Thousands of elves passed through the outpost, flew over the outskirts of the forest, and landed near the city gate.
After landing, Jia Zhengjin asked the fake dragon to return to the mine where it was stationed to rest. The giant bee Ruruto, who had been carrying the elves on their journey in the past few days, also asked them to return to their hive.
The city gate opens.
Dolma, Alvin, Buddy, Wolf, Karl, Vera, Leo, Michael, Rabbi, and Amber greeted them side by side. The kobold troops, town guard troops, city guard troops, and new crossbow troops lined up neatly.
On both sides, more villagers were watching behind the city wall and the army.
Jia Zhengjin led thousands of elves into the city, and there were curious looks and comments about the elves everywhere.
The race of elves is not very common in the first place, let alone thousands of them coming all at once?
After only six or seven days out, Jia Zhengjin discovered that the city had changed a lot.
The first is city defense. A lot of arrow towers have been built near the outer city gate, and most of them have been upgraded to level six or seven. It seems that they have been carrying out the order after I left!
Secondly, the originally empty area of the outer city has now been occupied by densely populated simple stone houses of residents.
"Lord Keen!" Zhuoma came over and explained, "After the families of the city guards are brought back, they will need a large number of residential accommodations. In addition, there will be a group of soldiers from Mangar City later, so we asked the kobold craftsmen to use the best
At a fast pace, more places to live were built.”
"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Let the kobold craftsmen build more, and these elves will live here tonight! The number of people who can live in the Fairy Garden is limited, and it is impossible to accommodate them all!"
"You can rest assured about this!" Zhuoma replied, "We have been expanding the residential area during this time, and now there are enough vacant houses. Even if there are three or four thousand people, they can still accommodate it! And stone houses continue to be added every day
, just taking this situation into consideration!”
Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the residential area was enough, so why bother building so many? However, he did not say it to his face, he just nodded: "Okay, you take people to arrange these elves! Also, I will send them tomorrow
People escorted them back to the Elf Forest..."
"Lord Keen!" Before he could finish his words, an elf suddenly walked out of the crowd, "I have no shame to return to the Elf Forest, and there is no way to return to that pure world! You are my savior and my guide.
My savior from the sea of suffering. I beseech you, let me stay in your city!"
"Philip, are you crazy?" When Xian Gil heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Without the blessing of the Tree of Life, your lifespan is only 1,000 years at most! You are 527 years old, which means that you can only live for 1,000 years at most.
Just live for another 400 years!"
Under the protection of the Tree of Life, the elves are basically immortal. But once they leave the Tree of Life, their lifespan is only 1,000 years old at most!
The problem is, Jia Zhengjin wanted to scold her after hearing this.
You can only live for more than 400 years at most? Are you kidding me? Do you think that 400 years is very short? Have you ever considered that we humans have lived a long life after a hundred years? According to you, we should not cry to death?
"Your Highness Princess!" The elf named Philip looked back at Xian Gil, "You can't understand how I feel now. While I was enslaved by those human nobles, I lived a life that was worse than death every day! Don't say that.
400 years, even 4 days, are extremely torturous and long for me! After experiencing so many things, I can never return to my original intention and become the pure elf I used to be. I cannot return to the elf.
I cannot face those pure people in the forest. Please forgive me for my selfishness!"
"Philippe..." Xian Gil wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Jia Zhengjin thinks this elf's thoughts are normal. He probably feels that he really has no shame to go back and face his own people. After all, they suffered all kinds of humiliation when they were treated as slaves. Let alone them, it would be anyone else.
People with a bit of self-respect and shame would probably be afraid to go back. Therefore, he agreed to the elf's request without thinking: "If you stay voluntarily, of course I won't refuse! But staying in my city is
My citizens, you must abide by my laws here and obey my commands!"
"This is as it should be!" Philip nodded immediately.
"Okay!" Seeing this situation, Xian Gil nodded helplessly, "Philip, since this is your decision, I respect you! I will take others back to the Elf Forest tomorrow. If you figure it out by then, you can
Talk to me!"
"Your Highness Princess!" However, as soon as she finished speaking, several more elves came out.
Xianjier turned his head, with a puzzled look on his face.
The elves looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, one of the women said: "Your Highness, please forgive me! In fact... we had already secretly discussed it on the way back. Everyone here has been reduced to slaves.
Humiliated. Just like Philip, we are also afraid to return to the Elf Forest and face the strange looks from our tribe!"
"How could it be?" Xianjier said hurriedly.
"Your Highness," the female elf said, "there were elves who were treated as slaves by humans or other races in the past and returned to the tribe. We have seen with our own eyes the indifference, indifference and disgust towards them by the tribe! In fact, at that time,
I am also a member of No. 1 Middle School. Although Princess, you did not discriminate against us and even treated us better than before. But we know very well that our own ethnic group does not like unclean things the most! And now we belong to
One of them! We don’t want to live forever in the discrimination of others like those who returned to the clan. So, Your Highness, please forgive us! Although you are not afraid of danger and come to rescue us personally. However, we
No one wants to return to the Elf Forest, and would rather spend their lives quietly in a strange place! Please forgive our selfish behavior!"
"Wha, what..." Xian Gil was stunned, "You all won't leave? Listen to me, although discrimination does exist, there are still many companions waiting for you to go home! Don't be impulsive and think carefully.
Let’s talk clearly…”
"Your Highness Princess!" Philip took a step forward, looked at her and sighed, "This was decided after all of us discussed and decided, and it was not an impulsive act. Please forgive us and let us act according to our own wishes!"
"This... as a princess, I will let the tribe treat everyone kindly! So please don't give up on yourself. You are outside, and your lifespan will end without the protection of the Tree of Life! Everyone, calm down and come home with me, okay?
?" Xianjier was a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess! But we have all made up our minds!" Philip knelt down on one knee, "Please forgive me, Princess!"
"Wow!" Although the other elves didn't say anything, they all followed Philip and knelt down to Xian Gil.
