Chapter 139: Hope
Although the Elves of Ain El are brave and good at war, the nature of the elves still led them to choose to establish cities in the forest and alder land, and their former king is also known as the Alder King.
Raven, a large city located on the northern border of the elven capital of Tyrnaria, is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has abundant woodland resources. The city was originally the royal city of a small human country, but in the face of the strength of the elves, the small country chose to surrender, and the city, which had not experienced much war, was rebuilt and gradually developed into a bustling city that was not far behind the capital.
Compared to the bustling but slightly chaotic city of the free capital of Novigre, this elven city is more orderly and the interior is more beautiful and upscale, with multi-storey buildings made of white stone with exquisite carvings, and some creeper-like plants attached to them due to their age, making the city full of greenery.
The neat streets are lined with spire-like stone pillars, the tops of which shimmer with a glimmer of magic, and the protective barrier that envelops the city is supported by these facilities, which are obviously recent, and many elven mages can be seen busy around some magical spires that have not yet been activated.
Zhang Lin and the others walked through the streets of the city under the leadership of the elven mage, and occasionally the elves cast their eyes, but they were not mixed with anything, there were still a lot of humans in the city, and the surrendered human kingdom left the right to live for their people in this city that changed masters, but the status was a little low.
The mage who was traveling with him suddenly ran towards a magic spire, and when the elven mage he had found turned around, everyone realized that it was Avalak.
"To be honest, I'm a little bit unsure you're coming." Avarak stepped forward, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "For thousands of years, the Ain El clan has continued its development by invading other worlds, we have witnessed the world of resources running out and withering, and we have also witnessed the sun die and fall into cold, darkness and gradually crumbling planets, but I never thought that we would also be invaded by other races, and the other party is far stronger than us, I even feel that the other party has the power to destroy us easily. ”
Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this always arrogant elf sage to say such a thing: "But I don't think your people are too nervous?" ”
"Because of my return, they actually believe that the strength of the chief elf archmage can withstand those powerful enemies because of my return, look at this barrier on the head, it can withstand hundreds of bombardments from the enemy, so they all think that the enemy's footsteps will be blocked here, but in fact, those enemy attacks are endless, and once our barrier is broken, the city will not escape the fate of destruction." Avalak smiled a little sarcastically, raised his head, and silently looked at the sun that was about to disappear into the mountains in the distance, the day and night in this world were changing faster than in other worlds, and the sun was still hanging high when Zhang Lin arrived, and now it was about to set.
The last rays of golden-red sunlight slanted across the city, the sky dimmed, and the streets of otherworldly houses were gilded with a metallic sheen.
Avalak stared at the sky, not knowing what to think, before suddenly turning around and making a gesture of embracing the sky.
Zhang Lin and the others followed Avalak's gaze to the mountains in the distance, and saw that there seemed to be a light curtain slowly floating between the undulating mountains, like a circle of golden waves.
I saw an arc of light emerge from the mountains, like a curtain slowly pulled up in the dim sky, compared to the light of the sun, this light seemed very soft, but it occupied a small half of the sky, and finally, everyone could see that it was a huge celestial body.
As it slowly rose into the sky, a soft glow fell on the earth, a curvature of light outlining the outline of the planet, and a circle of scattered golden rays dotted around it, making it impossible for the continent to be truly dark at all.
"We have long had the concept of celestial bodies and planets, but we have always relied on the ability of the blood of the elders to travel through different worlds, and we have never thought of exploring this starry sky ourselves." Avalak looked at the sky and sighed, "Our civilization has not even progressed for hundreds of years, as an immortal species, it obviously has a lot of energy to explore the unknown, but because of the long-term habit, the resources are gone, so they go to other worlds to rob it, even the upper echelons only care about the continuation of civilization and do not want to forge ahead, as soon as the ability of the blood of the elders is lost, they panic, when we encounter a stronger civilization, what should we do?" ”
"You've got a lot of ideas." Zhang Lin didn't expect Avalak to make such a feeling.
"By the way, I've heard you know a lot about those guys," Avarak sighed, and although his people had become too blind to their former glory, he still did his best to save his people, whether it was the White Frost that had plagued them before, or the Burning Legion today, "Can you tell me about it?" ”
Zhang Lin paused for a moment, thinking that this mission was to face the Burning Legion that had entered this world indiscriminately, so these native elves could still play a big role, so he slowly told some things about the Burning Legion.
"In a way, you are actually lucky," Zhang Lin smiled as he spoke, "The Burning Legion that appeared in your world did not come specifically for you, maybe it should be considered an accident, only such a battleship happened to fall here, not a fleet. But after all, their purpose is to destroy all living beings in the world, so it is not surprising that after seeing you, they are ready to destroy you by the way. ”
Hearing Zhang Lin's description of the Burning Legion, coupled with Zhang Lin's later additions, Avalak really couldn't laugh, was he lucky? It is difficult for them to resist the legion of such a battleship, and what difference does it make if it is a fleet or not.
"We're not here to bury you," Zhang Lin patted Avarak's shoulder, giving the other party more or less hope after despair, "Since we're here, it means that we're here to do business." ”
"I don't know why, but when you say that, I seem to have a little bit of confidence." Avalak looked at Zhang Lin's smiling face, and his intuition told him to believe in the human in front of him.
