Game of the World Tree - Chapter 699

Chapter 696 Two Months

The cool sea breeze blew from the west, with a slightly salty and wet taste.

The loud singing of seagulls circled in the air, accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the shore, playing a moving melody.

Coupled with the soothing minor tune unique to the coastal city of Milovia in the game system, rippling in the heart, people can’t help but close their eyes, and feel a kind of tranquility away from the world and the hustle and bustle.

Forget all the troubles, forget all the fatigue, just want to sing loudly to the ripples, waves chasing waves, blue like a mirror, soft like silk…

This is the impulse in Cyber’s heart now.

As a semi-casual hunter player, Cyber likes to enjoy the scenery of “Elf Kingdom” after the mission.

Especially the coastal city of Milovia.

Even when settling down, he did not deliberately settle in the most convenient player main cities, but bought a sea view villa on the beach of Milovia.

Standing on the balcony of the sea view bedroom in his villa, Cyber stretched himself.

It was another exciting weekend, and he could play the game for more than 40 hours in a row.

Oh, no, it was more than a hundred hours.

After eating some bread slices and drinking some juice with bacon, Cyber, after filling his stomach, left home and walked to the streets of Milovia after putting on his equipment.

It has been almost half a year since the players discovered this city, and two months have passed since Sophia’s commission.

At this moment, Milovia is full of vitality, and NPCs and players can be seen coming and going everywhere.

On the white stone paved slab road, the elegant elf-style buildings on both sides have opened various shops, some of which are owned by players and some by NPCs.

From time to time, players riding Warcraft or driving carriages can be seen hurriedly passing through the center of the road, most of whom are leisure parties doing business.

Although only a few months have passed, as the only seaside city, Milovia has become the main source of aquatic products for players in the Elven Forest. Almost every well-known guild has placed fishing boats at the dock here.

Perhaps this city is still not as lively as Florence and Rivendell, but it is definitely full of vitality.

Avoiding the carriage in the middle of the road, Cyber walked slowly towards the Temple of Life along the right side of the street.

This is almost the first thing he does every time he goes online, going to the Church of Life to find the priest to accept daily tasks.

Although there are many NPCs in Milovia, if you can make friends with one or two, or find a part-time job in the store opened by the NPC, the rewards of daily tasks can also be solved, but Cyber still prefers to go to the temple, and you can also enter the mall to see if there are any new goods on sale.

Two months ago, he was able to draw the first batch of blood talent pilot opportunities in this way and got the “blood elf” quota.

Blood elves…

That is the branch under the new feature “blood talent” added after the latest update of “Elf Kingdom”. Currently, there is only this one.

Only the lucky prize pool can be opened.

As long as you draw this blood talent and get the blessing of the goddess in the temple, you can strengthen your blood power, gain stronger abilities than ordinary elves, and have the [Awakening] skill.

Once [Awakening], you can transform into an elf with special powers and get a substantial bonus.

It’s a bit like the druid’s transformation skill, but Cyber thinks it’s more flexible than the druid. After all, after the druid transforms, it gains 70% of the power of the transformed target, while [Awakening] is a new bonus based on the original skills.

The bonus of the blood elves is some unique blood magic, summoning magic and transformation magic. Cyber has learned three, one is [Flying Bat Wings], one is [Atomization], and one is [Blood Burning]. I

don’t know why, Cyber always feels that this ability is like the low-level vampires he hunted down the Cappadocia family in Maple Leaf City two months ago. I don’t know if it’s my illusion.

The background music in his ears is melodious and graceful, and Cyber can’t help but hum along.

Occasionally, a player who was climbing the eaves and walls of the houses on both sides accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground with a cry of pain, which was met with a roll of the eyes from him:

“Why don’t you just keep going…”

Gradually walking to the dock area of the city, the number of players gradually increased.

Looking to the coast, you can see large and small ships parked at the dock. Some are built by the players themselves, and some are purchased from the Kingdom of Aris in the south and then transported to Milovia by land.

The dock is bustling with people, and more players are running over there.

Cyber looked curiously and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems… much noisier than usual.

He casually grabbed a passing player and asked:

“Dude, what’s going on over there? It’s so lively?”

The passerby player’s expression was a little excited:

“Hey, our guild’s expedition team is back!”

Expedition team?

Cyber was slightly startled, and glanced at the guild name above the other party’s head –

[Moe Moe Committee].

Then, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a rumor more than two months ago. It seemed that Hefan, a well-known pioneer of the Moe Moe Committee, had set up an expedition fleet with the support of Xiao Xianmao and went out to sea to explore the border of the map.

However, Cyber believed more in another statement from the Moe Moe Committee. It was said that Hefan and his team went to find the elves of Milovia.   The

mysterious disappearance of the elves in Milovia is one of the hot topics in “Elf Kingdom”. Unlike other cities discovered by players, this elf city has no traces of fighting at all, and the city style is well preserved. The elves seemed to have disappeared suddenly.   At the beginning, some players found the items left by the elves in the nearby Titan ruins, so many people speculated whether the elves of Milovia had entered the ruins.   But as the players turned the entire Titan ruins upside down, they found that it was difficult to find even a Warcraft or monster in it, and there were no good Titan relics.   The entire ruins was empty, with only some rare and delicious fungi attracting some greedy players to pick some and make soup.   Later, some people speculated that the elves of Milovia had gone out to sea.   Then, there was the expedition team of the Moe Moe Committee.   Thinking of this, Cyber was also a little curious.   He also wanted to know what the expedition team of the Moe Moe Committee had gained.

The Meng Meng Committee must have known about the progress of their expedition team, but as a person outside the guild, they had no choice but to go to the dock to inquire.

The Meng Meng Committee’s expedition ship was a two-masted sailing ship.

After docking, Cyber saw several familiar figures getting off the ship.

Hefan, Optimist, Hulu, Chopin, etc., were all well-known figures on the leaderboard.

He leaned over and heard Optimist, the poorest player in the server, talking excitedly with someone:

“That’s right! We went south along the coast and finally bypassed the Death Desert! From there we can go directly to the southernmost part of the Death Desert!”

“How long? About twenty days… It’s quite time-consuming anyway, not as convenient as a teleportation array.”

“However, when we went further east, it didn’t work. It seemed that we were about to reach the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Aeris. We tried it and the boat could pass, but we couldn’t. If there wasn’t an NPC on the boat steering the ship, we would probably have fallen into the water…”

“If our judgment is correct, we should be able to build a sea trade route from Milovia to the Kingdom of Aeris that bypasses the Death Desert. However… considering that there is already the Vimur River and the teleportation array, it doesn’t seem to be of much use.”

“But if we can build a big ship, maybe it will be a bit helpful. If we use the teleportation array for large items, the consumption of magic stones will be quite high.”

“West? The map to the west also has a border, about 20 kilometers away. After 20 kilometers away from the shore, it is the end of the map. However, it may be that the new map has not been opened yet…”

“You don’t know, it’s so beautiful! The scenery is so beautiful! Including the Death Desert on the shore! There is a large red stone mountain over there! It is next to the sea and it is particularly dreamy under the sunset!”

“And the sunrise over the sea is particularly charming! I will send you screenshots later!”

“Sea monster? We are not too far from the shore, but the captain said that he sensed that there are indeed many monsters in the sea. We also dived and killed some. They tasted pretty good.”

“Where is ‘I am invincible’? Uh… That guy can’t swim but he likes to show off. He accidentally drowned when we went into the sea. He should be drawing circles in the city on the top of the mountain now.”

“By the way, we encountered a giant whale once! It is estimated that its strength must be at least gold rank. Let me show you the screenshot!”

“Elf? Alas… I didn’t find it. There are no islands overseas. To be honest, I thought it was unreliable to find elves from the beginning.”

…

I also think it is unreliable.

Cyber said in his heart.

He could understand why those big guilds wanted to find the elves of Milovia so much, it was nothing more than for the possible plot missions.

There is a saying in “Elf Kingdom” that whoever can trigger the plot will get the upper hand over others.

After all, the rewards are too much.

However, as a semi-casual player, he doesn’t care much.

He is satisfied as long as he can keep up with the pace of the big group.

Just like now, he has reached the silver level on time. Although he is not one of the top players, when he meets most players on the road, he can enjoy the envious eyes of others.

You know, even with the recent surge in the number of silver players, there are only more than 50,000 people.

Top 10%!

Looking at the increasingly crowded dock, Cyber silently chanted a spell and cast [Atomization].

His eyes turned red in an instant, and the next second his whole body turned into a black smoke.

Then, the smoke blew away like the wind, and in just a few seconds it rushed out of the crowd, flew nearly a hundred meters away, and slowly took on a human form.

“Fuck! Atomization!”

“Blood elves… I’m so envious!”

Behind him, other players exclaimed.

Cyber couldn’t help but curl his lips, but soon cleared his throat and returned to a calm expression.

He continued to walk towards the temple.

Like other elf cities, the Temple of Life in Milovia is located in the center of the city.

Entering the temple, bypassing the players in the main hall who were staring at the goddess statue, he soon found the NPC priest in the temple with whom he had a good relationship, a lovely elf lady.

“Is it Mr. Cyber! Are you going to take another daily task today?”

The elf priest smiled.

Cyber nodded:

“Help me find one with a higher reward.”

“Okay, I’ll take a look!”

The elf priest nodded, and then looked straight ahead…

Cyber knew that the other party was checking the task system.

After a while, the elf priest retracted his gaze and smiled at Cyber:

“Is the task of collecting the ruins’ puffer mushrooms okay? Tomorrow, the church’s senior leaders will come to Milovia for an assessment and inspection. The ingredients in the temple are not enough. The chief priest wants to ask someone to go to the Titan ruins to collect some puffer mushrooms.”

Puffer mushrooms are the specialty of the nearby Titan ruins. Not only are they delicious, but they are also full of magic power. They are a kind of top-grade food and magic material.

Don’t underestimate a task of picking mushrooms. Puffer mushrooms grow very secretly. If you are not a player who is very sensitive to the smell, it is difficult to find them in the ruins.

“Reward?”

“It depends on the amount collected. 500 contribution points for 1 pound.”

“So many?”

Cyber was a little surprised.

Daily tasks are generally only one or two thousand contribution points, and can be completed in about half an hour.

Going to the ruins to collect puffer mushrooms will be a little troublesome, but the more you collect, the more rewards you will get. According to Cyber’s previous experience, if 500 contribution points are for 1 pound, I’m afraid it’s not a problem to earn thousands or even tens of thousands of contribution points this time!

“There aren’t many puffer mushrooms there now, so it’s not as convenient to pick them as before.”

The elf priest explained.

Cyber suddenly realized.

The priestess said so, so the easy-to-pick ones must have been picked by the group of animals that wander around every day.

After receiving the task from the priest, Cyber rushed to the Titan Ruins along the route in his memory.

The Titan Ruins near Milovia are not far from the city, and a teleportation array is specially set up to go directly to the city center, so Cyber arrived at his destination quickly.

Unlike other Titan Ruins, this Titan Ruins is not located in a different space, but buried underground. After Cyber paid the fee for using the teleportation array, he entered the ruins.

He hadn’t been to the ruins for a long time. The last time was two months ago, so he could only follow his vague memory to find the area where the puffer mushrooms were concentrated.

However, although he was prepared that the puffer mushrooms had been almost looted by the players, when he really came to the ruins, looking at the corner of the ruins that was so clean that it seemed to have been wiped once, Cyber couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

“Let’s go deeper.”

He shook his head.

This Titan ruins is not as big as other ruins, but perhaps because it is buried underground, the interior is more complicated.

At the same time, there are also many places that have collapsed and buried deep.

The deeper you go, the more likely you are to find new puffer mushrooms.

After searching for a while, Cyber finally found his target under a rock, a fat fungus that looked a bit like the Hericium erinaceus on Blue Star.

He looked delighted, picked it up, and then put it between his nose and used the hunter’s tracking skill.

This is the advantage of hunter players, the secret of finding things!

After using the skill, Cyber soon detected the scent of many puffer mushrooms. He followed the scent and searched one by one.

Cyber went deeper and deeper, and picked more and more puffer mushrooms.

Many places deep in the ruins have collapsed, but this is not difficult for Cyber. With the [Atomization Technique], he can get into any crack.

In order to find more puffer mushrooms, he misted again and again, got into one gap after another, and unknowingly came to a place where rocks were piled up.

At this time, Cyber looked at the small map and suddenly realized that he had unknowingly left the range of the ruins that the players had explored.

“The mist technique is really useful! Am I opening a new map?”

Cyber looked at the pile of boulders in front of him with a somewhat excited expression.

This place is located in the deepest part of the ruins, and no player has ever been here. If it weren’t for Cyber’s mist technique, he wouldn’t be able to reach here.

What surprised him most was that he found a large number of puffer mushrooms here!

“I made a profit!”

Cyber said in surprise.

Cyber greedily put the puffer mushrooms into his small storage ring, and he was in a good mood.

“There are also some under the stones!”

The tracking skill aimed at the bottom of the pile of stones.

Cyber took a deep breath, used the skill to move the stones away, and prepared to pick up the puffer mushrooms he had found.

However, when he moved the stone away and looked under it, his eyes narrowed slightly:

“Magic pattern?”

Under the stone, there was a complex pattern.

Only a corner was exposed, and the pattern extended to the surroundings and was covered by other stones.

Cyber’s mind moved, and he simply used his skills to move the stones in front of him one by one.

After he did everything, the full picture of the magic pattern was also revealed in front of him.

It was a circular magic circle.

This magic circle seemed to be quite old, and there were some debris piled on several magic nodes. Those should be invalid magic stones.

Cyber’s eyebrows jumped slightly:

“Sealing magic circle?”

He also learned some knowledge about magic circles. Although he was not proficient, he could operate it.

Although the patterns on this magic circle were slightly different from those he had learned, the meaning of the core runes was definitely “seal”!

In an instant, Cyber was excited. He felt that he might have found something incredible.

“Could it be… a treasure?”

He swallowed his saliva.

After thinking for a while, he took out a few magic stones from his storage ring and put them into the magic nodes of the magic circle.

Then, according to the method he learned to activate the magic circle, he input magic power into the magic circle.

The magic power entered the magic circle, and the entire dark underground ruins suddenly emitted a bright light.

It was the magic circle on the ground that was glowing.

This magic circle… is not damaged!

Cyber was delighted.

But the next moment, several magic stones on the magic circle turned into fragments with a click, and the entire magic circle dimmed.

Cyber was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

“Isn’t the magic power enough…”

He looked at this obviously old magic circle, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out a few high-quality magic crystal stones.

That was the “ammunition” given to him by the Mengmeng Committee when he participated in the Maple Leaf Territory War to control the magic crystal cannon. He didn’t use it up.

This time, the magic circle bloomed with a dazzling light!

Before Cyber could react, he felt a huge suction coming from the void, and the surroundings instantly turned into darkness.
