The concert was coming to an end.
Taylin stood at the front of the stage, and the song behind her slowly came to an end.
A message appeared in Taylin's sight. Josiah was reminding Taylin that nearly an hour and a half had passed.
But in Taylin's opinion, less than ten minutes had passed since she stood on the stage and sang to her heart's content, sharing her favorite music with the audience.
"Everyone, good times are always short." Although Taylin wanted to continue standing on the stage and sing a few more songs, Priest Olanca had sternly reminded Taylin that she couldn't force herself to continue.
Therefore, Taylin could only choose this suitable time to end the whole concert.
She heard the audience shouting things like "Don't go", and some of them even shouted at the top of their lungs.
After a moment of silence, Taylin continued to smile and put her lips close to the inscription stone with the amplifying effect.
"This will be the last song of the night. Thank you for your company. I will always stay here and never leave."
After gently placing her hand on her chest, Taylin said the name of the last song in a solemn voice.
"You · Are · Not · Alone."
This was a song that sounded very simple to Taylin, and it was also very simple to sing. Even the audience could sing along with the melody even if they hadn't heard it before.
But no matter how hard Taylin sang during the rehearsal, Josiah's answer was always shaking his head, which meant that he was not satisfied.
It seemed that there was another singer who sang far better than her in Josiah's eyes.
But Josiah still asked Taylin to sing this song as the finale.
The slow music gradually sounded.
When the audience heard the prelude, they instantly understood that it was another song that they had never heard before.
Taylin sang the first line softly, and then raised her hand high.
Below the stage, most of the audience also began to wave their glowing staves along with Taylin's rhythm.
For a moment, the surroundings became extremely quiet. Only Taylin's gentle singing and the accompaniment could be heard.
Wave after wave of 'waves' appeared in the ocean created by the radiance of the short staff.
This song was indeed very simple. When Taylin sang the second part, the audience below also hummed along with the rhythm of the song.
In the end, the entire Magic Arena reverberated with the sound of this song, just like the lyrics …
You will never be lonely!
As the concert came to an end, fireworks erupted around the stage and rose into the sky, illuminating the night sky of Noland.
Taylin looked at the dazzling scene in front of her, and with tears in her eyes, she once again sent her blessings to the audience.
"Thank you, everyone!"
When the last fireworks disappeared from the sky, the concert was officially announced to have come to an end.
… …
Late at night.
"Twig, do you need a handkerchief?"
After the concert, Ahr was sitting in the magic car driven by the Dark Elf. She sharply noticed that Twig's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"No need." Twig tilted her head and looked out the window.
Even in the middle of the night, humans could still be seen holding glowing staves everywhere on the streets. Tonight seemed to have become a special festival.
Twig recalled everything she saw at the concert, and then looked at the short staff in her hand. At that moment, she really hoped that the night would never end.
"Are you leaving the human city?"
The Dark Elf was still the driver of the car. She looked through the interior mirror at the three High Elves sitting in the back seat.
"I hope to see the Holy Tree Enluci again."
Elder Sindonar's eyes were also looking out the window, as if he was deep in thought. He then turned his head and said to the Dark Elf.
The Dark Elf did not give an answer. She drove the magic car straight to the center of Noland.
The center of Noland was where the Mage Tower of the Seven Sages and the Sage's Tower were located. Other than some Sage's apprentices and the Sages themselves, no one else was allowed to enter.
The Sage's Council in the center was also surrounded by a powerful Mana Barrier.
"You can't drive from here."
The Dark Elf stopped the magic car in front of a tower and said to the High Elves behind her.
Elder Sindonar, Twig, and Ahr alighted from the magic car and looked up at the magnificent tower in front of them.
The tower itself was undoubtedly built by humans, but the Mana Barrier around it was not made by humans.
"Elder." Twig sensed the Mana waves around her and seemed to notice something. Elder Sindonar waved his hand, indicating that she did not need to care.
"This place feels like home," Ahr suddenly said after looking around.
"Unfortunately, this is the center of Noland, not your home."
The Dark Elf stood outside the Mana Barrier. Suddenly, an eye made of light opened on the Sage's Tower.
The eye stared at the Dark Elf for a long time, and a tiny crack appeared in the Sage's Tower.
"It's my first time here, so be careful."
After instructing the three High Elves behind him, the Dark Elf walked into the barrier.
Elder Sindonar felt the rich life force the moment he entered the Mana Barrier.
Vines also began to grow on the ground.
After about three minutes, Elder Sindonar followed the Dark Elf to the side of a huge pit.
In the center of the crater, Elder Sindonal once again saw Taylin, who was dressed in a black gown.
A group of people surrounded Taylin, including the Blackwood Elf Priest, the five Sages of Noland, and … the Watcher!
"Enluci, once you take root here, it means that you will be with the humans of this city from now on."
Priest Olanca looked at the white cat on Taylin's shoulder.
The World Tree had grown to the point where it could take root here, officially living in the form of a tree in this world.
The white cat nodded slightly, indicating that it had made the decision to take root in the center of Noland.
"We swear in the name of the humans that we will fulfill this ancient contract."
The oldest High Elf in white stood in front of Taylin, a contract made of silver light floating in the air.
This contract came from the underground ruins. When Taylin brought the World Tree here, it automatically appeared in the air.
The guardian of the Holy Tree.
Elder Sindonar looked at this scene with complicated feelings. In the recorded history of the elves, there had never been a human who became the guardian of the Holy Tree.
"Are you sure, Enluci?"
Suddenly, a Shiratori appeared on Sindonar's shoulder. It flapped its wings and landed between the cat and the High Elf in white.
The white cat sprung out its sharp claws and waved them at the white bird a few times in a threatening manner.
"Stubborn!"
Shiratori sighed and looked at Josiah, who was standing behind Taylin.
"But this may be an unchangeable choice."
The moment it flapped its wings, Josiah raised his arm subconsciously and let the Shiratori land on it.
"Watcher … I see a special soul in your eyes." Shiratori tilted its head in confusion. "But everything you do is very interesting."
Even a bird can talk now?
Before Josiah could complain, it stretched out its sharp claws and placed a strange crystal in Josiah's palm before disappearing.
Josiah looked at the crystal in his hand. The magic it contained did not seem like an ordinary crystal.
"Could that bird be the consciousness of the World Tree of the High Elves?" Hiri whispered in Josiah's ear.
"That's right. And it seems to have given me an invitation."
After Josiah put the crystal away, he looked at the cat squatting on the ground again.
"Since Taylin has made up her mind, let's plant the seed," said Josiah.
Taylin nodded slightly. After looking around at everyone, a pale green light was released from her body.
The ground began to tremble slightly. A large number of vines and green grass grew in the barren pit.
Along with the bright light, a tree only as tall as a person appeared in front of Josiah.
"This looks like the apple tree I planted when I was young …" said Hiri as she looked at the tree.
"Uh … Hiri?"
Josiah pointed at the white cat sitting on Hiri's head. The white cat seemed to be very displeased with Hiri's comment.
"Enluci will soon regain its former glory."
Priest Olanca walked to the sapling, which was only as tall as a man, and touched its branches with his hand.
"It won't take long for your World Tree to grow as well," Josh said.
Priest Olanca no longer doubted Josiah's words. The Chaos Demon had fulfilled all the promises he had made.
"Next is …" Josiah looked at the three High Elves that the Dark Elf had brought. "Do you have anything to say?"
"I have witnessed many miracles today."
Elder Sindonal walked forward, but his eyes fell on the crystal in Josiah's hand.
"Our race's holy tree, Athelome, has approved of you, warden."
Sindonal knew that he was probably the one who had the least right to interfere with Enluci's decision to take root in Noland.
"Take this crystal and head to the extreme north. We will welcome you there," said Sindonal, turning to leave with the leaves and Ahr.
The mission had undoubtedly failed. Faced with the five Sages of Noland, Sindonal did not want to stay in the city for too long.
"Wait!" Josiah called out to the High Elf Elder.
When he turned around, he subconsciously reached out to catch the things that Josiah had thrown at him.
They were a crystal of the holy tree, Enluci, and a bag of raw crystals.
"Those raw crystals are the clients of the Magic Net." Josiah pointed at Ahr and the leaves behind Sindonal. "At least they won't be too bored after leaving Noland."
Too bored?
Sindonal had never come into contact with the Magic Net, so he could not understand what Josiah meant. However, there was no dangerous aura in the raw crystals, so he temporarily accepted them as a gift.
As for the crystal of the holy tree, Enluci, it was definitely a holy item that represented friendship to the High Elves.
Finally, under Josiah's gaze, the three High Elves left the center of Noland under the escort of the Dark Elves.
"It's about time to start the next step of construction."
