Game of the World Tree - Chapter 438

438. Chapter 436 The Secret of the Demiplane

“Should I call you gods, or… elves?”

Hearing the other party’s friendly and meaningful words, several players looked at each other, and saw some surprise in each other’s eyes. You

know, since they found out that the humans in this demiplane worship elves as gods, they have asked Lilia and others indirectly whether they have heard of the term “elves”.

Unfortunately, Lilia and her group have never heard of the word “elves”.

However, the male NPC in front of them revealed their identities in one sentence.

Could it be that… he knows something?

For a moment, the players’ eyes lit up.

Key NPC!

This must be the key NPC for this hidden mission!

After seeing the surprised expressions of several players, the male NPC smiled gently.

He placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and then said weakly:

“Ahem… Let me introduce myself…”

“I am the seventeenth elder of the Shen’en Ancestors. You can call me Lueg.”

After saying that, he turned around and smiled at Lilia, saying:

“Lilia, go and do your thing first. I have something to say to you.”

“But… Elder, the Mandragora Magic Flower has been brought back, but you haven’t taken the medicine yet… Shouldn’t you take it first…”

Lilia said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, with you, the adults are here, and with the magic flower you brought back, this minor illness won’t be a big deal.”

Elder Lueg smiled and comforted.

Lilia glanced at the players, then at her own elders, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, bowed to them, and left the living room.

Before she left, she couldn’t help but turn around and say,

“Elder, you must take the medicine first!”

“Don’t worry.”

Elder Lueg waved at her and watched her leave.

It was not until Lilia’s figure completely disappeared that the seemingly poorly-looking Elder Shen’en put away his smile and sighed,

“Lilia is a good child, and everyone in the town is a good child…”

There was a hint of sadness and melancholy in his tone.

After a few seconds of silence, Elder Lueg looked at the players again.

This time, his expression was much more serious.

He saluted the players again and drew a not-so-standard tree symbol on his chest, then said solemnly,

“Lueg, meet the gods.”

“Dear gods, I have been waiting for you here for a long, long time, and we, the poor abandoned people, have also been waiting for you for a long, long time…”

This… tree symbol? God’s messenger? Abandoned people?

The players were very surprised.

“He actually drew the symbol of the goddess! Could it be that… they are also believers of the goddess?”

“That’s not right. If they are believers, the goddess should know it, right? If they are believers, couldn’t the goddess just find them directly through the oracle? Why does she need us to look for the artifact fragments?”

“Have they been abandoned by the goddess?”

“I don’t know…”

The players were typing and communicating in the chat channel, very confused.

However, before the players could raise any questions, the elder suddenly started to cough violently again.

His face flushed a little abnormally, and his breath was almost visibly weakened.

Seeing the other party’s obviously abnormal state, the warrior player Optimist frowned:

“Mr. Rueg, Miss Lilia is right. Since you have obtained the Mandragora Magic Flower, you should take the medicine first.”

However, after hearing his words, Elder Rueg shook his head:

“Lord God’s Envoy, I know my body well. I don’t have much time left.”

Optimist was slightly stunned. He wanted to say something, but the druid player Chopin, who had been silent, raised his head and said:

“He is right.”

“This is not an ordinary disease, but a vital exhaustion. The so-called Mandragora Magic Flower may not be useful to him.”

After being promoted to Silver, Chopin is also a genuine Archdruid.

Not only that, he chose the healing specialization. The moment he saw this Divine Grace Elder whose strength was only mid-level Dark Iron, he saw the real problem with the other party’s body through the Silver Druid’s [Transparent Eyes].

After hearing what Chopin said, Elder Rueg looked at him unexpectedly and nodded slightly:

“As expected of you, Lord God’s Messenger. Yes, this is indeed not a disease, but the long-term use of nature magic has caused excessive consumption of my own vitality…”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly:

“In fact, the Mandragora Magic Flower is of no use to me. I even know that this kind of magic flower may not exist in this world. The reason why I told Lilia and the others that this magic flower can cure my ‘disease’ is just to give everyone an idea…”

“However, I didn’t expect that Lilia and the others actually went to the Elf Forest to collect this magic flower, and even brought this magic flower back…”

“But when she told me about your existence, I understood what was going on.”

As he spoke, Rueg looked at several players and sighed:

“I’m afraid… this magic flower was also brought by you, right? From the legendary ‘God’s Realm’…”

“After all, the magic power of this world is too low to produce such legendary treasures. I’m afraid that only the God Realm with abundant magic power can produce them.”

The legendary treasures…

The players twitched their lips and thought of the Mandrake flowers (Mandragora Magic Flowers) in the forest, which were not common, but could be found everywhere in areas suitable for growth…

It must be said that this low-energy world is indeed short of resources.

Elder Lueg did not notice the strange expressions of the few people. He then sighed:

“Speaking of which, I had completely despaired of this world, but I didn’t expect that at the end of my life, I would be able to see the arrival of the gods. It seems that… the prophecy is true.”

After hearing his words, the players looked surprised.

Although the content of the Divine Grace Elder’s words was slightly different from the actual situation, it was almost the same.

They looked at each other, and finally it was Hulu who stood up again, asking with a serious expression:

“Mr. Rueg, what do you want to tell us, and… you said you have been waiting for us, what is going on? What about the prophecy?”

After hearing Hulu’s words, Elder Rueg’s expression also became serious.

He sighed deeply and said:

“This involves the secrets of our ancestors of Shen’en, the secrets of this world, and the secrets of the God of Creation…”

“My Lords, the God of Creation of this world… has fallen.”

I just realized that the occupations of Hulu and Chopin were written reversed before, and now they have been changed.
