I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Should I come with you?"

Avalon walked up to Anno and asked.

Anno glanced at Elisana beside him, shook his head, and said, "Judging from their attitude, they definitely aren't trying to get back at me."

Besides, didn't they say that only the Elf Queen and I were allowed to meet that Grand Elder?

Even the Elven race wanted to go, but the Elven Queen didn't agree; there's even less chance for you.

"Take care of yourself!"

Avalon seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Anno, and teased, "Don't let the elves take your body!"

Elisana frowned upon hearing Avalon and Anno's hushed conversation and said, "This guest from the dragon race, please stay here for the time being."

Then, she looked at Anuo with a smile and said softly, "Let's not keep the Grand Elder waiting. Let's go now, and have your subordinates stay here as well!"

"Owner!"

Liz and her two friends immediately surrounded them, looking worried.

To be honest, the three of them were genuinely afraid that the elves might try to force their way into Anno's territory.

Judging from Elisana's attitude, it seems like it's not impossible for them to do such a thing.

On the Tree of Life, Anno could not resist.

Anno and Elisana exchanged a glance, then said to the three of them without turning around, "You wait for me here."

After saying that, he and Elisana followed Aisha out of the main hall and quickly headed towards the Tree of Life.

However, Elissana rode in her own vehicle, while Anno, like Aisha, rode a warhorse led by an elven guard.

"Your Majesty, what do you intend to say before Ashe enters?"

Riding his horse to the window beside the royal carriage, Anno asked Elisana inside.

Elisana was clearly trying to explain just now.

But this was interrupted by Ashe suddenly barging in.

"About a marriage alliance!"

Elisana didn't draw back the curtains, but she kept looking out the window, towards where Anno was.

Her eyes were filled with reminiscence.

"If we were to trace this back to the Second War of the Gods a thousand years ago!"

Anno was taken aback when he heard this.

How can a marriage alliance be linked to a war of gods?

Just as Anno was waiting for Elisana to continue, she unexpectedly said directly, "Since the Grand Elder already knows you've come and wants to see you, he must be planning to give you that item."

You can ask her anything you want to know.

"Do you want to give me something?"

Anno quickly asked, "What is it?"

"Seeing how eager you are, I couldn't resist keeping you in suspense. You'll find out when the time comes!"

Anno: "..."

He felt that Elisana's personality was extremely bad.

Everything she said was designed to pique his interest.

"Could you tell me about this Grand Elder?"

Anno changed the subject and asked, "We're about to meet her, so at least let me know her name."

"I really need to tell you!"

Then, Elisana began to introduce the elder of the Elf Forest to Anno.

The elder's name is Gloria.

It is currently the oldest elf in the elven race, born during the Second War of the Gods.

Although they were royalty, in that era of war, the elves were also among the fighting races. Gloria and the other elves of her time were not raised with care, but went to the battlefield at a very young age to fight against the followers of the enemy gods.

In the 15th year of the Alliance Calendar, Gloria, at only 30 years old, had already become one of the rising stars of the Elven race on the battlefield, reaching a high level of strength and making many contributions on the battlefield.

More than a hundred years after the end of the War of the Gods, Gloria, with her high prestige and strength among the elves, succeeded to the position of queen in the 130th year of the Alliance calendar.

From then on, Gloria led the Elven race.

During this period, they faced an siege from different positions against Angomulos.

It witnessed the rise of the current Demon King.

It experienced the split of the Night Elves, a branch of the Elven race.

In 1209 of the Alliance Calendar, Gloria, who had been the Elf Queen for over a thousand years, passed the throne to Elisana.

Today, in the year 1409 of the Alliance calendar, Elisana has been queen for two hundred years.

"At his peak, the Grand Elder was a ninth-tier powerhouse. However, as he aged, he also grew old."

Although I'm currently level 50, combat is very difficult.

At this point, Elisana's tone became somewhat sorrowful.

"In the 15th year of the Alliance Calendar, he was already 30 years old. So, the Grand Elder's age now is... 1414 years old!"

After calculating the age, Anno gasped in shock.

A normal elf's lifespan is a thousand years, this is already more than halfway over.

They must have taken some kind of life-extending treasure.

Anno recalled what the God Hunter Bray had once said: there are many precious items in the infinite planes, including those that can extend lifespan.

Bray, being human, is now several hundred years old; he's practically an immortal old man.

"Your Majesty, President Anno has arrived!"

Aisha's voice came from ahead, offering a warning.

Anno looked up at the Tree of Life, which he had seen not long ago, and couldn't help but marvel at the relationship between the elves and the Tree of Life.

Building a palace on the body of a deity—the Tree of Life is truly exceptional to its followers.

"Anno, let's go up!"

Elisana, who stepped out of the luxurious carriage, gestured for Anno to enter.

Without hesitation, Anno followed Elissana and stood on a giant leaf.

Whoosh!

The next instant, magical patterns lit up on the leaves, and then lifted Anno up.

As she rose higher and higher above the ground, Anuo momentarily thought she was riding an elevator.

Of course, the leaves underfoot serve the same purpose as an elevator.

As the tree grows taller, more and more thick branches appear on its trunk.

Anno saw that many houses had been built up there.

There were also many well-equipped guards patrolling back and forth on the branches.

The building at the very top is a magnificent aerial palace, though not large in area.

The palace was built on a cluster of intertwined branches, and was covered with a large number of flowering vines.

Colorful flowers and flocks of birds adorn the palace, making it look like a dream.

In front of the palace's main gate was a vast plaza formed by gnarled and twisted branches, where dozens of elven guards stood.

Anno even spotted two eighth-tier oak guardians among them.

The two oak guards were also staring at Anno.

After being brought up, Anno stepped down from the leaf and walked towards the palace with Elisana and Aisha.

The branches beneath my feet were as flat as the ground and extremely spacious.

"Your Majesty, President Anno, the Grand Elder is waiting for you inside the palace."

When they arrived at the palace gate, Ashe stopped and turned to bow to Elisana and Anno.

When Anno saw that Aisha didn't intend to go in, he understood that the conversation would likely consist only of him, Elisana, and the Grand Elder Gloria, whom he hadn't yet met.

Squeak~!

The palace gates opened a crack with a slight creak.

Elisana went in first.

Anno followed closely behind.

Upon entering, Anno discovered that there were nine golden pillars carved with vibrant patterns forming a circle within the palace.

The red wooden floor appears to be a single piece, with no trace of splicing.

Various statues, flags, and decorations made the palace look less empty.

The light source at the top of the palace emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire palace.

After scanning the area, Anno's gaze was immediately drawn to the black and white coffin standing in the center of the palace.

"Why...why is there a black and white coffin here?"
