Encyclopedia of Feanor Continent

There has always been an inexplicable superstition among the folks about "prophecy", as if prophets can know everything in advance. In fact, there has never been any magic that can accurately predict the future. It can be said that the difference of any insignificant little person may change the entire continent. fate.

Many swindlers and liars claim to be able to predict the future, but there is a notable feature of the swindler's tricks, that is, most of the predictions they give are vague and ambiguous, and they can only be interpreted with some far-fetched explanations after things actually happen. Things slipped into prophecies, giving the illusion that "the prophecy said this would happen", and they never gave a useful warning before things actually happened. -- "Encyclopedia of Fei Nuo Continent - Magic"

Avandell went straight into the library and didn't see anyone for several days. He read the mountains of materials every day, wrote and drew on paper and calculated. He didn't even remember to eat. Palos would always press the order When the food was delivered, I watched Evandel continue to read the information while biting the barbecue pie, and had to be careful not to drink the ink as juice absent-mindedly.

Every night, he has to supervise Avandel to go to bed on time, otherwise the mage would not know to rest at all. Of course, most of the time, Avandel would only reply to his urging: "Wait a little longer."

Palos didn't bother him, quietly flipped through the books written in the common language, and stayed up late with him.

With Palos waiting by his side, Avondel, who was always up all night, was embarrassed to be so devoted, and usually put down the book and went to sleep after another hour or two.

After these days lasted for several days, Evandel finally walked out of the library and went to see Arland, the Elf King.

"According to my calculations, the day is not only shortening, but also getting faster and faster. If this law continues, the day will be shortened by another hour after 20 years, and another hour will be shortened after another five years. 40 Within a year, Sharma's 'night will come' will become a reality."

"40 years..." Elf King Arland frowned deeply. For some humans, this is almost as long as their lifetime, but for elves, this is not a long time. "Has Sharma left anything to deal with this catastrophe?"

"If she has a way to deal with it, she will definitely tell everyone to ensure that the news can be passed down. She loves this world and wants to protect it at all costs. It is impossible to just sit back and watch it perish, but she did not Leaving only a few words, she only told me to 'try my best' to save the world, which shows that she has no other way." Evandel said solemnly, "The catastrophe will not wait until that day to suddenly appear, as the days become shorter and shorter, The climate will become colder and colder, and the crops on the fields reclaimed by humans will die in large numbers, followed by famine and turmoil, and the forest will lose its vitality. It is impossible for the elves to live in peace, you have to do something What, Your Majesty Arlande."

Arland nodded: "I will investigate more information and try my best to find a solution."

"I suspect that the church is also involved. This time they went to the underground ruins to steal the 'Resurrection Ball'. It doesn't seem like an accidental incident. Later, a Templar's words also confirmed my guess. The church tried to To launch a natural disaster of the undead, and the prophecy also mentioned that 'the dead will replace the living as the master of the world', we must first figure out whether this doomsday catastrophe is related to the church."

"You still want the elves to declare war on the church. I understand your hatred for the church. I hate them no less than you. But at this juncture, fighting the church is obviously not the solution to the problem." Arland He didn't say anything dead, "If you can find evidence that the church is the culprit that caused the catastrophe, or persuade more forces to join the conquest of the church, I will reconsider."

"I understand." Evandel nodded. Arland's weariness of the war exceeded his expectations, and getting such a promise is already a relatively good result.

As soon as Alkai came out of his room, he saw several young elves surrounding him, and the one with a scar on his upper lip called him: "Hey, Alkai, it's me, Dis, do you still remember me?" ?”

Although decades have passed, Alkai can still recognize the face he doesn't want to see at a glance. Back then, Diss always took the lead in bullying and insulting him, until one day he was stoned by the unbearable Alkai. Lost a front tooth, and then Diss went to the parents to sue, and then Kenathes abandoned Alkai in the depths of the forest.

Now, these brats from back then came to the door and blocked Alkai, pushing each other and not knowing what to do. Alkai just looked at them blankly and didn't speak.

In the end, Diss, who was still the leader, scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said reluctantly: "We were ignorant back then, we shouldn't call you a 'bastard', let alone insult your mother in front of you, you know We all regret what happened to you later, and I hope you can forgive us for our ignorance back then."

After a while of silence that made Diss and others feel awkward, Alkai said indifferently: "Is it finished?"

"Uh... it's over."

"Step aside."

"..."

Under the gaze of those red eyes that seemed to have no warmth, Diss and the others could only back away resentfully. After Arkai passed them and walked away, the young elf complained dissatisfiedly: "What kind of attitude is that? Hey!" Unfortunately, I wanted to apologize to him before the coming-of-age ceremony, and he responded to my kindness like this? I'm so mad!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, he has always been such an unpleasant character, and it hasn't changed at all."

"That is, we are all civilized and polite elves. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. You still have a lot of things to prepare for your coming-of-age ceremony. Let's go."

-

Diss' coming-of-age ceremony is only half a month earlier than Alkai's. According to tradition, he will go hunting alone in the forest the day before the coming-of-age ceremony, but Arland attaches great importance to the safety of these young people, and Kenathes also hopes to be familiar with them. As soon as he touched the terrain and prepared for Alkai's hunt, he personally took two of his men to protect him nearby.

Several of Diss' friends also followed enthusiastically. In order to at least follow the tradition in form, these onlookers would not directly participate in the hunting, but followed Diss from a distance of more than ten meters, chatting and laughing, as if a Happy autumn outing.

Kenathes warned them that they are now out of the defense range of Moonbrook City, and they should be careful of the dangers around them. The young elves restrained themselves for a while, but not long after, they reverted to their old ways and started chasing and fighting in the forest.

Suddenly, Diss in front of him let out a scream, and Kenaseth hurriedly led his men to catch up. He saw that Diss accidentally stepped into a trap made of silk threads by forest spiders, and one of his feet was covered by the tough spider silk. He was tightly entangled, and his struggle had already attracted a big spider that set a trap. The spider, which was as tall as a man, opened its fangs and rushed towards the helpless elf.

"Don't panic, don't move!" Kenathes warned loudly, while bending his bow and nodding an arrow, he shot the big spider in the head.

The forest spider made a creaking sound and struggled. This giant insect with a simple mind and well-developed limbs would not die immediately even if it was shot through the head, but its body had lost its coordination and no longer posed a threat.

The dying spider stepped on Diss, and the young elf was stabbed by those long hairy legs, watching the spider's huge mouthparts opening and closing less than one meter away from him. Keeping his senses, he screamed with a pale face, and desperately tried to pull his feet out of this terrible situation, only to make himself more tightly entangled in the spider web.

Kenathes was very anxious. The forest spider would not act alone. If there was one in front of her eyes, it meant that there might be a large group nearby. She lifted the dying big spider and cut the spider's thread stuck to Diss as quickly as possible. , Calling his subordinates to take those children and leave here immediately.

But what she was most worried about happened. Their movements attracted the spiders, and one after another big spiders appeared in their sight. While protecting the half-grown children from retreating, her two men shot arrows to block the spiders' attack. But if they didn't hit the head with an arrow like she did just now, the arrows they shot would be nothing more than a small trouble for these huge insects as tall as a person.

A spider suddenly jumped down from the tree and bit the shoulder of one of the elf warriors. No matter how hard the elf warrior struggled, he couldn't escape from the spider's jaws. Kenathes quickly drew out his long knife and rushed over. With the momentum of running, it pierced the spider's flexible abdomen with a knife, and with a sharp stroke of the long knife, it cut a big hole in the round belly. The seriously injured spider finally let go of the prey in its mouth, but the unlucky one The elf in his body had been paralyzed by the spider's venom, and was as stiff as a freshly dead corpse.

A few friends opened the way ahead, and the stronger Diss ran in the same direction as he was carrying the immobile elf warrior on his back. He only wished he could grow two more legs, but the young elf leading the way didn't pay attention. He stepped on the ground and rolled down a slope. The people behind couldn't catch up and rolled down one by one into a big pit at the bottom of the slope.

Diss, who was stunned, looked up and saw that the pit was densely packed with spider silk. A huge female spider was lying in the middle of the spider silk, surrounded by several nests of spider eggs that had just been laid.

No one thought that there was such a danger lurking in this familiar hunting ground. The broken Kenathes shot all the arrows in the quiver and killed four spiders with a long knife. When he chased after him panting, he saw that his subordinates and children had been bound into cocoons by the swarming spiders.

They won't die quickly, they will just sleep under the paralysis of the venom until they are slowly eaten by the newly hatched little spiders. If Kenathes has time to rush back to rescue soldiers, maybe they can save a few people, but ten Several forest spiders have surrounded her.
