Chapter 53 A New City

The sun was at its zenith, and Wu Ge walked slowly with a smile, appearing elegant and pure. The Ring of Air, Vilya, shone brightly on her slender, white finger. Her steps seemed to carry a mysterious rhythm, echoing the wind blowing through the mountains and the surging sound of the trees in the forest.

As a Sun Chaser, Wu Ge was undoubtedly absorbing the sun's light and power at all times, but the Ring of Air, Vilya, was clearly not yet accustomed to such an ability, causing it to reflect light in all directions like a mirror.

This situation was clearly having a negative effect, but for Wu Ge, who wanted to make a high-profile appearance, it inadvertently created the illusion that the Ring of Air, Vilya, on her hand was radiating a dazzling light!

The ancient oak tree, which had experienced countless years of cold and hardship, was stunned. Its leaves rustled like they were being buffeted by a strong wind, and it said in disbelief:

"This...this is impossible! Even if King Elrond has fallen, the Ring of Air, Vilya, should never have signed a soul contract with you!"

Indeed, neither Fang Senyan nor Wu Ge could have imagined that she would acquire the Ring of Air, Vilya, by chance! But the greatness, mystery, and awe-inspiring nature of fate lies in the fact that no one can predict its course! There is no way to anticipate who will be favored by it!

Faced with the ancient oak tree Cindaro's distraught question, Wu Ge suddenly closed her eyes and raised her finger high. Immediately, invisible ripples that were difficult to describe emanated from the surface of the Ring of Air, Vilya. The ripples swept through the air, forming wind; the ripples crossed the water's surface, forming waves; the ripples brushed over the earth, forming thunder!

This time, the ancient oak tree Cindaro finally began to sigh deeply, unsure whether he was sighing at his previous gaffe or at the ruthlessness of fate. After a long time, he slowly said:

"Alright, great Dawn Elf, what can I do for you?"

Wu Ge breathed a sigh of relief that no one could see. That performance had been her absolute limit!

The previous two owners of the Ring of Air were both followers of the moon goddess Luna, and they used the moon goddess's divine power to activate the ring's abilities. Therefore, for Wu Ge, using the divine power of the sun god Sindorei to make this divine ring work was a completely new challenge for her and even for the entire elf race.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the small number of followers, the sun god seemed to show more favor to Wu Ge. This was understandable. It was like being in school, where one class had 100 students and another had only ten. Undoubtedly, the students in the class of ten would receive more attention from the teacher.

Taking the display of power just now as an example, this was the only use of the Ring of Air, Vilya, that Wu Ge currently possessed, called Natural Resonance, which was similar to a starting stance in martial arts and could only be displayed in sunlight.

But what did it matter? Because the most important thing was that others only saw Wu Ge wearing Vilya, the chief of the Three Rings, on her finger, and that she could trigger Natural Resonance, but they didn't know that she only knew this one trick!

Facing the noble old oak tree's inquiry, Wu Ge smiled:

"I cannot enter Rivendell so rashly. I hope to have corresponding glory to accompany me."

Cindaro said in a muffled voice:

"Isn't possessing Vilya enough glory?"

Fang Senyan suddenly smiled and said:

"It is indeed very glorious, but such glory is too thin. The world often values other aspects more. Vanity is a cardinal sin, but in many cases, it is indispensable."

Cindaro said thoughtfully:

"I understand. Then my nephew Faleel has recovered most of his strength. Although he cannot fight, it should be no problem for this little girl Wu Ge to ride on him."

Fang Senyan suddenly asked a sharp question:

"Respected Lord Cindaro, why do you stay on this cliff overlooking Rivendell instead of enjoying the abundant spiritual energy in this beautiful elven city and receiving the elves' love and meticulous care?"

The old oak tree was expressionless. It was clear that Fang Senyan had hit a sore spot, because there was already a sacred tree called Noriel in Rivendell. There could only be one mother tree in a city, which was a universal truth. When the sacred oak tree Cindaro moved here, it was because Noriel was almost withering, and he thought his chance had come.

Unfortunately, Elrond invited his father to save Noriel, so the sacred oak tree Cindaro could only continue to wait silently in disappointment, and he had been waiting for four hundred years!

Even for a sacred oak tree, four hundred years was a long enough time. If it wanted to continue to grow vigorously, continue to become taller and wider, and to break through the shackles of trees in its life, then it had to become the mother tree to have a chance.

Teldrassil was called the foundation of the world and the elder of the heavens because it was the mother tree of the Undying Lands! Every day it received the offerings of many great elves!

Fang Senyan then said very frankly:

"We need the Dawn Elf to have a perfect, shocking entry. Therefore, respected Lord Cindaro, if we needed Faleel, why would we go to so much trouble?"

Looking at the silent sacred oak tree, old Cindaro, Fang Senyan directly took out something that could move him:

"Yes, Rivendell can no longer accommodate Wu Ge, the Sun Chaser, at least not after she has obtained the recognition of the great Vilya! But what does it matter? Rivendell has existed in the Misty Mountains for too long. A brand new city belonging to Wu Ge, the Sun Chaser, will soon be established!"

"And you, the great sacred oak tree Cindaro, will be rooted in the center of that city, guarding its land. And how many elves in Rivendell will Wu Ge, the Sun Chaser, allow to bask in the glory of Sindorei today depends on your decision right now! You must know that the number of city residents also means the richness of the offerings to the mother tree."

Having said all of this, the sacred oak tree, old Cindaro, sighed for a long time, and then the ground began to tremble violently! He pulled his long roots out of the soil, and his branches and leaves began to fold and twist. Every leaf showed a sacred light, and then pure white fragrant flowers began to bloom, with white and red stamens emitting a refreshing fragrance.

When the sacred oak tree, old Cindaro, completely transformed into a huge treant, a flower palanquin that looked very exquisite and majestic appeared on his shoulders. Then, he stretched out his long branch arms and carefully sent Wu Ge onto the flower palanquin on his shoulders.

Wu Ge insisted that Fang Senyan sit up with her, but Fang Senyan refused with a smile. He followed the steps of the sacred oak tree Cindaro, looking at Wu Ge's back, which even revealed a bit of sacred meaning, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although there were huge changes and twists and turns along the way, and the variables were even beyond Fang Senyan's imagination, the final outcome was still within Fang Senyan's controllable range and even better than he expected!

When the huge sacred war treant carried Wu Ge into Rivendell, it undoubtedly gave everyone a huge shock.

When the elves who had doubts in their hearts were about to step forward, they were shocked by the Ring of Air, Vilya, on Wu Ge's finger. The dazzling light it reflected almost burned their eyes!

Next, Wu Ge held a grand gathering in the square, where she told everyone in detail about the injustice and grievances she had suffered!

When the agreement was reached that day, as the weak party who had been betrayed, Wu Ge had already won the sympathy of those neutral elves. Now that she told her story, and Franklin could simulate a perfect illusion to deduce the situation at that time, it won a large number of sympathy votes for Wu Ge!

At the end of the gathering, under the dazzling sunlight, Wu Ge shouted slogans for the glory of Sindorei. At first, only a few people responded, but later, the shouts resounded through the sky. This was partly because the elves were very infectious creatures and could easily get excited.

More importantly, for most of the elves in Rivendell, the Ring of Air, Vilya, was completely like a symbol of rule. Having this thing was equivalent to being "orthodox" and was morally worthy of being followed!

The final effect was unbelievably good. At least half of the elves in Rivendell were willing to believe in the sun god!! Under Wu Ge's leadership, they rushed into the residences of Elrond and Glorfindel and looted Rivendell's wealth accumulated over thousands of years—Fang Senyan's explanation was that it originally belonged to us!

Then these elves packed their bags and, with bewilderment and longing for the unknown, followed Wu Ge, who was riding the huge sacred war treant.

The direction they were heading was exactly the direction of the orc capital abandoned by Saruman the White before!
