226 Chapter 226 - Home

After Tylene helped Joshua find Hachi, she got on a carriage and returned to the Hearthstone Tavern since Joshua needed to make arrangements for filming ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale.’ Tylene didn’t forget about her job at the Voice of Norland or her duty to provide nourishment for the World Tree’s growth.

But, upon returning to the Hearthstone Tavern and opening the Mage Forum, Tylene was greeted with bad news.

‘Inquisitors from the Heresy Tribunal burned down the Blackwood Forest and massacred the innocent Blackwood Elves. The crimes of a bunch of cruel, merciless and indiscriminate murderers.’

When Tylene saw this post while signing into the Voice of Norland, extreme unease filled her heart.

With grief and fear still in her mind, she tapped open the post.

Even though Joshua put up a warning disclaimer that the contents were violent and gory, Tylene summoned up her courage and tapped into the post.

Sure enough, upon seeing the contents, Tylene received an enormous shock to her heart.

‘The Flower of Farucci Gallolei is with those elves that just lost their home. Her magic network is able to hear your singing.’

After hearing that message from Joshua, Tylene knew what she needed to do. Even though she would not be able to provide material aid to her fellow elves, she would at least be able to offer prayers to them.

Tylene picked up her harp, opened the Voice of Norland and began to sing and play an elven epic. It was a song called ‘Song of Home.’

………

The power of his elvenkins… were weakening.

Elder Safran stood atop an enormous boulder as he examined the surroundings vigilantly. At the same time, he looked down to his clansmen that were setting up camps on the meadow below.

The Blackwood Forest has been burned down by the flames. It was not only their country that was destroyed, even the World Tree that they’ve relied on for survival was destroyed.

It was true that Elder Safran’s heart was filled with hatred and fury toward the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal. But, compared to his anger, Elder Safran was more worried about his people.

A total of thirty-three Blackwood Elves followed him and escaped from the Blackwood Forest. Among them, twelve were kids and three of those kids were newborn on top of that.

“If those intruders were to find out the existence of the Daughter of the Forest, we will end up paying too enormous of a price. Thus, before converging with our surviving people, I must find a safe shelter for the Daughter of the Forest.”

Elder Safran knew that the moment the World Tree dies would be the moment their Blackwood Elves would go extinct.

But, at a time when even the Protector of the World Tree’s whereabouts was unknown, Elder Safran was truly unable to think of what sort of place could possibly shelter the Blackwood Elves.

“Norland!”

Suddenly, at this very moment, Gallolei interrupted into the conversation of the two elves.

“Elder Safran, I hope that you can bring me to Norland!”

Gallolei stood up and walked over to them. There was a white pigeon in her hand. The pigeon carried an anonymous letter. From the handwriting of the letter, Gallolei recognized that it was written to her by her mother.

Madam Schroder mentioned in the letter that her father’s territory was no longer safe. It also listed multiple locations that could provide shelter to Gallolei. Apart from the locations where Gallolei’s relatives were, Norland was also listed among the places for shelter.
