Chapter 53: Going to the Feast
As the prince of the empire, Di Xue naturally attended many banquets in the Eternal City in the past, but it was the first time for Di Xue to attend a banquet on a big tree.
When the light emitted by the endless leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life began to change, and the entire Ancient Tree of Life gradually turned from the golden color of the diffuse dusk to the mysterious and tranquil blue, the Dark Elves ushered in their "night".
Soft, ethereal singing echoed in the four rooms, the elves with black butterfly wings chanting ancient music.
Both Dexue and Taylor changed into the black silk robes unique to the Dark Elves, the pure black robes were loose but not fat, and the silky fabric was very comfortable to wear.
Standing in front of the cabin, Taylor pulled the long black dress on his body and spun around in place, the light and loose silk skirt was decorated with small white flowers, the long skirt danced with her golden hair, Taylor, who had never worn black clothes and long skirts, had a certain different temperament at this time.
Taylor's blonde hair and blue eyes are characteristic of the northerners of the empire, but her delicate small mouth, tall and fitting nose, and soft eyebrows often make Di Xue suspect that she also has southernal blood in her.
At this time, the ancient robe of the dark elves on her body made her look mysterious, and her long golden hair and beautiful face mixed the advantages of the northerners and southerners of the empire, and she was beautiful.
She has a beauty that is hard to ignore, but her body seems to be shrouded in a hazy light veil, which makes people unable to grasp or touch, which is the peculiar temperament given to her by practicing the exercises of the Brotherhood of Light.
It is like a brilliant light in the dark night, and it is like a mysterious darkness under the light, which will leave this world at any time and go away.
Taylor stopped and smiled at Di Xue: "This dress doesn't have a belt, it's really a little unaccustomed." ”
Di Xue just looked at her stunned and didn't say anything.
Taylor, who had just danced lightly, was like an epiphany in an instant, which made Di Xue's heart amazed, but after the amazement, there was a momentary pain for no reason. Taylor's temperament is too hazy, mysterious and beautiful dreamy, as if one day she will really leave this hustle and bustle and fly away like a mysterious and gorgeous black butterfly.
Taylor looked at Di Xue in a daze and said, "What's wrong?
Di Xue said to her very seriously and solemnly: "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking." ”
Taylor played with a strand of his long blonde hair and smiled shyly.
At this time, the High Priestess of Weiner flew down from the top of the Ancient Tree of Life with several dark elves, and they hovered in front of Emperor Xue and Taylor, and the High Priest of Weiner said, "Your Highness Imperial Snow, Miss Taylor, please follow me to the Crown of Ancient Trees to participate in our clan's Yuan Rite Festival. ”
Di Xue nodded to High Priest Weiner and said, "We are more than happy to go. ”
Taylor looked at the top of the tall Ancient Tree of Life and asked curiously, "But how do we get there, High Priest, we don't have wings?" ”
Weiner laughed, "Don't worry. Then he spread his hands and began to chant the ancient elven incantation.
Di Xue sensed that there were faint elements of heaven and earth gathered in the branches and leaves of the void space and the ancient tree of life, converging at their feet.
In a matter of moments, a mass of power condensed with a majestic dark aura enveloped Di Xue and Taylor, dragging their bodies and flying!
High Priest Weiner was in front of him, leading the two of them to the crown of the ancient tree of life, which was full of brilliant leaves.
Di Xue and Taylor looked at each other and smiled, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the ancient tree of life in the flight, Di Xue stretched out her hand and gently held Taylor's hand, both of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and the breeze gently encouraged them to wear pure black robes and long skirts, so that the elves with black butterfly wings among the ancient trees all stopped and looked into the distance, attracted by the temperament of the two.
The group flew over the huge branches of the ancient tree, rubbing shoulders with the evergreen vines hanging from the huge branches and leaves, and the elven wooden houses built on the trunks gradually became smaller and smaller under their feet, and after about ten minutes, Di Xue and Taylor were led by the high priest of Weiner to the crown of the ancient tree of life.
On the wide and abnormal crown of ancient trees, the first thing that catches your eye is a circle of tall black stone pillars, there are about dozens of stone pillars, and a circle is encircled on the top of the ancient canopy, and black stone slabs are placed above the stone pillars, and the stone slabs are connected to each other, forming a very regular circle at the top of the stone pillars.
Sixteen long stone tables are placed in an orderly manner between the wide platforms surrounded by dozens of black stone pillars, and the stone tables are full of fresh melons and fruits and fine wine that are special products of the dark elves, and the aroma of wine and fruit lingers here, and nearly 100 dark elves are sitting or standing or spreading their wings and flying, full of laughter and laughter.
In the center of the platform is an altar, surrounded by four black jade statues, one holding a scroll and reading, one holding a staff, and one holding a sword, all three of which are dark elf statues with black butterfly wings and pointed ears.
The fourth black jade statue is actually a human man, holding a crystal wine jug in one hand and a crystal wine glass in the other, as if he is drinking happily, with a beautiful and beautiful expression.
High Priest Weiner landed on the platform with Taylor and Tyre, and led them to the altar in the center of the platform.
The dark elves in the arena all looked at Dexue and Taylor with curiosity, they had lived in the underground world of Greenstad all their lives, and there were not many opportunities to see humans.
A female dark elf looked at the two people walking towards the altar and whispered to her companion, "Wow, look, this is the human prince, I heard the high priest of Weiner say that he is a descendant of the great god Dichen. ”
Her companion whispered, "He's very handsome, you know? He saved Princess Nia from the claws of the Burning Tiger, he must be a very powerful man." ”
A male dark elf beside them was a little dissatisfied, "Why do you two become when you see a handsome guy?" Hmm, the human beauty he is holding is not bad, what a mysterious temperament...... "After that, he wiped his saliva......
The male elf was immediately beaten violently......
High Priest Weiner led Snowy and Taylor straight to the altar in the center of the platform, and by the altar stood a male dark elf, wearing a crown made of green leaves and green vines, holding a wooden white jade scepter in his hand, and the black butterfly wings behind him were a little different from other dark elves, glowing with a dreamlike purple light.
Di Xue noticed this dark elf from the moment he came here, there was an aura on his body that he was very familiar with, this aura was so deep and unfathomable, people did not dare to snoop, this kind of aura he had only seen in two people before, one was Master Tina and the other was Master Herris.
"He's ...... Master!" Di Xue's heart was shocked.
Approaching the dark elf with a vine crown and a scepter, High Priest Weiner said to him, "My king, please allow me to introduce our distinguished guests, His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince of the Rose Empire, and Miss Taylor, a close disciple of the first master Herris. Miss Taylor, Your Highness Emperor Xue, this is the king of my dark elf clan."
Di Xue and Taylor each gave an elder salute to the Dark Elf King, saying, "I've seen the respected Dark Elf King. ”
The Dark Elf King's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said to the hundreds of Dark Elves in the room, "Let's raise a glass to welcome the distinguished guests from afar!"
For a moment, the dark elves on the platform raised their wine glasses and saluted Taylor and Dixue
After a casual conversation with the Dark Elf King, Desnow and Taylor left the altar and walked freely among the platforms at the top of the ancient canopy.
Di Xue said to Taylor, "I didn't expect the Dark Elf King to be a master. ”
Taylor said, "Well, this is really a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, do you see those three dark elves standing with the Priest of Weiner?
Di Xue nodded, the three dark elves who stood with the Weiner priest to drink were the other three high priests of the dark elf clan.
Taylor said, "And the 'Holy Beastmaster' who brought me to Greenstod, he should be the same ...... as the Dark Elf King."
Taylor suddenly turned his head in surprise, and the soft singing and laughter of the elves in the room also died down at this time.
A beautiful snow lion came from the void, and every step in the air was accompanied by a white luminous lotus flower under the lion's steps, and the snow-white hair all over its body was exuding a heroic light.
Step by step, Shen Yun condensed under his feet, it stepped on the white lotus in the void and walked on the platform on the ancient canopy, like a divine beast that could only appear in the Holy Heaven Realm in ancient mythology, and everyone in the field was intoxicated by its beauty.
Dexue and Taylor were equally intoxicated, but they were even more shocked by the aura it emanated, which was so palpitating and powerful, especially the coercion unique to the Holy Beast, which they had never felt in their own teachers or mentors before.
The snow lion landed on the platform and walked towards the altar in the center of the platform, and the dark elves in the field saluted the snow lion, and the snow lion nodded to them kindly.
It glanced at Dexue and Taylor as it passed by.
With just one glance, Di Xue and Taylor felt that all of their qi qi qi was hidden in its eyes, and Di Xue had the illusion that if this Holy Beast King wanted to kill him, he only needed to look at himself for a moment, and he would die.
The Holy Beast King walked to the altar, nodded to the Dark Elf King as a greeting, and then lay down beside the altar, closing his eyes as if he was napping.
The Dark Elf King and the elves in the field also seemed to be accustomed to this person's style, and soon they went about their own things, singing and singing, and eating melons and eating melons.
Taylor secretly looked at the snow lion who was napping by the altar, and secretly said to Di Xue, "I don't know if it's male or female?"
The one who was napping at the altar suddenly opened his eyes and winked at Taylor, who felt a voice ring in his heart: "Mother"
Taylor's face turned pale, and he looked around in panic.
Di Xue said strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the snow lion who closed his eyes again, Taylor said with a blank face: "No...... It's nothing. ”
Di Xue: "???"
The fruit wine specially brewed by the dark elf clan is a little sweet, Di Xue drank a few glasses and felt that it was more like juice, and the feldspar table between the platforms was full of melon and fruit snacks, this kind of vegan banquet Di Xue made Di Xue feel very special.
There is only the melodious singing voice of the elf girl and the warm and comfortable atmosphere, and there is no such glamorous sound and annoying ballroom dancing as she used to attend banquets in the Eternal City, which makes Di Xue feel more relaxed.
"Well, the Dark Elves' banquet is much better than those noble banquets in the Eternal City. Taylor, who was still being held by Di Xue, said.
Di Xue smiled: "Oh, what do you say?"
Taylor gave him a blank look and said, "At least there is no noble lady who suddenly pours on you out of nowhere, or a red wine glass that falls from the sky." ”
Di Xue smiled dumbly, he is the prince of the empire, and when he participated in some banquets in the past, there were naturally many aristocratic girls who dreamed of being the princess and concubine and tried their best to talk to him, these sudden "attacks" that Taylor said were what he often encountered, and in the past, this kind of time was often the time when Xu Bo or Taylor needed to come out and play blackface.
Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the altar in the center of the platform again, and Di Xue looked at the statue of the only human man among the four black jade statues beside the altar, and suddenly fell silent.
The statue of the man is holding a pot in one hand and raising a glass in the other, making a gesture to drink the wine in the cup, and the ghostly carving makes his expression and posture beautiful and chic.
