Not only the core high temple of the Chosen City, the supreme temple on the World Tree, but all the annexes in the Chosen City where there were clock towers, had their bells ring out.
Their sounds gathered together, echoing above the Elf Forest, as if heralding something.
Hearing this series of chimes, Alice's expression gradually turned serious.
"The time has come."
She said softly,
Like a signal, after the chimes, the silent Chosen City seemed like a giant waking up, slowly reviving...
The doors on the streets, which were closed tight, once again swung open.
The Chosen Ones, some fully equipped and others still in casual clothes, stretched, greeted each other, and walked out of their doors.
The whole city became lively again in a moment.
However, all the Chosen Ones who had logged back in did not rush to do anything else, but cast their eyes toward the central square of the Chosen City, looking up at the majestic World Tree above the city.
The chimes... continued.
