The port of Silvermoon Tree Garden was very deserted. After everyone disembarked, they saw... many elves quietly sitting in the trees around the dock, quietly watching the commotion.
Well, to be honest, there isn't much trade between Silvermoon Tree Garden and other places.
Even if there is trade, it is very infrequent, and maritime trade is rare; most trade is conducted overland. Apart from the Orc Kingdom, every country on this continent is located by the sea, and above the Silvermoon Tree Court lies a vast ocean.
That sea is to the right of the Duchy of Hazard, and that distance is much farther than the distance from the Demon King's territory to the Silvermoon Tree Garden. It's far less convenient than traveling directly by land. And above that sea... lies the far north, a country covered in ice and snow and closed off from the world.
Therefore, trade ships from the Demon King's territory should be considered a novelty in Silvermoon Tree Court.
However, for some reason, the elves were all holding various musical instruments, as if they were preparing to play music and waiting for the arrival of the imperial trade ships.
The group disembarking from the ship had Satan at the very front... followed by Sirina and Illa.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time the Demon King's territory has officially visited the Silvermoon Tree Court, so it's important to distinguish between primary and secondary matters... By the way, this is what Ira said.
There are some things that the Demon King's territory doesn't care about at all, but in the eyes of other countries, they are very important, although... not including the Silver Moon Tree Garden.
Yinla glanced around... and saw that most of them were familiar faces.
After all, the number of elves is not very large, and their reproductive capacity and lifespan are at opposite extremes... So, it's not wrong to say that elves are the race in the world that cares least about having offspring.
"Sister Satan Ye! And Miss Sirina! Illa! Welcome to visit... no, welcome to come and play!"
Cassie didn't act like royalty at all; she waved and greeted everyone... If Ira wasn't mistaken, she probably misspoke and said "Welcome to visit!"
As expected of someone so naturally naive...
Sometimes, Yinla felt really helpless. It seemed like there was some kind of curse on the position of "King" in this world... Almost no decent people ascended to the throne.
Some were just too naive and weak (Isabella: ...), some were too insecure but also very cute (Satan Ye: Hmm~), and some were just naturally naive (Casiopeia: Hehe~).
There's even a battle-crazed idiot (Favignon: Hey hey! Are you praising me?!).
The only king with whom Yinla found cooperation extremely pleasant was also a devoted man, so much so that he was capable of betraying Yinla's dream, abandoning the eternal empire, and dying alongside his wife.
If Uther had lived another ten years... everything would have been different.
...
"Okay! Yinla has arrived, get ready... to sing!"
!
While Inra was still evaluating the kings, Cassiopeia shouted this, and under her command, one by one, the handsome and beautiful elves began to pluck the harps and play the flutes.
Both the harp and the flute are musical instruments that already exist in this world, and they are very simple instruments that can be easily created in various worlds, so the elves naturally know how to play them.
And you can also see some instruments that are unique to this world—different from wind instruments, string instruments, percussion instruments, and even friction instruments... How can I describe it?
Is it considered an "explosive instrument"? Anyway, it uses something that explodes, but doesn't have any magical power to produce sound... Or maybe it's a percussion instrument? It makes sounds by striking the air or something?
The sound is somewhat like a drum.
Of course, there were also singers singing in Elvish, a language rumored to have originated from the language of the gods... Their voices, though incomprehensible, were beautiful and like the clear sound of a mountain spring, echoing among the Demon King's troops.
"...(Elven language)"
(Lyrics gist: I play a soft, gentle tune; when you're not here, the sun is dim and the moon is without light.)
"...(Elven language)"
(Lyrics roughly translate to: The wind is chilly, I sing for you the echo of a clear spring)
"...(Elven language)"
(The lyrics roughly translate to: The forest's song drifts through the branches, birdsong and fragrant flowers are proof of welcome.)
"..."
Even though the song was completely incomprehensible, everyone could still sense that it was half welcoming everyone from the Demon King's territory, and half exclusively welcoming Ira.
However, everyone just found it very interesting.
The people in the Demon King's territory found it amusing, the people in the Silvermoon Tree Garden sang happily, and Cassiopeia was pleased with her good performance. Only Ira stood there awkwardly... because he could understand Elvish.
Just as he had quickly learned a common language similar to the Commonwealth language, which was essentially a hieroglyphic script, by using similar magic, he also quickly learned some Elvish languages derived from Norse script at Silvermoon Tree Court.
The script of the Age of Gods also has similarities to the script of Runes... This at least proves that this world is not completely unrelated to the Eternal Federation that Yinra once existed. It may be a parallel world that diverged greatly at some point.
Whether you understand it or not, you can appreciate the charm of this language. It is a language with considerable depth and subtlety, making it very suitable for singing.
It could even be said that Elvish is more advantageous for singing than for everyday communication, as it allows one to easily feel a sense of epic grandeur.
