Chapter 16: The Wood Elf Nation
Sheffil's summer doesn't feel hot at all, it is a northern border town of the Elwinian Wood Elf Kingdom located in the south of the Talk continent, and the Wood Elf King Frevice II canonized his brother, the son of the Elven royal family of the Hort family, as the baron of Sheffield. Of course, the son of the Elven royal family of the Hunter family is the Wood Forrest Hunter Hunter we already know. King Fredet II of the Wood Elves arranged a Wood Elf border patrol brigade for his royal family members in Sheffield, so as not to lose the majesty of the elven territory and the size of the army, so that the military power would not pose a threat to his throne. What's more, the wood elf king Frevice II certainly didn't want to have a side brother who coveted his throne, in the eyes of the wood elf king Frevice II, he was the king on the throne of Erwinia, and the brother who coveted the throne was only worthy of going to his side. Although Sheffield is a small town in the south of the Elvenian Wood Elf Kingdom, it is the main transportation route connecting the Lynston Kingdom and the Elwinian Wood Elf Kingdom. Therefore, under the leadership of Wood, Sheffield continued to trade with the border city of Entle, making the wilderness and forests where birds did not lay eggs now seem to be thriving. Sheffield's elven craftsmen were also very skilled, and Teucer even asked Frete, the elven craftsman, to make an intricately carved wooden scabbard for his sword.
Sheffield is a vast wooded area sandwiched between steep hills, with only two exits, the North Gate and the South Gate, beyond which are desolate mountains and endless maple forests that only caravans of trade pass through. Beyond the south gate is an endless forest and the Philistine Horse Road leading to the elven capital of Unocal, where according to the Wood Elves there are rest stations every 50 miles. The houses in Sheffield are all made of wood, and the red spires are a gorgeous accent against the green. The center of the town was where Wood worked, and the Wood Elves called it the Baron's Mansion, which was a large tree house built on a huge Titan tree, and a majestic wooden ladder was erected under the maple tree with wooden shelves, but the huge Titan Tree, which was built by the elves to build the Baron's Mansion with at least 10 people, not only did not wither, but energetically grasped every inch of Sheffield's land and stretched its branches and leaves to every corner of Sheffield. Directly opposite the wooden staircase of the Baron's Mansion was the only fountain in the town, built by Fredet II's best elven craftsmen from Unocal for his brother Wood, in order to "praise" Wood for his meritorious deeds. Of course, there is a sculpture in the center of the fountain, a wooden elf riding a horse and a bow and arrow, and the pillar below is carved with the words "КЁогтгЩЦцд (Glory of Wood)" in wooden elf script. ”
"This statue is really interesting, what is this carved in color that resembles the glorious Wood? Rather, he looks like a relative who looks like Wood. Whenever he walked to the fountain under the Great Tree House, he laughed at the carving skill of the statue's craftsmen.
Sheffield Town, where the lush greenery of the town and outside the town is like a sea, vying for the sun on their treetops. The poor sunlight was only enough to illuminate the forests of Sheffield, and Teucer's wounds were gradually healed day after day in the natural sea. In addition to his daily walks and familiarization with Sheffield, he also discusses swordsmanship with his savior, Wood, in his spare time.
"When you swing your sword, you have to raise your elbows a little higher!" Outside the cabin in the early morning, Wood and Teucer can always be seen.
"No, no. You're moving too slowly! Wood stood beside Teucer and guided him wholeheartedly, gesturing with a few moves and a half.
"Good. When fighting, you should look ahead. It's better to stare into the eyes of your enemies. The enemy's eyes will always reveal to you what he thinks next. Wood clapped his hands, Teucer's blow was perfect, "And your blow will inflict fatal damage on the enemy." ”
"Alright, that's all for today. You're well qualified. Wood gave Teucer a thumbs up. He took a dry cloth from his sister Avanna and wiped his face.
Teucer practiced his sword in the early morning, and as he interacted more with Wood, he began to learn the language of the Wood Elves from Wood. He also gradually understood that language is the art of obtaining more information. Wood gradually saw the incompetent guards of Goodbay as a member of the Wood Elves.
"Wood, what do the wood elves say about love?" Teucer's face was slightly shy, and his face flushed.
"Love can be divided into several types, unrequited love and love. These two words can be completely different. Wood chuckled softly, this was the first time that such a question had been brought up to him, "НОз, it's unrequited love." And ОЗага is the joy of the two. Keep in mind that these two words can be completely different, and their meanings can vary widely. ”
"Thank you. НОз, that is, unrequited love. ОЗага is the joy of the two. Teucer nervously repeated Wood's words, the flush on his face spreading even more, and even his neck turning red as he repeated it.
This word seems to make you nervous. You're not going to have a crush on any of our Sheffield Wood Elf girls, are you? Wood asked Teucer tentatively.
"Lord Wood, I think you're mistaken, I'm just curious about these two words, but they make me feel embarrassed." Tork replied hesitantly.
"Ah, this is the first time that someone has mentioned this kind of problem to me. Teucer, I'm really impressed with you. Wood's expression looked like a smile, but when he saw the ring on Teucer's finger, his face flushed with a smile, "By the way, in two days it's the summer harvest festival, the traditional festival of our Elwinian wood elves." When the time comes, I invite you to join us, and at the Summer Harvest Festival, maybe you will be able to use the two words I just taught you, remember, but you will have to see it before you use it. ”
"I am a foreigner, Lord Wood. Thank you so much for having me, but I don't know what customs I need to be aware of during the Summer Harvest Festival. Teucer seemed to read Wood's eyes.
"Ah, there is no taboo on this festival, just singing and dancing with everyone, and praising the harvest that our forest god Forrest has brought to the wood elves. When the time comes, as the lord of this place, I will have to take the stage to address the people of the Wood Elves, and I can give me a hard applause. Wood smiled and escaped from a small plank of wood, "This is an invitation from me as a lord, and when the time comes, you will be free to enter and leave this Sheffield event." ”
"Thank you for the warm invitation, my friend, Wood." Teucer took the wooden invitation from Wood and took it in his arms. "At that time, I will definitely be on time for this event."
Sheffield's "Summer Harvest Festival" is coming soon, and according to Sheffield's custom, the barons here will always make an announcement the day before the Summer Harvest Festival, telling outsiders that the day after the announcement is the day of the Elwinian Wood Elves, and those merchants of foreign races who are not invited must be grounded, otherwise they will be severely punished.
The day after the announcement was issued, every Wood Elf in the streets of Sheffield Town was dressed in their traditional costume and gathered at the Fountain Square in Sheffield Town, waiting for their lord's appearance and speech.
An old wood elf slowly walked out of the huge treehouse directly opposite the fountain square, and he said slowly, "Lord Sheffield, he will soon be in the middle of everyone, and he will announce that this year's Summer Harvest Festival will begin with joy." ”
"Young Master, the people of Sheffield have been waiting for your appearance." The old Wood Elf entered the treehouse amid the cheers of the Wood Elf populace, and he bowed to greet Wood, who was dressed in full costume.
"How long will the good time come for the druids to choose?" Wood didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he asked the old wood elf.
"Sunrise in the treetops." The old wood elf replied simply and succinctly, "Time is only a fraction of a second. ”
"Then wait until a millimeter." Wood methodically said, "The Druid's choice of time was Freist's arrangement. ”
As the bell rang in the treetops of the sun, Wood, dressed in costume, surrounded by his old Wood Elf servants, appeared at the door of the treehouse, and walked down from the treehouse with graceful steps to the people of Sheffield, and he even stood excitedly on the fountain and held the ridiculous delicate statue on the fountain in one hand, and proclaimed to his people: "The light of Forrester shines on the green earth, and the harvested forest is his great gift." Our tenacious wood elves in Sheffield have ushered in a good harvest once again in their hard work and hard work! The plump El Tora Fruits, the bunches of Siscont berries have already shown us their watery light, and I announce that the annual Wood Elf Festival is taking place at this time chosen by Forrestal! ”
The Wood Elves excitedly chanted, "Summer Harvest Festival." They began to sing and dance, and the dancing wood elves were like waves of green, naturally beautiful and harmonious. Teucer, who seemed to have been lost in the green dancing with the Wood Elf townsfolk as well, quietly walked over to Wood and gave him the green gemstone ring he had taken from the skeletal "nobleman" and inlaid with the blessing of Forrester to the elves.
"It's a great occasion, my Baroness. He fascinated me. I think I've fallen in love with Sheffield. Teucer placed the ring with the 'emerald' on Wood's index finger, "In the eyes of us Trians, wearing the ring on the index finger represents the pursuit of the heart. This shimmering green is exactly what you Wood Elves are after, and now I give you this ring that I have found. This ring will be your friendship with me and the idea you are looking for. ”
"I think I'm in the best of the best right now. There is nothing more exciting than this summer harvest festival, and this ring was conquered by the light he emitted from the moment I saw him. This exquisite item of unsurpassed beauty is like the immaculate stunner that Forrest has given me! Wood almost exclaimed, "This is a gift from Forrest, the god of the forest." This is the most beautiful gift from my friend of Trian, Mr. Tork, on this occasion! ”
The ring that shimmered green in Wood's hand aroused the admiration of all the Wood Elves who attended the Summer Harvest Party, and the exquisite carving and pattern of this ring seemed to the Wood Elves to be the work of an ancient craftsman, and its delicate emerald inlaid with the spirit of the breath of the forest was set on the ring decorated with the fine words of "ancient", which was a rare treasure for all Wood Elves. Wood became the most eye-catching and dazzling Wood Elf at Sheffield's Summer Harvest Festival. Not because he was the leader of Sheffield, but because he wore an emerald ring given by Teucer. The ring became a recognized treasure for the Wood Elves, and Wood publicly announced: "This ring I name him after the Captain of the Border Patrol of the Elven Kingdom, the Baron of Sheffield, and the Light Knight—for his beauty is like the breath of the forest, and like the blessing of Forrestal, that it appears in our land of Sheffield!" I decided – to name him: 'Sheffield's Breath'. ”
For a moment, all the wood elves cheered. The atmosphere of the event was ignited to the fullest, and Wood took advantage of the situation to bring Tokela to his side, and he publicly announced in front of all the Sheffield Wood Elves: "Although Mr. Teucer is just an ordinary Trian human, I will give Mr. Teucer the title of "Friend of the Wood Elves" in the name of Baron on our Wood Elves' sacred Summer Harvest Festival, and grant Mr. Teucer the status of a Wood Elf as a reward for his gift to Sheffield!" ”
“ШОрцмтгтеьел。 ТОк。 (Welcome to Teucer.) The Wood Elves greeted Teucer. Teucer saw a familiar Wood Elf among the greeting Wood Elves, and she waved to Teucer with a smile. Teucer's face flushed, and he pressed his hand to his chest and nodded slightly, like a gentleman, the wood elves especially greeted her. Her smile made Teucer's heart almost jump out of his mouth.
Teucer became Sheffield's only human Wood Elf. Sheffield became Trafigura's second home. Not just because Goodbay had disappeared from the map forever, but also because of the smiling wood elf girl in the crowd.
Teucer gradually became familiar with Sheffield, and gradually understood the beliefs of the Wood Elves, who claimed that their ancestors came from the distant Crescent Bay of the Tame Sea, and that they were created by Forrest, the patron god of the Wood Elves, and that the creator Forrest was also the first king of the Wood Elves, and he led the Wood Elves to the south through the dangerous Misty Sea on the ark of Unocal that he could control, crossed the Sea of West Palma, bypassed the Nilda Ridge of the West Unocal Sea, and finally stopped on the west side of the Unocal Strait. And there, after his own ark, he named the current capital of the wood elves, Unocal. However, Unocal's gradual prosperity aroused the jealousy of the white dragon Dagang on the Storm Mountain Cliff in the southernmost part of the Talk continent, and he attacked Unocal City on the west side of the Unocal Strait one morning, Forrester led the Wood Elf tribesmen to resist stubbornly, he found that the wooden sticks and spears used by the tribes could not compete with the dragon Dagang, he taught the Wood Elves to make the most powerful Wood Elf longbow and Wood Elf arrows in the Talk continent, at the critical moment of the confrontation between the Wood Elves and the Dragon Dagang, Forrester used an unknown special magic, and Forrester disappeared into a cloud of hot white light along with the dragon Dagon, never to be seen again. Wood Elf scholars have debated for thousands of years whether Forrester died in that battle or whether he entered the heavenly kingdom of the gods and guarded the Wood Elves forever. Of course, the wooden Forrest Temple in Sheffield is still engraved with legends of the Wood Elves passed down from generation to generation.
In the blink of an eye, autumn in Sheffield has arrived, and the leaves that cover the sky are truly sensitive messengers of the season, and as a continuous gust of wind blows over the Sheffield Forest, the green world is gradually covered with a layer of gold. The leaves flew away in the wind, and the land of Sheffield added a new layer of golden carpet.
But no matter how wonderful the scenery was, in Toucer's eyes, it always made him feel more thrilled than the beautiful Avenna, her beautiful long golden hair, her flawless face like the moon, and her wonderful figure, beautiful like the princess of the Sheffield Wood Elf Forest; Her whiteness is like the snow on the top of a snow-capped mountain; Her slender waist was as soft as the water flowing in the mountains. Teucer's heart has belonged to Avanna. To Teucer, Avenna was like his belief in the goddess Arcana. Teucer lives for her at Sheffield. So much so that he quietly guarded her not far from all day long.
