Waking up from his sleep, Zhong Huan looked at the scenery in front of him and was a little stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first thing that surprised him was his height.

He is now thirty meters tall, and the diameter of the main trunk is already more than one and a half meters. The trees are leafy above the canopy, and the shade of the trees is even more tightly shading the craters of that year.

The second thing that surprised him was the change around him. There are countless elven buildings in the woods. Everywhere you can see elves shuttling back and forth in the forest, and there is a bustling scene everywhere.

"It's such a prosperous area, and the land price here must be very expensive." Before Zhong Huan had time to rejoice at the change in front of him, he immediately began to think about another question: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"You have been asleep for ninety-nine years, my master." At some point, Ehna came to the shade of the tree.

She looked up at the tall World Tree, her eyes flashing with joy: "I sensed your breath coming, and I knew that you had woken up." ”

Dressed in an ornate and elaborate elven attire, Ehana held a staff with emerald green shoots at the top. At a glance, you can see that her current social status is very high.

"I didn't expect it to take so long in a blink of an eye, and it has changed so much here. I'm amazed by your speed. Zhong Huan sighed sincerely.

"It's a blink of an eye for you, but for an elf, it's a tenth of your lifespan." We have to hurry. ”

"I'm not praising you, the Wood Elves are too inefficient. If you were a human being, it would take 60 years to build such a city. ”

Eichna: ....

Shenmu City, a circular city with a very short history that only hosts wood elves. The most central part of the city is the Shenmu Square where Zhong Huan is located.

The Wood Elves are arguably the most artistic of the Elves, and the cities they design are undulating and scattered.

The outermost part is surrounded by a wall of trees and vines. Tree people walking on guard can be seen everywhere inside and outside the wall, which gives Zhong Huan the illusion of going to the wrong set: here are you going to shoot the otherworldly version of "Attack on Titan"?

When you enter the city, you can see neat forest paths, treehouses built on trees, and aerial passages formed by intertwined vines. The whole city looks unusually beautiful.

"Yes, this design is very low-carbon and environmentally friendly. What is the current situation of Shenmu City, you can tell me first. Zhong Huan "walked" in the city with great interest, and Ekhina was by his side.

After waking up from his slumber, Zhong Huan found that he had some new abilities. For example, he was able to dedicate a trace of his mind to Aichna's staff and let her take him on a tour of the city.

That's right, Ekhina's staff is still the dead branch back then, the failed product of Zhong Huan's first experiment.

Not a failure, to be exact, it has sprouted after a hundred years. Of course, as her own weapon, Ehina would not let it continue to grow. When a new sprout grows, the meaning is obtained.

Now it has become a well-known artifact, a "staff of life" that symbolizes the divine power of the World Tree.

Zhong Huan was very pleased with this.

As the spokesperson of the sacred tree, High Priest Eshna is the most respected person in the entire city. Wherever she went, the elves would always greet her respectfully.

Ekhina also greeted everyone with a smile, and she walked through the streets of the city unhurriedly.

"Now there are a total of 37,180 resident elves in Shenmu City, all of whom are followers of Lord Shenmu." "It's just that the master has been asleep for too long, and some people's faith has been shaken a little. ”

"Shaken faith? No wonder I don't think the atmosphere in the city is right. Recently, I have received a lot less power of faith. Zhong Huan didn't care and said, "You go and call everyone for a meeting, just say that I have woken up." Rejoice everyone with this news. ”

For the first time, an apologetic look appeared on her face: "Gathering the believers to publish the information requires the approval of the Council of Elders." I can't do it alone, so I ask my master's forgiveness. ”

"It sounds like you've been pushed out of the center of power. Eshina, you've let me down. Zhong Huan sneered: "On my territory, you actually dare to kick my spokesperson out of the center of power." Your people are ambitious! ”

"Master, please calm your anger, there is a reason for this." Eshna paused slightly, and then continued: "Since our master fell asleep, we have suffered a great disaster. ”

In the second year of Zhong Huan's slumber, the Drow Elves once again led an army to attack.

Ekhina had been praying tirelessly in an attempt to wake up Zhong Huan, but all of them failed. Everyone said that this was because the city of the Wood Elves was expanding too quickly, and the power of the Divine Tree was excessively extracted.

For this, Ehana was rebuked by her people.

At the moment of great crisis, the two tree people who had been spawned by Zhong Huan before had a mutation, and they awakened their independent spiritual consciousness. Led by these two treants, they defeated the attacking Drow Elves.

As news of the defeat of the Drow army broke, more of his fellow Wood Elves were drawn to settle down. After that, the two Awakened Psychic Tree Men each taught the Wood Elves a lot of knowledge and skills.

Everyone originally came to the World Tree for shelter, but Zhong Huan had fallen into a deep sleep at that time, so many people were gradually attracted by those two tree people.

Therefore, the two tree men each pulled up a team of people.

Although everyone still nominally believes in the Divine Tree and accepts the protection of the Divine Tree, they have divided into three different camps.

A camp of gods led by Eshna that can borrow the power of the World Tree.

Believing that their own force is the best way to rely on, the ancient tree camp of war is mainly based on cultivating combat skills.

We want everyone to get close to nature, and propose to use the power of nature and not be superstitious about the power of the World Tree. The grain in Shenmu City was all grown by Degushu and his subordinates.

Among them, the Shenmu camp has the least people, because Zhong Huan is too stingy. Even if he was asleep, subconsciously, he didn't want to show his abilities to non-fanatics.

If you can't become a fanatic, you can't borrow the power of the Divine Tree.

In contrast, the other two are all under the banner of "no charge for entering the door for a month, Baojiao Baohui", and there is no mandatory requirement for faith.

After decades of such development, the Ancient Tree of War faction has encompassed all military units.

And the power of municipal logistics and other powers has been taken away by the forces of Degushu.

Ehina couldn't think about it, and after being forced to retreat, she played her last trump card: collect taxes!

On the territory of Lord Shenmu, everyone has to pay taxes to Lord Shenmu! This is a matter of course, and Eshna is sending someone to take care of the religious tax and the commercial tax.

At the same time, she also announced that no one or any organization other than the Shenmu Temple had the right to collect taxes.

The other two parties were angry at the plan.

Because until now, the World Tree still has absolute authority within the Wood Elf community, and rashly challenging the authority will only cause Shenmu City to fall apart.

The two Treants are also worried that Ashina, who is the spokesperson of the Sacred Tree, will jump over the wall. The two Treants were able to evolve into Ancient Trees thanks to the help of Eshina. If she has the means to counter the tree people in her hand, she really wants to make a fuss, and she may not know who will suffer more.

Therefore, everyone had to acquiesce to the leadership of the Shenmu Temple.

As a result, the leaders did not dare to take the lead in rebellion, and the people below did not dare to jump around.

After Eshna cut off the other two factions' sources of funding first, she made another surprise move and implemented a budget plan. The Shenmu Temple announced that the temple would pay for both administrative and military expenses.

It's just that the total amount of the annual budget is fixed, which leads to the two factions arguing over the budget ratio every year.

Ekhina used a big peach to distribute the benefits and directly stunned the remaining two families. Completely cut off the two plans to join forces to erect the Shenmu Temple.

As the saying goes, officials crush people to death. In terms of class, Eichna's rank is higher than anyone else's. As the designated spokesperson of Shenmu, she represents the will of Shenmu.

Although Eichna's behavior seemed like nonsense in Zhong Huan's eyes. According to the concept of earthlings, Zhong Huan will definitely ask Eshna, why do you say that you will collect taxes? Is the religious tax also charged together with the business tax?

What particularly upsets Zhong Huan is the religious tax, although he is nominally a godwood, but he is also an outright atheist. The more powerful a life is, the more likely it is to be an atheist. Because he is a god in the eyes of others, it is impossible to believe in other people: they are all foxes on the mountain, what do you tell me about fasting?

In the face of Zhong Huan's curiosity, Ekhina explained: In the system of the feudal system and in the concept of the wood elf, her approach has an incomparably strong rationality and legitimacy. As long as she is a priest of the Divine Tree, on this acre and three points of land, Ehna has unquestionable authority.

Since the establishment of the structure of "separation of powers" between the military, government and finance, the operation of Shenmu City has also entered the right track.

The three restrained each other, each seized a part of the power of Shenmu City, and they have been at peace for nearly a hundred years.

Zhong Huan's anger gradually subsided under Ashina's explanation, and things were not bad and irreparable.

In fact, the current situation is very good, and Zhong Huan woke up to find that he had become the Lord of Shenmu City. This is simply the beginning of the Otherworldly Farming Stream, right?

As for power or something? Zhong Huan occupies two powers: righteousness and finance. His power is unsurpassed by no one, and his position is unshakable. The divine power and monarchy are all in the hands of Zhong Huan.

After a walk, Eshna returned to the shade of the sacred tree.

By this time a group of probationary priests had gathered in the place. The fluctuation of the anger of the Divine Wood was felt most deeply by these priests. Everyone thought that something had happened to Shenmu, so they rushed back from all over the city.

Zhong Huan swept it with his divine thoughts, and found that the priests present were all female wood elves, and there was no male one.

And so it was! I subconsciously didn't want to respond to the call of the male elf. Zhong Huan is very satisfied with the spokesperson he has chosen, and beautiful women always look pleasing to the eye.

He even considered a name for the priestess group: "There are so many people, can it be called SNH48?" It's not bad to have them form a choir. ”

Before Zhong Huan's YY was over, several priestesses with anxious faces had already walked towards Eshina.
