The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

In an instant, Moran felt a peaceful natural energy trying to connect with her.

It's the Wood Language technique again!
This was the first time Moran had learned that Wood Language could communicate not only with plants but also with elves!
She didn't resist; instead, after calming her thoughts slightly, she responded.

"Grandma Chieftain~"

“Good, good boy,” Mathil said softly.

Looking into Moran's clear, intelligent emerald eyes, her admiration deepened.

It usually takes several months for an ordinary elf infant to express such clear thoughts, but this child was only half a day old. The child conceived by the Tree Spirit is indeed extraordinary.

"Can you feel the presence of the inherited memories?" Matilda patiently guided. "The part about Elvish is usually the first to be unlocked. If you're bored, you can try to touch that knowledge. Once you can speak, you won't have to lie in the cradle every day to receive the natural power of the Tree Spirit."

After thinking for a moment, Moran decided not to hide anything and truthfully told her about her current situation: "Grandma Chief, I have learned it."

She had learned Elvish in Valen, and although she wasn't as good as a real elf, she had no problem reading Elvish spellbooks and communicating in a basic manner.

After receiving the inherited memories of the nature spirits, she immediately reviewed her knowledge of Elvish.

Its listening, speaking, and reading skills are about the same as those of an adult elf, but its writing skills are still far behind.

Of the three fonts commonly used by the Nature Elves—Vine, Flowing Wind, and Leaf Vein—Molan had only encountered the Vine font, which was used for everyday writing, in Valen, and he wrote it quite well.

The flowing, graceful script, which imitates the movement of water and wind, is used for writing poetry and letters. The ancient script, Leaf Vein, with its elegant and fluid form resembling the intricate veins on a leaf, is often used to record history and magic. Moran learned both of these scripts through inherited memories and hasn't practiced them much, so they might not be very good.

"You...you mean, you've already mastered Elvish?" Matilda's voice trembled slightly, not out of doubt, but out of pure shock.

Moran is still unable to speak fluently, but that doesn't stop her from responding with her actions.

She stretched out her still-childish but no longer weak and powerless little hand, and with her fingertips, wrote down the message she had just conveyed in Elvish script in Mathilde's broad palm: "Learned Elvish."

The touch of fingertips gliding across the palm was subtle yet clear. Although it carried the awkwardness and naivety of a beginner, the structure of each character was accurate and flawless.

Mathilde's gaze followed the delicate fingertips intently, her heart churning with turmoil.

As the clan leader, she knew all too well what this meant!

With inherited memories, Elvish is indeed much easier to learn, but it's by no means something that can be mastered overnight.

The elves of the tribe typically need three to five years to communicate fluently in Elvish, more than ten years to read Elvish books and write common characters correctly, twenty or thirty years to write beautiful Vine script, and forty or fifty years to master the elegant Flowing Wind script.

As for the most complex form, the leaf vein form, which requires the most mental control, many elves still can't write it well even when they reach adulthood!
And this child... less than a day old! Not only can he clearly express his thoughts, but he can also accurately write in the vine-like elven script.

She grasped Moran's small hand in return, her grip slightly tight with intense excitement, but she immediately relaxed it, as if afraid of hurting this incredible child. Her voice trembled almost imperceptibly:

"Lord Tree Spirit... Child, I... I have never seen such a clever little elf as you!"

At this moment, Matilda finally realized that the children of the Tree of Life were fundamentally different from ordinary elves, and that she had to be more careful and more... tailor her teaching to each individual.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and asked in a more solemn tone, "Child, now that you have learned Elvish, have you thought of an Elvish name for yourself?"

Moran nodded, then extended his index finger again and wrote "Moran" in the same Elvish script on Mathilde's palm.

Mathilde murmured, "Moran..."

She pondered for a moment, a glint of admiration in her eyes, “'A Poem of Wisdom and Creation'?... What a wonderful name! The meaning of this name couldn't be more fitting for you!”

Looking into Moran's bright emerald green eyes, she understood that this child probably wouldn't need to go through a long period of basic learning like other elves.

“Moran,” Matilda called her name, her tone inquiring, “besides Elvish, have other things from your inherited memories—such as history, customs, art, and natural knowledge—appeared in your mind? Or rather, have they been unlocked?”

She asked very carefully, because although this knowledge exists in the inherited memories, it usually only becomes clear gradually, like the fog dissipating, as the little elf grows and is guided by the outside world.

Moran tilted her head and thought to herself, "I've unlocked everything. I had already systematically studied and organized this information when I was in the Cocoon of Life."

Mathilde was deeply shocked, but at the same time felt a sense of relief that "it should be this way".

She knows that the layers of knowledge blocking in the transmission of memories are actually a protective mechanism.

The blocking of complex knowledge such as language, history, art, and common sense is to prevent the fragile minds of young elves from being overwhelmed by the vast torrent of knowledge, leading to cognitive confusion or even mental damage.

The reason for sealing off all knowledge related to extraordinary professions and magic is to prevent elves from attempting advanced professional or magical training prematurely out of curiosity or impulse before their physical and magical levels are up to par, which would cause irreversible damage to their bodies.

Only when an elf grows older and their body naturally becomes strong enough to bear the corresponding level of knowledge will the seal on the inherited memories be opened layer by layer.

Moran was able to receive and master the basic inheritance related to language and common sense at the very beginning of her birth, which shows that her spiritual power was naturally so strong that it was unbelievable. The essence of her soul far exceeded the scope of a newborn elf!

"Grandma Chief, when will the knowledge related to extraordinary professions and magic in the inherited memories be unlocked?"

Moran wondered to herself, a question that had been lingering in her mind ever since she received the inherited memories.

In fact, the heritage she received and mastered goes far beyond what Grandma Mathil just listed.

Basically, she had systematically learned and mastered all knowledge outside of extraordinary professions and specific magical skills within the Cocoon of Life. (End of Chapter)
