The reason why Shuangye Town became Luther's first stop on this trip was because of a small-scale wildfire that broke out in Shuangye Town not long ago.
Sirona, who angrily scolded Luther, saw that Luther had made up his mind, so she handed over this difficult matter to Luther.
When he came, Luther didn't know what was so difficult about this matter until Ayi took out an exploration map near the fire site.
A red oil pen drew circles one after another near the fire site, and small flags representing the elf tribe were placed on the map by Ayi, like a sand table simulation.
Standing in front of the table, Luther stopped and looked at the dense red circles on the map and the situation of more than twenty flags, and really took a breath.
Luther glanced at the scale of the map. The current situation was equivalent to more than twenty large elves crowded into the western area of Qidao Island.
"This observation result is relatively outdated. It was inquired about half a month ago by a person from the alliance who can speak elven language."
"Due to drought, this snowless winter has left many elves lacking food, and wandering elves are also forming groups everywhere. They don't know where to find food, but they keep leaving their habitats one by one.
Elves are blind. When they saw a large number of elves gathering in this area, they subconsciously thought that this would be a good place, so they stayed one after another.
In the end, the grand occasion that Luther saw now was formed.
In order to survive, not long ago, the elves in this area fought fiercely, so that the mountain fire burned for two days.
If it weren't for the consensus among the elves that the forest should not be destroyed easily to prevent food shortages in the coming year, the wildfire might even spread to Shuangye Town.
Luther frowned and asked doubtfully: "Since this matter is so confusing and difficult, why didn't the Alliance send anyone else here to solve it before me?"
Ayi stared at Luther as if he were looking at a fool.
A larger map was pulled out, a large map of the Sinnoh region.
"As far as I know..." Ayi twirled his pen and introduced calmly, "The talents that the alliance can mobilize, who are reliable and can resolve conflicts between elves and humans are all busy."
"There are elves attacking the villages in Qifeng City and even the entire northern Sinnoh area."
"The wild elves in the three cities of Steel, Celebration, and Waterline can no longer be appeased. The overlord elves among them asked the trainer to inform the alliance..."
"They can no longer suppress such a large ethnic group. They are very dissatisfied with their actions and their authority is being questioned."
"For the sake of the ethnic group, they have no choice but to feel sorry for them."
"Do you know what it means to say such a sentence?"
Ayi took a deep breath.
"I heard that Qidao will have a big harvest this fall?" Ayi said, "I don't mean to be sarcastic, but I want to tell you that Sinnoh is on fire, and it's on fire everywhere."
"Last year's frost wiped out the crops, and this year's mid-year drought from the beginning to the end of the year cracked the earth and killed trees in countless areas."
"Various water sources that were originally abundant even experienced horrific scenes of drying up."
"Water is actually not a big problem, and everyone was very calm until autumn, thinking that everything would get better after this winter."
"But when autumn comes, everything goes bad."
"The harvests in many places have failed, and the wild elves' habitats have been short of food, so these wild elves have been forced to start migrating."
"After observing the situation, the alliance has mobilized a large amount of manpower to appease, but this kind of appeasement is ineffective. Even if the food is in place, panic is spreading among the elves."
"Two consecutive years of horrific celestial phenomena convinced the elves that this was a sign of the coming disaster. In order to obtain a good place to avoid natural disasters, countless elves began to fight."
Ayi spoke very quickly and in a calm tone, but there was sadness that could not be concealed in his words.
"Now do you know why?" Ayi said, "Because it is very difficult to communicate with elves, and appeasing hordes of elves is also a technical job. Ordinary people cannot be allowed to go into battle."
"Once a misunderstanding occurs, the misunderstanding will expand infinitely...because wild elves and humans think differently."
"Not to mention that the wild elves are extremely emotionally unstable right now and are very likely to explode at the slightest touch."
"It's not that the Alliance just sent people here now, it's that now the Alliance can finally send people here."
Luther's face looked heavy and he was no longer as relaxed as before.
Luther has already seen the alliance's mobilization ability, but now the alliance is facing a situation that is a hundred times colder than last year.
A group of anxious wild elves will choose to be hostile to humans in exchange for the right to live if they are not careful.
This is not a prehistoric story, but something that really happened before our eyes.
It's no wonder that other alliances immediately chose to lend a helping hand to the Sinnoh Alliance. They all know what kind of crisis the Sinnoh Alliance is facing now.
No one can guarantee that the weather will be smooth next year. Sinnoh, which has faced natural disasters for two consecutive years, is now very weak.
And judging from the information provided by the alliance, what makes wild elves impatient now is not entirely food, but a sign of crisis.
Several people who are good at elven language told the Alliance that the wild elves feel that this crisis will continue, and some elves even think that this is divine punishment.
Spreading panic will only make the situation worse.
After all, food shortages can continue to provide assistance, but if they cannot calm down, no one can predict what these elves will do in panic.
The figure of Arceus suddenly appeared in Luther's mind.
He really hoped that Arceus would not wake up before the orb was found, but now that he heard the news, he changed his mind.
Luther would like Arceus to wake up and take a step at a time.
The worst case scenario is to follow Xiaozhi's old path and take a risk to go back to the past and put things right.
Rolling up the map on the table, Luther planned to set off now to check out the situation near the site of the wildfire, but was stopped by Ayi.
"The Alliance has an Elvish language expert over there. He should be back to rest tonight. You might as well wait for news from him before making preparations."
Luther stopped.
"Expert in Elvish?"
"Yes, before you came, he took the lead in stabilizing the local overlord Alidos, and has been supporting Alidos to take control of the overall situation and working hard to contain other wild elves from advancing towards Twinleaf Town."
"I don't know if Alidos can still be stable now, but you always need someone who can help you communicate with the elves, right?"
The atmosphere that had become dull and tense due to the situation was suddenly torn apart by Luther's smile.
Darkrai, who fully understood Luther's thoughts, emerged from Luther's shadow.
