Game of the World Tree - Chapter 932

932. Chapter 926 Sunrise (Part 3): Friends

The gloomy sky was gradually replaced by dusk, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.

Only the occasional lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the desolate wilderness, and the sound of thunder was looming.

Occasionally, the roar of monsters could be heard from afar, accompanied by the whistling night wind, which made people inevitably nervous.

Athos and his four companions were guarding in front of a dilapidated house, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a vague energy fluctuation came from the house behind them, and golden light shone from the dilapidated windows…

Noticing this scene, the hearts of several people were instantly lifted.

The next moment, the dilapidated door was pushed open, and Tony walked out of the house.

His breath had changed slightly, and his face was still full of excitement that could not be concealed.

“Thank you, Sir Athos.”

He walked in front of Athos, thanked him, and presented the beautiful and holy small statue of the goddess with both hands.

Athos hurriedly took it respectfully.

He couldn’t help but look at Tony curiously, surprised and puzzled.

The other three were the same. Their eyes fell on Tony, and they seemed quite curious.

Noticing the gazes of several people, Tony smiled slightly.

He looked at Athos, who was hesitant to speak, and said:

“Sir Athos, what’s wrong? Do you have anything to say?”

After hearing what Tony said, Athos nodded:

“Well… yes, I am indeed curious about some things. I just wanted to ask, Sir Tony, what rank are you…? In my perception, you seem to have just been promoted to Black Iron, but when I first met you, I clearly remember that you displayed powerful Silver skills…”

Tony was slightly stunned, and then laughed. He did not hide it, but explained frankly:

“Sir Athos, you are right, I have indeed just been promoted to Black Iron, but… as the chosen one of the goddess, I received the favor of the gods when I descended, and can display the power of the Silver level within a certain period of time.”

“So that’s it!”

Athos suddenly realized.

Then, he hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully:

“So… Sir Tony, that is to say, although you are only at the Black Iron level, can you still continue to exert the power of Silver?”

“There is a time limit, it can only be used as a killer for a period of time.”

Tony thought for a while and replied.

Athos’ eyes lit up, and the others were also refreshed.

The old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something again.

Tony’s heart moved slightly:

“Sir Athos, do you have anything else to say?”

“Uh… Indeed… Sir Tony, to be honest, I actually have something I want to discuss with you.”

Athos said.

As he said that, he took a deep breath and looked at Tony with some expectation:

“Master Tony, we plan to go to the Dawn Fortress. I wonder if you are willing to go with us?”

Tony was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

“Of course, dear Lord Athos, I was lost and didn’t know where to go! After knowing that this is the Western Continent, I planned to go to the Dawn Fortress. Even if you didn’t ask, I would have asked you to go with me!”

Athos was overjoyed:

“That’s great! With your joining, we are much more confident in completing the mission!”

“Just go with the flow and do my best. As the Chosen One summoned by the Goddess, it is my duty to help the believers of life.”

Tony smiled.

At this moment, he has completely integrated into his role and regarded himself as a Chosen One warrior fighting for the Goddess.

After speaking, he glanced at the time on the system and checked the small map in the upper right corner.

“Are we leaving now?”

Tony asked.

“No, Lord Tony, the night in the Western Continent is the most dangerous. Even if you can exert the power of the silver level, if we encounter a large-scale tide of fallen beasts, we will be in danger.”

Athos shook his head.

“Yes, it will be safer to travel during the day. Let’s take a rest and set off when the weather is better.”

The female mage Milel also said.

After listening to the words of several people, Tony nodded:

“Then let’s hurry up tomorrow. It’s just right… I also need some time to check some information.”

“Information?”

“Well… nothing, I mean, it’s just right to spend time to get familiar with the power after the promotion.”

…

Just like that, Tony joined the escort team of Athos and others.

They camped in place and decided to wait until the next day before continuing the action.

The dilapidated village became a temporary camp for the group. Several people drew lots to decide and take turns to keep watch.

However, Athos declined Tony’s participation. In his words, Tony was a noble chosen one, and there was no need to bother him with these trivial matters.

Tony declined for a while, and then agreed.

To be honest, the reality of “Elf Kingdom” is too high, and he is not sure that he can do a good job of keeping watch.

In addition, he really needs to use the rest time to figure out some things.

After getting into the sleeping bag provided by Athos and others, Tony looked at the rolling clouds on the sky outside the window through the dilapidated window. He took a deep breath, connected to the game system, and logged into the game’s official website.

Today is the day when the new player quota for this month officially takes effect. He doesn’t believe that he is the only player who chooses to descend to the Dawn World.

Since he encountered the problem of descending to the wrong place, it is likely that other people have similar situations.

With this idea in mind, Tony logged into the official forum.

As expected, he saw a lot of similar new posts on the official forum.

The time was all released today, and the release time was all concentrated after he descended.

Many players encountered the same situation as him and descended to the wrong place.

And the landing place is not only the Western Continent, but the entire Dawn World.

Tony was relatively lucky. Among the players who landed in the wrong place, some unlucky guys fell directly into the sea, and one even worse fell directly into the lair of the fallen monster and died in the blink of an eye.

However, this incident did not cause too much trouble to the players.

Because everyone was born at level 1, there was no penalty for death. After dying once, they could be resurrected in Shemtem, where branches of the World Tree were planted. It was no big deal.

Of course, Tony had decided to go with Athos and the others, so he couldn’t use this method.

Not only that, he was already at the Iron level, and he didn’t have enough resurrection coins. If he died, he would be demoted.

But at least, this gave Tony some confidence.

He knew that he could “auto-return to the city” at any time if he wanted to.

“But… why did this happen? Is it a system bug?”

After knowing that he was not the only one who encountered the problem, Tony became curious about the reason for landing in the wrong place.

He continued to look through the posts on the official forum and soon found the answer.

It was a post from a player with the ID “Anne of France”, and the post was in French.

Although Tony didn’t know French, the translation software in the virtual age was no longer what it used to be, and it could be solved with one click.

After browsing the post, Tony also knew the cause and effect of the incident.

This accident was not a system bug, but a man-made disaster.

The story starts with the construction of the super long-distance teleportation array across the continent. This array is bidirectional, with one end in Dawn Fortress and the other end in the Holy City of Shantem.

As early as three days ago, the energy-gathering core for constructing the teleportation array had already been found by the players.

The most important thing for the super long-distance teleportation array is the energy-gathering core. With the energy-gathering core, the rest of the work is easy to do.

Dawn Fortress and the Holy City of Shantem started the process of constructing the array at the same time, and it took three days to complete the construction of the super long-distance teleportation array.

However, when debugging the newly built teleportation array today, the selected magic energy-gathering core had a problem.

Perhaps because it was too old, the energy-gathering core of Dawn Fortress exploded on the spot, directly causing a space storm that affected half of Shantem and the entire Dawn Fortress…

Most players were fine, but those unlucky people who happened to land in Shantem City were directly teleported to various places because of the chaos of space power…

Including Tony.

Seeing this, Tony couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

It was also his bad luck. If he had logged in a few minutes later, he would not have been thrown directly to the Western Continent when the power of the space storm subsided.

However… it was also good. If it hadn’t been for this coincidence, he would not have met Athos and others…

At the end of the post, Anne of France also issued a high-priced reward. If anyone could provide a new magic energy core, they would receive a huge bounty of up to one million contribution points from the European Union and the Cute Committee.

Seeing this, Tony raised his eyebrows:

“Cute Committee?”

He was not unfamiliar with the European Union. Before entering the game, he did his homework in advance and knew that it was the largest guild of international players and the guild that controlled the Eastern Continent of the Dawn World.

As for the Cute Committee…

Tony felt like he had heard of this strange name somewhere.

With curiosity, he searched it, and after a search, he finally knew the origin of the other party.

“It turned out to be one of the seven major guilds in the Celestial Empire!”

Looking at the introduction in the virtual encyclopedia, Tony suddenly realized.

The Celestial Empire has a large number of players. After the recent major updates, the total number of players has exceeded five million.

With so many players, there are naturally many guilds. Among them, there are seven largest guilds, each with more than 300,000 players, and their influence is spread across all planes of the Elf Kingdom.

The Mengmeng Committee is one of them. It is said that it not only controls nearly half of the real estate in the major cities of the Segos World, but also conquers an exclusive plane in the New World.

Of course, because it is smaller than the Dawn World, the branches of the World Tree were grafted later, so it was not chosen as the birthplace like the Dawn World.

However, the Mengmeng Committee also has a base in the Dawn World, which is none other than the Dawn Fortress in the Western Continent!

This time, the establishment of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array was also carried out in cooperation between the Mengmeng Committee and the European Alliance.

“Looking at it this way… the magic energy core that Athos and his team escorted is actually the key item for building the teleportation array. In this case, I have to complete this mission well.”

“But, I have to determine my specific location. If I remember correctly, I saw it on YouTube live broadcast. It seems that the official website forum has explored maps shared… It seems that it can be downloaded directly.”

Tony thought while browsing the post.

With this thought in mind, Tony logged into the official website’s information column again. After searching, he finally found the exploration map shared by the Dawn World.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly downloaded the map information and loaded it into the game.

After the map was loaded, Tony finally determined his location.

“Is it about 500 kilometers from the Dawn Fortress in a straight line? This distance is not short… It will probably take a month to walk, and the map in the middle is almost all black, so it is definitely impossible to walk in a straight line. The actual distance will only be longer.”

“Not only that, you may encounter terrible monsters… According to the information, the beast tide in the western continent is quite serious…”

“Perhaps, I should also take the initiative to contact the European Union, and ask them to help if necessary…”

Tony thought.

He did not plan to contact the Meng Meng Committee directly.

There was no way. As an international player, he did not have a very good impression of the Chinese players, because there were too many Chinese players and they liked to stick together too much. Often, if you provoke one, a group of people will come soon.

Not only that, the strength of the Chinese players is also stronger overall. After the plane war started, international players had many conflicts with them, and they suffered losses every time.

It was also because of this that the national players led by Europe and the United States finally united to form a large guild called the European Union.

Thinking of this, Tony found Anne of France’s game UID (Note: a digital ID number directly assigned by the system when a user registers), searched for it in the new friends list, and sent a friend request.

Of course, he did not forget to note his purpose, which was to escort the magic energy core.

Unfortunately, the guild leader of the European Union seemed to have closed the friend request. After Tony clicked on the request, it showed that the request failed.

He frowned, feeling a little depressed.

Celebrities are troublesome. It is normal that celebrities in such a large game cannot be added as friends.

Sighing, Tony turned his gaze to the end of the post.

At the end, the post left a UID for the bounty contact, and also included a nickname in Chinese.

Translated into English, the name means something like “the cooing bird”.

After hesitating for a while, Tony finally chose to apply for the friend, and the reason for the application was still to escort the magic energy core.

This time, the friend application was quickly approved.

With a slight beep from the system, the new friend’s avatar lit up in the address book. At the same time, the beeping friend notification sound came, and a new message appeared in Tony’s field of vision:

“Hello, I am the vice president of the Moe Moe Committee, the cooing bird.”
