Game of the World Tree - Chapter 601
601. Chapter 599 Mission Registration
“Pope, is there something wrong with the Chosen Ones?”
Tonglu asked when he saw the Pope’s slightly frowned brows.
The Pope of the Dwarf Church shook his head slightly:
“No, I just heard some legends about them, so I’m curious.”
As he spoke, he raised his head, leaning on the golden scepter symbolizing divine power with both hands, looking at the statue of the dwarves and the god of forging, Dorft, enshrined in the temple, and sighed:
“It is said that… they are a group of guys who are both evil and kind, both chaotic and orderly…”
“Evil? Kind? Order? Chaos?”
Tonglu was a little confused.
“Very contradictory.”
The Pope turned around and smiled at him.
“But this is the news our church has collected from all over the world of Segos. All the forces in the Segos world that have come into contact with the Chosen Elf often have completely different evaluations of them, and it can even be said that they are diametrically opposed…”
“There are even rumors that the magic of the identification camp is completely ineffective against them. You have no idea what they are thinking in their hearts…”
“However, there is one thing that is recognized by all the forces that have come into contact with the Chosen Elf, and that is the Legion of the Chosen. It is probably the most powerful legion in the world of Segos…”
“It is said that they are like a raging fire in the wilderness, burning everything they go to, and like an undead legion brought down by natural disasters, devouring and killing all enemies…”
“So powerful?”
Tonglu widened his eyes.
The Pope nodded:
“So… I am curious, and I am also very curious about the goddess of life they are loyal to. Of course… This is also related to the rumors about her that the high-ranking officials of the churches have heard. You are a legend, so you should have heard about it more or less.”
Tonglu raised his eyebrows, remembering what he heard from the royal family about the goddess of life being mentally ill…
Although it is taboo to talk about the true god behind his back, sometimes people are mean. The more taboo something is, the more they like to test it on the edge of danger…
Take the true god for example. No matter which intelligent race it is, they are still very curious about the gossip between these world rulers.
And the gossip about the true god is often the fastest to spread in the black market, especially those unbelievers who like to watch the fun and do not mind the trouble…
Of course, blasphemy is another story.
After the Pope finished speaking, he placed the statue of the goddess of life that Tonglu gave him on one side of the temple, bowed to it with the etiquette of the elves, and asked:
“Did the elves say when we can start summoning?”
“Yes, there are still two days.”
Tonglu replied.
“Two days?”
The pope closed his eyes, thought for a while, turned to the priest on the other side and said:
“Inform the king to collect as many magic stones as possible within two days. The more the better, especially high-quality ones.”
The priest nodded and then slowly withdrew.
“Collect magic stones?”
Tonglu was slightly startled.
“I have checked. If you want to use the statue of the goddess of life to complete the summoning, the price is magic power. The more magic power, the stronger the summoning power.”
The pope said.
After speaking, he looked serious again:
“You go and take a rest first, and then continue to the sealed place. In two days, we will officially summon the Chosen One!”
Tonglu also looked serious:
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After exiting the central temple of the kingdom, Tonglu breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky has gradually dimmed, and the capital of the dwarf kingdom, the Steel City, located in the mountains, has been coated with a layer of golden red by the sunset.
This ancient city that has existed since the Silver Civilization Era still retains those weathered buildings, rough and simple carvings and palaces covered with scars. Each of them is a heavy history.
This place was prosperous and flourishing. It was once the economic center of the southern part of the Segos continent, but now… it is just the capital of a declining country that is gradually forgotten by the world.
Looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street, Tonglu’s eyes were slightly dazed.
He is already over 130 years old this year.
Although as a dwarf legend, he still has at least 100 years to live, but among the dwarves whose average life expectancy is only about 100 years, he is already considered quite old.
In his memory, even though the dwarf kingdom has declined, the Burning Steel City a hundred years ago was still so lively. Every night, you can see the crowds celebrating on the streets. Everyone sings and dances, drinks beer, and is so happy…
Unfortunately, that is already a thing in memory.
With the loosening of the seal of the evil god Barlot, everything has changed.
More than a decade ago?
Or decades ago?
The loosening of the seal has actually been going on for quite a long time.
It’s just that the seal loosened very slowly before, and everything was like boiling a frog in warm water. In the past two years, the magic power of the Segos world has increased rapidly, and the seal that quickly collapsed is just like a pot of boiling water poured on the Dwarf Kingdom…
Those friends from their youth have long been old under the scouring of time and returned to the embrace of the true God.
Tonglu’s apprentices and descendants also died one by one in the sealed place…
But he, the old guy, lived the longest.
The disappearance of familiar people around Tonglu is a testimony to the further decline of the Dwarf Kingdom. Even in decline, the prosperous Burning Steel City has become a deserted appearance today, which is a microcosm of the rapid decline of the Dwarf Kingdom…
In order to strengthen the seal, the already declining Dwarf Kingdom has been further aggravated, and now it really can’t hold on.
Shaking his head slightly, Tonglu shook off the sad thoughts in his mind.
He did not choose to rest, but took a deep breath and walked towards the sealed place…
The sealed place is located below the southern mountains, deep in the mine dug by the dwarves.
This place used to be part of the underground world, but with the corruption of Barlot, this area was completely polluted, and the dwarves and the god of forging, Dorft, had to seal it and transform it into the Sealed Land to seal Barlot.
As the copper furnace entered the mine, the number of dwarves gradually increased. They were all warriors fighting against the demons that flowed out of the Sealed Land. Of course… most of them might have been ordinary residents of the Burning Steel City on the ground a few months ago.
If you look closely, you will find that the proportion of the elderly and children among these warriors has increased significantly, and there are also many female dwarves.
They should not have become warriors, but in order to maintain the seal, they have to pick up swords.
This is the helplessness of a declining race.
The dwarf warriors sat on both sides of the mine, some closed their eyes and rested, and some were drunk drinking beer, the atmosphere was very solemn.
They were resting.
The demons rushed out of the sealed land in waves, and there was a gap between each wave, and this gap was the dwarf warriors’ breathing opportunity.
No one spoke, no one chatted, and everyone’s face was full of numbness and fatigue.
Yes, fighting again and again, seeing friends and relatives die one after another, and the seal of the sealed land not only did not get strengthened, but was expanding and loosening step by step. Seeing this scene, no one would be excited.
Being able to maintain order without collapse under such step-by-step pressure is enough to show the tenacity of the dwarves.
But this is already the limit.
If there is no other help, Tonglu has no doubt that the evil god Barot will break the seal in a month at most…
That will be a disaster for the dwarves.
Maybe the entire race will not be destroyed, but the dwarf kingdom that has lasted for thousands of years will become history, and the dwarves will lose their last home where they can stand, and can only helplessly integrate into other races, especially the human kingdom and the underground world.
And the faith of the dwarves and the god of forging, Dorft, will probably be severely hit…
No intelligent race is willing to become a wanderer.
The same is true for the dwarves.
Even though they have the forging skills, they are welcome among almost any intelligent race.
Seeing Tonglu enter the mine, many dwarves were gradually attracted.
One after another, their eyes fell on him, and finally a glimmer of light appeared in their eyes.
“It’s Master Tonglu!”
“Master Tonglu is back!”
“Master Tonglu, they all said that you went to ask for help. May I ask how it turned out?”
Their eyes were full of respect and expectation.
As one of the few legends in the Dwarf Kingdom, and a famous “Sky Knight”, and a fighter who has fought against demons in the Sealed Land for more than ten years, Tonglu’s reputation has always been very high.
This time he was summoned by the Pope and sent to the outside world to ask for help, and many well-informed dwarves have heard about it.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the tribesmen, Tonglu’s eyes were a little complicated.
He sighed deeply, and then smiled:
“Don’t worry, under the oracle of the true God, we have found strong reinforcements, and they will arrive in two days.”
“Evil can never defeat justice, and the final victory… must be us!”
He encouraged in a high-spirited voice.
After hearing what Tonglu said, the dwarves’ eyes brightened one after another, and cheers rang out in the crowd.
“I hope… the elves won’t let us down.”
Tonglu thought to himself as he watched his excited tribesmen.
At this moment, he felt a little uneasy.
…
“Jasmine, Jasmine! Have you seen the announcement? The new version is about to be updated! The battlefield call is finally going to be activated!”
In Winterfell, a player dressed as a priest rushed into a room in the inn and said excitedly.
In the room, a red-haired female elf warrior in light silver armor carefully wiped the silver-glowing long sword in her hand and nodded to the priest player named Caesar:
“I saw it, I was just about to tell you.”
It was the Valkyrie in the top five of the overall combat power ranking of “Elf Kingdom”, Yuexia Jasmine.
Like many lucky players who have already been promoted to silver, she has already promoted her level to level 50, the peak of the current game version.
And her other half in the game, a male priest player named Caesar, has also stepped into level 40, and is both level 40 for the priest profession and the druid profession, and is just short of a silver job transfer quota.
The priest profession is the only profession in Elven Kingdom that can be part-time.
It is just worth mentioning that although the priest profession can be part-time, and although the level of the priest profession can be independent of the main job level… but adding the two together will not produce a qualitative change.
At most, the magic power is a little more than that of a single profession, and the skills are a little more.
Of course, even if it is just a little more magic power and a few more skills, it is enough to make most players crazy, especially when the level cannot be upgraded.
It’s just that the standard for priest promotion is very high, and not every player can complete it.
Take Yuexia Jasmine for example. After trying many times without success, she completely gave up the way of part-time priest.
“Have you signed up? If not, join us? Now the guild is forming a team, and everyone plans to go to Sandstorm City to sign up together.”
Caesar asked.
“Are you going to find Thranduil?”
Yuexia Jasmine asked.
“Yes, find him, and then report the “Seal of the Kingdom” mission, choose to participate, and you will be summoned directly at that time.”
Caesar said.
Yuexia Jasmine nodded:
“Wait for me, I’ll go after I finish wiping the Blade of Confession.”
The rewards for the battlefield summoning mission “The Seal of the Kingdom” in the preview are still very high.
It is said that there is also a chance to get a silver job transfer quota and an artifact repair point scroll.
Although Yuexia Jasmine has no need for the former, Caesar needs it very much, and the latter reward also makes her very interested.
She has been wandering in the Broken Kingdom every day recently. Even human adventurers know her reputation. She has also snatched a lot of damaged artifacts from those adventurers.
This silver armor on her body is, she is lucky, she snatched a piece with a low degree of damage, and it only takes about 200,000 contribution points to repair it. She repaired it early.
This silver armor is called “Wind Spirit Secret Armor”. After repairing it, Yuexia Jasmine also got its relevant information. It originally belonged to the elves. It is a secondary artifact with a gold middle level. It is said that it once belonged to a god-favored ranger.
Although it is not the best artifact among the players, it is also the kind that everyone envies.
As for why they had to rob instead of picking up things themselves… How can
picking up things be faster than robbing things?
Not to mention fighting.
The registration limit for the battlefield summon is level 40.
After Yuexia Jasmine finished dealing with other things, she quickly joined the guild team with Caesar and went to Sandstorm City to find Thranduil to sign up.
“There is only one quest NPC again… I don’t know how long the queue for this quest will end. I heard that all major guilds are now rushing to Sandstorm City.”
Looking at the quest introduction, Caesar shook his head as he stepped into the teleportation array.
The most feared thing about “Elf Kingdom” is that there is only one NPC for popular quests.
Especially now that the number of players has increased…
For quests like this that all servers will pay attention to, there is often a huge rush to sign up at the beginning, and sometimes even the quest NPC will be exhausted, which is quite funny.
But at the same time, it is also very real.
However, Moonlight Jasmine shook her head:
“Don’t worry, if it was Thranduil, it probably wouldn’t be so exaggerated… Female players should understand.”
Caesar was stunned:
“Why?”
“You’ll know when you see it, female players should understand.”
Moonlight Jasmine kept it a secret.
The teleportation array is very efficient.
The two were teleported from Winterfell to the Chosen City, from the Chosen City to the Mountain City, and then from the Mountain City to Sandstorm City.
When Caesar arrived at the registration point in Sandstorm City, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Thranduil, the original elf, was sitting comfortably on a recliner, and dozens of female players from various guilds were enthusiastically maintaining the order of registration, including some well-known bigwigs of “Elf Kingdom”…
“Don’t push, don’t push, come one by one!”
“There’s no team formation! If you want to form a team, just sign up!”
Their voices were very enthusiastic.
There were even two beautiful female players standing behind Thranduil, rubbing his shoulders with skillful hands.
Caesar: …
For the first time, he had the urge to beat up an NPC in the same camp.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat him.

Reviewing until my brain exploded…
