Chapter 80: The Name of the Night
Thanks kaqwl1 for the tip!
The silver moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the entire Emerald City.
At the time of the full moon, Luna, who was favored by the moon god, finally woke up at this time.
Roger, who was holding Luna's little hand by the bed, was overjoyed and hugged Luna tightly.
The news of the elven princess's awakening quickly spread throughout the entire Emerald City, and those elf refugees from Shenmu City immediately breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
After Luna was injured and unconscious, even with the strong suppression of the Great Elder, the elves of Shenmu City still had several small conflicts with the residents of Emerald City. Despite everyone's restraint, Luna doesn't wake up for a day, and the thorn in everyone's hearts can't be removed.
Now that Her Royal Highness Princess Luna has finally woken up, the elves from Shenmu City can finally sleep peacefully.
The residents of the Emerald City quietly came to the square under the guidance of the alchemy troops.
On one side of the square is the Heroic Altar with the statue of the goddess of nature. And today, on the other side of the altar relative to the hero, there is one more altar.
It was the altar of the goddess of the moon.
Luna, dressed in a moon-white robe, was standing in the center of the altar, while Roger looked at her apologetically.
It was not Roger's intention to have Luna, who had just woken up, preside over such a grand ceremony herself.
However, Luna, who was eager to understand the current situation of the Emerald City and had a heart-to-heart communication with Roger, unexpectedly discovered Roger's new plan in the bottom of Roger's heart. After much thought, Luna agrees to this plan, but disagrees with some of Roger's other arrangements to take care of her body. After all, tonight is the full moon, and this is the most suitable day of the month for such a ceremony.
After repeatedly confirming that Luna was in good health, Roger reluctantly agreed to Luna's opinion and let Luna preside over the ceremony herself.
After all, Roger, a druid goddess of nature, is obviously unlikely to know about all the little taboos of the moon god as Luna, who is the daughter of the moon.
The three elders who rushed over after hearing the news touched their beard and smiled bitterly.
He was really shocked by Roger's audacity when he just learned of Roger's opportunity, but the three elders who came back to their senses could only smile bitterly.
After all, according to the legal principles of the elves, Luna really has the right to do this.
Ramias, who had just arrived in the Emerald City in a hurry, was kneeling on one knee beside the altar at this time.
Whatever the reason, Ramias, who was not there to protect Luna when she was attacked, was clearly derelict in his duties.
Although neither Roger nor Luna blames her, Ramias can't face the guilt in his heart.
Mom patted her on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort. For Mom, it would be a dereliction of duty for her to promise Luna to protect Roger, but luckily nothing happened to Roger.
Anne and Elsa stood beside them with Tuna and Wendy, both closest to the altar.
Seeing that the inhabitants of the Emerald City had roughly arrived, Luna stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"I've worried everyone, and now I'm fine."
Under the influence of magic, Luna's voice reached everyone's ears very clearly, and the originally chaotic square gradually fell silent.
When Roger was leading the troops, Luna's efforts were known to every resident of the Emerald City, and it can be said that it was because of Luna that the Emerald City was able to develop from that small alchemy town to the present.
During this period of time, Luna actually encountered a lot of troubles, but she tried her best to solve these problems, and strive to make every resident of Emerald City live in peace in Emerald City.
This gives everyone a considerable understanding of the third princess of the elf clan who has never had a sense of existence. For Her Royal Highness the Princess, who didn't leave the government hall very much, the residents of Emerald City were very grateful.
Compared with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is good at leading troops, and Her Royal Highness the second princess, who is good at dancing and good at foreign affairs, Her Royal Highness the third princess, who has a gentle personality, is obviously quite good at handling internal affairs.
The residents of Emerald City, who originally belonged to the Eastern Tribe, now think that Roger is cunning and cunning, and when he first came to the tribe, he aimed at Her Royal Highness Princess Luna, who was not at all conspicuous at that time.
Regardless, Luna's importance to the Emerald City is well known, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who rarely shows up, is clearly an important pillar of the Emerald City.
So when the Assassins came out of the refugees of Shenmu City and assassinated Luna in full view of everyone, the people of all ages in Emerald City were excited.
Although the Great Elder who arrived in time suppressed the rebellion between the two sides and invited the Third Elder to treat Luna, the residents of Emerald City were still very worried about the kind-hearted princess.
Now that Luna was standing on the altar unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gradually quieted down, ready to hear what Luna had to say.
Seeing that the residents of Emerald City in the square were quiet, Luna continued: "The drow elves of the drow in the dungeon came from the underground passage on the border of the Lion Duchy in the north, and attacked the elven territory in a big way, which directly led to the fall of Shenmu City. ”
"And now that the Drow are besieging Luye City, the green defense line in the north is now in danger. The Great Elder had already gone to support with several generals and the Elemental Legion. ”
"But that's obviously not enough! But it was already the limit of what the Great Elder could do. ”
"Because we don't have the military command of the Elven Territory now, the elders of the Elven Clan Elder Corps rejected the Emerald City's request for support on the grounds that the Emerald City was newly built and its strength was insufficient. So only the Great Elder, who was not nominally a resident of Emerald City, came to support with the Elemental Legion. ”
"But the rangers who once followed Garon and Hawke to the battlefield of Shenmu City in the north are really unwilling to watch the brothers and sisters of Luye City fighting like this, while we do nothing!"
"So we decided to be independent here!"
Roger strode forward, stood beside Luna, and took Luna's words and spoke loudly to the Emerald City residents in the square.
"In the presence of the goddess of nature!"
"In the witness of the Goddess of the Moon!"
"In the name of the Lord of the Emerald City and members of the Elven Royal Family!"
"We're building a new elven branch here!"
"It's called Night!"
Quietly, one hundred and twenty Phantom Marksmen, led by Melina, appeared on the side of the square and entered the square with neat steps. These phantom shooters, including the newborn Melina, are all phantom shooters who have "awakened", which makes people have to sigh: they are worthy of phantom shooters!
In fact, only the "awakened" alchemy class is eligible to participate in this ceremony.
On the other side, the dragon clan led by the golden dragon Makasha was too large, and only the golden dragon Makasha and the two golden dragons who had been by her side that day were represented. Roger already knew that one of the two golden dragons was Makasha's husband Bell the ninth-order golden dragon, and their daughter the seventh-order golden dragon Isa Raiya.
Iseraia, who was not yet an underage, also stuck out her tongue at Roger, only to be slapped by Bell's tail again, and immediately lay on her stomach with tears in her eyes.
Behind the golden dragon was the eighth-order ancient tree spirit army from Shenmu City, the Great Elder did not take all the tree spirit troops with him, and a considerable number of eighth-order tree spirits were recuperating in the Emerald City, and the emerald city tree spirits had not yet grown up.
Even if many of the unicorn troops and spirit deer troops with a base level of the sixth order were "awakened", only a hundred unicorns came as representatives of the Warcraft troops. Although they already knew the inside story in advance, the unicorn family obviously didn't mind wading into this troubled water, after all, the unicorns had a good impression of Luna, who was favored by the moon god.
There are not many people who can use unicorns as mounts, even the elven royal family, at least the murderous eldest princess, although she also has unicorn mounts, but obviously no second and third princesses are popular with unicorns.
And after the Phantom Shooter troops, there are Druid troops led by Ina. There are not many druids who are spellcasters, and this time there are also a hundred druids who come as representatives of the druid forces. However, except for Ina and other druid elders who have been following Roger, who are at the peak of the seventh order, the newborn druids in the Emerald City are only the first to enter the sixth order.
Next to the druid troops is the elven archer unit, the backbone of the elven race. These elven archers who have all "awakened" look at the equipment on the phantom shooters at the front, and they are obviously a little envious.
A little further aback, the Moonblade Dancers led by Elitan Emerald, these members of the "Chengguan" suffered many casualties in the face of the legendary Assassins, but the rest "awakened" in grief and anger. At this time, the Moonblade Dancers also had a hundred warriors as representatives of the Sword Dancer line, quietly following behind the elven archers.
Illidan's eyes were now covered with an enchanted cloth from Roger, and the magic on the cloth would replace Illidan's lost eyes, giving her far more vision than before. However, what made Roger speechless was that the moonblade dancers behind Elidan also blindfolded their eyes with enchanted cloth one by one, but the blindfolded cloth was of different colors.
It is said that because the magic vision without dead ends has received praise from Elidan, the Moonblade Dancers have followed suit, which has annoyed Illidan a little.
Behind the sword dancer troops are the flower fairy troops and the forest demon troops, and because the number of "awakenings" is too small, the two troops of the same goblin clan are mixed together. The flower fairy at the head was a little afraid to look into Roger's eyes, and kept looking dodgy.
The "awakened" flower fairy has never dared to ask Roger for a name, but Roger, who has known that she has "awakened", still finds her before the ceremony and gives her a new name: Ys Emerald.
So now this flower fairy looks particularly embarrassed.
Once the alchemy forces representing force were in place, Roger nodded to Luna and strode towards the Goddess of Nature's Heroic Altar. When Roger arrived at the statue of the goddess of nature, the two of them began to pray to the god at the same time.
Almost instantly, the idols of the two goddesses lit up. The Third Elder immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this meant that Roger and Luna's actions had been approved by the two goddesses, so there would be no major problems.
Soon, two pillars of light rose from the statue of the goddess, and the pillars of light merged together in the sky above the square, turning into a rain of light and falling in the square.
At this time, the inhabitants of the Eastern Tribe, which originally belonged to the Great Elder, walked into the square without hesitation, and the representatives of the alchemy force only occupied the corner closest to the two altars, and the rest were still empty, and at this time, the inhabitants were filling these gaps.
Some of the inhabitants joined the baptismal rite first, and the rest of the inhabitants joined in, but some retreated into the shadows.
Sakurahime, the witch of the water, with two subordinates, watched this scene from a distance with some helplessness. In fact, when Roger went to the Misty Swamp, Luna had already handed over the devil's contract documents to Sakurahime, but the ensuing war forced Sakura and the three to stay here.
After all, if you want to leave the elven territory now, you have to go through the war zone, which is obviously very dangerous.
The refugees from Shenmu City had long been awakened by the movement here, and many refugees who had been helped by the residents of Emerald City also joined the ceremony. Among them, the most conspicuous are the former Pegasus riders.
Roger and Luna looked at each other from afar, smiling in unison.
The inhabitants of the baptismal rite are the newborn Nightborns.
Under the light and rain, the residents of different skin tones and hair colors gradually changed, even Roger and Luna were no exception.
Ramias, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head sharply to meet the falling rain of light, and Mom smiled at Anne and Aisha, and also silently bathed in the light rain.
Only Tuna and Wendy did not react in the rain of light, after all, they are the hero lords who belong to the elemental camp, and even if they are willing to join the Emerald City, they will not be able to enjoy the baptism of the gods.
Under the light and rain, everyone received the blessings of the two goddesses, the injured and sick were healed without medicine, and the healthy felt more and more light. Whether the elven inhabitants are of mixed race or not, their ears are slightly elongated, their bodies and faces have become more perfect, and their bloodlines are closer to the current elven royal family. The non-elven inhabitants did not have elongated ears, but their stature and countenance improved, as if they were all half-elves.
Of course, this is not only a change in appearance, but also a purification of strength and bloodline, but the residents of the non-elven line have obviously not been improved as much as the residents of the elf line, but they have been improved in terms of physical fitness.
Perhaps due to the assassination of the spider queen, the moon god was quite angry, and with the help of the power of the ritual, Luna's strength was directly promoted to the legendary level.
At this time, Roger and Luna were actually connected with the help of Annie's power, and Roger, who had a bad taste, decisively connected with Luna and Luna through Luna, and made a small request.
This request made Luna laugh and cry.
The Luna seemed to agree, and even took the Goddess of Nature with him, and the hair of everyone present, including Roger and Luna, gradually turned purple.
Unlike the golden color of the elves and the white of the drow elves, the hair of the Night Elves can be dark and light, but all of them are purple with a bit of luxury.
The light and rain gradually thinned out, and finally slowly disappeared.
Everyone in the square slowly woke up from their baptismal fascination and saluted Luna and Roger in unison.
From this day forward, Luna and Roger are the patriarchs of their elven branch.
Of course, the patriarch refers to Luna, who is from the royal family, but it is clear that Roger is the boss behind the scenes.
Roger and Luna, who slowly converged, looked at each other and smiled, the jasper bamboo in their hands and the Moon Guardian slowly crossed together, and the two announced in unison to the entire elven realm.
"From this moment on! Night Elves! Establish! ”
PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
