Game of the World Tree - Chapter 20

20. Chapter 20 Winter and the God of Hunting (Please vote!)

Goblin priest?

Eve’s heart sank.

Generally speaking, priests cannot be born among goblins, because they have neither totems nor beliefs.

But once a goblin priest is born, it means that this group is likely to have a racial totem, or to have surrendered to a certain god…

If it is the former, it’s fine, but if it is the latter…

Thinking of Basaka’s deliberate hiding, Eve already had some guesses in her heart…

Only by surrendering to a certain god will the Oak Guards be afraid to act rashly!

“Who is it?”

A magnificent voice resounded in Basaka’s mind, but this time, the voice was a little serious.

Basaka instantly understood what the Mother Goddess meant. He took a deep breath and respectfully replied in his mind:

“According to my observation, it should be the God of Winter and Hunting – Uller.”

Sure enough!

Eve felt a little heavy.

This is exactly the same target as He guessed!

He knew that the orcs had planted a tribe near the Elf Forest.

As the largest source of believers of the God of Winter and Hunting, the Orc Tribe also means the eyes of Uller.

From the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve has already had a certain understanding of Uller.

Uller is a relatively young god of faith. It is said that he was born from the primitive totem two thousand years ago and has the strength of a weak peak of divine power.

His duties are winter and hunting. As early as ancient times, he was at odds with the World Tree that controls nature, life and elves. In the War of the Gods, he was also the enemy of the World Tree.

After the fall of the World Tree, this cruel god did not give up the persecution of the elves and is now the biggest enemy of the elves.

Therefore, he is also on Eve’s list of people who must be killed, whether for revenge for the predecessor or for his own safety and strength…

and now it seems that this god seems to be collecting the blood crystals of the World Tree!

In order to find the target, he even took in goblins!

Although goblins are creatures with low intelligence and provide very little faith power, they are afraid of the strong and are very suitable as coolies. Therefore, Eve was not surprised that they were chosen by Uller.

However, Uller’s collection operation should not have started for long. After all, before that, the God Blood Crystals were in a sealed state and were difficult to be discovered by living beings.

Thinking of this, He had some guesses:

“Could it be that… Uller, the God of Winter and Hunting, discovered the changes in the God Blood Crystals and wanted to obtain the priesthood of nature and life by analyzing the collected God Blood Crystals?”

The winter and hunting priesthoods that Uller possessed were both secondary priesthoods, which were one level lower than the main priesthoods of nature and life, and their strength would naturally be a few points weaker.

The reason why Uller has been wandering in a weak divine power for so many years is precisely because his priesthood is too poor.

And winter and hunting are related to nature and life.

Therefore, Eve was not surprised that Uller wanted to obtain the priesthood of nature and life by analyzing the God Blood of the World Tree.

After all, for the true gods, analyzing the God Blood Crystals is the fastest way to obtain information about the priesthoods of other true gods.

However, Eve did not think that Uller would immediately associate the changes in the God Blood Crystal with the revival of the World Tree. At most, he would think that the curse magic had disappeared.

After all, a thousand years had passed, and it was normal for the masterless magic to disappear…

In addition, Eve was not worried that Uller’s plan would succeed.

Now He has revived as the World Tree and regained control over nature and life.

The priesthood and the power of control are unique, so even if Uller fights for his life, he can’t analyze the priesthood he expects.

Uller’s real plan fell through the moment Eve revived.

But even so, absorbing the God Blood Crystal of the World Tree will provide Uller with a certain amount of divine power, making Him more powerful.

This is not what Eve wants to see.

After all, the God Blood Crystal of the World Tree should have belonged to the successor Eve, which also means an opportunity for Him to quickly recover his strength!

Thinking of this, Eve continued to ask:

“How strong are those goblins?”

“Most of them are above level 5, with a few elite level 10, but the goblin priests have the strength of the lower level of Black Iron at level 11. The exact number of priests is currently unknown.”

Basaka replied.

Their strength is not that strong.

Eve nodded in her heart.

With this level of strength, if he was not worried about being discovered by Uller, Basaka could wipe out the opponent with just one finger.

“The priest leader is level 11, the elite is level 10, and the others are level 5 to 9…”

“This level is quite suitable for players to practice.”

Eve murmured in her heart.

After a few days of tasks, the strength of the three hundred players has long been different from the past, and most of them have been promoted to level 7 or above.

Not only that, some daily liver emperors and designer bosses have been promoted to the last level of apprentices, level 10, relying on completing tasks, and are only one step away from the black iron rank.

This strength is a little difficult to deal with other powerful black iron monsters, but it is more than enough to deal with goblins. Even if it is a level 11 black iron lower priest, the players are not invincible if they unite.

These days, although the players have been working hard to complete the tasks, the long-term repetitive work has also made many people feel bored.

So far, many brave players have ignored the system’s novice guidance and tried to explore outside the safe zone.

At this time, the best way is to give them something fun to do.

Originally, Eve planned to let Barsaka drive some suitable monsters from outside the safe zone for players to level up, and then encourage them to go out and have fun after reaching level 11.

But the appearance of the goblins made Eve see another better way.

“After all, Basaka is a druid who worships nature. Although he doesn’t say it, if I really ask him to drive away the wild beasts, it will inevitably affect his faith… However, goblins are different.”

“Goblins belong to the hostile camp and are relatively weak. Hunting them will not affect the perception of the native believers, and their strength is not that threatening to the players.”

“Not only that, letting players hunt goblins can also destroy Ullr’s plan and indirectly gain the recognition of the elf spirits.”

“In addition, players can also help me find the God’s Blood Crystal! Let me get out of the near-death state faster!”

“Haha, it seems that I will soon be able to get the first return on investment in players!”

Thinking of this, Eve already had a plan in her mind.

He planned to design a sub-plot and develop the first “dungeon mission” of the game on the ruins of Florence, allowing players to deal with goblins!

Players are different from Basaka.

Basaka is Eve’s follower and believer. Taking action against Ullr’s minions and priests will attract the attention of the other party.

But players are not.

Although they have the appearance of elves, they are not believers.

Not a believer, which means there is no mark of the gods on the soul.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if the player is a believer, their souls are on the Blue Star, and only the consciousness comes here. Uller wants to investigate the existence of the mark of faith, so he goes to the Blue Star first.

Thousands of years ago, the gods witnessed the fall of the World Tree with their own eyes during the War of the Gods… and believed it without a doubt.

The player’s action will at most make Uller suspect that some elves who have lost their faith have returned to the Elf Forest, and will not cause him to doubt the revival of the World Tree.

In addition, the goblins living in the ruins of the holy city of Florence are an insult to the proud elves, so it is not surprising that angry elves take action.

In this case, if there is no participation of the gods’ believers, just the killing of some goblins is not enough to attract Uller’s attention.

Eve doesn’t think that the goblins in Florence are all that Uller has recruited. Since there are even here, the ruins of other elf cities distributed in the Elf Forest and its surroundings may also be infiltrated by Uller.

Of course, Eve doesn’t think she can hide it for long.

Since Uller has discovered that the seal of the God’s Blood Crystal has been lifted, it will be a matter of time before He realizes that the curse of the World Tree has also been lifted.

In this case, it is only a matter of time before He sends his followers to explore the World Tree…

So, it is only a matter of time before Eve is exposed.

Fortunately, the only true god who has noticed the God’s Blood Crystal is Uller, a god with weak divine power.

Eve must improve her strength as soon as possible…

For this, it is worth taking some risks.

Thinking of this, Eve has made a decision.

“Basaka, I have something to tell you.”
