The night was getting darker, but the Elf Town was still brightly lit under the illumination of Illumination Spells and torches.
However, because the elves had strong night vision, Nightingale was able to see everything clearly even without any lights …
Under the lead of Li Mu, Nightingale and her siblings passed through the Teleportation Portal and arrived at the square of the Elf Town.
As soon as they arrived, they were stunned by the wonderful city in front of them.
At this moment, the Elf Town had changed quite a bit.
With the addition of the Second Beta Gamers, the scale of the Elf Town had expanded.
Now, it could no longer be called a town, but it had become a city!
Not only that, but the gamers had fully unleashed their imaginations, and the architectural styles in the town had become more colorful.
As if to compete, they had added almost all the Bluestar architectural styles that they could think of.
Although the styles were different, the buildings were connected by greenery and gardens. The greenery weakened the visual impact of the different architectural styles and gave the entire city a different flavor.
Especially the gamers' own small homes in the city!
Building a beautiful home was a hobby of many online gamers.
And this point was vividly reflected in "Elven Nation"!
Perhaps the First Beta Gamers had set the tone for the city construction at the beginning, so the Second Beta Gamers started to compete with each other in the construction of their homes …
With the addition of the Meng Meng Committee's construction team, this phenomenon was pushed to a climax!
No one knew who started it, but every gamer was full of enthusiasm for the construction of their homes.
They fully unleashed their talents and designed their own homes according to their own preferences. Then, with the help of the Meng Meng Committee's construction team, they started the construction.
In order to build their homes, the life profession gamers even developed various new ways of playing with Magic Skills.
They used Magic to accelerate the growth of Builder Wood, Petrification to harden the paving … Some people even used indigenous methods to create cement …
Of course, the overall style of the city was still based on nature. That was the rule set by Eve.
When a building was built, it had to be blessed by the Goddess.
To put it bluntly, Eve used a little power to animate the wood in the building.
It couldn't be helped. Eve had obsessive-compulsive disorder too.
Since he had "activated" the other buildings when he was revived, if the new architectural style was not uniform, he would feel uncomfortable looking at it …
The city was right under his feet, and he could see it when he lowered his head. He did not want the new buildings to be like a village in the city …
Shameful, no … shameful.
With the development of the players, the Elf Town became more and more prosperous, and the fantasy became more and more intense.
If your house was too shabby, you would be too embarrassed to say that you were a player from the Elven Kingdom.
Apart from this, there were also several tall buildings in the town. These were the Guild Residences of several large player guilds.
Among them, the Mengmeng Committee's encampment was the most spectacular.
It was a garden palace they had built in imitation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon on the Bluestar!
These projects were huge. If they were to be done in the Bluestar, it would be quite difficult. At the very least … it would take a long time.
But in the world of Segers with magic, everything was possible!
Here, because of the existence of magic, as long as you could imagine a building, you could build it with some effort!
Not only that, many players even took videos of their own homes and uploaded them to the Bluestar network.
And this kind of DIY urban home construction that was close to reality and with magic naturally caused a sensation on the Bluestar network …
Especially after the players built their own homes, they held banquets together in the garden, living room, or played games together in the video, which made the netizens even more envious …
That kind of realism, that kind of freedom and happiness, could be felt through the screen!
Unlike other games, although the virtual reality games in the Bluestar were gradually becoming more developed, and virtual simulation games such as "Minecraft" and "Sim City" were emerging, the construction in the Elven Kingdom was more free and more realistic.
More importantly, this was not a simulation game, but it allowed you to have the fun of playing a Sim!
And … the ratio of game time to reality was four to one!
And it was said that you could still put your consciousness into the game when you were sleeping!
And the realistic five senses, realistic food, and beautiful forest scenery around made the life and fantasy in the game even more intense …
This was simply a dreamy paradise!
Not to mention, the essence of the Elven Kingdom was an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game)!
The main dish of this game was adventure, and simulation management was only a small part of the game …
The netizens were completely jealous …
Unfortunately, the Elven Kingdom had been in closed beta for almost two months in Bluestar, and the official website still had not announced the date of the open beta.
A group of netizens could only watch the official website every day, waiting for the official website to release the news of the open beta.
While they were at it, they also watched the videos posted by players on major video websites to satisfy their cravings …
Then they would be jealous in the bullet screen and comments.
And the news of a group of Chinese players building a fantasy city in a virtual MMORPG game gradually spread on the internet …
Immersed in this dream-like city, Nightingale was completely shocked.
"This … this is the City of Heaven's Chosen?"
She couldn't help but murmur.
She swore that she had lived for more than a hundred years and traveled to many places, but she had never seen such a wonderful city!
It wasn't that the cities of the indigenous races in the world of Segers weren't spectacular.
The Elven Rivendell was spectacular, and so were the ruins of the Titans …
But their magnificence … was completely different from the cities built by the players.
What really shocked Nightingale was the unprecedented architectural style of the City of Heaven's Chosen!
This was actually an effect brought about by the collision of different cultures in the two worlds.
When the players saw Rivendell, they also felt that this city of elves was very shocking.
Nightingale saw the city full of Bluestar characteristics and felt that it was wonderful and magnificent, which was normal.
Of course, Eve's power made the buildings built by the players come to life, so they were full of a rich natural aura, which was one of the reasons why Nightingale felt wonderful and shocked.
After all … the elves loved nature.
Although the style was unprecedented, it catered to the elves' preferences!
In addition to the city, Nightingale also saw the legendary World Tree.
It was really a towering giant tree. Standing in the town, Nightingale couldn't even see the complete crown of the tree!
She could only see the huge and thick trunk that seemed to go straight to the sky …
But what surprised her was that the World Tree looked withered and withered, without a trace of vitality.
Didn't they say that the World Tree had recovered?
The elven girl's heart was full of doubts.
As if noticing her doubts, Li Mu explained with a smile,
"When you return to the faith of nature, you can see the true appearance of the World Tree."
In order to prevent being discovered by the enemy, the goddess applied a disguise on her body. Only the believers and the chosen ones could see her true appearance.
The players and believers already knew about this.
True appearance?
Nightingale's heart skipped a beat, and she had some guesses.
She lowered her head and stopped looking at the World Tree in the distance. Instead, she looked around the city.
With a glance, she saw even more players.
Like before, Nightingale recognized at a glance that they were different from the traditional elves.
Their clothes, temperament … were all different.
However, compared to the crazy guys she saw the first time, the elves in the city at this moment were generally dressed more simply.
Occasionally, there were some gorgeous ones, but they were just passing by or busily doing their own work.
As for what they were doing …
Nightingale took a closer look —
"Building a house?"
She was slightly stunned.
What she saw was actually the construction team of the Mengmeng Committee.
As long as there were players who needed it, the construction of the Mengmeng Committee would not stop …
After all … it was all contribution points!
Moreover, the players who joined the construction team were originally serious fans of simulation management.
As for the other elves in the town, they were players with slightly lower levels or lifestyle players.
As for the high-level players and those war maniacs, as early as after the teleportation array was built, they swarmed to Rivendell to explore the new world …
When they saw Li Mu, Nightingale, and the others, the players also greeted them one after another.
"Yo! Brother Mu! "
"Good evening, Brother Mu!"
"Do you want some fruit? I just picked it this afternoon! "
"Huh? Is this a new NPC? "
"Hello, little sister!"
Li Mu also responded to them one by one.
"Good evening!"
"I'm not eating. The guild just held a barbecue in the evening, and I'm full."
"Well, this is the NPC Boxed Lunch and the others rescued. I'm taking them to see Alice."
These players did not bother too much. After knowing that they had a mission, they left to do their own things.
Looking at their backs, Nightingale nodded.
These elves … seemed to be more normal.
As she walked, she looked around curiously. Finally, under the guidance of Li Mu, she arrived in front of a temple.
Like the other buildings Nightingale saw, the temple was still not in the traditional elven style, but … it was somewhat similar to the style of a human temple.
But it was more delicate and full of a natural aura.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the temple.
The temple was not very big, but it was solemn. As soon as she arrived, Nightingale saw a holy goddess statue erected in the center of the temple, and in front of the goddess statue, a blonde elf knelt on the ground and silently prayed.
She was wearing a sacred priest's dress, and her whole body was surrounded by holy light.
Feeling the solemnity of the temple and listening to the whispered prayers, Nightingale's heart calmed down a lot. Gradually, she became somewhat unconsciously reserved.
"Lady Alice, I've brought them."
Li Mu said.
Hearing his words, the prayers came to an abrupt end.
"Thank you for your hard work. Your mission is complete, you can leave first."
Nightingale heard a sweet voice.
Li Mu nodded.
His eyes flashed with a hint of joy. He bowed to the blonde elf and slowly retreated.
But … his steps seemed to be lighter.
In the blink of an eye, only Nightingale and the others were left in the temple.
Nightingale saw the other party stand up and turn around.
It was a female elf who looked slightly older than her. She had a smile on her face, and her emerald eyes were shining with the radiance of faith.
She reached out and pinched the corner of her priest's dress. She gave a standard elf etiquette to Nightingale and introduced herself.
"Miss Nightingale, hello. I'm Nature's Saintess – Alice Gale. "
She turned out to be from the Gale Tribe …
Nightingale was in awe.
As a famous priest tribe, the Gale Tribe had always been respected by other elf tribes. Their status was second only to the royal family!
Nightingale pursed her lips and unskillfully returned the greeting.
"Hello … hello!"
Alice smiled and said, "That's right.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your heart. Don't worry … I called you here to answer them one by one."
Nightingale was relieved when she heard the other party's words.
She hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Has the True God … really returned?"
Alice nodded. Her expression showed a hint of fanaticism.
"Of course."
After that, she gently raised her hands. A dazzling light was released from her body …
A Silver Priest!
Nightingale's pupils shrank when she felt the holy power.
At the same time, she no longer had a trace of doubt in her heart.
A Silver Priest …
Only a believer of the True God could reach that level!
Nightingale was relieved.
Then, she felt joy and excitement in her heart.
The return of the True God … I'm afraid the future of the elves will change!
However, although she was excited, Nightingale was not as fanatical as the Flame Tribe.
She was just a little happy and excited.
She thought for a moment and asked again.
"Then … the strange people I saw … they are …"
"They are the Chosen."
Alice said.
"The Chosen are warriors summoned by the Mother Goddess from another world. They came to this world in the form of the first elves. Their purpose in coming here is to assist us in reviving the elven race. "
After that, she smiled.
"Looking at your expression, you might be frightened by some of their actions. But don't be afraid. Although they have more or less shortcomings, they have no malice towards us. They are the true warriors of the Mother Goddess! "
So … it was like this!
After listening to Alice's explanation, Nightingale's doubts were finally answered.
"That's right, they are also amazing creators. The magnificent city you just saw was built by them."
Alice continued with a smile.
"From nothing to something, they used less than four months …"
She stretched out four fingers.
Four … Four months?!
Nightingale's eyes widened and her expression was filled with disbelief.
"You … You mean to say that they only used four months to build this city? Is it … is it this unique city outside? "
"That's right. So … Don't underestimate them. Although they have shortcomings, they also have strong points. They have strong creativity and learning abilities. "
"I think … This is one of the reasons why the Mother Goddess chose them as the Chosen."
Alice sighed.
Nightingale was speechless after hearing her words.
Underestimate them?
To be honest, after seeing the crazy slaughter of the players, she would never underestimate them again.
But … when she learned that the Chosen City was also built by the players, her heart was still filled with shock.
So …
Apart from fighting, Blockhead and the others also had strong construction abilities?
So powerful …
Looking at Nightingale's emotional expression, Alice asked sincerely, "Miss Nightingale, the Mother Goddess has returned.
Are you willing to stay in the Elven Forest, pick up your faith again, and rebuild the Elven civilization with us? "
After listening to Alice's words, Nightingale fell into silence.
After a moment, she sighed and said:
"Saintess, forgive me for being blunt …"
"The return of the True God really made me excited, but … I don't think that the future of our Elven Race can be reinvigorated with the return of the True God."
"The departure of the True God was the reason for our decline, but it was definitely not the only reason … Our tribe's stubbornness and bottomless benevolence were the root of our rapid decline in the past thousand years …"
"If our tribe doesn't change our original beliefs, I'm afraid that what awaits us is still decline. I think … This also applies to our True God! "
"From what I know, the True God from a thousand years ago seemed to have fallen because of excessive benevolence!"
Her voice was very serious.
This was what Nightingale had wanted to say for a long time.
But … the Elves she knew all thought that this idea was simply deviant.
Benevolence and kindness were the traditions of the Elves, the beliefs of the Mother Goddess and the Elves, how could they abandon it?
After saying this, Nightingale's heart was a little nervous.
She did not know if she would anger the Saintess and the statue of the True God if she denied her original beliefs in front of them …
But, to her surprise, Alice only smiled after hearing her words.
"You're right, we should make some changes."
She said:
"In fact, by summoning the Chosen Ones whose personalities and beliefs are completely different from ours into this world, the Mother Goddess also had the idea of relying on them to change our beliefs."
It … it was actually like this?
Nightingale was stunned.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why the Chosen Ones' personalities were so strange.
Speaking of this, Alice sighed:
"Benevolence to the enemy is cruelty to ourselves … It was only when our race was on the verge of extinction that we truly realized this truth."
Hearing this, Nightingale nodded.
She agreed very much!
"Then … Miss Nightingale."
At this time, Alice spoke again:
"Are you willing to stay and fight for the Elven Race's new future and new beliefs?"
She asked sincerely again.
This time, Nightingale was silent.
Suddenly, the hopeful eyes of the Raging Flame Tribe flashed across her mind … …
Then, she thought of those strange Elves, thought of their madness during battle, and thought of the wonderful and beautiful city outside …
Finally, she thought of the lunch box that she was locked up with …
For some reason, Nightingale was a little moved.
She looked at her thin and weak siblings beside her, then looked at Alice who was looking at her with a smile.
Perhaps … she could really usher in change.
Moreover … she also needed to find a comfortable environment for her siblings.
After a moment, she sighed:
"If that's the case … I'm willing."
After saying this, she came in front of the statue and respectfully knelt down …
…
At the same time when Nightingale knelt down, the lunch box team far away in Fei Lengcui received the mission completion notification.
[Ding —]
[Hidden Mission: Receive new companions completed]
[Mission Objective: Receive the recognition of the rescued Elven NPCs and bring them back to Fei Lengcui, completed]
[Additional Mission Objective: Reawaken the Elven NPCs' faith in the Goddess, completed]
[All players who participated in the mission will receive 1000 experience points, 300 contribution points]
[All players who participated in the mission will receive an additional mission reward — the exclusive title "Nature's Preacher"]
…
"The mission is completed?"
Looking at the system notification floating by, all the team members' eyes lit up.
"Haha, the exclusive title is in our hands! Nature's Preacher! "
"But the contribution points reward isn't that much …"
"Be content, this time we didn't do much, it was Miss Saintess who took the initiative!"
They looked at their own status bars and discussed with each other.
"Eh? Miss Nightingale's favorability has also been unlocked? "
Someone's eyes lit up.
"Are you serious? Let me see … "
"Damn! How come I only have 20 favorability points? Didn't we save them? Isn't this too low? "
"Hahahaha! Who told you to get close to her when your face was covered in blood? Let me see mine … Damn, I only have 25 … "
"Pfft, big brother, don't laugh at second brother …"
"Sigh … It's a bit low … I wanted to get more favorability points to learn skills, but I heard from Mr. Lunch Box that Miss Nightingale's lockpicking skills are maxed out!"
"Eh? By the way, captain, how much favorability do you have? "
"It shouldn't be high, after all, Mr. Lunch Box is always silent and looks a bit scary … And he killed a lot of people."
"Yeah … I remember that Elven NPCs don't like killing …"
At this point, the team members turned around and looked at Lunch Box who was looking at his status bar.
"Mr. Lunch Box, how much favorability do you have?"
They asked.
Lunch Box was silent for a moment and closed his status bar.
"Captain?"
The other players asked.
Lunch Box hesitated for a moment and said,
"100 points."
The rest of the team members: …
