As soon as she said that, the players' expressions became strange.
At first, Edward and the others didn't know if their lifespans had changed after becoming Players.
However, some of the more observant Players managed to find a contract in a corner of the System — it came into effect the moment they became Players.
It was mentioned that their believers would still grow and age after becoming Players, and their human lifespans would still keep them in check. However, since Players were immune to most diseases and greatly reduced the rate at which their bodies aged due to oxidation, the Players had actually surpassed the average human lifespan of fifty years in this world. As long as Xi Wei didn't drag them along, they could generally live up to two hundred years!
Moreover, he had even created a series of Noble Quest for the Players. So what if they had to live for a hundred years if they could complete it?
Although the Elves were long-lived species, and it was said that they could live for more than three thousand years, except for a few Ancients, even the oldest Elf was only about a thousand years old — because the last War of Gods and Demons happened a thousand years ago! The wood elves who could survive the shockwaves of the War of Gods and Demons had all become Ancients, while the rest were merely youths born in this era.
That was why, unlike the forty or fifty years the wood elves had imagined, Jessica, a human, would have to wield Sefarim for at least two hundred years, which wasn't a short time even for elves.
"Ahem. Since you've put it that way, we naturally agree." Edward gestured for his companions not to let the cat out of the bag while he spoke seriously to the Elven Queen.
Beside them, Brom found the humans' expressions weird, but he didn't think too much about it since he had always looked down on them. He simply found them even more irritating.
"Since we're done with that topic, let's move on to the next." The Elven Queen shifted her gaze from Sefarim and Jessica to Edward, their leader. "I've just received an oracle from the Silver Moon Goddess … Lady Luna seems to have decided to ally with your deity. That is why the wood elves who worship the Silver Moon are your allies from this day forth. "
"Huh? Oh … "Edward did a double take before nodding blankly.
He didn't feel any sense of belonging to an ally.
Before, the system said that the Temple of Justice's people were their allies, which made many players incredibly excited. They wanted to find their so-called allies and help them enforce justice.
In the end, the Players had already overpowered the Barren Giant, killed the Marsh Drake, and killed the Drake with a single blast from Jessica. The Players had defeated all those powerful monsters that normal humans would never encounter in their entire lives, and yet they didn't even run into a single Temple of Justice believer! Even so, the Players had already defeated every single one of them!
Damn, is the justice of this world so deeply hidden!?
"Moreover, although it's a little late to say that, I'm very grateful for your help in defeating Tigarex the Drake that had always been a great threat to Trinia's safety." The Elven Queen added. "As expected of a hero chosen by the God of Games to ally with us."
Edward smiled awkwardly but politely. "No, actually, we only came here to collect wild herbs to complete our mission …"
"As allies, I can give you some rewards … Tell me, what do you want?"
The Elven Queen smiled. "Although I can't give you anything too outrageous, I can fulfill most of your wishes."
Edward and the others looked at each other, with Joe being the first to speak. "Should we claim our quest rewards first?"
The others all thought that it was a good idea, and hence turned on the System page in front of the Elven Queen, intending to see what quest rewards the System would give them before deciding to ask for rewards from the Elven Queen.
In the eyes of the Elven Queen and the others, it was as if Edward and the others had suddenly lost their focus and their minds.
What's going on? I could understand even if you're huddled in a circle whispering to each other … but what's the meaning of losing your soul without saying a word?
To put it simply, it was like a boss of a company asking a bunch of candidates what salary they wanted, only for the candidates to mumble before lowering their heads and playing with their phones in unison. It was incomprehensible …
The Elven Queen's impression of the Players changed slightly from 'brave, sincere, and not bad'.
It was only after a moment that Edward looked up again with a face full of righteousness. "Rewards and whatnot aren't important to us, but I think we should build a building to commemorate our friendship!"
The other Players all nodded in agreement.
The reason was simple: after turning in their quest and claiming their rewards, they received the last quest in the quest chain called 'The Greatest Treasure of the Elves'.
The quest was simple: come up with a way to convince the Elven Queen to plant a Lifestone in Trinia.
In return, the Elven Queen naturally nodded in agreement — Luna, the Goddess of the Silver Moon had given similar instructions in her oracle just now so that the believers of the God of Games could build a Wonder Stone.
"That's not difficult. I will agree to your request in the name of the Goddess of the Silver Moon. However, only one-third of the believers of the Goddess of the Silver Moon in Trinia are pure believers, while the other third are pure believers of the Goddess of Nature, while the last third are elves who worship both sides or other gods. That is why your building can only be built where the believers of the Goddess of the Silver Moon are. "
"No problem." Edward naturally replied confidently.
"Good. When can you finish it?" The Elven Queen asked.
"Today." Edward answered without hesitation.
"… Today?"
"That's right."
With Xi Wei's building blueprint, the Count would not have to worry about the lack of facilities in the city!
Hence, Edward and the others planted the quest item in the largest square in the district where the believers of the Silver Moon Goddess were.
As the elves stared in bewilderment, the Lifestone, as a mature wonder building, built itself up.
It must be said that the Lifestone was the most beautiful building in Xi Wei's series, to the point that the elves were very satisfied with the translucent stone that floated in the air.
"Here …" The Elven Queen was about to say a few words of encouragement after their alliance when they arrived at the square since most of the wood elves had yet to accept humans.
But in that split second, the Lifestone seemed to be having diarrhea, and a whole bunch of Players came out with a loud splash.
After all, Gou Dan had been livestreaming their trip to the elven capital, and many Players couldn't hold back from coming here to play.
And when the Lifestone was built, they naturally formed a group and came for a tour.
"Is this the elven capital? It looks so grand! "
"Why are the houses all white? Aren't their eyes playing tricks on them? "
"Those are the wood elves, right? They're so beautiful!"
"Oh, Marni, you're here too. Did you bring my AWM?"
"I did. I'll give you the goods when I pay."
"Give me the stuff first. Are you afraid I won't pay?!"
"The last guy who said that to me ran off with his sister-in-law with tens of thousands of Rions."
"This square is so big. Can I set up a stall here? Bone Scale Breastplate, blue quality, 50 game coins each. If it's fake, I'll pay you back ten times … "
"Scammer! Pay me back my hard-earned money!"
The Elven Queen felt her blood pressure rising at once at the sight of the square that had become a mess. If she hadn't cultivated herself all year round and kept herself in check, she might have chased every single one of them out of Trinia City.
Heroes? These fellows from the Church of Games must be a bunch of idiots!
In the instant that the Elven Queen unwittingly revealed the nature of the Players, she didn't know that she was slowly ushering in a new age of Players.
