Nereus also said, "Not every soul has the possibility of developing abilities. If the soul itself is not strong enough, there is a good chance that nothing will be gained. Neither my nor Agamemnon's souls are very powerful, and it would be too risky to use it. ”

"Surely my soul must be strong?" asked Richard rhetorically.

Unexpectedly, including quicksand, the three of them unanimously agreed that Richard was the most suitable candidate.

So Richard no longer hesitated, and directly swallowed the essence of the tree heart. As soon as the essence of the heart of the tree enters the abdomen, it immediately turns into wisps of coolness, and disappears everywhere in the body in an instant. Richard only felt a tingling in his brain, then it disappeared, and then there was no other strange feeling after that.

That's it?

Richard was stunned, and there seemed to be no other special feeling except that he felt a little clearer. He couldn't help but sink in his heart, could it be that such a precious tree heart essence really didn't play the slightest role?

Richard's face tensed, but in the blink of an eye, he turned from surprise to joy. Because all of a sudden, his wisdom talent has been promoted to the fourth order!

Now Richard's thinking speed has increased dramatically, and even the thinking speed of the second consciousness has also increased. There is no doubt that the improvement brought by the wisdom talent to Richard, and the most direct manifestation is that Richard's battlefield command ability has been improved again. After a little probing, he found that he could now command hundreds of units at the same time, and the scale of the number of people who could maintain the best command effect had risen to 1,000 people. On the other hand, Richard's analysis and design construction speed has also increased accordingly.

Everyone was staring at Richard, and naturally they could see the changes in his expression.

Nereus immediately asked, "What abilities have you gained?"

Richard hesitated a little before he said, "I can't tell, but I feel like I've been thinking a lot faster." "Wisdom and truth are two natural abilities that Richard is reluctant to reveal and cannot explain clearly.

"It's a reward. Agamemnon said.

Nereus nodded as well, and looked relieved. It turns out that whether this kind of item that can increase the ability of the soul really has an effect depends on the strength of the soul, but it depends more on luck. As long as it works, it's a success.

Next, there are the ten leaves of youth sent by the Tree of Life. The Leaf of Youth is obviously more extravagant than practical, but it is its extravagant significance that Nereus and Agamemnon value more. In the end, the two sides divided the leaves of youth equally, and the five leaves of youth that Richard got were just enough. Quicksand, Lina, Daimei, Splash, plus a Luoqi, but if you count Alyselle and Fasqi, who are likely to join in the future, it will be a bit insufficient.

Nereus and Agamemnon were also calculating the selection of candidates, their brows furrowed, and they were obviously quite embarrassed. Speaking of such things as the leaf of youth, how much is not enough. Although it is also priced, the current market price is basically maintained at tens of thousands of pieces, but it is one-way. A lot of times, you can't buy it even if you have money.

Fortunately, everyone is still young, and with Richard invincible, his strength has increased rapidly, so youth and appearance are not a problem for the time being. The Tree of Life can produce ten leaves of youth in a year, which is barely enough. If you want to exchange it for profit, you don't want to think about it.

The spoils of war had been distributed, the battle damage had been counted, and the four people in the treehouse looked a little lighter.

At this point, the situation in the Green Forest Plane is also opened, and it is necessary to send additional personnel to the Green Forest Plane next, and the scope of rejection of the will of the forest by the Tree of Life and the base city has been integrated, and it can be safely developed on a large scale. However, if a large amount of wood is to be transported out, it is no longer suitable for the plane passage to be opened in the Eternal Dragon Palace.

After a few discussions, it was decided to build a new dimensional portal on a piece of the Viscount domain of the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, which was conveniently located just over a hundred kilometers away from the big port, and could be used specifically for large-scale transportation of timber.

And the mountains of rock and wood in the base city will soon be useful. Deep Blue's research on rock wood has entered an advanced stage, and it has been proved that rock wood is very durable in combustion, and a small piece of rock wood is equivalent to at least one ton of wood calorific value. As long as it is equipped with an accelerant specially blended by Deep Blue, the fist-sized rock wood can continue to burn for a day and a night, and can heat the hall for nearly 100 meters. In the past, only a small part of the rock wood was used.

Deep Blue is working on improving the accelerant with the extra 100,000 gold coins provided by Richard in order to find a recipe that can be mass-produced and cheap enough. If it is successful, then the rock wood will have the value of being shipped out of the green forest. You must know that within the scope of the will of the forest, more than half of the trees are this kind of rock wood. Forest Will and the World Tree are adding obstacles to invaders in this way.

Even now, the monthly income that Green Forest can provide is nearly 300,000, which belongs to a fairly high-quality plane. And the various benefits brought by the Tree of Life have not been calculated, and the logging can only be regarded as a little extra pocket money.

Nereus and Agamemnon consulted for a moment, and Masase said, "Richard, Agamemnon and I have fifteen Constructed Knights now. And my points have risen very quickly recently, and I have reached the minimum required limit. So I'm going to apply to my father for a new plane, and once the development meets the standards, it can become my personal plane. Richard, are you interested in participating? Although the plane ownership is mine, I don't have to take the lion's share. We still follow the model of Green Forest, and distribute the income according to the input. ”

Richard hesitated a little and said, "For the time being, I don't have any more ability to expand." I've got to clean up the mess in the family first. In this way, when you apply, I can provide you with some support to see how it goes, and when my side is stable, we will discuss the big development. ”

"It's fine. Nereus nodded.

He also understood Richard's current situation, after all, Gordon's mess was not ordinary, it was a whole five private planes! and each of them had just opened up the situation. But in other words, there really isn't anyone like Gordon who started from scratch and laid down the glory of five private planes in one fell swoop in just twenty years, looking at the entire Holy Alliance.

At the end, Nereus suddenly asked with a mysterious expression, "Richard, how many rules did you comprehend when you advanced to the Tree of Life?"

"What about you?" asked Richard rhetorically.

"Three!" said Nereus's little face with pride that could not be concealed. He stared at Richard expectantly with watery eyes, looking forward to another battle with this perverted fellow.

"Four. Richard thought for a moment and said with a light smile.

Nereus's face was both delight and disappointment. He naturally hoped that his allies would be as strong as possible, but he was slightly disappointed to be defeated by Richard again. Fortunately, Richard's lead was not too big, so Neres still had the idea of continuing to compete.

Of course, Nereus didn't know that Richard, with his intelligence and true talent, had a huge advantage in understanding the rules. Richard not only recognized 65,536 rules, but also 13 of them!

Agamemnon also understood the three rules, and the taciturn guy was no worse than Nereus in terms of understanding.

"What about the Divine Servant?" of course Nereus refused to let go of the quicksand.

"Eleven. "The lazy attitude does not affect the effect of quicksand against Nereus in the slightest.

The discussion was decided, and then Richard assigned the Leaf of Youth. Everyone who got it was naturally extremely happy, and even the splash showed a look of joy that could not be concealed. Only when quicksand got the emerald green leaf, his expression looked a little happy and a little strange. However, Richard did not notice this small abnormality, and after the distribution, he went directly to the heart chamber of the tree of life to meditate.

However, there was a small episode afterwards. At night, the battle priest Io quietly slipped into Quicksand's room, with a respectful and stern face, and discussed with Quicksand whether the leaf of youth could be given to him.

Quicksand refuses to be categorical.

Io smiled wryly and said, "Lord Quicksand, what's the use of you asking for this? As a god, you can stay young forever in the duration of your life! Faro is ten times the speed of time, I've been here for a long time, and I'm going to age very quickly. ”

Quicksand asked strangely: "You are a big man, what does it matter if you are old?"

"That...... Being old has tarnished my glorious image. And this leaf of youth really won't be of much use to you. Io said in a low voice. After experiencing Nayu's affairs, Io already knows deeply who is the one who holds the power of life and death for him.

"Who said it didn't work for me?" Quicksand smiled mysteriously, took out the leaf of youth, shook it in front of Io, and then threw it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it directly.

Io made a few oh oh in his throat, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't really do it.

"It tastes good. "The quicksand's evaluation almost made Io vomit blood. The Battle Priest's quest for handsome looks is nothing short of his desire to break the limits of his rank.

Looking at Io's blue face, Quicksand said lightly: "This is a gift from Richard, naturally it is impossible to give it to you." But there will be one in the future, and the Tree of Life produces some leaves of youth every year. If you really want to, find a way to get it from him!"

Io's face changed, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand." ”

Early the next morning, Richard was outside the meditation room, looked at Io with a strange expression, and asked, "Do you want the Leaf of Youth too?"

"Yes!" Io gritted his teeth.

Richard began to groan, and then Io's heart began to beat faster.

Just when Io was hardly ready to hold out any hope, Richard said: "This is not a very high request, and according to your contribution to Faro, you are fully worthy of a leaf of youth." Merely...... I really didn't think you wanted this thing too, so I split it all at once. You know, they've probably used all of this stuff, and maybe the quicksand doesn't really need it. Why don't you go to her and figure it out?"
