However, the nobles rode their horses and chased them to the edge of the forest. They did not find the players in the Victoria Free City or the players in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, but they found some clues.
That was a group of bandits left naked in the wilderness.
The reason why I recognized those people as bandits was because many of them were on the wanted list. They looked like they had just died when they were lying on the ground. They had various wounds, burns or puncture wounds from weapons on their bodies.
etc.
Moreover, there were traces of battles everywhere. The experienced nobles quickly saw that there was more than one magician during the battle, and there might even be a priest present.
There are so many magicians and even priests. What kind of organization or country has such power? It must not be from the empire, because if the magicians of the empire are dispatched, it is impossible for the nobles here not to know about it.
.
And in this direction, the only people who can explain it are those people from the free cities of Victoria.
A team of just dozens of people has such a powerful force. It seems that their task is not simple.
————————————
In fact, the number of players is no longer as many as dozens. After the battle with the bandits, they are not without any damage. There are many bandits, and the weapons are not backward. In addition, they
After observing the players for a long time, they launched a sneak attack. There were less than 20 players left. Fortunately, their mission target, the little elf princess, was unscathed and was protected to the greatest extent during the battle.
After entering the forest, just as Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess said, their safety was guaranteed. There were many goblins waiting for them at the edge of the forest. When Her Royal Highness the Princess appeared, they cheered.
, expressing welcome to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes were also filled with tears. Needless to say, the scene was touching. The players were also deeply moved and immediately said that the reward should be given more.
Of course, there is nothing to talk about rewards. The goblins are very grateful to the players who brought Her Royal Highness back. Even those green-skinned beasts, the goblins are wary of them and are treated as they should.
Not only did he give them delicious food, he even gave them decorations that symbolized friendship, and also gave them to the green-skinned beastman players.
Needless to say, the next step is a happy story. The players are surrounded by goblins and led to the World Tree. Then they celebrate and send good wishes to them on the World Tree. They dance, they sing, and they laugh.
, there was nothing unusual, until a pair of eyes were unusually bright in the darkness at night.
It was a human with a green character on his head. He sat up without making any sound. There were other players around him who were already offline. Some players who were not offline were walking around in the bookstore outside, thinking.
You need to take a look at the surrounding environment and keep taking screenshots. These are the things that will be posted on the forum. After all, in an environment like World Tree, you may only have this opportunity to come here in this life.
The human stood up, his figure hidden in a magical gray mist, making it vaguely visible. As he walked, it was like a breeze blowing by. There was a sober person in front of him.
Little goblin, he didn't even see the human being walking past clearly.
"Lord Sherlock, I really didn't expect that you would lurk among these players for so many days. I really admire you."
Blue's voice appeared in the mind of this human being. To be precise, this human being was Sherlock in disguise.
As usual, most of what Blue said was flattering, and Sherlock didn't take it seriously.
This opportunity to come to the World Tree is very rare. Sherlock cannot completely leave this great opportunity to connect to the World Tree to the players. If he does not arrange it on site, Sherlock will not do it anyway.
Don't worry, after all, it is related to his life safety in the future. If hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players flood in together, Sherlock will not be able to withstand such magic.
No one around him noticed that Sherlock walked in. Although he was a devil, Sherlock, holding a disguised orb, completely deceived all the goblins. Coupled with his magic, he suppressed the devil's aura and let him
Able to walk on the World Tree without any hindrance.
Sherlock's goal is to connect the World Tree to the core of his dungeon, and this World Tree is right in front of Sherlock's eyes.
Looking at the World Tree in front of him, Sherlock moved his fingers and said silently:
"I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, and I feel a bit rusty..."
"Mr. Sherlock, actually I have one more thing I want to ask you."
Blue asked in Sherlock's mind:
"As for that little goblin princess, do you really plan to let her live here? You spent money to buy her."
"Why not? She has helped me connect the World Tree and the core of the dungeon. If you think about it, she is still our hero. Wouldn't it be nice to have her return home."
"Do you really think so? With all due respect, given your character, I think it's not that simple, right? You must have a back-up plan, can't you tell me?"
After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock shook his head and said:
"How could I do such a cruel thing? Although I am a devil, I just like to play with human nature. I have no interest in tearing others apart or forcing others to do things. Sometimes I even see a happy ending.
, I will be very happy instead, you have to believe me, Blue."
"Although my feelings tell me to trust Lord Sherlock, my intuition tells me that Lord Sherlock, you must be lying to me. But since you don't intend to tell me, I won't ask, but you must have your
As planned, I’m just waiting for that little goblin princess to come back to our dungeon. To be honest, I still can’t bear to leave her.”
Why don't you say this, and then let out a devilish laugh, and then there was no sound. Sherlock ignored Blue. He continued to draw the engravings of magic energy on the trunk of the World Tree. After those engravings were painted, it was very long.
It was about to disappear, and Sherlock's magic power was no longer visible, seeping into the tree trunk bit by bit...
————————
The little goblin has never been so happy as she is now. She has returned to her homeland. Although she is a little goblin princess, she does not have many special privileges. She does not necessarily live in the castle. In fact, she is just like the others.
Like those with hematuria, living in a tree house is more suitable for goblins to live in than those castles and gorgeous buildings.
And this is much more comfortable than the tree house in the dungeon of the eternal kingdom. There are no dark caves, no smelly monsters and endless questions, and the occasional appearance of the annoying Sherlock. This is the World Tree.
The tree trunks are full of magic and the vitality of life, and her family and little fairies are shuttled in the trunks, making the princess feel like she has returned to her childhood. The most important thing is that her good friend Yucha is also
Accompanying her, although Yucha showed some resistance when passing through the portal, an explosion still helped her at the most critical moment, and Yucha and she were pushed into the portal.
Her Royal Highness the Little Elf Princess was even a little grateful to the attackers from the Kingdom of God. Without the attacks from the Kingdom of God, things would not have progressed so smoothly.
She originally thought that life could go on as beautiful as this forever, but in the end she had to face a cruel fact.
That is, neither Victoria nor the players in the Eternal Kingdom belong to the World Tree Forest.
This is the territory of goblins. Although there are many beautiful scenery worth watching, as well as the magical world tree and the friendship of goblins, the most important thing for players is to rely on social groups and various services.
In the goblin territory, there are no other players to interact with them. Their adventure mission has been completed, and if they want to receive the rewards of the mission, they must return to the main city to receive them. Although it is very interesting here, they have already
I haven't completed daily tasks for many days, nor have I gone to various dungeons or visited the auction house to trade with other players. You must know that when they browse the world, many players are updating their equipment and completing dungeons.
, buy magic books, learn new magic, and improve your own strength.
In other words, they cannot leave the main city forever, especially in online games.
In the end, it was time for them to say goodbye, and the game's system provided them with the opportunity to return to the main city at the critical moment.
Players in the Free City of Victoria and players in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon have received a special mission:
[Mission name: Return to the main city at the end of the adventure mission]
[Mission goal: Return to your main city, the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Free City of Victoria, to receive your rewards]
[Task description: You have completed the adventure mission assigned to you by the system. Now you can return to your city and receive the rewards you deserve. In order to facilitate players to return to the main city, we have transferred your equipment
All your belongings have been backed up and saved. After you commit suicide and re-apply for a character and return to the main city, you can go to the Quartermaster of your main city to receive your equipment and items without any death penalty.】
[Mission Notes: You only have one chance to commit suicide and return to your main city before tomorrow. Of course, you can also choose to go back on foot, but this is too dangerous. If you die in battle, your weapons, equipment and items will be lost.
It cannot be collected. Also, please note that when you die, please do not be seen by any NPC.】
I believe that the description of the mission is very detailed. Every player did not expect to encounter such a good mission. They had already made plans to go back. The road back is of course full of dangers, especially for eternity.
For players in the Kingdom Dungeon, they do not belong to the world on the ground. Their green-skinned appearance alone is enough to make people from the Kingdom of Humanity hostile to them, just like the soldiers from the Kingdom of God before.
Those NPCs had already established a deep friendship with the players in Victoria and formed a wartime alliance. However, because of the players from the underground world, the soldiers from the Kingdom of God immediately launched an attack on them.
They didn't even hesitate, as if the friendships they had established with the Victoria players were all fake.
Arthur and the others are already ready to commit suicide and return to the main city. Anyway, the equipment and items have been backed up. After returning, they only need to go to the quartermaster to collect them.
This also includes Yucha.
As mentioned before, although Yucha is very reluctant to part with the little elf princess, she has established a deep friendship with this npc in the past few months, and regards this npc as her best friend in the game, but players
After all, she does not belong to this world. In their view, the little goblin princess is just an NPC. Although Yucha does not regard her as an NPC, she and other players such as Arthur, Sylvanas, etc.
Wait, compared to them, Yucha would still choose to be with friends in real life.
To put it cruelly, for Yucha, these little goblins are just data after all.
But this does not prevent Yucha from saying a final farewell to his good friend, the little fairy princess, before returning to the dungeon.
The farewell scene was very touching and sad.
The little fairy princess burst into tears almost instantly. Although she subconsciously knew that she could not be with Yucha forever, she did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
The scenes of the separation of Yucha and the little fairy princess were also recorded by Umekawa Pants and posted on the forum. Such scenes also triggered heated discussions among the players on the forum. Many
Players were moved by the scene, and the NPCs expressed in the game were too real. Not only the elf princess, but the NPCs in other cities such as Winterfell were also very real. Some players even
For example, he received a task in Winterfell to help an old beastman grandmother. Even now, he often visits that old lady.
Needless to say, I was moved. There were expressions of tears and crying everywhere on the forum.
There are also many players and forum friends who have no way to enter the game. They reported this matter to the representatives of the official website, which is the only customer service and management staff of the forum, hoping that they can modify the plot so that Yucha and the little goblin can play together.
Her Royal Highness the Princess returns to the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom.
But this can only be said. Everyone knows that the plot cannot be changed casually. Her Royal Highness the Little Elf Princess has returned to her hometown of World Tree, so the possibility of her returning to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon is not very high.
You must know that in the previous plot, the little elf princess really hated the monsters in the dungeon of the eternal kingdom.
No matter how much we are reluctant to leave, the moment of separation will eventually come. Yucha and Arthur left the world together, and the tree also left with the friendship of those little goblins. Her Royal Highness the little goblin princess stood on the trunk of the leaf tree.
, she didn’t even go to say goodbye to Yucha for the last time. She looked at the direction Yucha was leaving, and mentally recalled the days and nights with Yucha in her darkest days.
A drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of his eyes, he turned his head and returned to his tree house.
The guard stood next to the little goblin Princess. Looking at the figure of the Princess, he sighed. Along the way, he already knew that the Princess had a deep relationship with this thin goblin named Yucha.
friendship, but he thought that this friendship was just a friendship of helping each other in trouble, but he did not expect that this friendship was so sincere and heavy, and he also had a new understanding of the monsters in the underground world. They may not only be
There are not only bloodthirsty monsters, but also some people with high moral character, and among those humans there are also people with extremely low moral character, such as the soldiers of the Kingdom of God who attacked them before.
But all this requires time to heal the guard, and there is no other better way. He even has no words to comfort Her Highness the Princess. He can only accompany Her Highness the Princess and soothe her hurt heart during this time. He believes that with
As time goes by, everything will get better.
He hesitated, and repeatedly did not follow Her Highness the Princess back to the tree house. This was originally his duty to protect Her Highness the Princess, but now he felt that he should give Her Highness the Princess private space to calm down.
Calmly spread your thoughts and stop thinking about these sad past events.
He sighed and turned around to leave, but as he left, there was a wave of magic power coming from the treehouse behind him.
Her Royal Highness the Goblin Princess was sitting in her tree house, with a teleportation scroll placed in front of her. The teleportation scroll had devil's words written on it. It was a picture that one of the players left behind before the players left.
The teleportation scroll that came down to give to Her Royal Highness the Princess. This teleportation scroll was transmitted directly to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. The reason why the player left this teleportation scroll to Her Royal Highness was because the player also hoped that Her Royal Highness would be able to do so if she had the chance.
, you can go to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon to visit them. After all, after getting along with her so much, the players are still reluctant to part with her.
Although Her Royal Highness was disgusted with the dungeon player giving the scroll to her, she still accepted it out of friendship and goodwill. He originally thought that he would never take out this scroll in his life, let alone open it.
Returning to the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, but when she knew that Yucha was going back to the dungeon with Arthur and the others, the little fairy couldn't help but take out this scroll.
Her Royal Highness the Princess placed the scroll in front of her. She recalled in her mind the first time she came to the dungeon a few months ago, when the demon named Sherlock asked the green goblins to build a bird's nest for herself.
The scene of the same bed, the scene of her shrinking and spitting at those terrifying monsters, and the scene of the goblin star named Yucha gnawing and working in the fields. Everything seems like yesterday.
It was just like what happened just now, and these memories were painful for Her Royal Highness in the past, things she didn't want to recall, but now they seem to be filled with honey-like sweetness, including the big devil named Sherlock.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the big demon named Sherlock seems to have done nothing except threatening her with words, imposing a magic ban on her, threatening her with rain tea, and being indifferent to him... Wait, so
When I think about it, the big devil named Sherlock is really a very evil guy.
But except for the demon named Sherlock, other people in the dungeon are actually very friendly to him. Even the green-skinned monsters have not done anything excessive to him.
He would even call himself teacher, and when he was teaching them potions knowledge, they would all look at him with curious eyes. No matter how difficult the potions knowledge was, they would try hard to keep it in mind, and they would not forget it.
After practicing day and night, who knows why they are interested in potions? They are obviously a group of demons full of killing.
As the memories flashed through Her Royal Highness's mind, she suddenly discovered that the treatment she received in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon was not that bad. Even the occasional benefits given to her by the man named Sherlock would be firmly remembered.
In her heart, as well as the friendship with Yucha, she could not forget it. The memory there was even stronger and clearer than the memory in Yggdrasil.
Her Royal Highness stretched out her hand and grasped the teleportation scroll in front of her. She was resisting in her trembling mind, but her body couldn't help but tear open the scroll. With the fluctuation of magic power, a white teleportation door enveloped her.
Then Her Royal Highness disappeared from the spot, leaving only a slight aura of magic.
————————
Following many previous events, players' lives have finally returned to normal, and so has Turtle Plumeria.
As one of the former top commanders of the Ancient God Legion, Turtle Plumeria was once a proud demon, but after being adopted as a pet by Master Sherlock and left in the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, Turtle Plumeria understood that before in the Ancient God Legion
What they have experienced is nothing at all. Compared with this terrifying big devil, the people of the Ancient God Legion and their methods are just like playing house.
Who would have thought that this terrifying demon would send himself into a magic machine and undergo 9 years of compulsory education. During this compulsory education, he would learn the knowledge of the Holy Light every day. That is simply unimaginable.
It's cruel. You must know that the most evil and cruel great demon of the Ancient God Legion cannot force a creature in the underground world to learn the knowledge of the Holy Light. That is simply a blasphemy against the devil's faith.
But this big devil named Sherlock seems to have no bottom line at all, and no belief in devils. In any case, Turtle Plumeria decided to give in. If he doesn't give in, who knows if there will be another nine years of compulsory education waiting for him? He I no longer want to make up my homework day and night, and come to the classroom bleary-eyed on the second morning, and then be dragged to the podium by the teacher every day to be the first to memorize English words, English compositions, ancient poems and other nonsense. Everything, everything that can be carried, will definitely be drawn to him in every draw.
What a god...
But this has all passed. Now, Plumeria no longer serves as a thorn in the side. What? You mean running away? This is impossible. Plumeria has decided to be a loyal lackey.
Lord Sherlock had given him a difficult task before, pretending to escape, and then guiding the players through the Dark Portal. Frangipani did a very good job, and immediately after, Lord Sherlock disappeared. This lasted for several days. Neither of them saw Lord Sherlock in the dungeon.
Frangipani's heart even felt a little loose. Could it be that this was a great opportunity to escape from heaven?
But just after answering the phone, I thought of Lord Sherlock's figure appearing in the dungeon again, as if he had never left.
Ah, praise the great Lord Sherlock...
Plumeria trembled as she thought.
"Hey, do you think this turtle might have Moore's Syndrome?"
While Frangipani was thinking wildly over there, with a look of admiration on her trembling face, and looking at Sherlock who walked into the lord's hall, the black cat Pineapple sitting in the corner whispered to the parrot Phoenix beside him.
"Don't talk nonsense, that's called Stockholm Syndrome." Parrot Phoenix said.
But no matter what the syndrome is, for them, frangipani is part of their daily jokes.
Sherlock didn't care about Plumeria's mood, nor did he pay attention to the parrot Phoenix and the black cat Pineapple who were whispering in the corner. He had many things to do after returning to the dungeon.
For example, post something about the first beta announcement on the forum.
After a series of preparations, and after connecting the World Tree and the core of the dungeon, Sherlock finally released the details. The public beta version is version 1.0. The biggest problem in the previous public beta was the supply of magic power due to the number of worlds. , completely solved. Although it is still unclear how many players can be supported online at the same time, Sherlock no longer needs to use his magic power to support the existence and magic of these players. The magic power of the World Tree is not dark. It is different from the light. It is not as annoying as the power of the Holy Light. The magic power of the World Tree is absorbed from the entire world. The magic power is chaotic and has no attributes. For Sherlock, it is the most suitable to support the player. Necessary for our daily lives and battles.
What he has to do now is prepare to release the new version for public beta. Just as Sherlock is preparing the copywriting for the new version, the excited shouts of players can be heard outside.
"Is that the little fairy princess? Our potions master is back!"
"She's really back. Oh my god, isn't it said on the forum that the princess won't be back?"
"If the analysis on the forum is correct, we will go to the public beta tonight. Do you believe it?"
"Damn it, look at the forum! It's really a public beta!"
