Game of the World Tree: Extra Chapter 2 Sophia

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!

Maple Moon Free Territory, the capital is Zeroland.

The Parliament Building in Freedom Square was brightly lit and packed with seats.

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

All the citizens turned their attention to the solemn high platform in the parliament building.

Today is a special day.

The Maple Moon Free Territory, known as the light of life, celebrates its 80th anniversary of independence.

At the same time, this is also the day when the official results of the Maple Moon Free Territory's consul election will be announced.

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

Their eyes were focused on the elegant and beautiful figure on the rostrum, with expressions of respect.

Sophia von Wells.

She is the founder of the Maple Moon Free Territory, a great leader of freedom, and the saint of life in the human world.

At the same time, she is also the most admired person by all the young men and women in the Maple Moon Free Territory.

Today, she is wearing a white dress, looking even more beautiful and noble.

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

"Now I announce——"

"According to the final voting results, Mr. Blake Schwartz, the city official from Ors City, was elected as the 21st Chief Consul of Maple Moon Territory with 77.5% of the vote!"

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

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening applause resounded through the hall, through the square, and through the sky of Maple Moon Free Territory.

The participating representatives stood up one after another to congratulate Blake Schwartz, who was sitting at the front of the audience.

Blake Schwartz is a middle-aged gentleman who looks about fifty years old, with slightly white hair at the temples.

He looked excited, with a hint of trance in his eyes.

Sofia turned her attention to him.

She showed a teasing smile and said:

"It seems our new Archon is not ready yet."

"Hahahaha"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Sofia stretched out her hand and pressed it down slightly, and the parliament hall fell silent instantly.

She continued to pick up the phone and said with a smile:

"Mr. Blake Schwartz has thirty years of experience in governing. He has served as governor of many areas such as Ximu City, Gray Rock Port, and Ors City, and has achieved outstanding achievements."

"Under his management, Ximu Town was officially promoted to a city, the population of Limestone Port tripled, and Ors City developed into the brightest new star city in the entire territory."

"I believe that under his leadership, our Maple Moon Free Leaders will also create more brilliant achievements!"

After speaking, warm applause rang out in the venue again.

Sofia once again set her sights on Blake Schwartz, showing an encouraging smile:

"Mr. Blake Schwartz, please come up to the podium."

All eyes are on Blake Schwartz.

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

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

Midway, I even almost fell down, which caused a burst of laughter again.

"Slow down and don't get excited"

Sofia said with a smile.

Blake was embarrassed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

After he stood up, a uniformed guard came to Aunt Sophie and presented a tray with both hands.

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

That is the symbol and symbol of the Chief Consul of the Maple Moon Free Territory.

Sofia gently picked up the badge, stood up on tiptoes and put it on for Blake herself.

While wearing it, she couldn’t help but sigh:

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

“Unexpectedly, more than forty years have passed, and the young boy he once was has finally grown into a leader who can lead the entire Maple Moon Free Territory to move forward.”

"This is all thanks to you! Lady Sophia! Without your inspection, without your order to allow everyone in the orphanage to receive free education, I would not be where I am today!"

Blake became excited again and said respectfully.

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

Sofia 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 left to you. I think you must have a lot to say to everyone."

"Thank you thank you"

Blake said respectfully and excitedly.

"Come on, my junior, the future of Maple Moon's freedom will be left to you."

Sofia patted his shoulder.

After handing over the microphone and badge, she slowly walked down the podium.

On the rostrum, Black took a deep breath, calmed down, and began his speech:

"Today, I am honored to be successfully elected as the 21st Chief Consul of the Maple Moon Free Territory"

Sofia glanced at the podium again, smiled slightly, and then quietly left the venue.

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

The weather today is very sunny, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the blue sky seems to have been washed, deep and charming.

On the square outside the building, there were also people gathering as far as the eye could see. They cheered, held up signs with Black's name on them, and looked excited.

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

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

Sofia walked across the street without alerting anyone.

Decades have passed, Maple Moon Free Territory has developed more and more prosperously, 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 filled with emotion.

Eighty years have passed, and in the blink of an eye, it seems that the days of revolution were still yesterday.

"Aren't you going to continue participating in the rest of the celebration?"

An old voice sounded behind her.

Sofia didn't seem surprised, or she had already sensed the other party's appearance.

I saw her turning her head slightly, looking behind her, and said with a smile:

"Finn, aren't you the same?"

Behind her is an old priest with silver hair.

If the life priests of Maple Moon Free Territory were here, they would definitely salute him respectfully, because he is none other than the chief priest of the Life Church in Maple Moon Diocese.

After listening to Sophia’s words, the old priest sighed:

"As people get older, they will get tired after meetings for a long time, so they want to go out and walk around."

"Tell the truth."

Sofia said with a half-smile.

Looking at her penetrating gaze, the old priest looked helpless:

"Okay, I saw you coming out, so I followed you and took a look."

"Me? My mission has been completed, so naturally I don't need to stay there anymore. The stage should be handed over to the newcomers."

Sophia raised an eyebrow.

"Are you really not considering re-election?"

The old priest looked helpless.

"You have to 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 a higher reputation than you. If you participate in the election, you will be successfully re-elected. And you clearly know that everyone actually welcomes your re-election."

"But I've been reelected for too long"

Sophia shook her head again.

She looked at the sky, her eyes wandering to nowhere. After a long time, she slowly looked back and sighed:

"When I first became consul, my plan was to stay for only eight years and then retire after everything was on track"

"As a result, eight years after another eight years, eight years after another eight years"

"Now, it has been eighty years"

As she spoke, Sophia smiled bitterly:

“It’s been too long, it’s been too long, even the liberators who fought with me have already passed away”

"Now, it's just you and me."

After listening to Sophia’s words, the old man’s expression also showed a hint of emotion:

"Yes, eighty years have passed."

"I still remember the time when the cultists were ravaging the territory. I was still a militiaman who was forcibly recruited by the fallen nobles. I had no idea where the future would be."

"At that time, I probably would never have thought that I would become the head of a diocese"

"If it hadn't been for the power of faith that made me a high-level transcendent, I'm afraid I, like those comrades, would have turned into clay decades ago."

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

"But eighty years have passed, and you still look so young, so beautiful, and so noble"

"Of course, I am a half-elf. Although my lifespan is not as long as that of a real elf, it is still more than ten times that of an ordinary human being."

Sophia sighed.

"I'm getting older and I feel like I can't see as clearly as before. I guess I'm a bit dazzled."

The old man smiled.

After listening to his words, Sophia raised her head and looked at him with a somewhat complicated look.

Her eyes swept over the old man's wrinkled face and nodded:

"You are old. Now you look like an old piece of willow bark."

The old priest hesitated slightly and said helplessly:

"Lady Sophia, you are still so damaging"

"Hahahaha"

Sofia laughed.

After a while, the two of them became quiet. Sophia looked at the crowded streets in the distance and gradually fell into a trance.

After a long time, the old priest could not help but speak again:

"Are you planning to leave Maple Moon Free Territory?"

Sophia was silent.

"Where are you going? You are a beacon in people's hearts. If you are no longer there, I'm afraid many people will be sad."

The old priest continued to ask.

Sofia shook her head:

"But even I can't guard the territory forever."

"My task has been completed, and the rest should be handed over to the newcomers. Only by letting them go can they grow better."

"As for me"

Sofia paused and shook her head:

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

After saying that, she stopped continuing.

However, his eyes were quietly looking at the street in the distance.

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

"Are you waiting for someone?"

The old priest suddenly asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"I've heard some rumors about why you never get married"

"They are just rumors, not true."

"But I know that you have been communicating with the Elf Forest before. You receive and send letters every month. On your birthday, you still smile quietly at the gifts sent by the Amway Chamber of Commerce. ."

"Are you spying on me?"

"No, Lady Sophia, this is no longer a secret among the top management. The only one who didn't realize that everyone knew about it is you."

Sophia:

"However, if I remember correctly, you have not received a new letter for a long time. Will the person you are waiting for really come again?"

The old priest asked.

After hearing his words, Sophia's eyes were a little confused.

"I I don't know."

"However, I want to wait"

Looking at her somewhat blurred vision, the old priest sighed:

"I understand"

After speaking, he glanced at the sky and said:

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

"You look a little tired, so don't stay out for too long."

After saying that, the old priest left.

Sofia was left alone, standing alone on the street, looking at the street scene in the distance in a daze.

The conference ended shortly after.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the crowd gathered in the square gradually disperses

Soon, dusk fell.

Sofia stood alone on the street, her shadow stretched very long in the dim light

At this moment, she looked less like a retired consul and more like a lonely girl.

She stood there for a long time

However, I didn’t see the figure I wanted to see.

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

Sophia's expression also faded into the darkness.

She let out a long sigh, turned and left.

However, just as she took steps forward, a somewhat cynical voice came from behind her:

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

Hearing that familiar voice, Sophia trembled slightly.

She stopped, did not look back, but asked tremblingly:

"What job?"

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

The cynical voice asked.

Sofia smiled, but something crystal clear seemed to be spinning in front of her eyes:

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

"What a coincidence! The manager I want doesn't actually have to take care of too many things. There is actually only one person she wants to take care of."

The voice continued.

"What does she want to care about?"

Sofia asked rhetorically.

"Leave me alone."

The other party said frivolously.

Sofia trembled and slowly turned around, seeing the familiar figure looking at her with a smile.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I've been to a far, far away place in the past few years. After learning about your retreat, I managed to get here with great difficulty."

The man scratched his head and said apologetically.

Hearing this, Sophia curled her lips:

"What does my relationship have to do with you? Why did you come back?"

"What relationship? What relationship do you mean? Is there anyone in this world who doesn't know about our relationship?"

"At least I don't know."

"No way! My princess! Where is the friendship for so many years?!"

"You haven't contacted me in several years."

"I'm really sorry about this. I really went to a very far place, farther than all previous planes. I can tell you about it in detail later. It was a more exciting adventure."

"Who wants to listen to your adventures?"

"Ah, this is not you, you, me and me"

Seeing the other party's awkward look, Sophia burst into laughter:

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

As she spoke, her eyes instantly softened:

"Can you repeat what you said before?"

The figure on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and acted like a gentleman, extending his hand to Sophia:

"Beautiful Princess, my Chamber of Commerce lacks a manager. Are you interested in coming with me?"

"Of course"

Sofia had tears in her eyes but handed over her hand with a happy smile:

"Mr. Demacia."
