Chapter 229 [Palace on the Top of the Tree]
In the chatter between He Ping and the elf elders, the leaf elevator finally took them to the top of the trunk, and when they arrived here, He Ping was a little surprised, when he was below, he just felt that the area of the trunk of this big tree was like a huge palace, and when he saw the scene at the top of the trunk, he realized that his previous feeling was not wrong, at the top of the trunk, there was really a palace!
It's just that this palace is very different from other civilizations, there are no bricks, no houses, just countless branches, leaves and vines, these green natural materials are just right to make up this alternative palace, dividing the vast area at the top of the trunk into many parts, and in these different areas, He Ping also saw other elves, of course, there were also well-equipped elven warriors standing guard.
The magic power fluctuations exuded by these elven warriors are not low, the worst ones have the general strength of Lianenxuet, and a few are even stronger, of course, the age of these elven warriors is also much older than Lianenxuet, and the strength of magic power naturally cannot be compared, the most important thing is the weapons and armor of these elven warriors, these weapons and equipment are obviously high-end goods, and they are not those ordinary elven warriors and unicorn knights on the periphery can have.
Of course, the number of this kind of elven warriors is not very large, those elven regular troops on the periphery, on the border in one direction, can casually get together a few thousand, if the general mobilization, ordinary elven warriors like Mei Feier can gather tens of thousands, and the Unicorn Knights, including the zero sub-regiment stationed near the root of the Eternal Tree, there are only five sub-regiments, a total of thousands, after all, the unicorn knights are more elite, and it is not so easy for ordinary elven warriors to get the recognition of unicorns.
At this time, these elite elf warriors standing guard at the top of the trunk, only hundreds of people were seen on the top of the entire trunk, even if it was a shift change, the elite elf warriors like this were about a thousand at most, maybe even less, it seems that this force should also be regarded as one of the high-end combat power of the Noldor elves, and the status and combat effectiveness are above the Unicorn Knights, unlike the Unicorn Knights, which is a half-ass, this force is already a real high-end combat power.
"These are the Elven King's guards, directly dispatched by the Elf King, and are generally only responsible for guarding the Eternal Tree and the Elven King, and do not directly participate in the battle, after all, this is our foundation, and nothing can happen." Seeing that He Ping seemed to be a little curious about these Elf King Guards, Birodis lost no time in giving He Ping a brief introduction: "These warriors are veterans of a hundred battles, and they can only be allowed to come to the Eternal Tree for duty after layers of screening. ”
He Ping nodded, and his attention shifted to other places, although these warriors were powerful, they couldn't get into his eyes, that is, they were just a little curious, they knew, they were okay, there were other places around that were worthy of his attention, for example, just a few steps away, he saw dozens of elves concentrated in one of the areas, these elves' clothes were the same as those of Birodis, and the magic fluctuations were also as strong.
"That's our Council of Elders, and those are our colleagues." Birodis pointed to the dozens of elves who caught He Ping's attention and said: "The Council of Elders, including the five of us, has a total of fifty elders, we usually deal with affairs here, if there is an emergency like yesterday, we will be temporarily dispatched according to the situation, because our number is too small, so every dispatch must be cautious to avoid the dilemma of no one available in case of more urgent situations." ”
Looking at these fifty elven elders with strong magic fluctuations, He Ping was also secretly frightened, this is the real high-end combat power, he has seen the strength of Birodis and others on the battlefield, with Bilodis's attainments in magic and the strength of magic power, if there are fifty elven elders of Bilodis's level and fight together, even the Blood Axe Tribe, the largest half-orc tribe in this area, is estimated to only face the fate of being completely annihilated.
Bilodis took He Ping to continue walking, He Ping also saw a lot of different functional areas here, it seems that this is not only the palace of the elf king, but also the government center of the Noldor elf clan, many institutions are working here, coming and going is very busy, and He Ping also saw the arbitration council that he had heard of before on the way, and it can be seen from the regional distribution that the status of the arbitration council is very high, even higher than that of the elders, and even Bilodis seems to be reluctant to say anything more about the arbitration council.
He Ping saw from a distance that the area where the arbitration committee was located was obviously deserted compared to other areas, and almost no one wanted to pass by there, even if it was closer to the side of the arbitration committee, the elves would rather take a detour, compared with the busyness and harmony of other places, the arbitration committee seemed more solemn, and the members of the arbitration committee all had straight faces, without any expression, and were even more serious than Lynchet.
"Alas, although we also know that there are no rules, and the necessary laws must be followed, however, these people's brains are too dead, in their eyes, it seems that everyone is guilty, and those punishments are a bit too severe, so even we don't want to provoke the arbitration council." Birodis continued to move forward with He Ping, and at the same time gave He Ping a general explanation about the arbitration meeting.
To put it simply, the arbitration committee is equivalent to the elf's public prosecutor's law institution, for a mature civilization, the law is of course necessary, but it seems that the arbitration committee seems to be more inclined to suspect guilt, for the elves who advocate freedom, such an institution will naturally not be pleasant, so no one wants to deal with the arbitration committee, that is, they don't know where the arbitration will recruit new members, and what to rely on to uphold the law.
He Ping and his party bypassed the arbitration meeting and continued to move forward, and the arbitration committee obviously would not be idle and find fault everywhere, and after crossing the arbitration meeting, they came to the most extensive area at the top of the tree trunk, where the decoration was also the most ornate, and the number of guards was also the largest, and He Ping had already seen a male elf standing a few hundred meters in front of him, wearing a crown in a robe that was more luxurious than Bilodis's.
If you don't guess wrong, this should be the elf king, unlike other male elves, the elf king's face is closer to that of human males, and it is not as young as other male elves, from a human point of view, the elf king looks like he is about forty years old, although he is not as handsome as other elves, but the aura of being in a high position is something that all other elves cannot have.
