Chapter Twenty-Five: One Night Flying Through the Elven Forest
Siprolos, that is the second of the Seven Orders of the Heavenly Kingdom.
A lush green forest covers almost all of the land. There are no human houses here, only deep and quiet woodhouses built by spirits brought from Mount Pagavaro.
Treehouses are spacious and quiet, usually two-bedroom and one-bedroom, usually around 50 square meters, and there are more ancient and stout trees that can build a treehouse of 100 square meters or even larger, but this is rare.
The house is lit up with a blue night fire, and the colorful natural gemstones are clinging to the walls of the treehouse or hanging from the roof of the treehouse, emitting a faint blue light from the night fire, and sometimes colliding with each other, striking a heart-warming music.
The treehouse was created by the spirits of the forest, but there are also humans here, who live in friendship and work together to protect this dense forest known as the Forest of Sipros.
The interior of this forest is rich in timber resources and gem resources. The elves who moved here are divided into five categories: natural elves, animal elves, elves, white elves and black elves.
There are countless clear springs in the forest, and the spring water has glittering grains of golden sand, although the light is particularly dazzling, but no one wants to go there to scoop it, and the elves believe in nature, for them, the water source is sacrosanct.
Between the rows of treehouses is a wide avenue shaded by trees, paved with bluestone, which the locals paved for passers-by on the upper and lower steps to enter and exit the Ciprolos.
It was late at night when Tythia and Lotosus arrived with their packages on their backs, and the moonlight was shining brightly, and they went out through the winding path of the mountains, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the vast expanse of the dense forest, which covered the sky and the sun.
On either side of the forest stood two square stone tablets that were a hundred feet taller than the tallest blue celestial tree from the Blue Underworld in the middle of the forest, and each stone tablet was engraved with the five strong characters of the Seven Feet Lan Cang Realm and Siprolos. Under the large characters of each stele, the following short song is carved in Elvish and Ancient Natsian respectively:
"On a knee-high wilderness where no man's land is grassy,
There are twilight clouds and streamers,
There is a breeze blowing from the sea,
Graceful people meet unexpectedly,
Burning eyes look at each other.
When Edmia met the clouds and left the wilderness,
The bell on the Elven Mountain rang again,
The glass harp of Xianle plays,
The bluebird in the forest sings,
The waves are also calm.
This is the season like this,
The sky is high and the road is wider,
The clouds are light and the wind is light,
The mountains are full of wild flowers and branches,
The sky is full of stars.
Distant kingdoms of heaven,
In the voice of a beautiful girl,
A magnificent ode that murmurs repeatedly,
There is always a sentence that praises the handsome elf king,
The stars dance in their hair,
Sprinkle in a glass full of fine wine,
Stained the endless night,
Indulged in a century of the world.
When Edmia met the clouds and left the wilderness,
The evil beneath the sea of despair will return to their original homeland,
The lights of the Devil's Domain of Sissos are lit,
The Demon Realm of Byron West is gloomy and dark,
In the icy autumn rain and condensed winter snow,
The demons crossed the snowy mountains,
Over the dark forest,
to the realm of land that is not theirs,
Ignite the fire of sin.
The great oath cannot be broken,
The sin under the darkness is finally torn apart,
Whether it's a roaring dragon or a hissing monster,
Whether it's a hideous orc, or a swamp witch,
The evil spirits of the darkness have long shone on the light,
Inevitably incurs melting,
The sun does not tolerate them,
Justice will also reward them with a deep blow,
forced them to withdraw from the featherlands, to withdraw from Pagavaro, to retreat to Sissos,
Return to Tiange Mountain, return to Gasero,
Like the ice freezes again, like a crumble of earth,
When Edmia met the clouds and left the wilderness,
The warriors of Alpine Snow City,
sprinkled one after another,
Drifting down to the northern realm,
The rising people shouted: "
Adona, the capital of the arts,
The crowd embraces the world,
Three thousand people with banners in the clouds,
The cry was shocking and thunderous. β
When Edmia met the clouds and left the wilderness,
The years flowing with the graceful waters of gold will prove that
This will be the first time in human history that
The greatest encounter. β
"This is Siprolos," said Tithia, pointing to the inscription on the stone path at the foot of the mist-shrouded and majestic mountains, "I have heard that this is a very special place, inhabited by beautiful elves from the elven world, where there are no streets or houses, only a vast forest that is green all year round. β
"Elves?" asked Lotusas, "I've heard of this beautiful people, but I've never seen them, what they look like, you know?"
Tythia shook her head, "Although I was born here, this is the first time I have come to such a distant place so far away, so I have never seen them before, only that they are beautiful and kind......"
The night sky is full of stars, and the bright starry rivers are floating around. In the distant forest, pieces of "dandelions" with white light bounced up from the tops of the trees, and the ups and downs were like jellyfish in the sea, and the last ones rose into the air, and after a while, they fell down and sank into the lush forest, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"What's that?" asked Lotosas, pointing at them.
"Maybe it's the dandelion elves of nature, that's what my grandmother once told me, although they are dandelions, they are alive. Tithia stared at the sky and smiled, "They must have been breathing in a deep sleep just now, and the sound of the forest breathing made it feel eerily silent. β
With that, she closed her eyes, puffed out her chest, and took a deep breath in a delighted manner.
"Lotusas. Tythia closed her eyes and smiled, "Like the elves, everything in this world is alive, and if you calm down and perceive carefully, you will surely hear their subtle and silent breathing." β
"We're all tired, let's go to that beautiful place and rest. She took Lotosas's hand and ran down the wide avenue in the woods into the depths of the forest.
Lotosas paused, her sudden action left Lotosas a little too late to react.
At dawn, the forest was still dark. Early the next morning, the two were woken up by a shrill call.
"Hey, hey, human friends. A bird-like voice said, "You have come to the door of your friend's house, and he is too small and has no strength to open the door, and he has no breakfast." β
When they opened their eyes, there were more than a dozen tall, short, short, fat and thin people around them, and at the front of them stood a heavenly human woman, dressed in a green pleated dress, and on her shoulder stood a hook-billed white bird with a light blue feather on the top of its head, and the sound came from its mouth.
Tythia and Lotosus stood up at a loss, putting away the package and two lyres on the floor, until a little elf as long as Moruz pushed open the round door of the Abyssal Tree House from behind them, and they realized that there was a house behind the tree.
"I'm so sorry, we didn't mean to, we really didn't know we were leaning against your door. The two bowed and apologized.
"It's okay, human friend. The elf who came out laughed, "I like human friends very much, because they are versatile and extraordinarily kind. β
"Don't be afraid. The human woman in front of her said, "They are all good elven people, and they won't hurt you, where do you two want to go? Why do you sleep here at night?"
"We're heading to the City of a Thousand Gates of Music," Titia glanced around, "This forest is huge, we don't know the way, can you tell us?"
"The City of a Thousand Gates of Music?" said the woman, "it seems to be in Adona, far, far away from here, and you are walking like this?"
"Hmm. Titia nodded.
"Are you going to perform there? You two are really good, it's not a place for ordinary people to go. "We're going to have a party in the Forest Hall every night, and it would be nice if you two were there." β
"If you two are willing to participate, the atmosphere will be lively, and then we will send you out of the forest," the human woman said to the others, "I suppose you must all agree to this proposal, right?"
"Of course I agree. The surrounding elves shouted happily, "When the time comes, let the three-element beasts of the forest take them out of here." β
"Really?" said Tythia, smiling overjoyed, and bowing deeply to the crowd. "Thank you, thank you. β
In the darkness of the forest, where it was not clear that it was daylight, the elves enthusiastically led the two of them through the forest, and invited them to eat the sweet fruits of the forest and their peculiar flowers, until dusk they drove their blue long-bearded horses, the three-line beasts, to the great hall in the middle of the forest.
The auditorium is a large circular open space with white stone slabs on the outside and blue stone slabs on the inside, and this area is a sacred place for the elves who live here. In the center of the clearing is a tall blue skywood, surrounded by flowers, and the branches of the ancient trees around the clearing stretch in all directions, they are intertwined and the sky is difficult to leak, making this clearing a natural green temple.
It was dark when Tythia and Lotosas arrived.
At this time, the temple was surrounded on all sides by a hundred people, including the blue-eyed men of the heavenly kingdom, the white elves dressed white like Ztabet with pricked ears, the short elves with round eyes like Moruz, the black elves with dragonfly wings on their backs like Telenade, and the heavenly messengers who floated on the shoulders of people with butterfly wings and tentacles that moved horizontally. There are white butterfly spirits, night spirits that wander in the sky like white dragons, forest spirits that flutter like fireflies, earth house spirits that float like chestnuts, dandelion spirits that float on leaves, and many animal spirits whose names are unknown...... They were all around, some of them played sonata instruments, each happy and happy, and the scene was very lively.
By the time Tythia and Lotosas arrived, their daily night party had already begun.
There was a melodious piano music in the hall, and there was silence outside. The two of them had come through the green door of the temple through the tiny gaps in the trees, and had led them through the crowd under the human woman's lead.
At this time, you can see that an elf woman with long hair and a short green dress is singing under the blue sky, her ears are surrounded by white butterfly elves, wings flash, adding intoxicating brilliance to this woman, behind her is a white elf and a little elf, they are intoxicated playing the violin, the violin sound is melodious and graceful, only to hear the woman slowly open her mouth, singing in an ethereal elf language:
"The elves surround under the moonlit night,
Trickling mountain springs,
There is a lazy big cat sleeping in the mountain house,
The mountain wind rings the wind chimes in front of the door,
The blue in front of the window,
It's a mountain full of flowers,
Bursts of flowers,
Through the cracks in the wooden windows into the house,
In the house,
Beautiful and intoxicating you,
I hold the quilt tightly,
Sleeping soundly on the warm wooden floor,
Around the house,
There are antique flower baskets that you carefully arrange neatly,
Its demeanor,
It's like a magic hat that is turned upside down to attract aromas.
The big cat was snoring heavily,
You smile sweetly,
The dream is bright.
unconsciously
You see yourself rising from the floorβ
Stand up from the floor,
Pushing open the doors and windows, he hurried to the back of the mountain.
The bright moon reflected in the wooden barrel full of water in front of the house,
You smile sweetlyβ
The dream is still loud,
Hurry, hurry,
Through the silent jungle,
Jumping up the hill,
The orchids on the hill float,
The stars are smiling at you,
In front of me is an endless sea,
The mountain wind blows your long flowing hair,
It's like-
Daughter of the Sea,
Daughter of the Sea -
A dream-like illusion,
Bright stars fall,
On your smiling face,
You smile lively,
Like a brilliant glow,
A little white dragon-like elf,
Dancing because of you,
Before your eyes,
They surround you,
The end of the eyes,
It's the other side of the sea.
Over there
There should be a beloved whom you miss day and night.
Incognito.
Your eyes are as bright as water,
Lying on the floor and smiling sweetly,
Dreams are forever loud ......"
As soon as the song ended, the hall burst into joy, and the woman's voice was ethereal and quiet, and Tythia and Lotosas looked at each other and smiled in praise.
The elves danced in the air of the temple, and the dandelion elves that had been sleeping on the leaves all day were also moved to wake up by her singing, and their small blue eyes stared straight at her.
The woman bowed deeply to everyone around her, smiled, and retreated into the crowd.
At this time, the human woman brought Tithia to the center of the temple and introduced to everyone, "This is a new human friend here, she is going to perform in the Thousand Gates of Music, the musical holy land of Adona, let this beautiful human friend present a song for us!"
After that, applause rose again from all sides.
Titia, who had never performed in front of so many people, could not help but look shy and uncomfortable, and she looked around and met Lotosas standing in front of the crowd.
Lothasas' harp and package were placed on the three-element beast outside the temple, and he ran out of the crowd, and when he returned with the harp, the people offered to make way for him, and he strode forward, and handed the harp to Tythia, and his eyes were undoubtedly fixed on her bright eyes, and when Lothasas retreated, Tythia was a hundred times more confident.
At this moment, the shining forest elves gathered from all over the place, and they surrounded Tithia, and groups of green light fluttered around her in all directions, and Tithia's eyes followed the beautiful dance of the elves, and stretched out their hands to try to reach them, and at that moment, they scattered to the sky, the earth, and all directions, leaving Tithia with a shiny green dress, which Tithia wore and the beautiful white butterfly elves circled around her.
Titia's gaze moved slowly, she looked around her, picked up the harp, and plucked out of the strings as the melodious music swayed, and the quiet and delicate singing descended:
A hundred steps from hometown to the lighthouse,
Running in sandals with the breeze,
Forget everything on the road for a while,
Rushing into the blue sky, the blue sea, and the endless sky.
When a man is lonely, he leans under the tower,
A distant lighthouse dwells in the heart.
Looking away from under the lighthouse,
The angry sea carries a strong wind.
Brave people chasing dreams in the sea,
Run on the crest of the wave and move forward in the wind.
I want to go to sea with them,
Experience the glory of life and death of that heroic legend.
The setting sun is sprinkled and beckons to the returning ship,
The evening breeze blows and listens to the sound of the tide.
Orchid a little breeze into a dream,
The moon of the silver dragon is free and eternal.
But there are many life and death fetters in life,
The fire is as hot as the deep sea.
The sea and the starry sky bury you and me,
Reality dreams of the sky of the earth.
When a man is lonely, he leans under the tower,
A distant lighthouse dwells in the heart.
A distant lighthouse shows the way,
After the storm, there will be a rainbow.
A distant lighthouse shows the way,
Take me to the sea and the sky,
A distant lighthouse shows the way,
The long journey does not forget the original intention......"
After the song, the cheers were startled.
At this moment, all the sleeping dandelion elves awoke, and they trembled and sank down from the trees, and danced up and down before Tithia's eyes, their eyes rolling like droplets, and Tithia stretched out her arms to reach them, and the crowd rushed forward and danced.
At this moment, the footsteps of the White Army soldiers were suddenly heard on the central avenue not far from here, and a little elf ran from the gap in the trees, and he passed through the crowd, panting and screaming: "Oh no, no, a group of human soldiers with spears are here, and their leader, a man named Xie Whit, said......"
"What do you say?" the crowd asked.
"He said that the emperor ordered that Celas was going to build palaces, temples, statues of the Virgin and others, and that they did not have enough wood there, and that they were going to cut down trees for us. ββ
"Then will not our homes all be destroyed by them? The elves were furious, "We won't allow them to do that." β
"But they have the land, and we can only let them do it. "They are now on the avenue, and each of them is carrying a huge axe, ready to do it at once." β
"Don't panic!" At this moment, a wrinkled elf elder with a brown cane stood up from the crowd, called the white butterfly elf to his eyes, and said solemnly, "This matter is very important, white butterfly elf, you are very fast, take advantage of your position as a messenger of the kingdom of heaven, and immediately wear through the poor pass of the heavenly fortress, go to Mount Pagavaro, and inform my king of this." β
"Yes! After the white butterfly elf finished speaking, he shifted and turned into a wave of light, flashing out of the green hall.
"Gather all the elves and humans living in this forest, and let's go out and have a look at it immediately," the elf who was the elder of the White Butterfly said solemnly after the White Butterfly Elf left, "Until our king is ready for this, we will stop those human soldiers from destroying our forest." β
"Yes!" the crowd hurried out of the hall.
"I'm so embarrassed. The human woman looked at the restless Tythia and said, "You sing so well that we should have given you some gifts, but now something very serious seems to have happened." β
"It's fine. Tithia frowned and said, "Is it the White Army that wants to destroy your forest? This is your home, what will you do in the future?"
"It's going to be fine, kid. The woman said softly, "Although this forest is the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Heavenly Emperor has sworn to the Elven King that he will allow the elves to live here forever, and they will never dare to destroy the forest wantonly." β
"That's right. The woman smiled, "I'm afraid we'll be in a tense state here for the next few days, we don't have time to entertain you, and you will be in danger here, aren't you going to the City of a Thousand Gates of Music? We'll send you out of this forest right away." β
"Thank you, and may your home be beautiful forever. Titia bowed deeply, and she handed the harp to Lotusas, took off her beautiful green dress, folded it, and handed it to the woman.
"This is a gift from the elves of the forest, you can take it, they like you very much. The woman laughed.
Between the words, the forest elves hidden in the trees floated towards Tythia, who looked at them, "Thank you, but I'm leaving, and I hope I'll see you again when I return." With that, he waved his hand reluctantly, and walked out of the hall with the woman through the narrow tree-gap path through the green door.
The teal triados awaited them outside, and Tythia packed her clothes into her parcel and rode the teal behemoth with Lotosus towards the edge of the forest.
"I will always remember you!" Tithia shouted as she waved her hand back, and as the Three-Elements increased their speed, the forest elves and dandelion elves chasing after them gradually retreated, and finally merged into the depths of the forest, Tithia clasped her fists to her lips and prayed silently, "The White Army must not destroy their forests, let them live happily here forever." β
The elven steed, with its long silver beard, was a cyan three-element beast that was extremely fast, and it ran like the wind above the earth, occasionally jumping up the trees and stepping on the branches, and its steps were thick and powerful, and it never seemed to get tired, and in a few hours they had traveled thousands of miles. At the end of the Forest of Theprolos, the footsteps of the Three-Element Beast suddenly appeared in the bright moonlight in front of them.
It was midnight at this time, and the two of them walked out of the elven forest, jumped off the broad back of the three-line beast, wrapped it on its back, carried the harp, and waved goodbye to the silver-bearded horse.
"Ahead is the human realm, and there are rules in the heavenly kingdom that elves cannot reach the human realm at will, so I can only help you get here. Then the three-lined beast spoke.
"Can you speak?" said Tythia in surprise.
"Yes. The three-element beast said in a rough voice, "Elves can speak whether they are humans or beasts, unless they are natural elves, they know human intentions, but they cannot express them." β
"Okay, I'm going back, you can see Lanshui and Cangshan at the boundary on the road more than ten miles to the east, take care, I wish you a smooth journey." After saying that, the beast turned around and left.
"Goodbye......" Titia and Lotosus waved at the galloping Trinity, their voices stretched infinitely in the starry silence of the night.
In front of the Forest of Siprolos is a vast field that stretches for miles. At this time, the two of them were not sleepy in the slightest, and they continued to run forward, and half an hour later, they passed through the entire wilderness.
At the end of the field was a gentle slope of grass hundreds of meters long, and Lotosas took Tythia's hand and walked ahead with difficulty, and by the middle of the gentle slope, Tythia was out of breath.
"You're tired, let's rest for a while. Lotosas turned back to Titia and said.
"Hmm. Tythia nodded tiredly, and she took off her package and sat down on the gentle slope of grass.
Lotosas ran up the gentle slope alone, looked at the brightly lit town in front of him, and shouted to Tythia below, "There is a house ahead, shall we take a few steps there?"
Tythia looked at the starry night sky, "Lotosas, we're here tonight, just spend the night outside, okay? You see, how beautiful the scenery is outside, and how fresh the air is." β
Lotosas walked up to Tythia, put the package and the lyre aside, and sat down on the gentle slope, gazing at the bright night sky with Tythia.
Tithia smiled sweetly and snuggled up on Lotosas's shoulder.
The distant galaxy was magnificent, and the intoxicating starlight slowly fell from the sky into the fluorescent forests of Siprolos, slowly falling into the clear eyes of Tythia and Lotosas, and slowly falling in their hearts, in which they constantly stirred and reverberate, forming an indelible memory. (To be continued.) )
