264 CHAPTER 263

While Elder Vilmon invited Andrew and the others to the elven village, Elder Afilis reported what had happened with the men mobilizing the artifacts of destruction and Andrew's appearance.

Regarding the artifacts the elder informed the village chief who immediately deployed several guards to the places the elder had reported the artifacts were.

He was also preparing to receive Elder Vilmon with his guests. Although the chief of the elven village did not know who Andrew and the others were, the mere fact that they were guests of the two elven guardians was reason enough to receive them with veneration.

It is necessary to know that not even Augustus himself would be received as Andrew and the others would be received. While all the preparations to receive them were being made, Elder Afilis gathered the entire council of elven elders to discuss the matter.
