Game of the World Tree - Chapter 480

480. Chapter 478 Return and Intelligence (asking for monthly tickets!)

Thunder and lightning, like the wrath of heaven.

In the dull eyes of the orcs and the bewildered eyes of the elves, the arrogant orc leader was directly split into a piece of black charcoal by lightning…

Then, he slowly fell to the ground.

His charred face was facing the sky, as if he was still at the moment when

he just looked up to the sky and laughed at the gods. But at this moment, it seemed like a mockery of himself, which was extremely ridiculous.

The majesty of the gods cannot be desecrated.

Let alone the real gods. Even if it

is a false god, such mockery within the sphere of influence of the other party is a complete act of seeking death.

Especially since this god is not in the heaven, but is located in this plane, and even this orc leader is still within the sphere of influence of others!

A smell of barbecue began to waft in the air.

The pungent smell made some elves turn pale and couldn’t help vomiting.

The rest of the orcs were completely stunned.

“Dead…dead…”

“Lightning…is God’s punishment! This is God’s punishment!”

“The false God noticed us! No…it’s the real God who noticed us!”

Their expressions quickly turned into fear, and then from fear to panic, and finally they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions…

In just a few breaths, the dozens of orcs surrounding the elves ran away and disappeared, leaving only a charred corpse on the ground, which seemed to be telling what had just happened.

The expressions of the elves were very interesting.

But soon, they all fell into excitement:

“God’s punishment…really God’s punishment…”

“This must be the blessing of the gods! The goddess of life heard our prayers!”

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great goddess Eve!”

“But…why is it lightning?”

…

“Of course it’s because I was struck by lightning for pretending to be stupid.”

In the kingdom of God, Eve said leisurely while listening to the elves’ praises and prayers.

Although he was a half-way god from another world, he didn’t care about his face like the true gods in this world. He would be furious when he saw the blasphemy of mortals…

But since this orc wanted the punishment from God so much, wouldn’t it be a shame not to give him some?

For this reason, he even deliberately transformed his divine power into lightning, and even consumed more of it…

“It’s a pity, he is a fanatic, and it seems that he is also a candidate for the favor of God. Otherwise, since he is the leader, he probably knows some secrets of the orcs, and he can keep him alive to test the message.”

Eve felt a little regretful.

The moment she “saw” the orc leader, Eve roughly felt the other party’s level of faith.

This is not to say that Eve can see the level of faith of other true god believers, but that Eve sensed a trace of Ullr’s divine power on the orc leader.

And this kind of true god aura can only be possessed by believers who are blessed by the true god.

Such believers are generally fanatics, the kind with the potential to become the favored of God.

Fanatics are rare.

Eve could almost imagine how wonderful the face of the Iron-headed God in the heaven would be when he sensed that the believer he paid close attention to was killed by other true gods, especially the true gods who were at odds with him.

However, Eve did not attack the other orcs.

This is because the leader of the orcs is a fanatic, and his soul is blessed by Ullr. No matter what he does, he cannot prevent the soul of the fanatic from returning to the kingdom of God after his death.

Therefore, the winter and the hunting god Ullr must know everything about this matter.

However, the leader of the orcs was killed because he offended the majesty of the true god. Even if Ullr was unhappy, he had to admit it.

Because it was the orcs who first offended the god.

But if Eve attacked other orcs, the nature would be different.

Perhaps secretly, as long as he was not discovered by other true gods, he would be able to bully the weak as much as he wanted, just like he did when he dealt with the orcs in the core area of the Elf Forest…

But this matter cannot be put on the surface.

This is the rule of the game between true gods.

Conflicts between believers can only be resolved by the power of believers.

Although Eve did not like this kind of game rules, she could not deny that she also benefited a lot from it.

“However, the fanatics are all so smart. It seems that Uller’s management of believers is just so-so.”

Eve shook her head.

The orcs fled one after another, and the elves were finally safe.

Eve sensed it slightly. Although the elves were more or less injured, including Selena, several of them were even seriously injured, but they were not in danger of life.

Therefore, Eve gave up the urge to directly use divine power to cross the void to treat them.

After all, more and more believers have returned, and many have been attacked and injured. However, even if Eve has abundant divine power, it is impossible for her to cross the void and treat them directly when she meets one…

“Call the players, let the players go to pick them up and treat them by the way.”

He skillfully connected to the game system, sensed the path of Selina and others, and then posted a message on the world channel:

[A team of returning elves will soon appear in the Dark Mountains (coordinates 255, 437), please go to pick them up nearby players]

This is not the first time that Eve has posted similar messages.

Every time a new elf returns, as long as they enter the active range of players, He will post a similar notice on the public screen as a system notification message. After clicking on the coordinates, you can also check the location of the elves on the small map and their status.

This is a “random task” specially organized by Eve to learn lessons since the return of the Flame Tribe.

After the players complete it, they will also be given a lot of rewards.

Now, similar tasks have become popular among players.

Generally speaking, as long as they see it, nearby players will rush to do it.

Of course, if Selina and her group advance for a while, and once they officially enter Eve’s actual sphere of influence, that is, the range of players’ activities, there will be tasks issued for players to respond to. It’s just that it’s a little earlier now.

As soon as the system message came out, the players who were exploring and killing monsters in the Dark Mountains stopped their actions.

“Huh? There’s another pick-up mission?”

“Coordinates 255, 437…”

“Not far from us! Go quickly! Don’t let others snatch the mission!”

“Uh… Don’t you want to kill monsters? It’s almost dead…”

“What the hell! A Black Iron-level monster can only be divided among several of us, and each of us can get 1,000 experience points. Completing a pick-up mission will at least give 3,000 experience points and 1,000 contribution points! If you are lucky enough to escort it to Florence, you can also increase the NPC’s favorability!”

“That’s right! And aren’t you a priest? Don’t you want to be promoted?”

“Fuck! I remember that the faith of the elves who have just returned will soar. If you get the status of a preacher, you can get a place for believers for free! This is a good opportunity! Go quickly!”

For a while, the active player teams in the Dark Mountains took action.

If you look at the simulated sand table of the Kingdom of God, you will find that one blue photon after another in the Dark Mountains began to move in a certain direction.

The players all took action. As a senior member of the Oak Hand who had escorted several groups of tribesmen back to the Forest of Elves, Selina was also aware of similar mechanisms.

She cheered up and encouraged everyone:

“Everyone hold on a little longer. We have attracted the attention of Her Majesty the Goddess. As long as we climb over the hill in front, there will definitely be tribesmen to take us home.”

The elves all showed a trace of yearning on their faces.

These people, either living in hiding in human society or being rescued from nobles or the black market by the Oak Hand, have long become numb and have not had similar expectations for a long time…

At this moment, after experiencing the danger just now, their expectation to go home has become stronger and stronger, and they also have a faint feeling of uneasiness.

If you want to use a word to describe it, it may be homesickness.

A group of elves supported each other, leaning on crutches, and advanced through the mountains like pilgrims under Eve’s gaze…

and after they had crossed a hill in front of them with difficulty, they finally saw the figures they had been expecting…

There were hundreds of elves gathered at the foot of the mountain a few hundred meters ahead!

These elves were wearing gorgeous armor and robes, and there were even many noble white priests.

“Family members! They are really family members! And there are priests! They are here to pick us up!”

Seeing these elves, everyone was excited, and some older elves even burst into tears.

Hundreds of elves!

These are hundreds of elves!

How many years have they not seen so many family members?

Although they had heard some rumors about the elves when they were in the Kingdom of Aeris, those rumors were too exaggerated, and many elves did not believe them.

They had asked Selina for confirmation, but Selina smiled and said nothing about the changes in the Elf Forest, but kept everyone’s appetite hanging, making everyone itchy and looking forward to it.

At this moment, seeing so many elves coming to pick them up, the elves’ minds, which had been tense for many days, finally couldn’t hold it anymore.

Even the shallow believers in the team who were the least firm in their faith in Eve because of the vest of the goddess of life could not help but praise life and nature while cheering excitedly…

However, the returning elves were crying and cheering, but the leader Selina had a strange expression.

The other elves did not know the identities of these tribesmen, but she looked at the elves who were sitting or standing in groups of three or five, and some were even playing together, and she knew who they were.

Every time they returned to meet, it was most likely the Chosen One.

But why were there priests?

She was definitely right!

The seven or eight tribesmen wearing priest robes were definitely not ordinary elves, because only the Chosen One would jump and jump…

However, although the Chosen One was loyal to the goddess, as far as He knew, there were definitely no priests.

After all, only believers had the opportunity to become priests!

What happened in the Elf Forest during the two months she went to the Kingdom of Aris?

Selina was in surprise and confusion.

The elves saw the players, and the players also saw the elves.

Like the elves, the players also cheered.

They all stopped what they were doing and rushed over at the same time…

and seeing the players rushing towards them, the elves were shocked.

This scene of returning to their hometown and seeing their relatives cheering and welcoming them made them all fall into great emotion.

Like the players, they also gritted their teeth, dragged their bodies exhausted from running for several days, and even ran towards the players with injuries…

They could almost see the two sides gathered together, hugged each other, and cried together.

But…

such a scene did not happen.

The elves suddenly found that after their tribesmen ran for dozens of meters to meet them, they stopped moving forward.

It was as if they had encountered an invisible barrier…

They saw these tribesmen either running in place, or lying in the air with their teeth and claws bared, or twisting like insects, or simply standing still…

Although they were still cheering, they would never move forward again.

Elves:…

Looking at this scene that was a bit weird and funny, and at the same time inexplicably destroyed the atmosphere of emotion, they all fell into a stagnation.

However, Selina, who was carried on a stretcher by the elves and knew the truth, could not help but cover her face.

She coughed and explained with difficulty:

“They are the Chosen Ones. They cannot leave the range of activities stipulated by the Goddess, so… this should be their largest area of activity.”

The Chosen Ones?

The elves were stunned.

“This… is the Chosen Ones? The elven army that the Goddess created with the help of the Goddess of Death?”

They were speechless.

Along the way, including in the Kingdom of Iris, they have heard the name of the Chosen Ones more than once.

With the war in the underground world, the name of the goddess of life Eve has begun to spread in the world of Segos, and at the same time, there is also a legendary elven army that is loyal to her in large numbers and has the same resurrection ability as the Heroic Spirits – the Chosen Ones!

Although many people think that the rumors are too exaggerated, there is one thing that is absolutely correct.

That is, the identity of the Chosen Ones represents the core power of the goddess Eve, and the Chosen Ones are also the direct contributors to the resurgence of the elves!

For a time, the elves were in awe.

They no longer hesitated, continued to move forward, and finally gathered with the players.

As soon as they came into contact, the players immediately surrounded them enthusiastically. Almost every elf had several players in front of them, asking about their well-being, handing them various fruits they brought with them, and treating their injuries.

Among them, the players around Selina were the most numerous.

“Miss Selina, long time no see!”

“Lady Selina, you came from the Dark Mountains this time. Are you going to the south to meet the tribesmen?”

“Ms. Selina, you have worked hard all the way. You don’t look very well. I have just been promoted to a formal priest. I will treat you quickly!”

The players were very enthusiastic.

However, Selina felt a little ashamed.

Because she found that these chosen ones actually knew her, but she didn’t know them. At most, she felt that some of them looked familiar…

In fact, there was a reason for this.

Selina was a devout believer and had returned to the Forest of Elves. She had already opened the task system and could issue tasks to the chosen ones.

In the eyes of the players, this was the only NPC with a white template in the team!

The names of all the elves who have activated the quest system will appear in the players’ field of vision, and many people even have an impression of Selina…

On the contrary, with so many players, Selina would definitely not recognize all of them.

However, as the players treated the elves, Selina noticed that the elves wearing priest robes were actually real priests, because they used real magic!

Not only that, Selina also found that they could clearly identify which elves in a row were not so devout in their beliefs.

Because those tribesmen who were still skeptical about the goddess of life would be surrounded by the priests of the Chosen One, and in a daze, they heard the other party’s propaganda of the Church of Life…

Selina:…

“Chosen Ones… finally some people have begun to accept the faith of the Goddess and are committed to preaching?”

At this moment, she was inexplicably relieved.

However, she was not worried about those tribesmen.

Because time and time again, facts have proved that all the tribesmen who are skeptical of the Goddess of Life, after returning to the Forest of Elves and knowing the truth about the Goddess of Life, will often become those who change their faith the fastest and are the most devout to Goddess Eve…

Because their suspicion itself is their persistence in the Mother Goddess and the World Tree.

The players’ treatment was very effective.

Although she was only a priest of the lower level of Black Iron, she had stabilized Selena’s condition.

As soon as her condition stabilized, she couldn’t help but issue tasks to the players:

“Chosen Ones, please take me to see Alice and Lord Zero as soon as possible. I have important news to report…”

“Important news to report?”

Hearing her words, the players’ eyes lit up.

Their eyes turned green, like hungry wolves seeing delicious food.

At this moment, the players smelled the plot…

…

Surrounded by the players, a group of elves successfully returned to the Forest of Elves, and Selina also received intensive treatment while meeting the Saint of Life Alice and the God-favored Zero in the lounge of the Temple of the Chosen City.

And she also informed the other party of the news she knew.

“You mean, we got news from the Kingdom of Ayres that the orcs in the Death Desert are starting to stir again and are starting to block the returning elves in various ways. Not only that… through the secret line buried in the underground black market of the Kingdom of Ayres, you also found that the Soran Chamber of Commerce has been making continuous moves recently and has transported a large number of strategic materials to the Death Desert?”

Eve, who descended in the vest of the God-favored Zero, raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly.

Selina, whose complexion had improved, nodded seriously:

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Although the Sauron Chamber of Commerce is a smuggling chamber of commerce, the power and energy it possesses are no less than that of a small human country.”

“I suspect… the orcs have already established contact with the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and their target… is us, the elves.”
