Elven Forest, Gray Harbor.
Players of all shapes and sizes gathered in the central square of the city. The stage in the middle of the venue was filled with all sorts of items, and the players of Nature's Heart were holding up small auction hammers, passionately auctioning them off.
There were all sorts of items being auctioned off, but many of them were exquisite crafts and priceless magical items.
Most of the items being auctioned off were said to have been looted from the mansions of the nobles after a few days of chaos in the human world's Morning Star City after accepting a hidden quest.
It had to be said that the humans in Elven Kingdom were a powerful force after all. The wealth of the nobles was not something that the Half-Orcs in the Death Desert could compare to. They had precious high-level magic scrolls, storage magic equipment that was in increasing demand among the players, and some ornaments with rich backgrounds. They had everything that one could think of.
The former was what the players needed, while the latter was what the bosses used to show off. Especially now that the Elven Forest was getting better and better, and the various cities were becoming more and more complete, the players were paying more attention to the quality of life in their own homes. Hence, there were times when rare and beautiful crafts could be sold at a shocking price.
It was also quite strange. The elves were a race that pursued art, but they pursued crafts stolen from the human world, even though many of the crafts here might have originally belonged to the elves …
Of course, if one considered the true identity of these 'elves', it would be very normal.
After all, the elves in history had spent a lot of time crafting exquisite crafts. After all, the elves were long-lived, and crafting crafts was a form of entertainment for them.
Now, the Elven Forest pursued rapid development, and most of the players were impetuous. Apart from a few Life Players who were particularly interested in crafting crafts, the others naturally had no interest in such things.
However, there were also players who were constantly paying attention to the exchange market who noticed that there was a new area for exchanging blueprints in the market. In this area, there were various crafting methods of traditional elven magical crafts.
These blueprints were naturally put up by Eve. After using the golden divine blood to further strengthen her understanding of the priesthood of 'elves', the various precious cultures and histories created by the elves since the previous World Tree created the elves were reconstructed in Eve's memory.
Of course, this included the production methods of the elves' lost magical tools and crafts.
Turning those memories into blueprints bit by bit, fusing the Players' creativity with Bluestar knowledge, and finally recreating a brand-new elven culture in the world of Segers … it was also a small goal that Eve had set in her free time.
After all, "His" priesthood ultimately included "Elves." Doing so was, in a sense, an extension and strengthening of "His" priesthood.
The more brilliant the elven civilization was, the stronger the elven priesthood would be!
This was also a method many races used to strengthen themselves by believing in the True Gods …
Although it was cheating to use players to develop a civilization, Eve had the ability to summon them.
Meanwhile, more and more elves were returning to the Orloss Demiplane. Both sides complemented each other, and it really did seem like the entire elven culture was gradually recovering. In fact, it was even developing in an even more unpredictable and mystical path …
This was a pleasant surprise.
Of course, the bountiful harvest of the players who participated in the "Save Sophia" battlefield mission naturally led to a craze among the players to fish in troubled waters in the human world …
Unfortunately, there were no hidden story restrictions. Most players could think of ways to cheat in the human world, but if they really wanted to pester a group of people to learn from Nature's Heart who had accepted the rescue mission and use the "Black Dragon Raid", it seemed that they still couldn't get the permission of the system …
In other words, it was like facing an NPC in a faction. If they wanted to do something out of line, they would be restricted by the system and lose control of their body …
However, even if the system allowed it, the players couldn't stop the Little Black Dragon.
Being able to advance to the Legendary-realm in just a few days after the beating, Eve could see the true potential of the lazy Myrtle. This guy was basically a lazy donkey that would not leave until he was beaten. That was the way to go.
So … after it ate ten whole roasted lambs provided by the players, Eve once again threw it into Sandstorm City to "isolate itself".
This time, Eve officially gave the Black Dragon's Divinity to it. She required it to become at least a demigod before the War of Gods and Devils. Otherwise, she would take back the Divinity and let the other three skeletal dragons who were molding their bodies in the God's Kingdom try to become gods.
Megalosaurus were all greedy, and Merril was no exception.
It had long regarded the Black Dragon's Divinity as its own, so naturally, it was indignant. After grumbling for a while, it obediently went to improve its strength …
In addition, the system's restriction on the players was naturally Eve's doing.
After the belief network became stronger and stronger, Eve could use the game network to restrict the players' behavior, and it became easier and easier for her.
She would never relax the restrictions on the players, especially now that the number of players was increasing, so she had to pay more attention to this point.
Otherwise, if they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, then the world of Segers would be really lively.
The players were Eve's helpers, not troublemakers.
However, the players who did not communicate much with the human world might not know the real impact of the battle in Morning Stars City, but Eve, who had gradually begun to have more and more believers in the human world, clearly understood what kind of shock that battle had brought to the human world.
More than ten elven God's Chosen and a legendary Black Dragon …
They had rescued a noble with elven bloodline in front of a Legendary Mage, many Advanced Professionals, hundreds of Silver Knights, and an army of more than 100,000 soldiers. They had even destroyed the central area of Morning Stars City …
That was not a small city, but the second largest city in the western part of the empire, second only to the capital.
For the Rosen family who controlled the empire's crusade army, for the Holy Mania Empire, and even for the Eternal Church, this was no different from a heavy slap in the face.
But strangely, this event that caused a huge shock in the upper class of the human world did not cause a strong backlash and retaliation from the entire Holy Mania Empire.
On the contrary, there were serious differences in the human world's views on this event.
One of the important reasons was a magic video that was circulating in the black market.
That was the focus of the whole event. It was a video of the half-elf girl who summoned elves, the heir of Viscount Zeloran's Wells family, Sophia von Wells, and Duke Rosen.
The magic video recorded in detail how Duke Rosen promised Sophia, and how he colluded with the Eternal Church to deceive and threaten Sophia, wanting to take the girl and the Wells family behind her into his pocket. In the end, the girl was so angry that she used the summoning idol to summon elven mercenaries for help.
When this video was released, it instantly caused a huge earthquake in the upper class of the empire. Most of the attention of the nobles in the empire was directed to the actions of the Rosen family. On the contrary, the destruction of the elves was gradually forgotten.
It could not be said that it was forgotten, but because of the scandal of the Rosen family, the strength of the elves was not so important in the human world.
On the contrary, in the black market of the human world, many forces began to inquire about the summoning idol of the elves and spent a lot of money to buy it.
It was quite interesting.
The incident in Morning Star City involved the struggle of the nobles and the game of politics.
Politics had always been a complicated thing.
The more power one had, the more powerful enemies one would have in the circle of power.
The Rosen family was in the limelight, and many nobles in the empire naturally did not like them. With such a knife appearing, there were naturally people who wanted to take the opportunity to dig out a piece of meat from Duke Rosen.
On the other hand, the main character of the incident, Sophia, who had mysteriously disappeared and was rumored to have escaped to the Elven Forest, gained the support and sympathy of many people.
Of course, how many of them truly sympathized with her, and how many of them just wanted to use the girl's experience to attack the Rosen family, was a very subtle question.
What was interesting was that Sophia's actions and the destruction of the elves were enough to deprive her of her noble status according to the laws of the empire. However, the empress of the Holy Mania Empire, Maria II, reprimanded Duke Rosen's actions and rejected the proposal of some nobles to deprive the Wells family of their noble status.
As for what kind of political struggle was involved in this, it was not necessary for outsiders to know.
But overall, the incident in Morning Star City was like a stone thrown into the water, stirring up the entire ruling class of the Holy Mania Empire. It made the situation, which had become more chaotic due to the awakening of various evil gods and false gods, even more chaotic and torn apart.
On the other hand, the Church of Eternity was quite calm. They only recalled Bishop Santis, took back his bishop status, and deprived him of his administrative and religious rights.
As for the civilians … it was naturally another topic of discussion after meals about the decadence and fatuity of the nobles and the church.
However, all of this was more or less known to the players of the Amway Chamber of Commerce who had set up downlines in many human cities.
But with the feedback of some believers, Eve was able to watch a good show.
However, this good show was also related to her. After all, she was the one who released the video in the black market with the help of the players.
This was Eve's test of the human world …
The human kingdoms were the headquarters of the Church of Eternity, and the Human God System was also the strongest enemy that Eve would have to deal with in the future. Among them, what made Eve feel the most pressure was the foundation of the faith of the hundreds of millions of people in the Human God System …
The more stable the foundation of faith was, the stronger the strength of the True God of faith.
Thousands of years ago, when the number of humans in the World of Segers was not as high as it was today, the Lord of Eternity and other True Gods were already powerful enough. But now, the number of humans in the entire universe accounted for more than three-fifths of all the intelligent races. It was really unknown how powerful the Human God System was …
Even if the number of True Gods in the entire Human God System had decreased, the accumulated divine power of each existing True God was absolutely terrifying.
And they were likely to be Eve's most powerful enemies.
Perhaps now was not the time to fall out, but after the War of Gods and Devils ended, after Eve became a great Divine Power, and after the sealed passage in the World of Segers was completely opened, she was likely to go up against the most powerful True God force in the entire universe.
It was necessary to lay some groundwork and plant some nails in advance.
At least … through this test, Eve saw the fall of the aristocrats, the decay of the churches, the fragmentation of society, and the division of classes in the past thousand years …
If there was only one word to describe it, it would be chaos.
Two words to describe it was tearing.
The corrupt political situation, the chaotic political situation, and the extremely sharp social conflicts …
Eve suddenly realized that although the foundation of the human gods' faith was very large, in reality, it might not be stable.
It was like a constantly expanding cake. Although it looked very big and gorgeous, in reality, it was filled with all kinds of holes and was not tight.
This also explained why after the seal in the World of Segers began to loosen, all kinds of evil forces could easily stir up trouble in the human world.
Because of the chaos and darkness, there were loopholes to take advantage of.
It was the same for Eve. Otherwise … she would not have been worshipped by several villages in the human world unknowingly.
A thousand mile dike could collapse because of an ant's hole.
Eve felt that to defeat the Eternal Overlords, they could not rely on a head-on battle with the gods.
However, Eve only had a rough idea of the specific operation in this area. She still needed to be cautious and experiment with the actual operation.
And this time, Sophia, whom the players had rescued from Morning Star City, was the first target that Eve planned to experiment with.
Hmm …
Perhaps it was not very humane to say that the experiment should be changed to a trial.
Eve still had high expectations for Sophia.
However, the half-elf girl that the players had brought into the Elven Forest was not in a good state at this moment …
Outside the high-class room of the Amway Tavern in Gray Harbor, Li Mu and Demacia looked at the tightly shut door and frowned slightly.
"Is she still not eating?"
They looked at the tavern waiter standing by the side, an elf from the Orloss Demiplane, and asked.
"Yes, Lord Li Mu, Lord Demacia. Miss Sophia has been locking herself in the room and not letting anyone in. It has been a few days."
The elf replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other helplessly.
"This is not good. There's still a hidden mission to convert Sophia to the Goddess … With her temper, we can't force her."
Demacia smiled bitterly.
Li Mu thought for a moment and sighed.
"Let's try knocking again."
With that, he stepped forward and knocked on the door again.
