Maple Moon Free Territory, Zerolan.
The city's docks were as lively as ever. Ships of all sizes were moored at the port, and people were coming and going.
Perhaps it was because the Abyss Army was repelled, which made people see the strength of the Church of Life. Or perhaps it was because there were rumors all over the world that the Goddess of Life had shown her power to hunt down evil gods, which made the mortals who had suffered from the war between gods and devils see hope. Recently, more and more people had abandoned their original beliefs and converted to the Church of Life, migrating to Maple Moon Free Territory.
The Church of Life in the city was full every day, and the streets were full of elves preaching to people.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the elves, the refugees who had just entered the city were flattered. Under a series of messages, they gratefully accepted the heavy "Scripture of Life" and kept worshipping in the direction of the Church of Life, vowing to dedicate their lives to the great Goddess of Life, Eve.
On the streets of Zerolan.
A handsome bard, wearing a felt hat and holding a harp behind his back, was curiously looking at everything in the city.
He strolled in the crowd, his eyes deep and vicissitudes of life, as if he was a wise man who had experienced a long time.
"Interesting …"
Looking at the vigorous and jumping elves who occasionally skimmed over the houses, his expression showed a trace of interest.
He withdrew his gaze from the coming and going crowd and walked toward the Church of Life.
There were many people on the streets, but every time someone approached him, they would unconsciously make way for him, and the newcomer who made way didn't notice.
The Bard was standing there, but no one was aware of his presence.
Only some elves noticed his existence.
They turned their heads in the crowd, frowned slightly at him, and whispered something to their companions.
Faintly, he also heard words such as "not a faction NPC" and "unregistered."
"Hmm? Not affected by the mental suggestion? "
A trace of surprise flashed in the bard's eyes.
After a while, the number of elves in the crowd increased significantly, and even the equipment on them became more and more sophisticated.
Under the bard's somewhat surprised gaze, the elves suddenly jumped out, took out their weapons, and surrounded him.
"Stop! Who the hell are you! "
The elves said vigilantly and seriously.
The bard's expression was even more surprised.
At this moment, he heard the elves say again.
"He must be a spy from the Eternal Church. I've been seeing him in the city recently."
"Capture him first and throw him to Demacia for interrogation. Then, he'll tell us everything."
After that, they looked at each other and nodded. They took out ropes and swarmed forward, ready to tie up the bard.
The Bard narrowed his eyes and suddenly disappeared, causing the elves to miss their target.
"Eh? Where is he? "
Their expressions were bewildered.
At this moment, someone looked around and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Look! Over there! "
"Damn … teleportation? Why did you run so far? "
"It's not an ordinary person. I'm afraid it's an NPC with a higher level …"
"Quick, go to the shrine and invite a high-tier NPC!"
There was a commotion among the elves, and they split into two groups. Some returned to the temple, while others continued to chase after the bards.
At the same time, more and more elves began to rush over from all directions.
The bard even saw some elves jumping on the buildings on both sides of the road. Suddenly, as if they had received some kind of order, they pulled out their weapons and turned around to attack him.
Soon, the elves blocked him in the alley again.
"Stop! You've been surrounded! "
"Put your hands up! Ah no … Put your hands on your head and squat down! "
The elves said fiercely.
Looking at these elves with different appearances and serious expressions, the bard's expression was even more surprised.
He smiled and seemed to find it quite amusing. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared again.
"Disappeared … Disappeared?"
"Could it be a bug?"
"What the hell!"
Pouncing on nothing again, the elves widened their eyes and were dumbfounded.
In the next second, the bard's figure appeared in another street in the city. Thinking of the puzzled expressions of the elves just now, he could not help but laugh.
But at this moment, an ethereal and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind him.
"You seem to be having a lot of fun?"
The bard was startled and almost jumped up from the ground.
He turned his head vigilantly and saw a tall female elf appear behind him.
She was wearing an ordinary elven robe, and even her appearance was ordinary. However, when she stood there, she gave off a noble and mysterious feeling.
Especially that pair of sapphire-like eyes. They were very clear, but they also had a different kind of depth, as if they could see through everything in the world.
At this moment, the bard saw the elves chasing him behind her.
However, under his somewhat surprised gaze, these elves acted as if they did not see the two of them and walked straight past them, muttering as they walked.
"Strange? Where did they go? "
After a while, only he and the female elf were left.
The bard's heart moved, and he had already guessed the identity of the other party.
His expression became serious, and he put his right hand in front of him and made an ancient salute.
"Guardian Surtell greets Her Majesty Eve, the Goddess of Life."
"I've been asleep for a long time and have just woken up. I don't know much about the current world of Segers, so … I've offended you for a moment, please forgive me."
As he guessed, the female elf was none other than Eve.
However, it was an incarnation that Eve had casually created.
Guardian?
Eve's heart moved slightly.
In the world of Segers, there was only one kind of existence that called themselves guardians.
That was the ancient gods who refused to accept the belief system and took it as their duty to protect the world.
And in Eve's perception, the other party's aura also matched one of the ancient auras she sensed that day.
Obviously, this existence named Surtell was the incarnation of one of the ancient gods that had awakened in the world of Segers.
Unfortunately, the inheritance of the World Tree lacked ancient memories, and Eve did not find any information about the name Surtell.
Eve's heart was filled with thoughts.
Surtell continued with a smile.
"Of course, you can also call us — ancient gods."
As expected …
Eve nodded secretly.
She also returned the salute and said, "Hello, Her Majesty.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Surtell. Welcome to the Maple Moon Free Territory."
After that, she looked at a certain place on the street and said, "There's a tavern in Rosella.
"There is a tavern opened by elves in Zeloran. The elven flower tea there tastes pretty good. Would you like to have a cup?"
"Elven flower tea?"
Surtell raised an eyebrow.
He touched his chin and smiled.
"Sounds good. I've always been quite interested in mortal food."
The two Mythics sat down in a private room in the tavern. The half-elf waiter served the elven flower tea. Surtell picked up the cup and sipped it gently. He looked at the bustling street outside through the window of the private room and sighed.
"After so many years, I didn't expect the civilization on the continent to have undergone earth-shaking changes …"
"I vaguely remember that before I fell asleep, the elves were still the rulers of the continent. I didn't expect that after I woke up, even the Pantheon Temple had changed owners …"
"Now, there are fewer and fewer familiar existences."
Then, he looked at Eve and said respectfully, "I'm sorry.
"Your Highness Eve, thank you for standing up when the Abyss invaded. After we woke up, we heard about your deeds from all over the continent. This is a gift we prepared to thank you for fighting against the Abyss."
After that, he took out a ball of light that was constantly flickering with dense light.
The ball of light was bright red and constantly pulsated as if it had a life of its own.
Fire Elemental Heart?
Eve's heart skipped a beat.
The Elemental Heart, as the name implied, was some kind of core composed of elemental power. It contained rich laws and was quite precious.
Every Elemental Heart could evolve into a demigod-level elemental creature in the future.
For a true god, the Elemental Heart could not only be used to hatch demigod oracles that were more powerful than ordinary demigods, but it could also be used as a precious material to forge divine artifacts.
Unfortunately, the birth of the Elemental Heart was extremely difficult. It was not easy to find even for a true god.
It was worth mentioning that one of the three true god artifacts of the former World Tree, the Origin of Elements, contained the Six Elemental Hearts.
Feeling the goodwill released by the other party, Eve smiled slightly.
"Thank you, but … as a righteous god, fighting against evil is my duty. I don't need to prepare a thank you gift for this."
"Then you can treat it as a congratulatory gift to celebrate your advancement. It's an exciting thing to have a righteous great divine power appear."
Surtle smiled.
Facing the other party's sincere gaze, Eve hesitated for a moment. In the end, she kept the Fire Elemental Heart.
Then, she pondered for a moment. With a flash of light in her hand, a golden crystal appeared, shining brightly.
"This is …"
Surtle's gaze revealed a hint of surprise.
Eve said gently.
"This is a divine power crystal that I condensed with the divine power of life. It contains rich laws of life."
"I can feel that your aura seems to be unstable. Perhaps it can help you recover your state as soon as possible."
Hearing her words, Surtle's eyes widened. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Unlike all true gods of faith that were rooted in faith, ancient gods were first and foremost a type of extraordinary life form. They had the body of an ancient god that the true gods did not have.
For the ancient gods who had recovered, the laws of life could indeed help them quickly recover their vitality.
Surtle hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of recovering his state.
He took it with some embarrassment and sighed.
"To be honest, this is indeed very helpful to us. I'll be thick-skinned and accept it."
"We … will remember your kindness."
Eve smiled and said.
"It's nothing."
Surtle seemed to be quite happy to receive the Divine Power of Life Crystal from Eve.
The two Mythical Legends sat in the tavern and gradually chatted. Surtle kept asking Eve about the current situation of the Sergs World, and Eve also heard a lot of ancient secrets from the other party. Each of them had their own gains.
Surtle seemed to be quite interested in the players and the elves. He asked Eve a lot of questions, and Eve chose to answer some of them.
"So they are your kin. I was wondering why they were immune to mental cues. It seems that … you're secretly protecting them."
Surtle was suddenly enlightened.
The two myths kept chatting and seemed to have a lot of chemistry.
However, no one knew whether Surtle did it intentionally or not. They did not talk about the World Tree, nor did they talk about the divine war a thousand years ago.
It was not until the sun gradually set in the west that the ancient god who called himself the Guardian stopped talking.
At this moment, he looked at Eve with a friendlier gaze.
Night fell. Thousands of lights were lit up in Zeloran.
Surtle stood up from his seat and said enthusiastically.
"Your Holiness Eve, it's a pleasure to meet you. I came here because I wanted to see the famous Goddess of Life on the continent. Now that I've met you and given you a gift from the ancient gods, it's time for me to leave."
"You're too kind. I also sensed your aura during the divine war. Even if you didn't come, perhaps I would have visited you in the future."
Eve also smiled.
"Hahahaha …"
Surtle laughed.
The two myths chatted for a while more before Surtle bid farewell and left.
Eve slowly withdrew her gaze until his aura completely disappeared from the range of her faith.
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
So … this ancient god's avatar came to visit just to give her a gift and get to know her?
Nothing else …?
…
East of the Continent of Segers, northwest of the Sea of Sunrise.
This was a small continent the size of the Fertile Plains. It was separated from the Continent of Segers by the Stormy Strait.
On the continent, there were lofty mountains and lush vegetation. It was full of vitality.
Between the hills and plains, there were some scattered villages. Some intelligent creatures of different forms were working in the fields.
Many of them were legendary creatures that had gone extinct in the Continent of Segers. There were even some giants over thirty meters tall. They were actually the Titans that had disappeared from the World of Segers.
In the center of the small continent, there was a continuous mountain range. There were many ancient shrines standing tall.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light. A giant burning with flames appeared in front of the largest shrine.
Seeing the fire giant, the Rock Golems guarding both sides of the temple bowed respectfully.
"Your Holiness Surtle."
This fire giant turned out to be the ancient god Surtle who had returned from the Maplemoon Free Territory.
Surtle nodded slightly and walked into the shrine.
There was an altar in the center of the shrine. On the altar, there was an ancient oil lamp.
"Your Holiness Guy, I'm back."
Surtle bowed respectfully to the oil lamp.
The next moment, the oil lamp bloomed with a radiant light. A pale blue light rose from the oil lamp and transformed into a majestic blurry giant face.
"Surtle."
A deep and weathered voice sounded in the shrine.
"How was it? Did you … see the Goddess of Life? "
Surtle nodded.
"Your Holiness Guy, I saw her."
"Is she … Uqtrahir?"
The mysterious existence named Guy asked again.
