503 Crowned King I

Three days later, the Holy Peak Church sent a delegation of envoys for peace talks, and brought a large number of gifts, so that the largest war between theocracy and royal power in this century finally came to an end, and it can be said that there was no winner in this war.

In the Millennial Empire, the loss of the peak warrior Turayan lacked a representative figure in the field of high-ranking fighters, and the overall state of lack of talent was even more prominent; the loss of one-third of the Storm Legion and the death of many veterans and mid-level non-commissioned officers would also delay the pace of expansion of the Legion, and it would take at least three years to make up for this loss; the Templar Order's march all the way to the top of the Templar Empire seriously damaged the rich and powerful national image of the Millennial Empire, causing some organizations and individuals to have strange thoughts, and the impact was silent and far-reaching.

In the Sacred Peak Church, the fall of the Scarlet Arbitration is far greater than the shock to the outside world, because only a small number of people in the outside world understand the meaning of the "Judgment Town Giant", and those who have not experienced the heretical punishment month will never know the horror of the Judgment Town; The result of the hard work, the cost of pouring is incalculable, and the fact that this priceless team was almost wiped out on its first expedition and did not achieve the corresponding strategic objectives, much to the chagrin of the church's upper echelons.

For the people on both sides, such an outcome is acceptable, and the collision of the two major forces will hurt both sides, and it will mean that the world will usher in at least another ten years of peace.

For Charlie, unlike his defeat of the Templars in the Jade Mine, it had countless spectators and was followed by many bigwigs in various ways, and Charlie was completely in the field of vision of the Waglans, whether it was the Empire or the Church, like a rising star.

When people call Charlie, they no longer call him "the son of Archduke Thomas", which means that Charlie has achieved a feat that surpasses his father when he was 19 years old, and some people list Charlie as "the strongest magic swordsman of this century" and "the successor of the legendary magic swordsman Dante", Dante is a legend in the history of Wagland, and he can be compared with him, which shows how much Charlie's reputation has reached.

In this case, Charlie's rapid retreat became a wise choice, not only to further his popularity, but also to win the favor of young people, who did not want a benchmark that could never be surpassed to always be active in front of their eyes, which would only set off their stupidity and failure.

The empire did not accept any of the positions promised, and the rewards of equipment and materials were not less than that. Riding a floating airship transporting supplies to Fort William, Charlie entered the half-plane, and Fury told Charlie to come to the half-plane as soon as possible before returning to the half-plane, something important was about to happen.

After not entering the half-plane for months, the scene inside has changed dramatically.

The entrance to the half-plane is obscured by lush trees, the canopy covers the dome sky, the body of the tree is thick, covered with green moss, the strong roots protrude from the ground, and some inexplicable small white flowers grow between the gaps, constantly exuding a cold fragrance.

Charlie took a deep breath, the air was moist, and he could feel the vitality contained in it, which made people feel refreshed, and there was a sheep intestine path at his feet, and there were road signs on both sides of the path, this scene and this arrangement had a clear elven style, as if returning to the home of the twilight elves in the depths of the twilight forest.

"Who?!" a small cheetah emerged from behind a tree and in the blink of an eye it turned into an elf boy about ten years old.

At a young age, he can master the transformation skills of the druid, which shows that this little boy's talent is quite good, and he is sent to monitor the movement of the entrance, and there is also the intention of training him, but this little guy is directly exposed to the intruder, and his performance is relatively immature.

"I'm Charlie, take me to Elder Morrowind. Charlie replied casually, he thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect the elf boy to bow to him and lead him forward.

It didn't take long for Charlie to see the Tree of Life, and after a few months, it jumped up more than twenty meters, standing out from the crowd compared to the short and thick trees clustered around it, and not only that, but it also highlighted the beauty of the difference.

The tree is long and well-proportioned, neither thin nor fat, the bark is turquoise, tenacious, and the branches are thriving upward, even from a mathematical point of view, its proportions and data present a sense of beauty.

Perhaps sensing Charlie's arrival, the branches of the Tree of Life were windless and automatic, and the pale green particles of life were spit out from the leaves, and soon a thick cloud of life formed around the tree, and under the light of the dome daylight, a colorful flying glow was bent, startling the elves perched on the side of the tree.

Somewhere in the depths of Charlie's soul, there was a trace of joy, that emotion came from the tree of life and his soul, it felt like a child meeting his parents, joy, attachment and warmth, that feeling so clear, it meant that the tree of life had gotten rid of the chaos and confusion of the eugenic period, and the self-consciousness was becoming more and more complete.

Charlie looked around, and found that a large group had been formed around the tree of life, and the elves he saw in his vision were no less than a hundred, covering all ages, including many faces, they were not the natives of the Sunset Elves, but the elven slaves that Charlie continued to replenish in the later period, and now, these elves have adapted to the life of the tribe, gradually forgetting the pain they suffered in the past, and integrating into this tribe.

The two moon wells under the tree are overflowing, the water of the wells is pure and clear, and there are constantly wisps of star power, which is the magic of the moon well, it can absorb the essence of life and turn them into a magical star power, which is said to have the breath of the moon god Elune.

In addition, the inhabiting tree houses, the hunter's hall, the knowledge ancient trees, and the elder altars are scattered, all of which have completed the initial construction, and when these living structures take shape, it will herald the full recovery of an elven tribe.

The elf boy entered the prayer, and Charlie stood in front of the square of the tree of life, when suddenly a black-haired and short-eared human entered, arousing the curious eyes of the elves, some of them put down the polychord in their hands and kept a vigilant posture, some looked at Charlie and whispered, and some simply hid themselves and hid in the woods.

At a glance, there was not a single acquaintance in sight, which made Charlie sigh at the rate of expansion of the Sunset Elf population, of course, this was his credit.

At this time, in the surprised eyes of many elves, Morrowind and the elven elder group came out.

Morrowind sighed with emotion: "Charlie, you finally have time to come back." ”

Charlie smiled and said, "If you don't ask Fufeng to bring me a message, it is unlikely that I will come in for a short time, the situation outside is relatively chaotic, and I really can't leave." ”

Morrowind waved his hand in accord and said, "Come!" ”

Soon, the group arrived at the treehouse next to the Tree of Life, and the others were dismissed, leaving only a few elders and Princess Wendini.

Charlie was the first to ask, "How's the development of the tribe?"

A grateful application appeared on Chenfeng's face, and he bowed slightly: "Thanks to several population replenishments, especially the addition of the last batch of 1,000 elves, our tribe has completely gotten rid of the predicament of decline, and currently our tribe has 1,793 people, including more than 1,500 young and middle-aged people, including as many as 1,100 female elves, which is close to one-third of our pre-decline."

Moreover, more than 300 female elves have conceived in the last three months, and with the help of the moon well, our conception rate is very high, and this birth rate is close to the level of the sunset elves in their heyday. ”

Charlie smiled: "This world is so small, there are no foreign enemies, life is carefree, and I don't usually do things like having children, what can I do?"

Elder Morrowind blushed and said, "It can't be said that the high pregnancy rate is due to the high mate rate, we have added a large number of young elf members, and in recent months there have been more than 400 couples who have been married, this number is unimaginable in the era of the Twilight Forest.

Before the Battle of the Twilight Forest, our tribe had a population of more than 4,000 people, and at that time there were not so many young elves, and the population was aging, unlike now, we are a young and energetic tribe!"

Night Wind couldn't help adding: "Yes, in the War of the Dead, many of our young soldiers lost their lovers and their hearts were like ashes, but as time passed, the pain gradually subsided, and many soldiers found their lovers again with our encouragement, thanks to Lord Charlie." ”

Lord Charlie, this title is a bit awkward, elves are used to calling their clansmen by name, at most they show respect in their actions, and they will not be reflected in the title, and the performance of Night Wind can also reflect some of his intentions, it is indeed Charlie who saved the endangered tribe.

Charlie smiled and said: "I sold a very important technology to the empire, so as to ask the empire for 2,000 elves, which is a large part of the transaction, and it is indeed a big price, but I am very happy to achieve the current effect, and besides, they have only cashed in 1,000 people at present, which means that there may be some personnel replenishment in the future." ”

Fury Feng opened his mouth and smiled, "This is good news! More than 2,700 young elves, I seem to have seen the strongest moment of the Sunset Elves!"

Nightwind and Ventini also show signs of excitement.

Morrowind, the Ranger General, glanced at Charlie meaningfully, his wise eyes touched each other, and he smiled implicitly, as they and Charlie intersected more and more, some questions were presented before the two, the biggest of which was inevitable - what kind of relationship should Sunset Elf and Charlie end up with?

Looking back, Charlie entered the territory of the Sunset Elves for the first time, and he was just a passerby, an outsider with good intentions. However, the next war of the dead they experienced together, and the invasion of the devil, under a series of coincidences, the home of the Sunset Elves was destroyed, and they escaped into Charlie's half-plane, at the same time, the Tree of Life Kabbalah gave the last seed to Charlie, and Charlie brought the seed of life into his half-plane and activated it with his own blood. The Sunset Elves may not need the protection of this half-plane, but they absolutely cannot refuse the protection of the Tree of Life, the reality is so cruel.

From that moment on, the fate of the Sunset Elves was in Charlie's hands, although he never showed a strong attitude and was careful to maintain the dignity of the Sunset Elves.

Morrowind persuaded himself in his mind more than once, persuading himself to admit the reality, to accept the reality, since he was under the fence and could not get rid of it, he had to put himself in the right position, the sooner he adapted to the new role, the less pain he would have in the later stages.

Elves are a proud race, and it is better to let them die if they want to submit to a human being, but as long as one condition is met, elves are the easiest race to submit.

Morrowind sighed in his heart and said respectfully, "Lord Charlie, do you have any requirements for us?" I will adjust the tribe's plan to match Lord Charlie's ideas. ”

Fury and Nightwind felt a little confused by Morrowind's sudden use of honorifics, and as for Wendini, she was a fan of Charlie herself, and she didn't think there was anything strange about Morrowind's words.

Charlie seemed to understand Morrowind's mentality, handed him an appreciative look, and said eloquently: "Now that the Sunset tribe has begun to enter a period of development, I hope you will not indulge in the tranquility of this half-plane, the outside world has entered a period of turmoil, and our living space is being compressed."

Under the nest, there are no eggs, I believe you all understand this truth, our interests are tied together, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

Therefore, I need stronger military support, and I hope that the Morrowind Patriarch can train more warriors! I hope that there will always be an elite elven army in the plane at my disposal! We will fight together! Defend our homeland together!!"

Morrowind nodded, "That's for sure, I've been doing this, and Fury Wind is always ready to respond to your call." ”

Charlie bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, I am very grateful to Elder Fury for his contributions in the last few wars, and at the same time, I also hope that more and more advanced powerhouses will emerge from the Sunset Elves!

Morrowind nodded heavily and said, "Speaking of which, it just so happens that I have an idea for you, and this idea is also related to a piece of good news. ”

"What's the good news?"

"The Tree of Life is about to be promoted!"
