Game of the World Tree - Chapter 654

Chapter 651 Sophia’s Proposal

Looking at the two beautiful and elegant elves in front of her, Sophia’s proud eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

She raised her chin slightly, and with a slightly childish and majestic look, she looked at Eve and Alice up and down.

Demacia, who had retreated to the side, saw the girl’s slightly presumptuous expression, and laughed, then retreated with a playful expression to the side of Li Mu who was standing a little behind.

Glancing at Demacia’s playful expression that seemed to be a bit gloating, Li Mu had a strange expression.

“What are you looking at?”

he typed.

“Hey, Brother Mu, this garbage NPC named Sophia is so fucking irritating! I don’t know which planner designed this character, but her mouth is so fucking stinky! If she wasn’t a plot character, I would have torn her mouth apart long ago!”

“But now, the big sister is here, let’s see what this ignorant girl will do! Humph, with her shitty personality, let’s see how the big sister is going to deal with her!”

Demacia replied with great resentment.

Li Mu: …

“You… you actually still have the day to criticize others… If it weren’t for the fact that you forced artificial respiration after our people rescued people from the river and pissed them off, they wouldn’t have chased you and scolded you, right? Not to mention that you ate garlic fruit before artificial respiration. Don’t you know that the reason we call that fruit is because it smells like garlic?”

“Damn, how would I know she was pretending to be dead… I was just thinking about saving people at that time…”

“Why do I feel like you were trying to take advantage of me?”

“Brother Mu… do you believe me when I say I really didn’t think so much at that time?” “

I don’t believe it.”

“Uh… okay, maybe I did have some thoughts subconsciously. After all, her appearance really appeals to me. When I was watching the anime, I particularly liked her flaxen hair color. She is exactly the same as an animated character I like, but my main motivation was really to save people! I really didn’t think so much at that time…”

“Even so, it’s still your own fault in the final analysis. Rong Rong was also on the boat at that time. Wouldn’t it be a problem if she did it?”

“Okay, Brother Mu, I know I was wrong… I was wrong… But then again, I’ve apologized many times, I couldn’t be more humble, but this girl still won’t give in… And her mouth is too foul, too contemptuous, I don’t know why she despises elves so much, she has been finding faults all the way, I don’t know how much she weighs and how arrogant she is…”

“A noble, she will always be a little arrogant… Put yourself in her shoes and think about it.”

“But she is too arrogant, you see… She will soon be unable to resist satirizing the big sister, let’s see how the big sister teaches her to be a good child!”

Demacia complained in the friend channel with resentment.

“That’s not necessarily true, I think this Sophia is not that stupid, you are the only one who has been targeted all the way, right?”

Li Mu shook his head.

“Hey, Brother Mu, just watch.”

Demacia typed.

The exchange with Li Mu in the chat channel lasted only a moment.

After typing, Demacia looked at the arrogant half-elf girl again.

But this glance made him open his mouth in surprise.

Sophia, who had just been madly venomous to him, looked at Zero and Alice carefully, and her scrutiny soon turned into suspicion, and then suspicion was gradually replaced by respect…

Then, she suddenly reached out and pinched the corner of her dress, bent down and performed a standard human noble ceremony, and said with dignity and elegance:

“Sophia von Wells, meet the life-loving Zero Moonlight, and Alice Gale.”

After that, she stood up slightly, straightened her body, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Fuck? What’s going on? Is this still the foul-mouthed and unruly young lady?!”

Demacia was stunned.

“See, I told you.”

Li Mu shook his head.

Looking at the girl’s respectful but still somewhat vigilant and cautious eyes, Eve was slightly surprised.

She was just curious about the half-elves who intermarried with humans and were accepted by human nobles, and she was interested in seeing what was going on, but she didn’t expect to see such an interesting child.

Of course, the main reason was that she was very idle now and wanted to find something to do.

“You know us?”

Eve asked gently.

Sophia raised her eyebrows, then said with a little respect:

“Of course, the elf warrior Zero Moonlight, who fought against the legendary shadow dragon alone and was blessed by the goddess of life Eve, and the life saint Alice Gale, who revived the faith of the elves, your reputation has long been known to everyone in Maple Leaf Territory.”

“Then do you think we are also vases made by orcs?”

Alice, who was beside Eve, asked with a little dissatisfaction.

Hearing her words, Sophia’s expression flashed a rare embarrassment.

But she quickly adjusted herself, bowed slightly, and answered with dignity and steadiness:

“No, you and Master Ling are both high-level professionals, and are truly powerful, but… the elves’ cowardice is also a fact. Of course, I only mean in the past. Now with two leaders, the elves have naturally changed a lot, and can even achieve the feat of defeating the Dark City-State Alliance and the orcs.”

Looking at the half-elf girl who was completely different from how she treated him just now, Demacia’s expression was dull.

Li Mu cast a sympathetic look at him, as if saying, “You see, it’s just like what I said.”

After hearing Sophia’s words, Eve looked at her with more and more interest.

Her peripheral vision paused on the cross-shaped crystal necklace hanging on Sophia’s chest, which was obviously blessed by eternal divine power, and then looked at the dim light of faith on the girl, which was almost like a believer without faith, and smiled slightly:

“If that’s the case, then why did you slander the elves just now?”

After saying that, her smile gradually faded, and she deliberately released the pressure of a high-level professional to suppress the girl.

The strong pressure came, and Sophia’s face turned pale.

However, the necklace around her neck flickered slightly, and her face quickly recovered.

The half-elf lady who claimed to be a human noble took a deep breath, and then said generously:

“There are three reasons.”

“First, just as there are always various kinds of monsters in the vast forest, even if the elves are making progress as a whole, there will inevitably be some scum. They are like a grain of rye on white bread, which will ruin the taste of the whole bread. Oh, no, calling them rye may overestimate them. They are more like rats that can be found everywhere in the sewers.”

As she spoke, Sophia glanced at Demacia with contempt, causing the latter’s expression to freeze and his face to become darker and darker.

“Second.”

The half-elf girl changed the subject:

“I admit that the elves in the Elf Forest have indeed greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations, but this does not represent all elves. In my understanding, many elves are still cowardly and humble. They have nothing but a childish, ridiculous, pitiful and sad heart.”

Speaking of this, Sophia’s eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, as if she had thought of something, but the complexity soon disappeared, and her expression became more and more determined:

“Third.”

She looked at Li Mu and Demacia behind Eve, and continued:

“Although these elves are powerful, they are not high-level after all. Not only that, they deceived me, and I don’t trust them. Only by making everything bigger can I see the real master of the Elf Forest, that is, you two.”

Hearing this, Alice’s expression flashed with a hint of surprise.

Eve looked at Sophia with more interest.

“What do you want?”

She asked.

Sophia’s expression became serious:

“Lord Ling, I don’t have too high a request. I just want you to escort me to the empire and find Duke Rosen.”

“Of course, I am not without reward. After the empire defeats the Border Earl, I will use the power of the Wells family to send all the elves and half-elf slaves found in the current Maple Leaf Territory and even the southwest of the empire back to the Elf Forest.”

The girl said.

Eve looked at her in surprise and said:

“Send all the elves and half-elves found in the southwest of the empire back to the Elf Forest? This is not an easy task.”

“Of course, that will have to wait until I become the Viscount of Wells, or even the Border Earl of Wells.”

Sophia said.

“Border Earl? Is that something you can become if you want to? Do you think the nobles are just playing house?”

Behind Eve, Demacia couldn’t help but complain.

Sophia ignored his complaints and continued to say to Eve and the others:

“The Wells family is the second most noble family in Maple Leaf Territory after the Cappadocia family. According to the imperial law, after the Border Earl rebelled, if the Wells family helped the rebellion, they would legally inherit the title of Border Earl.”

“At the same time, our family is a branch of the Rosen family. Duke Rosen would be happy to support a family branch to become a new Elector family. At that time, as the legitimate heir of the Wells family, I would naturally be the new Elector, and I would naturally have enough power to fulfill my promise and send the elves back to the Elf Forest.”

“What about you? You are also a half-elf…”

Alice couldn’t help asking.

“Me? Maybe, but I live in Zeroland, and the glorious blood of Wells is in my blood. Before I became a half-elf, I was an imperial noble!”

“My enlightenment mentor once taught me to inherit the territory, grow into an excellent lord, develop the territory into prosperity and strength, and make the people happy. This is also what I have always pursued in life…”

Sophia said proudly.

After she finished speaking, her expression became a little sad:

“If my half-brother Carl had not usurped the throne, I should have been the successor after my father passed away… I suspect that it was he who colluded with the Border Lord, gained power from the evil god, and killed my father…”

Evil god?

Eve’s heart moved slightly:

“Has the evil god appeared again in Maple Leaf Territory?”

“Again…”

Sophia’s eyebrows flashed with doubt.

However, she soon realized:

“You mean the Despair Cult incident four years ago? The Despair Cult has been eradicated by the Eternal Church, but it is rumored that the Border Lord met a new evil god in a ruin and gave his soul to the other party, so… I also suspect that my despicable brother did something similar.”

“Ruins?”

Alice caught the key words in the girl’s words.

“Yes.”

Sophia nodded.

She glanced at Eve and Alice and said,

“After the last destruction of the orcs, the magic concentration in Maple Leaf Territory increased again, and it was at that time that the Border Earl discovered a new ruin near Maple Leaf City…”

“Of course, he kept it a secret very well. If it weren’t for the fact that our Wells family happened to have an intelligence base near the ruins, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have known this secret…”

Ruins near Maple Leaf City?

The evil god in the ruins?

Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other with surprised expressions.

“Brother Mu, do you think… could this be the ruins that the goddess asked us to find?”

Demacia typed.

“I don’t know… but it seems that it’s not impossible.”

Li Mu replied.

Alice was also surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Eve beside her, and found that she was still calm, so she quickly adjusted her mood.

“Where is this ruins… exactly?”

She couldn’t help asking.

Sophia shook her head:

“Sorry, Your Highness Alice, this is the secret of the Wells family.”

After saying that, she glanced at the players behind them and continued:

“Of course, if you can help me find Duke Rosen, or even send some elven mercenaries to help me regain control of the family and defeat the Border Earl’s army, I am not only willing to share the ruins with the Elf Forest, but also willing to become a friend of the Elf Forest.”

Looking at the girl’s confident eyes, Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other.

This girl… seems to have something?

Let alone anything else, just listening to what the other party said, even if it is not considered as a game plot, the two of them were moved…

Even Alice was obviously moved, and couldn’t help looking at Eve who was wearing the God’s Favoured Zero vest.

However, as the person in charge of the elves, Eve’s expression did not change much.

She looked at the half-elf girl with a calm look, and that penetrating look made Sophia feel as if she was seen through from the inside out.

“Miss Sophia.”

Eve suddenly said softly.

“Please go ahead.”

said the half-elf girl.

Eve looked at her for a moment, then said:

“You have hardly ever left the castle since you were a child, right?”

Sophia was silent for a moment, then said:

“Although I have never left the castle, I have seen the whole world from books and learned a lot of knowledge.”

After that, she couldn’t help but look at Eve again:

“Lord Ling, why are you asking this? Are you dissatisfied with the cooperation I proposed?”

Facing the girl’s gaze, Eve smiled gently:

“No, I am very interested in you.”

“It’s just that I don’t know if you will still have the confidence you have today after meeting Duke Rosen…”

After speaking, Eve turned around and said to Li Mu:

“Li Mu, go to the temple and get a summoning statue and give it to Miss Sophia.”
