Book 9: Chapter 40
“You’re saying that your race’s power was required to survive in the North?”
I looked at the ears moving back and forth in front of me. I was a little reluctant to believe that the young girl was the saviour of the entire North, or otherwise, the sun of the entire North.
The environment in the North is incomparably harsh precisely because the mana spring doesn’t reach them anymore. However, Ling Yue’s race used their own powers to allow the races in the North to survive. No, no, no, I made a mistake there, allow me to correct myself. Ling Yue’s Moon Fox tribe used their mana to sustain the environment in a way that would allow the elves exiled there to survive.
“That’s right. We were there in the North to begin with. At the time, our race ruled the North and the anthropoids weren’t the way they are now. We had our own culture and civilisation. In fact, we weren’t too far behind you. Afterwards, the anthropoids were impacted by the environment in the North. As a result, our family offered our mana, sacrificing our lives to warm up the North. That allowed the surviving anthropoids and exiled elves to survive. Although it became considerably more difficult, we did survive, fortunately.”
Ling Yue retold her race’s past with pride, which was reflected by her ears twitching with excitement.
“So, who rules the North now?”
“An elf rules as the Queen. With that said, the elves in the North are no longer like you anymore. Their skin is slightly whiter than yours. Their ears are long, while you no longer have the long ears of elves.”
“Wait… wait… let’s put the ears matter aside for now… I want to know why an elf rules, when your race maintained the entire North.”
“Because the elves performed very well when they first joined our alliance with the anthropoids. At the time, the elves’ ruler was very wise. Though we could maintain the North, it was the leader of the elves that came up with the suggestions to lay the foundations for the survival of the anthropoids, as well as the future. As such, we pledged our allegiance to them. Our relationship with the elves at the time was also very good. We are where we are now thanks to our determination and unity during the toughest era.”
