Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 104 - The Mother Goddess is Truly Generous
Chapter 104: Chapter 104 The Mother Goddess is Truly Generous
Carlos Flame was over nine hundred years old.
If one did not become a legend, an elf’s lifespan was about twelve hundred years, and adulthood was at two hundred years.
Though the youth of elves lasted long, and they aged very slowly, only gradually showing signs of aging after eight or nine hundred years.
Yet, translated to human terms, Carlos was already equivalent to an elderly person in their fifties or sixties.
Carlos often listened to the thousand-year-old elders in the tribe talk about the prosperity of the Elf Kingdom. Unfortunately, since he could remember, all he had experienced were leaving home, hiding, and wandering.
After the World Tree fell, the Elf Clan had persisted for several hundred years.
...
But as other races pressed in step by step, in the end, they had no choice but to leave one after another.
It had been seven hundred years since the Flame Tribe left the Elf Forest.
To be able to return here, to see the revived World Tree, it all felt like a dream to him.
But in reality, they truly had returned and settled in the Holy City of Feilengcui!
The Elf Forest was just as bountiful as in his memories.
Or should he say, with the revival of the Mother Goddess, it was even more bountiful.
Except for the slightly fewer animals around Feilengcui than Carlos had imagined, the place was so rich in resources they didn’t even need to worry about food.
Because just walking through the forest, you could find countless berries.
And if you knew some Natural Magic, you could even make some plants in the forest ripen.
The magic power in the Elf Forest was quite abundant, and many fruits could easily be ripened, consuming only a tiny bit of guiding magic power.
If there were a berry-producing plant in the yard, the elves didn’t even need to leave home. If they were hungry, they just needed to ripen the plant.
Such a life, Carlos could not have imagined before.
Because he was born after the Mother Goddess had fallen, and the Elf Forest had long lost its former glory.
*At this moment, he understood why those older elves were so nostalgic about the past, why they referred to the Elf Forest as the elves’ earthly Heaven.*
The Elf Forest, after the revival of the Mother Goddess, was indeed like Heaven!
At the same time, it allowed Carlos to vaguely imagine how powerful the Elf Kingdom was a thousand years ago…
And Carlos knew they were able to return because they had regained the protection of the Mother Goddess.
The protection of the True God was the greatest reliance for the intelligent races of the Segis World.
*At that moment, Carlos’s faith in nature deepened.*
He had finally grown from a shallow believer into a truly devout believer.
“If we want to continue living here, if we want the Elf Clan to rise again, we must strengthen our race and the power of the Mother Goddess!”
Carlos decided that he would dedicate the remaining three hundred years of his life to the Mother Goddess and the future of the Elf Clan!
And after thinking it over, he planned to open a small forging shop in Feilengcui.
He had already inherited his father’s forging skills and was a skilled Forging Master, experienced in creating magic tools and equipment, with most of the Flame Tribe’s equipment made by him.
However, the wandering over the past few centuries had caused him to gradually loosen his skills.
But after arriving in the Elf Forest, he intended to pick up these techniques again.
The development of intelligent races was inseparable from tools, and weapons and equipment were even more needed in battle.
Through Carlos’s observation, he found that although most of the numerous Chosen Ones had equipment, and some of it was quite lavish, their maintenance was poor.
Not only that, many people’s weapons and equipment were damaged, and they seemed to have never considered repairing them.
Of course, he didn’t know this was because the players’ battles were too frequent, and equipment damage was common.
And it wasn’t that the players hadn’t considered repairs, but that they simply couldn’t repair things themselves…
The Contribution Store could repair equipment, but the cost seemed too painful, nearly as much as redeeming a new set.
So, many people ultimately chose to offer their broken equipment to the Goddess in secret and use contribution points to exchange for new ones.
As a result, the players Carlos saw were all using equipment that hadn’t been maintained or repaired.
And as Carlos planned to reopen a forging shop, he faced another headache.
Because there were really too few people in the Flame Tribe, and everyone was busy just settling into the Elf Forest.
He found himself unable to find any apprentices to help him in a short amount of time!
That’s when Carlos thought of the Chosen Ones.
But a trace of doubt crept into his heart:
“Lord Alice once mentioned that I could ask those Chosen Ones for help, but… would they be willing to be apprentices?”
To Carlos, the Chosen Ones, summoned personally by the Mother Goddess, held a status akin to Divine Envoys.
But being an apprentice in a forging shop was dirty and tiring work, and he wasn’t seeking profit. As an apprentice, aside from learning some forging skills, there were no benefits.
The Chosen Ones were so capable, they could even build miraculous cities like the Chosen City.
*In this situation, would they… be willing to come?*
*He hesitated all day, unable to make up his mind, until he fell asleep that night…*
At night, Carlos had a dream.
In his dream, he saw the gracious and generous Mother Goddess.
The Mother Goddess praised his faith and granted him the ability to assign tasks to the Chosen Ones.
“Invoke my name in your heart, and you shall access the relevant permissions.”

The Mother Goddess advised in the dream.
When he woke up the next day, Carlos felt dazed.
*He thought he had just been thinking too much during the day, causing him to have such a strange dream.*
He chuckled, getting ready to rise when he suddenly stopped.
“Mother Goddess…”
He pondered for a moment and, with a mindset of trying it out, sincerely called out in his heart:
“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Elf Sovereign—Eve Yggdrasil!”
With a tremor in his heart, Carlos was shocked to find that his vision had changed!
A semi-transparent white box appeared before his eyes, with the words “Task Management Permissions” written in Elven script.
“By the Mother Goddess! This… is not a dream!”
*He gasped, drawing a symbol of Mother Nature on his chest.*
And after some study, he discovered this “Task Management Permissions” was, indeed, the ability to assign tasks!
Moreover, this strange ability could be controlled solely with his mind and could disappear at will, reappearing when called upon.
The permissions included functions he had never heard of, like “Task Setting” and “Reward Setting,” along with a user manual.
After reading the manual, Carlos more or less understood these abilities.
“This truly is an ability to assign tasks to the Chosen Ones! And all the functions are targeted at the Chosen Ones!”
*Carlos was in awe.*
*The power of the True God!*
*This is the power of the True God!*
*The Mother Goddess was truly generous, bestowing the believers with such powerful abilities!*
Upon further understanding the rules, Carlos realized the Mother Goddess’s true intention was to have the Chosen Ones assist them in revitalizing the race and increasing the power of the Mother Goddess.
Of course, believers could also use this to have the Chosen Ones help them with certain tasks.
And those strange rewards called experience points and contribution points were all directed at the Chosen Ones.
The manual’s introduction said those rewards were what the Chosen Ones desperately sought, and believers could use them as an exchange to ask for their help!
Carlos was thrilled.
He suddenly wanted to give it a try.
“These rewards… might be able to help me find two… no… one apprentice!”
His eyes glowed.
