That night the breeze blows across the forest, like the stars shining traces. The forest is crystal clear, like a girl's dream, light and sweet.
In my dream, Melfina looked at the village in the distance. After the prosperity of the past passed, there was only a piece of rubble. After the Double Holy Trees, Noumerin was no different from the empire in the past.
"I want to see the seeds of Terraka take root and sprout and flourish. We are also descendants of the Selected Ones, and there is no reason why we cannot get His approval again."
But the stars were silent, as if there was no sound to respond to her. Only the rustling wind was left, caressing the forest, as if the forest was still there and the grand scene was still there.
In that dream, she saw a boy, with the arrogant Miss Nightingale beside him.
"Your Highness, you should know that I don't want to be involved in the elves' internal affairs."
"Mr. Ed, I respect your character, but you say this is like a whim. Miss Edilla is the saint of the elf. It is impossible for you to take her away without getting involved in the trouble."
"But His Highness promised us to see her."
"That's just seeing her. I'm just a princess, not an elf king. Even if I'm an elf king, I can't directly give orders to the Holy Woods."
So what should be done?
"Melfina, the Saints' Chosen's request is to disband the Saints' Association."
An old voice echoed in the hall in an empty space.
The Elf King's Court did not have as many cumbersome rituals as secular dynasties. The only thing that maintains the elves is the identity of the goddess of nature. The Elf King wore an exquisite mitril silver crown and a gray robe with natural patterns on it. He only met his daughter in a hall.
The famous Tiruan gem was inlaid in the center of the crown, with the light of stars inwardly set off his increasingly old face.
Judging from his face alone, he was only middle-aged, but in reality he could see the traces left by time on it. This elf king has actually entered the final stage of his life. The elf will quickly grow old after losing the protection of the holy tree.
He has a handsome face, a white complexion, and three rings on his fingers. Each ring is full of powerful magic, some of which even inherited from the era of dragons and giants.
But there should have been four, and the remaining one is the famous eternal emblem, a gem carved from the heart of the holy tree, embedded on the ring face.
But since the second generation of the Elves King, after Tirian and Rotao got into evil, this gem that symbolizes the rift between the two tribes rarely appears in front of the world.
"Their reason is that the Saints Association did not belong to the Holy Woodlands, nor was it an organization under the royal court. Although its original intention was good, it brought a lot of trouble."
"The cultists took the opportunity to get into it and caused chaos. The disaster tree in the south, Ninimer and the turmoil at Silver Wind Harbor were all related to it, and there were also traitors in the Saints' Association."
"Those are just excuses for humanity," Melfina shook her head, "Father, even if the Elf Court wants to give in, it cannot be so easy, otherwise it will damage Alsana's reputation."
"I also think so," the Elf King nodded, "Humans want to use this to threaten us. Although the Saints Association has completed its historical mission, the unicorn girls are the guardians of the Holy Tree after all, and their reputation is also related to the Elf King's Court."
"They will come again today, but I no longer plan to discuss this issue with them. If they are willing to talk about cooperation in the disaster area, I can also send an envoy to receive them."
He paused, "Melfina, are you all saying true about the Grey Woods?"
Melfina nodded slightly.
The Elf King asked: "Do you think what the young man said is true? The gray field is not caused by the death of apoptosis. The goddess who is about to die, the Gemini lady who is naturally twinned by the twins of the gray woods, and there is still room for recovery?"
The Elf Princess couldn't help but think of the alone conversation that night.
"That's why I asked you to open the Holy Woods Blockade, Father."
"I know the Silver Wind Watchmen are so good, but what if they are wrong? The Rotao people won't help us, we can only rely on ourselves. I think he really knows what, let alone if he wants to bring the saint back, he must go to the Ash Woods."
"But you have also said that you saw the changes in the gray forest with your own eyes. If it weren't for the unpredictable changes in the Divine Realm, how could the disaster be so far?"
"But as the Selected Ones of the Silver Wind Watcher said, God's death is change, but change is not just God's death. If they guessed wrongly, it is not only them who lost in the Greyland of Gus."
"Let me think about it again, Melfina," the Elf King said nothing, "giving him a chance to go to the Tower of Spring Dawn is nothing. But it is okay to order the Holy Woods in the name of the Elf Court."
Melfina didn't refute. Of course, she didn't expect to achieve her goal at once.
She knew that her father was waiting for news from Ninemel, and not long ago, the Silver Wind Watcher told them that they had mastered the way to fight the gray area.
If those people say it is true, the pattern of the giant tree hill will undergo earth-shaking changes.
At this time, the other party is willing to abandon past grudges, pull the elf court into the car, and jointly deal with the Holy Woods. If you miss this opportunity, the elf court may face the same dilemma.
But they were not without a chance. The attack in Gus disaster area also made progress, as long as the news there was constantly coming back to verify the authenticity of her words.
Then one day her voice will be sufficient.
She still needs to wait.
But she could still wait, and it was unknown whether Fang Yu and the others could still wait. The attitude of the Saint Selected people made her feel a little doubtful.
She thought the main purpose of Silver Wind Watcher this time was the Saint Club, but it didn't look very similar. The other party raised this issue as soon as he came up, which was more like preparing for the subsequent concession.
What is their real purpose?
She had a vague premonition that she would see the truth later.
The door of the hall was being pushed open by the servants, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning shot through the round rose window. The Elf King planned to meet the envoys of humanity for the second time here.
Outside the hall is a courtyard full of flowers, everything seems full of vitality, as if the gray field has never ravaged this land, and the holy trees are healthy and lush.
A messenger who was sending a message through the courtyard was coming to tell others that the human envoy had set out from the garrison and would arrive in about half an hour.
Outside the hall are many upper-class elves and nobles. They are not as hierarchical as the human world and have hereditary titles, but most of them inherit ancient names.
When the Elf Princess saw Ailendor in the Sun Shadowland, the Elf Lord rarely appeared in Wang Ting on weekdays. She probably heard about the changes in the Ash Woods and the envoys of the Silver Wind Watcher, she hurried back.
He walked up and gave his former comrades a hug. He couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Elf King's face getting older, "My best friend, I'm late."
The Elf King smiled slightly, "It's not too late, humans are coming soon, let's see what they have made."
"Is the situation in the gray woodland really irreversible, forcing us to rely on mortals?" Alindor was a little dissatisfied and looked at the elf princess beside him, "Melfina, I heard that the news was brought back by you."
"Humanity is actually similar to ours in its progress against the disaster," Melfina replied lightly, "they are just bluffing."
"I hope so." Alindor nodded.
"I heard that they just brought greetings yesterday. Today is the main force of the envoy, led by a dragon knight," asked the Elf King, "Aren't they dealing with Ninimel, and they can actually give out an extra dragon knight?"
"The Selected Ones still have some energy in the Second World," replied Melfina, "just like us." In fact, even if the worst happens, the elves still have a final plan.
They will go to the Second World with a seed of a holy tree to see if they can try to plant a new holy white tree there, but the hope for this plan is slim. Since the collapse of the double holy tree, the holy tree has lost its vitality and the recreated seeds are also difficult to take root and sprout.
This is just a last resort.
When Melfina answered this, there were actually more doubts in her heart.
Silver Wind Watchers and Silver Wind Harbor Parliament are launching an offensive on the Ninimer frontline. At this time, every high-end combat power is precious. Even if you return from the Second World, is it necessary to use it in an envoy?
When she saw the human envoy, she couldn't help but feel a "knock". It was because the princess rarely lost her composure, because she saw not a dragon knight, but two.
The leading Dragon Knight is Heerxi. This is not surprising. The situation of the Giant Tree Hill and the Empire and Kaolin is different. The second division has always dominated the rest of the country. Other guilds must be listed under the twelve-colored Iris. It is normal to use them as representatives of the envoys.
Haierxi was dressed in military uniform and seemed to have just rushed back from the battlefield. He wore blue and white armor and battle robe, and a long cloak hung to the ground.
His eyes were calm and he was just silently looking for his unlucky sister, but this was the mission of the guild, so he could not favor himself. He could only hope that the other party had already learned the news in advance.
The dragon knight behind Haierxi was covered in pitch-black armor and his battle robe was golden and red. Melfina recognized the other party's identity at a glance - the Imperial man.
Or rather, she was the Saint Selected in the First Division, which made her realize immediately the identities of these visitors, and they were not the envoys of the Silver Wind Watcher.
But the commonly known guild alliance behind them.
The appearance of the two dragon knights made the atmosphere in the hall tense instantly, but it was just nervous. The elves have their own background and are not afraid of just two new generation dragon knights.
The Lord of the Sun Shadow Land, standing in the hall, was himself a dragon knight, or even an air knight, whose eyes were fixed on the two young men.
However, Haierxi did not make any special moves, but walked up to salute, "Dear allies, to the owner of the autumn forest and the king of the elf court, we bring greetings from Silver Wind Harbor."
"My human allies," the Elf King nodded and said slowly, "Dear Mr. Heerxi, I know your purpose, but if it is for the Holy Maiden Society, please go back. The unicorn girl is the guardian of the Holy Tree. From another perspective, their behavior was instructed by the goddess, and I have no right to interfere. This is the tradition of the Elf clan."
He directly rejected the topic, but not just refused. He had exchanged views with Melfina and could not compromise with humans so easily.
That is not conducive to their deeper plans. Humans have plans for this matter, and the elves are naturally not without any intentions. The elves have their own opinions on this.
But Melfina's eyebrows jumped, and she felt vaguely that things were not that simple.
Heerxi raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, we are abrupt in the Holy Maiden Association. But we did not come for this trip, but for another thing."
The Elf Princess's heart broke out. She came, and her premonition came true. She didn't expect the Silver Wind Watcher to suddenly attack and caught her off guard.
The proposal for the Saints Association was actually just their smoke bombs. So why did they shoot a fake shot? An incredible thought suddenly arose in her heart, it wouldn't be for...
But how is this possible? Is it more important to the Silver Wind Watcher's view than attacking the Saints Association?
Her eyes fell on the empire involuntarily, and then Melfina looked back at the Elf King, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak for a moment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As her mind turned sharply, the Elf King spoke: "Why did you come?" He was a little surprised, and there was a hint of confusion in his tone.
"The Council intends to form an alliance with the Elf Court, but we cannot join the enemy," Heerxi said, "A group of evil men wanted by the Council has entered the Elf Court now. As long as His Majesty is willing to hand over this group of evil men, the alliance between us will naturally be established and no other conditions are needed."
The Elf King was slightly stunned. He didn't know anything about the outside world. Of course, he knew who the other party was saying, but this requirement was far beyond his expectations.
"Oh?" he asked in confusion, "Is this group of evil men so important? You guys actually fight this war?"
What he thought of first was not requirements, but value.
What is the value of that young man that made the Silver Wind Watcher willing to give up so much interest and take down the other party.
"They sheltered the criminals, attacked Sangshak, and kidnapped a mountain lord," Heerxi said expressionlessly, as if he was reading a document. In fact, he was just reading a manuscript. "These are just public statements, Your Majesty, if we say we are here for this, you probably won't believe it."
"But we didn't intend to hide it. We came for another thing." He looked at another dragon knight beside him. "The one who wanted them was not Yinfeng Harbor, but the Guild Alliance. We were looking for another shadow behind them, Miya, the Witch of the Sea. There was rumors that this lady was acting with them."
The Elf King suddenly realized. Of course he had heard of that name. The Second World is so important to all parties. Although Covenant Mountain is only famous among the Selected Ones, he also heard of it.
But he didn't expect these people to come because of this. He sat on his throne and gently tapped the handrail with his hand, as if calculating the gains and losses in this.
There is a secret behind the Witch of the Sea, but that secret has nothing to do with the elves. He cannot include everything in his own interests. The Silver Wind Watcher has very good conditions. Can he agree?
What he cared about was not his daughter's opinion. The king had his own decision, and the other party would definitely consider this in this position. But the key question was whether the young man said to Melfina was true and credible?
There was a quiet sound in the hall.
Everyone is waiting for the king to make a decision.
But Melfina's heart sank. She knew her father too well. When the other party carried it out of the witch of the sea, the matter was irreversible. She did not expect that there would be such a turning point.
She didn't blame Fang Yu and the others for not telling her about this. After all, she knew the importance of this witch. It turned out that the other party was the one who took action that day.
But what should she do?
In theory, she should have given up at this time. After all, the conditions offered by Silver Wind Watcher were too generous, and she could hardly think of a reason to refuse.
But the elf princess still found a loophole.
All this is based on the premise that Fang Zhu and Silver Wind Watcher, which side said the truth, if the truth is true, if Fang Zhu told her in the woods that night.
Everything was not caused by the death of apoptosis, the twin of the forest goddess did not die, and the changes in the ash forest were not what people saw.
There is still another truth to everything.
Then the Silver Wind Watcher's plan for Ninimel is an empty talk. Their advantage is just a manifestation. The Elf Court stands with them and will only lead to a complete failure.
But who should she trust.
Melfina closed her eyes and made a decision. She rarely made such a reckless decision, but for some reason, she intuition told herself that she would regret it if she didn't make such a choice.
In a place where no one noticed it, the princess gently crushed a gem on her sword, and an almost invisible etheric ripple rippled out along a corner of the hall.
Only the elf king turned his head slightly and glanced at his daughter, but he did not object. The trick to maintaining power was to place bets on both ends. Melfina's actions gave him an answer instead.
He looked at Heerxi below and spoke, "The evildoers have always been intolerant by the elves. I do not know that such people have entered the autumn forest land, otherwise they should have handed over to the human allies of Silver Wind Harbor. However, if there is any news that they are staying here at this moment, I can send someone to assist you in the action."
"Thanks to Yisuke from his elves' allies, but you don't have to bother with your Majesty. We can confirm their location, just to obtain the consent of the master in advance." Haierxi replied in an official manner.
He wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped and turned around in one direction in front of everyone.
And beside him, another dragon knight from the empire also changed his face and looked in that direction.
Everyone felt a faint etheric fluctuation coming from afar, and this force was almost indefinitely unseen, but when it arrived at the hall, it still made every stone pillar in the hall buzz.
Princess Melfina changed her face again - the third dragon knight.
Then there is the fourth wave.
The fourth wave followed the third wave, just as a dragon knight suddenly exerted force and chased another dragon knight.
The fourth dragon knight.
Not only Melfina, but everyone in the hall was shocked, and the lord of the Sun Shadow Land raised his eyebrows because he recognized these two familiar auras.
"It's that woman Ming!"
The Empire Dragon Knight said angrily, "I really don't know why the Kaolin people sent her here. If I had known that she would have sent the message, the Rotao people would definitely not be able to see her!"
Haierxi said nothing, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the hall.
And his voice seemed to echo in the hall:
"I'm rude, your majesty."
At that time, Melfina received a message from her staff, and a line of text was cast into her communication crystal, which was a line of cipher text.
The content in the cipher text is asking her about her principles of doing things.
"Take them to the Hall of Light, hurry up," she entered quietly, "It will be too late any time."
Fortunately, Alsana gave them the sword.
I just hope that sword can come in handy.
