Qin Lun looked up at the ancient hall he was in. Eighteen vine pillars that required three adult elves to hug him stood around the hall and converged on the dome of the hall.
The wide leaves of the world tree are filled between the rattan pillars. These leaves are emerald green and transparent. Under the sunlight, the dark green tendons inside the leaves are clearly visible, like a sliced picture of a pair of giant cells, which is highlighted in the vitality. Out of the vicissitudes of the years.
Compared with the meeting hall on the top floor of the Magic Cup Castle, this magnificent natural palace lacks the arrogance of looking down on the world, but has a natural and ancient breath of life.
This is the royal court of Yunzhong City. In the huge hall, apart from Qin Lun, there is also a silver-haired elf standing sideways to him. The elf's silver hair was tied into braids with a few simple silver ribbons, and it was scattered behind his head casually.
He stood by the window of the hall, looking at the floating clouds outside the heaven, seemingly unaware of Qin Lun's arrival. His shoulders were much wider than most moon elves, and he was slender, wearing a gold-rimmed robe with a silver moon embroidered on the back. Viewed from the side, the face is like a perfect sculpture carved with a knife and an axe, but there are a few traces left by the years between the eyebrows, obviously the age is not as young as it appears on the surface.
"Filar, if you were King Testir, would you let the Moon Elf tribe migrate to the Anker Forest?" After a while, the silver-haired elf finally sighed, turned around and looked at Qin Lun peacefully.
Qin Lun didn't expect the silver-haired elf to ask him such a question, but his face was still slightly taken aback, he pondered for a while, and then replied with a smile: "If I were King Testir, then when I first ascended the throne, They will seek reconciliation with the Jondas Kingdom. Even if it cannot be done, at least they should send people to investigate the intelligence of the major kingdoms on the mainland."
The eyes of the silver-haired elf flickered slightly, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Qin Lun's answer was somewhat irrelevant, but it was obviously an answer to his question.
King Testir's actions against the Jondal moon elves, judging from the king's skills, did not make many mistakes. Whether it was the Huairou policy in the early stage or the suppression of the Moon Elf tribe by the United Elders in the later stage, they were all wise moves. The reason why it didn't succeed was that Anke Forest pried a corner of the wall.
After the Moon Elf tribe decided to move, it didn't matter whether King Testir would let them go or not. At that time, the initiative had already changed hands. Even if King Testir intervened to the end, he couldn't win the hearts of the Moon Elves.
In the eyes of outsiders, King Testir just had bad luck, but if he hadn't ignored external factors and only focused on handling internal affairs, he would not have ignored the influence factors of Anker Forest and even the Sun Elf Mission.
"After our elves lost their hegemony on the mainland, many elves still indulge in the glory of the past, shrinking their heads like an ostrich in an increasingly narrow forest, and are unwilling to contact the more powerful and prosperous human beings." The face of the silver-haired elf There was a self-deprecating smile on the face, "I don't know that the sun and the moon are still turning, and they will not be diverted by their consciousness. Races that cannot adapt to the times will eventually be eliminated by the times."
"Many races that created splendid civilizations have disappeared in the long river of history, but we elves have lived in Faerun for tens of thousands of years. Maybe many elves just think that human beings with a short lifespan will only be a short-lived flower in the long river of history!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.
"What about you? Feral, what do you think?" the silver-haired elf asked with interest, his eyes lit up.
"I don't know if human beings are epiphyllums!" Qin Lun shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "I only know that if the elves don't make changes, they will soon withdraw from the stage of Faerun's history like dragons or giants."
"Is this your own conclusion?" The silver-haired elf nodded noncommittally, "You didn't waste your traveling career on the mainland these years!"
After a short pause, the silver-haired elf asked in a low voice, "Then do you think the plan of the sun elves to move to Yongju Island is feasible?"
"It's too conservative. Our elves are not so weak that we have to abandon the mainland of Faerun and retreat overseas." Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said carefully, "Humans are not an intelligent race that clings to each other. There has never been a lack of wars and conspiracies between them. Since in the age of elves, humans also gave birth to the Netheril Empire. Now, we can also coexist with humans."
The silver-haired elf finally showed undisguised admiration on his face, nodded with a smile and said: "Elder Adeline is right, you are a very good young man. Maybe I should let my few incompetent sons and daughters also Go on a tour of the mainland!"
"Your Majesty, you are too generous!" Qin Lun humbly half-bowed to salute.
King Tynquilas waved his hand, turned to look at the white clouds outside the window, and the room fell into silence. After a while, the Elf King took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, he turned his head and looked at Qin Lun with burning eyes.
"Filar, I have a task for you!"
Qin Lun frowned slightly. After arriving at the Anker Elf Court, Nicole had joined Stark and the others. However, what everyone didn't expect was that the fortress team actually lost personnel during the escort mission this time. One companion died and two people were seriously injured.
After questioning, Qin Lun and Nicole learned that the envoy led by Prince Corris was attacked by a large knight order from the Kingdom of Jondas while crossing the river. It is in line with the standards of school-level tasks.
Under the charge of the Knights, the three unlucky apostles were submerged under the iron hooves of the Knights before they could be rescued. One of them died on the spot, and although the other two recovered their lives, their intestines were rotten, and their injuries were so serious that they could not use recovery items. They had to use the team's precious equipment to send them back to the Broken Starry Sky.
Fortunately, this battle improved the mission evaluation instead, allowing the fortress team to gain more contribution points, but it did not cause the three unlucky proteins to sacrifice in vain.
At this time, the Fortress team has officially accepted the employment of Prince Mileras, and together with the Lost team, they will implement this major plot line. As a member of the fortress team, Qin Lun actually planned to leave the Anker Elf Court and join the Sun Elf Mission as a hired elf.
King Tynquilas's solemn statement was obviously a task that might be officially recognized by Broken Starry Sky, but he didn't have any spare time to do this task.
Qin Lun regretted that he had acted too much in front of the Elf King. After taking over the large-scale plot of the "Road to the Ancients" of the Sun Elf Envoy, he was a little relaxed, completely forgetting that the Anker Elven Court is also an important plot point. In King Tynquilas, it is indeed possible to take on other plot tasks.
"You don't want to?" King Tynquilas was very shrewd, and he immediately saw the strangeness on Qin Lun's face, and felt a little surprised. In his mind, this young elf who is a descendant of the royal family should not reject him.
"No, my lord, Feral is happy to serve you!" Qin Lun took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice.
It may not be possible for the Anker Elf Court to have a more important plot task than the "Ancient Road" of the Sun Elf, but it doesn't hurt to listen. It is not necessarily necessary to execute the task when it is triggered, and the big deal is to walk away. He has no sense of responsibility to the elves, and whether he will cause any trouble to the Jondal moon elves who have just migrated here is out of his consideration.
For the world of Toril, the apostles are just passers-by after all. But the next moment, what King Tynquilas said made Qin Lun slowly raise his eyebrows, and his heart was filled with unbelievable feelings.
Until he walked out of the elf king's meeting hall, Qin Lun was still lamenting this wonderful encounter, and couldn't help but check the plot mission that just appeared in the death list again.
"Apostle No. 70053, you have triggered the hidden plot of the Anker Elf Court - the ancient road (pseudo)!"
[Road to the Ancients (pseudo): The Ank Elf King asks you to participate in the "Road to the Ancients" plot as the prince of the elves of Seopia. Accompanying the sun elf prince Mileras to complete the feat of retracing the ancient road, so that the moon elves can occupy a place in the future sun royal court and share the righteousness and leadership of the sun elves.
Mission objective: to retrace the ancient road, visit the major races of the mainland with the envoys of the sun elves, and spread the influence of the moon elves to the major elf courts along the ancient road, but there is no need to reach the island of eternal gathering under the control of the sun elves.
Mission reward: The apostle's contribution to this mission will be distributed, and the stay time will be increased by one month. The current remaining time is 43 days and 5 hours. After the stay time is exceeded, it will be recorded every time it arrives at an important place.
If the world exploration rate exceeds 0.21%, the cost of the stay time will be borne by Broken Starry Sky. If it does not exceed 0.21%, the apostle will pay on credit first, and then deduct it from the mission reward when he returns. The total world exploration rate exceeds 0.2%, and the final task evaluation is raised by one level.
Tip: The apostle already has the real "Road to the Ancients" plot line, and the rewards of this mission will be consolidated and settled together. The world exploration rate of this plot line is temporarily unknown. Since the team of the apostles has completed the main plot, every time they reach an important location, they can choose to return immediately. During the mission, you cannot choose to return to the Broken Starry Sky.
Tip: This plot line is based on the plot identity of No. 70053 apostle, and it does not need to be shared with other team members. However, if other apostles participate in the "Road to the Ancients", the contribution of No. 70053 apostle will also be reduced. It is recommended to share this task with other apostles.]
Qin Lun never thought that King Tynquilas would give him such a mission!
While the other elf courts were rejecting and guarding against the envoys of the sun elves, the Ank elf king not only did not stop the sun elves, but also planned and used the sun elves to snatch the glory of retracing the ancient road and share the righteous name of the sun elves point.
Qin Lun couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the vision of King Tynquilas, and there was a hint of anticipation and excitement in the murderer's heart.
If it wasn't for the time limit, he really wanted to stay in Faerun Continent to see what kind of heights this elf king could bring the Ankh elves, no, the current Seopia elves.
