Game of the World Tree

Chapter 71 - a new mission

"The Mother Goddess has responded to me, and She will soon make the revelation known to you directly!"

Inside the Temple of Nature, Alice looked at Li Mu in delight.

But gradually, her expression turned serious. After a few moments, she sighed.

"And this time…I shall go along with you."

"Eh?"

Li Mu froze.

Didn't she just say that she was worried exposing themselves? Alice looked at him and explained.

"The Mother Goddess sent me an oracle ... She said that the half-orcs have a few of our people imprisoned in their stronghold."

"Elves… will never abandon their companions! This is why I must go at all costs.

But don't worry. the Mother Goddess has made her own preparations, and I won't be reckless."

The reality was that, ever since Eve possessed an avatar, she could theoretically just strike and finish off the half-orcs all by herself.

It was just that whenever Eve had such thoughts, there was this sense of anxiety in her heart.

The hunch of a true God was very accurate. This was why she had decided to observe from the shadows and leave everything to the players and NPCs first.

Shortly after Alice finished speaking, the players received a system notification.

[Ding–]

[Player Demacia has triggered a quest: The orcish hunting party]

[Quest objective: (1) Kill all enemies in the orcish stronghold (2) Save the elves that were captured by the half-orcs!]

[time limit: unlimited]

[Maximum number of participants: unlimited]

[Mission level: for all levels]

[Quest rewards: experience points , perfect resurrections, contribution points]

Demacia was stunned, but then became very happy.

"F$ck! I knew it was a hidden quest!"

His shouts made the group of half-orcs look at him as if he was a lunatic.

Soon though, his expression became puzzled.

"Save the elves? Does that refer to me?"

Blackstone glanced at him and gave an order.

"Throw him in prison."

Several half-orcs came forward, carried off Demacia, and put him in a prison cell.

Demacia couldn't care less. His attention was currently fully focused on the system interface in front of him. This particular quest was different from the others. Surprisingly, it even included a plot description for him personally. He read it with great interest.

[Quest Plot Description]

[As the greatest enemy of the elves, half-orc hunting parties have always constituted a huge threat to the elves.]

[Countless elves have been hunted and killed in the past few centuries. The once glorious race has gradually fallen into decline.]

[And now, these hunting parties have finally turned their evil gaze upon you. Having observed your infinite resurrection ability, they suspect that you are involved with the God of Death and proceeded to torture you.]

[As one of the brave and fearless Chosen Ones, you refused to compromise or bow down to the forces of evil. With your cunning lies, you have managed to deceive the half-orcs!]

[The half-orcs have been completely tricked! They have even decided to report your story to Ullr, the God of winter and hunting! And now, you have been thrown into prison.]

Looking at the system messages that appeared one by one, Demacia was amazed.

So cutting-edge! What a cutting-edge hidden quest system! He couldn't believe that it automatically generated a plot purely based on his actions! The description continued.

[Now, it is time to make full use of your brilliance!]

[By observing the half-orcs, you have discovered that they have to make a sacrificial magic circle in order to contact their God. An idea has popped up in your mind.]

Seeing this, Demacia was taken aback.

"Huh?" Half-orcs needed sacrifices to contact their God? Didn't they just have to pray? Now that he thought about it, the half-orc priest did say something about a sacrificial ritual.

And hold on ... what did the system mean with 'an idea has popped up in your mind'? He didn't have a clue! Demacia complained in his mind.

The description continued.

[The half-orcs are extremely powerful. You don't think the Chosen Ones can defeat them on their own, so you must get the assistance of the NPCs. But because there is a priest among the half-orcs, Alice and Berserker cannot publicly take action without exposing themselves.]

Demacia: "..."

I ... I guess I came up with all that?

[You also suddenly recall some knowledge about sacrificial magic circles. At the same time, you discover a way to eliminate the half-orc priest!]

[Once the priest has been killed, the followers of the Goddess can act and strike at the remaining half-orcs!]

Demacia: "..."

Was that so? He stared blankly at the messages.

And wait a minute, since when did I know anything about sacrificial magic circles? And… I've been tied up, so what could I even do? he muttered in his thoughts.

[But, you are not in a position to do this on your own.]

[And then, you suddenly think of your teammates.]

[In your mind, a plan is slowly coming together.]

Demacia: "..."

This was a bit weird. And ... How come he had a feeling that he was being ordered? Wasn't this a pre-arranged quest? Ah, whatever, it was important to contact his team mates first! Quest, quest! This had to be a quest task! Speaking of which, because of everything that had happened, he had completely forgotten to contact his teammates. Demacia hurriedly opened his friends list with his consciousness and was shocked to see that the friend messages addressed to him numbered 99+.

All of them were asking about his well-being ... as well as about his quest. Taking a deep breath, Demacia excitedly contacted Li Mu.

"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, ahahaha! I have activated a hidden quest yet again!

It's about the orcish hunting party! And I've come up with an excellent idea that can wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Reading out everything from the system description, he told Li Mu about the entire plan.

in the Temple of Nature, Li Mu was in awe.

"This guy… wasn't his luck too good?"

After a few exchanged messages, the two of them quickly reached an agreement.

"I know that you already have a good plan.

I will contact the Iron players nearest to your place and ask them to team up with you. I will also contact Salty Little Meow, Box Lunch, Alice, and Berserker to go and support you with your quest!"

Li Mu replied.

After thinking about it, he added:

"You must hold on at all costs. Don't die or the coordinates will be lost.

And also, take care of the captured elves."

Demacia: "..."

"Chill, you guys! It's so damn dirty and smelly in here. I want to just kill myself and respawn in town.

And wait… what do you mean by the captured elves? Didn't that refer to me?"

he replied.

"You trash! It's the original elves who are being held hostage! Look around for them! Just put up with the dirtiness and turn off your sense of smell if it stinks!"

Li Mu replied.

Demacia: "..."

"Fine... you guys hurry up, I don't want to stay in this place for a second longer than is necessary!"

He replied bitterly.

That was when a brittle voice interrupted his thoughts.

"You… are you okay?"

Demacia was taken aback when he looked and saw that there were three weak figures in the prison cell.

When his eyes focused on the other person's delicate face and his pointed ears, he couldn't help but exclaim in excitement:

"F$ck! Elves?!"

There was an elf in here? So there really were hostages! There were three scrawny elves, covered in dirt. They seemed to be very young children, no older than 12 or 13.

There was one boy and two girls.

It was the male elf who had gathered up the courage to talk with Demacia.

The other two female elves were hiding behind him, timidly.

Their appearance was wretched, and their expressions had a few traces of apprehension and fear. But their eyes were still pure.

"You …you've lost a lot of blood…" The young elf said with a timid voice, a hint of worry present in his words.

His innocent eyes that were filled with heartfelt concern reminded Demacia of a pure little angel.

Demacia had a complicated expression.

After a few moments, he sighed.

"Hey… Brother Mu, I've changed my mind.

I'm not in a hurry to leave at all. You guys hurry up and come. I'm going to hold on while I wait.

And, by the way, when you ... arrive, make sure to bring some tasty berries and three sets of clean clothes with you."
