Chapter 1162: Emissary of the World Tree
And no matter which pair of aristocratic fathers and sons are discussing, how to eat and wipe the opponent in a dignified manner. When a magician returns home, he has to deal with another creditor and deal with his debts.
As the saved Marquis of Falshid wondered, how was he found? Lin was able to find this target to be rescued, not by luck, but by the help of external forces.
The Arcane Eye, which had been relied on the most in the past, didn't come in handy this time.
A very simple calculation, the largest Arcane Eye device possessed by the Lin Institute could scan a circular area with a radius of about ten kilometers in one go after being dropped to a certain height.
But it takes time to get a complete model, and it takes about two to three days to replicate a 10-kilometer radius with reality.
In these two to three days, considering the complexity of the terrain, the Marquis and his entourage are estimated to have traveled 70 to 80 kilometers.
To put it simply, without lowering the standard, by the time the Arcane Eye completes the scanning of an area, the target it was looking for has already run to a place that is several times the distance. However, lowering the scanning standards of the Arcane Eye will most likely not even be able to achieve the accuracy required for facial recognition, let alone finding someone.
With such efficiency, the Arcane Eye has been excluded from the available tools. There was not even an idea of improving it, because it had been improved to the point that it was useful, and the Marquis was dead to the point that he could play the drum.
According to Kavi Gong's intelligence network, judging his heir, the Marquis of Farshid's last move is to enter the secret forest. And then the 'forest' is a regional feature that gives someone a hint that the World Tree can help with this? So Lin went to the negative floor of the second-plane tower, reversed the high seat that had been built, and asked for help.
In the past, the World Tree would have been used to communicate with the plants, so as to find the whereabouts of the Marquis of Farshid. The difficulty lies in how to convey the appearance and characteristics of the marquis to the plants through the World Tree, and then send back the correct information.
Even if you are the same human being, you will have the illusion that they all look the same when you look at people of different countries and skin colors, let alone plants looking at animals. Just getting plants to tell the difference between humans and monkeys is a big problem.
But, that was the way it used to be.
The difference now is that with the World Tree as the eye of the array, the Lost Continent-level magic array has been successfully arranged. Because this new continent-level magic array is connected to the leylines, it not only invisibly increases the upper limit of power, but also benefits the creatures living in the maze and the magic that can work, and strengthens the 'senses' of the World Tree.
To use an analogy, the entire Lost Earth Planet is a large, ever-changing real-time database.
In the past, people had to use dirt methods to collect data, that is, to see with their eyes, to hear with their ears, and to expand the scope of their collection by walking with their feet. Even with the addition of magic and the enhancement of the ability to collect information, it is still a drop in the bucket for the whole world.
The World Tree Peak manages the one-third of an acre covered by its own shade, and can achieve complete control within this range. They are much stronger than humans, but they can't move around, after all, they are still plants on their roots.
But now, the World Trees that have activated the Lost Leylines and connected them together have the ability to access this 'Lost Ground Database', and they are extremely detailed. So what Lin has to do is to search for the target he wants in this huge database, that is, the Marquis of Farshid.
And that's what a certain traverser is better at than most people in the realm, and has been doing. So Lin found the Marquis and then used the flashing technique to rescue them. Incidentally, it has nothing to do with cause and effect or human hearts, and there is no historical record, just the information of the moment, so the difficulty is not as perverted as flipping through the omniscient book hidden in the void.
Since you can do this with the World Tree, of course, you have to pay for it. Even if it's just a promise to be fulfilled in the future, it is necessary to make it clear. Before, because it was urgent to save people, I didn't talk about this matter, which was equivalent to signing a blank check and going out, and waiting for someone to open conditions afterwards.
So waiting in the house of the Holy City of Estali was one of the two ancient ones, the messenger of the World Tree Eugtrasil, and the sword maid Miriam.
The status of the Sword Blade Handmaiden in the Wood Elf tribe of Yuktrasil is second only to the nominal head of the tribe, and six of the twelve martial arts under the high priest belong to Wu. Among the tens of thousands of wood elf tribes, her status is in the top thirteen.
The Wood Elves tribe of Yggtrasil, whose race belongs to the Golden Elves, has nothing to say about its beauty and figure. After a few years, the elven robes worn on them are no longer the ancient styles of thousands of years ago, but have a lot of personalized improvements. Of course, in order to facilitate hand-to-hand combat, the robe on Miriam's body will not have too many useless additional decorations.
One of the most peculiar features is the strip of spell cloth that binds to Miriam's eyes. The hidden function is unknown, but it also brings out an open secret, that Miriam is blind.
In a tribe of wood elves that are particularly particular about eugenics, and can even 'eliminate' crippled young children, it is a miracle that a blind man can climb to the status that Miriam is now. This also shows how good Miriam is in other ways, so good that as the sole dictator of the Wood Elf tribe, the World Tree Yggtrasil, will give up discrimination and reuse her.
Originally, Miriam was sent as someone's harem reserve, and then a certain magician did not hesitate to use flashing spells to send people back to the Wood Elf tribe. In this case, Yggdrasil no longer continued to insist on the Cypriots, but made Miriam a bridge between the World Tree and someone indirectly, that is, the messenger of the World Tree.
As for the reasons for not accepting it, there are many reasons. For example, if you accept one, you will most likely have to accept a female elf from another World Tree as well. Don't forget that there are also five elven kingdoms, which can directly allow someone to expand the harem into a 10,000-strong army. Even if you sleep a different one every day, it will take twenty-seven or eight years to finish sleeping. If you don't die, you have to break your old waist.
The only elf who broke through was the priestess of the World Tree Fasnath, the dark elf Mel. On the grounds of her safety, someone was semi-forcibly taken in. But this one, who was also sent to the technical guild of Uzov, mingled with the people of the Ikaruga Alliance, instead of staying with him. Anyway, Mel herself has the identity of an alliance.
In short, Miriam's appearance is to ask for accounts on behalf of the World Tree. Therefore, of course, someone must be hospitable, and not disagree with each other and disappear the representative of the creditor by flashing. Although someone wants to do this, but considering that they will not be so good to owe it next time, they can only give up.
Interestingly, whenever the blind sword-maiden came back to someone's home in the holy city of Estali, she loved to 'see' the paintings that hung on the walls. Now, she stands on the corridor, admiring the paintings of the people in her family or the famous paintings of the fascinated land.
