Chapter 594: The Oracle and the Messenger
Desert of Death, Sandstorm City.
Thrandil, the primordial elf, sat in the Dwarven Tavern, clinking glasses with a few enthusiastic female players around him while enjoying his afternoon's leisure.
Ever since he was sent to the Death Desert to deal with orcs by Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, he has become more and more nourished.
The main thing is that the Chosen ones are too capable.
If there is any trouble, just tell them to do it.
These warriors who love to fight are generally not very bright.
As long as he makes use of the task system, many things don't need to be done by him himself, and the dirty work can be handed over to the Chosen One.
Obviously, the workload is not small, but for Thranduil, it is easier than in the Elven Forest.
When he was in the Elven Forest, he still needed to be busy in the church often, docking with the elves, and many things had to be done himself.
But here, as long as you rely on the mission system to train the Chosen and command them to deal with the affairs of the orcs.
The Chosen ones work hard, as long as the reward is enough, as long as the favor is high, even if they are asked to go to the manure tank to dig dung, they are willing.
Simply the best coolie!
Sipping the fruit wine invited by the Chosen One, shaking his head and listening to the troubadours in the tavern, and occasionally chatting with the beautiful and enthusiastic female Chosen Ones beside him, and receiving some gifts from them by the way......
And Thranduil himself just needs to express closeness appropriately.
Sometimes even just smiling can elicit a scream......
On this kind of day, it's simply not too comfortable.
Although the environment in Sandstorm City is not very good, and it is not to the liking of the elves at all, Thranduil finds it quite comfortable here.
And even in a harsh environment, under his "sincere" appeal, there are enthusiastic Chosen One who have joined the team to transform the environment of Sandstorm City.
Now, there are Druid Chosen ones who are trying to plant trees and flowers in the city.
Oh, and by the way, there's also the newly created goblins of the Mother Goddess.
Those little ones are good for improving the environment, and Thranduil has been wondering if she can find a way to get out of the Dark Mountains lately.
One thing is that since you are based in Sandstorm City, it is best to dress up here beautifully.
Thranduil thought.
And just as he was leisurely enjoying the afternoon tea time and experiencing the massage techniques of the two female chosen ones, which were said to be ancestral crafts, a divine and majestic voice resounded in his mind:
"Are you comfortable?"
"Comfortable, very comfortable."
Thranduil nodded subconsciously and replied with a smile.
However, he soon realized that the voice was ringing directly in his head.
And the aura of divine majesty also made him sober up in an instant......
Thranduil shuddered and quickly stood up.
"Mother...... Cough...... Her Majesty! ”
He coughed dryly twice, his expression a little embarrassed.
As the first primordial elf, he is also a god, so he can naturally hear the voice of the Mother Goddess himself.
It's just that Her Majesty the Mother Goddess hasn't directly issued an oracle to him for a long time, and even the previous assignment of the Death Desert was conveyed by the Divine Favor Zero, so he really didn't react for a while......
The voice in consciousness was silent for a moment, then sounded again:
"Thranduil, I have something to do for you......"
……
The new game announcement has once again attracted the attention of the majority of players.
And when everyone saw that the drop rewards included silver transfer slots and artifact repair point scrolls, this expectation was pushed to a small climax.
None of them.
Although the number of bosses and drop rewards have been increased after the Demon God Palace 2.0, it is still too compact for hundreds of thousands of players on the whole server.
Especially the artifact repair point scroll that can only be dropped by clearing Lao A.
In the words of some veteran players who have come from the era of online games, the touching drop rate of the artifact repair point scroll is more exaggerated than the Xuanjing that creates special effect weapons in some online games......
And at this time, there is a new source of drops, which will naturally attract the attention of countless people.
Not to mention that the official website also mentions that the new gameplay will have a high contribution reward, which is simply a blessing for non-chiefs.
On the other side of the world of Seggs, in the dwarven kingdom of the Southern Mountains, the state church also received an oracle from its own true god.
The Dwarven Kingdom Realm, a temple built in a dwarven city in the mountains.
The three-meter-tall statue of the dwarf and the god of forging shone brightly, and the vast power rippled through the temple.
And beneath the idol, an old dwarf wearing a high crown and a magnificent robe is prostrate in front of the idol, worshipping feverishly:
"Praise be to you, great god of dwarves, great god of forging, your oracle, is where we are going......"
Gradually, the light on the idol slowly faded......
And the old dwarf slowly got up.
He pondered for a moment, then commanded the dwarven warriors on duty at the entrance of the temple:
"Go and call the copper furnace."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The dwarven soldier said respectfully.
The Old Dwarf is the current Pope appointed by Dolft, the god of dwarves and forges, the supreme leader of the national church of the Dwarven Kingdom.
And as the top clergy of the true God in the secular world, he can also be called crowned.
The dwarven soldiers soon returned.
He brought with him a middle-aged dwarven warrior with a bushy beard, short and muscular, and black curly hair.
The dwarven warrior has a powerful evil aura on his body, and the armor on his body is pitted, and it looks like he has been fighting for a long time.
He came to the Pope and bowed respectfully:
"Your Majesty, do you have something to do with me?"
The Pope glanced at him, and then said with a serious expression:
"Copper furnace, His Majesty the True God has just issued an oracle, and the opportunity to seal the fallen has come!"
"You are the most powerful warrior in the entire dwarven kingdom, and you also have an extremely fast golden griffin, I now order you to rush to Sandstorm City in the Death Desert to seek help from the elves."
"Desert of Death? Sandstorm City? Where to find the elves? Isn't that orc territory? ”
The dwarven warrior was slightly stunned, his expression surprised.
The Pope nodded and said:
"Yes, it used to be, but not anymore. You've been fighting in the Sealed Lands for most of the year, and you don't know what is happening in the world of Seggs, and now the Death Desert has been conquered by the elves who believe in the gods of life and nature. ”
"The god of life and nature? Is that the same Eve who was rumored in the underworld last year? ”
The dwarven warrior was stunned.
"That's right."
The Pope nodded.
"I see, I'm going to go!"
The dwarf god of war replied solemnly.
……
Sunrise and sunset, in the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the game announcement.
The new game update has not yet arrived, but the popularity of battlefield missions on the whole server has not decreased, on the contrary, it has further fermented over time.
The main thing is the role of thinking acceleration.
The more than 300,000 players are not online every day.
With the increase in the number of people, in reality, it will be online every day or two, and there will be many people who will be online in the game for several days.
That is, if the game is not online for a few days, the system will forcibly recycle the body for self-protection.
Otherwise...... As far as the game's realistic life system is concerned, if there are really players who don't go online for ten days and half a month, the game will already starve to death.
In this case, every time the players who discovered the new announcement gradually calmed down, there were new players who happily discovered the changelog.
It's kind of a cycle.
Thereupon...... The popularity of battlefield missions continued in the game for several days.
It's just that "Elven Country" has too much freedom and too much gameplay.
As an unprecedented open online game masterpiece, there is only what you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't do.
Players are never short of goals, and you can do as much as you want.
Therefore, players who first knew that the battlefield mission was coming, and after looking forward to it for a day or two, they also put it behind and moved on to other things.
Of course, just because you do something else doesn't mean you forget about the newer.
If you take a closer look at the players' movements, you'll find that after the new announcement, many people's activities have narrowed down and started to revolve around the Chosen City.
What the players are doing is to take advantage of the convenient transportation conditions of the Chosen City, so that they can participate in the battlefield mission as soon as it is launched.
At the same time, there is also gossip that the real battlefield mission is likely to appear in Sandstorm City in the Desert of Death, which is said to have come from some female Chosen One.
However, not many believed.
And five days after the announcement of the game's update, the emissary of the dwarven kingdom, the golden vulture, known as the "Sky Knight", the dwarven legendary warrior copper furnace, also came to the hinterland of the Death Desert......
Death Desert, about a hundred kilometers south of Sandstorm City.
A caravan full of goods was slowly advancing.
Suddenly, there was a loud howl like a lion's roar and an eagle's cry from the sky, which startled the horses in the caravan into a panic.
"What happened? Are there any elves to attack again? Didn't you tell them you were your own people? ”
One of the carriage carriages in the convoy moved, and two heavily armed elven warriors jumped down and asked vigilantly.
"Back to the elves, it's a griffin!"
The human leader of the caravan replied respectfully.
"Griffons?"
The two elves' eyes lit up, and then they looked up.
"No, it's too high, it shouldn't be able to beat it."
"It's a pity, I knew I brought my giant eagle here, and I heard from Natsume that the griffin is quite suitable as a mount."
The two elves shook their heads.
The two elves are naturally players.
The Dead Desert map is now fully open to players, and occasionally players make cameo appearances as mercenaries to protect caravans traveling across the Dead Desert.
In particular, the Heart of Nature guild, which has dealings with caravans of various forces, often sends guild members to escort caravans into areas within the player's range of activity.
It's a given.
Because the caravans of the other forces do not have the same systematic protection as the elves of the Elven Forest.
If you really want to attack, players can do it.
In addition, this kind of long-distance caravan generally has more oil and water, although those high-level players may not care, but for many new players, looting caravans is definitely a lucrative business.
So, after experiencing the sourness of elves who can also become roadblockers, the caravans learned to behave.
Although it is ridiculous and shocking to think that elves can also shift their factions, after a long time, everyone will get used to it.
Once in an area where elves are active, such as the Death Desert or the Dark Mountains, they will find a way to hire elves as guards.
Only the player can deal with the player.
Raiders will generally give up when they see a player guarding them.
The two players looked curiously at the griffon hovering in the sky, shaking their heads and sighing that they couldn't capture it.
However, at this time, the griffin seemed to have spotted the caravan and began to fly towards the caravan on its own initiative.
"Huh? It's coming at us! ”
The two players moved.
However, as soon as the griffin approaches, the player and the caravan members are surprised to find a small figure sitting behind the griffon.
With a cloud of flying dust, the griffon landed on the ground, and a stout dwarven warrior with a large black beard jumped down.
He looked at the caravan and asked in a loud voice:
"Are you going to the caravan of Sandstorm City? Is Sandstorm City in the direction ahead? ”
Although this dwarven warrior was quite short even among the dwarves, perhaps less than the thigh of an elf, no one dared to underestimate him.
Because all the professionals present felt an amazing momentum from each other's bodies.
That's the momentum that only high-ranking professionals have!
Even the two players looked serious.
Because after the griffin landed, even the dwarf who rode on the griffin was not mentioned, even the griffin who had just been judged by them had a much stronger aura than the two of them......
Both of them are already silver, and they don't feel this way when they face the demon boss of the Demon God Labyrinth, and they have a similar feeling when they fight Lao A......
THEY'RE DEFINITELY AN NPC AT THE BIG BOSS LEVEL.
The human members of the caravan glanced at each other, and the leader nodded:
"Yes, this dwarf, we are indeed heading to Sandstorm City."
The dwarven warrior is the messenger of the dwarven kingdom, a bronze furnace with legendary strength.
He scratched his thick, curly hair and muttered quietly:
"yes, then it looks like I'm not wrong."
With that, he turned around and jumped on top of the griffin to leave.
However, just before he left, a voice of slight excitement and anticipation came from the caravan:
"This dwarf ...... My lord, did you go to Sandstorm City for something? ”
It's those two players.
Looking at the dwarven warriors in a hurry, they felt that they faintly smelled the breath of a hidden plot......
Hearing the voice behind him, the copper furnace subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw the person he was talking to, his eyes lit up slightly:
"Elves?"
