Book 5: Chapter 69
The ancestors of the elves were nomadic people. The world was devastated and the clan was on the verge of death.
It was the Life Dragon Kurtus Vita who saved them.
The dragon bestowed the elves with a forest. The forest brought a dwelling place and food to the elves, and repelled foreign enemies who tried to invade.
Kurtus Vita continued to preserve the forest, but despite the increasing number and prosperity of the elves, the dragon grew weak. As he weakened, the forest’s ability to repel foreign enemies weakened, but at that time the elves had grown strong enough to defend themselves.
It was their turn to help Kurtus Vita—the King of the elves, a High Elf, supplied mana to Kurtus Vita by singing the Chant.
Kurtus Vita fell asleep for a long time, but trees grew where he slept, and now it has grown into such a giant tree.
That is what Yuri-san said.
「We don’t know what kind of state Kurtus Vita is in anymore, but if there is a tree here that is connected to Kurtus Vita and it can provide mana to the saviour of our clan who is sleeping underground, then it is our duty to continue to offer the Chant to them, right?」
So that is the duty of the High Elf royal family, huh.
