"Great, Miss, we haven't been here for a while, and a tree has grown?" Zina was on the merchant ship, looking at the volcanic island not far from the sea, and a giant tree on the island looked like a giant umbrella.

"I didn't expect that when Ades told us about the City Tree, I thought it was just a slightly bigger tree, but I never thought it would be this big. Molly stood on the edge of the boat, startled by the exclamations of Xena and Catherine, and stepped out of the cabin to take a look.

At this time, Anna also ran out of the cabin, this time at the invitation of Adès, they all have to go to the volcanic island, Anna has been in the Black Iron Port for several years, in addition to being the regent of the territory and needs to deal with government affairs in the Black Iron Port, she is also Catherine's mother, and she must be with her daughter.

If she runs around, in case Catherine has an accident, the inheritance of Navabila County will become a mess, and some Anslow family members may come to fight for the ownership of the territory, so Anna must be safe in Black Iron Harbor with Catherine.

Now that the enemies around the territory have been almost eliminated, and Nancy and Hunter are also with them, so this trip is relatively safe, and Anna will be relieved to take Catherine out for a walk, as a vacation.

"This is the City Tree, can you control a city independently?" Anna had heard of this legendary tree, and knew that there were such a large tree on the volcanic island of Adès, but she had never seen it with her own eyes, and now she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw it, such a huge tree was really rare.

"Mom, the air here is so fresh, much better than the Lord's Mansion in Black Iron Harbor. Little Lori, who was standing next to Xena before, saw Anna come out. Like a monkey, he rushed to Anna's side. Holding his mother's arm, he reminded him that the air here was a little different.

Catherine is also grown up now. Ades was only two or three years old when he first saw her, and now he has become a little Lori, and the little girl of six or seven years old is the most lively and cute time, so this little Lori is loved by everyone in the territory, and the flowers are blooming.

"You guys have a close relationship with Adès, and the City Tree has grown, and you're doing a lot of good. Hearing the shouts from outside the cabin, Nancy also woke up from her meditation, and only then did she step out of the hatch to find the giant tree on the island. I can't help but sigh a little at the luck of Molly and Anna.

"Your Excellency, what benefits will we have?" Jane was mainly responsible for the collection of magical materials in Estuary Town during this time, so she often dealt with Nancy, and was relatively familiar, and as soon as Nancy's words fell, she walked up to the magician and asked about the benefits.

"The branches of the City Tree can be used to make weapons, and the sap can be used to refine elixirs containing life energy, which are supernatural artifacts that can prolong life. As long as the City Tree grows healthily, you may be able to live like an elf. Nancy explained a little bit about the role of the City Tree, and Adès had told Anna and Molly about these things before, but Xena and Jane didn't know what was going on.

In the intelligent beings of the continent. The average life expectancy of the average human person is only about 60 years, and the life expectancy of malnourished farmers or vagrants will be even shorter. Professionals and aristocrats have a longer lifespan, but at most about 80 years.

Compare it horizontally. Ordinary elves have a lifespan of 2,000 years, while high-level sun elves and moon elves can live up to 5,000 years.

The average dwarf has a lifespan of three hundred years. Professionals can reach 800 years, while the human race only has a lifespan longer than halflings and humanoids, so when Xena and Jane first heard that the sap of the City Tree could be refined to increase lifespan, they were immediately a little unsettled and frightened.

Removing all subjective conditions and subjective consciousness, every intelligent creature wants its life to be as long as possible and reproduce as many offspring as possible, this is an instinct, and Zina and they are no exception, after learning the role of the city tree, these two ladies have a lot of things to think about psychologically.

In the past, helping Adès was completely according to Molly's request, entirely because Ades was Molly's partner, and Molly's will was the first element, Adès had helped the Anslow family, and their reciprocation was the second factor.

As for the others, such as Ades' tall and handsome appearance, it was not the main reason why they helped him, and it can even be said that the two of them had never thought about themselves or subjectively asked for anything, but now they are starting to waver a little.

"Adès, this kid, planted the city tree entirely because of the people around him, he didn't ask for it himself, you all know, his bloodline is different from ordinary people. Hunter also stepped out of the cabin at this time, looking out at the towering city tree, and said slowly.

Hunter knew from the beginning that Ades' bloodline was a dragon vein, and Ades's parents had told him about this problem, and his ancestors had awakened, but when he arrived in the area of Ades's grandfather, the concentration of the bloodline was reduced, and it was basically impossible to reactivate, so he ran out of the family.

The ship gradually sailed into the harbor, and on the dock, Adès was already waiting there to welcome everyone.

"Uncle Clifford, is this really a tree? I've never seen anything this big. After resting and eating, Adès took Anna and Catherine to the crater lake of the old caldera to visit the City Tree.

"Of course, this is a tree, a magical plant, and there are not many plants on the continent that can compete with it. Adès whispered in response to the girl's question.

"And as big as it?"

"Of course, to the northwest of us, far, far away, there is a great forest, called the Most High Forest, and there are some trees like this one. Seeing that little Lori was interested in this, Ades began to teach her some geographical knowledge of the continent, which was entertaining.

Anna followed behind Ades with a smile, Molly held her arm, and the two sisters-in-law looked at the giant tree, and sighed a little in their hearts, for high-level professionals, it is not strange to find one or two things that can increase their lifespan, but it is really very rare to find such things like Ades, who can provide such things in a steady stream.

When the City Tree matures, the annual sap alone can produce a certain amount of life elixir, and with this, he can recruit some high-level professionals, even legendary professionals, who urgently need to increase their lifespan.

It seems that in the future, the center of Navabira County will no longer be the castle of the Viscount of Black Iron Harbor, but this small volcanic island. (To be continued......)
