Chapter 650 Alice's decision!
In the palace of the elves in the sacred forest!
Alice was wearing a purple silk dress inlaid with gold, and a golden crown with carved inscriptions and various strange gems on her head. She was sitting on the throne, and below her stood dozens of elves of different ages.
Clan ministers.
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
These dozens of elven courtiers stood firm on both sides of the hall, and then they all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to salute Alice respectfully.
"Get up!"
Alice's cold voice came from above. If Gervais saw his cheap wife at this time, he would be surprised that the cheap wife's temperament has changed again.
Although Alice is as cold as ever, now there is an indescribable aura mixed in between this coldness. In short, the goddess has become even more goddess-like, making people feel even more unattainable.
In addition, if you use sensory detection, you can also find that Alice's cultivation is unfathomable.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!"
The elven courtiers below bowed respectfully again, then stood up and looked at Alice.
Under dozens of gazes, Alice remained calm. Her delicate thin lips were slightly opened and closed as she spoke to the people below.
"Just yesterday, the Beast Clan sent a messenger to deliver a message from the Beast King, saying that the Beast Clan has reached an agreement with the Human Race and is preparing to deprive the Goblin Clan of their right to pass the passage!"
Wow!
"Your Majesty the Queen, the orcs and humans are treacherous!"
"Yes, the goblins also paid a heavy price for resisting the undead. Without the various tools they invented and the various fortresses they built, we wouldn't be able to organize a defense line so quickly to deal with the undead!"
As soon as Alice finished speaking, several older elven courtiers below immediately spoke up and began to denounce the shamelessness of the humans and beasts.
Two hundred years of birth, old age, illness and death are enough for humans and orcs to forget a lot of history, but for many elves, they feel that it was just yesterday, especially when all the races in the Holy Continent formed an alliance to fight against the catastrophe.
A death-defying battle.
Now, because the Goblins are weak, the Goblins have been directly deprived of their passage quota, which reminds the elves of their own experiences.
Before the catastrophe, the elves also had quotas for three passages, but now they only have one quota left.
"Although the actions of the beasts and humans are treacherous, they are powerful. Not to mention the Goblins, even we elves cannot control them!"
Alice knew that her tribe was angry, but what could happen if they were angry? Although the elves still had the arrogance of the past, their weakening strength had become a fact.
"Now that the matter has been decided, the Orcs and the Humans proposed to use this deprived quota for us to compete among the three parties. The messenger sent this time is to inform us to participate in the competition for this quota!"
"The date for the competition for the quota has been set. It will be exactly one month later. The location of the competition will be the City of Hope of the Human Race Holy Alliance!"
"So, I summoned all the tribesmen here today just to discuss this matter!"
"My Queen, are you planning to send someone to compete for this spot? But it is too dangerous to do so!"
"Yes, Your Lady Queen, the location of the competition is in the hinterland of the human race. The human race is cunning and shameless. It is too dangerous for our people to go there."
After Alice finished speaking, some young elves had a little expectation in their eyes, but most of the older elves frowned and expressed concern.
The elves themselves have always been a precious thing coveted by the human race, because both men and women of the elves are very handsome and beautiful. If we send people to the hinterland of the human race, if some accidents happen, they will be beyond their reach, especially when the elves are weak now.
This is not because they are worried that humans will completely engulf the Elf mission. After all, the human race cannot afford the consequences. The Elf clan also has the final foundation. When the time comes, the orcs will definitely get an advantage.
But if the human race robs one, two, or four or five members of the mission, then as long as their hands and feet are clean, the elves will definitely suffer the consequences.
This kind of thing has happened before. Once upon a time, the human race and the orc tribe wanted to deprive the elves of a quota. The elves sent a mission. In the end, not only did the quota not be regained, but two members of the missionary tribe were also lost.
Because there is no evidence, such a matter will naturally be settled in the end.
"I know you have a lot of worries, but have you forgotten that the decline of our elves is not only due to the sparse population, but also has a lot to do with the loss of channel quota!"
"Although this quota was deprived from the Goblin tribe, it is precisely because of this that we have to compete for this passage quota. This will not only strengthen the strength of our elves, but also prevent the humans and beasts from getting what they want!"
Although the passage in the Land of the Gods does not limit the number of people entering and exiting, the size of the passage is very limited, with the diameter being about the same as the gate of a human city.
Therefore, in the face of the millions of people of the elves, such a passage is naturally not too big. If there is one more passage, the throughput of goods and people will naturally increase.
And another point is that once the passage to the Land of the Gods is fixed, it cannot be changed for thousands of years.
It's okay in the human race, because there are many roads in the city-state, and it's quite convenient for people to go to the entrance and exit.
However, millions of elves are scattered in the sacred forest. With only one entrance, many people will have to trek for a long time to come or return.
It's different if you have two channels at the same time.
Both the first and second questions are easily solved.
For example, in the first question, one channel can be used for people to enter and exit, and one channel for goods to enter and exit. This can greatly increase the throughput.
And if you only want to solve the second problem, you can separate the two passages and place them in two different areas of the elves to facilitate the entry and exit of the tribe.
In short, the more channels there are, the more benefits there will be.
Moreover, the reason why Adela came up with the idea of competing for the quota was actually for the sake of Gervais's ministers.
If there is only one channel, and it belongs to the elves, and the elves themselves are not enough, then even I, the queen, cannot harm the interests of the elves to help them, because this is likely to provoke conflicts between the elves and Gervais' men.
.
But if there are two channels, such things can be decided by oneself, and it will not cause big waves among the elves.
After hearing Alice's words, the elves below all remained silent and did not speak again.
They naturally understand the benefits of having an extra channel, but they are just unable to cope with the shamelessness of the humans and beasts.
Seeing that the tribesmen below did not say anything more, Alice continued.
"Your worries are not unnecessary. I have also thought about this matter, so for the safety of my tribe, I will go there in person this time, and I will also bring the human knights with me. I believe this can ensure the safety of my tribe!"
"What, Her Majesty the Queen is going there in person?"
"Your Majesty, you can't take any chances!"
"Her Majesty, please think again!"
Alice's words once again aroused the noise from the elves in the hall.
"I have made a decision on this matter. Prince Alder will personally escort me this time, so you tribesmen don't have to worry!"
Alice's tone at this time was very firm, leaving no room for any rebuttal from the courtiers below.
Prince Alder is Alice's father, the old earl. Now Alice's father's injuries have been completely healed using the Fountain of Life, and he can be said to be the strongest master in the entire elven race.
Of course, the name Prince Alder comes from the name of the former queen. The former queen was the brother and sister of Alice's father, so he was originally the prince of the elves.
Even if Alice becomes the queen of the elves now, her name will not change.
Hearing Alice's firm tone and the fact that she was protected by Prince Alder, the elves below fell silent again.
"Then this matter has been settled. Now go down and select the young strong men in the clan to follow me to the City of Hope. It must be completed within a week."
"Because the competition date is just one month from now. Although the Orcs have shown that they can ensure the safety of our passage in the Orcs' territory, time is not sufficient."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!"
The elven courtiers below responded immediately and bowed respectfully before retreating.
"Lina!"
After the hall was clear, Alice called out.
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Lina heard Alice's call and quickly walked out of the corner.
Now that Alice's identity has changed, Lina's title has naturally changed as well.
"How many times have I told you to call me miss when no one is around! Your Majesty has been feeling uncomfortable all day long!"
At this moment, Alice, who was alone with Lina, no longer had the majestic aura she had before. She rolled her eyes angrily at Lina, who first worked as a maid, then as a castle steward, and now as a palace manager.
Although her father has returned, Alder now only focuses on cultivation for the sake of the elves, and no longer focuses on government affairs.
Therefore, the burden of the Eurasian continent and the elves fell on Alice, which made her feel very strenuous, especially at the beginning stage.
If the elves and Gervais' men weren't very loyal, Alice might not be able to completely control it.
"Hehe! Yes, miss!"
Lina knew that her young lady was more tired now than before, so she chuckled and changed her title very obediently.
Even the previous calling her was just to tease his lady and make her happy.
"Go and arrange the supplies needed for this trip to the Holy Alliance!"
When Alice heard Lina's name, she softly explained with satisfaction.
"Yes, Miss! But Miss, there is not much money in the palace, even the gold coins we brought from Rose Castle are not much!"
Lina simply agreed at first, and then hesitantly reminded her.
"Well, it's okay. This trip doesn't need to be too wasteful. I believe that after this period of time, when the grapes mature in large quantities, you don't have to worry about the gold coins!"
After Alice became queen, she discovered that the elves had been living a closed life all year round, and it could be said that they had fallen into disrepair.
Many tribesmen live a primitive gathering life in the jungle. Although such a life is worry-free and enough to satisfy their hunger, over time, the elves will inevitably become as uncivilized as the orcs.
Seeing this, Alice naturally couldn't let such a thing happen, so she took out the money she brought from Eurasia to build a new gathering place and build roads in the sacred forest.
Such expenses are naturally a lot of money, and the Jones family's capital has been depleted at once.
On the contrary, the humans brought from Europe and Asia made a lot of money from wine, so Alice didn't need to worry about it.
Of course, all this is only temporary. Countless vines have been planted in the sacred forest, and Alice has sent a large number of elves to take care of the vines.
Whether the vine is inside the Elf Bug space or outside the space, it can grow better and mature faster than before.
