Act 230 City of Trees (1)
Viewed from the sky, the Tonigel area is high at both ends and low in the middle. There is a land in the southwest, and Fir Castle is located in this direction. ∏∈Ｅ∏∈Novel∏∈.net, www.exiaoｗｈｏ.ＣＭ Looking east from Firsburg, under the clear blue sky are the shadows of the undulating mountains, and a large area of hilly areas stretches straight down from the western foot of Mount Grahar, Gris The tributaries of the river meet here. It is the best hunting ground in autumn and winter, and it is the most densely forested area in the mountain.
It is located at the junction of the Mintai area and the Fir Territory. It is connected to Pallas to the north and the Schafflund Mine to the east. It guards the most important passage to the outside of Tonigel. It is Brando The best possible location for Tonigel Fortress was envisaged.
Although the terrain is undulating, terrain has never been a problem for the dwarves. Only because of funding reasons, this plan has just begun. Some troops are stationed in the hills, and only a few forts have been erected on the main roads.
In the center of the hills, the forest is considered to have carved out a clearing. This place was supposed to be a place of lush vegetation, but now the clearing is covered with rocks collected from the forest, and a huge giant is carved on the gray and uneven surface. Magic circle.
Multiple concentric circles form the main body of this Mou magic circle, which is filled with many mysterious runes. Even if the most famous masters in the Royal Society of Eruin are asked to identify them, they may not be able to recognize these ancient runes. Word. For Brando, this magic circle at least comes from the era before the Dark Dragon, and can at least be traced back to the Twilight War.
There is a mysterious power flowing in the magic circle, like the whisper of the woods. A pure natural power permeates the forest. Many green vines grow in the gaps between the rocks at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the magic circle has only been built for less than a week, the vines look like they have been sleeping in the forest for hundreds of years. This phenomenon of unusually lush plants has been maintained for several days. The magic circle seems to be able to gather the energy in the forest. Same magic.
This is the completed [Central] Array of Valhalla. There is a groove in the [Central] center of the Array, which fits perfectly with the city core in Brando's hand. This is the position reserved for it.
"The magic circle does not require an external source of magic power. Once completed, it can extract free magic power. Even we Silver Elves do not have such a powerful law." Medissa looked at the magic circle in the forest and praised: "It's so pure. The natural breath, Lord Lord, you are so awesome. ∏∈Ｅ∏∈Novel∏∈网, www.exiaoｗｈｏ.ＣＭ”
"This is not my work." Brando replied sheepishly.
"That's what I say, but no one can interpret the information about this magic circle on the crystal." Even the Druid elders who came from the black forest were unable to do anything, but the Lord happened to have read ancient books on this aspect. This cannot but be It is said to be a choice of fate. "Behind Brando, the sister of the wild elf also agreed with the elf princess's statement.
Hearing Fuluo say this,
Brando smiled. There are no ancient books. He can interpret this crystal more or less because of his special identity. He can understand the "true" purpose of an item through the additional information projected on the retina. "But the aborigines only The function of a magic item can only be guessed through archeology or general identification.
"So Brando, when will you put the crystal up?" Roman asked sitting on the rock.
"It should be now." Brando replied.
He has also seen scenes of cultivating urban cores in past games. The urban core is actually a semi-intelligent artificial life that is planted underground like tree seeds and then injected with magic power to make it grow.
But before planting, a magic circle is needed to strengthen it." This was the first time Brando saw it. He inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove in the center of the magic circle, and felt the crystal buzzing and vibrating in his hand. There seemed to be a faint light coming from inside, and the light flowed out like golden water along the runes of the magic circle.
Brando quickly shook his head.
At that moment, he almost thought he had seen it wrong, because a row of green text appeared on his retina asking for permission: "A request from Mo An, to access the lord system."
Brando's lord system was actually turned on when he first obtained lord status. After being turned on, the lord system is a bit like the town panel in the SLg game, which can be used to monitor the operation of his territory. ＥNovel Network(wＷw.Ｅxiao ￠shuo.ｃＯＭ)
For example, Brando's current lord system has two downward submenus, "Trade Wind Ring and Tony Geer (2/3 Territory)". He can see the income and expenditure of the two territories, "Specialty" and "Population". Mine forest resources and public security conditions, etc.
It also comes with a set of personnel appointment data. For example, you can see who the current person in charge is in different sub-items. For example, in Tony Geer's financial status panel, the person in charge is Roman.
If Brando transfers Roman from this position at this moment, he can see a series of impacts on the future territory's finances. This system already exists in the game, but it is more powerful in the game. Player lords can even complete personnel appointments and dismissals and issue some political orders through this system.
But in this Vaughnde world, the territory system is not actually operational and is basically just a surveillance system. Just monitoring is very powerful. Brando can see that if Roman is arranged to be the person in charge of the Schafflund Silver Mine, the revenue of the silver mine can increase by nearly one-third in the next three months.
It wasn't until he discovered the secrets of this lord system that he had an intuitive understanding of the abilities of this business lady for the first time, but even so, he would rather let Roman remain in the position of manager Tony Geer's financial power.
Although little Roman's talent in financial management is far inferior to her talent in business, the trade in the territory now is not just the income from the silver mine. In terms of total amount, she is still better than being a mine if she stays in this position. The person in charge is much more cost-effective for him.
Of course, these are digressions. Brando looked at the line of green text floating on his retina, was slightly startled, and then agreed to the request.
Immediately afterwards, a subsystem was added under the lord system, and its name was Valhalla. However, this system is still gray. Brando tried to touch it, but immediately got a prompt: "Valhalla is being cultivated. The first stage requires 132oo magic power."
"132,000 units of magic power!?" Brando was shocked. "The magic unit here is mana. Of course, 130,000 mana is not something that anyone can provide, even wizards like William and Turaman. To be sucked into a human being, so much magic power can only be output through magic crystals, and Brando reacted immediately.
The lowest level of magic crystals is secondary moonstone, followed by flame agate. "But he was not a wizard before" nor a professional alchemist. He really didn't know how many units of magic power the secondary moonstone could be converted into. He was really a little worried for a moment. If the conversion rate was too low, then this would be called 1 Valha. La, this thing is just a bottomless black hole.
Thinking of this, Brando hurriedly took out the magic crystal that had been prepared from the dimensional cave. It was a secondary moonstone. The quality of the veins of the magic crystal mine in the black forest is still good, at least this secondary moonstone. The magic power on the feldspar is much richer than Brando has ever seen on the market.
He threw the secondary moonstone onto the magic circle. Almost in the blink of an eye, the rhombus-shaped magic crystal lost its color and became as transparent as glass. The prompt in Brando's retina also changed: "Valhalla is being cultivated. The first stage requires 1319oo magic power."
"1:1oo." Brando breathed a sigh of relief. If the lowest-level moon crystal can exchange 100 units of magic power, then the high-level magic crystal is no problem. He tried the flame agate again, and sure enough, the exchange ratio for a flame agate was about 2,000.
In this way, the magic crystal required for 130,000 units of magic power is only a few hundred pieces. Tons of magic crystals were mined for the first time from the rich magic crystal mine in the Black Forest, and the magic crystals currently used in the territory are actually Charles and other mages, as well as Ruburt,
It's just Master Tamar's forge, so Brando put almost half of the mining volume into his own pocket, "without considering that the magic crystals needed by Valhalla would not be enough.
But he soon realized that he was naive.
Several hundred crystals were thrown away in exchange for a pile of transparent and colorless glass. At this time, the core of the city had finally absorbed enough of the magic power required for the first stage. The whole crystal made a creaking sound, and a large number of cracks appeared on it. .
Then there was a click, and the city core shattered in front of everyone, and a tree grew out of the original groove...
A small tree bud.
"This is hair!" With Brando's knowledge, he couldn't help being dumbfounded at this moment. "It's outrageous to plant the heart of the city like a tree seed, but he didn't expect to actually grow a sapling for him.
But Brando also knew that this tree must be extraordinary. No one would believe that what would come out of hitting hundreds of magic crystals would be an ordinary sapling. The sapling would grow in the wind at an astonishing speed. In an instant, he grew to about the height of Brandello.
Brando raised his head and saw that the sapling had begun to grow thicker and longer, stretching out its branches, just like the sacred tree of the ancient elves. In a moment, it grew to the point where it needed to be hugged by a person, reaching a height of several meters.
In just one minute, this "sapling" grew to a level that would take an average tree at least ten years to reach, but it had no intention of stopping.
Everyone present saw that dense aerial roots began to grow on the tree trunks, and many root systems emerged from under the surface of the rock formation, overturning the stone slabs. These root systems were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then knotted together.
After a few breaths, the sapling grew bigger again.
It looked like there were ancient trees.
"This... this is..." At this time, Otales, who had been sleeping in Brando's heart, also woke up because she felt the drastic changes in the magic power around her. She was speechless when she saw the tree. .
Brando was actually speechless for a long time.
Because right before his eyes, the sapling was getting thicker and thicker, with countless roots and branches extending from the trunk. Now it had grown to the point where seven or eight people could hug it. But the height of the tree was never very high. The highest point was only a few meters above the ground. At this time, Brando gradually saw the appearance of the tree. It actually formed a natural "wide" between the canopy layers. field.
"F*ck!" Brando finally reacted: "Isn't this the World Tree in the Ring of Trade Winds!"
