Chapter 54: The Visitor
The Tree of Life is very rare, there are less than a hundred known Tree of Life in this world, and each one supports a large elven tribe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is also a difference between the Tree of Life, and the highest level of the Tree of Life is undoubtedly the World Tree Ilsaith, which stands at the foot of the Danangin Mountains in the north. The huge Elven Empire of Ilseth was built on the basis of Ilsis and the dozens of living trees around it, raising a population of 20 million elves.
The next rank is the Tree of Eternity. Only four of the Trees of Eternity have appeared. Two of them are companion trees of Ilseth, one on the continent of Shire, south of the Southern Cross Sea, and only a month's voyage from Komirya. There is another one, which is Nancy in the Central Mountains, and the Nancy Elven Royal Court was built on the basis of the Eternal Tree.
The lowest level is the Tree of Life. Most of the Living Trees live in the Ilsaith Forest. In the Central Mountains and the Shire Continent, there may be more than a dozen of them combined. Except in these three places, there has never been a tree of life anywhere else.
Therefore, in Cecilia's mind, the so-called oracle that suddenly appeared, and the tree of life that seemed to appear on the deserted island of Cormirea, Orinedu, seemed to be a special gift from the gods.
Cecilia was a standard religious fanatic, but Pehin wasn't. Even, she did not believe in Shiloh, but in Elune, the goddess of the moon. Of course, although she does not believe in Shiloh, she still has a very deep respect for the great elven father, and the main god she believes in, the goddess of the moon, Elune, is also Shiloh's second wife.
Pexins is a secular ranger general, and she has to think about not only religion, but also many practical things. Although the will of the gods could not be disobeyed or questioned, she really did not dare to let go until she saw the divine envoy who was about to lead them. She looked at the reveling elves, sighed, and thought to herself, "We can't stand any more storms...... I hope that the oracle is someone to rely on. ”
She could only think so in her heart, and she didn't even dare to say it, otherwise, Cecilia next to her would be angry.
……
Early in the morning, Dane stood on the watchtower of Ghost Knife Harbor, tiptoeing to the north, beside him stood Eslor, and under the watchtower, twenty or thirty elves gathered together, looking into the distance. Not long after the sacrificial ceremony yesterday evening, the news that the bounty of the gods would come from the sea early this morning had spread through all of Orinedu - of course, mainly because the population of Orinedu was so small, with only forty or fifty elves.
People were curious to know that the gifts of the gods would come, so they gathered together one after another early this morning, and waited for it.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Dane was also a little anxious in his heart, and he asked Eslor next to him.
"Don't be in a hurry, what should come will come, and since the gods have a will, it will be done."
Dane kept his mouth shut and continued to look into the distance.
Time gradually passed, and the island of Komya in late autumn was not cold at all, and the sea breeze was very comfortable. But this kind of dry waiting, but it's also really boring. After a long time of no reaction, people's enthusiasm gradually faded.
The first to disperse were the slave girls and the mercenaries. Many of them, having listened to the sacrifice ceremony presided over by Eslor at the temple of Orinedu yesterday evening, were not yet believers in Shiloh, but they were potential targets. After experiencing yesterday's ceremony, they can only say that they have a little affection for the god Shiloh temporarily, and they gathered here at this time to try to be fresh, and after waiting for so long, the enthusiasm is gone, so it will naturally disperse.
Most of the people still under the watchtower are elves. These people are the faithful believers in the gods. They were guided from other worlds by the Divine Guide Tree Tower, although their beliefs are different, but the elven gods of the multiverse are all figured out, and in the belief system of the elves of almost all worlds, Shiloh Father God has the most noble status, and they are willing to wait, naturally because of their faith.
But the wait was a little too long, so much so that the elves were a little impatient. Except for some elves who believed in Hilo themselves, the others all showed some complaining expressions on their faces.
Dane didn't complain about anything, but he was still a little anxious. He kept looking into the distance, expecting the so-called divine gift.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Hearing the faint commotion of the elves below, Dane looked forward and saw a sea ship full of elven style just emerging from the horizon and slowly approaching the Ghost Knife Harbor.
Dane was somewhat disappointed: "This is the gift of the gods? ”
Esloll said, "Yes. ”
"I thought there was a piece of golden light falling, and there would be angels coming to the world."
Eslor said, "That's a miracle, not a gift. Lord, aren't the resources and population what you need most right now? Illusory miracles, of course, are not as valuable as the gifts of reality. ”
Dane nodded and said, "You're right. ”
He walked down from the watchtower and called to Delin and Tommy: "Bring our men and line up!" Let's welcome visitors from afar! ”
Two squadrons of mercenaries stood on either side, and three teams of **** sword dancers with tattoos on their upper bodies followed closely behind Dane. The dock of Ghost Knife Harbor has just been built, and this elf ship in the distance is the first foreign ship to be welcomed by Ghost Knife Harbor.
After a while, the elven ship was firmly anchored on the dock. At this moment, the people on the shore can already see the elves standing on the deck. The elves of Orinedu waved enthusiastically to the new compatriots on board, and the elves on the Golden Leaf were equally excited.
Several planks were set up from the elven ship, and the first to come out was a group of rangers wearing dark green cloaks and carrying bows and arrows, led by a blond-haired and tall man, who seemed to be the leader of this group of elves, and this person was, of course, Peshinsi. Along with the Ranger came down there was another one, the priestess Cecilia, who followed Pehins.
Cecilia had never seen Dane before, but when she looked out from the deck, she recognized at a glance that this strong man in brown was probably the favored one mentioned in the Apocalypse, and would be their leader in the future. So, she pulled Pehins, walked quickly to Dane, and knelt down directly in front of him!
