The Elven Council of Assequero was shrouded in a deathly silence.
The once sacred Assequero was now permeated with the stench of blood. A desolate sense of impending doom filled every corner.
"More than half of our people have died … It's time to consider the tree burial ritual."
An elder's voice broke the deathly silence of the entire Elven Council.
"We'll have to sacrifice a portion of our clansmen for the sake of Askro's survival," another elder suggested.
"Continuation? Assequero with every member of our people is the original Assequero! "
Elder Queytoan stood up immediately to refute their suggestion.
"Don't forget that our duty is to protect the holy tree, Queytoan. I know this decision is selfish, but I am the first sacrifice for the continuation of the holy tree," the elder said in a low voice.
"Calm down, there are other ways to save Assequero!"
Elder Sindonar could no longer maintain his silence at this moment.
"Other ways … Sindonal, what are you talking about?"
When the other three elders looked at him, an Elven Priestess hurriedly barged into the council.
"What's wrong? Did Assequero descend again? "
"No … it's the elders! You must come and take a look! A miracle … The miracle of the holy tree has happened! "
The Elven Priestess' voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.
"A miracle?"
The five elders had been praying for this word for too long. Apart from a miracle and a step closer to despair, they could not think of a third way to save Assequero.
The Elven Priestess' excited expression moved the elders. They immediately rushed down from their seats and followed the Elven Priestess.
…
Two minutes ago.
After Aurelia returned to Assequero, she was not immediately sent to the battlefield. Instead, she got a short break.
She returned to her room and began to maintain her bow and arrows. Along the way, she took out the protocrystal Josiah had given her and infused it with mana, projecting the images recorded by the protocrystal onto the wall.
Aurelia didn't think much of the interview with the man in black at first, but when she saw the part where she talked to Brass Dragon … Her hands trembled so much that she almost tore her bow apart!
Is this really me?
Aurelia had already stopped maintaining her bow and placed a pile of parts on the table.
The high elves' bow was a high-precision magic-guided machine. If anything were to happen to it, the entire bow would become useless.
Aurelia could barely accept the part where she refuted Brass Dragon's prejudice against the high elves. However, when she talked to Brass Dragon about movies, a mysterious sense of shame filled her heart.
This sense of shame reached its peak when Copper Dragon started reading the music reviews of the Weave.
Aurelia swore that if there was someone else watching the interview with her, she would choose to bury her head in a tree hole!
"Elder Sister Aurelia!"
“！”
Her friend Wen Enna suddenly opened the door to her room. Aurelia was so shocked that she almost threw the protocrystal in her hand to the ground and shattered it.
Fortunately, she immediately stopped the input of magic power, and the image on the wall disappeared without a trace at that moment.
"What's the matter?"
Aurelia had once again returned to her usual demeanor in the race — a cold and aloof leader.
"We're going to fight off the invaders," Wen Enna said.
"Can we finally continue?"
Aurelia picked up her longbow from the table. In the next second, the longbow instantly shattered into a large pile of complicated parts on the table.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.
"Do you want me to … wait for you to repair it?" Wen Enna asked softly.
"Wait for me for a moment."
Just as Aurelia picked up the tools to reassemble her longbow, a small ball of light suddenly appeared on her body.
This little bit of power of faith did not surprise Aurelia. Ever since her performance in Noland, one or two balls of light would appear on her body every hour or two.
This time, it wasn't just one or two. Aurelia's arm was already surrounded by a pale white light, and her body was also surrounded by countless balls of light.
"This is …"
Aurelian understood what was going on, but she still couldn't believe it.
"Elder Queiduan's plan succeeded!"
Wen Enna covered her mouth, tears could already be seen in her eyes.
"I have to let the other people see this."
Aurelia immediately left the room with Wen Enna. This scene was a miracle to any high elf!
Assequero had been continuously attacked, and the number of wounded in the city was increasing. This caused the morale of the entire Assequero to be very low. What happened to Aurelia was undoubtedly a dose of cardiotonic.
Aurelia brought Wen Enna all the way to the main hall of Assequero, where all the wounded were resting and receiving treatment.
More than half of the high elves were gathered here.
It was currently night time, and Assequero was planting some plants that emitted a faint light. Aurelia's posture, surrounded by the power of faith, attracted everyone's attention.
"Aurelia, is this … a blessing from the holy tree?"
The priests who were taking care of the wounded saw this scene and immediately surrounded her. Aurelia did not answer. The holy tree's incarnation, Shiratori, appeared above her.
The white light surrounding Aurelia was gradually absorbed by the Shiratori, and the light gradually formed a light pillar.
Assequero slowly began to shake again. This time, it did not mean that it was sinking, but gradually rising.
The elves who were resting in the hall widened their eyes at this miraculous scene. They knelt down one after another, including some of the severely injured high elves.
Aurelia looked at the surrounding elves who were looking at her with reverence, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!
She had always worked hard to gain the recognition of her people. She had to surpass Ahr and become a high elf elder.
This time, she had done what the elders could not, and Ahr was nowhere to be found.
"Elder Queiduan!"
She saw the five high elf elders rushing over from afar. Their eyes were filled with surprise and hope, and Aurelia enjoyed it very much.
"You did it …"
Elder Queiduan slowly came to his granddaughter's side, looking at the light surrounding her.
"Is this the holy tree's choice?"
When the elders saw this scene and Shiratori hovering in the sky, they all bowed to Aurelia to show their respect.
"You have passed the test to become an elder, my child," Elder Queiduan said. "You are the youngest elder in the history of the high elves."
The youngest elder.
Aurelia had longed for this title for too long, but she did not accept it.
All the high elves looked at Aurelia, and the five elders quietly waited for her reply. At this moment, melodious music suddenly reverberated throughout Assequero.
This song is … long live life?
