Chapter 84: Chapter 84: The History of the Elf Priest

“I really like Elves, but I don’t know how to be a Mage, let alone an Archer. I’m so torn about whether to change my race!”

A female Priest player was confiding in her friend, looking conflicted.

The friend next to her, holding a shield and a longsword, also expressed helplessness:

“Everything about this game is great, except for the limited profession options.”

“I guess a lot of people will change their race to Elf this time. I’m going to pass, as I really can’t handle those two professions. I want to wait and see what other races will be available later.”

The female Priest sighed at this,

“But I really love Elves, boohoo~”

…

With the announcement of the Elf Race’s return, similar sentiments spread to every corner of the game.

The emergence of the Elf Race sparked a wave of enthusiastic discussion throughout the game.

This craze even overshadowed the massive impact of the demon hunting events.

After all, the demon hunting events only affected that small group at the top of the game’s pyramid.

But the arrival of the Elf Race impacted nearly everyone in the game.

Aside from the players who initially chose to change to the Werewolf Race, every player in the game had the chance to become an Elf.

Of course, for players who weren’t Mages or Archers but loved Elves, it was definitely a tough decision.

But for players who were Mages and loved Archers, it was undoubtedly a huge benefit.

Unlike the change to the Werewolf Race, where only the Warrior profession was available and the fearsome image of Werewolves wasn’t popular with the public.

Because when players chose to change to the Werewolf Race, their appearance would truly change to that of a standing Werewolf.

Even though the Werewolf Race had powerful racial combat talent, it still wasn’t liked by the public.

This was completely different from the Elf Race.

Whether it was the Elves’ aesthetically pleasing appearance to humans;

Or the powerful racial talents of the Elf Race, all of it excited the human nerves.

Especially for those who loved beauty, the allure was absolutely deadly.

And who could resist when the Elf King was also a “melon-eating onlooker”?

As Lin Yi clicked the “Confirm” button in the Elf Holy Hall, a message suddenly appeared, throwing another depth charge into the already boiling game world.

[Elf Announcement]: “During a revelation, the Elf King accidentally uncovered ancient legacies, activating the Elf Race’s special profession: Elf Priest.”

Elf Priest!

A brand-new profession appeared without any warning.

Regardless of how the players in the game went crazy over this new profession, on Lin Yi’s side,

as the system announcement came out, Lin Yi, standing in the Holy Hall, could hear the cheers of jubilation from the Elves outside.

As Lin Yi stepped out of the Holy Hall, Gamplov couldn’t contain his excitement as he approached,

“Thank you, my King. You’ve saved our Elf Race!”

Lin Yi supported the elderly Elf Elder, looking at the Elves going mad beside the Holy Tree, feeling their heartfelt excitement and joy.

Lin Yi didn’t expect that merely activating a new profession would bring them such a huge surprise.

Standing beside Lin Yi, Gamplov introduced:

“The Elf Priest is a special profession passed down from ancient times in the Elf Race, possessing supreme power to communicate with the heavens and earth.”

“On the anti-demon battlefield, the presence of one Elf Priest could be worth thousands of troops.”

“Their presence could vastly enhance the strength of our allied forces and weaken the enemy to the maximum extent.”

“Throughout the entire anti-demon war, the Hundred Races’ ability to crush the Demon Race army was significantly due to their presence.”

“However, it was precisely because of this that the Demon Race harbored deep animosity toward us, even sacrificing a Fear Demon King to eradicate the Elf Priests at all costs.”

“After the end of the anti-demon war, the severely damaged Holy Tree ceased to birth Elf Priests.”

Saying this, a smile suddenly appeared on Gamplov’s face as he continued,

“I originally thought the Elf Priests would become a thing of history for our Elf Race, disappearing just like the Phantom Elves in the river of history.”

“But to think that in my lifetime, I could see this profession come back to life again.”

After saying this, Gamplov turned and gave Lin Yi the highest salute of the Elf Race, solemnly and reverently saying:

“On behalf of the Elf Race, thank you, my King.”

After hearing about the history of the Elf Priests, Lin Yi felt surprised by the profession’s strength and was shocked by the huge sacrifice the Elf Race made to resist the Demon Race.

Just moments ago, Lin Yi was still heartbroken over the fifty thousand gold coins, but now suddenly realized it was all worth it.

Gold coins could be earned again, but some things couldn’t be measured by the number of gold coins.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi calmly accepted Gamplov’s bow, saying:

“As the Elf King, isn’t this what I should do?”

As Lin Yi helped the elder before him stand, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that unknowingly, another weighty responsibility had added to his shoulders.

If everything in front of him was just a set of data, Lin Yi wouldn’t think much of it.

But knowing that, in another world, they were beings of flesh and blood, with emotions, an inexplicable sense of belonging allowed Lin Yi to empathize with the joy from their hearts.

Looking at Aifula enveloped by holy power on the Holy Tree, Lin Yi was also eagerly anticipating her return.

Noticing Lin Yi’s gaze, Gamplov said:

“I can sense this Elemental Spirit is undergoing an important transformation, and soon she will surely bring unexpected surprises to the King.”

Lin Yi just said calmly:

“I just want her to be safe and sound.”

…

“Anliya, what are you looking at?”

“Ah, nothing, nothing.”

The Elf Saina glanced towards the direction of the Holy Hall, teasingly looking at the blushing Elf Saintess Anliya,

“Do you like our new King?”

Anliya’s exquisite face immediately flushed as she denied flatly:

“No, he’s our King! How could I possibly like him?”

Just as Saina was about to tease Anliya further, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them,

“Anliya, what are you doing?”

Saina, seeing the newcomer, quickly saluted, saying:

“Holy Son Your Highness.”

At this time, the cold-looking, robe-clad male Elf was the Holy Son of the Elf Race: Alvis.

And seeing this person, Anliya apparently wasn’t pleased, pulling Saina away.

In the process, she didn’t even glance at Alvis, known as the Elf Race’s top genius.

Watching Anliya lead Saina away, nobody noticed a hint of red flash in Alvis’ eyes.

As Anliya’s figure disappeared from view, Alvis cast his gaze towards the figure standing in front of the Holy Hall from afar.

Alvis Lv67

Elf Race Holy Son

“Elf Race Holy Son?”

Sensing something, Lin Yi looked towards the cold, proud Alvis standing among the group of Elves.

Their eyes met, and an indescribable emotion surged within Lin Yi’s heart.

“He’s the greatest genius our Elf Race has seen in nearly a century, reaching the Sixth Transformation level at just three hundred years old. I’d imagine it won’t be long before he catches up with me.”

Seeing Alvis disappear into the forest, Lin Yi initially didn’t pay much mind to the aloof Holy Son who always felt solitary.

But the fleeting unease that just passed made Lin Yi take notice.

Due to the demon hunting events, like most people, Lin Yi had been playing since yesterday noon until now.

Looking at the limited game time, Lin Yi also planned to log off and get a good night’s sleep.

Though the game helmet could partially replace human sleep, it was still not as comprehensive as a game pod in function.

After over 20 hours of gaming, even Lin Yi felt a bit fatigued.

Looking at the relatively tranquil Elf Forest in front of him, likely after tomorrow, it would gradually become a major player gathering spot in the game.

After all, there were just so many people who loved Elves…

……
