Long-lived races are always reluctant to change their usual way of life, so the elves follow the ancient traditions very stubbornly. Hunting occupies an extremely important position in the traditional culture of the elves, and many of their festivals are related to hunting. , such as a child's coming-of-age ceremony, New Year's or Autumn Hunting Festival, the elves' technology of making and using bows and arrows is unmatched, and many elves' handicrafts living among the people also express hunting-related content.

The resident army of the elves is very small, and most of the less important patrols and guarding tasks are carried out by the militia in turn. However, once any unwelcome forces invade their forest, the elves can turn all the people into soldiers at any time, because in the forest Hunting in the middle of the world is as common as going to the well to fetch water for the elves, regardless of men, women, or children. ——"Feino Continental Encyclopedia·Humanoid Creatures"

"Are you kidding?" Phils curled his lips, "Well, I can cooperate and pretend to be surprised by you."

Evandel didn't speak, just looked at him.

"It can't be true?" Fiers looked at Avondel, then at Dals, and then back at Avondel, "Impossible...my biological father should have been sacrificed to spiders long ago It’s right to be the queen of God, and it’s all fallen into the hands of the dark elves, how could he escape from the Undercity alive?”

"It was Evandel who saved me." Dales sighed and said, "I know it's a little hard to accept, and I didn't believe it was true at first, but it's obviously not something that can be explained by coincidence. There is a blood relationship."

"So?" Phils looked at Avondel blankly, "Suddenly a cheap daddy appeared, and then you are going to throw me away?"

Evandel said innocently: "I helped you find your family, how can it be called throwing you away?"

Fiers looked particularly aggrieved: "I thought you came here just to catch up with old friends, but I didn't expect you to leave me to others."

"Listen, child," Dals said, "I want you to stay because I have the responsibility to take care of and teach you, but I won't force you if you don't want to."

Phils immediately said firmly: "Of course I don't want to, who wants you to take care of and teach me!"

Evandel patted Dals on the shoulder: "You go away first, let me talk to him alone."

Dales sighed and went out.

"What else do you have to say?" Fiers said angrily, "I thought we should be friends after all, but you still wanted to get rid of me. I'm nothing to you. Is that redundant?"

Evandel said helplessly: "I want to give you a better choice just because I regard you as a friend."

"Is it a choice, not an order? Then I choose to go with you."

"Of course, the choice is up to you, but I hope you at least give it a try before making a decision, and don't just refuse." Evandel persuaded, "Dals was forced back then, and he didn't even know your birth, but he still If you want to be a father, you should give him a chance. None of us have been treated well by our parents, but at least you can have a chance to try family life. Maybe you will like it soon. Life in exile is also possible.”

"And what if I don't like this life at all?"

"I will pass by here after I return from Yuexi City. If you still want to follow me, we will set off together again."

"You can't lie to me this time, can you?" Fels, who had already been tricked by the mage, looked at him suspiciously.

"No." Evandel said, "If I just want to drive you away, I only need one sentence, there is no need to go to great lengths to lie to you, is there?"

"That's right." Phils slumped his shoulders gloomily.

-

In the end, Phils reluctantly stayed. When he was parting, he repeatedly confirmed whether Avondel would come back here. After getting a very positive answer, he watched them leave with resentment.

Dales asked two elves who were going to work in Moonbrook City to go with them. With a guide who was familiar with the local area, they crossed dozens of kilometers of forests and arrived in Moonbrook City in just two days.

Yuexi City, the capital of the elves with a history of tens of thousands of years, was at least not built on trees. When they reached the periphery of Yuexi City, they saw some very old ruins one after another. The plants have been devoured, and some stones can still be seen with exquisite patterns that have gone through years of wind and frost, silently telling the glory of this ancient elf empire.

The guards patrolling the perimeter had already spotted them, and Palos finally knew that his worries that the elves might attack them were completely unnecessary, not just the small tribe of Dals, it seemed that the elves in the entire Moon Creek Forest had taken Evandel As best friends.

Because Evandel is a mage, the attitude of human beings towards him may not be as respected as that of the elves. As Avandel's "follower", Palos also got a little bit of glory and enjoyed the highest level of hospitality. They were escorted into Yuexi City by two rows of neatly armored elf guards like a guard of honor.

The exquisiteness of the buildings in the new urban area of ​​Yuexi City is even more breathtaking. As a Templar who has lived in the holy city of Mikalan since he was a child, and grew up counting the full-wall reliefs and stained glass of the Cathedral of the God of Light, he is already very It's hard to find any buildings that can shock Palos, but this beautiful city with a style very different from human beings still makes him speechless.

The elves didn't even let them wait to be summoned, and sent them directly into the palace of Moonbrook City. In the main hall, the black-haired elf king Arlande stood up from his antler-shaped throne and walked down the steps step by step.

This elf king over 1.9 meters tall exudes the unique arrogance and elegance of the elves from head to toe. He doesn't look like a very easy-going person, but when he walked in front of Avandel, he showed a gentle look. Smile: "You are welcome, my friend. I heard that you have been treated unfairly by humans. Moon Creek City will be a haven for you to rest. If you are willing to live for a long time, we will be very honored."

"It's a pity that I have no intention of stopping yet, it would be nice to have a place where I can sleep peacefully for the time being." Evandel saluted him with the etiquette of the elves, "Thank you for your generosity and hospitality as always, Your Majesty Arlande. "

"Also, in order to enrich your writings, you always have to undertake unimaginable hardships." Elf King Arlande said, "You must have brought new manuscripts, and I look forward to recording the new knowledge you discover."

"Of course." Evandel took out his unbound encyclopedia manuscript from his bag, and Arland the Elf King solemnly took it with both hands, and handed it to the clerk beside him: "I will arrange people to sort it out as soon as possible. And seal copying."

Evandel nodded: "I can always rest assured that the original manuscript is handed over to you."

Arland looked at Palos who followed Evandel again, and under his gaze, Palos stood up straighter unconsciously.

"I can feel that you have the unique power of the Knights Templar. There is a deep hatred between my family and the Knights Templar, but since Evandel is willing to bring you by my side, I believe your personal character should be worthy of his trust."

Thinking of the Knights Templar's aggression against the elves during the Battle of the Guardians, Palos lowered his head in shame and said, "I will never be your enemy, Your Majesty Arlande."

Arland the Elf King nodded, and then looked at the elf ranger standing silently behind Avandel: "Arkay, I'm glad you've returned to Moonbrook City, I hope you have a bad memory here. Those unpleasant pasts have faded with the passage of time, and your mother must be very happy to see you back."

Even facing the Elf King, Alkai still had that expressionless attitude: "I didn't come to see her."

Arlande sighed slightly, and didn't say anything more. He called his entourage and asked them to take Avondel and his party to rest for a while, and planned to hold a formal banquet for them later.

-

Sitting next to Evandel, Palos watched one elf after another holding a wine glass and came to greet Evandel with words of blessing. The elves have different looks, but most of them are tall, handsome, elegant and charming , making Palos always feel a little ashamed.

Alkai also changed into the clothes that Evandel gave him, and tidied his hair a little bit. He looked very handsome today, but he just ate the food in front of him in silence. Even if an elf tried to talk to him, it was just He responded a few times symbolically, without expressing the slightest interest in the exchange, until the other party backed away tactfully.

Suddenly, the surrounding seemed to quiet down, and everyone stopped talking at the same time. Palos looked up in confusion. A beautiful elf lady was slowly walking down from the stone steps of the banquet hall. She wore a light blue dress. Embroidered with exquisite patterns, dotted with broken diamonds, as she moves, it reflects the light of stars. Her skin is as white as the first snow, and her long black hair hangs down smoothly like silk. Palos I couldn't find any words to describe her beauty. I didn't realize that I even forgot to breathe until I felt a tightness in my chest.

Evandel stood up and went forward, took her hand and touched her lips gently: "Princess Inelia, you are still so radiant."

"Mr. Evandel, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Compared with her father, Princess Inelia of Silver Brook City has no airs at all. After the other elves saluted her, they resumed their conversation, but Palos couldn't look away. He kept looking in that direction with complicated emotions. Nelia was used to other people's gazes, and she naturally took Evandel's hand and sat down on the bench: "Father didn't tell me you were here until he notified me to attend the banquet, I almost forgot to change my dress Just ran over."

"It's an honor." Evandel withdrew his hand calmly, but still smiled gently at the elf princess.
