Against this background, Cecilia hid in her cabin every day, and took a few Hilo priests who escaped from the Central Mountain Range with her, praying to the gods, praying for the guidance of the Father God. In fact, this kind of work has been going on for several months. Since leaving the Central Mountain Range, this high-ranking priest has hardly dared to do anything, just praying every day.
At the beginning, the elves in distress had great hopes for this. People who have left their homes urgently need the gods to give them spiritual guidance.
But how can it be so easy to obtain the revelation of the gods? For months, Cecilia's prayers had little success. The elves floating on the sea, from the hope at the beginning to the numbness later, are now not far from despair.
Not to mention much, yesterday there was a couple who committed suicide by jumping into the sea after leaving a desperate suicide note.
But no one could have imagined that in the middle of the night, the great father of the elves actually sent down divine revelation!
At this moment, the deck of the Jinxiangye, which should have been cold, was already full of elves. Turquoise spiritual lamps covered the entire ship. On the upper floor of the captain's room, the high-ranking priest Cecilia, under the protection of several god guards, read the revelation to the elves gathered on the deck.
Large tracts of hymns are recited in the ancient high-level elf language, and not many people can understand them, but the language like music, the poems specially born to praise the gods, has a very high charm in itself, Even if you don't understand the meaning, you can appreciate the holiness in it.
After the hymns are recited, the real meat show begins.
I only heard Cecilia say: "God has mercy on everyone, the Star Bless the Spirit Race, the great father of elves, has sent an envoy to establish a new elf kingdom for us on the sea. Follow the envoy and rebuild our homeland!"
The elves below boiled up: "Follow the envoy and rebuild your homeland!"
A joyful banquet started at Jinxiangye. Under the pressure of the past few months and the constant pain of losing their companions, the more than two hundred survivors have almost fallen into a state of despair. No one knows how long their fled career can last. , and I don't know when I can really get down on my feet. They can only pin their hopes on praying to the gods. Everyone knows that this is an unreliable thing. With the power of Nancy's royal family, the gods can make a difference in the large-scale prayer activities held every three years. Replies were rare, let alone in such a crude environment, a mere eighth-level priest led a few people who hadn't even reached the high-level level to perform prayer activities.
But hope came when everyone was getting desperate, so every elf undoubtedly entered into ecstasy: God's guidance can never be wrong.
There are very few people who can keep calm in this situation, but Patience is definitely one of them.
She felt that it was definitely a good thing for her compatriots who had been suppressed for a long time to take advantage of such good news to relax. At least, from today onwards, there should be no more people who can't bear the pressure and commit suicide by jumping into the sea, right? But she herself came out of the joyful mood in a short period of time. It was she who brought more than 400 elves out of the central mountain range, and half of them had been lost along the way. No one blamed her, but the pressure in her heart was greater than anyone else.
So, at such a time when everyone could indulge happily, she was the only one who quickly calmed down.
She approached Cecilia and asked, "What's the situation with the envoy you mentioned just now?"
Cecilia put down the fruit wine glass in her hand and said, "It's the will of the gods. According to the revelation, there was a man who was favored by God the Father and established an elf settlement on a desert island called Comilla." On that inhabited land, there is still a tree of life!"
"The tree of life?!" Patience was a little frightened, "Is it real?"
Cecilia's face became a little serious: "Do you think Father God's revelation is wrong, or do you think I'm lying?"
"Of course not, of course not..." Patience said again and again. After many years of friendship, she knew that this friend of hers was good at everything, except that she was very well-behaved on weekdays. He didn't like to joke and couldn't make jokes. Of course she knew that Cecilia would not tell lies, let alone suspect that the will of the gods would be wrong. The main reason she asked before was because she was too surprised.
The status of the tree of life in the hearts of the elves is almost no less than that of the father of the elves, Hilo. According to legend, the first thing Helo created after he was born between heaven and earth was the tree of life, and then he created the entire natural world relying on the tree of life, and the elves are the highest-level products of the natural world. closest people.
In addition to the noble religious status, the powerful power of the tree of life itself has practical significance for the elves. As we all know, elves have a long life. So far, the longest-lived elf, the guardian of the elf kingdom of Ilseth Forest and one of the founders of the Northern Alliance, the legendary Druid Israel, lived four years. millennium. Human beings four thousand years ago were still in the stage of city-state civilization, and there was no such thing as a country yet. At that time, the most powerful race on the continent was the orcs, and the elves have united humans and orcs to fight to the death for countless years. It wasn't until the last one or two thousand years, after the development of human civilization, that the orcs were gradually driven from the core area of the mainland to the eastern wasteland.
Even if Israel is excluded, the average elf has a lifespan of about 800 years. Of course, this aspect has something to do with the racial superiority of the elves, who themselves are longevity species. But there is a very strange thing, that is, the elves living in human society generally die of aging within four hundred years. This has nothing to do with personal strength. The reason why one can live for eight hundred years, or even thousands of years in the kingdom of elves, but only four hundred years in human society, lies in the tree of life.
The vitality emanating from the tree of life perfectly matches the life characteristics of the elves. Within the range of the magical radiation of the tree of life, the lifespan of the elves will be greatly extended. This is the most critical point for the elves to live a terrifyingly long life! It is precisely because of this that outside the forest of elves, other elves are rarely seen. Unless they are exiled, there are very few elves who can't think about it and will lose half of their lifespan to leave the forest.
Now, says Cecilia, is it any surprise that there is a tree of life on that island of Comilla
