"grandfather--"
"I read in a book that in the distant past, the royal court was located on a continent."
"On that huge land, there are snow-capped mountains, hills and valleys, endless grasslands, and lakes as flat as mirrors..."
"So, does it really exist?"
At the edge of the Elf King's Court on the Lost Isle, a little elven girl was squatting beside a dilapidated stone house holding an old book.
Her hair and eyes were a desolate gray, and at this moment, she was reading the words on the tattered book with the faint light of a fluorescent ore in her hand.
After thousands of years, the elves on the Lost Island have actually already adapted to life under the veil of eternal night.
By using a certain holy relic in the royal court, it is possible to grow a certain high-yield crop that can bloom and bear fruit without the need for sunlight and can be eaten as food.
But even so, the supplies on this small island are still only barely enough to support the survival of the residents of the royal court.
...
...
Those high elves who have their own seats as elders in the royal court's council chamber, such as the sun elves, moon elves, and ice elves, can naturally live in the inner area of the royal court and lead a relatively comfortable and pleasant life.
However, as the "Grey Elves" are often excluded from the sequence of high elves and have never even had their own elder seats in the council, their lives are naturally not so satisfactory.
They can only live in the outermost part of the Royal Court. Supplies such as fluorescent minerals and dull crops are sometimes available and sometimes not, so they need to rely on their own strength to survive in the outer part of the Royal Court.
However, everything has its pros and cons.
Being excluded from the mainstream society within the royal court, the grey elves can only build settlements on the edge of the wilderness outside the royal court, but this also allows them to have their own heritage and culture.
He has not been influenced by the thoughts and trends within the royal court over the years, and has not lost his independent thinking.
Long before the Cataclysm, the Grey Elves were natural bards and elven swordsingers.
Bards and swordsmen have no fixed place to stay, traveling throughout the entire material plane, bringing those beautiful ballads and epics to every corner of the Western Continent.
Even though the royal court has fallen and turned into the Lost Isle, a large number of ancient books compiled by bards still remain in the settlements of the grey elves.
There is no secret supernatural knowledge involved, just pure songs and stories.
But even so, the bizarre world depicted in those songs and fairy tales is enough to make people yearn for it.
"Since it is a book written by the senior Grey Elf bards, and those poetry books all say so."
"That should be true..."
The old gray elf with white hair and beard looked at the little girl in front of him, and there was a kind look in his turbid gray eyes.
The blood of the grey elves had also been polluted, so although he looked very old, his actual age was only a few hundred years old. Naturally, he had never experienced the glorious era before the Cataclysm.
"But, I think we will never see such scenery again."
The old grey elf looked towards the inky black sky.
It was a long, eternal night, and it had been like this since he was born.
"is that so"
The little girl closed the book, carefully picked up the fluorescent stone with her handkerchief, and put it in her arms.
She looked at the elder beside her: "But, didn't Sister Hathaway say that it won't be long before we have a brand new sun."
"At that time, we will also be able to see the undulating waves of the forest, the magnificent sea, and the magnificent view of the royal court."
"We can see blue skies and white clouds again, and flowers hanging on tree branches."
"During the sleepy afternoon nap, we can lie on the green grass, and the warm sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, leaving behind tiny, mottled silhouettes."
"And Sister Hathaway has demonstrated that kind of furnace core."
Hathaway is an elder of the golden elves.
However, due to various reasons, and the dilution of blood due to intermarriage with other elves, there are only a few pure-blooded gold elves left.
Because of this, Hathaway has a good relationship with small tribes such as the Grey Elves, and often represents the Grey Elves in the royal court's council meetings to fight for resources.
When she said this, the little gray elf girl's eyes sparkled with bright light.
A few months ago, Hathaway came to the settlement of the gray elves on the edge of the royal court and showed them some magical skills called arcane and magic.
Afterwards, a small solar furnace was left in the center of the gray elf settlement.
The solar furnace replaced the large bonfire that was usually used for lighting and to drive away beasts in the darkness, and it would be turned on for half a day every day.
Such a bright light was a wonder she had never seen before.
The little girl had an incomparable yearning for that light and the magic that Hathaway described as creating that light.
That is why, these days, whenever she has free time, she would read the booklet titled "Arcane Enlightenment" left by Hathaway.
I hope that one day I can become the creator of that brilliant light.
Hathaway's sister...
According to his real age, the golden elf elder is already...
The old grey elf smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I think that was just the Elder's way of encouraging us and stimulating our interest in learning arcane arts and magic—"
"It's just a white lie."
"Besides, what Elder Hathaway wants to do may not be permitted by the other elders in the royal court."
The old grey elf thought about the rumors that had been circulating in the royal court in recent days.
It was said that Elder Hathaway was bewitched by the alien from outside the race and wasted the resources accumulated by the entire royal court for a long time.
There were even rumors that he would be impeached from his position as elder.
As a member of the gray elves who had received Hathaway's favor, the old man naturally did not have any great aversion to Hathaway herself.
However, he still held a rather skeptical attitude towards the human who called himself a traveler and whose origins were unknown.
The old man raised his head and looked at the dark and gloomy sky.
He lived longer than the little girl and stayed in the dark longer.
Therefore, he naturally knew how difficult it was to achieve the future described by Hathaway.
Even though the combined light from all the fluorescent minerals and lighting candles in the entire royal court was reflected on the sky, it did not leave the slightest trace.
The spark of a royal court -
Compared to the darkness that has shrouded the entire world for more than a thousand years.
After all, it still seems a little too small.
However, the next moment.
The old gray elf's gaze suddenly froze.
Under the pure black sky that seemed to have never changed, at the highest point of the entire Lost Island, on the mountain that carried the branches of the World Tree, a faint light suddenly flickered.
At first, the light was so dim that the old gray elf blinked his eyes, suspecting that he was seeing things because of his old eyesight.
But then——
The faint light went from one to two, and from two to four.
In a very short period of time, it spread rapidly.
Above the extremely dark sky, there suddenly appeared countless bright diamond-like points of light.
boom--
The entire Elf Royal Court was alarmed, and countless elves stopped what they were doing and looked up at the dark night sky.
Then, silently look at the dreamy and blurry ocean formed by the gathering of bright lights.
The stars shine like a sea.
…
Boom—boom—
In front of Char, the magic reactor core erupted with a loud bang.
All the magical runes and array patterns engraved on the huge furnace burst out with incomparably bright and dazzling light at this moment.
In the rising black flames, countless magical ores were burned and melted.
Then, it was transformed into the purest magic crystal without any impurities.
Through the densely packed magic transmission channels, you can reach the highest peak of the Lost Island.
Thousands of magical factors are restrained and compressed under the blessing of spells and alchemical matrices.
Finally, under conditions of extreme restraint and compression, aggregation began.
Release the quality.
Then, it transforms into the purest light and heat.
Xia raised his eyes, and together with Ye who was lying on top of him, he looked through the window at the mountains under the huge world tree.
Also, there are thousands of dazzling lights hovering in the night sky, like a sea of stars.
"As expected of a teacher."
Char looked at the thousands of bright stars created by magic power and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Molten Core
"Magnetic Field Control"
…
In order to create such a scene of stars, no one knows how many high-level spells and forbidden spell formations have been activated at the same time.
He couldn't help but sigh, Master Jiang is worthy of being Master Jiang.
Even though Char took advantage of the timeline, he actually became Hathaway's teacher.
But his ability system is ultimately that of a beastmaster, and the wizard part can only be considered a secondary skill.
And Hathaway herself is the most powerful wizard Char knows, no doubt about it.
In just a few months, one can go from being a complete layman who knows nothing about the arcane and magic to quickly becoming an expert at it.
It took a few more months to complete the concept of the magical creation that still existed in the blueprint - the "pseudo-star" and apply it to reality.
In order to achieve this goal, Hathaway even created several new forbidden spells on her own.
For example, the forbidden spell "Molten Core" is used to bless the alloy that makes up the solar furnace, allowing it to maintain a stable shape and structure under the ultra-high temperature of magic factor fusion and not lose control.
All he could say was that in the realm of magical talent, he, Char, was willing to call Master-chan the strongest.
Woohoo~
The little night dragon was also gazing at the clear sea of stars above the night sky.
It flapped its dark and elegant dragon wings and leaped down from Char's head, falling into Char's arms, whimpering obediently.
"Yeah, you think it's beautiful too, right?"
"My teacher and I created this masterpiece."
Xia stroked the little head of Ye in his arms.
Originally, Char and Hathaway were planning to directly build an oversized solar furnace, which would hang high in the sky like the sun and completely illuminate the darkness of this world.
However, it was not until the two of them began to implement this plan in earnest and mobilized the resources of this world to begin building the planned solar furnace.
They just discovered that the supplies on the Lost Island were too scarce.
Even the ore stocks accumulated over thousands of years on the Lost Island would not be enough just to create the alloy needed to cast the super-large solar furnace.
Even if we add in what's stored in Char's space pocket, it's still a far cry.
So, Hathaway finally decided to launch a compromise plan.
No longer a single sun.
But - the stars.
At this moment, every ray of light on the dark sky is a solar furnace undergoing a fusion reaction, also known as a "pseudo-star."
Even though it is not as dazzling as the blazing sun, the light of the stars shining at the same time is enough to illuminate the darkness.
According to Hathaway's plan, when the elves begin to learn arcane arts and magic and embark on the path of wizards, and strong people can leave the Lost Island alone and obtain resources from the outside world -
At that time, we can invest more resources to gather these hundreds of stars and combine them into a unified whole.
By then, it will be a new sun illuminating the Lost Island.
In the moment when the stars are twinkling.
Xia heard the commotion in the royal court that was like a tsunami.
"It's caused such a big commotion."
"Well, some people should be getting restless."
Feeling the tsunami-like movement outside, Xia couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Almost at the same time when Char finished speaking.
The next moment, he heard the sound of light footsteps at the door.
And, the powerful aura that was approaching rapidly.
"An alien race from outside."
"According to the decision of the majority of the elders in the Council, your existence itself is too dangerous."
"Please come with us."
A warning voice, as if facing a great enemy, came from a distance.
"Do not attempt to resist, and do not attempt to escape through the astral plane."
"We know that you are very powerful, but you should have discovered that under the suppression of the rules of the Lost Island, your mental power cannot be released at all."
"Besides, this space has been sealed off by the holy relic. Even if you want to leave through the method of Advent, you can't do it."
Powerful auras rose up and silently surrounded Char.
From the items that the people carried with them, Char also sensed a huge mystery.
Among these auras, the weakest one is also a genuine legend.
However, Xia didn't care about these legends who held high positions in the Elf Royal Court, but instead turned his attention to the roots they carried with them, which exuded a huge and mysterious power.
"It seems that a skinny camel is indeed bigger than a horse."
"As expected of the dominant race of the Glorious Age, even though they have declined, they still have so many powerful holy relics, which are only slightly inferior to the Holy Lance and Holy Sword."
"If I sell it, it should be worth a lot of money..."
But soon, Xia suppressed his greedy thoughts.
Master sauce, Master sauce...
In order for you to grow up quickly and become mature, I gave up such a huge fortune.
In the future, you must compensate me well.
Facing those vigilant gazes, Xia grabbed Ye, who was looking at the elf legends around him viciously and was about to start a killing spree, and threw him into his soul contract space.
Then, Char raised his hands with a peaceful smile.
"Don't worry, I won't resist."
"Please take me away."
