Chapter 213 [Youth forever]

The vastness of the Melianne forest is beyond He Ping's imagination. In the main world, the forest has begun to degenerate and is distributed all over the world. The area of ​​the Melianne forest is enough to be comparable to the land area of ​​the largest countries in the main world. Not to mention the already developed main world, even in the military world, He Ping has never heard of such a large forest. From the elves, they are Nordo elves and have been living here since their birth.

Along the way, He Ping saw various trees, some of which bear various fruits, which were the food for the elves. For the nearby orc tribes, when their food and prey were not enough to supply everyone in the tribe, they would launch a war, either to rob other orcs, or to attack the Melianne forest and rob the fruits from the forest. The war can also consume the population to survive the period of insufficient food.

After walking a while, He Ping met other elves. Like the warriors, these elves are mainly women and very few men. However, these elves do not have leather armor and robes, and they do not have weapons in their hands. The clothes on their bodies are different from those He Ping had seen before. They are different from the fancy and monotony of the main world and the monotony of the military world, and are also different from the clothing that is mainly straight in the Giant Beast Paradise. The clothing of elves is mostly soft curves, full of beauty.

From these elves, He Ping did not feel the strong magic fluctuations. Obviously, these are just ordinary civilians among the elves. When they saw five elves elders, these elves stood in the distance and bowed their heads and saluted with their faces full of admiration. He Ping, who was walking with the elves, was full of curiosity. These elves did not have the walkie-talkie used by the elves, and could not share information with the elves, so they did not know He Ping's existence.

What surprised He Ping the most was that there were no houses in the world he had seen before. The elves lived on trees. To be precise, they were already the core area of ​​the forest. The trees became increasingly old and thick. Some trees had a cross-section of dozens of square meters. The elves hollowed out the trees and opened doors and windows on the trunks, and treated the trees as houses and lived in the trees.

The most amazing thing is that these thick trees, which are regarded as houses, did not die because of hollowed-out bark inside. The color of the bark and the green leaves on the branches all show that these trees live well and have strong vitality. This is definitely contrary to common sense for He Ping, but then again, since he traveled through time and space, common sense has been useless, and nothing he has experienced is in line with common sense.

The further he went, the more elves were denser, and more and more elves and civilians lived here, and the houses were thick and thick trees. Apart from this, the rest were similar to the world He Ping had been to before. There were also shops, roads, children, businessmen, and ordinary people who bought things. However, He Ping discovered a problem. Along the way, he did not seem to see too old elves, the oldest, and the appearance was nearly thirty years old.

"Elder Bilodith." He Ping walked and ranked the highest among the five elves. He called himself Bilodith. After seeing He Ping for the first time, he asked the elf elder who first talked to him, "Can I ask you a slightly rude question?"

Bilodis replied strangely: "Irregular? What's the question? If I knew, I would definitely try my best to answer."

"That's that... how old are you this year?" He Ping is a little difficult to say about this question. In the main world, asking about the age of adult women is a big taboo. This is not something that can be asked casually. If it is not familiar to a certain level, or if it is directly asked by elders, it is not a rare thing for the woman being asked directly, so He Ping was a little cautious when asking.

"What's so rude about this?" It seems that humans' concerns in the main world are very different from those of elves. Not only is Bilodis not angry at all, but he is a little surprised why He Ping was embarrassed about asking about his age. She replied openly: "I am 299 years old this year, and I will be 300 in a few months."

"Hey?" He Ping was stunned. What did Bilodis say just now? Two hundred years old? Three hundred years old? Is there something wrong with his ears, or is his Kunya language not understanding the specific numbers? Or is the calendar in this world a little different? He Ping turned to several other elves elders and asked about their age. The answers he got were almost the same as Bilodis, all over 250 years old, and the oldest one was already 320 years old.

Is it really different to the calendar? He Ping asked Bilodis again about the calendar and time algorithm used by the Noldo elves, but the result was that although the calendar and time used by the elves were not exactly the same as the main world, there was not much difference overall. In other words, Bilodis and several other elves elders were genuine. For He Ping, this age was the level of his ancestors.

"How long does that elf live?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you can usually live for more than a thousand years. Those with strong strength will live longer. An elf elder once created a record of 2,800 years. The average life expectancy we counted ten years ago, if we remember correctly, it should be 1,300 years."

He Ping was completely confused. The civilization of the elves is completely different from the main world. One is to use external forces and the other is to cultivate oneself. It would be good for humans to live for a hundred years with the help of external forces. But for the elves who practice themselves, this is not even a fraction. After taking a few seconds to digest this information, He Ping asked again: "What about your appearance? Have you always maintained your current state?"

"Elf will grow up at the age of 100, and will be in the growth stage before adulthood. They will grow from babies to adult elves." Although they don't understand why He Ping asked these questions, it is not a secret. Bilodis said without hesitation: "After the age of 100, growth will stop, and then appearance will slowly change, but the overall change is not much. By the age of 100, there is no difference from now."

Not only does it have a long lifespan, but it also has eternal youth! The things that elves regard as common sense are eternal but unreachable pursuits for people in the main world. However, the two civilizations have their own advantages, so it is impossible to say who is better or worse. After He Ping sighed these, he thought of another question: "What about the elves in their teens?"
