Game of the World Tree

The sun sets, and night falls.

The night gradually drowned the sky, and the bustling Grey Harbor ushered in the night.

The lights flickered in the city, illuminating the city at night. It was a magic street lamp on the road, and the lights in every house. They were either the elves who settled in the Grey Harbor, or the Heart of Nature Guild, And players of the Heart of Nature affiliated guild.

Sophia was sitting in the Amway Tavern at the Heart of Nature, looking at the scene outside the window in a trance.

Her expression was much more relaxed than during the day, and she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Until a knock on the door slowly recalled her thoughts...

"Please come in."

The girl said softly.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Demacia, who was carrying a plate of sumptuous dinner, walked in leisurely.

After seeing who came in, the expression on Sophia's face instantly turned cold.

"Hey...don't drive me away first, don't drive me away first, I'm just a food delivery person, I'll get out of here after delivery..."

Looking at the girl's disgusted gaze, Demacia said helplessly.

Sophia snorted coldly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Mr. Demacia, the moment I saw you, I lost my appetite. I advise you to stay at home. After all, pets are not allowed to run around in the tavern."

she said coldly.

Demacia:  …

"Anyway, this hotel is also an asset under my name... If it doesn't hurt me, it won't work..."

He muttered resentfully.

Then, he put the plate in his hand on the table.

Sophia glanced at him indifferently, but did not drive him away after all.

Seemingly sensing the girl's good mood, Demacia became more courageous.

He looked at the direction Sophia was facing, hehe smiled and said:

"Hey hey, how is it? Miss Sophia, how is our Grey Harbor? Isn't it very prosperous?"

"No matter how prosperous a city is, it will also make people feel bored when there are dirty mice."

Sophia said lightly.

Demacia:  …

"Forget it, I shouldn't talk too much."

He sighed and turned away.

"but……"

And at this moment, Sophia's voice came again.

"This is indeed a beautiful and happy city, in my opinion, no less than Zeroland."

She looked at the lively lights outside the window and the happy crowd in the square and said.

Those soft eyes had a little more warmth.

"As much as Zeroland?"

Hearing the girl's words, Demacia's expression flashed a little strange.

He couldn't help but want to complain that Zeroland wasn't all aristocratic residential areas, but after thinking about the girl's swearing tongue without swear words, and the conversation between the eldest sister and the girl during the day, he finally endured it...

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as an ignorant little girl."

Demacia grumbled.

Then, he waved his hand:

"I'm leaving, remember to gather tomorrow, and... put away the goddess statue, you will use it sooner or later."

After speaking, Demacia left the room without waiting for Sophia to answer, shaking her head.

"You're still young..."

His voice grew farther and farther as the door closed.

Demacia left the room, and Sophia gradually retracted her gaze from the window.

"Is the goddess statue..."

She murmured and looked at the wooden table in front of her.

On the table stood a beautiful and holy goddess about thirty or forty centimeters high.

According to the introduction of the elves during the day, this is the statue of Eve, the goddess of life.

Looking at the statue, Sophia's mind resounded again in the words of the goddess of the goddess of life, Zero Moonlight:

"Miss Sophia, this is the idol that summons the Elf Chosen. Bring it with you. When you need it, please ask the goddess for help."

Ask the goddess of life for help...

Thinking of the various legends about the goddess of life, Sophia hesitated for a while, but she still put the statue away and put it in the storage ring she carried with her.

Afterwards, she touched her grumbling stomach, and finally she couldn't help coming to the dining table with the plate on it, wiped her hands gracefully with a wet towel, and then enjoyed it...

...

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the next day, Sophia, who had packed up, arrived at the port of Grey Harbor early.

A wooden brig about 30 to 40 meters long was standing by the port. The white sails on it were embroidered with golden irises and a pattern with the logo of the Amway Chamber of Commerce.

This is a sailboat built by players using the technology on the Blue Star.

Although it was technically transformed by the sea boat on the Blue Star, it is very suitable for sailing in the deep and windy Vymur River. At the same time, the magic circle of light-weight art depicted on the bottom of the boat also enables the sailing boat to approach the shore when it is close to the shore. The draught is reduced so that it can be docked easily without the risk of stranding.

For this reason, it is often used by players as a merchant ship, and even transporting livestock.

At this moment, some elves are driving tall horses to board the ship.

Each of those horses was more majestic than the high-class war horses Sophia saw in her castle, and their bodies were covered with tight scales.

"Dragon scale horse..."

The half-elf girl looked surprised.

She recognized that these steeds should have drank the blood of giant dragons, and they are quite precious mutant beasts.

In the records she read from the book, this kind of monster horse is extremely fast, and it is a very suitable mount for traveling.

Sophia took a few glances at the sailboat and the horse, and then withdrew her gaze.

If she guessed correctly, it is probably the boat that escorted her to the upper reaches of the Vermul River to find Duke Rosen.

And those dragon-scale horses may also be mounts provided by the elves.

At this point, Sophia turned her gaze to the shore, and there were already many half-elf girls at the port, either unfamiliar or familiar.

It was a tall elf, there were about 20 people, they were men and women, they were fully armed, their equipment was very gorgeous, and everyone had the power of silver, so Sophia couldn't help but read more few eyes.

Although the magic power of Saigus Continent is constantly improving, and there are more and more extraordinary people breaking through the ranks, but this strength is barely considered a strong one.

The elves stood in two rows, their bodies tall and straight.

The people at the head were acquaintances whose names the half-elf girl already knew.

Li Mu, Demacia, Yi Yi, Meng Zhihan, Jasmine under the Moon and others were impressively included.

They were surrounded by the elf's favored person, Zero Moonlight, and the Saint of Life, Alice Gale, and they were talking to each other...

Seeing Zero and Alice, Sophia's eyes lit up slightly.

She came to the other side, pinched the corner of her clothes and bowed:

"Good morning, Master Zero, Your Highness Alice."

"Good morning, Miss Sophia."

Saint Alice also performed an elf etiquette and returned a gentle salute.

The God-Blessed Zero also turned around and smiled lightly at the girl:

"Good morning, Miss Sophia, how did you rest last night?"

"Very good, the food of the elves is delicious, and the wooden bed with incense also helps sleep."

The girl replied respectfully.

Of course, the dark circles at the corners of her eyes still betrayed her state.

However, although it was obvious that she hadn't slept well, the girl was in good spirits and full of energy.

Zero did not expose the girl's words, she nodded and introduced the surrounding elves to Sophia:

"Miss Sophia, they are members of the Iris Knights of the Heart of Nature. Each of them has the strength of the lower peak of silver. They will escort you to find Duke Rosen."

The knights of the elves?

Sophia was slightly taken aback.

She looked closely at the elves, and found the exact same golden iris emblem on their chests.

Then, Sophia looked solemn, pinched the corner of her clothes again, and bowed to the elves:

"Sophia von Wells, I have seen all the elf knights."

Looking at the polite half-elf girl, the players returned their salutes, and at the same time, many people looked at Demacia in the team with strange eyes.

And where Sophia doesn't know, the teasing has begun...

In the chat channel of the Knights of the Heart of Nature——

Natsume: "Didn't you say poisonous tongue? I look very polite!"

Moonlight Jasmine: "What did Demacia do to irritate the NPC?"

Ji Ji: "Ahahaha... You don't know, this guy just ate the garlic fruit, and he gave someone a strong kiss. If he wasn't hunted down, he would be considered rough-skinned and thick-skinned, ahahaha..."

Players:  …

Natsume: "Your special mother is really talented!"

Demacia: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm doing artificial respiration!"

Ji Ji: "You dare to say that you didn't have any crooked thoughts? You ran faster than Miss Ben at that time."

Demacia: "..."

Players: "..."

"As expected of you..."

"Sure enough."

"Hahaha, Dema, your cruelty will always be the source of my happiness, ahahaha..."

For a time, the chat channel was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The players chatted happily in the chat channel, but on the surface they looked serious, like well-disciplined soldiers.

It’s been a long time since I’ve played the game. How to do tasks in the game while spanking in the chat channel is a must-have skill for every veteran player.

Anyway... just lock the facial expressions in the system.

Although it will be inconvenient, it is still very suitable to prevent laughter or other unexpected situations when doing tasks.

Anyway... it's still very convenient to fool NPCs.

This is also a classic method that the old fritters have found out in the bitterness of losing their favor again and again.

And all of this also caused Sophia, who didn't know the truth, to see the solemn expressions of the players in her eyes, but nodded secretly in her heart, and her evaluation of the Elf Knights rose a bit...

After introducing the escorts, Zero looked at the sailboat on the shore:

"This is Nature, the fastest sailboat in Grey Harbor. It will carry you and your escorts to the upper reaches of the Elf Forest. You will arrive at the human port town, Hewan Town, upstream in about half a day. After another half-day journey on the Dragonscale Horse, you can arrive at Morningstar City, where Duke Rosen's army is located."

After listening to Zero's words, Sophia's eyes lit up:

"Master Zero, have you found out where Duke Rosen is?"

"Hey, it was investigated by the intelligence network of our Amway Chamber of Commerce. Our offline people are all over the western part of the empire."

Demacia interjected triumphantly.

However, the half-elf girl ignored his words.

She didn't even look at him, as if she regarded him as an air man, which made Demacia, who wanted to show off a few words, shy.

Zero glanced at Demacia and said to Sophia:

"As it is at the moment, it is said that the Imperial Army is gathering mercenaries there."

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully:

"Thank you so much, Master Zero, I will never forget your help."

After she finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in her hand, and a brand new scroll appeared:

"This is the oath contract I borrowed a pen and paper to write last night. I have sworn with my soul that when I return to the family and take control of the territory, I will definitely honor my previous promise!"

The girl's expression was solemn, and while she said that, she handed a scroll to Zero.

Zero picked it up, but didn't seem to care about the content on the scroll.

She didn't even look at it, she put it away, nodded slightly to Sophia, and said meaningfully:

"Miss Sophia, I wish you well, when you encounter difficulties, please remember to ask the goddess for help."

Sophia was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly:

"I see."

After saying goodbye to the two leaders of the elves, the half-elf girl boarded the ship accompanied by the Knights of Iris.

The ship raised its sails, left the port, and slowly sailed into the distance...

Watching the sailboat gradually disappear from sight, Alice, the Saint of Life, couldn't help but ask:

"Master Zero, do you think she will succeed?"

Eve, who was wearing a vest, shook her head slightly:

"Will not."

"Why are you so sure?"

Alice asked suspiciously.

"Because she's too idealistic."

Eve said slowly.

"Ideal? Isn't it because of her elven blood?"

Alice was a little curious.

After pondering slightly, Eve continued:

"For human nobles... elf blood is not a problem, it may even be a bonus..."

"However, even if Duke Rosen can accept a noble with elven blood, he will not accept an idealized noble..."

"why?"

Alice asked curiously.

"Because of the position of the nobles."

Eve sighed.

Hearing her words, Alice couldn't help but say:

"You... seem to know a lot about the Holy Mannia Empire..."

"It's just that there are more things 'seen'..."

Eve shook her head.

"See more?"

Alice tilted her head in confusion.

Eve didn't explain any further.

"Prepare to send missions to the Chosen Ones. Soon, the elf mercenaries will be on stage. If we are lucky, maybe in a few years, we will be able to celebrate the harvest festival in Maple Leaf City."

she said to Alice.

After speaking, she turned around and left the dock.

Only Saint Alice was left, pondering.
