His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince led the main members of the envoy group, including Lin Ke, under the guidance of the elven guards in charge of reception, to wander around the square with great interest, but they were still not satisfied.

"I think if we set off to the top of the World Tree now, maybe we can still watch the sunset there?" His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince looked very interested, "It must be one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world!"

The guards looked at each other, and one of them seemed to be able to take charge and said, "The peak of the World Tree belongs to the Temple of the Goddess of Nature, and if you don't have the permission of the High Priest of the Temple, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be allowed to go up......"

"Oh?" His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince said in surprise, "Are believers in non-natural goddesses denied entry to the temple?" he said with some regret, "Although we believe in the great god of war, this does not prevent us from expressing enough respect for the goddess of nature, the god of war is great and forgiving, and is not as exclusive as the god of light. ”

The guard pondered for a long time and said, "Your Royal Highness from the human world, maybe we can send you to the area near the temple, if the high priest of the temple refuses...... Watching the sunset in the nearby area isn't much different from watching it from the temple......"

"Of course, we are only guests of the elven clan, and we must first respect the wishes of the master's family," His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince spoke very easily.

Riding the bug car again, the speed was increased a lot, and it didn't take much time for everyone to pass through the clouds on the World Tree Avenue without traffic jams, but the clouds in the World Tree canopy were less dim and lightning, and it looked more like some mist.

As the bug cart advanced, there were fewer and fewer treehouses and elves visible on the branches on both sides of the World Tree, until after passing through the clouds, there were fewer elf traces visible, and there was hardly a treehouse visible as far as the eye could see.

As the convoy continued to rise, the speed of the insect cart slowly slowed down, and the air at this altitude was not as dense as in the low places, but Lin Ke keenly found that the oxygen content in the canopy of the World Tree was still much higher than the oxygen content at the actual height of the outside world, which was probably due to the World Tree.

After some more time, the convoy finally reached the summit of the World Tree just before sunset, but as the guards said, they were stopped by the waiting cleric elves as soon as they arrived.

The Nineteenth Prince and other key members of the envoy got out of the carriage and came to the two priestly elves who were waiting, and said kindly, "Hello two, we are envoys from the God of War Empire, although we are not believers in the goddess of nature, we are also in deep awe, if we can, can we enter the temple to worship and watch the sunset outside the temple?" The prince said politely, "If the two of you can't decide this matter, you can report it to the high priest of the temple, and say that we are here with respect." ”

The two cleric elves really couldn't decide, so they left one to wait here, and the other returned to the temple to report.

It's cold in the heights.

There was no strong wind in the canopy, but it was very different when it came to the top of the World Tree, and the cold wind was the same as when it was on the Chimera, which made Lin Ke quite chilly.

The little goblin was even more likely to burrow into the hat of his cloak and never show his head again.

"How about my deputy envoy, can you stand the wind?" His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince looked at Lin Ke with a smile.

"Has Your Highness forgotten that I am a wind attribute magician?" As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, and the howling wind around everyone began to slow down, especially the wind that swept around Lin Ke actually swirled around him as if cheering?

The Nineteenth Prince just smiled and ignored it, while the other members of the envoy changed their eyes.

The look in his eyes didn't make Lin Ke pay more attention, he was just looking at the temple at the top of the World Tree.

In fact, the temple is not alone, but a small group of buildings built on the top of the World Tree, on which several adjacent branches are tangled, and the buildings are connected to each other, which looks like a magical castle in the sky.

It's just that......

Lin Ke frowned slightly, this was the only case of a building he had found on the World Tree that restricted the growth of the World Tree, even the palace of the elves had never restricted the natural growth of the World Tree, and even that large square was built on the platform created by the growth of the World Tree itself, without imposing any intervention.

In Lin Ke's opinion, forcibly gathering several branches together like the temple was already disrespectful to the World Tree itself.

"The high priest of the temple has invited the chief and deputy envoys of the envoy group," the priestly elf who went to report quickly returned here and said to the nineteenth prince.

"Okay," the Nineteenth Prince waved his hand to stop the members of the envoys behind him from protesting, "the two of us will go with you." ”

The clerical elves who reported the news exchanged glances with the elves who stayed behind and then turned their heads to lead the way, while the nineteen princes followed with the same smile, and Lin Ke took two steps forward to stand side by side with the nineteen princes and slightly missed half a step.

"Is that the elf who made a mistake?" His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince pointed to the elven girl who was obviously frozen not far away but was still kneeling on the ground, "You see, if she continues to kneel, I'm afraid she will hurt her body." ”

"If she's pious enough, the great goddess will bless her," the Zero clergy elf head said without replying.

The Nineteenth Prince smiled and stopped looking at the kneeling elf girl, but Lin Ke frowned again, his ill feelings towards the temple high priest who was about to meet increased again.

Soon the two of them came to the largest door in the temple group under the leadership of the priestly elves, and the priestly elves did not step in, but knelt on the ground reverently and performed the worship and gave praise to the goddess of nature, and then said to the only figure in the empty hall, "Honorable high priest of the temple, the chief and deputy envoys from the human world are here." ”

After a long time, the voice of the high priest of the temple came from the empty hall, "Two envoys, please come in." ”

The Nineteenth Prince and Lin Ke walked slowly into the main hall, first saluting the towering statue of the goddess of nature, and then looking at the high priest of the temple who knelt in front of the statue and turned his back on his back.

"Honorable High Priest of the Temple, I have a question for you, I wonder if it's okay?" the Nineteenth Prince asked.

The temple high priest seemed to be praying, waiting until her prayer was at an end before she spoke, "Excuse me." ”

"Why was the temple built for the goddess of nature built here?" said the Nineteenth Prince succinctly.

"It is to keep the reverence of the great goddess in the hearts of the elves," replied the high priest of the temple.

"The awe of the high may not be able to gain the understanding of enough people, but it will cause the loss of believers because of the ethereal distance," said the Nineteenth Prince, "There is no doubt that there is one of the most successful religious cases on this continent, they have high temples, but there are also believers who are within reach, so they succeed." ”

The temple high priest slowly got up but still turned his back to the two of them, "The elven world has always been like this for thousands of years, and a new attempt does not necessarily mean more success. ”

The Nineteenth Prince paused, and Lin Ke said, "In the world of elves, the high priests of the past gods have done well enough, but ......"

"What about the human world?"
