The Amber Sword

Chapter 465: The City of Trees (2)

Views:

The world tree grew to almost ten meters in radius, then stopped and no longer grew. The huge tree canopy stretched out and then stood still, as if after hundreds of years, the emerald green leaves covered layer by layer, connecting with the surrounding forest to form a quiet whole. Sunlight hung down golden swords from between the branches and leaves, Brando raised his head, and saw that the green veins on each leaf vein were clearly visible, as if a layer of emerald-colored blood vessels spread across the entire canopy.

An ancient tree occupies quietly in the center of the simple and mysterious magic circle—

Roman was stunned. The businessman opened her mouth in surprise, as if she made a short "Ah-" tone. Akane couldn't help widening her amber eyes behind her, but since she followed Brando, most of the things she has encountered have been bizarre. This ponytail girl with a strong personality is more or less uncanny. Cultivated some concentration, so there is just something weird in these eyes at the moment.

And Medisa, who was once the youngest princess of the silver elves, behaved a little better, at least still maintaining the restraint of the people of silver, but her eyes flashed.

Only the sister of the wild elf, Miss Flor still has a poker face. This is not so much due to character, as it is that she herself is part of the entire rule of the travel mage-unlike Metis who later became a "knight", she is much more experienced. After experiencing even more incredible things, even if a real world tree grows in front of your eyes, it doesn't seem so fussy.

"Brando, are you planting a tree seed just now!?" It was Little Roman who spoke first. The look on the merchant lady's face said it was more confused than curious and joyful, probably because Brando had done it again. It’s a terrific thing: "How come a tree grows so fast! Am I dreaming? Brando, pinch me!"

Brando glared at her and came back to his senses. Miss Merchant’s way of thinking is never incomprehensible to normal people, just like the way Buche expressed her fear when she first met Madara’s undead—'Brando, will they eat us? Ah? ', her way of expressing curiosity is mostly—'Ah, that's amazing, Brando! '

"This is the world tree." Metisa turned her head and asked. There was a certain sense of reason in the silver eyes of the elf princess, and she did not directly come to a conclusion: "Lord Lord?"

"No, it's not so much..." Brando looked up at the tree that could be called a'huge', and shook his head.

This tree is not so much a world tree as it is a town covered by a huge canopy. It is more appropriate to describe it. In some ways, it is indeed like Valhalla's World Tree, with the same huge canopy and intertwined roots, just like a miniature model. But the tree stretches out in all directions at the top, and even at the foot of the tree, you can see a huge platform formed on it.

It is a platform, or rather a square under the shade of a tree.

The brown tree trunks constitute the towering city wall, protecting the square above the city wall, and even some slender branches grow on the edge of the square, which are woven into each other and grow into things like railings or handrails, but they are composed of a standard with military purpose. From his gaze, this could be the breast wall or the female wall.

All in all, this tree has grown into a small natural fortress—

"This seems to be a castle, it's so beautiful..." Qian looked at the tree, or this small castle, in a daze. It was like a forest castle with a sleeping princess described in a fairy tale. The green color like a dream. Even though the red-haired girl would tie her long hair behind her head like a daughter of a real mountain man, and take her spear into battle, she would occasionally miss the days when she dreamed of the stories in fairy tales.

After all, she would rather be just an ordinary girl, with the right to dream. Of course, if Lord Lord is willing to give her such a castle... Ah, Akane couldn't help but want to stay a little bit for a while.

Roman had already started to circle around the tree, and she could tell-she wanted to go up. After a while, the cute little girl found the baby: "There is a ladder here, Brando!"

Sure enough, there is a ladder behind the ancient tree, just like a spiral ladder that welcomes guests—or a spiral ladder that welcomes the owner. The spiral ladder hangs down from the top of the tree—it grows naturally from the vines that grow on the trunk, but it does not appear thick at all. , On the contrary, it seems to have been artificially woven-exquisite and beautiful.

And the width between each step is just right. The first time you see this ladder, you will know that you just walked up like this without much effort. What's more, it has a kind of cordial atmosphere, which will not make people suspect that it is a trap.

"Shall we go up?" The merchant lady raised her head, and the beautiful bangs slid to the sides to reveal the flat jade forehead. She blinked and asked Brando.

Brando looked at the others.

In the past games, he has developed a habit of asking his players on the same team for their opinions, although there is probably no'player' besides him. The quiet silver elf princess, although very annoying, but will not defy his orders, the "secretary" of the wild elf sister-or that she has now doubled up as an inseparable head maid, which is recognized by Brando's subordinates. Identity. There are also little Roman and the mercenary girl Akane, who is the only one who lives by his life. In fact, he is the head of several girls.

Brando soon discovered the habitual mistake he had made. He couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. After all, the habits in the game couldn't be changed for a while.

The elf princess saw the embarrassment of the lord, and smiled faintly: "Our elf is very sensitive to the breath of nature. This tree gives me the feeling of closeness. But it is not the kind of spontaneous closeness, more like It's the feeling of'home', it seems to invite us to go up."

"Well, I actually feel that way too." Brando nodded, but his words were not exactly the same. For him, the relationship between this tree and him is more like a subordinate relationship, because the core of the city that is planted is bound to him, so now he vaguely feels that he can control everything he sees, even this He felt that he could also order the Dao Huo Ladder.

This feeling was so strong that Brando couldn't help but give an order in his heart. "Retract." He ordered, only to hear a slight rustle—a miracle happened, and the naturally hanging vine ladder was actually retracted, just as if the vines suddenly came back to life, they retracted back and became It is a general plant that clings to the trunk.

"Ah." Romain was startled, and she quickly hid behind Brando.

"Can you order it?" Medissa asked in surprise.

Brando nodded, he was also very curious, but there was some kind of speculation in this curiosity. If this speculation came true, then all this would be too incredible.

"Let's go up and take a look." He said immediately.

Others were more or less attracted by curiosity at this time, even Fro, who was expressionless, could not help but carefully observe the hanging vine ladder again. The ladder is actually very strong, as expected, a group of people climbed up the spiral ladder without much effort, as if the old tree was supporting them upwards, everyone soon came to the top of the trunk.

What appeared in my eyes was a small circular square, under the shade of the lush trees, the square was about a hundred steps away from one end to the other, which was wider than expected. What's amazing is that there is a layer of slate on the ground of the square, instead of the wood as imagined, a small fountain stands in the center of the square, and the water is full of shiny pebbles. On one side of the square, there is a hall whose architectural style resembles those of elves' houses. The pure wooden structure is constructed with arched beams and towering roofs to create a structure full of fantasy colors.

Everyone was stunned.

"This... the city hall." Medissa recognized the building, and for the first time she had an unbelievable look in her eyes: "Could this tree itself be a magic town?"

"I'm afraid you guessed it..." Brando felt that he was hit by a huge surprise.

That's why he was only skeptical at first, but when he saw this hall, he was convinced-Valhalla is a tree, a living city-a city can grow naturally without artificial expansion, its branches and leaves are The entire territory is sheltered from wind and rain, and the city is a whole, and it is much easier to defend.

So handsome!

This is definitely Brando’s dream of territory. Although Valhalla is still very small now, it is only 30 meters away from the branch of the ancient tree to the other, but even so, it already has a magic town. Prototype. In the city hall, Brando saw the full picture of Valhalla. The map is presented on a wooden platform in the center of the hall — or rather a natural tree stump, on which a crystal grows, and the overall structure of Valhalla is projected on this crystal — it is hollow, from the square There are downward steps on all four sides that lead to the hollow branches of the ancient tree.

The following is divided into many large and small rooms, which seem to be residential areas and natural warehouses for the residents of this town. Brando discovered that this area can be transformed into a barracks, or perhaps it was originally intended to exist.

There is also a downward passage in the town hall, which connects the three lowest rooms in the trunk. All three rooms have natural magic pools—these magic pools are connected by the huge roots of the ancient trees. Underground, so it can create a steady stream of magic. Such a room is called a magic nest. This is where the nest is placed. It can also be transformed into a crystal pool or an alchemy laboratory (wizard tower).

"There are actually three magic pools!" Medisa looked at this holographic map and was taken aback: "How can such a small magic town be considered a junior territory!?"

"Junior Territory? What is that?" The other girls looked back at the elf princess in confusion.
