"Mom, play with me!"
……
"Mom, who are they?"
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom's ......"
“!!!”
Korakola woke up from her dream, covered in cold sweat, and even the skull on her head was drenched in sweat. Blankly looking around, when everything in the room came into view, the thoughts scattered by the dream gradually returned to place. Suddenly, two lines of tears slipped from the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes involuntarily cast out of the window, to the tallest building in the town, the tower of the elves, which stood in the distance.
Her eyes were full of the image of the Elven Tower, but Korakola's eyes were scattered and confused, and her mind was full of another familiar figure. With the flow of tears, the figure gradually became clear, but unfortunately, the impression can only stay in the bottom of the heart, even if the thoughts are deep, it is in vain.
"Mom, I miss you!"
The door of the room quietly opened a small gap, and a kind old man stood outside the door, making a gesture to enter, but he stopped and shook his head slightly, leaving a slight sigh.
The long journey along the seaside is finally coming to an end. Seeing the mountains stretching vertically and horizontally into the sea in the distance, Wang Sheng understood that Ziyuan Town had arrived.
Shion Town, located in the eastern coastal area of the Kanto region, is surrounded by a section of mountains to the north. From the map, it is the remnant of the northern mountain range of the entire Kanto region. Although it is not as well-known as Mt. Tsukimi, which is also part of the mountain range, the location of Shion Town is also unique in that the scenery of mountains and seas is unique.
Here, the town of Aster is surrounded by mountains in the north and the sea in the east. The location is quite good. It is strange that Ziyuan Town is not famous for its prosperity in tourism, and it is not famous for its developed water transportation, and its fame is concentrated in one building in the town, that is, the Elf Tower.
In the Tower of the Elves. There are a large number of tablets of deceased elves, and it is a specific place for humans to focus on mourning and paying tribute to their deceased elven companions. Legend has it that this seven-story tower was once the home of a powerful lord and his favorite elves. In order to give their elves a good living environment, but also to show their wealth and power. The lord did not hesitate to build such a tower, which at the time seemed unattainable, and decorated its interior with such a luxurious decoration that everyone who visited it was amazed.
However, the lord's second goal may have been achieved, but the first goal was not achieved, and his elves did not seem to care about the dazzling surroundings, but most of them seemed a little depressed, and even the lord himself could not be happy.
A lord may be impeccable about his elves. But he did not see the slightest trace of his treatment of his elves to the people under his rule, all kinds of harsh taxes and forced labor. He was so overwhelmed that he was completely unaware of his mistakes, and he openly declared complacently: "It is the trick of politics to keep the people alive and dead!"
Until one day, one of the lord's elves suddenly disappeared, and he was furious. He ordered the territory under his rule to be turned upside down, and still nothing was gained. In a fit of rage. He gave a ridiculous and inhuman order: let everyone stop what they were doing and all go out to find the missing elf for him!
Originally. Under the rule of this lord, the life of the people in the entire territory is already miserable, but in any case, life can at least go on, although it is only a ray stronger than the people's livelihood, and they can still live. However, such an absurd order means that farmers cannot farm, fishermen are not allowed to fish, woodcutters are difficult to collect firewood, and traders have nowhere to operate.
So, like a spark falling into an oil pot, the unbearable people launched a large-scale riot, and almost everyone except the lord and his cronies participated.
The enraged people overthrew the tyrannical lord, confiscated all the wealth he had scavenged from the people, burned the mansions of the impoverished lords, and removed them from the beautiful rooms of the towers. However, the tower itself was fortunately preserved because it was built of solid masonry, and I don't know when it became a place for people to place the tablets of the deceased elves.
Time passed, the origin of the Elven Tower, after generations of oral tradition, has long been unknown how far from the original truth, even the lord's beloved elf is no longer known, only the vicissitudes of the Elven Tower still stand there, on the only hillside in the whole town, condescendingly overlooking the town.
At this moment, the three of Wang Sheng were staying in the elf center of Ziyuan Town, listening to Miss Joy introduce various interesting legends in the town, including the Elven Tower.
Miss Joy here seems to be a bit of gossip, and she has at least heard of all the folklore and anecdotes of the town, the difference is only how much she knows. And Wang Sheng and his entourage just arrived here, and they just wanted to find someone to inquire about the news, one of the two sides knew more, and the other wanted to know more, so it was an instant hit, and the conversation was very speculative.
From Joey's narration, Wang Sheng learned that the elf tablets placed in the Elven Tower could only be qualified for admission if they applied for and passed the review. In contrast, the aboriginal residents of Ziyuan Town can obtain relatively relaxed review standards, and the review of foreign applications is more stringent, which is also to effectively avoid the rapid growth of the number of tablets in the tower.
At the moment, however, such restrictions do not seem to make much sense. Because as the number of tablets placed in the tower increased, some supernatural phenomena began to appear. Some of them can be explained, such as the ghost elves who are attracted by the environment here, so they appear and stay for a long time, and their various behaviors and even pranks will cause some unusual phenomena, which are still relatively optimistic.
For others, no one knows what is going on, and it is precisely because of the unknown that various legends have come into being. Some say that evil spirits are haunting, some say that demons appear, and some say that unjust souls ask for their lives, and there are all kinds of bizarre theories. Over time, the listeners believed it, and even the people who said it took it seriously, and the rumors spread, resulting in the number of applications remaining at a very low level.
What's more, even the locals have begun to keep a distance from the tower, and there are still people entering during the day, or placing tablets, or doing simple management, or coming to worship and sweep. At night, almost no one dares to enter, even if people set up a large number of street lamps around the tower for some inexplicable reason, illuminating the nearby open space as bright as day, but it is still rare to see a single figure.
Because of this, when Miss Joy heard that Wang Sheng was preparing to enter the Elven Tower at night in order to subdue the possible ghost elves, her face changed with fright.

ps: Writing the elf tower on Qingming Day, it's really an unexpected coincidence! Don't say anything about the happy Qingming Festival, I hope that whether it is a friend who goes out to sweep the tomb or worships his ancestors at home, it can go smoothly, that's all.
