The Whispering Verses Chapter 2845: Elf King
Chapter 2844 Elf King
The scene of continuous tree houses under the moon, fireflies and 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 treehouses 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 forest. 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 squinted her eyes and followed Miss Daniste as she continued to move forward. Although the three chocobos were curious about this place, they still followed obediently. she.
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."
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.
Shad also made a simple disguise. His current identity is Miss Denister’s student. He just doesn’t want to associate his identity as a ring warlock with the famous detective of Saint Teresa Square, so he doesn’t really use His own face appears.
Of course Granny Keesara lives in a tree house on a tree, so she sent someone to greet the three of them.
After a brief exchange of greetings with the leading professor of St. Byrons, Miss Danister 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 then 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 where it is located 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 looked 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. After knocking on the door, she pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Shade and Amelia followed closely behind.
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 addition to Grandma Qisara, there were many people in such a large room. To be precise, there were many elves.
Seeing Miss Danister push the door open and come in, 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 Emilia next to him tense up, while Miss Danister, 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 Qisara came over and introduced Shade and Amelia:
"You are still young people, so you probably don’t know each other. These are the elves from the Longleaf Clan, Nightsong Clan, Twilight Clan, Starflower Clan, Frostscar Clan, Wind Chaser Clan, Golden Rui Clan, and Flower Whisperer Clan. Representative."
Including the "Moon Creek Clan" where Granny Kesara and Emilia belong, there are a total of nine different elven clans here. The old elves headed by these are all high-level. Although the highest level is still the twelfth level, no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of these "old guys".
"Hello."
Emilia greeted all the elders present in a rather reserved manner. Elvish was still used here, 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 Chisara 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 shimmer of the crown is still obvious even under the night light, and the thirteen gems dotted on the crown shine under the gaze of pairs of eyes.
The room fell silent as if a silencing spell had been cast for an instant, and both Miss Danister and Shade retreated behind Amelia. Without anyone needing to remind her, Emilia mustered up the courage and said:
"This is the lost [Elven Kingship], and now I keep the crown."
Grandma Chisara 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 don't feel at ease until we see 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 Keshara, 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 admit her as the Elf King, I am afraid it will still be difficult. Not enough.”
Grandma Chisara’s words were also expected, 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 she didn't hesitate at all when faced with Granny Chisara's next question.
"Emilia, the child of time who was born in 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?"
"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...to fight together against the end of "The Whispering Cantos" and the coming ending of the Sixth Age."
Granny Keesara asked the representatives of each clan again:
"Professor Danister is here specifically to let St. Byrons witness and know our decision. It has been many years since the last time we all gathered together, and now the epic of the Sixth Age has turned Chapter 8: Dragons, elves, vampires, and ancient races like ours are also being forced or actively involved, so it’s time to make some changes——
According to what I said before, do you agree: If Emilia can become the heir of the Tree Father and gain 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 that a young sapling has become a king. She needs a trial to make herself grow."
"The world situation has changed too fast in the past two years. If you, Yue Xi, can reunite the elves, this will also be a good thing."
"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 the Yuexi clan itself certainly 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 decorated them on the wreath held by Grandma Qisara.
So Emilia, who was not yet qualified to wear a certificate of royal power 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 was now able to protect others from the wind and rain:
"I look forward to the day when you become a tree."
