Game of the World Tree Chapter 48

In the morning.

The golden sun slowly rose from the east and shone brightly. The whole forest glittered under the sunlight.

Alice, the saint of nature, finished her morning prayer, wore her ceremonial dress for sacrificial activities, and came outside of the temple.

Berserker, the oak guard, had already been waiting there for a long time. Today, he looked very happy. His big eyes shining brightly, he stood aside while singing strange songs, songs he learned from the chosen ones.

Alice’s emerald eyes smiled when she saw the oak guard.

“Good morning, Your Highness Berserker.”

She held the corner of her priest dress, slightly saluted Berserker, and drew a symbol of the Mother of Nature on her chest.

“May nature be with you.”

Berserker also saluted the maiden. There was a trace of softness in his low voice,

“Good morning, Your Highness Saint Alice. May nature be with you!”

After the two saluted each other, Alice looked towards the players who gathered on the square in doubt and asked curiously,

“What’s the matter with them today?”

Usually, the chosen ones would ask her for daily tasks at this time. But somehow, very few people came to meet her today.

They gathered on the square, seemingly waiting for something. Everyone was excited.

Berserker glanced at the players on the square with a flicker of delight. He drew a tree symbol on his chest again and said to Alice,

“Your Highness Saint Alice, Florence… is regained. All the goblins are dispelled.”

“What? The holy city is recovered?”

Alice’s emerald eyes instantly widened when she heard Berserker.

She knew of the chosen ones’ task. But in her view, it would take a long time to dispel the goblins in the holy city. She didn’t expect that the chosen ones could finish it in such a short time.

She vaguely remembered that she had followed her mother to dispel the goblins in elf ruins when she was young. Those goblins were extremely sly. After being dispelled, they would soon come back…

“Yes. Furthermore, the chosen ones will establish a new teleportation circle in Florence together. They have invited us to go there with them.”

Berserker looked devout.

The recovery of the holy city was a glorious matter for every believer of nature!

“They have actually invited us…”

Alice’s expression was complicated when she heard Berserker’s words.

Frankly speaking, her general impression of the chosen ones was not good. She even despised some of them.

Recently, the chosen ones seemed to have gradually gotten familiar with the world here and started being polite.

But Alice still disliked some of their bad habits.

For example, they regarded those poor animals in the forest as food.

The forest of elves had abundant resources. The players would have enough to eat by just picking fruits. Why did they have to kill other living beings?

So far, Alice couldn’t understand their actions.

However, since Mother God didn’t say anything about it, Alice gave up her anger.

Because Alice disliked the chosen ones, she never thought of befriending them. The chosen ones had been here for a long time, but Alice didn’t even know one of their names.

Naturally, Alice could not see the players’ names.

The players’ names only appeared in the game system. So only the players could see the green names above each other’s head. The original inhabitants in the world of Sagas couldn’t see them.

Without friendship, Alice thought that she would just contact the chosen ones to finish the tasks given by Mother God.

Because of this, Alice was greatly surprised when she heard that the chosen ones had invited them to participate in establishing the teleportation circle.

Elves were arrogant and proud.

To invite other elves to participate in ceremonies meant kindness and reverence. To accept the invitation meant the recognition of the other party.

Alice’s expression became complicated as she thought of this.

She glanced at those chosen ones who gradually gathered on the square and thought of their hard work these days. Her expression was unreadable.

Finally, the elf maiden sighed and said,

“I… accept the invitation.”

…

Florence, the forest of elves.

After killing goblins for the whole night, the players had already turned all the goblins there into experience points.

When the last goblin that hid in a deserted drainage system was exterminated, the players received a system message [Main task objective: Destroy all the Goblins in Florence, the holy city (Finished)]

Eve kindly rewarded all the players who had participated in the extermination of goblins with 1000 experience points, one Perfect Resurrection, and 500 contribution points.

Now, there was the last task objective–to establish a stable teleportation circle in Florence!

At this moment, the Low Iron players, who had stayed up for a whole night, already had gathered in front of the temple in Florence.

Under the direction of Li Mu, they stood in two lines, waiting for Alice, Berserker, and other players who had received the main task like troops waiting to be reviewed.

When Alice and the oak guard Berserker came to Florence with other players, they saw this scene.

The elf maiden first looked at them in surprise. Then she stretched out her hand to touch the stone tablet with a blurred script. Her expression was sad yet gratified.

“Florence… We are back.”

Seeing Alice and Berserker, Li Mu, who had informed the other players beforehand, hurriedly winked at them.

The players looked at each other and said at the same time,

“Welcome Saint Alice and the oak guard to Florence! We did not disappoint you. We have recovered the holy city from the evil goblins successfully! We are here for the goddess to see our accomplishment!”

All the players spoke at the same time. Obviously, they had rehearsed beforehand.

Alice was stunned. She opened her mouth slightly, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and gazed at these familiar yet strange chosen ones before her in disbelief.

Alice had to admit that she was actually touched at this moment.

They… They…

It turns out that they can be so sincere?

Seeing all of the chosen ones smiling sincerely, Alice firmly believed that they were exhilarated as well.

At this moment, the maiden’s expression gradually turned soft.

“Thank you, brave chosen ones.”

She held the corners of her dress and bowed down to the players, her voice slightly trembling.

Anyway, they were the warriors chosen by the goddess…

Perhaps they had some bad habits. Perhaps they often did things that were hard to understand…

But, they were trustworthy companions!

At this moment, Alice’s impression of the chosen ones changed.

[Alice Gale’s impression of you has increased by 40 points…]

[Berserker’s impression of you has increased by 40 points…]

In an instant, all the players who saluted them received the messages from the system.

All the players’ eyes lit up when they saw the messages from the system. Gradually, they were lost in contemplation.

Suddenly, a surprised and excited voice sounded from the group of people, breaking the originally touching atmosphere,

“Damn! Brother Mu you are really terrific! You have really improved the little sister and the big man’s impression of us!”

Li Mu, “…”

All the players turned to glare at the source of the voice.

Alice and Berserker were also attracted by the voice and immediately saw the shameless face and the awkward smile.

It was Demacia.

The two’s faces gradually became cold.

[Ding–Berserker’s impression of you has decreased by 40 points, reaching “dislike”]

[Ding–Alice Gale’s impression of you has decreased by 40 points, reaching “dislike”]

In an instant, new messages appeared before Demacia’s eyes.

Gazing at the system bar, his smile gradually faded away.
