First mentioned in chapter 1882, The Sea of Trees is supposingly Dark Night Empire's rumored Dream City.
Description
The Sea of Trees is located within the territories of the Dark Night Empire, and was created by the Six Great Primordial Elf Kings. A forest envelopes the city and towering trees crowd the city, many of them piercing the clouds like a skyscraper. Houses have been built into the trees and thick branches connect the them together.
The Sea of Trees had a long history. Most of the NPCs living here were Elves, and one could spot NPC merchants of different races, with Human NPCs being a minority. The Sea of Trees also serves as a trade city for the various neutral races such as the Elves and half-beastman.
The city is guarded by Immortal Guardians and patrols of NPC. Each patrol is led by a Level 300, Tier 3 Knight and the weakest solider is even a Level 180, Tier 1 NPCs. Each of the solider is well-equipped with ancient equipment engraved with Advanced Battle Arrays, which when activated allows a Tier 2 soliders to take down Tier 4 players. The patrol captains are equipped with Master Battle Arrays, which would allow them to go toe-to-toe with even Tier 5 players.[1] In addition, if a Tier 6 player enters the city, they would be forcibly suppressed to Tier 5 due to the magic protecting the city.
There is a passage that allows Tier 1 players to be promoted to a special Tier 2 class, Traveling Bard. One of the major benefits that players would receive in the location was improvement of their grasp on magic arrays, as well as Spell Completion Rates, due to the location's focus on magic research.[2]
