As long as someone started something, they would naturally muster up the courage of their followers. Two more elders stepped forward to protest.
Sheyan simply waved his hand in the face of such a challenge.
"Very well, then the City of Dawn will not hold you back. You may return to Rivendell!"
The three Elven elders angrily retorted.
"You have no right to decide where we go!"
Sheyan smiled and said.
"If you want Lady Melody to personally chase you away, that's easy. Wait till I'm done with my matters here."
More Elven elders stepped forward to complete the magic formation on Glorfindel's body. In the end, a total of six Elven elders participated. After the magic formation was completed, Glorfindel could no longer speak. He could only make ferocious growls from his throat. The runes of the magic formation coiled around his skin like melted gold and seeped into his skin bit by bit like tattoos!
Annenia Cyathea waved his hand and Glorfindel floated up from the ground. The six Elven elders also began to emit a faint golden glow. They surrounded Glorfindel and continued walking into the depths of the cave.
The three elven elders who didn't act wanted to follow, but after taking a few steps, a distinct light barrier appeared in front of them. Though the light barrier was weak, it contained an inviolable dignity that blocked them outside. Nevertheless, Sheyan swaggered in, as though the light barrier didn't affect him at all.
One of the Elven elders wanted to follow suit, but when he touched the light barrier, he suddenly screamed in pain. A burn mark appeared on his skin where the light barrier came in contact with. He hurriedly used nature magic to heal it, but the burn mark remained on his skin like a brand.
"God only needs the most devout servants," a drawling voice drifted over from afar. "Unfortunately, you have disappointed God."
The three Elven elders looked at each other. An ominous feeling welled up in their hearts.
The group seemed to have walked in the darkness for a long time, but also seemed to have walked in the darkness for only a moment. A huge cave appeared in front of them. There were five holes in the ceiling of this cave. Although they were at the bottom of the mountain, there was blazing sunlight shining in from each hole.
The five rays of sunlight represented the five great glories of the Sun God: Light, Warmth, Glory, Majesty and Heat. The sunlight here was created by the Sun God Sin'dorei's miracle. It would never dissipate.
Annenia Cyathea's eyes were deep as he chanted an incantation. The five rays of sunlight slowly moved to Glorfindel's limbs and head. The magic formation on his body also shone brightly!
Glorfindel roared in pain. He floated in the air and struggled violently, but it was to no avail.
Gradually, the light all around him turned dark... This didn't mean that the Sun God's miracle had disappeared. It was just that the five rays of sunlight had been completely absorbed as soon as they were produced and converted into Divine Power for the teleportation portal. Of course, this would cause the cave to fall into a state of darkness.
Following that, a few red dots of light suddenly appeared on the walls and intertwined in the air. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were the insignia of the Sun God Sin'dorei! Then various crisscrossing light trails appeared in the air, forming a perfect combination of the Sun God Sin 'dorei's statue. And now, the entire cave itself seemed to have formed a mysterious and incomparably huge magic array!
Soon, Glorfindel's face was completely distorted. He couldn't make a single sound. His body started to emit an intense green light. Then, he slowly floated up into the air and started moving again. He looked like he was being held in the palm of the Sun God. The dark green light emitted from his body became even more intense. Finally, the light condensed into six indescribable emerald balls of light and floated in front of the six Elven elders.
"I, Annenia Cyathea, hereby swear that the glory of the Sun God will forever shine on my soul! I am willing to become the most loyal follower of the Sun God Sin'dorei! "
Annenia Cyathea's pious voice rang out. Compared to the other five Elven elders, he knew the meaning of this magic formation ritual the best. If this powerful Elven elder was still doubtful of Sheyan's words before, after witnessing Brother Paul's performance of capturing Glorfindel alive, he no longer doubted Sheyan's words!
"This, this is the vow of a fanatic!" The other five Elven elders were shocked!
Following Annenia Cyathea's vow, the emerald balls of light floating in front of him slowly turned golden. They then entered Annenia Cyathea's body. When the balls of light completely entered Annenia Cyathea's body, his magic power began to grow rapidly. The shackles that had troubled him for 196 years disappeared just like that. Annenia Cyathea's power reached a whole new level!
Because the emerald balls of light he absorbed contained 10% of Glorfindel's power!
The power of all things came from the sun. Only the Sun God Sin'dorei could convert all power into the divine power of the Sun God and inject it into the bodies of his fanatics! Annenia Cyathea was a person who pursued power. That was why he took this step so decisively!
The other five Elven elders were also shocked. They finally understood. Although 10% of Glorfindel's power was incredible, becoming a fanatic meant that they would be under the control of Melody Sunstrider for the rest of their lives. At the same time, they would also become Glorfindel's lifelong enemy. They had no choice but to hesitate!
But while they were hesitating, Elder Annenia Cyathea, whose power had greatly increased, suddenly knelt down and loudly chanted:
"Oh great Sun God, your believer is willing to use everything he has to worship you. Please give me more power."
Annenia Cyathea's act of "selling himself" immediately earned him greater favor from the Sun God Sin'dorei. The emerald balls of light in front of the other hesitant Elven elders were once again enveloped in golden light. Then, five golden rays of light were forcibly pulled away!! They once again dissolved into Annenia Cyathea's body!
His magic power soared once again! It could be said that he was only one step away from becoming a hero on par with Legolas and Galadriel!
At this moment, the Elven elder who participated in the drawing of the magic circle could no longer hold himself back. He immediately followed suit and swore an oath of fanaticism to absorb Glorfindel's energy. He didn't hesitate to sell himself to the Elven elders and absorb a portion of the energy from the other four Elven elders.
The other Elven elders snapped out of their daze and swore their oaths one after another. However, the Elven elder who swore the oath was the unluckiest. After being absorbed by so many others, only 5% of Glorfindel's power remained in his body. He received the least benefit.
The biggest winner of this ceremony was, without a doubt, Elder Annenia Cyathea. Previously, his strength was only below average among all the elven elders, but now that he had won the bet, he was secretly the most powerful person below Melody. It could be said that the position of Chief Elder was his for sure.
After witnessing this scene, Sheyan was finally relieved. With this, the upper echelons of Dawn City would be established. They would all be made up of fanatics of the Sun God Sin 'dorei. Even if Melody was a little naive or foolish, her position would be as stable as Mount Tai.
More importantly, the six Elven elders had completely stolen Glorfindel's power to ascend to their positions. It was impossible for them to compromise with Glorfindel.
Sheyan's lips curled into a cold smile. The six Elven elders still needed to pray and cultivate in the Holy Land for a while to consolidate their new power. He grabbed Glorfindel's hair and dragged him out like a dead dog.
When they were outside, Sheyan handed Glorfindel over to two elite Dwarven warriors. He then returned to the highest point of Dawn City and said to all the Elves.
"Although Glorfindel came with malicious intentions and tried to insult our faith and ruin our happy lives, after leading him to witness the might of the Sun God Sin'dorei, the merciful Melody Sunstrider has decided to forgive his rudeness and let him return to Rivendell to repent for his blasphemy."
The Elves did not expect such a thing to happen. They thought that Glorfindel being imprisoned would be the best outcome for him. If Melody was a little more ruthless, she might even kill him.
However, when they saw Sheyan tossing Glorfindel onto a canoe and letting him go, many Elves could not help but believe their eyes. They cheered for Melody Sunstrider's benevolence.
In fact, this was also the result of Sheyan's careful consideration. The time he could stay in this world was limited. Dawn City's defence was already very good. It did not matter if Glorfindel lived or died, let alone Glorfindel who only had 40% of his power left.
Moreover, as long as he was alive, he would be a huge threat to the six Elven elders who had absorbed his power. With external pressure, the six Elven elders would naturally behave themselves. They would not put their minds on internal strife. Of course, the political tactics involved would not be revealed to outsiders.
