Winter?
Coocoo took a deep breath and tightened her clothes around herself.
At this moment, a faint rumbling sound came from his abdomen.
A feeling of hunger surfaced in his heart.
Coocoo rubbed her stomach. She was not surprised.
Although she had already eaten in reality, her body in the game still needed to eat.
Especially after a good night's sleep …
She closed the window and took out the dry food that she had prepared in advance from the storage cabinet at home. She ate it as a simple breakfast.
After finishing her meal and packing her equipment, Coocoo pushed open the wooden door of her house.
When the door was pushed open, a biting cold wind blew in …
However, although it was biting cold, it was not bone-piercing, perhaps because the Elf Forest was located in the temperate zone of the continent.
Of course, because it was in the temperate zone and there were plants everywhere in the forest, the humidity in the air was relatively high.
The cold wind was not bone-piercing, but the cold air drilled into the clothes, making people shiver.
However, although it was cold, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the players.
In the central square of the City of Heaven's Chosen, a large number of players who had come online had gathered.
They chased and played in the snow, laughing and laughing happily. For a moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they had planned to complete missions as soon as they came online …
Of course, at this moment, the snowball fight of the players was different from the one in reality. There were all kinds of skills and magic spells. It was gorgeous and had a magical color.
Even Coocoo, looking at the realistic and beautiful snow scene in front of her and the players who were having fun, almost had the urge to join them.
"Elf Kingdom" …
It would always poke your itch when you were not paying attention and make you surprised by this game.
Of course, there were players who were playing in the snow in the square. Naturally, there were also players who hurriedly went to accept missions, or formed teams to clear dungeons or explore new maps.
They rode their own magical beasts and ran around the streets.
The shouts of forming parties, the cries of people buying materials and equipment, and the laughter of the players mixed together, rising and falling one after another.
It was a different kind of atmosphere.
The entire Elf Forest was like a huge machine that slowly operated as the players woke up.
"This game's weather system is really well done! What a great snowy scene! "
As Coocoo stood by the street and watched the gamers having a snowball fight, a surprised voice sounded beside her.
Coocoo turned its head slightly and saw a female player dressed in gold.
It was Salty Meow.
Both of them saw each other and greeted each other familiarly.
Then, Cooing Bird saw Salty Meow running to the open space and reaching out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes. He looked excited and curious.
The snowflakes flew into her palm and quickly turned into transparent water droplets.
Salty Meow rubbed his reddened hands, bent down, grabbed a pile of snow on the ground, and rolled it into a ball.
"It's cold and comfortable! Now that it's so hot outside, I didn't expect the game to be such a good place to escape the heat! "
She said with a hint of elation.
"Southerner?"
Gu Gu Bird asked.
"Yes! My family is from Yaodu. I've never seen snow in my entire life! I had a chance to go skiing in the Alps, but my parents were too busy and didn't make it. "
"Then I had a chance to go skiing in Hokkaido, but I was too busy and didn't make it …"
Salty Meow sighed slightly and looked a little disappointed.
A … Alps … Hokkaido …
Cooing Bird's mouth twitched.
"What about you?"
Salty Meow asked again.
"Me? My family is from the central region, a temperate monsoon area with four distinct seasons. The temperature in winter is about -4 to -5 degrees Celsius, and the air isn't too dry either. We see snow every year. "
Cooing Bird replied.
As a native of the Central Plains, the Cooing Bird had a strong resistance to snow.
Although she wasn't as used to snowy days as the real northerners, she was far more resistant to snow than the southerners who had lived for more than ten years.
She reckoned that southern players like Salty Meow would be the most excited to play in the snow in the square …
"Four distinct seasons! That's great! "
Salty Meow looked envious.
But soon, she smiled again.
"Speaking of which, the Elf Forest seems to have four distinct seasons as well. The scenery in summer and autumn are all unique. It's so beautiful. I took many screenshots! Oh … the snow in winter is also great! "
It was indeed beautiful.
Cooing Bird thought of the lush greenery in the forest in summer and the colorful leaves in autumn …
Of course, the central region with the World Tree as the core was always green.
But if one walked out of the central region, they would be able to see the wonderful scenery of the four seasons.
It was a very beautiful forest, enough to make many photographers go crazy.
There were already a lot of screenshots of the Elf Forest on the Blue Planet's internet.
"Oh, yes! Sister Cooing, have you seen the update? There's an equipment binding system! "
After playing in the snow for a while, Salty Meow thought of something serious and looked at Cooing Bird excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I saw it."
Cooing Bird nodded slightly.
"Haha, it's just in time! I was worried that I would lose the Lionheart Longsword that I bought. I didn't expect the equipment binding system to be added in this update! Now, even if I rent it to someone else, I won't have to worry about losing it! "
Salty Meow said happily.
But after the excitement, Salty Meow mumbled a few more words.
"But there's one thing I'm not used to. The equipment binding system still needs to be maintained and we have to spend contribution points regularly. I don't know what the developers are thinking. They're already working so hard, but they're still cutting leeks."
"Now, the official website is criticizing the developers! They're saying that the system binding is too much. But the developers are still cold and indifferent. They haven't replied … "
"Yes, but it'll definitely be good in the end."
Cooing Bird nodded slightly and said.
Salty Meow smiled.
"Hehe, I think so too. Also, the developers didn't find any loopholes in the binding system. We can bind it when we need it and not when we don't need it. I plan to let whoever rents the Lionheart Longsword pay for the maintenance!"
"But I'll have to maintain my own equipment. I've spent too much this month, so I'll have to save some money."
She said as she counted with her fingers.
"By the way, Sister Cooing, it seems like we can go to the human countries now. Do you want to go and take a look?"
After saying that, Salty Meow smiled and looked at Cooing Bird expectantly.
But when she saw Cooing Bird's thoughtful expression, she asked curiously,
"Sister Cooing, is there something on your mind today?"
Cooing Bird paused for a moment.
She looked at Salty Meow and thought for a while before saying, "I have some doubts.
Recently, I've been reading some ancient books about the elves at home. I have some doubts about the location of the elven capital. "
"Amazing! Sister Cooing Bird can read ancient books now?! My head hurts when I see those twisted tadpole words … "
Salty Meow said in admiration.
But soon, her expression turned into excitement.
"The elven capital? The elves have a capital too? Is it a ruin? Where is it?! Can we go and explore it?! "
"It should be a ruin similar to Fei Lengcui. If the ancient book's description is correct, after this update, we might have a chance to find it."
"It's just that … there are some contradictions in the ancient book's records."
Cooing Bird thought for a while and told Salty Meow what she saw in the ancient book …
"The descriptions in the two ancient books are not the same? And according to one of the ancient books, the location of the elven capital is actually in the human world? "
After hearing Cooing Bird's words, Salty Meow frowned.
"Yes, that's why I'm going to ask Alice."
Cooing Bird said.
"I'll go too! I'll go too! If it's really in the human world, then it'll be fun! "
Salty Meow heard this and quickly came forward.
Her face was full of excitement as she wanted to stir up trouble.
…
"The location of the elven capital?"
In the Divine Nature Palace, Nature Saintess Alice, who had changed into a thick winter priestess robe, was slightly startled.
She put down the Nature Code in her hands and looked at Cooing Bird, who had come forward to ask for her advice, with a complicated expression.
"That's right, Lady Alice. I saw records of the elven capital in two ancient books, but … they contradicted each other. One of them said it was in the Elven Forest, while the other indicated the specific location outside the Elven Forest."
Cooing Bird replied.
She hesitated for a moment and continued.
"And … I remember that many Chosen Ones have asked the elves about the ruins and their locations."
"Among them, we've heard of the two cities, Kainolan and Milovia, but we don't know their specific locations. Moreover, they're too far away for us to explore."
"But even so, there's more or less information about these ruins, but no one in the elven capital has ever mentioned it …"
"If I hadn't seen it in the ancient book, I wouldn't have known that the elven race used to have a capital."
Nature Saintess Alice fell silent after hearing Cooing Bird's words.
After a while, she sighed slightly.
"If you ask others about this, you might not get an answer, but I happen to know something."
"It's been a thousand years since the destruction of the Elven Kingdom. In a thousand years, too many things have been annihilated in the dust of history. A thousand years is a long time, even for the long-lived elves …"
"Under such circumstances, if the elders keep their mouths shut about certain information, this information will naturally disappear along with history …"
Cooing Bird's heart skipped a beat after hearing Alice's words.
"Lady Alice, you mean … the elves don't know about the elven capital?"
"How is that possible …"
Alice let out a long sigh.
"The younger elves might not know, but the older ones do. It's just that … "
Her expression was slightly serious.
"Everyone knows why you're inquiring about the ruins. They also know that you're fearless and brave …"
"However, the location of the elven capital is a little sensitive."
"There are some things that can't be revealed. Although the Mother Goddess has awakened, her identity is also very sensitive. If we tell you the location of the elven capital, it's easy to expose the Mother Goddess's secret …"
"And …"
Alice's expression was slightly gloomy.
"The elven capital is a period of humiliating history. It's also a pain in the elves' hearts, so … most of the elders don't want to talk about it …"
"That's not right!"
At this moment, Salty Meow suddenly shook his head and said with a serious expression.
"Humiliating history should never be forgotten, because that's an escape from the past!"
"Only by facing humiliating history can we learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes!"
"Isn't the goal of the elves to rise again?"
"Didn't we defeat all our former enemies?"
"If that's the case, then the more humiliating history is, the more we should pay attention to it and make it our goal!"
"As for the secret of the Goddess … We are the chosen ones of the Goddess, so we'll naturally keep it a secret for her!"
She said with a serious tone.
Hearing her words, Alice shook her head gently.
"But … although you chosen ones were summoned by the Mother Goddess, you're not a monolithic piece of iron."
"If you're in a completely unfamiliar environment, will everyone really keep the secret for the Mother Goddess?"
Salty Meow and Cuckoo Bird both paused.
Yes …
Although their goal was to help the elves recover.
Among the players, there were always some weirdos who didn't take the usual path.
In the underground world, it was said that there were players who wanted to find excitement and tried to reveal the secret of the Goddess.
Of course, for some reason, the NPC didn't seem to care about what the player said, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying …
In this regard, the players who knew about this thought that this might be because the game officials didn't do the plot line of the player rebellion from the beginning.
In other words, even if the player rebelled, they wouldn't get any follow-up interaction from the NPC.
Of course …
They didn't know that it was just that Eve temporarily canceled the relevant player's language conversion ability by intercepting keywords.
In the ears of the natives, the player's words were all in Chinese.
And if the player did something too extreme, the system would directly take away his control of the body.
With the recovery of her strength, Eve's control of the game system became stronger and stronger. Things that she didn't dare to think of before could now be done with divine power.
And all this was unknown to the players.
At this moment, hearing Alice's rhetorical question, Salty Meow and Cuckoo Bird didn't know how to answer.
"But …"
After a moment, the elven girl sighed.
"You're right …"
"The humiliating history shouldn't be forgotten, because that's an escape from the past …"
"Actually, I've only really understood this recently. The elves have declined to this day, blindly avoiding and enduring stubbornness are also very important reasons."
"If the Mother Goddess hadn't recovered, if it weren't for you, perhaps … the elves would really have been wiped out."
Then, she bowed slightly to the two players.
"Thank you, brave chosen ones. Thank you for your contribution to the elves."
This bow made Salty Meow and Cuckoo Bird a little uncomfortable.
The two hurriedly helped her up and at the same time said that this was what they should do.
Then, Alice's expression became more solemn.
"But … this time, the Mother Goddess has also issued an oracle to allow a certain number of chosen ones to explore the area outside the Elven Forest. It seems that the Mother Goddess has made preparations."
"So … I can tell you about the Royal City."
Hearing this, Salty Meow and Cuckoo Bird looked at each other with surprise.
But soon, Cuckoo Bird's heart stirred.
"Could it be … that the Royal City is really outside the Elven Forest? In the human world? "
Alice didn't directly answer her question.
She took a few steps forward and came to the window of the temple. Through the window, she looked into the distance …
Outside the window, the falling snowflakes had completely suppressed the greenery of the City of Heaven's Chosen, dyeing the whole world into a snow-white world wrapped in silver.
A short moment later, Alice let out a soft sigh. There was a trace of sadness on her face.
"You don't know …"
"Actually, a thousand years ago …"
"The area of the Elven Forest was much larger than it is now, much larger …"
"The Elven Royal City was indeed in the Elven Forest …"
"But that was the Elven Forest in the past."
