Game of the World Tree - Chapter 575

575. Chapter 573 Do you think it’s scary or not?

The northwest border of the Holy Mannia Empire, Fort Kolin.

As a fortress built to resist the invasion of the northern orcs, this military town has always been an important pass in the west of the empire. It is connected to the snow-capped grasslands in the north and the Vimur River in the west. The number of its garrisons once reached 100,000, and they are all the elite of the empire.

However, the internal friction of the empire in recent decades has gradually consumed the national strength, and it can no longer support such a fortress in the bitter cold land of the west.

In addition, the relationship between humans and orcs has gradually eased in recent years, and the top leaders of the empire have gradually lost the intention to maintain the garrison in Fort Kolin, so it has gradually been abandoned.

Nowadays, there are less than 5,000 garrisons in this military town, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the city itself has become a place for some merchants to trade with orcs-

this is thanks to the small Vimur River wharf in Fort Kolin.

However, Fort Kolin’s geographical location is too remote.

Even though it has become a communication node between humans and orcs, there is no popularity here except in autumn, and it has always been a decayed and deserted appearance.

Originally… it should be like this.

At this moment, the western dock of Fort Kolin

was bustling with people coming and going.

There was more than one merchant ship parked at the dock, and a large number of adventurers, bounty hunters, down-and-out nobles, and some gorgeously dressed vendors gathered on the shore.

It looked like a prosperous and bustling commercial port.

On the shore, a strong and mighty warrior was strolling by the river.

Behind him followed a fully armed and fierce orc follower, looking respectful.

And beside him, there was a ragged adventurer who was saying something enthusiastically…

“Sir, I know you have an extraordinary origin as soon as I saw your clothes. Are you also here for the ruins of the gods on the other side of the river?”

He asked flatteringly.

“Relics of the gods?”

The tall warrior paused slightly and glanced at the adventurer.

As if encouraged, the adventurer became more excited.

He chuckled and patted his chest:

“To be honest, sir, I have been in Kolinburg for more than three months and have been to the ruins of the gods twice. As long as you can reward me with ten gold pounds, I will tell you everything I know!”

The tall warrior did not comment, but glanced at the orc behind him with his peripheral vision.

The orc sneered at the adventurer, took out a ten-pound gold coin from his arms and threw it to him.

The adventurer’s eyes lit up and he quickly put it away, then said enthusiastically:

“Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! What do you want to know?”

“Tell me the news inside the ruins.”

The warrior said in a deep voice.

The adventurer nodded:

“Sir, speaking of this ruins of the gods… It is actually the kingdom of the world tree that fell a thousand years ago. There are corpses everywhere, buried with many treasures of the dead, and many precious magical plants!”

“Many people who went in and out have made a fortune!”

He described with a beaming face.

“Oh? But I heard that this ruins seems to have been designated as the sphere of influence of the elves. Anyone who enters it will be an enemy of the elves and the goddess of life.”

The tall warrior raised his eyebrows and said.

The adventurer chuckled:

“Hey, that’s what he said, but there are so many people going in, how can the elves manage it? As for the true gods…weak beings like us can never enter the sight of the gods, right?”

“But when I went in, I ran into those crazy elves and had a fight with them. Don’t say…they are really fierce, and more insidious than many adventurers! More cunning than the devil!”

“Crazy elves?”

The tall warrior paused.

Seeing that the sponsor was interested in this topic, the adventurer immediately opened up:

“That’s right! Crazy elves!”

“Hey, sir, you should have heard about the underground world war two years ago, right? And the war of faith between the elves and orcs this spring.”

“It’s those elves!”

“These elves are very special. They fight like crazy, and they are very contradictory, undisciplined, and seem to be very disciplined. They don’t care about their lives and are very difficult to deal with. And I heard rumors that after they die, they seem to be able to sell their souls to the god of death and resurrect again! Do you think it’s scary?”

“By the way… the efficiency of this group of elves is also terrifying…”

“My lord, do you know? Winterfell, the elven city near the ruins, took only two months! There was nothing two months ago! They built it in just two months! And it has a divine defense barrier, it’s hard to beat it down, do you think it’s scary?”

The warrior listened and nodded:

“It’s very scary. I also heard that there are a lot of them, as if they appeared out of thin air in the elven forest.”

“Yes!”

The adventurer nodded heavily.

After nodding, he looked around and whispered:

“My lord, you mentioned that there are a lot of elves, as if they appeared out of thin air, so… do you know where these elves came from?”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, the tall warrior looked at the adventurer with a playful expression:

“From what you mean… you know?”

“Hey! My lord! Others don’t know about this, but I happen to know it! I heard it secretly before the fight between me and the elves in the ruins.”

The adventurer said excitedly.

Then, he lowered his voice and said:

“My lord, you don’t know… the reason why these elves seem to have appeared overnight is because they don’t belong to our world at all!”

“Don’t belong to our world?”

The tall warrior narrowed his eyes.

“That’s right!”

The adventurer nodded and continued:

“My lord, this is also the truth I have learned from many channels and combined with what I overheard. This is the only one…”

After he finished speaking, he looked around again and then winked at the warrior.

The warrior understood and gestured to the orc behind him.

The orc snorted coldly and threw another gold coin to the adventurer.

The adventurer was delighted and quickly accepted it, saying flatteringly:

“Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! You are so generous! Then I will tell you everything I know!”

Then, he lowered his voice again:

“Sir, this is the news I learned from the underground world. In the forest of elves, there is actually a hidden demiplane! A demiplane where many people live!”

“Demiplane?”

The warrior was slightly stunned, but seemed to remember something, and a hint of understanding flashed across his expression.

It’s just that the change in expression was too natural, which made it a little weird.

“Then what? What does this have to do with the elves?”

he asked.

“It’s a big deal!”

The adventurer patted his thigh.

He cleared his throat and continued:

“These humans… It is said that they are not ordinary humans. They have the blood of elves! They are descendants of elves! The elves in the Elf Forest are actually the descendants of these elves!”

“Hehe, sir, you may think this sounds unimaginable, but it is true! Because the goddess of life has a powerful artifact in her hand, called the Scepter of Life!”

“Legend has it that the Scepter of Life can create life and purify blood! These elves are actually purified by the Scepter of Life!”

“It is because these elves are transformed from humans that their personalities are different from other elves!”

“And… It is said that the goddess of life is on good terms with the god of death, and that is why… These elves even have abilities similar to those of the undead!”

“Do you think it is scary?”

The adventurer was excited.

The warrior seemed a little surprised when he heard it. He said with a smile:

“These things… A lot of them are secrets, right? How did you know?”

“That’s why it is exclusive! This is the truth I discovered by piecing together the information I got from various places at the risk of my life!”

The adventurer said proudly.

After hearing his words, the warrior sneered and finally shook his head:

“Mr. Adventurer, I have heard your exclusive secrets from different people for the fifth time today.”

The adventurer’s smile froze on his face.

The warrior waved his hand, and the orc behind him snorted coldly:

“Get lost!”

The adventurer’s expression changed after being frightened by the orc, and he walked away in disgrace.

Only the tall warrior was left shaking his head.

He walked to the dock and looked at the lush forest on the other side of the river with a calm look.

After seeing him and the orc behind him, several merchants in gorgeous clothes soon brightened up.

They smiled and flattered him, and immediately crowded around him, saying enthusiastically:

“Sir, do you need a map of the North District of the Elf Forest? This was drawn by an adventurer from our Chamber of Commerce who had escaped death. It records in detail several entrances to the World Tree Kingdom!”

“Sir, don’t listen to his nonsense! The entrance to the World Tree Kingdom is ever-changing, and there is no definite passage at all. However, our Chamber of Commerce has magic props that can detect spatial power. It only takes 500 pounds of gold coins to accurately find the location of the entrance to the Kingdom of God!”

“Sir! I have a magic scroll that specifically restrains evil elves! With only 300 pounds of gold coins, no elf can get close to you!”

“Sir, Sir…”

The vendors surrounded the tall warrior and were very enthusiastic.

As merchants, they all had very sharp eyes.

Although this warrior was very low-key, they could recognize that the material of his equipment was definitely extraordinary.

Not only that, this warrior also had a powerful orc follower, which showed that the other party had a great background.

Not everyone can suppress an orc follower, especially this orc follower who has a strong aura and is likely to have reached the gold level.

And to have such a powerful follower, anyone who is not stupid knows that this warrior is definitely a potential big moneymaker.

As long as you cater to his preferences, you will definitely make a lot of money!

As for how to cater to his preferences?

What else can the purpose of coming to Kolinburg during this period be other than the broken kingdom of God that fell into the forest on the other side of the river?

The merchants worked hard to introduce their products, but the quiet warrior was unmoved.

As these traveling merchants became more and more enthusiastic, he even frowned impatiently.

“Humph, you guys who are as wretched as goblins, get out!”

Noticing the warrior’s slightly changing expression, the orc follower beside him roared and scolded the merchants.

At the same time, he also unfolded his aura, pulled out a big red axe from his waist, and chopped it hard on the ground.

The powerful pressure was released, and not only the merchants, but also the adventurers around them changed their expressions.

“Red battle axe… He is the Mad Orc Hercules!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Mad Orc Hercules?

Hearing this name, everyone’s expression was stunned, and then they were filled with a layer of awe…

Hercules…

He was one of the legendary strongmen of the Orc Alliance!

Then, they all scattered and left.

Soon, a piece of open space was vacant nearby.

No merchants or even adventurers dared to stay nearby…

Seeing the deserted dock, the tall warrior looked helpless.

He sighed and said:

“Hercules, so many years have passed, and you are still so irritable.”

The orc called Hercules shook his head slightly:

“It’s these stupid mortals who are too noisy and disturbed the interest of His Majesty Atos.”

“Really? In fact, I think it’s interesting to watch them bargaining. It reminds me of the distant past…”

The tall warrior laughed and said indifferently.

But in his words, he didn’t mention the impatience that flashed between his eyebrows when he was entangled by the merchants just now.

After a moment’s silence, the tall warrior muttered to himself:

“Demiplane… humans… purified blood… is this the reason why the elves are growing rapidly?”

“But why do I always feel like something is wrong?”

As he spoke, he shook his head again:

“It’s a pity… these elves are personally protected by the Goddess of Life, otherwise we could capture an elf and pry out their secrets.”

“No wonder the True God asked me to take a closer look, this Goddess of Life… seems quite mysterious!”

After speaking, the tall warrior looked at the orc again:

“By the way, Hercules, how is the Death Desert?”

After hearing the warrior’s question, the orc’s expression was a little ugly:

“Not good, I have sent believers to gather faith, but the effect is very poor… many orcs are even hostile to our Lord’s preachers…”

“Hostile…”

The warrior was stunned, then sighed:

“That’s understandable. After all, it was you who drove them out in the first place.”

Hercules was speechless.

Seeing the orc silent, the tall warrior patted him on the shoulder:

“Okay, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s go to see the goddess of life first. It’s been a long time since I came to the world of Segus. I have delayed too long this time.”

The orc’s expression was serious:

“Okay, Lord Artos! Do you need to arrange a ship? From here directly to the heart of the Elf Forest, um… the elves seem to have built a port there, called Grey Harbor.”

“No need.”

The warrior shook his head.

“No need to be so troublesome, we can just go directly to the nearest elven city, as long as there is a temple.”

“Let’s go to Winterfell. I’m also curious about what this city that was built in two months looks like.”

I’m stuck… I’m

stuck when it comes to a new plot_(:з」∠)_
