The golden sun hung high in the sky with no clouds in sight.
Bright sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating Grayhaven, which was hidden by the lush trees and flowers.
Summer was here.
Even in the Elf Forest, where it was spring all year round, the temperature rose under the scorching sun, especially in the city.
Fortunately, the city in the Elf Forest never lacked lush plants and was surrounded by lush forests.
Although the Gray Harbor was not built for a long time, as an Elf city, it received the blessings of the Goddess of Life, Eve. Any plants planted here could grow quickly, so the city's green space had long been perfected.
The plants' photosynthesis absorbed the sun's rays, and the water vapor released by transpiration took away the heat in the air. Nearby was the largest river in the World of Segers, the Vimur River …
Where there was water, it would be cooler.
Therefore, even if one stood on the ground and looked up at the sky, they could feel the scorching sun. However, the Gray Harbor was still cool and refreshing.
North of the central city of the Gray Harbor, residential area.
Xiamu stood in front of his newly built Gray Harbor mansion and looked at the beautiful Elven house in front of him with a satisfied expression.
He was one of the First Beta Gamers of "Elf Nation" and an old member of the Nature's Heart Guild.
After his guild built a new city, he decisively moved his home to the Gray Harbor and rented out his old home in the central city of the City of Heaven's Chosen to earn some Contribution Points.
With the experience of the City of Heaven's Chosen, he expanded the size of his mansion by a few times.
It no longer looked like a mansion, but more like a manor.
There was also a large garden behind the villa, which was used by Xiamu to house his magical beasts.
In fact, this was the most important reason why Xiamu moved.
Xiamu was a Druid and a Priest Player. His main class was Druid.
Not only that, but like most of the other First Beta Gamers, he also received a Class Change Quota a few months ago and advanced to the Silver level. He also reached the peak of Level 50, which was Silver Lower level before the city was built.
He was considered a famous Silver Druid in the entire server.
However, his hobbies were a little different from other players.
Other than killing monsters and leveling up, his favorite thing to do was to raise Magic Beasts.
Unicorn, Wind Wolf, Giant Forest Bear …
Many of the rare and powerful monsters that the players knew about in Elf Nation had been collected by him and raised in his own garden.
He even had a Red Dragon Whelp that he had drawn a few months ago. He could be considered a winner in life for once.
Speaking of which … the reason why he was able to reach the silver level so quickly was because of this little fellow.
The Red Dragon's desire for battle was too strong.
Every two days, he would bring his little red dragon to play in the forest, and the red dragon would always find a magical beast to fight.
This little guy especially liked to play with his prey, always beating them half to death.
In the end, it was always Natsume who ended up at the end.
As for the magical beasts that were defeated by the little guy, if they were pleasing to the eye and could be saved, they would try to pacify them and raise them. If they were not pleasing to the eye or could not be saved, they would directly eat experience.
As a result, Xiamu collected more and more magical beasts …
However, although almost none of the magical beasts that Xiamu raised were weak after the Red Dragon's "selection," Xiamu still preferred the feeling of raising and playing with these magical beasts than sending his own magical beasts to fight.
He had always liked animals.
Ever since he licked the Unicorn in the northern part of the Elf Forest, he felt that the Magic Pet system in Elf Nation was quite interesting.
Although these magical beasts were not as intelligent as NPCs, they were much smarter than those in other games. The sense of interaction was no less than that of pets in reality.
Moreover, as long as you were sincerely good to them, they would be very loyal to you.
Xiamu liked the feeling of being intimately surrounded by his own magical beasts.
Of course, posting screenshots of himself playing with his magical beasts on the forum and posting them on Weibo was another hobby of his.
He also unexpectedly gained a lot of fans because of this.
He even received many questions from players on how to catch and raise magical beasts.
Unfortunately, not everyone could use the Red Dragon Technique.
Occasionally, he could help others catch magical beasts or help non-Druid players communicate with magical beasts.
Xiamu was quite good at this.
Because he liked Magic Pets, many of the skills he exchanged were related to magical beasts. For example, [Nature's Whisper] to communicate with all living things, [Sigh of the Forest] to calm magical beasts, [Healing Soul] to heal injuries, and so on.
It was also because he was good at communicating with magical beasts and raising magical beasts that he summarized his communication and raising experience and posted it on the official forum. He also accidentally opened up a new genre in Elf Nation —
"Beast Taming Style."
Of course, the development of this new genre later might not be the same as Xiamu's original intention.
Xiamu simply liked magical beasts.
However, many players who developed the "Beast Taming Style" created a way to raise a group of magical beasts. During battle, they would close the door and release the magical beasts. All they needed to do was to kill the opponent when the magical beasts beat the opponent half to death.
It could be said that the freedom of "Elven Kingdom" was fully displayed.
Here, there was nothing you couldn't do, only things you couldn't think of.
After entering his garden and feeding all the magical beasts of various sizes, Xiamu stretched his body in satisfaction.
He looked at the time and found that almost an hour had passed.
Of course, it was in the game.
"There are more and more magic pets, and it takes more and more time to feed them. Maybe I should hire a half-elf or elf NPC to help me take care of them …"
Xiamu muttered to himself.
In the past, players didn't dare to think about hiring NPCs.
However, as the number of players increased, more and more players began to try the trade flow game, and the common currency of the world of Segers began to circulate among players.
Although it wasn't as useful as contribution points, the common currency was a tool for players to trade with NPCs.
Even the elves in the Elf Forest gradually got used to using the common currency to buy various goods in the City of Heaven's Chosen through communication with the players.
This didn't exist in the past.
Because the elves hadn't used currency for almost a thousand years.
And the currency in the elves' hands was naturally the "salary" paid by the players who hired them.
Elf Nation had been open for a year, and four years had passed in the game. These four years were enough for the players to gain a foothold in the game and have deeper communication with the natives of the world of Segers.
Not to mention anything else, in the earliest days, when players opened taverns and shops, the ones who looked after the shops were the players themselves, especially the new players. In order to accumulate contribution points, they were often caught by the old players as coolies.
But now, many people began to hire elves or half-elves to do these things.
Especially after a large number of half-elves with pure bloodlines began to enter the world of Segers from the Orloss Demiplane.
Having received the elven inheritance and being instinctively respectful to the Chosen, they were much more suitable to look after shops and be waiters than the players themselves.
With the idea of hiring a half-elf NPC to take care of the magical beasts for him, Xiamu planned to mention it the next time he saw his guild leader, Li Mu.
Li Mu knew a lot of NPCs. If he asked him, he would definitely be able to find a professional and reliable one.
"Might as well just send a message and ask."
Xiamu thought for a while.
He found Li Mu's name in the chat list, then clicked on the dialog box and sent his request over.
After a while, he received a reply from his guild leader.
"No problem, I'll ask for you."
Seeing Li Mu's reply, Xiamu heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he whistled and called over his little red dragon that was playing with the Forest Giant Bear in the backyard.
"Lelia, come with me to the City of Heaven's Chosen."
“RUA~！”
With a childish cheer, he was pounced on by a large lump of unknown red thing, and then his face was licked with saliva.
Xiamu was speechless.
"Stop licking, it's sticky, hahaha … itchy … where are you licking?! Don't be naughty! Get off me … "
He said helplessly and dotingly.
It took him a lot of effort to finally get his Red Dragon cub off his body.
Looking at the little red dragon that stood upright and kept wagging its big tail, Xiamu really wondered if he had raised it wrongly, or if there was a dog's soul living in his red dragon's consciousness …
"You've gotten heavier again, you're growing so fast."
He touched its head dotingly.
In the beginning, he had to bend down to touch the little guy's head, but now he only needed to stand.
"I'm really looking forward to the day when you can grow to Merril's size. An adult red dragon … must be very impressive!"
Xiamu laughed.
“RUA~！”
The little red dragon also raised its head proudly.
Throwing the little guy a piece of its favorite jerky as a snack, Xiamu rode on its back.
"Let's go, first teleport to the City of Heaven's Chosen, then go to the World Tree Crown."
Recently, Xiamu had to go to the World Tree Crown every three days to clean the Supreme Temple of Life on the trunk of the World Tree.
This was his Chief Priest trial mission.
The city built by players could appoint the priest profession in the temple in the city.
When appointing a priest, they could choose a player or an NPC.
However, whether it was a player or an NPC, the person who made the choice had to meet certain requirements.
Among them, the NPC had to have the qualifications of a priest, and the player had to have a high enough reputation and NPC evaluation. In addition, they had to pass the trial mission.
Xiamu wasn't the highest-level priest in the Nature's Heart Guild, but his reputation and NPC evaluation were good.
In addition, he didn't like to run around except to catch and walk Magical Beasts, so he spent a lot of time online. Therefore, after a vote by the higher-ups of the Nature's Heart Guild, he finally won by a small margin over another priest boss who couldn't guarantee a stable online time and became Gray Harbor's Chief Priest trainee.
Of course, this was also because a certain female bootlicker was now addicted to the newly opened Shattered Kingdom of God dungeon with her best friend. She vowed that she would definitely be able to find the Goddess' hidden mission in the new dungeon …
However, Xiamu still had to pass the trial.
The trial was actually not difficult. He just had to regularly clean the temple on the trunk of the World Tree and participate in the Chief Priest training class organized by the Saintess Alice. After passing the training, he could take up the post.
However, compared to other games, it was also quite troublesome. It seemed that there was a test, which also dissuaded many priest players.
However, those who stayed were basically true love.
It wasn't the first time that the little red dragon brought its own contract partner back and forth between two cities.
It carried Xiamu with ease and flew to the teleportation portal under the envious and jealous gazes of new and old players, and teleported to the City of Heaven's Chosen.
With seven new cities, the City of Heaven's Chosen's popularity decreased a lot, but the flow of people was still the best in the entire server, and it was also the place with the most developed trade.
Xiamu rode the red dragon and teleported to the Supreme Temple of Life on the trunk of the World Tree thousands of meters away through the second teleportation portal.
He flipped over and got down from the little red dragon, threw a piece of jerky to the little guy again, and said,
"Lelia, I'm going to the temple. Pick me up in an hour."
“RUA~!”
The little red dragon nodded.
"You're not allowed to harm other players' shops, especially barbecue shops."
“RUA~!”
The little red dragon hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
"You're also not allowed to bully other players' magical beasts."
"Rua …"
The little guy curled its lips like a human and almost spat on its own contract partner's face.
"Be good, I'll take you to the North District to play later."
Xiamu patted its head.
“RUA!”
Hearing the words "North District," the little red dragon's eyes lit up, and it shouted excitedly, then flew away with its butt swaying.
Seeing the red dragon leave, Xiamu also smiled, tidied up the priest robe he put on, and entered the temple.
The Supreme Temple of Life was very large, especially after the World Tree grew again, and Alice organized a team to carry out an expansion.
During the expansion, Xiamu found out that the original Supreme Temple itself was actually incomplete. It was just a sub-temple of the World Tree's temple from a thousand years ago.
However, after the War of the Gods a thousand years ago, the World Tree fell into a deep sleep, and its main body rapidly shrank. Even the temple on it collapsed until only a sub-temple was left.
These were the secrets that Alice had told them.
However, although it was more troublesome to clean up the temple after the expansion, with the help of magic and other NPCs, Xiamu's speed was not slow.
After an hour, he completed the task.
After bowing to the statue of the Goddess and bidding farewell to the NPC priest stationed in the temple, Xiamu walked out of the Supreme Temple.
Then, he whistled again.
Of course, whistling was just a formality. In fact, while whistling, he would summon his Megalosaurus partner through the unseen connection.
However, after he finished whistling, Lilia did not return for a long time.
Xiamu frowned slightly.
He opened the Magic Pet System and looked at Lilia's interface. After seeing that the little red dragon was normal, he felt a little more at ease.
Then, he called again.
The little red dragon had not returned yet.
Xiamu was speechless.
"This guy, where did he go to play again?"
He scratched his head.
The little red dragon was good at everything, but it was too troublesome.
Xiamu sighed and summoned a few more times before he finally heard a familiar young dragon roar.
“RUA!”
It came from above.
He looked up and saw the canopy of the World Tree shake, and his little red dragon came out from it and flew in front of him.
“RUA~! RUA~!”
It neighed merrily.
Xiamu had the [Nature's Whisper] ability. Although he did not understand Dragon Language, he could understand what the little guy meant.
"Hmm? You said you found something fun in the canopy of the World Tree? "
Xiamu was slightly stunned.
It was probably the light cocoons of the born elves.
It was said that the original elves were born like this, and when the players were resurrected, they were also resurrected from the World Tree and directly teleported to the ground.
However, the little red dragon shook its head.
“RUA！”
"Hmm? It's not the common light cocoons in the past, but very small light balls, and a lot of them? "
Xiamu raised his eyebrows.
The little red dragon nodded.
"Very small, many light balls?"
Xia Mu's curiosity was aroused.
He patted the little guy and said,
"Take me to see."
The little red dragon cried happily, then wagged its tail as it carried Xiamu to the lush canopy of the World Tree.
The canopy of the World Tree was extremely huge, towering into the clouds.
Here, the clouds fell under their feet, and it was extremely magnificent.
When Xiamu rode the red dragon to the depths of the canopy of the World Tree, where he had never been before, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.
Light.
That was light.
Thousands of light balls in different colors dotted the branches of the World Tree, as if they were fruits, extremely bright.
Those light balls were constantly trembling, full of vitality and vitality.
"What is this?"
Xiamu said in surprise.
