Game of the World Tree

v1 Chapter 568: Licking the dog to lick everything

Latest website: The colorful light ball hangs on the branches of the World Tree, gently swinging.

Each light cluster is supported by a green stalk, with a leaf-like structure like a calyx at the end, which really looks like the fruit of the world tree.

Looking at this mysterious light group, Natsume was curious.

He performed a [Light Body Art] jumped from the red dragon's back and landed directly on the tree trunk.

After getting closer, Natsume also saw more clearly.

This is definitely not the light cocoon that gave birth to the player and the original elves, because it is too small.

These "fruits" are about the size of a basketball, and there are some magical fluctuations faintly under the energetic halo, and at the same time they exude a strange fragrance.

And when Natsume smelled this scent, she immediately felt refreshed.

At the same time, he found that the magic power in his body circulated more smoothly, and even after taking him to meditate for two hours in the morning, the increasingly dull magic circuit in his body became sensitive again.

"What is this? Just the scent that comes out can help me channel the magic in my body!"

Natsume said with some surprise.

The magic system of "Elf Country" is very real. Every player has a magic circuit and a magic pool in his body, and the players' daily meditation is to expand their magic pool and strengthen the magic circuit.

Just as the meditation, the magic power in the player's body will become more and more restless.

Although this kind of restlessness does not cause magic backlash, or interfere with the release of spells, when the magic rests to a limit, it will in turn inhibit the activation of the magic circuit and greatly reduce the exercise effect.

In other words, it reached the limit of the day's meditation exercise.

If you want to wait for the magic to cool down, you need to wait a day.

This is why even though players have a meditation idea, they can only exercise for up to two hours a day.

And if Natsume understands it correctly, the scent from this strange light cluster may help players to extend their exercise time!

What the **** is this?

It is simply an artifact to assist in exercise!

Natsume looked surprised.

Although he is already at full level, daily meditation is still effective.

Even if meditation can't make his power make a qualitative leap, nor can he be promoted to a higher level, but it can strengthen his magic pool a little bit, weakly enhance his magic power, and improve his tolerance to magic backlash.

All of a sudden, Natsume became very curious about the light group.

After thinking for a moment, he touched it tentatively.

Started, it was very warm.

The light group is not illusory, but seems to be a certain entity, but it is completely different from the general touch.

It feels like holding one pole of a magnet and approaching the same pole of another magnet.

With a slippery rejection, but at the same time not particularly strong.

This feeling is good.

Natsume felt that if he exerted a little force, the "light ball" might be deformed by him.

But he did not do so.

He still doesn't know what it is, and he is afraid that his recklessness will lead to bad consequences.

You know, the place where he stands now is the crown of the World Tree, and the World Tree is the body of Goddess Eve in the setting of "Elf Kingdom".

You must be careful about everything related to the goddess.

The goddess is not a background board, but a real NPC.

Although she has become less and less frequent in the plot with the increase in the number of players, old players all know this.

After thinking about it, Natsume simply performed an authentication technique.

And as he imagined, the information returned was a series of question marks.

And what this means, Natsume, who has spent four years in the game, knows nothing better.

Or, the identification target level is higher than oneself.

Or, the identification target is sheltered by some powerful existence.

This is the World Tree, and Natsume did not perceive a very powerful force from the light group, so it must be the latter.

This light group... is sheltered by the goddess!

In just a moment, he extinguished the thought that had just arisen in his mind to try to pick these "fruits".

However, after calming down, Natsume also understood that something like this growing from the World Tree would allow him to put the most powerful six-ring magic he mastered here, and it would be impossible to destroy it.

It is estimated that it is impossible to pick it off.

No leaves in the world can be taken off, and it's not that no one has tried it.

Although the people who experimented finally let the elf NPC lose their favor...

The liking system of "Elf Country" is simply too strict. Funny players will not end well in the end. Just the penalties of the mall exchange price can make people drink a pot.

Natsume naturally did not intend to die.

"If this is really some kind of fruit, then there must be a day of maturity, right? Or...what hidden plot did I encounter?"

He said to himself.

After looking around, Natsume made a note of the location and planned to leave.

The light group couldn't escape, he had planned to check the situation every few days in the future.

However, Natsume has a more honest personality, but the red dragon he raises is different.

The strange fragrance attracted not only Natsume, but also the red dragon Leilia.

I saw the little guy sniffing for a few times, a mouthful of Harazi, and then happily "RUA", and then pounced on Xia's stunned eyes, swallowing the ball of light...

Swallow... swallow...

Natsume was stunned.

The red dragon ate the light ball, but the "stalk" was still attached to the branch, so it shook its head vigorously, seeming to intend to bite down the light ball fruit completely.

Natsume:……

He was horrified.

You know, he just confirmed that 80% of the light group was sheltered by the goddess.

Although his own Red Dragon is not powerful, it would be exciting to make some mistakes.

He also has to apply for the chief priest of the temple.

If this reduces the goodwill of the goddess, it will be GG!

Natsume didn't hesitate to stop his large "red dog":

"Lelia, can't eat, vomit it!"

"Woo~!"

Honglong shook his head.

"Don't spit it out and go back without giving you food! This is the body of the goddess, please pay attention."

Natsume said again.

Hearing the words "no food" and "goddess", the red dragon's movements gave a slight meal.

The little guy hesitated for a while before vomiting the swallowed ball of light reluctantly, and then flew to Natsumi's side with his tail drooping like a bullied puppy, rubbing his contract partner’s thigh while Make a whimpering sound.

Natsume couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't be coquettish, go back and prepare delicious food for you."

He shook his head and smiled.

Only then did the red dragon become happy.

At this time, Natsume looked at the light ball that the little guy had just swallowed.

This is a light cyan light group.

The power of the red dragon is indeed not enough to harm these light groups protected by the power of the goddess, and this light group is also intact.

It just walked in the mouth and belly of the little guy, and its image didn't look very beautiful.

The dripping viscous saliva and gastric juice are not mentioned for the time being, they still exude a strange smell, and there are still a few pieces of undigested food residue.

Natsume:……

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, chanting the [Cleansing Technique] spell, preparing to clean it up.

The world tree is the body of the goddess.

Although no one knows what the goddess’s favorability determination mechanism is, according to the NPC system in "Elf Country" Natsume compares his heart to heart, and feels that if he just left like this, it is a bit unreasonable.

"See the big in the small, never underestimate the details, especially when communicating with NPCs."

This is a sentence mentioned by Li Mu in the NPC favorability promotion tutorial.

Although there is no one else here, the World Tree itself can be considered a goddess NPC.

However, after Natsume used his magical power to cast the [Cleaning Technique], the magic did not take effect.

"Ok?"

He was taken aback for a moment.

At that moment, he realized that the magic power he released seemed to be absorbed by something.

No, it's not something, it's the light ball he intends to clean!

"Can this thing absorb magic power?"

Natsume was a little surprised.

After a while, he noticed that the light ball began to emit a soft halo, which turned out to be actively releasing magic power to purify the filth on his body...

And that magic also made Natsume very familiar.

It belongs to him...

"interesting……"

Natsume stroked his chin.

He thought for a while, and simply reached out to touch the light group, continuously releasing the magic power in his body to help the light group clean up the dirt.

Only the next second, he regretted it.

This light group seems to have an inexplicable desire for magic.

After Natsume began to release his magic power, the light group took the initiative to absorb his power, and even had a vaguely hungry feeling.

That's it.

The problem is that this light ball's appetite is much larger than Natsume's imagination, just like a bottomless pit.

Natsume wanted to send a little magic power, but he was sucked up directly by the opponent. The magic power of his physical strength rushed like a flooded dam, and he almost was not drained...

In a short time, he was drained of all his magic power and collapsed directly on the tree trunk, even his hands and feet were weak.

"Fuck! What is this? It **** too fast, right?!"

Unable to hold back, Natsume exploded.

When he looked at the light group again, he found that the light group had become pure and bright again.

Even Natsume faintly felt as if it was brighter.

A gust of wind blew and the light ball shook slowly, and Natsume seemed to hear a string of silver bell-like laughter.

It was just that the sound seemed to go off with the wind after it rang, making Natsume feel that she had an illusion in 80%.

He shook his head and looked around again.

Ah, very good.

Everything was restored, and Lelia's ruined place was sorted out.

Taking a deep breath, Natsume respectfully performed a priestly ceremony at the center of the World Tree, and drew a symbol of the scepter of life on his chest, and said sincerely:

"Natsume has no intention to offend Lord Goddess, and apologizes to Lord Goddess for Lelia's reckless behavior just now. Natsume will definitely complete the mission of the chief priest's trial and unswervingly spread the faith of Lord Goddess..."

As a member of the heart of nature, Natsume quite recognizes his own guild leader's "dog licking way".

Licking the dog to lick everything.

In "Elf Kingdom", this trick is absolutely unsatisfactory for goddesses and NPCs.

Although he didn't know if the goddess could hear the words he said, it was better to say it than not to say it.

This is attitude.

In "Elf Nation", what NPC values ​​most is the attitude of the players.

If you complete a hundred tasks with a smile on your face, it’s not as good as completing one task in a friendly and respectful manner...

Finally, after bowing to the center of the World Tree, Natsume rode on his little red dragon and left the canopy of the World Tree.

After one person and one dragon left, bursts of dazzling light condensed in the place where Natsume originally stood, transforming into a holy and beautiful image.

White dress, silver hair and purple eyes, it is Eve.

"interesting."

He hooked his mouth and said.

...

When Natsume returned to his Grey Harbor, it was already two hours later.

He fulfilled his promise and took Xiao Honglong to have a meal at the Northeast BBQ before returning.

When he arrived at the new location of the Nature Heart Guild, Natsume planned to help his guild with more construction tasks, but accidentally heard the loud voice of an acquaintance:

"Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Have you watched the forum?! There is a new announcement! It seems that a mysterious new NPC race will be opened, and you can also become players' partners! The official word is not Warcraft, but NPC!"

Open a new NPC race?

Natsume paused for a while, and was slightly taken aback.

"Well, I saw it, it's quite mysterious... Now the official website of "Elf Kingdom" is becoming more and more appetizing, but if you look at the back, it is probably the flower fairy in the Western Fantasy story, right?"

Another familiar voice rang.

Flower Fairy?

Natsume moved in his heart and speeded up and walked over.

"Brother Mu, Dema, morning! What are you discussing?"

It was Demacia and Li Mu who were talking.

After seeing Natsume coming, the two also said hello:

"It's early Natsume!"

Then, Li Mu explained:

"I'm talking about new announcements, there are new announcements on the forum, here, look."

He sent a link to Natsume.

Natsume clicked on the link and saw the announcement interface of the official website.

The page is very simple, giving a **** shadow.

The black shadow is very slender, looking like a girl, but behind it has a pair of big butterfly-like wings.

In the middle of the shadows, there was a question mark.

On the side, is the official small print:

"A new NPC race is coming!"

"They are weird, they are naughty and cute."

"They can be your best assistants, and they can be your best partners!"

"They...who are they?"

"June 10th, stay tuned!"

Natsume:……

The old advertising slogans from which era?

but……

He looked at the black shadow.

Although the official website only gave a shadow, this image should be the flower fairy mentioned by Brother Mu?

"It should be the Flower Fairy? If it is, I must get one! Haha!"

Demacia said expectantly.

"First brush up on your good feelings. This is an NPC race and is evaluated by reputation."

Li Mu glanced at him.

Demacia:...

Someone's even moments were pulled down, he sighed and said:

"Hey... Regret, I shouldn't have touched Alice's hair with my hands..."

"Just touching your hair?"

Natsume smiled.

"Nor should be stalking the saint, shouldn't peep NPCs **** and take a bath, shouldn't pry the door to steal things, nor should they trick them into MLM..."

Demacia looked down in frustration.

Natsume:……

Li Mu:...

Brother, what else you haven't done...

"Don't think about it, then take a good remedial action. You have done a good job recently, and your personal reputation rating has risen to -50. Come on, it will always rise."

Li Mu cheered up.

Demacia:...

Natsume:……

After joking about Demacia, Li Mu looked at Natsume again:

"By the way, Natsume, I will help you contact the NPC assistant you want. It is a half-elf who has risen from the plane of Oros, a female, who is planning to settle in Grayport."

"Her husband is also in our Greyhaven. You still know him. When you become the chief priest, you will still be your colleague, Mister Storm, who has just purified his bloodline into an elf."

"It's him."

Natsume was stunned.

Then, he gave Li Mu a fist:

"Thank you, Brother Mu."

"You're welcome, family."

Li Mu waved his hand.

After speaking, he moved the topic to the new announcement again, looked at the black shadow on the background board of the announcement and sighed:

"Fairy Flower... I don't know where it will appear then, or is it also born from the World Tree?"

Was born on the world tree?

Hearing these words, Natsume was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the colorful ball of light he saw today...

This……

No way?

"Brother Mu, speaking of it... I seem to have seen something interesting on the World Tree today... Isn't it related to this new NPC?"

He swallowed and said.

"Ok?"

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment.

"life?"

Demacia also came interested.

Natsume thought for a while, and told them the light group he saw in the canopy of the World Tree.

When the two heard it, their eyes lit up:

"It seems... it's really possible!"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said:

"Go, take us to see!"

Seeing Li Mu and Demacia look forward to it, Natsume was helpless, so he called the red dragon Leilia again, and rushed to the Chosen City with the two.

However, when Natsume brought the two to the World Tree canopy again, he found that all the thousands of light groups he had seen before had disappeared.

"Huh? Where's the light group? Why is it gone?"

He stayed for a while.

"Are you sure? You didn't remember it wrong, did you?"

Demacia was suspicious.

"Absolutely not wrong! My magic has been sucked up! It's a pity...no screenshots, the scene is pretty beautiful."

Natsume said firmly.

He looked around again, but he still didn't find anything, not even the strange fragrance.

In the end, I had to give up...

"Damn it?"

Natsume looked dazed.

"Perhaps... you hit the BUG, ​​right? Maybe you actually saw it, but it's now blocked by the government."

Li Mu guessed.

"It can only be so... I originally thought that if it was really true, I would stay here forever, waiting for them to come..."

Natsume sighed.

Finding no results, the three can only leave disappointed.

The days are back to normal.

The copy of Broken Kingdom of God is getting more and more lively.

It is said that many players have gotten into fire with adventurers who have entered the kingdom of God, and they are having a great time.

In addition, it is said that some players have picked up artifact fragments from the ruins of the broken kingdom of God, and gained a lot of contribution after offering sacrifices to the goddess.

More fortunately, I found the lost magic scroll in the bones of the epic creatures on the battlefield of Gods, and learned the lost magic...

However, Natsume has never participated.

He could not forget the light ball he saw that day.

"That is definitely not an illusion, nor a BUG, ​​it must be blocked for some reason!"

He thought.

The fermentation of the new announcement is rapid.

Although it is only a black shadow, the iconic shape has already made players guess that the Eight Achievements are Flower Fairies.

The players are still quite curious about the legendary creatures in this Western fantasy story.

Including Natsume.

Although his gender is male, he has always lacked resistance to cute things, and many of his familiars are also cute.

At this moment, when he knew that there was going to be a race that looked like a flower fairy, his heart was scratching like a cat.

Not only him, but many players in the game are like this.

The modeling of "Elf Kingdom" has never disappointed. Being able to be evaluated by the official website as "quirky, naughty and cute" has already lifted everyone's interest severely.

Under such circumstances, people speculate about where the "Flower Fairy" will appear every day.

However, Natsume still thinks that the thousands of light groups he saw that day are most likely...

After that, he would go to the canopy of the World Tree every day to look for light clusters.

But, every time to no avail.

I know, time has come to Blue Star’s June 10th.

Natsume, as always, came to the canopy of the World Tree again.

Only by accident, he saw two familiar figures.

"Brother Mu, Dema, why are you here?"

He asked in surprise.

"Ahem...I think what you said is very convincing, so...I'm here to squat a new NPC."

Li Mu coughed dryly and said.

"Hehehe... Me too."

Demacia also said with a smile.

Natsume:……

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and compared them with his middle finger.

After that, he habitually sat in place.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Soon it will be the update time announced on the official website.

The current updates are always updated ~lightnovelpub.net~, so a few people do not need to go offline.

And when the update time passed, the three of them suddenly saw the canopy of the World Tree begin to bloom with a ray of light.

In Li Mu's surprised eyes, under Demacia's surprised eyes, and in the excited eyes of Natsume, I saw that the branches of various branches suddenly oscillated in space, and light clusters with dazzling light emerged... …

There was a silver bell-like laughter, and the light ball turned into a colorful light, falling off the branches, and quickly dispersing in all directions...

Natsume was taken aback for a moment.

And Li Mu slapped his thigh:

"Don't froze, chase!"

As for Demacia...

He had already flew out with his favorite bird.

Natsume:……
