Chapter 296: Chapter 269: The Empress Isn’t Much Better (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Inside the carriage, Sofia curiously looked at the puppet sitting beside Lette.

"Mr. Wright, this is..."

"Oh, this is my excellent employee."

"Employee?"

"You can think of it as a subordinate who has signed a cooperation contract."

"Ah... Mr. Wright is quite, unconventional."

Lette turned his head to look outside the carriage, his brows furrowing unconsciously: "The Elf Clan, are there really no male Elves left?

I thought it was just a malicious rumor, but didn’t expect..."

"Yes, ever since the Ancient Tree of Life had issues, no new male Elves have been born in the Elf Clan."

Lette’s eyebrows raised: "Is it related to the Ancient Tree of Life?"

"Yes, for us Elves, nurturing the next generation is mostly through the Elf Ancient Tree. Natural birth takes a very long time.

And the natural birth rate is very low, due to our long lifespan..."

Lette nodded slightly, the longer the lifespan, the harder it is to reproduce, which is a very peculiar but balanced phenomenon.

Although no one has found the cause of this phenomenon so far, no one doubts its correctness.

Simply put, if long-lived and highly talented races like the Dragon Clan and Elf Clan had the same breeding capabilities as the Beastman and Rat man Clans.

Then this world would have already been overrun.

For this phenomenon, Lette believes it is due to the purity of the soul.

The birth of life involves not only the physical body but also the soul, which is a crucial part.

The soul of an Elf, whether in purity or strength, far surpasses that of a human.

The difficulty in conceiving such a soul is naturally much higher than for humans. Coupled with their unique bodies, low fertility rate and long gestation periods are understandable.

"Actually, we can save ourselves. The Elf Clan realized the problem very early, at that time there were still quite a few male elves.

If at that time, the normal way of breeding had been adopted, abandoning reliance on the Ancient Tree of Life.

Then perhaps, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.

Unfortunately, after the last male Elf died naturally..."

Sofia looked troubled, Lette did not say anything after hearing this, but the Liar Demon laughed.

"What is it? Your Elf Clan doesn’t actually need male individuals, right? As long as there’s the Ancient Tree of Life, reproduction can continue.

Moreover, your Elf Clan is different from other clans, with significant differences between males and females, each shouldering different social and family missions.

Losing either side would cause collapse for other clans.

But not for you, the continued maintenance of your clan after losing males is proof of that.

I think the only impact of the absence of male Elves on you is that the Druid Soul cannot be passed down.

In terms of combat power, this is a serious loss.

Leaving you with only archers, rangers, and mages not adept at frontal conflict.

Staying in the densely forested Elf Empire, self-preservation isn’t a problem.

But if you wanted to invade the Human World, there would be substantial shortcomings.

In the era of the Divine Struggle, this could be a fatal problem.

But..."

The Liar Demon said this and couldn’t help but look at Lette: "In this world, your Elves are destined never to be the protagonists on the stage again.

A tiger without claws and teeth may no longer hunt, but can be kept as a pet.

But if the tiger is still trying to find its claws, it might eventually turn into a tiger-skin coat."

Sofia initially tried to refute, but after listening to the other, she broke into a cold sweat, occasionally glancing at Lette.

Unexpectedly, Lette was also looking at her, and when their eyes met, Lette showed a kindly smile.

"It’s okay, whether you grow claws and teeth or not won’t prevent you from being a pet.

Besides, once you have claws and teeth, you might have more job opportunities.

Such as guarding the door or competing for positions with hunting dogs."

Sofia forced a couple of dry laughs, her body shrinking towards the corner of the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage stopped at this time, and their group had reached the gates of the Imperial Palace.

"Ahead is the main gate of the palace, Mr. Wright, shall we get off?"

Lette remained seated with no intention of moving: "Why? Isn’t the road inside the gates quite spacious?"

"But... but..."

"The Elf Queen is not yet noble enough to require me to walk to meet her."

Lette’s voice was very calm, as if narrating the most ordinary thing.

"By doing this, it’s for her own good."

Sofia didn’t know what to do for a moment, while the Liar Demon started laughing again.

"Young Elf girl, I advise you to listen to our boss, he wasn’t bluffing with those words."

The Elves didn’t know, but Pinocchio did.

The Life Twin Goddess has officially joined the Divine Court, with Lette himself as the interviewer.

It won’t be long before the Twin Goddess will assume the position of the patron deity of the Elf Clan, becoming a most revered deity.

In front of these two deities, the Elf Queen is like a lamb to a shepherd.

And when the two Life Goddesses meet Lette, they must bow.

Because the entire pasture belongs to this man, he is the real rancher. The so-called shepherd girl twins are merely his employees.

Having one’s boss walk to meet the Elf Queen?

Once the new gods are officially in place, how will the Queen respond? She’s not the same as the Pope and bishops of the Holy Light Church.
