Under the guidance of the elf maid, they walked a long way and climbed many stairs before they came to a lawn and saw a sparkling fountain in front of them.
The fountain was illuminated by many oil lamps hanging on nearby branches, and fell into a silver basin, from which a stream of clear water gurgled.
To the south of the lawn is the tallest of all the sacred trees. Its huge trunk shines like gray silk, extending all the way up until the first branching branches are hidden in the cloud-like leaves.
until.
Eloise and Ekaterina passed many lookouts along the way, all built in different locations; some were built around tree trunks, with rope ladders passing through them.
When he reached a place very high above the ground, he came to a large observation tower, as wide as the deck of a giant ship, and built a house on it, which was so large that it could be used as a great hall for humans on the ground.
The two followed the elf maid in and found themselves standing in an oval hall, with a huge golden tree trunk in the center. Although it was almost reaching its top, the trunk of this tree still looked spectacular from here.
The hall is filled with soft light, the walls are green and silver, and the roof is gold.
There were two chairs near the tree trunk, covered with living leaves, on which sat the Elf King and Queen.
Ilosu was very surprised. These two elves were really nimble in their movements. Just now they were entertaining Ilosu and others with the other elves down below, but now they had returned to the top of the golden tree.
The two stood up and greeted Eloise and Ekaterina according to the etiquette of the elves, welcoming them with the same etiquette as receiving an emperor.
They were very tall, the Queen not much taller than the Elf King; they were both very serious and extremely beautiful.
Both of them were dressed in white. The queen's hair was dark golden, while the Elf King's hair was rich and bright silver. However, there were no traces of time on their faces. The only clue was in their eyes; two pairs of eyes.
They are all as sharp and shining as the tips of spears on a moonlit night, but they also contain deep memories.
The elf maid led Eloise and Ekaterina to the two of them. The Elf King welcomed the group in their language, while the Queen said nothing and just stared into Eloise's eyes.
"Dear Ambassador of God, and my beautiful young lady, please sit next to me!" the Elf King said. "Speaking of which, Your Excellency Angel of God is really handsome. He is the top being among our elves."
Listening to the Elf King's sighs and praises, Iloth felt a little shy. After all, as a man or a knight, he would rather others appreciate his strength rather than his appearance.
Of course, Ilosu's strength was at the legendary peak of the Elven King and Queen, but it was not enough in the eyes of a demigod.
"Yes, your appearance reminds me of a person. Your appearance is very similar to hers." The Elf Queen spoke for the first time. Her voice was as sweet as poetry, but it was very low.
"Galandriel, after listening to what you said, I found that the appearance of Your Majesty the Divine Envoy does look like Anastasia," the Elf King said.
It turns out that the elven queen's name is Galadriel, which means "the girl wearing a radiant wreath" in the High Elf language.
"My child, please come here and let me take a closer look at you." Queen Galadriel said softly. This time she did not address her as the Lord of the Gods, as if she were a kind elder caring for her younger generation.
Eloth stood up and walked towards Queen Galadriel, who seemed to be bathed in divine light, and came to her side.
Galadriel raised her white jade arms and made a ceremonial gesture towards the east. At the same time, a ring on her long and slender finger made Eloth's pupils shrink.
The ring was exactly the same as the ring that his mother left for him and he gave to Fiona. The only difference was that the high elf text engraved on it was different.
This ring is called Elendil.
Elendil, the elves' favorite evening star, was shining brightly, and the blazing starlight even caused the body of the Elf Queen to cast a faint shadow on the ground.
The light illuminated a ring on her finger. The ring looked extremely simple and simple, but it also possessed huge magical power.
Eloise looked at the ring in awe, because everything suddenly made sense to him.
His mother has an inextricable relationship with Queen Galadriel, or the high elves.
Galadriel raised her hand and cast a beam of light from the ring she was wearing, plunging everything into darkness except for the light in the beam.
She stood in front of Iloth. She was indescribably tall, beautiful beyond biological limits, terrifying and sublime.
Then, a ray of light shone from the ring and shot towards Elos' body.
Eloise didn't feel any discomfort when exposed to the light. On the contrary, a sense of pleasure arose spontaneously like encountering the warm sun in the cold winter, and the pores all over her body were calling for happiness.
Queen Galadriel observed Eloth and murmured to herself: "It's incredible!"
Then she put down her hands and let the light fade. Suddenly she smiled again, and with a hiss, she shrank and returned to the original slim elf woman, wearing a simple white robe, with a gentle and sentimental voice.
"I see," she said, "boy, this is really destiny!"
"Galadriel, what's going on? What did you find?" The Elf King finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"Dear Elrond, this child is Anastasia's child. He has half the blood of our high elves."
"What!" Elos, Ekaterina and the Elf King said in surprise at the same time.
"It's really incredible. Are all these coincidences arranged by the Elf Goddess?" Elf King Elrond murmured to himself.
"How is it possible? Elos looks like a pure human without any characteristics of a half-elf!" Yekaterina was a little unbelievable.
Eloth also turned his attention to Queen Galadriel, waiting for her explanation.
"At that time, Anna dreamed of the elf goddess Lilith in her dream, and received the goddess's oracle, asking her to go to the human territory. What specific arrangements were made, the goddess did not tell Anna, and we do not know." Galadri
Er said. "But for the sake of safety, we used the divine art of humanization for Anna, your mother. Except for the bloodline, all the elf characteristics of your mother were hidden. You must know that if an elf suddenly appears in the human race,
Territory, it will definitely arouse the crazy coveting of the human race, and then lead to the fate of being captured and enslaved."
"Perhaps, the goddess arranged for your mother Anna to go to the human territory just for your arrival today."
Elrond, the Elf King, said with some excitement. He understood that if all this was arranged by the Elf Goddess, it meant that the Elf Goddess still had the power to foresee the future, and the high elves trapped in the Central Mountains would be saved.
"That should be the case. It seems that the goddess has never abandoned us!" For a moment, even Queen Galadriel was a little moved.
Ilosu and Ekaterina looked at each other. They did not expect that Ilosu himself had such a complicated origin. Coupled with the identity of the divine envoy he had inadvertently acquired, the two felt a hint of conspiracy, or a deliberate push from the Lord God.
.
Yekaterina was still a little dubious, but Elos knew that eighty percent of what the Elf Queen and Elf King told was true, because Queen Galadriel's ring was indeed of the same origin as the one left to her by her mother.
"Can you tell me how Anna is doing? Since twenty years ago, the Altar of Life in the Elven Court has been unable to sense Anna's presence." Galadriel said with a hint of sadness. In fact, she had already guessed the result.
, I just don’t want to believe it.
"My mother, she later met my father, Handel Pascal..."
Iloth met and fell in love with his mother Anna and his father Handel, and was hunted down by the Holy Church, causing his mother to be seriously injured. His father went deep into the legendary demigod cemetery in the Central Mountains to search for the holy medicine and disappeared, and his mother Anna finally died of her injuries.
He told the Elf Queen and Elf King exactly.
"Anna, what a miserable child!" Elf King Elrond said with a sad expression.
Queen Galadriel let a drop of clear tears fall from the corner of her eyes, splashing on the ground and turning into countless tiny crystal water splashes.
