Boxed Lunchbox's words made the players fall into deep thought.
They were also very curious about this question.
According to the setting of Elven Nation, the goddess had only been revived in recent years.
Then, during the period before the goddess's revival, couldn't the 20 million believers recreate a God of Life and Nature in 800 years?
Even if it wasn't the God of Life and Nature, couldn't other gods do the trick?
Did they have to hang themselves on the World Tree if they already controlled faith?
Couldn't they subtly change the direction of their faith?
"Maybe … it's a conflict of faith? Because the elves who are priests live longer, it's difficult to change their faith? Or because the goddess hasn't really fallen, a new true god hasn't been born? "
The calabash guessed.
"Who knows … I don't think this is something we should consider. We don't know about true gods, and everyone on the Internet is just guessing. Speaking of which … I think the information we've obtained should be enough, right? Can we submit the mission now? "
Demacia said.
The mission the players accepted was to inquire about all kinds of information.
The more specific goal was to inquire about the history of this world.
According to the information they had obtained, theoretically speaking, the requirements were already met.
However, after some thought, Li Mu looked at Demacia again.
"Demacia, you said you got the token of the blasphemers. What's going on?"
"Hey, they found out that I'm a non-believer, so they want to pull me into the organization. As long as I bring this token to the tavern they designated, I'll be able to find their informant."
Demacia said.
After that, he had an idea.
"Brother Mu, you mean … we should look for this blasphemers organization again, find them, and obtain more information before submitting the mission?"
Li Mu nodded slightly.
He did have such a plan.
However, hearing the conversation between the two, Feng Wu frowned.
"Is there a need to go through so much trouble?"
"Huh?"
The players looked at her.
"I mean, is there a need to go through so much trouble? Isn't it obvious that the blasphemers know that the Tree of Life isn't the goddess? Maybe they even worship a statue of the goddess! "
"In that case, can't we just give the token to the goddess and let the goddess descend directly?"
Hearing Feng Wu's words, the players looked at each other.
Li Mu slapped his head.
"Tsk, you're right. How can it be more efficient for us to find the blasphemers than for the Goddess to descend herself …"
"It's getting late. Let's quickly submit the mission and meet up with the goddess!"
"Meeting up? Brother Mu, do you know where the goddess is? "
Cyber asked curiously.
"I don't know, but … I'll definitely know after I submit the mission."
Li Mu replied.
…
With Li Mu's suggestion, the gamers quickly reached a consensus.
They opened up the mission system and selected to submit the mission in the game interface.
After everyone had submitted their quests, the system's soft chime rang in everyone's ears. Everyone received the system notification that their quests had been completed.
The generous reward was instantly given to him.
However, looking at the tempting Contribution Points reward, most of the players, other than the optimists, had mixed feelings.
There was no other reason.
Whenever they thought of the fact that Salty Meow had given out more than double the amount of contribution points, they couldn't help but sigh at the difference between people.
At the same time, a new mission appeared in their vision.
There were two missions.
The first was to meet up with the goddess.
The second was to hand over the blasphemer's token to the goddess.
"Heh, the goddess's mission is still simple. If this was a mission given by Alice, we would have to report our findings to her from the beginning to the end before we could receive the reward."
Demacia sighed.
The other players nodded in agreement.
In fact, the reason why Li Mu had gathered everyone was because he was used to the missions given by the NPCs. He was prepared to summarize the information and report it to the goddess.
Of course, the players would never know that as the coolie that Eve had pulled over, she could see their every move as long as she was willing.
When the players had finished their investigation, Eve already knew about their various findings.
Furthermore, because Eve was able to directly investigate each and every one of their experiences, she might know even more.
Communication between players was always accompanied by the loss of information, and no one could transmit all their discoveries without any damage.
But Eve could receive the information that they had found without missing anything. She could also use her powerful calculation ability to compare and summarize …
Looking at the updated coordinates on the small map, Li Mu was invigorated.
"The goddess's coordinates have appeared. Then … let's go and meet up with the goddess now."
The players nodded their heads in agreement.
The group paid the bill at the bar and rushed over according to the coordinates on the map.
The goddess's coordinates were not very far away.
After walking for about ten minutes, the players found the goddess's figure by the river that crossed New Rivendell.
The sun had set in the west, and night had fallen.
However, the city was still brightly lit.
The night breeze was blowing on both sides of the river. The greenery was good, and many citizens were strolling.
Eve stood by the river and quietly looked in the direction of the Tree of Life in the distance.
No one passed by within a hundred meters of her.
Every time someone approached, they would consciously turn around and leave as if they had received some kind of hint.
At the same time, they did not feel the slightest bit out of place.
The players saw Eve immediately.
It could not be helped. Night had fallen, but the goddess was still surrounded by gentle holy light. It was very eye-catching.
Of course, the goddess might have used some kind of concealment divine spell because the players noticed that the passersby did not notice the goddess's figure at all.
"My Lady Goddess, we have completed the mission and returned."
Li Mu came behind Eve and replied respectfully.
Hearing his words, Eve slowly turned around.
"Not bad."
There was a hint of approval in his voice.
"I already know the cause and effect of the matter. Give me the token."
She stretched out her hand slightly.
Demacia showed a flattering smile. He happily took out a leaf-shaped badge from his pocket and presented it with both hands.
"My Lady Goddess, I have marked the location of the tavern that those blasphemous … uh, those elves told me. Shall we go now?"
He asked with anticipation.
Eve shook her head gently.
"No need."
As she spoke, she put away the token and closed her eyes.
The next second, the token emitted a gentle halo. It was very beautiful in the night.
Eve slowly opened her eyes. Her purple eyes were calm.
"Let's go directly to the main character."
"Go directly to the main character?"
The players were all stunned.
…
About fifty kilometers southeast of New Rivendell, in a small town traversed by a stream.
As night fell, the townspeople returned home one after another. Lights were lit in the town.
It was quiet on the bluestone paved road. Suddenly, a figure with a hood and a cloak appeared under the moonlight.
He hurried past and walked to the east of the town. He did not stop until he came to a manor.
This was a manor on a small hill overlooking the entire town. It was a little dilapidated.
The figure came to the door and gently knocked a few times.
"Who is it?"
An old voice came from the house.
"It's me, Deo."
The cloaked figure said.
The door was opened from the inside with a creak. An old elf holding an oil lamp looked at the newcomer with cloudy eyes. The newcomer took off his hood.
Black hair, black eyes, and pointed ears.
This was a Shadow Elf.
"Sir Deo, you're back!"
A hint of joy flashed in the old elf's eyes.
"Yes, something happened in New Rivendell, so I came back early. Let's talk as we walk."
The Shadow Elf said as he entered the house.
The old elf looked outside vigilantly and slowly closed the door.
There was no light in the house.
"Sir Deo, what happened in the city? Did the church start to search again? "
The old elf asked.
The Shadow Elf Deo followed the old elf inside and said as they walked.
"Yes and no. Today, a strange strong person broke into the forbidden area and killed hundreds of guardian knights. Now the whole city is under martial law …"
"Mother Goddess above! Hundreds of guardian knights?! "
The old elf was shocked.
"Yes, so I came back in a hurry to report this to Master Keretz."
Deo said.
"Who is it? Guardian knights are at least Gold rank, right? And … since it's in the forbidden area, that evil giant tree can even raise their strength to the peak of Gold rank, right? "
The old elf frowned and asked.
"This is what I wanted to report to Master Keretz. It's said that it's an elf with silver hair. It's very likely that he's the legendary Moonlight Royalty. Unfortunately … the church is tracking us. I didn't have time to get the portrait, let alone find him."
Deo sighed.
The two of them walked and talked, and finally came to a secret passage that led underground.
They walked in one after the other.
The secret passage spiraled down and finally extended into an underground passage. The passage was very long and extended into the distance. Magic lamps were lit on the walls.
The two of them continued to talk as they walked in the passage.
"Moonlight Royalty …"
A light flashed in the old elf's cloudy eyes.
"They're still alive? If I remember correctly, the Moonlight Elves who came to this plane were already sacrificed in that turmoil … "
"Hey, I'm also curious about this, so I came to report to Master Keretz!"
Deo said.
After that, he continued.
"Also … I met an interesting non-believer today. Red-haired, a rare member of the Flaming Tribe. I can feel his hostility towards the evil tree. Perhaps he can become our partner. I've already given him the token for communication in our city."
"That's great! We have fewer and fewer comrades now. It's time to replenish new blood! "
The old elf said happily.
The two of them continued to move forward in the empty underground.
About two minutes later, they arrived in front of a stone door.
"I'll go and report. Please wait here for a moment."
The old elf said.
Deo nodded.
After that, the old elf pushed the door open and entered, leaving Deo behind.
After two minutes, he re-opened the stone door from the inside.
"Lord Deo, Master Keretz is waiting for you in the prayer room. Please go in."
Hearing the old elf's words, Deo was delighted and hurried in.
The place behind the stone door was very large, like a small square. Many hooded figures could be seen busying themselves.
Under the guidance of the old elf, Deo quickly stopped in front of a stone room.
"Master Keretz, Lord Deo is here."
He said respectfully.
"Come in."
A majestic voice came from the stone room.
Deo held his breath and walked in.
The stone room was not big, only about ten square meters.
In the center of the room, there was an altar, and a beautiful statue was enshrined on the altar.
It was a statue of a goddess with silver hair and purple eyes. It was extremely beautiful.
In front of the statue, there was a Shadow Elf in a black robe who looked like a human male in his thirties or forties. He was praying with his eyes closed.
His appearance was handsome and majestic. A hideous scar ran across his right eye, making him look a little more fierce.
However, the pious and quiet expression when he prayed in front of the statue made him feel a different kind of tenderness.
Seeing this figure, Deo's posture immediately became respectful.
Everything about him slowly appeared in his mind.
Keretz Shadow …
He was the leader of the Blasphemers Alliance, the spiritual leader of everyone.
He was the youngest elf to break through to the legendary rank in the history of the Shadow Tribe. In the Millennium War, he once fought against five legendary powerhouses alone. He was praised by the former patriarch of the Shadow Tribe as the genius with the greatest potential in the entire tribe in ten thousand years.
At the same time, he was also the disciple that the Shadow of the Night, Lord Eris, valued the most and was personally taught as his successor.
