Great Elf Sage

Fourier took out a tea set and said while making tea: "The Presbyterian Council first thought about whether the offspring of close relatives would be more likely to produce perfect elves. After comparing the birth statistics of all elves, they found that No. In Lanyou and Chris’s family genealogy, there were indeed many cases of consanguineous marriages, but later it was discovered that this was not all the reason..biquge”

Nolan was a little surprised. Why was this tea set so familiar? It felt a bit like the one he had mysteriously disappeared a few years ago.

Fourier continued: "Nolan, since you study those 'magics', you should also know that the four major elves now are not only different in the scope of their expertise in the power of nature, but also in their body's adaptability to magic elements. There are also differences, the gold elves are more inclined to the fire element, the silver elves are more inclined to the wind element, the forest elves are more inclined to the earth element, and the water elves are more inclined to the water element."

Nolan nodded: "From my research over the years, this is indeed the case. I thought you who are not interested in magic don't know this."

Fourier said with a smile: "It is true that we old guys don't have the enthusiasm and energy to study your magic, but your research results over the years have always been open to us, so as long as you are interested, you can still know I know. Besides, we didn’t just confirm this based on your research data.”

Nolan asked thoughtfully: "You mean...ancient elf?"

If there are any secrets among the elves that Nolan is not clear about now, it can only be the ancient elves.

It's not because the Elven Council of Elders has blocked the ancient elves' information from Nolan, but rather that all the elves' documents are currently completely open to Nolan. But some things that are not in the information can only be known through the accumulation of age. For example, the mysterious whereabouts of the ancient elves who only return to the Elf Forest once every hundred years.

Yes, now that the World Tree has not created any more ancient elves for more than seven thousand years, there are actually several ancient elves still living in the world. And this is Nolan's disadvantage in experience and qualifications as a new elf.

"That's right." It was Francisco who answered.

"The ancient elves are different from our modern elves. Each of them is a unique and perfect life created by the World Tree alone. In addition to their talents in the power of nature, they also have talents in other fields, that is, the attribute magic you mentioned. They have different areas of expertise. The ancestors of the four major elves now, the four ancient elves who combined with the original new elves, are actually gifted in attribute magic power by the four basic elements of fire, wind, water, and earth. This is the source of the adaptive physique of the four elves’ magic power.”

Regarding this information, since no one had studied magic so thoroughly before Nolan, it was not recorded in the elven documents without clear evidence. Only the Presbyterians, old guys who had met the ancient elves several times, We just got some vague information.

"Since it is the four basic elements, then...that's it!" Nolan suddenly realized.

Although the four basic elements are called basic elements, it does not mean that there are only four elements that make up the world. It means that almost all stable substances in the world contain the four basic elements. The four basic elements are Basic elements for the stable existence of matter.

In this world, no single element can form matter. A single magic element is just some kind of energy that has fallen from a higher dimension. Only complex elements containing the four basic elements can be arranged and combined. To form the material in reality.

In short, anything in nature that needs to exist stably must be inseparable from the four basic elements. Some natural disasters, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, storms, etc., are mostly caused by the lack of the four elements. Many of Nolan's major disasters Ranged and powerful attack magic, such as the 'Legendary Explosion Magic' that blew up an adult dragon with one shot, are based on this principle.

In fact, not only elves, the hidden talent of elemental adaptability can be found in all living things and even non-living things. Just like the previous human Simon Hughes, he has the most outstanding adaptability to the earth element among humans, so he can use the earth attribute to The blood of the Gray Winged Dragon perfectly performs the ritual of bathing in the dragon's blood. The pure white magic stone invented by Nolan can grow like a plant when watered by the power of nature. It is a non-living thing with the adaptability of the power of nature.

Nolan probably guessed that the cause of this talent was due to a slight imbalance of elements in the living body. A large ratio of elemental imbalance will cause the foundation of material existence to disappear, but this weak imbalance will cause the material to adapt to a certain attribute magic, and the same is true for organisms.

Although the ancient elves and the original new elves are both perfect creatures, they focus on different directions. On the basis of being close to the soul essence of the World Tree, the ancient elves were endowed with the highest talent in a certain attribute magic power. The ancient elves who were highly assimilated by the attribute magic power also gained a lifespan that far exceeded that of the new elves; in order to make up for being far away from the world Due to the lack of talent caused by the nature of trees, the new elves are endowed with a perfect body in which all magic elements are completely balanced. Therefore, the new elves can still have the talent of natural power without having attribute talents and soul essence that is not as good as that of the ancient elves. with a lifespan of hundreds of years.

While the mixed-blood modern elves inherit the talents of the ancient elves, the balance of the perfect body is broken. But with the blessing of the bloodline of ancient elves, not only has the life span of modern elves not been shortened, but their natural power of talent is even higher than when they had perfect bodies.

If it weren't for the imbalance in the birth rate between men and women, modern elves could even be said to be more advanced than the original new elves. This was also the reason why the four royal families, who were initially unaware of the problem of bloodline defects, allowed the blood of ancient elves to spread among all four elves. .

Today's modern elves can be said to be incomplete evolutions of the original new elves. The imperfection lies in the fact that modern elves have lost their perfect bodies, and the problem of genetic diseases also arises from this.

Fourier took a sip of tea. This drink invented by Nolan and made from leaves as raw materials has gradually become popular among the four elves after being promoted by Ji Liye.

Putting down the teacup made of fallen branches from the World Tree, Fourier said to Nolan: "Ji Liye asked us to check the origin of your and Chris's family genealogy, Nolan, and found that you are among the four ancient elements. The mixed proportions of elven blood are exactly the same. In other words, you and Chris have no problem of elemental imbalance. While you have inherited the talents of the ancient elves, you have also restored the perfect bodies of the original new elves. , this kind of perfect bloodline does not have the genetic disease of imbalanced birth rates between men and women, and it is a perfect bloodline that is more perfect than the Perfect Body Elf and the Ancient Elf!"

At this point, the causes and consequences are almost clear. Nolan thought about it for a moment and understood why the Presbyterian Church was determined to combine itself with the princesses of the four royal families this time.

Although there is no social barrier between the four elves, due to certain differences in living habits, intermarriage between them is relatively rare. But the four major royal families are different. There have been few men in the four major royal families for thousands of years. The husbands of every queen are male elves with outstanding talents among the four major elves, and because the ancient elves of the four major royal families have more blood than the average The elves are so much richer that even if they are mixed with the other three major elves, the offspring will not lose the characteristics and talents of their own race.

Therefore, in Nolan's generation, each member of the four royal families has the blood of the four ancient elemental elves flowing at the same time, and Nolan and Chris have both mixed blood ratios of the four elemental bloodlines. Maintained a perfect balance.

Francisco, who had just brewed a new pot of tea, waited for Nolan to digest the information and then said:

"If we are humans, we can arrange marriages for several generations and dozens of generations, and finally get a newborn with perfectly balanced bloodlines. But we elves can't. First of all, it is much more difficult for us to give birth to offspring than for humans, and planning and arrangements are time-consuming. It took too long, and secondly, our Presbyterian Church will never make such an arrangement regardless of the wishes of the parties involved!"

Fourier fully agreed with this.

Looking at his grandpa and uncle with righteous faces, Nolan really wanted to snatch their cups and throw them to the ground, if it weren't for the fact that the tea set was his own treasure that they took away without knowing when.

Am I not the party involved?

Nolan did not say this, because he knew that it was indeed impossible to achieve the goal by manipulating the marriage between ordinary elves in the elf society, and he adjusted the blood ratio again and again to use the thin ancient resources of ordinary elves. The elf bloodline and the elf fertility rate may not be achieved even if it takes tens of thousands of years. Members of the royal family who already have four bloodlines are the best candidates for adjustment. There is only one male in the royal family, Nolan. As an elf prince, he must bear this responsibility for this thousand-year plan involving all elves.

Francisco added: "Nolan, you and Chris are already perfect elves. According to Master Yggdrasil, there is no blood defect between you, which means that your children will not have differences in birth rates between men and women. It’s a matter of balance, so as long as you and Chris work hard and give birth to one or two princes, they will take over your tasks in the next generation. And so on, according to calculations, eventually the four major princes will be born after three to five generations. The royal family will almost complete the bloodline evolution, and then we can start the next step to spread the perfect bloodline to all four elves."

Okay, it's magic.

Nolan refused to accept it. He hailed himself as a peerless genius and believed that he would become the master of magic in this world. However, he did not expect that on this issue where he refused to surrender in order to adhere to the values ​​​​of his previous life, he would be accused of magic-based theories. Convinced.

"Okay, I agreed. This is my responsibility as a royal family. You convinced me."

Nolan sighed. He felt that the last remnant of his humanity had completely dissipated with this sigh.

"However, this matter is not urgent. I hope it can be done at a time that I and the other princesses agree on."

"Of course."

Francisco expressed satisfaction with Nolan's decision. He put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers under the tip of his nose, and said in a low voice:

"Since the last participant has agreed to carry out the plan, I declare that the elf completion plan has been officially approved. Later, Fourier and I will tell other members of the Presbyterian Council and several princesses the results of this conversation. Nolan, just let things take their own course."

To be continued.
