Nightingale seemed to be very popular among the Chosen Ones.
Following her, Taylor saw that whenever they encountered a Chosen One, they would enthusiastically greet her.
And Nightingale would respond with a smile.
Sometimes, Taylor even noticed that a Chosen One with expectant eyes would approach Nightingale and eagerly inquire if there were any tasks available.
*The slightly sycophantic expressions on their faces even made Taylor a bit dazed, slightly distorting his worldview.*
*He did not expect that the Chosen Ones would have such a side.*
*In his impression, these Chosen Ones, who had descended into the half-plane, were mischievous but never lost their dignity.*
*No, that’s not right...*
*It seems like when I first met them, they also asked if there were any tasks they could do.*
*It’s just that at that time, I was suddenly approached by the legendary Divine Race, feeling a bit giddy.*
*In the midst of fear and delight, Taylor couldn’t help but be confused, and eventually, the other party left in disappointment...*
*But now it seems... was there a hidden agenda?*
*Or was it proof that the Chosen Ones were just seeking amusement?*
*However, at the same time, he felt that Nightingale’s status seemed to be much higher than he initially imagined.*
*After all... she could assign tasks to other Divine Race members!*
*This made him increasingly cautious.*
They walked and talked.
And Nightingale began to explain to Taylor the current state of the Elf Forest.
Through Nightingale’s introduction, Taylor gained a deeper understanding of the Elf Clan, who were referred to as the Divine Race.
As of now, the Elf Clan in the Elf Forest could be divided into three groups.
The first group was the Chosen Ones.
The Chosen Ones were the largest in number within the Elf Clan, totaling sixty thousand.
They were the Goddess’s sword and shield, active in various parts of the Elf Forest, building it, and at the same time defending it.
The second group was the returnee elves.
The number of returnee elves was just below the Chosen Ones, with more than two thousand.
They were composed of elves returning from all over the Segis World to the Elf Forest and purified Half-Elves, mainly residing in an elf city called Feilengcui.
Lady Nightingale and Divine Favored El belonged to this group.
Unlike the whimsical and adventure-loving Chosen Ones, the returnee elves generally loved peace, had gentle personalities, and many were devout believers.
At the same time, they were also the main force in the upper echelon of the Life Church.
Unlike the Chosen Ones, the returnee elves were mainly responsible for production in the Elf Forest and issuing tasks to the Chosen Ones.
Of course, they also had their own guards, but they mainly handled internal security within the Elf Forest, rather than external offensive and defensive operations for the Chosen Ones.
Incidentally, if the residents of the half-plane were purified into elves, they also belonged to this group.
The third group was the Primordial Elves.
The Primordial Elves were few in number, with less than a hundred, but they held a somewhat transcendent status.
Because each Primordial Elf was personally born by the Goddess, possessing extremely high potential and talent...
They lived with the Chosen Ones, receiving education alongside the Chosen Ones and the returnee elves, and they were also the future of the Elf Clan.
*After listening to Nightingale’s description, the mysterious Divine Race in Taylor’s heart had finally unveiled its veil.*
"So...may I ask, Miss Nighthawk, which type of elves were the ones that descended into our world a thousand years ago?"
"They were the clan members who once fled the Elf Forest. If they are still in the world and have returned, they belong to the second group."
Nightingale answered.
*So that’s how it is...*
Taylor thought with a slight realization.
*He had felt that the legendary Divine Race seemed different from the Chosen Ones he had seen.*
*Compared to the elves currently active in the half-plane, the legendary Divine Race was much more composed and dignified, and they didn’t like to fight at all.*
*He had always thought the legends were wrong, but now it seemed that it was just because the groups were different.*
*However, although he knew the truth, perhaps because of the first impression, compared to the gentle returnee elves, Taylor still felt closer to the Chosen Ones.*
*After all, it was they who saved the half-plane and pointed out the path of faith for him.*
*Moreover, based on the origin of the Chosen Ones, Taylor still felt he was more similar to them.*
*After all, both come from another world, and it seems neither was originally of the Divine Race.*
However, after hearing Taylor’s thoughts, Nightingale shook her head:
"It’s still different."
"The world you are in is merely a half-plane attached to the Segis World. The plane itself was also created by the Divine Crown and the former Lord Oros."
"But the Chosen Ones, they come from much further away... From another universe beyond countless planes. It is said that only the Goddess knows where they are from."
*From a faraway place...*
*Taylor’s expression was somewhat dazed.*
*He suddenly felt that this world was much larger than he had imagined...*
*He originally thought the half-plane was the entire world, but he didn’t expect that there was another upper realm above it.*
*And after coming to the upper realm, the Divine Race adults told him that there were countless planes like the Segis World in this universe.*
*Even beyond these countless planes, there might be worlds even more distant!*
*And the Elf Clan was just one of many intelligent races in this universe...*
*Not only that, but the status of the Elf Clan wasn’t as transcendent as he imagined. Although they were renowned in the upper realm as the most noble and beautiful, the most elegant and gentle of the long-lived races, and once possessed a dominant civilization among the planes, they had now declined...*
