The Art Gallery is located on the south side of Heroes Square atop Castleton City.

Heroes Square is the highest point in Castleton City. In the center of the square stands a 67-meter-tall statue of Elf Warrior. The Silver Moon Elf holds a longsword aimed at the Naga Sea Clan deep in the Endless Sea, with his legs in a lunge stance, assuming the defensive posture of Sword Dancer.

On the north side of Heroes Square grows a Tree of Life that is about five thousand years old, and the Elven Council of Elders of Castleton City is located on this Tree of Life.

The trial of the Slave Traders from the Golden Tangerine ship will be held tomorrow in the Elder Council's courtroom.

There are four fountains in the four corners of the square. The two fountains next to the Tree of Life are influenced by the Tree of Life, and the water they spout has a faint life force. Moreover, the water is exceptionally sweet. These two fountains have become the water source for the Silver Moon Elf of the Upper District.

Around Heroes Square, the only place that can rival the Silver Moon Elf Statue is the Moon God Temple, which is built right next to the Tree of Life.

The gates of the Moon God Temple face the Tree of Life...

After arriving at Heroes Square in Long Carriage, Roy did not wander around. Instead, he obediently went to the entrance of the Art Gallery Art Gallery waited for Ms. Belinda inside.

Although Master Claire Latin is bedridden, the Castleton Art Gallery has not closed.

Many Silver Moon Elf spend their leisure time in the Art Gallery. There are always some Silver Moon Elf coming and going at the entrance of the Art Gallery. When most Silver Moon Elf look at Roy, they will show a look of disdain.

In the past, Roy would always avoid such unfamiliar and disgusted looks.

He huddled in a corner with his head down, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Now, he sat at the base of an elf statue at the entrance of the Art Gallery, calmly looking at the gazes of the Silver Moon Elf, completely ignoring their disdain.

Ms. Belinda came out of the Art Gallery and walked quickly to Roy's side with an apologetic expression.

"Is everything handed over?" Roy stood up and asked Ms. Belinda with a smile.

Ms. Belinda blinked her slightly sore eyes, took Roy's hand, and said to him, "The Art Gallery itself has been at a standstill, all the work has been put on hold, and there's nothing to hand over."

After saying that, she looked back at the Art Gallery with immense sadness, then took Roy's arm and walked towards the east side of the Art Gallery...

Ms. Belinda wore an elegant little hat and a plain silk dress, which accentuated her extremely alluring figure.

Roy stayed by her side, like a younger brother...

The two walked past the Art Gallery, and behind it was a residential area for the Silver Moon Elf, with many large treehouses standing there.

In addition to some flowers, there are also some green plants of various shapes in the clearing in the woods.

Ms. Belinda led Roy to the door of a treehouse.

From the outside, this treehouse could only be built as a three-story detached house, with only two round windows on the tree trunk...

Roy whispered to Ms. Belinda, "Is this Master Claire Latin's house?"

Ms. Belinda nodded slightly.

Roy whispered again, "This master artist is so unassuming..."

Ms. Belinda glanced at Roy with surprise, not understanding why he said that Master Claire Latin was low-key.

Just as Roy saw the carriage that Priest Theodore often rode in parked in a clearing in the woods not far away, the door of the cabin was pushed open from the inside, and a Silver Moon Elf in a long robe came out. That's the bad thing about elves; you can't tell their age until they've completely aged.

When the Silver Moon Elf saw Ms. Belinda standing at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly. She walked up to her and said, "Belinda, have you come to visit your teacher? He's still the same; he's been unconscious all along."

Belinda smiled faintly, but did not extend her hand. Instead, she said softly, "I came to see you this time to say goodbye. I plan to take my works to Buenos to try my luck."

After a moment of silence, the Silver Moon Elf managed a weak smile, her voice bitter as she said, "Very well, you are indeed very talented. You should try to leave Castleton City. The royal city is your stage. Come with me..."

He then turned his gaze to Roy, who was standing to the side.

Ms. Belinda quickly had Roy grab her arm and said, "This is my son... Roy."

The Silver Moon Elf looked at Roy in surprise before saying, "He's grown so much! I remember the last time I saw him, he was only this tall, hiding behind his skirt, and always liked to hug your legs..."

He gestured with his hand at his waist.

Ms. Belinda simply smiled faintly.

Roy, being quite tactful, bowed to the Silver Moon Elf Silver Moon Elf, Roy nodded in return and then turned to say:

"Come in with me!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the bottom door of the treehouse. Once inside, Roy was even more confused as to why the entire first floor of the treehouse had been hollowed out and a spiral staircase had been built. Apart from the staircase, there was almost nothing else on the first floor of the treehouse.

The three of them went directly to the second floor via the spiral staircase on the first floor of the treehouse. At the end of the staircase was a platform, and opposite the platform was a beautifully Wood Sculpture gate.

The Silver Moon Elf pushed open the heavy double doors, then stood aside to let Ms. Belinda and Roy go inside.

Ms. Belinda was clearly not a first-timer here; she lifted her long dress and stepped inside.

Roy, who was standing next to Ms. Belinda, hesitated for a moment because a huge space that seemed completely out of place with the treehouse appeared before him.

This made Roy feel dizzy, as if he were standing on a cliff, looking down at the endless Rainforest.

Roy followed Ms. Belinda into the treehouse and found himself seemingly inside a castle. Before him was an inner courtyard of several hundred square meters, surrounded by an antique square corridor with four huge archways on each side.

Although he couldn't see inside the archway, Roy only realized that each treehouse had a hidden world inside just by looking at the magnificent wooden walls that were dozens of meters high inside.

From the outside, the treehouse appears to be just a large tree with a diameter of about four meters, but the interior space is surprisingly large.

Roy looked around curiously...

The Silver Moon Elf led Ms. Belinda and Roy into the square corridor, then through the right-hand archway, and continued until they reached the end of the corridor. They then climbed a 'Z'-shaped staircase, ascending five floors before finally reaching the top floor of the treehouse.

Along the way, the elven attendants they encountered all bowed to the Silver Moon Elf who was leading the way...

Roy looked curiously at the furnishings inside the treehouse. It seemed that the huge space was also made of wood, and upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was built by hollowing out the center of a giant tree.

Roy was certain that he couldn't find such a large ancient tree in Castleton City, not even the Tree of Life that had been around for almost five thousand years.

Upon entering the top floor, one is greeted by a living room that is seven or eight hundred square meters in size. In addition to a few exquisite and luxurious pieces of furniture, the living room is filled with all kinds of sculptures, which Roy found to be of quite high quality.

It wasn't until the three of them entered a room opposite the living room that they discovered a small living room inside. Although they didn't see the Holy Water Pool that Bertha had mentioned, Roy did indeed feel a faint holy light in this living room.

The Silver Moon Elf invited Ms. Belinda and Roy to sit in the living room for a while, then went to a doorway, straightened her robes slightly, and went inside.

It's too hot; there's less heat today.
