Benjamin exhaled, and the water vapor turned into white mist in the air.
The geographical position here is close to the edge of Daxue Mountain, the straight line distance from the final goal is not far away, and the trees are becoming thinner.
As the altitude rises, the night temperature also hovering around zero, and the hardest part of the journey is about to begin ... Benjamin looked worriedly at the old and young in the team, he did not know what to say, these people have How many people can stick to the end. But already here, the city elves who want to give up have given up long ago, and the rest are people who have to go to the end with their teeth.
At this time, it would only be an insult to say to others, "Will you give up?"
"Elder, child ... The child is ill again." Several city elf women joined the elf elder and said, holding the child in their arms.
In the sight of the people around them, they lowered their heads and made their long ears red, as if they had done something insignificant-in fact, it was just because the temperature was low and the child's physique was so bad. Overnight in the wild, it is a high probability that children get sick.
There is of course no doctor in the city elves. They have to ask the only elder who still retains the elven spells time and time again, but seeing that the elders after treatment are getting weaker and weaker, they are also guilty and want to find a ground drill!
Because it is like forcing elders to save their children with their lives ...
"It's okay, let's take a look ... Oh, isn't this little cutie Kitty? I remember when she was born, I was so noisy every day that I couldn't sleep, the crying was loud ... Come, let me hug Hold Kitty, poor. "The elf elder stood tremblingly and took the child. His hands covered with age spots flicked gently over the swaddle, and a light green radiance spewed out of his hands and penetrated into the child's body. The feverish crying child turned to fall asleep, while the elf elder looked at it and was a bit older.
"Elder!" Someone choked with a sore mouth.
"It's okay, I can't die. How can I die without seeing the land of hope with my own eyes." Although that said, it was the "land of hope" that really relieved him. The old elves who have lived for many years have seen too many human tragedies, so they have a strong resistance to the good things in the sky. Is that really a good place? Whether it is the kingdom of gods created by the gods or the devil's trap is only known when you see it.
After the treatment of the children, it was obviously beyond the scope of the ability at the end, and the elf elders were so weak that they needed to be carried by people on their backs.
...
A few people took turns. When it was Benjamin ’s turn to carry the elders,
Ban, I ’m dragging you on the old bones.
The old man said self-deprecatingly, and Benjamin hurriedly denied it. The old man can say this casually, but as the fifth generation of city elves, Benjamin will be looked down upon by everyone if he accepts it.
As everyone knows, the urban elf race is almost perfect as a population base, but it is not without defects.
Their biggest problem is that the concept of "racism" is deeply ingrained, and even becomes part of the elven culture ... It is not only the moon elves who discriminate against prairie elves, the prairie elves discriminate against sea elves, and all elves discriminate against non-elven races.
Even within the same race, such as moon elves, prairie elves, and city elves, there is still a precise chain of discrimination.
Because of the problem of "ethnic degradation" of urban elves, a discriminatory chain of the first generation discriminating against the second generation and the second generation discriminating against the third generation is formed. Benjamin is the fifth generation, even worse than him ... he is in the middle and lower part of the discrimination chain.
If this "racism" is only as we know it, Shen Yan has prepared the "I have a dream" speech-but the root of this kind of discrimination is that the discriminator thinks it is justified and the discriminated person actually What do you think about it? This is very embarrassing.
Because in the spirit culture, do lions need to be able to look at wolves? Do wolves need to be able to afford jackals? A wild dog's delusion of being with a lion can only be laughed at.
There are flowers first, and fruits later, is this not a natural law?
Spruce is up, shrubs are down, is this not a natural law ...
You say humans? Not following the law, this is the root of human self-contradiction ......
At Shen Yan's level of college students, the elven wise man can make him doubt his life.
But this situation will lead to a serious consequence in the future, that is, when Shen Yan wants to select the leadership, it will inevitably become the noble, the cheap, not the capable, the mediocre! Some people go up by identity rather than ability, which makes Shen Yan very unhappy.
If this problem cannot be solved, he will always hold the power of appointment and removal at the grassroots level.
In order to cut off this inheritance, Shen Yan hardened his heart for the first time, watching these real elf elders die on the road one by one. Because he will never allow this group of people who still remember the elf heritage to become a stumbling block for him to build a new world!

"Banjamin, you ..." The elf elder wanted to say something, but he kept talking.
"Elder, what are you saying?"
"It's okay, if you're tired, just take a break." The elder changed the subject.
"My body is strong! Didn't you say that I'm a troll ... hehe, I'm as strong as a troll!" Benjamin smiled heartily.
The elf elder lying on his back sighed, troll ... Is that a boast? After a long period of observation, he has determined that this child is enthusiastic, helpful, and not disgusting. It can be said to be the best inheritance candidate for this tribal elder.
But Benjamin is only the fifth-generation city elf, and the bloodline on his body has faded into discomfort ... It is difficult to activate without mentioning his talent, and the lifespan is too far away from the first-generation city elf ... Forget it, to Give the child some other comforts, do n’t consider him a candidate.
There are still two days to reach the foot of the Daxue Mountain, and there are more difficult climbing snow mountains in the back. The elf elder knows that he ca n’t hold on ...
"At night, let everyone get together, I have something to tell." The elder commanded, it was time.
"Yes, elder." Benjamin nodded conscientiously, the crystal sweat on his forehead fell, and the elf elder in his eyes sighed again.
...
After dinner in the evening, the crowd gathered around the elves and elders. Everyone knew that the elders would choose the heirs of elf heritage. Although this heir is not necessarily important, but the status in the tribe is still quite high, and the heir has elven spells, which is the only reliance the tribe has today.
So everyone gathered and watched this as the most important thing.
"... Our tribe has lost the inheritance of the elves for too long, and can only use the elven secrets to barely maintain the inheritance. Several of you stand up," the elder elder first said about the importance of inheritance, and personally selected his most from the crowd. The optimistic three elves hesitated and said, "If you think you are confident, you can stand up, it is best not to exceed three ... After all, consider the old man."
There were no words from the onlookers, and the three selected were looking around proudly, obviously not wanting someone to stand up with them at this time.
It took a long time before an elf woman squeezed into the crowd with a half-old child, "Elder, you have always liked little Enid, would you like her to try it?" In the future, as a mother, she can't take care of others.
The elf elder hesitated for a while, and no one stood up and nodded. I decided in my heart that I would never choose this child-the reason is very simple, now is the moment when the tribe is facing the most dangerous and the most opportunity, it can be said that step by step hell! What is needed at this time is a mature heir who can help the tribe, not a child who still needs to be nurtured.
The woman who could not see the elder elder's thoughts left happily, leaving the children in the circle.
"Is there no one?" The elf elder looked around disappointedly. But I do not know because the three candidates he points out in succession are all second or third generation, who would dare to stand up at this time? Seeing that he was about to announce the end of the candidate selection, Benjamin suddenly took two steps forward and walked into the circle!
"Banjamin !?" The elder looked at him in surprise and joy. He had never thought of choosing Benjamin, but he liked the young man with a simple personality. "Okay, Benjamin is a good kid, and he's one of you!"
"No ..." Benjamin shut his mouth obediently, but he just wanted to find a ground seam to drill in ... who just pushed me in the back just now!
He had just wanted to withdraw just now, but he saw the questioning eyes of those around him and the contempt in those three people's eyes ... Suddenly he wanted to stay again!
It won't die if I try, what a shame ... I have lost it for twenty years.
