"A long time ago, there was once a hopeless little elf."

"Unlike other elves, she was special!"

"Unlike the others, she was born directly from the world tree! A miracle which had not happened for hundreds of years!"

"A high elf if you would! The strongest form of the elf race!"

"When she was born, the beats of the elf forest bowed down, plants grew and the sick were healed"

"The very world seemed to be in joy, announcing that she was born"

Saying this, a strong melancholy flashed through her eyes as she remembered the past.

As she spoke, the surrounding nature mana spurred by her emotions began to fluctuate, unknowingly drawing Damien and the others into her words

However, just as the story was seemingly all smiles, it quickly took a dark turn

With a wry smile, Aelinor continued to speak.

"Hearing this, I'm sure some of you might think this is a good thing?"

"For the elves, having such a person born in their family would mean their opportunity to rise had come once more"

"Unfortunately, potential without power to protect it, is ultimately more of a liability than a blessing" she said, a hint of guilt flashing through her eyes.

"Back then, the elf queen of the past, although also seventh order was much weaker than me"

"However despite that, in the face of the prying eyes of various forces trying to kidnap, research, and enslave such a genius, she remains unwilling!"

"Despite being weak, she possessed an unusual ability to merge with the world tree, with that, she was invincible as long as she remained in the firm elf forest"

"And other forces, knowing this, dare not invade the elves!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

People who had just participated in this war knew what the world tree meant.

It was the major source of life mana in the world of Elias, and it also maintained the barrier they had against the outside world.

To merge with such a great tree, not only would that person have unlimited mana and regeneration abilities, but their every move would be akin to a walking natural disaster.

Damien even wondered if the world tree was a God-level tree.

Unfortunately, his knowledge regarding Gods was too lacking to make any accurate judgments.

As for Lyra, at only 18 years old, she hadn't heard any of these secrets before, although she knew that the elf queen was called the greatest talent in a hundred years, but that was it.

"A high-elf? I thought those were myths! To think the queen was one of them!"

Shocked by Aelinor's words, Lyra's thoughts began to spin as she wondered what could have happened that led to the current state of the Elvs where they were attacked and captured without care.

"Aunty Aelinor, what happened? If she was so strong and the Elf clan had such a genius, then what happened?"

"If she were an even greater genius than the current elf queen, doesn't that mean that the current Elf Empire is meant to be stronger?"

Also confused, Leona on the side asked, so engrossed that she subconsciously ignored her aching body.

Fortunately, Aelinor didn't keep them waiting long as she soon told them why.

"Indeed, the Elf empire should have been stronger than ever, unfortunately fate had other plans"

"At the gate of ten, she was already a fifth-order mage, who could leapfrog in battles"

"The spirits and elements were always surrounding her, protecting and strengthening her"

"She was even rumored to be able to break through seventh order before thirty, eighth order before 40, and ninth order before one hundred!"

"With the path of Demi-gods still possible for her!"

Pausing slightly, the surrounding mana suddenly surged.

"However none of that happened"

"At age sixteen, desperate to see the outside world and prove that she didn't need attention, she left the elf forest"

"After which, she met like-minded people who joined her in roaming the world!"

"A dwarf stupid dwarf who drank all day and night, a human who although powered by the shadows brought light all around him with his laughter"

"A woman who deceived all those who came near her getting trapped in her most, and a man whose fists resounded through every battlefield."

In a trance, as she spoke, Damien and the others seemed to see a group of people with smiles on their faces, sitting by a campfire, laughing and singing about their adventures.

A truly warming picture.

"However everything soon changed. At the angle of 18, just before I came of age according to human standards, it happened!"

"Although I don't know who, although I don't know how"

"But on that day I decided to go back to the elf forest and see my family and the queen once more."

"As we elves, we have a certain ritual we do to the goddess of life that day."

"Unfortunately, it seemed that someone had leaked my travel path, and I was intercepted!"

"Three eight orders from the human race intercepted my path, blocking me and making me unable to return"

"Helpless and alone, despite my struggle I wasn't able to escape"

"The surrounding space was sealed so I couldn't contact anyone, and despite my overwhelming talent, I soon failed"

"Realizing this, I already knew my fate, perhaps I would be enslaved and used for their research purposes regardless of my will"

"Or I would be made to bear their children to gain more talents"

"Either way, I knew that my life was not over."

Saying this, the queen who had been calm all this while suddenly began to get angry.

Her eyes narrowed and the air suddenly felt heavy.

"However what really made me despair was what I heard next"

"One of the humans who captured me suddenly spoke"

"He uttered a sentence which I will never forget!"

'The information was correct, the elf has been captured. Now proceed with the plan and lure the elf queen outside the forest'

"Yes, they planned to use me to get to the elf queen!"
