Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 641: 492 Turns 1 Circle

Spring went and summer came, and now it is autumn.

Dacus sat on the steps to the throne under the Oak of Time, but the throne had been moved away. The era of that couple was over, and no one would sit there in the future unless he and Marest had a daughter.

In the distance, the Asrai gathered around the table for the four-times-a-year Senate meeting to discuss the next defense mission for the entire Athel Loren. The forest lord Fendor from Windrich became a member of this year's three-person council. He chose to sit in the seat where Dakwus once sat and listened. In the eyes of the Asrai, the seat where Dakwus once sat had incomparable significance, and perhaps this habit would be passed down forever.

Daxus did not choose to attend the meeting, but chose to listen from a distance. What he wanted was for the order he established to operate normally, and for the Asrai to take care of the defense of Athel Loren.

"Are you sure?" he asked Liv who was sitting next to him while playing with the scepter in his hand.

"I'm sure. I want to go out and see the world outside." Liv responded without thinking.

"Okay." Daxus looked at Terra who was sitting in the seat. Athel Loren needed a prophet. Liv chose to step down, and Terra was the best replacement. After a moment, he nodded and agreed to Liv's choice. He could feel Liv's entanglement.

From a broad perspective, his arrival was inevitable. The old era ended and the new era came. Liv brought him to Athel Loren. But Liv's personal feelings could not accept Ariel's departure, so Liv chose to leave this sad land.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Liv asked slowly after a moment.

"Let's go to the new world. The Emerald Garden needs manpower, the elves' agriculture needs to be developed, and the Oak of Ages needs to be nourished."

"it is good!"

The Oak of Ages needs to be nourished by the winds of Guillen and Gur. This is inevitable in Dacus's view. He does not want to experience the death of the Oak of Ages in five hundred years. In his plan, the Emerald Garden will be built in La Plata, as an institution and a landmark wonder. A Great Pyramid of Tabok will be built where Kukulkan can reside, a combination of lizardman and elf styles. A magnificent hall composed of trees and buildings, a huge garden for citizens to visit and play.

The World Root of the Oak of Ages will connect to La Plata, absorbing the winds of Gillen and Gur from Asheril. If necessary, this relatively stable World Root can also be used as an emergency delivery channel.

Now, he added another point. He planned to open a university there, an agricultural university serving the elves, as the origin of higher agricultural education. In the future, students and spellcasters from other places would go there to learn how to manipulate the winds of Gul and Gilun, and learn related agricultural and animal husbandry knowledge.

Therefore, the construction of the Emerald Garden requires manpower. Asanok has talked to him about it. He doesn't want to return to Laurenloren, nor does he want to stay in Aesulloren. He wants to make some contribution to Daquus's cause.

Dacus arranged for Asanok to assist Alyssa in the Emerald Garden. Asanok was a warlock, but times had changed and he didn't care. Moreover, Lustria was his territory, his reserve, and he was the king there. He could do whatever he wanted. Now, Liv had also joined in.

Then, there was another long silence, and Daxus stared at the scepter in his hand in a daze.

After leaving Tergovan, he first went to Anmir. There were several special places in that withered land. He came to the Isorien Mirror Pool, which was closest to Tergovan, under the introduction of two ladies, Delina and Tavarya. It was a magical pond hidden in the hills. Just like what he had experienced before, it was connected to the other world and was a holy and secret place in Anmir.

The Asrai have shaped the beech trees surrounding the pond into tall domes that support the gathering place, which rises above the leaves. Visitors who get lost in the endless maze of beech trunks may hear the disembodied singing of elven voices, the melody of which is disturbing. Adventurers who manage to find the Mirror Pond must pass the trial of the Watcher who guards the Mirror Pond, but this is not a matter for him. He is not an adventurer, he is the master of this forest.

In fact, there is nothing interesting about the Mirror Pool of Isorien, it is just a pond, but he found some very interesting things around the pond. The area around the pond is full of white flowers, and the leaf vein structure has a silvery reflective luster under the moonlight, which is very easy to identify. The Asrai call it "Silver Leaf Tea".

After returning to the gathering place, the group enjoyed the tea made by crushing and boiling silver leaf tea, but he didn't drink it. It's not that he didn't like it, but that he couldn't drink it. There was something wrong with him. According to the game group, after drinking it, he would gain 1 point of madness and move towards becoming the true Chosen One of Tzeentch.

But elves with second sight will be fine after drinking it. Instead, they will gain a certain navigation bonus in Athel Loren and can find relatively safe paths. It can also assist meditation and thinking. Of course, this is nothing. What's amazing is that powerful spellcasters can catch a faint trace of chaos corruption after drinking the tea.

He was a typical practical person. In his opinion, Silver Leaf Tea was a good thing. After all, the Slann Magic Priests said it was good after drinking it. How could he not be tempted? He decided to collect some and bring them back to the New World to give to those Slann Magic Priests and invite them to drink tea. Of course, the elves' spellcasters could also use it. In addition to helping with meditation, it could also resist chaos. Combined with the meteor compass found earlier, it was enough to give those cultists hiding in Naggaroth a good drink.

The Asur also needed Silver Leaf Tea, the White Tower of Hoeth needed it, spellcasters needed it, and the Swordmasters of Hoeth who served as secret police also needed it. When the tea party entered the second half, the Asur and Aslai supplemented the terms of trade.

After a night's rest, Dacus came to Karl Kalond. Yes, Karl Kalond. In his opinion, there was no difference between Anares Hall and Karl Kalond.

The forest around Anares Hall is mainly composed of beech and yew trees, the last essence of the whole withered land. This place is very strange. It is a popular attraction for the Lords of Bartol. The Lords of Bartol believe that they will be blessed by the goddess of the lake and become the knights of the Holy Grail. In fact... it seems that there is nothing wrong?
Asrai from the other twelve lords sometimes come to the Anares Hall for pilgrimage and admire the surrounding sacred yew forests. He was curious about a question before, that is, where was Bretonnia, who was taken away by the prophet and had the second sight, sent? There is always a process from a child to a prophetess. Lilith is not that evil, otherwise Lilith would be the Chaos God.

After arriving at the Hall of Anares, he got his answer. Those children were sent here for training or safekeeping. Some children who could not make it would be transported to the depths of Athel Loren and become what he had seen at the banquet before. Some would return to Bretonnia after learning the entire magic system and become prophetesses who were superior to others. It was the first time he had seen so many human children. To him, it seemed that this was no different from Karl Karonde?
The Hall of Anares is very large. The hall does not simply refer to a hall that can accommodate a large population. In the Fin-Elsalin language of the Asrai, the hall refers to a family-sized settlement. The Asrai of the entire Anmir usually gather here except for patrolling and fighting.

Following the route, he first came to a place 16 kilometers south of Anares Hall, where there was a pool of enchanted water used for divination. Occasionally, human girls were brought here for training and eventually became lady prophets.

Water insects skimming across the water created ripples, wood spirits left ghostly lights, and the water around the white lily bushes was calm. A young human prophetess sat alone on a rock among the lilies, clasping her hands in meditation.

Ms. Delina whispered to him that things were not as simple as he saw, nor as peaceful as he imagined. Children who came here for training usually had to search long distances through the pool, and accidents were easy to happen in the process. Some particularly beautiful or shrewd girls were dragged into the water by other jealous girls. Girls who were dragged into the water usually did not die, but lived in another way, such as becoming a river fairy and reporting to the Liushui Palace, becoming a part of the Serene court...

Daxus shrugged his shoulders, saying that it was normal. Not to mention women, some men are also jealous. Once jealousy arises, they can do anything and anything can happen. He did not have a heart of a saint: asking Delina why she did not care. Why should Asrai care? There was no reason to care. According to the standards of Naggaroth, those children who became river fairies were undoubtedly weak.

In his opinion, Athel Loren is very dangerous, so dangerous that it is not a place for people to stay. To the left of the divination pool is a thorn forest. Most invaders and Master Bato will be warmly welcomed by the thorn forest after bypassing the rows of guide stones. Few invaders can survive the danger of this dense and tangled forest. The sun cannot penetrate the canopy, making it impossible for invaders to distinguish the direction. They can only circle in place, and then... Learn about the death thorn bushes and thorn roots.

The deaththorn is not a carnivorous plant, but that doesn't mean it's not terrifying, as it uses its thorns to spread its seeds. The first sign of an attack is a violent rustling of nearby vegetation, which often attracts animals to investigate potential prey or come out of curiosity to check it out. Once a victim gets close enough, the plant releases its thorny seeds, which embed themselves into the victim's body.

Of course, the death thorns are nothing, there is no lethal dose. The real horror of the stranglewood is the strangleroot, which is why this forest is called the stranglewood. The strangleroot will try to suffocate intruders sleeping on the ground, if the intruder does not notice that a root has slowly wrapped around their neck... In addition to these, there is a small clearing in the center of the stranglewood, where naughty human boys are sent as punishment, and sometimes, naughty elf children and human girls are also sent here. This is Barty's lair, and her bloated body can be seen from a long distance.

Batty would make several boys with extraordinary magical powers sleep forever in leaf cocoons to absorb the boys' magical energy. The twisted trees surrounding the woodland vaguely took on human form. She used the boys' magical energy to cultivate soul essence and form a small army to protect the army of the Hanged Forest.

Daxus had no idea what Batty was, because he had seen her in the other world, a woman with horns on her head, whose bloated body could rival that of Aunt Rose who could stand up to trees. Just as the Asrai believed, Batty was indeed a member of Blueyd. The Asrai called Batty the guardian of lost children, but Batty's way of protecting children was different from Zephyr's.

Many times things are similar, Aslai would also tell stories to children, warning them not to be naughty, and the villain in the story was Aunt Barty.

When he was in the other world, he had a few words with Barty, a typical extremist who advocated the expansion of Athel Loren and opposed the Forest Covenant with the elves, but Barty was speechless when he saw him and said that he would obey his orders. He had no intention of meeting Barty in Athel Loren. After taking a look from a distance, he continued to head north.

There are two strange places to the north of the divination pool, but Daxus did not go there. He came here to investigate, not to take risks. He would just take a look if it was convenient, but there was no need to go there if it was not convenient.

Soon, he came to the House of Delina. It was undoubtedly Delina's territory and part of the Hall of Anares. The settlement was built along the stream, and the Asrai lived in houses on the tops of trees. The Asrai who lived here were all spellcasters, members of the Kell-Aisha Neighborhood Gang. Many animals also lived here, and owls would take on the task of guarding at night. In addition to the Asrai and animals, human children also lived here and received training from the spellcasters.

He chose to rest in a colorful pavilion in the Bretonnian style. This pavilion was very special and was called the Guest Pavilion. It was specially used to receive Bretonnians, but it was rarely used.

He enjoyed the elven bread made from flour ground from large nuts produced by beech trees, but he found that although the bread was delicious, he could not eat it. This did not mean that the bread was too hard, so hard that it could break out of prison or kill people, but that it was too filling.

The bread in his hand was not very big. It was not a staple food. He only ate one piece of bread for one meal. This was against the will of heaven. During the march, supply and weight were a big problem. Perhaps this large beech nut would solve the problem. Perhaps he should bring some seeds back and plant them in the Feibo Garden in La Plata. The quantity might not be enough to meet the supply of the entire army, but it was better to have it than not. It could be distributed to scouts or troops performing special tasks.

After a short rest, he came to the House of Tavariya. In the middle of the open space stood an amphitheater with wooden benches, a place for study. It was where the spellsingers taught the elven children and students, and occasionally human children were invited in.

But that's not important. What's important is that not far from the amphitheater is a huge yew tree, a huge yew tree that reaches 120 meters high. The huge yew trunk is intertwined with stairs that connect the tree house to the lush garden terraces in the upper branches. Suspension bridges connect the huge yew to other smaller family trees. This yew tree is the first major gathering point for Anares Hall, which is located below and is fully utilized.

This yew tree was also the core of his investigation in Anmir. The tree was so tall that in his opinion it was a pity for the tree to serve as the settlement of Asrai. It should become the body of the forest spirit.

While it was still early, he went up and took a walk. There was a dance hall on the tree. This elegant library served as the banquet hall for the war dancers and the temple of Loik. He did not drink a glass of wine or watch the superb performance of the war dancers. After a while, he continued to climb up. The garden terrace on the top was where vegetables were grown. The spellcasters would cultivate crops here. He could see the human boy constantly moving around the crops and taking care of them.

The treetops were vast and open, and the entire Anmir was in full view. He could see the corruption and decay of Anmir, but fortunately it was not completely decayed. The area where he came from Tegovan was better, with no signs of corruption. According to the two, the energy of the Excalibur ritual had been restored to the area near Tegovan.

The corruption was concentrated in the north, and he saw the Hall of Ardavok, the original settlement of Anmir. It was where the Ardavok, a member of the Ancient Faraway Order, had taken root, but now Ardavok had been corrupted into a withered shell, and shadows fell over the barren and lifeless soil.

To the left and right of Ardavok Hall are two small settlements close to the edge of corruption, which are like pockets waiting for the beastmen who smell the corruption to drill into them before being surrounded and annihilated.

Finally, he gave the two ladies an idea. After the Lizardmen's strength increased, they should build a barrier in the northern corroded area, and then set a big fire. Just like what he saw in Lauren Lauren, he thought this was the best way. Burn it first, there is no better way to solve the problem than a big fire, and then perform a ritual purification, and finally fill it with trees.

Originally, it was pure fantasy for Asrai to set fire to Athel Loren, but who made him appear?

As for Anmir's large settlement, it was chosen in the Anarres Hall, southeast of the House of Tavarya and the House of Delina. After Tal-Sinan is activated, it will radiate to these two houses. At that time, settlements will be built with Tal-Sinan as the center. A large number of small settlements will surround Tal-Sinan to form the real Anarres Hall, the barrier of Athel Loren.

At night he enjoyed hospitality in Yew Court, the hollow of a great yew tree, which was sacred to Asrai, the place where the two ladies talked with him and where no man was allowed to enter.

After leaving Anares Hall, he did not go north because there was no road to the north. A huge rift separated Anmir and Celtis. If a large army wanted to reach Celtis from Anmir, it could only go through Phil Darrick.

After going down from the relatively flat area of ​​Anmir, you will reach the War Dancers' lair, the core of Phil Darrick, and the War Dancers' Banquet Hall.

Wardancers are the true guardians of the Wild Warband and Elven history, recording countless stories and legends in various visual arts, imparting knowledge to the Asrai who watch them perform. The Banquet Hall is where the Kindred hold feasts and play music, bringing joy to everyone in the form of elven culture, while also appreciating the glorious history of the race.

As Loik's chosen one, he must have received a warm welcome here. The one-stop service made him dizzy and he said he was enjoying the New World for the rest of his life.

After staying there for a few days, he continued northward and came to Tirsais, but he did not go deep into the area, nor did he go to where Dilandra usually stayed. He came to a place whose full name was the Clearing in the Eternal Moonlight Forest.

The clearing was located deep in the forest, surrounded by tall ancient trees, each of which seemed to be thousands of years old, with thick trunks and lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun. However, in this clearing, the moonlight shining through the gaps between the branches seemed unusually bright, as if the land itself was attracting the moon's light.

This is holy ground, guarded by the Asrai who worship Lilith, and it is also the lair of Liv, where she stays when she is not wandering Athel Loren or caring for the Twilight sisters.

Dilandra, who was entrenched in Tirsais, could not be affected by Tal-Sinan, as the spirit needed the nourishment of the wind of magic. In the end, Arida chose to leave part of them in the Gray Hall and move the other part, a large part of it, to the vicinity of Moonglade, deploying Tal-Sinan in the center of Moonglade.

After the arrangements were made, the team set off again, crossing the Grismeri River, crossing Agravelon, crossing Alanlock, coming to the Grey Mountains, to the territory of the Dwarves, and to the place they had passed by at that time.

After obtaining a set of divine armor, Dacus always needs to find a touchstone to practice with, and the best practice target near Athel Loren is Gul, the Lord of Despair, one of the nine Lords of Death under Nagash. (End of this chapter)
