Game of the World Tree - Chapter 752

752. Chapter 749: Her Majesty the Mother Goddess (Update)

After accepting the exploration mission issued by the goddess, the players landed on the ground.

“Then… in order to improve efficiency, let’s act separately. Everyone can communicate and share in the team channel at any time, and then choose a place to gather at sunset.”

Li Mu looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and said.

The players listened and nodded one after another.

It was now morning, and there was still more than half a day before sunset, enough time for them to inquire about a lot of information.

“Also, don’t be too playful, focus on the mission first.”

Li Mu added.

As he said that, he glanced at Demacia, who was looking around, rubbing his hands expectantly, and his eyes rolling around:

“Don’t look at it, I’m talking about you, Dema.”

Demacia:…

“Brother Mu, am I so untrustworthy?”

Demacia looked at Li Mu with resentment.

“I also want to trust you, but you have too many criminal records. If you want to be idle and have fun, you should complete the mission first.”

Li Mu shook his head.

As he spoke, he took another look at the equipment on everyone and reminded them:

“Also, everyone change your clothes, our equipment is too high-profile.”

“Okay, let’s get started.”

After Li Mu finished speaking, the players took action and changed into ordinary clothes.

They often deal with NPCs, and they also have various types of clothes in their hands, such as traditional elf gowns, human nobles’ clothing, and mercenary equipment.

After changing clothes, everyone left separately.

…

Li Mu changed into a set of mercenary equipment.

After splitting up with the players, he did not step into the city gate directly, but first observed on the main road outside the city for a while.

The city is very prosperous, and there are also a lot of cars at the city gate. You can see all kinds of Warcraft carriages coming in and out.

As for the races of NPCs, there are all kinds of them, but the most are humans, followed by half-elves, and there are very few pure elves.

Most NPCs wear traditional elf gowns, and the elves and half-elves are obviously much more gorgeous.

In addition to the Warcraft carriage, some of them also rode mounts, including tall horses and various kinds of Warcraft. Li Mu even saw a unicorn.

The mounts of elves and half-elves were obviously much better than those of other NPCs.

This made Li Mu realize that the status of elves and half-elves was obviously very high in this world, not only from the NPC’s clothing and mounts, but also from the attitude of other races of NPCs towards them.

Whenever an elf passed by, other races would stop and salute.

He observed for a while, thought about it, and turned back to take off his mercenary equipment and put on the traditional elf gown.

It was the “deluxe version” he licked from the old priest Samir.

Then, Li Mu took out a dark silver staff with exquisite patterns and silently chanted a spell.

As he chanted, the staff bloomed with a bright brilliance, and a silver light condensed in front of him, and finally turned into a handsome unicorn.

[Warcraft Mount Summoning]

This is the solidified magic of this staff. The effect is to summon a Warcraft mount transformed by magic, which can last for six hours and has a cooling time of one hour.

And this staff is a divine artifact that Li Mu got from the Broken Kingdom of God. It took him a lot of effort to repair it.

Riding on the unicorn transformed by magic, Li Mu tidied his clothes, then swaggered onto the main road, merged into the crowd, and rushed towards the city gate.

After the NPCs around him noticed him, Li Mu keenly noticed that their attitudes had changed.

Those humans and other races stopped to salute him, and even the half-elves bowed their heads to show respect.

Especially when passing the city gate, the two human soldiers at the city gate were dozing off, and when they saw Li Mu and the unicorn under him, they instantly became energetic and stood up quickly, with a faint taste of bowing.

Ah, this…

It feels like driving a top-of-the-line Maybach S into an ordinary residential area.

Li Mu couldn’t help but think in his heart.

At the same time, he posted his discovery to the team channel, telling everyone that there would be surprises after wearing the gorgeous elf gown and matching the unicorn mount.

However, naturally, Li Mu received a lot of complaints from people:

“Brother Mu, do you think anyone can summon a mount anywhere like you?”

“Damn stinky boss!”

Li Mu:…

With his eyes withdrawn from the chat interface, Li Mu entered the city gate.

The city gate of this city is very tall, at least 20 meters high, and is built of gray boulders.

After passing through the city gate, he finally came to the city.

The vision suddenly opened up, and what came into Li Mu’s eyes was a bustling street, with buildings on both sides lined up one after another, and a constant flow of people on the main road paved with white slabs.

The style of the building has the characteristics of the elves, but it looks less elegant and grand than the traditional elves, and more magnificent than the human city buildings. The main building materials are wood and stone, and the main colors are mainly gray and white and wood brown.

The roofs have traditional elf spires and domes, and the buildings are decorated with double columns, arcades, etc., and the buildings facing the street generally look neater and more solemn.

The greening of the city also follows the style of the elves, and it is done very well. Looking around, you can always see green between the buildings, the trees on both sides of the road are also lush, and you can see fountains and gardens on the street.

“What a beautiful city…”

Li Mu couldn’t help but praise.

To be honest, this city is much better than those human cities in Fengyue Territory.

Only the elf city in the Elf Forest can compare with this place.

Of course, there are still differences in style between the two, and the exotic style brought by this difference makes people like Li Mu who like to visit the scenery quite like it.

He walked all the way, took screenshots all the way, and turned on the video record by the way, ready to make a video after the task is completed.

Along the way, he also observed the residents in the city.

The residents are still mainly humans, followed by half-elves. Among them, the proportion of professionals is very high. Although it is not as good as the Elf Forest, it is probably more than 30% if you look around.

Of course, most of them are half-elves.

In comparison, the number of elves seems very rare.

But every time an elf passes by, it will be treated with respect by others.

Including Li Mu.

Along the way, people have been constantly saluting him.

Don’t say it, in this kind of game that focuses on virtual reality, even if you know it is a game, it is still quite enjoyable.

After enjoying the respect of NPCs for a while, Li Mu randomly found a pedestrian and asked about the location of a nearby tavern.

“Tavern? Elf… Elf sir, which tavern do you want to go to? I can lead the way!”

The human resident said enthusiastically in fluent Elvish.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said:

“Go to the tavern with the most people and the most underground news.”

“Underground news?”

The other party was stunned.

Then he thought about it and said:

“Elf sir, if you want to find out some news, you might as well go to the Demon Hunter Guild…”

“Well, you should also come to participate in the selection of the Guardian Knight? There are still three days before the day of the Mother Goddess Trial. If you want to find out the relevant information about the trial ruins, only the Demon Hunter Guild is the most suitable.”

Guardian Knight Selection? Demon Hunter Guild? Mother Goddess Trial?

And… Ruins?

Li Mu’s heart moved slightly.

He quickly grasped the key words in the residents’ mouths.

“Where is the Demon Hunter Guild?”

He asked calmly.

The passerby pointed to the distance:

“Go along this road, turn right at the end, and the largest building you see is the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Guild.”

“Thank you.”

Li Mu nodded gently, threw a gold pound to the passerby, and then rode the magic unicorn in the direction he pointed.

The passerby subconsciously took the gold pound, picked it up and looked at it repeatedly, with a look of surprise:

“Gold coin?”

“Thank you, Master Elf!”

…

After bypassing a block, Li Mu came to the Demon Hunter Guild mentioned by the guide.

It was a seven-story building, like a landmark in the city. The overall building was elven-style, made of gray-white boulders, with a wooden sign decorated with exquisite patterns hanging on it, and the words “Demon Hunter Guild” were written in neat elven language.

In front of the guild, professionals came and went, many of them were half-elves and powerful human professionals, in addition… occasionally elves could be seen.

There was also a stone tablet in front of the door, with a sentence engraved on it:

“With my flesh and blood soul, I forged the long sword of the Mother Goddess to protect the peace of Mindel.”

And below this sentence, there was the reason for the establishment of the Demon Hunter Guild. Li Mu took a look and found that this was an organization built by professionals, similar to the Mercenary Guild in the Segos World.

However, their mission was different from that of the mercenaries in the Segos World. They mainly assisted the Mother Goddess Church in fighting against those believers who believed in evil gods…

“Evil god believers… are they those fish monsters?”

Li Mu thought.

He thought about it, and in the surprised eyes of the waiter at the door, he dispersed the summoned unicorn incarnation, and then walked forward and pushed the door open.

Entering the building, Li Mu came to a magnificent hall.

Although it was called a hall, it looked more like a complex of a tavern and a service hall. You could see the bar and the wine shop, as well as the counter for issuing tasks.

There were many professionals in the hall, most of them were silver-ranked, and a few were black iron-ranked. With Li Mu’s strength, he was considered to be in the upper middle level here.

There were elves, half-elves, humans, and other races.

Most people were wearing combat equipment, but Li Mu’s gorgeous elf robe looked a little different.

Seeing Li Mu coming in, the noise in the hall was obviously quieter.

Li Mu keenly noticed that many people cast curious eyes at him.

But after seeing his elf appearance, their eyes quickly showed a hint of respect, and then slowly withdrew.

Only some elves still looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Li Mu noticed that most of them had black hair and black eyes.

It seems… they are the lost shadow tribe.

He thought to himself.

At this time, Li Mu was somewhat glad that he chose black hair and black eyes when he created his character.

After choosing a seat and sitting down, a professional soon came to greet him. It was a black-haired shadow elf.

“Hey! Your Excellency! You look unfamiliar. Are you also here to participate in the selection of guardian knights?”

He said enthusiastically.

As he said that, he turned around and said to the human waiter in the hall:

“Two glasses of Mindel wine, thank you.”

Li Mu nodded calmly, and the elf’s expression lit up:

“That’s great! Do you have teammates? If not, I would like to recommend myself. Um… my name is Robert, and I’m a silver warrior.”

Li Mu shook his head slightly:

“Sorry, I already have teammates.”

“Well, what a pity.”

The elf was a little disappointed.

As he spoke, he sighed:

“Ah… It’s really hard to find a teammate of the same race. I’ve been looking for many days.”

After hearing the elf’s words, Li Mu’s heart moved slightly:

“Why do we have to find teammates of the same race?”

The elf was a little surprised:

“Don’t you know? As the guardian race of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, if we team up, it will be easier to gain recognition in the ruins and get the favor of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, so as to gain powerful strength and become a golden professional! Be selected as the guardian knight of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess!”

As he spoke, he sighed:

“The magic power of the world has been falling, and it is becoming more and more difficult to be promoted to a high-level professional. However, the offensive of the believers of the Ocean Evil God is getting more and more fierce. Without the blessing of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, it will be difficult for us to resist as guardian knights…”

Her Majesty the Mother Goddess…

This is the second time Li Mu has heard the other party say this title.

However, he is very sure that it is definitely not referring to the goddess Eve who is traveling with him.

Could it be… the tree of life that the goddess mentioned?

At this time, the elf’s next words made Li Mu frown slightly…

He saw the other party pick up the wine brought by the waiter, drink it all, and then look at the people coming and going outside the window, sighing:

“Unknowingly, it has been a thousand years since our tribe came here… When I was a child, I listened to my grandfather’s stories about the past, and in the blink of an eye, I am not a child anymore.”

“If the ancestors knew that we finally revived Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, I am afraid they would be very pleased…”

“It is said that the church received the oracle of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess some time ago. Her Majesty the Mother Goddess is only one step away from recovering her strength. By that time… No matter what kind of evil god of the sea, he will be swept away by the great Mother Goddess!”

The elf said excitedly.

After hearing his words, Li Mu was silent.

Revived the goddess?

No…

They definitely didn’t revive the goddess!

In connection with what the other party said, combined with his own various experiences, plus the various background introductions of this mission, and some news from the goddess these days, Li Mu had some guesses in his heart…

I am afraid that the other party is referring to the giant tree called the Tree of Life by the goddess.

They regarded it as the World Tree.

Not only that, the tree of life seemed to have its own consciousness, and it was very likely that it had stolen the faith of the goddess.

But Li Mu was still a little confused.

Even though a thousand years had passed, the Shadow Tribe still had demigod messengers.

Could it be that the demigod messengers could not distinguish between the real and the fake?

The elf did not notice the change in Li Mu’s expression.

He sighed secretly, with a hint of sadness in his words:

“It’s a pity that Lady Eris, who dedicated everything to revive the Mother Goddess, can’t see that day.”

Lady Eris…

Li Mu’s eyes moved slightly.

After Aurora returned, he made up for the history of the elves.

And he was not unfamiliar with the name Eris.

She was one of the eight demigod messengers under the goddess’s seat, the guardian of the Shadow Tribe, and was honored as the Shadow of the Dark Night.

At this moment, there was a commotion not far away.

Li Mu looked over and saw that several elves and half-elves were arguing.

The elf in the center had a gloomy expression, while the half-elves surrounding him were angry.

Noticing Li Mu’s gaze, Robert turned his head.

He glanced at the quarreling professionals, sneered, and snorted:

“It’s Jourdain, the Faithless bastard again. Haven’t you had enough?”

“Faithless?”

Li Mu was slightly stunned.

“That’s the gloomy face who was arguing with the others. He once had a younger brother who participated in the selection of guardian knights and was chosen by Her Majesty the Mother Goddess as a guardian knight.”

“Everyone knows that after becoming a guardian knight, everyone will gain the will of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, and have firm beliefs and powerful strength.”

“This is a very glorious thing, but that bastard Jourdain thinks that Her Majesty the Mother Goddess has controlled his brother’s mind and turned his brother into a puppet without self…”

“What a ridiculous statement! Her Majesty the Mother Goddess has been fighting against the evil sea god for us, and he dared to question the greatness of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess! Questioning those guardian knights who died in battle!”

“If it weren’t for him being a shadow elf, he would have been expelled long ago.”

Robert said angrily.

After looking at everyone’s chapters, I would like to say a few things. First of all… I think it is necessary to lay the groundwork for a plot. If the pace is slow recently, you can take a break.

The feeling of following along is different from reading it all at once. I admit that my writing is not very suitable for following along (although I really hope that everyone will follow along so that they don’t forget it).

Some people say that the protagonist is frustrated. I want to say that you can swap this Mindel world with the Segos world.

Just as the gods cannot easily destroy Eve in the Segos world, when this world is sealed, Eve’s power relying solely on her incarnation is also very limited.

Moreover, this plot is not as simple as everyone imagines, and the seal is the same. It will lead to subsequent plots, so please be patient and wait.

I can also write short and quick pretentious and face-slapping stories, but in that case, what is left of the plot… It will completely become a simple and refreshing story.

Although what I write can also be considered a simple and refreshing story, at least… let me write it with some characteristics in the plot.

Of course, I will consider valuable suggestions.

There will be more tonight.
