Since the princess's messenger returned the news from Lantonilan, another half month passed by. Scroll Moon is considered to be an important month for the Buja people in the silver city-state. The White Tower will ring the bell in this month to announce the arrival of the month of knowledge and wisdom. The wizards will be in Gata or Nikidi White. The public examination of their own students on the Marble Square made the entire silver city-state linger in a tense but orderly atmosphere.
But for the Eruin country folks far away in Tonigel, this is just a month that is getting hotter and hotter; the crops in the fields are beginning to draw leaves, and the color of the entire fir collar seems to have changed to make people feel A pleasing cyan-even astrologers and scholars in places like Braggs and Ampersel are arguing about whether July in the world system of Vaughan should be connected with the logical abilities of people, its supporters and opponents They insist on their own words, but in fact they have nothing to do with the production and life of most people in this kingdom.
People just stick to the laws of their lives at this time of reincarnation every year, rising and sunset, day and night, that's all.
The tension between the princess collar and Jean Denel became more apparent. The coming war was gradually brought to the table by people and became the most popular topic after dinner.
Although Lord Earl kept quiet about this, everyone knew that his lord stood firmly on the side of the princess. As everyone knows, Lord Lord is a young man, and the beauty of the princess has been spread throughout the country, even in the Cruz generation. So in private, some people in the south of Mintai and even the Vlada region are secretly speculating. The relationship between Lando and Princess Griffin.
Of course, the most popular rumors of the people are nothing more than knights and princesses, earls and his noble lovers. In addition, the Battle of Amperexel is like the plot in a knight's novel. Brando doesn't know why the fact that he led a group of retainers to Amperexel alone has spread, but in short, most people would rather believe it.
So that in the recent period, the eyes of the people around her Royal Highness looked at him strange. Griffith blushed slightly because the princess even mentioned these rumors occasionally, and reduced the number of meetings with him, which made Brando depressed.
Fortunately, Roman didn't seem to be jealous because of this, but listened to the bard version of Brando's "Knightly Action" story several times. Every time she heard the episode of'Earl's Night Club Princess', she couldn't help but look very curious.
"Lord Lord, the growth of the World Tree Fortress is better than expected. One month after you left the territory, we built the Moon Tower. With the magic transfer of the Moon Tower, the transmission energy of the Light Vortex increased to one Ten times a month, twenty times, thirty times... fifty times, by the month of Xia Yun, now my tribe has grown to one hundred, two hundred, three hundred and ten, twenty... three One hundred and sixty-seven."
Monica's crisp voice interrupted Brando's thoughts, he was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the tree crown above his head.
Valhalla's development is better than expected. The huge shade is more than ten times larger than when he left last time. The shade of palm-sized leaves stacked on top of each other is like a piece of jade, when the sun penetrates them. Dye the edges of the leaves into a bright yellow that makes you feel warm. Brando sat on the stairs in front of the town hall and listened to Monica reading the report boringly—in fact, the report itself was concise and detailed, but Ms. Guangling’s painful counting method was really difficult to correct— Fortunately, Brando has gradually become accustomed to this natural counting method after his ears have been tortured for a period of time. He has to sigh for the powerful adaptability of human beings.
He raised his head and looked at the moon-white spire above the tree canopy. The slender tower passed through the dense layers of shade, covered with creepers. Under the green shade, there were windows with wooden lattices at intervals, making the whole tower tall. The tower seems to have a unique natural atmosphere.
There is a moon-shaped resonance crystal at the top of the tower, and the crystal is shining with fluorescence, which proves that it is working now. This is Valhalla’s Tower of the Moon. It is located at the other end of the square. Brando regains his sight. The area of the square between the Town Hall and the Tower of the Moon is no longer more than 100 meters from the first time I saw it. The diameter is more than three times larger.
And compared to the last time I saw it, there is an extra fountain in the center of the square. The fountain has no traces of artificial carvings, but grows from the trunk below, surrounded by mushrooms. There is a statue of a young girl in the center, and Brando recognizes that it should be a symbol of the goddess of spring.
According to Monica, this statue should be a bonus building of Valhalla, but its function is very real. The entire fountain is like a magical halo with a weak effect, which can be used for all Valhalla within a hundred meters of it. Pulling approved creatures and machinery to supplement magic power. Although the role of this magic aura is very weak, Brando valued another function very much.
That is, if you meditate near this fountain, you will get double the effect. This is great news for cultivating wizards. It means that apprentice wizards practice spells by the fountain and only need half the time to master new magic.
In fact, Charles had already discovered this benefit. Brando saw many apprentices wearing monochromatic robes cast spells such as "Magic Ball" and "Fire Arrow" in the square. Some of them also formed two groups. Fighting against each other makes the scene in the center of the square resemble a group of people setting off fireworks, which is pleasing to the eye.
"But since last month, Lord Charles has withdrawn the authority of the Moon Tower. So the number of transitions of the Vortex of Light has now returned to the original level—" Monica finally finished counting, she looked like a little light. The ball flapped its wings and floated in front of Brando, and continued to reply: "According to your request, Lord Lord, we have promoted Valhalla to a territorial level one, two... The nests of trees have also been built. One, two, three... twenty-seven of them have grown, while the other one, two, three... and forty-three are still in their maturity period."
She flew to the side and replied, "Lord Lord, you can look over here."
Brando snapped away from the translucent lord interface floating in front of him, and the drowsy data on it made him two big. He raised his head and saw that in the direction Monica pointed, some nodules resembling tree knots were growing on the trunks extending outward from the square, and some of the thick and thin aerial roots of ordinary ancient wood trunks were coiled beside these nodules.
He had just looked in that direction, and some light green text appeared in turn on the roots coiled on the trunk. They were:
Ancient tree roots, parasitic plants, life: 40, intelligence: —, will: —, perception: —, strength: 22, dexterity: 20, physique: 25.
The roots of these ancient trees are almost as high as the peak of black iron, but they don't know how strong their actual combat ability is. Brando couldn't help aiming his gaze to the other side. Not far away, Haruze was wearing a knight training suit and fought against a root, but his sword skills were a bit horrible. The vines suddenly swept across the ground, and the shy and lovely little prince fell to the ground one by one.
Brando watched the young man get up as he was about to cry while holding his red forehead, and couldn't help sighing helplessly.
"As long as you conquer this root, you can rest, Your Royal Highness." He interrupted Monica and shouted.
"I, I understand, sir." His Royal Highness looked grateful, and then he was caught by a whip on the parapet on the side of the square.
Brando helped his forehead a little, and for the first time he felt whether he had seen the wrong person. He sighed, "Go ahead, Monica."
According to Monica’s previous statement, each tree nest can breed ten such roots, and after seventy tree nests are fully built, there will be seven or eight hundred roots just outside Valhalla. . That is equivalent to the fighting power of the elite soldiers of the White Lion Legion of the Seven or Eight Hundred Eruins, or the Flintlock Regiment of the Black Blade Legion.
And Brando knew that this was only a comparison of strength, not to mention that these roots under the unified command of the World Tree Fortress had a tacit understanding of how many times the tactical coordination of human soldiers.
"Lord Lord, after the World Tree Fortress has been upgraded to the second level, a new defensive building, the Elf Arrow Tower, has been added to the periphery of the square and the outer wall of the second ring road below. Because you have not been authorized, you need to be an adult yourself. To judge whether it needs to be built." Monica replied.
When she answered, there were some light spirits flying around behind her at all times, and each of these light spirits would greet the patriarch personally designated by Brando. In Brando's eyes, these light spirits flying around the World Tree are like countless fireflies, embellishing the huge canopy with a bit of magical color.
"Elf Arrow Tower?" Brando asked: "This sounds like a city defense facility invented by Silver Elves. There are three rooms on the top floor of the Elf Arrow Tower that can accommodate archers, and each room has eight perforations that can face all directions. , There are two magic circles in the room, frost and flame, which can easily enchant the archer’s arrows—"
"There is an ammunition room on the lower three floors of the arrow tower, and a ballista room on the first floor, which can accommodate two elven ballistas. Am I right?" He raised his head and asked.
"Lord Lord, you are amazing!" Monica couldn't help widening her eyes, and exclaimed in a shrill voice: "Almost so, but there is something wrong. The Silver Elf's Wizard Arrow Tower is actually born out of light. The sacred minaret of ethnicity, Valhalla’s arrow tower is the same, and it is slightly different from the silver elves, but they are still parallel."
The luminous girl replied proudly.
"Can I look at the data first?" Brando asked.
"Of course, Lord Lord."
Monica flew into the town hall and pulled out a long drawing from it. Brando glanced at the densely drawn drawing and couldn't help shaking her head. In fact, he didn't need anything at all, because a light screen had already appeared in front of him when Monica said that of course.
A three-dimensional model of the wizard arrow tower appeared on the light screen with various data on it.
The first is the three archer rooms almost the same as the Silver Spirit Arrow Tower, eight perforations and two magic circles are clearly visible. And below is the ammunition room. Both arrows and ballista ammunition can be transferred to the upper rooms through a transmission magic, but the ballista room on the lower level is slightly different from the silver elf's arrow tower in Brando's memory.
From the model point of view, this wizard arrow tower can only accommodate a ballista, but on the label of the room configurator, there is an additional accessory for a magic apprentice.
"Enchant ballista!" Brando pretended to grasp the blueprint, and immediately reacted.
"As expected, Lord Lord." Monica praised in surprise.
"Really clever design." Brando also exclaimed. However, in his mind, if Valhalla’s Elf Arrow Tower is better than the Silver Elf, it’s not necessarily. An enchanted ballista has a limited increase in lethality compared to two ordinary ballistas, but one ballista has one. The configuration of the magic apprentice seemed a bit more luxurious.
He pondered slightly, only to understand a little bit why all aspects of Valhalla's settings seemed to exist for the cultivation of a large number of wizards. It now appears that this territory is likely to be the real high-level magic territory in the legend.
Such territories are certainly powerful, but the cost of cultivation is obviously also amazing.
The frontal defense of Valhalla's Elf Arrow Tower is basically the same as that of the Silver Elf. The side defense is slightly weaker, but it has certain self-repair capabilities. In general, each has its own merits. However, compared to the earth and stone arrow towers of ordinary humans, this high-magic arrow tower is naturally not above the same level.
Overall, Brando is still very satisfied. Once Valhalla has such a defensive facility, the defense of the entire territory will almost double. Brando immediately asked: "Such an arrow tower needs the support of a magic pool, right?"
Monica nodded: "But don't waste so much, the magic power transformed by the crystal pool is enough to keep these arrow towers operating. One crystal pool is enough to supply one, two, three... forty so many elven arrow towers to keep running. . And according to your lord’s request before you leave, the crystal pool was completed three months ago."
"Then how many arrow towers do you think we need? Monica?"
"If you build on the square on the top floor, currently only eight are enough to cover all the area. To build on the second-level ring road, you need twenty. And if you build on the lowest rhizome city, I’m afraid you need Seventy seats or even more. Besides, if Lord Lord chooses the last plan, it will take a lot of time because Lord Odum is building a city wall somewhere—"
The outer ring road in Monica’s mouth is actually the outer layer of the world tree trunk. After the whole world tree is fully mature, three areas are formed. The central square with a diameter of 500 meters is the highest and most core area, almost all of them The functional buildings surround this huge square.
The square is down, with a drop of about 30 meters. It is a ring road about 50 meters wide. This ring road surrounds the tree of the world. There are two levels from top to bottom. The lower ring can lead to the upper level and the upper ring. The side of the road against the tree wall connects to the hollow interior hall of the World Tree.
Down the two ring roads, there is an open area composed of countless Valhalla roots rooted in the ground. This area is undulating, about two to three kilometers in diameter, and a lot of flat spaces are formed on it. The roots of each other are connected with each other as wide as the avenue, which is the entire lower city of Valhalla.
However, there is nothing in Xiacheng, but a descendant of a rune dwarf suddenly wanted to build an artificial fortress in this area.
This was the first time Brando heard of this idea. He couldn't help but straighten up and asked: "Oldham plans to build another wall in the city? Wait, is he crazy? In case Valhalla expands further. How to do?"
"Lord Lord, after the core area of Valhalla reaches its current diameter, it will stabilize for a period of time. After all, the World Tree Fortress does not grow endlessly." Monica replied.
"What about the future?" Brando still feels a bit weird. Last time the guy said later that he wanted to build an "Invincible City" without a gate. He felt that he should be aware of the problem. He didn't expect Oldham to be even more lawless this time. .
But Monica obviously has a different view from him: "Lord Lord, the World Tree Fortress is a magical territory. Maybe you haven’t seen its magic, but you don’t have to worry about it, even if it will continue to expand in the future. , And it won’t affect the old city a bit. In a big deal, then you can expand the lower city."
"Really?" Brando frowned, speaking of the territory. Not to mention Valhalla's territory, even the player's popular magic territory, he has never seen him. In this regard, he is still a novice.
"Of course, every time Valhalla expands, the entire territory will be overthrown and re-emerged. How can such a world tree fortress be called the strongest fortress from the previous era?" Monica replied proudly. road.
"The strongest fortress?" Brando grasped the modifier keenly. He originally thought that this somewhat natural stupid spirit was bragging, but he didn't expect that after hearing his question, Monica nodded solemnly and said: "Lord Lord, you must not know the origin of this territory, once you know it Why it was built, you know what Monica said is true."
"What is its origin?" Brando asked curiously, narrowing his eyes.
Monica was slightly stunned, and suddenly changed her appearance and replied in a mechanical tone: "Valhalla of Valhalla, Asgart of Golden Palace, Avalon of Ideal Hometown, and Altras, one, two, three The four and five fortresses were originally replicas of Fort Babel. They were activated one after the other after the Twilight War, but as far as I know, the Golden Palace Asgart and the ideal town Avalon have been completely destroyed, Valha There is only one backup left in Ra, and Altras is missing."
"But as a replica of Babel in the final battlefield, although it is only a backup, the remaining Valhalla already symbolizes the highest masterpiece of civilization of that era."
