Qin Lun looked up, surveying the ancient hall he was in. Eighteen vine-columns, each so thick it would take three adult Elves to encircle them, stood arrayed around the perimeter of the chamber, converging high above into the vaulted ceiling.
The gaps between the vine pillars were filled with broad leaves from the World Tree. These leaves were a vibrant green and semi-transparent. Under the sunlight shining through, the dark green veins within were clearly visible, like gigantic microscopic slides showing plant cells. They pulsed with life, yet also carried marks of long ages worn.
Compared to the haughty command room atop the Magic Cup Castle, this magnificent natural hall lacked that supreme arrogance, but it held a richer, more natural and ancient aura of life.
This was the royal court of Cloudtop City. Within this enormous hall, besides Qin Lun, stood another silver-haired Elf, positioned sideways to him. His shoulder-length silver hair was tied into braids with simple silver bands, falling loosely behind him.
He stood by the hall’s window, staring absently at the drifting clouds beyond heaven, seemingly unaware of Qin Lun’s arrival. His shoulders were broader than those of most Moon Elves, his figure tall and slender. He wore a long robe trimmed with gold, a silver crescent moon embroidered on the back. Seen in profile, his face resembled a perfect sculpture, chiseled by a master, yet with the faintest lines etched between the eyes, revealing he was not as young as his appearance suggested.
