Chapter 021: The Death of the High Priest

The natural elven temple of the Moonlight Forest, this temple has existed since ancient times, and has been protected by holy magic since ancient times. Therefore, this temple has existed for thousands of years and still stands.

No elf knows where the power that protects this temple has come from and will return. Or rather, no one has ever noticed the power of this temple.

The temple's peaceful power was gradually disintegrating, as if a seal was slowly being undone.

The High Priest also noticed this, and the hand holding the ancient tree staff was sweating slightly.

The High Priest had lived for nearly three thousand years, and had never encountered anything like it.

Behind the High Priest, that is, the altar under the High Priest's seat, was shaking slightly, and a breath was constantly stirring, and white light was shining through the cracks around the altar, from hazy to clear. When the high priest turned back suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted from the altar, a burst of dust flew, and a figure appeared in the light and shadow. The figure had wings, it was an elf! Strangely, the figure was in the light, and there was no shadow. The High Priest's eyes revealed horror.

An elf! an elf without a shadow!

The high priest's face was a thousand years old in an instant, and the cane was inserted into the ground, and the cane was almost a foot into the stone slab, and then the ancient tree staff grew green branches and leaves, and the original protective aura appeared, blocking the dazzling light, and gasping for breath. And beads of sweat were already oozing from the high priest's forehead.

"Who was it? who woke me up?" a loud voice came from all sides of the temple, causing the entire temple to tremble faintly.

The High Priest is a prophet of the natural elf race, and he can predict the future, but he did not expect that under this temple, there would be a such elf in the temple that he had guarded for two thousand years. And this elf is full of killing.

The shadowless elf stepped down the steps towards the High Priest. With each step, there was a faint vibration on the ground, and under the light, the elf seemed to have no substance!

"It must be you! I'm going to punish you!"

The light on the High Priest's body slowly began to diminish as the shadowless elves approached, and began to fade slowly until they were extinguished.

Outside the Temple of the Nature Elves, the temple guardians sensed something strange inside the temple. The horrified expressions of the temple ghosts that kept flying out of the temple knew that something terrible must have happened inside.

The guardian did not enter the temple immediately, because he knew that even if something dangerous happened, if the high priest could not deal with it, he would not be able to do anything to enter it alone.

The quiver on the guardian's lower back drew the innermost fiery red arrow, opened the bow, and shot the arrow into the sky, which turned into a flamingo and flew deep into the forest.

Outside the temple, a group of elves came from all directions. Led by an elegant elf, wearing a crown of sparkling gems. The elf came to the guardian: "Are you sure the High Priest is still inside?"

"Yes, my king. ”

This elf wearing the crown is the nature elf king.

"My king, there is a powerful aura in the temple, not of the High Priest. An elven in the form of an elder looked at the temple carefully.

The Elven King was stunned and glanced at one of the elders beside him.

"My king, some legends must be true, and there is no escaping it. The elder said.

"Okay, let's go in now, and the elder and I will go in together. The Elven King nodded and sighed secretly.

The aura of power in the temple was already earth-shattering, and the Elven King only brought one guard and one elder in!

In the Temple of the Nature Elve, the High Priest had turned into a dry bone, and the ancient sapling generated by the Ancient Tree Staff in the High Priest's hand immediately withered, and the protective aura disappeared immediately.

At this moment, the elf king who entered the door of the temple felt that something was wrong. The two elves immediately flew to the inner sanctum of the temple at a speed that broke through the air.

The Elven King and the Elven Elder appeared in the ruined temple, which was empty and there was no one in it. The aura of power also disappeared without a trace.

"High Priest, she, she......" The elven elder froze, and in the inner sanctum, an old and withered elven corpse was supported by a dry cane.

"The High Priest is dead, let's leave the temple immediately!" said the elven king, and the elder left the temple, and ordered the entire natural elf forest to be on guard.

In the Elven Temple, the Elven Elders were discussing something with each other, and the Elven King was also frowning in the crowd.

"There is a strange aura coming from the location of the Natural Elf Temple, as well as the Tree of Life in the Forbidden Land of the Nature Elves, could it be that the evil forces that have been sealed in the ancient times have begun to awaken?" said an elder.

"It's very likely that the ancestors planted the grass of life after sealing those evil forces under the tree of life. The Tree of Life and the Grass of Life live on the power of evil, and now they can't devour this strange power and let it escape, which shows how terrifying this power is!" the other elder sighed, "Could it be that the legendary prophecy is finally coming true?"

"You mean, the gates of hell have been opened? The gates of hell, no one knows where. The forbidden land of nature elves is as vast as the land of natural elves. Even if an army were to search, it would have to take thousands of years. After all, the elven forbidden land is not an ordinary land, guarded by ancient gods, even if we dare not enter it easily so as not to disturb these gods, if an evil force appears here, it will definitely cause the gods to awaken. ”

"According to what you said, should we send someone to the Tree of Life in the Forbidden Land of the Natural Elves to see what happens?" the Elven King asked the elders, after a deep thought.

"The Elven Forbidden Land, although it belongs to our Elven Land by default in other races. However, only we know that this is a separate land, and has nothing to do with the land of the elves. Moreover, the ancestors have already instructed not to easily step into the forbidden land of elves. lest we inadvertently offend the gods, or inadvertently break the seal, and bring disaster to the elves. ”

"But these are very ancient legends, and I don't know if this legend is true or false. ”

"None of us have ever entered the Elven Forbidden Land. Not even the Elven King. Shouldn't we go in and have a look?"

"Only the elven king of each generation of twilight is qualified to enter, and after entering, he must not be able to return. Who knows if it's a holy place or a forbidden place? This ancestor never said it, but it stipulated that we should not set foot in the forbidden land of the elves for generations, otherwise, it would lead disasters to the elves. ”

"By the way, I remember when the previous generation of Great Elders went, they once said that if there was a strange throbbing in the forbidden land of the natural elves one day, the contract on the mirror platform could be opened. ”

In the elven race, the elven king is arguably the most powerful elf, while the elder is the most prestigious and qualified elf. In terms of rank, the elders should be honored by the elven king, but in terms of seniority, the elven king should be honored by the elders. Among the elders, the oldest is the Great Elder, the Great Elder. The high priest is on the same level as the high elder, but his duties are different. And since the death of the Great Elder of the previous generation, the Elven Clan has not elected a Great Elder. Because none of the elves are able to hold the position of Great Elder now.

A shaman is a spirit who is responsible for observing the astrological signs, guarding the gods, and worshipping the gods. Every race will have its own god, and this is true for the human race, and the same is true for the elves.

The mirror platform is in the Moon Temple behind the Temple of the Nature Elve. The Temple of the Moon is not only magnificent, but also vast. Yes, broad. The magnificence of that temple, its value on the ground can be described as vast.

The Temple of the Moon is now devoid of a priest, and after the High Priest died shortly after, there was no one to guard the temple again. The temple was originally a clean place, so it was impossible for the army to garrison it, but in the Moonlight Elf Forest, patrols were intensified than before.

The Elven King took the four elders and stepped into the Moon Temple.

The statue of the Moon Goddess outside the Temple of the Moon has been crawling with rattans overnight, and it looks like it is in tatters. The five people in the group all saw these scenes, and no one spoke.

It was a very disgraceful thing for such an important temple in such a powerful race to be destroyed overnight.

Passing through the apse of the Temple of the Moon, there is an open jungle, the jungle of the temple. In the jungle, a path with bellflower leads to the depths of the forest. There are no other creatures here, only flowers and trees in silence. However, the elves above the elder will know that the flowers and trees here are incarnated by the elves, or rather, the flowers and trees here are all elves, from ancient elves.

At the end of the bellflower is a green wall of lush grass and branches. The Elven King closed his eyes and silently chanted a song, and the green wall immediately parted the coiled branches and leaves, making way for a path that was still lined with quiet bellflowers.

Bellflowers, leading to the depths of the jungle. After the five of them walked into the green wall path, the grass and trees behind them immediately returned to their original appearance. After walking a long way, the road began to open up, and small puddles of water appeared on the ground, and inside the small puddles, and outside were full of small forest elves.

The forest elf looked at the five men silently, then made way for them.

The forest elves are the oldest elves in the Elven Forest, as old as the Tree of Life, yet the most indisputable elves in the world, living only by the waters of the Mirror Tower.

The mirror table, as the name suggests, is a table like a mirror. However, this mirror is formed by water. No one has ever seen the water of the mirror stand flow out, and no one has ever seen it wither.

This mirror platform is the fountain of life in the Elven Forest. The Mirror Stand is far away from the Elven Forbidden Land, but legend has it that the roots of the Tree of Life are just below the Mirror Tower. In other words, the liquid flowing from the tree of life is the fountain of life.

Tree of Life, the word is easy to understand. To outsiders, this is nothing more than a very magical tree, but among the elves, this "tree" is a mystery.

No elf has ever dared to say that this tree of life is a tree, and no one has dared to say that this tree is the tree that has incarnated into thousands of trees and covered the forbidden land of elves. Anyway, this is a mystery, that is, a legend belonging to the elven race.
