Cao Lingxuan and Mao Mo walked in the direction of the music and came to a solemn temple.
The temple's style was completely different from what they had seen in the City of Heaven's Chosen. White stone pillars engraved with reliefs and Elvish characters stood on both sides. The core building was a dome-shaped hall surrounded by fresh flowers and green grass. It looked more like a fantasy from another world.
In front of the shrine was a spacious plaza. In the center of the plaza was a statue of a Holy Maiden surrounded by a fountain. A banquet of various fruits and delicacies had been set up around the statue, and players of all shapes and sizes sat around the banquet. The entire plaza was as lively as a celebration.
After arriving here, the two of them saw the source of the sound.
There were a few players holding musical instruments in front of the fountain. Some had IDs, while others didn't. They were either playing guitars, wooden flutes, or strange musical instruments that the two of them had never seen before.
However, the most attractive thing wasn't the band or the lively banquet. Instead, it was a temporarily built high platform in front of the temple.
There stood two elven players with outstanding temperaments, dressed in elegant robes.
They were a man and a woman. They hid their IDs and looked at each other with deep love. There were many players with IDs around them who were jeering and throwing flower petals at them.
On the other side of the high platform, there was a male elf master of ceremonies in a white priest robe. His ID was Li Mu. He was holding a round fruit stick as a microphone, smiling as he said, "Don't worry.
He smiled and said, "Then … Mr. Noah, do you take Lady Constance as your wife. Regardless of illness or misfortune, will you take care of her and accompany her?"
Hearing the emcee's words, the male elf blushed.
He said excitedly, "I … I do."
Then, the emcee looked at the female elf.
"Lady Constance, do you take Mr. Noah as your wife. Regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of hardships, will you stay by his side and support him?"
The blush on the female elf's face almost spread to the tips of her sharp ears. She nodded gently and said, "I do.
"I … I'm willing …"
The emcee's smile became gentler.
"Then … good! Next … let's welcome our guest — Lady Zero, whom everyone affectionately calls' Big Sister ', to give our newlyweds her blessings! "
"Big Sister! Big Sister! "
"Big Sister Cat! Sister Meow! "
The cheers of the players could be heard from below.
Then, Cao Lingxuan saw a female player in an elegant black dress with a hidden ID and an elf girl with the ID of Little Salty Meow walk up the stage with a garland in her hand.
"Big Sister! She was the real big sister! Alive! He's even more handsome in real life! "
Mao Mo's excited voice came from beside Cao Lingxuan.
Then, this gamer shut-in manga artist excitedly squeezed into the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, the girl could no longer see him.
Cao Lingxuan: "…"
She looked in the direction where Teacher Black Cat had disappeared, and then looked at the black-dressed, black-haired female elf with exquisite facial features on the platform.
"Is this a famous superstar player? Even Teacher Black Cat was so excited? Lord Zero? Is it a hidden ID? "
The ceremony on the stage continued.
The female player, who was called Big Sister by the other players, smiled faintly. She took a garland from the Elf girl beside her and placed it on the two newcomers' heads.
"This is a garland blessed by the goddess. I wish you happiness forever."
"Thank you! Thank you! "
The two rookies looked excited.
After putting the garlands on the two rookies, Lord Zero and Salty Meow retreated to the back. The emcee, Li Mu, continued speaking enthusiastically.
"Then … with Goddess Eve as our witness, let us wish the two newlyweds a lifetime of love and eternal union! Bliss and happiness! "
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
The surrounding players began to jeer.
Some players who were holding magic short guns aimed their muzzles at the sky and shot out blue elemental bullets. Some mage players who were wearing tall hats laughed and chanted spells, releasing magic that looked like fireworks.
For a moment, the sky was filled with radiance.
As for the banquet below, it became even more lively.
The entire wedding venue was filled with a heart-warming atmosphere.
Looking at the excited and passionate players, listening to the joyful tunes they played and the laughter that came one after another, Cao Lingxuan fell into a daze for a moment.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in her mind.
The atmosphere in this game … is too good!
At this moment, she envied the two players in the center of the banquet who were blessed by everyone.
Although it was common for players to get married in online games, Cao Lingxuan, who didn't play online games much, thought that it was just a self-deceiving online relationship.
There were some who got married, but they were the minority of the minority.
But at this moment, she suddenly understood why many online games had marriage systems.
It was because … it felt great!
Seeing the other players enthusiastically giving their blessings and the blissful expressions of the two players on the stage, Cao Lingxuan even had a trace of longing in her heart.
When I get married in the future … will there be such a scene?
But soon, she pinched her cheeks.
Don't think about it.
I'm so busy with work that I don't even have a boyfriend. How can I get married!
Hmm … it's not bad to be single. At least I can do whatever I want.
Long live single!
Cao Lingxuan comforted herself.
But even so, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What a great wedding …"
"Yes, it's really an enviable wedding."
A somewhat emotional, somewhat complicated, and somewhat envious female voice came from the side.
Cao Lingxuan turned her head and saw a female player dressed as a Bandit standing beside her. She had black hair and black eyes, and her gaze toward the center of the banquet was a little blurred.
Cao Lingxuan subconsciously looked at the other party's head and found that she had also hidden her ID.
"Why do so many players in this city hide their ID?"
She muttered in a low voice.
Seeing her gaze, the female Elf smiled brightly.
"A new Chosen One?"
"Ah … yes, I just started playing today."
Cao Lingxuan replied.
The female elf sized her up, nodded, and said with a smile, "Don't worry.
"I see. Welcome to the world of Segers. But … don't be reserved. When you get used to it, you'll grow quickly. "
Then, she stretched out her hand.
"I'm Nightingale Shadow."
Nightingale Shadow?
Cao Lingxuan secretly remembered the ID and then shook the other party's hand.
"Hello, I'm Vieruodis."
"Vieruodis? Nice name. "
Nightingale raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
Then, she casually took two drinks from a red-haired afro who was holding a tray and handed one to Cao Lingxuan.
"Here, try it. It's a specialty of Jade Lengcui — Flower Tea."
What skillful movements!
Cao Lingxuan's eyes lit up.
However, out of the corner of her eye, she quickly noticed that the player with the name "Demacia" above his head, whose drink had been stolen by Nightingale, was sitting at one of the banquet tables. He was looking at his empty tray in confusion …
Cao Lingxuan was speechless.
That player was definitely not a waiter, right?
Definitely not, right?!
Noticing her strange gaze, Nightingale smiled.
"Don't worry, the drinks here are unlimited. He can even get them himself."
Cao Lingxuan was speechless.
The corner of her mouth twitched, but she still took the Flower Tea from the other party.
The girl held the wooden cup and looked curiously at the amber translucent liquid inside.
Just holding it in her hand, a refreshing and strange fragrance rushed to her face, making her feel refreshed and couldn't help but have an urge to drink.
Cao Lingxuan swallowed her saliva and then poured the flower tea into her mouth.
The cold drink entered her mouth, sweet and slightly sour. The fragrance of the flowers quickly spread throughout her mouth, and the cool taste made her feel as comfortable as drinking iced drinks on a hot day.
Cao Lingxuan's eyes lit up.
"It's delicious!"
"Isn't it?"
Nightingale squinted her eyes and enjoyed the flower tea with a smile.
Cao Lingxuan nodded heavily. She looked around the venue and couldn't help but ask.
"Is such a wedding often held in the game?"
"In the game …"
Nightingale was stunned, then she shook her head.
"No, this is the first time."
Then, she looked at the couple who were receiving blessings from the crowd, and her gaze softened.
"This wedding is led by the Church of Life and organized by the Nature's Heart Guild and the Mengmeng Committee Guild. It's specially held for Noah and Constance's wedding."
The Nature's Heart Guild … Teacher Black Cat said it was the biggest guild in "Elven Nation", no wonder the event was so lively.
Cao Lingxuan understood.
But Nightingale was still talking.
"Noah and Constance are both members of the Elven Guard. In the previous War of Faith, they participated in the Chosen One Army of the Nature's Heart and the Mengmeng Committee as supporters. This time, many of the people who came to their wedding are the higher-ups of the two guilds, as well as their Chosen One friends in the guilds."
So that's it.
Cao Lingxuan nodded.
On the way here, Teacher Black Cat had told her that the players had just fought a huge battle with more than a hundred thousand people. It was very exciting.
And the opening plot that she had seen before, the final battle scene had been taken from there.
But for some reason, listening to Nightingale's words, Cao Lingxuan felt that something was wrong …
But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"So … they got together during the mission?"
Cao Lingxuan asked again.
Nightingale paused for a moment, then smiled and said,
"You could say that. But at first, Noah was chasing Constance, but he wasn't good at chasing girls, and Constance was afraid of men because of some bad experiences in the past …"
"In the end, with the help of the Chosen One, Noah helped Constance overcome her fear during the battle in the Desert of Death and moved her. Constance also accepted his love."
Androphobia …
This female player must have had some bad memories in the real world.
Cao Lingxuan guessed.
But …
With the help of the Chosen One?
These words … why did they sound so strange?
The girl muttered.
Nightingale looked in the direction of the players and sighed slightly.
"I have to say, some Chosen Ones are really good at chasing girls."
Cao Lingxuan pursed her lips.
"But there are also many scumbags, especially on the Internet."
"Scum … scumbag?"
Nightingale paused and didn't seem to understand what Cao Lingxuan meant.
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Cao Lingxuan sighed.
"Everyone knows how to sweet talk, but you can't judge a book by its cover …"
Hearing the girl's words, Nightingale chuckled and then said,
"Don't worry, the Elves will always be loyal. They won't do that."
After that, she looked again at the newcomers who were surrounded by a group of players who were drinking fruit wine. She seemed to be reminiscing.
"One of them escaped from the Holy Mania Empire, and the other returned from the Gloom Mountain Range. It's already a miracle for them to be able to reach where they are today. The life they are living now is something they didn't even dare to imagine in the past, so … everyone cherishes every day."
Wait …
The loyalty of the Elves has nothing to do with us players, right?!
And … the Holy Mania Empire?
The Gloom Mountain Range?
What's that place?
Some kind of plot?
Escape?
Return?
Did they encounter a difficult mission?
Or did they abandon the game and come back?
Cao Lingxuan was a little confused.
At this time, she finally felt her lack of understanding of the game's terminology.
She could understand every word that Nightingale said, but when they were connected together, she was a little confused.
"Also, this is a good start for the Elves."
Nightingale continued.
She looked in the direction of the temple with devout eyes.
"Noah and Constance are the first pair of newcomers to come together since the revival of the Elves. Whether it's the temple or the people of the various tribes, they all attach great importance to this. That's why … Lord Zero personally appeared and gave them the Goddess' blessing wreath."
Cao Lingxuan was speechless.
After listening to Nightingale's words, the girl finally realized what was wrong.
This female player who hid her ID … seemed to have been speaking in a role-playing tone.
NPC？
No … impossible.
She should be some kind of role-playing player, right?
The kind that was common in school …
Chuunibyou?
Hmm …
In that case, this Nightingale was most likely not the elder sister, but the younger sister.
Although she looked quite mature, it was just a game.
The appearance was set according to one's preferences.
Didn't Black Cat Teacher pinch the face of a shota?
She called it "My youth is back" …
If that's the case, this soon-to-be aunt also had a young girl's face.
Cao Lingxuan sighed, thinking that she had found the truth.
At this time, she saw Nightingale's eyes light up as she looked in a certain direction in the crowd.
Cao Lingxuan followed her gaze and saw a group of players with better equipment than the other players. The leader was a male player with a calm temperament.
Cao Lingxuan glanced at the other party's ID.
This time, she didn't hide it and called for a bento box.
"I have something to do, I'll leave first! Miss Vieruodis, I hope you have a good time! "
Nightingale left these words and then happily ran toward the group of players.
Looking at the bright smile and faint blush on the elf girl's face, Cao Lingxuan sighed slightly.
"This is youth …"
"What youth?"
A clear male voice sounded from the other side.
Cao Lingxuan turned her head to look and complained.
"Black Cat Teacher, your voice … I'm really not used to it."
"Really? I quite like it, it's young! "
Mao Mo, who had returned, said.
He looked at Nightingale who ran to the bento box, then looked at the emotional Cao Lingxuan and asked curiously.
"Little Cao, when did you start talking to Nightingale?"
"Hmm? Black Cat Teacher also knows Nightingale? "
Cao Lingxuan was a little surprised.
"How can I not know? She's one of the famous NPCs in 'Elf Nation'. She appeared during the closed beta and has excellent Thief skills … In addition, she's the first choice for players to learn Thief skills, many of which are necessary for exploring ruins. "
"N … NPC?!"
Cao Lingxuan widened her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim.
This, this, this …
That, that, that …
The one who was talking to her so naturally was actually an NPC?!
Wait …
The girl suddenly raised her head and looked at the "players" around her who didn't have IDs …
Cao Lingxuan was speechless.
A somewhat ridiculous thought came to her mind.
These elves were no different from other players except for their IDs …
Could it be … they were all NPCs?!
Those two newbies … were also NPCs?
No, no!
If they were all NPCs, why did Nightingale look like a girl in love just now?!
Wasn't she looking at a player with an ID?!
An NPC falling in love with a player?!
This game … what was going on?
For a moment, Cao Lingxuan's thoughts were a little messy.
