Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree
Chapter 1537 - 956: The Path of Transcendence (Part 5): Gift_2
No, no...
What a mess.
Nothing fits Miss Feng’s temperament. If you said her real identity was an alien princess stranded on Blue Star, aiming to protect Blue Star from alien invaders, he would believe it somewhat.
Damn it, what a mess. He must have been watching too many animations lately!
Tony internally ridiculed himself.
So... he still didn’t find out what Feng does in reality.
After chatting with Feng for a while, Tony left the control room.
The Freya was nearly ready, and it was time to set sail for the return journey. During the voyage, he’d be better off staying on his own starship to prevent accidents.
It had happened before, when the starship’s shields weren’t closed or weren’t properly docked with the fortress, leading to the fortress teleporting away, but the ship wasn’t.
Even more absurd was when it teleported halfway, and got sliced in two.
Those were all due to operational mistakes.
Of course, Tony always paid close attention to this, afraid his starship he’d worked hard to buy would be destroyed, so everything always went smoothly.
This time was no exception.
Under the magical glow of Freya, the starship and the fortress entered the teleportation array range together, amidst a strong spatial fluctuation... the teleportation began.
Destination, Segis World.
One teleportation was enough, as the Kaldia World now resided atop the World Tree, allowing it to use the World Tree’s power for direct spatial hopping. No longer needing a dozen or more teleportations like before.
Otherwise, the teleportation fee would be even higher.
After the resplendent light, Tony felt the sudden change in space, a sensation that always felt fascinating no matter how many times he experienced it, like a drop tower ride.
And when the light dissipated, the aerial fortress Freya had already appeared in the Segis World.
To be more precise, it was near the teleportation light gate in the core area of the Elf Forest, in a specialized airport outside the Chosen City for aerial fortresses and starships to dock.
The airport was one of the most famous buildings in the Elf Forest in recent years, reportedly personally created by the now demigod Divine Favored Zero at the behest of Tianchao players. On the completion day, many gods of the Life Pantheon attended, surprising the players.
Because of this, it is speculated that the official "Elf Kingdom" might be planning to follow the magical route in the future, hence more and more players are delving into this aspect.
From the sky, the entire airport looks like a giant pentagram, quite spectacular.
The airport style adopts typical elf-style architecture, white giant stones with ornate sculptures, along with domes and spires, combined with the coming and going starships, exuding a magical punk vibe.
The port was filled with many starships, and there were also a few majestic aerial fortresses.
It’s worth mentioning that it’s uncommon for many fortresses to dock here, as major guilds often establish their own aerial fortress bases or are simply out on missions.
As for the floating cities... forget about them, they’re too big and energy-draining to need a port.
After securing the starship, the boarded players disembarked, joining the flow of people in the airport with their bulky luggage...
They had gained so much, their storage equipment could no longer suffice, leaving them to carry some less important items personally.
After instructing his NPC deputy on ship inspections and garrison duties, Tony also left the starship.
He hadn’t been to Segis World in a long time, this time, he was here to submit a plane exploration mission at Chosen City.
The airport isn’t far from Chosen City, with a direct magic-guided rail car service.
Additionally, he could choose to ride a demon beast or simply drive a magic-guided mechanical car.
Tony opted for the most economical magic-guided rail car.
As for the various plane exploration spoils... those he planned to keep for himself were stored on the starship, those he planned to sell were put into a storage ring for sale.
For a pioneering player like him with a starship, oversized storage equipment is a necessity, capable of holding many things.
As for where to sell them... he had already planned, it would be his own guild.
Although the purchase price wasn’t the highest, it allowed him to accumulate guild contributions, and Mengmeng Committee’s guild contributions bought many things.
After waiting briefly at the station, Tony boarded the magic-guided rail car.
There were quite a few players on the magic-guided rail car, mostly mid to low-level players, and the driver was an elf NPC.
Tony’s presence drew several glances from people on the car, some even tried to get closer.
This was normal, as every Gold player was like a walking fortune to new players, latching onto one would be akin to taking off.
Tony was long used to this.
Riding the rail car, Tony soon entered the Chosen City.
This largest and most prosperous city in the "Elf Kingdom" never ceased to amaze Tony every time he entered.
As a veteran "Elf Kingdom" fan, he was well-versed in the history of Chosen City, even having video documentation from its inception to the present for nearly thirty-eight years at home.
It’s hard to imagine, this city filled with Magic Towers, Mage Towers, towering temples, and tall buildings decorated with elven sculptures and beautiful patterns, with magic-guided mechanical cars and demon beasts running on the streets, dragons and airships in the sky, a magical punk-inspired metropolis of another world, was once just a village of wood built brick by brick by three hundred people...
The magical revolution changed many things, and the spread of arcane knowledge accelerated this process, while the Blue Star technology and various creative ideas brought by players turned everything upside down.
This could be seen in many new things in the "Elf Kingdom", although their core remained magical technology, the design concepts mostly came from Blue Star, with various magic tools having real-world counterparts.
This was Tony’s favorite aspect, as they were all created by the players themselves, "Elf Kingdom" really allowed one to fully wield their imagination.
The city was crowded, with not only elves, but other races could also occasionally be seen, almost all hired as NPCs by players.
Of course, everyone who could enter Chosen City must be a life believer.
As the largest main city of the entire "Elf Kingdom", and the game’s trade center, intelligence center, and map teleportation center, almost every guild had a base in or near Chosen City.
The Mengmeng Committee did too, and it was a landmark building.
Tony first returned to his own guild to sell all his loot to be traded, then headed straight for the temple.
It’s good to have money, the Mengmeng Committee’s base was only a street away from the temple, just a ten-minute walk.
This was the largest temple in Chosen City, as well as the busiest.
Now that Chosen City had more people, the World Tree was gone too, many branch temples were built within the city for players’ convenience in praying, but none were as large as this one.
Following his memory, Tony entered the temple, quickly surrounded by enthusiastic elf priests asking if he needed any help.
Not NPCs, they were players.
Tony was no stranger to this, they were certainly players of the priest profession, probably undergoing a class change or promotion, needing experience.
"I’m here to see Big Sis Ling, to submit a mission."
Tony said.
Unknowingly, he too started calling Divine Favored Zero ’Big Sis’ following the Tianchao players.
With the guidance of the priest players, Tony soon met Ling.
This was also the elf demigod players were most likely to meet, although still elusive.
Faced with this NPC who rarely smiled, Tony always felt immense pressure.
Divine Favored Zero was reading a book at the priest’s table. Tony glanced and was surprised to find it was the same book series Feng was reading. However, Feng’s seemed to be the first volume, whereas this was the second.
"Lord Ling, I’m here to submit the mission."
He said respectfully.
The task submission went smoothly.
Tony was no longer the rookie he once was, quickly obtaining the exploration task’s rewards.
After submitting the mission, he smiled, showing enthusiasm, and took out a set of gifts from his storage ring.
"Lord Ling, I brought back some specialties from the Kaldia Continent for you this mission, all unique delicacies I carefully selected, prepared especially for you. I hope you like them."
Tony said with a smile.
Ling lifted her head and glanced at him.
For some reason, Tony always felt her gaze was a bit odd, making him a little uncomfortable.
