Pillars of Ita

The communication crystal on Fang He's collar suddenly lit up. A red light flashed through the dark crystal, and a voice came from it:
"Ed, run away."

He immediately recognized the owner of the voice: "Sister Ming? Teacher, why are you here?"

"Don't talk yet," Ming's voice was unusually serious, even with a hint of haste, "Listen to me first. The Alliance has sent three dragon knights to hunt you down. Including me, there are four of us in total. I will try my best to delay them, but you don't have much chance. Hide far away and run as far as you can."

Fang He held the communication crystal, but the light of the crystal had gone out. "Mr. Ed?" Princess Alsana asked from the side.

"We must leave this place immediately." the elven warlock further spoke.

"We—" Fang He wanted to say something, but the crystal in his hand became brighter and another voice came out of it: "Ed, I feel the movement of the Twins, what's wrong with you?"

A similar scene had happened before. When they met the Journey of Heaven in Idus, Mia had sensed the arrival of another dragon knight through the movement of the Twins.

But it doesn't always work. During the Great Northern War, and during the Empire, a similar situation never happened again.

until now.

In Fang He's eyes, the image of the wolf girl was projected in the Dragon Knight system's frame, with long silver hair and silver pointed ears. When Mia saw his expression, she guessed something:
"Are the people from the Alliance coming?"

Fang Plover nodded.

He wanted to talk more about Ming, but Miya interrupted him, "Be careful behind you."

Her eyes became extremely serious, even a little chilly. The depths of the cold pool seemed to reflect an abyss. From the bottom of the abyss, an invisible giant hand stretched out with five fingers spread out, pressing towards Fang He.

Fang He sensed danger from the cold light, turned around, and saw that the wall of the courtyard behind him had turned into a pool of black water, and an indescribable hand stretched out from the bottom of the deep pool and reached out to him.

The power of law.

But a cold wind blew from behind him, and a witch's voice was so cold that it had no temperature: "Get away from him!"

The biting cold wind seemed to become a reality, blowing through every corner of the courtyard, causing the branches to wither and the rocks to be frosted, as if everything had entered the severe winter.

A wolf was walking on the wilderness, its white fur covered with winter frost. Miya was forming seals in Fang He's sight, and she gently raised her hand and pointed.

The laws are intertwined in the sea of ​​light. It passes through space and time, causing the sea of ​​ether divided in two places to vibrate simultaneously.

There was an imperceptible buzzing sound in the hall, causing everyone to look up. The vibration caused the silver cup containing wine to roll off the throne, and the rose-red wine seeped into the long carpet.

The Lord of the Shadow Land, Alyndor, walked quickly to the gate and turned back to look at Halsey with anger on his face: "What are you doing? This is the Radiant Court!"

Melfina could not help but be stunned for a moment. She never thought that things would develop in this direction, with two dragon knights fighting in the autumn forest.

That sea witch, she...

She turned to look at the Elf King, only to see that her father was also shocked. But a king is a king after all, and the Elf King quickly stood up from his throne:

"Let the Sons of Light assemble!"

He looked at Halsey and said, "Tell your people to stop!"

Halsey also did not expect this scene. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. She was really worthy of being the Sea Witch. She originally sent out four dragon knights just to prevent this scene from happening.

But they didn't expect that Corin-Ishurian would send out the Construct Queen. Not to mention that she was not a dragon knight, and Ming Yi went alone, so there were actually only two people left on their side.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'll go and take a look." He nodded slightly, turned around and took a step toward the door. His figure seemed to pass through a series of mirror refractions and turned into a ray of light and disappeared in the distance.

Elindor watched this scene and followed along. As one of the two dragon knights currently in the royal court of the Elf Court, it was obviously necessary for him to stop the situation from deteriorating further.

At this moment, in the courtyard that had already turned into ruins, the owner of the black hand no longer had the slightest joy of finding the target, and was furious:
"Are you crazy!?"

He shouted angrily while removing the strength from his hands.

But it was of no avail. The hand that stretched out from the black slurry turned into dirty liquid again. The black rain fell back to the ground, and a devastating force was plowing through the wriggling wall.

All that was left in Fang He's vision was a vast expanse of white, as if endless power was surging out from the network of ether, and they were gathered here after receiving a call.

That was a dragon knight's full-strength attack, even the space was frozen, the dial of time was slowly slowing down, everything stopped flowing, until everything was frozen.

It seemed as if even the soul was trembling and making a gurgling sound. Fang He, who was just a bystander witnessing all this, felt like he was falling into an abyss.

All I see is emptiness, the world is gone.

It's not like he hasn't seen the dragon knight take action before.

But that was a completely different scene from the world of consciousness, not to mention that this was an angry attack from a powerful dragon knight.

Fortunately, there was a voice lingering in his ears, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

A hand was gently pressed against his vest behind him, as if to hold him up.

A beam of light that spanned the sky and the earth passed through the center of the autumn woods, reaching a depth of four kilometers.

Ailindor was in mid-air watching this scene with a grim expression. Fortunately, it was not in the central area of ​​the royal court, otherwise this blow alone would be enough to destroy half of the Yaoguang Royal Court.

The owner of the black hand - the dragon knight from the empire did not dare to look back. It was not that he could not resist this force, after all, he was also a dragon knight himself.

But if he took action, the name Autumn Glade would most likely no longer exist on the map. He was not worried about what would happen to Autumn Glade, but he would definitely be finished.

He was a dragon knight, but Stargate Port would never let him go, and neither would the elves. There could be double-digit dragon knights, and he didn't want to end up like Mia, a person that everyone wanted to kill.

This crazy woman.

He cursed inwardly.

Fang He, who had regained consciousness, was also speechless as he looked at the scene in front of him. Miya's full-strength attack directly plowed a hole five meters high and ten meters wide in front of him.

Outside the collapsed courtyard was a deep ravine that extended forward through the holy white birch forest, with no end in sight.

This ravine almost divides the Elf King's Court into two. Fortunately, this is in the Elf Court. If it was in Silverwind Harbor, he dare not imagine what would happen.

But he was not so hypocritical as to blame his own people. After all, if they were not allies of the guild, she would not have taken action. Could they just surrender?
Mia had opened a door and appeared beside him. She was wearing almost the same outfit as when he first met her, a long white dress, long silver hair that fell to her waist, and a pair of pointed ears that were turned forward vigilantly.

The girl held the star dagger in her hand, stood in front of him, and looked in the empty direction.

She is the witch of the sea of ​​light, and it is easy for her to travel through the network of the ether. Moreover, for the dragon knight, this distance can be covered in an instant.

But she is, and others are naturally more so.

In the direction she looked, a sea-blue vortex was slowly unfolding. The light refracted in the water and formed a human figure. Halsey, the Queen of Nightingales, slowly walked out of it.

Then, the Lord of the Sun Shadow Land, Alindor, descended from mid-air. He looked at Miya and Fang He behind her with a sullen expression, "Ms. Miya, please explain."

"Miss Mia is not the one who should explain this," a voice came from behind Fang He. The first person to speak out was Alsana. The Elf Princess stepped forward and stood between him and Mia. "Someone attacked Mr. Ed first. He is a guest of the Elf Court. Someone else should be the one to explain this."

As she spoke, she looked at Halsey beside her.

But the Lord of Sun Shadow interrupted him first: "He is no longer a guest of the Elf Court."

"Mr. Elindor," the elven sorcerer chose to speak this time, "Mr. Ed was invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess to visit the Autumn Forest. Before she orders him to leave, I'm afraid no one else can make this decision for him."

"This is His Majesty's order," said Alyndor. "Durin, before you speak for your master, you'd better confirm your position. You are also a member of the Elven Court."

"I don't care." Mia interrupted them. Her tone was calm, and her eyes looked at Halsey and the elf lord. Her meaning was very simple - you can go forward, she won't hold back anyway.

The Lord of the Sun Shadow Land froze for a moment. If it were someone else, he might have hesitated, but this Sea Witch was too famous.

She was sent to the second world, largely because she didn't care about anything else when she started fighting. The first world was full of "historical sites" she left behind.

After she became a dragon rider, she became even more outrageous, and this is where she got the title of Sea Witch. She was the Destroyer of Gold Island, the Witch of White Mist Harbor, and now she has to add one more thing - the Terminator of Covenant Mountain.

The three dragon knights fought here and it was no problem for them to suppress each other, but would the Elven Court still want it? This was the first world.

"Ms. Mia," Alyndor trembled with anger, "Do you think Autumn Forest can do nothing to you?"

He took a step back and gave the order in a deep voice: "Lead the Sons of Light, activate the barrier maze."

Princess Alsana's expression changed, and she turned around and said, "Father wants to seal this place! Mr. Ed, quickly draw out the holy sword and activate the spell on it!"

"Alsana," Alyndor shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to use the Holy Sword of the Elf to protect outsiders. He is just a human!"

But the Elf Princess looked directly at the Lord of the Sun Shadow Land and spoke word by word, "Lord Alyndor, the Holy Sword protects all those who share the same ideals as him, regardless of whether they are human or elf."

"Its master once made a covenant with mortals on the clover field, and together they fought against the enemies from the darkness. The past is long gone, but the holy sword has never forgotten."

"Stop them!"

Irendor ignored her and gave orders to the guards on both sides.

When Fang He saw this scene, he reached out and drew the holy sword without thinking.

When Princess Alsana lent him the sword, she did not tell him how to use the holy sword, nor did she tell him that only those recognized by the holy sword could draw it from the scabbard.

But Fang He picked up the holy sword with one hand and grasped the hilt with the other, and pulled it gently, and a pool of snow light leaped out from the scabbard.

It was like the first ray of starlight in a lonely night.

Elindor couldn't help but stand there in a daze as he watched this scene. The chief warlock behind Alsana widened his eyes. No human had ever been able to pull out the holy sword of the elves.

"Arsana, you..."

The Lord of Sun Shadow Land froze for a moment.

Fang He was also stunned, not because he had drawn the sword, but because he did not see any spells on the sword. The sword body was as smooth as a pool of cold water, and there were only star and moon emblems engraved on the mithril blade.

He had seen such an emblem before. It was actually a pattern passed down from generation to generation by the People of Light. It came from the household ornaments of the first generation of Elf Kings and gradually evolved into the holy emblem of the elves.

But what about the spell?

How is he going to pronounce the spell above?
Fang He couldn't help but look back at Alsana behind him.

However, among the people present, only one person reacted, and that was Nightingale Tenth King Halsey. He spoke into the void somewhere:
"Don't let him get the sword." Then he pointed his finger, and a cold light shot out from his hand, hitting Fang He's wrist. He held back this time, otherwise Fang He would not be able to keep his hand and sword, and this attack only made Fang He's hand numb, and the holy sword in his hand fell down involuntarily.

He attacked so quickly that even the Sea Witch Miya on Fang He's side didn't have time to react. Everyone only saw him raise his hand, and the holy sword in Fang He's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

It took Fang He a moment to realize what had happened. He quickly reached out to grab the sword, but he missed it.

The ground suddenly softened and a black tentacle stretched out from the ground. It pulled at the sword and knocked the holy sword away, hitting the holy statue not far away.

At that moment, Fang He and Miya beside him turned in that direction at the same time. Fang He placed one hand on his information crystal and projected a floating blue shadow in that direction.

The ship officer was a little slower, but she also immediately pressed her hands on the ground. The ground rumbled and trembled, and a pair of clay hands stretched out to grasp the holy sword.

But Halsey stepped in front of her first, "Excuse me, Miss Sylvie."

He slashed with his backhand, and a cold light split the pair of mud hands in two, turning them into loose soil and stones that fell down one after another.

Sylvie, who was controlling the Mud Hand, couldn't help but groan and knelt on the ground.

On the other side, Elindor blocked Mia's path. He did not take action, but this obstruction prevented the wolf girl from reaching the holy sword in time.

However, the Seraphim Helver summoned by Fang He was still a step too slow. A black vortex unfolded in the direction where the holy sword fell, and then a man walked out of it and reached out to grab the holy sword.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"You are the first one who dares to play tricks in front of three dragon knights," he looked at Fang He, "except for that little girl Loofah."

But his words stopped abruptly.

Because he also took an empty one.

The holy sword spun and fell from the air, then landed on a hand - a slender, powerful hand, the owner of which wore three rings.

……

Inside the hall, the Elf King was slowly standing up from his throne.

Melfina was also looking outside the hall in astonishment - because the army that was gathering here was not the army leading the Sons of Light, but another group among them.

The former dynasty of Leading Light was once divided into two. One of them called themselves the Holy White People, inherited the will of the previous king Quevenlar, and became today's Holy White People.

The other group always kept the secret and became the keepers of the oath. They lived in the dense forest, Heimdall, and were called the People of the Moon.

Moon elf.

Just as light is accompanied by shadow, starlight rises and starlight sets.

Day after day, year after year, the luxuriance in the forest must be accompanied by withering, representing the other side of the goddess of luxuriance, which must be the harsh winter.

Another of them is the Lady of the Shadow in the Woods, whose temple is guarded by the Folk of the Moon in secret woodlands unknown to all.

They are the other side of the Son of Light.

The guardians of the Shadow Temple, the Shadow Keepers, the Secret Guard Knights, those knights in purple robes, were surrounding an elf and coming in front of the two of them.

Melfina knew the other person, but the Elf King spoke before her: "Lord Isrealus, why are you here? Do you bring any news from the Elders Council?"

"And who are they?" The Elf King looked at the Holy Guards from the Forest Shadow Temple in confusion. Unlike most people, he naturally knew where these elves came from.

The moon elf knights also looked up at the elven king.

This is the first time they have come here on their own initiative since the two ethnic groups parted ways a thousand years ago.

Isrealus Frostcurtain was the one that Melfi and Fang He saw in the diary. He was the Great Druid Lord and the Master of the Golden Forest. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it is not that I came here on purpose, but someone asked me to escort someone to see you."

"who is it?"

"You'll know it when you see it," Isrealus shook his head. He stepped aside, revealing two people behind him - one of them was a tall lion-man with red mane and silver eyes, holding a big sword and wearing armor. One of its eyes had been damaged in the battle, leaving only a long scar.

The beautiful mane was tied into bunches, put on platinum rings, and hung under the chin. It was the favorite attire of the Mirran Holy Guards, a gift from the sun god.

But the holy emblem on its armor points to another goddess, the free paladin of Marlan.

Behind the lion-man was an elven woman. She was totally different from the Holy White People. Her brown skin was covered with mysterious patterns, she had long black hair, and a veil that only revealed a pair of brown eyes. Her pointed ears were adorned with amethyst ornaments that were rarely used by elves.

Because purple crystal symbolizes ominousness in the culture of the Holy White Tree. It is the color of death and withering, the color of shadow, like the rotten wood under the forest. Death grows under the shadow of dead leaves.

If Daryl were here she would have known who he was: the Lady of the Shadow, her Chosen One, her Chosen One.

The Great Saint of the Shadow Temple.

"Your Excellency," the Elf King naturally recognized her, "You left Heimwor with any news? The shadow in the forest is spreading to the Hill of Giant Trees. I hope it is not sad news."

But the elf woman shook her head gently. "What I bring is not good news, but it is not bad news either. The shadows in the forest are dim and unclear, and the withering death is about to be born, but the fate of the twins has designated one person."

She paused.

"I'm going to take him from here."

The Elf King was so perceptive that he almost immediately thought of a possibility and couldn't help looking at the other party with some surprise. "The Moon Clan hasn't interacted with the Shining Light Court for a thousand years. Is this the purpose of your visit?"

Melfina also reacted in an instant, her face full of disbelief. When did that person have any dealings with the moon elves?
But she suddenly thought of what Fang He had said - was he so sure that the dead lady was fine because of this reason? Did the Oath Keepers know something?
She couldn't help but ask immediately, "Your Majesty, the withered lady is fine? Did she send down another oracle?"

"That's not the case," the Saint of the Moon Elf shook her head again, "On the contrary, this time we came here because of the oracle of the other twin."

"This is impossible!"

The Elf King and Isrealas spoke at the same time that although the great druid elder escorted the saint from another race all the way here, it was because the two had a common ancestor.

What's more, the goddess worshipped by the moon elves is also the other Gemini goddess.

But what does it mean that the elves of Heimwol received the oracle of Aimaea, but they did not?
But the saint from the alien race was not nervous. Instead, she shook her head calmly and said, "It is possible, Your Majesty, because we saw a beam of starlight descending from the night sky."

……

People saw the beam of starlight descending.

The moment you see a starry night flower bloom.

They saw dewdrops dripping from the stamens of the flowers.

Splashing water on the rocks.

One of the stars turned into a ring, which symbolized the prosperity of nature. It was woven from grass and trees, with white flowers on it, and the largest one had golden textures on it.

Just like the flowers blooming on the starry night.

A sacred tree symbolizing immortality, made of mithril and inlaid with rubies. Light flows in the rubies like flames. The elves call it Terraka, which means eternity.

Eternity is the moment when the dewdrop falls.

Only the third ring was ordinary, as if it was made of silver, dull and lifeless, and shaped like a hard stone - except that it was inlaid with an emerald gem, like an eternally green forest.

But it is the most important of the three rings.

Fang He only recognized this one.

The Ring of Light, the symbol of the kings.

Elindor and his party looked at that man - the elf, and were stunned for a moment.

Not only him, but also Halsey, the dragon knight of the empire, and even the sea witch Mia could not help but stand there in shock when they saw that elf.

The tall elf caught the sword, smiled gently at the imperial dragon knight beside him, and looked at the sword in his hand.

The words on the blade lit up one by one. They were exactly the spell that Arsana had said. The Oshuite stood aside, not even daring to breathe.

Because people have seen his image in many paintings. He once stood with the first owner of the Philosophical Hand, and there was a third person among them.

The man was wearing the alchemist robes commonly seen today, and was using gestures to explain to the two of them the future of magical arts and how they would shape mortal civilization.

"Long time no see, old man."

The elf held the sword and spoke.

Then he looked at everyone and walked forward, as if passing through a layer of water ripples, walking from fantasy to reality, passing through the dragon knight of the empire and coming in front of Fang He.

It was as if a layer of dreamy veil was receding from the image of the elf, allowing Fang He to see the other's face more clearly - even among the elves, he rarely saw such a handsome image.

The other person had a pair of silver eyes, like stars, just like Alsana and Melfina's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of familiarity in them that made him feel familiar.

The man had slender silver ornaments on his pointed ears and long hair hanging down behind his head. He held the sword in reverse and handed it to Fang He:

"Didn't I tell you, young man, if you choose to move forward, you must be careful."

He is the son of the stars.

A person who leads the light.

The first Elf King, Kwevenlar.

"Because the road to hope is never so safe, and there are thorns and dangers ahead. You and Alsana hold this sword together, and it should help you cut through the thorns."

"You...you are..." Fang He couldn't believe his eyes.

But why is this one here?
If everything I saw in the illusion not long ago can be explained, then what does this scene in front of me represent?
Shouldn't the other party have been buried here seven hundred years ago?

But Kwivenlar reached out his hand and gently tapped his chest. At that moment Fang He understood. Only he knew what was there.

The grey gem.

But what exactly is that gem? How could it have such power that it could allow the Elf King to cross thousands of years and bring a strand of his consciousness here?
What did Kwvenlar give him?
