Chapter 2845 Inside and Outside the Door
[Present, Sixth Era, 1854, late autumn. The cold night wind blows through the treetops. In this season when winter is approaching, the giant trees rustle under the stars, mixed with the horns of the ancient races to regroup. The collapse of the kingdom is a legend from thousands of years ago, and the contract between the ancient gods and the Elf King has long become a mottled myth. Now the saplings are still young, but they have already drawn their swords and crowns, ready to open a new chapter. The foreigner who is cared about and missed, do you regret leading her into the torrent of fate? When the final choice comes, are you willing to put the crown on her with your own hands? ]
"Your words sound strange, but I will protect Emilia. Were you hinting at something?"
Shade's eyes reflected Emilia's figure wearing a wreath and receiving blessings. Only Emilia knew that her ability to answer fluently was not due to her confidence, but because Shade had discussed this topic with her in a small corner of the library not long ago. She was ready for him.
After the blessing ceremony, Mother-in-law Qisala was very satisfied with what happened tonight:
"Emilia, this time the elf clans have also sent their own representatives to come to Vista Forest to assist the Orthodox Church in dealing with the trouble. The unicorns below are brought by everyone. I know you have your own plans, but if you need help, all the elves will help you."
"I understand, mother-in-law, I will prove myself."
Emilia nodded slightly, carefully put the crown back in her hands, and praised herself in her heart for her good performance.
Afterwards, Miss Danister had a few more words with these old elves from different forces. The elves also knew that this time she would be the only one assisting Emilia, so everyone was relieved.
However, Miss Danister did not talk for too long, and left with Shade and Emilia. During this time, Shade did not say a word. Mother-in-law Qisala asked him to come just to witness this matter. After all, the crown theoretically still belonged to Shade.
After the group of three left, the elves from the Frostscar Clan, Wind Chaser Clan, Golden Core Clan and Flower Speaker Clan who still believed in the Tree Father among the nine elven clans all began to praise Emilia of Yuexi, saying that although she was young, she was indeed unique.
Some of them also talked about the young man who came with Miss Danister, and they admired that the young human was able to blend into the forest like an elf.
It was not until this moment that the representative of the Longleaf Elves, the old elf who looked even older than Grandma Qisara, finally asked:
"Qisara, who is the young man following Professor Danister?"
Mother-in-law Qisala replied:
"Didn't I tell you? He is Professor Danister's student. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be the next librarian of St. Byron's."
The old elf who was just called "Grandma Tirenus" by Miss Danister said very cautiously:
"I saw pure moonlight in him."
The mainstream beliefs of the elves are roughly divided into two branches, namely the Tree Father and the Moon God, so some people also use "Tree Elves" and "Moon Elves" to divide them. But that was a thing of the ancient times, and now the elves are not so different.
The "Longleaf Elves" and the "Nightsong Elves" are both elven clans that believe in the ancient moon god. Even the half-elf bloodline of Miss Brienne Orlanod, the first librarian of Saint Byrons, comes from the Longleaf Elves.
It wasn't just Granny Tirenas who noticed this. After some hesitation, the former owner of this cluster of tree houses, the old elf from the Night Song Clan, also nodded:
"Yes, I also saw pure moonlight on him. The halo even seemed to be connected to fire. It's really strange. Qisala, do you know his specific origins? I have never heard of such a young man in Saint Byrons before."
Of course the old elf would not tell the truth. She shook her head:
"That's Professor Danister's student. I can't ask too much. But Emilia has a pretty good relationship with him. This time when Emilia is out on the move, Professor Danister and that young man are working together to protect her safety."
"I see. Although they are not elves, the moon and the tree seem to be a good match."
But someone raised a new question. They were the elves of the Storm Chaser clan. Miss Danister's elven bloodline came from them:
"If I'm not mistaken, that young man has the blessing of time, right? Qisala, I don't care about the moon, but what is the relationship between that young man, the tree, and time? There were elves among his ancestors. Is his bloodline reverting to his ancestral lineage? I think he looks very handsome. Or is he also a candidate this time?"
"He is not a candidate. As for his origins, they are probably more noble than those of an elf."
The clan representatives had different expressions, but no one commented on this sentence, because the blessing power in Xiade was real.
The elderly elf grandmother Qisala then looked at everyone in the room:
"You just need to know that Emilia will be fine with him. With his help, Emilia will become the successor of the tree father and become the new big tree. Isn't this what we all hope for?"
(Little Mia is running.)
Of course, Shad didn't know about the discussion behind him. After the three of them left the camp, they got on the Chocobos that were surrounded by the unicorns. After they finally persuaded the unicorns to "release" the Chocobos, they rode them back to the city.
When we returned to the third floor of the Accordion Inn, it had become quite lively. In addition to Granny Cassandra, the four great witches currently in the Vesta Forest had all gathered there, even Luvia had come. She looked like she had a good afternoon nap and no longer looked frail.
Instead of gathering together to discuss serious topics, everyone, including Dorothy and Ajelina, stood in the living room of Flora's room, pointing and commenting on the five paintings exhibited in a circle.
There is a moonlight wheel thrown from the concert hall's clock tower, a trio dance across time at Collins Manor, a unicorn knight in the coffin's subspace, a moonlight dragon above the Vestal Woods, and a silver wolf under the moon in the fire.
As they watched, Flora told the stories corresponding to the paintings, with a smile on her face that everyone could see. Carina was also there, but she crossed her left arm over her chest, looking quite disdainful, after all, she could see that this was Flora Winslet showing off.
But seeing that Shade had returned, Flora did not continue to display her work there. The maids cleaned up the living room to prepare for the meeting, and Miss Danister turned back to her room. She did not plan to attend the meeting of the Witch Council.
So Shade sent her back. Although it was only a few steps away, he still had to show his attitude. After avoiding the witch, the red-haired girl in the corridor glanced at Shade with her rose-red eyes, then sighed and said:
"Do you know what I did just now? I realized that I couldn't immediately tell how many people were there at a glance, so I counted them."
"This"
"I don't mean to dissuade you again, but wasn't that scene a bit too much? Don't tell me that there is someone there who has no affair with you. I bet that among those beautiful girls in maid skirts, there must be someone who has an unusual relationship with you."
“It’s like this.”
She shook her head violently, quickened her pace towards her room, opened the door and walked in without looking back. Just when Xia De thought that he would see the door closed, the red-haired girl turned around and asked:
"I'm really curious about how attractive you are. Those witches don't look easy to mess with."
"This story is a bit long, but anyway..."
He stopped talking not because he had nothing to say, but because the red lips touched him. Xia De stared at the rose-red eyes that were so close to him, but those eyes quickly went away:
"It's nothing special. I thought your kiss was special."
The girl inside the door said, then waved at him:
"Don't bother me after the meeting. I'm going to rest first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow"
The door closed, but Xia De did not leave immediately. Instead, he reached out and touched his lips, still a little dazed by what had just happened.
He was at a loss in the bright corridor, and in the dark living room separated by a door, the red-haired girl leaned her head against the door, her face blushing, unable to accept her own bold behavior.
“That’s amazing.”
A smiling voice came from the left. Shade turned around and saw Luvia. The fortune teller did not make fun of the previous scene anymore:
"I didn't expect so many things to happen here after I only slept for an afternoon. Actually, you don't have to go to Moon Bay to disturb Bella in the afternoon. You can just wake me up to do the divination."
"Just take a good rest. You will be busy next."
Shade shook his head:
"And after the meeting, won't you help me perform a ritual to make the power of 'Time's Return' take effect on me as well?"
The long sofa plus two short sofas could only seat five people if they squeezed together, so the maids prepared comfortable cushioned chairs so that Shad and the girls could sit together around the coffee table in Flora's room.
The coffee table was piled with the current information about Vista Glade, as well as the current action plan compiled by Miss Bell. Maids such as Tifa and Miss Swift stood behind the witches with tea trays in their hands to serve them.
Although it was a meeting attended by so many people, Shade did not fill up the time with tedious opening remarks. After everyone sat down, he simply explained the plan of having Flora transform into Emilia tomorrow, and then using Emilia as "bait" to lure the [Tree Hole Association] into the trap.
No one else objected to this plan. Although those "speedsters" from the Tree Hole Association were quite troublesome, as long as they were prepared in advance, speed would not be a problem.
Of course, Shade also mentioned what happened when he and Miss Danister went to the academy camp just now. When Luvia heard that once Emilia became the eighth chosen one, it meant that the power of the elves could also become their own power, she seemed to be more concerned:
"But the elves are not needed for tomorrow's matter. This power should be used at the most appropriate time."
