[Current World, Sixth Era, 1854, late autumn. The cold night wind blows through the treetops. In this season of approaching winter, the rustling of the giant trees under the stars is mixed with the clarion call of the ancient race to regroup.
The collapse of the kingdom has been a legend for thousands of years, and the contract between the ancient gods and the Elf King has long become a mottled myth. Now the saplings are still immature, but they have already drawn their swords and crowns, ready to unveil a new chapter. They are cared for and missed.
Dear stranger, do you regret that you led her into the torrent of fate; when the final choice comes, are you willing to put on the crown for her with your own hands?】
"What you said seems strange, but I will protect Emilia. Were you hinting at something just now?"
Shade's eyes reflected the figure of Emilia wearing a wreath and receiving blessings. Only Emilia knew that her ability to answer questions fluently now was not because of her confidence, but because not long ago, Shade was already in the library.
They hugged her and discussed this topic in that small corner. She was already prepared for him.
After the blessing ceremony, Grandma Qisara was very satisfied with tonight’s events:
"Emilia, this time the elven clans also sent their representatives to the Vista Woodland to help the Righteous Church deal with the trouble. The unicorns below were brought by everyone. I know you have your own
Plan, but if you need help, all the elves will help you."
"I know, mother-in-law, I will prove myself."
Emilia nodded slightly and carefully put away the crown she was holding, praising herself for her good performance in her heart.
Afterwards, Miss Danister chatted a few words with these old elves from different forces. The elves also knew that she would be assisting Emilia alone this time, so everyone was relieved.
However, Miss Daniste did not chat for too long, and left with Shade and Amelia. During this period, Shade did not say a word. Granny Chisara asked him to come just to witness this incident.
After all, the crown technically belongs to Shade.
After the three of them left, among the nine elf clans, the Frostscar clan, the Wind Chaser clan, the Jinrui clan and the Flower Whisperer clan, all of whom still believed in the Tree Father, all praised Emilia of Yuexi.
Young but really different.
Some of them also talked about the young man who came with Miss Danister, praising that young human being who was able to blend into the forest like an elf.
It was only then that the representative of the long-leaf elves, the old elf who looked even older than Grandma Chisara, finally asked:
"Kisara, who is the young man following Professor Daniste?"
Granny Chisara replied:
"Didn't I say that? That's Professor Danister's student. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be the next librarian of St. Byrons."
The old elf whom Miss Danist just called "Grandma Tirenas" said very cautiously:
"I saw pure moonlight from him."
The mainstream beliefs of the elves are roughly divided into two branches, namely the tree father and the moon god. Therefore, some people also use "tree elves" and "moon elves" to divide them. However, those were all things in ancient times. Nowadays, the elves do not have
Such a big difference.
The "Longleaf Elves" and the "Nightsong Elves" are both elf clans that believe in the ancient moon god. Even the first librarian of St. Byrons, Miss Bryony Olanold, has half-elf blood.
From the longleaf elves.
Not only Granny Tirenas saw this, but after hesitation, the old elf from the Yege clan, the former owner of this treehouse cluster, also nodded:
"Yes, I also saw pure moonlight on him, and the halo even seemed to be continuous and turned into firelight. It's really strange. Chisara, do you know his specific origin? I haven't heard of St. Byrons before.
There are young people like this.”
Of course the old elf would not tell the truth. She shook her head:
"That's Professor Daniste's student, and I can't ask too much. But Emilia has a pretty good relationship with him. This time Emilia is out and about, and Professor Daniste and the young man are protecting her together.
Her safety."
"Well, even though they are not elves, the moon and the trees look like they match well."
But someone raised a new question, that is, the elves of the Storm Chaser clan. Miss Danister’s elf bloodline comes from them:
"If I'm not mistaken, that young man has the blessing of time, right? Qisha, I don't care about the moon, but what is the relationship between that young man and trees and time? There are also elves among his ancestors, and now
Is he a return to his ancestors? I think he looks very handsome. Or maybe he is also a candidate this time?"
"He is not a candidate. As for his origin, it is probably nobler than the elves."
The clan representatives had different expressions, but no one commented on this sentence, because the blessing power on Shade was genuine.
The old elf mother-in-law Qisara then looked at everyone in the room:
"As long as you know, there will be absolutely no problem with Emilia by his side. With his help, Emilia will become the successor of the tree father and become the new big tree. Isn't this what we all hope for?
"
(Little Mia is running.)
Of course, Shade didn't know about the discussion behind him. After the three of them left the camp, they got on the chocobo surrounded by the unicorns, and finally persuaded the unicorns to "release" the chocobo.
Afterwards, he rode them back to the city.
When we returned to the third floor of the Accordion Hotel, the place had become quite lively. In addition to Granny Cassandra, the four great witches currently in the Vista Grove had gathered here, and even Luvia came.
She seemed to have slept well in the afternoon and no longer looked weak.
Including Dorothy and Agelina, everyone did not gather together to talk about serious topics. Instead, they stood in the living room of Flora's room and pointed at the five oil paintings displayed in a circle.
The moonlight wheel is thrown from the bell tower of the concert hall, the dance of three people across time at Collins Manor, the unicorn knight in the subspace of the coffin, the moonlight dragon above the Vesta Grove, and the silver wolf under the moon in the fire.
As they watched, Flora told the stories corresponding to the oil paintings, with a smile on her face that everyone could see. Carina was naturally there too, but she had her left arm folded in front of her chest, looking like a
It looked quite dismissive, after all, she could tell that this was Flora Winslet showing off.
However, seeing that Shad was back, Flora did not continue to display her works there. The maids tidied up the living room and prepared for everyone to have a meeting here, while Miss Danist turned around and returned to her room. She did not plan to attend the Witches' Council.
meeting.
Shade then sent her back. Although it was only a few steps away, she still had to have an attitude. After avoiding the witch, the red-haired girl in the corridor glanced at Shade with her rose-red eyes.
He sighed and said:
"Do you know what I just did? I found that I couldn't immediately tell how many people there were when I looked over, so I made a special effort to count them."
"this"
"I don't want to dissuade you again, but wasn't that scene a little too much? Don't tell me that there is someone in there who has not had an affair with you. I bet there must be someone in the group of beautiful girls wearing maid skirts who has also had an affair with you.
Your relationship is unusual."
"This is what it is."
She then shook her head violently, walked quickly towards her room, opened the door and walked in without looking back. Just when Shade thought she would see the door being closed, the red-haired girl suddenly
He turned around and asked:
"I'm really curious about how charming you are. Those witches don't seem to be easy to mess with."
"This story is a bit long, but in short I..."
He stopped talking not because he had nothing to say, but because his red lips were pressed against his lips. Shade opened his eyes wide and looked at the pair of rose-red eyes that were very close at hand, but those eyes soon went away:
"It's nothing special. I thought there was something special about your kiss."
The girl inside the door said, then waved to him:
"You don't need to disturb me after you finish the meeting later. I'm going to rest first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow"
The door was closed, but Shade did not leave immediately. Instead, he stretched out his hand to touch his lips, still a little confused about what just happened.
He was at a loss in the bright corridor, and in the dark living room across the door, the red-haired girl leaned her head against the door, blushing and unable to accept her bold behavior.
"It's really amazing."
A smiling voice came from the left. Shade turned his head and saw Luvia. The diviner lady did not make fun of the scene just now:
"I didn't expect that I just slept all afternoon, and so many things would happen here. In fact, you don't need to go to Moon Bay to disturb Bella in the afternoon. You can wake me up for divination."
"Just have a good rest, you will be very busy next time."
Shade shook his head:
"And after the meeting is over soon, aren't you going to help me hold a ceremony so that the power of 'Return of Time' can also take effect on me?"
The long sofa plus two short sofas can only seat five people, so the maids prepared comfortable cushioned chairs so that Shade and the girls can sit together in Flora's room.
Around the coffee table.
The current information about Vesta Grove and the current action plan compiled by Miss Bell were stacked on the coffee table. Tifa, Miss Swift and other maids stood behind the witches with saucers in their hands to serve.
Although it was a meeting attended by so many people, Shade did not fill the time with cumbersome opening remarks. After everyone sat down, he simply explained that Flora should transform into Emilia tomorrow, and then meet Emilia
A plan to become "bait" together to lure the [Tree Hole Association] to the bait.
No one else objects to this plan. Although the "speedsters" of the [Tree Hole Association] are quite troublesome, as long as they prepare in advance, no matter how fast they are, it won't be a problem.
Of course, Shade also mentioned what happened when he and Miss Danister went to the academy camp just now. Hearing that once Emilia becomes the eighth chosen one, it means that the power of the elves can also become his own power. Luvi
Ya then seemed even more concerned:
"But the elves are not needed for tomorrow's affairs. This power should be used at the most appropriate time."
