Chapter 499 Fairy Festival - Invitation from the Fairy King
On the day of Fairy Day.
Melodious music floated into the room from the window, waking Feng Qi from his sleep.
Opening his eyes, he stood up and came to the balcony.
In front of you, golden raindrops are falling. Looking down, you can see countless figures walking in groups on the street under the golden rain curtain.
On this special day, the costumes of passers-by in the procession have changed.
Many people had various golden symbols painted on their arms and faces, and there were many figures in the parade holding various totem models with fanatical expressions on their faces.
This group of people is called the "Elf Cult" in the encyclopedia.
Xie Yuanli also explained the relevant information in detail to him.
According to Xie Yuanli's account, the society in Elf City is actually divided and torn apart.
But this kind of tearing and differentiation is different from the rich-poor divide in society before the disaster. There is no infinite involution where the rich control most of the wealth and the poor only have a small amount of wealth.
The special civilization structure of human beings in the central region is destined to have no contrast in individual resources.
After all, all resources belong to the Elf King alone.
The divisions among humans in the central region come from differences in beliefs.
After hundreds of years of development, the Elf King has always been a staunch ally of mankind. In essence, this is an alliance established on a reciprocal relationship, with no priority, let alone superiority.
However, due to the influence of the Elf King, human culture was greatly affected, and the Elven Cult was born during its development.
They regard the Elf King as a god of faith.
But not everyone agrees with this view. There are still some humans who believe that they are firm allies with the Elf King, but this relationship has nothing to do with faith.
This leads to a rift in society's beliefs.
Naturally, they are divided into different schools of belief, which also leads to some differences in the view of the Elf King.
It's just that the Elf King didn't pay attention to these questions.
There are only verbal differences among human beings, and they are not considered social issues in the real sense.
There were human leaders who tried to remedy this situation, but their efforts did not bring about good results. Instead, they aggravated social conflicts and led to many out-of-control situations.
The current situation is that society has reached a consensus on freedom of belief.
No one will interfere with the other.
Looking down, Feng Qi could confirm that those with golden runes on their faces and totems on their backs were members of the Elf Cult.
At this time, the Elf Festival has obviously begun, and he will naturally not miss it.
Returning to the house, he woke up Xiaoyou and others.
After a long time, they arrived downstairs. In front of them was a crowded crowd, slowly advancing towards the location of the Elf King.
Feng Qi led Xiaoyou and others into the crowd and followed the parade.
At this time, all the green plants in the central city are in bloom, and flowers are blooming in every corner of the city.
A quiet and ethereal melody resounded over the city, as if a bard was singing softly in the ears, and a tinkling sound similar to that of a harp could be heard, with a long aftertaste.
Unconsciously, the beauty of the gushing fountain under the moonlight was presented in my mind, filled with a poetic atmosphere.
Soft as a rainbow, full of poetry and full of festive atmosphere.
The sound of music seems to cleanse the soul, making Feng Qi's restless heart gradually calm down.
This is not the first time he has discovered this situation.
He found that when he stayed in the elf city, he would be enveloped by some strange power that could soothe his emotions.
Walking out of the street intersection in front of him, what appeared in front of Feng Qi's eyes was the statue of the Elf King, which was as bright as pearls and jade. He could see clear liquid flowing inside the jade-colored statue.
Follow the team along the central streets of the city, and the scenery ahead is charming.
This city perfectly combines the abundant natural vitality with the prosperity of modern cities, and the magical beauty of another world is everywhere as far as the eye can see.
At the intersection ahead, there is another parade arriving.
All the members of this team were sitting on a huge plant cart. The people on the cart were all young, and they wore the medals of festival messengers on their chests.
They are one of the protagonists of this Elf Festival.
When they reach the age of ten, they will complete the elven ritual under the Elf King's tree. From then on, the elven species will be implanted in their bodies, and they will coexist with the elves in the future. It can also be said that they have become the fertile soil of the elves' flesh and blood.
Feng Qi read the description of the elf species in books, and it is clear that the elf species is essentially a symbiosis that is beneficial to the human body.
Elf species can strengthen the human body's quality and can also cleanse the human body of impurities, toxins, etc.
There have been no cancer patients in the Elf City for hundreds of years. This is also one of the changes brought by the Elf race to the human body.
But the hidden danger is that the growth rate of the human body will eventually be unable to keep up with the growth rate of the elves.
The problem of assimilation remains unanswered.
Without thinking too much about this issue, Feng Qi took Xiaoyou and others and continued to move forward with the parade.
After passing through many intersections, the parade gradually grew larger.
There are more and more green plants in sight. These green plants are facing the direction of the Elf King. They are bright and blooming, like believers kneeling on the ground to worship the gods.
As the team passed through the busy streets, there was no longer any obstruction in the distance.
The Elf King is like an ancient god, standing at the end of the line of sight, his majestic body swaying in the wind with countless golden raindrops.
Melodious music rang in my ears, and the holy breath came to my face.
When the team came to the central square area where the Elf King was, the team began to rotate around the Elf King.
There are also many figures looking piously to the Elf King and offering festive gifts.
During hundreds of years of alliance, festival customs derived from the Elf King were born in human society. Circling around the Elf King is part of the Elf Festival culture.
It means that you will be protected by the Elf King and will be free from all diseases.
In fact, the residents of the elf city will not get sick again after completing the parasitism of the elf species.
After living in the city for a month, Feng Qi has never seen any hospitals or clinics here.
The elf species implanted in the body can swallow all viruses harmful to the human body, repair physical damage, and keep the human body in a healthy state.
So the custom, more meaning is the literal meaning.
Feng Qi focused his eyes on the Elf King, and upon closer inspection he discovered that there was a burning flame pit in the center of the Elf King's body.
You can see the raging flames beating inside, and the surging life seems to be gushing out.
This should be what Xie Yuanli calls the melting pot of life.
All resources obtained by humans will be supplied to the Elf King, and the Elf King will use the life furnace in his body to refine them and then absorb them.
While Feng Qi was observing the furnace of life, the voice of the magic knife sounded in his mind:
"The breath of a miraculous creature!"
"Is it really a miracle?"
"It's not wrong. The burning furnace on it has the unique ancient and unruly aura of a miraculous god. It can definitely be a miraculous god."
After hearing Demon Sword's explanation, Feng Qi was not surprised.
The more he got to know the Elf King, the more he felt that the Elf King had mastered a miraculous item.
He did not believe that the evolution and growth of just one spiritual plant could enable the Elf King to grow to his current level in just a few hundred years.
In terms of talent, the Elf King even surpasses most flesh and blood life.
This kind of evolution completely goes against the normal evolution of life.
The realm world may seem bizarre, but it also has a basic evolutionary order.
For example, if a race wants to obtain a strong bloodline potential, it must work hard from generation to generation to continuously strengthen the bloodline, so that the new generation can obtain higher abilities.
But in Xie Yuanli's narration, the Elf King started out as just a spiritual plant with low growth potential.
Without adventure, it is obviously impossible to grow up to where we are today.
Among the adventures, only miracle items are the strongest, and getting them is equivalent to having a bright future.
In addition, he had another guess in his mind.
Perhaps the Elf King is a special life form similar to the three-tailed one.
It is not essentially a domain plant, but a consciousness derived from a miracle item, a derivative of a miracle.
There are two possibilities, but he doesn't know the specific answer yet.
After circling the Elf King several times, the time came to the afternoon. As the sky gradually darkened, colorful energy groups suddenly rose above the city.
These energy groups are like Easter eggs flying into the sky, dragging long tails.
When the energy ball flies over the city, it explodes and blooms like fireworks.
In an instant, cheers, whistles, shouts, and other sounds reached my ears.
Feng Qi looked up at the sky.
The canvas of the sky is like splashing with colored ink, and the brilliant colors spread infinitely in the air, making the picture extremely beautiful.
Elf Festival has officially entered a critical moment.
When the colors in the sky begin to fall down like shooting stars, they weave into interlaced colorful ribbons in the sky and flutter in the wind.
At the same time, split eyes and a mouth and nose appeared on the golden torso of the Elf King.
Elf messengers who were over ten years old stepped onto the golden stairs one after another and came to the golden platform built by Elf King Weili.
The elven ritual of the first messengers begins.
As the Elf King's body trembled slightly, countless shimmering energy groups flew out of the flame-burning furnace of life.
They are like natural elves born between heaven and earth, flying in the air following the music and jumping around the children.
From Feng Qi's perspective, these elves are like beating musical notes, sprouting with surging vitality.
The colors of their body surfaces are different. Some elves have thunder and lightning on their bodies, and their bodies are lavender. Some have transparent liquid flowing around their bodies, and their bodies are light blue... Different colors represent different attributes of elves.
When the elf entered the body, he could see that the children participating in the ceremony were very nervous.
This is a ceremony for children to choose elves, and it is also a ceremony for elves to choose their hosts.
What your future talents will be will be determined after this ceremony.
If you can be parasitized by an excellent elf species, it means that you will have more choices and possibilities in the future.
The dance of the elves lasted for about half an hour, and some elves began to merge with the children.
During this process, it can be seen that the child's expression is very painful.
After all, it was the integration of external forces, and their bodies began to tremble under the severe pain.
When all the children entered the state of fusion with the elf species, the elf king began to spray green crystal particles. These crystal green particles seeped into the body after contact with the children's bodies.
The painful expressions on the children's faces eased, and they saw the elf species beginning to shuttle inside and outside their bodies. Feng Qi could clearly feel that the flesh and blood of the children who had completed the elf parasitism were growing vigorously.
When the elf ceremony was completed, smiles appeared on the faces of the children.
After the ceremony for the first group of children, the second group picked up.
Time came to midnight, darkness enveloped the earth, and the last group of children completed the ceremony of implanting the elf species.
The energy bombs were lifted into the sky again, as if praying for these children who had completed the ceremony, and the festival officially entered the final moment.
Looking at the cheering figures around him, dancing to the rhythm of the music, Feng Qi's face unconsciously showed a smile.
At this moment, a breath approached quickly.
Then an old voice sounded in his ears:
"Foreign guests, can we talk?"
"You are...the Elf King?"
As he spoke, Feng Qi raised his head and looked up at the giant golden tree that reached the sky.
"It's me, the foreign guest. Maybe you have a lot of doubts, and I also have too many doubts about you."
The Elf King's old voice echoed in his mind. As the golden giant tree trembled, golden light spots floating in the air gathered together, forming a golden energy ladder in front of him, leading directly to the Elf King.
Seeing this scene, passers-by showed curious expressions.
There were even expressions of envy on the faces of passers-by.
To be received by the Elf King is, in the eyes of many believers, the most glorious moment in life.
Facing the invitation, Feng Qi did not refuse and took Xiaoyou and others up the golden stairs towards the Elf King.
When he came to the end of the stairs, there was a platform made of golden energy.
When his feet landed on the golden platform, the golden light rain flying in front of him dissipated, the figures in his sight disappeared, and everything in front of him was shrouded in gold.
He found himself being pulled into a golden illusion.
Not far away, a white-haired old man with a kind expression was looking at him with a smile.
"Guest, welcome to the Elf City."
As he spoke, the old man waved forward, and suddenly a stone coffee table appeared in front of him.
Then the old man stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea.
Facing the invitation, Feng Qi took two steps forward and sat in front of the stone bench. Looking at the human shadow displayed by the Elf King, he speculated in his mind what the Elf King's purpose was.
"You must know my origin, right?"
Facing Feng Qi's inquiry, the old man nodded kindly:
"Nothing in the city escapes my eyes. From the moment you entered the Elf City, I have already discovered you... From the subsequent reports from the Southern District, I have a clearer understanding of your origins.
I knew you came to the eastern part of the human world."
As he said that, the old man looked at the magic knife that could be suspended in the illusion, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes:
"The weapon following you is very extraordinary. Its symbiosis with you is very similar to the fusion of humans and elves."
"It's different, the old man will not kill the host." The disdainful voice of the magic knife sounded at this time.
Hearing Demon Sword suddenly speak, the Elf King looked stunned at first, then nodded kindly, without refuting Demon Sword's point of view.
"You are a guest, so you can ask questions first." The Elf King filled the tea cup that Feng Qi had finished drinking and said with a smile.
At this time, Feng Qi was filled with doubts. After thinking for a short time, he asked decisively:
"Elf King, you have mastered a miraculous artifact, right?"
Faced with this question, the Elf King's expression became solemn. After looking directly at Feng Qi for a long time, his expression finally softened, and then he nodded calmly:
"Your guess is right. There is a miraculous artifact in my body, although I didn't know it was a miraculous artifact."
Feng Qi was not surprised when he received the elf king's affirmative answer. What he was curious about was the function of this miraculous artifact.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked again:
"Can you tell me what the function of this miraculous artifact is?"
