Heart of the Castle

Chapter 611 Devil's shadow, the flames of war continue

The first time Li Wei Ston met the Elf Elder, he was still in the palace of the Evergreen Tower.The old elf didn't impress the Griffon Lord very deeply, but the wrinkled old face, the arms like withered branches, and the same mottled and ancient staff of Droma in his hand made the elf The Great Elder is especially special among the elves who are rich in handsome men and beautiful women.

The Elf Grand Elder's status in the Elven King's Court is not very high, because unlike the three singers, each generation of Grand Elder is held by the oldest rather than the best high elf.However, the prestige and status of this generation of elf elders are higher than those of previous ones. He has participated in many events in the history of elves, and his life span is so long that even the oldest trees in the Moonwhispering Forest are surprised. It is a living history book of Moon Language Forest.

After the Dragon War, the power of the high elves was shared by other groups. The elder elves and the sun chant had similar positions, and they both hoped that the high elves could regain power.However, he adopted a relatively gentle method, hoping to win over more powerful people from other ethnic groups. Therefore, in the minds of many intelligent ethnic group leaders, the approachable Elf Elder is closer than the arrogant and indifferent Sunsinger too much.

Only a few people can see the true position of the Elf Elder, and Master War Dancer Unicon Fizeld is one of them.He once proposed to remove the Sun Chanter and Elf Elder at the same time, because he realized that there was no essential difference in their positions, and they were both trying to restore the high elves to power.

However, this Elf Elder who once had both prestige and status is now lying quietly in the middle of the ruins of the Tower of the Sun, his face is covered with soot, his body is charred from the chest down, and his legs have even been broken into several pieces. Duan, it looks like a charred dry wood.Li Wei originally thought that the Elder Elder had breathed his last, but when everyone surrounded him, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

"This... this is different from what we... agreed on..." The great elder's withered lips squirmed a few times, and his voice was low as if he was raving, "It must be a misunderstanding, it must be...something went wrong. Dali Your Majesty Jia...why...don't listen to my explanation, why..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, complex emotions intertwined with anger, puzzlement, confusion and bitterness flowed through the hearts of every member of the Elf King Court, making them speechless for a while.A stagnant atmosphere immediately descended on the ruins of the Tower of the Sun.

"It's already obvious." Li Wei said softly, "The name that the Sun Chanter will say when he is dying should be His Excellency the Great Elder."

Li Wei's voice seemed to break the spell of silence, and whispers spread everywhere, and many people clenched their fists, or rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Great Elder... he, he is actually..."

"Ailara, how could it be possible..."

"What did we do! Those two people, the two traitors..."

Whispering voices spread through the crowd like ripples of uneasiness, the eyes of Unicon Fizeld and Larry Moonbow gleamed with anger, the expressions of the Marquis Osiris and the Elf Queen were bitter and unspeakable, The eyes of most high elves were filled with tears of fear.

The Elder Elder's voice became lower and lower, red foam was slowly oozing out from the corner of his mouth, and his gaze gradually became dizzy. "He's about to die, do you want to treat him?" Green Leaf Singer frowned and made a judgment.

"Why do we treat this traitor?" An elder of the elf court said angrily, in addition to anger, there was also a lot of panic and confusion in his tone.

Compared with the strong and uncompromising Sun Chanter, the Elf Great Elder with a more moderate stand is more like the core figure of the high elves. Now the Sun Chanter has died with a very dishonorable reputation, and the Grand Elder They also colluded with the Fen Mie Dragon King, which made many high elves who had followed them and were used to their orders feel helpless.

"It's better to treat him." The chief stargazer Perseus reminded in a low voice, "If we let him die now, I'm afraid there will be many things that we will never be able to figure out."

The Mercy Singer looked at the Elf Queen, and after obtaining Her Majesty's approval, he carefully summoned a light green light.When the elven priestess casts divine spells based on the goddess of life Alara, she always inadvertently carries a trace of natural power. Although this can improve the healing effect of the divine spells, but because the power is not pure enough, after comprehending The source of power is more difficult.

The effect of this divine spell is very mild and long-lasting. The benevolent singer's prudent approach is not to touch the original power of the flames that the Burning Dragon King may leave in the Elder Elder's body, but fortunately, His Majesty the Dragon King did not do so.After the green light slowly penetrated into the Great Elder's body, it immediately had an effect, restoring some vitality to his already dark face.

"Great Elder, what did you do just now?" The Elf Queen asked in a stern tone, "You destroyed the magic enchantment center of the Tower of the Sun? The breath of Droma's staff left in the ruins No one, and you were the one who led the Burning Dragon King Dalijia into the Moon Whispering Forest?"

"You...you don't understand, Her Majesty."

Although the Great Elder seemed to have regained some of his physical strength, this was also the last bit of vitality squeezed out of his decayed body by the healing magic.The extreme weakness made his voice almost hard to hear, so that the people around him subconsciously held their breath and listened.

"The strength of His Majesty the Burning Dragon King Darija... is too powerful, and it is impossible for the Moon Whispering Forest to resist his attack. Even if the defensive barrier of the Evergreen Tower is not damaged, hundreds of years of continuous operation will make the knot The world has become fragile." The Elder Elder described his thoughts with difficulty, "And...His Majesty Dariga has promised my request, as long as the Moon Whisper Forest surrenders to him in name...you can...keep everything, Everything. We high elves...we should enter a new era under the leadership of His Majesty Darika, we will take back the power from those pathetic guys, and all opponents will be driven out of the Moonwhispering Forest...our high elves The home of the elves!"

The elf elder's speech ability is quite amazing, and he has been the spiritual leader of the high elves for hundreds of years. Even now he is seriously injured and dying, and his collusion with the Burning Dragon King has also been confirmed. Several high elves nodded subconsciously to his statement, expressing their agreement. They didn't wake up in a cold sweat until they saw the warning eyes of their companions.

"The guardian enchantment of the Evergreen Tower has been operating consistently for hundreds of years, and has never shown signs of weakening." The chanter of mercy said.

Then the Green Leaf Chanter also agreed, "That's right, the druids of the Natural Magic Association check the guardian barrier every month. Although we can't strengthen the power of the guardian barrier, at least we can guarantee that the guardian barrier does not happen. Any weakness. More importantly, if the Burning Dragon King really doesn't care about the protective barrier of the Evergreen Tower, why would he destroy this place, the magic barrier center of the Tower of the Sun?"

The Elder Elder gasped in pain, his vitality was almost exhausted, and even thinking normally had become quite difficult. "I saw it... that's what I saw... the enchantment of the Evergreen Tower can't resist the Burning Dragon King, the tower is too weak, it's impossible... a lot of flames, like shining red diamonds, countless Facets reflecting light, spinning, sinking, burning, destroying, how terrible, I see, I... gem, ruby, my... gem."

The Elder Elder's voice disappeared, his body twitched violently twice, his scorched black hands stretched out to the sky, his fingers twitched as if trying to grasp something.However, the only result of this effort was to kill him. Finally, a sigh-like sound came out from the Elder Elder's mouth, his distorted expression froze forever on his face, and he remained motionless.

Seeing the horrific death of the Great Elder and the last prophecy he left behind, many members of the Elf King's Court felt strange chills in their hearts, and their entire spines seemed to be soaked in the icy cold stream. Almost unable to move.

"What did he see at the end of his life?" Green Leaf Singer's voice broke the silence.

"What destruction, what ruby? I think he is unconscious at all." The chief stargazer Perseus commented in a deliberate disdainful tone, "The stars did not tell us such an ending, and the Moon Whisper Forest will always be will not be destroyed."

"The stars also told you that the human mission cannot win the ceremony of peace." A low voice sounded from behind him, and Perseus turned around in annoyance, looking sharply at the crowd behind him, but he didn't There is no way to find the person who speaks.

"The Deceitful Lord Hendrick." Mr. Dish said suddenly, "That magic is called the Ruby Prism of Lies. It is the exclusive magic of the Deceitful Lord Hendrick. Except for him and his lackeys, no magician can cast it."

"Human magician, according to your statement, there are abyssal demons involved in this matter?" Green Leaf Chanter's tone, if not denial, at least there is suspicion, "The elf royal court has never been with you for hundreds of years. The abyssal demons have clashed, but you humans are fighting endlessly with the demons."

"Does the abyss demon need a reason to hate the elves?" This was the first time Marquis Osiris spoke after he came to the ruins of the Tower of the Sun. His tone was as hard as ice, but his eyes were deliberately avoiding the direction where he could look directly at the elf queen. "Green Leaf Singer, the king capital of the Kingdom of Arthur, Fermeyer, has been captured by an army of demons, and the commander in command of that army of demons is the daughter of the Burning Dragon King Dariga—Sera Farna, the morning star of the abyss."

"The Burning Dragon King actually turned to the abyssal demon?" The news surprised the members of the elf royal court, and the chanting of mercy was the first to express objection, "I'm afraid it's impossible, Crown Prince Lothien, maybe it's just a demon The lies they spread."

"There is nothing impossible." Mr. Dish shrugged and said, "The short-distance teleportation technique used by the Burning Dragon King just now - flame jump - is a trick often played by demon nobles, and that magic is used from the core. Abyssal language is constructed, and if you want to use other forces to get twice the result with half the effort, I am afraid that there will be no existence other than the abyssal demons to study and use it."

A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the Green Leaf Chanter, "That's true." He quickly nodded and admitted, "There is a disgusting aura in that magic, and the pure power of fire also belongs to the natural category, and there will be no such thing Feel."

"The abyss demons... have been infiltrating the Moon Whisper Forest for a long time. We don't even know when the Sun Chanter and the Great Elder were corrupted by the darkness, and how many things they did that harmed the interests of the elf kingdom." The elf queen spoke the obvious conclusion in a calm voice, looking at Marquis Osiris with sad eyes, and the latter immediately turned his head to the other side.

"We used to tightly close the passage of the Moon Whisper Forest to the outside world, thinking that in this way we could live in safety and isolation from the world. However, the darkness never stopped approaching because of our retreat. The elves must stand up now , and fight side by side with the allies from thousands of years ago, and jointly start a war against the demons of the abyss!"

The Elf Queen's voice stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of the members of the royal court, and the chief of the wild bears, Bill Dabas, was the first to stand up and slapped the pair of fat bear paws vigorously. "Your Majesty, you are so right! Beat those stinking devil bastards hard!"

The centaur leader Miha Baimane stood up, the wild elf elder Dinin Dagna stood up with a shameful expression on his face, the ancient tree elder Moni and the flower fairy Lori Jier also stood up.More and more members of the royal court are raising their arms and shouting in support of the Elf Queen's decision.

However, the voices of opposition still exist, especially those high elf elders who are used to living a peaceful life. The Sun Chanter and the Great Elder have instilled too many wrong ideas in them. The strength made them look at each other in dismay, feeling uneasy.

"It's really stupid." Uniken Fizeld spat towards his feet, with a mocking smile on his lips, "The war has already begun! Elders, the abyssal demons have not left us a way to avoid war Chance!"

As if to prove the words of the war dancer master, a sharp and hoarse scream came from above, and then a bird with a whole body in black pierced the twilight like a sharp arrow, flapping its wings and flying.

"Smart mouth?" Li Wei blurted out in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?" The Griffin Lord said while stretching out his right arm towards the sky.

The big crow retracted its wings and landed on Li Wei's wrist with incomparable precision. As soon as its figure stood firm, it swung its head up and down, and then screamed sharply. "Information ahead, intelligence, the devil is coming, coming!"

Li Wei's complexion suddenly changed, "The devil is here?" He quickly untied the silver-white metal tube from the paw protruding from his clever mouth, took out the information inside and glanced at it, his eyes immediately showed shock. smell.

"Marquis Osiris, take a look at this." Li Wei handed the thin paper to the Elf Sky Knight, and the latter glanced at it quickly after taking it, and his expression became dignified. "It seems that Xia Lafei is right at all, the war has already begun."

"Your Excellency Levi Ston, could you please share the information about the movements of the abyssal demons with us as allies?" The Elf Queen raised her voice and asked.

"Of course there is no problem, Your Majesty the Elf Queen." Li Wei readily agreed, and then made a request. "However, I hope to see a map of Moonwhisper Forest, because I don't know how to describe the place names here."

The elf queen nodded in agreement, then waved her hand, and Samar, the head of the Silver Pegasus Knights, left quickly.It took him only a few minutes to turn back, a scroll of enchanted bark maps in his hand.

Levi took the map and spread it out on a huge flat rock, pressing the edges with stones.The members of the Kingdom Mission and the Elf King's Court all surrounded them, and all their gazes fell on the bark map.

"According to the news from Lilizui, the army of demons from Xifeng County suddenly launched an attack to the east, joined forces with the army of demons occupying the king's capital, Fermeyer, and captured the last fortress of Westwind County in the kingdom——Fort Kaidar. The lord of Dalburg, Sir Bandara, died together with the castle, and the orc tribe's governor, Carmos Bloody Fury, was seriously injured, leading the kingdom and the remnants of the orc coalition forces to retreat all the way, and now they have reached the edge of the Moonwhispering Forest, which is here." Levi Stern's finger moved from the bark map, pointing to a protruding place on the edge of the Moonwhispering Forest, where there was a small watchtower mark.

"Have arrived at the outpost of the Moonlight Glade?" Samar said in surprise, "There was no sign in advance, what did the Chifengniao reconnaissance team do?"

"According to the Sun Chanter's order, most of the Zhifeng Birds are monitoring the marksman team and the wild elf war dancer team." A silver Pegasus knight captain whispered. "The rest were all sent to keep an eye on Camp Aguero... where they were brutally attacked by demons with black wings - at least that's what the knapsacks said, and many knapsacks were beaten and hairless , can only stay in the lair to recuperate."

Samar glanced angrily at the big crow that was sitting on Li Wei's shoulder. I'm afraid this is a demon with black wings, right?But now is obviously not the time to be entangled in such details. Afterwards, Samar frowned deeply, lowered his head and looked at the map carefully.

"Moonglade... Alara, we must make a decision now, or it will be too late to even evacuate!"

　The recently updated rumor tells the past story of the Marquis of Osiris. It has explained the past of the elf crown prince who was forced to leave the Moon Whispering Forest. Please pay attention to it.
