What did you do with the dice?

Suarez's policy to deal with the declining birth rate of the elves was to order the distribution of male elves like Michelle and exchange them according to their contribution, meaning that they could be bred for the future and reproduction of the elves.

Michel was also disappointing. As one of the fifth elders and the representative of male elves, he actually took the lead in surrendering in the face of Suarez's ridiculous order. He ignored the protests of his compatriots and directly expressed his willingness to obey all the arrangements of the Queen.

As he bent his knees and knelt, all the male elves in the Elf Forest lost their backbone, which further caused the status of those new and old male elves to decline again.

Male elves aren't pushovers. They're elves too, and they have pride too: "Gender aside, I'm a noble, pure-blooded elf. I'm working my ass off to be a star for you, a bunch of self-important bastards." Do I have to be like Michelle, a half-and-half, selling my body to get ahead? Crawl! I'd rather die than surrender. If I can't beat them, can I hide?

So they fled again, and without harming their compatriots, even a ranger couldn't stop a pure-blooded elf who only wanted to escape.

After Maggie finished the experiment, she found that there were not many pure-blooded male elves left in the Elf Forest. Instead, a lot of half-blood elves who couldn't make it outside had flooded into the Elf Forest. She was dumbfounded.

At this time, Huafalin stood up and believed that the current situation was caused by the lack of excellence of the male elves. Because you see, the first time, the excellent ones stayed and did not run away at all.

This problem could be solved by gathering more vitality. As for how to gather it, Maggie's research provided the best answer—open the demon gate, eliminate the other races, and let the World Tree absorb them fully. This way, the next males born would surely be superior.

This is the classic survivor bias: when fighter jets return, they find that the places where they were hit the most are not actually the most lethal places, because if they hit the most lethal places, they can't return.

The males escaped, leaving only the best ones, but the environment of the Elf Forest did not improve. This means that the quality of the males themselves is not the key to the problem.

But it was obvious that there were no experts in the elves who knew how to think in reverse, and Huafalin was a representative of them. She only wanted to focus on reinforcing the parts that were hit the most by bullets.

Rusalka: "So, Suarez still thinks that those male elves who escaped weren't trying hard enough?"

When Maggie heard Rusalka say this, she was embarrassed and looked ashamed.

She had always been focused on her research. Therefore, she wasn't tainted by the outside world's customs and remained a traditional, responsible elf. She felt a bit guilty about her inaction as the Second Elder. "Don't say it, don't say it. Her Majesty has her own difficulties. This matter is over. What else can we do?"

Can you blame Suarez? From the perspective of the time traveler, it was definitely her fault. Why didn't she stop this absurd thing from the beginning? She was the sole authority in the Elf Forest. What could she not do?

The elves have been living in peace for too long and their brains have gone crazy. They are bored and have to find a target to attack to relieve their boredom and feel superior. It is understandable. This is the current situation of the Internet on Earth and an inevitable contradiction in development.

But as the ruler of a nation and the head of a race, she didn't use her authority to correct this bad habit. Instead, she followed suit and continued to do so. She would definitely be blamed for everything.

But from the elves' perspective, Suarez is indeed trying to find a way to save the situation. She even contributed her husband, Michelle, the best male elf in the Elf Forest. So what else can the elves say about her?

Rusalka loved eating this kind of heaven-defying melon. She laughed and asked Alice, "So your father also went out to seek refuge?"

Alice ate the cakes she brought with her, shook her head, and said proudly, "My father didn't need to seek refuge. He refused the Queen's order on the spot and ran away to fulfill his great dream. But I think he should be back soon."

Rusalka couldn't help laughing, holding her belly. "It's okay, it's okay. I understand. When I get back, I'll immediately use my connections to find your father. He wants to attend your wedding."

Ailila was relatively lucky. She and her husband were traditionalists, as she had said before. If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to give Alizee a good living and growth environment, they actually didn't want to live in the World Tree.

What to do? Even Sanita recognizes the education and training system of the Elf Forest. We can't just give birth to an elf and run to humans to take a gamble. The possibility of meeting a good teacher is too low.

Sanitta sighed. He had never had any expectations for the elves. He thought that what was recorded in the book was exaggerated. He didn't expect that it was still conservative when facing reality. It was not that there were not many male elves. He had clearly not seen many males along the way, including at the election ceremony.

"But the reason I'm willing to open my heart is because I know you two aren't actually from the Eternal Plane. Perhaps there's no competition between us for the survival of our species," Maggie said. "Because you don't have life force in your bodies."

Rusalka was convinced. This little scientist not only saw that they were not locals, but also that Sanita and herself had no plans to continue developing in this world. Even Phoenix and Hydra were unsure about this. She had hit the nail on the head: (Hi! All right!)

Sanitita frowned, and the urge to silence him arose.

He had thought Maggie knew a lot, so he was very happy.

But now that he found out that Maggie knew too much, he was a little unhappy.

Alice next to her: "Ah? Really?"

Rusalka: "I'm actually a mermaid who happily swims back and forth between the graveyard and the deck every day. Until one day, I was sucked into the extra zone by the evil giant spaceman and the dimensional rift, and fell into this world. I can never return to the warm graveyard. V me 50 for travel expenses home, and I'll also give you a Pearl Tear entry when I return."

Sanita: (You're repaying kindness with enmity, sending someone to the banned list, right?)

Rusalka laughed.

Alijie and Sana, those two idiots, didn't seem to care about it. They just said "oh" and nothing more, acting like they were following the same old idiots.

You know, when Phoenix found out about this, she and Rusalka had a whole day of arguments. This shows that sometimes it is good to empty your mind and not think.

April bounty launch (visible after refreshing)

Oops, I didn't feel well after returning home yesterday. Maybe it was too cold outside and I caught a cold, which is why I didn't update properly. But luckily I still have some drafts saved, so I'll offer a reward to motivate myself.

As before, this bounty will last for the entire month of April, starting at 6:00 AM on Hedgehog Cat Classic (it could also be 0:00, anyway, my backend will display it every day)

The rules are as follows:

Every 10000 points = 1000 words.

Monthly ticket = 50 points, recommendation ticket = 2 points, reward 1 point = 1 point, blade = 100 points.

I will record and update the total points in this chapter every day.

Current total reward: 531470

Current total amount added: 340000

-

Frog, how come you owe so much in just three days?

Bush Gomen, you don't need the treasure chest, keep it for yourself and eat it better. The hedgehog cat looks more miserable than me.

But I still want to thank all the readers who are willing to support me by opening the treasure chest. I put it here to show my gratitude.

Chapter 461 Baptism Ceremony

Sanitita thought about it, and his admiration for talent outweighed his murderous intent. After all, Maggie was the only top researcher in the world known to have discovered life force on her own. If her research could be thoroughly proven, and life force could be widely applied, she would be the undisputed Edison of the Eternal Plane.

Rusalka: (I know Edison, the one who invented the light bulb

If she's not Edison the Elf, how can Vadasi observe the experiment I want to do?

Sanita knew that the invention Rusalka was talking about was definitely not life force, but a very simple light bulb: (What experiment do you want to do with the light bulb? Fight lightning?)

Rusalka: (I wanted to see if I could put a light bulb in a cat's mouth and see if she could get it out herself.)

If Edison knew that his invention was used in this way by Rusalka, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave.

Sanita: "The Elf Forest is a bit undervalued for you."

After hearing what Sanita said, Maggie pricked up her ears alertly: "What do you want to do?"

Rusalka chuckled and said, "Little Maggie, do you want to see your uncle Sanita's huge wizard tower? It will be so cool once you go in, you won't be able to leave."

His words were so rude that even Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore. Tentacles emerged from the shadows and physically sealed his mouth. Now he was hit by both the Silence Spell and Phoenix's Silence Spell, and the Eel Transformer, who could only remove one of them, couldn't do it.

After a moment of silence between Sanitita and Maggie, he spoke first, "I'll provide you with a complete experimental environment. After all, humans can legally kill people here, and there are death row prisoners everywhere. Plus, you don't need to worry about anything."

Maggie shook her head. "I won't cooperate with humans. Warfarin used my invention to incite the elves to go to war with the outside world, which went against my original intention. Now that she's dead, I can't repeat the same mistake. I'm telling you this because you don't represent any particular race. You probably only work for yourselves, or perhaps you're messengers of the gods, unfettered by this world."

She walked over to a large jar and said to Sanitta, "No two leaves in the world are alike, nor are any two leaves alike in vitality. Suarez has bound her life to the World Tree and assimilated it, allowing them to replicate and be reborn after death. This proves that my idea is correct."

Oh, no wonder there is no trace of magic and no spellcasting process. It turns out that Suarez’s resurrection was to directly “copy” herself.

She had probably already abandoned her original body and transformed into a part of the World Tree itself, whose roots spread across the world. It gave her a sense of "mechanical ascension" in a fantasy style, so Rusalka decided to call it natural ascension.

Rusalka: (So is she an elf or a tree spirit now?)

Although he was muted, he could still speak freely in the private chat channel. If Sanitieta had any magic he wanted to develop since developing the Fishy Happy Sister barrier, then being able to mute Rusalka in the private chat channel was his top wish.

Sanita also replied in the private chat channel: (It's hard to say. This is beyond my knowledge. Race and life form in this world seem to be two different things. Perhaps she is a new life form born in the world. Just like fairies and elves are both elves, but there is still a slight difference in bloodline.)

Rusalka: (If it's a tree spirit, it'll be difficult. We'll have to use necromancy to awaken the corpse before we can deal with her.)

Sanitieta was surprised to hear Rusalka utter some of this world's mage jargon. Could he have heard some unofficial history from somewhere? (Hmm? Why is there a restraining relationship between necromancy and vitality? Is this some ancient or folk academic view?)

Rusalka: (Yes, the "I am a Zombie" mini-game in Plants vs. Zombies, which proves that zombies can also defeat plants.)

Sanita: (Damn it, I shouldn't have expected anything from you.)

Maggie looked at the spirit form floating in the jar. "If I can observe and restore that unique life force, I can perfectly resurrect a specific person. My original intention in studying life force was to find a way to 'fix and shape it' so that I can resurrect my friend."

"Perhaps I'm still hoping you can provide me with help and answers for my research, because I've reached a bottleneck."

"Of course, I also want to use this opportunity to revive the World Tree and make the elves great again. But it must not be based on plunder, otherwise its creation will inevitably lead to a second War of Faith. If that happens, I would rather be buried deep under a beautiful ginkgo tree along with my research."

Since the elves have a custom of burying their dead under trees, and most elves like ginkgo trees, over time, ginkgo trees have become a synonym for "grave" in the elf dictionary.

Rusalka was still in the muted state. He squatted down and begged Phoenix with pleading eyes to release him. Phoenix softened her heart and withdrew the power of shadow.

Without the mute restriction, he immediately became lively and jumped in front of the jar where the corpse was soaked. "Ms. Maggie, you don't want your friend's corpse to resurrect in front of you, do you?"

Maggie: ?

Rusalka pouted and amended her words, "Sorry for the slip of the tongue, but you wouldn't want our Grand Mage Sanita to use his 'Reanimated Corpse' to pull your friend's corpse back to life, would you?"

Maggie had also heard that the human school of necromancy could desecrate corpses, so she was a little scared.

She was not afraid of her friend's body being destroyed by Rusalka. After all, according to the theory of life, the body is a shell attached to the vitality, and destroying the shell is not a big deal. She had already recorded all the data in the world like Suarez.

It is in the memory of the World Tree. It is placed here just for remembrance and commemoration. If it is gone, it can be recreated at any time.

But she was really afraid of Rusalka. This guy was such a fool. He was not a human being at all. Who knew if he would control the moving corpses to do something "desecrating corpses"? She would really collapse if that happened.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Taking advantage of Rusalka's successful "intimidation," Sanita replied before he could utter any outrageous words: "Take me to see Elune again."

"Lady Elune, the Moon Goddess?"

"correct."

"It's a little difficult to meet her, but if you can complete Her Majesty the Queen's mission, you might be able to meet her at the coronation ceremony."

Sanitta heard the uncertainty in Maggie's words: "Is there a more direct, faster and 100% sure way to see it?"

Maggie hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a magnifying glass from the drawer. She peered through the mirror and repeatedly observed the Sani Tower. Then she said, "You are indeed half elf. I think there is a way to reliably see Lady Elune. But unfortunately, you are a follower of the Supreme Mage. The power of Lady Elune's faith in me is repelling the strong power of the Supreme Mage's faith in you. The Supreme Mage and Lady Elune have a bad relationship. There is nothing I can do."

Yeah? Everyone knew the gods knew each other. But the relationship between Elune and the Archmage was bad. Rusalka had heard about this somewhere before.

Sanita: "Oh, Rusalka, stay away from me."

Rusalka obediently retreated to the door. "Aba, is that far enough? Now, before you start, let me get you a big white steamed bun. I've been having a 'cloud cough' lately. People say it's a cyber respiratory disease. If I dip a big white steamed bun in elf blood and eat it, it will cure my tracheitis. Wrap it up."

Sanitta ignored Rusalka and turned to ask Maggie: "What about now? Do you still feel repulsed?"

Maggie was stunned. Looking at Rusalka, she immediately guessed the truth: "Huh? The Supreme Lord of Arcane's blessing is for him? Why?"

Isn't Sanita the wizard?

Of course, she had heard of Rusalka, the Paladin who killed Warfarin. But she had never heard of the Supreme of Arcane recruiting a Paladin. Wasn't he a follower of the God of Light?

Rusalka immediately noticed the questioning look in her eyes, and waved her fists and bared her teeth, saying, "What's wrong? Are you looking down on me? Can't I just be the chief disciple of the Supreme Lord of Arcane? Melee magic is still magic. Is there any magic in the world more powerful and simple than my Holy Slash?"

Well, while Maggie was surprised, she also found it reasonable. Thinking carefully, how could someone like Rusalka be worthy of being a Wright follower? The aura she exuded was completely incompatible with the elves, reminiscent of a cross between the Supreme Mage and Elune.

"Well, I can tell you the method, but it requires Her Majesty Suarez's approval." Maggie took a deep breath and said to Sanita, "If you are not afraid of accidents and want to ensure that you can see Lady Elune, you must go to the World Tree to undergo the Baptism of Life Ceremony."

Rusalka: (This sounds dangerous, brother. She seems to want you to take a hot bath in the Tree of Life concentration camp.)

Sunita: (Can you please shut up? That was indeed one of my original intentions, and now I can kill two birds with one stone.)

Maggie also frankly acknowledged the risks: "But the baptism ceremony uses vitality to transform the elves' innate bloodline. It is equivalent to optimizing their vitality according to the blessing of Lady Elune, so that the flesh is transformed and purified."

"It's just that there's no life force in either of you, but your body actually exists. That's a miracle in itself. Asking the goddess Elune to help you transform something that doesn't exist, what kind of consequences will this bring? I can't imagine."

She thought for a moment, then added with a twinkle in her eyes, "But if you still insist on trying, can I watch?"

She said it was risky and seemed to be dissuading Sanita from doing this, but her body was honest and she still wanted to study the existence of Sanita and Rusalka.

If it weren't for the fact that the fighting abilities of these two men were stronger than each other, she would have probably taken action long ago.

Sanita finally decided to take the risk. After all, he had his reasons for having to see Elune. It was impossible to be absolutely safe in matters related to the gods. He could only hope that if any emergency occurred, his legendary move "Castling" could take effect in the World Tree.

If you want to enter the World Tree, you still need Suarez's approval. Currently, she is the only fairy in the Elf Forest who can communicate with the World Tree.

Sanitita decided to go back for dinner and invite Maggie along. After all, she would be needed to help persuade Suarez.

Ailila went back early to prepare dinner. She was surprised that Maggie, the elder who lived on the second floor of the World Tree, came to visit on the fifth floor. She was also indifferent to the fact that Alice had become a candidate for the grand elder. Too many things had happened in the past few days, and she needed some time to digest it.

As she served herself some rice, she complained, "Oh, there have been so many changes. It's completely impossible to think. If only your father were still here."

Rusalka raised her chopsticks and said, "I think we should add the word 'home' after 'in'. Otherwise it's a bit unlucky. I have a friend who I'd really like to meet."

His old man's."

Sanita: "Eating can't stop your mouth?"

After dinner, it only took four hours to complete the long rest of the Sanita Tower. After recovering the ring position and magic power, he said that he only needed to take Maggie to find Suarez.
