They are the brave and diligent Chosen Ones summoned by the Mother Goddess from another world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To think they are the champions summoned by the Mother Goddess! Does that mean they are Primordial Elves? Or… Divine Envoys?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elves of the Flame Tribe were all astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philosier was shocked and instinctively looked at Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting the gaze of the Flame Tribe’s clan leader, Alice hesitated for a moment and reluctantly nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… sort of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The Mother Goddess had never officially mentioned the true identity of the Chosen Ones…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*But since they appear as elves, they should… should be considered special Primordial Elves, right?* Alice thought, somewhat conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the elves’ surprised expressions, the players excitedly joined in the fun like lackeys, loudly proclaiming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, we are the warriors summoned by the Goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise Nature!

We are elves born directly from the World Tree, so from now on, we are family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncles, aunties, big brothers, and big sisters, if you have any quests, just call us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We promise to complete them promptly and properly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… cough cough, we’re still young and have a lot to learn, so we’ll need to seek your guidance…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the players’ words, the elves’ gazes toward them changed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*These Chosen Ones…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*They truly were a group of kind-hearted, enthusiastic, humble, respectable, and eager-to-learn reliable companions!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the elves’ moved expressions, Alice hesitated for a moment and carefully reminded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… they are indeed very nice people, but sometimes they might do things that are incomprehensible, and at other times, they might… might have some human-like bad habits. You need to be mentally prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Incomprehensible things? Human-like bad habits?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philosier was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she thought of the Chosen Ones charging fearlessly and ruthlessly hunting the Half-Beasts, and their greedy scavenging for equipment after slaying them, not to mention their eyes lighting up at the sight of ancient texts…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she suddenly understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even with those shortcomings, Philosier still felt deeply grateful to the Chosen Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the young Chosen Ones who had fallen in battle, she said with a pained expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alas… they really sacrificed many companions to rescue us this time. Nearly a hundred young lives were lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sacri… sacrificed companions?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Philosier’s words, Alice and the others had strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berserker, who had shrunk to four meters, glanced at the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players averted their eyes, smiling awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berserker: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a cold chuckle and said in a deep voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to worry. They are immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Immor… immortal?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philosier and the others looked stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Samir wore an expression of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Immortal… what does that mean?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could ask for clarity, the Teleportation Array in the center of the square suddenly lit up brilliantly, and dozens of tall figures appeared before everyone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore simple wooden armor and linen robes, their expressions excited:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, hurry! I heard they’ve arrived! And they’ve even captured a dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough, I wonder what expression the NPCs will have when they see us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mention it, Dema, your act was so convincing just now, all melodramatic… a real drama king.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how you’ll handle it when we meet them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the teasing of his companions, Dema placed his hands on his hips and boasted proudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, it’s all for the sake of improving rapport!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These new NPCs are elves too. I bet they’re as straightforward as Alice and the others, raising rapport will be so quick! Once the rapport is high, we can have anything we want!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dismay, dislike, neutral, like, intimate… These different levels of rapport make a huge difference!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you, the reason I can team up with El to hunt monsters is simply because my rapport with him is intimate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he realized his companions were all silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you guys saying anything? Did I say something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered curiously, noticing the others were desperately signaling with their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dema subconsciously followed their gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were all the NPCs standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dema: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Your rapport with Berserker has decreased by 20 points, reaching ‘Dismay’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Your rapport with Alice Wind has decreased by 20 points, maintaining ‘Dismay’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Your rapport with Samir Wind has decreased by 20 points, reaching ‘Neutral’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Your rapport with Philosier Flame has decreased by 20 points, reaching ‘Neutral’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding—Your rapport with El Moonlight has decreased by 20 points, reaching ‘Like’]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dema: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother Dema…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El looked at him, his expression complex,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t realize that’s how you felt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dema’s smile vanished once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","743d37ad5d6b074e29e154ee0f508a2483727aa87ed8dad351dadf407dab0675","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-100","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-98",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
