Game of the World Tree

When the players entered the temple, they saw the natural virgin Alice standing in front of the goddess statue, praying devoutly.

Players are already used to this.

Alice is the resident NPC of the Chosen City.

Although as a saint, her status has also risen with the increase in the population of the Elf Forest, but she still likes to ring the bell of the temple herself every day, and do morning cleaning and prayer day after day.

And soon after the players entered the temple, Alice also finished her daily prayer.

She turned around, looked at the people who entered the temple, and then smiled softly:

"The Chosen Ones, please come with me."

After speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the attached conference room of the main hall.

The players looked at each other, then followed up with anticipation...

The meeting room is not far away, just around the hall of the main hall.

Alice came to the door of the conference room, knocked lightly, and then said:

"Master Zero, the Chosen Ones have come."

"come in."

The somewhat cold voice of God Blessed Zero resounded in the conference room.

Hearing this voice, including Li Mu, all the players raised their spirits and looked forward to it.

If Alice, the saint of life, has a high status within the church, then the favored zero is absolutely transcendent.

As the closest relative to the True God, as the actual strongest combat power in the Forest of Spirits, she is the de facto leader in some major plots.

Even Alice has long been accustomed to attacking the God-Blessed One.

In the eyes of players, God Blessed Zero is also the purple NPC with the highest gold content, and can be called a walking tool for the main storyline.

The first word of the eldest sister is out of this.

The players followed Alice and quickly entered the conference room.

It is not the first time many of them have entered this conference room.

In each previous main quest, when making plot decisions, NPCs and players did it here.

Before the death war started, there was even a huge death desert sand table made by the players in the conference room.

The players' battle plans are all completed here.

Of course, now that the war is over, the orcs either surrendered or fled, and the sand table has long since been removed, but has returned to the appearance of a conference table.

And the God-Blessed Zero, sitting on the other side of the conference table, looked at the players who entered the conference room with a smile.

Beside her, there is another NPC that most of the players are familiar with, El Moonlight, another God-Blessed One in the Forest of Spirits.

This young elf, who looked like a little adult, was sitting upright at the conference table with a solemn expression.

"Everyone, please sit down."

God-Blessed Zero pointed to the seats around the conference table and said.

The players did not hesitate and took their seats.

During this process, Eve, who was wearing a vest of God's Blessed One, looked at everyone calmly, and couldn't help but muttered in her heart:

"Less than expected, there are only seven groups..."

Although she knew the final result the moment the players paid their contributions, Eve was a little surprised to see only seven players entering the conference room.

Seven players, representing seven guilds or guild alliances, these are seven cities.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be understandable.

Of the 200,000 new beta players who poured in in large numbers, only about two-thirds of them were absorbed by the husband's guild, and the remaining one-third chose to establish their own new guild.

Among the large and small guilds, there is a trend that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Many big guilds are developing like a snowball, which makes a considerable number of players concentrate on the top guilds with the four major guilds as the core. .

Correspondingly, the power of small and medium-sized guilds became more scattered and weaker.

That being said, it was normal that only seven player groups applied to build a city in the end.

Among the seven player groups, the four major guilds, the Heart of Nature, the First Army, the Mengmeng Committee, and the Calamity Knights (Autobots) accounted for four.

The remaining three are guild alliances.

Eve glanced at the system.

Among the three guild alliances, two were organized by first-class guilds second only to the four major guilds.

Among them, one is called the All-Star Alliance, and the name of the guild initiated is called All-Star.

The other is called the Azeroth Guild Alliance, initiated by the Silver Hand.

In addition to these two, there is also a guild alliance formed by more than 50 small and medium-sized guilds. The name of the alliance makes Eve's mouth twitch slightly. It is called Long Live the Goddess. The initiator is a support group named Eve Goddess. 's little guild...

Looking back at the conference table, Eve gestured to Alice who was sitting to her right, while Alice nodded and looked at the players on the opposite side with a smile:

"Good morning, brave Chosen Ones."

"Since everyone is sitting here, it means that you are ready to lead your companions to open up a new city."

"However, the location of new cities is not decided at random."

"By praying to the goddess for revelation, we have obtained some of the most suitable locations for fortification. These places are either rich in resources, or have extremely important strategic positions, or have great development space..."

"And new cities need to choose these locations."

After listening to Saint Alice's words, several players were not surprised.

Building a city is limited by location, which has already been explained in the changelog.

In the previous supplementary log, the official website has already announced the more than 20 city building locations on the webpage, and players have long known about it.

In their hearts, they already have a choice.

Seeing the players nod their heads, Alice's smile softened.

She turned her head and glanced at Eve, who nodded slightly and snapped her fingers lightly.

A strange magic wave was released from her body, and in the surprised eyes of the players, an illusory map centered on the forest of elves, including the dark mountains and the desert of death, was transformed into an illusory map on the conference table.

On the map, there are more than twenty green light spots flashing.

Players have recognized it, and that is the location of the city announced on the official website.

"This is a suitable location for building a city in the oracle. Please choose the chosen one."

"Whenever a fortification point is selected, one will be identified on the map, and the light spot near the fortification point will disappear."

"Everyone, you can think about it, and tell me your choice in ten minutes."

After Eve finished speaking, she stopped talking.

As for the seven players sitting, a new system message appeared in front of them:

【Ding】

【Please decide your fortification location after ten minutes】

[After choosing to open, each guild alliance will choose the fortification location according to the comprehensive strength ranking of the strongest guild in the alliance]

【Countdown begins... 】

Similar to the personal rankings, the guild rankings in "Elf Kingdom" are also divided into various categories, including guild reputation ranking, guild contribution ranking, guild player number ranking, guild combat power ranking, guild comprehensive strength ranking...

However, the most valuable thing is the overall strength ranking.

This is a leaderboard that comprehensively considers the number, quality, and contribution of players, and is obtained by adding weights.

The reason why the four major guilds are called the four major guilds is because they are not only large in number, but also far behind other guilds in this ranking list.

Among them, the guild with the highest overall ranking is the Heart of Nature, followed by the first legion, the Mengmeng Committee ranked third, and the Calamity Knights ranked last.

The gap between the top three guilds is very small, and they often overtake each other.

On the contrary, the Knights of Calamity established by the three-test players are somewhat different from them.

However, even if there is a gap, it is still stronger than the guilds in the other three guild alliances.

In addition to the four major guilds, the remaining three guild alliances are ranked according to their main guilds, namely the All-Star Alliance, the Azeroth Alliance and the Long Live the Goddess Alliance.

Although they were a little surprised by the selection mode of the fortification location, this mode is indeed fair, and they have no complaints.

That is to say, the guilds in the back will be more worried that the places they like will be picked away.

More than 20 fortification sites also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and before coming here, players have already analyzed the advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the northern area of ​​the Elf Forest where there are many monsters, the eastern border with developed rivers, and the northwest where magic resources are rich are all popular locations.

The eighth achievement is that the top three guilds are fully integrated.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

And when the countdown ended, the players heard the slightly cold voice of God Blessed One again:

"The time is up, all the Chosen Ones, please make your own choice."

"The first one, the heart of nature."

After speaking, she looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu's expression was a little confused.

He glanced at the north of the Elf Forest, then at the eastern border, frowning and scratching his head.

Not knowing which one to choose is also a happy trouble.

However, after some hesitation, he finally settled on a green spot on the eastern border adjacent to the Vermur.

It was a river bend with flat terrain and a large river beach, which was very suitable for building a port city.

After his selection, players noticed that the light blob changed from green to red, and several other green light spots on and around the eastern border went out.

This means that this area will not be able to build a second city.

After Li Mu finished his selection, it was the guild leader of the First Army Corps to fry tomatoes with tomatoes.

As expected, he chose a green spot in the northernmost part of the Forest of Spirits.

The First Legion was originally a field guild, and many members were keen on taking risks and fighting. The northern area of ​​the Elf Forest was a place where they often haunted, and it was a matter of course to choose to build a city here.

Next, is the Mengmeng Committee.

When it was his turn, Xiao Xianmiao did not hesitate, but pointed at the map very neatly.

However, just when other players thought that the guild leader of the Mengmeng Committee would choose the northwest area of ​​the Elf Forest among the three most popular locations, a green spot in the dark mountain range turned red.

At the same time, the other two nearby green dots also went out.

Seeing this scene, the players were a little surprised.

Dark Mountains...

Is it more troublesome to build a city there?

Moreover, the resources there are relatively scarce, right?

That is, the strategic position is more important...

However, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be a feeling that only the Mengmeng Committee dares to do this.

After all, the name of the national-level construction brigade of "Elf Nation" is not bragging.

After the Mengmeng Committee is the Knights of Natural Disasters. This time, as expected by others, the guild leader, Transformers, happily chose the northwest area of ​​the last of the three popular locations, the Forest of Spirits.

The remaining three guild alliances can only be selected in other areas.

In the end, the All-Stars chose the westernmost edge of the Elven Forest.

It has not yet been explored by the players, but according to the research of some big players, it is likely to be close to Milovia, one of the seven large cities in the Elven Kingdom, a beautiful seaside city (see Chapter 266 for details).

Of course, if nothing else, it should be in ruins now.

The Azeroth Alliance chose the south-westerly region of the Elven Forest, which happens to be the center of Kenoran and Rivendell.

As for the Long Live the Goddess Alliance, they chose a place that was relatively close to the core area, about 200 kilometers north of the World Tree, which happened to be distributed in a triangle shape with the location of the First Legion and the Knights of Calamity.

So far, the locations of the seven cities have been completely determined.

Looking at the result of this choice, Eve was quite satisfied.

She gestured to the God-Blessed Al, and Al took out seven leaves with a golden halo and put them into the hands of the seven players.

"This is the leaf of the world tree, and it is also the order of the city lord. It has been blessed by the goddess and represents the identity of the city lord."

"The person who holds this leaf will have the qualification to open up a new city, and can also communicate directly with the goddess through it, and get help from the goddess in the process of building the city."

Eve said.

Communicate with the goddess and get help from the goddess?

The players were stunned.

They took the leaves expectantly.

The leaves are the size of a slap, much smaller than what players see on the World Tree, but they look exactly the same.

Only, it is golden.

Holding it in his hand, it doesn't look like a leaf, but has a kind of heaviness like a jade.

The players moved in their hearts and subconsciously activated [Appraisal].

[City Lord Order (Legendary Artifact·Golden Legend)]

[This is a true artifact made from the leaves of the World Tree. It has received the blessing of the goddess Eve Uktrahir and possesses a strange ability...]

【Own it, you have wealth and power! 】

I'll go, pass... a legendary artifact?

The players widened their eyes and opened their mouths subconsciously.

This is kinda awesome.

Then, they all heard a systemic sound.

In their game system, the city construction and city master systems are completely unlocked.

After that, they can call other players to participate in the city construction by issuing tasks, and appoint an officially recognized city manager after the city is built!

"The Chosen One, I wish you success in building the city."

Eve smiled slightly.
