Chapter 603: Behind the Scenes
Seven days later, the Council of Elders of the High Elves.
"You are doing this against the will of the Holy Tree!"
Elder Sindonar stood on top of a seat in the Council of Elders, slapping the stone table in front of him angrily with his hands, his gaze coldly sweeping over the other four elders.
Three of the elders ignored Elder Sindonal's anger and chose to leave the Council of Elders directly.
The discussion ended in a huge divide of opinion, and the only elder who remained was a friend of Sindonal's... Quay Toan, an astrologer who wields prophetic abilities among the High Elves.
"I don't understand." Elder Sindonar held the edge of the stone table, and the strength was so great that there were some cracks on the stone table, "The sacred tree has expressed its will, 'pinning its hope on the forgotten', but the other elders are not moved at all!" ”
"Sindonal... Sindonal, how old are you? ”
The astrologer Quiytoan walked around Sindonaar and asked a question that seemed offensive to outsiders.
"One thousand and thirty-seven years old." Elder Sindonar spoke of an age that had reached middle age among the High Elves.
"I'm three times your age." Astrologer Quiytoan said in a slow and calm tone, "In the year I was born, Arthur Crowe had not yet risen into the sky. ”
"Arthur Crowe didn't rise into the air?"
Elder Sindonar was taken aback, he had never heard of this, not any of the High Elves.
In all High Elf ideas, Arthurcro is a city that is forever suspended in the sky.
"The history of Arthur Crowe's past is a history written by the blood of our people." Astrologer Kuitoan held out his hand, on which a lilac inscription appeared, motioning for Elder Sindonal to take his hand, "You are qualified enough to know the past. ”
Without any hesitation, Elder Sindonal directly shook the astrologer's hand, and the picture in front of him suddenly changed completely.
An Athur Crowe with unprecedented prosperity appeared before his eyes.
"A group of three thousand young humans visited Arthur Cro, and we accepted them amicably in accordance with the will of the sacred tree, and they established a dwelling on the edge of our city." The voice of the astrologer Queitoan echoed in the ears of Elder Sindonal: "Their civilization has developed beyond our imagination, and the sacred tree and we have both put aside their pride and exchanged knowledge with those humans. ”
Elder Sindonal's eyes widened as he looked at the world of more than three thousand years ago, and the scene presented in front of him was not the height that Nolan could reach today, and those human mounts were not horses, but also magical machines that could soar high in the sky.
"But they brought disaster."
As the astrologer Queytoan said this, Elder Sindonar took a step back abruptly, as a large amount of gray mist rose from the ground, and the ground cracked in an instant, and mud poured out of the cracks.
The bustling buildings of Arthur Crowe were destroyed overnight and... The last thing Elder Sindonar could see was his own people scattering and fleeing, brutally slaughtered by a group of monsters he couldn't name.
And everything that Elder Sindonar saw was through the eyes of the astrologer Queitoan.
He was a first-hand witness of that disaster.
"Humans? You say that humans are the forgotten? ”
Elder Sindonar clutched his head, and the illusion in front of him suddenly disappeared, and there were many doubts in it that he still couldn't understand.
"Yes, we once followed the will of the Sacred Tree, but it brought the Sacred Tree to the brink of extinction, and our people were close to extinction, and Sindonar should remember that sentence now."
"'Don't trust blasphemers again.' ”
Elder Sindonar muttered this in the High Elf language, but he was stunned for a moment before saying it again.
"But Arthur Crowe is in crisis, Quiytoan! The Forsaken really has the power to save Arthurcro! ”
The moment Elder Sindonar said this, the ground shook suddenly.
They all knew what the tremor meant, and Arthurcro had dropped in height again, and it wouldn't be long before the city in the sky would fall to the ground.
Elder Sindonar stared at Kuitoan... He slowly closed his eyes and said.
"My granddaughter has been away from home for more than a week, but her breath of life is still undiminished, does it have anything to do with the forgotten person you refer to?"
Elder Sindonar didn't know how to answer for a moment.
This order was under the Holy Tree, and the general meaning was that the Sacred Tree needed to be served, so Elder Sindonal sent an elven patrol team to the Hearthstone Tavern in the name of scouting.
In the past week, three patrol teams have visited the Hearthstone Tavern, and no more than three High Elves have been able to emerge from the Tavern.
The fact that his own people were imprisoned by an outsider had always been a pimple in Elder Sindonal's heart.
"Proof of it."
Seeing Elder Sindonal's silence, astrologer Quiytoan spoke again.
"Let the Forsaken prove to me that he has what it takes to save Arthurcro, and I will support you."
………………
"Do you want to prove it? But that's what I expected. ”
Qiao Xiu sat in the branch of the Forgotten Lands and listened to Elder Sindonar's latest information.
"Can you prove it now?"
Elder Sindonal had seen Tyrene's concert live, and the frost elf had only stood on the stage and sang a few songs, and the power of faith he had collected was probably a thousand times greater than the energy that the High Elves had provided to the sacred tree.
This was also the reason why Elder Sindonar trusted Qiao Xiu so much, he knew that Qiao Xiu had this possibility, but what made him hesitate was... There is no 'human worshipped' among the High Elves like Tyrene.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll arrange it a little, and then you can call that elder over." Qiao Xiu said.
"That astrologer can accurately judge the energy provided by any one of his clansmen."
Elder Sindonal was telling Josieu to be cautious about this matter in this way.
"I'll keep your sacred tree fed." Qiao Xiu's voice was very confident.
"So... What about the candidates? ”
Elder Sindonal tentatively asked that the principle of the Sacred Tree's energy acquisition is faith.
The soul of the High Elves is linked to the Sacred Tree, which means that as long as a human admires a High Elf, then the belief of that human will also be absorbed by the Sacred Tree.
That's why it's important to choose the High Elf who is 'worshipped by humans'.
At this moment, Elder Sindonar had many suitable candidates in his mind, and there were many high elves with beautiful singing voices, as well as many charming girls.
"Al."
Qiao Xiu took off the sign of the apprentice elf priest very clearly.
"Who?" Elder Sindonal was stunned for a moment, as if he was deliberately hypnotizing himself to mishear the names listed by Qiao Xiu.
"Al, all I know is her name, the kid you visited Nolan last time."
Qiao Xiu repeated it again, this time even if Elder Sindonar pretended to be stupid, he couldn't fool Qiao Xiu.
"That kid—" Elder Sindonal muttered for a moment, but he really couldn't find any words to describe Al.
"Pretty nice girl." Qiao Xiu said.
"It's really good, Al has a talent for being a priest, but it's a little difficult for humans to worship her." Elder Sindonal hurriedly dissuaded Qiao Xiu from such a risky act.
"It's not difficult, there are already many humans on the magic network who are interested in Al, all I have to do is push her."
"There are already quite a few humans? Those humans are really... Is it a normal person? ”
Elder Sindonal looked at Qiao Xiu incredulously, his expression as if he was questioning, 'Are those human heads really fine?' ’。
"There are actually quite a few reasons for humans to worship another person, and it doesn't have to be beautiful and good-talking, although Aral has both." Qiao Xiu explained.
Elder Sindonar saw that Qiao Xiu supported Al so much, and he didn't plan to say anything about it.
"In... Are the High Elves who live in the Hearthstone Tavern okay? Elder Sindonal asked one last question before leaving.
"I can only use it to describe it as too comfortable, if you don't believe me, you can ask the sacred tree." Qiao Xiu said.
