There is a circle of elves around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With all kinds of faces and all kinds of costumes, my eyes are dizzy to see.

But we're not just being watched.

These elves want to try their hand at foreign languages.

There was a girl who looked like an elf who tried more than ten languages before I realized that I could only speak Chinese.

Although the scene was crowded, the elves were not chaotic at all.

As if the sequence had already been filmed according to some criteria, everyone asked at most one question.

It was as if everyone had consulted, and no two elves asked us the same questions.

"What is your staple food?"

"What is the climate and environment of the place where you live?"

"What other creatures live with you?"

It feels as if it's been studied as an alien.

Could it be that Liu Xiao has been bombarded like this?

I looked at Liu Xiao, and she also stared at me.

"No, you don't know, the little girl didn't speak until you came back"

Ellie said to me with her hands spread out, a little embarrassed.

It's like taking a pet to school to show off, but the pet deliberately doesn't get close to her.

"They gave me something to eat...... It felt like feeding rabbits......"

Liu Xiao pouted and complained in a small voice in my ear.

Haha, is that really the case?

"Okay"

Prince Mespil raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"That's it first, we'll go to the council first"

Everyone suddenly fell silent, and the elves who didn't have time to ask questions had a look of regret on their faces.

"But don't worry, everyone will have enough opportunities to ask about things of interest when they come back."

A cheer erupted in the elves.

Maispear raised his hand slightly, motioning for Liu Xiao and I to continue walking.

His Royal Highness the Prince stepped forward, and the crowds on both sides automatically moved out of the way.

We followed the prince forward, past the central platform of the huge cavern, to the other side.

Walked out of the same gate.

The scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.

The cave traverses the entire mountain peak.

We walked to the other side of the mountain, a valley with cedar trees.

Green foliage and grayish-white trunks fill all the corners of the valley.

There is another mountain in front of us, even higher than this one.

A stone bridge hangs over the valley and connects the exit of the cave to the opposite peak.

The stone bridge is much wider than the one just now.

You can see that it is paved with blue-white stones one by one, and it feels unusually heavy.

There are stone parapets on both sides of the bridge.

On the parapet was carved a statue of a venerable person, no, a statue of an elf.

The statues of these elves are life-sized to the actual elves.

Not only are the movements different, but the faces are clear, and even the folds of the clothes and the reflection of the armor are as if they were real.

What's even more surprising is that their eyes are all set with gemstones.

But no two statues have the same eye color.

Walking on top of the spacious bridge, the wind from the valley blows over the bridge, filled with the smell of the magic of the elves.

Liu Xiao also inhaled softly, letting out a relaxed breathing sound.

I glanced to the side, and the wind blew Ellie's long blue hair into the air.

With the deep green of the valley as a backdrop, you can really feel the strong connection between this elf and the land.

This is Ellie's hometown.

Walk across the stone bridge, which is a gorge mouth.

It's as if a rectangular cut has been cut out of the mountain.

The mouth of the gorge is wide and flat.

The vertical mountains on both sides are carved with giant elven statues.

Not only are these statues huge, but their clothing and demeanor are also clearly different from those statues just now.

The statues on the bridge just now looked like ordinary elves.

The content expressed is also the life of an ordinary elf.

Now these statues are even more solemn.

All the statues have their heads bowed sideways, as if staring at the mouth of the gorge with the eyes of a stone carving.

Keep an eye on those of us who are passing through here.

"The greatest of the elven kings of all ages"

"There's going to be a statue here"

Meispier explained to us in a slow voice.

His Royal Highness's long crimson cloak was spread on the ground, as if to emphasize the majesty of the prince.

"Our ancestors and kings have always looked at their descendants and successors"

"No elf can claim to be the master of the Dawn Mountains without their consent"

"No creature can get in here without their permission—"

Walking into the gorge, the atmosphere suddenly became majestic.

Surrounded by a circular space, it is conceivable that the elves have dug a deep circular pit in a mountain.

Then a door was opened to the pit, and the mouth of the gorge we walked through and the space in front of us was formed.

Inside this huge circular sinkhole, a square building rises.

It feels like putting a cardboard box in a pot, and there is a wide flat road around it.

The thick roof of the building is supported by huge stone pillars, which seem to be carved out of a large square block of stone.

The whole thing has a continuous stone pattern, those lines that are either white or red, blue or green, and look like the aurora.

"Dawn Council"

The moment Prince Mespil said the word, his tone was filled with emotion and reverence.

It seems to be admiring this great masterpiece.

"Come on, everyone is waiting for you"

When the prince had finished speaking, he strode forward, and a strong heroic spirit emanated from him, as if it could be seen with the naked eye.

I pulled Liu Xiao and walked side by side with Elle.

The closer you get to this building, the more you can appreciate its enormity.

You need to look up to see the whole stone column, and the multicolored lines dot these integrated stones, which do not make them noisy, but add a strange sense of solemnity.

Walking through the wide arched stone door, the interior of this huge stone block is very spacious.

It has the same shape as the cave just now, and it looks like a gymnasium.

But there were very few seats around, only a few circles.

More space is left for the central platform.

This stone round field is densely covered with colorful lines and patterns, and it looks smooth and cold, a bit like an ice skaters' arena.

There was a soft whisper.

Only then did I notice that there were already quite a few elves sitting around.

Some of them were young, some were old, and they were all dressed differently.

But unlike the elves just now, none of them wore armor.

This is the mind of the elves, members of the Council of Dawn......

Some of these guys look old-fashioned, some look naïve, and some look like scoundrels.

Some look like scholars, some like vagabonds, and some like soldiers with their armor off.

There are really all kinds of elves, and none of them look the same, not even similar.

Unlike the human council, there is always a club of the elderly, and everyone is full of cities with straight faces.

This is probably the habit of the elves, who fill the council with all the different voices.

Judging by the fact that Elle was also invited to join the Dawn Council, this place was indeed able to get the most different voices.

His Royal Highness led us to the center of the circle, looked around, and then opened his mouth.

"Maispear Akasaki"

As soon as the words fell, Elle immediately reported her name.

"Eliehana Akaba"

Then Ellie glared at me.

Liu ...... Liu Xiaoqing"

"Liu Xiao"

Without me reminding him, Liu Xiao reported his name.

In the surrounding ring stands, an elf with white hair and a beard stood up.

"Red cedar, the king's ethnicity, His Royal Highness Mespier"

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly, greeted the prince, and then sat down.

On the other side of the stands, a female elf with long blue hair as thick as a waterfall stood up, and her long white dress looked luxurious and statusy.

"Akaba, leader of the people, Her Royal Highness Eliherana"

As she spoke, she bowed her head slightly, greeting the princess.

Before she could sit down, a crazy guy with a rather casual look and a pair of small lizard-like eyes stood up.

"Liu Xiaoqing, the psychic medium of Her Royal Highness Ellie Heranna"

Halfway through speaking, he grinned, showing a row of orange-yellow teeth, and didn't finish his sentence as if he had reserved something.

When he sat down, another female elf, dressed in a short coat and with short reddish-brown hair, looked superb and powerful, and stood up.

"Liu Xiao, Liu Xiaoqing's sister, a gifted talent, a glorious hero"

After speaking, she put her right hand into a fist in front of her chest, bent down slightly, and bowed to Liu Xiao.

Oops?

It seems like I'm the only one who has been fooled.

And Liu Xiao seems to have achieved a very high evaluation, so much so that Meispear turned around and looked at Liu Xiao specifically.

"Hey, hey, the little girl is also mine, if you want it, I won't give it to you"

Elle stared at Meispier with mischievous eyes, and although her voice was low, her tone was playful, as if she was deliberately showing off to Meispier.

His Royal Highness the Prince showed a rare smile again, as if to say 'idiot sister'.

Between the elves of the two royal families, they were suddenly filled with the warmth of their families.

It warmed my heart.

I didn't know what the wrong thread was in my head, so I turned my head sideways and gently rubbed it on Liu Xiao's head.

Liu Xiao seemed to understand my current mood in an instant, and gently squeezed my hand.

A wave of tacit understanding swirled in my chest, filling my heart.

Sure enough, the family, this thing, no matter what world it is, will make people moved.
