Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Mabel is the elder of a small elven village, inhabited by no more than 15o, located 2oo in Sarri, east of the Green Capital, and has been harassed due to its proximity to the infested area of the slave catchers. However, the eastern part of the Tiya Forest was rich in resources and food, and he was unwilling to move to the more barren west and north, so he could only live in anger and numbness.
Mabel had moved to the Tia Forest from the time of the Kingdom Call, and he could have said to the young man with a sigh and pride: "I am like an ancient reader witnessing the pages of Tia's history turning page by page." However, the recent history books have been turned too fast, which makes the old man feel a little illiterate.
The dragon settles in the forest, the unicorn vassals Tia, the princess breaks the slave fortress, the first king is assassinated, the temple directs the riot, the queen succeeds to the throne, and the lord of rituals is declared a cult. Shocking events followed one after another, in less than eight months, and that was not enough time for Mabel to complete a sculpture. When the rangers came to the village, took a tough attitude to arrest the temple priest, and burned down the shrine, he had the feeling that the world had gone crazy when he woke up.
The rapid change in current events made Mabel feel panicked and depressed. And this emotion reached its highest point when he received a notice ordering the elders of each village and all the minor elves to go to the Green Capital to witness the founding ceremony of the new sect.
"Then let's go!" Mabel said indignantly, each village and settlement sent 4o% of the elves to watch the ceremony, and tens of thousands of elves gathered in the green capital at once, and they must be able to make a mess of the girl who wants to come out of the way, and when she cries her nose, she must teach a few lessons.
There are a lot of people traveling, and they are all old and young, so of course it is very slow. The rangers escort Mabel and his elves around the dense and treacherous jungles and swamps. Their indifference to the elders and their rude behavior made Mabel very unpleasant, and the sudden incident escalated the unpleasant to the eye. Most of the young elves had not left such a distance, and they were all excited. It is hard to be restrained by playing. Five children fell from a tree while fighting, one of them broke his leg, and the others also had flesh wounds.
Mabel asks the rangers to escort the wounded back to the village, but the rangers refuse.
"The queen has decreed that all minor Tia must go to the Green Capital. ”
Mabel was shocked and angry, and an argument broke out on the spot, and the rangers' faces grew colder and colder. Until a young female elf intervened to reconcile. The female elf named Candace is very young, and it is strange that she is not a ranger but comes with the rangers, and is clearly respected. There are no too luxurious jewelry and clothes on his body, and his clothes are decorated with a lot of fresh branches and leaves. Talking is like a fresh warm breeze.
"Please wait, I've sent a message and the healer will be there soon. Candace said.
But the older elf still frowned, and he suspected that it was perfunctory.
The grass and trees heard the sound of the rope, and two white creatures, one large and one small, came out, and the elf suddenly exclaimed, and Mabel's face softened. Candace whispers to the adult unicorn, who holds his horns against the wounded in a flash of white light. The broken leg was healed. He then asked the little unicorn to treat the child, but either the wound did not heal completely, or the white light made the injured person's head rub a few inches longer. The children were so excited.
The elven elder's ill feelings towards the new king have decreased slightly, and the only reliable thing she does is a unicorn. When he sees the children trying to pet the baby unicorns. Immediately reprimanded: "Do not blaspheme holy creatures, do not touch them!"
To his surprise, the adult unicorn glanced at him and said, "Looks like it's going to take some time for you to accept us." ”
Mabel was taken aback. For the first time, I knew that unicorns could speak.
"We are neither myths nor playthings, we are an intelligent race like you, friends of two feet. The unicorn finished. Regardless of the elves with sneered faces, let the little unicorns play with the children.
The unicorn is gone, and Mabel continues to keep his face composed, feeling that his prestige has been compromised, and neither the Ranger nor the Unicorn have respect for the authority of the elders.
Of course, the road of one or two hundred surreys would not be walked entirely on their feet, and they saw many small sailing boats at the ferry, and many more elves who were on the same way to the green capital.
On a boat, Mabel conversed with nearby elders and complained.
"Princess...... The Queen's order was too harsh, and it certainly didn't go into the Council of Elders to agree. ”
"The Council of Elders was dissolved, ordered by the Queen. ”
"What! How dare she? It's a trampling of tradition. ”
"What's more, as soon as the faith of the Lord of Ceremonies was suppressed, she started a new sect. If you want to win people's hearts, you can't make it up, and the ranger who escorted me over actually said that the queen can summon the spirits of the lake and make the seeds sprout and bear fruit. When did the politics become a burlesque drama, relying on tricks and rumors to intimidate. ”
The more the elders spoke, the more indignant they became, and agreed to protest to Drusilia, demanding the restoration of the Presbyterian Church and the return of power and military power. Their voices grew louder and louder, and the other ships heard them as well.
Captain Ranger grimaced, eager to poke a hole in the board of the elders' boats and let the old antiques sink into the river. "I'm going to stop them!" he couldn't help but stand up.
"Don't go. The Candace accompanying the team also had a sad look, "Your Majesty ordered to escort them to the green capital, don't do anything superfluous, I will just report their attitude to Your Majesty." There was a pecking sparrow in her palm, and she covered her mouth and whispered a few words before letting it go, flying straight to the green capital.
By the time the fleet reached the port of Shattered Star Lake, the elders were ready to tactfully and sternly point out the Queen's absurdity when she appeared, even if she was punished.
"Be careful!" shouted someone at the port. A large batch of logs for reconstruction was piled up on the shore, but the rope that tied it suddenly broke, and the logs rumbling into the water flowed straight to the elders' boat.
The older elves were pale, and the huge beams of wood rolled from the boat to pieces, along with its passengers.
At this moment, the flotilla and the water in the center of the log suddenly set off a huge wave, and the log rolled upside down like the palm of the hand back to the shore. The water level dropped suddenly, and the elders fell to the ground, and when they got up, they saw that the huge waves seemed to be split by a sword, neatly divided into two, and the water wall seemed to retreat to both sides like a curtain, giving way to the figure of the protagonist.
Queen Garanord's majesty was unusually strong in the rumbling of the water, and the wind blew through it, making her long and cloak hunt. Hold the Spiral Yamu Staff. The sapphire at the top of the staff and her eyes sparkled.
Standing on the water, Drusilia shook it from afar, and the swinging fleet immediately stabilized. With another push of the hand, the flotilla entered the trestle quickly and steadily.
"I'm sorry, elders, but the green capital is still under reconstruction, and the materials are stacked a little messily, so you won't blame the hard-working craftsmen for this, right?" Drusilia smiled implicitly.
Mabel had long forgotten what she was going to say, they were like a group of old monkeys who challenged the Monkey King, and now she was a tiger. The subtle smile was more aggressive than the sharp eyes, and Mabel couldn't look at it directly. After a few words of confusion, he quickly took people away.
As the children passed by, Drusilia gave them a look of kindness and tenderness, and nodded to them. When the elves were all gone, Candace stood beside her and said, "Your Majesty, using force to force the elders to shut up is too arrogant, and it will leave a bad reputation." ”
"I don't need them to sing about my reputation. "Drusilia said," Candace. You are the first Tiya since ego to communicate with nature's will, and although you have not yet mastered spells, I have high expectations for you. ”
"A qiē is your gift, 陛xià. Candace had a warm and determined look in her eyes. "If it's not you. I was long ago engulfed in the great flood. ”
"Then you have to understand that these compatriots are outdated. Their minds are still immersed in the tree of the decaying empire, and if they can't wake up in time, don't blame the ruthless elimination of the laws of nature. And the shoots that have not yet been poisoned by staleness. This is our goal, and it is also the future of the Tiya tree. ”
In the early hours of the morning, it was darkest. Only the glimmer of light from the moon. Tia, who had more than 50,000 people, walked out of the house and the temporary station, each holding a candle, and a huge river of fluorescent light appeared in the night.
There are a lot of people, but they are not crowded at all scattered along the vast shores of Shattered Star Lake. The elves whispered to each other, not knowing what was going to happen. On the other side, Hora led all 944 unicorns to stand quietly, the moonlight radiating holiness on them.
And the golden scales of Lesatos shone in the night, but there was no one around. It looked like he was also there as a guest.
Drusilia and Lysatos looked at each other, and the latter nodded. She cast a spell on herself, and the light enveloped her, and then flew into the air, and the conversation immediately stopped.
"My fellow citizens, my Drusilia, the new king of the Tia Forest. In the last hundred years, the Elven race has experienced its darkest history, and due to weakness and isolation, arrogance and short-sightedness, Tia's proud spices and fabrics have become treasures coveted by mankind. They used all kinds of methods to blackmail and deceive, which evolved into hostility and vendetta later. Tia, a 50,000-year-old people, was besieged in their homeland, surviving on trees and swamps. ”
"In the cage constructed by man, we enjoy a slow and cruel delay, and every year our compatriots are taken captive out of the forest to meet the perverted needs of humanity, and every month the cries of despair echo in the forest. No one feels safe, and any goodbye can be forever. ”
Drusilia's voice was loud and low, and there were bereaved elves in the crowd who wept silently.
"Even in the muddies of deep pools, Tia will not give up struggling. But our enemies are not only outside the forest, but also inside the forest. The teachings of the Lord of the Rites have always blocked the progress of civilization, and the dwarves have broken off relations with us. And two months ago, the most terrible rebellion was born. ”
"Including my father, the former Elven King, a total of 2o76 elves were killed in the rebellion, including 398 children. The Queen's voice did not tremble, but it contained great grief. The crowd who heard the bloody real number exclaimed one after another, and many people knocked over the candle flame.
Drusilia said heavily, "As of now, according to the population of Guò, there are ...... Tia in existence," she paused, and spat out two words with difficulty.
“...... Less than 100,000. (To be continued!)
