The Amber Sword: Scene 230 The City of Trees (1)
City of Trees in Act 230 (1)
Overlooking from the sky, the two ends of the Trentheim area are high in the middle and low in the middle, and there is a basin in the southwest. Fortress Fir is located in this direction. Looking east from Fortress Fir, under the blue sky are the rolling shadows of the mountains. A large hilly area is tiled down from the west foot of Grahár Mountain, and the tributaries of the Gris River meet here. It is the best hunting ground in autumn and winter. It is a mountain forest. The densest area.
This is located at the junction of Minteye and Fir Tree Shire. It is connected to Pallas to the north, and can enter Schafflund Mine to the east. It holds the most important channel of Trentheim outwards. Correct Brando is the best location for Trentheim fortress.
Although the terrain is uneven, terrain has never been a problem for dwarves. It was only because of funding that today this plan has begun. Some troops are stationed in the hills, and only a few forts are set up on the main road.
In the central area of the hills, the forest is considered to be an open space. It should have been a lush grassland. Now the open space is covered with rocks collected from the forest. The uneven surface of grey is engraved. A huge magic formation.
A plurality of concentric circles form the subject of this magic formation, which is filled with many mysterious Rune. Even if it is recognized by the most rich, abundant and reputable masters of the Aouine Royal Society, these ancient texts may not be recognized. For Brando, this magic formation is at least from the era before Dragon of Darkness, and it must be traced back to War of the Twilight.
magic formation has a mysterious power, like the whisper of the woods, a pure Nature's power overflowing in the forest, and many green vines are growing in the gaps between the rocks at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Although magic formation was established less than a week ago, the vines seemed to have slept in the forest for hundreds of years. This unusually luxuriant phenomenon of plants already has been maintained for several days, and magic formation seems to be able to gather Mana in the forest.
This is the completed Valhalla center magic formation, and the center of magic formation has a groove, which fits into the core of the city on the hand of Brando, which is the place reserved for it.
"magic formation does not need an external Mana source. Once completed, it can draws free Mana. Such a powerful Laws, even if we do not have Silver Elf." Medissa looked at magic formation in the forest and admired: "Good pure nature Aura, Lord Thane, you are amazing. "
"This is not my work." Brando replied embarrassed.
"That ’s what it says, but no one can read the information about this magic formation on crystal. Even the Druid elders from Black Forest are powerless, and Lord Thane has just read the ancient books in this regard. A fate choice. "Behind Brando, the sister in Wild Elf also agreed with the Elven Princess statement.
I heard Flo say this, Brando smiled. How can there be any ancient books, he can interpret this crystal more or less because of his special identity. He can understand the true use of a Item through the extra information projected on the retina, but the indigenous people can only use archeology Or the method of general identification only guesses what effect an magical item has.
"So Brando, when will crystal be put up?" Romaine asked on the rock.
"It should be now." Brando replied.
He has seen scenes of cultivating urban cores in the past game. The urban core is actually a semi-intelligent artificial life, planted underground like a tree species, and then injected into Mana to grow.
However, magic formation is needed to strengthen it before planting. Brando is the first experience. He inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove in the center of magic formation and felt that crystal buzzed and shook in his hand. The inside seemed to emit a faint light, and the light flowed along the rune of magic formation like golden water.
Brando quickly shook his head.
At that moment, he almost thought that he had read it wrong, because a row of green text inquiries appeared on his retina:
"A strange request to access the Thane system."
The Brando's Thane system was actually opened when the Thane status was obtained for the first time. The Thane system after opening is a bit like the town stat display in simulation game and can be used to monitor the operation of one's own territory.
For example, there are two downward submenu, Faithwind Circle and Trentheim (2/3 territory) in the Thane system of Brando at the moment. He can see the income and expenditure of the two territories, special products, population, mine forest resources and law and order. Status, etc.
It also comes with a set of personnel appointment data. For example, you can see who is currently in charge on different sub-options. For example, in the financial status stat display of Trentheim, the person in charge is Romaine.
Brando If we remove Romaine from this position at this moment, we can see a series of effects on the future territorial finances. This system is existence in game, but it is more powerful in game. Players Thane can even complete personnel appointment and removal and issue some government orders through this system.
But in this Vaunde world, the territorial system is not practical, it is basically just a surveillance system. It's just surveillance, it's powerful. Brando can see that if Romaine is arranged to be the head of the Shavrund silver mine, it can increase the silver mine's revenue by nearly one-third in the next three months.
The ability of this Merchant Young Lady didn't have an intuitive understanding until he discovered the secret of this Thane system, but even so, he would rather leave Romaine in the position of the financial authority of Trentheim.
Although Xiao Little Romaine's talent in financial management is far inferior to her talent for doing business, today's trade in the territory can be more than the income of silver mines. In terms of total amount, she remains in this position better What is responsible for mine is much more cost-effective for him.
Of course, these are off-topic. Brando looked at the line of green text floating on his retina, hesitated a little, and then agreed to the request.
Subsequently there was an additional subsystem under the Thane system, and the name was Valhalla. However, this system is still grey. Brando tried to touch it, but immediately got a prompt:
"In the cultivation of Valhalla, the first stage requires Mana132000."
"Mana of 132,000 units !?" Brando was taken aback. The Mana unit here is mana. Of course, 130,000 mana is not -- that anyone can provide, even wizard Boss like William and Thurman. So many Manas of -- sucked by adults can only be output by Magic Crystal, and Brando immediately responds.
One of lowest grade in Mana crystal is secondary Moonstone, then flame agate. However, he was not wizard or professional Alchemist before. He really didn't know how many units of secondary Moonstone can be transformed into Mana. He was really a little hesitant at the moment. If the conversion rate is too low, then this thing named 'Valhalla' is pure It's a bottomless black hole.
Thinking of this, Brando hurriedly prepared Magic Crystal from Dimensional Hole, Correct a secondary Moonstone, and the ore vein quality of Magic Crystal Ore/Mine in Black Forest is still good. At least the Mana filled on this secondary Moonstone is better than Brando. I have seen much more in the market.
He threw the secondary Moonstone on the magic formation, almost in an instant, the diamond-shaped Magic Crystal lost its color and became transparent like glass. And the cues in the Brando retina have also changed:
"In the cultivation of Valhalla, the first stage requires Mana131900."
"1: 100." If sighed in relief in the heart of Brando, Moon crystal in lowest grade can exchange 100 units of Mana, then advanced Magic Crystal will not matter. He tried flame agate again, and sure enough, the exchange ratio of a flame agate was about 2000.
In this way, the Magic Crystal required by 130,000 units of Mana is only a few hundred yuan. The first Magic Crystal mined from the rich magic crystal ore in Black Forest is measured in tons. The Magic Crystal used in the territory at the moment is actually the forging plant of Wizard, Lubo and Tamar masters, such as Ciel, so Brando has almost classified the half that was mined this time into the one's own pocket, so that the Magic Crystal required by Valhalla will not be enough.
But he soon realized that he was too naive.
Hundreds of pieces of crystal were dropped and replaced with a pile of transparent and colorless glass. At this time, the core of the city finally absorbed enough Mana required for the first stage. The whole block crystal made a creak sound, and a lot of it appeared immediately above Cracked.
After kā chā, the core of the city shattered under the eyes and a tree grew from the original groove ...
A small tree bud.
"This is Mao!" I couldn't help being stupid at the moment of seeing Brando's. It was ridiculous to plant the heart of the city like a tree species. I didn't expect to grow a sapling for him.
But Brando also knows that this tree is definitely different, and no one will believe that the thing obtained by smashing hundreds of Magic Crystals will be an ordinary sapling --. I saw that the sapling grew in the wind. The speed quickly grew to almost Brando.
Brando raises head, you can see that the saplings already begin to grow thicker and longer, and stretch out branches. It is just like the holy tree of ancient elf. In a moment, it grows up to a height of several meters.
In just one minute, this 'sapling' has grown to the level that ordinary trees take at least ten years to reach, but it has no meaning to stop.
Everyone at the scene saw dense aerial roots beginning to form on the trunk, and many root systems were emerging under the surface of the rock magic formation to overturn the slate. These root systems are also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then knotted. Together.
With a few breaths, the sapling grows again.
Looked at the appearance of old trees.
"This ... this is ..." At this time, Artalyss, who had been sleeping in Brando's heart, also woke up because she felt the drastic changes around Mana. When she saw the tree, she was a little speechless.
Brando has long been speechless.
Because in front of him, the sapling is getting thicker and thicker, and numerous roots and branches are extending from the trunk. At this moment, already has risen to the point where seven or eight people can hold each other. However, the height of the tree was not high, and it stayed a few meters above the ground. At this time, Brando gradually saw the appearance of the tree, and it formed a natural square between the treetop layers.
"WTF!" Brando finally reacted now: "Isn't this the World Tree in Faithwind Circle!"
...
(ps: Wind Archer (below) put it back to me. Do n’t ask where (below) when you see it, anyway, the order of the chapters is right. Enn, the development of the territory here will be written together.) ...)
