Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Elven King's Capital

After the teleportation light dissipated, Xiao Chen and Elaina appeared in a grand hall. This hall is topped by a stone dome structure. The windows on all four sides are tall and long, and in the middle of the windows are panes made of curved rattans. Sunlight shines through the gaps on the floor, creating mottled marks.

Even if the elven building was indoors, it was overgrown with all kinds of flowers and vines, and Xiao Chen's vision was almost half occupied by the green on the walls and on the ground.

Xiao Chen found that the magic circle under his feet was only one of the more than ten teleportation arrays around him. In the short time he had been here, two more teleportation arrays had also emitted green light.

"Let's go, let's not get in the way of teleportation here. Elaine led him outside. The exit to the teleportation hall is guarded by a team of elven swordsmen and mages. They checked Elaina's badge, checked Xiao Chen with magic for a long time, and then let them go.

"In these years, except for the envoys of the human countries, very few people have been able to come to the Elven King Capital. If there are a lot of elves looking at you curiously, don't mind too much. ”

"I know, I know, it's strange. Xiao Chen said with a smile, recalling the scene when he took his international students back to his grandfather's town to play.

Walking in the stone corridor, Xiao Chen saw that although the material here was the same as the large human buildings, it was too fine to surpass them, and almost every piece of masonry had delicate patterns on it. These patterns tend to be very light-colored, but when the pieces are gathered together, there is a beauty full of details. Xiao Chen couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and took several photos.

"Are you connected to the Internet?" Xiao Chen asked.

"The network, the network of tree hearts? Well, yes. There were a lot of friends who found out that I was back and said hello to me. Elaine, apparently absent-minded, like a modern person looking at her phone on the road, "I'm also asking them about the recent changes in the World Tree." ”

Walking out of the arch of the teleportation hall, Xiao Chen found that they were standing on a small slope, and most of the elf kings were in full view. In the center of the entire royal capital was a huge tree, Xiao Chen saw that the tree was at least a kilometer tall, about twice the size of the Shanghai Tower. The shape of this tree is very peculiar, the bottom two-thirds is a straight trunk, and the top third is a dense canopy, the canopy radius is also nearly a kilometer, very flat, it looks like an open umbrella, almost covering the core area of the entire royal capital. Between the green leaves of the canopy there are many, many flowers and fruits, large and small, of different colors, but all of them emit a faint magical fluorescence, as if the canopy is dotted with many decorative lanterns.

This wonder of nature is undoubtedly the World Tree.

There are also many tall trees in the royal capital under the World Tree, and countless treehouses and stone halls are intertwined among these trees. However, compared to the massive body of the World Tree, they resemble grass and gravel under the tree.

"Isn't it shocking? No one can see the World Tree without being struck by its magnificence and grandeur. Elaine said with pride.

"Of course. Xiao Chen finished taking the photo and said, "I have never seen such a strange scene, I feel like I am in a dream." ”

Elaina nodded, "This is the dream land of all elves. Do you see the big fruits? When each fruit is ripe, a new sibling will come out of it. And those little fruits will eventually become seeds like 'Seed of Guardian', 'Seed of Whispering'. ”

"Under the World Tree is the core part of the Elven King's Capital, right?" Xiao Chen asked.

Elaina nodded, "That's right, see the big hall made of white stone under the roots of the tree?" that's the elven temple dedicated to the god of nature, and the queen's throne is in that temple, but we haven't had a queen for a long time. On the right is the Hall of Elders, where the five elders decide on the major events of the Elven Clan. The one on the right is the priest's hall, I used to live there, and there are four high elf priests, namely the Yang Flame Priest who is good at attacking, the Aoba Priest who is good at control, the Flying Feather Priest who is good at summoning, and the Rain Dew Priest who is good at healing. My strength used to rank fifth among the Yulu priests, but staying with Tian Tian and Luo Ling and treating her injuries should have made a breakthrough now. ”

"What should we do now?" Xiao Chen asked.

"My teacher, Dahni, is the High Priest of the Yulu Clan and one of the Five Elders. I'm going to ask her first and ask her what the World Tree is all about. I'm not going to mention the World Tree sap until I get to the bottom of the situation. As for you, I'll have to find a way to settle you down with a friend of mine first. His name was Dining, and he was a very powerful magician. ”

The two walked down the hill towards the center of the royal capital. The life of the elves is really very leisurely, and most of the elves that Xiao Chen saw along the way were either wandering leisurely, or singing and chanting together, or playing games together. There are also many elves reading books or taking a nap in the tree house or on the branches.

Because the mage robe was not suitable for horseback riding, when Xiao Chen entered the elven kingdom, he changed into a set of clothes: a black thick shirt, a navy blue short windbreaker and black trousers. This novel appearance of human beings made the elves who had never seen such a costume curious.

The elves who had nothing to do gathered back and forth, circling around Xiao Chen and Elaina. But most of them just looked at it from afar, or whispered about it. And no elves came up to say hello. But even so, being visited by hundreds of people along the way also made Xiao Chen a little embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Elves love art and are naturally particular about dressing, and most of the elves around them wear long and short robes with various trims and embroideries. Unlike the flamboyant style that is the latest popular among the human aristocracy, the decoration in the elven costume is all about fine texture and harmonious decoration. But they rarely saw Xiao Chen's clothes with a good-looking shape but simple texture. Xiao Chen didn't know that his outfit had become the hottest topic in the Tree Heart Network today, and he had received countless likes.

"Is there really a problem with the World Tree?" Xiao Chen whispered, "Why isn't there any tension at all except for you." They all seem empty. ”

"This is close to the World Tree, and her power is still strong in this range, and the change is very weak. But I'm the Raindew Priestess closest to the World Tree, and I can feel the change in her, and she's really weak. The other elves weren't that sensitive, they didn't feel that difference. But the priests must have known what was going on. ”
