Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 135 - 134: Clues of the Underworld

Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Clues of the Underworld

The largest stronghold of the Half-Beasts near the Elf Forest had been demolished.

This also meant that the southern region of the Elf Forest had been completely reclaimed by Eve, the main southeastern external passage had been opened, and the elves in the forest were no longer threatened by the Half-Beasts.

As for where the fleeing Half-Beasts would go, that was not something Eve was concerned about.

Eighty percent of them would probably head south, where the Half-Beasts’ old lair was.

Eve knew that destroying the Half-Beast Tribe was just the beginning. Her words before killing the Night Walker were more like some kind of declaration of war.

Uller certainly would not let it end there, and the war with the Half-Beasts would probably continue.

However, with the warning of the “Death God’s Favored,” it would likely take another form.

It was highly likely to be a true mundane racial war!

War meant a lot of deaths.

Many deaths meant that Eve could seize the opportunity to absorb some life force.

Little by little, it was still quite terrifying.

Of course, if it could attract some legends to join the fight and lead them into the Elf Forest to serve as appetizers, that would be even better.

Before that, Eve needed to further enhance the strength of the players and fortify the Elf Forest like an impregnable fortress.

At the same time, she needed to send out more native NPCs to recall the scattered clansmen from all over.

The Flame Tribe had settled down, their lives gradually getting back on track, and they were slowly getting used to the presence of the Chosen Ones and the mission system.

This was a good omen, at least proving that the direction Eve was striving for was not wrong.

Therefore, after the players completed the task of destroying the Half-Beast stronghold, Eve ordered Old Priest Samir to pick some people to continue the journey of finding the clansmen.

The players’ battle had broadened the horizons of the young elves.

Upon hearing about it, many young Fiery Flame Elves eagerly signed up, almost all wanting to follow Samir, which earned him a stern scolding from Philosier.

Additionally, Black Dragon Mairrel was left by Eve in the dilapidated castle of the Dark Mountain Range.

The southeastern exit of the Elf Forest was still very important. The strategic significance here was immense, and it indeed needed someone to guard it.

And Black Dragon Mairrel was a good choice.

This was originally its lair, the little one was not weak in strength, and now it had already signed a sell-soul contract, so Eve was at ease handing it over.

But this time, Mairrel was not pleased:

“No! Mairrel didn’t want to stay here!”

“There’s nothing here! No roasted meat! No honey! No clansmen! No long-ears to work and massage for Mairrel!”

“Rua——!!! Mairrel wanted to stay in the Elf Forest!”

The Little Black Dragon was rolling all over the ground like a spoiled husky, with no dignity of a Gold species.

Eve: …

*This guy… had completely forgotten that it was initially a captive and had completely turned into a pet, right?*

“There is a Teleportation Array, you can return at any time. Moreover, if you accept my faith, I can grant you the ability to issue missions to the Chosen Ones. This way, even if you’re guarding here, there will be many Chosen Ones coming to serve you.”

Eve tempted.

“Really? I can also issue missions to them?”

The Little Black Dragon’s eyes lit up.

It thought for a moment, muttering softly:

“Then Mairrel would reluctantly believe in a bit.”

After saying this, it stood up, slightly bowing its head toward the core area of the Elf Forest, and said in the undulating voice of Dragon Language:

“Praise Nature, praise Life, praise the great World Tree—Yggdrasil!”

The little one was not an elf, so it did not speak the name of the elf dominator.

But it seemed to long for the World Tree, especially adding this title.

And as soon as the words fell, Eve felt a surprising surge of faith power crossing the void into her divine persona.

This faith power had a capacity equivalent to that provided by a devout believer!

And in the sky of Eve’s Divine Country, a little star representing Mairrel’s faith appeared again.

However, Mairrel’s faith was not that of a devout believer, nor a pious follower, but merely a shallow believer!

This quite surprised Eve, and it also helped her understand why True Gods were interested in dragons.

If merely a shallow believer could provide so much faith power, what about a devout believer or even a saint?

The faith potential of dragons was indeed terrifying!

Of course… Dragons were very proud creatures and rarely became pious followers.

Even if they believed in some True Gods, many of them did so for certain material or spiritual needs, and most were merely shallow believers.

But after consideration, Eve still decided to give Mairrel blue-level task NPC authority at the level of a devout believer.

And after gaining the ability to issue tasks, Mairrel immediately became happy.

These days, it had not missed observing how native elves issued tasks to players.

Although it couldn’t see the system, the enthusiasm and excitement of players when accepting tasks and their unparalleled positivity when completing tasks made it envious.

After all… For the players, Dragon Saliva was good, but it was merely a good magical material, less attractive compared to experience points and contribution points.

And Dragon Blood and Dragon Scales… Well, whoever dared to mention Black Dragon would get beaten up.

Therefore, as the elves of the Flame Tribe became familiar with the mission system, fewer and fewer players came to serve the little one.

This made Mairrel rather dissatisfied at one point.

But now it was different, it could also issue tasks!

Immediately, the Little Black Dragon flew up, muttering to itself as it flew:

“Rua——!!! Now I can make them work well for Mairrel! Hmm… First, repair Mairrel’s castle! Then find treasures for Mairrel! Roasted meat and massages are needed daily! Rua——!”

…

Having arranged Mairrel’s guard duty, Eve began contemplating the next direction of player development.

Continuing infrastructure development was necessary, and lifestyle players also needed further expansion, especially the renewable farming industry.

The players’ appetites were simply too good, and now, the safe zone had practically no larger animals left…

The remaining ones were those that either didn’t seem appetizing or were inedible.

But these were all small matters, left to Alice to arrange.

Eve only needed to think about the main storyline and large side storylines.

And very soon, Eve recalled Rivendell—the Elf Ruins that players had been frantically searching for earlier!

“Due to cross-border restrictions, the True God’s reactions have always been slow, Uller’s next move shouldn’t be so fast, so during this time, I can use Elf Ruins as a side storyline.”

“According to Alice, Rivendell is connected to the Underworld and has many monsters, which might further enhance the players’ strength and bring me some life force feedback…”

“Hehe, it’s said that the Underworld is very chaotic, and True Gods rarely get involved, maybe I can feast to my heart’s content.”

“Right, there’s also Boxed Lunch, if I remember correctly, he should’ve been captured by humans, he could also become a key in a side storyline.”

“I wonder how players’ exploration has been going these days, whether they’ve found clues of Rivendell…”

Thinking of this, Eve immersed herself in her consciousness, connecting with the game system, and inputting the term “Rivendell” in the information query.

This was an ability of the game system she created.

Upon query, all related content that players mentioned “Rivendell would be surfaced in Eve’s consciousness, allowing her to quickly understand the players’ movements.

After inputting “Rivendell,” Eve thought again and also entered “Underworld.”

Rivendell was connected to the Underworld, they should be related.

Soon, Eve received a lot of information feedback!

It turned out that the mission of destroying the Half-Beast stronghold had significantly influenced players’ exploration, with many initially choosing to find Rivendell temporarily giving up.

However, some players persisted.

As Eve expected, based on the feedback, even those players who continued exploring had not yet found the location of Rivendell.

But when receiving content feedback on the “Underworld,” Eve discovered something different…

“Hmm? Some players seem to have been continuously discussing it… Hmm?! They found clues to the Underworld?”

“Eh? This is… the Boxed Lunch team!”

“Is it Boxed Lunch?”
