So what should we do?, Ronon didn't know how to answer Empress Lyreira's question, "I don't know how to do it!"

"I don't know what a way to do it!" said Empress Lyreira, shaking her head, "You can reply to these three words at any time, but doing so at this moment will only make me think that you are insincere." ”

"Because now you don't have to do anything. Your Majesty, you only need to train the troops, stock up on food, prepare equipment, and I will inform Mr. Mopra when the time comes. Renon looked at Mopra and said, "You're going to stay with that ancient tree of life, right?"

"Yes. Take care of the ancient tree until I run out of energy. ”

"What are you planning to do?" asked the Elven Empress, puzzled.

"I'm just trying to fulfill Grandpa Konstantin's unfulfilled wish. And the elves of the Black Forest must be eager to return to their homeland, right?"

At the mention of the Black Forest, Fiona's eyes moistened, and the golden nest and silver nest were not as good as her own kennel. Although the food, clothing, shelter and transportation provided by Birchney are good, they still lack a sense of home. The Black Forest, the land where she was born and raised, where the water is the clearest and tastier, where the air is clearest, where the fruit is the sweetest and tastier, where she finally ends.

Empress Lyrela shook her head helplessly at Fiona's sparkling eyes, sighed and said, "It's really a fire at the city gate that affected the fish in the pond, why do you humans have to sprinkle bloody rain all over the continent?"

"Actually, I don't want to! Who doesn't want to live a peaceful and stable life? It's just that there are always some high-ranking people who have infinite desires, eager to gain more fame and fortune. There are always those who live at the bottom of society who are eager to get the opportunity to change their fate, so they will do whatever it takes to choose war!"

"Okay! But let me first state that Birchney sent troops only to protect our homeland, to protect our brothers and sisters! not to invade, not to do senseless killings!"

"No problem!" Rinon was relieved to hear a good word from Her Majesty Queen Lyreira, and suddenly he remembered something important, the Soul Stone.

"Your Majesty, there is a matter I would like to ask you below. ”

"What?"

"The elven world, the empress's scepter, above fate, the ageless face. What can you think of from this statement?"

"Huh?" asked Empress Lyrela, frowning, "what is this?"

"Don't you know the way?" said Renon in frustration, "Even the Elven Empress doesn't know the way, is it because I'm too superficial?"

Empress Lyreira thought for a moment and asked Fowler, "Mr. Fowler, you are the oldest and most knowledgeable person here, I wonder if you can think of something?"

The eldest, Rainon and Erica, both stared at Fowler standing by the door in amazement and thought, "What a man is not to be seen, he is only forty or fifty years old to us humans."

Fowler slowly stepped forward to the center of the hall, saluted the empress, and said, "The following is just a random guess by his subordinates. This phrase seems to imply a certain place and something. There are three key words: the world, the scepter, and destiny. ”

"What's that? "Say it!" Rynon urged anxiously.

"Are you in a hurry?" Erica glanced at the interrupted Renon, "I'm more anxious than you!

"This ......"

"It's a private matter for the Stamokos. It's best for outsiders not to ask. Suddenly, Fiona interjected.

"Uh, outsiders, you seem to know my brother very well, and the relationship is not ordinary. ”

"That's it, that's it, don't pretend to be so kind!" said Silver, who was also on the sidelines, and her delicate body leaned back against Renon again, a deep hostility on her face.

"Alright, alright, settle down, this is not the place to quarrel. Renon looked embarrassed.

Empress Lyreira didn't care, she laughed and said, "There is a saying called three women in one play!

"Let's go ahead and hear what Mr. Fowler has to say!" said Rainon, gesturing quietly.

Fowler coughed, cleared his throat and said, "It's hard to understand the sentence, but when you look at it backwards, it can conjure up something, like this one: 'Above fate.'" Your Majesty the Empress, you should know that that may refer to ......"

"Destiny...... Doom, Doom Hills?" Empress Lyrela said after a moment's thought.

"Fate thought of bad luck?" Rinon couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "Can you really explain it like this?" (Doom Hills: Doom Hills are located in the southeast of Birchni, with a humid and hot climate, abundant rainfall, gentle hills, lush vegetation, and karst caves; among them, there are many dissolution fissurable caves, and many underground rivers and lakes. The Hills of Doom are not its original name, as early as prehistoric times, when the Dwarves fought against the elven race, the Dwarven King led an army into the Birchney Helmer Hills (now the Doom Hills). Ron Iluvita Artest, the elven hero of the time, led a thousand elven warriors to take advantage of the complex terrain of the Hermer Hills to fight the army of the dwarven king. One day, the Dwarven King sent several magic crystal cannons to bombard Ron's camp, and in order to cover the evacuation of his comrades, Ron shot an arrow to kill a dwarf soldier who was operating the magic crystal cannon. The fighting spirit of the arrows hit the surrounding soldiers staggering, the ammunition box tumbled and flew, and the moment the sapper who was shot fell by mistake, the corner of his armor hooked the operating lever of the magic crystal cannon, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the hero of the elven clan Ron, and then an ammunition magazine fell from the sky and pressed the launch button. The hero of the elven race, the mighty Ron Artest, ended his heroic life like an absurd. Since then, the Hermo Hills have been renamed the Hills of Doom. ）

(Ron Iluvita Artest: Unknown year of life and death, Birchni Elf, male, race Nordo, known as the hero of the Elven race, once led a thousand elven archers in the Elven Dwarf Race War against the tens of thousands of troops of the Dwarven King in the Doom Hills for several months, and finally died under the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon.) Legend has it that his death was an absurd tragedy, as he shot and killed a sapper who was operating the crystal cannon, but when the sapper fell, he hit the lever and the crystal cannon fired, and Ron fell. ）

“...... In this way, he ended his heroic life dramatically. We then renamed the Hermer Hills in honor of the unfortunate Ron Artest. Fowler explained the origin of Doom Hills and the elven hero Ron Artest, and after saying that, he let out a long sigh.

"I can't think of anything like this. Erica shook her head again and again, "It's a pity. ”

"Then fate will be followed by the Empress's Scepter. Renon said with a frown.

"I don't have any ceremonial instruments like a scepter, and besides, the scepter was made by you humans to symbolize the status of imperial power, and we elves don't have it. Empress Lyreira frowned.

"What? The Elven Empress doesn't have a scepter? Did we get it wrong from the beginning?" said Ronon with a look of loss.

"No, the subordinates think that the empress is not referring to the empress of the elven race, but another elf related to the hills of doom!" Fowler shook his head and said, "Of course, this is just my personal speculation, and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong. But one thing is for sure, there is an 'Empress' who has something to do with it, and that is Michel Iluvita!"

Hearing the name Michelle, Renon seemed to remember something, "Michelle......? She's not that ...... The life mage who participated in the forging of the Holy Dragon Bracelet?"

"Yes. After the death of Ron Artest, the then young Michelle took over the battlefield and became famous for defeating the Dwarven King in the Doom Hills!

"Empress of Doom, so the Empress's scepter means her staff?"

Fowler nodded and said, "Yes, because Master Michelle's staff is different from most mages, the knee-high staff body is all golden, and the top is inlaid with a purple crystal ball, which shines in the sunlight, like a luxurious symbol of power in the hands of the sect leader and king in human society." That's why the dwarves called it the scepter. ”

"So that's the case, and then it became the Empress's scepter in the mouths of us humans?" Rainon nodded in earnest, "So where is Master Iluvita now, and how can we meet her?" As soon as Rainon's words fell, all the elves present turned dead gray.

"You guys are ......," Ruinon was stunned.

"Master Iluvita, she died more than three hundred years ago. Fowler said softly.

"Sorry!" Ruinong apologized, but thought in his heart: "What a monster from prehistoric times to the present!"

"But her staff is still in Doom Hills, buried with Ron. ”

"Michell's staff is buried with Ron?" Rainon and Erica asked, puzzled, "Could it be their ......"

"Because that staff was Ron's birthday present to Michelle!" Mopra spoke, and as a prehistoric elf, he knew the past.

"So, if you go to Doom Hills and find Ron's tomb, you'll be able to get the Empress's Scepter!" Rynon clenched his hands into fists with excitement.

"And what about after finding the Empress's Scepter?" asked Empress Lyrela, grimacing.

And then ...... And then......" Rynon scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't think I can do it without unraveling all the sentences! ”

"Rainon Starmoko, I will not intervene in your private affairs, as long as you abide by the laws of Birchni, respect the traditional customs of the elves, and do not disturb the normal life of my people, I will allow you to move freely in Birchni and do your people's private affairs, and I will not interfere. "The god of the Elven Race is the goddess of life, Illuvita, and she is not interested in the main god and demon theory preached by the Holy Cult of Light, so naturally she will not reject the Starmoko family.

"Your Majesty!" Rui Nong was full of joy.

Empress Lyreira then turned to Fowler and said, "Doom Hills have treacherous terrain, a large number of ferocious beasts, and green dragons. Mr. Fowler, select ten warriors to pass with our distinguished guests, and be sure to protect their lives. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Rainon Stamoko, Michelle and Ron are the heroes of our race, and their graveyards and relics are testimonies to the history and honor of our elves!" said Empress Lyrela, giving Rainon a meaningful look.

"I just look for clues somewhere, and I will never do anything rude. After saying that, Ruinon smiled bitterly and thought: Haven't we been completely trusted?

"Hmph! The old grudge of more than 2,000 years cannot be eliminated by saying that it can be eliminated. Nightmare snorted.

"But then again, how far is the Doom Hills from here?" asked Erica.

"It's about three days to walk after the teleportation array, right?" Mopra touched his chin and said, "But with your ability, you can get there in a day and a half." ”

"Are you coming along?" said Rinon to Mopra and Fiona.

"I'm sorry! I still want to stay next to the ancient tree of life and take care of it. Mopra shook her head, "But Fiona will go with you." ”

"...... Fion," Renon glanced at Fiona but couldn't pronounce her name, "would you still like to join me?"

"Yes, I'll follow you wherever you go......"

"Xie Lu, thank you......" Ruinon said dumbfoundedly.

"It seems that you two still have a lot to say, but this is not the right place!" said Empress Lyreira cheerfully, "In that case, why don't you take a day off first?" Mr. Fowler, take the human warriors down for a while, arrange food and lodging, and don't be lazy!"

"Yes!"

The elves' hospitality was undoubtedly warm and attentive. Sweet fruits and fragrant flower tea healed the wounds after the war, washed away the fatigue of eating and sleeping in the open, but could not heal the wounds of the soul.

Rainon and his party were placed on the upper floor of the Ancient Tree of Life, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest, but Silver pestered Rainon to share a room with him, and Rainon was forcibly separated by Erica after repeated pushbacks.

"Whew! I'm finally saved. Renon sighed. (Reader M: Actually, he mentally greeted Erica's whole family.) Soy Sauce Party: Isn't Erica's family still with Rinon himself?Reader M: ......... ）

As night fell, Ruinon came to the windowsill with a cup of hot tea and looked up at the starry sky. Smelling the clear aroma wafting from the cup, looking at the stars in the sky, taking a sip gently, making the sweet and bitter tea and the fragrance of tea flow back and forth in the mouth, accompanied by the rustle of the night wind blowing through the woods, the chirping of the nightingale, this is really a great joy in life!

"What's the matter? You're like an old man at a young age? This isn't the mentality of a normal fourteen-year-old!" the nightmare voice sounded in Renon's head.

"This is Grandpa Konstantin's favorite tea. Saying that, Rui Nong raised his teacup, "Every night, when he likes to make a cup of light green tea after reading the book, he comes to the window, and ......tastes it carefully while looking up at the starry sky," said Rui Nong, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

"It doesn't look like a normal fourteen-year-old, either. ”

"Looks like you're right. ”

As Rainon and Nightmare were talking, there was a soft, rhythmic knock on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me!"

"Fio......" Rinon's body trembled slightly, "That...... Come in. ”
