Chapter 2844 Elf King
The scene of the tree houses, fireflies and light balls flying under the moon, and unicorns walking in the woods is quite magical. Anyone who suddenly sees such a scene in the dense forest far away from the city will think that they have suddenly arrived in another world.
There seemed to be quite a lot of people coming from the three major academies this time. The lights were on in the tree houses, and there were also many ring mages in the ground camps, tending to the campfire, arranging tomorrow's action plan, or simply catching up with acquaintances.
The alert ceremony outside the elf camp did not react to the three people, so people just took a look at the three people who walked out of the forest. Emilia, who was holding three chocobos, was not surprised by the cluster of tree houses. Her hometown also had such scenery. She seemed more interested in the unicorns.
“Are these all St. Byrons’ unicorns?”
Shade asked her in a low voice. Emilia squinted her eyes and continued to move forward with Miss Danister. Although the three chocobos were very curious about this place, they still followed her obediently.
She looked at it for a while before shaking her head:
"No, I only know some of these unicorns. The others don't live in the academy."
Miss Danister temporarily used magic to transform herself back to her original appearance, but seeing her hurried steps, it was obvious that she was not willing to talk to more people. However, people passing by greeted her, and the librarian simply responded.
Shad also used a simple disguise. His current identity was Miss Danister's student. He just didn't want to associate his identity as a ring wizard with the famous detective of St. Teresa's Square, so he didn't show up with his real face.
Of course, Granny Kisara lived in a tree house on a tree, so she sent someone to greet the three of them.
After Miss Danister exchanged a few words with the leader of Saint Byrons, she saw the elf coming to greet the three of them. It was the middle-aged male elf who came to deliver the [Ocarina of Time] to Shade in Moon Bay. It seemed that Emilia was very afraid of him.
The three Chocobos were left in the ground camp, and they were immediately surrounded by the unicorns. This was a rule from the Fifth Age, when the witches went out to fight, the stronger mounts protected the weaker mounts, and this instinct was still passed down in the blood of the unicorns after thousands of years.
The middle-aged elf actually led the three people all the way up and finally arrived at the highest building in the center of the tree house camp.
This building is located in the core area of the entire camp, and the tree it is located on is also the tallest tree in the area. The wooden bridges and rope bridges surrounding the building connect the camp to various places. When Shade walked across the rope bridge and looked up at it, he could easily see that this was definitely not the house where the elves lived.
Rather than a house, this tent-shaped building, decorated with green and gold murals, is more like a "meeting room" or "conference hall." Because the Night Song Elves believe in the Moon God, the murals are mostly stories about the elves and the ancient Moon God, and the windows of the building are all crescent-shaped, which is rare in human society.
Although Shad didn't quite understand, Emilia obviously understood the meaning of this kind of building, and immediately became more nervous.
"Professor, Granny and the others are waiting for you inside."
The elf who led the way said, then looked at Shade, then at Emilia. After he walked away, Emilia whispered:
"This is my uncle. He is a very serious man."
There was a large circular platform outside the "meeting room". At this moment, torches were inserted on the edge of the platform for lighting. It was actually nice to stand here to enjoy the moon or the scenery. However, the other areas of the camp were very lively, but this place was empty.
"Don't look at me. I don't know what this is going to do."
The sorceress said to the two young men behind her, knocked on the door, pushed open the wooden door and walked in, followed closely by Shad and Emilia.
The interior area of the "Council Hall" is quite large, but there is no partitioning. Once you enter the door, you can see the whole picture. It seems to have served as both a "temple" and a "court hall", as can be seen from the murals on the ceiling, the silver-glowing religious prayers on the walls, and the rows of seats.
It was just that perhaps the Nightsong elves took away the holy emblem and the idol before leaving, so Shade did not see any religious objects for the time being.
The lighting in the room came from the crystal lamps on the walls. Shade had seen similar lamps more than once in the Fifth Era, but this was the first time in this era.
In such a large room, there are many people besides Grandma Qisara, or to be more precise, there are many elves.
Seeing Miss Danister push the door open, the elves who were originally talking in low voices turned their heads to look at the three people. Shade noticed that all the elves here appeared in groups of three, the leader must be an old elf, and the other two were middle-aged elves or slightly younger old elves.
He could clearly feel Emilia beside him tense up, while Miss Danister, who was walking in front, raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by the scene:
"Mr. Avisel, Mr. Kalest, Granny Hilyas, Granny Tirenus, why are you here too?" (Elf)
She called out the names of many elves in succession, and Granny Kisara came over and introduced them to Shade and Emilia:
"You are still young, so you probably don't know them. These are the elves from the Longleaf Clan, Nightsong Clan, Twilight Clan, Starflower Clan, Frostscar Clan, Wind Chaser Clan, Gold Core Clan, and Flower Speaker Clan."
Together with the "Moon Creek Clan" where Grandma Qisara and Emilia were, there were a total of nine different elven clans. The old elves who led these were all high-level elves. Although the highest level was still the twelfth ring, no one would doubt the fighting power of these "old guys".
"Hello."
Emilia greeted all the elders present rather stiffly, still using the Elvish language, and Shad simply nodded to them.
"Old friends, this is the child of our clan mentioned in the letter a few days ago, Emilia Sienord."
Granny Qisara introduced them to the elderly elves, and then gestured to Emilia:
"Take that out."
Emilia immediately reached for her right arm and took out the crown hidden on her arm and held it in her hand. The silver glimmer of the crown was still obvious even under the lights at night, and the thirteen gems dotted on the crown sparkled under the gaze of everyone.
The room suddenly became quiet as if it was cast under a silencing spell. Miss Danister and Shade retreated behind Emilia. Without anyone reminding her, Emilia mustered up the courage to say:
"This is the lost [Elven Kingship]. The crown is now in my custody."
Granny Qisala smiled with satisfaction, and then asked the other elves:
"Well, now you all believe it?"
The old elf in a green robe whom Shade didn't recognize adjusted his monocle. His white beard almost reached his knees.
"Qishala, it's not that we didn't believe you before, but we were worried unless we saw it with our own eyes."
He looked at Emilia carefully again:
"Although you are young, you look great. Don't be nervous, kid. Since the crown is in your hand, we all acknowledge that this treasure belongs to you."
He nodded slightly to the crown in Emilia's hand:
"But Qisara, this is no longer the distant Genesis. We are willing to gather together to witness the reappearance of the Elven Kingship, but if you want us to recognize her as the Elven King based on this crown, I'm afraid it is not enough."
This was also within the expectations of Grandma Qisara, or perhaps before Emilia came, these elderly elves should have already discussed the result, and this was just a formality:
"Emilia, in this era, our nine elven clans are the largest elven force in existence. If you can gain recognition from the nine clans, then you will be the Elf King of this era."
Miss Danister glanced at Shade, but Shade didn't understand what her look meant. Emilia, holding the crown, didn't know what to say, but she didn't hesitate at all when facing the next question from Mother-in-law Qisara.
"Emilia, the child of time born in Moon Creek, answer my question in front of the tree and the moon, and in front of many of your fellow tribesmen: Are you willing to become the Elf King?"
"willing!"
She looked at the old elves who were looking at her, her emerald eyes were very firm:
"I want to unite everyone, and then... together we can fight against the end of The Whispering Poems, the end of the Sixth Era."
Granny Qisala then asked the representatives of each clan:
"We specially asked Professor Danister to come here so that Saint Byron can witness and know our decision. It has been many years since we last gathered together. Now the epic of the Sixth Era has turned to the eighth chapter. Dragons, elves, blood-sucking species, ancient races like us are also forced or actively involved. So, it's time to make some changes -
According to what I said before, do you agree that if Emilia can become the heir of the Treefather and obtain this noble status, then she will be the contemporary Elf King!"
After a few seconds of silence—
"no problem."
"I admire this young girl's confidence. Not many young people can hold the crown and confidently say they want to be king."
"With the crown in hand and the recognition of the ancient gods, she is the Elf King no matter what era she is in."
"We are here to witness her trial. Elves will keep their promises and never go back on their word."
"It has never happened before that a young sapling can become a king. She needs a trial to help her grow."
"The world situation has changed too quickly in the past two years. It would be a good thing if you, Yuexi, could reunite the elves."
"We are the ones who respect tradition the most. As long as she survives the story of the Chosen One of Time, we will acknowledge her even if she doesn't become the Chosen One. After all, we still have to give young people room to grow."
"I just heard that she pulled out the 'Sword of Light' in Moon Bay? The young people nowadays are really amazing."
The eight major clans expressed their opinions one after another, and the Moon Creek Clan itself certainly had no objections. In this former gathering place of elves, the elders of the long-divided elf clans took out leaves or crescent-shaped jade stones and decorated them on the wreath held by Grandma Qisala.
So Emilia, who was not yet qualified to wear the certificate of royal authority in front of all the elves, lowered her head and put on the crown:
"This is the proof that you will soon become king. Emilia of Moon Creek, the story of the previous Elf King has long been lost in the dust of history. Fate has chosen you, and you have also chosen fate."
The old elf looked at his offspring, and saw that the little elf who seemed to have wet the bed yesterday could now shield others from the wind and rain:
"I look forward to the day when you become a tree."
