Game of the World Tree - Chapter 655

Chapter 652 She Won’t Succeed

The sun sets and night falls.

The darkness gradually engulfs the sky, and the bustling Grey Harbor welcomes the night.

Lights flicker in the city, illuminating the city at night. They are the magic streetlights on the road and the lights in every house. They are elves who have settled in Grey Harbor, or players of the Nature’s Heart Guild and its affiliated guilds.

Sophia sat in the Amway Tavern in Nature’s Heart, looking at the scene outside the window in a trance.

She looked much more relaxed than during the day, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Until a knock on the door slowly brought her thoughts back…

“Come in.”

The girl said softly.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Demacia, carrying a plate of sumptuous dinner, walked in leisurely.

After seeing who came in, the expression on Sophia’s face turned cold instantly.

“Hey hey… don’t chase me away first, don’t chase me away first, I’m just a delivery man, I’ll go away after I’m done…”

Looking at the disgusted look of the girl, Demacia said helplessly.

Sophia snorted coldly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

“Mr. Demacia, the moment I saw you, I lost my appetite. I advise you to stay at home. After all, pets are not allowed to run around in the tavern.”

She said coldly.

Demacia:…

“After all, this hotel is also an asset under my name… Can’t you not harm me…”

He muttered resentfully.

Then, he put the plate in his hand on the table.

Sophia glanced at him indifferently, but she didn’t chase him away after all.

It seems that Demacia has become bolder after noticing the good mood of the girl.

He looked at the direction Sophia was facing, and laughed:

“Hehehe, how is it? Miss Sophia, how is our Grey Harbor? Is it very prosperous?”

“No matter how prosperous a city is, it will make people feel annoyed when there are dirty rats that are annoying.”

Sophia said lightly.

Demacia: …

“Forget it, I shouldn’t have said anything too much.”

He sighed and turned away.

“But…”

At this moment, Sophia’s voice came again.

“This is indeed a beautiful and happy city. In my opinion, it is no less than Zeroland.”

She looked at the lively lights outside the window and the happy crowd in the square and said.

The soft eyes were a little warmer.

“No less than Zeroland?”

Listening to the girl’s words, Demacia’s expression flashed a little strange.

He couldn’t help but want to complain that Zeroland was not a noble residential area, but thinking about the girl’s venomous tongue that cursed people without using dirty words, and the conversation between the big sister and the girl during the day, he finally held back…

“Forget it, don’t argue with an ignorant little girl.”

Demacia muttered.

Then, he waved his hand:

“I’m leaving. Remember to gather tomorrow, and… keep the statue of the goddess. You will use it sooner or later.”

After that, Demacia didn’t wait for Sophia to reply, and shook his head and left the room.

“You are still young…”

His voice faded away as the door closed.

Demacia left the room, and Sophia’s sight gradually withdrew from the window.

“A statue of the goddess…”

She murmured, looking at the wooden table in front of her.

On the table stood a beautiful and holy statue of the goddess, about thirty or forty centimeters tall.

According to the elves during the day, this is the statue of Eve, the goddess of life.

Looking at the statue, Sophia’s mind once again rang with the words of Zero Moonlight, the favored one of the goddess of life:

“Miss Sophia, this is the statue of the summoning elf’s chosen one. Take it with you, and when you need it, please ask the goddess for help.”

Asking for help from the goddess of life…

Thinking of the various legends about the goddess of life, Sophia hesitated for a moment, but still put the statue away and put it in the storage ring she carried with her.

Then, she touched her rumbling stomach, and finally couldn’t help but come to the dining table with the plate, wiped her hands elegantly with a wet towel, and then enjoyed it…

…

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Sophia, who had packed up, arrived at the port of Gray Harbor early.

There was a wooden two-masted sailboat about 30 to 40 meters long parked by the port. The white sails on it were embroidered with golden irises and patterns with the Amway Chamber of Commerce logo.

This was a cross-rigged sailboat built by players using the technology on Blue Star.

Although it was modified from the sea ship technology on Blue Star, it was very suitable for sailing in the deep, wide and windy Vimur River. At the same time, the magic circle of light body engraved on the bottom of the ship also allowed the sailboat to reduce its draft when approaching the shore, so that it could easily dock without the risk of running aground.

For this reason, it was often used by players as a merchant ship and even for transporting livestock.

At this moment, some elves were driving tall horses to board the ship.

Each of those horses was more majestic than the superior war horses that Sophia saw in her own castle, and their bodies were covered with dense scales.

“Dragon scale horse…”

The half-elf girl looked surprised.

She recognized that these horses must have drunk the blood of dragons and were a very precious mutant monster.

And from the records she read in the books, this kind of monster horse was extremely fast and was a very suitable mount for traveling.

Sophia looked at the sailboat and the horses for a few seconds and then retracted her gaze.

If she guessed correctly, it was probably this boat that escorted her to the upper reaches of the Vimur River to find Duke Rosen.

And those dragon-scale horses might also be the mounts provided by the elves.

With this thought, Sophia turned her gaze to the shore. There were already many half-elf girls, some unfamiliar and some familiar, at the port.

There were about 20 tall elves, both men and women, fully armed, with gorgeous equipment on their bodies. Each of them had the power of silver, which made Sophia unable to help but look at them a few more times.

Although the magic power of the Segos continent is constantly improving, and more and more extraordinary people have broken through the ranks, this strength can barely be considered a strong person.

The elves stood in two rows, their bodies straight.

The leaders were familiar people whose names the half-elf girl already knew.

Li Mu, Demacia, Zhu Zhu, Meng Zhihan, Yuexia Jasmine and others were among them.

They surrounded the elf god-favored Zero Moonlight and the Saint of Life Alice Gale, and were talking to each other…

Seeing Zero and Alice, Sophia’s eyes lit up slightly.

She came in front of the other party, pinched the corner of her clothes and saluted:

“Good morning, Lord Zero, Her Highness Alice.”

“Good morning, Miss Sophia.”

Saint Alice also performed an elf etiquette and returned the salute gently.

Zero, the God’s Favored One, also turned around and smiled faintly at the girl:

“Good morning, Miss Sophia, how did you rest last night?”

“Very good, the food of the elves is delicious, and the wooden bed with incense is also conducive to sleep.”

The girl replied respectfully.

Of course, the dark circles at the corners of her eyes still betrayed her condition.

However, although she obviously did not sleep well, the girl was in excellent spirits and full of energy.

Zero did not expose the girl’s words. She nodded and introduced the elves around her to Sophia:

“Miss Sophia, they are members of the Iris Knights of the Heart of Nature. Each of them has the strength of the lower silver peak. They will escort you to find Duke Rosen.”

The Knights of the Elf Tribe?

Sophia was slightly stunned.

She looked at these elves carefully, and then found the same golden iris logo on their chests.

Then, Sophia’s expression became serious, and she pinched the corner of her clothes again and saluted to the elves:

“Sophia von Wells, meet all the elven knights.”

Looking at the polite half-elf girl, the players returned the greetings one after another, and at the same time, many people looked at Demacia in the team with strange eyes.

Unknown to Sophia, the teasing has already begun…

In the chat channel of the Knights of Nature’s Heart –

Natsume: “Aren’t you known for being sharp-tongued? I think you’re quite polite!”

Moon Jasmine: “Did Demacia do something to piss off the NPC again?”

Tingting: “Ahahaha… You don’t know, this guy just ate garlic fruit and he gave me a forceful kiss. He’s thick-skinned and hasn’t been hunted down. Ahahaha…”

All the players:…

Natsume: “You’re such a talent!”

Demacia: “Tingting, don’t talk nonsense! I was giving artificial respiration!”

Tingting: “How dare you say you didn’t have any bad thoughts? You ran faster than me at the time.”

Demacia: “…”

All the players: “…”

“You’re worthy of it…”

“You deserve it.”

“Hahaha, Demacia, your tragedy will always be my source of happiness, ahahaha…”

For a moment, the chat channel was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The players were having a great time chatting in the chat channel, but on the surface they looked serious, like a group of disciplined soldiers.

After playing the game for so long, how to chat in the chat channel while doing tasks seriously in the game has become a must-have skill for every veteran player.

Anyway… just lock the facial expressions in the system.

Although it is not very convenient, it is still very suitable for preventing laughter or other unexpected situations when doing tasks.

In short… it is still very convenient to fool NPCs.

This is also a classic method that veteran players have figured out after losing favor again and again.

All this also caused Sophia, who didn’t know the truth, to see the solemn expressions of the players, but nodded secretly in her heart, and her evaluation of the Elf Knights rose a few points…

After introducing the escorts, Zero looked at the sailboat on the shore again:

“This is the Nature, the fastest sailboat in Gray Harbor. It will carry you and the escorts to the upper reaches of the Elf Forest. You will arrive at the human port town of River Bay in the upper reaches in about half a day. That place is not the area of Maple Leaf Territory. After that, you can take a dragon scale horse and walk for half a day to reach the Morning Star City where the Duke Rosen’s army is located.”

After hearing Zero’s words, Sophia’s eyes lit up:

“Lord Zero, have you found out where Duke Rosen is?”

“Hey, it was investigated by our Amway Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence network. Our offlines are all over the western part of the empire.”

Demacia interrupted proudly.

However, the half-elf girl ignored his words.

She didn’t even look at him, as if she treated him as an air man, which made Demacia, who originally wanted to show off a few words, look embarrassed.

Zero glanced at Demacia and said to Sophia:

“It is like this at present. It is said that the imperial army is recruiting mercenaries there.”

Sophia’s eyes lit up and she said gratefully:

“Thank you so much, Master Zero. I will never forget your help.”

After that, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a brand new scroll appeared:

“This is the oath contract I borrowed last night to write on paper and pen. I have sworn with my soul that when I return to the family and control the territory, I will definitely fulfill my previous promise!”

The girl’s expression was solemn. As she spoke, she handed a scroll to Zero.

Zero took it, but seemed not to care about the content on the scroll.

She didn’t even look at it, and put it away. She nodded slightly to Sophia and said meaningfully:

“Miss Sophia, I wish you good luck. When you encounter difficulties, please remember to ask for help from the statue of the goddess.”

Sophia was slightly stunned, and then nodded solemnly:

“I know.”

After saying goodbye to the two elf leaders, the half-elf girl boarded the ship accompanied by the Iris Knights.

The ship raised its sails, left the port, and sailed slowly into the distance…

Watching the sailboat gradually disappear from sight, Life Saint Alice couldn’t help asking:

“Lord Zero, do you think she will succeed?”

Eve, wearing a vest, shook her head gently:

“No.”

“Why are you so sure?”

Alice asked doubtfully.

“Because she is too idealistic.”

Eve said slowly.

“Idealistic? Isn’t it because of her elven blood?”

Alice was a little curious.

After a slight pause, Eve continued:

“For human nobles… elven blood is not a problem, it may even be a plus…”

“However, even if Duke Rosen can accept nobles with elven blood, he will not accept an idealistic noble…”

“Why?”

Alice asked curiously.

“Because of the nobles’ position.”

Eve sighed.

After hearing her words, Alice couldn’t help but say:

“You… seem to know a lot about the Holy Mannia Empire…”

“It’s just that you’ve ‘seen’ more things…”

Eve shook her head.

“Seen more?”

Alice tilted her head, a little confused.

Eve didn’t explain any more.

“Prepare to send tasks to the Chosen Ones. Soon, the Elf Mercenaries will be on the field. If we are lucky, maybe in a few years, we can celebrate the Harvest Festival in Maple Leaf City, and the Goddess will have a new devout believer.”

She said to Alice.

After that, she turned around and left the dock.

Only Saint Alice was left, thinking.

_(:з」∠)_ There will be more updates, but wait a little longer, until I finish my training and get my driver’s license… Since I plan to work in the province, the time of joining the job will probably be postponed again, and it may be after the Chinese New Year, so there will be plenty of time to update after I learn to drive.
