After winter came, the elves of the Ancient Forest, led by the Elf Queen Avilia, completed the ceremony of worshiping the God of Nature.

Although most elves are not affected by the cold winter temperatures, because legend has it that winter is the season for the gods of nature to rest, the elves follow their beliefs and turn on energy-saving mode in winter.

"It seems that humans are going to fight again."

After the sacrifice, the Elf Queen and the elders began their regular meeting of each season, and the theme of this meeting was undoubtedly the elves' neighbors for thousands of years.

"The Ancient Forest is resting along with the God of Nature in the winter. I think we can send more rangers to the border to monitor human activities."

When the elf elder said this, the elders who also had big beards nodded.

This happens to humans every few hundred years anyway, and the elders are used to it.

But this meeting was a little different. Although the elves' princess Tia might have to wait hundreds of years before she could take over her mother's duties from a human perspective, she could now start participating in politics.

This time, Tia brought some very young elves to participate in the meeting.

"They are just some humans. Why should we just defend our borders? I think we can send some elves to the humans, not only to obtain intelligence, but also to prepare for the future."

As soon as Tia's words came out, they were immediately recognized by the young elves present. The elves have been closed to the outside world for too long. Although the legend of the Goger Empire is still circulating on the continent, the number of elves traveling outside is too small after all.

Young elves are more eager to see the outside world.

He originally thought that his proposal would be opposed by a group of old pedants, just like in the knight novels he had secretly read, but he did not expect that the elf elders would smile knowingly.

"Avila, this little girl looks exactly like you when you were young."

The Elf Queen's crystal-clear face immediately turned red, and she interrupted, "Elder, this has nothing to do with the topic of this meeting."

"How is it irrelevant? Didn't you also clamor to go to the Roman Empire at that time, saying that the Roman Empire was nothing special? As a result, you were almost kidnapped by the prince of that Empire. It was His Majesty Ivis who pulled you back by your ears."

The elders started chatting one after another, gossiping about things that happened thousands of years ago, and the meeting room suddenly turned into the Lao Deng Tavern.

The young elves' pupils trembled as they listened to the gossip about Her Majesty the Queen. Tia looked at her mother in shock.

Evelya had no choice but to knock the ground with the scepter in her hand, and the elf elders finally quieted down.

"So what do you elders think of Tia's proposal?"

As soon as Ivilia finished speaking, an elder took out a small note and read from it: "I think that contact with humans can not only improve our magic level, but also help us know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can fight a hundred battles without danger. In order to better deal with the threats brought by the expansion of the human empire in the future, I propose to send the elven princess to the Royal Academy of the Roma Empire as an exchange student for further study."

The young elves were still wondering why the elves should learn magic from humans, but Evelylia had already recognized that this was the opinion she had put forward thousands of years ago.

boom!boom!

Two loud knocks interrupted the sound of the elf elder reciting the little note.

"Almost got it."

Avila warned.

Seeing the ashamed and angry Avila, the elders put away their thoughts and replied seriously: "Your Highness's proposal is not unreasonable. Now is different from a thousand years ago. Humanity has reached a critical point that determines their fate."

"In order to maintain our historical relationship with humans, I think we should indeed reach out to the various forces of today's humans."

At this time, Dia, who had finally come to her senses from her mother's dark history, asked, "Why do we still have to maintain the previous relationship with humans? I think our Goger Empire, as the only empire on the continent, can definitely go further!"

The elders shook their heads. The elder who had held the small note stood up and asked, "Princess, do you know how many races and countries there were on the continent?"

The elder closed his eyes and said as if recalling: "Sand monsters, dog-headed people, snake monsters, lizardmen, scale insects, primitive orcs..."

Another elder also took out a thick book, opened the index, and said with the previous elder: "Aeseron, Ferrell, Telros, Mountain Kingdom, Soren, Jimgis."

"What are these?"

Tia was a little confused.

"These are the races and nations that have been wiped out by humans throughout the history of elven records."

Avila explained.

"Thousands of years ago, humans still collectively referred to us as 'subhumans'. In the eyes of humans at that time, we were just a subspecies of humans. But because we were subhumans and very similar to humans, humans had always maintained a friendly attitude towards the subhuman race."

"As for races that are unfriendly to humans..."

Avila glanced at the thick book in the elf elder's hand.

“It’s okay to be unfriendly.”

One of the oldest elf elders said, "When the continent was still in chaos, the human envoys loved to point their fingers at the king and curse him. If the king was angry and executed the human envoy, the human army would immediately rush over from behind."

"Isn't this just hooliganism?" Tia and the young elves complained while listening to these ancient secrets.

"How do you think humans got such a large and rich territory?"

"If humans hadn't created a shackle called morality, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many races left on the continent now."

Finally, Avila ended the topic and concluded, "Humans have a poor memory. After all, they are not immortal. The next generation may forget the things of the previous generation after a hundred or two hundred years. But humans have a good memory. On the continent, humans are the first race to start recording history. In human poetry, there are even records of past events tens of millions of years ago."

"So we should still keep our distance from humans as before, but we must have a deep enough understanding of them. I think Tia's proposal is feasible. We should indeed send more elves to the human kingdom."

The elders nodded one after another, approving Ivilia's proposal, and some elders even began to draft the charter on the spot.

Tia just watched in confusion as her proposal was passed. The young elves looked at each other in confusion, but were also somewhat excited, and discussed which human country they should go to after leaving the Ancient Forest.

After the meeting, an elf elder came to Tia and asked her which human country she wanted to go to.

"Probably Anjou. I heard it's the most powerful kingdom among human beings now."

"Well, Anjou is good. The new king there is ambitious and enterprising. It is much better than the decadent Capetian Kingdom."

As the elf elder was speaking, he "accidentally" dropped a letter from his sleeve in front of Tia, and then walked away as if he hadn't seen it.

Tia felt a little strange and called the elder several times with the letter, but the elder pretended to be old and didn't hear her. But when Tia saw the name on the envelope, he immediately hid the letter in his arms.

This is a love letter written by the fourth prince Rawl to the elf princess Evelynia during the old human empire.
