Chapter 671 Visiting Group (First Update)
The Elves had a glorious history, once dominating the entire continent and many xenoplane spaces, until there were several connecting gaps between the Endless Abyss and the main material world, and the demon kings led their men to come like a cataclysm, bringing killing and destruction, all of which became memories.
In this war, the Elven Court finally repelled the demon army and sealed the passage, but the elves also suffered heavy casualties, their number decreased sharply, and they had difficulty giving birth, so they never recovered, and were gradually replaced by other races, retreating to the "natural dwelling" where several elven ancient trees were located, one of which was the Stroop Forest, which was one-third the size of the Kingdom of Holm.
Only the Stroop Forest, where the royal court is located, relies on its profound heritage and the existence of the "Elf King Tree", and still maintains a relatively transcendent status.
According to the information of the Magic Council, there are currently more than a hundred thousand elves living in the Stroop Forest, and their power has spread to the endless ocean, and they rule a large area of the sea together with the sea elf tribe.
"There are six legends in the Elven King's Court, the most powerful is the Empress Aglaia, who is semi-fused with the Elf King Tree, and her strength has reached the peak of legends, and she is good at various natural spells and demon-breaking arrows."
Hearing that Lucian took the initiative to apply to go, Douglas probably introduced him to the legendary situation of the Elven King's Court, "Among the other five legends, three of them are druids by profession, including the great druid Mafario who came to the council before, the third level of legend, and the three of them and the other two non-elven legendary druids jointly formed the 'Druid Elder Council' to coordinate the relationship between non-elven druids and elves."
"In other words, there are eight legends in Stroop Forest?" Lucian had only a clear understanding of elves and druids.
Brooke put his hands on his chin and added for Douglas: "Yes, the remaining two elves are epic knight legends, who can rely on the magic patterns on their bodies to cast natural spells, and when fighting in the forest, their strength will increase by half a level.
"Actually, the last time we went to war with the Southern Church, we were ready to ask the Elven Court and the Druid Elders as reinforcements, although they had to fight against the Kotao Fishmen and other sea tribes in the endless ocean, guarding the gaps connecting the abyss in the Stroop Forest, but it was still possible to mobilize two or three legends, who knew that the all-out war would end so quickly......" Oliver said with a slight regret, he was full of interest in the elven legends who were good at art and history - if it was a female legend, it would be even better, " It's a pity that I'm going to explore the Necromancer ...... recently."
After understanding that the monster Viken and Pope Viken are sworn enemies, several legendary magicians in the council plan to venture to the necromancy world, study the soul hearth, observe the "Immortal Corridor" up close, and gain insight into the mysteries of quantum superposition - for them, as long as they do not encounter the Pope of the Northern Church and others, the danger is not great.
You know, the legendary undead of the necromancer world were severely damaged in the previous adventure operation of the council, even the ancient mummies of one of the four legendary third orders were killed by Lucian, and the legendary necromancers with spiritual wisdom fell nearly half!
As for the "World of Doors", although the monster Viken will not use all his strength, it is easy to encounter the "King of Angels" and the six seraphim, except for the legendary peak Douglas, Brook, Fernando, and Hathaway who dare to go deep, and other legendary powerhouses are unwilling to take this risk.
Douglas pondered for a moment and said: "This is a preliminary investigation, mainly to figure out why the abyss rift, which has been stable for tens of thousands of years, suddenly lost control, causing demons to pour in, and the aura of killing chaos also strangely spread into the forest, polluting the Elf King Tree, causing a small number of elves to show signs of demonization...... Erica, Atlante, you are the authority on the demon side, who will go with Lucian?"
"Let's go, I just need some demons as research materials." "Cursed Eye" Atlant nodded with his eyes closed, his voice hoarse and low, but it seemed to echo in everyone's heart.
After deciding on the candidates, the emergency meeting quickly came to an end, and most of the members of the supreme council, such as Fernando and Brooke, hurriedly left.
Combining Lucian's quadratic quantization skills and relativistic wave equations, they have some ideas for the next development of quantum mechanics, but in actual research, they find that there are many difficulties and lack of strong mathematical tools to support them!
Although the field of mathematics and science showed signs of vigorous development after the release of the journal "Nature", it was not as good as the big leap forward in the microscopic field, so they had to stop temporarily and turn to mathematical research to make up for the foundation.
This is the situation in the microscopic field in recent times, limited by the foundation of mathematics, the turbulent wave has slowed down, waiting for the next surge.
Douglas took Lucian and Atlant into a room on the thirty-fifth floor, and the two blond elves stood up abruptly and said eagerly: "Your Excellency Douglas, have you decided on a good candidate? Are these two Excellencies? Uh, Lucy......"
They were Lucian's acquaintances - Prince Exilion and Princess Estine, so they couldn't help but blurt out after seeing Lucian, but they quickly remembered Lucian's identity and looked serious: "...... Honorable Evans."
When he first met Lucian ten years ago, he was still just a second-ring magician, and the level of the two of them had already reached the middle level in the mouth of humans, but only ten years later, he was already a legendary second-order magician, but the two of them were still intermediate, just approaching the high level! Moreover, his own strength improvement speed is outstanding among the elf clan!
Ten years was not too long for the elves, but when they faced Lucian again, they suddenly had a feeling of the vicissitudes of time, which turned the forest into the sea and the sea dried up into fields.
"No wonder Lucian Evans emphasizes that the embodiment of time is change...... Estine has only a basic understanding of the arcane.
The appearance of the two elves was almost the same as ten years ago, only their temperament was a little more mature, and their dress was still a refreshing and close to natural style, so Lucian also recognized them and nodded with a smile.
"'Atomic Control' Lucian Evans, 'Cursed Eye' Atlanta Forman, the two of them will lead some middle and high-level magicians to the forest to help you." Douglas officially introduced.
Estine took a breath and restrained the anxiety in her heart: "Your Excellencies, let me briefly explain the situation to you......"
What she said was almost exactly the same as what Douglas described: in the Stroop Forest, there is a gap leading to the abyss, and demons invade from time to time, but because the gap is not large enough, the "Abyssal Will" and the legendary peak of the Abyss Prince cannot descend, and the demon kings are more inclined to kill each other without control, so the Elven Court and the Druid Elder Society can easily guard, only one at a time.
But a few months ago, the originally stable gap suddenly got out of control and grew again, and a large number of demons poured in with the demon king. Fortunately, it was the Great Druid Mafario at that time, so there was no tragic result of the legendary fall.
After a period of fighting, the Elven Court and the Druid Elder drove the demons back into the abyss, temporarily sealing the gap, but at this time, the Elf Empress found that the Elf Tree was slightly polluted by the chaotic killing aura and had to return to guard and clear, after that, a small number of elves began to fall into demonization.
"I hope you two can help us investigate the cause of the gap losing control and find a way to stabilize it, so that we can completely eliminate the abyss aura and control the spread of demonization, but no matter what the final result is, we elves will send our sincere gratitude." Arestine is much more polite than before and is quite talkative.
However, whether the contamination of the Elf Tree and the small number of Elf Fall incidents are related to the Rift and Abyssal Breath still needs to be investigated and confirmed.
Lucian nodded gently: "I want to prepare and gather some assistants."
There is no need for the legend to investigate many things himself, just send middle and high-level magicians there, this is also to train talents for the council.
"Okay, Your Excellency." Exilion suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said.
He was originally as brilliant as the sun, but what happened during this time made him restless, tired, and as bleak as the sun set.
…………
Within the atomic universe.
After giving the order to transfer personnel to the Affairs Committee, Lucian returned home and explained the situation to Natasha.
"Elf King's Court? Strup Forest? Demon invasion?" Natasha's eyes lit up suddenly, she seemed to be full of energy and couldn't find a place to use it, having just been promoted to Epic.
Seeing her expression, Lucian immediately rubbed his chin clearly, and smiled: "Do you want to go?"
Natasha said "seriously": "The current parliament, cabinet and prime minister system allows the kingdom to have no problems even if I am not there for a month or two. You used to take risks alone, but now I can finally accompany you, this is the promise we made when we got married!"
"Why do I think that your companionship with me is only secondary, well, I seem to hear the rushing cry in your blood, longing for the pulse of charge." Lucian quipped.
Natasha was not ashamed and said confidently: "We really have a heart-to-heart connection! That's how I decided happily!"
Lucian could only smile and shake his head, with a hint of connivance.
…………
At noon the next day, in the room next to the conference room of the Supreme Council, Lucian saw the magician who had been transferred to accompany him.
"Annick? Sprint? What are you here for?" Lucian found that his four students were actually standing inside.
Heidi said with a smile: "The two of them have been silent for a long time, so I pulled them out to relax. What's wrong with being able to complete compulsory tasks under your supervision? It's a pity that Cherie and Leilia have to rotate at the institute."
"Well, that's good." Lucian nodded slightly, his students can't be weak in combat, who knows if there will be a big war in the future, as for Heidi's careful thinking, Lucian is of course clear, but there is no need to expose it, she is also kind.
Annick and Splinter stood awkwardly next to each other, not knowing what to say.
The members of the committee who followed Lucian this time were also acquaintances, and Ulyssian of the Silver Moon Song Alliance came with an unexpected member.
"Felipe?" Lucian looked at the sick-looking man who walked in.
The "Cursed Eye" next to Felipe smiled and said: "He is interested in natural heredity, and he applied to join us and go to Stroop Forest.
"This is your right." Lucian didn't say much, the current Felipe was no longer within the scope of his defense, and he obviously thought so, just standing next to him, without the previous tense situation, the gap was too big.
…………
"Voice of the Mystery" Hourly News:
"Today, the Grand Arcanist, a member of the Supreme Council, and the legendary magician His Excellency Lucian Evans, along with his wife 'Sword of Judgment' and Her Majesty Natashava Orit, Queen of the Kingdom of Holm, have left Alinge, and they will embark on a month-long friendly visit to the elves of the Stroop Forest, including members of the Supreme Council, the legendary magician Atlante Forman, and the member of the Affairs Committee, Julius An, a member ......of the Standing Committee."
This is an excuse on the surface.
