Chapter three hundred and fifty-fifth, the king forest
?"What?" Ryan has always been interested in the history of high elves, because the power of high elves is really powerful. Among the order forces, except for the servants of the ancient saints, the high elves are the strongest. The foundation of this race is not comparable to other races. Just like the team of Hols swordsman brought by Tigris, there are less than a hundred people, all of whom are legendary-level powerful people.
According to the fairy in the lake, there are nearly a thousand swordsmans of Hoss.
In addition, the Eternal Queen maid in the courtyard of Avalon and the Dragon Prince of Kaledo are all in a scale of thousands, and there are hundreds of Phoenix Guards in the Temple of Asuyan.
These armies are all legendary powerful men with established systems, and many of them are from the Holy Land.
Brittania relied on the Knights of the Holy Grail to shock the entire old world. About 300 legendary Holy Grail Knights had already made the empire next door drool. The strength of the high elves is really amazing.
Ryan was very interested. What made the Phoenix King Finnuba go from a navigator around the world to a Phoenix King who never leaves home? You should know that the high elf Phoenix King often fights in person, but the Eternal Queen generally doesn't leave home.
This year's Phoenix King and Eternal Queen have turned around, and the "Bright Light" Ellari sometimes goes on a war with Terion.
"Because... I told you earlier that Finnuba is an excellent diplomat and politician, but not an excellent warrior or mage, nor a qualified commander." The fairy in the lake raised her head, looked at Ryan's side face, and whispered: "Finnuba's strength is not even as strong as Sulia."
"Is there no strength?" Ryan even more strange: "Is no one protecting him?"
"The dark elves are dark elves. The witch king Malekis and the witch queen Moras are always planning how to assassinate the Phoenix King." The fairy in the lake gently stroked Ryan's chest and said in a warm voice: "Finnuba's strength is not enough to ensure that he can be safe and sound in the assassination of the dark elves, so he always hides in the Phoenix King Court, where there are powerful protection arrays built by the teachers of the Hoss White Tower and the protection of large groups of white lion guards. The assassins and summoning objects of the dark elves cannot sneak into the Phoenix King Court when the array takes effect. Finnuba's safety can be guaranteed."
"No wonder Finnuba gave the military power completely to Terion and Tigris." Ryan understood Finnuba's embarrassment.
The Phoenix King's military ability and personal bravery are not good. After becoming the Phoenix King, he can only do this.
Otherwise, his rule would be unstable.
"Lian, get stronger. Your personal strength is very important. Be prepared before the end of the end." The fairy in the lake leaned on Rian's shoulder and said quietly: "What is the end of you and me? It depends on how strong we are. If we can't survive the end of the end, then all great blueprints are empty talk."
Ryan nodded, strength is the foundation of everything.
"Do you feel uncomfortable these days? I've been staying here? I've been involved in your honeymoon with Sulia?" After saying this, the fairy in the lake quietly shifted the topic to what she wanted to know.
"After all, I am a man, and I have no objection to this. As for Sulia, I don't think she doesn't seem to have any objection." Ryan smiled bitterly and shook her head. The goddess was obviously testing.
Suliya can accept it and enjoy this kind of life. What ability does Ryan have to object?
"It seems that this period will continue~ Your honeymoon with Sulia is still two weeks away." The fairy in the lake got a satisfactory answer, and the goddess smiled like a flower: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. I originally arranged for the three of us to enjoy the moon together at this time. I have Asul's elf fruit flower tea here, which is good for the newcomers who are on their honeymoon."
"We can do this tomorrow."
"Then I'll make such an agreement." The fairy in the lake possessed Ryan's ear and said, "You, really, just say it if you like it. I've been wearing it for you to see it during this period."
"Uh~ OK."
The fairy in the lake kissed Ryan gently on the face: "This is the happiness of me, you, Suliya, and the three of us."
…………
Asoloren, Kinglin.
After a while of rushing, Tigris finally arrived at the King's Forest as he wished before Olean and Alaire walked into the fire and turned into ashes.
This is a magical land. Here, the roots of the era oak trees are densely covered with huge roots, and every inch of the land is surrounded by huge roots. The springs and animals and plants in the forest are singing. The sky is completely covered with huge trees, and the road is almost invisible. The ground is covered with smooth moss. A lot of juice will splash on the ground. Many high elves feel disgusted.
Wherever you see, there are forests, and layers of huge branches and green dark green cover all the sights of Tigris. Here, the giant trees that the eight people hugged are everywhere, deep enough to almost no end, and the wood elves race through the forest, playing,
The light was very dim, and only the faint light of the guide stone and forest spirit prevented the deep forest from falling into darkness. The group of people set off torches and advanced along a huge root towards the inside of the King's Forest.
Take a deep breath, and the deep cold moisture penetrates into the bone marrow. The high elves enjoy the richness of the magic wind while feeling the lives of their closest relatives.
Tigris said nothing. He was thinking in his heart that these compatriots were so stubborn that the orders of the Phoenix King could not allow these compatriots to return to Oshuan. The Esoloren Forest was indeed special. Due to the Oak Tree of Time, the entire forest was bathed in the wind of magic for a long time. Every grass and tree brought the power of magic and had its own consciousness.
After the war of long beards, dark elves split out among the high elves and fell into a desperate civil war. At that time, the Phoenix King Caradio ordered all the high elves colonists in the old and new worlds to return to Oshuan to fight against the dark elves' counterattack. However, the Esleys flatly rejected Caradio's orders. From this time, to the thousands of years between Finnuba's visit to Essoloren, the entire wood elves not only broke off diplomatic relations with the high elves, but also regarded all outsiders as enemies. There was a time when wood elves only existed in myths, legends and operas with humans.
The wood elves gave up farming and animal husbandry, took off their gorgeous clothes, put on their vines and grass, and only carried out fishing, hunting and gathering, and indulged in this life of living in harmony with the forest and self-sufficient.
It was not until after the founding of Brittany that the Knight Kingdom wanted to expand its territory, so it dealt with the wood elves. After the second Knight King "Reckless" Lewis succeeded to the throne, Brittany signed a contract of mutual help and non-aggression with the wood elves. Only the Brittans knew exactly the existence of the wood elves and could communicate.
"Who is Esley's trading partner now?" Tigris asked to Alaros in front of him.
"Only the Earl of Ryan." Alaros shook his head: "Esley only needs one trading partner, and the Earl of Ryan can meet our needs. That's enough. We have always only found a great noble trade in Brittany."
"Well, Ryan is a trustworthy person." Tigris continued: "And he will live a long life..."
"Will Count Ryan live a long life? Is this the intuition of His Excellency Tigris?" The prophet Liver quickly continued. Compared to Esley, who likes to talk and chat while walking, it is very uncomfortable for the high elves to speak very little along the way.
"He will live longer than many elves." Tigris continued, then closed his mouth and left a blank space for the wood elves to understand it themselves.
The normal lifespan of high elves and dark elves is about 800 to 1,000 years. Among them, the particularly powerful can extend their lifespan for thousands of years, but they will eventually die. Because the wood elves emphasize the concept of living in harmony with nature and coexisting with the forest, wood elves can often live for two or three thousand years.
"If this is the case, then we are very glad that there will be a long-lived trading partner. The last trading partner died at the age of 160. What a lucky guy." Liver took over the topic: "Is that? Alaros?"
"Ah? Well, yes, Count Ryan keeps his word. He offered a fair and affordable price, and he knows how to respect our **. He is a good trading partner." Alaros was thinking about how to make Lilith pay attention to him. After hearing Liver's words, he was stunned and then quickly added: "The veins in the forest were mined thousands of years ago, and we also need more wood and food."
"Wood..." Hols Magic Swordsman Zoltan looked at the countless towering trees in the forest, with your expression of teasing me.
"This is our agreement with the tree spirits, and the Esleys communicate with the forest spirits through the tree songs." Liver explained: "In Essoloren, each tree has its own independent soul. The tree king Dursu once taught us how to shape trees and collect a little wood without harming them. However, our bows and arrows require a lot of wood. At Lord Ryan, we can import a large amount of dwarf weapons and equipment and hardwood wood, ore, and food, which we need each other."
"Just need each other, your goods are unparalleled in the old world, and I worry that there will be some greedy intruders, such as monkeys, who come for profit under the banner of trade," Zoltan added.
The high elves can feel a very comfortable aura from Ryan, especially the Hoss Swordsman and the Magic Swordsman who are proficient in magical winds. They automatically deviate Ryan from the scope of human beings and regard it as an equal existence with themselves.
"We have eliminated five caravans that came under the banner of trade. Every time we will put a living person back and warn them not to approach the forest of Eslei!" Alaros's face was filled with deep contempt: "Eslei does not believe in human commitments, only Eslei takes the initiative to demand trade and does not passively accept it."
"Asul will also trade with Ryan Macardo. We have signed a trade contract with Duke Boderick, Duke François and Ryan. In the future, Asul's ocean caravan will be parked in the Manangan dock in Bordero and sell goods. If you want high elves' goods, you can pass Ryan's territory as a transit person." Tigris remembered something and continued.
“We will.”
He was talking again, but fortunately, King Lin was already in front of him.
The King of the Forest, Olean and the Queen of the Forest, Alaire, led a large group of wild cavalry, the Thorn Sisters and the army of wood elves, were already waiting for the arrival of Tigris and his fellow high elves in the King's Courtyard of the King's Forest.
The King of Forest Olein is a giant man with a combat power of more than three meters. He has two huge antlers on his head, a thick appearance, a top half of his body, and a simple fabric wrapped in his lower body. He hangs a "wild hunting horn" on his waist, holds a "Kunos Spear", wears an "Eisa Cloak", and carries a "Hawk's Claw" on his back, stands proudly surrounded by hundreds of wild cavalry and eternal guards.
The soul of the hunting god Kunos is filled with Olein's body, and he is the incarnation of Kunos walking in the mortal world.
The forest queen Alai'er has thin facial features and thinness. She is the standard beautiful wood elf appearance. She has twice the height of a normal wood elf. Her eyebrows are the tentacles of a moth, extending dozens of centimeters. Alai'er is wearing a wood elf silk satin dress, with a pair of huge butterfly wings behind her, flying in the air. As one of the most powerful mages in the world, she uses the "hairless elm staff" to release the power of the mother god Aisha. Alai can manipulate huge natural forces to act according to her wishes. She can command the trees in the forest to grow and plants emerge from the ground. Alai'er uses this ability to delay and mislead the invaders, or lure them to the road to destruction.
Tigris's understanding of Alaire was limited to hundreds of years ago. Under Alaire's order, Olean once expeditioned Nagaros through the roots of the Tree of World, beating the Witch King Malekis all over the ground for teething, but in the end, the Witch Queen Moras retreated the wood elves on the condition of teaching Alaire's dark magic.
The dark magic of the witch queen Moras amplified the evil face in Alai'er's soul, causing Alai'er to fall into extreme madness. Finally, Adanhu, one of the three ancient tree men, appeared and sacrificed himself to heal Alai'er, which restored Alai'er to calm down.
Kodile was corrupted and Adamhu died. Now the only three ancient tree people are left, Dursu, which has to be said to be extremely sad.
Now, the king of forests and couples who appeared in front of Tigris were in a weak state and strength, because their existence was already linked to Asoloren. In midsummer, their strength was as powerful as a true god. Once winter came, their strength would decline like withered trees.
"Tegris, the High Elves Safrehos White Tower Magician Council Supreme**, here representing all the elves of the Phoenix Court and Osun, bring greetings from His Majesty Finnuba to His Majesty Olean, the King of the Forest and His Queen Alaire." Tigeris leaned on a stick and lowered his head, expressing respect to the King of the Forest and his wife.
Tigris didn't wait for the answer he wanted.
"No, welcome!"
