Chapter 1330: A Chaotic Banquet
Towering spires stretch along the border of Moonlight City.
Countless huge tree houses, with lush tree canopies, combined into a huge shelter, covering the dome of Moonlight City.
The sparse frecks of light were sprinkled on the fertile land, on the paved bluestone paths, on every smiling beautiful cheek.
It was a rare peace and tranquility.
It is a legendary wonderland that is only recorded in the annals of history.
It was Moonlight City a thousand years ago.
"More than a thousand years ago?" I asked quietly.
"No," said the high priest, "it was thousands of years ago, when I was a child." β
The songs and verses of the song linger in every corner of Moonlight City, and people spend every day in beauty and happiness.
The worker does not feel tired, and the thinker is constantly energetic.
People unconsciously acquire knowledge and create the future unconsciously.
Countless races from other continents, countless scholars seeking knowledge, countless professors thirsting for truth, and countless troubadours thirsting for history, have taken boats across treacherous seas and crossed the time of life and death.
Some of them have suffered misfortunes along the way, some have died in the belly of fish in treacherous seas, and some have died of old age in thirst.
But eventually, the survivors of them set foot in Moonlight City, the holy city they thought they had, and came here to seek everything they desired.
"A thousand years ago, countless pilgrims kept coming and going, some of them gained knowledge, some sought the truth, some spied into history, almost everyone found everything they longed for in Moonlight City, however, human greed and insatiable desire are like vicious monsters, always spying on the prosperous Holy City, always looking for its crevices, always longing to destroy its sacredness!"
The High Priest said this with a look of excitement, her fists clenched, her old fingers as dry branches as hard as embedded in the flesh, her fists trembling, just as she spoke at the moment.
Finally, she let go of her fists and sighed: "In the end, the prosperity and tranquility of the Holy City still did not hide from the desires and greed of human nature, and the knowledge of the elves beyond time collapsed under a series of shocks, and in the end, all of this was buried in a thick layer of dust and dust. β
"What is the reason exactly?" I wondered: "Moonlight City, which was once so prosperous and even called the Holy City, why did it fall to this day?" β
The High Priest shook his head: "I can't say, but if you're curious about the elves of yesteryear, you can try to dig for yourself, there are some things, some things, I can't do, but you can." β
"I can...... I don't even know the location of the ancient tombs, how can I dig them? β
"Although I know the location of most of the ancient tombs," said the high priest, "but I cannot tell you." β
"Well, are you afraid of having the mausoleum stolen by telling me the location, and you will be burdened with an inextricable sense of guilt?"
"Not really," said the High Priestess, "if the former glory of the elves was restored because of the theft of the tombs, I would rather you have all the ancient tombs excavated, but in fact, the reason why I did not tell you the location is for another reason." β
"Can you tell me why?"
The high priest laughed but said nothing.
I was indignant at the high priest's laughter and silence.
In order not to continue to be resentful, I decided to change the topic: "You just said that the waters around the Zephyr Continent are very dangerous, in fact, before this, I have also heard people say that there are very dangerous and terrifying existences lurking in the vast sea around the Zephyr Continent, but they have never explained what these dangerous and terrifying existences are, can you help me answer this doubt?" β
"The ocean is much bigger than the land, and there are more species growing in it, whether it is fish or monsters, than we can see on land, and the reason why we think it is dangerous is not entirely because of the sea beasts and trolls contained in it, but also because most of us cannot survive in the ocean," said the high priest. β
"Of course, in the vast ocean, there are also many powerful monsters, and some monsters are even far stronger than legendary heroes."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but complain: the legendary heroes are really miserable, and they are always compared.
"In this way, the ocean is not so terrifying~" I said lightly.
"It is necessary to maintain a sense of reverence," the high priest reminded.
After that, I asked a few more miscellaneous questions, but most of them were non-nutritious nonsense.
Finally, when it was dusk, I followed the high priest to the dining room.
As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw the phoenix and the others sitting around the restaurant honestly.
I winked at Phoenix, who smiled back.
As a result, this little action was seen by Barbara, who was very unhappy and bared her teeth at me, which startled me.
Before the feast began, the high priest made a few polite remarks before getting to the point.
The content of the main topic has been said before, that is, I hope that my wedding date can be postponed again.
When they heard the news that they were going to extend their marriage, all the girls showed unhappy expressions, and Barbara was even more unhappy to pout, revealing ten sharp claws.
The High Priest was not surprised, and she smiled slightly, and explained in detail the reasons for the delay.
When they heard the phrase 'war may soon be ignited,' most of the girls present became agitated.
"High Priestess" Cagalli stood up and said solemnly, "What you said is true?" β
The high priest smiled and said, "Child, there is no need for me to deceive you. β
"Oh, I'm sorry," Cagalli said, bowing her head, "It's not that I don't trust you, but because I'm surprised, my tone is out of shape." β
"It doesn't matter, child," said the high priest, "whoever hears about the war has an inexplicable agitation, and even I can't avoid it, just because I've experienced it a lot and become accustomed to it." β
"Is the war like it says, several groups of people are fighting, the fight is terrible, and some people are even dead?"
Barbara asked, widening her eyes.
"Yes, child," said the high priest, "all wars are dead." β
Barbara was instantly filled with sadness and anxiety: "Uh...... That's not good, my wedding with Xiao Yi can't be delayed, in case we ...... in the war"
Without waiting for Barbara to finish, the high priest said, "Don't worry, child, you don't need to worry about this, your future is very clear in my eyes, although I can't tell you what the future holds, but you just have to believe in him and your fiancΓ©." β
"We're going to war, we're going to die, how can you believe it!" Barbara pouted, even more worried.
Cagalli walked up to her, blocked her gaze, and said firmly: "You should believe her, she is the high priest of our clan, the supreme prophet, she can see both the past and the future, and her prophecies have never been wrong, you have to believe her, you have to believe in her as much as you believe in Xiao Yi!" β
