The warm sunlight shone on the ground, and the cheerful chirping of birds rang out in the lush forest.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed in the world of Segers.
It was already the beginning of May. The spring breeze blew across the land, and everything was thriving.
In the past month, the construction of the new city had been a hot topic of discussion and attention among the players.
The number of players participating in the construction was also high.
At the peak, there were even nearly 250,000 players online at the same time, participating in the construction of the new city.
And the results were also remarkable.
With the help of magic, the speed of the Chinese players' construction was quite terrifying.
The characteristics of the construction maniac were once again displayed to the extreme.
Under the leadership of the veteran players, most of the 200,000 new beta players dedicated this month's game time to the construction of the new city.
Construction task after construction task became their daily routine.
With such efforts, in just over a month, the fastest guild had almost completed the construction of the most critical infrastructure.
This included the Temple of Life, the Central Square, the City Hall, the Guild Encampment, the residential area, the commercial area, and so on.
In other words, they had completed several of the official requirements for the construction of the city. They could welcome the statue of the Goddess, establish the city management system, and officially apply to display the name of the city on the game map.
However, the first guild to complete the construction was not the Mengmeng Committee as the players thought.
It was the Nature's Heart that was currently ranked first in the entire server.
However, if someone went to the construction sites of the two guilds separately, they would understand why.
Although the Mengmeng Committee had rich experience in building cities, the construction site they chose was too challenging.
Building a city in the mountains, even with the help of magic, was not an easy job.
On the contrary, the construction site was chosen at the river bend, the terrain was flat, and with the help of various NPCs, the construction speed was very fast.
At the eastern border of the Elf Forest, on the bank of the Vimur River that flowed endlessly.
A city with white stone buildings at the bottom, full of flowers and green grass, was faintly taking shape.
Gray Harbor.
This was the name given to her by the Nature's Heart Guild.
Eve changed into Wind's vest and rode the unicorn she had placed in the City of Heaven's Chosen. She stood under the city walls of Gray Harbor and looked at the city that had only taken a month to build. She nodded inwardly.
The walls of Gray Harbor had not been completed yet, and only the city gate had been built.
However, the foundation had already been laid. All that was left was to slowly perfect it.
This was a typical elvish-style city. The buildings were decorated with traditional elvish-style reliefs and patterns. They were tall and majestic, yet they exuded elegance and delicacy. Even the city gates were no exception.
It was obvious that Nature's Heart had put in a lot of effort to create an authentic elven city.
The roads in the city were also paved with white stone bricks. They were wide, straight, and extended in all directions.
Players shuttled back and forth in the city. Many of them were pushing wheelbarrows filled with construction materials.
Eve patted the unicorn beneath her. The unicorn snorted and then walked gracefully into the city.
The city was still very empty.
The main roads had been built, but there were still many places that had yet to be developed.
Eve knew that it was a plot of land specially set aside by the players.
However, as they walked further into the city, more and more buildings appeared on both sides of the road.
Some residential houses, commercial streets, taverns, blacksmiths, and workshops had been built.
Eve even saw some elves and half-elf believers.
Her heart skipped a beat. She rode her unicorn and walked over quietly.
When Eve got closer, the believers' conversation entered her ears.
"Hey, Fels, good morning."
"Myst? Why are you here? Wasn't the temple already built? You should have completed your trial mission, right? You can apply to the church to purify your bloodline and become a true elf. "
"Hey, praise the great goddess Eve! The temple is completed. The church has also informed me that I can go to Fei Lengcui to purify my bloodline. However, after thinking about it, I feel that living here is not bad. Moreover, after the temple is completed, I can directly carry out the bloodline purification ceremony here. "
"Hmm? Are you planning to settle down here? "
"Yes, hehe. After helping out here for so many days, I feel like I've fallen in love with this place, so I don't plan to leave."
"But I remember that you're planning to stay in Kainoland and become a guide priest between the two realms? For this reason, you even passed the priestly trial. "
"That was my previous idea. Now I feel that Gray Harbor is not bad, and I'm optimistic about the future of this place! As for the priest, I can do it here. The chosen ones have also invited me to stay. After I purify my bloodline, I can become the priest of Gray Harbor's temple! "
"So you were invited too?"
"You too?"
"That's right. Haven't I been helping to forge tools these days? After some time, I've become familiar with the chosen ones. They invited me to stay and be a crafting NPC or something. They even assigned me a crafting shop! "
"That's great! They also said that I can choose one of the villas here. I've already made up my mind. After settling down here, if my life is good, I'll bring Aliya and the others here and build a small garden behind the villa, just like in my hometown! "
"Aria? She's also purified her bloodline? "
"Yes, now that she and little Millie have come to the higher realm, they're undergoing trials in Kainoland!"
"That's great! Now, you're a member of the whole family. "
"I still have to thank the Goddess. This is all a gift from the Goddess! She's given us a longer lifespan and stronger abilities. She's also allowed us to come to a wider world! "
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Haha, let's not talk anymore. I have to hurry up and finish this work, then go to the square to watch the celebration!"
"Let's go together!"
… …
"So it's the elves from the half-plane who plan to settle down here."
Eve listened for a while and understood what was going on.
As the number of her believers in the Orloss half-plane increased explosively and reached the qualifications, more and more elves and half-elves chose to purify their bloodline.
As the guides who helped these elves and half-elves "ascend," the Nature's Heart Guild pulled them over to help after they started building the city.
And as they helped, these elves and half-elves seemed to be planning to settle down here.
Although Gray Harbor wasn't completely built yet, anyone could see that it would become a beautiful city.
It was normal for elves and half-elves who hadn't settled down yet to be attracted.
And to the players, this was something they were happy to see.
Even the City of Heaven's Chosen couldn't be run by players alone, let alone Gray Harbor.
Inviting some elves to live in the city, take up some positions, and become city NPCs could solve many problems.
Not to mention other things, if enough NPCs were attracted, just the NPC private quests in Gray Harbor alone could satisfy the daily needs of the players.
In a sense, it was a win-win situation.
The population of the Orloss half-plane was in the millions, and to the half-plane residents with lower energy levels, the World of Segers was still quite attractive.
In the future, there would only be more and more purified elves coming to the World of Segers.
Although Kenoran could become their settlement after they "ascended," one city wasn't enough. Letting them integrate into the player's city was also a good development direction.
At the same time, the believers living in the city could also provide faith power to the statues worshiped in the city, ensuring that the city's divine defense system could function normally.
"In the future, I'm afraid these seven cities won't just be the players' cities."
Eve smiled.
If that was the case, it would be quite good.
In a good mood, Eve patted the unicorn under her and continued to walk toward the city center.
The city center of Gray Harbor was built by the river.
When Eve arrived at the city center, the scene before her was much more prosperous than the city gate.
Not only were the buildings denser, but the number of players was also increasing.
In the city center was a square built by the river, and on the side of the square was a rudimentary pier.
The pier was very large, and one could vaguely feel the importance of the Nature's Heart. They were indeed planning to develop this place into an important port city.
Eve even saw a few merchant ships hanging the flags of the human world by the river.
On the other side of the square, there was a magnificent building that was still under construction. It looked like both a palace and a castle.
That was the headquarters of the Nature's Heart Guild.
At the same time, the Temple of Life was also built there.
The temple had already been built, and a large number of players were gathered in the square. Eve even saw many familiar figures among them.
For example, Li Mu, Demacia, Meng Han, Bi 'an, and so on.
They were all high-ranking members of the Nature's Heart Guild.
In addition, there were more players, elves, and half-elves coming from all over.
Eve even saw some short Dark Dwarves.
Today was a special day.
At least … for the players of the Nature's Heart Guild, as well as the natives who planned to live here in the future.
Gray Harbor had already met the basic requirements and could officially apply to worship the statue of the goddess and register in the map.
Eve did not approach the crowd but looked from afar.
She saw the Saintess of Life, Alice, walk out of the brand-new temple. Together with a few other elven priests, she welcomed a statue of the goddess that was nearly five meters tall.
The statue had already received Eve's blessings and could be used as a node of the faith network.
Together with the statue, there was also a translucent square crystal that shone with dense light.
That was the city's defensive core, which was personally created and bestowed by Eve in the Kingdom of God.
This would be the core of Gray Harbor's divine defensive barrier.
Distant prayers came from the direction of the temple. Faintly, Eve heard the prayers of believers.
It was from Alice.
This was the oracle that Eve had given to her. If the city built by the Chosen One met the requirements of the fallen city, then pray to her, and she would bless the new city.
Of course, the Saintess would never have thought that the goddess she piously prayed to was standing outside the crowd and peeping at them at this moment …
Upon hearing the prayer, Eve didn't hesitate. She immediately contacted the faith network and responded.
In an instant, the statue of the goddess that was worshiped bloomed with bright light.
Under the excited gazes of the players and the fanatical gazes of the elves and half-elves, green photons fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Gray Harbor.
The next moment, the flowers, plants, and trees that were transplanted not long ago in the city suddenly grew rapidly. While growing, they followed a certain trajectory in the unseen world …
Soon, the entire city became lush and verdant.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed, and the greenery was abundant, but it was not abrupt.
At the same time, the players and believers in the city also felt a gentle and warm power pouring into their bodies.
The players were pleasantly surprised to find that their experience points had skyrocketed in an instant. Those players who were at max level received buffs one after another.
As for the believers, they clearly felt that their bodies had become healthier and stronger.
This was the blessing of the Goddess of Life.
Soon, cheers and praises came from the square.
On the other side, in the game system, all the online players heard a soft sound of the system at the same time.
A new message appeared in their field of vision.
[Ding –]
[Nature's Heart Guild has completed the construction of the new city's infrastructure. The new city has been added to the game map.]
[The new city's name is –]
[Gray Harbor]
[Gray Harbor City Lord: Li Mu]
[Ding –]
[The Teleportation Array from the City of Heaven's Chosen to Gray Harbor has been activated.]
At the same time, the players noticed that the small map in the upper right corner of their vision had changed.
On the east side of the Elf Forest, on the west bank of the Vimur River, there was a new city symbol.
On it, in beautiful handwriting, it wrote –
"Gray Harbor"!
This time, it was officially recognized.
Then, the cheers of the players came from the square.
After that, it was the celebration.
The players who had held countless parties in the City of Heaven's Chosen were already experienced, and all kinds of delicacies were already served.
However, Eve had already decided to leave.
She did not plan to continue watching or participate in the celebration.
There were still six cities, and each of them had to celebrate. She did not need to participate in all of them.
Occasionally, it was enough to have a barbecue at night.
Seeing that the city was officially completed and everything was developing according to plan, she was very satisfied.
Next, she had another important thing to do.
"The first new city has been completed. I can now open the map of the World Tree Divine Kingdom."
"However, I have to wait for a while. It's better to open it after the first army's city is completed."
