Elves are an ancient race, so ancient that traces of the ancient wizarding era are still intact in the memories of some members of the royal family, but for humans, that has already happened in ancient times. Even the war between gods has been experienced several times. The memories belonging to humans and other races have long been fragmented and faded with time, but to the elves, it seems like it just happened yesterday.

After all, even the Elf Queen Heather herself is said to be young and has already celebrated her 1,500th birthday. However, this age is already very young among the upper-level rulers of the elves as a whole.

In such a long life, the changes in the human world are like a fleeting moment to the elves. Often, before they can react, the once brilliant dynasty era in the human world has come to an end.

It's not that the elves are dull, but that the elves' concept and rhythm of time have never been on the same time band as the outside world. What humans generally think of as a lifetime is just a short moment in their lives for the elves, a little nap. If you are lazy, you will miss it.

To humans this is called slowness, but to elves it is a normal rhythm.

Because elves may spend the first few hundred years of their lives learning morality, etiquette, and getting along with others. They may also spend decades savoring a certain stage of life, watering a pot of flowers, or Learn a skill.

But this is certainly unimaginable for humans. This is no longer laziness, this is simply a disaster.

This is why elves have never kept up with the times outside.

Therefore, over time, the elves have developed the habit of closing their doors and letting the outside world bloom and die, and never participate in the history of the outside world.

This is the result of natural selection and cannot be forced.

Of course, the fact that the elves as a whole are like this does not mean that the individual elves cannot participate in the turbulent times of the outside world. The elves hate evil and their noble and holy character will not be compromised by the conservative strategy of the tribe as a whole. Being annihilated.

In the history of any era in the mainland, when the trendsetters in those eras followed the times and set off the tide of the times, there was never a lack of elves among them.

Although the elves as a whole will not participate in the tide of the times, some outstanding individuals among them have never missed those highlight moments.

In those beautiful stories between elves and humans, those endless twists and turns, lingering, tossing, and pathos, in the poems circulated by the bards, elves have always been an important part of the history of the continent. Always connected with beauty and nobility.

This is the sprite.

Therefore, Queen Heather's hesitation now is, to a certain extent, following tradition.

On the contrary, Alleria's suggestion that the whole family take a clear stand and form an alliance with Zaun and the dwarves to jointly fight against the Noxians seemed too radical.

The Queen stretched her beautiful neck, looked over Alleria's head, and saw the sky above her head through the gaps in the leaves of the Erkarst crown on the top of the palace hall:

"No, Alleria, I am very grateful for everything you have done for the tribe outside. I am also very grateful to the Lord Arthur you invited for his help to the elves. This help is very important to the elves in the Secret Forest. It will never fade for our family. But it’s a pity.”

The queen lowered her head and looked directly at Alleria with her beautiful eyes.

"I can't promise you an alliance. I can promise to join forces with Lord Arthur to expel the Noxian army outside the forest. However, after completing this, the Secret Forest cannot join the coalition led by him and go out to fight. This is impossible."

"The Secret Forest can never form an alliance with foreigners."

"But this is the Queen"

Alleria, the former captain of the guard, could not hide her surprise and disappointment. How could this be possible? She could understand the queen's choice, but in the current situation, since the Secret Whisper Forest had chosen to accept the generous help from others, how could it be possible? In the end, there was not enough dedication. To put it nicely, this is called betrayal. To put it more seriously, it is even a kind of betrayal. No matter how you look at it, it will give people the feeling of burning bridges across the river.

If it were a person, such a choice would be enough to make others question his or her character.

If it is a country, such a country is enough to lose credibility in the eyes of any other race and country on the continent.

And for ordinary elves, this will definitely have a huge impact on their hearts, enough to make the elves doubt the choice of their own group. This goes against the moral values ​​that the elves firmly believe in.

This is definitely not a wise choice.

"Alleria, you should understand me. I cannot take the risk of breaking the traditions of the elves and committing the future of our entire clan to a war."

"It's an adventure."

"And the most important thing is that for us elves, this kind of risk is not worth it."

The Queen said earnestly.

Alleria understood the hidden meaning of the queen's words. In the queen's view, whether it was Noxus or Zaun, the hegemony that humans once had was short-lived to the elves, and would soon pass by. They The history of dominance on the continent is not worth mentioning for the elves.

Don't look at how aggressive the Noxians are now.

But the temporary concession will not really lose anything to the elves. It is really time to get desperate. All the elves retreated into the secret forest, closed the secret forest, and reopened the magic barrier passed down from ancient times. This will all be over soon.

The giant magical barrier in the Secret Forest has super-life ancient trees like Erkarst as its core, underground connection to the legacy of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and is guarded by a group of powerful wizards from the elves. This may be the most powerful ever in the history of the continent. Even legends and gods would find it difficult to break through this barrier easily. The elves had relied on this to survive countless years.

There's absolutely nothing the Noxians can do against it.

Then decades later, when the elves open the barrier and face the outside world again, what they see may be a new beginning. Perhaps by that time, the Noxus Empire will become a place where people can only pay tribute in the ruins. history.

In this case, why should the elves risk their lives to participate?

It's really not worth it.

The traditional responses of the elves may seem weak, but in fact they contain the unique racial wisdom refined by the elves over the long years.

This may be the otherworldly version of "seeing him building a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse".

The key is that the elves are really alive.
