The warm sunshine spilled over the earth, and the joyful chirping of birds echoed in the lush forest.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed in the Segis World.
The ti had already reached early May, and the spring breeze swept across the land, making everything flourish abundantly.
Over the past month, the construction of the new city had always been a hot topic of discussion and attention among the players.
And the number of players participating in the construction remained high.
At its peak, nearly 250,000 players were online simultaneously, participating in the construction efforts at various city-building sites.
The results had been remarkable as well.
With the assistance of magic, the city-building speed of the Tianchao players was rather astounding.
The characteristic of being infrastructure fanatics was once again brought to its fullest by them.
Under the guidance of veteran players, the majority of the 200,000 new players who joined during the public beta dedicated their month’s gaplay to the new city construction.
Construction tasks, one after another, beca their daily routine.
Thanks to these efforts, in just over a month, the fastest guild had already completed the most critical infrastructure construction.
This included the Life Temple, Central Plaza, City Hall, Guild Residence, Residential Area, Comrcial Area, and more.
In other words, they had already t several standards of the official city-building requirents, ready to welco the Goddess’ statue, establish a city managent system, and formally apply to display the city na on the ga map.
However, the guild group that first completed the basic construction was not the ngng Committee as the players had assud.
Instead, it was the Nature’s Heart Guild, which currently ranked first in overall strength across the server.
But, if soone visited the city-building sites of the two major guilds, they would understand why.
Although the ngng Committee had rich experience in city-building, the site they chose presented too high a challenge.
Building a city in the mountains, even with the assistance of magic, was not an easy task.
On the contrary, selecting a site on the river bay with flat terrain and the assistance of various NPCs made Nature’s Heart’s progress much quicker.
On the eastern border of the Elf Forest, along the ever-flowing Vimur River.
A city, using white stone as its base and filled with flowers and green grass, was already taking shape.
Greyport.
This was the na that the Nature’s Heart Guild gave her.
Eve, wearing her Wind disguise, sat astride the unicorn she had fostered in Chosen City, standing beneath the city walls of Greyport, nodding quietly as she looked at the city that had been built in just over a month.
The city walls of Greyport had not been completely finished, and currently only a city gate was constructed.
However, the foundation had been laid, and from here on, it just needed to be slowly improved.
This was a typical elf-style city, with traditional elf-style reliefs and patterns adorning the buildings, grand and imposing yet exuding elegance and precision, even the city gate was no exception.
It was clear that Nature’s Heart had put in a lot of effort this ti, planning to create an authentic elf city.
The city’s roads were also paved with white stone bricks, spacious and straight, extending in all directions.
Players ca and went, traversing the city, with many still pushing wheelbarrows full of building materials, busy at work.
Eve patted the unicorn beneath her, which snorted before gracefully proceeding into the city.
Inside the city, it was still rather empty.
The main roads had been built, but many areas had yet to be developed.
Eve knew that these were lots reserved by players specifically for future planning.
However, the further she went along the road towards the heart of the city, the more buildings appeared on both sides.
So residential houses, comrcial streets, taverns, blacksmith shops, and workshops had already been completed.
Eve even saw so elf and half-elf believers.
Her heart stirred as she quietly rode the unicorn closer.
As Eve approached, the voices of the believers’ conversation reached her ears:
"Hey, Phil, good morning."
"Mister, what are you doing here? Hasn’t the temple already been completed? Your trial mission should be over, right? You can apply to the church to purify your bloodline and beco a true elf."
"Hey, praise the great Eve Goddess! The temple has indeed been completed, and the church has notified that I can go to Feilengcui to purify my bloodline. However, I thought about it, and it seems living here might not be so bad. Besides, after the temple here is completed, I can also directly undergo the bloodline purification ceremony here."
"Hmm? Are you planning to settle down here?"
"Yes, hehe, after helping out here for so many days, I feel like I’ve grown to like it, so I’m not planning to leave."
"But as I recall, weren’t you planning to stay in Cenolan and beco a Guiding Priest traveling between the two realms? And you even took the priest trials for that."
"That was the plan before, now I think Greyport is quite nice, and I have high hopes for its future! As for being a priest, I can do that here too. The Chosen Ones have invited to stay, and once I purify my bloodline, I can serve as a temple priest in Greyport!"
"So you were invited too?"
"You were too?"
"That’s right, haven’t I been helping out by crafting tools here these past days? After a while, I got to know the Chosen Ones well, and they invited to stay as well to beco a craftsman NPC, and even assigned a workshop!"
"That’s great! They also told I could pick a villa here, and I’ve already thought it over. Once I settle down here, if life goes well, I’ll bring Alya and the others over, and build a small garden behind the villa just like back ho!"
