Although they believed that the Lost Locks would keep away all outsiders except the elves, out of caution, hundreds of elven warriors and mages scattered all over the island, either in the woods or flying in the sky, almost immediately, they found Eloch and Lucier, the first to find them was an elven mage, as soon as he saw Eloch and Lucier, his tense expression quickly relaxed, and he raised his hand in the air and made a gesture, the young elven apprentices who followed him slowly descended with him.

As soon as the elven mage's toes touched the blue sand, Eloch greeted him, stretched out his arms, and held his friend's arm tightly, the warm and familiar touch made the elven mage dispel the last trace of doubt, and they hugged each other: "Star protection," the elven mage said happily: "Eloch, I thought it would be a long time before you returned." "If it is a normal travel, when the outside world is in chaos, of course, the elves can return early, but Elohe and Lucieu have a mission, and they can certainly give up before getting the result, but this will inevitably be disappointing and frustrating.

"Our mission is accomplished," said Eloch, "the missing dwarves and gnomes have been rescued by our companions and friends, and the golems they created under evil persecution have been confiscated, but unfortunately the culprits still don't seem to be heard...... But I feel that at least Lucieu must come back. ”

"You're doing the right thing. The elven mage said that he had seen Lucieu, and the elven girl looked a little weak, but her eyes were like emeralds in the bright sunlight, full of life, and surging ...... An emotion that was difficult for him to discern for a moment. Of course, he hadn't remembered this light for a while, and he had seen it in the eyes of many humans during his travels, and it was called ambition.

Although they had only spoken a few words, a loud chirp had already sounded in the sky, and a giant albatross with a wingspan of more than nine feet swept over the dense forest, and its shadow had crossed a third of the islands in an instant, and when she heard the news of her daughter, the lord of the Emerald Forest Island, who had been impatient, could barely control herself when she saw that small figure, she did not wait for her mount to fall, but jumped directly from a height of hundreds of feet, and before her robe fell, Lucieu flew over, and the hug between them was much more intense and intimate than that between Eloch and the elven mage, and it is no exaggeration to say that especially the motherIt's like she wants to put her child in her body again. Her eyes were full of remorse and pain in the same color as Lucie's - in fact, if it weren't for the insistence of several older elves, she didn't want Lucieure to leave Emerald Forest Island when she was just an adult, of course, adult travel is indispensable, and as a king, she also knows very well why her ancestors made such a rule- The elves may refuse to fall into the mire of the world, but complete closure will only allow them to slowly weave a cocoon that will gradually lead to the demise and degradation of the race, or there will be other powerful people who will tear the cocoon apart, and at that time, the elves who stick to a corner may not even have a chance to resist.

When the news of the chaos in the southern kingdoms reached Lynn Island, if it weren't for Eloch's letter, perhaps Amman, the king of Emerald Grove, would have gone to land desperately to find his daughter. This impulsive behavior obviously shouldn't have happened to a king who needs to be calm and reasonable, and the elders of the Elves of Eya can't help but worry about it, but they also have a hard time blaming Amman, who is different from Ingway, the king of the silver-crowned jungle, who is gentle by nature, but also a little inexplicably stubborn and vulnerable, similar to the meaning of her elven name, "Star Stream" It fits perfectly, so in the beginning, the heir of Emerald Grove was her younger brother and not her, but in the Battle of the Gods, the king of Emerald Grove at the time, that is, Amman and Ingway's mother, had a fierce dispute with Ingway over the choice of elves - Ingway's personality is the complete opposite of Amman's, and he has always believed that the elves should be more deeply involved in the affairs of the continent, rather than stuck on an isolated island, watching evil and darkness destroy all that is good, and perhaps the elves will be injured, killed, or degraded, but in any case, they have at least fought against them, rather than cowardly waiting for the final announcement.

The phases between them caused a split between the elves, the black-haired Eya elf and the blonde-haired Singh elf made two branches, Amman was always on her mother's side, she was angry and sad about her brother's behavior, but what made her even more emaciated was that she had to take on heavier responsibilities, although Amman and Ingwe's education can be said to be equal, but Amman has deficiencies in many places, which has nothing to do with gender, it can only be said that her character is not suitable for being a ruler- If it were among the human beings, she might not be able to do more or better than An Rui in the White Tower, but fortunately, there are many elders like Perante in the Emerald Forest Island, who carefully assisted the unexpected king of the Forest Island, guided her, and protected her, but such kings and courtiers are destined not to make the Emerald Forest Island change much, their thoughts and codes of conduct seem to have been left a thousand years ago, even if the Silver Crown Forest has made a lot of changes, they still have not wavered in the slightest, whether it is the mind or the body。

Amman lost two children before Lucieu, the last time she not only lost her lover, but even almost lost Lucieu, she almost died of grief, if it wasn't for Angelis, the god of life, answering the prayers of the priests to let Lucieu return to her mother's arms, maybe she would have died out completely, and it is because of this that she cherishes this child very much, Lucieu is the second name that the latter has, which means emerald light, and this name is poured with the love and hope that Amman can give.

Amman's heart, which had been hanging in the air for months, finally let go of Lucieure's arms, and she threw a grateful glance at Eloher, but her expression changed slightly as the other person bowed to her slightly.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Although the Emerald Forest Island and the Silvercrown Forest are located in the north and south, there are many places that are very similar, for example, the elves here will also build their houses between the trees, and Eloch has his own place of residence in the royal court and the tribe - his room on the edge of the dense forest stands on a wide banyan tree, surrounded by dense olive trees, this time, it is the time when the olive trees bear fruit, and the ripe fruits stretch out from the green branches and leaves. The green and black eggs are, as one human poet described, "one of the most harmonious sights you have ever seen in your life." "They signify the beginning of life, but also a bountiful harvest, and the fragrance of olives floats between the branches and leaves, which makes people feel happy and relaxed.

Because Eloch had finally ended his long journey not long ago and returned to the relationship on the island of Lin, although the elves of Eya wanted to know the situation of the outside world, they still endured it and did not rush to disturb him, and Amman did not seem to summon him to ask about the details of his travels, and no elves would recklessly arrange him in a team of sorties or patrols, and he got an exceptionally comfortable and peaceful life. The sunlight shone through the layers of banyan leaves on his hut and the corridor and drawbridge outside, forming speckled golden stars, and there was silence all around, and if an elf happened to be here, he would be puzzled. Elves are not human beings, they are children of nature, in this case, they do not fear and reject any natural creatures like humans, at the elves' houses, you can see birds coming to collect seeds, you can also see gophers busy collecting fruits, or non-venomous and venomous snakes, and countless insects and arthropods, they will always make a little noise, but there is nothing here.

Lucieu felt a little strange as she walked across the drawbridge, but her heart was so filled with anger, grievance, and insecurity that she forgot everything at the sight of Eloch, who greeted her as she walked out of the house. She hurried to Eloch, holding out her hands and grasping at the hem of his shirt like a toddler, at first hesitating for fear of rejection, but Eloch pulled her into her arms without saying a word.

"The gods are above," Eloch asked softly after a moment, "who is it that makes our little Emerald sad?"

Lucie didn't speak.

"Come in," said Eloch, "I think you should be in need of a cup of olive tea." ”

In fact, Eloch not only served a cup of olive tea, but also a light wine with snow honey, compared to the piping hot olive tea, the cool and delicious snow honey wine under the freezing of magic instruments was undoubtedly more favored by Lucieu, she did not speak, Eloch did not urge her, but waited patiently, constantly pouring precious snow honey into the silver cup, snow honey can make people's minds clear, but light wine can make people's minds confused, Lucieu's perception has never been so keen, reason does not know when it disappeared without a trace, she did not notice anything wrong, she knew very well what she was doing, but did not realize that her emotions were surging violently, the desire to pour out is stronger and stronger.

"I failed. She said, and Eloch didn't seem to be listening, he pulled out a astrolabe and began to place flags on it. This attitude made Lucieu less nervous, she held the silver cup, looked out the window, there was still so silence outside the window, there were no birds, no clumps of insects, she gasped slightly, forced tears: "My mother rejected me. ”

"What did you ask for?"

"I just wanted to be able to help Cremar," Lucie said shamefully, "I thought, I thought I could get her...... Allow," she paused, and then said as if in justification, "I'm not just for Cremar, Eloch, you see, it's not just a war between gods and gods, between humans and men, it's also a war between evil and good, we might have been able to hold on to Lynn a thousand years ago, but can we really be able to do it a thousand years from now? It's not that if we stand still, those tentacles of sin won't invade our territory - you see, danger...... Dangerous...... It's closing us, and if we want to be supported by others in the future, then we should at least make a gesture. ”

She took a deep breath and muttered as if to convince herself, "I don't want much, I know what the Singh elves of the Silvercrown Forest do, I just need, a few warriors, mages," she looked at Eloch, as if seeking his support, "maybe some water of life...... These are only a small part of the Emerald Grove Island, and they will not affect its roots at all, and I am confident that Kremar will allow my companions to return safely...... He was a, so gentle...... Did you say yes?"

"He is not a wicked man. Eloch placed a chess piece on the astrolabe: "But your mother will not agree, first, Cremar is a descendant of the Red Dragon, even if the other half of his blood belongs to Aya, he is still an extremely evil and despicable creature in your mother's eyes, and I said that we abandoned and almost killed him, and he is likely to take revenge on us—from you; Your mother will never allow them to be lost in the hands of humans, and even the Silver Crown Jungle is not beginning to shrink and reduce its cooperation with humans?First the White Tower, then the Highland Normans, don't tell me Kerryburn, is there any Singh elf by his side, no, he stays with Cremar as Kerryben, a ranger, not the king of the jungle. ”

But I ...... "I couldn't do what Kerry could have done, and Lucie's heart was dark, she knew her weakness, and she knew that it was something that only time could make up for, but she didn't have time."

"Your mother knows why you want to be involved in the human struggle," Eloch picked up another piece and put it in the astrolabe, "She knows that you are there to gain the love of Cremar, so she will never give you a chance, she will not allow you to get close to Cremar again." ”

"She's going to imprison me. Lucieux said desperately.

"That's right," Eloch agreed, "I think so too." ”

"But what about my freedom, what about my will, have you just ignored them?"

Eloch looked up at her, and then he suddenly smiled, a smile that made Lucieux feel a chill: "So what," he placed a chess piece in the girl's hand, "You don't even have a piece in your hand that belongs to you." ”
