The next day, Kil'Leen gathered all of us and brought us to the elven druid temple.
Killeen saw that we didn't quite understand, so he explained that the Druid Temple was a sacred place for the elves. The spokesperson of the Moon God, the Archdruid, lived there. The Archdruid was the most beautiful and intelligent female High Elf chosen by the Moon God.
After introducing us, Killeen asked us to go with him to the Druid Temple. The Archdruid wanted to see us.
So, everyone rode on their horses and headed to the Druid Temple under Killeen's lead. The group passed through the short forest and traveled on the rugged path for about ten Deri. Finally, a different scenery appeared in front of us.
A wide river flowed down from the cliff like a jade belt. It was as if millions of fierce beasts were fighting, roaring, and finally wrestling with each other as they tumbled down, splashing pearls and jade all over the valley. Clouds of mist rose, and there were also some that hit the rocks on the shore, creating millions of splashes. Under the sunlight, the splashes turned into colorful water droplets.
At the bottom of the cliff was a small lake formed by the falling river. On the open ground beside the lake was a temple. The temple looked a little old, but it couldn't hide the majesty and glory of the past.
Everyone arrived in front of the temple. The roar of the waterfall was still ringing in their ears.
An elf girl in blue came out to greet us. She looked very young, but her face was covered with a thin veil.
But even that veil couldn't hide her beauty. If she were to take off her veil, there would be no words in the world that could describe her beauty.
The elf girl told us that the Archdruid had invited everyone into the inner sanctum. The ancient sanctum was tall and solemn. A statue stood at the front of the hall. It was a statue of a goddess holding the sun, moon, and stars. Her face was also covered with a veil.
The Archdruid was called Eosa. She was almost on the same level as Elf King Ailovis in the elven kingdom.
Killeen said, "Archdruid Eosa, these are the people from the Demon Hunter's Blade. They're here for this mission."
"Come with me, everyone. I have something to show you." Druid Eosa's face was expressionless.
Everyone followed Druid Eosa to the back of the temple. There were guards there, and it seemed like it was very important.
Seeing that the Great Druid had come in person, the guards respectfully let everyone in.
There was a spring in it, about two or three demitrons wide. Beside the spring, there was a tall tree. The tree was ridiculously tall. It was at least a few hundred meters tall and a few dozen meters thick. Its leaves were also emitting moonlight.
"This is the Holy Moon Tree. The spring and the well next to it are the holy spring and the holy well. The water from the holy well is the holy water. The Holy Moon Tree thrives because of the holy water," Druid Eiosa explained.
"The secret I discovered was told to me by the Moon God Shala through the mirror image in the holy well. This is what I saw in the holy well the other day. The power of darkness is reviving. The Wing of Destruction is gathering the forces of darkness. Delamere, the leader of the dark elves, has joined the Wing of Destruction and fallen to become the Enchanter Delamere. Soon, the power of darkness will descend upon the land of Hadilador again. The flames of war will devour and destroy all races. "Druid Eosa explained.
"So, warriors. Before Delamere's wings are fully grown, you must find him and destroy him, "Killeen explained.
At the same time, in a hidden underground nest in the Dark Forest.
"Mina, is there any news from the elves?" A pale-faced Elf man wearing a black cloak, a dark golden Elf crown on his head, and a metal belt with a skull pattern on his waist said as he sat on a broken throne.
"Your Majesty Delamere, the elves have invited some help." An extremely flirtatious looking elf woman with flame-like long red hair replied. Her clothes were extremely revealing, and she was dressed in extremely revealing clothing.
"I only hope to get the results I want. I don't care about the process. I'll leave those annoying ants to you. No one is allowed to disturb our plan." Delamere said expressionlessly.
"Yes, your majesty. However, I heard that those people were the ones who killed Mávila's Demon Hunter's Blade. "
"Don't you understand what I mean? I only care about the results. I don't care about the process. Anyone who dares to stop me will die. "Delamere grabbed Mina's neck and said furiously.
"Yes … Yes, your majesty." Mina struggled with all her might, but she was too weak.
Delamere let go and Mina fell to the ground. She had almost suffocated to death.
"Leave. Don't bother me."
On our side, we actually managed to invite the legendary ranger Meldas to join us. The reason was simple. Our goal was the same, and that was to kill the Warlock Delamere. Thus, with the legendary ranger Meldas leading the team, we embarked on a journey to find Delamere. Meldas, Flants, Kevin, Avina, Mayfair, Natalia, and me made a total of seven people.
After a day of travel, we arrived at the entrance of the Dark Forest in different directions.
The Dark Forest stretched endlessly. According to Killian, there were many fierce beasts and poisonous snakes in the Dark Forest, as well as magical beasts and unknown enemies. The trees here were all sentient and could be fatal. Thus, we had to be extremely careful when we entered the forest.
We followed the river into the forest and planned to find a suitable place to put down our luggage and set up camp for the night. Flants and I set up our tents and used thick furs to keep out the cold. Flants placed the blankets and other items inside the tent and hung the weapons on the walls.
After setting up, Flants and I took our axes and went to chop down trees nearby. The others were busy with their own things. I found a few small trees and started chopping. These trees were very hard and very tiring to chop, but I was full of energy. I chopped a large bundle of firewood and carried it back to the place where we set up camp. Avina told me to eat some rations, drink some water, and rest for a while.
We had to make a campfire before the sky turned dark because the wild beasts in the mountains would come out to look for food at night.
At night, we finally settled everything in the camp. Avina and Mayfair also picked some edible wild fruits and brought them back. Everyone made a campfire and it was time for Kevin to show off his skills. Not only was this guy proficient in machinery and gunpowder, his cooking skills were also impeccable.
Kevin used the ingredients he carried with him and the wild rabbits Meldas caught. He used his exquisite cooking skills to make a pot of steaming wild rabbit soup.
Everyone sat in front of the campfire and tasted the fragrant wild rabbit soup.
"Fortunately, Kevin is with us." I couldn't stop praising Kevin's delicious wild rabbit soup. Everyone else also praised him, making Kevin feel a little embarrassed.
Not long after, everyone entered their tents and lay down in their sleeping bags. I was the first watch at night, so I guarded the campfire to protect everyone from being attacked while they slept.
The next day, the sun in the forest shone through the thick leaves and onto the ground. The birds began to sing diligently. I stretched my body and got up. Everyone had already gotten up. He walked to the river and washed his face. Then, he fetched some water from the river.
