Game of the World Tree - Chapter 635
635. Chapter 632: Enfeoffment System (5000 words)
The dark brown dirt road was trampled tightly. Looking ahead, the road was winding and split the endless forest in half.
The trees on both sides were lush and green, but if you look closely, you will find that as the distance increases, the colors of the trees and bushes will gradually change to golden and orange, just like the transition of seasons.
On the road, a simple open carriage was driving fast, and seven fully armed elves were sitting in the carriage.
It was Xu Ge and the Facing the Wind Bar.
No, he can’t be called Xu Ge now.
He should be called Ye Ye.
After eating and drinking, and with all the people present, they have officially set off and left the Chosen City. Now they are walking on the main road opened up by the players outside the Chosen City.
Ye Ye sat on one side of the carriage, listening to the melodious tunes in the background music, looking at the forest scenery outside the car that was constantly receding, and said excitedly:
“Brother Jifeng, I thought we had to walk, but I didn’t expect you guys had a carriage?! It’s so fast!”
“Hey, we’re just hired. It’s not that easy to keep a carriage in the Elf Kingdom, especially this kind of dragon scale horse. It’s a mutated monster that drank the blood of a black dragon, and it’s very troublesome to feed it. It’s only available at the post station of the Mengmeng Committee!”
explained Jifeng, who was sitting next to Ye Ye.
“Warcraft?”
Yeye was amazed. He looked at the dragon-scale horse with envy, and asked curiously:
“Brother Jifeng, don’t you have Warcraft?”
Facing Jifeng, he smiled:
“How is it possible? Which old-timer in “Elf Kingdom” doesn’t have Warcraft? In fact, several of us have Warcraft mounts, but it’s not convenient in the ruins, and if the Warcraft dies in battle, it can’t be resurrected. So for safety reasons, we didn’t bring them with us, but left them in Atlantis.”
“Atlantis?”
“It’s the main city of All-Star.”
The carriage was driving fast, and the two were talking constantly.
On the other side of the carriage, Zhao Linqian, who named the game ID “Nana”, was also surrounded by the other two female players in the team, chatting happily.
As for the other two male players, one was driving in front, and the other closed his eyes and rested on the other side of Yeye.
Facing the wind, he glanced at the girls on the other side of the carriage, and then leaned close to Yeye’s ear, patting his back and saying enviously:
“Tsk tsk… Coconut, I didn’t realize it! Bringing your girlfriend into the game, that’s awesome!”
“Ahem…”
Yeye, who had just taken out the water bottle he was carrying to drink water, choked and blushed, and quickly explained stammeringly:
“No, no… I’ve said it several times, we just know each other in real life, how can we be girlfriends…”
“We’re already lovers, aren’t we?”
“Ahem, we just want to play a prank on each other…”
“Hiss, why do I feel like you’re actually showing off your affection in a fancy way?”
“Brother Wind!”
“Hahahaha!”
The elf warrior laughed while teasing the newcomer, and Yeye’s face had already flushed.
The voices of the two attracted strange looks from the female players on the opposite side, but fortunately, their voices were relatively low when they were discussing, so the people on the opposite side didn’t hear clearly.
The carriage continued to move, and the hunter player driving in front suddenly said:
“Be careful, we’re going out of bounds.”
Out of bounds?
Yeye was slightly stunned.
He looked forward and saw a stone pillar standing up about a hundred meters ahead. The stone pillar was carved with exquisite patterns, which were very similar to the decorative patterns on the Temple of Life he saw. The stone pillar was used
as a boundary, and the forest in the distance formed a sharp contrast with the nearby forest. Many of the trees in those forests had lost most of their leaves, a bleak scene.
“Coconut, here, put on this.”
Just as Yeye was looking at the forest in front of him strangely, the shooter player next to him handed over a thick coat.
The coat seemed to be made of some kind of animal fur and was very warm.
At the same time, Nana, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, also received a similar piece of clothing.
“Wear clothes?”
Yeye was stunned.
“Hey, if you are not afraid of the cold, you don’t have to wear it. Anyway, we are all Black Iron level, with high cold resistance, so we are not afraid.”
The other half of the elf warriors laughed.
Afraid of the cold?
Feeling the relatively good temperature around, Yeye was a little strange.
At this moment, the whole carriage shook slightly…
For a moment, Yeye felt as if he had passed through an invisible film, and the cold air instantly poured in from all sides, making him shiver from head to toe.
“A-choo!”
He sneezed together with Nana, who was sitting opposite him.
The two sniffed, looked at each other, and then quickly took the coat and put it on, causing a burst of laughter from the other players.
“What’s going on?”
After putting on the coat, Yeye felt a lot warmer. He frowned and looked around.
When his eyes were cast on the road behind him, his eyes widened instantly.
The scenery of the place he had passed before had completely changed.
The originally lush forest disappeared, replaced by a withered and bleak forest.
In the distance, the world tree that Ben Ben saw, which was tall and lush, had also changed its appearance. It was a giant dead tree that was also extremely tall, but actually shrunk a lot, with no leaves, and was shriveled and decayed…
“What… is going on?!”
The two newbies were confused.
“Don’t get excited, we just left the barrier.”
“In the setting of “Elf Kingdom”, the revival of the goddess Eve is secret and cannot be known by other forces, especially the true gods, so the goddess transferred her body and the Chosen City to a different space.”
“We are used to calling this different space the resurrection point barrier, um… this is because every time we die and resurrect, we appear in it.”
“Only us players and elf believers can enter the barrier, while other NPCs, even monsters, cannot enter and exit at will.”
“Because of the goddess’s true body, the temperature difference in the enchantment is not big throughout the year, but it’s different outside the enchantment. Now that the Segus continent has just entered winter, it’s still quite cold.”
“By the way, the withered world tree you see now is actually fake, just a disguise.”
The female mage player on the carriage explained.
“So that’s how it is!”
Ye Ye suddenly realized.
He looked at the forest behind him, which was obviously a winter scene, and was amazed:
“Interesting…”
At this time, Facing the Wind seemed to remember something and said to the two new players:
“By the way, Coconut, and Nana, I’ll share with you the map of the core area of the Elf Forest and the surrounding ruins. Please accept it.”
Ye Ye: …
“Hey, why are you calling her Nana, call me Coconut!”
He complained.
“Are you asking me to call her Nai Zi?”
Facing the Wind also complained.
Ye Ye: …
Nana: …
“Boring.”
The girl rolled her eyes.
Then, she took another look at the small map in the upper right corner of her vision and asked in confusion:
“As for maps, we seem to have them?”
The elf warrior smiled and said:
“That is the system’s own map, which only records the official coordinates, but we players actually have more detailed maps. Hehe, this is also an extra gift for you as a novice. The map we recorded is universal for all stars and very detailed.”
“The core area is actually within the barrier. However, I can only share so much with you. Self-made system maps are very expensive in “Elf Kingdom”, especially for places that are far away. The farther, the more complete, and the more expensive!”
Facing the wind, he said while sending a sharing request to the two.
Looking at the prompt box that appeared in the field of vision, Yeye and Nana looked at each other and chose to accept.
After they chose to agree, the small map in the upper right corner suddenly flashed with light, and various densely packed signs and logos of different shapes appeared on it.
Of course, it is limited to the core area of the Elf Forest and the surroundings of the ruins.
“What are all these extra things?”
Ye Ye asked curiously.
“There are many, there are teahouses, inns, post stations, some villages opened up by NPCs and players or by players alone, and even some small bases built by guilds themselves.”
Facing the Gale Bar, he said.
After he finished speaking, he took out his flagon and took a sip of beer to moisten his throat, then continued to educate the two:
“These are all small locations, and many of them were created by the players themselves. There are more and more players now, but the map of the Elf Forest is very large, so… in addition to the seven main cities, many people have also begun to establish bases in other areas.”
“Especially some small guilds. They don’t have the strength of large guilds and cannot obtain the qualifications to build a city, so they simply find places in the Elf Forest to build simple settlements.”
“In addition, there are also some guilds or players on both sides of the roads in the forest who have built some independent service buildings, such as post stations, inns, taverns and the like. This is partly because there is a demand from players in the wild, and partly because the land price in the city is too expensive.”
“Of course, the above are not officially recorded buildings, so they are not shown on the system map. Only those villages built by NPCs and enshrined with statues of the goddess are marked on the map and are officially protected.”
“Fortunately, the system of Elf Kingdom allows us to change our own map settings, and it can also be shared, so players simply add these unrecorded locations to the system map, and continue to improve and update it, so there are now more and more rich and detailed private maps.”
“This is almost becoming an industry in the game.”
Facing the wind bar, he spoke with saliva flying, very happy.
The two newbies listened very seriously, with a look of amazement on their faces.
“Great! This game has too much freedom, right?!”
Nana exclaimed.
“That’s right!”
The elf warrior smiled heartily.
He burped and continued to explain proudly to the two newbies’ sparkling and curious eyes:
“However, these areas built by players themselves also have considerable risks…”
“That is, there is a probability of being attacked by Warcraft in remote areas, and because they are not officially protected, they do not have enough self-defense power in most cases. Therefore, petty thefts and the like often occur. For example, thefts that would never occur in the main city often happen in these small strongholds.”
“There was a more serious incident a few days ago. A casual player with the maximum silver level took advantage of the absence of the main force of a small guild that built a stronghold in the wild and secretly wiped out the people’s nest…”
“Because no one was killed, there was no red name, but the small guild’s assets were all taken away.”
Facing the Gale Bar, he said with a little emotion and stretched out a finger:
“It is said that… the lost things are converted into contribution points, worth more than one million!”
“More than one million? This is too miserable, right? Is there no one in care?”
Nana widened her eyes.
Facing the Swift Wind, he smiled:
“Hey, this is a game! You can think of this as the Jianghu in martial arts novels! In the Jianghu, strength is respected. If you want to go out independently when you don’t have enough strength, you must be prepared for losses.”
“Look, several large guilds also have bases in the wild, but does anyone dare to attack? No! Even the inns and taverns they opened on the roadside are not touched! Otherwise… just wait to be hunted down!”
“Interesting, really interesting.”
Listening to the elven warrior’s narration, Ye Ye felt it was very exciting.
Facing the Swift Wind, he took out the wine jug again and poured wine into his mouth.
However, after two drops, it was gone.
He frowned, put the wine jug away, and then took the wine jug from the waist of the hunter player who was driving the car, drank a sip happily, and secretly put it back, earning a roll of the eye from the other party.
The elf warrior laughed dryly, pretending he saw nothing, then cleared his throat and continued to say to the two newbies:
“So… the best way is to get official recognition!”
“Either move to the main city honestly, or find a way to get a goddess statue recognized by the church! As long as you have a goddess statue, it is equivalent to building a temple, which means it is officially protected, and the coordinates will appear on the system map.”
“Of course, it is too difficult to get a goddess statue recognized by the church. Except for some senior priest players who have made great achievements, it is almost impossible for anyone to pass the application. So… high-end priest players are quite popular in the game, especially after the church was restructured a while ago!”
“Of course, there is also a tricky way, that is to be loyal to the big guild! Don’t big guilds have main cities? As long as you are loyal to the nearest big guild and regularly hand over a portion of your income, you can get the protection of the big guild.”
“This is the mainstream practice now. Although it cannot completely eliminate the risk, it can be reduced to a very low level, because the big guilds will have their own guards, such as the Templar Knights and the Silver Hand Knights of the Guild Alliance of Azeroth, the Glory Goddess Knights of the Goddess of Long Live the Goddess, and the Iris Knights of the Heart of Nature, the Vanguard Guard of the Scourge Knights, etc….”
“Speaking of which, the relationship between various small guild bases in the wild and the big guilds is a bit like the feudal system on Blue Star. Some independent personal buildings are loyal to the nearby small guild bases, and the small guilds are vassalized by the nearby big guilds. It’s exactly the same, except for giving some titles, haha!”
Facing the wind, he is a very talkative person and speaks very happily.
And Yeye and Nana are also eagerly absorbing all kinds of common sense and knowledge of “Elf Kingdom”.
“Wonderful, really wonderful, this is really a free world!”
Nana said excitedly.
“Yes! A wonderful world of swords and magic!”
The elf warrior nodded and agreed very much.
Ye Ye also looked yearning.
Many of the things the other party said were actually rarely mentioned in various videos.
“Elf Kingdom” has too high a degree of freedom and too many things. There are many details that you simply don’t know unless you enter the game.
He listened to the story of the Wind Bar, and then carefully checked the updated small map. Soon, his eyes were attracted by a special sign.
It was a mark composed of a hoe and a pile of earth, painted in a conspicuous gold color.
“What is that golden hoe mark? Why is there no annotation?”
Ye Ye asked curiously.
“That, that is our destination, the location of the Titan ruins. My map has not been updated in the past few days, and I haven’t had time to add annotations.”
The elf warrior replied.
Yeye nodded and looked at the ruins sign again.
However, when he saw the coordinates of the ruins, he was shocked:
“More than 400 kilometers?!”
Seeing the confused expression of the boy, Facing the Wind quickly explained:
“Don’t get excited… Don’t get excited… Although that is the real location of the ruins, after the ruins were opened, several teleportation arrays leading directly there appeared in the Elf Forest, one of which is located near the Chosen City.”
“Look, it’s that little hoe, down there.”
“That should have been built by the Titans. It’s very secretive. If it weren’t for the oracle of the goddess, it would be hard to find.”
“Our goal is also there. The distance is actually getting farther and farther. If you take a carriage… It will take about an hour to get there. During this time, you can chat or connect to the system network to watch videos or something.”
Yeye:…
One hour…
That’s not close!
Although there is accelerated thinking, if converted to reality, it is also a quarter of an hour’s journey!
Even though Yeye has deeply realized the reality of time and journey in “Elf Kingdom” through various game videos, at this moment, he still couldn’t help but sigh:
This game… is too hardcore!
…
The carriage continued to move.
And the two new players also chatted with the big guys.
Unknowingly, an hour passed.
Accompanied by the neighing of a dragon-scale horse, the somewhat hoarse voice of the hunter player came from the front of the carriage:
“We are here.”
Hearing his words, the two new players hurriedly raised their heads and looked forward curiously.
The carriage came to a remote woodland. On the ground in front of it, there was a magic circle flashing with misty light. There were many players around the magic circle. From time to time, someone was seen entering it and disappeared under a piece of light.
Near the magic circle, there was a wooden post station that seemed to have been built not long ago.
“That is the post station of the Mengmeng Committee. They are the only ones in the whole server who can build it so quickly at the teleportation point.”
Facing the wind bar, he said.
After saying that, he glanced at the dozens of unicorns and tall horses tied in the stables of the post station, and laughed softly:
“Hey, it seems that the goal of the Knights Templar of Azeroth is the same as ours. I just don’t know if we will encounter them in the ruins. Tsk tsk… They parked so many mounts directly. They are really rich. The post station charges of the Mengmeng Committee are not low. It hurts to rent a carriage.”
