Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 191 - 185: The Mysterious Ling

Chapter 191: Chapter 185: The Mysterious Ling

[Ding——]

[Quest dialogue completed]

[You have gained 3000 experience points and 300 contribution points]

New system notifications flashed in the view of Little Xian Miao and the others once again.

Accompanied by the enchanting sound of the system, they returned to the temple…

The most noticeable change was that the state where they could gain experience points with every breath seemed to disappear.

This left the players with a feeling of loss.

Little Xian Miao couldn’t help but check her personal status bar and was shocked to discover that just from meeting the Goddess for a few minutes, her experience points had soared by over thirty thousand, almost enough to advance to level 20!

And with the additional 3000 points from completing the dialogue, it was just enough!

“Whoa… What was that place we just went to, how did we gain so many experience points all of a sudden?! It was comparable to a major quest line!”

Before Little Xian Miao could marvel, Demacia’s excited voice came through, completely echoing her thoughts and making her nod repeatedly.

“The place you just entered is the Divine Country of the Mother Goddess. Since her true revival, the Divine Country has also regained its vitality.”

As the players were still secretly lamenting not getting more experience in that scene, a calm voice spoke up.

They turned to see that it was Ling, a Divine Favored summoned by the Goddess, who spoke.

“The Divine Country of the Mother Goddess is filled with the aura of divine power. Mortal beings that enter the Divine Country are naturally influenced by this aura, absorbing the energy dispersed within. That’s why your powers have slightly increased.”

Ling explained.

The players listened, a flash of realization appearing in their expressions.

Thinking inwardly, Fried Tomato speculated,

“Doesn’t this mean… that if we stayed in the Divine Country of the Goddess, we could continuously enhance our strength?”

Ling glanced at him and said coolly,

“There’s no such good thing in this world. The power of a True God is immense. Even though the divine aura in the Divine Country is deliberately diluted by the Mother Goddess, you still can’t handle too much of it. A little is fine, but if it’s too much…”

Her expression turned into a half-smile, “You would have to be reborn again on the World Tree, and you would lose the power you absorbed in the Divine Country.”

In other words, they’d die from it.

The players understood.

“However, short-term stays won’t harm you. In fact, they can even slightly enhance your abilities.”

“Divine power is filled with the Power of Laws. While you can’t comprehend it, you can still be influenced by it to some extent. Especially if you absorb a certain amount of divine aura before advancing to the next level, there’s a chance of boosting your personal attributes and even acquiring a new skill across tiers…”

Ling shifted the conversation, continuing,

“Whoa…”

The players widened their eyes, feeling an indescribable joy in their hearts!

Such good fortune exists?!

Indeed! Any mission related to the great Goddess is a rewarding task!

Eve Goddess is the best!

With a thought, Little Xian Miao immediately chose to level up.

A light flashed across her body, and her aura changed as she instantly advanced to level 20 (Black Iron Lower Peak)!

During the advancement, Little Xian Miao felt a slight tremor in her mind, as if some information had flowed in…

She was filled with joy and immediately checked her status, finding that her constitution, agility, and magic power truly had increased slightly!

Moreover, a new skill appeared in her skill bar—the Two-Circle Magic, “Flame Shield”!

“Wow! I actually comprehended a new skill! And it’s Two-Circle Magic! I didn’t even have any Two-Circle Magic before!”

Little Xian Miao couldn’t help but cheer out loud.

Two-Circle Magic?

Hearing this, Fried Tomato and Demacia couldn’t resist giving her a look.

In the Segis World, secular skills are divided into ranks from one to ninety-nine.

The power-based skills have nine tiers, while the casting-based skills have nine circles of magic. The next level is legendary.

Players from level 0 to 10 can only learn apprentice-level skills, while those from level 11 to 20, Black Iron Lower, can learn first-tier skills or One-Circle Magic. Advancing to level 21 Black Iron Middle allows learning of second-tier or Two-Circle skills.

But now Little Xian Miao was merely at level 20 Black Iron Lower and had already mastered a Two-Circle Magic ahead of time!

Not to mention anything else, just by having this Two-Circle Magic, defeating her before reaching Black Iron Middle would be quite a challenge for players of the same level.

Wait a minute… This girl is loaded with gear. Even without cross-tier skills, with all her golden gear, it seems no one can touch her…

Fried Tomato and Demacia suddenly felt a sense of disinterest.

However, the appearance of cross-tier skills still stirred something within the players.

It was said that in the current game version, the max level was 40 (Black Iron Upper Peak).

After a visit to the Goddess’s Divine Country and advancing a level, they’d have a chance to acquire a new skill from a higher tier…

In other words, if they entered the Goddess’s Divine Country while at the Black Iron Upper stage, after coming out and advancing, they could possibly master a skill or magic usually attainable only at the silver level—a fourth-tier skill or Four-Circle Magic!

Wow! That skill would be a massive tier jump, far surpassing the third tier!

Definitely a secret weapon!

Thinking of this, the group grew excited.

The players had witnessed the might of the Oak Guardian Berserker and the Divine Favored Ail, as well as the Black Iron Upper Half-Beast.

They had experienced firsthand that the silver tier was far superior to the Black Iron level.

Seeing their excited faces, the corner of Ling’s mouth curved ever so slightly.

“So… if you want another chance to be summoned by the Mother Goddess, work hard. Opportunities always favor those who are prepared and strive hard! What the Mother Goddess needs most now are diligent and striving individuals!”

She encouraged them.

“There’ll be more chances in the future!”

Hearing the implication in Ling’s words, the players became invigorated.

“After reaching level 31, I must find a way to complete another task to meet the Goddess!”

Fried Tomato clenched his fist.

“I better find chances to cozy up to the Divine Favored!”

Demacia thought to himself.

After their initial excitement, Little Xian Miao and the others brought up the hidden plot of “The Faith of the Dark Dwarves” with Ling…

“Just consider the news from the Blood Covenant as nonexistent. The Dark Dwarves wouldn’t really tell you their true plan.”

After hearing the players, Ling remarked calmly.

“So it was a fake plan?”

Little Xian Miao and her group frowned.

“To reveal the plan so straightforwardly, there’s a high chance it’s fake. Besides, disputes in faith and intrigues accomplish nothing before absolute power.”

Ling chuckled.

“So… what should we do next?”

Little Xian Miao asked again.

Ling looked at her and said,

“Have the other Chosen Ones prepare for battle, but don’t alarm the Dark Dwarves. You can use hunting demon beasts as a cover. I will personally visit the Death God Temple, and you just wait for my news. If I need your support, I’ll contact you…”

After saying this, she nodded at the players and left the temple.

When she stepped outside, she saw the Natural Saintess Alice guarding the temple.

Alice was not surprised by Ling’s appearance.

She had already received a revelation from the Mother Goddess, knowing that a new Divine Favored would descend, and the newcomer might mainly be responsible for tasks related to spreading faith among the Chosen Ones, and even communicate with other True God temples!

It seemed… the Mother Goddess was also considering finding allies among the True Gods.

Which deity would it be?

Alice had some guesses in her heart.

Of course, Alice was also quite curious about this new Divine Favored.

From the looks of the newcomer, they appeared to be a mixed-blood elf but had the traits of the Royal Family, and moreover… the aura felt inexplicably familiar to her.

Still, she didn’t ask much.

To be able to enter the Divine Country of the Mother Goddess, this Divine Favored must also be someone the Mother Goddess trusts immensely!

Similarly, this meant they were also her partner as the Natural Saintess!

Hmm… As per the Mother Goddess’s words, such a person would be called a comrade!

A comrade fighting for her faith and the future of the Elf Clan!

Thinking this, Alice smiled gently at Ling and drew a tree-shaped symbol in front of her chest:

“May nature be with you, Lord Ling.”

Ling’s mouth curved slightly upward, and she likewise drew a tree-shaped symbol on her chest:

“May nature be with you, Lady Alice.”

After speaking, Ling’s figure flickered slightly and vanished from everyone’s sight…

…

On the other side.

The other players who learned the “meet the Goddess” quest reward content were also in a frenzy.

Entering the Divine Country?

A huge wave of free experience points?

And the chance to gain an extra cross-tier skill?

Wow! Long live the Goddess! Indeed, if you want to become strong, you must cling to the Goddess’s thigh!

If before, everyone wanted to get the mainline quest and the chance to meet the Goddess just to satisfy their vanity, now…

Triggering a mainline quest had become the most favorable task for all players.

It’s just, the next Luck King to get such a chance remained unknown.

But one thing was certain: sticking close to the Goddess would never disappoint!

After all… she was the only golden NPC in the entire server!
