Chapter 0617: The Legend of the Blood Moon
Jialan Continent.
As the only two large landmasses in the Faun plane, the Jialan Continent is also a beautiful world rich in resources and many creatures.
As far as the eye can see, the entire Jialan Continent is overturned by the lush and dense forest sea.
The ancient trees in the forest are tall and vigorous, often tens of meters high, and the huge canopy that stretches out is often the size of an acre. The branches and leaves on the trunk of the ancient tree are swaying, the vines are coiled, and all kinds of colorful unknown and exotic birds stand on the branches and sing happily. The bushes of ferns and shrubs that flourish under the trees fill the quiet and dark woodland space to the brim, making it difficult to find any place to stay.
Ordinary people can hardly move an inch in such a magical forest!
This is a remote area of the Jialan Continent near the coastline.
The tall ancient trees only looked a little sparse here, and even their size was much lower than that of the interior. The edge of the coastline is full of steep cliffs and large reefs, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks washing the shore is deafening.
The sparkling surface of the undulating sea, the blue sea, the blue sky, the green water, the endless forest sea, and the roar of apes and tigers in the forest from time to time, the beautiful natural scenery is pregnant with vigorous vitality and hope.
However, at this moment, several black spots suddenly appeared in the depths of the forest sea in the distance, sticking to the undulating treetops, and quickly came to this coastline from far and near.
This is a team of silver Pegasus knights unique to the Elven Kingdom.
The delicate and muscular elven knight rode on top of a pair of tall horses with a pair of wide wings covered in a layer of light and soft silver soft armor on the surface of their bodies.
Silver Pegasus is the same as its name, the entire body surface is shining with silver light, and it can be clearly seen from dozens of miles of mountains and forests. The four flat hooves, the long silver mane, the sturdy body of the divine horse, and the pair of wide wings that can fly freely in the blue sky against the wind......
This pegasus is a magical beast born near a special magic spring in the depths of the Magic Forest, with the shape of a horse, the speed of an eagle, and the noble and elegant temperament of a unicorn. Therefore, the forest elves deliberately domesticated this magical beast and used them as mounts for some high-ranking knights, forming the most stylish flying unit in the elven kingdom - Silver Lightning.
They may not be as fierce and combative as griffins, nor as powerful as horned hawks, but they have the fastest flight speed and the most stylish appearance in the Jialan Continent.
Well, okay, Lafeng's appearance may not be helpful in battle, but the Silver Pegasus Knight was still elected as one of the most beloved combat classes among elven girls in the Elven Kingdom. Hardly a fairy girl could refuse the Silver Pegasus Knight's invitation to walk through the woods and admire the forest.
So in every way, the Silver Pegasus Knight is the most elite and the most favored iconic class in the Elven Court!
Normally, the Silver Pegasus Knights and their reserve troops, the Pegasus Knights, would only patrol around the Elven Court, and rarely patrol such a remote coastline. And their presence here today means that there must be an important member of the royal family staying nearby.
Here came two Silver Pegasus Knights and three Reserve Pegasus Knights.
When the silver Pegasus flew to the edge of the forest sea, three meters away from the treetops at his feet, the silver Pegasus knight led by him gently pressed the horse's back and jumped down from it in the air.
In order to reduce the burden on the mount as much as possible when riding the silver pegasus, the silver pegasus knights generally only wear some light silver soft armor, light weapons, and carry a small number of throwing spears and a large number of arrows in the leather bag on the horse's back.
At this time, the silver Pegasus did not slow down, and with one wing, he stepped on all four hooves and rushed into the sky, and the silver Pegasus knight fell lightly.
The Silver Pegasus Knight was clearly the lightest and most agile in the world, and his sturdy body stepped on a thick branch before leaping up and down, and then landed firmly on a high cliff at the edge of the coastline with a few flips.
"Hegus, wait for me......"
The other Silver Pegasus Knight who came with him obviously did not have such a sensitive body and soft body movements, so he could only tap the Silver Pegasus under him twice and circle the sky, and then flapped his wings and slowed down and hovered over the high cliff.
It was only then that the Silver Pegasus Knight cautiously jumped to the top of the cliff.
Landing a little heavier, the silver leather boots stepped on the edge of the high cliff, and immediately countless gravel tumbled and crashed down the high cliff, falling into the foamy waves and reefs.
Inadvertently, a cold sweat broke out, and Hidaris, who was following the attendance for the first time, gently patted his chest a few times to stabilize his breathing, and then strode to the side of Hegus.
At this time, the first silver Pegasus knight to jump down had already pulled out a monocular glowing with silver brilliance and began to silently scan the sea level in the distance.
"Hegus, you have so much courage...... You'd dare to jump off that high...... Aren't you afraid of falling into the sea to feed the fish?" Cindaris smacked his cheeks as he peered over the undulating waves and the dark and terrible reef below, and slapped his chest again.
With such a height and such a dense reef, you will definitely be crushed if you fall!
Losing the knight's control, the two silver pegasus happily chased and frolicked each other on the nearby treetops, while the other three Pegasus knights drove the newly domesticated pegasus and found a clearing nearby to descend, silently waiting for the orders of the two knights.
As the noble silver Pegasus knight of the elven clan, whether it is Sidaris or this Hegus, they are all typical handsome and beautiful men. They are tall, muscular, ruddy-complexion, with long, grass-green hair, soft ears, and blue eyes.
They wore a light silver soft armor with skirt armor of the same color, a pair of silver leather boots on their feet, and two silver scimitars around their waists.
Hidaris has slightly fair skin, and there is a slight childishness on his delicate and perfect face. His eyes are bright and sparkling, with an unforgettable air of lively sunshine. And although that Hegus is equally handsome, his face is slightly stiff, and his gestures have a hint of coldness and ability unique to iron-blooded soldiers.
Hidaris muttered a few more words in a low voice, but he never received a response from his companion, and couldn't help but ask curiously and loudly, "Hegus, what's wrong? There is no sea fog today, you can see anything on the sea at a glance, what are you still trying to look at? Are you worried about those human slave catchers?"
Hegus silently put down his glasses and said in a solemn voice: "I'm not worried about humans, but ...... Those witches ......"
Hearing his companion's reply, Hidaris blinked as if he didn't understand.
"I've heard about it too...... This year has come again when the 'witch plague' has erupted, and those witches are afraid that they will come to harass us from far and wide...... The last few times have been much better, though. Those witches seem to have known how powerful we are, and have invested their main forces on the human side, and our losses these few times are not huge......"
Compared to Hidaris's indifference, Hegus was a little worried.
"Hidaris, you don't know......" Hegus hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I went to find the priest of Tia a few days ago......"
As soon as he heard the name 'Tia', Hidaris immediately became nervous and roared in a low voice, "You are crazy...... How dare you touch that female lunatic...... Don't you know that some people have already called Tia the Black Witch behind their backs, and it is said that the Council of Elders is ready to vote to expel that Tia from the Enchanted Forest...... Are you going to contact her at this time because you want to be targeted by the Council of Elders?"
"Hidaris, calm down, calm down...... Listen to me......" Hecus sighed, "I do not think that the actions of the priest of Tia have done anything wrong. ”
"Haven't done anything wrong? As a child of the great god Saoirse, she's gone to study the power of those otherworldly witches, this ...... Isn't that a huge mistake?"
"But those hateful witches have been invading our world for a thousand years, and have we banished them? No, not before, not now, and probably not in the future...... Why? Either they possess far more magical powers than we do, or they call witchcraft strange magic......"
Hegus gasped.
"What if...... If we can really let the people of Saoirse learn those powerful 'witchcraft' as Priest Tia envisioned, we forest elves may really be able to become the rulers of the plane of Faun......"
Listening to Hegus's explanation, Hidaris couldn't help but shake his head frequently.
"Hegus, I see that you have also been deceived by the priest of Tia...... Don't believe her rhetoric...... What 'there is no good or evil in power', and what 'depends only on whose hands this power is'...... Don't trust her, Hegus...... I think there are really good and bad forces in the world, good and evil. Witches may be powerful, but they can demagoguery and corrupt hearts, otherwise how could they do so many evil and terrible things!"
Hegus was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again.
"Don't you want to hear what the priest of Tia has gained after studying the books left behind by the dead witch for so long?"
Listening to the other party's extremely heavy tone, a hint of foreboding swelled in the heart of Cidaris.
"What did she tell you?"
She said that the witches who had invaded our world before were just offshoots of a larger force in that terrible wizarding world. And the 'witch plague' that has become more and more frequent over the years probably shows that the witch power over there seems to have changed, and more and more witches have entered our world!"
Hidaris couldn't help but swallow his saliva with difficulty, and asked worriedly, "So what does this indicate?"
"It shows that our world has become the main target of the other side, and this year's witch plague is likely to have an even more terrifying and evil enemy......! Tia said she saw the Blood Moon...... "At the end, Hegus was almost clutching his companion's shoulders and growling.
Blood Moon ......
Hidaris's face immediately turned pale.
