Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 717 A Holiday for the Corellon Believers: The Forest Eucharist of the New Moon
Hill looked at Alessio. It seemed that none of Corellon's disciples recognized the forest lady.

He suddenly realized that this former elven god was actually believed by more half-elves, and she gradually evolved from a female human druid who was killed by a soldier of a human warlord to a human druid. The daughter of Sivanus and the goddess of love and beauty.

As for which one is true, outsiders can't be sure, but the pure blood elves are trying to prove that it is the first.

Although Melika absorbed the ranger as her believer during the turbulent years, from the lady of the forest to the god of the forest and the ranger, but this cannot deny the fact that she was promoted by the elven gods but followed Sivanus.

While the Elven-Father took the matter completely lightly, his followers and the pure-blood elves were not happy about it.

Especially pure blood elves.

When Melika became the first real half-elven divine power, they created a lot of rumors, but at that time, they had already lost their dominant position on the mainland, and the rumors never left Evermeet Island at all.

On the contrary, the elves, the goddess of love and beauty, may not deny that their charm can even attract the father of the oak tree at some point, so Melika's identity is more often regarded as the daughter of the father of the oak tree by default.

However, when Melika became the forest lady, she followed the guardian of the forest of the elf pantheon, the Lord of Leaf, Riliffin Lalefa, and the elves have always associated him with the Avandor kingdom where the pantheon is located. The huge oak tree in the center ties together.

This also resulted in the formation of a very friendly relationship between the Father of the Oak and the Lord of the Leaves, so Melikhai's change of position may have something to do with the communication between the two gods.

At that time, the elves were too disdainful towards Melika. With Lord Ye's quiet, contemplative but defensive character, it was normal to send the gods she liked to a place more suitable for her.

Hill felt that the elves like Toril clearly demanded that the elves get along with each other in harmony with the elves, and they violated the wish of the half-elves as true brothers and sisters. How dare they think that Merika is a traitor?
Corellon's priests and disciples have relatively nothing wrong with their indifference to Melikay. Although they never show reverence for Corellon, they definitely love Corellon sincerely.

The reason why he likes to gossip about him is because Corellon himself doesn't care, and he likes to add fuel and vinegar to it.

Hill felt they were even more displeased with the fact that Melikai was the daughter of the God of Love and Beauty.

After all, Corellon's Queen is a trinity of goddesses, and the Goddess of Love and Beauty is one of the three goddesses who make up the Queen.

Although the Goddess of Love and Beauty existed independently and had no direct relationship with Corellon, and even had many lovers, many people in Toril always felt that she was one-third of the Queen of God.

The more detailed it is, the worse it sounds.

It's useless for the elves to explain, so although the trinity goddess Angress protects all aspects of the elves, her followers are really very few.There weren't even as many priests as there were demigod sons she had with Corellon.

Most of them were the independent priests of the three goddesses who conveniently added some offerings to her, but this should be more in line with Corellon's wishes. He no longer wanted a powerful queen like Rose to appear.

And Angress is only a suitable elf queen, not one he loves, so Corellon has never shown that he attaches great importance to this queen, let alone sent out the leader of his Seraph as he did to Rose. one.

Over the past few hundred years, the elves have basically downplayed the Trinity Goddess, and Corellon often existed independently in their narratives.

It is also because of this that Corellon's priests always have this kind of expression of rejection for Melikai, who is proclaimed to be the daughter of the elven goddess of love and beauty, Hanali Celaniel, and will not show hostility towards her. But I don't want to mention it either.

The happy Liz interrupted Hill's thoughts. She decided to tell the captain about the seed bag. If the Supreme Forest could be purified, or even just the area near the Star Mountain Range, the elves, at least the elves of their Star Mountain Range , and more or less can be forgiven by some tree people's ancestors.

For the elves who have always had a harmonious relationship with the tree people, the cold relationship over the years is really uncomfortable, but it is indeed the fault of their own race, but it is difficult to even make up for it, because the opening of the gate of hell is too delicate , no one can close it.

But before leaving, Liz rushed into a vine house in the orchard.

This house is really ingeniously made. It uses the layers of leaves of several kinds of climbing vine fruits, and it is a bit visually interlaced. On the surface, it looks like a slanted shelf covered with plants, but Hill didn't notice it just now. It was actually a cottage.

Well, Hill comforted his dissatisfied heart with his lameness: it is a visual art created by an artist, and it is normal not to see it.

I couldn't help biting my cheek, but Hill couldn't accept this kind of comfort at all. Alessio is an artist, but he is still engaged in civil engineering~
He was just stunned by the delicious fruit, and he didn't pay attention to the environment at all!
Especially after seeing the real tea leaves, Hill's mood has been a little messed up.

That should be the Longjing tea that had been passed down in Faerun Continent. He had only seen the finished product, and this was the first time he had seen the plant.

A dozen or so dwarf shrubs stood spiritedly in a corner of the orchard. They could only be planted alone, not attached to some big trees. Hill saw them almost at a glance.

In fact, there are tea gardens in his hometown, but they like to make strong tea in that place, which is very bitter.

Hill didn't like drinking tea since he was a child. Even after he learned that green tea can be brewed with a few sticks, he couldn't drink it anymore.

But now he is trying to recall that there are several steps in the roasting process of tea.

Tightening the strings of his negligent spirit, Hill smiled and greeted Liz who came out with a huge box.

Lynn's mother probably couldn't restrain her enthusiasm and planned to give away all her belongings.

Glancing at the orchard that was about to usher in a good harvest soon, Hill readily accepted Liz's generous gift. He didn't want to put any pressure on this enthusiastic lady because of his behavior.

But those seeds were what he had prepared to give to the defenders of the Star Mountain Range, and only the seed bag was the reward for Lin En's parents' hospitality.

In fact, this was already the lowest level of gift that Hill could offer. It was okay to sell the rest of the hands-on items, but he couldn’t accept them as gifts for friends he recognized.

Even if others don't know, Hill knows it himself. He doesn't like to perfuse his friends with things that can't even be said to be paid.

Although the seed bag is only at the legendary level, he did earnestly collect the materials and put in enough effort to make it. Such a thing is suitable for responding to Liz and Alessio's warm hospitality to him.

If we say that at the beginning, these two were just Lynn's parents, but since Alessio took him to the silverfish creek and taught Hill how to raise silverfish to multiply, Hill has already put them in his The status in my heart has been elevated to that of a friend.

Sincerity, of course, must be returned with sincerity.Alessio can obviously just give him some whitebait, at most he can ask Hill to ask him for it after eating, instead of teaching him all about the breeding methods.

Liz quickly jumped out of the orchard and rushed to the highest point of the mountain range.

Alessio whispered: "Liz has always been very grateful to the captain of the guard. He not only took us in, but also helped Liz change from a sea warrior to a scimitar warrior instead of just a ranger. .

If Liz wanted to, she could have changed her job to become a ranger, but she didn't agree with the style of ranger from the bottom of her heart, so we couldn't find a place to stay in the mainland after traveling for so long.

The elves on the mainland actually prefer to use long swords, and it is really rare to find a master who is so proficient in scimitars. "

Alessio looked at the peak, and suddenly said: "The captain of the guard will definitely go to the druid treeman over there to ask about the effect of your moss. If it is really useful, you should use it when you come back at night. A ceremony is held for Corellon."

Hill looked at Alessio in surprise, is this so important?
"It stands to reason that the Highest Forest should celebrate the Taoquil Festival every new moon, which is the forest sacrament brought to us by Corellon, and it is also the most common holiday celebration held by Corellon believers.

Most other festivals are held every few decades due to astronomical influences.

But the Star Mountain Range has never celebrated this festival since the great retreat of the elves.

The captain of the guard and the others didn't even have a formal meal except for the occasional fruit. They felt that they were not qualified.

The Star Mountain Range was able to survive the large-scale attack of the demons not because of their heroic fighting, but because it was the largest holy place in Corellon.

The protector would never allow the demons to get his hands on his place of worship.

But after getting your moss seeds, the captain of the guard might feel that Corellon forgave them for their inaction.

Especially, Hill, haven't you noticed?Today happens to be the day of the new moon.

And the elves all know that you have the blood of Corellon. For the sword of Evereska, it is Corellon telling them: I forgive you, you are eligible to eat the forest sacrament again. "

Hill blinked, looked up and saw several figures walking against the wind on the mountain peak, and rushed directly to the tree people's ancestral court. When Liz and the others went to watch the excitement, they seemed to run across the ground.

It seems that this matter is indeed very important to the captain of the guard.

In fact, Hill almost forgot that he still had such a label on him.In other words, he has been working hard to downplay the label, especially after the undead came.

After all, they didn't need to think about it to know who the Corellon blood on Hill came from.

Every time he thought of this, Hill felt his heart beating wildly.
