Game of the World Tree

"Your Majesty! Have you forgotten the glory of the Empire? Please consider our proposal again!"

In the shabby wooden house, two white-haired aristocrats knelt on the ground with earnest requests.

"Please reconsider our proposal!"

Behind them, several hooded knights knelt down on one knee, their voices neat.

In the room, a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes was sitting at a wooden table.

She looked at the people who were kneeling and bowed, supporting her head crookedly with one hand and playing with her beautiful long golden hair with the other, looking alienated and helpless.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rosen... Lord Berencia, I'm very satisfied with the current situation. I won't mention this title in the future."

The girl shook her head and said.

After finishing speaking, she stood up from the chair and said to several people:

"I don't know how you know I'm here, but... this is the last time, don't let me see you again, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude, don't forget, my teacher is Who."

"Let's go, I'm going out, don't disturb my life anymore."

The girl issued an evacuation order.

"His Majesty!"

The two old nobles repeated it again, with pleading expressions.

Seeing their unfathomable appearance, the girl's emerald green eyes moved up slightly and rolled her eyes.

She rubbed her temples, then gathered her beautiful long golden hair, and sighed:

"I say one last time, please get out of here."

With that, she got up and walked outside the house.

"Your Majesty! Are you willing to be called the incompetent and tragic subjugator Maria by the history book? You... have you forgotten the glory of the Tres family? Are you willing to be a helpless wandering mage, any Oppressed by the ignorant paupers by the nobles of the empire?"

The destitute nobles and knights moved their positions, blocking her way, and said sadly again.

Hearing their words, the girl's expression instantly turned cold.

Her gaze swept across the kneeling nobles and knights, sneered, and stretched out her white arms:

"I count three times... If I don't roll, I'll do it."

"one……"

"two……"

"three……"

"..."

The girl read the numbers coldly.

However, the few people kneeling on the ground still did not move.

Looking at the unmoved nobles and knights, a trace of disgust flashed in the girl's eyes.

She snorted coldly, powerful magic power gathered around her body, and the restless magic power turned into pieces of wind blades, raging towards the wooden house.

For a time, a gust of wind blew, and a wind blade sharper than a knife flew towards the nobles and knights blocking the way, cutting their clothes and leaving bloodstains on their cheeks.

Feeling the stinging pain on his face and the amazing magic power, the desolate noble who bowed down raised his head in horror.

They looked at the girl whose magic power exploded and the increasingly terrifying wind blade in the air, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away from the house...

"Hmph, a group of ambitious, selfish and arrogant cowards... poor idiots who don't even have silver, do you still think I'm the puppet at the mercy of others?"

Seeing the few people fleeing quickly, the girl disdainfully said.

Then, she sighed again:

"These lingering guys... Now that they have found my place, they will definitely not give up."

"Looks like it's time for me to move again?"

With a sigh, she looked at the small and delicate wooden house with some reluctance, and began to pack her luggage.

There is not much luggage to carry.

As a silver-ranked archmage who often moves, the girl has a high-level storage ring that many spellcasters dream of.

Large and small luggage is stuffed into the storage ring, and what she really needs to carry with her is just some lighter clothes and dry food specially selected to cover the existence of storage equipment.

No way, although this storage equipment is easy to use, if it is too public, it will also bring trouble.

And this is from ten years ago.

Since the revolution that changed the history of Saigus ten years ago, the magical concentration of the origin world, which has been integrated with the World Tree, has been different from what it used to be.

The silver professional who was once aloof, now looks at the mainland and is only a slightly stronger superhuman.

However, although the extraordinary strength of the entire continent is not what it used to be, the growth of extraordinary equipment has not kept pace with the increase in the number of extraordinary people.

The storage equipment, which was already scarce, is now relatively scarcer...

Especially after the number of Elf Chosen in the Elf Forest is increasing.

These descendants of the World Tree have even more desire for storage equipment than other professionals.

When there is demand, there is market.

Storage equipment has naturally become more and more scarce.

And this has also caused many people with bad thoughts to have some bad thoughts...

Looting or something is not uncommon at any time.

The wealthy and wealthy Elf Chosen likes to buy these ill-gotten storage equipment on the black market.

Therefore, some mercenaries and adventurers also naturally saw business opportunities.

Whenever they encounter a single professional, they will observe whether the other party has storage equipment. If the strength is weak, they will not hesitate to loot. Finally, they will resell the space equipment they have to the elf talent, making a lot of money. a sum.

Although the Church of Life has strictly prohibited it and sent the Chosen One to specifically suppress the mercenaries and adventurers who participated in such activities, such bad things are still not uncommon.

Especially in the eastern part of the continent where the Church of Life has a weaker control.

Interests move people’s hearts. As long as the interests are big enough, no matter how big the risks are, some people will be willing to take them.

It is also for this reason that every time she embarks on a journey, the girl will cover up very well.

Although as a peak archmage who is only one step away from the golden rank, the girl is not afraid of this kind of robbery.

But a lot of times... it's better to do one more thing than one less thing.

Putting on a clean coarse cloth robe and tying her long golden hair into a high ponytail, the girl left the wooden house.

The warm sunlight poured onto the ground through the gaps in the forest, casting a gorgeous glow.

The girl raised her head to look at the sky, the sky was clear, and the entire sky seemed to have been washed, it was clear blue.

Blossoming cotton-like white clouds slowly drifted past, obscuring the golden sun from time to time.

Beside my ears, the ding-dong of the spring water is accompanied by the cheerful singing of the birds, making a natural movement.

Listening to the crisp singing, the girl's unhappy mood gradually calmed down...

This is a lush forest.

The wooden house where the girl lives is located in the forest.

The wooden house is not large, surrounded by a low fence, and some commonly used magic plants are planted.

A meandering and clear river came from afar, passed by the wooden house, and extended into the distance.

The figures of the nobles and knights fleeing in a hurry have disappeared at the end of the winding stone path.

The girl turned back and took a deep look at the home where she had lived alone for nearly four years, sighed slightly, and left the forest.

Beyond the forest, there are endless wheat fields.

The golden wheat wave stretched into the distance and was divided into two pieces by the winding stone road.

In the fields, hardworking farmers and women can be seen.

When they saw the girl with luggage from a distance, they would put down their work and greeted enthusiastically:

"Good morning! Miss Maria!"

"Lord Maria! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Miss Maria, thank you for helping to treat my child's illness last time. This is the fruit I just picked from my farm. Take some back!"

"Huh? Lady Maria, where are you going?"

These farmers are villagers from nearby villages. They greeted the girl warmly and respectfully.

And the girl also smiled and responded one by one:

"Good morning, Uncle Beluk."

"Aunt Misha, I'm also very happy to meet you!"

"Haha, Grandpa Bruen, this is what I should do, you don't have to be so polite."

"Well...Aunt Catherine, I'm going to travel far, it's going to be a long, long time."

"Going far? You... are you leaving here?"

After hearing the girl's words, the villagers were stunned and asked quickly.

The girl hesitated for a while, and finally nodded:

"Yes, I've been here long enough and it's time for a new journey."

After listening to her words, everyone's expressions changed, and they all showed reluctance:

"Why? Miss Maria, are you unhappy living here?"

"Miss Maria, you helped me cure my father's illness last time, and I haven't invited you to a good meal!"

"Yeah, yeah, you've helped us so much, we haven't had time to thank you enough."

"That's right, let alone Miss Maria, if you leave, who will we ask for advice when we encounter problems that we don't understand in the future?"

The villagers were chattering and looking at the girl with reluctance.

Looking at these simple and sincere villagers, the girl's eyes became softer.

She clearly remembered that when she came here alone, she was still unfamiliar.

At that time, the war in East Saiggs had not yet completely subsided, and all residents were deeply vigilant against professionals.

At that time, although the Church of Life, which had footprints all over the continent, nominally became the guardian of the world of Saiggs, in fact, it had not set foot in this paradise-like village.

However, more than three years later, she is now able to mingle with the residents here.

Now, she has been accepted by this paradise-like village in the easternmost part of the mainland and has become a member of the village.

And to this day, the figures of life believers are also becoming more and more common in East Saiggs.

The girls like this place very much, and they like these simple residents very much.

Before leaving that cage, she had never felt that she had been treated so seriously, and she had made a lot of friends here.

However, she knows that her identity has been exposed, and those nobles who are still unwilling to this day will continue to pester her.

She knows the faces of those people very well, and she doesn't want to stay here and cause trouble to the people in the village.

"It would be nice if the teacher was still there..."

At a certain moment, this thought would float in the girl's mind.

However, she quickly shook her head, leaving this somewhat dependent thought behind her.

A teacher is a teacher, she is her.

After all, she has to grow up, and in the past four years, she has proved that even without the company of the teacher, she can go on alone.

"Maria, I've been walking with you on the mainland for three years, and you're an adult. You can't always be accompanied by someone on the road of life. You have to learn to walk on your own."

"Go on, Maria, to pursue the path in your heart, to find the meaning in your life, to pursue the true dream in your heart..."

"You are not a puppet, you are the only one who can decide your future."

Recalling the teacher's teachings before parting ways with her, the girl was filled with emotion.

After so many years, she has been thinking about the teacher's words, until she settled in this village on the edge of the mainland, and until through her own efforts, she was accepted by these people who she would never have contacted before, and she finally had some ideas.

However, it was finally time to say goodbye.

These villagers are ordinary people.

She doesn't want to affect everyone's life because of herself.

Thinking of this, Maria smiled warmly:

"As the elves said, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world..."

"Thank you for your care over the past few years. I'm leaving. Goodbye everyone."

After speaking, she continued to pack her bags and walked into the distance.

"Miss Maria!"

The villagers followed.

But soon, they were stopped by a gentle magic, and they could only watch the girl leave from a distance.

And halfway through, the girl suddenly turned back.

She looked at the villagers who watched her leave, smiled slightly, and said:

"By the way, it is said that the Church of Life has officially set up a shrine in a nearby town, and there are also priests."

"The Church of Life... is different from other churches. Don't worry that they will exploit the people like the Eternal Church, and don't worry that they will have no principles and power like those small churches."

"They...were trustworthy and dependable."

Speaking of which, even the girl herself didn't realize it, but there was a hint of yearning and admiration in her expression.

"Okay, goodbye everyone, goodbye!"

After speaking, the girl smiled again and left the land where she had lived for several years.

Back on the journey, the girl does not know where her destination is.

However, she doesn't care where her destination is.

For ten years, except for these few years, she spent most of her time wandering the mainland.

She has seen scenery that she had never seen when she was a child, and she has also met many people that she had never known before.

She saw the other side of the world she never knew, and she gradually realized why the once magnificent empire collapsed in an instant...

However, before leaving this area completely, she still has to meet someone.

A person she had known for a while, but she cared about and respected a lot.

Without hesitation, Maria walked straight towards the largest human gathering point nearby - the town of Bonn.

There, there is the Temple of Life that was just built in this extreme eastern land.
