Chapter 2: Open the Arena!
After the halo spread, in a very short period of time, the elves of the Elven Forest began to appear in groups of three or five in Orenjief's sight, and Oranjiefu did not have any surprise in all this.
In his hundred years of life, he experienced this kind of thing almost three times, once for an elf who was plundered by the Everlyn, the high priest invited all the people to consult, and the result was to send a team of thirty elves to rescue him, and that time the thirty-year-old Oranjeffer did not have the opportunity to participate.
The second time, when Anna was born, the High Priest also summoned the people to discuss Anna's magical path, and that year Orenjeffer was fifty-six years old.
The third time, the escape plan that he had prepared for several years failed, the clan reunited, and he was ordered to come to the sacrificial hall once every ten days, and he was sixty-one years old that year!
And now, it's the fourth time I've experienced such a battle, so I really can't talk about surprise, all I have is looking forward to whether I can leave the Elven Forest.
"High Priestess, you summoned me?"
Around the sacrificial hall, in a very short time, thousands of people gathered, and many more came this way.
But when these people came here and saw Oranghefer standing respectfully in front of the High Priest, finally an elf asked questions.
It is a well-known fact that Orenjeffer is an outlier of the elves, but there is no denying the unparalleled talent of this other.
Magic is a way, fifteen-year-old is invincible at the same age, and at twenty-five years old, he can fight an adult elf with ordinary qualifications.
After giving up magic to study archery at the age of thirty, ten years later, no one was invincible until he gave up archery.
Because of this, when he wanted to escape from the Elven Forest, the High Priest would summon his people to discuss with him, and he would give him the greatest restrictions.
And now, when he appeared in the eyes of everyone in the posture of being caught running away that time, it was natural for the other elves to think that he Oranjeffer had to hold a meeting again because he wanted to leave and was caught.
It's just that this speculation is only half right.
After scanning the crowd and seeing that almost all the adult elves had arrived, the high priest finally spoke,
"Defei invited our elves to participate in exchanges and further studies, and the number of people invited was ten, five people were skilled in archery, five people were in magic, and the matter of public discussion was for whomever to participate. ”
As soon as the High Priest's words fell, the sacrificial hall suddenly fell silent, and some of the people who followed Orangheffer immediately understood why he had been there for a long time.
Defena was one of the vassal cities of the Avelyn Empire, but it was separated from Ephrin's existence.
To be specific, it is Defei's strength to a certain extent that is no longer an existence that the Everlin Empire can control, so it naturally makes the powerful existence on the continent regard Defeina as a holy place in his heart.
There, whether it is ordinary humans or subjects of the Everlin Empire, whether it is elves or beasts, they can become separate individuals, which means that they will not be despised and hated by anyone.
Even some beings who pursue the magic of the underworld will be transformed into a master of magic that everyone admires.
This is the courage of Defena, and it is also its charm.
"High Priestess, I don't approve of our elves going to participate in this exchange and further study!"
After the silence was full, it became noisy, but the high priest did not have the slightest impatience, and still looked at everyone quietly, until a spirit not far from the high priest took the lead to speak.
"Jason, tell me your reasoning!"
He nodded slightly to the person who spoke, and then spoke, and it was precisely because of these words that the entire sacrificial hall fell into silence again.
After organizing the thoughts in his mind, Jason, who was named by the high priest, slowly said his thoughts cautiously, "Defei is known as the 'City of the Continent' but in fact it is also the 'Sin City', and the elves actually have no sense of protection at all when they go there, if they are not careful, I believe it is likely that they will not be able to return to the Elven Forest." ”
Glancing at the high priest who was listening to his words intently, Jason seemed to be encouraged, and continued his words, "The only time in the past hundred years that an elf has been arrested, the ultimate root cause is in Defei, I believe everyone is very aware of such a thing, so in order to avoid unnecessary losses, I still feel that I will not participate in Defeina's invitation." ”
"I agree with Jason too!"
As soon as Jason's words fell, a voice of echo sounded in a corner, and when everyone focused their eyes on him, the latter directly stated his own reason, "We elves, on the continent, no one can surpass magic and archery, this is a recognized fact, so why do you want to participate in the training?
"High Priestess, we have the pride of belonging to our elven clan, so think twice!"
"Olanjeffer, child of nature, what do you say?"
After everyone's words, the high priest's face was still calm, and people could not see joy and sorrow, but he suddenly spoke up, asking Oranjiefu, who had always maintained a respectful attitude.
And at this moment, everyone noticed the existence of Oranjieffer again from the matter of Defei, but then remembered the fact that this "genius" did not want to leave the Elven Forest all the time, and also sighed in their hearts.
Sigh this son's talent, sigh this son's inaction, sigh this son's unruliness!
"I'm willing to go to Defeina!"
The head was raised, and then a word fell to the ground, splashing crisp and numerous, and everyone was in an uproar.
When the High Priest asked Orange Jeffrey, many of the elves already knew the answer he would give, but they didn't expect that he would answer so firmly.
But in fact, it's no wonder that he was bent on leaving the Elven Forest, even if he did such a thing as escaping without permission, how could he let go of it under such an opportunity.
"I'd like to go to Dephina, too!"
In the crowd, when everyone was still shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, another voice sounded, and then surprised everyone.
"I do!"
"I do!"
"I do!"
An elf opened its mouth as if a fire had ignited the dead wood, making the fire flourish and illuminate the silence and darkness.
"Our elves are essentially the masters of the continent, but there are still people who dare to kidnap our people, and the glory of the elves cannot be desecrated, so let our glory shine on the entire continent again. ”
"The Elven Forest is a paradise for our elves, but it also makes it impossible for us to see the continent. I want to use my arrows to make the mainland understand that elves will always be the coquettish ones that cannot be despised against!"
........................
All of a sudden, the sacrificial hall was full of noise and noise!
"Glory is given by the moon god, brilliance is the light of the moon, and the elves are the souls of nature!" the crutches touched the ground, and the sacrificial hall suddenly fell into absolute silence after a sudden burst of shouts, for their high priest, in this moment, sang the three songs of the elves.
"Glory is given by the moon god, brilliance is the light of the moon, and the spirit is the soul of nature!"
These three lines of poetry, legend has it that the elves have grown up with them since they were born, and now it has been an unknown number of years.
It is also said that only those who understand these three verses of poetry can become high priests and become the ones who lead the direction of the elves.
So, even though the vast majority of the elves present could not understand the meaning of these three verses, it could not prevent them from respecting it.
Respect comes from the heart and from the soul.
At that moment, all the elves protected their hearts with their right hands, their heads bowed, and waited silently for the high priest's next words.
And not long after, the old man's words came out again.
"Ten elves who are not adults after the age of 100 should be invited by De Feina, and three adult elves will lead the team for a period of one year, and after one year, no matter what, all of them will return to the Elven Forest!"
"Respectfully!" the high priest said, all the elves at this moment no one will refute, after so many public discussions, their high priest has never chanted the song of the elves, basically made a decision based on the will of most people, but this time the elves felt a kind of anger of the high priest, angry with the soul rather than angry with the word, so they can only receive the order, and must also receive the order.
"Those who are outstanding should be the ones who study this time!" The crutches were dripped again, and the six-star rays with a radius of one meter suddenly appeared as the center of the intersection of the crutches touching the ground, and they rotated leisurely, "Open the arena, those who have aspirations enter!"
As soon as the words fell, the elves standing in the direction of the high priest quickly left, and it was after they had withdrawn a certain distance that the six-star array of people spinning under the old man's cane splashed out a soft light, and the light spread rapidly, and after wrapping the Oranjiefu who had not moved in the slightest, it spread for another twenty meters before stopping.
As long as there is life, there will be grievances, which is not surprising among the elves who worship nature, so in order to solve these grievances, and also to temper magic and archery, the elves have always had an arena.
The arena was opened and protected by the High Priest and would not cause any elves to lose their lives or be seriously injured.
What the High Priest said and did now was obvious, it was to use the arena to solve the problem of selecting people, so at this moment, Orangel would have such a motionless expression, and the other elves were not surprised at all, but only a kind of helplessness that did not know whether to be happy for him or because the elven forest could not make him peaceful.
But in any case, since the high priest had such an order, and even sang the song of the elves, the development of the matter was not something that any elf could stop or even intervene in.
At this moment, Olanjiefer, who was being watched by the elves, finally stopped what he had been keeping, and saluted the high priest who was in the center of the six stars, that is, the center of the arena, and Olanjiefu walked to the vicinity of the high priest, and then shook his left hand.
"If you want to go to the elves of Defena, enter the arena!"
Seeing that Olanjeffer had such a move, the high priest not only did not intervene, but even suddenly gave an order after he was obviously prepared.
And at this moment, hundreds of people suddenly poured out from the surroundings, and countless arrows rushed towards Oranjiefu directly outside the arena.
Eighty-five years ago, the Arena of the Elven Forest changed the rules, and the battle of the same rank allowed Orenjeffer to win.
