Bringing Culture to a Different World

Arthur Crow, Elven Parliament.

The parliament held today was not a meeting of the five elders, but a meeting of all the High Elves present.

The last time the elven parliament was held was three thousand years ago, when Arthur Crow was the most prosperous elven capital on the surface.

Today, there were less than four thousand people left in Arthur Crow’s tribe. A few days ago, they fought with the enemies who tried to invade Arthur Crow, causing more than half of the injured people in the entire tribe to take up more than half.

In addition, the Outsiders had established a stronghold in the forgotten land, and the entire high elf tribe was in a state of tension and panic.

This time, the council would decide the future direction of the High Elves.

“Our current enemies are not all humans, but the evil sects that are hibernating in the dark green swamp.”

Elder SINDONAR stood on the high platform and spoke loudly in front of all the members of the tribe.

“The humans who visited the forgotten land are the guests recognized by the holy tree. It was precisely because of their help that Arthur Crow did not face the fate of destruction.”

Unfortunately, from the beginning until now, the situation in the Council of elders was very clear. The entire council of elders still held hostility toward outsiders, and only two people wanted to drive them away.

Elder Enya had already stood on Sindonar’s side.

“In the end… my stubbornness turned out to be a farce?”

An elderly conservative elder muttered to himself, but this voice could be heard by every clansman.

“Elder Karpis, their arrival does not necessarily bring destruction. It is a new opportunity.”

Elder Sindonal tried his best to speak to the two elders in a friendly tone.

If they let go of their stubbornness, then the crisis of the internal division of ascetic Crowe would no longer exist. One of the elders was clearly wavering.

But the wavering elder lowered his head and said softly after a moment of silence.

“New opportunity, your words… are really like what my old friend said, Sindonal.”The elder raised his head and said, “Many years ago, my old friend was just like you. He was filled with curiosity towards humans and would often visit the human settlements at the borders of Ascetic Crowe.”

When the elder slowly recounted Ascek’s past, all the elves who were listening in the Council fell silent.

The Council of elders did not hide the disaster. Every time a young high elf came of age, they would watch videos related to the disaster.

It was to let them remember the tragedy.

“But those humans revealed their true colors. They used my old friend as research material. When I saw him again, he had already become a mindless piece of meat.”The elder’s tone was very calm, but it was like a needle piercing into the hearts of every high elf.

“When I saw him again, Arthur Crow had already turned into a scourge. Your father also died in that resistance. I think many of the children here have lost their elders in that battle as well.”The elder said in a low voice.

“Is it glorious? “It’s not glorious… it was just a one-sided and cruel massacre. The blasphemer didn’t know how terrifying the monsters he released were. After so many years, you have forgotten the hatred of the past… for Arthur Crow’s future, you had no choice but to accept those humans. Elder Sindoar did the right thing, but I can’t accept it.”

At this point, the elder took off his robe, which represented his status as an elder.

“I can not live in peace with those who have killed my wife, friends, and even my parents, so I have decided to leave ASCEKRO.”

The moment he made this decision, the entire elven parliament was in an uproar.

Elder Kaepais was the most prestigious and oldest elder in the entire elven race, and elder Kuitoan was below him.

The Young High Elves who were also dissatisfied with the Outsiders stepped forward.

“We will follow elder Kaepais’guidance,”they said in pious voices.

This wave was gradually stirred up, and more and more young High Elves stood up to support the elder.

“You…”elder Sindonar was about to say something, but was stopped by Elder Kuitoan.

“It’s useless.”Kuitoan shook his head and said.

But at this moment, more and more silver-white light gathered around elder Capaz.

Elder Kuitoan understood that the elves who supported Capaz in the race were gradually increasing.

They were too young and didn’t understand what the outsider brought to Arthur Crow. They simply hated the outsiders invading their home.

At this moment, a silver number appeared above elder Kaepais’head.

Two thousand seven hundred and twenty-one.

Kuito’s eyes widened in confusion. He turned to look at elder Sindonar and realized that there was a number three hundred and twenty-seven on his head as well. There was a number seven hundred and seventy-three on his head.

The voice that was originally shouting ‘follow elder Kaepais’gradually stopped at this moment. The other Young High Elves also saw the number on Elder Kaepais’head.

Quitoan looked at Enya. The number on her head was ‘393’, but this number was slowly decreasing.

Even the number on elder Quitoan’s head was also slowly decreasing.

There were also a few young High Elves with this number on their heads, but most of them only had single digits and ten digits.

At this moment, a huge eagle landed on the top of the elven parliament stone pillar.

All the High Elves lowered their heads piously, because that white eagle was the incarnation of the World Tree’s consciousness. The eagle did not speak, but only transmitted a thought to the High Elves’consciousness.

That was, ‘the number on your head represents the admirers you have.’

The power of faith was the nourishment of the world tree, and the High Elves’strength and even life came from the world tree.

The High Elves could see the power of faith surrounding the elders from birth, and a large amount of the power of faith represented the status of the High Elves.

Originally, these white lights could not be counted clearly, and only the density could judge the strength. But now, with an accurate number,.

It was clear at a glance how much the elders in the council of elders were respected by the elves.

The appearance of this number further boosted the morale of Elder Kaepais’faction. The number of admirers on his head was slowly rising.

The Young High Elves below even said the words, “Should elder Kaepais ignore the other elders and expel the Outsiders?”.

“If you can judge the status of the race based on this number alone, then can the five elders come down and hand over the position to me?”

Suddenly, a voice like a sharp blade tore apart the noisy shouts of the elven council.

A figure gradually walked towards the center of the Elven Council. The number displayed above her head was 12,720… this number was enough to make all the Young High Elves shut their mouths.

“Aurelian, what did you say just now?”An elven elder questioned her under tremendous pressure.

“Don’t be blinded by the glory of the past.”

Aurelian felt a strong sense of shame and anger when she saw the behavior of her own kind after she had gone to Nolan. It was only under the trend of these two emotions that she would say such ‘heinous’words.

In the past, the High Elves were indeed the most powerful race in the world. Whether it was the magic technology or the talent in magic, they were far superior to humans. But now… it was completely different.
