Advent of the Archmage Chapter 541

The so-called "bottom line" was the foundation for both parties to maintain tacit cooperation . Now, Ferde and the Isle of Dawn's cooperation was built on the fact that both had to face the Destruction Army . In other words, the Isle of Dawn wouldn't mess around while the humans, led by Ferde, were facing the Destruction Army .

Once the Isle of Dawn felt that Ferde was a great threat, they might possibly break this tacit agreement .

Eliard didn't believe this . "Would they really?" he asked .

Vance shrugged . "I can't be certain, but from how they treated Evelina, they really care about their so-called tradition and noble bloodline . They might even see it as a glory they must protect with their life . They're probably able to do anything if their tradition is threatened . "

Celine was also present, and she didn't believe it . "I don't think so . There are less than three million High Elves . Once war starts, even if we sacrifice 100 men for one High Elf, we'll lose one billion people and have three billion left . The High Elves, though, would be at risk of extinction . Plus, is their tradition really that important?"

"Yes, very important," a bright voice rang out . It was Elin .

She stood up on her chair, pushing against the table . Her large and bright eyes were serious . Of course, to others, she looked adorable . People would want to pinch her pink cheeks .

But the Magicians present wouldn't do that . They all perked up their ears to listen to Lady Fortuna .

"Any ancient race in Firuman would place importance on tradition," Elin said seriously . "The High Elves, dragons, dwarves, and my Yabbas are all like this . Tradition is the precious experience accumulated over the years . It is the sign that guides a race's ship safely through the river of time . We follow these traditions to live in Firuman for longer and better… However, emphasizing tradition can be both a blessing and curse . Especially when faced with a drastic change, tradition can be the biggest obstacle . "

At the end, Elin was a bit down . She'd thought of her own race .

She'd predicted that a huge catastrophe would fall and encouraged her people to move south since the beginning . It had been useless though . They didn't want to leave the land that they'd lived in for thousands of years . They believed that their power could save them, but in the end, they almost went extinct .

Looking at everyone present, Elin said seriously, "The High Elves are difficult to deal with because they're truly powerful . Their Magician army has no match, but they're easy to deal with too . They are a very steady race; they won't make any risks . You can find something similar in history for everything they do . "

Here, Elin looked to Link . "History tells us that, when faced with an existential crisis like this, the High Elves would go past any bottom line to save themselves . During the Mana catastrophe 3000 years ago, they did that . That time, their actions forced a faction to flee into a dark region and become the Dark Elves of today . Three hundred years ago during Bryant's era, the High Elves did the same thing . At that time, Bryant had the ambition to empower humans . The so-called love wasn't everything to him . However, he gave up in the end . There were some secret things that were too terrifying . You know what the end result was: he became one of the High Elves . "

Elin finished, and the Magicians in the garden all fell silent .

After a pregnant pause, Link clapped . "What has passed has passed, but the future is still uncertain . We must strengthen ourselves . The fastest way to become stronger is with the Ethereal Crystal . Not only should we use it to create more Ethereal equipment for Magicians, but we can also make them for powerful Sunlight Warriors . The more Ethereal Crystals we have, the stronger we become . Any objections?"

Everyone present had witnessed the benefits to Ethereal Crystals . Coupled with Elin's willingness to help, it greatly reduced the risks . No one would refuse such an easy benefit .

"No objections," Vance said first .

"I am interested in the power of Ethereals," Alloa, Maiden of Truth, said . "Not only can they directly help us become stronger, but the Mana structures are also abnormally intriguing . It is valuable to study . Thus, the more crystals like this, the better . "

Secret Girl Eleanor smiled . "I pity those Ethereals, but since they like Firuman, we should let them stay here forever . "

Finally, Elin raised her small hand and said seriously, "The Yabbas wish to join this hunt . "

It passed unanimously .

Link nodded . "Very good . We still have to perfect the way to catch Ethereals . It isn't mature yet . "

Perhaps due to Link's influence as lord, the people of Ferde gradually started having the habit of doing everything efficiently . Once they decided on something, they would get to it immediately without wasting any time .

Since everyone agreed now, they immediately moved from the garden to the alchemy and enchantment rooms in the Mage Tower . Everyone worked together to create a strong Ethereal catching tool .

Just as Ferde was feverishly raising their strength, Bryant returned to the Isle of Dawn . Once there, he hurried to Andwar, the High Elf palace in the heart of the island, without stopping .

The Isle of Dawn was less than 200 miles in radius . With Bryant's speed, the giant tree that rose into the clouds appeared in his vision two minutes later . This tree was truly huge . It was more than 600 feet tall, and the trunk was over 180 feet wide . The treetop was spread out like a giant green umbrella .

Emerald light shone down from between the leaves and branches . When the light reached the air, it would turn into floating balls of light . These light balls spread out, some entering the dirt, others scattering into even smaller balls . They kept dividing until the air had a tinge of green .

This was Level-19 Natural magic!

Even a god couldn't see the mysteries of the World Tree . The High Elves' palace was under this tree .

Andwar had beautiful light purple buildings . The outer walls were covered in silver, magic veins . The ground was made of jade tiles . Along the path, there was a lamp tree every few steps, glowing softly .

The entire city was mysterious, intricate, peaceful, and serene . Here, Bryant's heart, frustrated from the visit to Ferde, gradually calmed down . He knew this was the power of the tree .

On the Isle of Dawn, every aged elf's last dream would be to accompany the mother tree of the world for eternity .

Bryant breathed out deeply . He slowed and walked down the jade path . While walking, he organized his thoughts . By the time he reached Hierdani (in Elfin, it means "pavilion of starry slumber), his heart was completely at peace .

He saw the queen at the entrance .

Barefoot, she leaned against a lamp tree . Gazing emotionlessly at Bryant, she said, "I can feel the anxiety within you . Bryant, tell me about Ferde . "

Bryant bowed and recounted everything that had happened .

The queen listened quietly . Her brows would sometimes furrow but would quickly smooth again . When Bryant finished, she sighed . "This isn't good news, but it's not the first disaster we have experienced, nor will it be the last one . Bryant, I have a secret mission for you . "

Surprised, Bryant said, "Yes . "

"Go to the Black Forest in the North and ensure that the northern army and human army have balanced power… Do you understand?"

Bryant bowed slightly . "Yes, Your Majesty . "

He knew that this simple command meant that countless lives on the continent would be lost . It wouldn't be thousands or tens of thousands . In the end, it might lead to millions, close to tens of millions .

But these lives would not be High Elves, so they didn't care .

It wasn't the first time the High Elves would do something like this, nor would it be the last time . Everything was done for the safety of the residents of this island .
