Swallowing the food, Sayre looked at the shopkeeper and said,""Did they go to the new city?"
" Yes," the Wood Elf shopkeeper answered patiently." All of you go to Speth to pursue a new life.”
"Isn't this place very good?" Alyssa was puzzled. Wasn't it the wood elves 'ultimate wish to live in the ancient City of Miracles and live in a beautiful natural residence?
" Not good. There's no electricity, only old magic." As if recalling something, the shopkeeper sighed." It's indeed enough to maintain daily life. As for the rest…"
The owner looked at his customer and said,"There's nothing."”
"Unable to connect the circuit?" Alina asked.
" Yes, I can't get through." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly." When creating this City of Miracles, the Emperor planned it perfectly, but he forgot to give it the ability to change.”
"After he left, the mana crystals were no longer endless and became rarer. Until that day, when all the teleportation arrays of the empire were destroyed, everything collapsed.”
"Which day?" Linda, who hadn't gone to the academy yet, didn't know much about some historical events.
" Collapse Day, that's what we call that day," the shopkeeper explained to Linda." Pros called it the end of the empire, and Secretary Shi of Summer State made the Southern Dipper Rebellion.”
" I know," Seale raised his hand out of habit." The cabinet and the Left General ambushed the Great General in the Nandou Palace to stop the Royal Guards and the Holy Might Army from marching west.”
"Western Expedition? Why are we going west?" Linda was puzzled." Fight?"
" Almost." The shopkeeper was amused by Linda." Yprezen from the Middle Continent ran out of magic crystals first."”
" They prayed piously, but there was no response from the Emperor." The family put down their bowls and chopsticks and listened to the shopkeeper's narration." After the collapse of the Empire's transmission array, they fell out with Chang 'an and declared independence.”
" He incited the imperial guards and threatened the cabinet. His wild ambitions are as clear as day." The shopkeeper described that period of history in a particularly vivid manner." Although the continents became independent one after another after he was executed, at least the Summer Continent was still in the hands of the Empire.”
"The day I kill him will be the day I collapse.”After saying this, the shop owner was a little distracted. Unknowingly, he seemed to have changed the topic.
"What happened after that?" Saer didn't mind the topic that had strayed off and asked curiously.
" After that…" The shopkeeper cleverly brought the topic back to normal." My father left the Royal Guards and returned to Morning Star. Here-"
"Uh, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but are you sure you didn't call me an elder wrongly?”Alina didn't quite believe it." Father? Not grandfather?"
" Yes, my father married my mother when he was seven hundred years old and had a child." The shopkeeper pointed to himself." It was me.”
"…" Alina gulped." Please continue…"
" At that time, the Morning Star magical crystals were in chaos. Some residents took all the magical crystals and lived a life of drunkenness in the park." Everyone followed the owner and looked up at the ceiling." Fortunately, the wise united and stopped the crazy residents.”
" They established the Council of Elders." The shopkeeper looked at the towering tree outside the window." They opposed the imperial-style enjoyment and regarded it as an iron law that lasted for hundreds of years.”
" That's why Serene could survive and Morning Star could prosper." The shopkeeper had mixed feelings as he reminisced about the grand occasion of the past." Until the steel cities flattened the forest.”
"Isn't it good to live here?" Saier was very puzzled." It's fresh and comfortable. It's much more comfortable than the cold city.”
" Yes, but the forest doesn't have the pursuit that the new generation yearned for." The shopkeeper looked at Seer's strange eyes." For them, a better life is in the new city on the other side.”
" Actually, you should have come back half a year later." The shopkeeper, who was about to end the conversation, stood up and walked to the kitchen." Every year, the new generation will come back full of energy and celebrate for fifteen days.”
"At that time, you can find the prosperity of Morning Star.”
The owner's voice gradually faded away, leaving only the family who had their own feelings to continue tasting the light dishes.
……
"Can I really go up?" In front of the elevator, Sayre asked a passing wood elf.
"Top?" The lady passing by thought for a moment and immediately replied," Of course, but you have to pay attention to your safety. The viewing platform has not been patrolled for more than ten years.”
"Is the light always on?" Carl joked.
" Of course," the lady replied with a smile." They are unique light sources.”
Before he finished speaking, the elevator had arrived.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic residents, the family stepped into the elevator and set off for the viewing platform.
" I noticed that too. There really aren't many residents here." In the wooden elevator, Alina, who had noticed the problem, looked at her husband." Or perhaps, they don't like to come out?”
" Yeah," Alyssa echoed her sister." Only the places where we just ate and shopped will see more residents…"
" According to the owner, most of the wood elves who stayed here are not young…" Karl speculated as he recalled the conversation in the restaurant.
" I don't go out much." The elevator stopped steadily. Carl turned around and looked at the wooden door that was about to open." It's also very nice."
Looking at the long platform built on the trunk of the giant tree outside the wooden door, Carl was a little embarrassed.""So it's all here…"
" Let's go." Alina held her husband's arm as they walked out of the elevator." Why are you still standing here like a fool?”
The observation deck was filled with elves, but it was not noisy. Under the dark night and bright starlight, it was especially quiet and charming.
The observation platform was actually a horizontal branch of a giant tree. It was a naturally formed semi-cylinder with a width of more than 30 and a length of more than 200.
The road was covered with soft vines with fine leaves, making it especially comfortable to step on. The guardrail was made of long green wood with thin branches hanging down, and it looked quite beautiful.
It was no wonder that even if the residents of Morning Star did not like the liveliness, they would still come to the observation deck. For the elderly elves who loved nature, this was the most suitable place for them to stay.
There were no other facilities other than wooden reclining chairs and benches.
In Sayre's eyes, there were many people here, but it was not noisy. It was very similar to the central square of Beautiful City.
" Two thousand years ago, they were born in the territory of the Empire." Alina sighed as she approached the railing and reached out to touch the willow branches." Two thousand years later, they grew up in a new alliance.”
" Time flies, only miracles exist." Karl smiled after a moment of contemplation." Is that what they say?”
" Yes." Alyssa didn't dare to get too close to the guardrail and chose to accompany her niece and son." After reaching Morning Star and signing the alliance agreement with the Elders, Mr. Zhong Liang said this at the top of the Holy Tree.”
"Holy Tree?" Linda scratched her head." The biggest one?”
"Yes." Alyssa smiled and nodded. She gestured for her niece and son to bring them to the guardrail. Through the one-foot-wide gap, she looked at the towering tree that was flashing with green light in the distance.
However, Eliza still didn't dare to get close to the guardrail.
"How…far is this?" Seer estimated the distance between the two trees in his mind.
" About five or six kilometers," Karl replied." The distance between each ring is about the same. The innermost ring should be the same from the center?"”
" Mom." Sail tugged at the corner of Eliza's sleeve." The stars are so bright here."”
" Yeah." Eliza stroked her son's little head and looked up at the bright starry sky above her." It's much brighter than in Li City.”
The restless Linda, accompanied by her father, jumped around and looked around.
" There are really no children here," Linda looked up at her father angrily." And they all talk so softly and ignore others."”
" Yes, but," Karl reminded his daughter helplessly," Let's keep our voices down. It's nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly."”
" Hey, Dad," Linda ran to the guardrail without listening to what Carl said. She looked down and exclaimed," I think it's more fun to look down. It's so high!"”
Beside the guardrail, Sayre, who was with his mother and auntie, finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and began to communicate with the giant tree.
The moment the connection was established, the complicated information surged into Sayre's mind and was quickly sorted out without making his brain feel uncomfortable.
He tried to communicate with other trees, one, two…
Sai Er found that these neatly arranged giant trees were different from the forest in Qinghe and the park in Yunling. The connection between them was unusually close.
In the past, he could only sense things within a few kilometers, but now…Seale scratched his head. They were on completely different levels.
He even had a vague feeling that he could make these giant trees move. However, Saer didn't make such a bold attempt. Instead, he turned his attention to the guardrail in front of him.
As expected, the guardrail that grew out of the giant tree was no different from a real willow tree. He could control it as well. However, he would need to expend more energy.
If any of the elves on the observation platform paid more attention to this family that was obviously from the Republic, they might be able to notice the slight influence that the child had on the giant tree.
However, the thousands of elders who had complicated feelings for the Chinese chose to ignore their compatriots.
Naturally, no one noticed this slight change.
After signing the Four Continents Alliance of Friendship and Cooperation, Serene became a member of the alliance and developed rapidly with the help of the Republic.
In order to obtain many new things, it was inevitable to abandon many old things.
For the elves who were older than the Republic, it was difficult for them to accept new things and a new era. They also did not have a good impression of the Republic, which had brought about change.
It was their habit to climb up the star-filled stands and quietly look up at the familiar night sky. The city built by the giant tree was not only their home, but also the only memory of the old era.
Even when the family from the Republic left, they were still immersed in the starlight and did not pay any attention to it.
……
Carl found a hotel on the upper floor of the business district, paid the bill, and brought his family to check in. The host of the inn was a relatively young wood elf, which surprised Carl.
However, Carl was not surprised for long. After all, the hotel was run by the Serene government. It was not appropriate to ask those elderly elves to take care of it.
Compared to the old man who had been living in the giant tree for a long time, the wood elf who received the guests was very enthusiastic. To her, the people of the Republic were much more cordial than the tourists from Gwelland and the Federation.
The Morning Star Standard Guest Room was a single-story residential building.
Even compared to the hotels in China, this place was too luxurious…It couldn't be helped. Very few travelers stayed in the inner part of Morning Star during the off-season.
During this period of time, Serene's government decided that the Morning Star Hotel would follow the ancient system and rent out an entire room.
Therefore, Carl was pleasantly surprised because he didn't have to worry about Su anymore. When he came here decades ago, he had to share a house with more than ten people.
After washing up, Alina and Eliza both realized a problem: There were no electrical appliances in this place.
Yes, not even the Screen.
Most of the entertainment items were placed in their original positions, with small signs hanging on them, introducing their former functions.
" These books are also old antiques, elvish books." Taking down a book from the shelf, Alina carefully flipped through it." There's nothing else.”
"I want to watch the TV and the show.”The unhappy Linda threw herself onto the sofa and rolled around.
" Actually, these things can still be used, right?" Karl picked up a compass-like device." It's nothing-"
"An old-fashioned imaging device?" Alyssa, who had changed her clothes, brought her son to the reception room. She saw the equipment in Karl's hand at a glance.”
" Well... it's written on it too." Karl looked at the notice board carefully." Put the magic crystal in the back and it can be activated..."
" Note that it consumes a lot of magic power." Karl thought about the few small magic crystals in the suitcase and calculated." We can try it tomorrow."”
"You haven't tried it before?" Alina couldn't be bothered with her daughter anymore and started a conversation with her husband.
"No, I haven't. " When I came here last time, these things were all in the cabinet." Carl looked at his wife and put the video camera back in its original position." It should be the peak season. You're worried about damage."”
"Shall we discuss the route?" Sitting next to her daughter, Alina suggested," Maybe tomorrow?”
" Tomorrow, it's late." Alyssa patted her yawning son." Sal is already dozing off."”
"Tsk, I slept in the sky for so long, but I'm still dozing off on the ground.”Linda, who was lying on the sofa, curled her lips.
"You're a little too active today, Linda.”Alina glanced discontentedly at her restless daughter.
"Hmph, I'm a child. Can't I be more energetic?”Not willing to be outdone, Linda retaliated against her mother.
"Be good. Otherwise, you can sleep alone tonight.”Carl put on an act and threatened his daughter.
"If you want to sleep, then sleep by yourself!" Linda turned her head angrily.
" Why don't I accompany Linda?" Eliza sat down beside her niece." Linda is very quiet here."”
Linda, who had her back to her family, puffed up her face helplessly. She knew that she would be embarrassed to make a fuss if she slept with her aunt.
" That's fine." Alina smiled evilly." We'll accompany Sail tonight until she returns voluntarily."”
"No way!" Linda, who had her back turned, did not know that even her younger brother was covering his mouth and giggling.
……
" Why does this child like to…hug you…" Alina's tone was a little strange as she watched her nephew sleep next to her husband.
" Isn't my daughter like this too…" Carl was helpless. He was really too much like a good wife and mother. He lacked a little…masculinity.
As for her wife, she didn't pay attention to her. Wasn't she usually too domineering? Carl was secretly annoyed that his family position was becoming more and more strange.
Looking at his wife and nephew who were sleeping soundly, Carl sighed and gently closed his eyes. Forget it, let's think about where to go tomorrow. It's a full ten-day holiday…
Although it felt pretty good to relax here. However, he couldn't stay in this place for ten days.
Unknowingly, Carl also fell asleep. He didn't know what the ten-day trip would be like…Anyway, it shouldn't be bad.
