Whispering Verse

Chapter 2844 Elf King

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 they have suddenly 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 react to the three people, so people only glanced at the three people walking out of the woods. Emilia, who was holding three chocobos, was not surprised by the cluster of tree houses. Her hometown also had such a scenery, and she seemed more interested in the 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 Danister temporarily used illusion magic to change herself into her original appearance, but judging from her hurried steps, it was obvious that she was not willing to talk to more people. But people passing by greeted her, and the librarian lady simply responded.

Shade also put on a simple disguise. His current identity is Miss Denister's student. He just didn't want to associate his identity as a ring wizard with the famous detective of Saint 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 Danister briefly exchanged greetings with the leading professor of St. Byrons, she saw the elf coming to greet the three of them. That was the middle-aged male elf who came to give Shade the [Ocarina of Time] in Moon Bay. It seemed that Emilia was very afraid of him.

The three chocobos were left in the ground camp, and they were immediately surrounded by the unicorns. This is a rule originated from the fifth era. When the witches go out to fight, the stronger mount will protect the weaker mount. This instinct is still passed down in the blood of unicorns after thousands of years.

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 the area. Wooden bridges and rope bridges extending in all directions around the building connect all parts of the camp. When Shade walked across the rope bridge and looked up at it, it was easy to see that this was definitely not a house where elves lived.

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 stories about the elves and the ancient moon god, and the windows of the buildings 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 Shade and then at Emilia. After he walked away, Amelia explained in a low voice:

"This is my uncle. He is a very serious man."

There is a large circular platform outside the "Senate 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 the scenery. But although other areas of the camp were very busy, there was no one here.

"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. This place originally seemed to have the dual functions of "temple" and "meeting hall", which can be seen from the murals on the ceiling, the silvery religious prayers on the walls, and the rows of seats.

It's just that the Nightsong elves probably took away the holy symbols and statues before leaving, so Shade didn't see the 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, there were many people besides Grandma Qisara, or to be precise, there were many elves.

Seeing Miss Danister pushing the door open, the elves who were communicating in low voices turned to look at the three of them. Shade noticed that all the elves here appeared in a group of three people. The leader must be the old elf, and the other two were 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 Emilia:

"You are still young, so you probably don't know them. These are the elf representatives of the Long Leaf Clan, Night Song Clan, Twilight Clan, Star Flower Clan, Frost Scar Clan, Wind Chaser Clan, Golden Core Clan, and Flower Speaker Clan."

Including the "Moon Creek Clan" where Grandma Qisara and Emilia are, there are a total of nine different elven clans. These old elves are all high-level, and although the highest level is still the twelfth ring, no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of these "old guys".

"Hello."

Emilia greeted all the elders present quite reservedly, still using the elven language, and Shade just nodded to them.

"Old friends, this is the child of our clan mentioned in the letter a few days ago, Emilia Sienod."

Grandma Qisara introduced to the elderly elves again, and then gestured 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 glimmer of the crown was still obvious even under the lights at night, and the thirteen gems dotted on the crown sparkled under the gaze of a pair of eyes.

The room was silent as if it was cast with a silencing spell in an instant, and Miss Danister and Shade retreated behind Emilia. Without anyone reminding her, Emilia mustered up the courage to say:

"This is the lost [Elven Kingship], and now the crown is in my custody."

Granny Qisala smiled with relief, and then asked the other elves:

"How about it, do you all believe it now?"

The old elf in a green robe that Shade didn't know adjusted his monocle, and his white beard almost reached his knees:

"Qisala, it's not that we didn't believe you before, but we were worried if we didn't see it with our own eyes."

He looked at Emilia carefully again:

"Although you are young, you look good. Child, don't be nervous. Since the crown is in your hand, we all admit that this treasure belongs to you."

He smiled slightly at Emilia. The crown in Emilia's hand nodded:

"But Qisara, now is not the distant Genesis. We are willing to gather together to witness the reappearance of [Elven Kingship], but it is probably not enough for us to recognize her as the Elven King by relying on this crown."

This was also expected by Mother-in-law Qisara, or before Emilia came, these elderly elves should have discussed the result, and this time it was just a formality:

"Emilia, in this era, our nine elven clans are the largest elven forces in existence. If you can get the recognition of the nine clans, then you are the Elven King of this era."

Miss Danister glanced at Shade, but Shade did not understand what her eyes meant. Emilia, holding the crown, didn't know what to say, but she didn't hesitate at all when facing the next question from Mother-in-law Qisara.

"Emilia, the child of time born in the Moon Creek, answer my question in front of the tree and the moon, and in front of many of your fellow elves: Are you willing to become the Elf King?"

"Yes!"

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 Whispering Poems, the end of the Sixth Era that will come."

Grandma Qisala asked the representatives of each clan:

"We specially asked Professor Danister to come here so that Saint Byrons can witness and know our decision. It has been many years since we all gathered together last time. Now the epic of the Sixth Era has turned to the eighth chapter. Dragons, elves, blood-sucking species, ancient races like us are also forced or actively involved in it, so it's time to make some changes--

As mentioned before, do you agree: If Emilia can become the heir of the Tree Father and obtain this noble status, then she is the contemporary Elf King!"

After a few seconds of silence——

"No problem."

"I admire the confidence of this young girl. Not many young people can confidently say that they want to be king while holding the crown."

"With the crown in hand and the recognition of the ancient gods, she is the king of the elves no matter what era."

"We are here to witness her trial. The elves will keep their promises and never regret it."

"It has never happened before that a young sapling becomes a king. She needs a trial to grow up."

"The world situation has changed too fast in the past two years. If you Yuexi can reunite the elves, it will be a good thing."

"We respect tradition the most. As long as she survives the story of the Chosen One of Time, 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' in Yuewan? The young people nowadays are really amazing."

The eight major clans expressed their opinions one after another, and of course the Yuexi clan itself would not have any objections. In this former gathering place of elves, the elders of the long-divided elf clans took out leaves or crescent-shaped jades and decorated them on the wreath held by Grandma Qisala.

So Emilia, who was not yet qualified to wear the certificate of royal power in front of all the elves, lowered her head and wore the crown:

"This is the proof that you will soon become king. Emilia of Yuexi, the story of the previous elf king has long been dissipated in the dust of history. Fate has chosen you, and you have also chosen fate."

The old elf looked at his offspring, who seemed to have wet the bed yesterday but can now protect others from wind and rain:

"I look forward to the day when you become a tree."
