Game of the World Tree - Chapter 562

562. Chapter 560 Site Selection

When the players entered the temple, they saw Alice, the Saint of Nature, standing in front of the statue of the goddess, praying devoutly.

The players were already used to this.

Alice was a permanent NPC in the Chosen City.

Although her status as a saint rose with the increase in the population of the Elf Forest, she still liked to ring the bell of the temple every day, and cleaned and prayed in the morning day after day.

Not long after the players entered the temple, Alice also finished her daily prayers.

She turned around, looked at the people entering the temple, and then smiled gently:

“Dear Chosen, please follow me.”

After that, she took the lead and walked towards the attached meeting room of the main hall.

The players looked at each other, and then followed with expectation…

The meeting room was not far away, and it was around the hall of the main hall.

Alice came to the door of the meeting room, knocked gently, and then said:

“Lord Zero, the Chosen are here.”

“Come in.”

The somewhat cold voice of Zero, the God’s Favored One, rang in the meeting room.

Hearing this voice, all the players, including Li Mu, perked up and looked expectant.

If Alice, the Saint of Life, has a high status within the church, then Zero, the God’s Favored One, is definitely transcendent.

As the closest to the true God and the strongest combat force in the Forest of Elves, she is the de facto leader in some major plots.

Even Alice has long been accustomed to helping Zero, the God’s Favored One.

In the eyes of the players, Zero, the God’s Favored One, is also the purple NPC with the highest gold content, and can be called a walking tool for the main plot tasks.

The term “big sister” comes from this.

The players followed Alice and quickly entered the conference room.

Many of them were not entering this conference room for the first time.

In each previous main task, when making plot decisions, the NPC and the players made them here.

Before the Death War began, there was even a huge Death Desert sand table made by the players in the conference room.

The players’ battle plans were all completed here.

Of course, now that the war is over, the orcs either surrendered or fled, and the sand table has long been removed and restored to the appearance of a conference table.

The God-favored Zero was sitting on the other side of the conference table, smiling at the players entering the conference room.

Next to her sat another NPC that most players were familiar with, another God-favored of the Elf Forest – El Moonlight.

This young elf, who looked like a little adult, was sitting upright at the conference table with a serious expression.

“Please take a seat, everyone.”

God-favored Zero said, pointing to the seats around the conference table.

The players took their seats without hesitation.

During this process, Eve, wearing the God-favored Zero vest, looked at everyone calmly, and couldn’t help muttering in her heart:

“There are fewer than expected, there are only seven groups…”

Although she knew the final result the moment the players paid their contributions, she was still a little surprised to see only seven players entering the conference room.

Seven players represent seven guilds or guild alliances, which are seven cities.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems understandable.

Of the 200,000 new public beta players that poured in, only about two-thirds were actually absorbed by the old guilds, and the remaining one-third chose to establish their own new guilds.

Among the large and small guilds, there is a trend that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Many large guilds develop like snowballs, which makes a considerable number of players concentrate on the top guilds with the four major guilds as the core.

Correspondingly, the power of small and medium-sized guilds is more scattered and weaker.

In this case, it is normal that only seven player groups applied to build a city in the end.

Among the seven player groups, the four major guilds, Heart of Nature, First Legion, Cute Committee and Scourge Knights (Autobots), accounted for four.

The remaining three are guild alliances.

Eve took a look in the system.

Among the three guild alliances, two were organized by first-class guilds second only to the four major guilds.

Among them, one is called the All-Star Alliance, and the name of the guild it initiated is All-Star.

The other is called the Azeroth Guild Alliance, and the initiator is the Silver Hand.

In addition to these two, there is also a guild alliance formed by more than 50 small and medium-sized guilds. The name of the alliance made Eve’s mouth twitch slightly. It is called Long Live the Goddess. The initiator is a small guild called Eve Goddess Support Group…

Looking back at the conference table, Eve gestured to Alice who was sitting on her right, and Alice nodded and smiled at the players opposite:

“Good morning, brave chosen ones.”

“Since everyone is sitting here, it means that you are ready to lead your companions to open up a new city.”

“However, the construction site of the new city is not decided at random.”

“By praying to the goddess for revelation, we have obtained some of the most suitable locations for building cities. These places either have rich resources, or have extremely important strategic positions, or have great development space…”

“And the new city needs to be selected in these locations.”

After listening to Saint Alice’s words, several players were not surprised.

There are location restrictions for building a city, which has long been explained in the update log.

In the previous supplementary log, the official website has already announced the more than 20 city construction locations on the website, and the players have long known about it.

In fact, they all had already made their choices in their hearts.

Seeing the players nodding, Alice’s smile softened.

She turned her head to look at Eve, who nodded slightly and stretched out her hand to snap her fingers.

A strange magical wave was released from her body. In the surprised eyes of the players, an illusory map with the Elf Forest as the center, including the Dark Mountains and the Death Desert, appeared on the conference table.

On the map, more than 20 green dots flashed.

The players recognized it one after another. It was the location of the city announced by the official website.

“This is the location suitable for building a city in the Oracle. Please choose it, Chosen Ones.”

“Whenever a city building point is selected, a point will be determined on the map, and the light point near this city building point will disappear.”

“Chosen Ones, you can think about it and tell me your choice in ten minutes.”

Eve said, and stopped talking.

The seven players sitting in front of them, a new system message appeared:

[Ding——]

[Please decide on your city building location in ten minutes]

[After the selection is opened, each guild alliance will choose the city building location in order according to the comprehensive strength ranking of the strongest guild in the alliance]

[The countdown begins…]

Similar to the personal rankings, the guild rankings of “Elf Kingdom” are also divided into many categories, including guild reputation rankings, guild contribution rankings, guild player number rankings, guild combat power rankings, guild comprehensive strength rankings…

However, the most valuable is the comprehensive strength ranking.

This is a ranking that takes into account the number of players, quality, and contribution, and is obtained through weight addition.

The reason why the four major guilds are called the four major guilds is that they not only have a large number of people, but also leave other guilds far behind in this ranking list.

Among them, the guild with the highest comprehensive ranking is the Heart of Nature, followed by the First Legion, the Cute Committee ranks third, and the Scourge Knights are at the end.

The gap between the top three guilds is very small, and they often overtake each other.

The Scourge Knights, established by the third test players, are somewhat different from them.

However, even if there is a gap, it is still stronger than the guilds in the other three guild alliances.

In addition to the four major guilds, the remaining three guild alliances are the All-Star Alliance, the Azeroth Alliance, and the Goddess Alliance according to the ranking of their main guilds.

Although they were somewhat surprised at the mode of choosing the location for the city, this mode was indeed fair, and they had no complaints.

In other words, the guilds ranked behind would be more worried that the location they liked would be picked up.

The more than 20 locations for the city also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and before coming here, the players had already analyzed the pros and cons.

For example, the northern area of the Elf Forest with many Warcraft, the eastern border with developed river transportation, and the northwest with rich magic resources are all popular locations.

Most likely, the top three guilds have taken over.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

When the countdown ended, the players heard the slightly cold voice of Zero, the God’s Favored One, again:

“Time is up, all the Chosen Ones, please make your own choices.”

“The first one is the Heart of Nature.”

After saying that, she looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu’s expression was a little tangled.

He looked at the north of the Elf Forest, then at the eastern border, frowning and scratching his head.

Not knowing which one to choose is also a happy trouble.

However, after hesitating for a while, he finally chose a green dot on the eastern border adjacent to the Vimur River.

It was a river bend with flat terrain and a large river beach, which was very suitable for building a port city.

After he made his choice, the players noticed that the light group turned from green to red, and several other green light spots on the eastern border and nearby went out.

This means that a second city will not be built in this area.

After Li Mu finished choosing, it was the turn of the guild leader of the First Legion, Tomato Fried Tomato.

As expected, he chose a green dot at the northernmost end of the Elf Forest.

The First Legion was originally a field guild, and many members were keen on adventure and fighting. The northern area of the Elf Forest was originally a place where they often appeared, and it was natural to choose to build a city here.

Next, it was the Mengmeng Committee.

When it was his turn, Xiao Xianmao did not hesitate, but pointed on the map very neatly.

However, just when other players thought that the guild leader of the Meng Meng Committee would choose the northwest area of the Elf Forest among the three most popular locations, a green dot in the Dark Mountains turned red.

At the same time, the other two green dots nearby also went out.

Seeing this scene, the players were a little surprised.

Dark Mountains…

It’s more troublesome to build a city there, right?

Moreover, the resources there are also relatively scarce,

right? It’s just that the strategic position is more important…

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that only the Meng Meng Committee dares to do this.

After all, the title of the national construction team of “Elf Kingdom” is not exaggerated.

After the Meng Meng Committee, it was the Scourge Knights. This time, as expected by others, the guild leader, Shapeshifter Ji Gang, happily chose the last of the three popular locations – the northwest area of the Elf Forest.

The remaining three guild alliances can only choose in other areas.

Finally, All Star chose the westernmost part of the Elf Forest.

The players have not yet explored the area, but according to some big players, it is very likely close to one of the seven large cities in the Elven Kingdom – Milovia, a beautiful coastal city (see Chapter 266 for details).

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be a ruin now.

The Azeroth Alliance chose the southern and western area of the Elven Forest, which happens to be the center of Kenoran and Rivendell.

As for the Goddess Long Live the Alliance, it chose a place closer to the core area, about 200 kilometers north of the World Tree, which is in a triangular distribution with the site of the First Legion and the site of the Scourge Knights.

At this point, the location of the seven cities has been completely determined.

Looking at the result of this choice, Eve was quite satisfied.

She gestured to the God-favored Ai’er, and Ai’er took out seven leaves emitting golden halos and handed them to the seven players.

“This is a leaf of the World Tree, and also the City Lord’s Order. It has been blessed by the goddess and represents the identity of the City Lord.”

“Whoever holds this leaf will have the qualification to open a new city, and can also communicate directly with the goddess through it, and get help from the goddess in the process of building the city.”

Eve said.

Communicate with the goddess, get help from the goddess?

The players’ eyes lit up.

They took the leaf expectantly.

The leaf was as big as a palm, much smaller than the leaves that the players saw on the World Tree, but the appearance was exactly the same.

However, it was golden.

It didn’t look like a leaf in the hand, but it felt heavy like jade.

The players’ hearts moved, and they subconsciously opened [Identification].

[City Lord’s Order (Legendary Artifact·Golden Legend)]

[This is a real artifact made of the leaves of the World Tree, which has been blessed by the goddess Eve·Uktrasil and has strange abilities…]

[With it, you have wealth and power! ]

Oh my god, a legendary… legendary artifact?

The players widened their eyes and subconsciously opened their mouths.

This is quite amazing.

Then, they all heard a system sound.

In their game system, the city construction and city lord system were completely unlocked.

After that, they could call on other players to participate in the city construction by issuing tasks, and appoint an officially recognized city manager after the city was built!

“Chosen One, I wish you good luck in building the city.”

Eve smiled slightly.

Hiss… I feel that this chapter is a bit watery
