Game of the World Tree - Chapter 625
Chapter 625: Celebration and Barbecue
The opening ceremony of the Harvest Festival ended.
The astonishing number of Elf Chosen gathered in Florence also began to leave at an astonishing speed.
Looking at the elves leaving in a hurry, Tonglu was stunned and asked the elf girl beside him:
“Sir Xiaoxian Miao, what are they doing? Why are they so hurried?”
“Well, it’s because they got the blessing of the goddess. They want to take advantage of the blessing to brush more… ahem, improve their personal strength.”
Xiaoxian Miao replied.
“Improve personal strength?”
Tonglu raised his eyebrows.
He thought of the scenes of some Elf Chosen who were promoted after killing demons in the Sealed War…
The Elf Chosen seemed to like to train themselves through fighting.
And they often get breakthroughs in battle.
Especially those Silver-level Elf Chosen.
Of course, Tonglu didn’t know that this was because the player level in the Sealed War was limited to 40.
Players with the maximum Black Iron level could not level up, and only Silver players who had not yet reached the maximum level could upgrade.
“Go and find the enemy to fight?”
Tonglu asked.
“It can be considered a way. Maybe for Mr. Tonglu, the goddess’ blessing is just to strengthen the body, but for us, in addition to accumulating experience and strengthening strength, this is also an opportunity for us to gain status and wealth.”
Xiao Xianmao continued to answer.
“Status and wealth? Do the elves also pursue these? I have the impression that you are selfless…”
Tonglu was slightly stunned and a little surprised.
Xiao Xianmao spread his hands:
“Where in this world are there really selfless guys? Besides, we are not elves in the traditional sense, but the chosen ones who serve the goddess. Except for the appearance, we are actually no different from humans.”
Xiao Xianmao’s tone was serious, but Tonglu frowned slightly after hearing her words.
The legendary dwarf warrior shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Xiao Xian Miao’s words:
“Sir Xiao Xian Miao, I don’t think so. Don’t compare yourself with those cunning and greedy humans. You are completely different from them.”
“I know that many of you elves are from the pure blood of mixed-blood humans, but you are different from those selfish and cunning humans.”
“No race is as united and disciplined as you, no race is as
fearless as you in the face of evil, and no race is as full of wonderful ideas and infinite creativity as you…”
Xiao Xian Miao: …
Looking at the copper furnace with an admiring face, she was slightly stunned.
Wait…
When did our image become so tall and majestic?
Tonglu sighed, looked at the hot air balloon floating in the sky and dropping flower petals on the ground, and continued:
“Perhaps the elves have changed a lot now, but in my opinion, they are all changing for the better.”
“Some people say that you have become bloodthirsty and cruel, but in my opinion, that is only when you face evil enemies.”
“Unprincipled kindness is not correct. I think… that is also the main reason why the elves once declined. Even I know that what elf hunters are best at is to use the kindness and goodness of the elves to hunt targets…”
“At the same time, you have not lost your kindness and friendliness. When treating friends, I think you are even better than the elves in my impression. Your sincerity touches me very much.”
After a pause, Tonglu continued:
“In my opinion, you are now reborn after suffering.”
“I don’t know if it is because of years of suffering that you have gradually lost your position in the world, but I want to say… Sir Xiaoxianmao, please be more confident. The elves are a great race, a silver race that once led the entire world.”
“You have fallen before, but now, you have stood up and are doing better.”
Xiao Xian Miao: … No,
no, no… This is just because of the limitations of the game system.
Besides, you are not a hostile NPC, so naturally everyone wants to lick you.
If you were an adventurer in the Broken Kingdom of God, believe it or not, those guys would climax directly and slap the statue of the God of Darkness on your face in a minute…
The grass on the grave of that orc legend is half a meter high.
The elf girl had a weird expression and complained in her heart.
However, she did not say these thoughts out loud.
There would be no response if she said them out loud.
In the past, certain keywords, such as the world tree, would be naturally blocked.
But after the game version was updated to the present, this aspect has become more intelligent.
Many players have tried it. If you talk to NPCs who are not elves, when it comes to the player’s origin or the game system, the message conveyed by the player seems to change to other meanings…
For example, “I come from another world” will be automatically corrected to “I come from another plane”; “I am actually a human” will become “I used to be a mixed-blood human”…
For this, the official of “Elf Kingdom” has never given any reason, but some senior game bosses have put forward their own ideas based on the plot advancement method of “Elf Kingdom”:
This should be because the NPCs in the game do not have a fixed program, but after setting up intelligent AI, let the plot develop randomly.
In this case, some interference that can easily affect the advancement of the plot naturally needs to be eliminated or corrected.
In other words, this is the official way of “Elf Kingdom” to control the direction of the entire plot to prevent the plot from going out of control under the spoof of some weird players…
And combined with the appearance of the Orros demiplane, it is very likely that in the official setting, the player is also an elf with purified blood.
This is what the bosses guessed.
Of course, Elfland has been running for a year, and the world of Segas it presents is becoming more and more huge and real. There have always been comments like “Is this actually a real world?” and “Is this a game made by aliens?”
But at the same time, more players believe that this idea actually affirms the achievements of Elfland from another perspective.
The official purpose of the game from the beginning was to create a real world. The fact that people can have such an idea shows that they have succeeded.
This is a masterpiece that transcends the times. The slogan is not just a boast.
Xiao Xian Miao is already powerless to complain about the high-end image of the Chosen Elf that Tonglu imagined.
But it happens to be a good thing.
She is still coveting the market and raw materials of the Dwarf Kingdom!
Well, there is also the superb forging technology of the Dwarves!
At this point, Xiao Xian Miao smiled sweetly and said:
“By the way, Mr. Tonglu, do you have any idea to cooperate with our Mengmeng Committee to establish a stable trade caravan?”
“Caravan? Of course.”
Tonglu said with a smile.
He has been completely convinced by the various specialties of the elves.
Apart from anything else, the “Erguotou” alone is worth the Dwarf Kingdom sending a caravan.
“Let’s talk while walking, the parade is about to start.”
Xiao Xian Miao stood up from his seat and stretched.
Tonglu also nodded, drank the soju in the glass, and then stood up.
The elf girl talked with the dwarf warrior and left the square.
As they walked, they talked about future business cooperation.
The opening ceremony of the celebration was over.
Next, there was a grand parade.
Although a large number of elf Chosen left Florence, the elves and players who stayed behind still made the whole city look particularly prosperous and lively.
Tonglu chatted with the elf girl while enjoying the elf celebration.
These handsome and beautiful residents sang and danced, singing in the melodious elf music.
Every elf had a happy smile on his face, and every elf Chosen who joined the game was also excited.
People in the exquisite white pavilions on both sides of the street kept throwing petals on the road, and cute and charming young elves ran around on the stone road, giggling and handing fruits and snacks to passers-by.
Magic performances, acrobatic performances, dancing and singing, cheers and laughter… and a long parade.
The parade was led by priests, and the elves in traditional long gowns were the main force. Surrounded by the Chosen Ones, they played cheerful elven music, danced charming sacrificial dances, and carried the statue of Eve, the goddess of life, and marched along the long street.
Colorful magic fireworks bloomed in the sky. Although it was not as spectacular as the opening ceremony, it made the atmosphere of the festival even more enthusiastic.
This atmosphere seemed to have a different kind of appeal. Even Tonglu couldn’t help but smile and feel happy.
He walked, chatted, accepted the gifts from the elf residents, and thanked them.
After a while… Tonglu’s arms were full of various fruits and snacks in baskets.
While putting the gifts into the storage ring, Tonglu smiled bitterly:
“This… is too enthusiastic.”
“After all, it’s the Harvest Festival! Mr. Tonglu, you are a guest from afar, and the hospitality of the elves is not nonsense.”
Xiao Xianmao replied with a smile.
She also received an exaggerated number of gifts from the elves, even more than Tonglu.
Some older elves would come up to her from time to time to express their gratitude to her, which made Tonglu marvel:
“The residents here seem to respect you very much.”
Xiao Xianmao’s eyes softened.
She once again put the gift from an elf into the storage ring and said:
“Not only me, almost all the elves are respected by the elves…”
“Of course, because our guild once presided over the main renovation work of Florence, most of the elves here know me.”
Tonglu nodded and continued to chat with the elf girl while walking.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but look around the city.
Although he also walked around Florence yesterday, before the celebration and during the celebration are different after all.
Today’s lively atmosphere is far from yesterday, and all kinds of wonderful performances are dazzling.
In addition, the blessing of the goddess of life has completely changed the environment of Florence. In the autumn, there is a vibrant vitality.
As the celebration progresses, the number of elves in the city is increasing.
Tonglu even saw many elves who have returned.
“Haha, it seems that the celebration is really popular. Many people are back again.”
He laughed.
Xiaoxian Miao glanced at the chat channel with a strange expression.
“No, they found that the elf NPC was giving gifts for free.”
She muttered in a low voice.
“What?”
“Nothing…”
…
Xiao Xian Miao and Tong Lu continued walking on the street, chatting about cooperation plans, the customs and practices of the elves, and various stories on the continent.
They enjoyed the festival celebrations while communicating.
Unknowingly, it was dusk.
The parade was over.
However, the excitement of Florence has just begun.
The celebration at night is even more exciting…
On the gradually dimming sky, the magic fireworks are more gorgeous, and as night falls, the whole city is lit up.
The shadowy lights set off the beautiful elf city like a dream, like a city that never sleeps wandering in the light. The
Florence Square, where the seats were removed, once again gathered people of all kinds, and the bonfire party began.
As a VIP, Tong Lu was also invited to the bonfire party.
Most of the participants in the party seemed to be the Elf Chosen, which could be distinguished from the participants’ attire. They were more enthusiastic than the Elf residents during the day, especially when it came to treating foreign guests…
Fire and dance, music and laughter, the bonfire banquet at night was equally interesting.
As for the food at the bonfire party, it once again exceeded Tonglu’s imagination. He saw more wonderful delicacies, which were extremely delicious.
Especially the barbecue.
The ingredients for the barbecue were extremely rich, but most of them were vegetarian.
At least on the surface.
However, under the leadership of Xiao Xianmao, Tonglu successfully mixed into the small circle of the Elf Chosen and enjoyed the essence of barbecue –
barbecue!
This is what Xiao Xianmao said.
There were all kinds of barbecue, mostly the meat of monsters from the Elf Forest, and also sheep and cattle raised by the Elf Chosen.
It sounds strange that the elves would raise livestock, but after communicating with the Chosen, Tonglu was surprised to find that they had quite a lot of experience in raising livestock…
Tonglu used to be an adventurer, and for adventurers who walked in the wild all year round, they were not unfamiliar with barbecue.
However, the superb skills of the Elf Chosen were beyond Tonglu’s imagination.
The spices they used for grilling were mysterious and delicious. The grilled meat skewers were burnt and shiny, slightly spicy with a fresh fragrance, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat and unique flavor…
Tonglu especially liked the lamb skewers grilled by a pair of Chosen brothers.
According to them, they chose lambs that were specially fed with magical Manyia wheat, and selected fat and lean parts, so that when they took the first bite, they would be hot, fragrant, and sizzling with oil.
At the same time, the seasonings marinated before grilling were also specially made, not only with honey, but also with some unique spices produced by the Elf Forest, which could remove the smell of mutton while ensuring the deliciousness of the lamb.
Then the meat pieces were skewered with branches of the magical fragrant wood of the Elf Forest, with fat and lean parts, to achieve the best taste.
According to the two Elf Chosen, they were experts in barbecue before they became elves.
In Tonglu’s opinion, their superb skills in grilling were already art.
Biting down the hot skewers, the mouth is full of oil, the fragrant and soft fat melts in the mouth, and the lean meat with tendons is tender, fresh, fragrant, and chewy…
If it is coated with spicy sauce and strong soju, it will be even better.
Tonglu ate the skewers with big mouthfuls while drinking the wine sent by the Chosen Ones.
He was so happy. At this moment, he didn’t want to go back.
“Barbecue and wine! It’s simply the romance of dwarves!”
He exclaimed.
Clinking glasses with the male Chosen Ones sitting around the campfire, Tonglu listened to the music they played and enjoyed the delicious food.
Until… a few panicked Chosen Ones ran over:
“Put it up quickly! Put it up quickly! The Elf Priest NPC is coming!”
In Tonglu’s strange sight, the Chosen Ones who were just laughing and joking changed their expressions, and hurriedly cleaned up the barbecue scene… mainly hiding the barbecue, and then replacing it with all vegetarian ingredients.
Even the half-eaten skewer of meat in Tonglu’s hand was snatched away by Xiaoxianmiao.
Tonglu: …
The elven Chosen Ones hastily covered up the “crime” scene, and several elven priests in white shirts also came to the crowd.
Leading the way was the high priest of Florence, Samir Gale.
He moved his nose and sniffed, with a strange expression.
After glaring at a few Chosen Ones with embarrassed expressions, he retracted his gaze and looked at Tonglu.
Then, he asked enthusiastically:
“Lord Tonglu, how was the celebration in Florence?”
“Very good!”
Tonglu praised.
Samir smiled:
“As long as you like it.”
Then, he said apologetically:
“I’m sorry that I have waited until now to come to you. The church is too busy today.”
“Lady Alice has read your documents. Are you interested in going to the temple to discuss the contents now?”
“Of course, it’s getting late today. If you’re tired, we can do it tomorrow.”
After hearing the words of the Elf Priest, Tonglu was refreshed.
He laughed and waved his hand:
“No, I’m not tired. I’m a legend.”
Then, he became serious:
“Please lead the way. I’m ready…”
…
In the Temple of Life in Florence.
Alice, wearing a saint’s dress, knocked on the wooden door of the core office.
“Lord Ling, His Excellency Tonglu, the Sky Knight of the Dwarf Kingdom, has arrived at the temple. His Excellency Li Mu, the representative of the Chosen One, His Excellency Thranduil, the leader of the Original Elves, and His Excellency Taylor, the representative of the Orros Elves, are all waiting in the hall.”
She said respectfully.
There was silence for a moment, and then a cold voice came from the door:
“I know.”
Then, the wooden door opened gently.
The God-favored Zero, wearing a black skirt and armor, walked out.
She wiped the corners of her mouth calmly and said:
“Let’s go together.”
Then, she took the lead and walked towards the main hall of the temple.
Alice nodded and prepared to follow.
However, at the moment when she closed the office door, she moved her nose and sniffed.
“Why do I feel like there is a smell of barbecue…”
She said to herself in surprise.
Shaking her head, the Elf Saint turned around and followed the pace of Zero, the God’s Favored One.
