Elven world.

The endless dense forest, the wind blows endlessly, from a distance, from a high place, the wind blows, and the trees sway.

The thinner branches are bent and shaped by the wind, and only a large and strong enough branch can resist this force.

On a small branch that spread from the World Tree, an elf in armor was running along the branch beneath his feet.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"

Every step that falls, there is a sound.

He kept approaching the end of the branch, and in the darkness at the end, a shadow was there, like a silhouette in the moonlight.

"My lord, the royal court meeting is about to be held, and the king invites you to come over and attend the meeting immediately!"

The panting elf cried out with some trepidation, and the sound was carried in the wind to the pointed ears of the figure.

There was silence for two seconds before the wind brought back the figure's reply:

"Got it, you go first."

The voice was soft, beautiful, cold, kept at a distance, but it wasn't uncomfortable, it was ...... Just like this ubiquitous wind, it can be judged that the person speaking is not very old, and can even be called young among the elves who are famous for their longevity.

"However, such a young elf has already sat in such a high position."

The soldier looked up at the figure and thought.

He naturally knew the identity of that figure, as well as its series of titles: the Great Priest of the Sacrificial Temple, the youngest Great Priest in the history of the royal court, and the Divine Servant......

Legend has it that one hundred and fifty years ago, in the catastrophe that almost destroyed the entire royal court, nay, to be precise, the entire elven race, it was this great priest of Ailu who succeeded in summoning the gods and saving the World Tree and the entire race with his wisdom, wisdom, perseverance and a little luck.

What a laudable thing that must be, thought the soldier.

Although it is said...... As a new generation of elves who were born and grew up after the rebuilding of the royal court, he did not have that terrifying memory.

But the topic of the catastrophe and the reversal and salvation is often recalled and talked about by the elves who experienced that event, and it is precisely under this reminiscence and processing that the aura on Ailu's body shines brighter and brighter.

The status of the chief priest of the sacrificial hall has also become more and more noble.

However, what is surprising is that despite having such a high status and reputation, this Lord Ailu rarely shows her figure in front of people, and even many of the daily affairs of the sacrificial hall are entrusted to the people below, and she herself has always lived in the main trunk of the World Tree, as if she was a retreat.

It only comes when there are major resolutions.

Like what...... Right now.

……

……

The night sky is dark and deep, full of all the romance and mystery.

According to the calculation of the season, the night at this time should be the time when the double moon is bright, round, and the magic power is surging, if there are no dark clouds and rain in the sky, and it is clear enough, then, standing in any corner, looking up, you will see the bright stars and the peerless double moon.

That's the source of elven power.

However, in today's night sky, there is no double moon.

It's not that it's blocked, in fact, it's a very good night tonight, so you can clearly perceive the difference in the starry sky.

Eru stood in the wind, her moon-white robe, a symbol of high position and mystery, draped softly over her body, properly and decently, without any dimensional dissonance.

She hid her hands in her robe, tilted her head, and stared intently, solemnly at the strange starry sky above her head.

"Silver Wolf Galaxy...... The Strange Moon Cluster...... Arryus......"

She muttered to the constellations of the elven world, as a priestess, she knew the galaxy well, but now the familiar palm-patterned stars were all gone.

Even the double moon has become a lonely and strange moon.

"It's definitely not our starry sky."

Eru said to herself again.

The deep night sky is unsettling with countless unfamiliar star clusters, and if you retract your gaze from high and look far beyond the horizon, you can even glimpse the "vanishing border" if your eyesight is good enough.

The original familiar forest of elves seems to have been wiped out by some kind of force, starting from the World Tree, going in any direction, and walking far enough, you will find that the world is broken, the "distance" seems to have been cut off, and the boundless earth has become a cliff.

Empty, like the end of a mythical world.

If you observe it for a long time, you will occasionally catch a glimpse of something strange at the "end".

And all of this happened in an instant.

……

Eru withdrew her gaze from the stars, her figure floated, and with the help of the wind, she quickly disappeared into the lens of the satellite, and entered the dense woods.

The canopy of the World Tree was so large that it was like an umbrella that covered the entire royal capital and the city of the elves under the umbrella to ensure that it was not detected by the sight of the universe.

The canopy of the trees also obscured the lights, and when Eru stepped into the glittering, magical city, she found the entire royal capital in fear.

She ignored it and just made her way into the palace.

Under the respectful gaze of the guards, enter the tall and magnificent hall.

At this moment, the hall is brightly lit.

Almost without exception, all the ministers of the royal court were present.

Everyone seemed to be discussing something, and when they saw Ai Lu coming, the ministers greeted one after another, Ai Lu nodded in return, and then walked to the position of the high priest and sat down.

She looked at the throne.

There, a serious elf dressed in colorful clothes was holding on to the handrail, staring at the courtiers.

"Quiet," Luo Jia, the already somewhat old Elven King, spoke, and the hall fell silent, "Everyone has arrived, and I believe that many of you have already heard the news, but there is still some latest information here." ”

With a wave of his hand, a waiter brought over a shelf with a picture scroll faintly revealing magical fluctuations.

"This is the latest image sent back by the Legion Scouts, and it is what they witnessed at the 'end'."

Luo Jia said.

The "end" refers to the vanishing boundary at the horizon.

As his voice fell, the waiter slowly unfolded the scroll, and the ministers looked over one after another, only to see that the background of the scroll was a sea of clouds, as if at a very high altitude, the clouds were wisps, and the sun was shining obliquely from a distance, and the sky was about to sink into darkness.

And in the sea of clouds, there was a strange-looking big bird gliding.

It has a huge body, comparable to a high-level magical beast, it is silver-white, and there are some strange patterns, it has no eyes and mouth, but it has wings similar to birds, but it is obviously flying, but the wings are as immobile as stone sculptures.

"This strange bird is peeped through the 'end', it doesn't seem to be a living thing, it makes a rumbling sound in flight, it goes straight towards us, but it suddenly disappears after entering the 'end' boundary.

Our scouts hid their bodies with the help of magic, recording it all without being discovered.

One of the archers said that he had seen many window-like objects on either side of the strange bird, with many figures looming inside, but these were not recorded and could not be believed. ”

Luo Jia was slightly old, and his calm voice rolled through the hall, and the ministers couldn't help but change color.

"Dead things can fly...... It's incredible. ”

"I am still firm in my opinion, the other side of the 'end' is very likely to be another world!"

"Another world? I don't agree, in my opinion, it's more like a mirror, a mirror of death, remember the previous experiment? The soldiers caught a bird and threw it over, and the result? ”

The royal court ministers were full of discussions.

Luo Jia waited for a while, waved his hand to suppress these voices, turned to look at Ailu, and asked, "Grand Priest Ailu, what do you think?" ”

As the words fell, the crowd turned their eyes to the overly young archpriest.

However, unlike a hundred and fifty years ago, at this time, even in the solemn royal palace, no one would ignore the words of this overly young high priest.

Almost all of the people who could attend the meeting were old people who had experienced the battle of fate that year.

"I just observed the stars."

Eru spoke calmly, drawing her gaze.

"The night sky above our heads, the galaxy is extremely unfamiliar, I can be sure, it is a completely different star field, according to the elven holy scriptures for the exploration and study of the introduction to the starry sky, I have a conjecture, the source of this change, may be ...... Our world is engaging with a larger world, merging. ”

"What?"

"Contact fusion?"

The ministers were surprised.

Ai Lu nodded, and there was no panic in her tone: "Although the star field above my head has changed, I can still clearly perceive the existence of Shuangyue.

The magic around us is still surging as usual, and there are no abnormal changes, so we can think so.

The twin moons, or the starry sky we are familiar with, have not disappeared, they are still above us, but they are temporarily obscured. ”

"Of course, all this is just my guess, and more information is needed to judge, and......

Didn't a scout look down the branches of the falling World Tree before?

There seems to be a continent beneath our feet, and there are vaguely city-like buildings, and I have a hunch if we are really in contact with another world.

Soon, extraterrestrial beings will try to make contact with us, and when the time comes, everything will be understood. ”

After saying this, the ministers pondered, and after a moment, one of the battle priests worried: "Whether or not Grand Priest Ailu's speculation will come true, in short, we must be prepared, if alien creatures really come, will they be friends or foes?"

It took us one hundred and fifty years and a lot of hard work to rebuild the royal court, and we can't afford any unexpected risks! ”

"Wang, colleagues, I think that we must not act rashly, we should continue to keep secretly observing, shrink our defenses, enter a state of readiness, do not expose our existence for the time being, and wait until we have gathered enough information before making a final conclusion!"

"If it's a friend, it's naturally good, if it's an enemy who wants to destroy our homeland, we must not have any mercy!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Agreed!"

The ministers were shocked and spoke one after another.

The Elf King nodded, got up, and ordered in a solemn voice: "Pass the order, the royal court has entered a state of emergency preparedness, conduct intensive patrols around the royal court, and report immediately if there is anything abnormal, and at the same time, the scouts continue to hide their figures, and observe on the premise of not exposing themselves!"

Although the elves love peace, they are not afraid of war!

It has only been a short time since the catastrophe of one hundred and fifty years ago, and our people still do not lack the courage to fight against the water!

It's a friend, be a guest!

It is the enemy, and it will be called "no return!" ”

"Yes!"
