The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 818 - 500: Elf

Tate.

Without a doubt, the center of the world.

Although the Elves have gradually waned, this is already known to the world. In the past few centuries, they have slowly lost control over various continents.

Humans and Beastmen have successively revolted to gain sovereignty.

But in this central part of the world, in this homeland where the Elves grow, they still firmly control it, and it is undoubtedly their territory.

Saterwa, located in the plains, the Spring Breeze City.

It is also a trade city of various Elf tribes. In this backdrop of a major split among the Elves now, this city is undoubtedly neutral, serving as a link between various groups and a hub for trade and exchanges between their cities.

Although called the Spring Breeze City, it is rather the Pure White Tower, towering over a hundred meters high, that makes it more renowned.

Under the illumination of the first light of sunrise,

the Pure White Tower emits a pure radiance, nourishing everyone in this city.

And this light carries power.

That is the Holy Light.

And surprisingly, the Pure White Tower is inscribed with the symbol of the Holy Light, making it clear that this is a city led by the Holy Light Church.

And the City Lord of this city is the Saintess of the Holy Blade, who holds quite a reputation among the Elf tribes.

Now the Night Watcher and Maxim are staying in this city.

They returned to Tate half a year ago.

"The Saintess has returned from the Seat of Life."

An Elf nun devoted to the Holy Light came to the place where Maxim and the others resided.

"Thank you for informing us, we will be there shortly."

Soon, Maxim led the Night Watcher towards the central Pure White Tower.

On the streets, one could see more people coming and going, primarily of Alien Races, including but not limited to Humans, Dwarves, and even a few Beastmen, not to mention races like the Half-Elves.

"Maxim? Are you heading out to eradicate evil? I heard you previously dealt with the vicious beasts of the northern mountains." An Elf noble suddenly stopped Maxim and the others.

Though his words sounded like flattery, his tone was undoubtedly sarcastic.

Before Maxim could reply, it seemed as if he saw something rare and looked behind Maxim.

"Humans? Half-Elves? Have you fallen to using such servants?"

The Night Watchers behind Maxim all frowned in unison.

"Shut your mouth. If you dare insult my companions again, then we shall meet in the arena."

Maxim said without hesitation.

"What?!"

Obviously, this Elf noble had some conflict with Maxim, but he was perplexed by Maxim's sudden reaction.

"Is there something wrong with my hearing? Or are you playing some amusing game?"

The Elf asked.

Maxim no longer had any desire to continue the conversation: "Lady Vionasha is still waiting for me. If you have any semblance of noble etiquette, you should step aside."

"Vionasha... ha." The noble's disdainful expression made it clear he had no respect for the Saintess of the Holy Blade either.

He gently tidied his clothes.

Regaining a calm demeanor, he looked at Maxim with a noble's posture, revealing a beautifully wrapped paper invitation in his hand.

"The invitation to next month's Light Bathing Banquet. Please do me the honor of attending."

Though he had conflict with Maxim, he showed no improper manners where it mattered.

Maxim accepted it.

"If I'm still here at that time, I will attend."

"?"

A clear confusion appeared on the Elf's face.

"Such a short time, where are you going? Well, never mind, I'm not forcing you to attend.

I'll take my leave; enjoy your game."

He still thought Maxim was playing some amusing game.

He left with a group of servants.

Watching his departing figure, Maxim exhaled and shook his head helplessly.

A Human Night Watcher behind him couldn't help but ask: "Does he have some conflict with Lord Maxim?"

The Elf beside him shook his head: "Not really, they actually have quite a good relationship."

"Uh, is that so."

The Human Night Watcher was stumped, the Elves' way of expressing friendliness was quite odd.

"Just a difference in ideology." Maxim said with a hint of reminiscence.

He continued leading the group forward.

A Human Night Watcher chatted casually as they walked.

"What's this 'eradicate evil' about? Seems like we haven't done much in these past six months."

For the past six months, they'd mostly been wandering around Elf regions with Maxim, attending banquets and such.

The main thing was enduring the haughty tone of almost every Elf; now they knew why Lord Bobo liked to mock Elves so much.

In the chat channels of this area, daily complaints about Elves almost dominated.

Everyone sent to follow Maxim here, the non-Elf Night Watchers, were almost all kind-natured and gentle-tempered.

If someone like Raelia came here, the scene would be unimaginable; conflicts might occur almost daily.

However, the Elf Night Watchers who came along had also seen facets they had previously ignored.

Apparently, they used to be just like this, the more they thought about it, the more ashamed they became.

"That was 50 years ago, when we took down a beast that harmed people."

"?"

"How many?"

"53 years ago." Maxim, walking ahead, said.

The Elf who answered also nodded.

These Human Night Watchers who rarely interacted with Elves were a bit stunned.

"50 years ago, my father hadn't even been born yet." It was hard to imagine, but the Elf spoke as if it were just a few days ago.

Maxim, walking in front, sighed.

"The Longevity Species have a long lifespan, but also many issues. Especially when compared to humans."

The prolonged life led Elves to develop a carefree character, but to humans, such carefreeness seemed like a kind of elegant etiquette.

And such carefreeness also gave Elves a different sense of time compared to short-lived species, even the laziest humans would find most of the Elves' actions somewhat time-wasting.

For instance, Maxim and his group had actually been away from Tate for many years.

They even joined the Night Watchers to counter the Void and deal with the Evil God, fighting outside.

It was this compact time that slightly altered the young Elf Night Watchers' sense of time.

But upon their return, their familiar friends and kin seemed oblivious to the fact they'd been gone for many years.

Casually chatting, they arrived beneath the White Tower.

Unexpectedly, Vionasha stood at the entrance, personally welcoming them.

Maxim and the others quickly quickened their pace.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Lady Venessa."

To show respect, Maxim bowed, and the Night Watchers behind him did the same.

After all, the Night Watchers and the Holy Light Church had a relatively close relationship to some extent.

Vionasha chuckled: "No need to be so formal, I'm happy to see you Night Watchers return here."
