Chapter 114: The World Tree
"Do you have a festival these days?" Seeing the fireworks rising in the sky from a distance, Lina pulled one of the elven guards beside her and asked, "Is there still any important event?"
"Holidays? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The elf guard was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "As for the fireworks, you can release them if you want." β
"Elves are very casual creatures, they do whatever comes to mind. Pannis smiled apologetically at the guard, pulled Lina back by the sharp horns of the Bigfoot deer, and explained in a low voice: "They are not like humans, they need to find the right time and the right reason before doing something, they don't need to do it at all, they follow their hearts anytime and anywhere, of course, all this must have a premise, that is, it will not cause adverse effects on others, at least not too much." β
"Do whatever you want?" Lina asked, with some unimaginability, "Don't you care about other people's strange eyes? β
"No, it's not that I don't care about other people's eyes at all. Pannis shook his head and said, "It's that no one will look at them differently, which is completely different from Free City." The rule of a free city is that as long as you don't violate the law, everything is free, and you can do anything, even if it violates ethics and morals. The elves, on the other hand, are just more casual, their freedom is engraved in the depths of their souls, and they don't need to show it by doing those exaggerated and excessive behaviors, they just follow their own hearts and show their truest thoughts and feelings. Well, by the way, be prepared, and soon you'll see something that will subvert your common sense. β
"Whoosh", another fireworks rushed into the sky, exploded at the top of the canopy, and the orange fireworks dragged the long tail flame to the highest point, exploding into tens of millions of sparks in the night, with the light and shadow left in the vision, scattered and falling like falling stars. Although the deer slowed down slightly, they still kept moving fast, and the direction of the fireworks was just outside the downtown area not far away. It didn't take long for the woods of the Arin trees to become more and more sparse, and finally there was hardly one to be found, and the girls' eyes suddenly widened, and they found that the center of the Elven King's Court was a very open space.
At the end of the line of sight, in the very center of the royal court, was a huge tree, and it was difficult to use accurate adjectives to describe the appearance of this tree, because it was so special. The giant tree is extremely tall, roughly estimated to be at least four to five hundred meters tall, and the giant tree is also extremely strong, with an average diameter of more than 100 meters, and the diameter of the roots at the bottom even reaches one hundred and fifty meters. The giant tree has an exaggerated canopy, the green canopy covers at least one or two square kilometers, and it is difficult to tell where the canopy is and where the sky is when you look up from a distance at night. The huge canopy of trees droops down countless aerial roots from the sky, all the way to the ground, where they are buried in the soil, and the aerial roots also grow dense green leaves, so that the area covered by the canopy forms a small forest of aerial roots. In the airroot woodland, thousands of tiny points of light appear and disappear around the airroots and leaves, and from time to time they also sprinkle pieces of fluorescent fine powder in flight, and the shining powder turns into a puff of glowing mist, slowly drifting in the air, making the giant tree and even the entire area beautiful like a dream.
Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for such a tall tree to exist in the Yala world, if a tree grows to such a tall and stout degree, even if it is not broken by the continuous wind blowing in the sky, it will be crushed by itself because the low end cannot support its huge weight, therefore, those trees that are more than 100 meters high and belong to the top layer in the Death Forest are already the limit of the growth of plants in the Yala world, and the trees that grow to a height of one hundred and fifty meters outside the royal court belong to the trees given by the gods, and the tree species has been blessed by the gods, even so, it can only grow to one hundred and fifty meters, and it can no longer break through this limitγ But now, looking at the giant tree in the distance, while feeling as small as a worm, as Pannis said, everyone's common sense has been turned upside down.
"This tree...... How could it exist. Catherine sat on the back of Bigfoot and leaned back as hard as she could, trying to get the full view of the tree at a distance, but her efforts failed unsurprisingly. The knight girl could only stammer, "How tall is it, how can it grow to this extent?"
"Five hundred and seventy-four meters. Fraer gave the exact height: "The latest measurements from fifty years ago, as for now, it should not have reached 575 meters, theoretically speaking, it will not grow one meter taller in fifty years." β
"Wait, you mean it's still growing?" Lina almost shouted, "I only know that there is a giant tree in the depths of the Elven Court, but no one has ever mentioned that this giant tree is so high...... It's an exaggeration, and no one told me that it still grows. β
"She's still alive and will certainly continue to grow. Vral knew very well what the expression of the first person to see the giant tree would make, so he was not surprised at all by the girl's reaction, but said with a smile on the expression of a prank victory: "As for how tall you can grow, even we don't know. β
"This ...... What kind of tree is this?" Catherine stared blankly for a moment before asking, "Even in the guild's records, there are no plants of this type. β
"Because there is only one tree in the whole world of Yara, you will not be able to see it. "It doesn't have a botanical name, but we habitually call it the World Tree." β
"The World Tree?" muttered Catherine, "do you think it is a world of its own, or do you think that the world was born from it, so you call it that?"
"The world was not born of her, but the world of the elves was born of her. "She is not only the origin of the elves, but also the origin of all the plants in the Yara world, and I don't think it's too much to call her the World Tree." β
"What do you mean?" Lina's face changed, looking at the World Tree and then at Fraer's face, her gaze moved several times before she instinctively lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think it's ......?"
"It's not that we think, it's what it is. "She was born of trees, she is the origin of all plants in the mortal world, she is the creator of the forest, she is the mother of our elves, understand? (To be continued.) )
