The elves had left the woods to enter the wasteland and lived together with the humans.
The elf merchants returning from Vazari spread it to their home Manastella - subtly different from Sir Maverick's speech - and the story had little effect on the elves of Manastella, on the beasts and the dwarves, and also on the humans.
(Thousands of years ago was the elf about to take a hand with the humans and face a great disaster? That too, head out to the wasteland off the woods. Don't be afraid to expose the wasteland to wreckage.
For an elf who lives in a forest, dying out of the protection of the forest is nothing but fear. Have you tried to defend your life with humans until you have shaken off that fear? The consternation suffered by the elves eventually became so touching as to cover them that it spread among the elves.
Wise readers may have noticed, but elves generally have a strong romantic personality and tend to feel things in a romantic direction - sometimes perverted. The elves therefore show excellent talent as lyricists and artists. But also because of this, the quality of diplomacy, in which state control and cunning required for coolness, was scarce, which was one reason why the elves did not build the state. This time the romantic orientation of the elves created a flow of attempts to advance coordinated cooperation with humans and other subpeoples in the form of kicking off any plans and strategies.
And this great flow could not help but have a great impact on other subpopulations and humans living in the country.
This is a deep forest spanning the borders of Illustria, Manastella and Morfan.
The story brought by the elf merchants had also reached the high elves who lived hidden in this forest.
"Chief, speaking of 700 years ago..."
"Um, I do have a record of a few elves fleeing the war and coming to this village... but on the contrary, there are no other records."
Sounds like a terrible coincidence, but not really. It is not unnatural for war-ridden elves to alienate to other villages, and they would not put it on record unless it was for a special purpose, such as individual refugee situations.
"... that I was making it inconspicuous?
So it is over-thinking.
"Well... there's no way to be sure now if they did it intentionally. After all, they didn't live in this forest, and they traveled somewhere again."
"Assuming… that the elves at that time were the ones who built the ruins of the matter, they left this forest without saying anything…"
"... I heard that his (or) builders chose to leave the woods and live in the wasteland. Maybe life in these woods was too boring for the builders."
"You think I was bored?
"Remember, Tuba, when your Lord was also a young man and a child. I'm not dreaming of going out into the wider world. Young people can be appreciated in the outside world. That hasn't changed yet. Nor do we, the old men, seek to retain the young."
"But it..."
"Bye. We also went out into the world, and returned with dreams torn. If so, I thought it would be the elderly's job to try to get out of the house without guns. But, uh, are you sure that's a good idea?
…………
"Wasn't it because he (or) the builders left this forest without telling him anything that they were disappointed with the elves of the time? Let's just think about that these days..."
The young elf, called Tuba, had no words to speak to the chief.
