Today, the interrogation of Rachel and others was supposed to be held, but what was surprising was that before the interrogation started, news suddenly came from the Presbyterian Church that Rachel and others were acquitted. When they heard the news, everyone was stunned and then ecstatic. It wasn't until they walked out of the prison that everyone realized this was not a dream. "Why did the Presbyterian Church suddenly declare us acquitted?" Bilia asked a little puzzled. "Could it be Mr. Ruan Chi who bears all the blame for everyone's crimes?" said Lonya, who used to have a good relationship with Ruan Chi. "Impossible, would that nasty guy be so kind to help us? Maybe he couldn't withstand the torture of the Presbyterian Church, so he told the truth clearly." Elena said with a look of disdain. Gulidia pushed Elena gently, shook her head and said, "Stop talking, since everyone has been acquitted, no matter whether Mr. Ruan Chi helped us in the end, in the end he still shouldered the responsibility for himself Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to return to the Elf Forest.¡± Although Elena disagreed, she was very obedient and didn¡¯t say any more, because everyone noticed that just when everyone was happy about the acquittal, there was someone. At this moment, the individual's face was full of sadness, and his eyes were full of worry. "Sister Rachel, I think Ruan Chi should be fine." Bilia opened her mouth to comfort her, but she found out that her words were so pale and weak. . If Ruan Chi really admits everyone's crimes to the Presbyterian Church, then the next step will be a very serious punishment. "Bilia, Gulidia. I want to see Ruan Chi. You go first." Rachel suddenly said this. Then he left with everyone's shocked eyes. After some inquiring, Rachel learned that Ruan Chi was imprisoned in the Tower of Sinners. Rachel had already heard about this legendary prison when she was in Luminous Village. After knowing where Ruan Chi was being held, Rachel was naturally more worried and kept speeding up her pace towards the Tower of Sinners. But when she went there, Rachel was rejected by the elf guards guarding the Tower of Sinners, and she was not allowed to enter the Tower of Sinners. After repeatedly begging to no avail. Rachel could only look worried, looking in the direction of the Tower of Sinners from a distance, looking at the towering tree tower, she regretted even more when she agreed to let Ruan Chi return to the Forest of Elves. "If I hadn't agreed to let him come back together, things wouldn't have turned out like this. No, I would never have let him face it alone." A trace of determination flashed in Rachel's eyes, and she turned towards the Elf King City. Lear walked in a certain direction. Although the social structure of the elves is far less complex than that of the human race, and it is not divided into many large and small countries, it is. The elves also have their own class divisions. This kind of class division may not be as strict as the human race. However, elves in each class also have different statuses in the elves. Of course, the power pyramid of the elves is generally relatively simple. From top to bottom, they are the Elf Queen, the High Priest, the Council of Elders, the Elf Village, the Elders, and the Village Patrol. ??Among them, military agencies such as Silver Wings are directly managed by the Elf Queen, while the High Priest directly governs the Council of Elders. Next are the Elf villages in each Elf Forest, with one or more elders managing the following patrols. There are no cities in elven society. Except for the royal city of Thril, the rest are all villages, large and small, with populations ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. This is because the population of elves is far less dense than that of humans, and most elves like to be quiet, so most elves will only build villages, not cities. In addition, besides the Presbyterian Council, the elves also have a very special force, which is the "Four Meridians of Shuluo". These four lines are Lanyue, Xingyu, Fengshu, and Bairi. They are four families composed of elves whose surnames begin with these four. Among them, Xingyu is a royal family and the only descendant of elves in charge of the bloodline of the Son of Nature. Like Dinisha and Sifalifu, they are the only heirs of the Star Language royal family. Except for the Xingyu royal family, the other three veins, namely Lan Yue, Feng Shui and Bai Ri, are in charge of the three earth veins of the Tree of Life respectively. These three veins cover the entire Elf Forest, providing a steady stream of water for the fountain of life in each Elf village. Their importance is second only to the Tree of Life rooted in the Elf King City. Rachel¡¯s identity is that of the second daughter of the Lanyue family among the three lineages. It is also worth mentioning that Rachel¡¯s parents are the current heads of the Lanyue lineage. The territory of the Lanyue family is located about 20 kilometers south of the Elf King City Seril.??, deep in a low hilly area, that place is called the Singing Hill. Rachel rented a Pegasus in the Royal City and spent half a day, non-stop, returning to the hometown where she was born. Although there is no huge city in Singing Hill, there are countless towering giant trees growing there. These giant trees have been cast by natural magic by the elf druids. They have independent consciousness and surround the Lanyue family's territory like forest guards. When encountering an invasion by foreign enemies, you can respond to the call of the Elf Druid and become a forest defender to drive away the enemies. I never thought I would come back, but for Ruan Chi, Rachel had to come back today. On the way to the Singing Hill, Rachel saw many familiar things. The lush green plants on both sides of the road made Rachel feel as if she had returned to her childhood and found fragments of past memories. In the past ten years, she has not come back once. Even though she followed Elder Sugli back to the Elf King City last time, Rachel never thought about stepping into the Singing Hill again. That¡¯s because Rachel once made a vow that she would not come back until she had the same strength as her sister Cynthia. But today, for Ruan Chi, Rachel decided to break her vow and step into this homeland again. At the end of the road leading to the Singing Hill, Rachel first saw a cliff. On the cliff, a huge stone was carved into the shape of a harp, so that it would always play beautiful music there. However, as time goes by, the exquisite sculptures of the past have been severely weathered. The huge harp has long been changed beyond recognition. But precisely because of its existence. The Singing Hill is called the Singing Hill. Seeing the crescent-shaped family crest on the harp sculpture from a distance, Rachel felt even more uneasy at the moment, because she didn't know what kind of mood she should use next to meet her parents whom she hadn't seen for a long time. The relationship between parents and children in elf society is rather strange. In elf families, children must have the ability to live outside alone after they reach the age of ten. This aspect is very much in line with the elf¡¯s own style of pursuing outdoor exercise. The training of children since childhood is one of the important reasons why the individual combat effectiveness of elves is much stronger than that of humans. Rachel also left Singing Hill when she was ten years old. She later experienced various places in the Elf Forest for a long time before settling in Luminous Village and getting to know Bilia and the others. Unexpectedly, ten years have passed without realizing it. Now Rachel is already a 21-year-old girl. She even has a bit more of a young woman's temperament after becoming a Ruan Chi woman. Staring at the Lanyue family emblem on the harp, the voices and faces of her parents could not help but come to mind, although the elves were relatively indifferent to family affection. But at this moment, Rachel still felt a trace of sadness in her chest. "Dad. Mom" After gathering herself, Rachel slowly walked towards the entrance of the territory. As one of the four main lines of Shinra, the territory of the Lanyue family is naturally heavily guarded. Before Rachel could see the entrance, a group of Pegasus knights had already landed. "Who is coming?" The knight headed by him is a handsome elf woman, wearing a dark green leather armor, which outlines the unique slender figure of the elf. Her toned thighs are exposed to the air, and she holds the fly under her crotch powerfully. Horse belly. When Rachel saw this elf woman, she was stunned at first, and then said in surprise, "Sister Victoria!" The elf woman was stunned at first, but soon she recognized Rachel, and her cold face suddenly disappeared and was replaced. There was a look of joy on her face, "Second Miss? Are you Miss Rachel?" "Sister Victoria, I haven't seen you for a long time." Rachel was also a little excited, holding the elf woman for a long time before letting her go. "Second Miss, it's great to have you back. The patriarch and the others miss you very much." Victoria held Rachel's shoulders, as if she was worried that she would disappear. She was a few years older than Rachel and served as the Singing Hill Captain of the patrol. Hearing Victoria's words, Rachel couldn't help showing a look of shame. As a child, she was indeed very incompetent. She also knew that the oath she made back then was a bit heavy and even contained an element of anger. Although the life span of elves is generally two to three hundred years, they have not come back for ten years, which is a long time for their parents. "Sister Victoria, are my father and mother in good health?" Rachel asked in a timid voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the clan leaders are all very good.¡± Victoria smiled. Hearing this, Rachel immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't talk so much. You haven't been back for so many years. They miss you very much. You'd better go back and see them quickly.""Yes." Rachel nodded vigorously, climbed back on the Pegasus, and then followed Victoria to fly back towards the Lanyue family's territory. Along the way, Victoria asked Rachel many things, including where she had been over the years, what she had done, and the people she had met. Because she was worried about not knowing how to meet her parents for a while, and because of Ruan Chi¡¯s incident, Rachel answered wordlessly. But what really surprised Rachel was that she discovered that Victoria didn't seem to know that she had become a traitor. ¡°Did the Presbyterian Church cover up that incident? Rachel thought about it, and then she felt that this should be the case. After all, once the disappearance of the former Elf Queen spreads, it will seriously affect the morale of the entire Elf family. The Fourth Throne War is coming, and it is understandable for the Elders to do this. Although the news that she was a traitor had not spread, Rachel still felt guilty for some reason. Rachel was even more nervous when she thought about meeting her parents soon. "By the way, sister Rachel, you came back at the right time this time, because the eldest lady also came back some time ago." At this moment, Victoria's words made Rachel's nerves completely tense. .
