Game of the World Tree - Chapter 652

Chapter 649: Rebellion in Maple Leaf Territory

Territory The Chosen City, the Temple of Life.

Saint Alice looked at Li Mu, the president of the Nature’s Heart Guild, who was in a respectful posture, and frowned slightly:

“What did you say? The secret mission to explore the Titan ruins in Maple Leaf Territory failed?”

She was the person in charge of the hidden missions “appointed” by Eve. Many hidden missions completed by players were completed by her in detail, guiding and supervising.

Li Mu, a well-known high-level player and a well-known video host of “Elf Kingdom”, was naturally one of the players Eve hooked up for this exploration mission.

This is not only because of his strength, but also because he is backed by the Nature’s Heart. The Gray Port owned by the Nature’s Heart Guild is the nearest elven city to Maple Leaf Territory. Not only does it have a secret Amway Chamber of Commerce teleportation array leading to Maple Leaf City, but secular transportation is also relatively convenient.

At this moment, this well-known big man who has already reached the maximum level of the lower silver position and is wearing six divine equipment (three of which are in an unrepaired state) also frowned slightly.

He lowered his head slightly and said apologetically:

“Yes, Lady Alice, our infiltration failed.”

Alice was surprised. She looked at the map showing the distribution of the Chosen Ones in her mind with the blessing of the Goddess, and asked doubtfully:

“What happened? I remember that your guild should have a secret teleportation array leading to Maple Leaf Territory, right?”

Facing the Saint’s questioning, Li Mu smiled bitterly and said:

“We do have a secret teleportation array, but when we used it, we found that it was ineffective for some reason…”

“Invalid?”

Alice was slightly stunned.

She looked at Zero, the favored one who was sitting on the other side of the temple, drinking fairy flower tea and looking at the scenery outside the window, and asked with a little seriousness:

“Is it destroyed, or is there some other reason?”

“It shouldn’t be destroyed. It can still operate normally, but it just can’t be teleported. It’s like it’s sealed… Well, yes, it’s the same as when we attacked the Death Desert. At that time, many of the teleportation arrays we tried to build in the desert also failed like this…”

Hearing this, Saint Alice frowned even deeper. She seemed to realize something and her expression became completely serious.

“It’s time and space confinement.”

On the other side, Zero, the favored one, had a cold voice, which attracted Li Mu’s attention.

“Time and space confinement?”

He asked curiously.

“It is a power possessed by gods, which can be exerted by the true gods, or by the church through praying to the true gods, to confine the space teleportation within the scope of faith… This powerful power is often used in war.”

Alice explained to Li Mu.

After pondering for a few seconds, she looked at Li Mu again:

“Sir Li Mu, I remember… doesn’t the Amway Chamber of Commerce also have a branch in Maple Leaf City? What about the Chosen Ones on duty inside? Don’t they know the situation inside? The Chosen Ones should be able to communicate regardless of space, right?”

Li Mu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed:

“Well, Lady Alice, our guild hasn’t stationed Chosen Ones in Maple Leaf City for a long time…”

Alice:…

“Then who is maintaining the operation of your branch?”

“Uh… our Amway Chamber of Commerce’s president entrusted it to the human chamber of commerce there. Well… don’t worry, they have also been accepted into the arms of the goddess by our missionary group. Although they are only shallow believers, they are indeed supporters of the goddess.” Alice

:…

The Amway Chamber of Commerce’s missionary group is quite famous in the Forest of Elves. Its preaching record is remarkable and it is very famous in the church.

To be honest, if the name of the president of the Amway Chamber of Commerce is not mentioned, Alice still admires this group of the Chosen Ones.

“It’s a pity that ordinary believers can’t communicate remotely. The Oak Hand is not in Maple Leaf Territory now. Otherwise… I can pray to the goddess and ask for contact.”

She sighed.

If you don’t become a devout believer, unless the goddess pays special attention, you can’t even attract the attention of the gods.

And if the believers are in the belief range controlled by other true gods, the true gods can’t even communicate directly with shallow believers, even if the true gods are the active party.

“Then have you sent out a team to explore? Gray Port is located in the upper reaches of the Weimur River. If you take a boat, you should be able to reach Zeroland downstream soon, right?”

Alice asked again.

Zeroland is the second largest city in Maple Leaf Territory, located in the middle reaches of the Weimur River, on the east side of Maple Leaf City.

It was not open to players in the past. Only the merchant ships that came and went told the players that there was such a city downstream, and it was also a city that the Chamber of Commerce formed by players often traveled to.

Of course, now that the map of Maple Leaf Territory is fully open, players with the maximum level of Silver and lower ranks can go there freely.

“We sent people out at the first opportunity, but the infiltration there also failed. The entire city is under martial law, and even high-level professionals are stationed at the docks, prohibiting merchant ships without pass certificates from docking… You know, all the trade we are doing now is smuggling, so naturally there are no certificates.”

Li Mu replied.

“Martial law?”

Alice was slightly stunned.

“It seems… Maple Leaf Territory may have had some changes.”

The Saint sighed slightly.

“Yes, Maple Leaf Territory did have some changes, which is why I came to you and Lord Ling in such a hurry.”

Li Mu said respectfully.

Seeing his suddenly eager attitude, Alice’s heart moved:

“Sir Li Mu, have you found out what happened there?”

“Yes, when our fleet was wandering outside Zeroland, we rescued a half-elf girl who escaped from the noble villa of Zeroland and obtained some information from her.”

Li Mu paused, his expression solemn:

“Lord Alice, Lord Ling, Maple Leaf Territory… should be going to war.”

“War?”

“Yes, it was the Border Earl, the Border Earl of the Holy Manya Empire that dominates Maple Leaf Territory, who seemed to have rebelled, just a few days ago… I think that soon a caravan will also pass this news to the Elf Forest. We also saw a lot of mercenaries on the shore, and they should all have been recruited there.”

Li Mu said solemnly.

“The Border Earl rebelled?”

Alice was stunned.

“Yes, it seems that the Holy Manya Empire wants to take back the power of the Border Earl, and the reason is a rumor.”

Li Mu replied.

“Rumor?”

Alice frowned.

Li Mu nodded:

“The rumor says that the true identity of the Border Earl of Maple Leaf Territory is not a human, but a vampire hiding in the human world and sacrificing his soul to the abyss demon… Then, according to the “Sacred Edict” set by the first emperor of the Holy Manya Empire and the Eternal Church, the Empress of the Empire announced the withdrawal of the electoral rights of the Border Earl and deprived Cappadocia of its noble qualifications… So, the Border Earl rebelled.

“Just half a month ago, the Empress of the Empire had appointed Duke Rosen, one of the seven electors, as the marshal, leading the Third Guards Corps of the Empire, as well as several large mercenary groups recruited, a total of about 80,000 troops, and rushed to Maple Leaf Territory.”

Li Mu’s voice was deep and powerful.

After hearing what he said, Alice and Eve, who was wearing a zero vest, couldn’t help but look at him together.

What he knew was too detailed…

“Is this all told to you by the half-elf girl? “

Eve suddenly asked.

“Yes, Lord Ling.”

Li Mu answered respectfully.

“Where is she now?”

Eve asked again.

“She is in Gray Harbor now, being taken care of by our members of Nature’s Heart.”

Li Mu said.

“Gray Harbor? Why not take her to Florence?”

Alice frowned.

Although Nature’s Heart Guild was the Chosen Guild that impressed her the most, Alice still felt that elves like these who returned to the Elf Forest should first be accepted by the church and guided by traditional elves to integrate into the new Elf Forest for their slightly strange actions.

After all, there have been countless facts that have proved that the Chosen are too skilled in leading the pace. For those returning elves, especially those who are younger, most people will easily be led astray by them…

Let alone learning to eat meat and swearing, it was enough to give Alice a headache.

However, after hearing what Alice said, Li Mu hesitated.

He smiled bitterly and said,

“Lord Alice, it’s not that we don’t want to take her to Florence, but her identity is a little special… According to the goddess’s rules, she can’t go deep into the Elf Forest before she becomes a believer, let alone Florence.”

“She’s not a believer of the goddess?”

This time, Alice was really surprised.

After all, all the elves and half-elves who fled to the Elf Forest knew the news of the goddess Eve and chose to accept converts of faith.

“That’s right, she is not a believer of the goddess yet, and her escape is not to go to the Elf Forest. Speaking of it… it seems more like she was fooled by us… cough, persuaded.”

Li Mu coughed dryly.

“Who is she?”

Eve asked.

Of course, when asking this question, she also secretly contacted the game network to find the vision of the players in Gray Harbor.

“Lord Zero, she is the child of a human noble and an elf.”

Li Mu replied.

“The child of a human noble and an elf?!”

Alice couldn’t help but exclaimed.

When she heard the word “human noble”, her expression flashed a trace of disgust, and then turned into astonishment after hearing the second half of the sentence, but after being astonished… it turned into enlightenment, and finally, she let out a deep sigh:

“So… that’s it.”

For a moment, Alice was silent.

Until Eve’s voice sounded again, breaking the silence of the temple:

“The one who is taking care of her now is Demacia?”

Li Mu was slightly stunned, showing a look of how did you know.

But soon, he realized that this was in the game, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

“Yes, he is taking care of the other party.”

“What’s her name?”

Eve asked again.

“Sophia, her full name is Sophia von Wels.”

Li Mu answered respectfully.

“Sophia von Wels…”

Alice’s expression was a little complicated.

“This is the name of a human noble…”

She murmured.

…

The eastern border of the Elf Forest, Gray Harbor.

The number of merchant ships coming and going seems to be much less than in the past, and the usually bustling docks are much quieter.

This is in stark contrast to the lively scene in Gray Harbor City. If you don’t know, you might think that this is not a port city gradually becoming famous for trade, but a prosperous inland elven city.

In the inner city of Gray Harbor, in the castle-like palace of the Nature’s Heart Guild headquarters, players come and go, and it is very lively.

Especially outside the reception building of the headquarters, a large number of guild players gathered. They looked into the building curiously and whispered to each other:

“Where is she? Where is she? Where is the half-elf girl that boss Dema abducted?”

“Tsk, the innermost room. It is said that there is a sharp-tongued young lady. Dema was scolded so much that his face turned black…”

“Sharp-tongued young lady? “Elf Kingdom” is okay, I love this…”

“Come on, this is a plot character brought back by the bosses, a hidden plot.”

“The one who failed the exploration?”

“Yes, yes…”

“In that case… are the rumors I heard at the dock true? Is there going to be a war in Maple Leaf Territory?”

“I don’t know… Brother Mu and the others seem to know the inside story, but they are going to find Alice and the big sister now.”

The players talked a lot, looking forward to it:

“War? Doesn’t that mean… we are going to have a new war?”

“Don’t get excited, it’s the humans fighting each other.”

“Good boy, it’s only been a short time since we started the game, and they are already ‘human’ and ‘human’.”

“Hey, after all, I’m an elf now! Goddess is so cool!”

The players chatted while looking into the reception building.

Of course, there were two silver bosses controlling the door, and no one could go in.

Until a player dressed elegantly and with a red back hair came over with a plate of delicious pastries.

“What are you yelling about? Make way, make way, I still have to go in to deliver food.”

It was Demacia.

Seeing his decent outfit, the players were stunned.

Then they started to make a noise:

“Damn, Demacia, why did you change your outfit?”

“My goodness, I can hardly recognize you after you changed your vest!”

“Where’s your afro? Where’s your afro? Your afro is your real body!”

“Tsk tsk, you don’t really want to hook up with the NPC, do you? No way?”

Listening to the increasingly ridiculous teasing of the players, Demacia’s face darkened.

You say, as a high-ranking member of the guild, how come everyone respects Brother Mu, but he, the vice president, has no sense of dignity…

“What nonsense are you talking about? I just changed my clothes to get information.”

With that, he entered the reception building.

Only a group of curious eyes were left:

“Get information? Does the Demacia boss need to get information specifically? Isn’t he the best at fooling NPCs?”

“Tsk, it seems that he has hit a wall this time…”

…

Carrying the prepared pastries, Demacia came to the door at the deepest part of the corridor.

This is the best reception room in the entire Heart of Nature. It used to be used to receive Alice and the big sister.

He took a deep breath, put on a friendly smile, and then gently knocked on the door, saying in a gentle tone:

“Ms. Sophia, I am Demacia, I am here to bring you lunch.”

“Get lost.”

A cold and crisp female voice came from inside the room.

Demacia’s smile froze on his face.
