The pitter-patter of rain was like silk, light and thin, covering the world with a layer of haze.
The picturesque houses seemed to be immersed in fog, and the ground paved with bricks had converged into streams. Gusts of wind with the smell of earth brushed past, rustling the green leaves of the trees and bushes that had been washed clean by the rain.
Players came and went in a hurry through the streets of the City of Heaven's Chosen. They displayed their various abilities in the rain. Some wore straw raincoats sold by lifestyle players, some held simple umbrellas, and some simply had low-level magic shields.
Of course, most of the players didn't prepare any protection, allowing the rain to wet their clothes and equipment.
Well, it was just the spring rain.
For Extraordinaire players, other than the possibility of feeling uncomfortable when their clothes were soaked by the rain, it was almost impossible for them to catch a cold.
Letting the rain pour down, it was cool and refreshing, and it was actually quite cool.
On the other hand, the players who set up stalls were almost nowhere to be seen. Only those rich players who had shops could continue to buy and sell.
Because of this, although there were many pedestrians coming and going, the whole city seemed to be a lot more deserted. There was a lack of hawking, and there was more sound of rain.
Eve quite liked this kind of weather.
She didn't know if it was because she had been reborn as the World Tree, but every time it rained, she had a kind of hearty drinking.
Of course, for her current body, which was 10,000 meters tall, most of the time, the clouds only reached her waist. If she looked with the eyes of her original body, she could only see some hazy rain clouds from high up in the sky.
The ground was getting smaller and smaller, and more and more blurred.
If one didn't look carefully, the whole world seemed to have become a tiny sandbox.
And it wasn't until this time that Eve suddenly had a sense of reality that her body was getting more and more exaggerated …
Compared to when she first revived, she had become nearly ten times larger.
This feeling was quite strange.
Although Eve moved most of the time in the perspective of her avatar, or simply put her consciousness into the God's Kingdom, she still occasionally looked from the perspective of her original body.
It was a very strange feeling.
The clouds formed a misty rolling sea of clouds under her body, which had an indescribable magnificence.
If one caught up with the sunrise and sunset, they would be able to see endless rays of multicolored light. It was incomparably bright and beautiful.
If Eve deliberately looked at the ground through the clouds, or if it was a clear day with no clouds in sight, she would be able to see the mountains and rivers beneath her.
Only by standing high could one see further.
Eve finally understood the meaning behind this sentence.
After reaching a height of ten thousand meters, even if he didn't use his Divine Soul to explore, he could still clearly see everything within a radius of three to four hundred kilometers …
It could be said that the World Tree's perspective was already the best view point.
Eve wasn't the only one who noticed this. The other players had also noticed this.
When Eve summoned the players for the first time, her treetop had become a famous attraction in Elven Kingdom.
Every player would teleport to the crown of the World Tree once after entering the game. The goal was to have a bird 's-eye view of the beautiful scenery of the Elf Forest.
There were even people who jumped down from the treetops to play bungee jumping. Because of this, there were even cases of people smashing houses and killing people …
It wasn't until Alice started to penalize contribution points that fewer people did this.
Now, as Eve's real body grew to ten thousand meters, and with the influx of 200,000 new players, her treetop welcomed another wave of sightseeing …
However, Eve didn't expect that she would also become a member of the "sightseeing" group.
Standing on the treetop of the World Tree and using the character "Wind", Eve didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This time, she was forced to come.
Beside her, the main culprit, Little Salty Meow, gazed down at the sea of clouds shrouded in mist and clicked its tongue in wonder.
He exclaimed, "Tsk tsk … This height is even better than before!
After all, it's ten thousand meters. I don't fly at this height often. "
On the other side, The Black Dragon Merril's voice came.
Its claws were holding a string of space rings. The entire dragon was twisting its body and bustling about in the treetop above.
If one looked closely, one would see that it was picking up shiny treasures from all over the treetop and putting them into the space rings.
Salty Meow looked at the jewelry and gold coins that Merril picked up from all over the place with a strange expression.
"I was wondering why it felt like the treasures in the Black Dragon's castle were getting fewer and fewer. You've plundered so much, but there's nothing left except for your big golden bed. It turns out that you hid it here."
"It's all because of the Chosen One! I'm curious … Why are so many Chosen Ones interested in the treasures in my castle? They're more interested than humans! Every time I'm not paying attention, someone wants to steal my treasures! Even Restriction Magic can't stop them! There are even people who specialize in digging holes! Especially after the arrival of the new Chosen One this time, I'm so annoyed … "
Merril said angrily.
"Pfft … It can't be helped. Who asked the Megalosaurus' treasures to be so RPG-heavy … And everyone in the server knows that the one who loots the most in every battle is not anyone else, but you."
Salty Meow could not help but laugh.
"Hmph, Merril should've deducted all their Favorability points into the negatives!"
Merril said angrily.
"But when you go to Sandstorm City, it'll probably be the same as now."
Salty Meow shook his head.
"Hey, you don't have to worry about that. Her Majesty the Goddess has already given Merril access to Sandstorm City's Divine Barrier. When Merril hides all the treasures in the deepest part of the barrier, we'll see who dares to steal them!"
The Little Black Dragon snorted and said arrogantly.
But soon, it looked at the Elven girl below.
"Hey, are you really not going to go with Merril? Among the Chosen Ones, Merril only has one friend, and that's you. "
"Forget it, Sandstorm City is too far away. Even if the teleportation circle has been officially established, it'll still take a few detours. It'll take half a day to go there."
Salty Meow shook his head.
"I see."
The Little Black Dragon was a little depressed.
Salty Meow immediately said,
"But … I'll visit you once a week, and I'll also arrange for roasted meat for you every day. I can still do that."
She patted her chest.
"Hmph, do you think Merril cares about a dragon with roasted meat? Merril doesn't care if you come or not. "
The Little Black Dragon looked up and said.
However, the swaying of its large tail seemed to indicate that it was in a good mood.
"When I'm done moving, I'll return these storage rings to you."
Merril put away the last treasure and said.
"Will the Megalosaurus also return magic items?"
Salty Meow's eyes widened.
Merril was speechless.
"What do you think the Megalosaurus is?"
"Haha, I'm just kidding."
Salty Meow laughed.
Then, she waved her hand.
"I'll give you all these storage rings. If it's not convenient to store treasures in Sandstorm City, you can use them to store things."
Myril was slightly taken aback, but he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded.
"Then Merril won't stand on ceremony."
After that, he turned his head to look at the Elven Forest, then at the Black Dragon Castle visible to the naked eye and said,
"Then, Merril will set off. Remember what you said."
"Mhmm, have a safe trip."
Salty Meow smiled and waved his hand.
And Merril also flapped his wings like a human. Then, with a long cry, he flapped his wings and flew to the south.
His figure was getting farther and farther away, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
And when the Little Black Dragon's figure was completely out of sight, the smile on Salty Meow's face gradually faded.
She put down her hand and sighed.
"After spending so much time with this guy, it's kind of hard to part with him."
"Then let's go to Sandstorm City together."
Eve said with a smile on her "Wind" avatar.
Salty Meow shook his head.
"Forget it, it's too far. And now that the City of Heaven's Chosen is further expanding, I can't leave."
The Mengmeng Committee was the main force in the construction of the City of Heaven's Chosen.
With the influx of 200,000 new players, the City of Heaven's Chosen would definitely be further expanded. As the guild leader, she would definitely be busy.
"Besides, how can Sandstorm City be as fun as the City of Heaven's Chosen? It's bare, the air isn't good, and the food isn't good. Only Merril likes it. "
Salty Meow pursed his lips.
Hearing his words, Eve smiled and didn't say anything else.
It had been two months since the defeat of the Orcs.
In these two months, not only did the players occupy Sandstorm City, but they also found the Orc Palace and completely crushed the last bit of resistance of the Orcs.
Now, the entire Death Desert had become the territory of the Elves.
After losing nearly half of their population, most of the remaining half orcs chose to surrender.
On the other hand, the Orc tribe could only hide further south in the Death Desert and continue to deal with the players who had formed their own parties.
To be honest, in front of the motivated players, their defeat and destruction was only a matter of time.
And after occupying the Death Desert, the next problem was how to rule it.
Eve didn't intend to personally intervene on this point. Instead, she completely handed it over to the more experienced Original Elf Therandier to deal with.
However, as the most important node, Sandstorm City still needed a powerhouse to hold the fort.
It was connected to the underground world and directly faced the forces of the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holdell. Only a powerful existence could hold the fort.
And Eve's choice was The Black Dragon Merril, who had ascended to the Gold rank and whose actual combat power was close to the Legendary rank.
This was also the reason why the Little Black Dragon moved.
Now that the Death Desert and the Gloom Mountain Range had become Eve's territory, the Black Dragon Castle was no longer that important, and naturally didn't need Merril to hold the fort.
"By the way, Sister Feng, why didn't I see you in the Death Desert War some time ago? Where did you go? "
Just as Eve was deep in thought, Salty Meow's question interrupted her.
She was slightly startled, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry.
At that time, I was moving alone. I don't like group battles. "
"Looks like you're really a solo player."
Salty Meow muttered.
She didn't think too much about it, because although others didn't know, she knew how powerful this professional Druid Feng was.
She was too low-key. Salty Meow reckoned that if they really fought, even Jasmine Undermoon wouldn't be her match.
Her recent increase in magic power was all thanks to Feng's guidance.
Of course, it was still not accurate.
It was just that Salty Meow had given up on accuracy, and had changed it to Ground Cleansing …
Since it was not accurate.
Then it was a battle of firepower.
Carpet bombing, there was no need to worry about accuracy if everything was blown up.
Everyone had their own way of playing. Feng didn't like to be in the limelight, so Salty Meow naturally wouldn't worry about it.
It was more interesting to occasionally ask her to go shopping and have fun.
And just as Eve was chatting with Salty Meow, she suddenly saw him frown slightly.
Eve's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly knew what had happened, but she didn't show it.
Instead, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sigh … I received news from the guild that someone is causing trouble in the City of Heaven's Chosen. Really, every time a new player comes in, they have to cause trouble. Don't they know that this is everyone's hard work?! There are so many people in the city, and it's already troublesome enough … "
The girl complained.
"It can't be helped. When there are so many people, it'll be fine when they get used to the rhythm of Elven Nation."
Eve said with a smile.
"That's the only way."
Salty Meow shook his head.
Then, he sighed again.
"Sigh, I used to look forward to the tens of millions of players during the open beta of Elven Nation, but now it seems that … the officials are wise. For a game where players participate in the story, they really can't release all the players at once. Otherwise, all the plans of the predecessors will be disrupted …"
"Sister Feng, I'll go back to the guild first. I'll look for you when I'm free."
Eve nodded.
"Okay, go do your work."
Salty Meow waved at her, and then returned to the City of Heaven's Chosen through the teleportation portal in the Tree Trunk Temple.
Eve continued to stand on the treetop, looking at the city below thoughtfully …
"There are more than 300,000 players, and the City of Heaven's Chosen is getting more and more strained. Although it can continue to expand, there will be more and more problems as the city grows bigger …"
"The bigger the city, the greater the pressure on the supply. Now, it's hard to support a real big city with the productivity of the players and elves. Maintaining order is also a problem …"
"It's time to set up an official city management system. It's not a good idea to always rely on the major guilds to maintain order. Although the system can restrain the players to a certain extent, it's not flexible enough, and it's easy for loopholes to be exploited …"
"Fei Lengcui and Kainolan are easy to deal with. The residents there are mainly elves and half-elves, and players rarely cause trouble. No players dare to cause trouble, and they can leave it to the Church of Life and Serrandier to manage …"
"But the City of Heaven's Chosen is different. Most of the people here are players, and we can't rely on the elves to restrain them. Hmm … the elves can't control these lawless buffoons who like to exploit loopholes …"
"Not only that, the range of the Death Desert and the Elven Forest has been completely opened to the players. A single stronghold won't be enough to satisfy their exploration, especially the northern part of the Elven Forest …"
"Also … there's the development and control of new areas …"
"Hmm … It seems like it's time to build a new city to evacuate the population and open the city and the Castellan System to the players."
