Chapter 103: Arrival at the City of Aita (First Update)
"I've hosted some humans. Seeing this, the old mayor Witz smiled and said: "But they didn't find the connotation of the elven diet, and they chewed all kinds of fruits and vegetables, Mr. Scholar, many of the fruits that go with it are unique to the Elven Empire, and you can't eat them anywhere else." β
"That's the benefit of travel. Hearing this, Heras said with a smile, you can't put anything with the breath of life in the space equipment, so the fruit can't be put in when it's fresh, and you can only make preserved fruits or dried fruits to be included in the space equipment, so if you want to eat the unique fruit of the Elf Empire, in addition to the high transportation costs, you have to travel to the Elf Country in person.
"In the ancient city of Ascalan, there are more elves of ancient food culture, Mr. Emma, and you can taste it at that time. Ussurriga took his wife's hand and held up a glass of nectar dew to Heras and saluted, although the elven couple had been temporarily banned from all their powers, but fortunately, their bodies had recovered and there was no problem with the long journey.
Amid the light-hearted chit-chatter of the crowd, breakfast soon came to an end, and the priests took their leave, including the sullen Alec, while Ussurriga and his men began to pack their bags.
"We will escort in the air. With that, Bethena led the other two empty horsemen and left.
The standard mount of the elven army is the bipedal magic wildebeest, this herbivorous beast that is more than three meters tall is actually very gentle, with a black luster on the head of the strong horse, and only two extremely thick legs make this beast look like some kind of chocobo
It would be a mistake to ignore the strength of the bipedal wildebeest, which is very agile and jumping, and although it is a herbivorous beast, it shows strength that is intimidating to many predators.
And except for Ussurika and his wife and those officers, the rest of the soldiers are all bloodlines of bipedal wildebeest.
The town of Oron is built on several towering giant trees, and at the base of the giant trees is the corral, in which the army's wildebeest is tethered and fed.
Heras followed the group down the vine-woven ladder to the bottom of the tree, and as soon as they entered the dense and lush canopy of the Eternal Night Forest, the sunlight disappeared and the moonlit silence remained beneath the forest.
The road in the forest of eternal night was hidden, and the grassy forest path was scattered with moonlight, and Heras turned over and jumped on the back seat of a two-legged wildebeest, and the knight of the wildebeest saluted him, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Emma, the wildebeest is very bumpy when jumping in the woods, you sit down." β
Hearing this, Heras glanced at Gleilenya, but couldn't help but smile in his heart: "I've tried all the more bumpy ones"
Then he glanced at the secluded forest path, and the thick trunks on either side of the path seemed to welcome him.
"The hope of promotion is already within reach" Heras sighed in his heart, not only the promotion hope of the magic path, but also the bloodline path
With priests praying everywhere in the Temple of Eternal Night, and moonlight gatherings were common, Heras felt that praying to the moon god there should not be obtrusive, and that if he could settle down in one of the secluded places, the power of the bloodline would increase considerably.
With Ussurika's order, they finally set out on their way to the city of Aita
After weeks of following the troops along the forest path, Heras saw the light of day again, and when the eternal moonlight was beautiful, he knew that the city of Aita was almost there, and when the first rays of sunlight shone through the canopy in front of him, Heras knew that the city of Aita was almost there
Sure enough, after turning the last woods, the vision suddenly opened up! The dark green city facilities of Aita City stood in an open forest wilderness, and the buildings were distinctly elven-style, with the faΓ§ade depicted with delicate patterns of hollowed out, the pillars of the buildings were thick trunks covered with green leaves, the blue-purple tiles made of bark covered with dark green building stones, and the hanging bridges woven of rattan were stacked above the streets! The height of the city's buildings is much higher than that of the trees in the Eternal Night Forest, so the contrast between the entire city of Aita bathed in sunlight and the moonlight lingering beneath the forest around the city is a unique spectacle!
Beneath the fence-like walls of giant trees, two huge ancient war trees guarded the city gates, and they soon spotted the troops led by Ussurica, one of the ancient war trees with yellowed leaves waved its hand in the creaking of its branches, and the branches of its chin swayed like a whisker a few times before saying in a deep tone that seemed to echo in a wooden tube: "Ussurika, I am glad that you can recover." β
The Empire's capture team went to capture the Deep Rock Ant Queen to breed the Deep Rock Ants to help the Ancient Trees clean their bodies, so of course these War Ancient Trees are very grateful.
"Shalu, are you still itchy?" Ussurika greeted with concern, looking up at the twenty-meter-tall ancient war tree.
"A little, but I can bear it, if it weren't for the deep rock ants that kept cleaning me, I'd be hollowed out by now!" said Sharu, the Ancient Tree of War, muffled as he shook off the fallen dry leaves, and then moved to the side with a rumbling step, making way for a way.
Heras observed the two moving giant trees, both of them were as high as level eight, but in terms of movement speed, they were not as fast as the low-level bloodline knights, and even the speed and agility of the legendary war ancient trees were not at the level of the high-level bloodline knights.
But compared to this, their strength, defense, and vitality far surpassed those of the same level of bloodline knights, and those ancient war trees with instinctive spells were even more powerful.
And the dead war ancient tree will dedicate its own tree heart to the elves, which is actually a kind of bloodline inheritance, so that the elves who have obtained the tree heart have the blood of the ancient war tree.
Another ancient war tree, whose leaves are still verdant, has obviously not been affected by the pest, but it is also very respectful to the capture team, after all, it may be eaten by insects one day, and it will undoubtedly depend on the fruits of the labor of the capture team
After the two ancient war trees made way for them, Heras and his party quickly passed through the fence-like walls of giant trees, which were covered with thick, sharp thorns and had the ability to regenerate, and the druids were truly unique in harnessing the power of nature.
As soon as they entered the city gates, Herras found a group of men greeting them, including the captain of the border guard, Durin, who saluted Ussurriga before handing him something when he saw the troops entering the city.
"Mr. Emma, the Magic Council has completed the identification and confirmed that this knight medal is not a forgery. Durin said to Heras: "And your entry formalities are all in order." β
Heras flipped through the documents written in Elven language and looked at the general meaning, which stated that he had been legally resident in the Elven Empire for one year.
"More than enough in a year," he said, measuring the time, and then put away the papers.
They were not prepared to stay in the city of Aita, and as soon as they entered the city, Ussurriga began to arrange for the teleportation to the ancient city of Askalan, for which Heras was only a passerby.
Taking advantage of this time, Heras and Glelenya talked about their plans for going to Ascalan.
"Why do you want to live in the Great Temple of the Eternal Night?" asked Gleilenya, suppressing the tension in her heart, the King of the Eternal Night is above! Her lover can't help but want to secretly tryst with herself, thinking of this, the priestess couldn't help but bite her lower lip and said, "The Great Temple is heavily guarded. β
Sensing Gleilenya's concerns, Heras couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly restrained his smile and said in a helpless but solemn tone, "I just want to live in the Great Temple of Eternal Night. β
The priestess frowned and looked at her lover in front of her for a while, it seemed that he didn't mean that, but listening to Heras's tone, she still didn't want to know his purpose, but she didn't want to make up excuses to deceive herself.
"What do you have to hide?" Gleranya hinted with a look in her eyes, but she immediately stopped caring about it, and it was easy to make up a seamless excuse to hide it from Heras's acting skills, but since he bluntly said that he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't delve into it.
"I will propose it to Lord Ellersteen. Seeing that Heras had been silent, Gleirenya had no choice but to reply lightly.
Heras nodded, moved once again filled his heart, Gleirenya didn't even want to investigate what he was doing in the Great Temple, this trust had been fully revealed, not that he didn't want to say it, but if he said that he had deceived the moon god, it would be to force Glelenya into a corner, so that she had to choose one between faith and love, and with the piety of his lover, it was a matter of minutes to turn against himself. At least Heras didn't have the confidence to compete with the gods for the hearts and minds of the gods right now
"A little more remote location. Thinking of this, Heras added with some weakness.
"Okay" Glelenya gave him a suspicious look, but didn't say anything more.
"This time, after I returned to the Great Temple of Eternal Night in Ascalan, I wanted to try to obtain the god-given soul of the King of Eternal Night, and if I succeeded, I would go to the temple of the capital City of the Eternal Night King to do penance. Gleilenya then said in a casual tone.
"You will succeed, including penance. Heras stared at his lover's Eye of the Moon for a moment and said earnestly.
"Don't get too far from me, Heras. Glelenya joked like a casual conversation between friends, but there was an intimate love in her eyes, and after retracting her eyes for a moment, she then encouraged Heras: "Actually, it's okay, just do your best." β
Heras couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth when he heard this, to be honest, he also felt that it didn't matter if one day Glelenya was really stronger than himself, he didn't mind being crushed by his lover. (To be continued.) )
