Chapter 254 We Don't Want to Go Home

Thousands of elves passed the outpost, leaped over the outskirts of the forest, and then landed near the city gate.

After landing, Jia Zhengjin asked the fake dragon to return to the mine where he was stationed to rest. Luluto, the giant bee who had been driving the elves hard for the past few days, also let them return to the hive.

The city gate opened.

Dolma, Alvin, Buddy, Worf, Karl, Vera, Leo, Miko, Rabbi, and Amber greeted them side by side, and the kobold troops, town guard troops, city guard troops, and new crossbowmen were lined up On both sides, more villagers waited and watched from behind the city walls and the army.

Jia Zhengjin brought thousands of elves into the city, and there were curious eyes and discussions about elves everywhere.

The race of elves is not very common, let alone thousands of them come at once?

After going out for only six or seven days, Jia Zhengjin found that the city had changed a lot.

The first is the city defense. A lot of arrow towers have been built near the gates of the outer city, and most of them have been upgraded to level six or seven. It seems that after I left, they have been carrying out the order!

Secondly, the originally empty area of ​​the outer city has now been occupied by densely packed stone houses of simple residents.

"Master Keen!" Dolma came over and explained, "After the family members of the city guards are brought back, a large number of residential houses will be needed. In addition, there will be a group of soldiers from Manjiaer City later, so we let the kobold artisans use the best At a faster rate, more places to live are being built.”

"En!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Let the kobold craftsmen make more, and these elves will live here tonight! The number of people that can live in the Fairy Garden is limited, and it is impossible to arrange them all!"

"You can rest assured!" Zhuoma replied, "We have been expanding the residential area during this period, and now there are enough vacant houses. Even if there are three or four thousand people, we can still live there! And we continue to add more stone houses every day. , is to consider this situation!"

Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment, and thought that the residential area should be enough, so what is the purpose of building so many? But he didn't say it in person, just nodded: "Okay, you take someone to arrange these elves! Also, tomorrow I will send someone to escort them back to the forest of elves..."

"Master Keen!" Before he finished speaking, an elf suddenly walked out from the crowd, "I have no face and return to the forest of elves, and there is no way to return to that pure world! You are my savior, and you are the one who brought me My savior from the sea of ​​misery. I beg you, let me stay in your city!"

"Philip, are you crazy?" Xian Jier's face changed immediately when he heard this, "Without the blessing of the tree of life, your life span is only 1,000 years at most! You are 527 years old, which means you can only live for 1,000 years at most! Just live for another 400 years!"

Under the blessing of the tree of life, the elves are basically immortal. But once they leave the tree of life, their lifespan is only 1000 years old at most!

The problem is, Jia Zhengjin wanted to scold his mother after hearing this.

Can only live up to 400 years old? are you kidding me? You think 400 years is very short, have you considered us humans? Why are we human beings living long lives after a hundred years? According to you, we must not cry to death?

"Your Royal Highness!" The elf named Philip looked back at Xianjier, "You can't understand my current mood. During the period of being enslaved by those human nobles, I lived a life that was worse than death every day! Don't say 400 years, even 4 days, is extremely tormenting and extremely long for me! After experiencing so many things, I can never return to my original heart and become the pure elf before. I can’t return to the elf Zhisen, I can't face those pure clansmen. Please forgive my selfishness!"

"Philip..." Sanjill wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.

Jia Zhengjin felt that the elf's thoughts were normal. He probably felt ashamed to go back and face his clansmen. After all, when they were treated as slaves, they suffered all kinds of humiliation. Not to mention them, anyone with a bit of self-esteem and shame would be afraid to go back. So for this elf's request,

He agreed without thinking about it: "If you want to stay voluntarily, of course I won't refuse! But if you stay in my city, you are my citizens. You must abide by my laws here and obey my orders! "

"It's as it should be!" Philip nodded immediately.

"Okay then!" Seeing this situation, Xianjier nodded helplessly, "Philip, since this is your decision, I respect you! I will bring others back to the forest of elves tomorrow. If you have figured it out by then, you can Come talk to me!"

"His Royal Highness!" But as soon as she finished speaking, several elves came out again.

Xian Jier turned his head away with a puzzled look on his face.

These elves looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, one of the women said: "Princess, please forgive me! In fact... we have already discussed it in secret on the way back. Everyone here has been reduced to slavery." Humiliated. Just like Philip, we are all afraid to return to the forest of elves, afraid to face the strange eyes of the people!"

"How could it be?" Xian Jier said hastily.

"Your Royal Highness," said the female elf, "there have been elves who were treated as slaves by humans or other races and returned to the clan. We have seen with our own eyes the people's indifference, indifference and disgust towards them! In fact, at that time I am also a member of the No. 1 Middle School. Although you did not discriminate against us, princess, you even treated us better than before. But we know that our ethnic group dislikes unclean things the most! And now we belong to One of them! We don’t want to be like those who returned to the clan and live forever under the discrimination of others. So Your Royal Highness, please forgive us! Although you came to rescue us in person without fear of danger. However, we Everyone doesn't want to go back to the forest of elves, and would rather spend their lives quietly in a strange place! Please forgive our selfish behavior!"

"What, what..." Xian Jier was stunned, "Aren't you leaving? Listen to me, although discrimination does exist. But there are still many companions waiting for you to go home! Don't be impulsive, think carefully Say it clearly..."

"Your Royal Highness!" Philip stepped forward, looked at her and sighed, "This was decided after discussion among all of us, and we did not act impulsively. Please forgive us and let us act according to our wishes!"

"This... as a princess, I will let the clansmen treat everyone well! So please don't give up on yourself. You are outside, and there is no end to your life without the blessing of the tree of life! Calm down and go home with me, okay?" ?” Xian Jier was a little anxious.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness! But we have all made up our minds!" Philip knelt down on one knee, "I beg your forgiveness!"

"Wow!" Although the other elves didn't speak, they all followed Philip and knelt down to Xianjier.
