Chapter 1401 Elf Council
Many Eri creatures gathered in front of a huge tree, their eyes were either pious or reverently looking at this weather-beaten giant tree.
Pilgrims once gathered here to admire the wonders of the world, and at this time, their last hope is gathered here.
"Jenny, I never thought you would dare to set foot on this holy land!"
In the center of the arena, a female elf in a dark green outfit with a cold face stopped the white-clothed witch who came from afar and asked in a low voice.
Even though she had lowered her voice, her actions still attracted the attention of many creatures around her.
"Stop it, Hakashilu."
A male elf in the same dress stopped her with a deep voice.
"...Yes, Lord Yves."
Although unwilling, Hakaxilu still obeyed the order and put down his raised hand, but still glared at the white-clothed witch.
"I heard about Fiat." The elf named Ivor said slowly, "You shouldn't do this."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Jenny closed her eyes and said, "I just came to participate in this ceremony."
Behind Jenny, Sotofi, who was a little embarrassed, looked nervously at the slightly unfamiliar male elf in front of him, showing complex eyes mixed with reverence and puzzlement.
"Yve..." Sotofi seemed to want to say something, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by another elf.
"If it wasn't for all the forest guardians preparing for this ceremony, Jenny, you should have been punished for what you have done," Hakaxilu reprimanded.
"I just did what I should do." Jenny opened her eyes and said slowly.
While the few people were talking, the atmosphere in the field changed instantly, and the attention of all the creatures around was attracted by a special figure in front of the giant tree.
It was a handsome elf, with long silver hair hanging behind the emerald green robe. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of almost all creatures.
"Masaiah, the king of elves."
The surrounding creatures loudly praised the elf's name, and even the haughty unicorn lowered its head at this moment.
The Elf King stretched out his hand and caressed the lines on the bark. After all the praises subsided, he said in a heavy tone:
"People of Eli, we have reached the most critical moment. The evil necromancers are constantly encroaching on our land, displacing countless creatures, and can no longer find their way home."
He raised his head slightly, looking at the huge trees that could not be seen, his eyes were ethereal, and he seemed to be out of the world, only the frown between his brows showed the depression in his heart.
"Unfortunately, our defense lines have been breached one after another. Countless innocent creatures died in this battle, and even became the enemy's weapon against us. The Necromancer is dispatching troops and preparing to launch an attack on the Holy Land of Tula Leon. Final attack."
Under his eloquent narration, many gathered here, and the creatures who participated in this ceremony recalled the tragedy they had seen, and couldn't help sobbing.
"In order to protect our last holy place, I decided to violate the long-standing prohibition and wake up the chief guardian of the jungle, the sleeping wise man Yuk. And this is also the purpose of my summoning you here."
He turned around and looked at everyone in the arena. His eyes swept over the many creatures one by one. Instead of power and majesty, he was full of pleading.
Finally, he settled his gaze on a red-haired half-elf.
"The second seat of the guardian of the forest, the half-elf hero Gru, do you have any objections to awakening the wise man Yuk?"
"No objection. Masaiah, you are a great elf, and the jungle warriors will always remember your greatness." The red-haired half-elf replied in a deep voice, with a flash of unbearable eyes.
Masiah nodded and looked in another direction.
"The third seat, holy unicorn Larael, do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection... I just miss you..." A unicorn exuding pure white light said softly, with a bit of sobs in his words.
He nodded heavily,
He looked at an elf with a gloomy face.
"The fourth seat, the elf hero Ivor, do you have any objections?"
"I have objections."
Yves' words instantly attracted the attention of all creatures in the field, and even the unicorn who had just finished speaking couldn't help glaring at him.
On the side, the corner of Jenny's mouth changed, and she whispered to Ive not far away: "Are you crazy? The personal grievances between us should not affect the progress of the entire ceremony."
Ivor glanced at her coldly, then looked at Masaiah in the field, and said loudly: "The knowledge acquired by the wise Yuke in his sleep is limited, and it is simply not enough for so many creatures to share."
"King of Eli, I understand that you want to use this knowledge to improve the strength of all the forest guardians, but the fact is that in this way, the improvement of each creature is very small, and it will not achieve the desired effect at all." Ivor narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"It seems you don't understand." Masiah sighed.
"I know exactly what I'm doing." Ivor raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "In order to maximize the effectiveness of this ceremony, I suggest only the top ten forest guardians, and those who are fighting against the necromancer In the battle, only creatures who have made contributions are eligible to participate in this ceremony."
Ivor's words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding creatures, and for a while, the surroundings were full of accusations against Ivor.
It was Masiah who signaled one after another, which stopped the surrounding creatures from talking. He shook his head, with a sad look in his eyes.
"Hero Yves, no matter how powerful an individual is, he can't defeat those necromancers. To protect the last holy place, we must work together, so as to have a chance of survival."
"You're wrong." Ive retorted with a gloomy expression, "Even if the weak creatures get the wisdom of Yuk, they can't change anything. They will just die one by one at the hands of the necromancer. Therefore, they are not eligible. Join this ceremony. The ones who really decide the direction of the battle will always be the top ten seats of the guardians of the forest."
"All the guardians of the forest have contributed to the protection of Eri, and they have the right to participate in this ceremony." Masiah persuaded.
"If you think that when the battle broke out, those who fought desperately on the front line were equivalent to their contribution to maintaining order in the forest, then I have nothing to say." Ivor said in a deep voice.
"Hmph." An elf in a green suit snorted coldly. She is the ninth seat of the forest guardian, Kailin, the leader of rangers and patrols. spirit."
"I agree with Yves."
Before Kailin finished speaking, a voice opposite to her came.
"Me too. The contribution made by the court mage in the battle is not comparable to that of the patrol soldiers."
Masaiah looked at this scene in surprise. In just a short moment, the elf Alisa and the dwarf Malcolm, who were the fifth and sixth seats of the forest guardians, expressed their support for Ivor. The palace mage organization has always been ambiguous on weekdays, but they did not expect to reach an agreement at this time.
"On behalf of the dragon in the green crown, I agree with Ive's opinion." In the field, a woman in a golden dress seconded.
Nearly half of the entire upper council in front of me agreed with Ivor. Even Masaiah had to seriously consider Ivor's suggestion.
"How could you make such a disrespectful request?" The unicorn shone with silver light scolded, "Gru, quickly find a way to persuade Masiah."
However, Facing the reminder of the unicorn, Gru shook his head while letting out a deep sigh.
Why doesn't Gru understand that if he wants to defeat the necromancer, he can only rely on the top ten forest guardians, but he will not propose to expel other creatures like Ivor, but will respect Masiah's choose.
"Great Elf King, it's time to give your order." As he said, Ive showed a painful expression on his face, "I respect your courage to use your life to awaken the wise man Yuk, in order not to let all these sacrifices be in vain, and to destroy all the undead Mage, please give me your last order."
"I..." Masiah's complexion turned pale, and she was speechless for a while.
"not like this!"
Hearing this sound, Jenny was startled. She followed the prestige and saw her apprentice approaching Yves at some point.
"All creatures are fighting to protect Eli. You can't deprive them of all their efforts just because they are weak." Sotofi retorted Ive's words.
Ivor glanced at the silver-haired elf in front of him, then closed his eyes and said, "But the fact is that those creatures with weak strength eventually became a member of the Necromancer's subordinates."
"They don't want to do this either, they just want to live." Sotofi said hastily.
"At the beginning of the battle, those necromancers didn't control so many undead creatures at all. But they found a way to focus on our weak points, those weak creatures, and animals in the forest." Yi Fu said with a gloomy face. "Sometimes I think, if there weren't so many ordinary creatures in Eri, those necromancers wouldn't be able to become a climate at all, let alone the current situation."
"You..." Ive's words caused an uproar in the field again, among them, the shining unicorn had a greater opinion on him, "As a member of the forest guardian, don't go to Thinking about how to protect Eri creatures, but complaining about those innocent creatures, how did you become the guardian of the jungle?"
Ive replied unceremoniously: "How did I become the guardian of the forest? I have killed more necromancers than all of you combined. From the first day I became a hero, I have Fighting against the Necromancer, what great achievements have you made?"
The unicorn Larael was speechless for a while, and then a dazzling flash of light burst out from the horns on the top of her head. She was completely irritated by Yves.
"Don't do this..." Elf King Masaiah put his hands on his forehead and said in pain.
Seeing Masiah's expression like this, the unicorn Larael's heart softened for a while, and the light above his head gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Ivor took the initiative to say: "It is my lifelong wish to eliminate the necromancers. Order, great king of elves, I will never let those necromancers take a step closer to the Holy Land of Tula Leon."
"You have deprived them of their last hope." Masaiah stomped his feet and scanned all the creatures in the field, "Without Yuk's wisdom, when the necromancers attack, maybe the top ten forest guardians can really Change the situation of the battle, but how many other creatures that you have expelled now can survive?"
"I can't control them!" Ivor said angrily, "Once the top ten forest guardians fail, is it possible for other creatures to survive? The evil necromancer will not just let them go."
"As long as the necromancer can be defeated, the sacrifice of those creatures is worthwhile." Ivor's indifferent eyes swept across all the creatures in the field, and all the eyes that met with them avoided.
Vaguely, a skull-like face appeared in front of Yves' eyes, with the jawbone wide open, as if mocking him, and Ives would never forget this face no matter what.
I don't know when, the phantom of the skeleton in front of him slowly dissipated, and Sotofi's face appeared in front of Ive's eyes. In a daze, Ive turned his body directly to Sotofi.
"It's not like this..." The corner of Sotofi's mouth dropped, and he asked with a sigh, "Master Yves, why did you save me before?"
Yves opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and finally looked in the direction of the Elf King, and replied, "It's just a matter of effort, I've forgotten it a long time ago."
"No. You saved me because you didn't want to see innocent creatures die like this. As an elf, you still feel pain for other creatures, but you just don't want to admit it." Sotofi approached Ive and said.
"Pain can't change anything, but Yuk's wisdom can." Ive looked at Sotofi with a firm expression, "I need this power to completely end that necromancer."
"Is that so..." Sotofi smiled bitterly, stopped persuading her, and returned to Jenny alone.
Looking at Sotofi who was gradually leaving, Ive felt a pang of pain in his heart for no reason, and even his will was shaken for a while.
Sotofi's face is very similar to the elf in Ive's memory, almost carved out of the same mold, which is why, back then, Ive took the initiative to save her.
However, at this moment, when recalling the face of that elf, what Eve saw in her eyes was not encouragement or gratitude, but a kind of disappointment.
Ive's heart throbbed. He had already killed so many necromancers, how could he still let her down?
The only possibility is that the culprit who caused all this is that the holder of the artifact has not died yet. Ive's act of expelling the other forest guardians is precisely to gain stronger power so that the undead can be killed. Mage execution.
But is that really the case? Ive was confused, and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab something in front of him, but he couldn't grab anything, and everything flowed through his fingers.
Just when Ive was confused, in the face of this level of disagreement, the upper council of Eri also started a provisional vote.
Including Eve, there were four votes in total, and they voted for expelling other creatures around them, leaving Yuk's wisdom to the top ten seats of the jungle guardian, Gru and Memphis abstained, and the other three voted for be opposed to.
"Masaiah, have you made a decision?" Seeing that Ive remained silent for a long time, Alisa, who was the fifth seat, asked the Elf King.
Masiah sighed: "I will not go against the will of the majority members of the council, since you have made such a decision, then..."
"Wait a minute." Ivor interrupted his words, "I've changed my mind. All creatures can stay and participate in this ceremony."
"What?" Several forest guardians who supported Ive looked at him in disbelief. This suggestion was first proposed by Ive. Anyone can change his mind, but he can't.
"What..." Sotofi exclaimed, also unable to believe what he heard, looking at Yves with surprise in his eyes.
