Game of the World Tree - Chapter 566
566. Chapter 564 The First City Falls
The warm sunshine spread across the land, and the cheerful chirping of birds echoed in the lush forest.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed in the world of Segos.
It was already early May, and the spring breeze was blowing across the land, and everything was thriving.
In the past month or so, the construction of a new city has always been a hot topic of discussion and concern among players.
The number of players participating in the construction has also remained high.
At the peak, there were nearly 250,000 players online at the same time in the entire server, participating in the construction at various city construction sites.
And the results were also remarkable.
With the assistance of magic, the speed of the city construction of the players in the Celestial Empire was quite terrifying.
The characteristics of the infrastructure maniac were once again brought to the extreme by them.
Under the leadership of the old players, the vast majority of the 200,000 new public beta players dedicated this month’s game time to the construction of the new city.
Construction tasks again and again have become their daily routine.
With such efforts, after just over a month, the fastest guild had almost completed the most critical infrastructure construction.
Including the Temple of Life, the Central Square, the City Hall, the Guild Residence, the Residential Area, the Commercial Area, and so on.
In other words, it has already met several official standards for city construction, and can welcome the goddess statue, establish a city management system, and formally apply to display the place name on the game map.
However, the guild group that first completed the basic construction was not the Mengmeng Committee as the players thought.
It was the Heart of Nature, which currently ranks first in comprehensive strength in the entire server.
However, if someone visits the city construction sites of the two major guilds, they will understand why.
Although the Mengmeng Committee has rich experience in city construction, the city construction sites they chose are too challenging.
Building a city in the mountains is not an easy task even with the help of magic.
On the contrary, the Heart of Nature, which chose the river bend as the city construction site, has a flat terrain and is assisted by NPCs from all sides, is very fast.
On the eastern border of the Elf Forest, on the banks of the endless Vimur River.
A city with white stone buildings as the base and full of flowers and green grass has taken shape.
Gray Harbor.
This is the name given to her by the Heart of Nature Guild.
Eve put on the vest of Feng, rode the unicorn that she fostered in the Chosen City, stood under the wall of Gray Harbor, looked at the city in front of her that had only taken more than a month to build, and nodded secretly.
The wall of Gray Harbor has not been completely built yet, and now only a city gate has been built.
However, the foundation has been laid, and it only needs to be improved slowly.
This is a typical elf-style city, with traditional elf-style reliefs and patterns painted on the buildings. It is tall and majestic, exuding a kind of elegance and refinement, and even the city gate is no exception.
It is obvious that the Heart of Nature has spent a lot of effort this time to build an authentic elf city.
The roads in the city are also paved with white stone bricks, wide and straight, and extending in all directions.
Players coming and going shuttled through the city, and many of them were pushing wheelbarrows full of building materials, still busy.
Eve patted the unicorn under her, and the unicorn snorted, and then walked gracefully towards the city.
The city was still very empty.
The main roads have been built, but there are still many places that have not been developed.
Eve knew that it should be the planned land reserved by the players.
However, the further along the road you go into the city, the more buildings there are on both sides.
Some residential houses, commercial streets, taverns, blacksmith shops, and workshops have all been built.
Eve even saw some elves and half-elf believers.
She felt something in her heart and rode her unicorn over quietly.
After Eve approached, the conversations between believers also reached her ears:
“Hey, Phils, good morning.”
“Mist? Why are you here? Hasn’t the temple been built? Your trial mission should have been completed, right? You can apply to the church to purify your blood and become a real elf.”
“Hey, praise the great Goddess Eve! The temple has indeed been built, and the church has informed me that I can go to Florence to purify my blood. However, I thought about it, and it seems that it would be nice to stay here, and after the temple here is built, I can also perform the blood purification ceremony directly here.”
“Huh? Are you planning to settle down here?”
“Yeah, hehe, I’ve been helping here for so many days, and I feel that I have fallen in love with this place, so I don’t plan to leave.”
“But I remember that you were planning to stay in Kenolan and become a priest who guides people between the two worlds? And for this, you even passed the priest trial.”
“That was my previous thought. Now I feel that Grey Harbor is not bad, and I am optimistic about its future! As for being a priest, it is also possible to be one here. The Chosen Ones have also invited me to stay. After I purify my blood, I can serve as a priest of the temple in Grey Harbor!”
“So you were invited too?”
“You too?”
“Yes, haven’t I been helping to make tools here these days? After a long time, I became familiar with the Chosen Ones, so they invited me to stay here in the future and be a craftsman NPC or something, and they also assigned me a craftsman shop!”
“That’s great! They also said that I can choose a villa here. I have already thought about it. After I settle down here, if life is good, I will bring Alia and the others over, and then build a small garden behind the villa, just like in my hometown!” “
Alia? Has she purified her blood too?”
“Yes, now she and Millie have come to the upper realm, and are now undergoing trials in Kenoran!”
“That’s great! Now you’re a member of the whole family.”
“We still have to thank the goddess. This is all the goddess’s gift! She has granted us a longer lifespan and stronger abilities, and allowed us to come to a wider world!”
“Praise the goddess!”
“Praise the goddess!”
“Haha, no more words, I have to finish this work quickly, and then go to the square to watch the city-building ceremony!”
“Let’s go together!”
…
“It turns out that they are half-plane elves who plan to settle here.”
After listening for a while, Eve knew what was going on.
With the explosive growth of her followers in the Orros demiplane, more and more elves and half-elves have reached the qualifications and chosen to purify their blood.
As the guide to help these elves and half-elves “ascend”, the Nature’s Heart Guild pulled them over to help after the city was built.
As they helped, these elves and half-elves seemed to plan to settle here.
Yes, although the Grey Harbor has not been fully built, anyone can see that it will become a beautiful city.
It is normal for some elves and half-elves who have not yet settled down to be attracted.
And for the players, this is also a welcome thing.
Even the Chosen City cannot be operated by players alone, let alone the Grey Harbor.
Inviting some elves to live in the city, take up some positions, and become city NPCs can solve many problems.
Apart from other things, if enough NPCs are attracted, the Grey Harbor NPC private tasks alone can meet the daily needs of the players.
In a sense, it is a win-win situation.
The population of the Orros demiplane is millions, and for the residents of the demiplane with lower energy levels, the world of Segos is still quite attractive to them.
In the future, there will be more and more purified elves coming to the world of Segos.
Although Kenoran can be their settlement after “ascension”, one city is not enough. It is also a good development direction to integrate them into the city of players.
At the same time, the believers who settle in the city can also provide the power of faith for the statues enshrined in the city to ensure that the city’s divine defense system can operate normally.
“In the future, I’m afraid these seven cities will not only be the cities of players.”
Eve smiled.
If that’s the case, it’s pretty good.
Feeling happy, Eve patted the unicorn under her and continued to walk towards the center of the city.
The central urban area of Gray Harbor was built by the river.
When Eve came to the center of the city, the scene in front of her was much more prosperous than the area near the city gate.
Not only are the buildings denser, but the number of players is also increasing.
The center of the city is a square built by the river, and on the side of the square facing the river is a dock that has already taken shape.
The dock is planned to be large, and you can vaguely feel the importance of the Heart of Nature. They really plan to develop it into an important port city.
Eve even saw several merchant ships flying the flag of the human world by the river.
On the other side of the square, there was a magnificent building that was still under construction, which looked like both a palace and a castle.
That was the headquarters of the Nature’s Heart Guild under construction.
At the same time, the Temple of Life was also built there.
The temple had been built, and a large number of players were gathering in the square, and Eve even saw many familiar figures among them.
Such as Li Mu, Demacia, Meng Zhihan, and Zhu Zhuo, etc.
They were all senior members of the Nature’s Heart Guild.
In addition, there were more players, elves, and half-elves coming from all over.
Eve even saw some short dark dwarves.
Today was a special day.
At least… for the players of the Nature’s Heart Guild and the local natives who planned to settle here in the future.
Gray Harbor had met the basic requirements and could apply to officially enshrine the goddess statue and register it on the map.
Eve did not approach the crowd, but looked at it from a distance.
She saw Alice, the Saint of Life, walk out of the brand new temple, and together with several other elf priests, welcomed a nearly five-meter-high goddess statue into the temple.
The statue had been blessed by Eve and could serve as a node in the faith network.
Along with the statue, there was a translucent square crystal that was gleaming with a hazy light.
That was the city’s defense core, which was built and bestowed by Eve herself in the Kingdom of God.
This would be the core of the Grey Harbor divine defense barrier.
The distant sound of prayer came from the direction of the temple, and Eve faintly heard the prayers of the believers.
It was from Alice.
This was the oracle Eve gave her. If the city built by the Chosen One met the conditions for the city to fall, she would pray to Him, and He would bless the new city.
Of course, the Saint Lady would never have thought that the goddess she prayed to devoutly was standing outside the crowd in a vest and peeping at them at this moment…
After hearing the prayer, Eve did not hesitate, but immediately contacted the faith network and responded.
In an instant, the statue of the goddess bloomed with brilliant light.
Under the excited eyes of the players, in the fanatical sight of the elves and half-elves, dots of green photons fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Gray Harbor.
The next moment, the flowers, plants and trees that had been transplanted in the city not long ago suddenly grew rapidly, and while growing, they followed a certain trajectory in the dark…
Soon, the whole city became lush and green.
Flowers bloomed and the greenery was lush, but it was not abrupt.
At the same time, the players and believers in the city also felt a gentle and warm power pouring into their bodies.
The players were surprised to find that their experience points suddenly soared, and those players who reached the maximum level received buffs one after another.
The believers clearly felt that their bodies became healthier and their strength became stronger.
This is the blessing of the goddess of life.
Soon, cheers and praises came from the square.
On the other side, in the game system, all online players heard a slight sound of the system at the same time.
A new piece of news appeared in their vision:
[Ding——]
[The Nature Heart Guild has completed the construction of the new city’s infrastructure, and the new city has been added to the game map]
[The new city is named——]
[Gray Harbor]
[Gray Harbor City Lord: Li Mu]
[Ding——]
[The teleportation array from the Chosen City to Gray Harbor has been opened]
At the same time, the players found that the small map in the upper right corner of their vision had changed.
To the east of the Elf Forest, on the west bank of the Vimur River, there was a new city sign.
On it, in beautiful fonts, it was written——
“Gray Harbor”!
This time, it was completely officially certified.
Then, cheers from the players came from the square.
After that, it was the celebration.
The players who had held countless parties in the Chosen City had already had experience, and all kinds of food had been served.
However, Eve had already planned to leave.
She didn’t plan to continue watching, nor did she plan to participate in the celebration.
There were still six cities, and each one would probably have to celebrate, so she didn’t have to participate in every one.
It was enough to occasionally have a night barbecue on weekdays.
Seeing the city officially completed and everything going according to plan, she was very satisfied.
Next, she had another important thing to do.
“The first new city has been completed, and we can open the map of the World Tree Kingdom later.”
“But we have to wait a little longer, until the city of the first legion is completed, then it will be better to open it.”
Damn, the network card reached midnight…
