The scene of continuous tree houses under the moon, fireflies and balls of light flying together, and unicorns walking in the forest is quite fantasy. Anyone who suddenly sees such a scene in a dense forest far away from the city will think that it has suddenly come.
Arrived in another world.
There seemed to be a lot of people coming from the three major colleges this time. The tree houses in the trees were all lit with lights, and there were also many ring warlocks in the ground camp tending to the campfires, arranging action plans for tomorrow or simply catching up with acquaintances.
The warning ceremony outside the elf camp did not respond to the three people, so people just glanced at the three people walking out of the forest. Emilia, who was holding three chocobos, was not surprised by the cluster of tree houses.
Her hometown also has the same scenery, and she seems to be more interested in those unicorns.
"Are these all St. Byron's unicorns?"
Shade asked her in a low voice. Emilia narrowed her eyes and followed Miss Daniste as she continued to move forward. Although the three chocobos were curious about this place, they still followed her obediently.
She looked at it for a while before shaking her head:
"No, I only know some of these unicorns, and the others don't live in the academy."
At this time, Miss Daniste temporarily used illusion magic to change herself into her original appearance. However, judging from her hurried steps, it was obvious that she was not willing to talk to more people. However, people passing by said hello to her. Book
The library administrator simply responded.
Shade also put on a simple disguise. His current identity is that of Miss Denister's student. He just didn't want to associate his identity as a ring wizard with the famous detective of St. Teresa Square, so he didn't really use his own face.
Appear.
Of course Granny Keesara lived in a tree house in the tree, so she sent someone to greet the three of them.
After Miss Danist briefly exchanged greetings with the leading professor of St. Byrons, she saw the elf coming to greet the three of them. It was the elf who came to give Shade [Ocarina of Time] from Moon Bay.
A middle-aged male elf, it seems that Emilia is very afraid of him.
The three chocobos were left in the ground camp, and then they were immediately surrounded by the unicorns. This is a rule derived from the fifth era. When the witches go out to fight, they are protected by stronger mounts.
Weaker mounts, after thousands of years of unicorn blood, still inherit this instinct.
And the middle-aged elf actually led the three of them all the way up, and finally arrived at the highest building in the center of the tree house camp.
This building is located in the core area of the entire camp, and the tree it is located on is also the tallest tree in this area. There are wooden bridges and rope bridges extending in all directions around the building connecting the various parts of the camp, and when Shade walked across the rope bridge and looked up at it
, it is easy to see that this is definitely not a house where elves live.
Compared to a house, the exterior wall of this building is decorated with green and gold murals, and the tent-shaped building is more like a "meeting hall" or "conference hall." Because the Nightsong elves believe in the moon god, most of the murals are elves.
The story about them and the ancient god of the moon, and the windows of the building are also in the shape of a crescent moon, which is rare in human society.
Although Shade didn't quite understand, Emilia obviously understood the meaning of this kind of building, so she immediately became more nervous.
"Professor, mother-in-law and the others are waiting for you inside."
The elf who led the way said, then glanced at Shad, and then at Emilia. After he walked away, Emilia explained in a low voice:
"This is my uncle. He is a very serious man."
There is a large circular platform outside the "Meeting Hall". At this moment, torches are inserted on the edge of the platform for lighting. It is actually very nice to stand here to admire the moon or watch the scenery. But other areas of the camp are obviously very lively, but it is empty here.
one person.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what you are doing."
The sorceress said to the two young men behind her, knocked on the door, pushed open the wooden door and walked in, followed closely by Shade and Emilia.
The internal area of the "Meeting Hall" is quite large, but it is not divided into spaces. Once you enter the door, you can see the whole place. It seems to have the dual functions of "temple" and "meeting hall". This can be seen from the ceiling.
The murals, the silvery religious prayers on the walls and the rows of seats can all be seen.
It's just that the Nightsong elves probably took away the holy symbols and statues before leaving, so Shade didn't see any religious artifacts for the time being.
The indoor lighting is those crystal lamps on the walls. Shade has seen similar lamps more than once in the fifth era, but this is the first time in this era.
In such a large room, besides Granny Keesara, there were many people, or to be precise, there were many elves.
Seeing Miss Danister pushing the door open, the elves who were communicating in lowered voices turned to look at the three of them. Shade noticed that all the elves here appeared in groups of three, with the leader among them.
The one must be an old elf, and the other two are middle-aged elves or slightly younger old elves.
He could clearly feel that Emilia beside him tensed up, while Miss Daniste, who was walking in front, raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by this scene:
"Mr. Avesel, Mr. Kerest, Grandma Silas, Grandma Tirenas, why are you here too?" (Elvish)
She called out the names of many elves in succession, and Granny Chisara came over and introduced Shade and Amelia:
"You are still young people, so you probably don't know each other. These are the elven representatives of the Longleaf Clan, the Nightsong Clan, the Twilight Clan, the Star Flower Clan, the Frostscar Clan, the Wind Chaser Clan, the Golden Rui Clan, and the Flower Whisperer Clan."
In addition to the "Moon Creek Clan" where Grandma Chisara and Emilia belong, there are a total of nine different elven clans here. The old elves headed by these are all high-level elves, although the highest level is still the twelfth level.
, but no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of these "old guys".
"Hello."
Emilia greeted all the elders present in a rather reserved manner. The language still used here was Elvish, while Shade just nodded to them.
"Old friends, this is the child of our clan mentioned in the letter a few days ago, Emilia Siam Nord."
Grandma Qisara introduced to the elderly elves again, and then motioned to Emilia:
"Take that out."
Emilia immediately touched her right arm, took out the crown hidden on her arm and held it in her hand. The silver shimmer of the crown was still obvious even under the night light, and the thirteen stars dotted on the crown
The gems sparkle under the gaze of pairs of eyes.
The room became quiet as if a silencing spell had been cast for an instant. Miss Daniste and Shade both retreated behind Amelia. Without anyone reminding her, Amelia mustered up the courage to say:
"This is the lost [Elven Kingship], and now I keep the crown."
Grandma Qisara showed a happy smile, and then asked the other elves:
"How about it, do you all believe it now?"
The old elf in green robes whom Shade didn't recognize adjusted his monocle. His white beard almost reached his knees:
"Kisara, it's not that we didn't believe you before, it's just that we didn't feel at ease until we saw it with our own eyes."
He looked at Amelia carefully again:
"Although he is young, he looks very good. My child, don't be nervous. Since the crown is in your hands, we all admit that this treasure belongs to you."
He nodded slightly to the crown in Emilia's hand:
"But Qisara, this is no longer the distant Genesis Era. We are willing to gather together to witness the reappearance of [Elven Kingship], but if we want to rely on this crown to make us recognize her as the Elf King, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Granny Chisara had expected these words, or in other words, these elderly elves should have already discussed the outcome before Emilia arrived, and it was just a formality at this time:
"Emilia, in today's era, our nine elf clans are the largest elf force in existence. If you can be recognized by the nine clans, then you will be the elf king of this era."
Miss Danister glanced at Shade, but Shade didn't understand what her look meant. Emilia, who was holding the crown, didn't know what to say, but when faced with Granny Chisara's next question, she completely
No hesitation.
"Emilia, the child of time born from Moon Creek, answer my question under the witness of the tree and the moon, and under the witness of many of your kind: Are you willing to become the Elf King?"
"willing!"
She looked at the old elves who were looking at her, her emerald green eyes were very firm:
"I want to unite everyone, and then fight together against the end of "", the ending of the Sixth Age."
Grandma Qisara asked the representatives of each clan:
"Professor Danister is here specifically to let St. Byrons witness and know our decision. Many years have passed since the last time we all gathered together, and now the epic of the Sixth Era has turned to its eighth chapter.
Chapters, dragons, elves, vampires, and ancient races like ours are also being forced or actively involved in it, so it’s time to make some changes——
According to what was said before, do you agree: If Emilia can become the heir of the tree father and obtain this noble status, then she will be the contemporary Elf King!"
After a few seconds of silence——
"no problem."
"I admire this young girl's confidence very much. Not many young people can hold the crown and confidently say that they want to be the king."
"With the crown in hand, and the recognition of the ancient gods, she is the king of elves no matter what era."
"We are here to witness her trial. The elves keep their promises and will never regret it."
"It has never happened before for a young sapling to become a king. She needs a trial to let herself grow."
"The world situation has changed too fast in the past two years. It would also be a good thing if you, Yue Xi, can reunite the elves."
"We respect tradition the most. As long as she survives the story of the chosen one, we will recognize her even if she does not become the chosen one. After all, we still have to give young people room to grow."
"I just heard that she pulled out the 'Sword of Light' when she was in Moon Bay? Young people today are really amazing."
The eight major clans expressed their opinions one after another, and of course the Yuexi clan itself had no objections. In this former gathering place of elves, the elders of the long-divided elven clans took out leaves or crescent-shaped jade stones, and put these into
Dot it on the wreath held out by Granny Keesara.
So Emilia, who was not yet qualified to wear the certificate of royal authority in front of all the elves, lowered her head and wore the crown:
"This is the testimony that you are about to become a king. Emilia of Moon Creek, the story of the previous Elf King has long been lost in the smoke and dust of history. Fate has chosen you, and you have chosen your destiny."
The old elf looked at his descendants, as if the little elf who wet the bed yesterday could now protect others from the wind and rain:
"I look forward to the day when you become a tree."
