Chapter 202: The Dawn of A New Era (2/2)

The Elven Queen naturally granted permission and nodded—in her oracle, Luna the Silver Moon Goddess had mentioned something similar, to permit the believers of the God of Games to build something called a Wonder Rock.

“That won’t be a problem. I agree to your request in Luna’s name. However, only one-third of Trinia’s population are pure believers of Luna. Another third are pure believers of the Nature Goddess, whereas the rest are believers of both goddesses or other gods. Therefore, you may only build in the territory of Luna’s believers.”

“No problem.” Edward naturally agreed as if solemnly vowing.

“Very well. When would you be able to finish construction?” The Elven Queen asked.

“Today.” Edward did not hesitate in his reply.

“…Today?”

“Yes.”

Xi Wei-brand blueprints, building anyplace unoccupied—your liege won’t have to worry about providing facilities!

Hence, Edward and the others placed the quest item in the largest square along the streets that the believers of Luna owned.

Then, as the elves gaped, the matured wonder that was the Lifestone started constructing itself.

One must mention here that the Lifestone was the most beautiful structure in Xi Wei’s series of blueprints—even the elves were content with having that half-transparent crystalline stone that hovered in the air.[1]

“Here—”

Upon arriving at the square, the Elven Queen was about to speak a few words to encourage the elves in working with their new allies since most elves could not accept humans yet, but in that split second, the Lifestone was spitting out a horde of Players as if it was having diarrhea.

After all, Gou Dan had been livestreaming their tour of the elven capital, and many Players already couldn’t wait to visit this place.

As such, they were all rushing there in tour groups.

“This the elves’ capital? It feels so cool!”

“Why are the buildings all white? Won’t their eyes go blur?”

“All these people around us must be wood elves… so beautiful?”

“Yo, you’re here too, Marni? Did you bring my AWM?”

“I did. Cash upon delivery.”

“Deliver first. Or are you afraid I won’t pay up!?”

“The last person who said that to me con me off dozens of thousands Rions and ran away with his mistress.”

“…”

“This square is huuuge. Can I put up a stall here? Bone Powder Chest Plate, blue item, fifty game coins, satisfaction guaranteed or your money back—”

“Conman! Return my hard-earned money!”

As the square erupted into a pandemonium, the Elven Queen felt her blood pressure shoot up immediately. In fact, she might have blown all those people away if not for her constant mental and spiritual development and fine upkeep.

‘Heroes?! These people from the Church of Games are all maniacs!’

Even as the Elven Queen inadvertently stumbled on the truth about the Players in her mind, she did not know that she herself had parted the curtains for them as they progressed into a new era.
