Elf Garden

Strolling through the garden, they could see not only streams, magic plants, and hills, but even a small town. The town's houses included cave dwellings like kiln-holes, wooden houses on the ground, and wooden houses built among several giant arbor trees. The style of these buildings was rich with the charm of elven architecture.

"Elf Garden?" In the largest wooden house in the town, Landen saw a model of the entire garden, and also learned its name. "Which elf had this kind of ability?"

"Some elves must have lived here once, but it was abandoned later." Wendy and the others searched every room and found that, unlike the other areas of the Royal Palace, there was not the slightest trace of life left here. All the buildings were nothing more than wooden sculptures.

At last, in this largest room, Landen found a nameplate. It explained the garden's origins. Halcala, the wife of the second monarch after the Gallop restoration, the builder of Night-Kirin City, and the Elf Princess of the Oak Clan, had personally designed and built this garden to house the Royal Family's elven descendants and close attendants.

According to the nameplate, after Halcala left Night-Kirin City around the year 300 of the Divine Emperor, the entire Elf Garden ceased to be an elven station and became a purely royal garden. Every flower and blade of grass here was under the protection of the queen of Night-Kirin City, the Gallop Royal Family, and the elven clans.

"What a pity. Why did that princess leave? I think the elves should have liked the environment here very much." Gleia spread her magic wings and circled several times in the air. Her mother was a high-ranking member of the elven race, so she had a natural closeness to forests brimming with magic.
