Aelionteu, Sky City left over from Eight Greed Kings.
Although it has experienced hundreds of years of scorching sunshine and wind and rain, there is still no sign of weathering and dilapidation here.
Quite the opposite!
It is the only place in this vast desert that can provide water for passing merchants and travelers.
The clear water flows down from high altitude like a waterfall, hitting the ground day and night, eventually forming a sapphire-like lake oasis.
From a high position, you can even vaguely see some Horde making their home near the oasis.
Every once in a while, there will be a guy who looks like a priest leading the Horde members to kneel to the sky. From a distance, the scene looks quite spectacular.
But they will never know that the Aelionteu Guardianss whom they regard as gods are kneeling on the ground humbly like servants, welcoming the arrival of a person.
Because this person will decide their life or death!
Decide whether this Sky City can continue to exist!
"It's such a beautiful place. No wonder so many people regard this place as a unique miracle." Allen sighed slightly while stepping on the white marble paved on the ground.
Although he has seen many majestic scenery, buildings and cities, none of them can compare to Aelionteu.
Especially the huge tower that stands in the center reflects golden light under the sunlight. The clear water slowly flows down from the top along a specific trajectory, irrigating the flowers, plants and trees scattered around the city.
No doubt about it!
This is a city that can truly accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and its area is much more amazing than Old Bones's Great Tomb of Nazarick.
And from the various styles of buildings, decorations, animals and plants around it, it is easy to see that this Guild player has a large number of players and a wide range of hobbies.
Not only are various statues, reliefs, and murals with strange shapes everywhere, but even the gardens and lawns are taken care of by special NPCs. They look neat and tidy at a glance, which is definitely good news for patients with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Yes! It's indeed beautiful. Have you figured out how to deal with these guys and this Sky City?" Sakura gently fiddled with a small animal standing on a branch and trying to please herself.
It can be seen that she really likes the beautiful scenery and environment here.
Allen glanced at the uneasy non-human Guardians kneeling on the ground, touched his chin and thought for a while, then quickly smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, I really haven't thought about this. But it's just two choices."
"Oh? Which two?" Sakura asked with interest.
"First, kill all Guardians, take away all the magic props, and completely destroy Aelionteu. The advantage of this is that it is simple and crude, and will not leave any hidden dangers."
When saying this, Allen did not shy away from the NPCs created by players behind him at all.
Because at this moment, he is holding a sharp sword in his hand, and this sword is Guild weapon of Eight Greed Kings.
As long as you use a little force, whether it is these Guardians or Sky City, they will all disappear in an instant.
As for why this sword is in Platinum Dragon King's hand, we have to start with the captain Thirteen Heroes who was treated as a fool.
As we all know, Eight Greed Kings was born with seven males and one female.
And this woman happens to be a sibling relationship with the captain of Thirteen Heroes in the real world.
However, since the latter started playing just before the game was about to shut down the server, the level difference was quite far, and there was no way to join Guild, the top player in the server like Sky City.
But in the game, he once took Sky City to visit under the guidance of his sister, so when he traveled through time, he was transformed into the memory of Guardians.
It is precisely because of this that this guy was able to successfully borrow Guild weapon.
After all, with all Eight Greed Kings dead, in the eyes of Guardians, he is already equivalent to "Aelionteu's sole legal heir".
If you are willing to stay, it would not be a bad idea to be regarded as the new Supreme.
It's a pity that the captain of Thirteen Heroes is not only an idiot who was played by Platinum Dragon King, but also an out-and-out cheat.
He completely forgot what Guild weapon meant to these NPCs who relied on the Guild to exist again. After suffering a mental blow, he chose to escape everything through death.
In the end, Guild weapon fell into the hands of Platinum Dragon King and became the bargaining chip he used to blackmail Aelionteu Guardians.
"What about the other one?"
Destroying this place was obviously not what Sakura wanted, so she decisively ignored the first option.
And this reaction immediately made those nervous Guardians relax a little.
Through the monitoring and magic devices in Sky City, they have witnessed the entire process of the fall of those True Dragon Lords, so they know very well that the other party is absolutely capable of completely destroying Guild weapon in an instant.
Seeing the anticipation in the girl's eyes, Allen responded with a smile, "The second option is to pull the whole Aelionteu into another world, the world that only belongs to me."
"What about these Guardians?"
After the brief excitement, Sakura quickly discovered another problem.
Obviously, these artificially created NPCs will only obey the orders of the Guild players, and every one of them is extremely arrogant. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to make them obedient.
"It's very simple! Give each of them a chance to choose. Those who are willing to surrender to us can stay, and those who are not willing to leave can leave. If someone is unwilling to leave and wants to make small moves in secret, then clean them up once and for all in a way that cannot be resurrected. I will leave this matter to you to handle, okay?"
Allen is smiling but not smiling, which is a big test.
In other words, he was giving the girl an opportunity to practice handling complex situations.
"Leave it to me? Are you crazy? I have no experience in this area at all! Ever since I was a child, you haven't even allowed me to keep pets like cats and dogs, let alone manage a group of living people." Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, and her voice suddenly rose an octave.
"It is precisely because you have no experience that you have to learn. No one is born knowing everything. They learn lessons and summarize rules through a little exploration and trial. So don't be afraid of failure. A mere Aelionteu can't make any waves. Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
After that, Allen reached out and touched the girl's head like he did when he was a child, then turned around and opened the portal and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it! Another test? I hate being pushed away."
Sakura blushed and muttered in a low voice, and then came straight to the Guardianss who were kneeling on the ground. Opening Gate said bluntly, "I believe you have all heard what I just said. Now please make a choice! For those who want to leave, I only give you one piece of advice, that is, it is best not to provoke humans, otherwise I guarantee that Allen will be very happy to tear you into pieces."
"I have a question! The adult just mentioned another world, what kind of place is it?" The leader raised his head and raised the question he was most concerned about on behalf of all Guardians.
"You can understand it as a Game World like Yggdrasil. It's just that it's not as big as Yggdrasil's map." Sakura gave the answer without thinking.
"In other words, after Sky City is pulled in, we will live in it for the rest of our lives?" Guardians, another Elves woman with a proud figure, continued to ask.
"Not necessarily! It depends on your performance. Allen has the ability to travel between different worlds! If you perform well enough, I will plead with him and allow some Guardians to come out and act together to appreciate the culture, scenery and food of different worlds." Sakura calmly threw out the bait she had just prepared.
She knew that the NPCs in Aelionteu had been imprisoned in this Sky City for hundreds of years. Most of them were going crazy, and what they wanted most was to go out and take a look.
So traveling to other worlds to experience different customs and customs is simply an irresistible temptation for these guys.
"That's it!" Female Elves Guardians nodded thoughtfully, and was the first to make a clear statement. "I choose to stay! I am loyal to you and Lord Allen."
"What's your name?" Sakura asked pleasantly.
"Edna! Edna·Bevin! As you can see, I am a Elf Sword Dancer." Female elf quickly reported his name.
Different from the dark Elves twins of Nazarick, whether it is the silvery waterfall hair or the slightly fair skin, it proves that she is a pure Moon Elf.
Sakura nodded with satisfaction. "Very good! Edna Bevin, I now appoint you as the new manager of Aelionteu, responsible for managing all daily affairs of Sky City."
"Thank you for your trust! Don't worry, I won't let you down." Female elf took the initiative to bend down and bow deeply.
It is not difficult to see from her attitude that she really treats the girl in front of her as her own creator.
With the first person setting an example, the NPCs in the line soon stood up and swore allegiance one after another.
After all, for them, Guild is their home and lifelong belief. They simply cannot imagine how they will live without Sky City.
In the end, only three NPCs around level 60 chose to leave.
After sending them away, Sakura, led by Edna Bevin, entered the interior of Sky City, especially the treasure house to visit.
When she saw the mountains of gold coins, gemstones, and display racks filled with various weapons, equipment, and props in the warehouse, she finally realized why Eight Greed Kings was able to defeat Dragon Race and become the well-deserved overlord of the world.
This can no longer be described as ordinary wealth!
It is simply astonishingly rich!
There are more than fifteen pieces of World Item alone.
Among them, Five Elements Counter, who once permanently changed the entire world's magic system and made the Dragon Kings fall into disgrace, is placed in the most conspicuous place.
You don't need to ask to know that Eight Greed Kings somehow took back this powerful World Item.
In addition, those Dragon King corpses that had been killed were also resurrected and made into powerful undead creatures, which kept Guardians the treasures inside day and night.
"It's incredible! Edna, do you know why Eight Greed Kings suddenly became enemies and fought each other repeatedly?" Sakura picked up Five Elements Counter and asked without looking back.
"Because of one sentence, a very ancient prophecy." Edna replied in a tone without any emotion.
"Prophecy?" Sakura turned her head and showed a surprised expression.
Edna nodded seriously. "That's right!
It is said that the reason why players came here is because Dragon Emperor felt that the world was too chaotic and disorderly, and wanted to summon an Overlord to transform the entire world.
So a super origin magic that can span time and space was used.
The arrival of a group of players every hundred years is actually the process of selecting Overlord. The winner will have supreme power and become the king of the world.
When one group of players fails, another group of players will come again until someone succeeds.
But what he didn't expect was that in the end he shot himself in the foot, causing the entire Dragon Race to suffer unimaginable huge losses.
Later, after killing a large number of Dragon Race, the eight supremes of the Guild also learned this secret.
Everyone longs to become Overlord, so conflicts naturally arise.
In the end, they fight to be the only one.
At that time, even some Guardians began to follow their creators and join the ranks of Civil War.
But unfortunately, no one became Overlord.
When the last two supreme beings were left, those Dragon King took the opportunity to kill back, making all their ambitions and desires come to nothing. "
Speaking of this, female elf showed a look of sadness and helplessness on his face.
Although Eight Greed Kings does not have her creator, it is quite painful for any Guardians to watch a powerful Guild internal member kill each other and eventually go to destruction.
"Prophecy? Dragon Emperor? Prime Magic across time and space? The ceremony to select Overlord?"
Sakura narrowed her eyes and repeated these keywords, beginning to think about the hidden information.
Needless to say, it is easy to judge from the fact that the few remaining True Dragon Lords regard players as filthy to Dragon Emperor and maintain strong hostility towards them. The matter of game players traveling through time is absolutely inseparable from Dragon Emperor.
Secondly, what exactly does Overlord represent?
Dragon Emperor Why do you do such a thankless thing?
Just from the literal meaning, the English translation of Overlord means overlord.
If we trace it back to Root, it should refer to "lord of the manor", that is, the owner of the land and manor, which refers to the aristocratic lord class in the feudal era.
However, the famous conqueror William in history later acquired large tracts of land from other people through a series of wars, so the word Overlord has the meaning of conquest and war.
"Does Overlord really mean a conqueror who can accomplish the great task of unifying the world? "The girl's eyes flashed with strong curiosity.
She really couldn't figure out why Dragon Emperor, whose life and death were unknown and whose whereabouts were unknown, would spend so much effort to do such a thing.
And according to the survey, almost every group of players who have traveled through time have a common characteristic, that is, they hold the powerful World Item in the Yggdrasil game.
