When the bells of the Goddess Temple rang, all the elves in the side hall stopped talking.
At that moment, two female elves wearing temple ceremonial robes entered through the side hall's main door.
"Everyone, please follow me!" one of the female elves said with a bow.
The elves present automatically lined up according to their status. Under the arrangements of Empress Louisa and the Great Druids, Abel stood at the very front.
When he entered the temple's main hall, Abel saw more than a dozen temple elves standing beneath the altar. A band stood to one side of the hall, with an elf playing an organ. The organ stretched from the wall beside the hall all the way to the ceiling, accompanied by instruments such as harps and small drums.
The organ's music was melodious and pierced straight into the soul, giving everyone who heard it a sense of holiness.
Of course, this sense of holiness did not come from nowhere. At least Abel sensed traces of divine power within it. The subtle influence permeating every corner of the temple made everyone who entered constantly feel the greatness of the gods.
Abel and the elves stood on either side of the main hall, leaving an aisle about five meters wide between them. Just as he thought there were only this many elves, many more entered through the main hall's doors.
These elves clearly held lower status than those in the side hall, which was why they entered the temple only now.
Before long, several hundred elves were standing inside the temple. Nearly all the elite of the Elf race could be said to have gathered there.
Among them, Abel saw the three Potion Masters from the Alchemist Guild, several extremely famous senior alchemists, and important members of various families.
