Chapter 55: The High Priest

At the westernmost end of the Elven Forest is the western coast of the Sea that stretches for thousands of miles, which is the southernmost point of the Ceylon continent, and further south is the endless ocean, and about a few hundred miles to the north, sits the "holy mountain" of the elves - Santa Crutha Peak. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The elves were once thought to have originated here, but because the age is too long, even if the elves have a long history, it is difficult to leave any exact written records, but it only appears in the oral stories of some ancient tribes, so this mountain is difficult to talk about in the eyes of many elves.

With the stability of the continental pattern in the past thousand years, the population of the elves has also moved from the barren Haixi to the middle of the elven forest, where there is this vast and rich land, even the king of the elves is located here, the population center of gravity has moved northward and caused almost more than ninety percent of the elven tribes to be distributed in the northern part of the elven forest, and in the south, except for the sea monsters in the western part of the sea have lived in the coastal area for generations, there are almost no scattered tribes.

However, this is only "almost", such as the ancient elven tribe that has lived in the northern foothills of Santa Cruza Peak for generations, in this huge valley......

José looked at the majestic mountain in front of him, a mountain that was clearly located in a tropical forest, but the peak reflected a silvery white luster in the sunlight of a clear day.

Snowband?

It looks like there is still snow on the top of this mountain, but this is tropical, and I am afraid that the altitude of this mountain must be at least four or five thousand meters!

The valley is surrounded on all sides by tall peaks, almost in the shape of a cloth bag, which encloses this narrow valley, let alone outside the mountain, and even in this valley, it is difficult to see any traces of tribal activity. If you consider the year-round fog in the valley, the winding mountain roads and the huge trees that obscure the sky......

In such an environment, even the headquarters of the elven race, I am afraid it will be difficult to find this tribe, no wonder it will be forgotten for more than a thousand years, except for some lost beasts, who will run in such an inaccessible place if they have nothing to do?

José and the others walked in the valley for about half an hour, and the canyon in front of them suddenly opened up, and a lower basin slowly appeared in front of José's eyes in the diffuse mist!

From a distance, this thousand-year-forgotten land is not very vast, but it is so narrow that it is almost impossible to see the edge at a glance. Although it was at the bottom of the valley, the valley wind was very strong, so there was no fog, and the air was quite dry and refreshing, not as dark and damp as he imagined.

The Guku tribe is scattered all over the land, their houses seem to be built like giant mushrooms, they look like they are made of the bark of some kind of tree, and there is a low bracket under the house, which is similar to the tropical stilt building in the real world, but the foot is shorter.

In the valley, there are hundreds of such bark houses from a distance, and it seems that this tribe has a population of thousands at least, and it should be said that in the sparsely populated elven race, such a tribe is also of medium size.

The people in the tribe found the Messiah and his party faster, and a large group of elves came out of their respective bark houses, curiously surrounding Joseph and Little Maudun, obviously these elves were also seeing humans for the first time, and there were several elves standing at the door of almost every bark house, they greeted the Messiah warmly, but looked at Joseph with a little curiosity and surprise in their eyes.

Soon, led by the Messiah and the Bubu elves, José walked to the largest bark house in the center of the tribe, and heard the Messiah say that this was the residence of the high priest, and although she was the head of the whole tribe, the place where she lived was not too heavily guarded.

It's just that a few elven warriors who are obviously full of fierce smell stopped the road outside and asked a few questions, and the Messiah stepped forward to talk to them for a while, and then let them go, but those elven warriors all looked at Jose with strange eyes.

"This kid can't go in. The Messiah shook his head at Joseph and said, "The teacher only asks to see you, and I can arrange for him to stay first, and then come back to him when you come back." ”

Jose glanced down at the little one, the little guy was very clever, although he was not familiar with this place, but when he heard the Messiah's words, he immediately nodded sensibly.

Seeing this, the female elf named Bubu also smiled and took the hand of Little Maudun, and said to the Messiah, "Leave this little fellow to me," and then squatted down and looked at him and said, "Come, go with my sister, okay?"

After speaking, I remembered that Xiao Maoton couldn't understand the elven language, and couldn't help blinking helplessly, but fortunately, the Messiah was also surprisingly patient, and explained it to Xiao Maoton again. The little guy looked at the beautiful elf sister in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart was slightly reduced, before he nodded, and Ren Bubu took his hand and left.

After arranging the little Maoton, José entered the high priest's residence under the leadership of several elven warriors. The Messiah was at the forefront, and it could be seen that her status seemed to be very high, and the elven warriors on the side all had a look of awe and a very respectful attitude towards her.

José quickly reached the door of the bark house, and there was a green curtain hanging from the door, presumably made of some kind of plant. The Messiah shouted at the door with a respectful expression, "Teacher, I'm back." ”

Soon, a hoarse female voice came from inside the house, as if to say something. After hearing this, Messiah's face became even more respectful, and he turned his head and waved his hand to the elven warriors on the side, and several warriors withdrew with respectful faces.

"Let's go, the teacher said he wanted to see you. The Messiah looked at Joseph, then walked directly up the wooden ladder in front of the house and led Joseph into the wooden house.

As soon as he entered the big wooden house, José immediately smelled a strong fragrance, which was obviously a mixture of many spices, and then after baking and incense, the final smell was formed, which had filled almost every corner of the whole tent.

The space in the room was spacious, much like some kind of cave, surrounded by fine vine-like things woven together, and the eyes were full of greenery. In the middle of the room is a wooden table, which is crudely made, but has a natural and simple feel.

There is also a clay pot and two wooden cups on the table. The clay pot was steaming hot. In the four corners of the room lay several braziers, which were emitting light smoke, and it seemed that the fragrance was from these spices.

At the table stood a figure, dressed in a gray linen robe and holding a long wooden staff. The first time he saw this high priest, Joseph was a little surprised: originally listening to her voice, Joseph thought that this teacher of the Messiah should be an old man with a dragon clock.

And the "high priest" in front of her, she looks like a woman of about forty years old among human beings at most, or even younger. Her appearance also inherits the consistent beauty of the elves, and her temperament is elegant and reserved, but she does not look domineering at all, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

She had a pair of very wise eyes, and when those eyes came, their eyes were full of a kind of wisdom that had been precipitated over the years. This look was not sharp, but being shrouded in such a look, Jose suddenly had a feeling that the hairs on his whole body stood on end.

Seems...... I was seen through by this guy.

The High Priest saw Joseph's somewhat stunned expression, as if smiling, and then stared at Joseph carefully for a while, until José felt a little cold sweat all over her body, and the High Priest withdrew her gaze.

"Guests from afar, the bumpy journey must have been hard, and there are no good things to entertain in the tribe, please drink some weak tea to relieve fatigue. The High Priestess spoke in the language of the Empire of Light, and she smiled slightly, and gently pushed the pottery cup in front of Joseph, her slender fingers white and slender, like the fingers of a maiden.

José thought about it, picked up the cup and took a sip, sure enough, it was fragrant and sweet, without the bitterness of tea at all, but with a hint of refreshing fragrance.

"I heard the Messiah say that you asked her to bring me to your tribe, I don't know ......," Joseph said carefully, and then looked at the high priest with some confusion.

When the high priest heard him ask, he seemed to sigh lowly, but he said something seemingly unrelated: "I can feel that you seem to have the breath of the gods on your body...... Did Sabov leave it to you?"

Jose couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart: "You...... Do you know Mr. Sabof?"

"Teacher, you call him Teacher?!" A hint of surprise flashed on the high priest's face, but this surprise was fleeting, as if she had thought of something, she shook her head and sighed: "Then what you are learning must be Jia Lan's fighting spirit, right?"

"I'm curious as to why you know this, but Mr. Sabov hasn't told me much, maybe this thing can be used as a token, or ...... I need an explanation. ”

Joseph casually took out something similar to an "iron piece" from his chest, and then placed it next to the pottery cup, although his tone was calm, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
