Game of the World Tree

Old John told his story.

It was a story of how a happy family was torn apart within a year, and he also fell from a farmer who was still able to provide food and clothing to a desolate freeman who was constantly struggling on the edge of survival.

After listening to his remarks, the spirits of the elves also became heavy, and their faces were filled with emotion.

Along the way, they have seen all kinds of beautiful scenery and all kinds of customs, but at the same time, they have also seen the miserable life of civilians in the human kingdom.

Old John is just the epitome of thousands of refugees, who have suffered similar to him, or even worse than him, and there are many, many more.

The darkness of the human world in "Elf Kingdom" is far more cruel than players imagined. Even though it has been seen a lot in the former Maple Leaf Collar, compared to the vast empire territory, the Maple Leaf Collar can be considered rich.

On the other hand, the life of the aristocrats is like a paradise, full of intoxication, luxury and corruption.

This makes players have to sigh that such a country can still be maintained, and it can only be said that the existence of extraordinary power makes all unreasonable things reasonable.

But at the same time, along the way, a doubt gradually grows in the player's heart.

"The lives of human civilians are so difficult that the Eternal Church doesn't care at all?"

After listening to Old John's remarks, Demacia asked suspiciously.

He was really puzzled.

As an excellent MLM (crossed out) missionary leader under the Goddess, he thinks that he still has some experience in this regard. It stands to reason that the more the war-torn era, the better the opportunity to preach the faith.

When a person is most in danger, giving charcoal in the snow, even if it is just a drop of water, will also exchange for the infinite gratitude of the other party.

This is the perfect time for the church to expand its members.

Not to mention anything else, even if the Eternal Church sets up a porridge shed in the city, I am afraid that it will gain a group of devout believers among the refugees.

And what they see now is that most churches don't care what happens in the territory.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not really disregard. Along the way, Demacia has seen many priests helping the poor.

It's just that, as a missionary leader, in Demacia's view, they can do better, but they obviously don't have the strength to do it.

"Do it? If only they did. The priests and gentlemen now only see nobles."

Old John shook his head.

Demacia's frown deepened.

This is not normal, not what a normal church should be.

Even the priest has fallen, and he is in tune with the nobles, indulging in a life of intoxication, and the gods don't care?

Anyway, should the punishment be lowered or something?

After all, believers are the source of the true God's power!

Players and priests will also be punished by the game system and the goddess for doing things. "Elf Kingdom" pursues authenticity so much that it won't make low-level mistakes in such a place, right?

"However, the churches of the god of trade, the god of art, and the goddess of love and festivals are said to be much better. They often help the poor, but unfortunately, Luc City does not have their churches."

Old John said again.

The god of trade, the god of art, and the goddess of love and festivals are all slave gods of the Eternal Lord, with their own churches.

The sphere of influence of their church is intertwined with the Eternal Church, both independent and subordinate to the Eternal Church.

However, not all places have their churches, but only some large cities, and the east and south of the empire will have more.

It is worth mentioning that in the southern kingdom of Ayres, these large and small churches require more from the gods, and the Eternal Church's control and influence over the kingdom is not as good as that of the Holy Mania Empire.

After listening to Old John's remarks, Demacia became more and more confused about the practices of the Eternal Church, and finally couldn't help but complain on the team's chat channel.

Seeing his complaints, Ji Ji, who was beside him, glanced at him and replied:

"Dema, do you know how many believers the Eternal Lord has?"

"How much? Didn't you say several hundred million?"

Demacia typing.

"more than."

Ji Ji made a shaking face.

"I once did a short-term mission with the eldest sister in the Fengyue Free Leader. When I just liberated the place and started to preach, I felt the degeneration of the Eternal Church at that time, and I specifically asked the eldest sister to ask this question, Do you know how the eldest sister responded?"

"How did you answer?"

"The faith of the Eternal Lord has already spread throughout the entire Seggs universe. There are no less than 500 main material planes that belong to him, or even more. Among them, there are many large planes that are comparable to the size of the Seggs world, and this Not counting the other half-planes that are suitable for believers to live... Think about it, how many believers are there in all the planes combined?"

"What the hell?! This is too exaggerated? What kind of monster is the goddess facing? Didn't the Eternal Lord in the game background only rise for a thousand years?"

"Dema, have you underestimated the ability of human beings to reproduce? Not to mention that in an extraordinary world, no matter how hard the bottom is, the overall resources are abundant, and the overall population growth rate is much more exaggerated than that of Blue Star. "

"Hi... So, it's not that the true God allowed the church to degenerate, but that the gods don't care at all?"

"Of course, think about it, ruling so many planes and having so many believers, what's the difference between a little more and a little less?"

The two players communicated with each other in the chat channel, and Demacia's expression changed several times.

As the number one MLM (crossed out again) missionary leader under the Goddess, he has never paid attention to the Eternal Church that pulls his hips, but now he suddenly realizes that he is facing such a huge behemoth...

"By the way, the eldest sister has another sentence."

Jiji typed again.

"what?"

Demacia was curious.

"The ruler of the era, after all, is the ruler of the era. Even if he pulls his hips again, he is also the ruler of the era."

"Good guy, eldest sister can even say 'pull the crotch'."

"Thranduil has also learned to flirt with girls..."

The players chatted one after another, and after talking about their own affairs, Old John also introduced the nearby situation to everyone.

Although the players have already inquired about it, they still listened carefully. After all, different people bring more or less different news.

Of course, overall it's still pretty much the same.

The place where the players are now is a small town of 50,000 people, um... At least in human society, a city with this number of people is barely considered a small town. In the underground world, it is enough to be called a metropolis.

This small city, called Luc City, is located in the northern border of the empire and belongs to the Rosen family, one of the seven great candidates.

The Rosen family is the main branch of the Wells family to which Sophia belongs, the unfortunate aristocratic family whose army was completely wiped out by the Titan Evil God. In a sense, it can be regarded as an old friend of the players.

Further north, it is Fort Collin, the military center of the Empire, which is close to the extreme arctic ice field.

Of course, although Luc City is located in the northern part of the mainland, it is affected by the monsoon of the Elf Forest. The four seasons here are distinct and the climate is pleasant. It is not as cold as imagined, and it is even hotter in summer.

And Demacia and others came here, it's just a way, their real purpose is to visit Dragon Island.

That was the task that the eldest sister of the church released a few months ago. Specifically, it was to thank Dragon Island for its assistance in the war. In other words, several people were the messengers of the Elf Forest.

In theory, starting from the northwest of the Elf Forest and taking the dragon to Dragon Island should be the fastest.

But at the time of the opening of the world map of Seggs, and the date of visiting Dragon Island for a while, the players did not rush to go, but switched to another road, planning to cross the human empire, cross the polar ice sheet, and then Go to Dragon Island.

After all, I just want to go around and play, and feel the real adventure life of "Elf Country".

It is worth mentioning that it was Li Mu who came up with this idea. He also opened a special topic on mainland travel on the bullet screen video network based on this action. It is said that the number of broadcasts exploded directly.

And this time, it's not just the three of them who are going together. Each of the seven major guilds has sent at least one person, a total of ten people, and everyone is acting together.

The participants are almost all the presidents of various guilds, even if they are not, they are also high-level guilds, and their rank has been promoted to gold before departure.

This is also the basis for their choice of this task.

After the golden rank, the speed of promotion of mobs is getting slower and slower. In contrast, traveling on the mainland and solving problems that NPCs can't solve often have unexpected results.

When the group had just entered the empire, they accidentally encountered a legendary monster beast slaughtering the city near a certain town in the western region, but the other party had been seriously injured and their strength was inexhaustible.

And ten golden players, working together, cooperated with a large nearby mercenary group to slaughter the beasts.

All ten people benefited from it, and the level soared by a lot.

With the sweetness, everyone became more enthusiastic about such actions.

However, after arriving in the new city, everyone often chooses to move freely, and each guild chooses its own way to inquire about the news, and finally reunites.

And the heart of nature where the three of them were, thanks to Demacia, they were most accustomed to looking for taverns in civilian areas.

By the way, everyone came riding on dragons, but now the giant dragons have been stocked to the suburbs by them, and they have also used concealment magic to hide their figures.

No way, if so many dragons appeared at once, it would be too conspicuous.

Although...the ten people who slaughtered legendary monsters before are almost famous, Yi Yi heard from friends who took risks in Fengyue Freeland that there were already troubadours who sang about their deeds.

What the legend of the fairy dragon knight, the righteous and brave ranger and the like.

Also composed music.

After everyone started the road of adventure, a new function, or system evaluation, was also introduced in the game system--Famousness.

This is an indicator based on the reputation of the players on the continent, and represents the popularity of the players.

There are two benefits to the reputation, one is to increase the probability of players getting job transfer and advanced places, and the other is to increase the probability of triggering hidden quests.

Only when you do righteous things will you gain fame, and if you do unjust things, not only will they not increase, but your reputation will be deducted, and they will even become the target of being hunted down by the Church of Life.

If it is more serious, it will trigger the red name mechanism, and even directly ban the account.

And if you do a sensational event, the legend will skyrocket.

For example, the legendary Warcraft that killed the city with ten people before became famous all of a sudden in the west, and everyone's popularity increased a lot.

However, the popularity is not static, in the case of doing nothing, the popularity will slowly decline.

Only by constantly doing some just cause and making a name in the mainland can we maintain a high level.

It is worth mentioning that the most famous player in the entire server now is Cyber. The player who saved the Frost Spirit was already a big shot when the legend first went online.

And after the legend went online, due to the wars one after another, and all kinds of elves whose image and reputation gradually became subtle in the process of dealing with various forces, the reputation began to reverse again.

With the opening of the big map, not only did there not appear to be a large-scale phenomenon of being killed by elves, but there was also a trend of gradual improvement and improvement.

It's just that the elf's reputation after the reversal is different from the kind and innocent impression of the past.

This time...the world's impression of elves focuses on "justice", "kindness", "kindness", "chivalry", "heroic", "powerful", "hatred of evil", "eliminating evil and promoting goodness", etc. .

Like a knight in a story.

Coupled with the noble and beautiful appearance of elves, for a while, there were even some novels and dramas describing the adventures of elves, which became popular in some areas and are said to be very popular among teenagers and girls.

Faintly, a elf craze seems to be popular on the mainland.

Of course, these things are just a hint now, only some careful players have discovered it.

And to say whether there are any players behind it as a driving force... Well, it can only be said that everyone understands.

Back to the present.

It has been two months since Li Mu and others ventured all the way to Luc City.

When they leave here, they will cross the polar ice sheet, cross the Northwest Sea, and head to Long Island.

Of course, now they have to go to the mine first.

Golden dragons are very rare. There are more than a thousand giant dragons contracted with players in the entire forest of elves, but there are less than ten golden dragons in total.

The three players sat on the seats in the small town square, listening to Old John talking about the mine, and after a while, new elves appeared one after another in their field of vision.

"Big Boss Meow! Sister Feng! Here and here!"

Demacia excitedly waved to the elf in the distance.

Old John looked over curiously and saw that there were two female elves, a mage and a druid.

The robes on their bodies were even more gorgeous and beautiful than Li Mu and others.
