The opening ceremony of the Harvest Festival has ended.

Gathered in Feilengcui, the astonishing number of Elf Chosen Ones also started to leave at an incredible speed.

Watching the elves hastily depart, Tonglu was taken aback and asked the elf girl beside him:

"Lord Xiao Xian, what are they rushing off to do?"

"Oh, they just received the Goddess’s blessing and want to take advantage of the blessing to... ahem, enhance their personal strength,"

Little Xian Miao replied.

"Enhance personal strength?"

Tonglu raised his eyebrows.

He thought of the scenes during the Seal War where some Elf Chosen Ones upgraded their levels after defeating demons...

The Elf Chosen Ones seem particularly fond of honing themselves through combat.

And they often can make breakthroughs in battle.

Especially those Silver-Rank Elf Chosen Ones.

Of course, Tonglu didn’t know this was because the player level cap in the Seal War was restricted to level 40.

Max-level Black Iron Rank players couldn’t level up, only those Silver players not yet at max level could.

"Go seeking enemies to fight?"

Tonglu asked.

"That’s one way. Perhaps for Tonglu, the Goddess’s blessing is just for strengthening the body, but for us, besides accumulating experience and increasing strength, it’s also an opportunity to gain status and wealth."

Little Xian Miao continued.

"Status and wealth? Do elves pursue these too? In my impression, you all seem devoid of wants..."

Tonglu hesitated slightly, somewhat surprised.

Little Xian Miao shrugged:

"In this world, who is truly devoid of desires? Besides, we’re not traditional elves but Chosen Ones serving the Goddess. Apart from appearance, we’re not much different from humans."

Though Little Xian Miao’s tone was earnest, Tonglu slightly frowned upon hearing her words.

Shaking his head, the Legendary Power Dwarf Warrior seemed to disagree with Little Xian Miao’s statement:

"Lord Xiao Xian, I don’t see it that way. Don’t compare yourselves to those cunning and greedy humans; you are fundamentally different."

"I know many elves stem from mixed human purified bloodlines, but you’re not like those selfish and devious humans."

"No race is as united and disciplined as yours. No race faces evil with such fearlessness, nor brims with endless imaginative ideas and creativity as you do..."

Little Xian Miao:...

Seeing Tonglu’s face of admiration, she was momentarily stunned.

Wait...

Since when did our image become so grandiose?

After marveling for a while, Tonglu glanced at the sky, where hot air balloons were floating and showering petals upon the ground, then continued:

"Perhaps the current Elf Clan has changed greatly compared to before, but in my view, it’s all for the better."

"Some say you’ve become bloodthirsty and cruel, but to me, that’s only when facing evil enemies."

"Merciless kindness is not the right approach. I think... that was the main reason for the Elf Clan’s previous decline. Even I know the Elf Hunters excelled at utilizing elf kindness to prey upon targets..."

"At the same time, you haven’t lost your benevolence and friendliness. When dealing with friends, I believe you’ve done even better than the elves I remember. Your sincerity truly moves me."

After pausing, Tonglu continued:

"In my view, you are now a phoenix reborn from the ashes after experiencing hardships."

"I don’t know if years of trials have made you gradually lose your sense of identity, but I’d like to say... Lord Xiao Xian, please have confidence. The Elf Clan is a great race, once leading the entire world as the Silver Race."

"You’ve fallen before, but now, you’ve risen and done even better."

Little Xian Miao:...

No, no, no... That’s only because there’s a limit imposed by the game system.

Moreover, you’re not an adversarial NPC; everyone naturally wants to butter you up.

If you were an adventurer from the Shattered Divine Country, believe it or not, that group would be ecstatic, instantly slapping the God of Darkness’s statue in your face...

The grass on that Beastman’s legendary grave is half a meter high.

The elf girl’s expression was peculiar as she mentally grumbled.

However, she did not voice these thoughts.

There would be no response if spoken aloud anyway.

Previously, certain keywords like World Tree would be automatically blocked.

But ever since the game version updated, this aspect has become more intelligent.

Many players have already tested that when conversing with non-Elf Believer NPCs, whenever it involves the player’s origin or game system, the messages players convey seem to turn into something else...

For instance, "I come from another world," automatically corrects to "I come from another dimension," and "I am actually human," turns into "I used to be a mixed-blood human"...

Regarding this, the "Elf Kingdom" officials have never provided any reason, yet some seasoned game veterans have offered their opinions based on "Elf Kingdom’s" plot advancement method:

This might be because the NPCs in-game aren’t set with fixed programming. Instead, after setting intelligent AI, the plot randomly develops.

In that case, some potential disruptions greatly affecting plot progression naturally need to be eliminated or adjusted.
