After accepting the exploration mission from the Goddess, the players landed on the ground.
"Then … to increase efficiency, let's split up. Everyone can communicate and share information in the team channel. We'll gather at sunset."
Li Mu looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and said.
The gamers nodded in agreement.
It was morning, and there was still half a day before sunset. It was enough time for them to gather information.
"Also, don't be too playful. Focus on the mission first."
Li Mu added.
As he spoke, he glanced at Demacia, who was looking left and right, rubbing his hands expectantly as his eyes darted around.
"Don't look. I'm talking about you, Dema."
Demacia was speechless.
"Brother Mu, am I so untrustworthy?"
Demacia looked at Li Mu bitterly.
"I want to trust you, but you have too many records. If you want to have fun, finish the mission first."
Li Mu shook his head.
Then, he looked at everyone's equipment and reminded them, "Everyone, change your clothes.
"Also, everyone, change your clothes. Our equipment is too eye-catching."
"Okay, let's start."
After Li Mu finished speaking, the players began to move and changed into ordinary clothes.
They often dealt with NPCs, so they had all kinds of clothes, such as traditional Elven robes, human aristocratic clothing, and mercenary equipment.
After changing their clothes, everyone split up and left.
…
Li Mu changed into a set of mercenary equipment.
After splitting up with the players, he didn't step into the city gate. Instead, he observed the main road outside the city for a while.
The city was bustling, and there was a lot of traffic at the city gate. He could see all kinds of magic beast carriages going in and out.
There were all kinds of NPC races, but most of them were humans, followed by half-elves. There were very few purebred Elves.
Most of the NPCs wore traditional Elven robes, and the Elves and half-elves' robes were much more gorgeous.
In addition to the magic beast carriages, some of them rode on mounts. There were tall horses and all kinds of magic beasts. Li Mu even saw unicorns.
The Elves and half-elves' mounts were obviously better than the other NPCs.
This made Li Mu realize that the Elves and half-elves had a high status in this world. It wasn't just from the NPCs' clothing and mounts. It could be seen from the attitude of the other races' NPCs toward them.
Every time an Elf passed by, the other races would stop and salute.
He observed for a while and thought for a while. Then, he took off his mercenary equipment and changed into the traditional Elven robes.
It was the "deluxe version" that he got from Old Priest Sammir.
Then, Li Mu took out a dark silver wand, which was engraved with exquisite patterns, and began to chant.
As he chanted, the staff emitted a bright light. A silver light condensed in front of him and finally turned into a handsome unicorn.
[Magical Beast Mount Summon]
This was the magic of the magic staff. The effect was to summon a Magical Beast Mount that was created by magic. It could be maintained for six hours and had a cooldown time of one hour.
This magic staff was a divine weapon that Li Mu got from the broken kingdom. It took him a lot of effort to repair it.
Riding on the Magical Unicorn, Li Mu tidied up his clothes. Then, he swaggered onto the main road and joined the crowd, rushing toward the city gate.
After the NPCs around him noticed him, Li Mu was acutely aware that their attitude had changed.
The humans and other races stopped and saluted him. Even the half-elves lowered their heads to show respect.
Especially when they passed by the city gate, the two human soldiers at the gate were dozing off, but when they saw Li Mu and the unicorn he was riding, they instantly became alert. They hurriedly stood up and even faintly bowed their heads and waists.
Ah, this …
It was like driving a top-notch Maybach S into an ordinary residential area.
Li Mu could not help but think to himself.
At the same time, he sent his discovery to the team channel, telling everyone that there would be a surprise after they put on the beautiful elven gown and mount the Unicorn.
However, naturally, Li Mu was ridiculed by many people.
"Brother Mu, do you think everyone can summon a mount like you?"
"Damn you, stinky boss!"
Li Mu was speechless.
Looking away from the chat interface, Li Mu entered the city gate.
The city gate was very tall. It was at least twenty meters tall and made of gray boulders.
After passing through the gate, he finally arrived in the city.
His vision suddenly opened up. Li Mu saw a bustling street. There were rows of buildings on both sides. The main road paved with white slabs was filled with people.
The style of the buildings had the characteristics of the elves, but it lacked the elegance of the traditional elves. Instead, it had the splendor of human city buildings. The main building materials were wood and stone. The main color was gray and brown intertwined.
The roofs had traditional elven spires and domes. There were also decorations such as double pillars and arcades outside the buildings. The buildings facing the street generally looked more orderly and solemn.
The greenery of the city also followed the elven style. It was done very well. Looking around, there was always greenery between the buildings. The trees on both sides of the road were also lush. There were also fountains and gardens on the streets.
"What a beautiful city …"
Li Mu could not help but praise.
To be honest, this city was much more beautiful than the human cities in the Maple Moon Territory.
Only the elven cities in the Elven Forest could be compared to this.
Of course, there were still differences between the styles of the two. The exotic atmosphere brought by this difference made Li Mu, who liked sightseeing, quite fond of it.
He took screenshots along the way and also turned on the video recording. He was ready to make a video after the mission.
Along the way, he also observed the residents in the city.
The residents were still mainly humans, followed by half-elves. The proportion of professionals was very high. Although it could not be compared to the Elven Forest, it was probably more than 30%.
Of course, most of them were half-elves.
In comparison, the number of elves was very small.
But every time an elf passed by, they would be treated with respect by others.
Including Li Mu.
Along the way, there were people constantly bowing to him.
Not to mention, in this kind of game that focused on virtual reality, even if he knew it was a game, it was still quite satisfying.
After enjoying the respect of the NPCs for a while, Li Mu randomly found a passerby and inquired about the location of the nearby tavern.
"Tavern? Elf … Lord Elf, which tavern do you want to go to? I can lead the way! "
This human resident spoke in fluent elven language enthusiastically.
Li Mu nodded slightly and said,
"The tavern with the most people and the best underground news."
"Underground news?"
The other person was stunned.
Then he thought and said,
"Lord Elf, if you want to inquire about some information, you might as well go to the Demon Hunter Guild …"
"Oh, you should be here to participate in the Guardian Knight selection, right? There are still three days before the Mother Goddess's trial. If you want to inquire about the trial ruins, the Demon Hunter Guild is the most suitable place. "
Guardian Knight selection? Demon Hunter Guild? Mother Goddess trial?
And … ruins?
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly grasped the key words from the resident's mouth.
"Where is the Demon Hunter Guild?"
He asked without batting an eyelid.
The passerby pointed into the distance.
"Follow this road and turn right when you reach the end. The largest building you see is the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Guild."
"Thank you."
Li Mu nodded slightly and threw a gold pound to the passerby. Then he rode the magic transformed unicorn in the direction he pointed.
The passerby subconsciously took the gold pound and looked at it repeatedly. He was pleasantly surprised.
"Gold coins?"
"Thank you, Lord Elf!"
…
After circling around a block, Li Mu arrived at the Demon Hunter Guild that the person had pointed out.
It was a seven-story building. It was like a landmark in the city. The whole building was leaning towards the elven style. It was built with grey-white boulders, and there was a wooden board decorated with exquisite patterns hanging on it. On it was neatly written in the elven language, "Demon Hunter Guild".
In front of the guild, professionals came and went. Many of them were half-elves and powerful human professionals. Other than that … there were also the occasional elven.
There was a stone tablet in front of the door with a sentence engraved on it:
"With my flesh and soul, I forge the longsword of the Mother Goddess and protect the peace of Minder."
Below this sentence was the reason for the establishment of the Demon Hunter Guild. Li Mu took a look and found that it was an organization built by professionals, similar to the Mercenary Guild in the World of Segers.
However, their mission was different from the mercenaries in the World of Segers. Their main mission was to help the Mother Goddess's church fight against those believers of evil gods …
"Believers of evil gods … Are they referring to those murlocs?"
Li Mu was deep in thought.
He thought for a moment and dispersed the summoned unicorn incarnation under the surprised gaze of the attendant at the door. He then walked forward and pushed the door open to enter.
After entering the building, Li Mu came to a grand hall.
Although it was called a hall, it looked more like a combination of a tavern and an office hall. He could see the bar counter and the wine court, as well as the counter for issuing missions.
There were many professionals in the hall. Most of them were at the Silver rank and a few were at the Black Iron rank. With Li Mu's strength, he was considered above average here.
Elves, half-elves, humans, and various other races were here.
Most of them were wearing combat equipment. On the contrary, Li Mu's gorgeous elven robe looked a little different.
Seeing Li Mu come in, the voices in the hall obviously became softer.
Li Mu keenly noticed that many people cast curious gazes at him.
But after seeing his elven appearance, their gazes quickly carried a hint of respect and slowly withdrew.
Only a few elves were still looking at him with inquisitive eyes.
Li Mu noticed that most of them had black hair and black eyes.
Looks like … They are the lost Dark Shadow tribe.
He thought in his heart.
At this time, Li Mu was glad that he chose black hair and black eyes when creating his character.
After choosing a seat and sitting down, a professional quickly came to greet him. It was a black-haired Dark Shadow Elf.
"Yo! Your Excellency! You don't look familiar. Are you also here to participate in the Guardian Knight selection? "
He said enthusiastically.
As he said that, he turned to the human attendant in the hall and said:
"Two glasses of Mindel wine, thank you."
Li Mu nodded without batting an eyelid. The elf's expression was happy:
"That's great! Do you have any teammates? If not, I would like to recommend myself. Hmm … My name is Robert, I'm a Silver Warrior. "
Li Mu shook his head lightly:
"Sorry, I already have teammates."
"Alright, that's a pity."
The elf was a little disappointed.
As he said that, he sighed:
"Sigh … It's really hard to find a teammate of the same race. I've been looking for many days."
Hearing the elf's words, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat:
"Why must I find a teammate of the same race?"
The elf was a little surprised:
"Don't you know? As the guardian race of Her Holiness the Mother Goddess, if we team up, it'll be easier for us to gain recognition in the ruins and gain the favor of Her Holiness the Mother Goddess. From there, we'll gain great power and become a Gold Professional! We'll be chosen as the Guardian Knight of Her Holiness the Mother Goddess! "
As he said that, he sighed:
"The magic power of the world has been falling. It's getting harder and harder to become a High Professional. However, the attacks of the believers of the Evil God of the Sea are getting fiercer and fiercer. If we don't have the blessing of Her Holiness the Mother Goddess and become Guardian Knights, it'll be difficult for us to resist …"
Her Holiness the Mother Goddess …
This was the second time Li Mu heard the elf call her that.
However, he was very sure that it was definitely not referring to the goddess Eve who was traveling with him.
Could it be … the Tree of Life that the goddess mentioned?
At this moment, the elf's next words made Li Mu frown slightly …
He saw the elf pick up the wine brought by the waiter and drink it in one gulp. Then, he looked at the flow of people coming and going outside the window and sighed:
"Unknowingly, it's been a thousand years since our tribe came here … When I was young, I heard stories of the past from my grandfather. In the blink of an eye, I'm not young anymore.
"If the ancestors knew that we've finally revived Her Holiness the Mother Goddess, they'd probably be very pleased …
"It's said that the church received an oracle from Her Holiness the Mother Goddess some time ago. Her Holiness the Mother Goddess is only one step away from restoring her strength. When that time comes … no matter what the Evil God of the Sea is, they'll be wiped out one by one by Her Holiness the Mother Goddess!"
The elf said excitedly.
Hearing his words, Li Mu was a little silent.
The Goddess of Recovery?
No …
They definitely didn't revive the goddess!
Connecting what the elf said, combining all his own knowledge, the various background introductions in this mission, and some of the information that the goddess had said these days, Li Mu had some guesses in his heart …
Perhaps, the elf was referring to the giant tree that the goddess called the Tree of Life.
They treated it as the World Tree.
Not only that, the Tree of Life seemed to have its own consciousness, and it was very likely that it had stolen the faith that belonged to the goddess.
But Li Mu was still somewhat doubtful.
Even if a thousand years had passed, the Dark Shadow Tribe should still have a demigod oracle.
Could it be that the demigod oracle couldn't distinguish between the truth and the lies?
The elf didn't notice the change in Li Mu's expression.
He sighed secretly, and there was a trace of sadness in his words.
"It's a pity that Sir Eris, who sacrificed everything to revive the Mother Goddess, won't be able to see that day."
Sir Eris …
Li Mu's eyes moved slightly.
After Aurora's return, he crammed the history of the elves.
And the name Eris was not unfamiliar to him.
He was one of the eight demigod oracles under the goddess, the guardian of the Dark Shadow Tribe, and was respectfully called the Shadow of the Dark Night.
And at this time, there was a sudden commotion not far away.
Li Mu looked over and saw a few elves and half-elves quarreling.
The one in the center was an elf from the Dark Shadow Tribe. His expression was gloomy, and the half-elves around him looked angry.
Noticing Li Mu's gaze, Lobel turned his head and looked over.
He glanced at the quarreling professionals, sneered, and snorted.
"It's that bastard Rordan again, hasn't he had enough?"
"Bastard?"
Li Mu was slightly surprised.
"It's that gloomy face who is quarreling with others. He once had a younger brother who participated in the Guardian Knight selection and was chosen as a Guardian Knight by the Mother Goddess."
"Everyone knows that after becoming a Guardian Knight, everyone will receive a strengthened will from the Mother Goddess, and have a firm belief and powerful strength."
"This is a very glorious thing, but that bastard Rordan thinks that the Mother Goddess controlled his brother's thoughts and turned his brother into a puppet without self …"
"What a joke! The Mother Goddess has been fighting against the evil Sea God for us, and he dares to question the Mother Goddess's greatness! He questions those Guardian Knights who died in battle! "
"If he wasn't a Dark Shadow Elf, he would have been expelled."
Lobel said angrily.
