Although Lu Zhiyu had made some suggestions, they were just icing on the cake. Wendy wanted to see Lu Zhiyu because she was afraid and confused about the future of the elves. After all, this involved the reform and change of the entire race. Wendy needed a trustworthy elder to give her confidence, and Lu Zhiyu's position in her heart was far higher than anyone else's.
Lu Zhiyu attended the grand banquet held by the elves. The weather was good, and the night was clear and cloudless. The silver moon hung high in the sky, and the air seemed to be filled with a tranquil and melodious atmosphere.
The banquet was held in the square under the Tree of Life. Stairs extended from the top of the lake, and an arch bridge was built over the lake. The square was layered, and the water gushed out from the fountain at the top. The water flowed down the pool, and in the center of the pool, there were many elven statues.
The elves played the harp, and the elven maidens wore special green leafy skirts and wore flower crowns as they danced. The poets sang the love stories of the elven towns and villages far away, as well as the ancient legends of the gods. The bonfire flickered in the night, illuminating the entire area under the tree. Accompanied by the huge Tree of Life, the entire banquet was like a grand dream song.
A few naughty elf girls even placed their crowns on the heads of Lu Zhiyu, Wolfe, and Wendy, who were sitting beside them. Many members of the Elder Council also raised their glasses to Lu Zhiyu and saluted him.
"Thank you for the crowns, I like them very much!"
Wendy said to a few elf girls who looked like they were still underage. The elf girls all blushed and nodded excitedly. Wendy had a high prestige among the new generation of elves.
The food on the table was also very special. The elves liked to eat vegetarian food, but they did eat meat. There were many unique elven foods on the table.
"So, do you want to become the empress of the elven empire?"
Lu Zhiyu looked at the elf witch, who had a wise and deep look in her eyes. Compared to the young Wendy he had seen before, under the light of the bonfire, Wendy now looked even more charming. Time always made women mature, especially beautiful women.
"A few decades ago, um, it should be year 130 of the San Calendar. I remember that a ship came from the other side of the sea. It was a ship from the Alen Continent, but not from the tower. It was a fleet led by a young girl captain. She told me that her name was Marina Bossa, and she was a student of Akkad!"
Lu Zhiyu immediately remembered. "I remember her. She was a very lively little girl. Actually, in my eyes, Wendy, you are still a little girl!"
Wendy pursed her lips and smiled. "I'm already more than 300 years old. Even if I were to calculate it by the human lifespan, I'm not considered a young lady anymore!"
Wendy continued, "She came here with a mechanical alchemy life named Archimonde, which you gave her. She took out Archimonde's badge and asked to see me. She lived in the Corolla Tower for a while."
"At that time, she told me about a system called the Sean City-State Alliance, and I was very interested in it. It was different from the Council of Elders, where the ruler would be elected by the people. They called it the prime minister. I decided that the emperor of the Elf Empire would also be elected in this way, but the emperor would be a lifetime emperor. After his death, there would be a new election!
"Is it for life? Hmm, can such a system be implemented? Is it suitable for the elves? "
"Let's give it a try. As long as I am still here, there should be no problem!"
Lu Zhiyu nodded. "Akkad's student? Have we reached the era of the new generation of wizards? Akkad's student, Frank's student … Time flies. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed! "
Lu Zhiyu put down the cutlery and looked at the lake in the distance. The lake was rippling, reflecting the lively banquet. "How many are left?"
Wendy's eyes became sad. "Levis, Henry, Frank, Uruk, and Akkad are all dead. The other wizards of the first generation have also passed away in the past few decades. Only Katherine, Wolfe, and I are left. The first generation of wizards from the tower, your students, only the three of us are left!"
The music played by the elves was long and melodious. It was like a stream of spring water flowing in one's heart, reflecting memories and past events. Many people from the past kept appearing in front of one's eyes.
Lu Zhiyu closed his eyes and quietly listened to the elven music. After a long time, he opened his eyes, picked up the silver wine pot on the table, and poured a glass of translucent red fruit wine for himself and Wendy Wolfe.
Wendy looked at Lu Zhiyu and said, "Fate is really unfair. The most talented ones are all dead!
Those who are not talented enough are also dead!
In the end, only those of us who are neither up nor down are left! "
Wolfe said. "Wizards don't believe in fate. Everything is decided by our own choices, whether we succeed or fail. I think Frank, Akkad, and the others think the same way I do!"
"Generation after generation of Magi passed down the torch. Time cannot erase their traces!"
Lu Zhiyu raised his glass. "To the wizards!"
"To the wizards!"
"To the wizards!"
Wendy pursed her lips and smiled. She drank the wine in one gulp and raised her glass. "And to our own fate!"
Wendy seemed to be full of emotions when she saw Lu Zhiyu. Perhaps it was because the deaths of her old friends had given her a strong impact. After drinking a lot of wine, her face was red. She supported her thin chin with one hand and held the glass with the other.
"No matter how much time has passed, teacher, you haven't changed!"
Wendy looked at Lu Zhiyu with a pair of confused eyes. Lu Zhiyu was wearing a silver robe, which was similar to the one he wore in the wizard tower. His appearance was exactly the same. His long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and his eyes were always calm. No matter how his face changed, his eyes never wavered.
Lu Zhiyu shook his head. "Time changes people, and I am no exception. I have also changed. It's just that you don't understand me!"
Wendy covered her mouth and laughed. "Of course, you are the wisest wizard, Anthony the Great Sage. In our eyes, you are always so mysterious. You are like the wind, which we can't catch, and like the sun in the sky, which we can only see but never reach!"
Wendy seemed to be talking a lot under the influence of alcohol. Lu Zhiyu listened quietly until the silver moon turned from one end of the square to the other. The crowd in the square gradually dispersed, and Lu Zhiyu drank with her until the sun rose.
When the red sun gradually rose from the horizon, Lu Zhiyu looked at Wendy, who was sleeping soundly on the table. Her cheeks were red because of the alcohol, which made her look a little cute. Lu Zhiyu wrote a letter and sealed it. Then, he took off his silver robe and covered Wendy with it. Then, he turned around and left.
