054 The Elven King
Feida and Kester finally entered the elven city of Nosirio. Xiao Han was on the side, trembling in the face of Captain Ficio's anger. Maybe Ficchio just wanted to be handsome, but he didn't expect to be smashed by Xiao Han, so after entering the main city, he didn't give Xiao Han a good face.
However, it was only a minor episode, and it didn't bother Kerst and Feida. When the two of them entered the main city, they found that it was different from what they saw from outside the magic cover. The buildings that looked purple from a distance were actually stone houses, but the surface was smeared with strange purple runes, and the runes flashed brightly, making the whole building appear a dreamy purple color.
Lots of "guiding stars" flutter between the buildings, and the sky is filled with their green glow. The type of building is no different from that of a human city, with signs at the entrance indicating that there are taverns, grocery stores, tool shops, etc., but unlike the noise of the human market, it is a peaceful and peaceful scene.
Many of the city's buildings are built on towering trees, which has a unique natural flavor. Streams, unknown whether they were man-made or natural, flow around the buildings.
And in the middle of the city, there is a particularly thick towering tree, this tree is so thick that at first Kerst thought it was a wall. A wooden ladder spirals up the trunk of a tree, guarded by an elven warrior every few steps.
"Captain Ficcio, where is that?" asked Kerster.
"Hehe, that's the residence of the Great Elf King, that is, the center of Nosilio, the core of the Elven Kingdom, the Yongquan Palace. ”
Kester couldn't help but wonder, "Why is it called Yongquan Palace?"
"Because when the elves first migrated here, the entire misty forest was still a large barren hill, and only here was a natural spring. Later, the Great Elf King transformed the barren hill and sprinkled a seed in the center of the clear spring, while casting blessed elven magic on it. ”
The seed soon grew into a towering tree, and the spring water soaked in the root system gradually spread out to form a number of small streams, and near these small streams, the pioneer spirits scattered more seeds, and finally formed the forest. After that, the elves used magic to carry many stones and built the city, which is also known as Nosilio.
On the large tree at the location of the original spring, the residence of the Great Elven King was built, which was also the royal palace of the Elven Kingdom. In honor of the original spring, the palace was named the Springs Palace, and it also had an Elvish name called "Tedasir" (Note 1), which means "the first blessed place".
This is the story of the origin of the elven palace and the elven kingdom Nosirio, which fascinates Feida.
Captain Ficcio led Koster and Feida, talking as they went, and crossed several small bridges with beautiful shapes to the foot of the Springs Palace. Standing at the foot of the Springs Palace, Chester and Feida felt their own insignificance, and the towering tree, through the spiraling golden spiral staircase, can lead directly to the stone building "lurking" above the tree.
It's a big stone building, I don't know what magical magic power is used, just hanging in the middle of the trunk, facing the bottom of the ground, are complex purple runes, maybe it is these runes that give Yongquan Palace the power to "float".
Captain Ficchio took the two of them to step on the revolving staircase, Xiao Han and several other elven guards did not follow, the elven guards on the revolving staircase should have been notified in advance, as if they didn't see a few people, standing there blankly, letting Koster and them walk by.
Stepping on the spiral staircase, Kest found that this staircase composed of cut wood was completely floating in the air, without any contact with the surface of the trunk, and the wooden surface was also covered with purple runes, and the handwriting of the runes had always inspired a faint purple light. If you look closely, you can see that the steps are shaking slightly in the air, but the people standing on the steps do not feel unstable at all.
From entering Nosilio to entering the Yongquan Palace, the power of magic is everywhere, and it seems that the forbidden magic on the continent is still flourishing here, in this elven country.
There are a total of ninety-nine rotating steps, slowly ascending, after walking through the last step, in front of the eyes of Kester, a huge platform appeared, the mist swirled on the platform, the center of the platform could not be seen really, and above the head, was the huge crown of the giant tree where the Yongquan Palace was located, lush and green.
Captain Ficcio then walked forward, followed by Kester and Ferda. After a dozen steps, we entered the middle of the fog, and a large tree house made entirely of branches and rattan was woven into view. "Ah, plants?" said Kerster, feeling rather surprised.
Ficcio "shh ”
That's when Kerst understood.
The three of them walked into the house, different from the freshness outside the house, the Yongquan Palace was extremely dark, except for the green shining "guiding star" dancing up and down on the wall, there was no light.
In the middle of the room, there is a high chair, which is the Elven Throne. A small body, sitting upright on a throne. The light in the room was not very bright, and Kerst couldn't see clearly whether that figure was the Great Elf King.
The figure on the throne seemed to be woken up by the sound of the three people coming in, he slowly raised his head, rubbed his fingers carefully, and to his surprise, on the inside of the house, suddenly a golden light flashed, and the light started from the throne in the center of the house, advanced along the ground, and gradually painted a golden pentagram on the ground, illuminating the whole room at the same time.
At the same time as the golden pentagram appeared, the surrounding "guiding stars" scattered in all directions, and soon disappeared into the golden light, and I don't know where they were hiding.
Captain Fizio bent down and saluted, "Honorable Elf King, Minister of the Duchy of Kaman, Lord Koster and his lieutenants." ”
Kist stepped forward, and just as he was about to salute, the clear and pleasant voice of the Great Elf King came, "No need to be polite, Lord Kister." ”
Only then did Koster raise his head and carefully examine the Elf King on the throne.
The Elven King is the oldest and longest-lived creature on the continent, and the only elf to have experienced the last glow of the Magic Empire. During the First Continental War, the Great Elf King was already active on the front lines of the Uprising Alliance, fighting side by side with the Human Alliance.
After the war, the Great Elf King, who had gained great prestige and honor, signed a treaty of friendship and peace with the Human Empire, and brought his people to this barren hill by the Morro River, and planted the seeds of Tedashir, which completely transformed this barren hill in the next few decades.
Finally, under the combined effect of the power of elves and magic, the barren hills turned into misty forests, and Teldashir became the core main city of the elven kingdom, and the great elf king, the origin of everything, sat on the throne of the Yongquan Palace day after day, watching the ups and downs of the continent.
None of this was known to Koster and Feida, who only looked up at the elf on the throne, who looked very old, but could still vaguely see the handsome king of his youth. On his forehead, there were wrinkles left by the passage of time, and his two faces were covered with runes unique to elves, just like the runes on the buildings outside.
The elf king's green hair has gradually turned green-gray, there is no coiled hair, it is softly draped behind his head, and on his head, he wears a green leaf ring made of some kind of plant twigs, exuding a faint fluorescence, and in the middle, there is an egg-sized eastern pearl.
Kester didn't speak, the Elf King took the initiative to stand up, and Captain Ficcio saw it, and let out an "ah" in surprise, and hurriedly bowed down and bowed to the ground. Kerst and Feida didn't know what was going on, and looked at the Elf King at a loss.
The Great Elf King slowly walked down the throne and came to the front of Kester, but did not speak, but turned to Feida behind him, he closed his eyes and felt it, and Kester saw that the runes on his face seemed to light up, and he didn't have time to be surprised, only to hear the Great Elf King say in a loud voice: "It's a long-lost and familiar taste, but it's still so disgusting!"
Before the words fell, the runes on the face of the Great Elf King flashed, and Feida suddenly exclaimed, and Kerter was surprised to find that there was a trace of black mist on Feida's body, which slowly poured out. At first it was just a little hair, then it became thicker and longer, and under the guidance of the Great Elf King, these black mist intertwined, rolled, and struggled with each other.
Feida didn't dare to move in the black mist, and kept asking for help with his eyes. Kester was also at a loss, and could only patiently watch the movements of the Great Elf King.
As the light of the runes on the face of the Great Elf King flashed, the black mist was gradually pulled out of Feida's body, and then slowly drifted towards the pentagram on the ground.
However, it didn't have any effect, and the black mist still approached gradually without any way, and finally after it was completely exposed to the golden light, it made a "poof" sound, and just turned into a puff of green smoke out of thin air and disappeared.
The rune light on the Elf King's face gradually dimmed, and he also opened his closed eyes, looked at Feida, and then turned and walked towards the throne.
Feida, couldn't help but move her body, the lightness and agility that she hadn't felt for a long time since the injury seemed to have returned to her body, and she couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Caster, I, I seem to be fine!"
Kerst also looked excited, he turned around and bowed to the Great Elf King, "Great Elf King, Feida She, has the dark magic on her body been cleared by you?"
The Great Elven King, seated on the throne, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep again, without saying a word. Kerst and Ferda didn't know what to do, and Captain Ficcio next to him looked confused, and he didn't know what to do.
Note 1: I borrowed the name of the elven homeland of World of Warcraft to pay tribute to my youth.
