Chapter 147 The Decision of the Moon Shadow Tribe

As in the legend, although men and women are generally equal within the elves, female elves usually hold important positions.

Elushia, the elder of the Nightsong Tribe, is a female elf, and the Moonshadow Tribe has three elders, all of whom are female elves.

Elder Lisanya Shadowsong was the oldest and most qualified of the three elders, and was naturally the one with the highest prestige.

According to Elder Elushia's description of Xu Yi, she should be nearly 400 years old this year, several decades older than Elder Elushia.

But if you just look at her appearance, she is not much different from a young girl in her early twenties, and she looks very close to Elder Elushia's youth.

Because of Elder Elushia's letter, Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's attitude towards Xu Yi was not as vigilant and hostile towards him as ordinary elves, but looked at Xu Yi with curiosity.

"Human, from the outside, you don't seem to have anything special. Although you should be a human magician, I can see that you are not powerful. I am curious why Elushia treats you differently. What?" Elder Lisanya Ge's first sentence expressed the curiosity in his heart very bluntly.

Xu Yi smiled and replied, "Elder Yingsong, I think Anise must have told you a lot about me these days."

"Yes, Anise seems to like you very much. What she described to me is all your advantages. She even thinks that you can save the entire elves." Elder Lisanya Yingsong looked up and down at Xu Yi again. Shaking his head lightly. "But I don't see that possibility."

"Elder Shadowsong, this kind of thing can't be seen just by looking at it. Of course. I'm not as exaggerated as Yanis described it. But I think the elves just don't lock themselves up. We humans are normal. Get along in a friendly way, then the elves actually have no crisis at all, and naturally they don't need any rescue." Xu Yidao.

"Do you get along with humans normally and friendly?" Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's expression was a little sighed, and his thoughts instantly returned to a long time ago. "Before the racial war broke out, human beings did get along with us elves friendly for a long time. But when human beings felt that they were strong enough, you immediately started the war ruthlessly. Since then, human beings and elves have been inseparable. There is no possibility of normal friendship."

"You care too much about the past." Xu Yi said unceremoniously. "Although we humans also respect and value history, our creed is that history is history. The past has passed. Thousands of years have passed since the race war, and the hatred between humans and elves has long since disappeared. .Since the elves of the Nightsong tribe can get along normally and friendly with us humans, then I think the elves of other tribes can too."

"I have to express my admiration for Elushia's courage. She conquered her heart for the tribe to survive. But...we Moonshadow tribe did not face the same crisis as Nightsong tribe, even if we don't get along with humans, we It is still possible to survive. So human, although I met you because of Erushia’s letter, I don’t think it is necessary for us to continue communicating. Please come back.”

Look at the calm expression on Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's face. Xu Yi couldn't help but scolded in his heart.

These elves seem to be very heartless. But in Xu Yi's view, this is clearly arrogant.

It is clear that the elves of the entire continent are now facing a major problem of racial survival, but she is still here to say that there is no crisis.

Should it be said that this is the arrogance of the elves, or that she really didn't realize the problem?

Thinking of the size of the Moon Shadow Tribe of more than 3,000 elves, and how they get along with ordinary humans in the Principality of Standing, Xu also felt that the latter possibility was most likely.

After all, Xu Yi knew so many elves, they might appear arrogant, but they had one common advantage, that is, they were very honest.

Since Elder Lisanya Shadowsong said she didn't think the Moonshadow Tribe was in danger, that meant she really thought so.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt that it would be better not to go around with her. After thinking about it, he asked directly: "Elder Yingsong, you said that your Moon Shadow Tribe is not in danger, so I want to ask a question. Excuse me... Moon Shadow Tribe is now How many elves are there in total?"

Elder Lisanya Shadowsong asked in amazement, "Why are you asking this?"

"Because the total population represents the prosperity of a race. If the total population of a race has been growing steadily, it proves that the entire race is in the process of rising prosperity, and if the total population is always declining , it proves that this race is facing a crisis. Elder Shadowsong, has the total number of elves in the Moonshadow Tribe increased or decreased compared to ten or a hundred years ago?"

Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's expression changed slightly.

As the oldest elder in the Moon Shadow Tribe, she is of course very clear that compared with ten years ago, the total population of the Moon Shadow Tribe has not changed much, but if compared with a hundred years ago, the current Moon Shadow Tribe's population has not changed much. The total number of elves was less than 90% of what it was at that time!

In just one hundred years, the Moon Shadow tribe has lost one-tenth of its population.

According to this trend, I am afraid that within a thousand years, the Moon Shadow Tribe will naturally disappear on this continent.

Seeing Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's expression, Xu Yi immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.

In fact, it's not just the Night Song Tribe and the Moon Shadow Tribe. It should be said that since the race war, the total number of elves on the entire Sainz Continent has been declining.

The reason why elves are rarely seen on the Sainz Continent now is that the elves are not willing to get along with humans, and the most important reason is that the elves have become extremely rare.

If this trend continues, in another thousand years, the elves will become a rare race that is even rarer than the pandas in the celestial dynasties on earth.

It is precisely because he saw this terrible trend that after meeting with Xu Yi, Elder Elushia began to seek the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the elves and humans, trying to bring the elves back to the whole continent, and let the elves rely on A new way of life is reborn.

Elder Elushia made this bold choice because of the crisis of the Nightsong Tribe, while the Moon Shadow Tribe did not face such an urgent crisis, so Elder Lisanya Shadowsong would dismiss it. .

But when Xu Yi raised this question, Elder Lisanya Shadowsong had to face this reality.

At this time, she suddenly thought of something mentioned in Elder Elushia's letter.

In the letter, Elder Elushia said that since choosing to cooperate with humans, the Nightsong Tribe has actually seen three new elves in just one year!

For the Ye Song tribe with a total population of less than 1,000, this is a birth rate far beyond imagination!

Even before the racial war, in the most glorious period of the elves, the birth rate of the entire elves never exceeded one thousandth. And now the Night Song tribe, such a small elf tribe, has actually reached three thousandths!

If you compare the life expectancy of elves several times that of humans, then this birth rate is already close to that of humans!

Elder Elushia also did not understand the reason for this change, but she pointed out in her letter that both the change in birth rate and the various changes in the people of the tribe were all caused by the appearance of this human named Xu Yi. of.

Although I don't know the specific reason, this Xu also may be the key.

Thinking of this, and thinking about the possibility that the elves can proliferate as quickly as humans, Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's eyes on Xu Yi instantly became kinder.

Another three days passed, and Xu Yi and his party returned to the small town of Samara.

Compared with when we went, in addition to Xu Yi and Yanis who came back, there were two more maids given to Xu Yi by Patriarch Wei Lun, and three more female elves from the Night Song tribe.

The three female elves returned to the Kingdom of Lampari with Xu Yi because of Elder Lisanya Shadowsong's order.

According to Elder Lisanya Shadowsong, these three female elves were her messengers to the Nightsong tribe. In addition to bringing her greetings to Elder Elushia, they also followed Xu Yi for a while. Time to learn about the human world like Anise did.

Xu Yi had no objection to this. He had no hope of persuading the Moon Shadow Tribe to cooperate with him through a simple meeting.

It would be good to let Elder Shadowsong learn about the cooperation model between him and the Nightsong tribe through these three elves, and to experience the changes he brought them before making a decision.

But what he couldn't understand was why Lisanya? Elder Shadowsong wanted to send three elves at a time, and they were all very beautiful female elves.

What's even more strange is that she should have sent some mature and prudent elves with sufficient wisdom for this kind of thing, but the three female elves sent this time are all less than one hundred years old.

If it was replaced by the corresponding human age, it would be less than twenty years old.

Three yellow-haired girls who are less than twenty years old, can they really investigate anything?

Xu Yi had a lot of doubts about this, but looking at Yanis next to her, she retracted the question.

At the beginning, Elder Elushia sent out Anis, who was underage according to human age. Now that Elder Shadowsong is doing this, it is probably just a simple imitation.

Of course, that wasn't a problem for him either.

Anyway, he just wanted to show the cooperation between himself and the Nightsong clan to Elder Lisanya Shadowsong, and such a little girl would hand over the most intuitive report, which would be more convenient for Elder Shadowsong to make judgments.

As for the final result, Xu Yi is still very confident.

Especially when he saw that the road leading to the Black Rice Wasteland outside the small town of Samara was nearly finished. (To be continued..)
