Game of the World Tree - Chapter 677

Chapter 674: Farce and God’s Favor

The human noble shook his head, his expression was arrogant, forming a sharp contrast with his thin figure.

And the tone of his speech was even more condescending, as if what he said was a great gift to the Elf Forest, which made everyone, including Sophia, frown slightly.

In addition, his sarcastic appearance made it even more difficult for people to have a good impression.

The elf players looked at each other, and almost whispered to each other without disguising:

“Where did this stupid NPC come from? Is he crazy?”

“He looks so stupid… just like a goblin…”

“Isn’t it just asking for help? Who doesn’t know about the Maple Leaf Territory’s trivial matters? That’s it?”

“That’s right, he’s an earl… I feel that his aura is not as powerful as mine…”

The players spoke in a bad tone, and their eyes looking at the nobles were even more strange and a little disdainful.

However, the language they talked in was set to Elvish. Except for Sophia who had learned Elvish, the imperial nobles holding the suspected documents obviously didn’t understand.

But even if he didn’t understand, the human noble who called himself Count Bayer also felt some hostility from the elves’ unfriendly eyes.

He sneered and said:

“Is this the way of hospitality in the Elf Forest? Where is your boss? Why don’t you come and receive us?”

Players: …

This… is really not looking for trouble? !

The two players in charge of patrolling at the front of the crowd were obviously amused by the tone of the human nobles. They were about to make sarcastic remarks, but a crisp sneer came from the elves earlier:

“Heh… Is this the way of visiting the Empire? Since when did the Empire’s envoys allow unruly goblins to serve as envoys?”

This is the common language of the road.

Count Bayer: …

He raised his head angrily and looked at the person who spoke, only to see a half-elf wearing an elf apprentice priest’s skirt coming to the crowd.

Her appearance was stunning, but her eyes were very cold, and she looked at the nobles with deep disgust.

The surrounding players were instantly excited:

“Fuck! It’s Sophia!”

“Isn’t this the sharp-tongued lady? Has she been brainwashed by Sister Zhuzhu?”

“Bah, bah, bah… What brainwashing! This is called enlightenment, okay!”

“Yes, yes, yes… enlightenment!”

“Haha, Sophia is here, it’s going to be a good show!”

“Take notes quickly! How to use elegant words without using dirty words to make people angry to death…”

The players were talking about it, and their eyes were full of teasing when they looked at the human nobles.

Of course, they still communicated in a low voice in Elvish.

“Who are you? How dare you insult the imperial delegation?!”

Count Bayer looked at Sophia angrily and said sternly.

Comparing people to goblins…

This is probably the most infuriating words in the world of Segos.

The girl looked at him with contempt, then opened her eyes wide as if in surprise, and sneered:

“Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t look carefully just now, I thought you were a goblin wearing a stolen noble robe! But after a closer look… it turns out that you just look more unique.”

“Count Bayer, right? Looking at your clothes and the medal on your chest… you should be a court earl, right? Since you are a court earl, you should be very familiar with the laws and regulations of the empire. Don’t you know that when you officially visit other countries, you need to send envoys in advance or rely on third-party forces to contact them?”

“You have no rules, no dignity of nobility, I am really ashamed of you for Her Majesty the Queen!”

Sophia’s voice was extremely contemptuous, and Count Bayer was so angry that his beard stood up.

“Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense in front of me?! Do you know who my father is?!”

He said angrily.

The girl’s eyes were even more disdainful:

“It doesn’t matter who I am, and it doesn’t matter who your father is. What’s important… is your current identity.”

After saying that, she shook her head slightly:

“It seems that the gods are still fair. They gave you a unique appearance and also gave you a pitiful IQ, so as not to make you look out of place… They actually let someone like you serve as the head of the delegation. It seems that the empire is really rotten to the core.”

“You…!”

“What do you mean by me? I’m just stating the facts. If you still have a little self-knowledge, I think you should go back to the elementary department of the Imperial Academy and study diplomatic theory. Oh… no, looking at you like this, I’m really worried that if you really go back, you won’t be able to graduate. After all, you don’t look like you’re only twelve years old, nor do you look like you have the IQ of a twelve-year-old.”

“You!!”

Count Bayer was so angry that his face turned green.

He trembled, looked at Sophia fiercely, and then turned to the knight beside him and said:

“What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and capture this half-elf who insulted the empire?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several nobles with silver strength surrounded Sophia, and Sophia shook her head in disappointment, holding the magic props on her body tightly, ready to teach them a lesson.

However, just as the guards were about to surround her, a red figure fell from the sky, kicked several knights away easily, and then sneered:

“Who dares to arrest people in the Elf Forest?!”

It was Demacia.

He seemed to have just been promoted to the middle silver position. His aura was not very stable, but his strength had already been slightly improved.

Several human knights who were at most just entering the silver level were no match for him with six divine suits.

After kicking several knights into the river under the dock, Demacia raised the greatsword in his hand and laughed:

“Is this the attitude of the human empire in seeking help? Just ask for help, and call it an alliance. At least come with sincerity, and say hello to me, me and everyone else. What are you doing? Or… you actually have no intention of ‘alliance’ at all, and are just looking for trouble?”

“Who are you?”

Count Bayer narrowed his eyes and looked at Demacia, questioning.

“Tsk… It’s this condescending attitude that annoys me when I see it.”

Demacia clicked his tongue.

Then, he waved to the players behind him:

“Brothers, tie them up and throw them into the river to wake them up.”

Hearing Demacia’s order, the other players of Nature’s Heart sneered a few times, then drew their weapons with ill intentions and went to meet them.

However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the Empire Fleet:

“Enough!”

The powerful pressure spread and instantly suppressed the elves on the dock. Including Demacia, who was already in the middle of the silver level, everyone felt a terrifying force locking on themselves, making their hair stand on end and almost losing control of their bodies.

The next moment, a figure wearing a red bishop’s robe walked down the flagship.

It was an old man with gray hair. He had only one eye, and the other was covered by a golden eye mask. His whole body was shrouded in soft holy light.

“Cardinal Maurice…”

Sophia’s expression was solemn.

Cardinal…

Demacia and other players narrowed their eyes slightly.

With the continuous communication between the caravan and the human empire, the players have long had some understanding of the priest level within the Eternal Church.

Everyone who can become a cardinal is a legendary and fanatical person!

However, although a legend appeared, Demacia did not seem to be afraid at all.

He just laughed and said sarcastically:

“Isn’t it just a legend? Why are you so arrogant in the Forest of Elves?”

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and shouted to the sky:

“Lord Mars! Humans are here to bully our elves!”

As soon as the voice fell, a breath far more terrifying than Cardinal Maurice descended on the dock. Its vastness and power made the legendary cardinal change his expression slightly.

“Go away, the Forest of Elves does not welcome evil guests.”

An indifferent voice came from the sky and rang in everyone’s heart.

The cardinal’s expression was solemn.

“Demi… God…”

He murmured in disbelief.

Then, he took a deep look at the Grey Harbor City, frowned at Earl Bayer, who had already collapsed on the ground under the pressure, and said to the other knights:

“Take him, let’s go.”

Then, he boarded the flagship of the empire without looking back.

The knights helped Earl Bayer up, and then followed the cardinal to board the sailboat. The sailboat raised the sail again and slowly sailed away from the port.

There was no hesitation at all, and it was even a little embarrassed.

“Goodbye!”

Demacia proudly put his hands together and shouted, laughing.

Several players from the Nature’s Heart team stepped forward and took out a bag of salt powder from their arms and sprinkled it into the sky…

for the purpose of warding off evil spirits.

Sophia: …

After laughing for a while, Demacia turned around and said,

“Hehehe, it’s a good thing that Brother Mu invited Lord Mars to visit Grey Harbor today, haha… Did you see the expression of the cardinal just now? He must have been frightened by the pressure from Lord Mars, right? Hahaha! He ran so fast!”

However, when he saw the girl’s complicated gaze at the human fleet that was getting farther and farther away, he hurriedly explained:

“Don’t feel psychologically pressured. They didn’t come here to form an alliance. It’s too obvious. How could they do that? And I have a little news. It seems that there is a conflict between the church and the nobles in the human empire. The nobles seem to want to use us to destroy the evil god, but the church disagrees…”

“Hey, since there is a cardinal, it is estimated that they are from the church, and their original intention should be to disrupt the situation.” “

However, even if the human nobles come to ask for help, you can’t believe it. The players who participated in the Empire’s crusade and were killed by the evil god didn’t get a penny of compensation… It is said that this was all promised by the Council of Nobles!”

“So, they are not sincere in forming an alliance. You can’t trust them at all!”

Demacia shook her head.

Sophia looked at him with a complicated look and nodded:

“I know.”

“You know?”

Demacia was stunned.

The girl nodded:

“It’s just a farce. I’m not stupid… The human nobles have never regarded other races as allies. They only have slavery and domination in their hearts, as well as hypocritical and self-righteous friendliness.”

After saying that, she sighed again:

“It’s just that, although it’s a farce, I didn’t expect the empire to fall to such a point… It’s really like what Teacher Rong Rong said, the society of the empire has long been torn apart, whether it’s between civilians and nobles, or between nobles and the church…”

“The society is torn apart, the evil gods are rampant, I can’t imagine what kind of environment the people of Maple Leaf Territory are living in now…”

After speaking, Sophia turned her head again, trying to find Feng’s figure, but found that the mysterious elf Chosen One had disappeared at some point.

Seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Demacia asked curiously:

“Who are you looking for?”

“Lord Feng.”

“What the hell?! Boss Feng is here? Where is he?”

Demacia looked around quickly.

“He’s gone.”

Sophia shook her head.

“He’s really a more mysterious guy than the big sister…”

Demacia muttered to himself.

After that, he looked at the half-elf girl again, as if he remembered something, and said with a guilty conscience:

“Well… I said it a little harsh last time, you didn’t take it to heart?”

Sophia: …

She looked at Demacia for a while, making her look creepy, and then suddenly sighed:

“Lord Demacia…”

“I’m here!”

“Why do you have a mouth?”

Demacia: …

He scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed, not knowing where he said the wrong thing again.

However, just when he was hesitating about how to ease the atmosphere, he heard the girl’s soft voice:

“Thank you…”

“Hmm… Hmm?!”

Demacia widened his eyes.

He quickly looked at Sophia, but found that the girl still had that indifferent expression. For a moment, he suspected that he had heard wrongly.

“What did you say just now?”

“Nothing.”

Sophia had no expression on

her face. She looked past the crowd and looked at the people coming and going on the dock again.

At this moment, a new ship docked, and it seemed that it was carrying a lot of refugee civilians, who looked ragged and skinny.

Sophia was silent for a while, and suddenly said:

“Your Excellency Demacia.”

“Yes.”

“Do you know a lot of Chosen Elfs?”

“Of course! I am the vice president of Nature’s Heart and the deputy lord of Grey Harbor!”

“I want to entrust you with a task…”

“What is it?”

The girl was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised her head:

“I want to counterattack Maple Leaf Territory.”

Demacia:…

“My lady, there is an evil god in Maple Leaf Territory! We can’t counterattack on our own! And now, do you still want to return to the empire?!”

“No, when I became a believer of the goddess, I decided to give up my noble status.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“I just want to bring light to people, just want to uphold justice, just want to spread the righteous faith of Her Majesty the Goddess, to save the world.”

“…”

Demacia looked at the girl in amazement, wondering what the hell this guy had been through in the past two months, but suddenly saw a faint holy light rising from Sophia’s body…

“Fuck! God’s favor?!”

He couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

At the same time, the half-elf girl only felt her vision slightly blurred, and she seemed to see a gorgeous throne, and on the throne, a holy goddess with silver hair and purple eyes was smiling at her.

“Have you decided?”

She seemed to hear such a gentle and kind voice.

Sophia’s heart moved slightly.

The moment she saw the other party, she already knew the other party’s identity.

The half-elf girl looked excited and fanatical, and then she knelt down respectfully, and her voice was sincere:

“Yes, Your Majesty, I… am ready!”

As soon as the voice fell, her vision was covered by golden light, and in the shocked eyes of Demacia, a brilliant light rose from the half-elf girl’s body…

He was very familiar with that kind of light, it was the power of the goddess Eve!

Enveloped by divine power, Sophia’s aura continued to rise, soon breaking through the black iron, and then soaring all the way, finally surpassing the silver and becoming gold…

The light disappeared after a few seconds, and a faint scepter symbol had already appeared on Sophia’s forehead.

The symbol flashed slightly, and then gradually disappeared…

At this moment, she became the one favored by the true god!

At the same time, including Demacia, a new system message appeared in the vision of all online players:

[Ding——]

[Player Demacia triggered a hidden task: Sophia’s commission]

…

Demacia: …
