Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Elven Court
When the last ray of light left by the sun in this world was swallowed up by darkness, Zhang Yao came to the Elven Palace.
Perhaps because of the elven magicians around him, Zhang Yao did not encounter obstacles, he looked at this city that once gave birth to a glorious empire.
For the first time, marvel at the great civilization of the elves.
On the sky, it looked down at the Elven Court at its feet, and could only see a lush forest.
But wait until the magician flies down with him.
The forest was gone, and in its place was a huge elven city.
At their feet, at their feet was a hundred-meter-wide aerial pontoon bridge made of green vines as thick as a child's arm, and below them was a wide moat that flowed endlessly, formed by the convergence of many streams in the forest.
At the end of the floating bridge, there is a green "city wall", which is covered with various plants and vines, and only in the small crevices can you see the real city wall made of large bluestone.
To the left and right of the gate stand two tall giant trees, their thick branches extending and twisting together in mid-air, forming a naturally arched gate.
However, the biggest attraction is the king of the towering giant trees in the middle of the city. Its branches stretched out from the inside to the city walls, like a huge umbrella covering the city. The emerald green branches climb along the umbrella bone, and the condensed fruit hangs down like a curtain of beads.
Its canopy is staggered, spiraling upwards layer by layer, with a large canopy below and a small canopy above, resembling both a spiral drill bit and a high-rise tower with distinct layers.
Between each layer of tree canopy, you can faintly see many elf tree houses, the hazy candlelight transmitted from the house is like a glow-in-the-dark firefly between the tree branches, looking at it from a distance makes people feel calm and peaceful, like a beautiful and quiet forest fairyland, elegant and suffocating.
"Welcome home!" the elven magician smiled kindly as he stood at the bridge.
……
After stepping through the gate of two huge oak trees, Zhang Yao curiously observed the interior of this elven city. At his feet is an elaborate gravel avenue flanked by numerous elven wooden houses.
The area where the King of the Giant Tree is located cannot grow dense ordinary trees, and the few tall trees in the city, including the two giant oak trees that make up the "City Gate", are all treemen who spontaneously defend the World Tree. They are well cared for by the elves, otherwise they would otherwise have to stay away from the World Tree area due to not getting enough nutrients.
In addition to the high-rise treehouses built on the spiral leaf canopy of giant trees, ordinary elves have built many beautiful and elegant stilt shacks on the outskirts of the city.
As it was close to dusk, orange candles were lit in the hut, and there were many voices of laughter. From a distance, the periphery of the city seems to be surrounded by a wide galaxy of light belts.
And in the center of the base of the giant tree is a majestic elven castle. Huge bluestones form three tiered ramparts, with a bluestone arrow tower at intervals and numerous mage towers towering high on the inner floor. Between the open porches and curtains of the stone city, there are faintly patrolling guards waiting for them.
At this time, at the end of the gravel avenue, which is also in front of the gate of the elven castle, two teams of elven knights are lined up. These knights wore elaborate armor and flaming red cloaks, and their helmets were decorated with long feathers.
They held halberds in their right hands and torches in their left hands, illuminating the castle gates.
In front of the two teams of elven knights, there were several handsome elves in gorgeous robes, their hands wrapped in their wide sleeves, waiting quietly.
"Shouldn't it be to greet us!" Zhang Yao thought secretly.
Although he knew that Suer's identity was an elven nobleman, this posture was a little too grand now.
Makes him a little flustered.
The elven magician on the side obviously saw that Zhang Yao was a little cramped, and said softly: "You are a hero on the border, and your identity is relatively noble, that's why they are like this." ”
"Uh... It's a little too grandiose. Zhang Yao snorted.
"Haha, you deserve it!" the elven mage laughed and pushed Zhang Yao forward.
"Dear Sur, you're finally back!" Seeing Zhang Yao's arrival, several elves in gorgeous robes in front of the gate of the royal city greeted him with a smile, and one of the handsome elves in gorgeous clothes came out of the crowd, gently hugged Suer, and pressed his cheek.
Zhang Yao's body stiffened, and he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to his intimacy, but remembering his identity, he still responded with a forced smile.
"Why didn't Carlo come back with you?" After the male elf let go of Zhang Yao, he turned his head to look at the elven magician.
This male elf has green hair and silver eyes, and his appearance is extremely outstanding. Even if you wear a wide robe, you will still inevitably have a slender and toned body. The handsome face is like a knife and axe, with clear contours, and compared to Suer's slightly feminine appearance, it has more heroic spirit.
"Carlo...... Return to the bosom of the god of nature. At the mention of Carlo, the elven magician's tone was slightly sad.
"What!?" The elf man in the Chinese costume was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's the intruder...... the magician told him exactly what caused Carlo's death.
"These abominable humans!"
After hearing the cause of Carlo's death, an elf behind the elf man in gorgeous clothes suddenly showed an angry expression.
Although Zhang Yao is a human, he is also angry at what humans do, and he fuses Suer's memories.
Carlo was no longer a stranger to him, but a good friend.
The tragic death of his friend has greatly reduced Zhang Yao's favorability towards humans in this plane.
Although he knew that this situation had also appeared countless times in the history of the earth, it was only a necessary stage in the historical process.
But he still has a slight dislike for humans on this plane.
The elves had generously and selflessly taught their magic and warfare skills to all races, especially the humans who were still weak at the time. Let them create the glory of their own civilization, but now human beings are not grateful, and they are just blindly conquering.
Humans on Earth relied on the Industrial Revolution to create all kinds of miraculous creations, while humans here rely on magic.
But their magic has never been comparable to that of the elves, and the magic cities they have built are not as good as the magic cities of the elves.
In order to allow their race to rule this world for a longer time and leave more traces in this world, there is not a day when the humans of this plane do not want to plunder the magic secrets of the elves.
