Chapter 2005
"Yes! This is Fupolis City in the Hong Clan League! The tree is the Fupolis Tree. Our Three-winged Clan and the Three-tailed Clan live on the Fupolis Tree!"
When Livaun returned home, she was also very excited.
"The Three-winged Clan?"
"The Three-tailed Clan?"
Henry could not help but think of the flag of the Hong Clan.
The flag had a giant bird with three wings and three tails.
"The most distinguished families in the Hong Clan are the Three-winged Clan and the Three-tailed Clan. The Three-winged Clan has been holding the post of An people in the Hong Clan League for generations, while the Three-tailed Clan has always held the post of the chief internal official in the Hong Clan League!"
Livaun introduced them to Henry and his son, and they arrived at the gate of the city.
"General Livaun!" "General Livaun is back!" The guards on the city gates all cheered. They placed their hands on their chests to pay their respects to Livaun.
The civilians knelt down on the ground, with their hands on their chests, and bowed their heads in a very respectful way.
Livaun waved to everyone and rode the horse into Fupolis City.
There were many houses in the city, lining up on both sides of the main street in the middle.
Among these houses, there were stone houses and wooden houses, as well as thatched cottages and cottages made of fur and feathers.
It seemed that there were nobles and rich people as well as civilians in Fupolis City.
In front of many houses were all kinds of workshops.
There were blacksmiths, carpenters, restaurants, sewing shops... Many people were busy in these workshops, and it was very lively.
There were also many horse carriages with huge wheels on the street.
These carriages were very tall, but horses were no different from the horses in the outside world.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
They seemed to be only for carriages because everyone was riding a single-horned, tiger-clawed
horse.
Of course, the people riding the horses were all women nobles without exception. There was no male slave riding horses.
When everyone saw the multi-coloured feather decoration on Livaun's body, they quickly retreated to the side and made way for her.
Livaun rode the horse arrived directly under the Fupolis Tree.
A wooden plank road circled around the huge trunk of the Fupolis Tree, and then divided into many forks to the houses that led to the Fupolis Tree, like a maze.
At the entrance of the plank road, there were several guards wearing colourful feathers on their heads.
"Find a stretcher and carry him to the temple!"
Livaun dismounted from her horse and ordered the guards.
"Yes, Great General!"
Those guards quickly found a stretcher to carry Henry up along the plank road.
Livaun followed behind her with the Divine Baby.
After climbing for a while, they finally reached the middle of the tree. Henry found that there was a huge wooden sink that led the water from the waterfall on the mountainside to the houses scattered over the tree, and finally poured into a pool behind the tree.
People on the tree actually drank natural and pure water.
Looking from the top of the tree, the water of the huge waterfall in the west poured into the pool behind the Fupolis Tree, forming a river that flowed out of the waterway under the wall to the east of Fupolis City.
After walking for a while, when they almost reached the top of the Fupolis Tree, they came to a wooden platform.
Behind the platform was a huge tree hole.
The entrance of the cave was decorated with a lot of colourful gems and feathers. There was a group of women wearing colourful feathered hats guarding at the door.
"Are the lords inside?"
Livaun asked.
"General, Lord Hassie and Lord Iraida are discussing a matter in the temple!"
Said the guard at the door.
"All right."
Livaun walked into the tree hole with Henry and baby.
On both sides of the tree hole were engraved relief murals, which seemed to capture the generals of the Hong Clan League leading the battle between the Hong Clan and the Brute Clan.
Henry found that a female general
was portrayed on a relatively new mural. A beam of light radiated from the flashlight in her left hand to shoot into the enemy's eyes, and a long sword in her right hand to stab into the enemy's heart.
This female general should be Livaun's mother.
While Henry was puzzled, he had passed through the aisle of the tree hole and came to a huge cut hole in the tree.
This should be the middle of the tree's trunk.
On the wall of the hole in front of him, there was a statue of a deity with a pair of wings.
There was a vague resemblance between the eyes and brows of the statues to Sylvia! Below the statue, there was a blanket made of feathers.
An elderly woman sat in the middle, holding a sceptre in her hand.
On top of the scepter, there was a cluster of beautiful peacock tail feathers.
Below, there were two rows of women, old and young.
"Greetings!"
Livaun knelt on one knee, put her hand on her chest, and gave a salute to the elderly woman. Needless to say, this elderly woman was the highest-ranking leader of the Hong Clan, Ursins.
Henry and baby had to kneel down with one knee and put their hands on their chests to salute.
"You're back. Sit down!"
Ursins waved her hand.
Livaun, together with Henry and baby, sat on the cushion at the end of the left side.
"Livaun, what are you doing?"
"How can you bring the dirty and ugly man into the temple?"
Sitting at the end of the right side, a young woman looked at Henry and the Divine Baby with disdain.
"That's right. Don't you know that in our Hong Clan's temple, men are not allowed to enter since ancient times?"
Another young woman shouted indignantly, "Don't think that just because you've become a general, you can go against the rules of the temple and do whatever you want!"
"Kioni, Erwina, of course, I know the rules of the temple. I definitely have my reasons for bringing them here. There's no need for you to blame me!" Livaun stared coldly at the two women in front of her and did not show any sign of weakness.
"Then tell us your reason. We will listen. Why did you bring a man here to desecrate the statue of our saint in the temple?"
The middle-aged woman sitting in the first position on the left had a gloomy face.
"Lord Hassie, well have to start with this trip to look for the Divine Tool..." Livaun said to the middle-aged woman called Hassie.
This woman was sitting on the first seat on the left. Clearly, she had quite a high position in the Hong Clan.
"Have you found the Divine Tool?"
Hassie lazily interrupted Livaun's words.
"No, we were ambushed by the Brute Clan, and all of us were wiped out!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked! Ursins, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, looked at Livaun. "What... what's going on?"
"In the past, when the sky hole
reappeared, we always led tens of thousands of troops to fight against
the Brute Clan. However, our weapons and fighting capacity are not as good as that of the Brute Clan. Each time, we would suffer heavy casualties and we wouldn't be able to seize many Divine Tools!" Livaun sighed, "That's why I've come up with a plan this time. I intended to bring a thousand elite warriors to sneak into the buffer zone. I wanted to find the Divine Tool that has fallen from the sky hole before it arrived. Then, we would retreat quickly!"
