Game of the World Tree - Chapter 481

481. Chapter 479 Undercurrent (asking for monthly ticket!)

“The Sauron Chamber of Commerce is the largest smuggling guild in the world of Segos, controlling at least 70% of the black market slave trade. For them, buying and selling elves is itself an important source of income for the Chamber of Commerce.”

“As far as I know, after the news that the Mother Goddess… um… Her Majesty the Goddess began to protect the elves spread, they became a little restless. After all, a race that is blessed by the true God and a race that is not blessed by the

true God are two completely different things.” “This is a group of bastards who can do anything without bottom line for the sake of profit. As human businessmen, they don’t even believe in the God of Trade and Justice of the human pantheon, and they only do some shady things…” “

So… I have every reason to guess that the orcs may have reached some promise with them in secret, and the orcs may very well intend to invade our Elf Forest again.”

Selena said seriously.

“But, Selina, we have already defeated the orc army once before. A full 30,000 orcs were annihilated by the Chosen Ones. Even the Lionheart King Imush and the Chief High Priest of the orcs were all killed in the battle. The orc king’s sacred weapon, the Lionheart Sword, became the spoils of the Chosen Ones…”

“Under such circumstances, do the orcs still have the strength to organize an army to attack again? You know, we were still very weak at that time, but now… both the Chosen Ones and us are no longer the same as before.”

Life Saint Alice asked back.

She frowned slightly, with doubt in her words.

After hearing her words, Selena sighed and said,

“Alice, I thought so before, but… when I was in the Kingdom of Iris, I met other tribesmen and learned more about the orcs.”

“We still know too little about the orcs…”

At this point, she paused, looked at the God-favored Zero who was listening quietly, and asked,

“Lord Zero, can I invite a tribe member who knows the inside story to come in?”

Eve nodded slightly.

With her instruction, Selena quickly invited a male elf in.

It was an elf companion who returned with her. His hair was ice blue and his eyes were as clear as sapphires.

However, at this moment, he looked dazed, crying and laughing, as if he was greatly stimulated.

However, Alice and Eve were not surprised by his appearance.

After Eve began to preach the faith as the vest of the Goddess of Life and the protector of the elves, many elves who returned after some hesitation and entanglement, after seeing the grand scene of the Elf Forest and realizing the true identity of the Goddess of Life… all had this expression.

It was shock, ecstasy, excitement, and grievance…

However, this elf soon realized that he had lost his composure. He wiped the corners of his eyes, which were a little wet, and hurriedly saluted Eve and Alice:

“Mers Frost, I greet the Lord God’s Blessed One and the Lady Saint.”

His movements were very standard. They were not elf etiquette, but the most popular human noble etiquette on the continent.

Eve nodded slightly, and Alice helped him up in surprise:

“So you are a member of the Frost Tribe. You’re welcome. Just call me Alice.”

However, when she helped him up, Alice noticed that there were hideous scars under his sleeves.

The elf girl paused for a moment, her expression a little complicated, and Myers raised his arm a little awkwardly:

“Sorry… I let you see something ugly…”

“No, don’t be nervous, I understand, you’ve suffered.”

Alice helped him up and comforted him.

She didn’t ask how the scars on his body came from, because she had already guessed the reason.

“Myers is a companion we rescued from the Soran Chamber of Commerce. He was sold to the human world by slave traders when he was very young. He stayed in the Kingdom of Iris for a full three hundred years and knows the orcs very well.”

Selina explained.

There is nothing wrong with this statement that he has been in the Kingdom of Iris for a long time and knows the orcs very well.

Because the Kingdom of Iris faces the Death Desert and is the human kingdom most threatened by the orcs. The humans in the kingdom have been fighting with the orc tribes in the Four Emperors Desert for many years and are particularly familiar with them.

This familiarity is even far greater than the elves who once helped the orcs settle down, and also greater than Eve who inherited the heritage of the World Tree.

“I’m sorry… I’ve been in the human world for too long, and I subconsciously used human etiquette. I’ll correct it immediately.”

Myers said a little uneasily.

“Relax a little, take your time.”

Alice said gently.

After hearing Alice’s words, Myers calmed down a little.

He took a few deep breaths again, then his expression became serious. He placed his right hand on his chest, drew a tree symbol, crossed his hands, and performed an elf etiquette again:

“Myers Frost, I greet Lord Zero, the Blessed One of God, and Lady Alice, the Saint.”

“The symbol of the Goddess of Life is not the World Tree, but the Scepter of Life.”

Selina reminded him seriously.

Myers froze again.

Alice was happy:

“Don’t be nervous, some things are good to know. But now that you know, don’t leave the Elf Forest again, this is for the sake of the Mother Goddess and for ourselves.”

Mels nodded in agreement and said with emotion:

“The Elf Forest now… has become a paradise. I think any member of the tribe who returns will not want to leave again.”

Alice agreed with it, and Eve was also a little moved after hearing it.

This male elf was the first elf she saw in Selena’s team who questioned the “Goddess of Life” and was also the elf who was the least devout in the belief of the Goddess of Life…

However, now it seems that his faith has changed greatly, and it is no less than that of senior devout believers.

And this change may only happen in a few breaths, or it may be just the moment when the other party knows that the Goddess of Life is the World Tree…

This made Eve sigh that the elves are indeed sincere.

The two sides got familiar with each other for a few words, and then went straight to the point.

“Mels, Selena said that you are familiar with orcs?”

Alice asked.

“I know a little bit. I have lived in the border between the Death Desert and the Kingdom of Iris for more than a hundred years, so I often deal with orcs.”

Myers replied.

As he spoke, his expression became serious:

“Lady Alice, Lord Zero, I know that there was a great war between our elves and the orcs last year, and the 30,000 orcs were annihilated, but… this is far from a serious blow to the orcs.”

After hearing his words, Eve’s heart moved:

“What’s the reason?”

“This is related to the social structure of the orcs.”

Myers said.

Then he began to explain in detail:

“Orcs are different from humans, and also different from us elves. Although they have a common king and a common belief, they are not actually a country in the full sense, but more like an alliance of various orc tribes.”

“Their king is their leader.”

“Each king will select warriors from each tribe to form an army. This is the team that the orcs use to fight externally.”

“The orc army that our elves defeated before was such an army.”

After hearing his words, Alice nodded:

“I know some of this news, but… if an army of 30,000 is wiped out, can the orcs still organize a new army?”

“Yes, although it will be a bit troublesome.”

Mels nodded.

“I know that in mainstream records, the population of orcs in the Death Desert is only a few hundred thousand, but… this is data from decades ago.”

“Orcs are aggressive. In the past, wars often broke out between orc tribes. Every year, many orcs died in internal fighting, so… their population has never been raised.”

“However, the previous king of the orcs, King Lionheart Yimsh, was a very talented person. He truly unified the Death Desert and became a true king.”

“Under his development, the number of orcs in the Death Desert is actually not what the outside world knows, and the age structure has also changed. Many of them are young and strong. This can be seen from the amount of food and iron smuggled between the Kingdom of Aris and the Death Desert…” “

Now, even if the population of orcs has not exceeded one million, it is not far away, and this is very scary for a race where everyone is a soldier, because it means that they can reorganize an army of 30,000 again and again!”

Mels said seriously.

So… this is the nomadic life in another world?

Eve looked a little strange.

Alice frowned slightly and asked back:

“But, the Lionheart King Yimsh has died in the battle, and the Orc tribes should be in chaos again now, right?”

Myers was slightly startled, and was about to answer, but Eve’s heart moved and she spoke softly:

“Is it the true God?”

After hearing her words, Myers was stunned at first, and then nodded:

“Yes, Lord Zero, it is the true God! It is the true God who intervened! His Majesty, the God of Winter and Hunting, issued an oracle, selected a new king for the Orcs, and maintained the unity of the Death Desert.”

“The true God intervened…”

Alice’s expression also became serious.

She didn’t even think of this problem!

After all, the belief that Uller, the God of Winter and Hunting, has always adhered to is the survival of the fittest.

He has always encouraged competition among believers, and a large part of the reason for the fighting between the Orc tribes is also due to him…

However, now he has changed his belief and directly intervened in the internal competition of believers?

“It seems that they are really going to make a big move.”

Alice murmured.

“That’s right, and not only that… In recent times, the magic power of the entire Segos world has been increasing, and the strength of various intelligent races has increased to varying degrees, and the same is true for orcs…”

“Although the black iron bloodline has limited the talents of most of them, a large number of beings similar to the God’s Favor have been born in the Death Desert in recent times. They are all very powerful, most of them are above the black iron level, and many have even reached the silver level.”

Mels continued.

The bloodline of intelligent creatures in the Segos world has levels.

Generally speaking, the average strength that a race can achieve is determined as the race level.

Orcs are the black iron race, which means that the average strength of orcs is actually the black iron level.

However, although the average strength is the black iron level, more powerful beings will be born, and sometimes the strength of a race cannot be seen only by the level, but also by the base number.

Just like humans, the average strength of humans is not even that of professionals, not even the black iron race, but no intelligent race will look down on humans.

Because the base number is large, strong people will always be born.

However, Uller even started to intervene in the strength of the believers, which really surprised Eve.   It is not impossible

to forcibly improve the strength of believers through divine favors, but generally speaking, no true god would do so.   Especially when crossing boundaries, it consumes too much divine power. Not only   that, if two true gods are engaged in a war of faith, one true god will inevitably lead the other true god to follow suit by using divine favors on a large scale.   In the end, the war of faith will completely evolve into a competition of divine power between true gods, and even the winner will win a miserable victory…   So, generally speaking, no true god will do this.   And Uller did this, which only meant one thing, He was anxious.   Not only that, His mentality also changed.   He should have decided to eliminate the threat of the Elf Forest at any cost.   To be honest, Eve understood Him quite well.   After all… suddenly there appeared such a true god who protected the elves, grew very fast, had a big brother, and was ruthless to the orcs… If she was Uller, she would also be panicked.   Especially when magic power starts to recover, it will be easier to advance.   Before, when magic power was low, the gap between orcs and other races was not that big, but once magic power recovers, the racial shackles of elves will also be released, and they will inevitably advance faster. The gap between orcs and elves will only get bigger and bigger…   For now, the elves in the Elf Forest have relied on meditation and exercise to restore their average strength to the upper level of Black Iron, which can be regarded as barely keeping up with the pace of players.   This is not to say that the elves are gifted.   This is because their race’s own strength should be silver, so they can recover so quickly, instead of simply unconditionally eating experience to advance quickly like players…   In other words, perhaps with the increase of magic power, most elves’ strength will stop after quickly recovering to silver, but with the physical talents and potential of players, as long as Eve is willing to release the restrictions, it is not impossible for them to rush to Legend by killing monsters and eating vitality…   But… In that case, Eve will probably feel sorry for the death of their divine power when she resurrects them.   Back to the present.   When Mels finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire temple was a little depressing.   Alice frowned, and Selina also looked serious.   Even Eve looked solemn.   However, the reason for her solemnity was not the orcs.   In her opinion, even if Uller jumped again, with the current strength of the players, it would be enough to fight.   Assuming there are one million orcs, one player can kill fifteen or sixteen of them, right?   Not to mention, her divine power has long surpassed the opponent, so even if she fights with divine power, she is not at all weak…   However, she does not want to waste too much divine power on Uller.   At the same time, she is not only worried about Uller.   What she is really worried about is actually the Soran Chamber of Commerce.

Myers and Selina may not know, but Eve knows that the person behind the Soran Chamber of Commerce is none other than Holder, the God of Darkness and Shadows.

And since the war in the underground world, Eve has officially stood on Hela’s side and successfully made enemies with her.

She absolutely does not believe that Holder is behind the actions of the orcs.

Tomorrow is a chapter, and this volume will end and a new volume will start.

Even if it ends tomorrow, it will be stuck at Chapter 479 and not enough for Chapter 480. My obsessive-compulsive disorder is a bit uncomfortable…_(:з」∠)_
