The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 17: The Elven Forest without Tranquility

According to Nicole, the Halflings' special cooking methods for Elf Forest ingredients have changed the elves' eating habits in less than two hundred years. The elves from top to bottom welcome the Halflings to settle down in the Elf Forest and even live with the elves.

Halflings once roamed the northern part of the Elven Forest, but because there was little human activity in the south, they did not set foot there.

The halflings once warned the elves that humans’ greed was endless. Their reproduction speed was like that of rats that had taken dumb drugs. Sooner or later, humans would encroach on the rich elven forest.

Although the elves are oblivious to what is happening outside, they are not fools. From a series of actions taken by humans, the elves have already smelled something different.

But what can the elves do? After experiencing the plane war, even if the elves had recuperation for thousands of years, unfortunately the population of the elves at that time was less than two million, and this was the total number including the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

The Elf Forest is located in the west-central part of the Green Continent, close to the west coast, and is the source of the Green River. In other words, the Elf Forest is not protected by any natural barriers.

The Green River converges on the south side of the Elf Forest. Its source is not some big river in the Elf Forest, but a series of trickles that cannot stop the iron hoofs of humans. For the two major empires in the north and the south, the Elf Forest is a natural springboard that does not require a river crossing operation. In addition, the Elf Forest is rich in resources and can provide a large amount of food. From a strategic perspective, the Elf Forest is a strategic location for the two countries.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the elves' strong archery and magic abilities, that although the two empires covet the Elf Forest, they are also afraid that their attacks will push the elves into the arms of their opponents.

That is why the elves were able to live in the Elf Forest even after the two empires unified the north and the south.

Just like the halfling said, elves give birth to children individually, while humans give birth to children in groups. The human population exploded in groups, and finally, two hundred years later, the populations of the two great empires in the north and the south both exceeded 100 million.

Among them, the Northern Empire developed more rapidly because it absorbed the high-quality scientific and technological achievements of the dwarf civilization, the farmland of the halflings and the mines of the dwarves.

When the population of the Southern Empire exceeded 100 million, the population of the Northern Empire had reached 120 million.

Although the two empires did not want to push the elves, a race of magicians, into the arms of the enemy, they coveted the rich resources and large quantities of high-quality timber in the elven forest even more.

During the plane war, the elves relied on hunting the herbivorous beasts that the elves raised in the elven forest, so that the coalition forces could have a meal of meat soup every day.

Don't underestimate the description of this broth. You have to know that in the era when there was no large-scale animal husbandry, eating meat was a rare thing. In today's human world, broth is still a delicacy on the middle-class tables, and it is difficult for the poor to even smell the meat.

The Elf Forest is famous throughout the continent for its rich resources. During the Plane War, students from various races in the magic academy located in the west of the Elf Forest spread the reputation of the Elf Forest's beauty and richness throughout the entire Grein continent.

How could the two empires let go of the Elf Forest? The elves are innocent, but they are guilty of possessing the treasure.

The two empires did not take direct action against the Elf Forest, but instead withdrew the closest outposts to the Elf Forest in their empires.

Before long, wandering warriors, small-scale mercenary groups, and even bandits appeared in the area adjacent to the Elf Forest and the two empires.

The elves were overwhelmed with the trouble, and after seeking negotiation from the two empires in vain, the elves' bows and arrows began to be stained with human blood. This was not because the elves were overbearing, but because those bad guys who broke into the Elf Forest not only robbed the products of the Elf Forest, but also had other ideas about the handsome elves.

The elves never bowed their heads in front of dragons, so how could they have ever suffered such a great humiliation? !

Faced with the magic and archery of the elves fighting at home, these scum who ran to the Elf Forest to pan for gold received a bloody lesson.

But this did not dispel the human beings' covetousness for the Elf Forest. Even the elves fighting at home could not fully control the vast Elf Forest, and there would always be some that slip through the net.

When precious herbs, fine furs, and valuable food ingredients slowly flowed out of the Elf Forest, larger crowds appeared on the outskirts of the Elf Forest.

The small towns adjacent to the Elf Forest in the two empires have even become bazaars with huge trade volumes. Taverns, inns, weapon shops, trading companies and countless caravans come here to buy anything valuable that the lucky adventurers bring out of the Elf Forest.

The quiet and elegant Elf Forest has never had peace since then.

This situation climaxes with a living elf being brought out of the Elven Forest by a mercenary group.

The beauty of elves is recognized by all the humanoid intelligent life forms and dragons in the entire Grion continent. Nine and a half out of ten dragons that can transform into human form are modeled after elves, which indirectly illustrates this problem.

The beauty of elves is the same for both men and women. Even if the most mediocre elf man is placed among humans, he is more than qualified to be a handsome man that drives women crazy.

However, the aesthetic elves believe in love, and pure love is one of the duties of the moon god worshipped by the elves.

As an advanced species, elves are tougher than the shorter species. Once the elves' grief is greater than their despair, they will choose a very beautiful way to die: cardiac arrest.

If the heart is dead, can the spirit still live?

This ancient proverb about the elves' view of love clearly tells humans that elves are a race they cannot enslave.

However, human greed prompted them to make progress. These humans even thought of starting with the elf children. The ignorant elf children had no outlook on life or values.

Since it can’t be a plaything, let the elves become cute creatures.

The first naive and cute elf boy who entered the human auction house drove all the human ladies crazy.

The little elf boy did not suffer any torture from humans. Before the auction was over, a great magician of the elves gave up his mission of protecting the Moon Goddess and maintaining the balance of high-end elemental forces, and walked out of the Elf Forest and flew all the way to the sky above the auction house.

That day, except for the little elf boy held in the arms of the elven grand magician, the runaway magical elements left no living creature within a mile of the auction house.

Although the Human Empire also had a Grand Mage, the two empires remained silent about this because at that time the elves not only had two Grand Mage-level super masters, but also a Mage Saint.

According to the long history of the dragon race, there have been many gaps in the number of mages on the continent of Green, but there has never been a time when there were two mages on the continent in the same historical period.

The existence of the magic saints and saint-level magic has affected the balance of elements. The dragon clan believes that this is a restriction from the world.
