Since a warrior came to invite her, Charlotte just went with the flow and accepted the other party's kindness.
Following the beast-skin warrior through the rows of thatched huts, she soon arrived at the tower of shelter on the hillside.
When Charlotte entered the tower, the tribe's priest elders were already waiting there.
He was an elderly man with silver hair and a tired look.
He was wearing traditional elf clothing, and his legs seemed disabled, so he could only half-sit on a recliner.
Feeling the other person's faint extraordinary aura and the faint smell similar to that of the priests of the Holy King's Court, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
This is a priest!
A priest of the moon goddess Artemis!
Seeing Charlotte, the old priest smiled.
With the help of the soldiers, he saluted to Charlotte tremblingly, and then said respectfully:
"May the protection of the moonlight be with you, respected Master Tianqi Enci, please forgive me for my physical inconvenience and my inability to greet you in person after learning of your arrival..."
"My name is Eng, and I am the chief priest of the Beishan tribe. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Charlotte was surprised when she saw the old priest's respectful and enthusiastic look.
The status of the elves seemed to be even higher than she had imagined. Even a half-elf like her would receive such courtesy.
She was still thinking about how she would respond if the other party asked about her origins, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't even ask.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte said tentatively:
"Mr. Engel, I do need some help from you."
"To be honest, I was rescued by Lord Halfdan of your tribe after I woke up in the wild. After I woke up, I forgot a lot of things..."
"If possible, I would like to ask you for some information about the Apocalypse. If you have any books about mythology or history, I would also like to borrow them to read."
"I hope to see if I can awaken the lost memories in this way..."
After hearing what Charlotte said, Elder Engel looked embarrassed:
"Master Tianqi Ensi, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Our Beishan tribe has always strictly followed the requirements of the Central Tower and does not hold any collections of books, let alone books about mythology and history... I'm afraid you can only find these things by going to the Central Tower."
"If you want to know about the information of the Revelator, I do know a little, but I am afraid I only know the basics. After all, although I am a priest in the tribe, I am only a mortal who believes in the moonlight. I cannot obtain the grace of God like you."
"However, the Central Tower will send messengers every three months. There are still more than two months before the next messenger arrives. If you don't mind, you can rest in our tribe. When the messenger from the tower comes, he will definitely take you back and help you awaken your memory."
Elder Enger looked earnest and had a respectful attitude.
But Charlotte felt an indescribable subtlety.
Why does it feel like... this priest elder believes whatever I say
Doesn't he have any doubts about his origins
Charlotte was puzzled, but remained calm and continued to ask:
"Mr. Eng, it's okay to just remember the basics. I can't remember many, many things. Even the common sense in this world is knowledge that I need to know."
Elder Engel nodded and said respectfully:
"I see. What exactly do you want to know? As long as it's something I know, I will tell you everything I know."
After receiving this answer, Charlotte felt even more confused.
However, since the other party said so, she was no longer polite, but started to inquire about various common sense about this world as if she was a person who had really lost her memory.
As promised, the priest elder Engel patiently answered all of Charlotte's questions, allowing Charlotte to gain a deeper understanding of this era.
As Charlotte asked, she verified the information with the various books she had read before she traveled through time. Gradually, she pieced together the worldview of this era in her mind...
First of all, if nothing unexpected happened, she really slept until thousands of years ago.
Or to be more precise, it should be the end of the Elven Era between 2,800 and 3,000 years ago.
The country she lived in, called the Kingdom of Towers, should be one of the countries established by the first elves to arrive in Miria. It was located in the north of the Miria continent, almost the area where the northern tribes were located in later generations, on the plateau north of Earl Castel's territory.
The elves in this era are honored as the Revelators, and their descendants with humans are called the Heirs of Revelation.
The Apocalypse is the ruler of each country, and the Apocalypse's Successors are the Apocalypse's spokespersons and the direct managers of mortals. They are like the royal family and the nobility.
They offer mortals shelter, and mortals offer them loyalty and tribute in return.
It is precisely because of the protection of "Apocalypse" that mortals can survive in this chaotic era. The source of all chaos, the evil gods and wild beasts awakened from ancient times, are the common enemies of mortals and the Apocalypse.
This information corresponds to the history that Charlotte knows.
The so-called evil gods are naturally the old gods native to the Miria continent who were awakened by the arrival of the elves, and the wild beasts are naturally the various magical beasts that have mutated under the influence of the divine blood.
It is obvious that the war between the elves and the old gods has been going on for quite a long time in this era.
The leader of the elves is none other than the moon goddess Artemis. As for the old gods, there are many different opinions, and Elder Engel, as a mortal, does not know much.
Besides this, other gods of later generations have not appeared yet, including the Blood Ancestor, the God of Creation, the Sea King, or the God of Contract, etc.
In other words, the era after Charlotte awakened was the era before the magnificent mythological era in history began, the era when those old gods had not yet fallen one after another and the godhood had not yet been obtained by various lucky people!
"Lord Tianqi Ensi, is there any other information you would like to know?"
Seeing Charlotte lost in thought, Elder Eng asked respectfully.
Charlotte came back to her senses and shook her head:
"Well... Thank you for your answer, Mr. Eng, I don't have any questions for now."
"So what are your plans next? If you want to stay and wait for the arrival of the messenger from the tower, I can arrange the best accommodation for you in the tribe; if you want to go to the central tower, I can also send someone to escort you there."
"The Central Tower is located in the south. It takes about a month to walk there. If you wait for the messenger to arrive, it will take more than two months. But by then, you can follow the messenger through the Divine Grace Array to the tower, and you don't need to travel alone."
Elder Eng said again.
Divine grace array
Could it be... referring to the teleportation array
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She thought of Halfdan's two children and said:
"I'd better stay here for a while."
She has already found a way to increase her strength, so it doesn't matter if she is not in such a hurry to go to the central tower, not to mention that she met two children here who are suspected to be the True Ancestor of Blood and the God of Creation.
After hearing what Charlotte said, Elder Engel smiled and said:
"Everything follows your will..."
After deciding whether to stay or go, Elder Eng sent someone to arrange accommodation for Charlotte.
Before leaving the tower, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she quietly turned her hand, leaving behind a vampire magic for eavesdropping - the Eye of Shadow.
Elder Engel's attitude was so friendly and unguarded that she felt uneasy. She planned to secretly test his abilities.
What surprised Charlotte was that as soon as she left, she "saw" Halfdan, who was supposed to be waiting at home, enter the tower through monitoring magic.
