Chapter 1506: Chapter 940: Theresa’s Dream (Part 5)_2
"Whoa! It’s Boss Feng!"
"Alive! It’s really them!"
Seeing their almost worshipful gazes and feeling the inexplicable flattery in their tone, Theresa couldn’t help but turn to look at Feng. She became increasingly curious about Feng’s status within the Elf Clan and Life Church.
It’s important to know that the status of an Elf Chosen One is quite special.
As far as Theresa knew, even high-ranking Life Priests showed them great respect.
This isn’t about the rank of the Chosen One, but rather their identity as the Goddess’ Favored.
At the same time, during her travels in earlier years, Theresa specifically observed before leaving Maniya.
The Elf Chosen Ones she saw were inherently quite proud. They seemed to look at each other as if no one was superior.
Yet, this Elf Chosen One before her, their admiration and flattery towards Feng were almost overflowing.
Is Lady Feng’s status among the Chosen Ones also very high?
Theresa couldn’t help but think.
The Elven Warrior’s gaze was full of surprise and delight:
"Sister Feng, have you come to Oles Fortress?"
Feng smiled and nodded:
"Just passing by."
After saying this, she looked up and down at the Elf Warrior and said with a smile:
"Not bad, you’ve reached Silver Upper in less than half a year. Seems like you’ll soon be able to aspire for Gold."
"Hahaha! It’s all thanks to Sister Feng’s guidance back then. As for Gold... we’ll have to see if I can get the promotion slot!"
The Elf Warrior scratched his head and said with a laugh.
After that, he looked at the girl beside them and asked with some confusion:
"Who might this be...?"
"A friend of an old acquaintance, I’m planning to take her to Maniya."
Feng replied.
After speaking, she glanced at the girl while Theresa collected her thoughts and performed a standard noble greeting:
"Hello, I’m Theresa."
"Um... hi, I’m called ’Is Tofu Pudding Sweet or Salty,’ uh... a bit long, so you can also call me ’Tofu Pudding.’"
The Elf Warrior scratched his head and said.
Doufunao...
Theresa quietly memorized it and nodded.
"Sister Feng, tonight the administrator of Oles is hosting a celebration banquet for us. Would you like to come along?"
The Elf Warrior again smiled at Feng.
Feng glanced at Theresa’s slightly fatigued expression, shook her head, and said:
"No, we’ve been flying all day. We have to travel tomorrow, so we won’t join in today. We’ll meet up next time."
"That’s really unfortunate... but riding a dragon all day, one does need to rest."
The Elf Warrior sighed and said.
Then, he asked:
"By the way, Sister Feng, have you decided where to stay tonight?"
"Amway Hotel."
Feng replied.
The Elf Warrior was delighted:
"That’s awesome! We’re headed the same way, let’s all go together!"
Feng nodded, smiling in agreement.
Then, the group continued traveling towards the castle.
Along the way, the Elf Warrior kept conversing with the two, and Feng occasionally responded with a smile.
However, most of their conversation revolved around the Chosen Ones, and Theresa occasionally heard terms like "official event" "forum" "new map," although she didn’t understand, they seemed very impressive.
At the same time, the Chosen Ones didn’t neglect Theresa; during exchanges with Feng, they would occasionally speak to her as well.
"What? So Miss Theresa always resided over in East Seges?"
"Hmm... I was originally from Mania, but a few years ago I traveled to settle in East Seges."
"I see... no wonder you seem quite unfamiliar with this place. East Seges is still relatively enclosed. Mania has changed a lot in these past few years! You must take a look around."
The Elf Chosen One said with a smile.
"Hmm... definitely."
Theresa replied.
The group conversed as they walked and soon arrived at the castle gates.
Olesburg, though called a castle, is more like a fortress made from giant stones.
As they entered the city, civilians on both sides stopped and respectfully removed their hats to greet Theresa and others.
Feeling the genuine reverence from the people, Theresa couldn’t help but glance at Feng and the others, a complex emotion rising in her heart.
She had also been worshiped by the public before.
However, at that time, she did not see such heartfelt admiration and respect in people’s eyes.
Simultaneously, a feeling of indescribable inferiority also surged within her...
Though she had heard about the rising prestige of the Life Church and Elves on the continent during her retreat in East Seges, at this moment, she still felt a sense of shock.
Moreover, she grew even more curious.
In the years she had been away... what exactly had happened in Mania?
Why did the strategically important Olesburg transform into a tourist attraction?
The girl couldn’t help but ask the Chosen Ones about her doubts, and they did not hold back:
"Because the war has ended, there is naturally no need for garrisons in the fortress. This place is right at the border between East Seges and Mania, the scenery is magnificent and very suitable for tourism, so... it became a tourist attraction two years ago."
Theresa was taken aback, then asked curiously:
"But it’s still a border, right? East Seges and Mania are two separate countries. Even with the shared belief in Life Church, leaving it undefended seems too bold."
The Elf Chosen Ones smiled and continued to explain:
"With the establishment of the East Seges Alliance, countries in the Segis World have signed a peace treaty under the witness of the Life Church, agreeing not to start wars in Segis World."
"Moreover, the Life Church supervises this matter, and no one dares to violate it, so... the fortresses along the borders are naturally unnecessary."
"Besides, the essence of war is nothing but the competition for resources. Although Segis World is rich in resources, the total amount is limited, and there’s no point in fighting over it. It’s better to set our sights on more vast realms and explore and develop other planes."
"Now, the energies of various nations are focused on cooperating with us Elves to assist the Church in purifying and consolidating other planes, so there’s no interest in internal conflicts in this world."
After listening to them, Theresa appeared thoughtful.
About the Life Church’s plane exploration activities, she had heard a little before, though it was said to be participated by the Elf Chosen Ones only.
However, it seems now that this activity is no longer limited to the Chosen Ones.
Even though she understood why the former Olesburg Fortress turned into a tourist attraction, there was one more detail that really caught her attention, which was the apparent multitude of visitors here.
Not only that, these tourists mostly didn’t seem to be the honor nobility and the wealthy post-revolution, but rather ordinary citizens. Yet... compared to the civilians in the girl’s memory, their attire, their spirit, seemed much better.
"Where did all these tourists come from?"
Theresa couldn’t help but ask.
"Most of them should be residents of nearby cities, but there are also many tourists from afar. With our help, the main cities on the continent have now built circulatory Magic Energy Transmission Arrays, making transportation much more convenient than before."
Feng said.
"Circulatory Magic Energy Transmission Arrays?"
Theresa was slightly curious.
"The array is the new Magic Array improved by the Magic Technology Research Center, using Magic Electric Stones as its base, capable of autonomously replenishing magic power, significantly reducing the magic power consumption of Teleportation Arrays. Now, the entire Maniya Republic is being used as a pilot site to start building a covering teleportation network."
The Elf Warrior "Doufunao" said with a smile.
"Magic Technology Research Center? Covering Teleportation Network?"
Theresa grew even more curious.
"Hmm... the Magic Technology Research Center is our Elf Forest’s research institution, and as for the covering teleportation network, it refers to a transport net built by using Teleportation Arrays as nodes, allowing free jumping between various nodes, significantly saving travel time."
"For example, in our Elf Forest, we successfully experimented with it three years ago. Now our entire Elf Forest has achieved full coverage of the teleportation net. From Rivendell in the southernmost part of Elf Forest to the northern Crystal City, it takes only seconds with the Teleportation Array. Before, you would have to jump several teleportation arrays, some with long distances in between, requiring travel, so tedious."
"Oh, and now from Oles Fortress to Maniya City, you can also directly use the Teleportation Array."
The Elf Warrior said with a smile.
Theresa listened in a daze, suddenly feeling that in her years of recluse, she seemed to have missed a lot of things happening on the continent... ——————
Oops, turns out the name was wrong all along, Theresa was written as Maria, now changed back.
