In the middle of the platform was an exquisite palace built out of wood, using the intertwined branches of ancient trees as a framework. The platform was an extension of the palace's floor.
After the big bird landed on the platform, it shook slightly, and Feng Chou jumped off its back.
After shaking off Feng Chou, the big bird turned back into its human form. It pulled Feng Chou up and rushed towards the palace in the middle of the platform.
There were four guards at the entrance of the palace.
Seeing the shop owner rushing over, the guards asked him from afar, "Lakelais, what happened?"
In the town, most of the elves spoke Ovendell, Elvish, or Sutton, but this guard spoke Elvish.
Elvish was a kind of ancient magic language, second only to Draconic in importance. As a high-level mage, Feng Chou certainly understood.
Lakelais ran and said in Elvish, "I have a very urgent matter to see Elder Kellendil."
The guards didn't stop Lakelais. Instead, one of the four guards accompanied them into the palace.
The few of them passed through a hall that was obviously a conference hall, walked through a small door on the side, and passed through a small corridor before arriving in front of an office in the depths of the palace.
Lakelais didn't even bother to knock on the door. He pushed the door open and hurriedly said to a kind-looking old man sitting behind the desk, "Elder Kellendil, something happened to Princess Orantia?" Perhaps to let Feng Chou understand, Lakelais spoke Ovendell.
The kind-looking old man was slightly surprised when he heard this. He asked, "What happened?
Speak slowly. "
Lakelais turned to Feng Chou and said, "Show it to Elder Kellendil."
Feng Chou didn't hesitate to use an illusion again, reproducing the image sent back by the bionic seagull.
Elder Kellendil only took a glance, then suddenly stood up from the office chair and asked, "Where did you see this?"
Feng Chou said, "My Green Owl Familiar saw it in a valley about three hundred kilometers northeast of Cenarius."
As Feng Chou spoke, he could clearly feel the fluctuation of magic. His superior ability to identify spells told him that this was the fifth-level divine spell, Lie Detection. It seemed that this nature elf elder was not only a druid, but also a priest.
After Feng Chou finished speaking, Cailandier thought for a moment and strode out of the door.
Lacleis and the guards followed him out. Of course, Feng Chou followed as well.
Galadriel walked to the conference hall and waited for a moment. Three more Nature Elves walked into the conference hall from the surrounding passageways.
Of the three nature elves, two were male and one was female. One of the male elves wore green armor and carried a huge bow on his back. There was a quiver on his shoulder that was filled with green arrows.
The other one wore armor woven from leather and living twigs, and held a staff that looked like a twisted tree root in one hand.
The only female elf wore a green robe and a silver crown on her head. She held a scepter inlaid with gems in her hand. Her face was as beautiful as a painting, like an orchid in an empty valley. Even with Feng Chou's self-control, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
They had obviously come out after receiving Elder Kellendil's notice. For spellcasters of this level, using spells such as Whispering Wind was as simple as breathing.
The female elf walking at the front asked, "What happened, Kellendil?"
Kellendil turned to Feng Chou and said, "Show me what you saw again."
Feng Chou nodded and once again cast an illusion, reproducing the scene of the battlefield.
While Feng Chou was casting the illusion, Kellendil had already seized the time to explain, "This is what this human wizard's magic pet saw in a valley northeast of Cenarius."
"We know that Princess Oranthia will be visiting Cenarius from Uldrasil in a few days. The road from Cenarius to Uldrasil is northeast, and this human didn't lie."
After the female elf finished watching the illusion and listened to Kellendil's explanation, she asked, "What do you think?"
Kellendil said, "I think we must go and rescue them. Elder Galanoud and I will lead the druid army to rescue them. You and Elgang will stay here and let the priests and rangers prepare for battle."
Galanoud was the elder holding the twisted tree root staff, and Elgang was the elven ranger elder.
The female elf looked back at the two elders. They thought for a moment and nodded.
Seeing the two nodding, Kellendil didn't delay any longer and strode out of the palace. As she walked, she said, "Galanoud, let's go. If it's true, I hope we can make it in time."
Lakelais also followed the two of them out. Feng Chou only knew Lakelais, so he naturally followed them out as well.
The few of them came to the platform outside the palace. Kellendil cast a transformation spell without saying a word, and a huge golden dragon dozens of meters tall instantly appeared in front of everyone.
The golden dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky, letting out a long dragon's roar. Following the dragon's roar, countless birds of prey and flying monsters flew out from the branches of Cenarius. Even Laclais and Galanoud transformed into hippogryphs and soared into the sky, circling around the huge golden dragon.
After a moment, the golden dragon was surrounded by hundreds of birds of prey and flying monsters.
The golden dragon let out a dragon's roar and suddenly soared into the sky. A moment later, it passed through the dense canopy of the ancient golden tree and rushed into the sky, flying northeast. Behind it were hundreds of birds of prey and flying monsters that covered the sky.
After the druid army left, the beautiful female elven elder and the ranger elder named Elgang also left in a hurry. Not long after, the canopy of the Cenarius Tree was bustling with activity.
The four rangers guarding the palace invited Feng Chou to a small parlor in the palace and closed the door from the outside.
Feng Chou knew that he was under house arrest. But thinking about it, it was normal. What if he was a spy sent by the elven enemy and tricked the elven druids out of the fortress of the ancient golden tree to ambush and eliminate them?
But he wasn't worried. As long as the druid army arrived at the battlefield and confirmed his words, he would naturally be free.
Feng Chou closed his eyes and began to watch the image transmitted by the bionic seagull through Qiankun Pagoda.
After this delay, the situation on the battlefield had changed.
Two giant spider elves were besieging the behemoth, surrounded by the corpses of demon-hunting spiders and black widows.
Drow's warriors, who were originally at the back of the battlefield, had already entered the battlefield. Under the cover of a large group of demon-hunting spiders, they had already broken through the blockade of Austeel Golems and Blacksteel Golems and engaged the nature elves and the elves in golden metal armor.
No one knew where these demon-hunting spiders came from. The battlefield was full of spider corpses, but the number of demon-hunting spiders active on the battlefield didn't seem to have decreased by much.
