Chapter 137: Life Dew Auction
The zoning of the Elf Kingdom is done by using the names of "flowers" and "trees".
Its capital is naturally the area where the "Elven Mother Tree" is located. Those who do not obey this rule are called "the Land of the Ancestors".
It is the origin of all elves.
The Elven Mother Tree is usually considered to have "eternity". But this statement has been challenged recently.
Because the Demon King planted the thing called "World Tree" in Butuo City. According to the recent intelligence and research obtained by humans, elves, and dwarves, the World Tree should be more advanced than the Elf Mother Tree in essence - but as everyone knows, it seems that there is no record of such a World Tree in the history of the major races. It was not until the Demon King took this thing out that people knew that such a thing had existed in the world.
Then the question arises.
Is the Elf Mother Tree eternal? It seems that from the years of existence, the Elf Mother Tree has not existed as long as the Demon King, so recently the elves are also discussing the issue of revising the description of the Elf Mother Tree. They think that the previous judgment of the Elf Mother Tree may be wrong.
Did this thing grow before the Demon King, or in the same period as the Demon King? Or... grew up under the watchful eye of the Demon King?
The elves could still accept the first two possibilities, but if it was the last possibility, they would have to suspect that the birth of the elves might have something to do with the Demon King, which would be very bad for the elves now. The elves had already lost repeatedly in the competition with humans in recent years.
If the third possibility was confirmed, they would definitely be chased and bitten by humans and the wise king.
The reason why they auctioned the elf dew condensed by the mother tree, which was of great benefit to the elves, was because they were under pressure in this regard. They had to speed up the research progress on the Demon King's liver. If humans continued like this, the situation would be very bad.
However, being able to do this also had a lot to do with the Demon King and the Hero. After all, from a factual point of view, the existence of the Demon King and the Hero did impact the dominance of humans.
It had a great impact on the Central Kingdom of Humanity and the White Church.
The White Church was the largest organization in the world, and there were believers in every race, but then again - it was mainly a church for humans. For example, for human elves, the first belief is always the mother tree of elves. Although in the decades of long process of the major races uniting to fight the devil, the elves objectively acknowledged the relationship between the mother tree of elves and "God".
But this statement actually raised the status of the White Church.
Of course, this was actually a concession made by the major races in order to reach a preliminary consensus for the union, which is not very suitable now... In the years since the death of the devil, the world has changed too quickly. For the elves, the changes in everything are too fast. Although they tried very hard to catch up with the pace of other races, their actual performance was not satisfactory. There were many old people with rigid thinking in the tribe.
That is to say, the current queen of elves has a very strong control over the entire elf tribe, otherwise, the decline of the elves is almost visible to the naked eye.
The auction of the elves is not as fancy as the auction of humans, and there are no many products to show you. Finally, the life dew is put at the end - after all, this thing is not something that a "natural" place like the Elf Kingdom should have.
The auction was officially held on a huge flower called "Rainbow Wing Flower".
This flower is actually very famous among the elves. It is "huge". Then the numerous petals unfold layer by layer in a special sequence. Each petal is a natural seat, and the center is a huge and wide circle. The elves like to add magic to such flowers, making them a natural means of transportation. That is the "big float" that the elves are very famous for.
This big float is quite famous in wars. After all, if you can add some magic such as solidity, you can also add offensive magic. At the beginning, the elves' army went out to war, all of them used such big floats to go out, which was a very gorgeous scenery on the battlefield.
Of course, even among the "big floats", this one is too large at the moment, enough to accommodate thousands of people.
But everyone knows that there are no more than thirty people in the world who can really buy the dew of life. The rest are here to "gain knowledge" or to get along well with the elves. After all, it is not easy to obtain admission qualifications. It also means that the elves recognize their status.
Of course, for Rose, the Enchantress, it was quite easy to enter.
The Enchantress's ability was new to this world, because it was different from the illusion in the conventional sense of magic.
Illusion was to let you see whatever the caster wanted you to see, while the Enchantress's ability was to let you see whatever you wanted to see.
Rose and Lastina didn't know who the guards and inspectors saw. Anyway, they swaggered into the Rainbow Wing Flower and found a corner to sit down. As for whether there should be other people in this seat, they would talk about it later.
As for the result, the huge Rainbow Wing Flower could not be completely filled. In fact, there were less than a thousand people present. Compared with the huge venue, it seemed a bit deserted.
The elves learned something called pomp from humans, but they didn't learn it comprehensively. Humans certainly don't want their own events to appear so "deserted", but the elves don't seem to care about it. It's better to say that this sparse state is exactly what they like.
Of course, there is only one item for auction, the Life Dew.
The Queen of the Elf is on the scene.
If humans were to host such an auction, they would definitely prepare various programs to stir up the atmosphere to the most enthusiastic time, welcome the Queen of the Elf to appear, reflect the importance of the Life Dew, and let the Life Dew appear under the attention of the public, but - this lively scene is indeed not in line with the style of the elves.
Of course, the Elf Queen still had to say a few words.
"It is our honor that you can come here. After the major races jointly defeated the Demon King, peace has come. You should know the importance of the Elf Dew to our elves. However, for the sake of harmonious friendship among the races and to reflect the friendly spirit of our elves, we are willing to take out such a drop of Elf Dew and hand it over to you."
What she meant was that for the sake of peace, our elves can even auction the Life Dew that can directly send an elf to become a great elemental mentor. It can be seen that our elves are not very interested in force and are a peace-loving race.
Whether anyone believes it is another matter, but at least, this is the current attitude of the elves.
Lastina considered the political signals in this, wondering what kind of changes such behavior would bring to the relationship between the elves and humans, and whether there was some kind of tacit understanding between the wise king and the Elf Queen.
"No matter how you look at it, I always feel that the Elf Queen is very anxious... Even if the Dew of Life can give birth to a being at the level of a Great Elemental Mentor, logically speaking, there should be no reason for her to be present in person. After all, the Great Elemental Mentor and her are theoretically two levels apart." Lastina pondered this question, "Is it because the elves are very idle?"
Rose refuted this, "Your perception is wrong. It is a wrong perception that only people like you who don't improve their own strength will have. You probably think that above the Great Elemental Mentor is an existence that is capable of bearing the Holy Name, and above that is the same level as the Sage Adriana. The Elf Queen should be a strong person at the same level as Adriana... That's why you said that the Elf Queen is two levels higher, but this perception is wrong after all."
Lastina blinked, "Huh? Isn't it?"
"Of course not. After all, whether it is a Holy Name or a Sage's Name, they are just names. From the perspective of the magic world, they are all Great Elemental Mentors. That realm is the pinnacle of magic."
"Rose, you are not a magician, right? Why are you so sure?"
"It's the same with warriors." Rose replied immediately, "It seems that your Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce lacks top-notch warriors. This is not a secret-"
"What about the Demon King and the Hero?"
Rose spread her hands: "There are usually two sayings. One is that the Demon King and the Hero are in another realm beyond the world's cognition. The other is that... the Demon King and the Hero stand at the 'extreme'. At the true extreme. Although it is still in the same field, it's like... rating. Some chambers of commerce have the habit of rating different merchants, right? Your Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce seems to be 100 points? When evaluating different forces, the closer to 100, the stricter the scoring?"
Lastina nodded: "Of course, after all, theoretically speaking, how could there be a force that would satisfy us 100 points?"
"That's what I mean. Theoretically, no matter in the field of magic, curse, alchemy or warrior, there will never be a real 100. There will always be certain flaws, but the Demon King and the Hero stand on that 100. Even if they are only one point higher than others, this one point is the straw that breaks the camel's back for others - this statement is now generally recognized by everyone. After all, the Demon King and the Hero are in another field... It's really scary."
Rose said this in a casual manner.
Lastina nodded in agreement: "You are right, that's really scary. The latter statement is more in line with reality."
