Chapter 265: The Promoter of the New Age

Jonathan saw the city of the Elf Empire for the first time. He crossed Seth City, along the River of Life, then entered Sylve City in the Forest of Life. The elf wizards had become the most important part of the Elf Empire.

Everything in the city surprised Jonathan, especially the applications of the alchemy in the elves daily lives and their attempts to build a city of witchcraft with the help of alchemy, Blood Witchcraft, and dreamcraft. He was shocked by the elves' industriousness.

The rise of the Druids and the projection of boundary witchcraft that was used by the Boundary Wizards were also unexpected to Jonathan. Only then did he truly see the real Elf Kingdom, which was a world that was totally different from that of the Sun Elves.

What shocked Jonathan the most were the Ancient War Trees. He wondered...

How did the elves breed such powerful magical beasts, which are also extremely rare?

This exceeded Jonathan's imagination. The super-large witchcraft boundary that the elves created while working with the Ancient War Trees also felt like a dream to Jonathan.

He took his wife's hand and wandered around the city for two days. After that time, he knew that even the Sean City-State Alliance could not build such a dream-like city, which had required the combination of all kinds of witchcraft and countless elites' efforts to create.

Wizards and alchemists, compared to the elves, had a natural disadvantage. This was because they were mortal. Therefore, in order to make a breakthrough, they had to spend a lot of time learning. However, no wizard was willing to commit such a large amount of time to only education.

At that moment, a group of elves were wearing moonwhite cloaks, each of which had a green seed image on the back. They all wore a green pendant on their chests as well. They walked on the slate road, crossed the fountain square, then stepped up the stairs and headed for the central Sylve Palace.

"Who are they?" Jonathan asked his wife, Rosea.

Rosea remembered her husband's advice and carefully said, "They are the Moonlight Elves from the Silver Moon Forest. The marks on their clocks represent that they are the priests of the goddess of harvest!"

Jonathan nodded. He had never heard about this goddess before. He pondered about whether the goddess had always existed, or if, as Rosea had said, she was about to ascend the throne.

Jonathan could sense these priests' power, and it was a power that he was was familiar with. The Church of Light priests, who were always doing missionary work in the Sean City-State Alliance, and the heavenly palace priests, who were often in direct conflict with the Sean City-State Alliance, had taught the alchemists a good lesson about priests.

At this moment, Jonathan had a feeling of intense fear and bewilderment. At the same time, he also felt that a force was constantly pushing him forward, coaxing him closer to the truth.

Maybe it was just because of his curiosity, or maybe it was an attempt to trade with the Moonlight Elves in exchange for special products, but Jonathan once again led his crew across the Hagrid Grand Canyon and highlands to the northern Moonlight Elf Tribe. But, when he was about to enter the Moonlight Forest, Jonathan abruptly turned around and left!

Jonathan could feel the mighty power of the other party, even when he didn't use his mind power. Even the wild magical beasts were afraid to approach this area. Jonathan, who was an alchemist, trembled as soon as he was at the border, and his mind power was constantly warning him of the nearby threat.

"Let's hurry and retreat!" Jonathan urged the others to leave, not daring to step into the Moonlight Elf Tribe's territory.

The group quickly gave up their intention of trading, as the Moonlight Forest completely suppressed their witchcraft power. This terrible existence made them feel intensely frightened.

Even though Jonathan already knew what was in the forest, he didn't say a word...

——————-

After trading in Sylve City and receiving an interview from Wendy, Queen of the Sylve Empire, Jonathan began his return journey. It had been more than a year since he had left Alan, and the whole crew was looking forward to returning.

Although the Yala Continent was beautiful, it was not their home. They belonged to the human world.

During their return journey, their fleet was filled with cargo. Even Jonathan had brought a lot of witchcraft slaves and Pipi Elves aboard.

This was because witchcraft slaves were the most suitable creatures for hard labor, while Pipi Elves had great wisdom, and their abilities to turn invisible and become temporarily deformed made them perfect for certain high-level tasks.

On the ship, many sailors watched Yala disappear from sight, bit by bit. They felt a little sad, but were still excited to return home. When they thought about the fact that they would stay on the ship for nearly a year, facing all kinds of dangers along the way, they began to feel a little desperate.

"Why is it getting so dark? What's that? Look at the sky!" a sailor suddenly shouted.

When they had not gone very far from Yala, the fleet encountered something amazing. They saw a huge floating city, which was emerging from the clouds!

Many of the people present immediately recalled the old story about the famous painting of the great artist Lars, "The Capital of God." They all started shouting in amazement...

"The Capital of God!"

"My God, it really exists! This truly is the legendary city of gods!"

"The legend is real!"

Everyone was shocked at the scene before them. Even the powerful alchemists could never have expected to see such a thing!

As Lars had graduated from Akkad Alchemy College, most people thought that his painting was just a work of art that was based on the legends and his imagination. No alchemist thought that the city was real.

As everyone on board stared at the floating city in the sky, their mouths were wide open. The giant flying city hovered in the sky above the fleet, its huge shadow covering the whole sea.

The sharp-eyed Jonathan saw the bottom of the floating city, which was a huge mysterious pattern that looked like a tree. The pattern was composed of mysterious images.

There were 17 round wheels, each of which flashed a special symbol. Four of them looked quite familiar to Jonathan.

"The Church of Light, the Faith of the Sun, the heavenly palace, and the goddess of harvest!" Jonathan exclaimed.

He immediately remembered the four religions that he knew had gods, each of whose symbols now appeared on a strange pattern, which was branded on the huge sky city. It was the legendary capital of god!

At the moment, above the city, two figures leaned on its edge, looking down at the sea below. The huge fleet, when seen from the floating city, was only a few small, black spots.

Eva looked at Lu Zhiyu and asked, "Is that them? Have you decided yet, master?"

Lu Zhiyu nodded. "They will start a new era. Although they are not the heroes, they will still play important roles. It's not that I chose them, but that they happened to come here at such a time!"

After he said this, the floating city immediately broke through the clouds, penetrated the space, and left!
