Game of the World Tree - Chapter 969

Chapter 969: The Path to Transcendence (IX): The Mysterious Guest

Breakfast time passed quickly.

After breakfast, Tony went to the convention center next door with Yeye and Nana.

Today is the first day of the offline celebration. There will be grand celebrations and performances in the exhibition hall. It is also the busiest day of the entire event.

It can be regarded as the opening ceremony. Because there will be a party in the evening, it was chosen to be held during the day.

When the two entered the exhibition hall, it was already crowded with people. There were densely packed heads. There was a long queue in front of the door leading to the multi-functional exhibition hall.

They all wanted to enter the venue.

Several people also joined the team. At this time, there was no distinction between invited players and registered players. At most, the seats after entering the venue were different, and the seats of invited players were better.

However, there seemed to be too many people queuing, which was even more outrageous than some large international comic exhibitions.

Tony made a strategy before coming here, and this situation was really beyond his expectations.

He couldn’t help but ask this question, and what greeted him were the somewhat surprised looks from Yeye and Nana:

“Brother Tony, didn’t you see the promotion for this event?”

“Event? Promotion?”

Tony was slightly stunned.

This… he really didn’t seem to have noticed it.

After he had opened up the map, he had been playing in Segus except for work. After knowing the specific date of the offline celebration, he asked Xiaoxianmiao for an invitation ticket and didn’t pay attention to it anymore.

Even after coming here yesterday, he quickly went into the hotel to rest, and didn’t carefully check the information of the celebration.

Even Zhuzhu and others, they parted after a brief reminiscence.

Now that I think about it… since yesterday, the players he met seemed to be more excited than each other.

He thought about it and took out the celebration information to look through it.

It was in both Chinese and English, but his Chinese was also good, so even if it was all in Chinese, it didn’t seem to be difficult.

When he saw the black shadow on the cover that could be identified as a woman, as well as the big question mark on the shadow and the text description next to it, he thought:

“Opening speech? A mysterious guest in the game?”

Offline celebrations always invite some heavyweight guests to give opening speeches.

These guests are generally related to “Elf Kingdom”.

For example, well-known players in the game, celebrities who also play “Elf Kingdom” in real life, and a famous movie star who starred in a popular movie based on “Elf Kingdom” a few years ago.

But… what is the “mysterious guest in the game”?

“Is it another heavyweight player?”

Tony was suspicious.

But Yeye and Nana shook their heads:

“How is it possible? The last time Brother Mu gave a congratulatory speech, he didn’t keep it so secret. Can there be a player in the game who is more famous than Brother Mu, who is the anchor?”

“That’s right…”

Tony nodded.

There don’t seem to be many popular players in the game except Li Mu.

Feng is one, but he is not as popular as Li Mu, not to mention that the other party also said that he will not come this time.

Then… who could it be?

And “in the game”… it can’t be an NPC in the game, right?

Tony muttered in his heart.

He looked at the two Chinese friends beside him and expressed his thoughts, while Yeye and Nana looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Tony’s eyelids jumped:

“Is it really an NPC in the game?”

“According to rumors, it should be. It is said that the official of “Elf Kingdom” also participated in the event this time, and it seems that virtual projection technology is going to be used.”

Yeye finally stopped keeping the secret and told the news he knew.

“Virtual projection?”

Tony’s eyes lit up.

Projection technology appeared as early as the second half of the 20th century, and it is also called holographic projection technology.

However, this technology will not be widely used until the virtual network era officially arrives.

The NPCs in “Elf Kingdom” are extremely intelligent. If the characters in the game are reproduced using virtual projection technology, it seems that it can really be done!

At this moment, Tony had a lot of associations and gradually became excited.

Games are games, and reality is reality.

But sometimes, this boundary can also be broken.

Thinking of this, he looked at the cover of the brochure again, or more precisely, at the shadow of the woman whose identity he could not identify. Familiar NPCs flashed through his mind one after another.

Alice, Big Sister, Diana, Aurora…

Who could it be?

He did not guess that it was the goddess, because there had been rumors a few years ago that the goddess seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

It was even said that because of this news, the Abyss Demons were ready to move, and almost triggered an Abyss War, but later there seemed to be an internal conflict within the Abyss, and Tony was not very clear about the specific details.

Anyway, it seemed that the demons disagreed.

In short, according to the nature of “Elf Kingdom”, since the goddess fell into a deep sleep, it should not be her.

Then…

could it really be Alice?

No, no, no… It could also be the Fairy King Finel!

Tony guessed and became more and more curious about the so-called mysterious guest.

At this time, Ye Ye also said the most popular speculation on the Internet:

“But… now everyone’s most speculated is the goddess Eve, which is why so many people are participating this time.”

“Goddess? No… it shouldn’t be possible. As you know, the goddess fell asleep ten years ago in the game. It is said that the one who is active in the players’ sight now is just an incarnation.”

Tony shook his head subconsciously.

However, Ye Ye said:

“Brother Tony, you also said that it has been ten years. What if… the goddess wakes up?”

The goddess wakes up?

Tony’s heart moved.

“Ye Ye, did you hear any news in the game?”

“Not us, brother Tony, do you know Cyber?”

“Cyber? The Chinese player who saved the frost elves and has a very high status among the elves?”

“Yes, he once heard several elf myths talk about it. The goddess seemed to sleep for ten years.”

“I heard the elf myths talk about it… Damn, this is really an enviable favorability. Among all the elf myths, I have only seen Zero, and she didn’t pay much attention to me. I don’t know what I said wrong when I saw her last time, and she seemed to ignore me even more.”

“Haha, everyone is the same. Maybe… people like Cyber are the real big guys.”

“So, now everyone is speculating that it will be the goddess who descends?”

“Although the possibility is not high, it is not impossible. Even if there is only a little possibility, it is enough to excite everyone.”

“That’s right. As long as you are the chosen one of the goddess Eve, then we are half-brothers and sisters!”

“Hahaha, you also know what Tony said?”

“Of course, you don’t see how many years I have been in the Chinese player circle.”

Tony laughed.

After a conversation with Ye Ye Nana, he was more looking forward to the upcoming celebration.

The three of them chatted while queuing.

The efficiency of admission was still very high. It wasn’t long before it was the turn of several people. Tony handed in his invitation ticket and entered the venue.

The venue was very large and could easily accommodate 5,000 people. It was a multifunctional exhibition hall. It was said that it had not only held conferences and performances, but also hosted international sports events.

Tony found his seat according to his number. The position was quite good, right in the front row, and facing the stage.

He looked carefully and it seemed that almost all the invited players were in this area. And he didn’t know whether it was intentional or not, but almost everyone’s seats were divided according to the guild.

However, when it was time to sit down, many people changed seats. In “Elf Kingdom”, although the players were divided into distinct groups by large and small guilds, there was still good friendship between different guilds in private.

Especially these invited high-level players.

It was a coincidence that Tony’s seat was right next to Yeye and Nana.

On the way, Yeye and Nana met a few friends, and Tony got to know them as well.

One was Acan, a well-known player of the All-Stars organized by the seven major guilds of the Celestial Empire. In real life, he was an uncle who looked a little vicissitudes of life.

Another was a high-level player of the Heart of Nature, a druid player who was particularly popular with the elemental fairies. His name was Xiamu, and in real life, he was a gentle young man.

After greeting and adding friends, several people sat down.

Time gradually reached half past nine, and according to the schedule, the opening ceremony performance was about to begin.

In recent years, the performance titles of offline celebrations have also had a default pattern. Generally speaking, there will be a congratulatory speech by the player representative first, followed by songs and dances related to “Elf Kingdom”, followed by drama performances, micro-film broadcasts, and interactive games.

The players in the hall have almost taken their seats. Well… at least 90% of the people here should be players. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there may be family members of some players, or fans or cloud players who love “Elf Kingdom” very much.

With 5,000 people gathered in the venue, the momentum is still very huge, especially since it is indoors, the hustle and bustle, the sound will not spread, but it will be more lively.

It was not until the melodious music slowly sounded and the lights in the hall slowly went out that the noise of people gradually weakened…

The next moment, the exhibition hall fell into darkness, and soothing and ethereal music played. The familiar and beautiful melody kept flowing, and the ancient ballads gently echoed in the hall:

“The sky is getting light, and the night is about to disappear”

“The dawn light slowly awakens the sleeping creatures”

“The music sounds soothingly and melodiously”

“The flowers bloom slowly, exuding the natural fragrance”

“The sun rises and sets”

“Every day begins with new hope”

“The melody is melodious”

“The troubadour is singing in the morning of Florence”

“Merciful Mother Goddess” “

May you be glorious”

“I am your most pious child”

“Offer you immortal glory”

“Merciful Mother Goddess”

“May you be glorious”

“I am your most pious child”

“Offer you immortal glory…”

“…”

That is the most widely circulated and most beautiful music in “The Kingdom of Elves” – “Morning in Florence”.

Hearing this beautiful melody, the audience in the venue consciously quieted down.

For a moment, the hall with thousands of people was as quiet as night, with only the ethereal singing echoing continuously.

Suddenly, the dark stage was slightly lit up, and dots of photons continued to gather, like a dream.

It was the halo projected by the laser beam in the distance.

Photons continued to gather, and gradually, a beautiful picture scroll unfolded on the stage. It turned out to be the beautiful Elf Forest!

Enshrouded in glory, the illusory projection re-projected the unforgettable forest in the game in the form of light into the hall. At this moment, under the colorful light, the players found themselves as if they were back in the Elf Forest again!

The melodious music continued to float, and there were bursts of exclamations in the venue. Even Tony, looking at the Elf Forest that almost descended on him, was full of shock in his eyes…

This is the most advanced projection technology on Blue Star. At

this moment, the world in the game was moved into the venue.

The surrounding scenery kept moving, passing to both sides with the ethereal music, and gradually, the magnificent Chosen City came into the eyes of the audience!

One by one, elves shuttled through the city.

No, they were not elves, but players in the game, busy and moving freely.

At this moment, the audience present suddenly realized that this was not just a simple projection, but a projection of the scene in the game!

And this group of players, I’m afraid they didn’t know they were on TV.

It was really on TV. You know, every offline celebration event is broadcast live

on the entire network. For a while, the hall was filled with excited cheers from the audience, mixed with a few whistles, and even more, shouting the slogan “Long live the Forest of Elves, long live the Chosen City!”

Tony was also excited.

This experience of seeing the game scene in person in reality makes people inexplicably more excited.

Especially with this classic background music, he couldn’t help but think of the days when he just entered the game and adventured with the NPCs.

On the stage, in the hall.

The projected phantom is still moving.

In the excited sight of the players, accompanied by the beautiful melody, the vision keeps changing, passing through the streets of the Chosen City and entering the towering temple.

The figure of Alice, the Saint of Life, appeared in front of the people. She seemed to be smiling at everyone, bowed slightly, and then opened the door further inside.

The next moment, the bright light filled the venue, and the background music began to rise, as if it was about to reach the climax of the chapter, and the projected vision also rose suddenly.

The next moment, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, the illusory starry sky appeared in people’s vision.

No, that is not the starry sky.

It is the endless void of the world of Segus!

A world of seats is like a star, floating and rotating beside the audience.

And in the center of the universe, on the stage, the towering world tree stands proudly!

The vision leaped again, approaching the world tree quickly, zooming in…

Soon, it came to a solemn and solemn temple.

The next moment, the door of the temple slowly opened, accompanied by the bright golden light, and a vibrant temple appeared in people’s vision.

On both sides of the temple stood the myths familiar to the players, including Diana, Aurora, Eris, Myriel, etc.

They faced deeper into the temple, with respectful expressions.

When the door opened, they all turned around and nodded in the direction of their vision.

Seeing this scene, Tony already knew who the mysterious guest was…

His eyes quickly became excited, and the other players in the venue also became more excited.

The next moment, the vision continued to go deeper, and the door of the deepest temple suddenly opened.

The background music reached its climax, and the dazzling holy light also descended under the projection.

In the almost fanatical eyes of the players, a beautiful figure appeared on the illusory temple in the center of the stage.

He wore a natural crown and a holy dress, sitting on the throne, one hand on the armrest, the other hand gently supporting his cheek, looking at the players with a smile.

That sentence that every player will never forget, familiar and ethereal, resounded in the venue:

“Brave Chosen One, welcome to the “Elf Kingdom”…”

It is not only the opening remarks of every game, but also the opening remarks of every offline celebration.

At this moment, there is no suspense about the identity of the mysterious guest.

Deafening cheers and shouts rang out in the venue, and these cheers and shouts gradually gathered into a unanimous praise:

“Praise nature! Praise life! Praise the great goddess Eve!”
