Chapter 621: The Festival of the Corellon Believers: The Forest Supper of the New Moon
Hill looked at Alessio. It seemed that Corellon's followers didn't quite approve of the forest lady.
He suddenly realized that this former elven alien god was actually more of a half-elf, and as a result, she gradually evolved from a female human druid who was killed by soldiers of a certain human warlord.
Daughter of Silvanus and the Elven goddess of love and beauty.
As for which one is true, outsiders cannot be sure, but pure-blood elves are trying to prove that it is the first.
Although Mielikki absorbed the rangers as her followers during the Year of Turmoil, and transformed from the forest lady into the god of the forest and rangers, this cannot deny the fact that she was promoted by the elven god system but followed Silvanus.
Although the Elf Father was completely indifferent to this incident, his followers and pure-blood elves were very dissatisfied with it.
Especially pure-blood elves.
When Mielikki became the first true half-elf power, they created a lot of rumors, but by that time, they had lost their dominant position on the road, and the rumors never left Evermeet Island.
On the other hand, the Elf goddess of love and beauty may not deny her charm at certain times and may even be able to attract the Oak Father, so Melikai's identity is more often assumed to be the daughter of the Oak Father.
However, after Melikai became the Forest Lady, she followed the forest guardian of the Elf God System, the Lord of Leaves Rillifan Lelefe. The elves also kept him and the Kingdom of Avandor where the God System is located.
The huge oak tree in the center ties it all together.
This also resulted in the formation of a very friendly relationship between the Oak Father and the Leaf Lord, so Mielikki's change of stance is likely to be related to the exchange between the two gods.
At that time, the elves were too disdainful towards Melikai. With the Lord of Leaf's quiet, contemplative but defensive character, it was normal for her to send her favorite god to a place that was more suitable for her.
Hill felt that the elves like Toril clearly asked the elves to live in harmony with each other, and they violated the wish of the half-elves to be treated as true brothers and sisters. How on earth did they have the nerve to think that Mielikki was a traitor?
The priests and followers of Corellon have no problem with Mielikki's indifference. Although they never show respect to Corellon, they absolutely love her sincerely.
The reason why he likes to spread gossip about him is because Corellon doesn't care about it himself, and he also likes to add fuel and jealousy to it.
Hill felt that what they were more dissatisfied with was that Melikai was the daughter of the goddess of love and beauty.
After all, the goddess of Corellon is a trinity of goddesses, and the goddess of love and beauty is also one of the three goddesses who make up the queen.
Although the goddess of love and beauty had no direct relationship with Corellon when she existed independently, and even had many lovers, many people in Toril always felt that she was one-third of the goddess.
The more detailed it is, the worse it becomes.
The elves' explanations are useless, so although the trinity goddess Angelis protects all aspects of the elves, her followers are really very few. There are not even as many priests as the demigod sons she gave birth to with Corellon.
Most of them are independent priests of the three goddesses and they also add some offerings to her, but this should be more in line with Corellon's wishes. He never wants a powerful goddess like Rose to appear again.
Moreover, Angelis was only a suitable elf queen, not one he loved, so Corellon never showed any importance to this goddess, let alone sending away his Seraph leader like he did to Rose.
One person.
Over the past few hundred years, the elves have basically downplayed the Trinity Goddess, and Corellon often exists independently in their narratives.
It is also because of this that the priests of Corellon have this faint expression of rejection towards Melikai, who is promoted as the daughter of Hanali Selaniel, the elf goddess of love and beauty, and will not show any hostility towards her.
But I don’t want to mention it either.
Happy Liz interrupted Hill's thoughts, and she decided to tell the captain of the guard about the seed bag. If the Supreme Forest could be purified, or even just the area near the Star Mountains, the elves, at least the elves in the Star Mountains, would
, and I can get some forgiveness from the tree people’s ancestral family.
For the elves who have always had a harmonious relationship with the tree people, the cold relationship over the years is really uncomfortable, but it is indeed the fault of their own kind, and it is difficult to even compensate. The door to hell opens too delicately.
, no one can shut it down.
But before leaving, Liz rushed into a vine house in the orchard.
This house is really cleverly made. It uses the leaves of several climbing fruits to overlap and visually intersect. On the surface, it looks like a sloping shelf covered with plants. Even Hill didn't notice it just now.
It was actually a hut.
Well, Hill comforted his inner dissatisfaction with his blindness: It was a visual art created by an artist, and it was normal not to see it.
He couldn't help but bite his cheek. In fact, Hill couldn't accept this comfort at all. Alessio is an artist, but he still works in civil engineering~
He was so dazzled by the delicious fruits that he didn’t pay attention to the environment at all!
Especially after seeing the real tea leaves, Hill's mood has been a bit chaotic.
That should be the Longjing tea that has been circulated in Faerûn. He has only seen the finished product, and this is the first time he has seen the plant.
A dozen dwarf shrubs stood spiritually in a corner of the orchard. They could only be planted alone, rather than attached to some big trees. Hill saw them almost at a glance.
There is actually a tea garden in his hometown, but they like to make strong tea there, which is very bitter.
Hill has not liked tea since he was a child. Even after he later learned that green tea can be brewed with just a few sticks, he could no longer drink it.
But now he is trying to remember how many steps there are in the tea frying process.
Reinforcing his careless spirit, Hill smiled and greeted Liz who came out with a huge box.
Lin En's mother probably couldn't contain her enthusiasm and planned to give away all her belongings.
Looking at the orchard, which was about to have another harvest soon, Hill readily accepted Liz's generous gift. He didn't want to put any pressure on this enthusiastic lady because of his behavior.
But those seeds had been prepared by him for a long time to be given to the defenders of the Star Mountain Range. Only the seed bag was a reward for the warm hospitality of Linn's parents.
This is actually the lowest-level gift that Hill can give. The remaining training items are okay to sell, but he cannot accept them as gifts for friends he recognizes.
Even if others don't know it, Hill himself knows it. He doesn't like to perfuse his friends with things that don't even amount to giving.
Although the seed bag was only at the legendary level, he had indeed carefully collected the materials and spent enough effort to make it. Only such a thing was suitable to respond to the warm reception given to him by Liz and Alessio.
If we say that at the beginning, these two were just Lynn's parents, but from the time Alessio took him to the whitebait creek and seriously taught Hill how to cultivate whitebait to reproduce, Hill had already included them in his life.
My status in my heart has been elevated to that of a friend.
Of course, sincerity must be reciprocated with sincerity. Alessio could obviously just give him some whitebait, but at most he would ask Hill to come back to him after eating, instead of teaching him the breeding method.
Liz quickly jumped out of the orchard and rushed to the highest point of the mountain range.
Alessio whispered: "Liz has always been very grateful to the guard captain. He not only took us in, but also helped Liz transform from a sea warrior to the scimitar warrior she is today, instead of just becoming a ranger.
.
If Liz had wanted to, she could have changed her job to a ranger long ago, but she didn't agree with the style of the ranger from the bottom of her heart, so we traveled around the continent for so long and couldn't find a place to stay.
The elves on the mainland actually prefer to use long swords, and it is really rare to find a master who is so proficient in scimitars."
Alessio looked at the top of the peak and suddenly said: "The guard captain will definitely go to the tree druid over there in Tulang to ask you about the effect of this moss. If it is really useful, he should use it when he comes back at night.
A ceremony is held for Corellon."
Hill looked at Alessio in surprise, is this so important?
"It stands to reason that the High Forest should celebrate the Tau Quel festival every new moon. It is the forest sacrament brought to us by Corellon, and it is also the most common holiday celebration held by Corellon believers.
Most other festivals occur once every few decades due to astronomical influences.
But the Star Mountain Range has never celebrated this festival since the elf retreat.
The captain of the guard and the others had never even had a formal meal except for the occasional fruit. They felt that they were not qualified.
The Star Mountain Range was able to survive the massive demonic attack not because of their heroic fighting, but because it was originally the largest holy land in Corellon.
The protector will never let the devil get into his sacrificial place.
But after getting your moss seeds, the guard captain may feel that Corellon has forgiven them for their inaction.
Especially, Hill, didn't you notice? Today happens to be the day of the new moon.
And the elves all know that you have the blood of Corellon. To the Sword of Everesca, this is simply Corellon telling them: I forgive you, and you are qualified to eat the Forest Communion again."
Hill blinked, looked up and saw several figures walking in the wind on the mountain peak, rushing directly towards the ancestral court of the tree people. When Liz and the others went to watch the fun, they seemed to run over from the ground.
It seems that this matter is indeed very important to the guard captain.
Hill actually almost forgot that he still had such a label. In other words, he had been trying to downplay this label, especially after the undead came.
After all, they didn't need to think carefully to know where Hill's Corellon bloodline came from.
Every time he thought of this, Hill felt his heart beating crazily.
