Chapter 18: The First City

To the southwest of the Wig Mountains, in the upper reaches of the Enze River, at the junction of the Sunshine Forest and the Moonlight Forest, lies the Primordial City.

As early as when the creator god AZ created the first elves, the world of Xenofer entered the age of elves. These elves, created by AZ himself, are known as the firstborn sons of the gods and are also known as the original elves. Later, in order to facilitate the management of the alien world, AZ created the ten original gods in the year E1 of the Elven Era. In the long time that followed, AZ created many first-level auxiliary gods, and initially the gods and first-level auxiliary gods successively created many second-level auxiliary gods. The gods and elves lived together for a long time, building the First City together. It wasn't until E5000 that the gods left the world with AZ and went to live in heaven.

From E31044 to E31144, the first elven civil war caused a large area of the southwestern part of the kingdom to collapse and sink into the Endless Sea. Between E31227 and E31248, the Second Elven Civil War resulted in the destruction of most of the Sunshine Forest and turned it into a desperate sand. As a result of the two wars, the elven population plummeted. After that, he used magic to hide his home, isolating it from other intelligent races and the Alien Overworld. The world of Xenofer has entered the human epoch.

And the original city is still standing there intact, seeing all the vicissitudes of life. It is like a witness to history, a spectator of the world. It's so gorgeous, so cold.

Kanna watched as the sun shone on the cold city, a dazzling white light.

"It's like something out of this world!" Kanna sighed.

The palace guards lined up outside the city gates to welcome Canna. A group of elven maids led Kanna and the others to the main hall. Denise did not enter the city, saying that she wanted to rest for a while among the flowers outside the city and wait for Kanna to come out.

In the depths of the main hall, a huge white oak tree burst out of the top. To be precise, the roof was not broken, and the palace was originally built around trees, which was integrated into one.

The protruding roots of the oak tree naturally form a bench-like shape, on which sits an elf. Her golden curls were scattered on the ground, and her golden pupils were deep and divine. Dressed in a gorgeous dress in gold and silver, with a jewel-encrusted elven crown on her head.

On either side of her stood a number of elven maids, and behind her stood an elven female warrior. The warrior was about 2.00 meters tall and had white-blonde hair combed into a long braid and placed on his chest. He was dressed in silver elf light plate armor, and wore a long sword and two short swords on the left and right sides of his belt. Five daggers were inserted into the sheaths of the cortical leg straps on the outer sides of the thighs. Behind him was a two-handed greatsword. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face expressionless, her eyes closed.

The elf, who was sitting upright in the chair, saw Kanna come in, smiled and stood up, about 2.20 meters tall. The whole body exudes an infinitely exciting and unreserved and colorful from the inside out.

Julia had never felt such solemn coercion, and fell to her knees with a thud. Edward and Garcia also nervously brought their hands to their chests and bowed deeply.

Kanna bowed slightly, smiled and said in Elven language, "See Her Majesty Erica, the Empress of the Elven Realm, the Pope of the Beauty God, and the eldest son of the God." ”

Erica bowed her head and saluted Kanna in return, then nodded to Edward and the others.

"No need to be polite, please be seated. Kanna, come. Erica held out her hand to Canna. After that, he led Kanna, who had walked up the steps, and sat down on the oak bench together, and said softly, "Please forgive me for not being able to meet her." ”

"You don't have to be so polite, I'm not at ease." Kanna rarely showed a hint of shyness.

"Okay." Erica kept looking at Kanna, "I've often heard Mijin-sama mention you, but when I saw you today, it was really extraordinary. I couldn't be happier. ”

Kanna looked down a little embarrassed.

Erica continued: "I have prepared some small gifts for you, and I hope to give them up. ”

Erica motioned to the maids next to her, got up and walked towards Her Highness, followed by the maids with their gifts.

Erica walked up to Edward, took out a gift, and explained, "This is a Kite Shield, forged by the Elven Shield Master Mosidil, and enchanted by the famous Archmage Fenaway. Very lightweight and suitable for travel around. I hope you can use this shield to protect Canna. ”

Edward stood up, took the shield in both hands, solemnly saluted the Empress, and pledged to protect Kanna to the death.

Erica then walked up to Garcia, took out a gift, and explained, "This is the original Bible of the Beauty God. When the gods and spirits lived together, they recorded the sacred words of Mijin-sama. The "Beauty God Bible" in the world is a copy of this book. May you not forget your original intention. Mijin-sama and I will always keep an eye on you. After saying that, he smiled mysteriously at Garcia.

Garcia took the Bible with trembling hands, hugged it tightly to his chest and read the prayer excitedly, forgetting for a moment to thank the Empress.

Erica then walked up to Julia, took out a gift, and explained, "This is an Elven Expedition Dimensional Bag that can hold a lot of items without adding weight. Compared to other dimensional bags, it is not particularly spacious, but it has a special effect. The food you put in it will stay fresh forever and will not spoil. Of course, if you use it to hold the seeds of various crops, it will not be bad for 10,000 years. ”

Most people in the world of Xenofer carry magic bags when they go out on missions or expeditions. The function is to facilitate the storage of a large number of equipment and travel supplies, and a palm-sized magic pocket often has a capacity of more than 4 cubic meters. This type of magic storage item is very difficult to enchant and can be expensive. Depending on the level of craftsmanship and the level of enchantment, the capacity of the Magic Pocket is also different. But basically there is one thing in common, that is, it is impossible to reduce the weight of the contents. But the dimensional bag is different, this is a legendary storage item, the internal space is in another special plane, and the items put in it will not increase the weight of the pocket at all. On top of this, the Elven Expedition Dimensional Bag is forbidden, and time is forbidden in the second dimension, so the items put in will never spoil. In the Elven Age, the elite of the elven army, when they went on expeditions to explore the world, would have one such bag in their hands. With the arrival of the Human Era, after the elves cut off the kingdom, most of these dimensional bags went into warehouses and no one cared about them.

Julia took the dimensional bag, flattered, and didn't know what to do for a while. There was another thud and he fell to his knees.

Erica smiled and helped Julia to her feet, turning to walk towards Kanna. Coming to the bench, he sat down next to Kanna, took out the last gift, and explained: "In the days when gods and elves lived together, Tender, the goddess of nature, a first-class auxiliary god, planted a tree on the west side of the Sunshine Forest with her own hands. The tree grows so fast that Tendel sings in the shade every morning. Soon, the tree grew tall into the sky, each leaf shining like a star. The sun shines through the leafy giant trees, like a little starlight. That's why the forest west of the Giant Tree is called the Starlight Forest. Because from sunrise in the early morning until about 3 p.m., it is bathed in the starlight of the giant tree. After 3 o'clock, the sun reaches the west side of the giant tree, completely illuminating the entire starlight forest.

The creator god A-Z loved the tree and blessed it with immortal life. Thus this sacred tree became known as the Tree of Life. The tree of life is the same all seasons and never changes leaves. In the year E5000, AZ led the gods to leave the world of Alien Wo and go to heaven to live. The reluctant Tree of Life dropped two leaves. A song of gratitude to the goddess of nature, and a song of gratitude to AZ for the immortality. This pendant is inlaid with one of the leaves. With this leaf, you can enter the realm of the elves at any time through the Hidden Forest. Also, if you place this leaf in the palm of your hand, it will always point in the direction of the Tree of Life, and no magic or enchantment will stop this effect. Kanna, you are the daughter of the elves, and this will always be your home. No matter where you go, this leaf of life can help you find your way home. ”

Take the leaf of life and place the pendant around your neck. Kanna smiled sweetly, took Erica's arm, closed her eyes and rested her head on her chest, and said, "Erica and Jessica look like each other." ”

Erica gently stroked Canna's head with her right hand.

Kanna lost her mother when she was very young, and her father was nowhere to be found. Only occasionally when I see Jessica, the goddess of beauty, who comes out of her busy schedule, can I feel the love of motherhood. Although Kanna is a strong child, she has always been independent and optimistic. However, she lacks maternal love, and in such a state, she can't help but be coquettish. Sitting in His Royal Highness, looking at this situation, Julia was already unconsciously moved by the pear blossoms and rain.

"Naw. Erica ......"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Do you know my mother?"

Erica smiled softly, her gaze moved from Kanna to the distance, and said, "Yes." ”
