There really are ruins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players looked excited as they gazed at the spot where the Goblin had lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them spread a vast sea of flowers, stretching as far as the eye could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And amidst this floral expanse, dilapidated and ancient Elf buildings were scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, they had found a new Elf Ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although rundown, covered by wildflowers and vines, the ruins still faintly bore the glory of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone carvings with exquisite patterns, the towering and majestic white stone structures, even when collapsed or weathered, still emitted a beautiful and enchanting aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the ancient Elven architectural style, despite its ruinous state, added a depth and solemnity of time that made one feel an overwhelming sense of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must have been an Elf City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by its scale, these ruins might rival the Holy City of Feilengcui and the Forging Capital Rivendell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sea of flowers… a city… There’s no doubt! This must be the Elf City mentioned in the documents found by Quetzal! What was it called again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s called Cenolan,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chopin added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Cenolan! It’s one of the seven main cities of the Elf Kingdom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prompted by his teammates, Hu Lu nodded enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awesome! There must be a lot of good stuff in there! Haha, if we can find a few epic-level or silver-ranked meditation techniques, we’ll be rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Optimist said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players’ eyes sparkled with joy, caught in the throes of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been playing the game for a long time, becoming seasoned veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever players discovered Elf Ruins on a new map, they typically found some valuable items within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was broken equipment, maybe some ancient books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these things could be offered to the Goddess to gain considerable contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, if they were lucky enough to pick up a rare item, they would really hit the jackpot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the meditation technique Li Mu and Demacia found in Feilengcui was still providing endless benefits, envied by countless players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold steady, don’t rush,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Box Lunch reminded in a deep voice as he saw his teammates’ excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing his words, the players quickly gathered themselves, falling silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a new map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in excitement, they had to be cautious to avoid any dangers that might lead to disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, these types of ruins often housed many Goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the current strength of the team made the experience points from Goblins insignificant, every little bit added up over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his teammates had calmed down, Box Lunch made a gesture and whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s explore together, watch your surroundings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping their weapons and with heightened awareness, they proceeded into the ruins…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exploration by Box Lunch’s team was unexpectedly peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they ventured deeper, the imagined monsters and traps didn’t appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players were surprised to find the ruins were eerily quiet, seemingly devoid of any creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Goblins they had been chasing earlier seemed to have vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too quiet here, isn’t it? What about the Goblins? For such a large ruin, there should be a Goblin nest, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh… if you look closely, there are still traces of Goblins living here, but strangely, we haven’t encountered any.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? What happened to the one we were chasing earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t notice, seems we lost it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued exploring the ruins, whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they put the monster concerns aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after entering the ruins, they discovered a large amount of damaged weapons and armor buried within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed a fierce battle had once occurred here, as just beneath the layer of soil under the floral expanse lay skeletons and various equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the equipment mainly consisted of armor and swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some ruined robes and bows, but centuries had decayed these beyond recovery, leaving only metal armors and swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the skeletons, most were humanoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, they appeared to belong to the Elf Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other racial skeletons were found, which was somewhat curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the players no longer cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyfully, they picked up the equipment buried for centuries, stuffing them into their storage rings like scavengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storage ring was shared by the team, pooled together to purchase from the exchange, with nearly thirty cubic meters of space to hold a lot of items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unfortunately, besides the leftover war equipment, they didn’t find the ancient books they had imagined…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a lot of equipment buried in the ruins, but the five players didn’t just furiously dig and pick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scavenging for a while, they decided to survey the entire ruins first to avoid missing any more precious treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this decision also stemmed from their experience that new maps usually came with potential new quests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team planned to explore and find any trigger points for quests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them believed such large ruins wouldn’t have a hidden quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed through collapsed ruins, picking up “treasures” along the way, until they finally stood before a solemn shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although half-collapsed, the shrine’s architectural style matched that of Feilengcui, and the damaged roof displayed the symbol of the World Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a shrine! Let’s check for valuable things inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright-eyed, the players eagerly entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as they stepped inside, they suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the half-collapsed statue stood a figure familiar to every player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her black dress armor, with flowing silver hair, exquisite features, and a cool expression, she was the rare purple NPC from “Elf Kingdom,” the only elf with Golden Rank power, endearingly called “Big Sis Zero” by the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned, they instinctively hid or dropped the gear they had picked up and hadn’t yet stashed in their storage rings…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Box Lunch was caught off guard, while the others burst into surprised exclamations:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! Isn’t that Big Sis Zero?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t she supposed to be in the Chosen City? What is she doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hope she didn’t see us digging for skeletons and stripping gear, or we’ll lose favor again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shh… keep it down…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… encountering a purple NPC on a new map, are we about to trigger a hidden storyline?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not loud, their voices resonated clearly in the otherwise quiet shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they saw a pair of eyes, scarlet with a hint of purple, glance their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze was calm, curious, yet carried an air of authority and a pressure as if it could see through their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Box Lunch, all five players involuntarily shuddered, feeling as if they had been seen through from the inside out… gulping reflexively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a clear, melodious voice with a hint of surprise rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chosen Ones? What are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.253Z",1,"novelbin.me","de00adc22c68aa05ac303e9947991ba4a4e7eb9e7de4a62be317134039b9ab10","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-446","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-444",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
