The crisp, melodious call of birds woke Qin Lun from his sleep. The young man opened his eyes, stretched, and got out of bed. The Elf castle, sheltered by the World Tree, was filled with fresh, fragrant air, making him feel refreshed and clear-headed.
Yesterday, entering the Magic Cup Court and having the audience with the Elf King and the talk with Iristin had taken up so much time that it became very late. Qin Lun did not go out to gather more news, choosing to rest the night in a guest room of the castle.
This room was simply decorated. The walls were adorned with Elf crafts and carved stone reliefs. At the center of the room was a large bed covered with silk bedding. The outer chamber held a few finely made rattan chairs for guests. Under the window facing the World Tree sat an ancient and elegant desk, upon which rested a quill pen stand and sheets of pure white silk paper.
In truth, by Elf standards, this was considered quite splendid interior decoration. This race revered nature; typically, a simple Elf treehouse had only one rattan hammock and a few tree stumps serving as tables and chairs. Pots of flowers and plants scattered indoors were the most common sights in an Elf dwelling.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Qin Lun had just finished washing when the sound of knocking reached his ears.
