The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Purification has no effect on the tree of life, and the holy water of light can only delay its withering. The situation of the elves is much more complicated than imagined. Although Tang Qiu sympathizes with the plight of the elves, she will not be able to help if she continues to stay What's busy.

Tang Qiu and Delphine proposed to leave, but were unexpectedly retained.

"Three days later, there will be a grand banquet in the clan. Take Karma to attend before leaving." After a period of recuperation, Delphine's complexion improved a lot, and I don't know if she has figured out something , The depression between the brows also faded a little, and the expression became a little more relaxed, "And, I just need a witness."

"witness?"

Delphine smiled and said softly, "I want to hold a guardian ceremony, and foreigners need to be present to witness it."

"It stands to reason that I should invite Faye, but you can do it instead."

Delphine blinked, with a playful smile, "We are friends, you won't disagree."

Tang Qiu pursed his lips and smiled softly, his sky blue eyes contained a touch of tenderness, "My honor."

Just staying for a few more days is nothing to her, and it just so happens that Karma hasn't played enough here yet.

Holding the Guardian Ceremony was a sudden decision made by Delphine. Although three days of free time were given, it still kept the elves busy for a while.

The Guardian Ceremony is an important ceremony of the elves after the two grand events of the elf queen's appointment and the birth of the next elf queen.

The elves are the darlings of nature. Although they are small in number, they are very united. The elf queen is the core of this race and the bond that binds them.

The importance of the Elf Queen to the Elf Clan is self-evident. Unlike other races, the Elf Queen is irreplaceable. She is not elected. Every Elf Queen will choose a member of the clan to be with her when the timing is about the same. Together they will give birth to the next Elf Queen.

The next elf queen has not yet been born, but the current elf queen died for some reason. This blow to the elves is no less than the withering of the tree of life. One is unlikely to cause the demise of the entire race.

More than 1000 years ago, the elf queen at that time hated the Holy See deeply, but it was only after giving birth to the next elf queen that she joined forces with the werewolves to launch a desperate counterattack against the Holy See.

The elves have a long lifespan. If there is no external reason, they are not in a hurry to give birth to the next elf queen. Delphine has just turned 200 years old. The reason for rushing to hold the guardian ceremony is because of her uneasiness.

Startu Continent seems to be calm, but in fact it is just an illusion. Delphine is not sure that she can protect the elves before the situation becomes more chaotic. Only when the next elf queen is bred can she have no worries.

She must protect the elves at all costs.

The elf queen's choice of a guardian is of extraordinary significance in the clan. The elves paid [-] attentions and began to prepare for various matters. Even Karma was affected by their serious attitude, and secretly followed a few Help behind the elf.

The number of elves is declining every year, and the guardian ceremony is of great significance, but because of the decrease in the number of people, it is difficult to have the grand occasion like before.

However, although the grand occasion is no longer, the gathering of elves is still very lively and warm.

The elves cleared out an open space and placed freshly picked fruits and long-preserved wine around the open space. A bonfire was burning in the center of the open space. The young elves held hands and danced joyfully beside the fire. The elves sat on the treetops and took out homemade instruments to play music for them.

The little elves were running around in the clearing, and Karma mingled quietly among them, the orange firelight shining on smiling faces.

Tang Qiu and Delphine sat side by side on the tree trunk, looking at the elves below with great interest. She has seen almost all races since she traveled to the Startu Continent. A good race.

Enthusiastic and optimistic, simple and harmonious, they are indeed the darlings of nature. If there are no things done by the Holy See, they can truly be called aloof from the world.

For such a beautiful race, Tang Qiu didn't want to have a regretful ending.

"Have you chosen the guardian yet?" Tang Qiu leaned against the tree trunk, glanced at several outstanding elves below, and asked curiously about Delphine.

Looking at the busyness of the elves these days, she already knew the meaning of the guardian ceremony.

Delphine held a light green branch in her hand, and she wore a wreath on her head. The bright moonlight shined on her body through the gap, covering her with a layer of silver gauze, so beautiful that she was not real. , she was looking at the clansmen below, and when she heard Tang Qiu's question, she frowned, shook her head and said, "Not yet."

"Oh?" Tang Qiu blinked, and said doubtfully, "Shouldn't it be decided in advance?"

Although the elves only need to use blood essence to breed offspring, it is about the next elf queen, and the guardian needs to be carefully selected and decided in advance.

"It's okay." Delphine turned her head and smiled at Tang Qiu. She shook the branch in her hand and said softly, "The Forest Goddess will choose a suitable candidate for me."

The birth and reproduction of elves are directly related to the forest goddess, so the forest goddess is the belief of the elves.

This twig was left by the forest goddess on the Stratu continent. Its main function is to engrave an exclusive contract for the elf queen and her guardian. Appropriate sprite.

Most of the previous elf queens used it to automatically select suitable guardians, because only in this way can they breed better offspring.

The night was still very long, and the elves hadn't been so lively for a long time. Delphine couldn't bear to interrupt them, so she simply raised the branches and chanted a few spells in a low voice. Starlight fell from the sky.

When the elf territory was brightly lit and singing and dancing, in a remote valley hundreds of miles away from the forest, dozens of dark elves each found a dark corner to close their eyes and take a nap in the cold night.

Patricia came to the deepest part of the valley alone. With her hands resting on her head and her back leaning against the mountain wall, she stared at the night through a narrow gap above the valley in a daze. Her long silver-gray hair was scattered on the ground. With a few dead leaves on it, the longbow, as black as ink, lay quietly by her hand, as lonely as her master.

The valley is narrow, and no matter how beautiful the night is, people in the valley cannot appreciate it. Just when Patricia thought that the night would still be boring and dull, suddenly there were dots of green light from above her head to Down and down.

The light spots fell on the ground, the cracked land slowly became moist, the yellow weeds revived their vitality, the barren valley was instantly covered with a layer of green plants, the vines wrapped around the withered tree trunks, and the colorful flowers added a touch of color to the valley .

Patricia sat up and frowned as she watched the changes around her. She raised her hand to catch the floating green light spot. The palm hanging by her side slowly tightened, and her nails almost hurt her palm.

The dark elves who were dozing off also noticed the abnormality in the valley. They gathered around Patricia, looking at the green light with complicated and tangled expressions, and several older dark elves got together to discuss in a low voice.

"Is this the call of the Elven Queen?"

"What happened in the clan?"

"...This summoning seems to be a guardian ritual."

"The queen wants to give birth to offspring?"

Although the dark elves have been expelled from the territory, their identity as elves has not been deprived. Even Delphine did not expect that the summoning of the elf queen is still effective for the dark elves.

Because the distance is too far, the dark elves can't distinguish the information contained in the green light spot in detail, so they can only guess according to common sense.

The dark elves gathered together and whispered together, Patricia, who had been drooping her eyes and remained silent, suddenly grabbed the black longbow in her hand, got up and strode away across the crowd.

The dark elves were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Two-thirds of the dark elves chose to follow Patricia.

The dark elves who did not leave the valley were all older, and they knew more about the inside story than the younger dark elves, so they did not resent Delphine who drove them out of the territory, but were full of worry.

It didn't take too much time to rush from the valley to the forest where the elves were. The dark elves entered the forest and jumped to the top of the tree, looking expressionlessly at the place with faint light green light, which once belonged to them.

Every dark elf grew up in the territory. When they were young, they enjoyed the love of the elf queen just like other elves, but this tolerance can only be maintained until they become adults. After they become adults...they are ruthlessly driven out .

They didn't do anything, just because they were dark elves, they were going to be abandoned.

The closer they got to the territory, the more complicated the mood of the dark elves was. The unwillingness and sourness made their cold eyes as cold as a dreary all year round stained with anger, especially when they saw the picture of the elves singing and dancing together, this feeling The anger rose to the extreme.

Anger was also ignited in Patricia's heart, but unlike other dark elves, her angry eyes were fixed on Delphine who was sitting on the tree trunk, chatting and laughing intimately with the blond bishop next to him.

She had met the blond bishop a few times, and Patricia had paid attention to him because Delphine made friends with her.

It is undeniable that the blond bishop's appearance is very good. Even among the beautiful elves, she is a very dazzling existence. Coupled with the bright atmosphere around her, she is kind and beautiful, regardless of her identity as the Holy See. , This type of person is the existence that the elves like to associate with the most.

It is not the beginning of the elves who have signed a guardian contract between the elf queen and the foreign race.

But that was a long time ago. Could it be that Delphine has taken a fancy to this blond bishop?

Patricia's eyes fixed on Delphine's face, watching her tenderness towards the blond bishop, her eyes gradually became darker, she pursed her lips and pressed the long hair behind her back. The bow was taken down, the bowstring was drawn to its fullest, and a long black arrow was slowly condensing.

As soon as the dark elves appeared, Delphine and Tang Qiu noticed it. They both turned their heads to look in their direction at the same time. There was a sudden sound of piercing through the air, and the long black arrow pierced through the space with endless murderous aura. Tang Qiufei came.

This murderous aura was coming towards her, Tang Qiu frowned, and was about to raise his staff and say a spell to intercept the long arrow, when a water shield suddenly appeared in front of her to protect her behind.

However, the long arrow pierced through the water shield almost without hindrance, and then continued to approach Tang Qiu. Delphine's face changed slightly, as if he did not expect Patricia's attack to use so much force this time.

Before the long arrow pierced into Tang Qiu's chest, she raised her hand and grabbed it. Her blond hair had turned white, and she played with the long arrow that had lost its strength with her slender fingers. Can it attract hate?"

This murderous aura seemed to be real.
