Chapter 1: The Goddess of Dreams

Athel Loren

The dense emerald forest renders the whole world emerald green, and the green leaves that extend infinitely from the thick branches of the trees constantly obscure the sunlight above the sky, hiding the whole world under the emerald green shade.

The thick vines on the ground, these vines that grow from the roots of the trees, seem to have no natural predators, only know how to grow indefinitely, until the entire forest floor is obscured.

There was no dark hue under the shade, the magic runes carved into the stones, or under the cover of the grass, or under the entanglement of vines, or beside the road, emitted a faint green glow, covering the whole forest with a layer of emerald green light.

If humans had strayed into this place, they would have discovered that there were rumors that there were wood elves living in this forest, so why couldn't they see anything?

The answer is simple, the Wood Elves live in the trees, and those who can communicate with the trees live on the trees and live a primitive and fulfilling life.

The forest was peaceful, but now an intruder had crept in.

The Wood Elves were extremely resistant to outsiders entering Athel Loren, and even though they were as strong as the Empire, they suffered a lot in this forest. In these hundreds of years, the most intrusions have been made into Athel Loren...... It was the adventurer of Bretonnia and the adventurer of the Empire.

The Beastmen themselves are enemies, and if they enter the forest, they die.

But the intruder was a wood elf.

She had long, emerald hair, and her eyes were scanning everything in Athel Loren.

The slender calves are topped by a flat belly, above which are the towering breasts, and above are the swan-like necks and beautiful faces.

She wore a gold-trimmed sacrificial robe, and on the back of the robe was embroidered Bretonnia's belief in Lilith, the goddess of the lake and the elven goddess of dreams.

She was holding a torch in her fair, delicate hand.

Then she cautiously shouted in a seductive voice, "Sisters." ”

The forest was calm, except for the sound of birds chirping on the branches, except for the echo of the maiden.

She shouted again with some reluctance: "Sisters...... I came back with our appointment. ”

This time, someone finally responded to her.

"Catherine, why are you back?" A voice came from above the branch.

It was a wood elf maiden, and she was staring at Catherine with a wary gaze.

Catherine smiled, "I became the Grand Priest of Goddess Lilith of Bretonnia!" ”

"What!" The Wood Elf Maiden couldn't say anything in surprise.

"What the hell is going on?" More holes in the branches appeared, and one after another Wood Elves emerged from the caves.

The wood elves are very beautiful, these elves who follow the primitive life hunt all year round, and what they pursue on weekdays is one happiness after another, and they live carefree in this forest.

Catherine put the torch on the trunk of the tree and said calmly, "My comrades, I have come back quietly this time. ”

The Wood Elves had all emerged from the hollows of the trees, and they had long wanted to see what was so good about the fellow who had become the Grand Priest of Bretonnia.

"I've heard that the Eternal King is in alliance with Bretonnia."

"What an alliance, we will always be isolated in this forest."

"We can't be in league with humans."

"Jiaojiao, you just used a scimitar to kill a human fugitive some time ago, and now you actually want to form an alliance with humans."

"Phew, bah, bah."

…………

Catherine quietly waited for the Wood Elves to end their discussion.

Elves have always had long lives, long enough that they could waste their time at will, long enough to be indifferent to the next generation, long enough to ...... It hasn't changed for hundreds of years.

Catherine coughed and said, "I'm here to deliver the words of Lu En, the Protector of Bretonnia. ”

Once again, the voices of discussion came one after another.

"I heard that guy was funny."

"Yes, the Knight King of Bretonnia is currently packing up the green skins, and I heard that he is discussing with the Eternal King how to deal with the threat of the Beastmen once and for all."

"It wouldn't be bad to have that knight king as our ally."

"Well, we believe in Lilith too."

Catherine suddenly interrupted the elves' discussion: "My comrades, haven't we ever thought of making the faith of Lilith, the goddess of dreams, the true faith of the green elves?" ”

This sentence, like a stone thrown into a lake, caused a wave and everyone's discussion stopped.

They all looked directly at Catherine not far away, as if they wanted to hear Catherine's next words.

Yes, this sentence is very tempting for them, after all, they have nothing, only the faith of the gods as a support, but it is only a support, although they have also thought about letting the entire Athel Loren believe in Lilith, the goddess of dreams, but it is only as an imagination.

But for now......

"What does that mean, have you thought about it?"

On the other side, a huge tree opened its eyes, and it stood up from the ground, staring directly at Catherine: "This means that the peaceful life of the wood elves for thousands of years will be disrupted. ”

Catherine nodded, "Let me tell you what Lu En once said." ”

"He told me that the endless self-interest of mankind is over, and the days when the upper aristocracy disregarded the lives of the common people and only pursued their own interests are over."

"He told me that the new Bretonnia would create a new world order in which the Wood Elves would be his close allies."

"He told me that the faith of Lilith, the goddess of dreams, would be the noblest and noblest faith in all of Athel Loren, unsurpassed by any other elven god."

Catherine shouted these words in one go, but the wood elves around her were not very happy, but ...... A state of trouble is coming.

"There is a mighty king in Bretonnia."

"For thousands of years, Lu En is not the only one who has ambitions, and it is impossible to change the world."

"Catherine, forget it, our entire tribe is only 3,000 people, once we fall into the war, I'm afraid it will only take half a year for us to completely disappear into the history of the wood elves."

The elves did not agree to Catherine's proposal, believing that it was too risky to act with humans and that it would not have enough to gain.

"Bretonnia's reinforcements will come soon." Catherine said hurriedly, "Luen is not a selfish man, he once told me that there is no one in all of Bretonnia who is more generous than him. ”

"No one loves peace more than he does."

"The only thing we can do about peace is not to discuss it, Catherine, you have been among humans for too long, and you have learned a lot about the unrealistic adventurism and opportunism of humans. ”

Catherine immediately interrupted the Treant: "No, Lu En told me that he was going to do the opposite, and although I don't know what he said, I think it's very powerful. ”

The Tree Man said, "Let's wait a while and see what Lu En can do." ”
