Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Spring has gone and summer has come, and now it is autumn.

Dacus sat on the steps of the throne under the Oak of Ages, but the throne had been moved away. The era of the couple had passed, and no one would sit there in the future, unless he and Marist had a daughter.

In the distance, the Aslai gathered around the table to hold the Senate meeting four times a year to discuss the next defense mission for the entire Aeselorren. Fendor, the forest lord from Windrich, became a member of the three-member council this year. He chose to sit in the seat where Dacus once sat and listened. In the eyes of the Aslai, the seat where Dacus once sat had incomparable significance, and perhaps this habit would be passed down.

Dacus did not choose to attend the meeting, but chose to listen from a distance. What he wanted was for the order he established to run normally, and the Aslai would solve the defense of Aeselorren.

"Are you sure?" He asked Liv, who was sitting next to him, while playing with the scepter in his hand.

"I'm sure. I want to go out and see the outside world." Liv responded without thinking.

"Okay." Daxus looked at Terra who was sitting in the seat. Athel Loren needed a prophet. Liv chose to step down, and Terra was the best replacement. After a moment, he nodded and agreed to Liv's choice. He could feel Liv's entanglement.

From a broad perspective, his arrival was inevitable. The old era ended and the new era came. Liv brought him into Athel Loren. But Liv's personal feelings could not accept Ariel's departure, so Liv chose to leave this land that made her sad.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" After another moment, Liv asked slowly.

"Go to the new world. The Emerald Garden needs manpower, the elves' agriculture needs to be developed, and the Oak of Time needs to be nourished."

"Okay!"

The Oak of Time needs to be nourished by Gillen and the Wind of Gur. This is inevitable in Daxus's view. He doesn't want to experience the death of the Oak of Time five hundred years later. In his plan, the Emerald Garden will be built in La Plata, as an institution and a landmark wonder. A Great Pyramid of Tepok will be built, where Kukulkan can be enshrined, a combination of lizardman and elf styles. A magnificent hall composed of trees and buildings, a huge garden for citizens to visit and play.

The world roots of the Oak of Ages will be connected to La Plata, absorbing the winds of Gillen and Gur from Aesiril. If necessary, this relatively stable world root can also be used as an emergency delivery channel.

Now, he has added another one. He plans to open a university there, an agricultural university serving the elves, as the origin of higher agricultural education. In the future, students and spellcasters from other places will go there to learn how to manipulate the winds of Gur and Gillen, and learn related agricultural and animal husbandry knowledge.

Therefore, the construction of the Emerald Garden needs manpower. Asanok has talked to him. He doesn't want to return to Lauren Loren, nor does he want to stay in Athel Loren. He wants to make some contributions to Daquus's career.

Dacus arranged Asanoak to assist Alyssa in the Emerald Garden. Asanoak was a warlock, but times had changed and he didn't care. Moreover, Lustria was his territory, his reserve, and he was the king there. He could do whatever he wanted. Now, Liv had joined in.

Then, there was another long silence, and Dacus stared at the scepter in his hand in a daze.

After leaving Tergovan, he first went to Anmier. There were several special places in that withered land. He came to the Mirror Pool of Isorien, which was closest to Tergovan, under the introduction of the two ladies, Delinna and Tavarria. A magical pond hidden in the hills, just like what he had experienced before, it was connected to the other world and belonged to the holy and secret place in Anmier.

The Asrai shaped the beech trees around the pond into a tall dome to support the gathering place, which stood on the leaves. Visitors who got lost in the endless maze of beech trunks might hear the ethereal singing of elves, with disturbing melodies. Adventurers who manage to find the Mirror Pool must pass the trial of the Watcher who guards the Mirror Pool, but this is not a problem for him. He is not an adventurer, he is the master of this forest.

In fact, there is nothing to see in the Mirror Pool of Isorien, it is just a pond, but he found something very interesting around the pond. The pond is surrounded by white flowers, and the vein structure has a silver reflective luster under the moonlight, which is easy to identify. The Asrai call it "Silver Leaf Tea".

The group returned to the gathering place and enjoyed the tea made by crushing and boiling the silver leaf tea, but he did not drink it. It was not that he did not like it, but that he could not drink it. There was something wrong with this tea. According to the running group, he would gain 1 point of madness after drinking it, and move towards becoming the true Chosen of Tzeentch.

But the elves with second vision will be fine after drinking it. Instead, they will get a certain navigation bonus in Athel Loren and can find a relatively safe path. It can also assist meditation and thinking. Of course, this is nothing. What is amazing is that powerful spellcasters can capture a faint trace of chaos corruption after drinking the tea.

He was a typical practical person. In his opinion, Silver Leaf Tea was a good thing. After all, the Slann Magic Priests said it was good after drinking it. How could he not be tempted? He decided to collect some and bring them back to the New World to give to those Slann Magic Priests and invite them to drink tea. Of course, the elves' spellcasters could also use it. In addition to helping with meditation, it could also resist chaos. Combined with the meteor compass found earlier, it was enough to give those cultists hiding in Naggaroth a good drink.

The Asurs also need silver leaf tea, the White Tower of Hoeth needs it, spellcasters need it, and the Hoeth Swordmasters who act as secret police also need it. When the tea party entered the second half, the Asurs and Aslai supplemented the terms of trade.

After a night's rest, Daquus came to Karl Kalond, yes, Karl Kalond. In his opinion, there is no difference between Anares Hall and Karl Kalond.

The forest around Anares Hall is mainly composed of beech trees and yew trees, the last essence of the entire withered land. This place is very weird. For Master Barto, this is a popular attraction. Master Barto believes that he will get the blessing of the goddess of the lake here and become a holy grail knight. In fact... it seems that there is no problem?

The Aslai of the other twelve lords sometimes come to Anares Hall for pilgrimage and admire the surrounding sacred yew forests. He was curious about a question before, that is, where was Bretonnia, who was taken away by the prophet and had a second vision, sent? There is always a process from a child to a prophetess. Lilith is not that evil, otherwise Lilith would be the Chaos God.

After arriving at the Anares Hall, he got the answer. Those children were sent here for training or safekeeping. Some children who could not become talents would be transferred to the depths of Athel Loren and become what he had seen at the banquet before. Some would return to Bretonnia after learning the entire magic system and become prophetesses who are superior to others. It was the first time he saw so many human children. In his opinion, this seemed to be no different from Karl Karonde?

The Anares Hall is very large, very large. The hall does not simply refer to a hall that can accommodate a large population. In the Fin-Elsalin language of Asrai, the hall refers to a settlement of a clan size. In addition to patrolling and fighting, the entire Asrai of Anmir usually gather here.

According to the route, he first came to a place 16 kilometers south of the Anares Hall, where there was a pool of enchanted water for divination. Occasionally, human girls were brought here for training and eventually became prophetesses of ladies.

Water insects skimming across the water surface stirred up ripples, wood spirits left ghostly lights, and the water around the white lily bushes was calm. A young human prophetess sat alone on a rock among the lilies, with her hands folded in meditation.

Lady Delina whispered to him that things were not as simple as he saw, nor as calm as he imagined. Children who come here for training usually have to search long distances through the pool, and accidents are easy to happen in the process. Some particularly beautiful or shrewd girls are dragged into the water by other jealous girls. Girls who are dragged into the water usually do not die, but live in another way, such as becoming river fairies to report to the Liushui Palace and become a part of the Serene court...

Darkius shrugged, indicating that it was normal. Not to mention women, some men are also jealous. Once jealousy arises, anything can be done and anything can happen. He did not have a heart of saintliness: asking Delina why she didn't care. Why should Asrai care? There is no reason to care. According to the standards of Nagaros, those children who become river fairies are undoubtedly weak.

In his opinion, Athel Loren is very dangerous, so dangerous that it is not a place for people to stay. To the left of the divination pool is a stranglewood. Most invaders and Master Bato will be warmly welcomed by the stranglewood after bypassing the rows of guide stones. Few invaders can survive the dangers of this dense and tangled forest. The sun cannot penetrate the canopy, making it impossible for invaders to distinguish the direction. They can only turn around in place, and then... Death thorns and strangleroots are learned.

Death thorns are not carnivorous plants, but this does not mean that this plant is not terrible. It uses thorns to spread seeds. The first sign of an attack is a violent rustling sound from nearby vegetation, which usually attracts animals to investigate potential prey or come to explore out of curiosity. Once the victim approaches close enough, the plant will release its thorn seeds, which will embed into the victim's body.

Of course, death thorns are nothing, there is no lethal dose. The real horror of the stranglewood is the strangleroot, which is why this forest is called the stranglewood. The roots will try to suffocate intruders sleeping on the ground, if the intruder does not notice that a root has slowly been wrapped around their neck...

In addition to these, there is a small clearing in the center of the stranglewood, where naughty human boys are sent as punishment, and sometimes naughty elf children and human girls are also sent here. This is the lair of Barty, and her bloated body can be seen from a long distance.

Bati will let several boys with extraordinary magical powers sleep forever in the cocoon of leaves to absorb the boys' magical energy. The twisted small trees surrounding the woodland vaguely present human forms. She cultivates soul essence through the magical energy of the boys to form a small army to protect the army of the stranglewood.

Darkius has no problem with what Barty is, because he has seen it in the other world, a woman with horns on her head, and her bloated body can rival that of Aunt Rose who can resist trees. Just as the Asrai believe, Barty is indeed a member of the Blueyd. The Asrai call Barty the guardian of lost children, but Barty's way of protecting children is different from that of the West Wind.

Many times things are similar, Aslai would also tell stories to children, warning them not to be naughty, and the villain in the story was Aunt Barty.

When he was in the other world, he had a few words with Barty, a typical extremist who advocated the expansion of Athel Loren and opposed the forest covenant with the elves, but Barty was speechless when he saw him and said that he would obey his orders in everything. He had no intention of meeting Barty in Athel Loren. After taking a look from a distance, he continued to go north.

There are two strange places in the north of the divination pool, but Dakuus did not go there. He came to investigate, not to take risks. He would take a look along the way, and there was no need to go there if it was not on the way.

Soon, he came to the House of Delina. There was no doubt that this was Delina's territory and part of the Anares Hall. The settlement was built along the stream, and the Asrai lived in the treetop houses. The Asrai who lived here were all spellcasters and members of the Kell-Aisha Neighborhood Gang. Many animals also lived here, and owls would take on the task of guarding at night. In addition to the Asrai and animals, human children also lived here and received training from the spellcasters.

He chose to rest in a colorful pavilion in the Bretonnian style. This pavilion was very particular and was called the Guest Pavilion. It was specially used to receive Bretonnians, but it was rarely used.

He enjoyed the elven bread made from flour ground from large nuts produced by beech trees. However, he found that although the bread was delicious, he could not eat it. This does not mean that the bread is too hard, so hard that it can escape from prison or kill people, but that it is too filling.

The bread in his hand was not very big, not a staple food, and he only ate one piece of bread for one meal. This is against the sky. During the march, supply and weight are a big problem. Perhaps this kind of large beech nuts will solve the problem well. Perhaps he should bring some seeds back and plant them in the Feibo Garden in La Plata. The quantity may not be enough to meet the supply of the entire army, but it is better to have it than not. It can be distributed to scouts or troops performing special tasks.

After a short rest, he came to the House of Tavarria again. In the middle of the open space stood an amphitheater with wooden benches, which was a place for study. It is a place where spellcasters teach elf children and students, and occasionally human children are invited to enter.

But this is not important. What is important is that not far from the amphitheater is a huge yew tree, a huge yew tree up to 120 meters high. The trunk of the huge yew tree is intertwined with stairs connecting the tree house to the lush garden terrace between the upper branches and leaves, and the suspension bridge connects the huge yew to other smaller family trees. This yew tree is the first gathering place of the Anares Hall. The hall is located below and is fully utilized.

This yew tree is also the core of his visit to Anmier. Who makes this tree so high? In his opinion, it is a pity for this tree to serve as an Asrai settlement. It should become the body of the forest spirit.

While it was still early, he went up and took a walk. There was a singing and dancing hall on the tree. This elegant book house served as a banquet hall for war dancers and a temple for Loik. He did not drink a glass of wine or watch the superb performance of the war dancers. After staying for a while, he continued to climb up. The garden terrace on the top is where vegetables are grown. The spellcaster will cultivate crops here. He can see the human boy constantly shuttling around the crops and taking care of them.

The treetops are vast and open, and the whole of Anmir is in full view. He can see the corruption and withering of Anmir, but fortunately it is not the kind of situation where everything is withering. The area where he came here from Tegovan is better, with no signs of corruption. According to the two, the energy of the sword ritual has restored the situation near the Tegovan area.

The corruption is mainly concentrated in the north. He saw the Ardavok Hall, the original settlement of Anmir. It was originally the place where Ardavok, a member of the Ancestors of the Old Far Society, took root. Now Ardavok has been corroded into a withered shell, and the shadow falls on the barren and lifeless soil.

Located on the left and right of Ardavok Hall are two small settlements close to the edge of the corrosion. It is like a pocket, waiting for the beastmen who smell the smell of corruption to drill into it, and then surround and annihilate it.

Finally, he gave the two ladies an idea. After the Lizardmen's military strength increased, they should build a buffer zone in the northern corroded area, and then set a big fire. Just like what he saw in Lauren Loren, he thought this was the best way. Burn it first, there is no better way to solve the problem than a big fire, and then perform ritual purification, and finally fill the tree in.

Originally, it was pure fantasy for Asrai to set fire in Athel Loren, but who made him appear?

As for Anmier's large settlement, it was chosen in the Anares Hall, located southeast of the House of Tavarria and the House of Delina. After Tal Sinan is activated, it will radiate these two houses. At that time, a settlement will be built with Tal Sinan as the center. A large number of small settlements will surround Tal Sinan, forming the real Anares Hall, the barrier of Athel Loren.

At night, he enjoyed a warm reception in the Yew Court, which is the hollow of the huge yew tree. This place is sacred to Asrai. It is the place where the two ladies talk to Asrai, and humans are not allowed to enter.

After leaving the Anares Hall, he did not go north. There was no way north. A huge rift separated Anmir and Celtis. If the large army wanted to reach Celtis from Anmir, they could only go through Phil Darrick.

After going down from Anmir where the terrain was relatively flat, it was the lair of the war dancers, the core of Phil Darrick, and the war dancer banquet hall.

War Dancers are the true guardians of the Wilderness Warband and Elven history, recording countless stories and legends in various visual arts, imparting knowledge to the Asrai who watch their performances. The Banquet Hall is where the family holds feasts and plays music, bringing joy to everyone in the form of elven culture, while also appreciating the glorious history of the race.

As the chosen one of Loik, he must have received a warm reception here. The one-stop service made him dizzy and he said he was happy and didn't want to think about the new world.

After staying for a few days, he continued to go north to Tyrses, but he did not go deep, nor did he go to the place where Dilandra usually stayed. He came to a place called the Eternal Moonlight Forest Clearing.

The clearing is located in the depths of the forest, surrounded by tall ancient trees. Each tree seems to have a history of thousands of years, with thick trunks and lush branches and leaves, covering the sky. However, in this clearing, the moonlight shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves seems unusually bright, as if the land itself is attracting the moon's brilliance.

This is a holy place, and the Asrai who worship Lilith guard this sacred open space. This is also Liv's lair. She stays here when she is not wandering around Athel Loren or taking care of the Twilight Sisters.

Dilandra, who is entrenched in Tyr's, cannot be affected by Tal Sinan, and the spirit needs to be nourished by the wind of magic. In the end, Arida chose to leave part of them in the Gray Hall, and the other part, and a large part of it, moved to the vicinity of Moonglade, and deployed Tal Sinan in the center of Moonglade.

After the arrangement was made, the team continued to set off, crossing the Grismeri River, crossing Agviron, crossing Alanlok, coming to the Gray Mountains, to the territory of the dwarves, and to the place they passed by at that time.

Dakwus, who has obtained a set of divine equipment, always needs to find a touchstone to practice, and the best practice object near Athel Loren is Gul, the Lord of Despair, one of the nine Lords of Death under Nagash. (End of this chapter)
