The Twilight Sisters of the Wood Elves were quite mysterious.
Everyone knew that the elves were incredibly detailed in their historical records. Although the elves' historical records weren't as strict as the dwarves', they were still quite detailed.
However, the wood elves were different.
Of course, the wood elves had their own historical records as well, but the wood elves' historical records were rather … complicated.
To put it simply, the wood elves' historical records were usually from year XX, month XX, day XX of a "great season." These so-called great seasons were usually recorded as "Season of Rebirth," "Season of Apocalypse," "Season of Lost," or "Season of Forgotten." This made the wood elves' historical records quite fragmented and vague.
What was even worse was that these "great seasons" weren't continuous or independent. When one season ended, another would begin without a clear indication.
For example, the end of one season and the beginning of the next are often determined by the occurrence of major events, but some great seasons have not yet ended when the next great season has begun, or some great seasons have been declared to be over, but the sign of the beginning of the next great season has not yet arrived.
That was why many great seasons were interspersed with many "small seasons."
It was quite complicated and chaotic, wasn't it?
That's right. After a long period of time, even the wood elves themselves wouldn't be able to figure out the exact number of years recorded in their historical records. If this was a country with a noble or bureaucratic system, such chaos and inefficiency would be absolutely forbidden. However, the wood elves' social structure was close to that of a primitive clan society, so nobody cared that much.
Also, just like in the subspace, the flow of time in the Great Forest of Azoloth was chaotic. It was said that several tens of thousands of years had passed in some forest areas. In one particular forest, it was said that the King of the Forest, Ao Laing, had entered a bonfire for the very first time and was burned to ashes.
Another reason was that the wood elves' historical records contained far too many elements of romance. Their history was rarely fixed by written words. Rather than writing on parchment, the wood elves preferred to record their history through poems and legends. Bards and storytellers would go around telling stories of heroic deeds and major historical events.
This caused the true history to be greatly distorted by thousands of years of stories and artificial edits.
If one were to use the Celestial Empire as an analogy, it would be like the difference in popularity between the official Records of the Three Kingdoms and the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Furthermore, it was highly fanned. Every kingdom would treat the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that they had repeatedly edited and imagined as the official history, while disdaining the other kingdoms.
"One of Aisley's hobbies was to gather a group of people around a bonfire at night and recite poems and stories. Then … everyone fought to be the inventor of history. The good ones sang praises and the bad ones avoided the important ones. The poems and stories of every kingdom contradicted and clashed with each other. Perhaps only the rituals of the war dancers were somewhat credible."
— — Report from Finnuba, the former Ossuan Ambassador who visited Azeroth, upon his return.
The only information he knew so far was that the Twilight Sisters were originally the same person, an Estrahan beauty called Nathrahan. She was attracted by the distorted flow of time and the strange light in the Azoloren Forest, and walked into the depths of the forest under the guidance of the vicious forest essence.
There, she entered the Weave constructed by the Oak of Time and merged into it.
After a period of time, the girl returned. She was divided into two people, one called Nathrahan and the other called Alohan.
They appeared during the Wood Elves' invasion of Nagaros through the roots of the World Tree. Laing and Aleil violently beat up the Witch Queen for an old grudge. When the Dark Elves could no longer hold on, the Witch Queen Morasi proposed to teach Aleil "the original magic that could repair the roots of the Oak of Time." Aleil was interested and accepted.
However, what Morasi taught was even more terrifying Chaos Magic. Aleil was quickly affected and corrupted by the Chaos Magic. Aleil began a bloody reign and even tried to merge with Morgul. Her madness lasted for hundreds of years until the Ancient Ent Elder Adanhu sacrificed himself to purify the Wood Elf Queen. Aleil finally woke up and chose to shut herself away.
It was at this time that the Twilight Sisters appeared. They were announced as Aleil's daughters, messengers, and spokespersons. They also represented the Queen in the Forest Council for a period of time … until Aleil was forced to return under the threat of Morgul (who revived for the nth time) many years later.
However, the corruption of Chaos still existed in Aleil's body. The Wood Elf Queen had to fight against the corruption of Chaos year after year. Aleil knew very well that the Twilight Sisters were Aleil's chosen daughters to a certain extent. When the Wood Elf Queen expelled the Chaos Magic in her body, no matter good or bad, from the Oak of Time's Weave, it happened to be inherited by Nathrahan. The girl was divided into two by the power of the Weave.
This relationship was very complicated. To simplify, the Twilight Sisters to Aleil was equivalent to Morgiana to the Lake Fairy. Their power was inherited, and they were the spokespersons of the Gods in the mortal world.
"Mother, do you think … it's okay?" The Lake Fairy gently picked up the teacup and gave Aleil a look with great interest. "The Twilight Sisters are the apple of your eye. Mother, you won't be reluctant to part with them, right?"
"Laing's son?" Aleil took a closer look, and the Wood Elf Queen, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly brightened up.
Just like the sun, Wang Laing, Devhill's body was shrouded in pure and bright sky blue psionic energy.
This kind of guy was a fatal temptation to the Twilight Sisters, who were chosen by the Gods and Elven spellcasters. The key was that Devhill was not very proficient in the use of psionic energy. This kind of aura would leak out unnaturally from his body.
As for Laing, when Lilith took a fancy to him, he was already a half-finished product. Not long after, he became proficient in controlling his psionic energy and would not leak it out casually. Another reason was that Laing already had a "master". Most of the Elven Gods in the Heavenly Pantheon knew that Laing's body had been engraved with Lilith's mark, so they did not have any thoughts about it.
Devhill was different. He was still in a state of competition.
Moreover, the wood elves were naturally fond of children, especially young males like Devenhill who weren't fully grown yet.
The newly ascended Duke Palawon, Casson, had been teased by two Wood Elf girls during the Holy Grail Expedition.
"But … Nestra and Alohan are my daughters, but Devhill is your son!" Aleil was stunned for a moment. The Wood Elf Queen could not help but say, "Laing is your man, and you are my daughter."
"So what? According to mother, isn't Morgiana also my daughter?" The Lake Fairy did not care. "Devhill even calls Morgiana aunty."
The Elves did not care much about such things, let alone the Wood Elves who had extremely long lifespans. Aleil nodded slowly after hearing this. The Wood Elf Queen thought for a moment. Although Devhill did not have any military or speaking rights, he could at least strengthen their influence and mutual trust. She also planned to let the Twilight sisters lead the army alone.
The Wood Elves had very long lifespans. Since Nestra and Alohan liked them so much, there was no reason not to. Aleil knew how powerful Laing's bloodline was, so Devhill was naturally not someone with a short lifespan.
"Take the prince for a walk nearby," Aleil said to the Twilight sisters. "Take good care of him, and be close to him."
Sure enough, seeing that Aleil did not stop them, or even acquiesced and encouraged them, the Twilight sisters became bolder.
"Little brother, are you hungry? I have some roasted venison and jam pies here. I'm not hungry yet, I'll treat you. " Nestra held Devhill's arm. The strong floral fragrance of the mature big sister stimulated Devhill's nose. She took out some food wrapped in oilcloth and handed it to Devhill.
"Thank … Thank you, Sister Nestra." Devhill's face was red. He hesitated for a long time until his mother, Lilith, nodded to indicate that it was fine. Only then did he accept the food politely.
"Little brother, my name is Alohan. I often come to Palawon's forest to play. You can call me sister." Alohan leaned on Devhill. Compared to Nestra's fragrance, Alohan's body was surrounded by the fresh scent of pine and sandalwood. Her fiery red lips were already pressed against Devhill's earlobes. The cold and threatening big sister whispered in the baron's ear, "Have you ridden a dragon before? Little brother, Nestra and I will bring you to ride the dragon Seixin HAL. The dragon's back is quite big. Do you want to play with us in the forest? You can go straight to sleep when you're tired. No problem. "
Devhill was a little dizzy from being sandwiched by the two big sisters, but the young baron often interacted with his two mothers and beautiful aunts. He wasn't completely defenseless against beautiful women. He still felt that something was off, so he shook his head. "No, thanks. Father and mother will be here soon. Let's wait for them."
"Don't worry, it's still early. We can bring you to Uncle Dace's Starlight Furnace and let Uncle Dace make you a set of starfire rune armor and weapons!" Nestra continued to tempt. "How about it, do you want to …"
A full set of elven runic equipment forged by the Lord of the Starlight Furnace, the God of Craftsmen, Dyze! Devhill was a little tempted. He knew how much such equipment would cost on the market.
Such a set of elven starfire runic equipment was worth at least eight thousand crowns on the market. It was only second to the dwarven runemaster Delon Fienson's full set of dwarven vibranium armor that cost ten thousand crowns. (Godfather Kalad's five thousand was a friendly price and a discount from the dwarves.)
Devhill could only look at his mother for help. Lilith was a little hesitant. It was a habit of the goddess to cause trouble, but she couldn't really let the Twilight sisters take Devhill away right from the start. Laing and Suria wouldn't be happy about it.
She was still Devhill's mother, after all. She wouldn't be willing to let Devhill be traumatized from his childhood if she didn't make the proper arrangements.
Not to mention the stubborn old man who was still prejudiced against her.
"Go take a look around the Palawon Mountains, but don't go too far. You have to be back before dusk." The Lady of the Lake decided not to let him go completely. "Also, Nestra, Alohan, the two of you should be careful too."
After a while, Laing, Suria and Morgiana arrived.
Laing saw his son being sandwiched between the Twilight sisters to learn archery. He furrowed his brow and thought, What are you up to again?
But before Laing could think too much about it, the two ladies went straight to the point.
"Since Morgul still hasn't appeared, our plan to exterminate it has been delayed again and again." The Lady of the Lake turned to Laing and said, "This time, we invited Mother, Queen Aleil, to come here to discuss this matter."
"If Morgul doesn't appear, we can't organize an army to enter the Gray Mountains and play hide-and-seek with it." Laing sat down, and the Sun King said helplessly, "The army is too small to be Morgul's match, especially now that the Wind of Chaos is raging. With too many soldiers, the logistics alone will be a huge expense. The mountainous terrain has less of an impact on the Orcs, but Aislin and the Humans are more affected. Our cannons won't be effective."
"Sun King, do you know why Morgul hasn't appeared after his resurrection?" Aleil sneered and stared at Laing.
"Aislin's Queen knows Morgul the best. You can share any information you have. We Brittany have always been Aislin's staunch allies. We help each other and benefit each other. Aislin's enemy is our enemy," Laing said righteously.
If you really are Aislin's staunch ally, you shouldn't be speaking to me in such a refined Elvish. Aleil frowned. The Wood Elf Queen admitted that Laing's words were quite pleasant to hear, so she didn't keep him in suspense. "Morgul is afraid of you."
"What?" Laing was slightly taken aback, but he immediately understood. "Morgul doesn't dare to invade the forest because of me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty Sun King. Do you know how bright you are in the mortal world now?" Aleil nodded. "Outside Aislin's Weave, there are a large number of flickering light spots of Order. Even I find it dazzling. Morgul is a form created by the God of Darkness to corrode and destroy Aislin. It has no intelligence, only instinct. It is instinctively afraid of you, and the Orc army under its command is also afraid of you and your Tricolor Flag, your Old Guard."
"Then what do we do now?" Laing frowned after hearing this. If the matter of Morgul wasn't resolved, the Brittany and Aislin wouldn't be able to divert most of their energy and the border guards to other matters. There was also no way to talk about an alliance with the Wood Elves. "Should I leave the kingdom temporarily and lure Morgul out?"
"There is a better way, Laing. I have discussed it with my mother. We can do this." The Fairy in the lake shook her head and spoke in a soft voice: "Channel your power into my body. Together with Queen Alaier, I will perform a purification ritual at the edge of Azeroth's Amir Forest, purifying the corruption within the forest. This ritual will have a great impact, Morgul and the Four Gods of Chaos will definitely not turn a blind eye to it"
"When the time comes, our alliance will be in Amir. We will fight Morgul and his Shadow Spawn Beast army." The Lake Fairy pointed at the withered land of Aislin's Forest. That was the battlefield she and Aleil had chosen. "We only need to protect the queen's ritual. Morgul will come. Laing, only your power can purify and destroy Morgul."
Surprisingly, Ryan did not agree. Gray Knight's geno prototype looked hesitant. He looked at Lake Fairy and then at Alai 'er's face. He looked at the Twilight sisters and said, "If you guys have already discussed this, why are you asking me?" Gray Knight's geno prototype looked hesitant. He looked at Lake Fairy and Alai' er's face.
After that, Laing stood up. He looked at Devonshire and said, "Devonshire, come with me. I have something to tell you."
"Coming, Dad." Devonshire broke away from the Twilight sisters and walked over to Laing.
Laing took his son and left without looking back.
The Lake Fairy's face changed. She looked at Suria and asked her what had happened. The Knight King closed his eyes and shook his head. He signaled the Lake Fairy to stop asking. Suria was feeling very bad.
The thing she was most afraid of had happened.
