Game of the World Tree - Chapter 598

598. Chapter 596: What I Saw in the Copper Furnace

“Elves, are you followers of the God of Life and Nature, Eve? Are there any priests of the Church of Life in the Sandstorm City ahead?”

The bearded dwarf Tonglu asked in a gruff voice.

A priest of God is naturally a priest who has the favor of God and can communicate directly with the gods.

As an envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom, Tonglu’s mission is to visit the high-level officials of the Church of Life in the area controlled by the elves.

Although the Pope has said that there are priests of the Church of Life in the Sandstorm City, as a senior warrior with a rough mind, since he saw an elf in the desert, Tonglu still intends to confirm it.

After hearing what Tonglu said, the two players were stunned for a moment, and then nodded like chicks pecking at rice:

“That’s right! We are the believers of the goddess Eve!”

“Super devout!”

Then, they put on a warm smile:

“This dwarf, there are indeed the goddess’s favored ones in Sandstorm City. What can I do for you?”

“We are very familiar with the church’s favored ones! If you have any problems, we may be able to help!”

Looking at the two extremely enthusiastic elves, Tonglu felt a little emotional.

Although he had heard a lot of rumors about elves when he was in the Dwarf Kingdom, such as the faction shift, it seems that they are still as enthusiastic and kind as ever!

It seems that rumors cannot be trusted.

Of course, Tonglu naturally didn’t know that this was because of the Dark Dwarves’ trade with the players. Over time, the players have a good impression of the dwarves in “Elf Kingdom”.

In addition, he is powerful and obviously seems to have something to do, which makes the two players suspect that he is an NPC of a hidden task, so the players are naturally enthusiastic.

Of course, if Tonglu was not a dwarf, but a human or an orc… maybe he would be greeted by a different scene.

Looking at the enthusiastic elves, Tonglu’s expression also softened. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

“I am Tonglu, the envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom. I have an important matter to attend to and need to visit the high-level God-favored Ones of the Church of Life.” As

soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two players brightened.

At the same time, a thought came to their minds:

hidden mission!

This is definitely a hidden mission!

“Then, Lord Dwarf, you can go with us. Our goal is also Sandstorm City! It’s another hundred kilometers away! It only takes half a day!”

“That’s right, the caravan we are escorting also has the current Lord of Sandstorm City, who is also the God-favored One of the Goddess, and the goods that Lord Thranduil wants!”

God-favored One Thranduil…

Tonglu silently remembered this name.

However, he looked at the long caravan and shook his head:

“Thank you for your kindness, but my time is tight, so I’ll go first.”

His griffin flew very fast.

A hundred kilometers would take half a day for the caravan to walk, but his griffin only needed more than ten minutes.

And half a day is enough to do a lot of things.

Seeing the anxious look of Tonglu, the two players were not disappointed, but their eyes became brighter.

“Brother Arthur, this NPC is so anxious, it must be an important task!”

“I think so too, let’s quickly notify the guild, tell the president about this, and quickly send people to guard the gate of Sandstorm City!”

The two exchanged some ideas in the chat channel, and then said to Tonglu:

“Then there is no other way, but… we have many friends in Sandstorm City. If you have any questions, Master Tonglu, just find the ‘Moe Meng Committee’ guild!”

Both players are members of the Moe Meng Committee.

In fact, because the main city of the Moe Meng Committee is located in the Dark Mountains and is also close to the Death Desert, most of the players active in the Death Desert are members of the Moe Meng Committee.

After listening to the two elves, the dwarf Tonglu secretly remembered the somewhat strange name of “Moe Meng Committee”.

“Guild? It should be… some kind of elf organization? Maybe mercenaries?”

he thought.

The two players were dressed like mercenaries, so Tonglu naturally thought so.

After asking for a pot of water from the caravan and drinking it to quench his thirst, Tonglu rode on the griffin again and flew to the direction of Sandstorm City.

The two players also quickly mentioned their guild leader in their guild chat channel:

“Sister Meow! Sister Meow! My brother Arthur and I seem to have encountered a hidden plot!”

…

Tonglu was very fast.

After the golden griffin flew for more than ten minutes, the majestic Sandstorm City came into view.

As a legendary warrior, Tonglu had also been to Sandstorm City once decades ago. At that time, this place, also known as the City of Chaos, left a deep impression on him.

This is a city where power and money are supreme.

Although it is a city of orcs, it also has intelligent races from all over the world of Segus, many of whom are defectors or wanted criminals of various races.

Here, as long as you have gold pounds and strength, you can live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

“Sandstorm City… I wonder what it will look like after the elves take control.”

Tonglu thought curiously.

To be honest, he really couldn’t imagine how those kind and simple long-eared people would manage this city.

The golden griffin circled and stopped at the gate of Sandstorm City.

Tonglu jumped down with skillful movements.

The gate of Sandstorm City did not change much from what he remembered, except for some traces of magic, which seemed to be left by the battle.

Tonglu also noticed that there were fewer people entering and leaving the city gate than in his memory, and it was obviously much quieter.

Moreover, those who entered and left the city gate were not orcs anymore, but mostly elves and some intelligent races from underground.

Among them, most of the elves were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and most of them were in combat uniforms, armor or robes, which was very different from what Tonglu knew.

The elves he saw in his impression, except for those who were captured as slaves, were mostly dressed in elegant elf robes.

“It seems that the atmosphere of the elves has changed. They seem to have become more martial. No wonder they can defeat the orcs.”

Tonglu thought in his heart.

In the world of Segos, strength is the foundation.

This is the creed that Tonglu has always believed in.

The subtle changes in the elves made him have some guesses about the help that the Pope mentioned.

With this thought, Tonglu planned to release the griffin to the nearby area to find food, while he went into the Sandstorm City to visit the Goddess of Life’s favored one.

However, his golden griffin, which was always brave and loved to forage freely, was unwilling to leave him. Instead, it curled up and trembled in place as if it had sensed some natural enemy.

Huh?

Tonglu was stunned.

Just when Tonglu didn’t understand, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.

Tonglu raised his head and saw a majestic black dragon flying over from the horizon.

“Black dragon?!”

Tonglu’s expression suddenly became serious.

He didn’t expect to see the most tyrannical dragon among the colored dragons in the desert.

And judging from the aura… it’s very strong!

Even if it’s not a legend, it should be the peak of the upper gold position. Considering the fighting power of the dragon, he is not sure he can defeat it.

“Black dragon… is it going to attack Sandstorm City?”

Tonglu thought with a serious expression.

A black dragon appeared in the sky above a city, and this was the only thing that could be associated with it.

And just as Tonglu was staring at the black dragon, the black dragon also discovered him.

To be more precise, it was the griffin beside him.

“Hmm? Griffin?”

Tonglu heard a still childish voice in the sky.

This voice was much younger than he thought…

a young dragon?

Is there a young dragon of this size among the black dragons? !

Hearing the voice of the black dragon, Tonglu looked surprised.

“Huh? There is also… a dwarf? A legend?”

After the griffin, the black dragon finally discovered the existence of Tonglu.

The main reason was that he was too small. If it weren’t for the powerful aura of a legendary warrior, he might have been missed.

Then, under Tonglu’s vigilant eyes, the hovering black dragon landed and landed in front of him.

Its ferocious visor trembled slightly, releasing a powerful dragon’s might, and asked in a serious voice:

“Dwarf, you are a legend, right? A legend… what are you doing in Sandstorm City?”

Hmm?

Not attacking the city?

And why does it sound more like Sandstorm City’s side?

Tonglu was a little surprised.

“Miriel! Don’t scare me! This is a dwarven envoy who came to visit Thranduil!”

Just when Tonglu was surprised, a clear female voice came over.

Then, Tonglu saw that the black dragon instantly put away its dragon power and showed a scary smile:

“Really? Is it a messenger? I thought it was an enemy…”

Huh?

Is this a black dragon with a contract partner?

Tonglu was even more surprised.

Black dragons are very arrogant. The only thing that can make a black dragon obedient is probably the contract partner.

As the most tyrannical existence among the color dragons, there are probably not many intelligent creatures that can contract with black dragons in the entire Segos world.

Who on earth is this person who can have a giant dragon with a strength close to that of a legend as a contract partner?

And… he also knows his identity! Could it be

that Her Majesty the Goddess of Life has already known about his arrival?

With curiosity, Tonglu looked in the direction of the voice.

However, when He saw the source of the voice clearly, his expression was full of surprise again.

“Elf?”

It was a female elf.

Her strength was very low, lower silver, and she was wearing a magic robe that shone with a faint halo.

And if Tonglu saw it right, her robe and the staff in her hand with a gem as big as a head were probably artifacts…

This must be a high-level member of the Elf Church!

It’s just that her strength is a little low…

Tonglu thought in his heart.

And just as Tonglu was looking at the female elf, she turned around and smiled at him:

“You are the envoy of the dwarfs, Lord Tonglu, right? I am Xiao Xianmiao, the guild leader of the elf group “Moe Meng Committee.”

After that, she pointed at the black dragon:

“This guy is Myriel, the guardian appointed by the goddess of Sandstorm City.”

Listening to the elf’s introduction, the black dragon proudly straightened his chest with a proud face.

And Tonglu was a little surprised.

This black dragon is actually the guardian appointed by the goddess of life?

A strange black dragon who converted to the goddess of life? !

Wait…

Moe Meng Committee?

Isn’t this the group mentioned by the two elves just now?

Could it be… a group with high status in the elves?

In an instant, Tonglu’s expression became serious.

He bowed to Xiaoxianmiao and said:

“Hello, friend of the elves, I am Tonglu, the envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom. I am here to visit the Church of Life at the request of the Pope.”

Xiaoxianmiao nodded:

“I already know, Master Tonglu, please follow me.”

…

Following the elf girl who came out to greet him, Tonglu stepped onto a carriage prepared by the elves and entered the Sandstorm City.

Compared with decades ago, Sandstorm City has undergone significant changes.

The biggest change is that there are many more greens in the streets and alleys, which are planted street trees.

Tonglu even saw some small gardens.

It can only be said that the elves are worthy of being here. Even in the desert, they have not forgotten the way of nature.

Another big change is the public security in Sandstorm City.

What impressed Tonglu the most about Sandstorm City was the chaos in the city. Fights were commonplace, but after entering Sandstorm City this time, the whole city gave him the impression of being in good order.

He didn’t know how the elves did it…

Of course, Tonglu naturally didn’t know that those “thorns” in Sandstorm City had become players’ experience points not long after the city was conquered.

There are many elves in Sandstorm City.

On the contrary, there are very few orcs.

As he traveled along the way, Tonglu found that most elves were wearing combat equipment, either armor or robes.

They carried the evil spirit left by years of fighting, even surpassing those experienced mercenaries on the continent.

However, most of their levels were not high, ranging from upper black iron to lower silver.

Of course, this low level was only compared to Tonglu himself.

If we look at the strength of the entire race, the level of the elves is far beyond that of the dwarves.

This discovery made Tonglu sigh in his heart that the elves were worthy of being the former silver race. After having their own true god, their level was raised so quickly.

The carriage was open-topped, and the speed was neither fast nor slow.

Along the way, many elves greeted the two enthusiastically.

Especially after seeing Tonglu, many people had bright eyes and smiles on their faces. The smiles even gave Tonglu the illusion of being flattered…

This scene made him sigh in his heart:

The elves are indeed a warm and kind race…

The only thing that he found strange was probably the way these elves walked.

Perhaps, jumping and climbing are more popular among the elves now.

Tonglu looked around curiously while talking to the elf girl. While talking about a lot of things about the dwarf kingdom, he also heard a lot of news about the elf forest.

After more than ten minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a solemn temple.

————

Yesterday, the dwarf miscalculated the time of his journey. It should be two days, but it was written as five days. Now it has been corrected.

Let me tell you something. I passed the provincial examination, but there is a little difference in points and I need to catch up in the interview. Tomorrow, I will go to the provincial capital to participate in a ten-day closed interview training. There will be an interview in twenty days. The review in these twenty days is very important, so the update in mid-to-early October may be a little less.

I will try my best to maintain 4,000 words, but people’s energy is really limited. The competition pressure in the provincial examination is too great now. Those who have passed the interview and have hope are working hard. Please understand…

Whether I can write without worries in the future depends on October. _(:з」∠)_Success or

failure depends on this one move.
