Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 870 - 631: Enfeoffment System (5,000 Words)
The two newbies looked utterly confused.
"Don’t be too surprised, it’s just that we came out of the barrier."
"In the setting of ’Elf Kingdom’, the revival of the Eve Goddess is a secret that shouldn’t be known by other forces, especially True Gods, so the Goddess moved her form and Chosen City into a different space."
"We usually call this different space the resurrection point barrier, because every time we die and resurrect, we appear there." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"The barrier can only be entered by us players and elf believers, while other NPCs, even demon beasts, can’t enter freely."
"Because the body of the Goddess is inside, the temperature within the barrier is stable all year round, but it’s different outside. Segis Continent has just entered winter, and it’s pretty cold."
"By the way, the withered World Tree you’re seeing now is actually fake, it’s just a disguise."
The female mage player on the carriage explained.
"So that’s how it is!"
Ye Ye suddenly realized.
He looked at the forest behind him, which clearly looked like winter, clicking his tongue in wonder:
"Interesting..."
At this moment, Facing Gale seemed to remember something and said to the two new players:
"Oh, Yezi and Nai Nai, let me share with you the map of the core area of the Elf Forest and the surroundings of the ruins, just accept it."
Ye Ye:...
"Hey, hey, why do you call her Nai Nai and me Yezi!"
He complained.
"Do you want me to call her by some other name?"
Facing Gale retorted.
Ye Ye:...
Nai Nai:...
"Boring."
The girl rolled her eyes.
Then, she glanced at the small map in the top right corner of her field of vision and asked suspiciously:
"We already seem to have a map?"
The elf warrior smiled:
"That’s a system default map, it only records official coordinates, but we players actually have more detailed maps. Hey, this is also an extra newbie gift for you, this version of the map we’ve recorded is used by all the stars, and it’s very detailed."
"The core area is actually within the barrier. But, we’ll only share this much with you. Custom-made system maps are very expensive in ’Elf Kingdom’, especially the farther places, the further, the more complete, the more expensive!"
Facing Gale explained while sending the sharing request to the two.
Seeing the notification pop up in their view, Ye Ye and Nai Nai exchanged a glance and both chose to accept.
After they agreed, the small map in the upper right corner glowed for a moment, displaying a variety of dense symbols and marks.
Of course, only in the core area of the Elf Forest and around the ruins.
"What are all these extra things?"
Ye Ye asked curiously.
"There are many, like tea houses, inns, relay stations, and some NPC and player-created or individually established villages, even small guild-built bases."
Facing Gale said.
Then he took out a flask, took a sip of ale to soothe his throat, and continued to explain to the two:
"These are all small places, and many are player-built. There are more and more players, but the map of the Elf Forest is quite large, so... besides the seven main cities, many people have started to establish bases in other areas."
"Especially smaller guilds, they don’t have the strength of big guilds and can’t get the qualification to build a city, so they simply find places in the Elf Forest to establish simple settlements."
"In addition, there are some guilds or players who establish certain independent service buildings like relay stations, inns, taverns on both sides of the forest roads. This is partly because players in the wild have needs, and also because the city land prices are too high."
"Of course, none of these are official record buildings, so they don’t show on the system map. Only those villages established by NPCs and that offer goddess statues have icons and receive official protection on the map."
"Luckily ’Elf Kingdom’s system allows us to modify our map settings and we can also share, so players simply added these unrecorded places on the system maps, continually improving and updating them, leading to increasingly rich and detailed privately drawn maps."
"It’s almost becoming an industry in the game."
Facing Gale spoke passionately, clearly enjoying himself.
The two newbies listened intently, filled with amazement.
"This is amazing! The game is incredibly free!"
Nai Nai exclaimed.
"Of course!"
The elf warrior laughed heartily.
He burped after a drink, continuing to proudly explain as the two newbies looked on with shining curiosity:
"However, these areas built by players themselves also have considerable risks..."
"That is, remote places have a probability of being attacked by demon beasts, and because they aren’t under official protection, they often lack adequate self-defense forces, so theft and the like, which never happens in the main cities, are frequent occurrences in these small bases."
"Just a few days ago, there was a rather serious incident where a max-level silver rogue took advantage of a small guild’s main force being away, and secretly wiped out their main base in the wild..."
"Because no one was killed, there wasn’t a red name judgment, but the small guild’s assets were entirely taken."
Facing Gale said with a touch of emotion, holding up one finger:
