Chapter 319: The Elves

Tristan and his companion finally arrived at the majestic palace. The palace was made of transparent stones that gleamed in various colors whenever the light hit it in just the right way, creating a beautiful symphony of combined colors.

The Arcadian ship hovered and landed at the spot allocated by the few flyers that were flying with them just now.

As soon as the ship door opened, Tristan could see the dozen flyers. They were all  elves with white and grey hair. Elves that look similar to him. 

They were the high elves and currently these high elves looked at him with a similar curiosity as he stared at them.

Tristan watched all the elves and quickly scanned their strength.

Surprisingly all of them were saint level mages within the 600-800 spirit force range. Although they were not magus level, their innate wind element gave them the ability to cast flying spells.

Seeing these dozen flying elves, Tristan's mood had changed for the better. These flying elves were his best hope to fight against those space knights' ships. He just hoped there were lots of them.

As soon as they saw queen Leena of the Vanyar they suddenly put their hand on their chest to give a respectful gesture.

Not long after Tristan saw a young high elf with slightly different silver robes coming to approach him.

"Greetings, queen of Vanyar and.." he went to search and found Tristan's relaxed stare with a surprised look before saying "king of Arcadia.. welcome"

The young high elf introduced himself as Theon. Although he tried to be as hospitable as he can but from the gesture and tone Tristan can feel pride within him.

[Male, High Elf]

[Saint-level mage]

[Battle Power: 170]

[Spirit Force: 1,000]

[Element Affinity - Ice, Wind, Lighting]

He didn't seem to have a high rank but he had the same strength as Prince Elroth. These high elves certainly are on a different level. There seems to be a reason he acted proudly like that.

Now that he was closer, Tristan was able to have a better look at the palace. It seems that the walls were not made of glass, it was made with special ice that could absorb and refract a lot of light, creating the beautiful effect he had observed before. Gray stones reinforced the base structure, creating a beautiful yet strong abode.

Theon brought them past many rooms, and they crossed huge halls during their passage, but they did not see many elves around. The ones Tristan did see would walk so calmly and quietly, making the stillness in the air a bit more terrifying. He felt like he was entering a grand temple.

Serene noticed Tristan's confused gaze and explained.

"There were only about two hundred known high elves out here, hence most of those here have lived a thousand years"

The group then began to climb a series of stairs until they exited the palace onto the peak of the mountain. There were still a few more stairs until they reached a separate building that appeared to be guarded. However Theon brought the group to the area on the side of the building.

Tristan could see multiple grey stones standing as high as 4 meters arranged in a circle formation just like those stones in Britain.

In the center of all the stones there were huge round tables made of similar stones and dozens of figures, all of them are elves. With only one human, the old wizard Tobias.

As soon as they saw the Queen of Vanyar, the elves gave a little nod. Certainly different treatment than what was given toward Elroth, the current ruler of Forlorn.

As for Tristan, none of them knew him hence Tobias quickly introduced him

"This is Tristan, the new king of Arcadia"

The elves appeared to have received the news about Tristan's coronation, but still their faces revealed traces of awkward expressions. It was understandable, after all, Callan was a very popular and famous king who had ruled Arcadia for quite a few years, and his kind disposition towards others brought him favors. Now that Tristan, someone unknown in their eyes, had deposed their beloved king, everything was back to awkward.

There were a dozen elves standing while two were sitting. from a glance to their face Tristan realized they are all wood elves. Hence the two who were seated must be the ruler of two other wood elves races.

Queen Serene introduced him to the two of them. The one in grey tunic was a strong looking warrior from the Ithelien kingdom named Tolith and the thin, tall elf wearing the green tunic adorned with embroidery of stars and trees was the Mirkwood ruler, an elder named Haladar.

All the elves standing are all saint level while the two of them

[Male, wood Elf]

[Magus, crescent moon]

[Battle Power: 210]

[Spirit Force: 1,100]

[Element Affinity - earth, water, plant]

[Male, wood Elf]

[Magus, crescent moon]

[Battle Power: 160]

[Spirit Force: 1,530]

[Element Affinity - earth, water, plant]

The Ithilien rulers were just standard magus elves while the elder had the same strength as Master Laril.

As Elves have a very long lifespan, Tristan can only guess how old the Mirkwood elders were. It was most likely a few thousand at least.

While at it Tristan decided to take this chance to see Tobias' stats

[Male, Human]

[Magus, halfmoon]

[Battle Power: 205]

[Spirit Force: 2,810]

[Element Affinity - Light, Thunder]

Tristan had expected the Arcadian Grand Wizard to be powerful, and the numbers indeed did not disappoint. Rather, he gained a newfound respect towards the old wizard. Perhaps he should treat the old man with more respect

Now that all the wood elves ruler has gathered, Queen Vanyar turn bored

"Where is the host?! And where the hell are the dark elves!" The queen shouted, making her impatience known.

The young elf, Theon, approached the table without any trace of fear in his gaze, before he looked at the queen and said "they will be here shortly, thank you for your patience"

If there was an underlying meaning to those words, Tristan could not find any.

As if on cue, a loud shout from Leena broke his thoughts.

"Ah, finally, here they are!" Leena shouted while staring intently at the skies at the northern side of the palace.

Tristan turn his head and see toward the area and see 5 creatures flying toward them

It was a huge creature that looked like a dragon but with grey skin and long heads. It appears Tristan knows the creature from his memory. It's the fell beast, a grey flying wyvern. A beast that is just one level under the mighty dragon.

The five beasts approached and hovered close to the meeting place before one by one, they flew down to the meeting place.

Four male and one female elf jumped down from the mount. They all had dark greyish skin and white hair. The first three all looked similar, thin-looking male dark elves, but Tristan could see that their thin body believed their true strength. The fourth man, unlike the others, possessed a large build. He has a massive mask covering his entire face and he stood behind the female elf without saying anything the whole time. If it wasn't for his ears, Tristan would have thought the elf as an enslaved troll.

Last but not least, the elf that stole everyone's attention from the start, the female dark elf..

She was a dark-skinned elf with beautiful, long and luscious silver hair. The moment Tristan entered her field of vision, she quickly took a sharp glance towards him.

The silver-haired woman was a famous dark elf named princess ILana, while the one behind her was her guardian and the three others were the famous dark elves triplets. The dark elves only sent five representatives, but thanks to his device, Tristan could easily see that all of them are at least magus level in terms of combat power.

[Male, Dark Elf]

[Magus, crescent moon]

[Battle Power: 202]

[Spirit Force: 1,545]

[Element Affinity - Darkness, Metal, Fire]

All three elves who were triplets have very similar stats and abilities as the dark elf princess.

As for the other two they are at the maximum limit of the crescent moon magus stage.

[Magus, crescent moon]

[Battle Power: 189]

[Spirit Force: 2,000]

[Element Affinity - darkness, Metal, Fire]

From his muscular body, Tristan had expected the dark elf to be strong physically, but he still decided to check his stats just in case. The moment he read the result, he was slightly surprised.

[Male, Dark Elves]

[Magus, crescent moon]

[Battle Power: 265]

[Spirit Force: 2,000]

[Element Affinity - Metal]

The huge elf, just like all the elves here, still shared the same powerful spirit force, but what concerned Tristan more was the last line from the report.  According to the scan, the huge elf had only one elemental affinity,'making him a rarity amongst the elves.
