Chapter 415: A Fantastic Scourge
When they come to the territory of the World Tree, the elves naturally have a set of procedures for stationing, as well as routine rituals. And those ceremonies are not so much flashy etiquette as they are ritualization and solemnization of some routine inspections.
This was followed by a series of tidy-up camps and temporary shelters. Here, however, there was no king's palace or a place to receive guests. If you want to stay here, you have to do everything by yourself except for the consent of the host's family.
But none of this has anything to do with anyone. Except for two students who were tending to chores, the kitten who was lying on his stomach with his head as a nest was pulling everything he could, urging someone to hurry up and look at his body.
Although he has no beard and eyebrows that are not long enough to be pulled by cat's claws, his hair is not. In view of the fact that there is no guarantee that he will become strong when he is bald, someone is still as good as a stream, and with a regretful face, he throws the trouble of camping to the two young girls, and happily deserts.
Within the confines of the World Tree, there is a very strange peculiarity that the sight you see will be different depending on where you stand, that is, from different observation points. The only thing that lasts forever is the giant tree that reaches into the sky. But even if one tree doesn't turn into two, the appearance of the details will show more features that would otherwise be unobservable as you get closer.
This is also a reason why someone who walks under a tree and looks up at the tree will feel dumbfounded.
Where do the Shenmu Guards of Lahti live?
A: On the tree.
The huge tree was covered with high and low staircases, connecting the single rooms with windows, balconies and doorways dug into the tree. Others are simply wooden planks cobbled together to build tree houses on huge branches. The hanging vines pull the planks and connect them into a series of suspension bridges that crisscross to form an air passage.
There are also many herbaceous plants that take root in the pots on the balcony, and they grow outward like vines on the body of the World Tree, and they also bloom beautiful flowers. In this summer, it is still red, yellow, purple and white, all kinds of colors compete with each other.
It looks like a dream, there are not many traces of an axe and a chisel, and it is very close to nature. …… That's weird!
For those who don't understand, forget it, Lin Ke knows very well what the characteristics of this plant are. Regardless of the consciousness and soul, which are too metaphysical, the reason why the World Tree is hard and tall is because it serves as a bridge connecting the high-dimensional space to other worlds. At the same time, it is the first line of defense against the invasion of other worlds and high dimensions, and it can be said to be the only wall.
Moreover, the impact from other worlds, and the energy tide between the dimensional gap, are not just an occasional wave. When I was researching the World Tree Vadevo, the energy spikes that appeared from time to time were terrifying to someone.
If you rub a fireball into an apprentice magician, it will cost someone to define the standard of power as 10 mana. The magic gun used by Fen is normally consumed, with a bullet of about 1 to 1.5 mana.
The energy tide that invaded Vadwo was observed and recorded between one million and three million seven thousand mana. This value means that if the World Tree is lost, and that energy is allowed to invade the Lost Land, at least a radius of tens of kilometers will be left without any grass.
The World Tree, which can withstand this surge of energy, does not take into account the magic spear that someone is proud of and thinks is both a magic and a technological crystal. Fen once baptized the body of the Wadwo World Tree with a rain of bullets, but he didn't even scratch the bark, which shows its excellent performance in resisting energy.
And to live on such a tree, to someone's mind, it is like living on the beach with a house made of sand. I thought I lived in the first row of the sea view, the environment was beautiful, the atmosphere was good, in fact, when the waves came, it was a trivial matter to break down the house, and it was not surprising that even people were taken away with a wave.
Admittedly, from the perspective of fellow Homo sapiens, one would consider this to be a very dangerous place to live. And from the perspective of the World Tree, those elves who live on the body ...... It's like a parasite.
Lin Ke knew very well that the most important part of the World Tree was not the leaves, not the fruits, and not the legendary flower of the World Tree, which only existed for a moment. Rather, it is the natural lines on the bark of the trees, which are the true secret of the World Tree's ability to resist the surge of energy caused by dimensional gaps.
In order to resist the onslaught from more dimensions, the World Tree had to grow taller and larger. Because of this, there is enough area to form innate patterns and strengthen one's ability to resist the impact of energy, which is another key point of the World Tree's promotion.
What someone can help in advancing is the computation needed to find a way to a higher dimension and connect to another world. However, how the World Tree resists the energy feedback after the past comes more from the inheritance of their race, and it makes targeted protection according to the target. Perhaps someone can also help with the calculations and layout in this regard, provided that there is enough space to do such a plan.
For this to happen, the elves in the trees should not be living there.
And the gaps caused by those treehouses are not completely without side effects. At least in Lin's eyes, the World Tree Lahti was shrouded in gaps, just like his tree. The low-frequency energy surge that followed these gaps put this place in a whirlpool of energy chaos.
At this moment, the lich joined the elven sword dancer who was fighting with her. To be honest, someone really can't be jealous of these two. Although the cat lying on his head should be painted green, which is more in line with his current situation. Fen stood beside Lin, looked up at the appearance of the World Tree as well, and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”
"There are some ideas." Lin replied. When he turned his head, he saw that they were both staring at him, and of course someone knew that they were waiting for their thoughts. Lin thought for a moment and asked, "Liena, are you unclear about the situation here?" ”
"Well, I had the opportunity to be a member of the Shenmu Guard, you say." Because of Fin, the female elf, who was already friendly to a certain man, became closer. The conversation between the two is a little casual, not like before, which is a little hypocritical.
After getting the female elf's answer, Lin asked, "I guess, the elves who can live here for a long time must have a certain level of strength, and ordinary elves can't do it." That's right, right. ”
"yes, that's common sense. Especially children who are too young can easily get sick when they come to the realm of the World Tree. This is a rare phenomenon among elves. ”
"Then I guess that the elves who can live here for a long time will accumulate and progress faster than other elves."
"How do you know that? It's not our biggest secret, but it's rarely revealed to outsiders. ”
In response to Liena Titov's rhetorical question, Lin simply said: "As long as you come here and look at the environment, you can probably come to such a conclusion." Let me guess again, in the realm of the World Tree, there are occasionally unknown monsters? ”
"Human, how do you know this!"
The voice of the question came from the other side. The three people in the conversation were not too surprised, because the other party did not deliberately hide their tracks, and the three people in the conversation had already noticed it. It's just that most people don't know who the other party is, except for the female elf.
Emerging from the shadows is one of the current leaders of the Lahti Sacred Guard, Ronan Pitterson, an elven transcendent. The longbow and bowstring on its back look a little rough with vines, but there is absolutely no need to doubt its power. Looking at the vitality that can't be concealed, and the emerald green shoots will emerge from the bow's body, you know that it should also be part of the World Tree.
He strutted and questioned someone in a rather stern voice.
Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not hard to guess. After all, this place is full of holes, and it is not surprising when a monster enters the maze along those gaps. It would surprise me if it hadn't happened at all. ”
Riena was surprised by the conversation between the two, she had never heard of a monster in the heart of the World Tree. However, someone can make such a guess just by looking at it, and presumably he knows the reason, and there should be a way to prevent it. So she asked, "Lord Tripwood, since you know this, is there anything you can do to stop it?" ”
After a moment of silence, Lin did not answer directly.
The easiest way to do this, of course, is to sweep away the 'parasites' on the World Tree. This meant that the Shenmu Guards who lived above would have to be evicted from their homes to give the trees a chance to return to their full protective state.
But considering that in such an environment, these elves will be faster than the elves in the outside world, whether it is the accumulation of martial arts or the accumulation of magical powers. How to convince them to give up such a benefit is a difficult problem to solve, and it should not be done by anyone.
Of course, from the elves' standpoint, the best option is business as usual. The World Tree progresses in more difficult ways, and spends most of its accumulated energy on protecting its own parasites. Then the elves continued to take advantage of this environment to refine their martial arts and various accumulations.
No matter which option it is, it is not wishful thinking on the part of the elves, or they can make a decision with a single thought, but it also depends on the attitude of the World Tree. The difference between the Wood Elves and these founding Elves towards the World Tree is evident. At least in the Wood Elf tribe, you won't see anyone digging holes in trees and living in them.
So when you say your opinion, will it become a tipping point for the breakdown of the relationship between the two sides? Or let things go in a direction you don't want to see.
After all, those who have titles like 'guardians' don't necessarily really think about that race. Think of the guardian of the Silverbeard Dwarves, still locked up in his dreams, poisoned by those two incarnations. Thinking about the countless Terminator-type movies I've watched, Skynet has always had only one purpose.
These concerns are difficult to express on the spot. Of course, someone would also like to do more observations and calculations to see what the cost is behind each option. Maybe with the support of the data, there will be different options.
