Chapter 342 Elf Kingdom
Two people walked into the forest. The tall trees blocked the sky and blocked the fierce sunlight, making the entire environment very shady.
After entering the forest, they walked only about a kilometer, and soon the gate of a city came into view.
"Is this the New Moon City?" Lin Tianlang looked at the tall city gate and said.
The city gate is quite impressive, and there are many soldiers wearing golden helmets guarding the city wall.
"Who is it?" A soldier on the city wall shouted to the two people below. But before they could answer, he recognized the person. To be precise, he recognized Sherry.
"Ah, it's Lady Sherrys who is back! Go and greet Lady Sherrys!"
The two continued to walk towards the city gate, and then a captain-like guy came out with a group of soldiers.
These people are obviously elves. They wear light leather armor, and only the vital parts are covered with golden armor. Wearing a golden helmet on his head, he looks very majestic. They wore long knives on their waists, bows on their backs, and quivers on their backs. They were all fully armed.
"Lord Sherry." The captain elf walked up to the two of them, lowered his head slightly towards Sherry, and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite." Sherry said softly.
"Lord Sherry, this is..." The captain turned his attention to Lin Tianlang behind Sherry.
"Ah, this is my friend, classmate Lin Tianlang." Sherry introduced.
Lin Tianlang was a little cautious and nodded towards the captain. After all, this is a country of elves, and he may be the only foreigner in the entire city, which makes Lin Tianlang feel a little nervous.
"Lord Shirley's friend..." The captain stared at Lin Tianlang for a long time, and then immediately became respectful: "Could it be that this is the guest who visited the Crescent City as told by His Majesty the King? ?”
"His Majesty the King's guest?" Sheris was a little confused and looked back at Sirius. Lin Tianlang was even more confused. When did I become the king's guest? I do not know how?
"His Majesty told us the day before yesterday that a guest from the human race would come back to Crescent City in a few days and asked us to entertain him well." The captain said to Sheris.
"???" Lin Tianlang was still confused.
"Your Majesty also said that this human guest is a student of Shenglun Magic Academy and a classmate of Master Shiris, so it is obvious that he is this master." The captain saluted Lin Sirius and said to the latter Considerable respect.
"No, no, no, you don't have to be like this! You're too polite!" Lin Tianlang was flattered and said quickly.
Although I still don’t know what happened, and I became the king’s guest for no reason, but for now I’d better enter the city first.
"Then you two, please follow me." The captain said to the two, and then looked at the other elf soldiers behind him: "The rest of you, go back to your positions."
"Yes! Lord Ossis!"
The soldiers scattered and returned to the city wall.
"You two, please." Guard Captain Ossis made a "please" gesture.
"Lord Ossis, you really don't have to do this..." Sherry pursed her lips and said.
"Lord Sherry, this is His Majesty's order. After the guest arrives, he will be taken to meet His Majesty," Osis said.
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, then fine." Sherry sighed softly, and then said no more.
Ossis led the two of them into the Crescent City.
"Sheris...do you have a high status here? They all call you Sir Shelice..." Lin Tianlang whispered in Sheris's ear.
"Classmate Lin Tianlang, I will explain this to you later." Shirley shook her head slightly and said.
"Uh, okay." Lin Tianlang didn't say anything more, but seeing other people being so respectful to Sherry made Lin Tianlang a little nervous again.
Although Shirley made it clear that she was not a princess, how did he know if she was the daughter of some other boss? What if others knew that he was so close to Sherry, would they cause trouble for him?
But this is not important for the time being, because after entering the Crescent City, Lin Tianlang was quickly attracted by other things.
"Wow - thi -" Lin Tianlang couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the spectacular scene in front of him.
In front of him was a magical and beautiful elf country. Not compared with the human world, even compared with towns like St. Lent City, the appearance of Crescent City can be said to be completely different.
Here, there are no houses on the ground, and those towering trees are the houses of the elves. Lin Tianlang saw that the big trees had been transformed into tree houses, and the huge tree trunks extended out to form "paths". There are also some suspension bridges connecting the trees, forming a huge sky town.
Lin Sirius saw children running. Of course they were children from the elves, both boys and girls. They also have blond hair and have pointed, long ears.
The city is very lively. Between the big trees, the elves visit each other to greet each other, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. However, Lin Sirius did not find the old man.
As he understood, the elves are a race that does not age. Their lifespan can generally reach over 200 years. Although this lifespan is slightly shorter than the version of the immortal elves that Lin Sirius heard about in the human world, they are still quite long-lived.
There is no old or weak among the elves. Their appearance will become fixed after they reach about thirty-five years old, and they will stop aging from then on. When they reach the end of their lives, they will fly away directly.
In addition to the lively residents, there are also heavily armed soldiers patrolling the ground in Crescent City. They are majestic and seem to be ready for battle at any time.
All in all, the first impression of Crescent City on Lin Sirius was first of all, grandeur, and secondly of harmony. The entire race and the entire city are completely integrated with this forest, and there is no sense of abruptness like a town rising out of the forest.
Glancing behind him, Lin Tianlang discovered that the city wall was actually integrated with the environment. Although the materials for building the city wall are also bricks and stones, they look completely different from the high walls of St. Lent City.
"It's so amazing..." Lin Tianlang couldn't stop the admiration in his mouth as he walked away. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in such a city, and he might have to spend the next few days or even weeks here, which made Lin Sirius feel great expectations. .
"What is the approximate permanent population of your Crescent City?" Lin Tianlang asked Sherry next to him.
He had learned before that the permanent population of St. Lunt City was approximately one hundred thousand, including all races. Of course, this population cannot be compared with those megacities in the human world with tens of millions of people, but in the magic world, this population is already considered to be a lot.
The only city with a larger population than St. Lent is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, the Holy City, known as the "most fortified city". It is said that that city has a permanent population of more than half a million, which is a very large number in the magical world.
"Hmm...probably around four to five thousand." Sherry lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said.
In fact, upon closer inspection, the scale of Crescent City is actually not that big. If this were placed in the human world, it would be at the level of a medium-sized town. A population of four to five thousand is not too large, but if all four to five thousand are elves (which they are), it will be different.
There is certainly no way to compare the overall population of the magical world with that of the human world. The elves are already one of the major races in the magic world. Having a settlement with a population of four to five thousand people is the most favorable evidence.
For example, werewolves or other ethnic minorities can only mix among other races, and it is impossible to have a large settlement like Crescent City.
"Crescent City is only the largest settlement of the elves. In addition to Crescent City, there are some other elven towns, but they are not that big." Sheris said.
"Lord Sherry! Lord Osis!" Along the way, some patrolling elven warriors greeted Sherry and the guard captain Ossis, and at the same time cast curious glances at Lin Sirius.
"Who is this Osis..." Lin Sirius asked quietly in Sheris's ear. At first, he thought that Ossis was just an ordinary soldier captain, but now it seems that his identity is far from that simple.
"Lord Ossis is the captain of the Royal Guard and is responsible for the basic defense of Crescent City." Sherrys explained.
"No wonder." Lin Tianlang suddenly realized. The captain of the Guard is responsible for the basic defense of the city. In the way he understood it, he was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. It was strange that his status was not high.
Lin Tianlang knew Ossis's identity, but he was still curious about Sherry's identity. People in Crescent City also call Sherry "Sir", so what position does she hold?
Although Lin Tianlang was curious about this, he did not ask immediately. Sherry just said that she would find out later, so she is not an impatient person, and she will not be short of it in just a moment.
"Mom, look, that boy, isn't he an elf?"
"Yes, there are foreigners coming to Crescent City? It's rare."
"That guy seems to be a human race, which is even more surprising."
"Human race? Two days ago, wasn't there news from the royal family that His Majesty the King invited a guest from the human race? Could it be him? What kind of background does this guy have... He actually asked His Majesty to arrange for someone to receive him specially..."
"..."
Gradually, Lin Tianlang's appearance attracted the attention of some residents in the city. They all cast curious glances at Lin Tianlang and started talking about it. Fortunately, Lin Tianlang didn't feel any hostility. Whether you are a foreigner or a human being, it is normal for others to be curious.
After all, who told me to be in an elven kingdom now?
