Chapter 233 A Sage’s Invitation

This used to be a small town of the Moonlight Elves.

It had now been turned into a big city that could accommodate millions of citizens.

With the help of enchanters and great enchanters, the speed of development had been astonishing. The quality was also top-notch.

The city walls were 50 meters in height, and they were crawling with luminous green vines. The vines made it easy for enemies to scale the walls.

But the greatest benefit of the plants was a defensive bonus. The vines would not stop the enemies from scaling the walls, but they could stop the dark creatures from using their magical cannons.

The Elves had been using magical barriers and defensive structures to fend off the dark creatures. However, most of their cities had fallen to the dark creatures.

There were many towering trees behind the city walls. They had grown in weird shapes because they were made into arrow and cannon towers. The Elves would make use of the trees to construct their fortifications.

When William entered this city, which was full of greenery, he observed many depressed Elven commoners. They also looked slightly furious. From the battle situation, it looked like the Elves were gaining the upper hand.

Millions of Moonlight Elves had been killed while tens of millions of dark creatures were defeated. The devils also sustained heavy casualties.

The Moonlight Elves had progressed from being on the defensive to the offensive.

They wanted to regain control of their palace, and they would not allow the traitors to live. They killed the traitors to honor their dead comrades.

But William felt that the Elves were slow in their thinking…

In other words, they were slow in their reactions.

After living for a long time, the Elves were used to a slow pace. They would be alright even if the war took tens of years!

But they forgot that their situation was not the same as before.

Now, they neither had the numbers, nor were they as powerful as before. They could not fight for tens of years.

The wars in the fourth era were fast and brutal.

Elves had a long lifespan. Without an outstanding leader, if they had a draggy war, they would sustain heavy casualties.

William followed some Elves to the center of the city.

He noticed some hostile Elves.

“Don’t they have a good impression of me?” William frowned. While he was walking around, many Elves had a good impression of him. But these fellows were acting very strange.

Hence, he asked the unfriendly Elves.

He got to know that they were the personal guards of the Second Prince.

“The Second Prince?” William pondered for a while before coming to a conclusion.

When he arrived at the city center.

William discovered that he was below the tallest Moonlight tree.

This huge Moonlight tree was thousands of meters tall, and its foliage was thick and expansive.

Many small tree houses had been constructed on it, and they were filled with Elven officials. The length of the lower branches was a few hundred meters.

The leaves overhead were shimmering with silver light.

The leaves were turning in such a way that allowed the sunlight to shine on the ground. This mechanism let the Elves who were on the surface enjoy the sunlight.

The shimmering silver light was the source of magic for the professionals to train.

It was not the only Moonlight tree.

There were other Moonlight trees nearby that were a few hundred meters tall. But the tree in front was definitely an ancestral tree.

The Elves of the second era planted many mystical trees.

The Elves were very fond of the trees.

Besides the World Tree, all the mystical trees, including the aged sycamore trees, had been taken away by the Elves.

The Elven Empire had been powerful beyond measure.

When William was a player, he had the opportunity to enter a time fragment. There he had witnessed the royal capital of the Elven empire.

It was a world made of countless huge trees.

The tallest World Tree was located in the center. Trees that were ten thousand meters of height surrounded the World Tree.

The Elves in the second era did not live on the Earth’s surface.

The dense foliage of the trees formed an area for the rivers, lakes, and grass plains. The Elves were living like the Angels who were staying in the sky city.

It was a pity.

Everything ended with the destruction of the World Tree.

It was a shocking explosion.

It destroyed many rare trees.

Hence, the guardian tree of the Moonlight Elves had become a Moonlight tree that was only thousands of meters.

William arrived at the ancestral land of the Moonlight Elves.

After the fall of the Elven capital and the palace, the Moonlight tree became the new palace for the Elven royals and officials.

Flying was prohibited here. William had to go through the entrance if he wanted to go up the tree.

Two guards scrutinized him as they extended their weapons to block his passage. Then they gazed at a familiar figure behind William.

“Who is he?” the guard asked, bewildered.

“Prince William Blackleaf and a friend of Princess Annie. The princess told me to bring him to her once he was found,” an Elven guide answered and smiled.

The two guards looked at each other and retrieved their weapons. They nodded at William as a show of respect before one of the guards said, “Prince William, please wait for a while. I’ll inform Her Royal Highness.”

“It’s not necessary. Bring him in.”

The guards were taken aback. An elderly voice had filled their ears. But when they looked at everyone, nobody else seemed to have heard the voice.

One of the guards smiled and opened the door. He led William inside, but he was puzzled. It was not Princess Annie’s voice. It was the voice of the Great Elder who informed them.

Both of them entered the interior of the Moonlight tree.

A magical tunnel that led up appeared before William.

The guard looked at the calm William and brought him into the tunnel. Then the guard made an incantation.

Swish!

The scene before them changed.

They had arrived at the top of the Moonlight tree. The person who wanted to meet William was definitely not Annie.

The guard noticed that William was hesitant. He smiled and said, “Prince William, don’t worry. The Great Elder wants to meet you.”

Hence, he gestured for William to walk over. The guard had no intention to follow William.

William no longer showed any hesitation, and calmly walked in.

He had no time to ponder why the Great Elder of the Moonlight Elves wanted to see him.

No matter what happened, William had to stay composed!

He was confident of his charms, so he did not have to fear death.

He left the tree tunnel and walked into the only treehouse.

The wooden door creaked open.

A middle-aged man, clad in a magical white robe, lay on a rocking chair. He curiously looked at William.

Those eyes!

They were like two bright moons, full of sacred brilliance.

He did not wait for William to respond.

Camelot suddenly shouted, “Treasure vault thief!”

“Ah?” William was befuddled for two seconds. Then he recovered himself and bowed as he said, “My respect to the Great Elder, the powerful sage.”

Camelot ignored William and stroked his chin as he contemplated.

“I feel that it’s him!

But the most important thing is…

Why?

Why?”

Ding!
