Chapter 149: Nightingale's Favorability (2-in-1, for Alliance Leader Mihara Chisa)
The night was getting darker, but the elven town was still brightly lit by lighting magic and torches.
However, because the elves themselves have strong night vision, the nightingale can see everything clearly even if there is no light......
Under the leadership of Li Mu, she and her younger siblings crossed the teleportation array and came to the square of the elf town.
And as soon as they arrived, they were stunned by the wonderful city in front of them.
At this moment, the elf town has changed a lot compared to before.
With the addition of the second beta player, the scale of the elf town has been further expanded.
Now, this place can no longer be called a small town, but has really become a city!
Not only that, but players have to use their imagination to the fullest, and the architecture in the town is even more colorful.
As if for comparison, they added almost all the Blue Star architectural styles they could think of.
Although the styles are different, there are green spaces and gardens between the buildings, and the green areas weaken the visual impact of different styles of buildings, but give the whole city a unique taste.
Especially each player's own little home in the city!
Building a beautiful home is a hobby for many online gamers.
And this is vividly reflected in "Elf Country"!
Perhaps it was because the first test players set the tone of urban construction too high at the beginning, and the second test players also compared themselves with each other in home construction......
And the addition of the construction team of the Meng Meng Committee has pushed this phenomenon to a climax!
I don't know who started first, but every player is full of enthusiasm for the construction of their homes.
They gave full play to their talents and designed their own homes according to their own preferences, and then built them with the assistance of the construction team of the Meng Meng Committee.
In order to build their homes, life players have even developed new ways to play with various magic skills.
What magic gave birth to building wood, petrification hardened pavement...... There are even people who use the soil method to make cement ......
Of course, the overall style of the city is still dominated by nature, which is the rule set by Eve.
And when a building is built, it must also go through the blessing of the goddess.
To put it bluntly, Eve exerts a little power to revitalize the wood and other things in the building.
No way, Eve is also an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Since he had "revitalized" all the other buildings when he was revived, if the new buildings were not uniform, he would feel awkward when he looked at them......
The city was at his feet, and he could see it when he looked down, and he didn't want the new buildings to look like an urban village......
Shame on you, no...... Disgrace.
And with the construction of players, the elf town is becoming more and more prosperous, and the sense of fantasy is getting stronger and stronger.
If your house sucks, you're even embarrassed to say you're a player in the Elven Realm.
On top of that, there are a few more tall buildings in the town, which are home to several of the biggest player guilds.
Among them, it is the station of the Meng Meng Committee that is the most spectacular.
It was a garden-style palace they had built modeled after the Hanging Gardens of Babylon on the Blue Star!
These projects are huge, and if you put them on the Blue Star, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult, at least...... It takes a lot of time.
But in the magical world of Seggs, anything is possible!
Here, because of the existence of magic, as long as you can imagine the building, you can always make it with a lot of effort!
Not only that, but many players even took videos of themselves and uploaded them to the network of Blue Star.
And this kind of DIY urban home construction close to reality and with magic has naturally caused a sensation on the Bluestar network......
Especially after the players have built their own homes, they hold banquets together in the garden, in the living room, or play games, which makes netizens envious......
That sense of reality, that sense of freedom and happiness, you can feel it through the screen!
Unlike other games, although the virtual games of Blue Star are gradually developed, and virtual simulation games such as "Minecraft" and "SimCity" are also emerging, the construction in "Elf Country" is more free and more realistic.
What's more, it's not a sim game, but it's a fun way to play Sims!
And...... The ratio of playtime to reality is four to one!
And I've heard that even when I sleep, I can still put my consciousness into the game!
The real five senses, realistic food and the beautiful forest scenery around make the life and fantasy atmosphere in the game more and more intense......
It's a paradise of dreams!
Not to mention, Elven Realm is still an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) at its core!
The main course of this game is adventure, and business simulation is only a small part of the game......
Netizens have been completely sour......
It's a pity that "Elf Country" has been in the Blue Star beta for almost two months, and the official time for the open beta has still not been announced.
A group of netizens can only refresh the official website every day, waiting for the news of the public beta when the official website will be released.
By the way, take a look at the videos posted by players on major video sites, and enjoy it......
And then in the barrage and comments, a sour handful.
And the story of a group of Celestial Empire players creating a dream city in a virtual MMORPG game has gradually spread on the Internet......
Immersed in this fantastic city, the Nightingale has been completely shaken:
"This ...... Is this the Chosen City? β
She muttered unconsciously.
She swears that she has lived for more than a hundred years and traveled many places, but she has never seen such a wonderful city!
It's not that the cities of the indigenous races in the world of Seggs aren't spectacular.
The elven Rivendell is spectacular, as are the ruins of the Titans......
But their spectacular ...... It's completely different from the city that players built.
What really brought the nightingale an impact was the unprecedented architectural style of the Chosen City!
This is actually the effect of the collision of different cultures in the two worlds.
When players saw Rivendell, they also felt that the manufacturing capital of this elf was shocking.
It is normal for a nightingale to see a city full of blue star characteristics and feel that it is wonderful and magnificent.
Of course, Eve's power animates the buildings built by the players, giving them a strong natural atmosphere, which is one of the reasons why Nightingale is wonderfully shocked.
After all...... Elves love nature.
Although the style is unprecedented, it caters to the preferences of the elves!
And in addition to the city, the nightingale also saw the legendary World Tree.
It was really a huge tree that stood in the middle of the town, and the nightingale couldn't even see the full canopy!
All she could see was the massive, stout trunks of trees that seemed to reach into the sky......
But to her surprise, the World Tree was withered and withered, without any life.
Doesn't it mean that the World Tree has been revived?
The elven girl's heart was full of doubts.
As if noticing her doubts, Li Mu explained with a smile:
"When you return to the faith in nature, you will be able to see the true appearance of the World Tree."
In order to prevent detection by the enemy, the goddess has imposed a disguise on her own body, and only believers and the chosen one can see Him as he really is.
Players and believers already know about this.
What does it really look like?
The nightingale's heart moved, and there were some guesses.
She lowered her head, no longer looking at the World Tree, but looking around at the city.
With this look, she saw more players.
As before, the nightingale instantly recognized the difference between them and the traditional elves.
Clothing, temperament...... It's all different.
However, compared to the crazy guys I saw for the first time, the elves in the city at this moment are generally dressed a little simpler.
Occasionally, some of them are flashy, but they are just passing by, or they are busy doing their work.
As for what you're doing......
The nightingale looked closelyβ
"Build a house?"
She was slightly stunned.
What she saw was actually the construction brigade of the Meng Meng Committee.
As long as there are players in demand, the construction of the Moe Meng Committee will not stop......
After all...... It's all contributions!
Moreover, the players who joined the construction team were also heavy enthusiasts of simulation management.
As for the other elves in the town, they are players with a lower level, or life players.
And the high-level players and those who are war frenzy have rushed to Rivendell to explore the new world after the teleportation array was built......
And seeing Li Mu and Nightingale and others, the players also greeted one after another:
"Yo! Brother Mu! β
"Good evening, Brother Mu!"
"Eat fruit? Freshly picked in the afternoon! β
"Huh? Is this a new NPC? β
"Hello little sister!"
And Li Mu also responded to them one by one:
"Good evening!"
"Don't eat it, the guild just had a barbecue meeting in the evening, and I'm too late."
"Well, this is the NPC they rescued from the lunch box, and I'm going to take them to meet Alice."
The players didn't dwell too much, and after knowing that a few of them still had a mission, they left to do their own thing.
Looking at their backs, the nightingale nodded:
These elves ...... It seems to be more normal.
As she walked, she looked around curiously, and finally came to a temple under Li Mu's guidance.
Like the other buildings Nightingale has seen, the temple is still not in the traditional Elven style, but it ...... It is faintly similar to the style of the human temple.
But it's more refined and full of nature.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the temple.
The temple was not very large, but it was solemn, and upon entering the temple, the nightingale saw a holy statue of the goddess erected in the center of the temple, and in front of the statue of the goddess was a blonde elf kneeling on the ground and praying silently.
She was dressed in a sacred sacrificial dress, surrounded by a ray of holy light.
Feeling the solemnity of the temple and listening to the whispered prayer, the nightingale's heart also calmed down a lot, and gradually became a little unconsciously restrained.
"Lord Alice, I brought them here."
Li Mu said.
Hearing his words, the prayer stopped abruptly.
"Thank you for your hard work, your task is complete, let's go down first."
The nightingale heard a sweet voice.
Li Mu nodded.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and the whole person saluted the blonde elf and slowly retreated.
It's just that...... The pace seems to be brisker.
In the blink of an eye, the nightingale and others were left in the temple.
Nightingale saw the other stand up and turned around.
It was a female elf who looked slightly larger than her, smiling and her emerald eyes tingle with the glow of faith.
She reached out and pinched the corner of her sacrificial skirt, performed a standard elven etiquette to the nightingale, and introduced herself:
"Hello, Miss Nightingale. I am the Saint of Nature, Alice Wind. β
It turned out to be the ...... of the Tempest tribe
The nightingale was in awe for a moment.
As a well-known priest clan, the Tempest tribe has always been revered by other elven tribes, and its status is second only to the royal family!
She pursed her lips and replied with a not-so-skilled salute:
"You...... Hello! β
Alice smiled slightly and said:
"I know you have a lot of questions on your mind, don't rush...... I have called you here to answer them all for you. β
Hearing the other party's words, Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief.
She hesitated for a moment and asked:
"True God...... Is it really back?"
Alice nodded, and a hint of frenzy appeared in her expression:
"Of course."
After speaking, she raised her hands slightly, and a dazzling light was released from her body......
Silver Priest!
Feeling the holy power, the nightingale's pupils shrank.
At the same time, there was no longer a trace of doubt in her heart.
Priests of the Silver Level......
Only believers in the true God can attain it!
The nightingale breathed a sigh of relief.
And then, there was some joy and excitement in her heart.
The Return of the True God...... I'm afraid the future of elves is about to change!
However, despite his excitement, Nightingale was not as fanatical as the Flame Tribes once were.
It's just a little bit of joy and excitement.
She thought for a moment and asked:
"That'...... These strange clansmen I saw...... ...... the hell they are?"
"They are the Chosen One."
Alice says:
"The Chosen One is a warrior summoned from another world by the Mother Goddess and descended into this world as a primordial elf. They are here to help us revive the elves. β
After saying that, she smiled:
"Judging by your expression, you may have been intimidated by some of their actions. But don't be afraid, although they have some shortcomings, they have no ill will towards us, they are true warriors of the Mother Goddess! β
Originally...... That's it!
After listening to Alice's explanation, the doubts in the nightingale's heart were finally answered.
"By the way, they are also magical creators, and the magnificent city you just saw is from their handiwork."
Alice continued to laugh.
"From scratch, it took them less than four months......"
She held out four fingers.
Four...... Four months?!
Nightingale's eyes widened with disbelief.
"You...... You mean to say that the city was built by them in just four months? It is...... Is it the city outside with a unique style? β
"That's right. So...... Don't underestimate them, although they have shortcomings, they also have advantages, and they have strong creativity and learning ability. β
"I want to ...... This is one of the reasons why the Mother Goddess chose them as the Chosen One. β
Alice sighed.
Listening to her words, the nightingale was a little speechless......
Underestimate them?
Honestly, since she'd seen the players go on a killing spree, she wouldn't have underestimated them again.
It's just that...... When she learned that this Chosen City was also built by players, her heart was still full of shock......
Originally......
It turns out that in addition to fighting, they are also so strong in building ability?
That's amazing......
Seeing the nightingale's emotional look, Alice asked sincerely:
"Miss Nightingale, the Mother Goddess has returned, are you willing to stay in the Elven Forest, regain your faith, and reshape the Elven civilization with us?"
After listening to Alice's words, the nightingale fell silent.
After a moment, she sighed and said:
"Holy Maiden, with all due respect......"
"I am indeed heartened by the return of the true God, but ...... I don't think the future of our elves can be reinvigorated with the return of the true gods. β
The loss of the true God is the cause of our decline, but it is definitely not the only reason...... The stubbornness of our tribe itself and the benevolence without a bottom line are the fundamental ...... of rapid decline in a thousand years."
"If our race itself does not change its original concept, I am afraid that what awaits us will still be in decline. I think...... The same applies to our true gods! β
"In my understanding, it seems that the crown of the true god thousands of years ago also fell because he was too merciful!"
Her voice was serious.
These are the words that the nightingale has long wanted to say in her heart.
Merely...... The elves she knew thought it was outrageous.
Kindness and goodness are the traditions of the elves, the beliefs of the mother goddess and the elves, how can they be discarded?
And after saying that, the nightingale's heart was also a little apprehensive.
She didn't know if she would arouse the anger of the other party by denying her original beliefs in front of the saint and the statue of the true god......
However, to her surprise, Alice only smiled slightly after listening to her words.
"You're right, we really need to make some changes."
She said:
"In fact, the Mother Goddess has the idea of relying on the Chosen One to change our beliefs by summoning into this world the Chosen One with very different personalities and ideas from us."
Unexpectedly...... How could it be?
The nightingale was stunned.
At this moment, she seemed to understand a little bit why the Chosen One's personality was so strange.
Speaking of this, Alice sighed:
"To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself...... It wasn't until the race was on the verge of extinction that we really realized it. β
Listening to her words, the nightingale nodded.
She agrees!
"So...... Miss Nightingale. β
At this time, Alice spoke again:
"Would you like to stay, fight for a new future for the elves and forge a new faith?"
Again, she asked sincerely.
This time, the nightingale was silent.
The hopeful eyes of the Flame Tribes she had just seen flashed through her mind......
And then she thought of the strange elves, of the madness of their battles, of the wonderfully beautiful city outside......
Finally, she thought of the lunch box that she was locked up with......
For some reason, the nightingale was a little moved.
She looked at her emaciated siblings beside her, and then at Alice, who was smiling at her.
Maybe...... It's really time for a change.
And...... It's time to find a comfortable environment for your younger siblings.
After a moment, she sighed:
"In that case...... I do. β
With that, she came to the idol and bowed down respectfully......
β¦β¦
At the same moment as the nightingale knelt down, the lunch team in Fei Lengcui received the news that the mission had been completed at the same time.
γDingββγ
[Hidden Mission: Recruit New Companions to Complete]

β¦β¦
"Mission accomplished?"
Looking at the system prompt message floating by, all the team members' eyes lit up.
"Haha, the exclusive title is here! Nature Preacher! β
"But the reward for contribution is not too much......"
"Be content, we didn't do much this time, it was the Holy Maiden who took the initiative!"
They looked at their status bars and talked about it.
"Huh? Miss Nightingale's favorability has also been unlocked?"
Someone's eyes lit up.
"Really? I'll take a look at ......"
"! How do I get 20 favors? Didn't we save them? That's too low, right? β
"Hahahaha! Who made you close to it when your face was covered with blood? I'll take a look at my ...... I'm going, I'm only 25 o'clock ......."
"Poof, big brother, don't laugh at second brother......"
"Hey...... It's a bit low...... I'm still thinking about brushing up on the skills of favorability.,Listen to the lunch box and talk about the nightingale lady's unlocking skills MAX! β
"Huh? By the way, Captain, how much do you like? β
"It shouldn't be high, after all, the boxed lunch is always taciturn, and it looks a little scary...... And he killed a lot of people. β
"yes...... I remember elf NPCs don't like to kill......"
At this point, the team members turned their heads and looked at the lunch box that was checking the status bar.
"The lunch box is big, how much is your favorability?"
They asked.
The lunch box was silent for a moment, and closed its status bar.
"Captain?"
The other players asked.
The lunch box hesitated for a moment and said:
"100 points."
Remaining Team Members: ......
