Chapter 169: Capital of Dream, Arseidia
◆Black Haired Sage; Chiyuki
The capital of Arseidia was a dream city—an elven kingdom nestled deep within the Sea Forest at the base of Elios Mountain.
Few fortresses surrounded Arseidia, protected by powerful barrier magic.
We departed from one of those fortresses, Cartahaugh, under the guidance of Fairy Knight Tamriel. Our carriage, drawn by Cryneia, rolled along the white stone road that meandered through the forest.
While the trees were dense as we made our way to Cartahaugh, the path toward Arseidia had a different feel. The trees were just as numerous, but they had been carefully pruned, allowing us to catch glimpses of the sky.
「OVER THERE CHIYUKI-SAN, IT LOOKS AMAZING! THE TREES ARE GLOWING IN A GOLDEN COLOR! AND THEY’RE HUGE!!」
Rino's excited voice cut through the quiet as she pointed out the window.
I turned my gaze to follow her finger, spotting a massive golden tree on the horizon. It looked almost like a mountain, its golden leaves shimmering in the light.
This was the first time I’d ever seen a tree of such size and grandeur.
