Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 371 Blessing or Shackles?

Although Andrea diverted Celes' attention with seemingly high-ranking topics, in fact, he was still very unhappy about being called an old uncle.

However, Andrea believes that this situation is probably related to his professional environment. He has been discussing major issues that determine the direction of the country with a group of stern-faced colleagues all year round. Even if he wants to be funny, it is not realistic to be active.

The only way to relax is when playing and joking with Fandral. The Supreme Council is indeed not a suitable place for joking.

Originally, Andrea thought that he had already adapted to the heavy burden of government affairs, but it was discovered during an unexpected visit today that he was not really adapted, but was assimilated by the surrounding environment as a last resort.

Moreover, the topic raised by Andrea is not groundless. Although the rotation system for middle- and lower-level officials is well implemented, including the Supreme Council and officials at various ministerial levels, people in high positions have remained so for thousands of years. a batch.

‘Maybe it’s really time to consider cultivating a new generation of successors. It’s not an option for us old guys to hold the ruling power all the time. '

The blessing of eternal life does guarantee that the night elves have an infinite lifespan, but from a certain perspective, immortality is also a shackle that hinders the development of night elf society.

A more realistic issue is fertility.

Although the high elves in Dongdu have a far lower fertility rate than humans, they can at least metabolize all layers of the country at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...Although this standard visible to the naked eye uses millennia as the time scale.

Compared with the high elves, the fertility rate of the night elves is like being artificially locked in the genes. No matter how hard they try, they can't break through the racial fertility limit after receiving the blessing of eternal life.

On this point, Andrea himself has a deep understanding.

Not to mention the hard work of himself and his two wives, the population growth of the night elves every century will be handed over to him for review. The number is really... appalling. Recently, he even began to consider whether to expand the rule of a hundred years to a thousand years.

As time went by, Andrea gradually figured out a problem.

The night elves only have the power template of mortals, but because of the blessing of eternal life, their social structure is close to some powerful non-human races, such as the dragon race who are not mortals.

It's like a strange race with multiple Jebaos on their faces. Not all of them are immortal, but only the prophet who is the leader is an immortal who receives the blessing of Naaru.

This level of immortality can ensure that leaders with prophetic abilities can lead their people through difficulties from generation to generation, and at the same time, it can also ensure that their race has enough vitality to continue their... journey of escape.

It may not be accurate to describe the night elves as unsuitable, but Andrea believes that the blessing of eternal life has already caused a lot of burden on his tribe.

In recent years, the work of the psychological counseling center has become heavier year by year. Although the Supreme Council has made a series of measures to promote social vitality, the most fundamental problems cannot be solved. All policies are only temporary solutions.

The eternal life blessing of the night elves comes from the world tree Nordrassil, and further consideration is linked to the new Well of Eternity under the Nordrassil tree.

Although the status of the New Well of Eternity in the Night Republic cannot be compared with that of the former Night Empire, it still occupies a considerable proportion.

Including arcane puppets and various automated magic devices are inseparable from the infinite energy support of the Well of Eternity, and Andrea does not intend to, nor is it possible, to make fun of the Well of Eternity in order to eliminate the blessing of eternal life.

Fortunately, the travelers who have insight into the future know that there is a "legitimate" reason for the night elves to get rid of the blessing of eternal life that binds them like a curse. This is an excellent opportunity for the Night Republic to be broken and established.

...

"so what?"

Looking at the blue-haired girl who hesitated to speak, Andrea asked with some headaches, "What are you trying to do after following us? Could it be that you are unconvinced and want to fight again?"

"how come!"

Niyana hurriedly swung her head left and right, her fluffy ponytail dangling behind her like a squirrel's tail.

The quality of this child's hair can make Andrea's previous 996 overtime dogs jealous to the point of plasmolysis.

Not only is the hair blue and shiny, but also fluffy and looks very textured, really like a squirrel tail growing on the back of the head.

Niyana looked at the old couple holding hands in front of her with bright eyes, hesitated for a few seconds and finally asked.

"May I ask a question about your personal affairs?"

Celes smiled and nodded, "Please tell me."

"What is the relationship between Headmaster Seles and this old man, could it be..."

Andrea shrugged nonchalantly and said, "As you guessed, what? Could it be that your dean can't have his own family?"

"No, no, no... that's not what I meant, but I've never seen the dean so close to other people before."

Niyana's eyes are full of curiosity and gossip. Although she has a strong and straightforward personality, she is still a girl in her teens after all, and it is only natural that she will be interested in the happy relationship that is right in front of her eyes.

Seles explained with a gentle smile, "After all, I am the head of the academy, and I cannot hold it for a long time."

"As long as the college's affairs are on the right track and a suitable successor is cultivated, I will resign and focus my life back on my family."

With the passing of the two immediate family members of Dath Remar and Danas successively, Andrea, Shandris, Leticia, Onyxia and Aurora are the most important family members of Seres.

Only those who have experienced loss will cherish the seemingly ordinary life, and family is more important than anything else in Seles' eyes.

Although the birth of Anasteria and even Kael'thas made Celes very happy, after all, she was a few generations away from these younger generations. It was no problem to take care of them as younger generations, but it was difficult to feel comfortable with them. Delia and other family members have the same sense of closeness.

It was obviously the first time Niyana had learned about this from the head of the school, and she had an undisguised look of surprise and puzzlement on her face.

Narsalas College has gathered a large number of young talents from the entire Dark Night Republic. As long as Seres does not take the initiative to leave, these young talents who will surely become pillars of society in the future will automatically become her disciples and contacts.

If it continues for a long time, even if she does not hold any public office, Seres's network will be so huge that no official can ignore it.

Although the Starscar family where Niyana was born was not a prominent family, within three generations there were relatives who served in the government of the Republic.

She herself is not very interested in these interpersonal exchanges in the officialdom, but she will inevitably be influenced by what she has heard and seen.

Judging from Celeste's attitude, she seems to have no attachment to this huge network of contacts that can be expected in the future, which makes Niyana even more curious about Celeste's hidden identity.

Andrea saw the inquiring look in Niyana's eyes, and in order not to cause trouble for Celes, he interrupted the other's thoughts.

"Okay, let's stop here for the time being about Celeste, classmate Niyana Xinghen, you haven't said why you came here yet."

"Ah... that's right!"

Niyana slammed her palm with a look of surprise, "Old man! I'm here to ask for advice on the battle just now!"

"What did you do, why can you make all my attacks invisible in an understatement?"
