Freedom, just like that?
There was no torture, no punishment …
This trip to the prison was slightly different from what Elder Sindonar had envisioned.
Elder Sindonar was "escorted" by the yellow-robed man to an extremely unfamiliar room.
Just as Elder Sindonar was wondering what the humans were up to, the door on the other side of the room was pushed open. A silver-haired, gray-eyed elf walked into the room.
Elder Sindonar didn't just need to know the elf's identity. The white cat on her shoulder was enough to tell him everything.
"Holy Tree Enluci." Elder Sindonar immediately bowed to the elf in an extremely ancient manner. "I didn't expect to see you under such circumstances."
The white cat didn't seem interested in Elder Sindonar's bow. It yawned and gradually disappeared from Taylin's shoulder.
"Are you Elder Sindonar?" Taylin looked the elderly elf up and down. "Leaf and Ahr have been waiting for you outside for a long time. Hurry up and leave with me."
"Did they find you?" Elder Sindonar began to guess how he had been "acquitted" by the humans.
"We'll talk about this in the carriage. Let's go this way."
Elder Sindonar noticed that the Frost Elf was very anxious. He wordlessly followed behind Taylin. Along the way, Elder Sindonar vaguely felt that someone was watching him.
Taylin brought Elder Sindonar to the alley behind the Noland Law Enforcement Department. The Dark Elves' magic carriage was parked in the alley.
"Elder Sindonar …"
Seated in the carriage, Ahr waved at Elder Sindonar.
The elf elder looked at the strange magic carriage and hesitated for a moment before sitting in the back seat.
Leaf and Ahr both sat in the back seat. What surprised Elder Sindonar was that he saw a Dark Elf in the carriage.
But compared to finding out the origin of the Dark Elf, Elder Sindonar had something more important to do.
"Host of the Holy Tree Enluci, may I know your name?" Elder Sindonar asked Taylin, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Taylin … Enluxi would be the best surname." Taylin turned around and said with a smile.
Was this Frost Elf really the singer of that song?
"Taylin … We are elves from the Sky City of Assequero. We are here to welcome you to our home, which will become your other home."
Elder Sindonar told Taylin the purpose of their visit. The High Elf elder was unwilling to stay in the human city for another second.
Before Taylin could reply to Elder Sindonar, the dark elves started up the magic carriage's engine.
"Damn it, grab the handles on both sides. I think we've been discovered," the Dark Elf said to the three High Elves in the backseat.
"Handles?"
Elder Sindonar didn't know what was going on, but he noticed that Twig, who was sitting at the side, instantly grabbed onto the protruding part of the roof. Ahr, who was sitting in the middle, immediately grabbed onto Twig.
Before the elder could react to what had happened, the engine behind him, powered by magic power, exploded with the sound of inscriptions shattering.
Then, Elder Sindonar felt a huge force pressing him down on the seat. He couldn't move, and the scene in front of him instantly retreated.
The strange magic-guided machine galloped on the road with its hooves!
"What happened!? Who discovered us? "
Elder Sindonar grabbed the handle on the door and asked the driver in a loud voice.
"Humans." The Dark Elf glanced at the alley behind them through the rearview mirror. "To be precise, it's Miss Taylin's fan."
"Song Riddle …" Elder Sindonar heard the strange term and noticed that there were humans gathering on both sides of the road, calling for something. "What are those humans doing? To capture us? "
Elder Sindonal looked out the window at the group of people driving. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a group of hunters hunting a rampaging reindeer. However, this reindeer was very agile and cunning. It nimbly bypassed the group of hunters, found the right path, and continued galloping away.
"Elder Sindonar, they … probably just want my autograph," Taylin explained.
"Autograph?"
Elder Sindonar thought he had seen enough after living for more than 1,300 years.
But today, he encountered a lot of things that he couldn't understand.
"Literally. The humans only wanted Taylin to sign her name on a staff or a piece of paper," the dark elf explained impatiently. "That's what I meant.
Such a simple request?
Elder Sindonar looked out the window again. He didn't say something stupid like, "Then why don't we just satisfy them?"
Because the number of humans on both sides of the street was frightening, Elder Sindonar used his special elven vision to sharply capture the fanatical expressions on some of the humans' faces.
If the magic carriage stopped here, it wouldn't be long before it was surrounded by humans from all directions!
Undead Army!
For some reason, this phrase popped up in Elder Sindonar's mind.
It was a long journey. Elder Sindonar swore that it was far more difficult than hitching a ride on a dragon's carriage.
There were even a few times when the magic carriage was about to hit a passerby, but the Dark Elf dodged it at an unbelievable angle.
Finally, the Dark Elf drove the magic carriage into the magic arena. The moment it stopped, the Dark Elf looked at the three high elves behind him through the interior mirror.
Compared to the last time they rode in the carriage, Leaf and Ahr seemed much more used to it. Elder Sindonar looked a little dizzy.
"Taylin, you should leave this city as soon as possible."
Elder Sindonar took a deep breath and reminded Taylin, who was about to open the door.
"I know it's unbelievable for humans to worship elves, but those human worshippers are a little too dangerous."
"Everyone isn't like this usually. Perhaps today is a special day."
It was Taylin's first time encountering such a situation.
The people of Noland were celebrating today as a festival. Before the concert even started, everyone was already immersed in the atmosphere.
"Taylin, you're 13 minutes late."
Josiah knocked on the magic carriage's window, and Taylin immediately opened the door and walked out.
"Uh … I'm sorry, Mr. Josiah. When I went to the law enforcement department, a law enforcer asked for my autograph …"
"There's no need to explain. Qianmian, take Taylin to the prepared room." Josiah pointed at another entrance of the magic arena.
The Dark Elf also got out of the magic carriage and led Taylin to the entrance Josiah pointed at.
"Wait!"
Elder Sindonar immediately got out of the carriage, but Taylin looked back at him and gave him an apologetic smile before hurriedly leaving with the Dark Elf.
"I'm Taylin's employer."
Josiah looked at the elderly elf elder. It seemed like he wasn't as easy to convince as the two young High Elves.
"Warden …?" Elder Sindonar recognized Josiah at a glance. The expression on his face was once again replaced by shock, but he quickly recovered. "Warden, thank you for protecting the holy tree of the Frost Elves. Please persuade her to return to our home, Assequero, with us."
"Why?" Josiah asked.
"This human city's worship of the Host of the Holy Tree is too crazy. She'll face the threat of the Grey Fog at any time. I can assure you that our home, Assequero, is absolutely safe."
Elder Sindonar stared at Taylin, who had already disappeared. He was about to do something, but he was once again stopped by Josiah.
"Safe? High Elves who have come from afar, have you misunderstood something? "
Josiah glanced at Elder Sindonar, Leaves, and Ahr. While the three High Elves were trying to persuade Taylin, Josiah had been listening quietly at the side.
Although Taylin smiled and rejected them every time, only Josiah knew that the Frost Elf was feeling terrible.
"Misunderstanding …"
"So what if Noland is dangerous to the Frost Elf?" Josiah said. "The humans in this city love her and worship her. That's enough."
Elder Sindonar seemed to be angered by Josiah's words.
Josiah's words could make the High Elf Elder think that Taylin was some kind of tool.
"High Elves who have always lived in a world isolated from the rest of the world, guess what the Frost Elf, who has lost her tribe and was forced to leave her homeland, wants to do the most right now?" Josiah's gaze swept across everyone present. Elder Sindonar's anger was instantly choked in his chest.
"Revive her tribe, and let the Holy Tree of her tribe … grow into a towering ancient tree." Josiah's voice was very soft, but it made Elder Sindonar's brain go numb.
"Unknown danger? An attack from the Grey Fog? That lady is prepared to face these dangers, which is why she is standing on that stage! " The cold expression on Josiah's face was replaced by a smile. "So all you have to do is sit in the audience and quietly listen to her performance."
The three High Elves fell into a strange silence. Ahr wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Leaf's outstretched hand.
During this time, the Dark Elf had returned to Josiah's side.
"Before we leave, please let us see," Sindonar said.
Under Josiah's signal, the Dark Elf brought the three High Elves to the audience in the magic arena.
Only Josiah and Hiri were left, who had approached Josiah from behind the scenes with her staff in hand.
"I think what you said just now could be added to some classic dialogue," Hiri said softly.
"Did you come here just to complain? Is the stage effects done? "
Josiah glanced at the Spellcaster lady. She should be preparing behind the scenes with her mentor.
"It's done a long time ago. My mentor asked me to confirm it with you."
"Alright, it's about time to go to the audience."
