Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 106 - : High Favorability Equals Willfulness!
Chapter 106: Chapter 106: High Favorability Equals Willfulness!
“Rivendell… pfft… that name really takes me out of the moment, it reminds me of ‘The Lord of the Rings.'”
“Could it be another ruin of an Elf City?”
“Wait… did we trigger some hidden storyline?”
Hearing Carlos’s words, the players were instantly thrown into a state of excitement.
They put down what they were doing and surrounded Carlos immediately:
“Grandfather Carlos, could you tell us more about Rivendell in detail?”
...
“This Rivendell… is it an Elf City?”
“Where is it located? Is it near us or not?”
Seeing the Chosen Ones’ eager expressions, Carlos found it very curious.
However, remembering that they had only just arrived in this world shortly ago and knew little about the history of the Elves, Carlos suddenly understood.
He set down his hammer, a trace of nostalgia appearing on his face,
“Rivendell… in Elvish, it means Deep Chasm, a city built at the border of the Jade Mountain and the Elf Forest, located to the south of the Elf Forest and just north of the Jade Mountain Range, probably one or two hundred kilometers from here…”
Finishing his words, his expression grew slightly gloomy,
“Jade Mountain, which is now the Dark Mountain Range. A thousand years ago, it was also the core area of the Elf Kingdom, but everything was destroyed in the war.”
“Rivendell was a miraculous city, built in a valley with breathtaking landscapes. It had the largest mine of the Elf Kingdom and was also its manufacturing hub. The Elven equipment and various magic devices produced in Rivendell were once all the rage worldwide!”
As he spoke, Carlos’s expression was full of excitement, mixed with a bit of pride and reverie.
But after a moment, he let out a slight sigh,
“Sadly, in the war a thousand years ago, Rivendell and Jade Mountain were destroyed together. Now, all that remains is a bottomless chasm left by the battle of the gods, and Rivendell has turned to ruins…”
“The Grand Canyon opened up a passage between the Underworld and the ground world. It’s said that the current Rivendell has become a haven for underground monsters…”
“It’s the existence of the Grand Canyon that severed the connection between the Jade Mountain Range and the Elf Forest. Now the only entrance and exit on the south side of the Elf Forest are to the southeast, near the Half-Beast Tribe. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be ambushed by the Half-Beasts on our way back from other passages.”
As Carlos spoke, he clenched his fist.
The Old Elves who died in battle were almost all his friends and elders!
Thinking of this, Carlos’s eyes turned red, vision slightly blurry.
He sniffed his crimson nose and forced a smile, saying,
“Heh, getting old makes one sentimental.”
After speaking, he pulled himself together, hope on his face,
“Ah… those are things of the past, better left unsaid.”
“Now that the Mother Goddess has returned, everything about the Elf Clan will get better. I believe… one day, we will also be able to drive away the monsters occupying Rivendell and reestablish the glory of the Elves, just like in Feilengcui!”
As he spoke, he was spirited and turned to look at the Chosen Ones,
“Everything will be better, let’s work hard together!”
But when he turned around, he was stunned.
Because he discovered that the Chosen Ones, who were just helping him with work and listening to his historical account, had suddenly dwindled by more than half!
Originally there were thirty or forty people, and now only seven or eight were left… and a small half were females.
Carlos: …
“Where did everyone go?!”
He looked astonished.
A blonde, blue-eyed female Chosen One, who had been listening intently to his story, wore a strange expression.
She glanced outside, trying to suppress her laughter, and answered,
“I guess… they might have gone to look for Rivendell…”
Carlos: …
…
The history Carlos recounted was like a pebble thrown onto a lake surface.
Just a hundred to two hundred kilometers south of the Elf Forest, north of the Dark Mountain Range, there was still an Elf City!
Its name was Rivendell!
And… it once was the Elf Clan’s greatest manufacturing hub, likely holding many treasures!
Not just that, it was also connected to the Underworld, with many rumored monsters!
Treasures! Monsters!
A new map!
This was undoubtedly a new map!
Could it be… another main storyline?!
For a moment, the Chosen Ones who received the message became excited all at once.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the three major Player Guilds also received the news:
“Holy cow! Brother Mu, Brother Mu! It looks like we triggered a hidden storyline! High chance of a new map!”
“Miao! Miao! Extra, extra! I found clues to a new Elf City ruin! This time our guild should definitely take the lead, right? I hear it once was the Elf manufacturing center, surely there are lots of ancient texts related to construction!”
“Tomato Giant! We’ve got it! We’ve got it! There’s finally a lead on the Elf Ruins we’ve been searching for in the wilderness! I heard there are many monsters there! This time, we can definitely have a great time slaying!”
In an instant, all the Chosen Ones were in a frenzy.
“Rivendell?”
Just after receiving a task from Alice to look after two little Elf girls, Li Mu checked the guild messages, showing an expression of surprise.
He thought for a moment, handed each little Elf girl a berry, and told them to play on their own.
Afterward, he entered the Natural Temple, saluted Alice, who was issuing daily tasks, and respectfully asked,
“Lord Alice, do you know about Rivendell?”
“Rivendell?”
Alice slightly paused in her movement.
Her expression carried a hint of nostalgia,
“It used to be one of our Elf Clan’s most flourishing cities, but it’s now turned to ruins.”
Hearing her words, Li Mu’s spirit was lifted,
“Then, do you know the precise location of Rivendell?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Alice gave him a look and shook her head,
“I’ve never been there.”
Then, she added,
“However, Rivendell was built in a valley. After its destruction, it became connected to the Grand Canyon north of the Dark Mountain Range. If you follow the canyon, you’re sure to find it.”
At this point, she seemed to notice something, and she warned Li Mu,
“I have to caution you, I’ve heard it’s connected to the passage of the Underworld, becoming a monster paradise and very dangerous. You’d better not take any risks.”
“Alright, thank you, Lord Alice!”
Hearing the Holy Daughter’s words, Li Mu showed a look of delight.
He thanked Alice while messaging his guild members in his awareness,
“I confirmed with Alice, there is indeed an Elf City named Rivendell! Apparently, it used to be quite prosperous! Alice also gave me some methods to find it…”
“However, Alice said it’s very dangerous. I suggest our guild’s interested players form several exploration teams and conduct separate explorations! As for the person responsible for the exploration task, let’s let Dema handle it!”
Seeing Li Mu’s message, the players of the Nature’s Heart Guild responded, “Received.”
At this time, Dema suddenly asked in the guild chat,
“Brother Mu, why aren’t you going?”
Li Mu’s lips curled slightly as he typed back,
“I’m on a task from Alice to take care of the kids, and the reward is 1000 contribution points! Haha, I can’t leave.”
Dema: …
Nature’s Heart Guild players: …
“My gosh, 1000 contribution points, as expected of the only purple NPC…”
“So envious!”
“Tsk, does a high affection level allow you to do whatever you want?”
Li Mu replied smugly,
“Sorry, a high affection level indeed allows me to do whatever I want!”
Dema: …
Nature’s Heart Guild players: …
“he~tui!”
“he~tui!”
“…”
Li Mu: …
