Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 162: The Girl, the Spirit of the Ancient Tree

In the elven castle, all the elven elders’ faces were extremely gloomy.

Finally, as if they had made a decision, one of the beautiful female elven elders looked at Serena and said, “Serena, why don’t we go and ask mother for permission?”

“Let’s see what she has decided.”

“Mm, since things have come to this, only mother can make the decision for us.”

Serena nodded. Then, Serena flew out of the elven castle with a few elven elders and arrived in front of a towering tree.

The ancient elven tree was very lush. The branches of the ancient tree had dots of light on them, just like the stars in the night sky.

These specks of light nurtured the silent nature elves. Apart from nurturing elves, the ancient elven tree would occasionally shed specks of green light on its branches, protecting the development of the elven tribe.

The ancient elven tree was Serena’s mother. Since the birth of their tribe, this ancient elven tree had existed for two thousand years. During this period, it nurtured thousands of elves, forming the current elven tribe.

Serena and the elven elders looked up at the ancient elven tree and bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, mother.”

“Your child has encountered some troubles recently. I hope that you can show yourself and show us the way!”

Serena spoke with a guilty look on her face. To be honest, if it was not for the fact that the Eelven tribe had no other way to go, she did not want her mother to worry.

Hearing Serena’s call.

“Sigh…”

With a soft sigh, a slim elven girl in green appeared in front of the elves.

The elven girl sat on the tree trunk. Her shoulder-length hair and bare feet looked at the elders.

The spirit of the ancient elven tree was also their mother.

The ancient elven tree was already two thousand years old, but to the ancient elven tree that could easily live for tens of thousands of years, this age was indeed still a young girl.

The young elven girl looked at Serena and the elders and said, “Serena, all of you can get up. From the moment Serena returned to the tribe, I already knew about the Dragon Lord.”

“That Dragon Lord is very powerful. It is indeed not a level that our natural elven tribe can deal with now.”

“Just now, I also tried to probe the trump card of that Dragon Lord, but I still didn’t get anything.”

Hearing her mother’s words. Serena and the elders were stunned again. They raised their heads to look at the young girl, full of surprise.

“What, mother, even you!”

The elf girl smiled, swaying her feet while gently stroking her green hair.

“Our understanding of the Castle Lord is still too limited, far less than their understanding of us.”

“Speaking of the whole, Serena, after so many years, I feel that you children should grow up. You can’t always let me make decisions for you every time something happens.”

“If that’s the case, you will never be able to stand on your own. How can our nature elven tribe be strong enough to contribute to the elven queen of the central region?”

“Mother, but this matter is really too…”

Serena looked at the elf girl and wanted to say something, but the girl glared at her.

Finally, she slowly lowered her head and said, “I think that joining the Dragon Castle is the best decision right now. Due to that terrifying beam of light that surpasses the demigod level, even if the elf tribe has your protection, they’ll never be able to safely leave the Dark Forest.”

“Elders, what do you think?”

Serena turned to look at the elders. The elf elders looked at each other anxiously before finally nodding at the elf girl.

“Mother, we are also willing to join the Dragon Castle now.”

“We have been struggling with one point in our hearts, and that is you…”

“You have been educating us since the day we were born. The nature elves are pure and noble. We do not take the initiative to provoke enemies, but we are also not afraid of any enemies. We are only loyal to Her Majesty the elf queen for our entire lives.”

Looking at the elven elders who were in a dilemma, the elven girl shook her head.

“It is true that we nature elves are noble, but you have overlooked one point. When I was teaching you, I placed purity before nobility. This is telling you one thing.”

“That is, the purity of the nature elves will always be more important than nobility.”

“We nature elves are a family. In order to protect our people and ensure that our descendants can continue to reproduce, we will do whatever it takes, even if… we have to abandon our nobility!”

“We who protect our descendants will always be noble. Even if we submit to the forces of others, this will never change!”

At this point, the elf girl’s feet kept shaking as she looked at the bright moon in the distance.

“Moreover, our Dark Forest’s nature elf tribe is only a small border tribe of Her Majesty the queen of the elf empire.”

“Even if we submit to others, it’s for survival. The elven queen won’t punish us too much!”

“We just need that Dragon Lord to not order us to attack other elven forces.”

The Elven tribe was diverse. Due to the elven Queen’s rule, different elven forces could not kill each other. Those who violated the rule would be spurned by all the elves and attacked by the elven forces around them.

Therefore, the elves of the Endless Continent were always the most united race. This was also the bottom line of the nature elven tribe.

Once the Dragon Lord ordered them to attack the other elven forces, it would be an insult to them. For this, they would rather die in battle!

On the contrary, it was not a big deal to submit to the Dragon Lord and hunt down other forces. There was nothing in the Endless Continent that the elves feared.

“Serena, do you understand what I’m saying?” The elf girl looked at Serena.

“I understand!” Serena nodded gently.

Of the elf girl’s words, Serena and the elders had already tacitly agreed to submit to the Dragon Castle, as long as the Dragon Lord did not cross their bottom line.

The rest was up to them to inform the other elves in the nature elf tribe about this matter.

After the matter was spread out, the elves in the Elf tribe also had a fierce dispute. However, in the end, they all agreed and decided to submit to the Dragon Castle.

…

At night, in the elf tribe.

At this time, the elves had all fallen asleep.

Serena was still gently leaning against the body of the ancient elven Tree, hugging her knees, as if she wanted to accompany her mother and say a few more words. She did not leave.

She turned to look at the elven girl on the tree and asked, “mother, you didn’t say anything from our tribe’s dispute to agreeing to submit to the Dragon Castle. Are you looking after the Dragon Castle?”
