Goblin Priest?
Eve's heart sank.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for goblins to give birth to a priest because they had neither totems nor beliefs.
But once a goblin priest was born, it meant that the tribe might have given birth to a racial totem, or they might have pledged their allegiance to a god …
If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter …
Thinking of Basaka's deliberate hiding, Eve already had some guesses in her heart …
Only by pledging their allegiance to a god would the Oak Tree Guard be wary of taking action!
"Who is it?"
A magnificent voice resounded in Basaka's mind, but this time, the voice had a hint of seriousness.
Basaka instantly understood what Mother Goddess was referring to. He took a deep breath and replied respectfully in his consciousness.
"According to my observation, it should be the God of Winter and the Hunt — Oulleur."
As expected!
Eve's heart was heavy.
This was exactly the same as the target she had guessed!
She knew that the Half-Orcs had planted a tribe near the Elven Forest.
And as the largest source of believers for the God of Winter and the Hunt, the Half-Orc tribe was also Oulleur's eyes.
From the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve already had a certain understanding of Oulleur.
Oulleur was a relatively young god of faith. It was said that he was born from a primitive totem two thousand years ago and had the strength of a weak peak divine power.
His priesthood was Winter and the Hunt. Early in ancient times, he was at odds with the World Tree that controlled nature, life, and elves. In the war of the gods, he was also an enemy of the World Tree.
After the fall of the World Tree, this cruel god did not give up on persecuting the elves and was currently the elves' biggest enemy.
Therefore, he was also on Eve's must-kill list, whether it was to avenge her predecessor or for her own safety and strength …
And now it seemed that this god was still collecting the crystallized divine blood of the World Tree!
In order to find the target, he even recruited the goblins!
Although the goblins had low intelligence and the power of faith they provided was pitiful, they were afraid of the strong and were very suitable to be labourers. Therefore, Eve was not surprised that they were chosen by Oulleur.
However, Oulleur's search operation should not have started long ago. After all, the divine blood crystals were in a sealed state before this, so it was very difficult for creatures to discover them.
Thinking of this, he had some guesses.
"Could it be that … Oulleur, the God of Winter and Hunt, has discovered the changes in the God's Blood Crystal and wants to obtain the Priesthood of Nature and Life by analyzing the collected God's Blood Crystal?"
Oulleur's Winter and Hunting Priesthoods were secondary Priesthoods. They were one level lower than the Nature and Life Priesthoods, so their strength was naturally weaker.
The reason why Oulleur was still a weak Divine Power for so many years was because his priesthood was too weak.
Winter and hunting were related to nature and life in the first place.
Therefore, Eve was not surprised that Oulleur wanted to obtain the Priesthood of Nature and Life by analyzing the World Tree's divine blood.
After all, to a True God, analyzing the God's Blood Crystal was the fastest way to obtain information about other True Gods' priesthoods.
However, Eve did not think that Oulleur would immediately associate the changes in the God's Blood Crystal with the revival of the World Tree. At most, he would think that the Divine Curse had disappeared.
After all, thousands of years had passed. It was normal for the Divine Curse to disappear without an owner …
Besides, Eve was not worried that Oulleur's plan would succeed.
Now that she had revived as the World Tree, she had regained control over nature and life.
Priesthoods and the power of control were unique. Therefore, even if Oulleur risked his life, he would not be able to analyze the Priesthood that he desired.
Oulleur's real plan fell through the moment Eve revived.
Even so, absorbing the God's Blood Crystal of the World Tree would provide Oulleur with a certain amount of Divine Power and make him stronger.
This was not what Eve wanted to see.
After all, the God's Blood Crystal of the World Tree should have belonged to the successor, Eve. This also meant that she had a chance to quickly recover her strength!
Thinking of this, Eve continued to ask.
"How strong are those Goblins?"
"Most of them are Level 5 and above. A few Elites are Level 10. However, the Goblin Priest has the strength of a Level 11 Lower Dark Iron. I'm not sure of the exact number of Priests at the moment."
Basaka replied.
Their strength was not considered strong.
Eve nodded in her heart.
With this level of strength, if not for the possibility of being discovered by Oulleur, Basaka could wipe them out with a single finger.
"The leader of the Priests is Level 11, the Elites are Level 10, and the rest are Level 5 to Level 9 …"
"This level is quite suitable for the players to train their troops."
Eve muttered in her heart.
After a few days of missions, the strength of the three hundred players was no longer the same as before. Most of them had advanced to Level 7 and above.
Not only that, but some of the daily grinders and game designers had relied on missions to advance to the final level of Apprentice, Level 10. They were only one step away from the Dark Iron rank.
With this level of strength, it would be difficult to deal with other powerful Dark Iron monsters, but it was more than enough to deal with the Goblins. Even if it was a Level 11 Lower Dark Iron Priest, the players could still defeat it if they worked together.
These days, although the players had been working hard on missions, at the same time, the long-term repetitive work had made many of them bored.
Up until now, there were already many brave players who ignored the System's novice guide and attempted to explore outside the safe zone.
At this time, the best way was to find some entertainment for them.
Originally, Eve had planned to let Basaka drive some suitable monsters from outside the safe zone for the players to entertain and level up. When they reached Level 11, she would encourage them to go out and have fun.
However, the appearance of the Goblins made Eve see a better way.
"After all, Basaka is a Druid who worships nature. Although he doesn't say it, if I really let him drive wild beasts away, it will definitely affect his belief … However, the Goblins are different."
"The Goblins belong to the enemy camp, and their strength is on the weak side. Hunting them won't affect the native believers' perception, and their strength won't be much of a threat to the players."
"Not only that, letting the players hunt the Goblins can also disrupt Oulleur's plan and indirectly gain the approval of the Elven souls."
"Also, the players can help me find the God's Blood Crystal! Let me get out of the near-death state faster! "
"Hehe, looks like I'll be able to get the first return from investing in the players soon!"
Thinking of this, Eve had a plan in mind.
She was going to design a sub-plot and develop the game's first "dungeon mission" in the ruins of Jade Lengcui to let the players deal with the Goblins!
The players were different from Basaka.
Basaka was Eve's adorer and believer. Attacking Oulleur's minions would attract the attention of the other party.
However, the players were different.
Although they had the appearance of Elves, they were not believers.
Not being believers meant that their souls didn't have the mark of the gods.
In fact, it didn't matter even if the players were believers. Their souls were in Bluestar, and only their consciousness came here. If Oulleur wanted to investigate the existence of the mark of faith, they had to go to Bluestar first.
In the war of the gods thousands of years ago, the gods witnessed the fall of the World Tree with their own eyes … and they firmly believed in it.
If the players attacked, it would at most make Oulleur suspect that some Elves who had lost their faith had returned to the Elven Forest. It wouldn't arouse his suspicion of the revival of the World Tree.
Moreover, the Goblins living in the ruins of The Holy City Emerald were an insult to the proud Elves. It wasn't surprising that the angry Elves would attack.
Under such circumstances, if there were no believers of the gods involved, just a few Goblins being killed wouldn't attract too much attention from Oulleur.
Eve didn't think that the Goblins of Emerald Emerald were all that Oulleur had recruited. Since there were Goblins here, then the other Elven city ruins scattered around the Elven Forest might have been infiltrated by Oulleur as well.
Of course, Eve didn't think that she could hide it for long.
Since Oulleur had discovered that the seal on the Crystallized God's Blood had been broken, it was only a matter of time before he realized that the curse of the World Tree had been broken.
Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before he sent out his adorer to investigate the World Tree …
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Eve was exposed.
Fortunately, the only true god who had noticed the Crystallized God's Blood was Oulleur, a weak god with divine power.
Eve had to increase her strength as soon as possible …
For this, it was worth taking some risks.
Thinking of this, Eve made a decision.
"Basaka, I have something to tell you."
