The Witcher: Elemental Lords

“That's a human custom. We elves are children of the earth and don't need such things.” Behind the elven leader, an elf, seemingly unable to bear Dorlay's words, suddenly spoke out.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several elven elders changed abruptly. At the same time, Dorlay also looked in that direction with some surprise.

They all turned to look and saw a Holy Maiden. Her gaze was extremely aloof, and her appearance was stunning, making her stand out even among the other Holy Maidens.

The elderly High Priest turned his head and glanced at Avdia. Avdia looked back, and the elven maiden who had spoken's face instantly turned pale green. She took two steps back, falling behind the other two.

Seeing this, Dorlay said nothing. After all, they were different races with different beliefs, which was normal.

Seeing that Avdia was about to lose her temper, Dorlay sighed softly and spoke first, saying, “Compared to the children now, my childhood was much more miserable. My parents were not by my side, and I traveled thousands of miles alone at the age of thirteen or fourteen, from the Northern Kingdom to the Glory Empire. Only then did I slowly achieve what I have today. In comparison, my children are indeed much happier.”

Hearing Dorlay's words, the elves were all moved.

Avdia looked at Dorlay and bowed slightly. Her height was almost the same as Dorlay's, even slightly taller.

“Wizard Dorlay's growth history is indeed a legend, and others have no right to comment. We are not discussing these things today. The reason for inviting Wizard Dorlay this time is first to express our gratitude, as the dark elves have caused us great trouble, and second, to establish diplomatic relations with Albis City, led by Wizard Dorlay. These are the two main things. Wizard Dorlay's expertise in the field of potions and his contributions to potionology are worthy of everyone's learning.”

Dorlay blinked and smiled faintly, “These things are not worth mentioning. Let's not talk about the first thing. As for the second thing, we can indeed cooperate. I personally admire the achievements of your elven race in potionology.”

Avdia smiled slightly, “Please come in.”

Aishe and Elreia walked inside without saying a word.

Although both were outstanding women of the human race, among the elves, there were many others just as outstanding. At least those Holy Maidens were almost as outstanding as them, with excellent aptitudes and outstanding strength. They had nothing to boast about.

It is said that elves have long lifespans, but these people didn't know exactly how long.

On the other hand, the three children were looking around at this time, enjoying themselves immensely. For them, having lived on the plains for a long time, suddenly being in a treehouse-like structure was very novel.

Moreover, elves love beautiful things, and there were many exquisite things around, dazzling the two children.

As for Locke, who was in his arms, he was powerless at this time and had already fallen asleep. He was only sixteen days old.

Dorlay took the lead and walked in. Beside him were Avdia and the High Priest. Although Dorlay was only at the eighth level and didn't deserve to be accompanied by the two leaders, they were the only ones who knew that Dorlay truly had the combat power of the ninth level.

The other elves were slightly puzzled.

The elves were very quiet. They walked in without anyone speaking. The elf who had spoken earlier was even more afraid to speak.

From Dorlay's words just now, she had heard a message: his current achievements were not dependent on his family or parents, but entirely on himself. She had completely misunderstood him and was now feeling guilty.

Moreover, her stepping back two steps was equivalent to her ranking among the Holy Maidens being lowered by two, and her heart was filled with fear.

As soon as they walked in, they saw a huge living room-like room, filled with soft light and various scenic items placed around.

As soon as Dorlay walked in, on the ground in the middle of the room, branches grew up from the ground, quickly forming a round conference table, and chairs grew beside the conference table.

This strange scene made Monica and Brian stare in amazement, without blinking.

Monica ran to Aishe's side and whispered, “Mommy, what is that? A tree turned into a table?”

Aishe lowered her head and whispered, “Under your feet is an Elder Tree of the Elves. It can turn into anything. Don't be surprised.”

Monica seemed to understand.

While the two were talking, on the ground beside the conference table, branches grew out, intertwining and quickly becoming as tall as a person.

These branches quickly turned into a humanoid creature. Before long, a lifelike wooden figure appeared on the ground.

Just as Monica was surprised, the wooden figure opened its eyes, and then the branches under its feet left their original position and walked towards them.

Dorlay was also a little surprised. He saw an Elven Tree.

As soon as the Elven Tree came out, it looked at Dorlay and slowly said, “Welcome, Wizard Dorlay. I am the Elven Tree, Adra. Welcome, ladies.”

Dorlay bowed slightly in surprise, and Aishe and Elreia also returned the bow with some surprise.

“You're too kind, Elder Adra.”

Adra looked at Dorlay and smiled slowly, “Adra welcomes you on behalf of the Tree of Life. After this, the Tree of Life wants to meet you. The Fire Phoenix has already told the Tree of Life about you, and the Tree of Life sincerely invites you.”

Dorlay raised an eyebrow, nodded, and solemnly said, “Okay, I understand.”

Adra stood aside, clearing the way, and said nothing more.

Avdia looked at Adra, then at the High Priest, feeling a little puzzled. Could it be that Wizard Dorlay's arrival also had something to do with the Tree of Life?

The High Priest only looked back at her and shook his head gently, transmitting his voice, “Wizard Dorlay's arrival is indeed the meaning of the Mother Tree, but it's not as complicated as you think.”

Avdia had only recently taken over the elven race and didn't know many things.

Soon, everyone sat down.

The High Priest sat in the main seat, and Avdia sat in the second seat.

After chatting for a while, Avdia said, “How about this, let's first have Wizard Dorlay stay with us. Tomorrow, we will take you and the two ladies to visit our elven race, and the day after tomorrow, we will discuss the matter of cooperation. What do you think?”

…

Coming to the elven race, Dorlay thought of many things. The first was the matter of the transaction. So far, he hadn't been given the reward. The second should be cooperation. He didn't expect that the Tree of Life also had something to say.

After settling down, Dorlay was actually very interested in everything around him.

They were settled on another Elven Tree. Flying all the way over, the three adults and two children focused their attention on the surroundings.

The trees were tall and straight, surrounded by lush greenery, and the air was filled with the scent of plants, fresh and unusual. The distance between the trees was very suitable.

On the surrounding trees, there were various buildings of different types. Along the way, they saw many elves.

In the treehouse, they only saw female elves. When flying over, they could see male elves. Similar to the female elves, the male elves were also exceptionally handsome, but their strength was slightly weaker.

The trees were layered from the ground to the high places. The elves moved between the trees, basically relying on their strength to jump from one tree to another. Only low-level elves would walk on the ground.

In addition, there were many elves, very many.
