Elf no Sato, as the name suggests, is the hometown of elves, and it is also the origin of elves, which is a huge ancient tree located in the vast ocean. Legend has it that the branches of this tree make up the whole world, and the origin of life is from this. To humans, this tree is also known as the World Tree - Yüggdrasil.

Although the elves rarely travel to the human world, many of the inhabitants of the continent will go to the elven country, some for trade, and some for tourism. Since relations between the two races are relatively open, all you need to do is provide legal procedures to enter the country.

As the huge sailing ship slowly sailed into the harbor of the Elven Realm, a long line of passengers began to line up on the deck as they prepared to undersail.

"Well, I didn't expect so many people to come here, I didn't know it before. Iskar looked out of the deck, and in addition to their boats, several other piers were filled with a large number of sailboats, and the bustling flow of people almost filled the entire dock.

"Well, there aren't so many people in normal times, but these two days just happen to be the traditional festival of our elf clan - the Great Sacrifice. Hywig explained, carrying a large amount of luggage in both hands.

"It doesn't matter if it's a festival or something!tell me where I can find the artifact!" Obviously, Gardia, who was slowly moving forward in the crowd, couldn't wait, and if she could, she couldn't wait to conjure her wings and fly directly into the country from the crowd.

"Miss Gardia, this is the realm of elves, and if you choose to break in without registering, you will definitely be attacked as an enemy!" Iskar reminded him, as if he had read through Gardia's mind.

"Well, don't worry, about the artifact mentioned before, it's actually related to the big festival. Hywig explained.

"Wait a minute, where are Haruka and Said?" Iskar looked back, and it seemed that the crowd seemed to have washed them apart.

"Well, I guess I left it behind while picking up my luggage. Hywig recalled that Haruka and Said were still there at the place where they were packing their luggage.

"I have no choice but to wait for them. Iskar paused and motioned for those in the line behind him to bypass them and go first.

"Really, those two dragging their feet. Gardia pouted, "Let's talk about it quickly, what the hell is this big festival?" ”

"In fact, every ten years or so, the World Tree will have a germination period, during which the branches of the entire World Tree will be displaced, and many new branches will grow quickly. ”

"Aren't all your elven houses built on these branches, if they grow as suddenly as you say... Isn't it like an earthquake?" said Iskar, surprised.

"Don't worry, although it feels like the earthquake you talked about, but our elven houses are directly fixed to them by the branches generated by plant magic, so all the houses have their own roots buried deep in the branches, and they are very strong and will not collapse so easily. ”

"What else, does the artifact have anything to do with this?" said Gardia, who didn't seem to have much interest in Hywig's science.

"Of course, not only that, in addition to the expansion of the branches that changes the terrain of the Elves, there will also be some special labyrinths that will appear during this time. ”

"Labyrinth?"

As you can see, the history of the existence of the World Tree is said to be the same as the birth of the whole world, so the interior of this huge ancient tree has also given birth to many special labyrinths in the long river of history. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"During the festival, the entrances to these labyrinths, which were originally hidden by heavy branches, will be opened, allowing people to enter these labyrinths that only appear once in ten years. ”

"Wait a minute, since it's a memorial service, it means that many tourists will also enter the labyrinth, isn't that very dangerous for the common people?" Iska couldn't help but question.

"Well, after all, it appears once every ten years, so these mazes have basically been all conquered by the previous exploration team, and there are only some weak monsters left in them, and the traps and everything have basically been lifted, so it's not so much about entering the adventure, it's better to go sightseeing. ”

"Sightseeing... After listening to Hywig's words, Gardia suddenly revealed a strong killing intent. "Now that these labyrinths have been conquered, are the so-called artifacts just a façade?"

"Hey, no, isn't it... Although it is said that the labyrinth has been attacked, there are two very rare artifacts hidden in the depths of the labyrinth, and even after so many years, no one has discovered them, so many people suspect that there must be a special entrance in these labyrinths that can go to areas that people have not yet discovered, and the artifacts are sleeping there!" Facing her murderous aura, Hywig quickly explained.

"I hope that the legend is true, otherwise ... ”

"Ahh......h
