When the players enter the temple, they see Alice, the Saint of Nature, standing in front of the goddess's idol, praying devoutly.

Players are used to this.

Alice is a resident NPC in the Chosen City.

Although her status as a saint rose with the increase in the population of the Elven Forest, she still liked to ring the temple bells herself every day, and to clean and pray in the morning, day after day.

Shortly after the players enter the temple, Alice finishes her daily prayers.

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

"Chosen One, please come with me."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the annex conference room of the main hall.

The players looked at each other and then followed in anticipation......

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

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

"Master Zero, the Chosen One has arrived."

"Come in."

Divine Favor Zero's somewhat cold voice rang out in the conference room.

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

If Alice, as the Holy Daughter of Life, has a very high status within the Church, then Zero is definitely transcendent.

As the closest family member to the true god, and as the actual strongest combat force in the Elven Forest, she is the de facto leader in some major plots.

Even Alice has long been accustomed to giving Zero a hand to the Divine Favor.

In the eyes of players, Zero is also the purple NPC with the highest gold content, and can be called a walking main story quest tool man.

The term eldest sister is derived from this.

The players followed Alice and quickly entered the conference room.

This isn't the first time many of them have entered this room.

In each of the previous main quests, when making story decisions, NPCs and players were conducted here.

Before the War of Death began, there was even a giant Death Desert sand table made by the players in the conference room.

The players' battle plans are all done here.

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

Zero, the Divine Favorite, sat on the other side of the conference table, smiling at the players entering the conference room.

Next to her, there is another NPC that most players are familiar with, another god of the Elven Forest, El Moonlight.

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

"Everyone, please be seated."

Zero said, pointing to the seats around the conference table.

The players did not hesitate and took their seats.

And in the process, Eve, who was wearing the zero vest of the Divine Favor, looked at everyone quietly, and couldn't help muttering in her heart:

"It's less than expected, and there are only seven groups......"

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

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

But if you think about it, 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 guild, and the remaining one-third chose to establish their own new guilds.

Among the large and small guilds, there is a tendency for the strong to become stronger and the weak to become weaker, and many large guilds are snowballing, 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 is more scattered and weaker.

In this way, in the end, only seven groups of players applied to build a city, which is also normal.

Of the seven player groups, four are the four guilds of Nature's Heart, the First Legion, the Moe Council, and the Knights of the Scourge.

The remaining three are guild alliances.

Eve glanced at the system.

Two of the three guild alliances are 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 that initiated it is called All-Star.

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

And in addition to these two, there is also a guild alliance composed of more than fifty small and medium-sized guilds, the name of the alliance makes the corners of Eve's mouth twitch slightly, called Long live the goddess, and the initiator is a small guild called the Eve Goddess Support Group......

Returning her gaze to the conference table, Eve gestured to Alice, who was seated to her right, and Alice nodded, smiling at the players opposite:

"Good morning, brave Chosen One."

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

"However, the location of the new city is not arbitrary."

"By praying to the goddess for revelation, we have obtained some of the most suitable locations for building cities, which are either rich in resources, or have extremely important strategic positions, or have great room for development......"

"And the new city needs to choose these locations."

Listening to the words of Saint Alice, several players were not surprised.

There is a location limit for building a city, which has long been explained in the changelog.

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

In their hearts, they already have a choice.

Seeing the players nodding their heads, Alice's smile softened even more.

She turned her head to look at Eve, who bowed her head slightly, and reached out and snapped her fingers.

A strange wave of magic was unleashed from her body, and to the surprised gaze of the players, an illusory map centered on the Elven Forest and including the Dark Mountains and Death Desert appeared on the conference table.

On the map, there are more than two dozen green points of light.

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

"This is the most suitable location for the city in the oracle, so please choose the Chosen One."

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

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

After Eve finished speaking, she stopped talking.

The seven players sitting there saw a new system message in front of them:

【Ding——】

[Please decide on your location after 10 minutes]

[After selecting to open, each guild alliance will select the location of the city in order according to the comprehensive strength ranking of the strongest guilds in the alliance]

【Countdown Starts ......】

Similar to the individual leaderboard, the guild leaderboard of "Elven Country" is also divided into a variety of 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 comprehensive strength ranking.

This is a leaderboard that takes into account the number of players, quality, and contribution, and is obtained through weight addition.

The reason why the four guilds are called the four major guilds is because they are not only numerous, but also far behind other guilds on this list.

Among them, the guild with the highest overall ranking is the Heart of Nature, followed by the First Legion, the Moe Meng Committee is ranked third, and the Knights of the Scourges are at the end.

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

However, the Knights of the Scourge, which was established by the players of the third test, are a little 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 the All-Star Alliance, the Azeroth Alliance, and the Long Live the Goddess Alliance according to the ranking of their main guilds.

Although some were surprised by the choice of location for the city, it was fair and they had no complaints.

That is, the guild at the back of the queue will be more worried about the location they fancy being picked away.

More than 20 castle building locations also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and players have already analyzed the pros and cons before coming here.

For example, the northern area of the Elven Forest, where there are many magical beasts, the eastern border where river transportation is developed, and the northwest where magic resources are abundant, are all popular locations.

Eight achievements are the top three guilds rounded.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

And when the countdown ended, the players heard the slightly cold voice of Zero, the Divine Favorite, again:

"It's time, Chosen One, please make your own choice."

"The first, the heart of nature."

After speaking, she looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu's expression was a little tangled.

His gaze looked to the north of the Elven Forest and then to the eastern border, frowning and scratching his head.

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

However, after some hesitation, he finally chose a green spot on the eastern border adjacent to the Vemur River.

It was a river bay with flat terrain and a large river beach, which was perfect for a port city.

After his selection, the players noticed that the light turned from green to red, and several other green spots of light in and around the eastern border went out.

This means that there will be no second city in this area.

After Li Mu finished choosing, it was the turn of the guild leader of the First Legion to fry tomatoes with tomatoes.

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

The First Legion is a field guild, and many members are keen on adventure and fighting, and the northern area of the Elven Forest is a place they often hang out, so it is natural to choose to build a city here.

Next, it's the Meng Meng Committee.

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

However, just when the other players thought that the guildmaster of the Moe Council would choose the northwest of the Elven Forest among the three most popular locations, a green dot in the Dark Mountains turned red.

At the same time, two other green dots in the vicinity were extinguished.

Seeing this scene, players were a little surprised.

Dark Mountains......

It's more troublesome to build a city there, right?

Besides, there are a lot of resources over there, right?

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

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

After all, the name of the national construction brigade of "Elf Country" is not boasted.

After the Moe Meng Council is the Knights of the Scourge, and this time, as no one else expected, Guild Master Shapeshifter has just happily chosen the last of the three popular locations - the Northwest District of the Elven Forest.

The remaining three guild alliances can only be picked in other regions.

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

It hasn't been explored yet, but according to some bigwigs, it's likely to be close to Milovia, one of the seven largest cities in the Elven Kingdom (see Chapter 266 for details).

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

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

As for the Viva Goddess Alliance, it chose a place that was relatively close to the core area, about two hundred kilometers north of the World Tree, which happened to be distributed in a triangle with the location of the First Legion and the Knights of the Scourge.

At this point, the location of the seven cities was completely determined.

Looking at the results of this choice, Eve is quite satisfied.

She gestured to El the Divine Favorite, and El took out seven leaves that glowed with golden light and placed 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, which has been blessed by the goddess and represents the identity of the city lord."

"Those who hold this leaf will have the qualifications to open up a new city, and will also be able to communicate directly with the goddess through it, and receive help from the goddess in the process of building the city."

Eve said.

Communicate with the Goddess and get help from the Goddess?

Players were dazzled.

They took the leaf expectantly.

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

It's just that it's golden.

When held in the hand, it does not look like a leaf, but has a heaviness like jade.

The players' hearts moved, and they subconsciously turned on the [Identification].

【Castle Lord's Order (Legendary Artifact: Golden Legend)】

[This is a true artifact made from the leaves of the World Tree, and it has received the blessing of the goddess Eve Yuktrasil, and has strange abilities......]

[If you have it, you will have wealth and power!] 】

I'll go, pass ...... Legendary artifact?

The players' eyes widened and their mouths subconsciously opened wide.

This is a bit of a big deal.

Then, they heard a soft sound of the system.

In their game system, the City Construction and City Lord systems are completely unlocked.

After that, they can summon other players to participate in the construction of the city by issuing quests, and appoint an officially approved city manager once the city is built!

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

Eve smiled slightly.
