"My lord, it's been three days, and this big tree is still growing!"

In the dock area, a cargo ship between the volcanic island and the Barony of Borden had just docked at the berth, and all the sailors on board who had no task on board were already standing on the edge of the ship, overlooking the city tree halfway up the mountain, and kept shouting in surprise.

The ship had left for Barony Borden on the first day of the planting of the City Tree, and had now returned from Barony, and found that the tree, which had grown seventy feet tall, was now even greater, at least more than one hundred and twenty feet.

If they were lucky enough to come to the small island in the volcanic lake, they would find that not only did they grow in height quickly, but even the trunk of the tree grew very thick, and now it may take five people to surround the trunk completely.

"Yes, tall trees are not without in the forest, and I have seen taller trees than this one, but this is the first time I have seen them grow so fast. An experienced veteran sailor also marveled that it was a miracle.

On the mainland, there are many tall trees because of the magic plants, and trees over 300 feet tall abound in the forest.

The city trees in the crater lake are not surprising in terms of height, but the main thing is that the rate of growth is a little scary.

In the villa in the middle of the mountain, Ward ran into the study in a hurry, and shouted to Ades, who was reading the information: "Ade, the city tree has begun to digest the fire element underground, I just found that the veins of those leaves are beginning to appear red, which is evidence of absorbing the fire element!"

Ades put down the information in his hand, clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped his forehead a few times and said, "There were already such signs yesterday, but didn't you expect it early in the morning?" And that's one of its main features. ”

"I didn't expect it to be so soon, considering that the underground lava lake is a long way from the surface. It's not like in the Dark Regions, where you can find a lava river by digging a pit. ”

Ades smiled and said, "That's as exaggerated as you say. If you can dig a pit and dig magma, then how can you live in people, it's so hot. ”

Ward's exaggerated statement was despised by Adès, who sneered and changed the subject: "You are its owner, have you communicated with it?

"That's so fast, at least it will take more than a month, and when the growth of the city tree is completely stable, these functions can be gradually established. Adès shook his head, Ward was too anxious.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry. The magic furnace is already working, and if you have enough energy, the metal in your vault will soon be consumed, and now it's time to start preparing the metal resources. ”

"Oh?" Ades asked, raising an eyebrow and a little surprised, "The furnace is so efficient?" ”

"There is energy, ruthless and endless energy, I'm a little scared now, how big a magma lake does it take to gather such a huge amount of fire energy?"

In fact, both Adès and Ward don't understand it, and this is not the problem of having more fire elements. Instead, Ades added a source power rune to it, and under the domination of the supreme energy of this multiverse, the low-level energy naturally moved closer to the high-level energy, which was the main reason.

"I communicated with the big tree. Its root system has already explored the location of the magma lake underground, but the growth of the root system in the past few days has not fully detected the size of the magma lake. I was also a little surprised and scared. ”

Adès was also very worried about this problem, and he had used his divine mind to probe it before. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, the magma lake became bigger again. If this continues, sooner or later, the crust above the magma lake will not be able to suppress the magma lake, and when the volcano erupts, the volcanic island will definitely be in ruins, and there will not even be any slag left.

"How much energy can this city tree absorb and digest, and can it reduce the capacity of the magma lake?" Ward also frowned, he was now a member of the volcanic island, and he didn't want to lose this island with infinite energy.

"It depends on the absorption and transformation ability of its root system, if the root system grows fast, then at least it can maintain balance. ”

Adès stretched, stood up and walked to the small balcony, looking at the harbor in the distance.

Ward and they didn't know, in fact, the root system of the big tree now is crazy to occupy all the land under the volcanic island, and even under the seabed outside the harbor, the shadow of its fibrous roots has appeared.

It can be said that in just three days, it already has the foundation to monitor the entire volcanic island.

As soon as Adès touches the City Tree, he can use its body to explore where its roots extend at will.

Ward followed, and also stood on the balcony, he asked Ades with some curiosity, "I heard that this tree species is a little different from that of the Mage Academy, and has some more functions?"

Adès nodded and said: "The Great Druid of the Church has extended the original function, such as the function of absorbing metal, and the extended function is to convert the absorbed energy into life crystals, which is also an atavistic phenomenon, but the efficiency may not be as high as that of the Tree of Life."

In addition, when absorbing water, the minerals in it can also be stored, for example, now we are at the seaside, we can directly absorb seawater and retain the salt.

At that time, the tree will differentiate into a tree root and transform it into a storage organ, and we only need to clean up the salt crystals in this storage organ every day, which is equivalent to having a stable channel to obtain salt. ”

Ward blinked, and after a while, he said, "Doesn't that mean that as long as the tree is willing, everything in the ground can be transformed?"

"That's pretty much what it means, but you have to calculate the cost, for example, rocks, he can also purify and transform, but transformation requires energy, and it's not cost-effective to exchange energy for stones. Adès told Sù Ward the simplest truth.

"This is also true, but you may have to keep these features secret, otherwise it is estimated that many people will come back to trouble you. Ward reminded Adès.

Ades sneered contemptuously and said, "It may have been more troublesome before, but now I'm not afraid, there is a magic array here plus the City Tree." Even if it's a legend, I'm sure I'll be able to trap him. ”

As he spoke, Adès held out his palm. In an instant, a large mass of fire elements gathered in his palm, and it could erupt with violent destructive power at any time.

"Is this the Flame Hand?"

"It's not. It's a modified spell, I named it the Flaming Cone, and it's powerful and instantaneous. ”

Ward swallowed and asked, "How many shots a day?"

Ades glanced at him and said, "As long as the energy is enough, the amount is unlimited." ”

"Wow! this is terrifying, the fire is fiercer than the legendary mage's magic tower. ”

"Well, with the mage's hand, this platform is a turret with unlimited firepower, plus some of the City Tree's defensive features. Basically, there is no fear of any enemy coming. ”

"Ade, Ades!" Winnie hurriedly ran into the study, but found that there was no one on the desk, so she shouted loudly.

"On the balcony too. Ades retracted his hand, and the fire elemental energy was no longer in his hands, and it quickly dissipated.

"Ade, there's something wrong in the north. ”

When Ades heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Another demon has been found in the forest?"

Winnie was gasping for air. Hearing Ades's question, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not the north of our territory, it's the north of the royal capital." ”

"Oh, it scared the hell out of me. ”

"The defense of the royal capital has been broken through by the demon. Now that the demons are attacking fiercely, and all the temples in the kingdom of Osler are beginning to gather priests and Templars. "I haven't straightened out my gas yet. Yunni hurriedly told Adès the news she had gotten.

"Is there an order for our support?"

"No, not at all. ”

"It's weird. Adès touched his chin. Some don't understand.

Ward reminded beside him, "Is it true that Hunter has communicated with the royal capital?"

The last time Adès had discussed with Hunter a solution, which was the tactic of flanking the demons from the north and south. After returning, Ades mentioned this plan to everyone a little, and Molly and Anna were very much in favor of it.

"There is a possibility. Winnie was still gasping for breath and kept her words as short as she could.

"Another question is, the demon is so powerful, there is no reason why it can be broken through so easily?"

Ward couldn't answer the question, and he shook his head to say he didn't know.

"Ade, Adès!"

"On the balcony too. ”

Same situation, different people.

Evis hurried in.

"Ambo's two temples are in full swing!"

"Well, such a coincidence?" said Adès staring at Evis in surprise, the news coming a little suddenly.

"According to the intelligence, it was the forces on the side of the Ocean Temple that wanted to ambush the Lord of the Storm in the suburbs, and I don't know what the reason was, they were ambushed, and now Ambo is in chaos. "Evis's physique is not as weak as that of Winnie, and even if she is in a hurry to come to the study, she is not out of breath like her sister.

"Molly, what's the building on there?" Although Ades felt that it was a bit of a coincidence that these two things happened together, now was not the time to delve into it.

"She asked you how to settle the matter in the north, and whether it was completely left to Hunter or what?" Evis told Molly's inquiry in the information.

Ades frowned, supported the balcony railing with one hand, thought for a moment and said, "Ignore the royal capital's side first, let Molly do her best to find out what the hell is going on over there in Ambo." ”

Yun Ni also said at this time: "That's right, even if the demon captures the royal capital, it will take a while to kill the south, and the gods will not ignore the demon wreaking havoc here, there will definitely be a countermeasure, we can just wait with peace of mind."

On the contrary, this port is stuck between the town of Hekou and the Black Iron Port, if it is not done well, it will hinder the passage of our fleet, so we must deal with it carefully. ”

Ades nodded, and then said with some hesitation: "Actually, there is a question that I have always puzzled, there are demons in the Barony of Boden, there are demons in Black Iron Port, and there are demons in Volcanic Island, so why is there no Anbo?"

"Hiss...... "Everyone has never thought of this problem, and now that Ades said it, they all gasped, yes, why didn't the security expo have?"

"Is it because there are two temples there? But there is also a small altar of the Spicy Queen in the Black Iron Harbor. ”

Originally, there should be a temple of the Lord of Dawn in Black Iron Harbor, which was the building that Molly and Anna should have built, but after the temple ignored the bastard incident, they were a little delayed in establishing the temple.

If it hadn't happened to be discovered that the bastard had colluded with the demon, it was hard to say whether the temple would have come to save them, after all, in the current situation, the temple seemed to have given up on them.

"I'm going to send a message with Evan to warn Molly and Anna, in case this incident is really provoked by the devil, then it will be strict. Yunny knew that the matter was urgent, and pulled Eves and walked out.

"I'm also going to correspond with the teacher, your speculation is terrifying. "Ward thought that if Ambo was taken over by demons, then the town of Estuary would be locked down, and it would be very unsafe, and he wanted to talk to Nancy about this, and it was best to get the support of the Academy.

Ades didn't stop them, and waved them to hurry up and inform the people who should know about it.

He actually had a question in his heart, but there was no evidence or logical chain, and he didn't tell everyone.

Seeing the three of them walk out of the study, Adès turned to look at the harbor, held the railing with both hands, looked out at the sea, and whispered to himself: "What an eventful season." ”

"Priest, the gates are closed, what now?"

"Who leaked the news, and why was the city being held by the people of the Storm Temple?"

In a grove on the outskirts of Ambo, the officers of the Sea Temple, who had been hunted down, were gathering to discuss the failure of the ambush.

"We must go back to the temple as much as possible, otherwise the people over there will capture the temple, and we will really have no way out. The priest said to the remaining priests with a gloomy expression.

"How do you go back? The gates are closed, shall we climb the wall to get in?"

At this time, the defects of the priest's lack of prestige were exposed, the previous priest died on the volcanic island, and he didn't even leave the scepter of inheritance, the priest ascended to the throne in a hurry, and there were many people in the church who disobeyed him.

"I can only take four people back to the temple. "The priest still has some hole cards left by his predecessor, and the talisman that teleports directly back to the temple is one of them.

The remaining six priests hesitated, and in the end, two of them could not go back, and in the field, there were chasing soldiers behind, so it could be said that they were nine deaths.

The priest who had just spoken and questioned the priest had already regretted it.

In fact, those who have been able to follow the escape to the present are all priests who are closer to the priests, and the opponents have already been cannon fodder as the broken queen at the beginning.

But intimacy is also divided into distant and near relationships, and there will always be some differences between lineage and alliance.

The priest first chose those who had been following him and silently supported him, leaving three who were not too close, and letting them find a selection method that they agreed to by all three, leaving two in the field.

If Ades were here, he would definitely say that this was not a ploy to kill three soldiers. (To be continued......)
