Chronicle of the Elf Realm

Chapter 10: Holy Water Palace

Gaudí said: Straight lines belong to humans, curves belong to God.

Not far ahead is a castle that can be called God’s building.

It combines grotesqueness and fantasy romance. There are no straight lines or planes in the entire building. The design uses changes in cones, spirals, hyperbolas and parabolas. The castle is entirely built of milky white stone. The spiral spiers are more than 18 meters high and decorated with various colorful tiles. There are spiers in total.

On three sides of the castle, there are four snow-white spiers with a height of 95 meters, symbolizing the elders who have achieved the greatest achievements in the Shui Tribe's Elder Council in the past. There are also four red spiers with a height of 107 meters in the inner circle, symbolizing the four most outstanding saints of the Shui Tribe in the past. , and the two tallest towers in the middle, painted with golden paint, are symbols of King Louis and his Queen. The entire castle is as solemn and sacred as a medieval Catholic church, with the iconic three colors of snow-white, red and golden. The spiers covered in color exude a bold and stunning style.

There are three huge arches on the east side of the castle, with the themes of "Hope", "Goodness" and "Courage" from left to right. The Gothic carvings are rich and complex; the west side is carved with water elves of all ages. The image of the Holy Chosen One is lifelike on the milky white original color stone, while the south facade is known as the "Glory Facade". The surface is made of colorful mosaic tiles and is brightly colored. It is the front of the palace. If you come to the Glory facade, light golden fonts will appear in neat rows, which is the history recorded in the past of the Shui Tribe.

There is a strange-shaped arcade in front of the palace. They have no support inside and do not have any material structure. They are completely made of staggered and stacked stones. The design is extremely clever and is the only safe passage into the palace.

The entire palace has a large-scale basement. It is located on the cliff of a mountain in the middle of the sea. The north side is closely integrated with the mountain, perfectly integrating with the natural landscape.

Sijia had to lament that a famous architect once said: Straight lines belong to humans, and curves belong to God.

Hex carried Sijia and flew through the natural stone arcade, and finally saw a cave door, about 20 meters high and ten meters wide, with a natural water curtain hanging from the top of the cave entrance. It hit the ground and disappeared silently. , without the slightest trace of water stains, this is the water gate of the palace, made of water, made of heaven and earth.

"Welcome to the Holy Water Palace."

A dull voice sounded. Minato was like an artificial intelligence. He noticed the visitor and expressed his welcome first.

The water curtain automatically opened a circle with a diameter of two meters in the middle, just enough for two people to pass through. Hex carried Sijia and drove straight in.

Arriving inside the palace, Hex had to stop. Flying was prohibited inside the palace. The wings disappeared behind him, and his intact clothes had no holes at all, which was very magical.

They are now in the hall. There are 84 Roman-style columns standing in the hall. They are slightly tilted towards the center, so that they not only have a supporting function but also have a drainage effect. Beautiful and unique murals are painted on the walls of the hall. The top is a super The large stained glass allows light to penetrate in, which can achieve a fantastic visual effect. Various exquisite sculptures are artistically arranged in the hall, and natural and primitive plants are perfectly integrated with the palace.

Hex led Sijia up the spiral staircase made of white marble.

Si Jia looked at this luxurious palace, his jaw almost dropped, and he thought in his heart: He met a rich man.

Half of the basement is submerged into the mountain, while the other half is exposed in a white wavy shape. The balcony is paved with naturally polished smooth stone slabs, surrounded by polished black iron railings, and equipped with double-sided floor-to-ceiling windows for lighting, making it look grand and unique. This basement is the main living place for the princes and nobles.

The entrance to the basement and even the basement corridors are heavily guarded, with groups of chainmail-armed elf guards constantly patrolling.

Sijia was led by Hex to the top floor of the nearest tower. Through the double-sided lighting glass installed on the windows there, it can be understood that this mountain is located in the center of a body of water called Barnard's Bay. Barnard's Bay is an aquarium territory. The center of the capital city, where everything about the capital can be observed.

Hex took him to sit on a suspended corridor. Si Jia approached the yellow brick guardrail and looked down. At a height of nearly meters, there seemed to be a small square underground. I really don’t know what happened to these elves. It is possible to suspend a square in the middle of the castle out of thin air, which is simply a reproduction of the Garden of Babylon in the air.

The square is very spacious, with endless green lawns all over the place. A towering black monument stands in the center of the square. At the top of it stands a statue of King Louis, who later people told Siga. Surrounding the middle of the monument column, there are carved The statues of the saints of the five ancient tribes flying in the sky are surrounded by eight huge eagle-headed and lion-body statues around the base. The ancient history of the Elf Realm is recorded on the black stone pillar at the bottom. Near the monument, you can see several fountains with splashing water. There are even a large group of pigeons walking leisurely next to the stone benches.

Si Jia was not only in awe of this great creature like the elves, but he was actually able to create such a stunning building. This kind of building is probably not just a matter of spending money, but also requires unparalleled design wisdom and supernatural power.

Of course, Hex casually placed him in the guest room in another tower and left without saying a word.

It's hard for Si Jia not to know that the guest room in the tower has always only accommodated elves of the elder level to stay temporarily.

Hex endured the mixed feelings in his heart and jumped from the top of the tower, falling and flying away.

Si Jia sat numbly on the soft big bed, holding his cheek and thinking carefully. His forehead hair was messy and scattered, and his sea-blue eyes were exposed. Obviously he was very confused about what His Highness suddenly became. Inenji had never told him about this, although it seemed that he was from the royal family at the beginning.

In another tower dozens of meters away, there is a conference room. The conference room is paved with mahogany floors. Three of the original four white walls are decorated with oak paneling and red woven tapestries. The other white wall is abruptly decorated. Stayed. The ceiling of the conference room is painted with gorgeous gold-painted paintings, creating a fantasy atmosphere. There is a luxurious marble fireplace on one side of the room, and on both sides of the fireplace are gilded bookshelves filled with ancient books. In this Baroque-style conference room, there are also gold-plated mirrors on the walls, and four red leather sofas are arranged in a square order in the center of the conference room.

In that conference room, many elves gathered at this moment. A spiritual illusionist was using the mirror perspective technique to observe Sijia through the water-green vines wrapped around the body and a silver-edged water mirror. In the mirror was water. The elements, like slowly flowing mercury, dialyzed the scene in the room where Sijia was in very clearly.

After a moment, there was a sound of rapid and heavy footsteps, and several white-haired old men in colorful clothes came in, followed closely by rows of elf soldiers in chainmail clothes.

The clothes of the leader of the old man are very gorgeous. A round cloak with mainly dark red and yellow woven edges is covered over a green silk robe. Gold ornaments inlaid with gems are hung around his neck. Although his feet are holy white jade rings, , but the white jade ring is also embellished with a circle of diamonds, showing the unique identity of the owner.

The remaining old men were basically wearing large ankle-length cloaks made of blue fox fur with a fur lining and fur trim, covered with silk shawls, and underneath were yellow-white buttoned robes with sleeves, covering their heads. Ankle.

From these few old men, the tip of the iceberg can reflect the ultimate luxury of Aquarium.

The Shui Tribe mainly deals in high-end businesses. Its auction houses are famous and can be found in most of the Elf Territory, so they are also the richest among the five tribes.

The row of elven soldiers is also very attractive. They have bright silver chainmail that reaches to the knees. The coat is covered with a mid-sleeved Surcott coat embroidered with the aquatic heraldry. There is silver-gray grooved plate armor to protect the exposed forearms. Because he was in the inner sanctum, he did not wear a metal peaked helmet. He wore a red and white belt around his waist, leather tights with soles, studded soft trousers to protect his thighs tightly, and silver knee pads on his knees, which were different from the silver ones. The plate armor and greaves were riveted together, and the white jade rings glowed faintly at the ankles. A slender sword hung from a hidden buckle of the belt, and a silver shield was pinned to the back.

This is the Imperial Guard of the Water Tribe, nicknamed "Chain-mail Water".

Haiya, who was originally sitting lazily on the red sofa, slowly stood up. According to the etiquette of the aristocracy, she slightly bowed to the leader of the old man.

Haiya had already changed into dark green bell sleeves and a slicked-back robe. Her original sea-blue hair was braided by the ingenious maid, and she wore a platinum lightweight headband, which looked like a medieval one. She was an Italian socialite before, but she was originally a princess of the water tribe, so how could she look so similar to her?

The leader of the old man nodded slightly to her. The old man exuded a powerful aura of calmness and authority. He was the head of the Water Elf Family Senate, Haili Shantehaiya. He was the one who raised him. The water elves can be said to have unparalleled prestige.

Hayrisant bypassed the spiritual illusionist in a hooded robe, came straight to Haiya, and asked softly: "Are you sure?"

Haiya instantly blushed, and her tone of voice was slightly higher, implying a hint of anger: "Elder, don't you believe in Haiya's ability to discern? The moment I looked into his eyes, the only feeling I had was He is so similar to me.”

Apart from pure blood, what else can make Haiya feel similar?

"That's it." Hailishante turned his back and waved his hand, and the spiritual illusionist automatically handed over the water mirror.

Hillisant stared at the mirror for a long time, and others felt that his light brown eyes almost turned red. Finally, he waved his hand.

The spiritual illusionist gently cast a lingering magic on the water mirror. After the water mirror turned several times in the air with icy blue light, a clear water projection fell on the white wall that was originally left abruptly. . Sijia's face was instantly magnified on the wall.

"What do you guys think?" Hailishante moved casually and sat on the cherished red sofa. Even after the vicissitudes of time, his face was still as firm as a young man in his twenties and thirties, but the fine lines gave him an old look. Thick feeling.

The other elders talked a lot, and most of them looked surprised, but in the end Haili Shante didn't say anything, and they would not express any opinions at will.

"If no one says anything, then it's up to me to decide."

Helishante's eyes did not leave Si Jia's face for a moment. He smiled with an unknown reason and spoke softly, just like throwing pebbles on a calm lake, spreading out ripples in circles.

"Elder, what are you going to do?" Haiya held her hands tightly in front of her chest, feeling very nervous.

"My good princess, don't be so nervous." Highlights laughed loudly.

Haiya's face was slightly red. She would only call Hailishante uncle when no one was around in private. However, in such a formal occasion today, she respectfully called him elder, but Hailishante behaved very casually. He always treats her as a child, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her again just now, but how could she alert the Senate if she wasn't sure about such a big matter?

"I plan to notify all the water elves to hold a competition. As long as he wins. It's just the right time, right? Everyone, and our water tribe has not been in a good mood for a long time. The young guys' hands and feet should be weak. "After all, it has been quiet for too long, too long." Haili Shante called to a waiter, who respectfully handed over a clean and impurity-free goblet and poured mellow and sweet red wine.

"Yes, it's time." The other elders thought for a while, and finally agreed, nodding one after another with solemn expressions on their faces.

"What if we lose?" Haiya asked impatiently.

"My princess, you care about him so much, I think he shouldn't live up to your expectations and lose." Heilishante turned the wine glass in his hand and drank the bright red wine in one gulp.

After Haiya and the elders left, Haylisant stood in front of the white wall with water projection and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "What do you think if you lose?"
