Seeing Lorraine Hill suddenly stand up, Westena was a little surprised. She actually had other plans for this girl, such as going to the East to find the Wood-seeking Branch.
Because from the words of Caedlin just now, she knew that the Witch of the Stars not only had influence in the Western Continent, but also had a noble status in the distant Eastern Dynasty. Such a good candidate made her
Going to the northern continent would be a waste.
But if it was her request, Vestena wouldn't be able to stop it.
Looking at Westena, Lorraine Hill blinked and said he would explain in detail later.
Next, everyone in the courtyard discussed how to deal with several other tests.
The second item, Xunmu Yuzhi, is to send a fleet led by an elf sage to the Eastern Continent.
The third item, the Cloud-Splitting Beast Horn, is a search team organized by Waldelin, the leader of the Tricolor Feather Faction. Their team is currently the most powerful team, with about three elf sages participating. This is also because
Respect for that powerful fantasy monster.
The fourth item, completing the poem of leaves, will be completed by many members of the "Basket Corolla, Green Corolla, Gold Leaf Corolla, Book Feather Corolla". They will explore the major libraries, ruins, ancient families, and inherited traditions of humans and elves.
Murals and stone carvings are used to search for clues and traces, and at the same time, they also place their hopes on the envoys visiting the north.
The fifth item, Seven-Colored Golden Flower, has not been discussed at all. The leaders of each faction seem to have already had some kind of tacit understanding, and they keep this secret to avoid the information being revealed in advance and being known to their opponents.
After the discussion was over, everyone gathered again for a while before gradually dispersing.
Returning to the round pavilion before, Vistena asked about the reason why Lorraine Hill had just recommended herself to go to the north.
"I know, Vestena definitely wants me to go to the East." Looking at the elf sage, Lorraine Hill said in anticipation.
"Indeed." Westena nodded, and when she heard the girl say this, she slowly felt relieved.
"Actually, there is no need to look for the jade branches of the sacred tree." As he said that, Lorraine Hill stroked his hair with his hands, and then took out a wooden box from his arms.
Slowly opening the wooden box, a dark purple fruit was revealed, emitting a strange aura.
"This is the fruit of Xunmu, and Xunmu actually withered more than a hundred years ago." The girl recalled what Granny Ge Luo told her.
The center of the Ximu Mountains is where Xunmu used to be. However, due to the chaos in the cave and the contamination of magic power, Xunmu has long since withered away. Even if you look for it now, you won't gain anything.
"This..." Vestina blinked and looked at Lorraine Hill in disbelief.
She originally thought that to complete this test, she would have to search in the vast Eastern Continent, but the result would probably be nowhere in sight. Even if the time limit for this duel ended, it was hard to say that she would gain anything.
Unexpectedly, this was done suddenly. As long as the fruit is planted, it is not difficult to cultivate it with the many high-level natural sequences in the forest elves. You will soon be able to get one of the branches with fruit to complete the test. This is also
This means that they won this duel from the beginning.
"Really, I don't know how to thank you." Vestina touched the fruit in her hand, raised and put her hand down, and finally held the girl in her arms and thanked her.
"It's been a big help, Lorraine." Suddenly being hugged by this elf sister, Lorraine Hill was a little confused for a moment, but fortunately he settled down quickly.
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence. I didn't know you would set this as a test target. In fact, wood-seeking is not very famous in the East, it's just that it's really rare." The girl said modestly, which made Westena feel a little uncomfortable.
cute.
This guy is still like this, afraid that others will be too grateful.
Letting go of her arms, Vestena carefully kept the wooden box and then looked at Lorraine Hill.
"I will keep it well, and the fruits, branches and leaves I will cultivate in the future will also be specially left to you."
"Thanks to your good luck, now we can have more manpower to do other things. In this way, we can also carry out small strategies." As she said that, Vistena seemed to think of something and showed a special smile.
A week later, a white airship took off from the Emerald Garden, taking a group of people to the far north. They would cross the cold wind, snow and ocean to the continent where the ice elves live.
In the sky, Lorraine Hill was sitting at the table under the round window, looking at the letter in her hand. This was the report she had recently received from the Dryas.
Today, the situation in the empire is in an extremely delicate balance. As the nominal rulers of the empire, the two queens command their respective fiefs and the nobles surrounding them.
The empire is divided into two major parts with the former capital of the central part, Titania. One side listens to Queen Tessline with the coat of arms of the white rose and the griffon, and the other side listens to Queen Evelyn with the coat of arms of the red rose and the unicorn.
Queen, although the two sides are not currently engaged in a major war, the friction on the border has never ceased.
Both parties are not satisfied with the current result. The original two queens were retrieved by the Griffin family first. They could have unified the entire empire and subdued the Landsworth family in the east with their righteousness. They did not want to be in the middle.
An accident that was almost scandalous and humiliating happened. The two queens who were heavily protected were actually taken away by an unknown assassin. This directly shattered the dream of a great cause that the Griffin family was almost able to complete. It is said that the Griffin family was
When the Duke heard the news, he was so furious that he couldn't sleep for several days. He destroyed and broke countless things and could not suppress his anger.
The Landsworth family, who had acquired Queen Evelyn, could not tolerate what the Griffin family had done.
It is true that the Landsworth family was separated from the royal family due to the coup more than ten years ago, but this does not mean that they can tolerate the Griffin family to replace the royal family, ride on their heads, and issue orders to them.
Most of the Eastern nobles represented by the Landsworth family are the mixed descendants of elves and humans. They were also a gradually growing and expanding aristocratic group after the union of humans and elves in the early days of the empire. It can be said that they are inextricably linked to the royal family.
Relationship. In the hearts of these nobles, the Griffin Principality is, after all, a faction that is different from the empire's basic base. It is a foreign faction that is more difficult to accept than the northern border. In the eyes of the eastern nobles who advocate elegance, poetry, and art, they are from the western mountains and forests.
The gryphon family always carries a barbaric aura.
It's okay to be a member of the empire on weekdays, but to recognize him as the new royal family is as uncomfortable as eating a mosquito.
"How can such a barbaric and vulgar person from the West become the leader of the empire?" This is probably the sentiment of many nobles from the East.
Now, with the righteous name of Queen Evelyn, the nobles of the Eastern Territory quickly gathered together and began to discuss the strategy of counterattacking the Western Territory and taking back Queen Teslin.
