The Calan Continent.
As one of the only two large continents in the Faern Plane, the Calan Continent was also a beautiful world with rich resources and many creatures.
As far as the eye could see, the entire Calan Continent was covered in lush, dense forests.
The ancient trees in the forest were tall and strong, easily dozens of meters high, and the huge canopies that stretched out were often acres in size. The branches and leaves of the ancient trees danced, and the vines coiled around them. All kinds of colorful and unknown birds stood on the branches and sang happily. The lush ferns and shrubs under the tree filled the quiet and dark woodland to the brim, making it difficult to find a place to rest.
Ordinary people could hardly move an inch in such a magical forest!
This was a remote area near the coastline of the Calan Continent.
Only here did the tall ancient trees seem a little sparse. Even their heights were much shorter than the ones in the mainland. At the edge of the coastline, there were steep cliffs and large reefs everywhere. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and washing against the shore was deafening, making people feel excited every time they heard it.
The undulating waves on the surface of the sea sparkled. The blue sea, the blue sky, the green water, in addition to the boundless sea of trees, as well as the cries of apes and the roars of tigers that rang out from the forest from time to time, the beautiful natural scenery was pregnant with vigorous vitality and hope.
However, at this time, a few black dots suddenly appeared in the depths of the forest. They stuck close to the undulating treetops and quickly approached from afar, arriving at this coastline.
This was a team of Silver Pegasus Knights, unique to the Elven Kingdom.
The Elven Knight was riding on a tall steed that was covered in a thin layer of soft silver armor and had a pair of wide wings on its back.
The Silver Pegasus, like its name, shone with silver light, and could be clearly seen from dozens of miles away. It had four broad hooves, a long, silver dyed horse mane, a strong and vigorous body, and a pair of wide wings that could freely soar in the blue sky while riding the wind …
This kind of Pegasus was a magical beast born in the depths of the Magic Forest near a special magic spring. It had the appearance of a horse, the speed of an eagle, and the noble and elegant temperament of a unicorn. Therefore, the forest elves deliberately domesticated this magical beast and used it as the mounts of some high-grade knights, forming the most eye-catching flying force in the Elven Kingdom – Silver Lightning.
They may not be as fierce as griffins, nor as powerful as hippogryphs, but they had the fastest flying speed in the Calan Continent and the most eye-catching appearance.
Well, the eye-catching appearance may not help in combat, but the Silver Pegasus Knights were still voted as the most popular combat profession among the elven girls in the Elven Kingdom. Almost no elven girl could refuse the invitation of the Silver Pegasus Knights to stroll in the forest and admire the scenery.
Therefore, from all aspects, the Silver Pegasus Knights were the most elite troops of the Elven Royal Court. They were also the most favored and symbolic troops!
Usually, the Silver Pegasus Knights and their reserve Pegasus Knights would only patrol near the Elven Kingdom. Pegasus knights would only patrol near the Elven Kingdom. Their appearance here today meant that an important member of the royal family must have stayed nearby. Pegasus.
There were two Silver Pegasus Knights and three reserve Pegasus Knights.
When the Silver Pegasus Knights flew to the edge of the forest and were three meters away from the treetops, the leading Silver Pegasus Knight gently pressed on the back of the horse and jumped off.
In order to reduce the burden of riding the Silver Pegasus, the Silver Pegasus Knights usually only wore some light silver soft armor and carried light weapons. They also carried a small number of javelins and a large number of arrows in the leather pouch on the back of the horse.
At this time, the Silver Pegasus Knight didn't slow down. With a flap of its wings, it stepped on its four hooves and rushed into the sky, while the Silver Pegasus Knight gently fell down.
This Silver Pegasus Knight clearly had the world's lightest and most agile body. His strong body stepped on a thick branch, and with a slight crouch, he leaped up, then gently somersaulted a few times in the air and landed steadily on the high cliff at the edge of the coastline.
"Hergus, wait for me …"
The other Silver Pegasus Knight who came with him obviously didn't have such an agile body and soft body movements. He could only pat the Silver Pegasus beneath him twice, circling in the sky before flapping his wings to slow down and hover above the high cliff.
Only then did the Silver Pegasus Knight cautiously jump onto the high cliff.
Landing a little heavily, his silver leather boots stepped on the edge of the high cliff. Immediately, countless gravel tumbled down the cliff and fell into the foamy waves and reefs.
Cydaris, who was on duty for the first time, unwittingly broke out in a cold sweat. He patted his chest a few times to steady his breathing before he strode to Hegus' side.
At this time, the Silver Pegasus Knight who jumped first had already pulled out a monocular that glowed with silver light, and began to silently scan the distant sea surface.
"Hergus, you're so brave … You dare to jump down from such a high place … Aren't you afraid of falling into the sea and becoming food for the fishes?" While ridiculing his companion to his heart's content, Cadaris stuck his head out to look at the undulating waves and the dark, terrifying reefs below the cliff. Once again, he secretly patted his chest.
With such a height and such dense reefs, he would definitely be smashed to pieces if he fell!
Having lost the knight's control, the two Silver Pegasus happily chased each other on the nearby treetops, while the other three Pegasus Knights rode on their recently tamed Pegasus and found an empty space nearby to descend. They silently waited for the two Sir Knights' orders.
As the noble Silver Pegasus Knights of the elven race, be it Cadaris or Hergus, they were both classic good-looking men. Their figures were tall and strong, with solid muscles and rosy skin. They had long grass green hair, soft pointed ears, and a pair of blue eyes.
They wore light silver soft armor and skirt armor of the same color. On their feet were a pair of silver leather boots, and on their waists hung two silver scimitars.
Cadaris's skin was slightly fair, and his exquisite and perfect face carried a hint of childishness. His eyes were bright and twinkling, and he had an unforgettable lively aura. Although Hergus was equally handsome, his face was slightly stiff, and his every movement carried a trace of the coldness and capability of an iron-blooded soldier.
Cadaris muttered a few more words in a low voice, but did not get a response from his companion. He could not help but ask loudly out of curiosity, "What's wrong, Hergus? There's no sea fog today, and you can see everything on the sea with a glance. Why are you still strenuously looking? Are you worried about those human slave ships? "
Hergus silently put down the telescope, and said solemnly in a deep voice, "I'm not worried about the humans, but … those witches …"
Hearing his companion's reply, Cadaris blinked, not fully understanding.
"I heard that too … It's time for the 'Witch Calamity' to break out again! I'm afraid those witches will come from far away to harass us again … But the last few times have been much better. Those witches seem to know how powerful we are, and have invested most of their strength in the humans. Our losses these few times aren't that great … "
Compared to Cadaris's nonchalant attitude, Hergus was a little worried.
"Cadaris, you don't know …" Hergus hesitated for a moment, and finally said through gritted teeth, "I went to find Priestess Tia a few days ago …"
The moment he heard the name 'Tia', Cadaris immediately became nervous. He growled in a low voice, "You're crazy … How dare you come into contact with that crazy woman … Don't you know that people are calling her a black witch behind her back? It's said that the Elder Council is about to vote to expel Tia from the Illusory Forest … Are you trying to get in touch with her now? "
"Calm down, calm down … Let me finish …" Hergus sighed, "I don't think Priestess Tia did anything wrong."
"What did she do wrong? She's a subject of Sylsa, and yet she went to study the power of those witches. Isn't that a huge mistake? "
"But those hateful witches have been in our world for thousands of years, and have we ever driven them out? No! Not in the past, not now, and probably not in the future … Why? It's because they have magic that is far more powerful than ours, and it's the strange magic they call witchcraft … "
Hergus took a deep breath.
"If … If it's really as Priestess Tia envisioned, and Sylsa's people can learn those powerful 'witchcraft', we forest elves might really be able to become the rulers of Faern …" Leylin muttered.
Hearing Hergus's explanation, Cadaris could not help but shake his head.
"Hergus, I think you've been bewitched by Priestess Tia as well … Don't believe her words … What 'there's no good or evil in power', or 'it all depends on who controls the power' … Don't believe her, Hergus … I feel that there are good and evil powers in this world. Witches may be powerful, but they can bewitch and corrupt people's hearts. Otherwise, how could they have done so many evil and terrifying things? "
Hegus was silent for a long time before he finally spoke again.
"Don't you want to hear what Priestess Tia learned after studying the books left behind by the dead witches for so long?"
Listening to Hergus's heavy tone, Cadaris had an ominous premonition.
"What did she tell you?"
"She said that the witches who invaded our world were only a branch of a large force in the Sorcerer World. The 'Witch Calamity' that has been happening more and more frequently in recent years probably means that the forces of the witches have changed, and more and more witches have entered our world! "
Cadaris could not help but swallow his saliva with difficulty, and asked anxiously, "So what does this mean?"
"It means that our world has become the main target of the other party, and that there will be even more terrifying and evil enemies in this year's Witch Calamity! Blood Moon … Tia said she saw the Blood Moon … "Towards the end, Hergus was almost roaring as he grabbed his companion's shoulders.
"Blood Moon …"
