Chapter 48: The Smile Fades (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Early morning.
The golden sun rises slowly from the east, shining brightly across the forest.
After finishing her morning prayers, Saint Alice changed into the same dress she wore for the ritual, and went to the outside of the temple.
The Oak Guard Basaka had been waiting here for a long time, and he seemed to be in a good mood today, with a pair of big eyes shining brightly, standing by and humming a strange song...... That's what he learned from the Chosen One.
Alice saw the oak guard, and her emerald eyes brought a hint of a smile:
"Good morning, Lord Basaka."
She pinched the corners of the priest's skirt, bowed slightly to Basaka, and then drew a symbol of Mother Nature on her chest:
"May nature be with you."
Basaka also saluted the girl, and his deep voice carried a hint of softness:
"Good morning, Your Highness, may nature be with you!"
After the two saluted each other, Alice looked at the more and more players gathered in the square in confusion, and said curiously:
"What's wrong with them today?"
If it goes according to normal, the Chosen One should start asking her for daily tasks at this time. But today, for some reason, few people come to look for the girl.
They gathered in the square, as if waiting for something, their expressions excited.
Basaka glanced at the players in the square, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, only to see that he drew a tree symbol on his chest again, and said to Alice:
"Your Highness, Fei Leng Emerald ...... Captured, all the goblins have been banished. ”
"What? Al-Quds ...... Recovered? ”
Hearing Basaka's words, Alice's emerald eyes suddenly widened.
She naturally knew the mission of the Chosen One, but in her opinion, it would be a long job to expel the goblins in the Holy City, but she didn't expect the Chosen to do it in such a short time.
She vaguely remembered when she was a child, when she followed her mother to banish the goblins in the Elven Ruins, and those goblins were so cunning that you chased them away one minute and slipped back the next while you were unprepared......
"That's right, not only that, but the Chosen One will officially establish a new teleportation array in the Emerald together, and they've invited us to go with them."
Basaka's expression was full of reverence.
The restoration of the Holy City is a great honor for every believer in nature!
"They would have invited us ......"
Hearing Basaka's words, Alice's expression was a little complicated.
To be honest, her overall impression of the Chosen was not good, and some of them even disgusted her.
Although in recent days, the Chosen ones seem to have gradually become familiar with this side of the world, and have begun to become polite.
But Alice still disagrees with some of their bad habits.
For example, think of the poor animals in the forest as food or something.
The Elven Forest is extremely rich in products, and it is enough to collect berries to fill your stomach, so why kill the living beings?
Alice still can't understand it.
However, since the Mother Goddess did not say anything about it, Alice let go of the resentment in her heart.
Because of her dissatisfaction with the Chosen One, she never had the idea of having a deep friendship with the Chosen One, and the Chosen One had been here for so long that Alice didn't even know what each of them was called.
Yes, Alice can't see the player's name.
The player's name is only displayed in the game system's field of vision, so only the players will see each other's green names above their heads, not the natives of the Seggs world.
Because she has no deep friendship, in Alice's opinion, her connection with the Chosen One is just to complete the mission of the Mother Goddess.
Therefore, Alice was surprised when she learned that the Chosen One had invited them to participate in the establishment of the teleportation array.
The elves are proud and proud.
Inviting other elves to participate in the celebration means showing kindness and respect in elven culture, while accepting the invitation means acknowledging the other person.
Thinking of this, Alice's expression was a little complicated.
She glanced at the Chosen ones who were gradually gathering in the square, and thought about their hard work these days, with an inexplicable expression.
Finally, the elf girl sighed and said:
"I ...... Accept the invitation. ”
……
Forest of Elves, Emerald Jade.
After a night of siege, all the goblins entrenched here have turned into experience points for the players.
After the last goblin hidden in the abandoned sewers was eliminated, players received a system notification of [Main Mission Objective 3: Destroy the Goblins Entrenched in the Holy City of Emerald (completed)].
Eve generously rewarded all players involved in the encirclement with 1,000 XP each, 1 perfect resurrection, and 500 contribution points.
Now, there's only one last mission objective left - to build a stable teleportation circle in the Emerald Jade!
At this moment, the Black Iron level players who had stayed up all night had already gathered in front of the temple of Fei Leng Cui.
Under the command of Li Mu, they were lined up on both sides, waiting for Alice and the others and other players who received the main quest, like two columns of troops being reviewed.
This is what happened when Alice and Oak Guard Basaka came to the Emerald surrounded by other players.
The elven girl first looked at them in surprise, then stretched out her hand and stroked the stone tablet in the ruins, which had been blurred, with a sad and relieved expression:
"Emerald ...... We're back. ”
And seeing Alice and Basaka, Li Mu, who had already greeted the other players, hurriedly glanced at everyone.
The players looked at each other and then said in unison:
"Welcome to Her Highness the Holy Maiden and Your Excellency the Oak Guard! We have lived up to our expectations and have managed to recover the Holy Land from the evil goblins! Here is the review of the goddess! ”
The sound is very neat and loud, and it looks like it has been rehearsed in advance.
Alice, who was taken aback, couldn't help but stretch out her hand, she covered her slightly open mouth, and looked at these familiar and strange Chosen ones in front of her in disbelief.
I have to say that at this moment, Alice was a little moved.
They...... They......
It turns out that they also have such sincere times?
Looking at the heartfelt smiles of the Chosen One, Ellie had no doubt that they were just as happy now.
At this moment, the girl's expression gradually softened.
"Thank you, brave Chosen One."
She pinched the corners of her skirt and bowed deeply to the players, her voice choking slightly.
In any case, they are also the warriors chosen by the goddess......
Maybe they have bad habits, or maybe they often do things that are incomprehensible......
But at the same time, they can be trusted partners!
At this moment, Alice's perception of the Chosen One changed.
【Ding——】
[Alice Tempest's opinion of you has been increased by 40 points......]
[Increases Basaka's opinion of you by 40 points......]
In an instant, all the players who paid tribute received a prompt from the system.
Seeing the system's prompt, all the players' eyes lit up, and their expressions gradually became thoughtful.
However, suddenly, a surprised and excited voice emerged from the crowd, breaking the originally somewhat touching atmosphere:
"! Brother Mu, you are amazing! It really improves the favorability of the young lady and the big guy! ”
Li Mu: ......
All the players turned their heads and glared at the source of the conversation.
And Alice and Basaka were equally attracted by the sound, and at a glance they saw the face that didn't look like a good person, and the smile.
It's Demacia.
The expressions of the two gradually became indifferent.
[Ding-You and Basaka's friendship is reduced by 40 points to "hate"]
[Ding-You and Alice Wind's friendship is reduced by 40 points to "Disgust"]
In an instant, a new message appeared in Demacia's field of vision.
Looking at the system bar, his smile faded.
