Chapter 104 To the ancient city of Ascalan

Ussuriga quickly asked the Magic Council for the nearest teleportation shift, and then he ordered the troops to stay in the city of Aita, and he took his wife back to the ancient city of Ascalan to report on his duties. Along the way, the great apostle Elles Ting and her students Glenya, and Heras.

The Magic Council of Aita City is located in a magnificent magic garden. All the teleportation facilities are open-air. Although it is convenient for maintenance, it is obviously not safe. It's not a transmission center, it's just a non-important terminal in the transmission network, so in order to save costs, it's simply placed in the open air.

Under the leadership of the staff of the council, Heras and his team walked to the teleportation shift to which they belonged. Some enchanted vines and flowers kept swinging their graceful petals and vine branches to welcome the guests. This is the most popular among mages. What Yi criticized was that druids tried their best to maintain the original ecology of the natural environment and creatures, while mages like to use magic to transform all kinds of magical creatures casually. Whether they are extraordinary creatures with blood or not, basically they cannot escape mages. their evil hands.

There are already many people waiting around the teleportation array. This is not the transit teleportation array, but the initial teleportation point. A line of information is constantly floating around the magic circle of the teleportation platform. The transfer location: Qingshui River Valley, Ascaran City, Second transit point: Eternal Night Forest, capital Eternal Night King City, destination: Floating Light Coast, Emerald Port.

There is also a countdown on the teleportation array: 10 minutes.

"Clear Water Valley?" Heras asked Glelenya beside him curiously. He thought that Ascalan was also in the Evernight Forest. He was very unfamiliar with this geographical term. Human society knew about the Elven Empire. rare.

"The Eternal Night Forest surrounds the northern part of the Elf Empire in a semi-circle. The forest area accounts for half of the empire's territory. The terrain in the south of the Eternal Night Forest suddenly drops like a cliff. Many rivers in the forest gather at the center of the semi-circular valley. , that is the Qingshui River Valley. From there, the gathered rivers send out various tributaries and go straight to the vast coast of the southernmost part of the empire." Glenya explained in detail.

"Is that the birthplace of the elves in the Western Continent?" Heras asked casually.

"Yes, Qingshui River Valley is the hometown of the elves in the Western Continent." Ussuriga heard the words and said, "But after discovering the Evernight Forest, no, at that time the King of Eternal Night had not yet been born, and there was no such thing as the Evernight Forest. At that time, this vast semi-circular forest was called the Green Sea."

"After discovering that there is a vast green sea of ​​forests above the cliff, the elves began to migrate there, and each migrating team would form a tribe in the green sea, and over time the green sea was occupied by various tribes of elves. It was not unified until the King of Eternal Night was born." Usuliga paused, and continued: "But some elves did not migrate to the Green Sea, they chose to move to the south of the Qingshui River Valley, and even lived directly on the coastline, although The empire has been unified for a long time, but with the cliffs of the Evernight Forest as the dividing line, the elves in the north and the south still have a slight difference in thinking."

"If my guess is correct, those elves who don't live in the Evernight Forest are more inclined to study magic?" Heras said thoughtfully.

"You guessed right, Mr. Scholar. It seems that you do have a keen intuition about history." Ursulaga glanced at Heras in surprise, then nodded and said, "Although every big city has At the same time, there are institutions set up by the Magic Council and the Druid Elders' House, but in the south under the forest cliff, the influence of the Magic Council is dominant, while in the Evernight Forest to the north, it is mainly inclined to druids Elderly House."

"Glelenya, where is your hometown?" Heras asked with interest, only he knew why he asked this question.

"It's just a small town in the south of Ascalan." The female priest quickly guessed what Heras was thinking.She said as if nothing had happened, but sighed in her heart, although the elves in the south are more receptive to new things than the elves in the northern forest.But that is for the pursuit of development and knowledge, and for marriage, the elves are equally conservative regardless of the north and the south.

"Actually, most of the population of the empire is concentrated in the Forest of Eternal Night, so the strength of the Druid House of Elders is generally much stronger than that of the Council of Magic." Ursula's wife interjected with a smile, but Heras I could hear the faint pride in her tone, the pride of being a druid.

"If you talk about personal strength, it is indeed the president of the Magic Council. Ms. Erica is stronger, because she has been studying and teaching in your human mage organization-Pillar of the Void." Before Heras could speak, Usuriga's wife continued: "But there is only one president of the Magic Council, and there are several great elders in the Druid House of Elders. To be honest, I don't like the spells of mages very much, although it is a bit offensive to say so. You, Mr. Emma, ​​but many of your mages' spells are harmful to nature."

Heras just smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and didn't say anything. The druid's concept is like this. Although they are both spellcasters, they have always had great differences with the mages. If it is those elves who have been expelled, they can still communicate. , but for conservative diehards like the Elf Empire, the more communication the greater the friction, he simply shut up.

Regarding the power of the Elven Empire, Heras has a rough judgment. The most powerful force in the Elf Empire is the Temple of the Moon God composed of the gods. The influence of the Temple of the Moon God is not limited to the Western Continent. The priests serving the King of Eternal Night are all dominated by the Temple of the Moon God, including the elf tribes of the Pangea, as well as other races, and all priests of the Moon God on other continents. It can be said that the Temple of the Moon God does not belong exclusively to the Elf Empire, but to Anfalong The spiritual temple for all Luna believers in the highest plane.

Therefore, the Temple of the Moon God generally ignores the government affairs of the Elf Empire, and is indifferent to the distribution of the interests of the empire. For the priests, material conditions are dispensable, as long as they can get the correct belief knowledge and divine magic guidance, no matter how poor they are, Does not affect gaining power.

And the second largest force in the Elven Empire is the political power. The army composed of a large number of bloodlines and some spellcasters maintains the order of the regime. In fact, the Elven Empire is a country that combines politics and religion, because the Elven Emperor is the church of the Moon God Temple. According to Zong, the army usually has the right to recruit priests.

Since the magic civilization of the Elven Empire is far behind that of the other empires in Pangea, their power of spellcasters is relatively weak, especially when the power of spellcasters is split into the Magic Council and the Druid Elders In the case of the hospital, it has not been able to make great progress.

Just as Heras was pondering, a wave of turbulent space interrupted his thoughts.

"The teleportation is ready." The great apostle Elestine said upon seeing this, and stepped on the magic circle of the teleportation platform first, and then the surrounding passengers who were waiting for the teleportation flight walked up one after another.

"This transmission flight arrives at three stations, transit point: Qingshui River Valley, Ascalan City, second transit point: Eternal Night Forest, capital Eternal Night King City, destination: Floating Light Coast, Emerald Port." A pleasant standard The elf female voice came from several giant trumpet flowers next to the magic circle, and explained the message of the magic circle in a mechanical tone: "Guests holding transfer tickets, please leave the transfer transmission circle as soon as possible after arriving in the selected city, so as not to delay the transmission time. , if you do not leave the circle on time, you will need to make up the difference in the price of the transfer ticket after arriving at the next stop."

After the elven female voice mechanically recounted it several times, the magic circle began to gradually accumulate magical brilliance, and the space turbulence became more and more obvious, making people standing on the magic circle seem a little flickering, and then the teleportation light suddenly brightened After that, all the passengers disappeared in the magic circle.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed immediately, and they were transported to a secret room, and most of the walls in the room were exquisite and elegant murals of elves.

The ancient city of Askalan has arrived...

Ascalan City is a military center and also a teleportation hub, so the magic council in this city will definitely set up the teleportation array underground, and will definitely use multiple magic arrays to reinforce the ground to prevent it from being destroyed by the spells of the earth element faction. .

There are already some elves waiting in this transfer room. Seeing that Heras and his party left the magic circle, they quickly walked up to the transit teleportation circle, while the slow-moving elves were saturated due to the capacity of the teleportation circle. Had to wait again for the next shift.....

Then everyone left the teleportation hub along the underground corridor, and walked into the hall of the Ascaran Magic Council from the underground steps.

As soon as he stepped into the council hall, Heras clearly felt that although the architectural style of this city still contained the artistic features of the ancient traditions of the elves, it was quite different from the city in the Evernight Forest.

The walls of the building still have the exquisite pattern of hollowing out that is unique to the elves, but the material of the building is different. For example, the pillars of the building are no longer thick and vigorous tree trunks, but carefully carved emerald green water jade magic stone pillars , the floor is no longer a flowering living wood floor, but a piece of chic water jade bricks that show the ancient elegance of the elves.

It is the nature of elves to love natural plants, so all kinds of flowers and trees are still scattered around the hall, but they are not used as the main material to support the building, but are cultivated in bonsai and flower beds as furnishings in the hall, and on the outer wall The openwork patterns on the top complement each other.

The tables and chairs here are not the kind of living wood furniture that can grow and bloom, but are made of exquisite green agate inlaid in fluorescent stone, but the style of the tables and chairs and the texture painted on them can still show the oldest Elf art.

The same cultural atmosphere, the same elegant art, and the same ancient tradition, but the two elf cities in the north and the south give people different feelings. Compared with the pure natural but slightly monotonous architectural style of Aita City, the ancient city Ascaran's magnificent, bright, ancient and elegant urban construction style is undoubtedly more in line with human aesthetics.
