Game of the World Tree

Maple Moon is led freely, the capital Ze Luolan.

The parliament building in Liberty Square is brightly lit and full of seats.

On the square outside the building, a huge crystal screen projected the scene of the venue, and the square was crowded with people.

All the leaders cast their eyes on the solemn high platform in the parliament building.

Today is a special day.

Known as the light of life, Fengyue Freedom Leader, ushered in the 80th anniversary of independence.

At the same time, this is also the day when the results of the general election of Fengyue Freedom Leader's consul officially come out.

In the venue, representatives from all walks of life gathered together, dressed modestly.

Their eyes focused on the elegant and beautiful figure on the podium, with a respectful look.

Sophia von Wells.

She is the founder of Fengyue Freedom, a great leader of freedom, and the saint of life in the human world.

At the same time, she is also the person most admired by all the young men and women of Fengyue Freedom.

Today she looks more beautiful and noble wearing a white dress.

I saw her holding a magic microphone in one hand and a golden scroll in the other, smiling, and her elegant and beautiful voice resounded over the venue:

"Next... I announce--"

"According to the final voting result, Mr. Blake Schwartz, the municipal officer from Als City, was elected as the 21st Fengyueling Chief Executive with 77.5% of the votes!"

"Let us congratulate Mr. Blake Schwartz with warm applause!"

As soon as the voice fell, deafening applause resounded throughout the hall, resounded across the square, and resounded above the sky of Fengyue's free collar.

Participants stood up and congratulated Blake Schwartz, who was sitting at the forefront of the stage.

Blake Schwartz was a middle-aged gentleman who looked about fifty years old, with white hair on the temples.

He was excited, and his eyes were still in a daze.

Sophia cast his eyes on him.

She gave a mocking smile and said:

"It seems... our new consul does not seem to be ready yet."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Sophia stretched out her hand and pressed it down slightly, and the parliament hall instantly became quiet.

She continued to pick up the microphone and smiled and said:

"Mr. Blake Schwartz has thirty years of ruling experience. He has served as the governor of Brookwood City, Limestone Harbor, Als City and other regions, and his political achievements are remarkable."

"Under his management, Ximu Town was officially ascended, the population of Liyan Port tripled, and Als City developed into the most shining star city in the entire region..."

"I believe that under his leadership, our Fengyue Freelance will also create even more brilliant achievements!"

After the speech, warm applause sounded again in the venue.

Sophia turned his gaze to Blake Schwartz again, showing an encouraging smile:

"Mr. Black Schwartz, please come to the podium."

All eyes were on Blake Schwartz.

The middle-aged gentleman has recovered his calm at this moment, but the slightly moist corners of his eyes indicate that his heart may not be as calm as it seems.

He took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, dignified his clothes, and then walked towards the high platform with obvious nervousness.

Halfway through, even almost fell, causing a burst of laughter again.

"Slow down... don't get excited..."

Sophia said with a smile.

Blake was embarrassed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

After he stood up, a guard in uniform came to Aunt Sophie's body and offered a tray with both hands.

On the tray, a badge with a golden scepter logo lay quietly on the red base.

That is the sign and symbol of the chief consul of Fengyue Liberty.

I saw Sophia lightly picking up the badge, standing on tiptoe to put it on Blake himself.

While wearing it, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I still remember the first time I saw you, you were a child crying in the corner of the orphanage, introverted and timid."

"Unexpectedly, more than forty years have passed, and the once adolescent has finally grown into a leader who can lead the entire Fengyue free leader to move forward."

"Thank you for this! Lord Sophia! Without your inspection, without your order to allow everyone in the orphanage to receive education for free, I would not have achieved what I am today!"

Black became excited again and said respectfully.

"No, this is your own effort, I just provided an environment and opportunity."

Sophia shook her head and smiled.

After speaking, she stretched out her hand and handed the microphone to the other party:

"The rest of the time will be up to you. I think...you must have a lot to say and want to tell everyone."

"Thank you...thank you..."

Blake said respectfully and excitedly.

"Come on, my younger generation, the future Fengyue free leader, leave it to you."

Sophia patted him on the shoulder.

Handing over the microphone and badge, she slowly walked off the podium.

On the podium, Black took a deep breath, calmed down, and started his own speech:

"Today, I am honored to be successfully elected as the 21st Chief Executive Officer of Fengyue Liberty Leader..."

Sophia glanced at the rostrum again, smiled slightly, and then quietly left the venue.

...

Outside the venue, the temperature was a bit cooler than indoors.

The weather today is very clear, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the blue sky is as if washed, deep and charming.

In the square outside the building, people who couldn't see the end also gathered. They cheered and held up the sign with Black's name in excitement.

Seeing this scene, Sophia pondered for a moment, changed direction, and walked to the remote street on one side.

It is very easy for a golden professional to deliberately avoid the sight of mortals.

Sophia crossed the street without disturbing anyone.

Over the past few decades, Fengyue Freedom has developed more and more prosperous, and the capital Zeroland has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The buildings are getting taller every year, the popularity of magic is getting wider every year, and the streets of the city are getting cleaner every year.

Looking at the rapidly changing territory, Sophia's eyes were full of emotion.

In 80 years, it seems that the days of the revolution are still yesterday.

"Are you not going to participate in the rest of the celebration?"

An old voice sounded behind her.

Sophia didn't seem surprised, or that... she had already sensed the appearance of the other party.

She turned her head slightly, looked behind her, and smiled:

"Fin, aren't you the same?"

Behind her was an old priest with silver hair.

If the life priests of Fengyue Freedom were here, they would definitely salute him respectfully, because he was no one else, but the chief priest of the Life Church in Fengyue Diocese.

After hearing Sophia's words, the old priest sighed softly:

"When people get old, they will get tired after a long meeting, so I want to come out and go around."

"to be honest."

Sophia smiled nonchalantly.

Seeing her penetrating eyes, the old priest looked helpless:

"Okay, I saw you come out, so I just follow along and have a look."

"Me? My mission has been completed. Naturally, I don't need to stay there anymore. I should give the stage to the newcomer."

Sophia raised her eyebrows.

"Are you really not thinking about continuing to be re-elected..."

The old priest looked helpless.

"Give young people a chance."

Sophia shook her head.

The old priest was silent for a moment and said:

"But you have to know that no one has higher prestige than you. If you participate in the election, you will surely be re-elected smoothly, and... you know you know that everyone actually welcomes your continued re-election."

"But I have been re-elected for too long..."

Sophia shook her head again.

She looked towards the sky, not knowing where the gaze had gone, she slowly retracted her gaze after a long time, and sighed:

"When I first became a consul, my plan was to work for only eight years, and when everything was on the right track, I would retire..."

"As a result, eight years later, eight years later, eight years later..."

"Now, it's been a full eighty years..."

Speaking, Sophia smiled bitterly:

"It's too long, this time is too long, even the liberators who fought with me have already passed away..."

"Now, only you and me are left."

After listening to Sophia's words, the old man's expression also brought a trace of emotion:

"Yeah... Eighty years have passed."

"I still remember the time when cultists ravaged the territory, I was still a militia forced by the fallen aristocracy, and I didn't know where the future was."

"At that time, I am afraid I would never have thought that I would become the principal of a diocese..."

"If it weren't for the power of faith that made me a high-level transcendent, I am afraid that, like those comrades in arms, I would have turned to dirt decades ago."

As he said, his eyes fell on Sophia, and he sighed:

"But... Eighty years have passed, and you don't seem to have changed much... You are still so young, so beautiful, so noble..."

"Of course, I am a half-elf. Although my life span is not comparable to that of a real elves, it is more than ten times that of ordinary humans."

Sophia sighed.

"I'm getting old... Recently, I always feel that I don't see it as clearly as I used to see. It's probably a bit dazzling."

The old man smiled.

After hearing what he said, Sophia raised her head, her gaze looking at him a little complicated.

Her gaze swept across the old man's wrinkled face and nodded:

"It's old, now you look like an old willow bark."

The old priest stagnated slightly, and said helplessly:

"Master Sophia, you still suffer so much..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Sophia laughed.

After a while, the two of them calmed down, and Sophia looked at the crowded streets in the distance, gradually lost her mind.

After a long time, the old priest couldn't help but speak again:

"Are you... are you planning to leave Fengyue and receive it freely?"

Sophia was silent.

"Where are you going? You are a beacon in people's hearts. If you are gone, many people will be sad."

The old priest continued to ask.

Sophia shook her head:

"But even if it's me... it's impossible to guard the territory forever."

"My task has been completed, and the rest should be handed over to the newcomers and let go... so that they can grow better."

"As for me……"

Sophia paused and shook her head:

"I don't know yet, maybe... I'll travel the world."

After speaking, she did not continue.

However, his eyes were quietly looking at the distant streets.

However, although she was looking at the street, her far-reaching gaze seemed to be looking farther.

"Are you... waiting for someone?"

The old priest asked suddenly.

"Why do you say that?"

"I have heard some rumors...why have you never been married..."

"It's all rumors, it's not true."

"But I know that you have been communicating with the Fairy Forest before, and you will receive and send letters every month, and you will smile quietly at the gifts from the Amway Chamber of Commerce on your birthday."

"You watch me?"

"No...Master Sophia, it's no secret at the top. The only thing that didn't realize that everyone knew it was you."

Sophia:...

"However, if I remember correctly, you haven't received a new letter for a long time. The person you are waiting for... will it really come again?"

The old priest asked.

After hearing what he said, Sophia's eyes were a little confused.

"I... I don't know."

"However, I want to wait..."

Looking at her blurred vision, the old priest sighed:

"I see……"

After speaking, he glanced at the sky and said:

"It's getting late, I should go back to the meeting place."

"You look tired, don't stay outside for too long."

After speaking, the old priest left.

Sophia was left alone, standing alone on the street, staring at the street scene in the distance in a daze.

The conference ended soon after.

The sun was gradually sinking, and the crowd gathered in the square gradually dispersed...

Soon, evening...fallen.

Sophia stood alone in the street, her shadow drawn very long in the dim light...

At this moment, she did not look like an outgoing consul, more like a lonely girl.

She stood for a long time...

However, he did not see the figure he wanted to see.

Gradually, the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.

Sophia's expression also faded into the darkness.

She sighed, turned and left.

However, as she stepped forward, there was a cynical voice behind her:

"Hi! This beautiful lady! I heard that you seem to have just quit your job. I just happen to have an excellent job here that needs someone to do it. I wonder if you have the will?"

Sophia trembled slightly when she heard the familiar voice.

She stopped, did not look back, but asked with some trembling:

"What job?"

"Ahem, I opened a small chamber of commerce, and now I lack a manager. I heard that you are very good at management. I wonder if you are interested?"

The cynical voice asked.

Sophia smiled, but there seemed to be something crystal-clear in front of her eyes:

"No... I don't want it. I'm tired and don't want to take care of things anymore."

"That's a coincidence! The manager I want doesn't actually have to take care of too many things. In fact, there is only one person she wants to take care of."

The voice continued.

"What is she going to care about?"

Sophia asked back.

"Follow me."

The other party said frivolously.

Sophia trembled, turned her head slowly, and saw the familiar figure, looking at her with a smile.

"Sorry...I'm late. I've been to a very far place in the past few years. After knowing the news of your return, I finally rushed over."

The man scratched his head with an apologetic expression.

Hearing this, Sophia curled her lips:

"What is my relationship with you? What are you doing in your rush to come back?"

"What's the relationship? What's the relationship? Does anyone in this world know our relationship?"

"At least...I don't know."

"No! My princess! How about so many years of friendship?!"

"You haven't contacted me for years."

"This...I'm really sorry...I really went to a place far away, farther than all the previous planes. I can talk to you later. It was a more exciting adventure..."

"Who wants to listen to your adventures?"

"Ah this...it's not...you you you...I...I..."

Seeing the other party's awkward appearance~www.readwn.com~ Sophia chuckled:

"Well, I won't tease you anymore."

As she said, her eyes softened instantly:

"Can you... repeat what I said before?"

The figure on the opposite side was stunned, and quickly reacted, making a gentleman's courtesy and reaching out to Sophia:

"My beautiful princess, my chamber of commerce lacks a manager. Are you interested in going with me?"

"certainly……"

Sophia's tears were shining, but she passed her hand with a happy smile on her face:

"Mr. Demacia."
