Chapter 697: Chapter 556: Moving House (Part 2)
Little Xian Miao shook her head.
“Hey, there’s no need to worry about that, the Goddess has already given Mairrel the authority over the divine barrier of Sandstorm City, Mairrel will hide all the treasures in the deepest part of the barrier, let’s see who dares to make any moves!”
Little Black Dragon snorted proudly and said,
but soon, it looked down at the Elf Girl:
“Hey, aren’t you going to follow Mairrel? Mairrel only has you as a friend among the Chosen Ones.”
“Forget it, Sandstorm City is too far away, even with the teleportation array officially established, it takes half a day to get there.”
Little Xian Miao shook her head.
“I see.”
Little Black Dragon was a bit disappointed.
But Little Xian Miao imdiately said,
“However… I’ll visit you once a week, and I’ll also arrange your daily grilled at, that’s sothing I can manage.”
She patted her chest.
“Hmph, does Mairrel care about a bit of grilled at? Mairrel doesn’t care whether you co or not.”
Little Black Dragon said, holding its head high.
Just the wagging tail from side to side seed to reveal its good mood.
“Once I’ve moved, I’ll return these storage rings to you.”
Mairrel put away the last piece of treasure and said.
“Do dragons actually return magic items they’ve acquired?”
Little Xian Miao widened her eyes.
Mairrel: …
“What do you take dragons for?”
“Haha, just kidding.”
Little Xian Miao laughed heartily.
Then, she waved her hand,
“All those space rings, I give them to you. If it’s inconvenient to hide treasures in Sandstorm City, use them to store stuff.”
Mairrel paused for a mont, then nodded without hesitation,
“Then Mairrel won’t be polite.”
After speaking, it turned to look at the Elf Forest, glanced at the visible Black Dragon Castle, and said,
“Well, Mairrel is setting off, rember what you said.”
“Mm-hmm, have a safe journey.”
Little Xian Miao waved her hand with a smile.
And Mairrel waved its wings humanly, then with a long cry, flapped its wings and flew south.
Its figure grew further and soon disappeared into the clouds.
And until she could no longer see the silhouette of the Little Black Dragon, the smile on Little Xian Miao’s face slowly faded.
She dropped her hand, sighed,
“*After spending so much ti with this guy, it’s surprisingly hard to part.*”
“Then just go to Sandstorm City together.”
Eve said with a smile under her alias “Feng.”
But Little Xian Miao shook her head,
“Forget it, it’s too far, and Chosen City is still expanding, I can’t leave.”
The ngng Committee was the main force in building Chosen City.
With two hundred thousand new players flooding in, the further expansion of Chosen City was inevitable, and as the Guild Leader, she would be undoubtedly busy.
“Besides, how is Sandstorm City more fun than Chosen City? It’s barren, the air isn’t good, nor is the food, only that guy Mairrel likes it.”
Little Xian Miao pouted.
Listening to her words, Eve just smiled slightly and said nothing more.
*Two months had passed since the half-orcs’ defeat.*
*In those two months, not only did the players occupy Sandstorm City, but they also found Royal Court of the half-orcs and completely crushed their last resistance.*
*Now, the entire Death Desert was essentially within the control of the Elf Clan.*
*With the loss of nearly half of their population, most of the remaining half-orcs chose to surrender.*
*The tribes of half-orcs that stubbornly resisted could only shrink into the more southern regions of the Death Desert and continue to tussle with the spontaneously ford player teams.*
*Honestly, facing the motivated players, their downfall was only a matter of ti.*
*And after occupying the Death Desert, the next issue was governance.*
Eve didn’t plan to personally intervene in this aspect but entrusted the increasingly experienced Primordial Elf Serandir to handle it.
However, Sandstorm City, the most crucial location node, still needed a strong force to hold it.
It connected to the Underworld and was directly opposed to the forces of the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder, aning a powerful presence was needed to maintain order.
And Eve’s choice was the Black Dragon Mairrel, who had ascended to the Golden Rank and whose actual combat power was nearing the legendary level.
This was also why the Little Black Dragon was moving.
The Death Desert and Dark Mountain Range had both co under Eve’s jurisdiction, making the Black Dragon Castle less important, and Mairrel’s presence wasn’t needed there anymore.
“By the way, Sister Feng, I didn’t see you during the Death Desert war recently? Where did you go?”
While Eve was lost in thought, Little Xian Miao’s question interrupted her.
She paused for a mont, then said slightly apologetically,
“Sorry, I was operating solo at that ti; I’m not fond of group battles.”
“Looks like you really are a lone wolf.”
Little Xian Miao muttered.
She didn’t think much of it, because while others might not know, she was well aware of how skilled this Druid, Sister Feng, was.
The other party was just too low-key; Little Xian Miao guessed that even Moonlight Jasmine wouldn’t be a match for her if they really fought.
Her recent surge in magical ability was all thanks to the other’s guidance.
Though accurate shooting was still elusive.
Little Xian Miao had given up precision for a widespread approach…
If accuracy wasn’t possible.
Then it was all about firepower.
A carpet bombing, blowing everything away, negated the need for precision.
Everyone had their own style, and since Wind didn’t like being in the lilight, Little Xian Miao naturally wouldn’t worry needlessly.
Instead, sotis she found it more interesting to invite Wind for so casual shopping or fun.
While Eve and Little Xian Miao were chatting idly, she suddenly noticed that Little Xian Miao furrowed her brows slightly.
Eve’s heart stirred; she instantly knew what was going on but didn’t show it, only asking,
“What’s up?”
“Ugh… I got a ssage from the guild; soone’s causing trouble in Chosen City again. Every ti new players join, they have to stir things up! Don’t they realize this city is a product of everyone’s effort?! With so many people in the city already, it’s troubleso enough…”
The girl complained.
“There’s no helping it; with more people, it’s always like this. Once they adjust to ‘Elf Kingdom’s’ pace, things will get better.”
Eve replied with a smile.
“Guess it’s the only way.”
Little Xian Miao shook her head.
She sighed again,
“Sigh, I used to look forward to seeing millions of players swarming in during the ‘Elf Kingdom’ public test, but now… it’s clear the officials were wise. In such player-driven story gas, you really can’t open all the slots at once, or else all the plans laid down by the predecessors would be disrupted…”
“Sister Feng, I’ll head back to the guild now; I’ll look for you when I’m free next ti.”
Eve nodded,
“Mm, go ahead.”
Little Xian Miao waved to her, then used the teleportation array on the tree trunk temple to return to Chosen City.
And Eve continued standing on the canopy, watching the city below thoughtfully…
“With over three hundred thousand players now, Chosen City was increasingly strapped, although it could continue to expand, the city’s growing size brought more and more problems…”
“The larger the city, the greater the supply pressure, and given the current productivity of players and elves, it might still be hard to support a truly large city. Maintaining order is also a problem…”
“It’s necessary to officially establish a city managent system; relying on a few major guilds to maintain order voluntarily isn’t a solution. Although the system can constrain players to so extent, it’s not flexible enough, easily exploited…”
“Feilengcui and Cenolan are fine, as their residents are mainly elves and half-elves, with few player troubles and none daring to provoke any trouble; they can just be managed by the Life Temple and Serenadil…”
“But Chosen City is different; most people here are players, and elves can’t be relied on to restrain them. Hmm… the elves can’t control these lawless and mischievous treasures…”
“Moreover, the entire range of Death Desert and the Elf Forest is now fully open to players, and a single stronghold is no longer enough to satisfy their adventures, especially in the northern Elf Forest…”
“In addition… there are also new areas to develop and control…”
“Hmm… looks like it’s about ti to build a new city to divert the population and open the city and City Lord systems to players.”
