Chapter 197
The White Night City was very quiet at night, with only the occasional footsteps of patrol teams passing by.
As the lord's mansion is close to the military zone, it has always been a key patrol location. It happened that Blaise and Felix passed by the lord's mansion together when they were taking over tonight.
When they saw Nao walking out of the lord's mansion, the two of them immediately put their hands on their weapons.
“Who is it?!”
But the next moment they saw the familiar donkey Ottophis, and then a beautiful humanoid woman and a red-haired little girl walked out of the gate of the lord's mansion.
"…Ottophis?"
Seeing Bai Ye's mount and Nao, whom they had never seen before, standing together, the two of them couldn't help but pause.
Seeing this, Nao gave them both a familiar, gentle smile. "Blaise, Felix, the homework I assigned you when Lord Bai Ye and I left last time was the Klingon magic language analysis for Blaise and the ice bloodline research for Felix. It's been a month. Have you both finished it?"
"Y-You are... Mr. Wuming?!"
A familiar voice, a familiar smile, and an even more familiar 'homework'... Even though they had never seen Nao in a three-dimensional state, the two of them immediately recognized who was in front of them, and there was no possibility of him being pretending.
The voice and appearance can be faked, but the homework assigned to them individually is so difficult for them to imagine that no one else could know it except the nameless teacher himself.
Nao smiled at the two students in front of him and explained, "Let me introduce myself again. My real name is Nao. I was in that state before because I was cursed. Now Lord Bai Ye has lifted the curse for me."
"So that's how it is..."
The lord always brings new gains every time she goes out. It seems that the last time she left was to deal with the curse of Wuming... no, Teacher Nao.
The two of them thought as a matter of course, and then their eyes fell on the elf and the little girl next to them.
Felix was stared at by the red-haired little girl's emerald eyes. For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy and asked Nao quickly, "Teacher, why can't I see the Lord?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
Nao stretched out his slender palm as he spoke. In that palm, there was a crystal halo that resonated synchronously with the Tree of Creation in the territory.
Sensing the aura of the halo, Blaise and Felix's expressions grew serious: "Lord..."
"Lady Bai Ye is currently tied up with some important matters, so she's asked me to temporarily manage the territory's development on her behalf." Nao said seriously, "We need to restore this city to eternal glory when Lady Bai Ye returns. Go gather the rest of the territory..."
"Yes!" Blaise and Felix responded without hesitation.
The halo in Nao's hand is not a normal prop in the game. It is a temporary "authorization" created by Ye Bai through the console and combining his connection with the Tree of Creation.
Anyone who is a resident of White Night City can feel the will of the authorizer when seeing it. It is a kind of "city lord order" that cannot be forged and has a very high priority.
When Ye Bai was making it, she was not sure whether this thing could fully function, but based on her understanding of Nao, she was not worried that he would not be able to handle such a thing well.
In addition, he had previously served as a teacher of extraordinary courses for all senior professionals in the territory. As long as there was no misunderstanding, there was basically no situation where he could not mobilize them. This authorization was just an added layer of insurance, and it also allowed Nao to perform some operations on the Tree of Creation on his behalf.
Blaise and Felix hurried to summon other important figures in the territory, leaving the kings of the four tribes who descended from the divine realm in the hall of the lord's mansion.
Seeing that Nao had the King's "will" in his hand, Ottophis on the side rolled his eyes at him. Inolusia and Kraken looked at him with curiosity and a little envy, while the other looked at him with a look of "can I eat it?"
Upon seeing this, the God King's mouth curled up slightly in satisfaction, and then he carefully retracted the halo into his palm, hiding it completely.
Since the emergence of Divine Summoning, players' activity trajectories have changed dramatically compared to the past. The benefits of early contact with high-level map NPCs are not just as simple as obtaining help from strong people.
Because the NPCs summoned by the divine realm are not additional fictional existences, but really exist in another world that can be visited in the future, almost all activities of interstellar players during this period revolve around the powerful people in the divine realm.
In this way, when you are able to go to the divine realm in the future, you will be able to gain new advantages when operating in the divine realm through the information obtained from the summoned people.
In the territory with a civilization as its background, players have gathered territory resources and invested heavily in drawing cards.
After all, players active in a civilized territory are simply not recognized by the system as belonging to the territory, but in fact they completely belong to the territory. The number of strong men that can be summoned is limited by the player's rank. Of course, the big forces will not waste resources on a player to repeatedly draw cards, but will allocate resources to players loyal to the territory to maximize summoning.
In this way, the number of gods that can be summoned by large territories is very considerable. In addition, many territories have accumulated enough school tendencies and have been upgraded from town level to city level. It is originally a period of score explosion. The scores of the territories below the White Night City on the lord ranking list began to rise rapidly.
In comparison, White Night City has been growing steadily, and it seems that there is nothing worthy of special attention.
Just when all the StarCraft players thought so, as expected, an accident happened.
Overnight, the rating of White Night City suddenly doubled, and without any warning, it went directly from over 200,000 to over 400,000.
It would be fine if some obvious changes had occurred in Bai Ye City, but the sudden increase in ratings happened silently at night, as if Bai Ye was deliberately "staging a sneak attack" to gain points!
——So what kind of trouble has happened in White Night City again?!
When [Divine Summoning] first appeared, it wasn't that no civilization had paid attention to Bai Ye's movements. Because later on, there were also lucky lord players who discovered high-level minerals nearby. Everyone knew that there were mines in Bai Ye's territory, and [Divine Summoning] just happened to require energy to replenish.
Baiye City was the first in the entire game to explore and utilize source energy crystal resources. In the entire universe, if we talk about the confidence of spending money to draw cards, Baiye is definitely second to none.
If interstellar players put themselves in Bai Ye's shoes, they would definitely be able to spend a lot of energy to summon the most satisfactory powerful god.
Of course, in their estimation, there are limits to what Bai Ye can do. After all, even if she has more energy to draw cards, and her level is higher than other players, the number of powerful gods she can summon is not much more. There are no players loyal to Bai Ye in Bai Ye City, they are all NPCs.
When it comes to "player benefits" like summoning from the divine realm, Bai Ye should be naturally at a disadvantage compared to them.
So after analysis, seeing that there was no major change in the territory score of White Night City, everyone gradually shifted their attention.
Now, due to the outrageous surge in the territory's rating, news about White Night City once again occupied a place in the news about the God Realm on the Star Network. Interstellar agents from major civilizations active in the Blue Star Server immediately began to take action and headed to White Night City to gather information.
On the main road of White Night City.
"Is this the territory you said needs my help?" A 'Forest Singer' summoned from the divine realm asked the player walking beside him.
The Forest Singer is the Bard's advanced third-level profession and a rare auxiliary magic profession.
"No! That's not the case." Upon hearing this, the player named Duo Luo quickly denied it, fearing that the other party would misunderstand that she really worked for Baiye City. "I'm just passing through this city temporarily."
Since the emergence of Divine Summoning, all major civilizations have concentrated all gaming resources in the myriad realms on territory development, and agents like Doro who are active outside have received much less support in gaming.
However, Duoluo was lucky enough to have received a hidden mission some time ago and completed it, thus earning some extra income. After weighing the pros and cons, she chose to conduct a divine summoning.
Unexpectedly, Duo Luo drew a miracle alone and summoned the forest singer in front of him. From the name of the profession, you can tell that the other party's abilities are closely related to plants.
After communicating, they found out that the other party's forest magic could stimulate the growth of plants, which was a rare type among the powerful people in the divine world and was suitable for territory. After the news was reported, Duo Luo was immediately transferred from the Blue Star service agent position. Civilization asked her to take the forest singer to the core territory of their own civilization immediately.
Because she didn't want to waste ten days of summoning time, Dora came to the nearest White Night City and teleported from this only player city with a teleportation array to the territory near her own civilization.
As an agent, Dorothy also received the task of investigating the situation in White Night City, but her highest priority task now is the transfer order, which will be done by her colleagues.
However, just as Dora was leading the Forest Singer all the way to the teleportation array in White Night City, suddenly, the Forest Singer, who was a half-elf, seemed to sense something, moved his pointed ears, and then his expression changed, and he walked quickly in one direction.
“Huh?!”
Duo Luo was caught off guard. When she saw the direction the Forest Singer was heading, as a Blue Star server player who was particularly familiar with White Night City, she immediately recognized it as the magical greenhouse in the city where high-grade plants were grown.
That is the area in White Night City where outsiders are prohibited from entering!
The Forest Singer, who had changed his profession three times, was extremely fast. By the time Duo Luo reacted, the opponent's figure had shrunk a lot, and Duo Luo hurriedly caught up with him.
Then, as expected, Dora came to the magic greenhouse and immediately saw the guards of White Night City stopping the forest singer who wanted to enter.
From a distance, Duo Luo heard the forest singer, who he remembered as polite but a little proud, anxiously say to the guard who was blocking his way:
"I hold no ill will towards your territory. I simply wish to visit your Majesty once."
Who are you meeting? Who is Your Majesty?
Dora was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the door of the magic greenhouse in front of her open at this time, and Lucy, the White Night City potion master who was no stranger to her, walked out.
When the greenhouse door opened, Dora vaguely caught a glimpse of an elegant and beautiful female figure standing inside, who seemed to be naturally shrouded in soft light.
At this time, Lucy came out of the greenhouse and looked over. Her eyes fell on the forest singer, and then she waved to the guard, "Let him in."
The guard obeyed and let him pass, and the forest singer immediately showed an expression of surprise.
"The king is willing to see me... That's great!"
In an instant, the forest singer felt as if he had gained supreme glory. Then he thought of something, and hurriedly lowered his head to tidy up his appearance. In a state of embarrassment and excitement, he walked into the magic greenhouse in front.
Dora looked at the scene in confusion and wanted to follow in, but was immediately stopped by the guards. Lucy didn't agree to let her in either, so she could only wait anxiously and blankly at the door.
Fortunately, after just a moment, the Forest Singer came out in high spirits, as if he had fulfilled a long-cherished wish. When he saw Duo Luo, he realized, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Duo Luo was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and immediately asked, "It's okay, what did you do just now?"
"I went to see the Queen." The forest singer's voice rose a few degrees involuntarily, and he subconsciously raised his chin, showing his excitement and pride. His words were like an aria: "As a half-elf, I have been able to see Her Majesty the Queen. My life has been fulfilled."
Queen? The Elf Queen?!
Doro had long known from the Forest Singer that the High Elves were one of the top races in the God Realm, and that the various other sub-races of elves, half-elves, etc., were all followers and vassals of this top race. For example, the Forest Singer was a powerful half-elf.
The vassal tribes’ worship of the core tribe is obvious, just like the dragon tribe under the sky city, they are proud to be close to the tribe they worship.
After learning about the divine realm's situation from the NPCs, most players knew about the top races in the divine realm. Some lucky players had witnessed them firsthand when they were summoned. Now... the king of a top race appeared in White Night City?
Duo Luo's head was buzzing, and at this moment she could only repeat a simple question in a 'naive' manner -
No, no, how many source energy crystals did Bai Ye spend on the summoning of the divine realm?
