Seven days later, in the Council of elders of the High Elves.
“What you are doing is against the will of the holy tree!”
Elder SINDONAR stood on a seat in the council of elders and slammed his hands angrily on the stone table in front of him. His cold gaze swept across the other four elders.
Three of the elders ignored elder Sindonar’s anger and chose to leave the council of elders.
The discussion ended with a huge difference of opinion. The only elder who remained was a friend of sindonar… the astrologer quitoan, who possessed the ability of prophecy among the High Elves.
“I don’t understand.”Elder Sindonar held the edge of the stone table, the strength was so great that cracks appeared on the stone table. “The holy tree has already expressed its will, ‘placing its hope on the forgotten one’, but the other elders are not moved at all!”
“SINDONAR… Sindonar, how old are you this year?”
The astrologer Quitoan walked around Sindonar and asked a question that seemed somewhat offensive to outsiders.
“One thousand and thirty-seven years old.”Elder Sindonar spoke of an age that was gradually approaching middle age among the high elves.
“I am three times your age.”The astrologer Quitoan spoke in a slow and calm tone. “The year I was born, Arthur Crow had yet to ascend into the sky.”
“Arthur Crowe did not ascend into the sky?”
Elder Sindonar was shocked. He had never heard of such a thing, not even a single high elf had heard of it.
In the minds of all High Elves, Arthur Crowe was a city that would forever float in the sky.
“Arthur Crowe’s past history is written by the blood of our race.”Astrologer quitoan extended his hand, and pale purple inscriptions appeared on it, he gestured for elder Sindonar to hold his hand. “You are already qualified to know the past.”
Without any hesitation, elder Sindonar directly held the astrologer’s hand. At that moment, the scene in front of him suddenly changed completely.
An unprecedentedly prosperous ascetic Crowe appeared in front of him.
“Three thousand years ago, a group of humans visited Ascetic Crowe. We followed the will of the holy tree and kindly accepted them. They also established a residence at the edge of our city.”Astrologer Quitoan’s voice echoed in elder Sindonar’s ears. “Their civilization’s development is beyond our imagination. The holy tree and we have put down our pride to exchange knowledge with those humans.”
Elder Sindonar’s eyes widened as he stared at the world from more than three thousand years ago. The scene before his eyes was not something that Nolan could achieve today. Those human mounts were not horses.., they were also magical machines that could fly high in the sky.
“But they brought disaster.”
When astrologer Quitoan said this, elder Sindonar suddenly took a step back because a large amount of gray fog rose from the ground. The ground split open in an instant and mud gushed out from the cracks.
The prosperous buildings of Arthur Crow were destroyed overnight… the last thing elder Sindonar could see was his own kind fleeing in all directions, brutally killed by a group of monsters that he could not name.
And everything that elder Sindonar saw was through the eyes of the astrologer quitoran.
He was a person who had experienced the disaster personally.
“Human? You’re saying that humans are the forgotten ones?”
Elder Sindonar held his head. The illusion in front of him suddenly disappeared, and there were many doubtful points that he still could not understand.
“That’s right. We once followed the will of the holy tree, but what we brought was that the holy tree was on the verge of withering, and our race was on the verge of extinction. SINDONAR, please remember that sentence now.”
“Don’t trust the blasphemer again.”
Elder SINDONAR muttered this sentence in the high elf language, but he was stunned for a moment before saying it again.
“But Arthur Crowe is facing a crisis, Quitoan! That forgotten person really has the ability to save Arthur Crowe!”
The moment elder Sindonar said this, the ground suddenly shook.
They all knew what the shaking meant. Arthur Crowe’s height had dropped again, and it wouldn’t be long before the sky city fell to the ground.
Elder sindonar stared at Quitoan… he slowly closed his eyes and said.
“My granddaughter has been away from home for more than a week, but her life force still hasn’t weakened. Is It related to the forgotten person you’re referring to?”
Elder Sindonar did not know how to answer.
This order came from the holy tree, which meant that the holy tree needed someone to serve it. Elder Sindonar sent an elf patrol team to the Hearthstone Tavern in the name of investigation.
In this week, three patrol teams had visited the Hearthstone Tavern. In the end, there were no more than three high elves who could walk out of the tavern.
Elder SINDONAR had always felt a knot in his heart when his own kind was imprisoned by an outsider.
“Prove it.”
Seeing elder Sindonar’s silence, astrologer Quitoan spoke again.
“Let that forgotten one prove to me that he has the ability to save Arthur Crow, and I’ll support you.”
..
“Do you still need to prove it? But it’s within my expectations.”
Joshua sat in the branch shop in the forgotten land and listened to Elder SINDONAR’s latest intelligence.
“Can you prove it now?”
Elder Sindonar had watched Tyreen’s concert live. The Frost Elf had only stood on the stage and sang a few songs, the power of faith that he had collected was probably thousands of times more than the power that the High Elves provided to the holy tree.
This was also the reason why elder Sindonar trusted Joshua so much. He knew that it was possible for Joshua to do so, but what made him hesitate was that there were no ‘worshippers’like Tyreen among the High Elves.
“The day after tomorrow. I’ll just make some arrangements. When the time comes, you can just call that elder over,”said Joshua.
“That astrologer can accurately determine the energy provided by any of our clansmen.”
Elder SINDONAR was using this method to tell Joshua to treat this matter with caution.
“I’ll let your holy tree eat its fill.”Joshua’s voice was very confident.
“Then… What about the candidates?”
Elder Sindonar asked tentatively. The principle of the Holy Tree’s energy acquisition was faith.
The soul of the High Elf was linked to the holy tree. In other words, as long as a human admired a high elf, that human’s faith would also be absorbed by the Holy Tree.
Therefore, it was very important to choose the High Elf who was ‘worshipped by humans’.
At this moment, many suitable candidates appeared in elder Sindonar’s mind. There were many High Elves with beautiful singing voices, as well as many charming girls.
“Al..”
Joshua clearly took off the name tag of the Apprentice Elf Priest.
“Who?”Elder Sindonar was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to hypnotize himself to mishear the name that Joshua listed.
“Al, I only know that her name is this. She’s the child who visited Nolan with you last time.”
Joshua repeated it again. This time, even if elder Sindonar pretended to be stupid, he could not fool Joshua.
“That child…”elder Sindonar pondered for a moment. He really could not find any words to describe al. .
“She’s a pretty good girl,”Joshua said.
“She’s really good. Al has the talent to be a priestess. It’s just that it’s a little difficult for humans to worship her.”Elder SINDONAR quickly advised Joshua not to take such a risk.
“It’s not difficult. There are already many humans interested in Al on the magic web. All I have to do is to push her.”
“There are already many humans? are those humans really… normal people?”
Elder Sindonar looked at Joshua in disbelief. His expression was as if he was questioning, “Are there really nothing wrong with those humans’heads?”.
“There are actually quite a lot of reasons for humans to worship another person. They don’t have to be beautiful and have nice words, even though AL has both,”Joshua explained.
Elder Sindonar saw that Joshua was so supportive of Al, so he did not intend to comment further on this matter.
“Are the high elves living in the Hearthstone Tavern doing well?”Elder Sindonar asked the last question before he left.
“I can only describe it as too comfortable. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the holy tree,”said Jose.
