Chapter 161: Hive City and the Gift of the Star God

The World Tree Capital was clearly not designed for humans, but it was transformed by humans to suit their lives.

The more Anfa and her team of knights walked all the way to the fourth level of the World Tree Capital, the more determined Ian became after seeing a lot of scenery along the way.

If Ian's guess is correct, the World Tree Capital is essentially a giant empty ship tens of thousands of meters long - the super giant is more than tens of thousands of meters - its internal space is naturally very spacious for a warship, but it is not large for a city, especially the cross-section of the urban area, which is the same as the imperial capital, in fact, it is only the area of an ordinary small town.

However, its urban area is very high – almost three kilometers high on each floor.

From here, it can be seen that this super-giant airship was not designed for humans from the beginning, but for some kind of extremely slender and even flying creature that resembles vines or fungi...... Of course, it could be some kind of moss or algae, or even aquatic life, and the original World Tree Capital may have been filled with a lot of water..... In short, it's not for people to live in.

However, humans have always been able to unleash their creativity.

After thousands of years of transformation, to now, this 3,000-meter-high vast space is not empty, under the repair and construction of the elves of the past dynasties, there are many hanging platforms and wall towers hanging on the four walls of the city area, they are staggered, and the huge metal skeleton between the city supports each other, constituting a complex three-dimensional city.

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like a beehive.

The urban districts within the World Tree Capital, each of which is like a huge beehive, with countless compartments, small buildings, public halls and residential apartments densely distributed in three dimensions, standing on the bottom floor of the city and looking up, there is no dome in sight, only layers of staggered overpasses, pedestrians and metal urban support skeletons.

and a variety of lights and wind flows.

The city is crowded, there are naturally many people, and the density of elves in the World Tree Capital even exceeds that of the Imperial Capital..... No, that's not a level at all, the population of the imperial capital is not large compared to its area, every resident is carefully selected, and even needs a residence permit to settle in, so there are quite empty neighborhoods inside the city.

But the World Tree Capital is not only structured like a beehive, but also packed with people like a beehive, under a variety of neon advertising signs, crowded people bustling through the streets to their destinations.

Among them are rich businessmen in bright clothes, and there are craftsmen whose pants are washed and colored, but no matter how rich they are, they can't walk casually inside the World Tree Capital, so they can only reluctantly line up one line after another, walking through one narrow overpass passage after another.

So, what path are the real powers taking?

The answer is flying.

Among the many suspended buildings and supporting skeletons in the urban area, there is an area that is quite spacious compared to the inner passage of the city, which is the passage where the elven nobles walk on a daily basis.

The backpack behind Anfa's knight guards is a kind of jetpack, which can use wind source to create a stable floating area, and Ian and his party are surrounded by knights, flying steadily in mid-air, through crowded urban areas.

Boisterous. Bustling.

Even Ian, who came from Earth, had to admit that Canaan Moore was the bustling World Tree Capital.

The urban districts within the World Tree Capital are filled with all kinds of towering buildings, like a beehive-like structure that allows the city to occupy a height of 3,000 meters one by one, so that the area of a small city is stacked with hundreds of floors, so that each urban area can accommodate millions of people.

With such a large population, the garbage produced, the materials and energy needed, the ventilation channels inside and outside, and even the maintenance of law and order are all in order.

Ian saw a huge pyramid-shaped hive in the corner of the city, from which a large number of disc-shaped beetles swarmed, weaving under people's feet, cleaning every trash and stain, and their sturdy shells could tolerate the trampling of all people, and even some children liked to stand on them, laughing and letting the cleaning bugs carry themselves.

The vast flow of energy from the Dyson cloud and the artificial sun brings the wind, which originates from the natural movement of the wind source, which is used by the Canaanite Moors to form a complex wind flow channel that runs through all urban areas.

These wind passages are the air passages that Ian and others walked, and in addition to being convenient for flying, they will also ensure that the air inside the World Tree Capital is clean and can interact safely with the outside world.

Similarly, the vast flow of energy also illuminates the interior of the entire World Tree Capital, where there is a planting area that is almost like the Xiahui Collar Agricultural Building, where bright sun lamps release essentia and dense crops are planted on top of each other.

It is no wonder that while many people expressed novelty, the elves of Canaan Moore only expressed their appreciation and interest in the technology of agricultural buildings, because they had seen similar designs before, but they did not have the need to design a building for planting.....

When Ian saw the planting area, he felt a little stunned. Of course, the World Tree Capital is not short of resources, and the huge Gaia Garden centered on it is incredibly rich in material, probably second only to the Quenore Plains with weather controllers around the Imperial Capital.

Therefore, the elves do not have the desire to develop intensive planting, but only accommodate part of the planting area by virtue of the unique environment of the world's tree capital.

If the elves were in demand, it would not be his turn to sell agricultural buildings to the mountain people and the lords of the Southridge Province. But they didn't.

In addition, sheriffs and patrol knights wearing flying backpacks travel through the air, they patrol every corner of the World Tree Capital, and in the event of a disturbance or strife in a certain place, they will draw a deft arc in mid-air to reach the corresponding compartment and immediately deal with all disputes.

However, this is very rare, not because the elves are of good character, but because everyone knows that this is the capital of the World Tree, the headquarters of the Ten Kings' Blood, and they can promise people a happy life here, but they will not allow anyone (except themselves) to cause disturbances here.

Whoever dares to disobey will die. Whoever is willing to abide by it will be able to live happily and freely.

"Aren't there a lot of vendors here?"

Ian turned his head to the side, they had just swept through a hanging area that was probably a food court, where there were more than a dozen Canaan Moore restaurants with different flavors, pastries, barbecue and a huge insect meat feast, which made the boy sigh with emotion: "I will definitely come here for a visit when I have time in the future."

"It's said that it's a small vendor, but the merchants who can set up shop in the World Tree Capital definitely have a background behind it. Either it's a relative of the head of a big company, or it's a chain brand set up by the head office itself."

Anfa knew very well what Ian meant, and she shook her head slightly: "With such a dense population, the World Tree Capital can still maintain good law and order, and there are no underworld or thieves who collect protection money and theft, just for the simplest reason - everyone here is closely related to the blood of the Ten Kings, even the seemingly inconspicuous fruit merchants, maybe they have a channel to contact the head office."

"Everyone is an employee of the group of companies, and if they make a mistake, they leave a record and are expelled from the World Tree Capital..... Leave behind this bustling city full of opportunities. Who will?"

"After all, it's a city with crystal board terminals."

Ian nodded slightly, he understood. The information technology of the elves is very strong, and they can really lock every elf in real time, which is the biggest confidence in stability..... Absolute information mastery.

On Earth, even the federal government must be assisted by the supervision of the AI to access the information of civilians, and personal privacy is guaranteed, allowing some dangerous elements to hide their malicious intentions through various means. But in Canaan Moore, although the level of information technology is not as good as that of Earth, the blood of the ten kings can access anyone's information at will, and absolutely control a person's past.

Domination intensity is not at all a level.

It's no wonder that every Canaan Moor doesn't hesitate to say that phrase – welcome to the Tree Capital of the World, one of Terra's most welcoming and bustling cities.

It certainly deserves that title, not at all

Exaggeration.

The Ember Lantern Family's mansion is located in the lower middle of the highest point on the fourth floor of the World Tree Capital.

In the hive city, where every inch of land is a bit cheap, the blood of the ten kings has built an extremely large three-dimensional mansion with great luxury, which looks like a huge white hexagonal prism from a distance, and the surface is made of luminous inscription plates to create a projection of the ember lamp family's family crest that loops back and forth, in addition to this, there is also a projection of the head of the ember lamp family, the mother of Anfa, Lady Xiareta.

She smiled softly as she looked down on the entire Hive City, like a queen.

No..... In fact, as the head of the Ten Kings Blood family, a powerhouse at the peak of the fourth energy level, she is undoubtedly the queen. It's just that the social system in Canaan Moore makes her more approachable, and she is called the Canaan Moore Standing Committee.

The leaves of this sublimating plant emit a dim glow like a setting sun, and those who shine on it will feel at ease and serenity, making it easier to heal the fatigue of a day's work and make it easier to fall asleep.

Its trunk is as strong and shiny as crystal, and it is very beautiful, so it is also an excellent ornamental tree.

"This is my home."

Anfa led Ian and the others into the mansion, and the internal pre-function hall was spacious and bright, even a little too wide, enough to accommodate the armored operation. Sensing something was not quite right, Ian scanned his surroundings with his Prophetic Vision, and realized that the location of the shoe cabinet in the average person's home was actually a gnaku, with a whole row of armor standing in perfect condition.

- Is this a mansion? Isn't this just a base of operations? Also in the welcome hall, will your family use armor to put a row to pay tribute to the distinguished guests?

Ian wanted to complain a little, but held back. Because he himself is like this, next to the lord's mansion of Xia Hui is the camp of the Magnetic Storm Armor Troops, and there is even a Cyclops battery on the top floor, which is not much better.

I can only say that this is the lord of the land of Terra.jpg "It doesn't feel very big. Feel...... It's not as good as my lair!"

This is a comment made by Xio, and neither Anfa nor Ian replied - you and the real dragon compare the lair? As soon as the real dragon sits down towards the mountain, he can announce that the entire mountain range is his lair, and if he flies around eight hundred miles, he can say that he is taking a walk on his own balcony, what is the need to compare?

Especially when Xi'o recently moved out to live alone, it is the time period when he is most excited and likes his secret base, so there is no need to say more.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the mansion.

It was a bright girl, her emerald green hair curled up at the back of her head, a pair of pale golden eyes shining like the sun, shining with a dazzling light, a purple-black off-the-shoulder gown set off a slender neck and rounded shoulders that were whiter, and she wore a silver ember pendant around her neck, which was more luxuriously decorated than that on Anfa's neck.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, Master Gravi's eyes were solemn, and even Xi'o looked slightly sideways, looking a little surprised. And who is she?

Another Anfa, of course!

Even Ian took half a second to react, who is this girl who looks more temperamental, stronger, and looks exactly the same as Anfa - that is, of course, another prosthetic body of Anfa, but the strength of this prosthetic body has the peak of the second energy level, close to the strength of the third energy level, which makes a significant gap with the first energy level of Anfa on his side.

Under the influence of the nature of life, even if it is the same appearance, the high energy level will be more brilliant and moving than the low energy level.

At the same time, Ian was keenly aware that the stronger Anfa prosthetic body had more features of dragon blood, the first energy level Anfa only had some scales on the neck and behind the ears, while the second energy level peak Anfa not only had these, her eyes were also vertical, and the slightly raised dragon horns could be faintly seen between the coiled long hair, and the slender and slender fingers were more sharp than normal girls, some close to the dragon people like Sister Yingguang.

After the appearance of the dress Anfa, the original

「.... It's a subtle feeling. The dragon soul is amazing."

Ian looked a little strange at the long skirt and Anfa left

direction, and looked at his side again, and didn't feel anything wrong, and smoothly took over the leading position of the dress Anfa - even subtle has a kind of Minotaur feeling? Dress Anfa Minotaur took up a long skirt Anfa ...... No, what the hell is this?

It's not that Ian is hypocritical, although Theo also has a prosthetic, but most of her prosthetic body is gone, leaving only the girl's prosthetic body pinched with her own appearance, and it doesn't give Ian the feeling of having multiple bodies of the same friend at the same time.

Each one is a security law, and each one is not a complete security law. Under the power of these true dragons, the boundaries between self, body, and soul are so blurred that human morality and common sense simply cannot define their logic and actions.

That's it..... Extraordinary creatures.

Under Anfa's guidance, Ian walked briskly through the corridors and rooms of the Ember Lamp Mansion to a hidden vault in the depths.

Anfa himself carried his skirt and trotted into the storeroom, and then brought out a box closed by pure crystal, and the box was surrounded by bright inscription seals, in fact, it was not held by Anfa at all, but floating in the palm of the girl's hand.

"That's it, Ian, this is the key artifact we've found in the Xenomorph Institute.... "

Anfa had wanted to say a few more about why she was able to get it before her exploration even began, and where she found it.

But the elf girl soon noticed that Ian's expression was stunned.

The silver-cyan light swirled in the young man's eyes, this is the phenomenon of the psionic person releasing the psionic energy to reach the limit, although Anfa knows that he has not opened the box yet, but for Ian, all this is not important at all, before he opened the box, he has already seen the strange things in the box, and saw the extraordinary essence.

- Is this a prophet? The multiple seals that could cut off the prying eyes of the fourth or even fifth energy level couldn't cut off their gaze.....

Anfa thought so. No wonder everyone says that the power of the prophet is the real miracle.....

For Ian, it's all pretty straightforward.

The golden light swirled around the tiny box, like the canopy of the tree capital of the world, haunting the stellar Dyson clouds.

[Fragments of the Simulated essentia Computing Chip] [Fifth Energy Level, Defective, Authority, Edible]

[The result of the pre-era civilization of Terra gathering the power of all civilizations and trying to reproduce the gift of the star gods.] Although it is completely impossible to reproduce the essence of the Rite of the Star God due to the level of civilization, under the development of the forerunners, the essentia computing chip that surpasses the current civilization level has been born, providing the foundation for a technological leap for the civilization of the pre-Terra era.

[The essentia computing chip has been broken, and only a few fragments remain. Due to the loss of the energy supply module, the essentia computing chip loses its high-energy level essence. Due to detachment from the core ontology, the essentia computing chip loses database support.

[Essentia: 3.0012 Authority Units]

【……】

essentia, computing chips...... Gift of the Star God..... Pioneer..

Ian took a deep breath, he calmed himself down, and said the key word in his mind: "There is also a fifth energy level..... The light is above."

Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, the white-haired young man's heart had already set off a storm: "Could it be that this is an imitation made by the pioneers in imitation of the silver chip back then? And the essence of the silver chip ..... It's the so-called ......."

"Gift of the Star God?"
