Chapter 310: Empty Mt. - Old Friend
In Kommst, there are no humans or other tribes, just a mild-mannered, war-like elves. Of course, after the fall of Rainbow Island, there was also a split within the elves. Some of the older elven elders believe that Rainbow Island is the ultimate home of the elves, and after they were forced to leave their hometown, they have been wandering in the small villages around Rainbow Island, hoping to return to their hometown one day. However, because of the war, these elves have a strong sense of distrust towards humans and other small groups of races, so that even though King John ordered the rebuilding of Rainbow Island, none of the elves dared to return. Thranduil tried to persuade the diehards several times to do so, but received no response. In desperation, the Elven King can only lead most of the elves who want to start their lives again in search of a new home.
The oasis city, Empty Mt, was an empty city when the elves first arrived there. The city is surrounded by a desert in the middle, and between the desert and the empty city is a dense forest with many tiny springs in the forest, and these underground waterways-like systems maintain the forest cycle. What really makes this desert city an oasis is that there is a wide lake in the south of the city, which is so clear that the blue seems to be a part of the sky that has fallen to form this beautiful lake.
The elves also lost their troops in order to reach Kongmst, and the act of crossing half of the desert was undoubtedly a suicidal act for the elves who lived in nature all year round. Thankfully, Thranduil won the hearts of the people as king, and with his encouragement and leadership, some of the elves fell ill due to dehydration, but all of them survived and arrived in their new homes.
Qile was one of the first members to come to the oasis. At that time, Qile had actually been wandering for a long time, and after experiencing countless separations, he was tired of relying on coma to survive, and finally chose to return to the group. Maybe it's because he's too tired, or maybe it's because Thranduil has invited him back and needs his help to rebuild his new home. But whatever the reason, Qile returned, returning home with exhaustion and scars, and perhaps deep down, Qile still hoped to be healed.
Due to his special status, Qile has a longer life than ordinary elves, and his appearance seems to have remained around 15 years old without getting older. Coupled with the changes in his hometown before, Qile who returned to the clan could hardly find a friend who could eat cooked food, and the only one who could say a few words was the elf king Thrandil. After a year-long run-in, Qile finally integrated into the group a little, and also made one or two familiar friends, and the construction of the city was almost over.
"Qile, I heard that you have been wandering outside, is the outside world interesting? I've never left Rainbow Island since I was born, and while Rainbow Island is good, I've always wanted to get out there. It's a pity."
It was a boy who was talking, sitting on a wooden railing, with a strawberry pie rolled in his hand and strawberry-red residue at the corners of his mouth. As he spoke, his slightly fat belly bulged and his thick and short legs swayed happily under the railing. He is Radur, one of the few friends of Qile, who is hundreds of years younger than Qile, but he is already considered an 'old man' among the elves. Ladur, who looks to be in his twenties on the outside, has never even stepped out of the gate of Rainbow Island, or even on the Rainbow Bridge. That's why everyone jokingly called him 'the cowardly Ladur'.
But he is such a coward, but he is 'appreciated' by Qile, who is known for his indifference. Qile himself didn't know why he liked being with Radur, but at least he knew that he didn't hate listening to Radur, so it was enough for Qile to be friends. Radur, on the other hand, has always said that he is honored to be friends with the 'luckiest elf', and that he thinks it is a very handsome thing.
"Coward, you have to say this once a week, now Rainbow Island is no longer our home, you can leave here, out of this desert is Sunshine City, it is the royal city, what a simple thing."
It was a girl's voice, her name was Blue Butterfly, and she was a half-blood elf. The so-called half-blood elf means that one of the parents is not an elf, or one of the parents is himself mixed-blood, that is, there will be a foreign blood among the ancestors. After Thranduil took over as king, Rainbow Island became a paradise isolated from the world, so the elves who lived in it were usually pure-blooded, and the parents of Blue Butterfly, who naturally grew up on the island, were no exception. So the mixed-race Blue Butterfly, her ancestors used to be foreigners, and I heard that it was a human being, but Blue Butterfly herself would never talk about it. She herself is still very resistant to the matter of mixed blood, although the elves do not pay attention to purebreds, but Blue Butterfly is particularly concerned about this matter. She has the beautiful appearance of the elves, fair and transparent skin, and a good figure, but unlike the elves, it is her pair of ears that resemble humans, without pointed ear tips, and the rounded arc has always been the ugliest part of the blue butterfly.
But when she saw Qile for the first time, she was shocked by Qiraku's beauty, except for the noble Elf King, Qile was the most beautiful elf she had ever seen. Like Ilte, she also thought that Qile was a girl, and it wasn't until they really got along that they realized that this beautiful person had no gender. But this does not prevent her from liking Qile, and the particularly lively and cheerful Blue Butterfly always surrounds Qile and chatters with him. Maybe it's because she's been living alone for too long, and for a long time, Qile can't accept this long-winded and noisy girl at all. It wasn't until one day that I saw her sitting alone by the lake and crying at her reflection in the lake, that I realized that there had always been such a knot in the heart of this seemingly cheerful girl. After that, Qile no longer always avoided Blue Butterfly, although she still felt a little annoyed, but slowly got used to her presence.
The three of them became the strangest combination in Elven City. Although Qile doesn't like to talk, his popularity is still very good, and some older elves will always come to discuss spells with him. Although Radur is a gluttonous and timid, he is always enthusiastic and helpful, and is the hardest working of all the elder elves. Although Blue Butterfly has low self-esteem and is a mixed race, she has no reservations about her own people, and her human blood makes her mind more delicate and gentle. is such that three people with ideals, confusion, and pain got together, and also laid the groundwork for countless beautiful but sad memories for the future separation.
