Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: 360 Phoenix Club (1/2)
Chapter 360: 360 Phoenix Club
The Elf King’s Court today is filled with joy and laughter, much like a festive celebration. A grand bonfire party is being held in front of the square.
For the elf clan, this is a day worth celebrating.
Firstly, the Mother Tree of the elves has finally been rescued.
Secondly, they have gained another Mother Tree.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the new Mother Tree is the lost one for over ten thousand years.
In the era of the Elfin Empire, the Elf Clan possessed two Mother Trees.
These two trees were the source of the Elf Clan.
Latterly, when the Elfin Empire collapsed, the surviving elves were only able to carry away one Mother Tree and the other was cut down by humans.
After the elves retreated to the Misty Forest, the last male elf born naturally died, and it has been exactly ten thousand years since then.
From then on, the Elf Clan became a species reproducing unisexually, and no male child was born ever since.
Now, another Mother Tree capable of giving birth to male children has finally returned to the Elf Clan.
For them, this is fantastic news.
After ten thousand years, the Elf Clan finally welcomed a male child again.
The High Priest performed a baptism for the newborn male child named William in front of thousands of clansmen.
For a moment, thousands of elves cheered jubilantly.
It can be foreseen that in the next hundred years, the population of the Elf Clan will experience explosive growth.
Previously, the population of the elves was limited to the productivity of the Mother Tree.
Now, with an additional Mother Tree, the productivity has increased.
Plus the appearance of males, the Elf Clan can now increase its population through natural conception.
For the disaster-ridden elves, there is no better news than this.
…
Gu Yang didn’t join in the festivities. He was studying the Bow of the Moon God.
This bow, referred to as the ultimate artifact in the West Bank Continent, is a weapon used by gods, and only Half Gods can exert its power.
This thing is quite unique. It only recognizes the power of Taiyin Youying, and if the power is replaced, it won’t work properly.
Moreover, the consumption required to draw this bow is gigantic. He tried it once and found that to fully draw it, all the power of Taiyin Youying, once embodied, will be consumed.
As Gu Yang was thinking, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the front door.
An old voice came, “Roderick, Vice President of Northwest Mage Alliance from the West Bank Continent, seeks an audience, sir.”
The individual standing outside was a being at the Unleaking Realm, Level Three.
Moreover, the person was not an elf, but a human mage.
By day, he had just arrived here. With the divine power of Clairaudience and Clairvoyance, he scanned the surrounding area and found this person’s presence.
The Northwest Mage Alliance, as Gu Yang recalled, was mentioned by Eve. It’s one of the three major mage forces among human beings.
Gu Yang opened the door and smiled, “It’s an honor to have distinguished guests.”
The visitor was the Sage of the Wind. He was dressed in a white robe, wearing a pointy magic hat, holding an exquisite magic wand, and was very formally dressed.
Upon meeting, he performed a formal Mage’s courtesy.
Gu Yang also reciprocated with a bow, following the etiquette of martial artists of Great Zhou Region, and said, “Please have a seat.”
The Sage of the Wind sat across from him and smiled, “I hope you’d forgive my intrusion at this late hour.”
“I wonder what brings you here, sir?” Gu Yang, who doesn’t like pleasantries, asked the point-blank question.
“Please allow me to set up a small soundproof barrier.”
The Sage of the Wind manipulated his magic wand to set up a magic spell inside the room.
Gu Yang did not stop him, waiting for him to continue speaking.
“Do you know about the Phoenix Club?”
So it’s related to the Phoenix.
It piqued Gu Yang’s interest. Lily comes from a certain organization related to the Phoenix in the West Bank Continent, likely this Phoenix Club.
The Phoenix Gall given to him by Lily was of great help to him.
He was always curious about this force.
Unfortunately, his visit to the West Bank Continent this time was short, for at most one day. According to the original plan, he would leave with Eve at dawn the next day.
Therefore, he hadn’t considered inquiring about the affairs of the Phoenix Club.
Unexpectedly, someone showed up at his door, voluntarily bringing up the Phoenix Club.
Gu Yang shook his head, “Never heard of it.”
The Sage of the Wind was not surprised and introduced, “The Phoenix Club has a long history, established for over ten thousand years, and our ideal is…”
Gu Yang waited for him to finish before pulling the conversation back on track, “So, you’re here for the Phoenix?”
“Exactly.”
The Sage of the Wind acknowledged the point raised and no longer beat around the bush, he said, “I won’t hide it from you, the reason why our Phoenix Club is named after the Phoenix is because our founding leader was a devout believer of the Phoenix–”
“Believer?”
Gu Yang interrupted him.
In the context of the West Bank Continent, the term “believer” refers specifically to those who have faith in gods.
So, does this imply that the Phoenix is a god?
The Sage of the Wind confirmed, “Yes, a believer. The Phoenix of that time was an ancient god. Then, the founding leader ignited the divine fire, held high the God’s Throne and became a True God.”
“But soon, the Twilight of the Gods came. The founding leader fell into a deep sleep very quickly. Many of the treasures of the Phoenix Club were stored in his god kingdom and cannot be retrieved to date. Among them, a few artifacts are of utmost importance to the Phoenix Club.”
“So, my visit this time is to seek your help. Your pet Phoenix can help us open the door to the god kingdom. Once the task is completed, I can give you a drop of Phoenix’s Divine Blood.”
Phoenix’s Divine Blood!
Gu Yang was moved slightly. This should be the essence blood of the Phoenix.
This person is not simple. He can actually guess that he needs this item.
