"Drew, is it really okay if you don't attend the festival? This is the first time your Steel Leaf Tribe worships your god after so many years. The biggest sacrifice was the one you caught. Wouldn't you feel sorry if you don't go?" Abel leaned on his spear and walked forward along the valley, while panting to Drew who was accompanying him. Behind Drew, the matriarch Xiriya also followed them, but the expression on her face was always full of coldness.

Although Abel's body has recovered and he can walk by himself, the erosion of magic still hurts his health and puts a great burden on him. Even if he sits still, his limbs will have a slight pain, let alone walking like this now. But Abel still endured the pain and came in person, because today he wants to unfold his floating city core and build his own magic workshop. This kind of thing is obviously impossible to deal with others.

"There will be a festival in the future, and you can also catch the sacrifices in the future. It doesn't matter much." Although Drew had regrets on his face, he still shook his head firmly: "Abel, you helped our Steel Leaf Tribe so much, and your body has not recovered yet. Although I don't know what happened to make your health even worse, I have to run out before you recover, but Captain Geralt asked me to protect you and take responsibility for your safety. Then I must follow you and protect your safety. You can participate in the festival in the future, but if there is something wrong with Abel, I will not be able to make up for it in the future."

"It's not as serious as you said." Abel shook his head, patted the spear in his hand, indicating that he was not without self-protection: "Although his health is not good, I am not that easy to deal with. I still have the ability to protect myself, but thank you for your help."

After smiling weakly at Drew, Abel still felt a little tired, so he told Drew that he needed a rest, so he walked towards a stone beside him, and then sat down slowly, breathing a little rapid.

Seeing Abel gasping and enduring a pain expression on his face, Chiriya, who was walking behind Drew, couldn't help but speak, "Since I can't bear it, why don't you wait until your body recovers? Is there anything I need to hold on so hard? I used the last holy stone to save you. Please cherish your own body a little."

Looking at Chilia's face with a cold face. Although her tone was bad, she was at least concerned about her words. Abel forced her to pull the corner of her mouth and showed a weak smile before asking her: "Miss Chilia, I can see that you don't hate me, why do you always show your appearance against me everywhere?"

"I really don't hate you, but I hate elves. Don't call me Miss, 'please' call me the leader." Xilia looked at Abel, and hatred appeared in her eyes. After gritting her teeth, she turned her head and spat, and the expression on her face was still angry.

Looking at Chiriya who turned his head away, Abel suddenly became interested and asked her: "If you don't mind, can the Clan of Chiriya tell me? You can see that you have a deep hatred for the elves. And after hearing what you and the Clan of Geralt before, the elves should have a grudge against the Clan of Geralt, right?"

Drew, who was standing aside, looked at the hatred in Chiriya's eyes and moved to Abel unconsciously, worried that the female matriarch would not be able to help it, so he attacked Abel.

But Drew's worries did not become a reality. Although Chilia showed deep hatred in her eyes, she finally resisted the desire to do it herself. After looking at Eber, she sat down on the stone beside her and said in a sad tone as if she was talking to herself: "Twenty-one years ago, the patriarch of the previous generation of Steel Leaf Tribe brought Geralt to the Benliu Tribe. Geralt, who was only a teenager at the time, and I left the tribe's territory because of curiosity, and wanted to see what the elves in the old people's stories looked like."

Looking at Chilia's sadness with hatred, Abel had roughly guessed how the story would develop. The children who ran away from home, worried parents, and dangerous enemies were almost self-evident.

"But when Brother Geralt and I really saw the elves, they attacked us directly. If Brother Geralt had not tried to protect me at that time, I might have been dead at that time. The scars on Brother Geralt's face were also left at that time." Tears flowed out of Cialia's eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Abel could see that even though more than twenty years had passed, she was still full of self-blame.

"What later? Even the patriarch Geralt would probably be unable to resist the attacks of the elves when he was a teenager, right? What's more, he would protect you." Eber listened to Chilia's telling and guessed the ending of the story: "It was the patriarch of the previous generation of Steel Leaf Tribe. The father of the patriarch Geralt took people to save you, but he died himself, right?"

"The previous generation of patriarchs died of illness." Drew suddenly whispered from the side, as if he was correcting Eber's mistake.

"That was just to hide the truth of the matter and avoid the full war between the Steel Leaf Tribe and the Binliu Tribe and the Elf Tribe, because that was to die!" Cialia interrupted Drew and told the cruel truth that had been covered up: "At that time, Brother Geralt's father and my father came to save us with more than a dozen of the most elite soldiers of Binliu and Steel Leaf, but they were not the opponents of the only five elves. The soldiers were massacred. Even my father and Brother Geralt's father were seriously injured and injured one of them. If it weren't for the elves' concern that the wounded did not want to pursue, we would not survive alone. Shortly after we came back, my father and Brother Geralt's father were seriously injured."

"That shouldn't be an ordinary elves? Five people can massacre the Steel Leaf and the dozen of the most elite warriors of Benliu, and seriously injure the two patriarchs. I guess they are also elites of the elves." Abel looked at Chiria crying, wondering if he should comfort her, but in the end he shook his head slightly and asked her questions about the elves.

"I don't know, the Benliu Tribe investigated this incident later, but the five elves never appeared again. Their armor and weapons were indeed better than other elves that could be seen near the Benliu Tribe." Xilia stood up, wiped her tears, and looked at Eber: "Don't you have something important? Keep going after you have enough rest!"

Looking at Chilia's appearance, Eber smiled indifferently and stood up again with a spear.

————————————————————

After Eber, Drew and Chilia walked deep into the valley where the Steel Leaf Tribe was located, and almost impossible to see it, Eber stopped in front of an open space about the size of a football field.

"Okay, let's get here, it's OK." Looking at the relatively flat open space in front of me, Eber's face could not hide his fatigue, but he nodded with satisfaction and said to Drew beside him.

Seeing Eber finally stopped, Chilia asked him in confusion: "What do you want to do? You haven't gotten better yet, just to come to such a place?" As she asked Eber, Chilia also looked around. This was a depression between a mountain wall. Although it was quite flat and wide, it was sunken in the mountain wall and there was nothing special.

"You will know in a while, Cialis Chief." As he said that, Abel walked towards the center of the open space and took out a metal ball made of silver metal from the dimensional bag. The entire metal ball was about the size of a football ball, surrounded by four blade-like structures. If you look closely, you will find that the metal ball is not integrated, but consists of many parts and gears. The extremely exquisite structure even makes people look a little dazzled. Light blue light emits from the core of the metal ball, reflecting the metal ball in a particularly mysterious way. This is the core of Abel's floating city.

After carefully putting the core of the floating city on the ground, Abel returned to Drew and Cialia, stood in front of the metal ball in confusion, and then said, "You guys retreat a little."

After Drew and Cialia took a few steps back as they were spoken, Abel then slapped heavily in his hand and activated the core of the Floating City.

With Abel's activation, the entire metal ball floated into the air in an instant, and the four metal blade-like structures quickly separated from the sphere and floated around the spherical core. If you look closely, you can find that all the structures and gears on the core are running rapidly and constantly unfolding. The originally layered parts are re-displayed, and the volume of the sphere is also increasing, and the light it emits becomes stronger and stronger.

The four metal blades also rotate around the core sphere. During the rotation, the four blades are also deforming rapidly, eventually turning into four metal rings, constantly surrounding the core sphere with their respective trajectories, and getting faster and faster.

With the activation of the core of the floating city, the gravel and soil on the surrounding ground were rolled up and continued to gather towards the rotating core of the floating city. However, the soil and gravel were completely decomposed and then reorganized. Then, under the transformation of magic, it became the material for building the magic workshop, from soil to metal.
