"Tadpole" is not an entity, but a body that changes the underlying characteristics of life.
It's just that this body-taking requires a certain amount of so-called "incubation" time, which is the time to get familiar with the new body.
The anti-transformation ritual performed by Li Wen on the players was obviously effective. As the "tadpoles" in their bodies were completely removed, the sense of chaos that conflicted with the Demonic Heart Ore Armor they wore also disappeared.
This de-transformation ceremony, which only a few players participated in, caused almost no waves.
In today's human city, there is only one thing that is enough to make everyone...whether they are aborigines or players, feel restless.
The first human city! Completed!
As long as the mission points are settled immediately after Li Wen's acceptance is completed, the qualifications of the three alliances that can compete for the position of city lord will be revealed.
At the same time, those humans who have long been scouted by the elves to settle in the human city will soon move into this city to settle down.
From this moment on, the wandering humans scattered across the continent finally had their first city.
With the tireless help of the elves and dwarves, the fire of civilization may be ignited.
At the moment when I heard that the city was built, a floating ship from the main elf city also quietly arrived here.
Aletta smiled and invited Li Wen to board the floating ship. Almost all the elf councilors, including Larika, were on the ship.
The floating ship slowly flew over the city at a low altitude. Li Wen, standing on the edge of the ship's side, looked at the layout of the city below.
A city that is rushing to be built cannot be said to be so exquisite and gorgeous, and it is completely impossible to compare with a city like the main elf city that is exquisite in every detail.
However, the overall structure of the city also presents a symmetrical pattern, with civilian residential blocks at the four corners, commercial areas reserved on the four main roads, and the central square linking to the city's main palace not far away.
The area where the central square is located is where the three player alliances that have qualified to compete for the city master will fight.
As for what method to use...
Is there a more exciting way to compete than Capture the Flag?
beat!
Li Wen also wanted to see the excitement.
The floating ship flew over the waiting players outside the city, and Li Wen used a floating technique to slowly fall from the floating ship in the air.
"Thank you for your selfless contributions in the past few days. The mentors and altars responsible for teaching everyone's professional abilities have been installed in the city. Everyone should learn the abilities you want as soon as possible... Then, let's welcome the one born among you.
The first city lord!"
As Li Wen's voice fell, all players present heard the sound coming from the panel.
[The legendary event——Light and Darkness is completed, and the mission rewards have been settled.]
In addition, a small number of players heard an additional message.
[Congratulations to your Fanxing/Jianfeng/Glory Alliance for obtaining the final qualification to compete for the throne of City Lord. 】
"yeah!"
The cheers shook the sky for a moment!
As the city slowly opened its gates, eager players poured into the city crazily.
Professional mentors of elves and dwarves have long been stationed in various temples. During this period, Li Wen also shared his creations with the aboriginal people on the Lunar Moon Continent.
As those players crazily learned skills, Li Wen's long-stagnant soul energy once again experienced crazy growth.
Give them a day today to learn skills and plan tactics, and tomorrow... will be the time to truly seize the city lord.
Of course, city building itself is not the ultimate goal.
The Great Wall, which was built to divide Yin and Yang, would not become a rootless weed.
Every city built near the border of the Underdark is like a nail, used to maintain and play the role of the Great Wall.
Therefore, whether they are players or indigenous people, their tasks are far from over.
At the same time, Li Wen also needs to be given an explanation for what other elves and dwarves need to do in the past few days.
Find a new suitable place to build a city on the long border line.
During this period, not only was the human city in full swing, but the elves and dwarves' inspection team almost broke their legs.
In order to give the million-level players that Li Wen had promised a place to spend their energy, they almost searched a long area near the border.
To satisfy so many players, at least dozens of cities need to be launched at the same time to meet the demand.
The products, building materials resources, water sources and land of various places...
And the most important foundation is the craftsman.
When it comes to building a city, we can't leave all the most important basic planning and other matters to the Chosen Ones themselves. That would be too uneasy.
"So we have a serious shortage of craftsmen who are capable of planning an entire city."
An elf councilor told Li Wen the current situation.
This is the biggest trouble, and everything else has basically been taken care of by them.
Li Wen nodded, "This is not a problem."
What are you afraid of?
Just leave the ball to the player to choose.
Some players like to play it safe, and some players like to be wild and free.
There are probably a lot of players with their own ambitions and creativity. As long as they are given a basic requirement, they may not be unable to build a qualified city.
Li Wen decided to leave the choice to them.
If you need aboriginal craftsmen to plan and direct, send a few to them. If you don't need them, you can find a way yourself.
Moreover, with so many players pouring in together, Li Wen did not expect them to be able to build the city at the same time.
When there are too many people, it becomes difficult to manage. There are all kinds of people, and any situation can happen.
If it was their choice, then no one is to blame.
"OK."
The elf councilor nodded. Larica in front of the round table looked at Li Wen with gentle eyes, "Master Poppy, are we going to prepare the portals to various places?"
"good."
The amount of work and advance preparation required to guide millions of players to different places at the same time cannot be underestimated.
Without the co-ordination of a large force, Li Wen alone would not be able to do it.
Things here were arranged properly, and Li Wen returned to his residence in the main elf city, his eyes in trance.
Next, we need to bring over all the players in Gaia.
How to notify all players is a problem.
He is not the kind of world-famous aborigine, and it is difficult for him to issue tasks directly to all players.
At most, it can be a role of opening the door.
In other words, it can only play a guiding role but not a leading role.
As for the dissemination channels of information, there is no need to worry. As long as you find Azhi and others to explain it clearly, they have their own forums that can help most players know about this matter.
But why does it feel so informal?
How can there be any game where the plot happens through player forums to propagate it? Damn it!
Besides, if you can't directly issue tasks to all players for interaction, wouldn't you become a tool without any sense of existence?
Li Wen lay on his soft big bed with some distress.
"Are you there? My mother has something to do with you."
A text message made Li Wen slightly startled.
Is it Aletta?
"What's wrong at home?"
"I'll come find you."
Within a moment, Aletta rushed into Li Wen furiously, pulled him up and left.
"Hey, hey, where are you going?"
“You’ll know once you go there.”
…
In a glorious hall full of elf style.
Li Wen looked at his other self in shock...
"statue?"
Li Wen looked puzzled at Larika, the leader of the Elf Council who was waiting for his arrival, and pointed his index finger at himself blankly, "Mine?"
His doubts are justified.
This statue does look a bit like him, but also a bit unlike him.
It means that there is a bit of lifelikeness in the resemblance, and there is a bit of strangeness in the lifelikeness.
"Li Wen No. 2" made purely of pure gold is covered in golden light. The eyes made of unknown gemstones actually emit a divine light that looks like a real person, matching the faint smile raised at the corner of the statue's mouth.
Yes, it can be said that it is perfect in terms of temperament.
At first glance, it seems daunting, but at the same time, it feels a little bit approachable?
The temperament he exudes is the most surprising aspect of Li Wen at first glance, but even the details include his appearance.
Is this the same person as me?
It's cute with a bit of yang energy, but also has a bit of the softness unique to elf art.
However, the integration of these seemingly contradictory characteristics into a statue does not seem to conflict. After all, Li Wen's own appearance is very deceptive.
It can be said that what kind of bias is in my heart, when I look at this "Li Wen No. 2", I will feel what kind of person Li Wen is.
That's outrageous.
"Is this me?"
"That's right."
"Is this me?"
"That's you."
"Is Master Poppy satisfied with this statue?"
"Satisfied...satisfied..."
Li Wen nodded subconsciously and walked around the statue.
"Is there any inscription that Master Poppy would like to leave on the base?"
The sound in Li Wen's ears was vague, and he was now a little confused by the impact of this statue.
He just dejectedly accepted the fact that he was turned into a statue by the elves, and carefully stroked the boots on "his" feet. His fingertips felt the fine gold surface that even had the aftertaste of magic flowing through it. Li Wen couldn't help but feel...
Express emotion.
"How much does it cost?"
"ha?"
Larika's doubts rang in her ears.
"Um?"
Li Wen looked at the other party, not knowing what the other party was wondering about.
"Oh~"
Larika nodded.
That’s right, why do you question yourself? Master Bobby’s words and deeds must have profound meaning. If he says it, then do it.
"We are going to place this statue on the central flower bed of our Elf Garden. I wonder if Master Poppy has any objections?"
The Elf Garden is the central landscape of the entire Elf Main City.
Anastrina once took Li Wen to go shopping. Indeed, many elves like to stroll in it when they have nothing to do.
This question stumped Li Wen.
The soul that always likes to stay in hiding is sending an alarm to him.
But the melancholy feeling in his heart made him look forward to this kind of scene happening.
In the end, the inner show had the upper hand.
"Okay."
Li Wen waved his hand.
I only hope that in the future, if any player increases the favorability of these elves to a sufficient level and comes to this main elf city, they will find that you, Poppy, will always be your uncle.
It can be regarded as a different kind of reputation gain...
When the statue was erected in the central garden, all the elves in the main city who were attracted immediately saw the line of smart writing on the base of the statue that was etched on fine gold by magic potion.
"Sun King Poppy: How much does it cost?"
Li Wen, who was called over in a daze and came back in a daze, just lay down on the bed in a daze when he heard an emotionless voice in his head.
[Due to your personal subjective activities, you are now recognized by all the sun and moon elves in the Lunar Moon Continent, and are regarded as the Sun King of the Elf Tribe. Your reputation is unknown to everyone, and your image is unknown to everyone. From now on.
, you can, as the spokesperson of the Crazy Moon Continent, interact with other worlds within certain permissions. At the same time, you can currently allow no more than 100 residents of the Crazy Moon Continent to travel to other worlds permanently every 7 days.
.]
Li Wen pursed his lips...
Now, can a visa be issued?
The customs officer is actually me?
And... can I guide players to the Lunar Moon Continent in my own name?
Li Wen's eyes brightened slightly.
The authority given to him made Li Wen seem to be able to perceive the scope of things he was allowed to do.
With this thought in his mind, Li Wen returned to Gaia through a portal.
At home on Gaia, Li Wen was imagining the idea of leaving aside the indigenous people and simply making an announcement to all players.
And sure enough, I immediately heard the feedback from a female voice that was so calm that it was almost indifferent in my mind.
[This interaction is allowed within the permissions. Do you want to make an announcement immediately? 】
A strange goddess voice.
Li Wen didn't care too much. After confirming the time of large-scale opening with Croxanne again, Li Wen confirmed the announcement.
In an instant, the content of new announcements flashed across all players' panels continuously like a flash.
[The new map - Crazy Continent is now officially open to all Chosen Sons. After 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, relevant portals will appear near each main city for the Chosen Sons to find on their own. ]
There's no way around it. Actions aimed at players naturally have to hide from the aborigines.
Li Wen didn't want to be the sinner who provoked a war between the two worlds.
After the release was completed, Li Wen packed up with relief and planned to go out.
I haven’t learned all the four-ring spells yet.
However, as soon as he opened the door, an expressionless and resolute face appeared in front of him.
"Um?"
"Um."
The two of them didn't even speak. They just hummed in their throats and made eye contact. Li Wen followed behind the other person.
While walking on the road, Li Wen was surprised to find some noticeboards hung in conspicuous places at the end of many streets.
After a quick glance, Li Wen caught the key word - "recruitment"?
"Why do we need to recruit soldiers?"
Li Wen asked the guard brother who was half a step in front of him.
The eldest guard didn't smile and answered Li Wen's questions calmly.
"Obviously I didn't know."
"Oh~"
Li Wen responded dully and asked Helen later if it was the same.
But what happened to Helen?
As Li Wen walked on the road, he thought about Helen's intentions.
Demonic Heart Mine Armor has been proven to be equally effective on aboriginal people. Is there something wrong with its production process?
Or was it too fast and left her with a warehouse full of inventory to be digested?
Or does it have something to do with the conscription notice I saw right now?
Is there going to be a real war with those illithids? Their power is quite huge?
Li Wen's mind was racing and he was thinking wildly.
After all, I am now an honorary city protector... I should really be concerned about some of the city's major decisions.
