Chapter 490: A New Race of Elves

Chapter 483 – A New Elven Race
After completing the preliminary census, even though he had prepared himself mentally, Andromeda’s heart was still filled with sadness, one could even say despair.

In the heyday of the Kingdom of Light Elves, the population exceeded thirty million, although most of them were half-elves and wood elves, the High Elves still exceeded one million, which was the thing that made the royal family the most proud.

However, after the Armageddon and the Abyss, only 23,000 elves have survived, most of them are still old and weak with little fighting ability, and only 3,000 are young and strong.

With the fertility of the elves, especially the high elves, this has almost stepped on the edge of extinction, after all, the elves suitable for childbearing is only three thousand out, even if nothing, full reproduction of offspring, at best to maintain the number will not fall too much, because the rest of the population is all old and weak, will die out with time.

Therefore, if you want the population to grow, you need at least a thousand years, and during this period, you can’t experience any wars or disasters that deplete the population.

This is already a whimsical idea, what is even more fatal is that because of staying in the abyss for too long, coupled with the disappearance of the divine barrier at the time of the collision, all the elves were exposed to the abyss, more or less infected with the aura of the abyss, and even being eroded by the power of the abyss, the serious ones have already grown horns and tails, and for those who have lighter symptoms, the pupils and the skin change color, the fingernails and teeth become sharp, and they become even more irritable and easy to be angry and so on. It is very obvious.

Now Andromeda wasn’t sure if this state would be passed on to future generations, and if so, were they still elves?
If not, then what were they? Elves? Demons? Or monsters.

Andromeda, as the Queen, had to think more holistically, so she needed to find her own niche before she could talk about development.

For example, she knew that there were elves in this world, so lowering her position to integrate into it was also in her consideration, but their current mutated appearance obviously cut off this idea, because the elves wouldn’t accept such a so-called kind, and neither would they in their place, that’s the reality.

And with the dangerous land of the Abyss out there, and a completely alien world further away, where could they go?
Overall, the only place that could hold them at the moment was the place at hand, the garden of a demon lord.

What a sad thing for the Elven Kingdom.

Andromeda sighed, picked up the broth in front of him and drank it all in one go, feeling the restoration of his energy, he couldn’t help but be thankful that he had met this particular Demon Lord, the Lord of the Garden, not only was his personality peaceful and not demonic, but the broth potion he provided was really effective, not only did it allow the wounded elves to be healed, but it also restored the peace of mind of some of those who had been severely mutated, or else he would have had no choice but to kill these compatriots that were about to go out of control, which would have add to the already small population.

It is important to realize that the elves with severe mutations are mostly the strong elves on the front line, they are the only elves in Andromeda’s hands that still have fighting strength, once they lose them, the so-called elven kingdom is no different from a piece of meat thrown into the wild.

In addition to these troubles, other aspects are not optimistic, for example, they have lost everything, the world they are in, the country they created, the city they are proud of, the inheritance they are proud of, now they only have a few weapons in their hands, and not even decent tools, and not enough food, and they have even lost most of the books and inheritance.

Under these circumstances, the elves, who had long been used to a leisurely life, could only learn how to survive in the wild from the jungle goddess, such as sleeping in the trees and searching for edible fruits, mushrooms, and roots.

The only good thing is that the environment here is very good, very suitable for elves, and also very safe, those green demons will sometimes send some fruits and mushrooms, at least now they can survive, which is the most fortunate thing.

Unconsciously several busy days passed, the long missing Asali came from outside with a somewhat grimy face, Andromeda immediately put down the things that needed to be dealt with in her hands, and waited silently for her to speak.

“The situation isn’t very good, nearby is the land of the abyss, or rather we are now within the boundaries of the land of the abyss, except that this place is very peculiar, converting the power of the abyss into the power of nature and life, which is why those demons are so strange, so for the time being, we don’t need to worry about being affected by the power of the abyss.” Asali’s stone spear was stained with the blood of the demons, obviously she had clashed with the demons of the Abyssal Land while exploring, in fact, if not for the fact that those demons didn’t dare to come close to the confines of the garden so easily, she wouldn’t be able to get out of it so easily. “The other direction is out of range of the Abyssal Lands but the situation isn’t much better, the plants are twisted by the leaking Abyssal aura and the animals have all gone mad, the intelligent beings are now feverishly performing blood sacrifice rituals to summon demons, any life is a target for their hunt and sacrifice.” Asali was disgusted by this, but could do nothing about it, as the ripple effect was too great.

“That means we’ll just have to stay here.” Andromeda spoke full of fatigue, anticipating it but ultimately not hearing the conclusion straight away.

“Right, to put it bluntly, right now we’re relying on whichever Garden Lord is sheltering us, otherwise continued attrition is already the best possible outcome, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we’re directly exterminated.” Although Asha Li was a demigod, but because of the relationship of the Morning Glory Goddess, she had not been restored, her current strength to fight Legends was still manageable, sheltering more than 20,000 elves was simply taking a joke with her life.

Andromeda was silent for a moment before accepting this early reality and then spoke.

“What do you think about the demons here, and the Garden Lord?”

“It’s amazing, those so called garden demons are like a mix of creatures and plants, I’ve never seen a demon that smells like plants and rotting plants, and for that reason they don’t suffer much from that part of the demonic side of the world, they can stare at one all day long and be happy with the sound of it if they don’t bother it, that kind of character is a bit too much for even an elf to handle. ” Asali said with a wave of her hand, obviously she hadn’t observed the garden demons much.

“As for the Garden Lord, I think he’s more of a disguise for a certain nature-based god or goddess, since what he’s doing looks like he’s devouring the Abyssal Lands.” Asali knew very well what the Abyssal Lands looked like, and even more so the changes that the Gardens had made to the Abyssal Lands, and thus spoke.

Seeing Andromeda in deep thought, Ashaeli sighed and spoke.

“Actually, you don’t need to think so much.”

“Yeah.” Andromeda said with a long breath.

They didn’t really have a choice, did they?
As outsiders and with demonic mutated looks, where could they go?
Even if they defected to the other forces in this world, their fate would not be much better than falling into the hands of demons, after all, they just had more demonic features, not uglier, but more alien and attractive due to the mutation.

In addition, the mutation also enhanced their potential and strength, at least in melee combat, not a little bit stronger than before.

“Maybe we can become a new race of elves.” Asali said to Andromeda.

Andromeda’s eyes suddenly lit up, maybe she was too fixated on the past afterglow of the Elven Kingdom of Light, why couldn’t she look forward, like establishing a new Elven Kingdom.

And she wasn’t the only one who was worried about the mutation, the elves who were still alive were also under great pressure, and establishing a new elven kingdom and becoming a new branch of elves was nothing less than the best way to recast her confidence.
