Chapter 2036 - Make The Elven Race Great Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A huge change had appeared at the City of Life. Many domain lords and nobles had burned their slaves’ contracts, freeing many elves.
Moreover, there were even some slave owners who gave some of their lands and properties to their former slaves, giving them a means to survive in the City of Life.
Of course, not every elven noble was willing to give up their special privileges and return to normal again.
Therefore, all the big and small resistance movements began to appear in the City of Life and everywhere in the Wind Forest. The elven slaves charged at the nobles’ stores and domains in attempt to end their slavery by snatching their slave contracts.
Meanwhile, the Night Elves began to get active, helping the elven slaves to fight for their freedom.
This exercise was just a raging fire. It swept through the Wind Forest in an instant, and was already beyond control.
Surprisingly, Helena didn’t intervene at all. She didn’t even render any assistance when the slave owners sent her calls for help. The garrison didn’t provide any support, either.
In the Starry Cave.
“High Priestess, in the current situation where all the noble families are under attack, and their slaves are escaping, please order the garrison to arrest those rioters! The Wind Forest will collapse if this continues,” a middle-aged elf worriedly said to Helena, who was sitting on the platform.
There were also other elven nobles present, and they were also looking at Helena worriedly.
The Wind Forest’s system was on the brink of collapse, and Helena, who had set up and promoted this system, chose to ignore and sit out of this terrible revolution.
Helena was silent for a long time before she turned around slowly to look at the several elven nobles and domain lords below.
There was a hint of a sneer in her gaze.
All the elves avoided her gaze and looked down.
“If you guys had done your part to uphold the contract that I had set up with you years ago, and had been completely loyal to the queen and the elven race, this wouldn’t have happened today.
“I have finally understood what went wrong after pondering for days. It wasn’t me or the system. It was because I had chosen you greedy and lazy fellows back then.
“Since a wrong was done, someone needs to be responsible for the consequences to appease our people.”
Helena’s cold voice echoed throughout the cave, and a light wall rose up at the cave’s entrance.
Thud!
“High Priestess, please forgive us. We are loyal to you and the elven race.”
“Spare us, High Priestess!”
The elves in the cave fell to their knees immediately, pleading for mercy.
“Save your breath for the time to apologize to our people.” Helena waved her hands, and two troops from the garrison came forward to escort the elves away.
The sounds of pleas gradually died down beyond the cave. The Starry Cave soon regained its peace and quiet.
“Ha, cutting your losses. You didn’t even hesitate.” A chuckle rang out in the cave, and a figure in a long silver dress slowly walked in from the entrance.
“I can do anything for the elven race. What’s getting rid of a few pests?” Helena looked at Irina, who halted her footsteps.
Irina mockingly said, “Then you should commit suicide to make amends for your crimes first. After all, you had specially picked those pests and made them fat. You’re now using them as your scapegoats. It’s so despicable that it didn’t look like something that a high priestess would do.”
Helena wasn’t provoked by Irina’s words. Instead, she calmly said, “I have exhausted myself, and spared no effort for the elven race. I have no regrets. I’ll leave the comments to the future generations, but now I’m going to lead the elves into the next phrase.”
“You have already lost that right.”
“I am still standing here. No one has that right other than me. I will make the elven race great again,” Helena said confidently.
Irina coldly said, “Our people chose you and the queen to lead them out of the dark age back then, but you have led most of our people into a darker age for the past 100 years.
“Everything is over now. Our people have already woken up, but you’re still not willing to admit your mistake when most of our people have chosen to oppose the system that you’re promoting. What right do you have to talk about making the elven race great again?”
“This time, I will let them choose the ruling class that they like. If the queen was here right now, she would also stand on my side,” Helena said with a frown.
“You’re wrong. The elves don’t need a ruling class. It’s not powerful garrison troops or impenetrable fortresses which can’t be overrun that can make the elven race strong again, but freedom and equality that the other races envy and the determined heart to defend the Wind Forest.” A magic caster’s staff appeared in Irina’s hands.
“Just like you now?” Helena looked down at Irina. “I’m surprised that you didn’t bring Alex this time.”
“This is my matter. I don’t need him to do anything for me, even though he has already done a lot,” Irina answered calmly.
“You are the most talented elf in the last 1000 years. You once had the chance to lead the elven race to a greater future. The queen and I had high hopes for you, but you fell in love with a human, and even had a bastard with him. This is an unforgivable betrayal.” Helena had a disappointed expression.
“This is none of your business.” Irina smiled. “Furthermore, meeting him was the luckiest thing in my life, and that child is the most beautiful gift that the God of Life has bestowed upon us.
“In fact, sometimes I even think that you became such an obstinate old lady because you never met a man who loves you in your life.”
“You—”
“We talk too much. I came to fight you, and not argue with you!” Irina interrupted Helena. She took a step forward with her magic caster’s staff, and disappeared on the spot. She reappeared above the platform, holding her magic caster’s staff high above her head with both her hands, and smashed it down onto Helena’s head.
The starry sky crystal ball hovering in front of Helena released a starry sky barrier.
The magic caster’s staff landed on the barrier, and made a dull thud.
The barrier vibrated strenuously before it disappeared, and the force of the magic caster’s staff was dissipated too.
However, the Holy Light exploded at that very moment.
That night, a terrifying battle shock wave broke out in the Starry Cave.
The Tree of Life lit up brightly, and a thread-like beam of green light connected to the Starry Cave.
That battle lasted for over an hour before the Starry Cave collapsed. A purple-striped griffin landed on the ruins, and left with Irina.
The elves dug out the seriously injured Helena from the ruins.

“That old witch… still has some things up her sleeves…” Irina lay face down on the griffin’s back. She slowly lost her focus, and lost her consciousness.
“Ow~”
Ah Zi looked back with concern, and flapped its wings even harder as it flew towards Rodu.
