Game of the World Tree - Chapter 665

665. Chapter 662 Conversion

“Feng…”

Sophia silently chanted the name, and took another look at the robe on the other party. She couldn’t help asking:

“Are you also the Chosen Elf?”

The female elf nodded gently and smiled:

“Yes.”

After receiving the other party’s affirmation, Sophia nodded slightly.

She gracefully pinched the hem of her skirt and bowed, introducing herself:

“Ms. Feng, hello, I am Sophia von Wels.”

As soon as she finished the introduction, the girl realized that she had unconsciously used a honorific.

But even though she used a honorific, she didn’t feel it was out of place at all, as if the elf in front of her should be treated with respect.

This feeling is very strange.

It’s just that Sophia just has such a mysterious feeling…

No, or it can’t be said to be a feeling, but a natural ability to distinguish formed after seeing too many nobles in the castle.

The unique temperament of this Chosen Elf named Feng is definitely formed gradually by people who have been in high positions for a long time.

Could it be… She is one of the high-level people in the Forest of Elves?

Sophia thought in her heart.

The more the girl thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

At this point, her attitude became more respectful…

“Ms. Feng, what do you mean by no oppression and equality?”

Sophia asked seriously.

“It means literally.”

Feng said with a smile.

After that, she took out a handful of grains from her arms and scattered them on the ground, attracting a group of white pigeons to fight for food. She squatted down slightly, stroking the fat white pigeons, and said:

“There are no nobles among the elves. Even the chosen ones favored by the goddess are not in a superior position. They are just respected by the elves spontaneously… Even the royal family has no real privileges, but only has a high spiritual influence.”

“Not only that, even the half-elves in the Elf Forest will not be discriminated against by the elves because of their blood. In the eyes of the elves, everyone is a family, and the entire Elf Forest will always be harmonious and united.”

Feng turned around and smiled gently at Sophia:

“It is precisely because of equality and the lack of oppression that everyone can live happily here.”

After hearing Feng’s words, Sophia’s expression moved slightly.

She glanced at the carefree elves in the distance and shook her head slightly:

“No… It’s impossible. How can there be true equality in the world? In this world, there are strong people and weak people. The weak are naturally weaker than the strong and can only seek the protection of the strong… This world cannot be equal.”

After that, Sophia pointed to the elves in the distance:

“For example, since you said that the elves here are equal, why are some of them still dressed more elegantly and noble, while others are relatively simple and monotonous? If it is equality, why are there some buildings here with magnificent villas and gardens, while others are relatively simple bungalows?”

“And…”

She looked at Feng again:

“Aren’t the robes and staffs on you much more powerful than those of many elf chosen ones? If it is really equal, why is there such a big difference?”

Looking at Sophia with a serious expression, Feng smiled faintly:

“Ms. Sophia.”

“Equality does not mean absolute fairness, nor does it mean average…”

“The equality I am talking about is equality in rules, and equality in rules… does not necessarily mean equality in substance.”

“As you said, the stronger the ability, the more they will naturally get, and they will naturally occupy more resources. This phenomenon also exists in the Elf Forest.”

After hearing Feng’s words, Sophia sneered:

“Isn’t it still different? In the final analysis, this world is still unequal, just like the nobles with nobler births and extraordinary powers will be stronger than the weaker civilians and have more resources. What you said seems to be contradictory.”

Looking at the half-elf girl who shook her head slightly, Feng smiled indifferently:

“Miss Sophia, I want to ask you a question…”

“Please ask.”

The girl said.

Feng continued to ask:

“Nobles, how did they come from?”

Sophia was slightly startled.

After a moment of silence, she said:

“Of course, they inherited the glory of their ancestors.”

“What about the ancestors? Who did they inherit from?”

Feng asked again.

Sophia was slightly startled.

She thought for a moment and said,

“Of course, they got everything they have through hard work and struggle.”

Feng nodded gently,

“You are right.”

Then, he changed the subject,

“So, were they nobles from the beginning?”

Sophia fell silent.

No.

She knew that the answer was no.

There are detailed records in the history of the empire that the founding emperors and nobles of the empire were just slaves of a tribe called Mannia thousands of years ago.

They won their freedom through struggle, and eventually established their own city-states. They fought north and south, defeated the Elf Kingdom, and unified the north of the continent…

“It seems that you already have the answer.”

Feng smiled.

“What do you want to say?”

Sophia couldn’t help asking.

Feng looked at the young elves playing happily in the distance, and continued,

“There used to be no nobles in the human world. Nobles… are just a privilege created by human rulers for the convenience of rule, to strengthen their own power, and to solidify the class.”

“That is, the human world is fundamentally and in terms of rules, unequal.”

“But the Elf Forest is different.”

“In the Elf Forest, everyone may live a different life because of their different abilities and powers, but everyone is equal in terms of rules…”

“The strong will not look down on the weak, and the weak will not belittle themselves… The weak can work hard through certain channels to become strong, and the strong will take the initiative to help the weak and let them grow up.”

“This is the equality of the Elf Forest.”

After listening to Feng’s words, Sophia seemed to be thinking about something.

But she frowned and couldn’t help but say:

“But… among the nobles of the empire, there are also many who will take the initiative to help civilians and let civilians live a good life…”

“Then, will they let civilians become nobles?”

Feng suddenly asked.

Sophia paused slightly.

Looking at the girl who was suddenly stunned, Feng continued:

“No…”

“No matter how well the human nobles treat civilians, they will not let them become nobles like themselves. In the final analysis, even many nobles are good to civilians, just to make the territory more prosperous and to make their own power stronger…”

“This is determined by class attributes. Nobles and civilians represent two different classes. In order to consolidate their own class, nobles must be above civilians and will inevitably oppress and exploit civilians. It is nothing more than a matter of more and less…”

“Nobles will always be a minority. In order to consolidate their position, they will never let civilians truly grow up, so… the bottom of the human world will always be dark.”

“If a noble betrays his class, he is no longer a noble.”

After listening to Feng’s words, Sophia fell into complete silence.

Suddenly, her mind flashed back to the scenes she had seen in Riverbend and Morningstar City.

She thought of the indifference and hardship of the common people, and the luxury and extravagance of the nobles.

She thought of the disdain with which the nobles talked about the common people, and the tragic dead baby in the ravine…

At this moment, the half-elf girl felt something in her heart being touched.

She felt as if she understood something, but it seemed that she was still a little short of it.

“Then… is the Elf Forest different?”

the girl asked.

This time, her expression was more serious.

“Of course.”

Feng smiled and nodded, and continued:

“In the Forest of Elf, there is no privileged class.”

“Strength and ability, in the Forest of Elf, only represent different divisions of labor. Here, no one will trample on the dignity of the weak, and no one will block the road to rise…”

“Through hard work, everyone has the opportunity to become a high priest, or even a high priest.”

“Through hard work, everyone has the opportunity to become strong, or even a god-favored one.”

“Through hard work, beings with elven blood can get closer to the goddess, purify their blood to become half-elves, and half-elves can continue to purify and become true elves…”

“This… is the equality of the Forest of Elf. Here… there is always the vitality of rising, so everyone is full of hope for the future and full of love for life.”

“Of course, the equality of the Forest of Elf is not perfect, such as the huge gap between the rich and the poor among the chosen ones, and the uneven distribution of resources…”

“But, the road is tortuous, the future is bright, and the future is constantly developing…”

“As long as we stick to our original intentions, don’t forget our original aspirations, have firm beliefs, a correct direction, and an unremitting pursuit of equality and common progress… then the Elf Forest will always move forward.”

“Everything will be fine.”

After listening to Feng’s words, Sophia fell into deep thought.

However, when her eyes swept over the carefree smiles of the elves in the distance, she couldn’t help but say:

“Only the elves would be like this, after all… the nature of the elves is kind…”

Looking at the girl’s complicated expression, Feng smiled slightly:

“Miss Sophia, you have seen the fighting power of the Elf Chosen, do you believe this yourself?”

Sophia was slightly stunned.

She suddenly remembered the ferocity of the Elf Chosen when fighting with the guards in Morning Star City, and the various legends about the Elf Chosen, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.

“Miss Sophia.”

Feng continued:

“The Elf Forest does not rely on the kindness of the elves. In fact… when the goddess became the protector of the elves, the elves had already abandoned the past…”

“Then… how did the elves achieve equality?”

Sophia couldn’t help asking.

“It’s faith.”

Feng’s expression gradually became serious.

“Faith?”

Sophia widened her eyes.

“Yes, it’s the goddess’ faith.”

Feng said devoutly.

“The equality of all things is one of the basic doctrines of the Holy Book of Life. In the teachings of the goddess, we are taught that all beings are equal. Everyone has the right to pursue progress, and everyone has the right to defend themselves…”

“The goddess of life…”

After listening to Feng’s words, Sophia was thoughtful.

She was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help saying:

“This is the first time I’ve heard of such a doctrine… In the canon of the Eternal Church, the church only tells the world that everyone is born with original sin, and only by believing in God and enduring suffering can they be liberated after death and ascend to the paradise mountain without pain, despair, happiness and beauty…” “

So… this is the difference.”

Feng smiled slightly.

Her expression became serious, and she continued:

“The goddess is kind. In the eyes of the goddess, all beings are equal… The goddess’s teachings hope that the whole world will become better. The goddess’s teachings will not only persuade all beings to believe in her, but will also truly bring a better future to all beings.”

“However, for the Eternal Church, believers are just tools to gain faith, and for the nobles, the church is just a tool to facilitate rule.”

After hearing Feng’s words, Sophia’s heart was shocked.

A glimmer of enlightenment suddenly flashed in her mind, and she seemed to understand why there were actually very few devout believers among the nobles.

In addition to the enlightenment, Sophia’s heart was a little excited.

She felt as if she understood the crux of the empire’s decay, and also understood how to save this increasingly dark country…

At this moment, she suddenly developed a strong curiosity about the teachings of the goddess of life in her heart, and also had an unprecedented respect and yearning for the goddess of life, Eve…

“Miss Feng… No, Your Excellency Feng, are you a priest of life? Can you tell me in detail about the teachings of the goddess of life?”

She asked with a little expectation.

Feng smiled and pointed to a magnificent building in the distance:

“Do you see that temple?”

“Go there and find a priest named Zhuanzhu, and you will get the answer you want…”

Following Feng’s direction, Sophia saw the Temple of Life in the distance.

Her expression became slightly solemn.

“I understand, thank you, Lord Feng.”

She bowed deeply to Feng.

Then, the girl took a deep breath and walked towards the Temple of Life…

like a new pilgrim. At

this moment, the faint light on her body that symbolized the faith of the Eternal Church completely dissipated, and faintly, there seemed to be a trace of new power that was constantly being nurtured…

Watching the half-elf girl enter the Temple of Life, Feng smiled and disappeared in the crowd.

Further away, Li Mu and Demacia, who were chasing after them breathlessly, stared blankly in the direction of the Temple of Life, with amazement on their faces.

“My goodness, she is worthy of being Brother Feng… What did she say? Is this a trick? Mission accomplished?!”

Demacia looked at Sophia’s faint light of faith in the Eye of Faith and couldn’t help but sigh.

“So she is the big player among the priests.”

Li Mu sighed slightly.
