Game of the World Tree - Chapter 702

702. Chapter 699 Elf

Divine Defense Barrier?

Aren’t these humanoid monsters elves?

Looking at the familiar light in the distance, Cyber suddenly fell into doubt again.

Although he was not a test player, he had played the game for more than a year and thought he was quite familiar with “Elf Kingdom”.

In the setting of “Elf Kingdom”, only believers of the true god can deploy the divine defense barrier with the help of the statue. Without the blessing and favor of the true god, the divine defense barrier cannot operate.

The divine defense barrier here means that there is a true god behind these humanoid monsters.

But elves… can’t believe in other gods besides the goddess.

Unless, this divine defense barrier belongs to the goddess.

That’s even stranger.

If it is really the goddess’s divine defense barrier, then according to the goddess’s kindness, how could she allow a group of elf believers to live in such a place?

Even turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance?

However, this familiar architectural style, the friendly elven language, and the elf-like stature and pointed ears all prove that these humanoid monsters are elves!

So… what is going on?

Could it be that these elves really surrendered to other gods?

Could their ugly appearance also be due to this reason?

Cyber was puzzled.

But no matter what, he became alert and prepared for the worst.

“I must be careful before I figure out the situation.”

Cyber thought to himself.

“Unsullied! Follow up!”

Just as Cyber stared blankly at the city in the distance, a hoarse voice came from the front.

It was the monster named Dore.

While Cyber was in a daze, the team had already walked away.

Unsullied?

Cyber was slightly stunned.

Hearing Dore’s scolding, the dozen monsters in front stopped at the same time and looked back at Cyber who was standing there.

Being stared at quietly by more than a dozen terrifying monsters, for a moment… Cyber felt his scalp tingling.

He swallowed his saliva, forced a smile, and hurried to follow.

Seeing Cyber catch up, the monsters continued to move forward.

The old monster in robes at the head frowned at Cyber and scolded him with some dissatisfaction:

“Don’t fall behind, don’t be careless, the danger will not completely disappear before entering the city!”

Although the old monster’s tone was very impolite.

But Cyber was slightly startled when he heard it.

He could feel a trace of care in the other party’s words, just like an elder scolding a younger generation.

For a moment, Cyber felt a little warm in his heart.

“These monsters… although they look scary and full of evil spirits, they don’t seem to be bad?”

“And… what are the Unsullied? Are you talking about me? Is it because I don’t have pustules and tumors on my body?”

He couldn’t help but think in his heart.

Following the monsters that looked like elves, Cyber walked towards the city gate.

The surroundings were very quiet, with only the panting and footsteps of a group of people.

This made Cyber, who was always used to the background BGM, feel an inexplicable sense of depression.

He couldn’t help but look at the time in the system, wanting to see how long he had entered this mysterious world, but was shocked to find that the electronic watch in the system seemed to have gone crazy.

It’s not that it won’t move at all, but it’s like it’s been disturbed, it’s very stuck, it only jumps once every half a day, and it can’t be used to count at all.

Reluctantly retracting his sight, Cyber simply gave himself a buff of [Enhanced Perception], which lasts for up to 20 minutes, just right for counting.

At this time, the group finally arrived in front of the city gate.

The city gate is nearly 30 meters high and looks very old. It feels more dilapidated than the ruins in the Elf Forest.

It is tightly closed, covered with claw marks and black bloodstains, and even the walls on both sides are the same.

This made Cyber have to wonder if the city is often besieged by some mysterious creatures.

When he looked at the claw marks carefully, he keenly found that some of them were very familiar, and seemed to be exactly the same as the marks left by the demons in the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

“This… is it the claw marks of the devil?”

Cyber’s heart moved slightly.

While he was curiously looking at the city gate and the city wall, the old monster standing at the front of the team shouted to the top of the city gate:

“Castle, open the door, we are back.”

After a few seconds, Cyber saw a figure peeking out from above the city gate, also an ugly monster.

He showed a surprised and horrified expression and said excitedly:

“Lord Gando, you are back!”

After that, he disappeared above the city gate again, and after a while, the city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

At this time, Cyber noticed that the structure of this city gate was far from as simple as it looked from the outside. It was not just one layer, but three layers inside and three layers outside, composed of several city gates. The overall thickness was at least 20 meters, and the defense was amazing.

“Let’s go into the city.”

The old monster named Gando said.

Following the group, Cyber entered the city gate, and after they entered the city, the city gates behind him slowly closed again layer by layer.

Passing through the dark city gate, the eyes gradually brightened.

Cyber officially entered this dilapidated city.

The buildings in the city are lined up one after another, extending radially towards the center of the city, and the terrain is getting higher and higher.

The streets are winding and paved with dilapidated stone slabs, which is the same style as those elven cities in the Elf Forest.

At the end of the road, in the center of the basin, which is also the highest place in the entire city, a tall temple can be vaguely seen.

The appearance of the temple is exactly the same as the pre-renovation temples in Milovia and Florence. The central light column of the light golden divine defense barrier rises from there.

This is a real elven city.

Except for the dilapidated and heavy city walls, it is no different from Milovia and Florence.

The city was a bit deserted, with few pedestrians on the streets, and most of the few who were there were in a hurry.

Most of the houses on both sides of the street had their doors closed, but you could see windows with lights on.

It was obvious that the city was not without residents, but most of them were hiding at home.

However, near the city wall, there were quite a few people, and a large number of humanoid monsters in tattered armor were climbing up the city wall, looking hurried.

It was as if they were preparing for war.

This reminded Cyber of the claw marks on the city wall he had just seen, and the black tide mentioned by the old monster named Gando…

Gando glanced at the sky. Above the sky, the lightning had completely disappeared, and only the dark clouds were getting thicker under the shining light of the divine arts.

His eyes were a little solemn.

“The black tide is coming, everyone go home quickly, and those on duty should take a rest before going to the city wall for rotation.”

He turned and said to everyone.

After that, he looked at Cyber again, and said to the skinny monster beside Cyber:

“Dore, take this Unsullied to hide at home first. After the black tide passes, I will take him to the temple to meet Lady Aurora.”

After that, he looked up and down at the skinny monster again, his eyes paused on the abscess on his body that was festering more and more seriously, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

“Don’t participate in the defense, just accompany Estelle.”

The skinny monster Dore was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Gando retracted his gaze, but before he turned around, he paused slightly, hesitated, and suddenly threw a dagger that was shining with silver light to Cyber.

Cyber was stunned and took it subconsciously.

It was a dagger engraved with complex magic patterns, and it seemed to be made of mithril. Cyber habitually identified it and was surprised to find that it was a silver-level dagger rated as purple epic, and it also had the special effect of purification.

“Take this, use it for self-defense, and when necessary… don’t hesitate.”

Gando said.

Self-defense? Hesitation?

Cyber was stunned.

Didn’t they say that it was safe in the city?

Gando didn’t say anything more, but turned around and walked towards the direction of the temple.

Others also left in a hurry, and soon only Cyber and Dore were left.

Cyber opened his mouth, wanting to say that he also wanted to go to the temple.

According to past experience, the temple is definitely the place with the richest intelligence.

Although it is unknown which true god these monsters that look like elves believe in, from Cyber’s observation of them, they should not be evil gods.

If they are not evil gods, then that’s easy to say. Anyway, he is the chosen one and cannot expose the information of the goddess. The best choice at this time is to go to the temple to investigate.

However, looking at the monster Dore with a cold look and a strong breath, Cyber finally didn’t say it.

“Follow me.”

The monster Dore said hoarsely.

After that, he took the lead and walked to the side of the street.

Cyber hesitated for a moment, and finally had to follow.

The lightning on the sky stopped, and the dark clouds rolled more and more violently.

The whistling wind began to blow in the city, like the howling of evil spirits. A faint mist began

to spread in the city. Even with the light of the divine defense barrier, the visibility was getting lower and lower.

A feeling of uneasiness began to spread in Cyber’s heart.

He shuddered and subconsciously walked faster. He felt relieved after following Dore closely.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Dore finally stopped in front of a dilapidated elf building. However, Cyber noticed that the light coming out of the window of this house was much brighter than that of other houses around.

Dore walked to the door, and his eyes between the tumors showed a hint of tenderness. He stretched out his right hand, whose nails had become sharp, and gently knocked on the door. His movements were very gentle.

“Knock… knock… knock…”

“Who?!”

A crisp and tender voice came from inside the door, with a hint of timidity, like a frightened little rabbit.

“Esther, it’s me.”

Dore said hoarsely.

However, although it was hoarse, it was unprecedentedly gentle, which made Cyber couldn’t help but look at him.

The next second, accompanied by a creaking sound, a gap appeared in the door.

The light came out, and Cyber seemed to see a pair of big ice-blue eyes, shining and flashing under the light.

Then, the pair of bright big eyes suddenly became brighter.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside, and a petite figure jumped out like a happy little deer, rushed into Dore’s arms, and cheered in surprise:

“Dad!”

The voice was sweet and crisp.

Looking at the petite figure rushing out, Cyber widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

It was a young girl, like a human child of eleven or twelve years old.

She was wearing an ill-fitting and shabby robe and barefoot.

Unlike Dore, who was covered with pustules and tumors, she had the same delicate skin as Cyber, a delicate and lovely side profile, and aqua blue hair draped behind her, youthful and beautiful.

It was like an angel descended from the sky.

The lights in the house shone on her and Dore, and the beautiful girl formed a sharp contrast with the ugly monster, creating a strong visual impact.

Looking at the girl’s pointed ears, Cyber’s eyes fixed.

“Elf!”

He couldn’t help but mutter.

Elf!

This girl who called the monster Dore dad was actually a young elf!

Moreover, judging from her hair color and eye color, she was an elf from the frost tribe, which was rare in the Elf Forest!

At this time, Cyber couldn’t help but look at Dore carefully again, and then he noticed that his dry and sparse hair was also faintly aqua blue, and his turbid eyes had the same luster as the girl.

He… might be an elf.

And he was also an elf of the Frost Tribe.

At this time, Cyber no longer had a trace of doubt in his heart.

There was no doubt that the true identity of these hideous and terrifying monsters was just as he guessed…

they were all elves!

A light flashed through his mind, and Cyber suddenly remembered another past event he had heard from the elves of the Flame Tribe in Florence…

The main elf tribe that once lived in the coastal city of Milovia was the Frost Tribe!

With this thought, Cyber suddenly looked at the two people, his expression was uncertain. Are

they…

the missing elves of Milovia? !

The elf girl who threw herself into Dore’s arms looked surprised.

However, the monster Dore looked a little flustered.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to push the girl away, but hesitated for a moment, wiped it on his body again, and wrapped the scary-looking hands with the cloth on his clothes, and then… he gently pushed the girl away from his arms.

“Esther… don’t touch me, it’s dirty.”

His voice was hoarse and soft.

“Daddy is not dirty! Daddy has worked hard hunting!”

The girl said in a sweet and innocent voice.

After that, she pretended to pounce again, like a naughty deer jumping in the forest.

But this time, Dore dodged it.

He rubbed the girl’s hair with his hands wrapped in cloth strips, and said in a hoarse and gentle voice:

“Come… into the house, it’s… not safe outside.”

“Yeah, Esther, listen to Daddy!”

The elf girl nodded.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Cyber curiously.

At this time, Cyber discovered that the other half of the girl’s face also had layers of tumorous wrinkles, like scars from a burn, which ruined a face that should have been pure and beautiful.

He was startled, but looking at the girl’s pure and flawless eyes and the bright light in her eyes, a little sourness inexplicably emerged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and showed a friendly smile.

“Guest.”

Dore pointed at Cyber and said.

_(:з」∠)_ I had something to do during the day, so I didn’t update today. Sorry.

I need to polish this plot and try to write it better.
