Game of the World Tree

The town of Bonn is located on the southeast coast of East Segers.

It used to belong to a small principality and was almost isolated from the world by relying on the natural barrier of the eastern mountains.

It's just that, after the Revolution of Life that spread here a few years ago, this humble principality has also become part of the Eastern Seggs Alliance, abolishing the aristocracy like the rest of the continent.

The East Saiggs, which once could not be conquered by the Holy Mania Empire, were united from within by the power of commoners and mercenaries.

Then came the change of faith.

The many beliefs of the original East Saiggs disappeared one after another because they lost their connection with the gods.

At the same time, the Church of Life began to spread rapidly here, just like the expansion in other regions.

Today, even the closed town of Bonn has officially settled in the Church of Life.

It is said that this is the last town on the entire continent without a change of faith.

With the establishment of the Temple of Life in Bonn Town, the footprint of the Church of Life has completely covered the entire continent.

This is something that the once powerful Eternal Church has not done...

The village where Maria is located is not too far from the town of Bonn.

Climb over two hills, cross a river, and cross a forest, and you're there.

It was noon and the sun was hanging high. This town, which is said to have a population of only more than 5,000 people, was much more deserted than before.

Looking around, the scattered buildings on both sides of the street are decorated with lights, but there are few people on the road paved with slate.

Even the sporadic pedestrians that can be seen are hurriedly running in the same direction.

They were talking about something while running, their expressions seemed to be quite excited, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Seeing people heading towards the place, Maria moved in her heart and quickly realized what was going on...

"Speaking of which, I saw it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the village two days ago. Today is the day when the Temple of Life was officially completed."

"Everyone in the town... should all go to watch the ceremony, right?"

The girl muttered.

She took a deep breath, tidied up her clothes, and walked towards the direction where people gathered.

Speaking of which... her destination was also there.

The town of Bonn is not big. Compared with the large towns in the central and western parts of the mainland, which often have tens of thousands of people, it can be called a pocket.

It only took Maria twenty minutes to walk from the east to the west of the town.

In front of the town's west square, a shrine with a pointed dome rose from the ground, and the golden scepter symbol on the spire shone in the sunlight.

Around the temple stood white boulder columns, decorated with exquisite patterns, and above the arched main entrance of the temple, the words "Temple of Life" were written in gorgeous Elvish and standard continental languages.

At this moment, the front of the temple was already crowded with townspeople who came to watch the inauguration ceremony of the temple, and more than a dozen fully armed guards were standing upright and maintaining order.

Maria recognized it, it was a professional guard of the Alliance, and it was said that everyone was a devout believer of life.

At the very front of the temple, a tall figure in a white priest robe was holding a golden "Tome of Life" with his back to the crowd, shaking his head and reciting something.

Seeing the iconic priest's robe, Mary's eyes lit up.

She wanted to go up to see, but after taking a step, she hesitated.

Speaking of which, her views on the Church of Life are quite complicated.

This church destroyed her country, leaving her to remain anonymous and wandering everywhere.

But at the same time, it was this church that brought hope to the common people and changed the order of the entire continent.

Thinking back to that night ten years ago, the girl is still a little scared to this day.

The endless rebels on the street, the red flags fluttering, the flames soaring into the sky...

Although today, she has gradually understood what happened back then.

But every time she thought about the battle that night, the fallen nobles, and the commoners who were torn to shreds by the nobles' charge, she couldn't help but tremble.

Change always requires sacrifice, and war...even if it is just, it can still bring destruction.

That night too.

In the past ten years, she has woken up from her sleep countless times, and her mind is full of the tragic situation inside and outside the palace that night.

If it wasn't for the protection of the teacher, it is very likely that she would have died in the anger of the rioting people, just like other nobles and even innocent civilians in the inner city.

The experience of that night has left a shadow in the girl's heart.

until today.

Looking at the crowd gathered in front of the Temple of Life, the girl sighed and took her steps back.

never mind.

Not to go.

Although I want to say goodbye to that person, but... the identity of the other party is a high-ranking priest of the Church of Life, and he is an anonymous royal family.

Speaking of which...the relationship between the two parties is inherently hostile, although she doesn't hate the Church of Life from the bottom of her heart, but...if the other party knows her true identity, I'm afraid they won't let her go, right?

After all, ten years have passed, and from time to time in the Republic of Mania, there will be royalists who want to restore the empire. Although the Eternal Church has been completely replaced by the Church of Life, the situation is far from being completely stable.

Especially in the past few years, even the semi-reclusive Maria has heard some rumors about Mania from the tavern in the town from time to time. It seems that with the passage of time, the suppressed noble forces have become more eager to move... …

Obviously...their strength is so good.

Thinking of this, Maria felt a little strange again, wondering where those stupid remnants of nobles got their courage.

Even if they also announced their willingness to support the Church of Life, they have already lost the popular support. The so-called restoration or something... In the words of the elves, it is undoubtedly a reversal of history.

Although the girl did not understand what it meant to reverse the car.

Maria's thoughts flew.

At this moment, there were warm applause and cheers from the direction of the temple.

It seemed that the priest's congratulations were over.

The girl raised her head and looked over, only to see the tall figure in front of the temple put down the holy book in her hand and turned her head slowly.

However, when she saw the other party's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Pointy ears, red hair, and a smile on his handsome face.

The girl recognized it. This is one of the Elf Chosen Ones who participated in the construction of the temple with the arrival of the Church of Life some time ago. The name is Demacia, a somewhat cynical Chosen leader.

However, this was not the person she was looking for.

She has never liked this kind of guy with an outgoing personality, although the other party is a noble elf.

In particular, the other party is also one of the promoters of the Great Revolution.

When she thought that the fight that night was inseparable from the other party, Maria felt uncomfortable.

Not only that, when the Church of Life first came here, she seemed to be recognized by the other party. If it wasn't for the adult in the church to stop the other party, maybe this guy would have been blocked at the door of his house long ago.

Tough.

Maria rubbed her temples, and for a moment even wondered whether the exposure of her identity might also be related to the other party.

After all, the other party's reputation seems to be more subtle even among elves.

At this moment, a somewhat surprised voice came from behind her:

"Maria?"

The voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains.

Hearing the familiar voice, Maria instantly woke up.

She was overjoyed and turned back quickly.

What caught my eye was a female elf wearing a white priest's robe. Like her, she was blond and blue-eyed, but it gave off a sacred, dignified, and indestructible air.

She was standing outside the crowd, looking at Maria with a smile.

Maria laughed too.

Her expression suddenly became respectful.

I saw that she stepped forward and gently pinched the corner of the mage's robe, gave a standard lady's salute to the female elves, and said with a smile:

"Ms. Feng, good noon."
