Game of the World Tree

As if feeling something unexpected, the silver-haired man frowned slightly.

"The seal is loose, is he going to recover so soon?"

His voice was gentle and mellow, with a hint of vigilance and solemnity.

Then, he turned his head and looked towards the far southwest, thoughtfully.

"It's still coming..."

He sighed slightly, as if he had made some sort of decision.

After a while, he turned slightly, changed direction, and disappeared into the crowd.

The people around seemed to have no reaction to his disappearance, as if this person never existed...

...

Maple Leaf City.

A week has passed since the day of wrath.

That's right, the day of wrath.

Until now, people still remember the golden beam of light that fell from the sky that day, the Eternal Church that disappeared in an instant, and the various visions that followed in the sky.

That kind of powerful power has completely exceeded the understanding of ordinary people, and I am afraid that only true gods have it.

Some devout believers believe that it must belong to the power of the Eternal Lord, and it must be the people of Maple Leaf City who have done something to anger the great true God, so they are punished by God...

Of course, there are also many shallow believers and those who believe in other true gods who are still skeptical.

In the past six months, visions have appeared frequently in various parts of the empire.

Events that might be classified as miracles on weekdays have also become sparse and common.

And the activities of the Church of Despair in Maple Leaf City for several years are not without effect.

The doomsday theories they promoted for missionary purposes also left a deep shadow in people's hearts with the appearance of various visions...

Of course, the most subtle thing was the reaction of the Maple Leaf Lord's Mansion, Baifengbao, after that frightening night.

As the owner of the frontier collar, Uncle Border did not come forward after the incident, but only sent guards to maintain the chaotic order in Maple Leaf City and isolate the ruins of the temple.

Also, there is no explanation.

It was not until all kinds of rumors spread wildly in Maple Leaf City that Bai Fengbao casually issued a notice, explaining the accident that happened that night a few days ago.

The general idea is that a secret organization lurking in Maple Leaf City destroyed the church and led to a battle of powerful existences.

This secret organization is called the Church of Despair, which is suspected to be an evil organization that believes in a certain evil god.

At present, the great frontier Bo Otto von Cappadocia has secretly tracked down the cult's den, completely destroyed it, and put the arrested members at the stake.

Not long after the announcement was issued, the White Maple Guards affiliated to Border Uncle tied dozens of hooded figures to the square in the center of the city, and burned them all to death in front of the residents of Maple Leaf City.

In this regard, the whole city of Maple Leaf City was in an uproar.

Some people applauded, some questioned, some were frightened, and some breathed a sigh of relief.

However, no matter how the public reacted, the matter was finally suppressed.

Although the official did not specify what the powerful existence was, the word of God's wrath gradually spread among the residents.

Time always forgets everything.

After a few days, the residents gradually forgot what happened before.

Only in the tavern is it occasionally mentioned as a talking point after drinking.

When the sky is falling, tall people are holding on, and ordinary people are more concerned about their own little days.

The business district, the residence of the Golden Apple Firm.

At this moment, some small figures are gathering in front of the tall buildings.

They carried the ladder, took off the logo belonging to the Golden Apple Firm, and replaced it with another brand new one.

Pedestrians pass by here from time to time, stop curiously, and read the small common language on the sign:

"Amway Firm?"

For a time, many people whispered:

"Amway Firm? Is this a new firm? What about the former Golden Apple Firm?"

"Don't you know? The Golden Apple Firm went bankrupt more than a week ago! I heard that it encountered a fraud gang from the south..."

"Hey...they were able to deceive the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce into bankruptcy! If I remember correctly...the man behind their firm is Baron Baird, right?"

"Heh... Baron Baird? Haven't you heard? It was because of bankruptcy that the baron had committed suicide in his study..."

"Hey... How much money was cheated... Then what happened to this Amway Chamber of Commerce? I've never heard of it before... Uh, no... Amway... I think it sounds a little familiar... I think Get up! Isn't this the chamber of commerce organization that recently bought and sold goods in the tavern?"

"Che, you just remembered! I heard that this chamber of commerce belongs to the dwarves, and some of their things are really good, and... they also allow the common people of the empire to take shares and share dividends to make money. I heard that some people make money within a few days. A lot of gold pounds!"

"Really? Is there such a good thing?"

"How can there be fakes? Didn't you see that there were so many people lining up at the door? They didn't go to buy things, they all wanted to buy shares. They only needed 5 gold pounds, or items of the same value, to join their chamber of commerce... ...then, if you work hard, you can become a hundred-pound millionaire within a year!"

"Hmm... 5 gold pounds! Damn, that's my family's income for a year! And investing 5 pounds to earn a hundred pounds? They're not cheating, are they?"

"Hey, you don't understand. If you want to know what's going on, just go and see it, and then come to a conclusion after reading it."

"Let's talk about it. It's really messed up recently... It's a fraud gang, and it's also punished by God, and I also heard that a black dragon seems to have come to the border recently, entrenched in the dark mountains."

"Hey... I heard that too, it's a black dragon! I heard that it seems that people have been caught and eaten, and the villages on the border are still harming the villages. It's terrible..."

"I don't know if the lord will organize a team to solve it. A black dragon... It's scary to think about it."

The speaker shook his head and sighed.

Similar discussions arose one after another in the crowd of onlookers.

Behind them, a red-haired man dressed as an imperial noble stood there, smilingly looking at the long queue in front of the chamber of commerce, his face full of embarrassment.

The companion beside him hesitated for a moment, turned to his side, and whispered in his ear:

"Boss Demacia... let's do this... won't we end up being hunted down by the entire Maple Leaf City? Shouldn't we keep a low profile?"

The red-haired man smiled and shook his head indifferently:

"What are you panicking about. Do you see what happened to me in Heiyan City?"

After speaking, he turned around again, looked at his companion and asked:

"By the way, how is the follow-up of the hidden mission?"

His companion nodded:

"Every tavern has spread, anyway... Now everyone in Maple Leaf City should know that a powerful black dragon has appeared near the border!"

The second one is even later. Let's watch it tomorrow.
