Chapter 1220 Chapter 142. Late summer
"I thought of it!"
A few days later, Annan burst out of the study and broke into Olmedo's office.
Bang--
The door that sensed his arrival closed automatically. Annan turned a blind eye and held up two leaves of the other world tree and continued: "We made a mistake! The power of the other world tree is not the leaves, but the world tree!"
Olmedo, who was lowering his head to seize the time to eat, raised his head, with the residue still on his lips: "Originally... well, isn't that the way it is?"
"No! Originally we thought that the power was in the leaves, but after taking the leaves away from the otherworld tree, its energy dissipated rapidly. Instead, it would persist within the range of the otherworldly tree for a long time..."
The side shows how terrifying the radiation range of the Elf's World Tree is.
"Then when I placed the leaves next to the roots of the otherworldly tree, I found that it was regaining energy."
Olmedo took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What does this mean?"
"It means that we don't have to wait for the other world tree to grow up before picking the leaves. Its contact range will spread as the other world tree expands, and we can use the leaves of the other world tree at will within the scope of the other world tree!"
Annan asked Olmedo to imagine a future: "With the leaves of the otherworld tree, you can contact friends far away, and guards and guards can also quickly convey information and intelligence through the leaves of the otherworldly tree. If you run out of energy, Take it to the root of the tree in another world to charge..."
The elves were reluctant to use the World Tree like a giant dragon guarding treasure, so don't blame Annan for walking in front of them.
Compared with the World Tree, the Different World Tree has one more advantage of being able to communicate. So Da De can make it grow its roots or develop its crown.
The tree from another world is now about sixteen meters tall. When it grows to twenty meters, and its area is almost equivalent to the entire Liberty City, the strategy can be changed.
Picking a large number of leaves will not damage the otherworldly tree, but it will cause bad luck to the bandits and villains around Liberty City. Especially the thieves who escaped from the Principality of Montaburlok, they were shocked to find that Liberty City was still chasing them!
And it’s even more clingy than before and I can’t get rid of it!
They only thought it was because Liberty City had gained experience, and they had no idea it was because they had changed to the Punishment Legion. In addition to a bunch of former villains in the legion, there is also a legion leader who was a member of the Brotherhood of Shadows.
In addition, Olmedo offered "you help Liberty City find the bad guys, and we will allow you to continue your activities" in exchange for information on the Shadow Brotherhood. The Punishment Corps moved to clean up so fast that the thieves and rogue gangs even caught them. Didn't even see clearly.
In order to avoid the fate of being caught and hanged by Liberty City, the thieves groups disbanded one after another. Occasionally, a few were unwilling to give up and wanted to seek refuge with the nobles. When Gray Gloves sought refuge, they were crushed by the Punishment Legion together with the nobles.
No one can stop the Free City from punishing evil in the surrounding territories, not even the lords!
The lords had mixed feelings, but they had to admit that these few hundred gold coins were the most valuable thing they had ever spent.
"Don't leave yet." Olmedo called to Annan who was about to leave. "The blacksmith shop is already forging magic trains and rails. It's time for us to talk about the route."
"Of course it is a route with the development of Liberty City as the core!"
"I'm talking about the rail route of the magic train."
"oh……"
Annan did not shirk and walked to the map of China on the side.
The terrain of Gem Bay is like an irregular gem... It's a bit abstract to describe it, or like a crabapple leaf. The north is the principality, the west is the Franco territory, and the east is a small power.
The north of the principality faces the northern border, and the west of Franco's territory is the old violet land, which is not suitable for extension.
Looking at it this way, they only have one choice. And as a force on the fringes of Middle-earth, strengthening ties with Middle-earth is the most important thing.
"We can extend along this coastline towards the Empire."
Annan followed the coast and drew a line directly to Syltovis.
This route somewhat overlaps with the sea route, but it is almost unaffected by the rat people and war.
And the railways will naturally extend to prosperous places. The Franko Territory has limited prosperity, and the Principality of Montaburroc can be called the back garden of Liberty City. If they go west, they will pass by some small forces along the way, which can help them appreciate the beauty of Liberty City.
"My map."
"Oh, sorry." Annan smiled and patted the map with his graffiti.
Olmedo stared at the route Annan drew casually and pondered.
Free City and Syltovis are nearly 1,800 miles apart. Even if a road is built to get there, it will take ten days to get there. But if the magic train really travels 100 miles per hour as Annan said, even if it is only half, the time can be shortened to two days. And the price is just a little more expensive than paving the road in the past.
Don’t worry about negotiating with the small forces passing by. Syltovis would definitely not refuse, and since the Empire agreed, they could not object.
Olmedo was responsible for the communication, and Annan was only responsible for selecting the location of the Liberty City platform—the promontory in the southeast corner of Liberty City.
The groundbreaking ceremony of the platform was chosen on Freedom Day, when Annan celebrated his nineteenth birthday in this world.
After sharing a piece of cake, Annan pushed Itiliya to the construction site.
Before the official start of construction, there was a small show: In order to promote the magic train, Annan Guan Michael borrowed the locomotive that was still being renovated and let Bailong compete with it.
Visually, the magic locomotive is a bit thicker than the white dragon, but no one thinks that the white dragon will lose - that is a giant dragon!
But when the magic train started moving, it slowly but firmly moved forward, pulling the white dragon over.
"Timmy, come on! If you win, I'll give you ten buckets of fish!" Elder, the dragon trainer who was rescued by Little Smoo, stood aside and cheered for the white dragon.
Annan cheered for the train, not to be outdone: "Pull it over, and I'll give you an extra pot of magic stone!"
The white dragon named Timmy flapped his wings and grasped the ground with his limbs, but he was completely unable to resist the huge force of the magic train. He was dragged back and slid, and his claws plowed four deep grooves.
The magic train wins!
Evelyn held the magic stone in her hand and took a picture of this impactful scene.
Elder untied the white dragon's reins and comforted it not to be discouraged. The residents around who witnessed this scene cheered. They didn't know what was going on, but it was enough to know that Liberty City had become more powerful.
Something is missing...
The cheers around him drifted into his ears. Annan pondered over it. With the sound of a whistle that suddenly rang in his ears, he suddenly remembered that the whistle was missing.
Woo——
The magic train drove out of the platform and headed towards the wilderness in the distance.
The wild flowers on the grass swayed in the wind. The laughing children chased the train, chasing, chasing, and another summer passed.
