From the sky, the two ends of the Tonigle area are high and the middle is low. There is a basin in the southwest, and the fir castle is located in this direction. Looking east from the fir fort, under the blue sky are the shadows of the rolling hills. A large area of hilly area is spread straight down from the western foot of the Grajal Mountain. The tributaries of the Gris River meet here, and the autumn and winter seasons are the best The hunting ground is the most densely forested area.
It is located at the junction of the Mintai area and the Fir Land. It connects with Pallas to the north and enters the Shavlund Mine to the east. It is the most important passage to Tonigel, which is Brando. The best location for Tonigle's fortress is envisaged.
Although the terrain is uneven, the terrain has never been a problem for the dwarves. It was only because of funding that the plan started. Some troops were stationed in the hills, and only a few fortresses were erected on the main roads.
In the central area of the hills, the forest is considered to have opened 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. The gray uneven surface depicts a huge Law circle.
A plurality of concentric circles constitute the main body of the magic circle, and they are filled with many mysterious runes. Even if the most famous masters in the Royal Society of Eruin can recognize them, they may not be able to recognize these ancient words. . For Brando, this circle is at least from the era before the Dark Dragon, and must be traced back to the Battle of Twilight.
There is a mysterious power flowing in the circle, like the whispers of the woods, a pure natural power overflowing in the forest, and many green vines grow in the gaps between the rocks at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the formation has only been established for less than a week, the vines seem to have been sleeping in the forest for hundreds of years. This phenomenon of abnormal vegetation has been maintained for several days, and the magic circle seems to be able to gather the magic power in the forest.
This is the completed Valhalla central circle. There is a groove in the center of the circle, which fits exactly with the city core in Brando's hand, which is the place reserved for it.
"The magic circle does not require an external source of magic power. Once it is completed, it can extract free magic power. Such a powerful law, even if we silver elves, does not have it." Metissa looked at the magic circle in the forest and exclaimed, "It's so pure. Your natural breath, Lord Lord, you are so amazing."
"This is not my work." Brando replied embarrassedly.
"That's how it is said, but no one can interpret the information about this magic circle on the crystal. Even the druid elders who came from the Black Forest can do nothing, but Lord Lord has just read ancient books in this area. It's a choice of fate." Behind Brando, the older sister among the wild elves also agreed with the elf princess.
Brando smiled when Fro said that. 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 purpose of an object through the extra information projected on the retina, while the aborigines can only use archeology Or the general method of identification can guess what a magic item does.
"So Brando, when should I put the crystal on it?" Roman asked, sitting on the rock.
"It should be now." Brando replied.
He has also seen the scene of cultivating the urban core in the past games. The urban core is actually a kind of semi-intelligent artificial life, which is planted underground like a tree seed and then injected with magic power to make it grow.
However, before planting, a magic circle is needed to reinforce it, and Brando has seen it for the first time. He inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove in the center of the magic circle, and felt the crystal buzzed and vibrated in his hand. It seemed to emit a faint light inside, and the runes of the magic circle flowed out like golden water. .
Brando shook his head quickly.
At that moment he almost thought he had read it wrong, because a row of green text queries appeared on his retina:
"An unfamiliar request, access the lord system."
Brando’s lord system was actually turned on when he first obtained the status of lord. The lord system after opening is a bit like the town panel in the SLG game, which can be used to monitor the operation of your own territory.
For example, Brando’s lord system at the moment has two downward sub-menus, Ring of Tradewinds and Tonigel (2/3 territory), he can see the income and expenditure of the two territories, specialties, population, Mine forest resources and public security situation and so on.
At the same time, it also comes with a set of personnel appointment data. For example, you can see who the current person in charge is on different sub-items. For example, in Tonigel's financial status panel, the person in charge is Roman.
If Brando moved Roman from this position at this moment, he would be able to see a series of effects on the territorial finances in the future. This system exists in the game, but it is more powerful in the game. The player lord can even use this system to complete the appointment and dismissal of personnel and issue some government orders.
But in this world of Vaughan, the territory system is not actually operational, it is basically just a surveillance system. Just monitoring is very powerful. Brando can see that if Roman is arranged to be the head of the Schafflund silver mine, it can increase the income of the silver mine by nearly a third in the next three months.
This merchant eldest lady's abilities did not have an intuitive understanding for the first time until he discovered the secret of this lord system, but even so, he would rather let Roman remain in the position of the financial power in charge of Tonigel.
Although little Roman’s talent in financial management is far inferior to her talent in business, the trade in the territory is not just the income of silver mines. In terms of the total amount, she stays in this position is still better than being a mine. The person in charge is much more cost-effective for him.
Of course, these are digressions. Brando was slightly taken aback when he looked at the line of faint green text floating on his retina, and then agreed to the request.
Then there was an additional subsystem immediately under the lord system, whose name was Valhalla. But the system was still grey, Brando tried to touch it, but immediately got a prompt:
"In the cultivation of Valhalla, the first stage requires 132,000 magic."
"132,000 units of magic power!?" Brando was startled. The magic power unit here is mana. Of course, 130,000 mana is not something anyone can provide—even wizard leaders like William and Tulaman came to estimate. They must also be sucked into human beings-so much magic power can only be output by magic crystals, Brando immediately reacted.
The lowest grade of the magic crystal is the secondary moonstone, and then the flame pattern agate. However, he was not a wizard before, nor a professional alchemist. I really don’t know how many units of magic power the lesser moonstone can convert. He was really a little nervous at the moment. If the conversion rate is too low, then this is called'Valha. What is pulling is purely a bottomless black hole.
Thinking of this, Brando hurriedly took out the prepared magic crystal from the dimension hole. It was a secondary moonstone. The mineral vein quality of the magic crystal mine in the Black Forest was still good, at least this secondary moon. The magic filled with feldspar is much richer than Brando has seen on the market.
He threw the secondary moonstone onto the circle, and almost in the blink of an eye, the diamond-shaped magic crystal lost its color and turned into something transparent like glass. The prompts in Brando’s retina have also changed:
"In the cultivation of Valhalla, the first stage requires magic power of 131900."
"1:100." Brando heaved a sigh of relief. If the lowest-level moon crystal can exchange 100 units of magic power, then the high-level magic crystal will not be a problem. He tried the flame pattern agate again, and sure enough, the exchange ratio of a flame pattern agate was about 2000.
In this way, the magic crystals needed for 130,000 units of magic power are only a few hundred pieces. The magic crystals mined for the first time in the rich magic crystal mine in the Black Forest are in tons, and the magic crystals that are used in the territory at this moment are actually the forging factories of the Shire and other mages, Ruburt and Master Tamar. It's only over there, so Brando put almost half of the mining volume in his own pocket, so as not to worry that the magic crystals needed by Valhalla will not be enough.
But he soon realized that he was too naive.
Hundreds of crystals were dropped in exchange for a pile of transparent and colorless glass. At this time, the city core finally absorbed enough magic power for the first stage. The whole crystal made a creaking sound, and immediately there were a lot of cracks on it. .
Then with a click, this city core shattered under the eyes of everyone, and a tree grew out of the original groove...
A small tree bud.
"This is hairy!" With Brando's insight, he couldn't help being dumbfounded at this moment. It was ridiculous enough to plant the heart of the city like a tree seed. I didn't expect to actually grow a sapling for him.
But Brando also knows that this tree is definitely extraordinary. No one would believe that the thing that hundreds of magic crystals can smash down will be an ordinary sapling-only seeing that sapling grows in the wind, it is amazing The speed grew to almost as high as Brando in an instant.
Brando raised his head and saw that the sapling had begun to thicken and grow, and its branches stretched out, just like the sacred tree of ancient elves. It grew up to a height of several meters in a moment that needed a person to hug it.
In just one minute, this'sapling' had grown to the level that an average tree would take at least ten years to reach, but it didn't mean to stop in the slightest.
Everyone present saw dense aerial roots growing on the tree trunks, and many roots overturned slabs emerged from the surface of the rock formation. These roots were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then knotted together. .
After a few breaths, the'sapling' became bigger again.
I saw the appearance of ancient trees.
"This... This is..." At this time, Otales, who had been sleeping in Brando's heart, also woke up because of the dramatic changes in the magic around her. She was a little speechless when she saw the tree.
Brando was already speechless.
Because just before his eyes, the sapling was getting thicker and thicker, and countless roots and branches extended from the trunk. At this moment, it had risen to the point where it took seven or eight people to hug it. However, the height of the tree was not high, and the highest was just a few meters above the ground. Brando gradually saw the appearance of the tree at this time, and it actually formed a natural square between the canopy.
"Fuck!" Brando finally reacted at this moment: "Isn't this the tree of the world in the ring of trade winds!"
