The final result of the investigation of the birdcage totem was completely consistent with Kaka's discovery.
Ai Lan sorted out all the information he had gained during his trip, and then contacted Fastan.
"Madam, it may take three months to enter Phoenix Mountain again." Ai Lan first told the mage about the changes in the bird totem, and then talked about the various events he encountered during this adventure.
"I understand." Fastan attached great importance to the information Ai Lan brought back.
A portal connecting to the outside world, even if it can only be entered for three days every three months, the value contained in it is immeasurable.
You know, one of the prerequisites for becoming a planeswalker is to travel to other worlds.
Heaven, Purgatory, and the Elemental Realm are subsidiary planes of this world, not outer realms.
"Ai Lan, besides you, who else knows about this door to heaven?"
If too many people know, things will be very troublesome later on.
Ai Lan thought about it carefully, and was a little unsure of how much the local forces knew about this gate.
"There is one force I can be sure of, the Ship Destroying Sect must know what this door is for."
When he first came here, he always wondered when Naga and Thunderbird got together.
Now that I think about it, this thunderbird probably came from Phoenix Mountain.
"The Ship-Destroying Sect? I understand."
They were just a small, unpopular force, and Fastan didn't take them to heart at all.
"Next, are you going to prepare for the New World?"
"Yes."
"The fastest is a week, the slowest is a month."
Ai Lan did not tell any outsiders that she had secretly obtained the heart of the city.
But Fastan still felt his determination.
"I have some knowledge of the situation in the New World."
"Once you enter there, your communication with the Old World will be completely blocked."
"Also, there is no portal to the outside world in the New World. You won't be able to leave for a long time."
Fastan's intelligence channels are not comparable to Ai Lan's.
This kind of mainland-level news is basically impossible to obtain with the players' current power.
"It's nothing. I went here because I wanted to lay down a piece of land for good development."
"In this case, I won't advise you anymore."
"If you need anything, just tell me. As long as you can afford it, I will try my best to help you."
This is a completely personal relationship. If used well, Ai Lan can add a lot of chips to his territory before leaving for the New World.
"Then I won't be polite."
There is nothing to be polite about this kind of thing. Giving full benefits and maintaining this personal relationship as well as possible is what Ai Lan should do as a lord.
"An academic mage should be interested in alchemy. It would be even better if there are ready-made alchemists."
"A magic teacher who can teach magic, the kind who can lead magic apprentices."
"A scholar with rich knowledge can accept it if he is younger. Anyway, I accept everyone who comes."
"Let's have some more magic apprentices. There are no requirements for this. Anything is fine."
"Finally, will the Spiritual Enlightenment School sell legal arms?"
"By the way, I can pay for all the above requirements with energy crystals."
Energy crystals are the most common currency in the world of Ashan.
Compared with gold coins, energy crystals are undoubtedly several levels higher in terms of payment priority.
"You still have a lot to ask for."
However, Fastan is now the chief of the Domain School, so she is really the right person to approach for these matters.
"Just wait, I'll give you an answer in a few days."
"good."
The Spiritual Enlightenment School is Ai Lan's only mage channel. He is now in a state where he has millions of universal energy but cannot spend it.
After completing the exchange with Fastan, Ai Lan quickly returned to his territory.
At this time, the only resources left on Guano Island are a guano mine and a few low-level bird nests (I added the previous article about coal mines).
Guano ore is also a rare resource in a sense.
Except for special islands like Guano Island, it is difficult to see this kind of mine in other places.
The advice given to him by Kaka and Yarkman was to waste a day and come back later.
They might be able to use this thing in the future.
Ai Lan also followed their advice and planned to stay on Guano Island for one more day.
As for those bird nests, he wasn't interested at all.
After returning to the territory, Ai Lan immediately came to the lord's mansion and placed the newly acquired condor feathers on it.
"You placed the feathers of the Eastern Condor on the city's guardian spirit, and the Eastern Condor is responding to your call."
Following the system prompts, an eagle's cry that seemed to penetrate the soul suddenly came from above the mangrove collar.
The Eastern Condor, also known as the Eastern Giant Eagle, is undoubtedly the eighth-level legendary unit.
According to legend, they live in the mysterious Eagle Mountain and never appear in the human world.
News about them is rarely heard on the Prime Material Plane, but no one would doubt the power of the Eastern Condor.
When the hawk chirped, a pair of huge wings that covered the sky and the sun quickly enveloped the sky above the mangrove collar.
Under the eyes of the Eastern Condor, even the most advanced camouflage techniques were instantly broken.
"Wood Elf, are you calling me?"
"Yes, Lord Condor."
Ai Lan was startled by the sudden inquiry.
But he quickly came to his senses and asked about the serious matter this time.
"Your Excellency Shenying, my territory needs a guardian beast. Are you willing to move in?"
"Nature-type territory?"
This strange Eastern Condor stared at Ai Lan's city for a while.
"Place my feathers there, and my power will protect your city."
"Ding, the mangrove leader has obtained the city's guardian spirit, the Eastern Condor."
“Mangrove Collar gets a new city perk: Tailwind.”
Downwind: The power of the wind element will always blow on this magical territory.
When the mangrove collar continues to move in one direction, it will gain 25%-50% movement acceleration.
Note: This skill cannot be upgraded.
After giving his blessing, the mysterious Eastern Condor quietly disappeared into the sky, as if it had never appeared before.
Ai Lan looked at the newly acquired Tongfeng skill and felt very satisfied.
"It's great now, the movement speed is maxed out."
"But since it is the power of the wind element, doesn't that mean?"
Ai Lan thought for a while, since the mangrove leaders haven't started plundering the guano mines yet, it's better to take the opportunity to test their ideas.
"Arkiman, wrap the entire territory with bubbles."
"Master, do you want the mangrove collar to fly?"
"Yes."
Arkiman guessed Ailan's thoughts immediately.
"The current level of the bubble shield is not enough to allow the mangrove leader to fly into the air."
"but."
As he spoke, countless resin bubbles sprayed out from under the mangrove collar.
"Just pile up a lot of resin bubbles underneath the territory."
Following Yarkiman's operation, the entire territory was slowly lifted into the air by bubbles.
Then, under the buoyancy of countless resin bubbles.
This huge piece of territory slowly broke away from the ground and slowly flew towards the sky.
At this moment, the effect of the Tailwind skill began to take effect.
Driven by the wind element, the mangrove collar actually started flying in the air.
And the flying speed doesn't look slow at all.
"Change the camouflage form and turn the mangrove collar into invisible."
The sky is not water. Even if there is a huge piece of land flying around in the sky, as long as the speed is not particularly fast, it will be difficult for units on the ground to detect it.
At this time, advanced camouflage appears to be a bit abnormal.
"Arkiman, tell me, is our current speed faster or slower than the speed we move on land?"
"When the tailwind accelerates to 50%, the speed of the mangrove collar will completely exceed the speed of ground movement."
"What about burning universal energy again?"
"It will be 36% faster than the speed of movement on the ground."
"If the terrain is very bad, this ratio will increase significantly."
Arkiman's words made Ai Lan take a deep breath.
This news is really a surprise.
"What about contrasting the sea?"
"Master, if we select stunts such as high-speed flight, aerial movement, and streamlined shields."
"The flying speed of the mangrove collar is no slower than when moving in the sea."
"What are you waiting for!"
Being able to fly and being unable to fly are completely two different concepts.
Being able to fly often represents unlimited initiative.
Fight if you want and leave if you want.
The relative disadvantage of not being able to fly is so different that it is impossible to compare.
"Master, I must remind you that if we develop a super giant body, then flying will have to be postponed."
"stop!"
"Stop research on super giant bodies immediately."
"Research on putting a bubble shield on me."
"How many days will it take to accelerate using universal energy?"
"It consumes 130,000 general energy and takes 200 hours to upgrade the bubble shield."
"130,000 is 130,000, burn it for me."
It was originally 480 hours, but it was faster by more than half. Ai Lan didn't stop and started smashing hard.
"Is bubble resin very useful for flying?"
"It's very big, and our power source comes entirely from the tailwind."
"Bubble resin is the only way the mangrove collar can control its direction in the air."
Yarkiman also reminded Ailan that it would be best to research backup means, such as jet propellers.
"That's also a promotion."
"Put the overdrive regeneration on."
"For the flying stunts, give me a few lv1 ones first."
The time required for stunt research depends entirely on the characteristics of the city.
The mangrove collar is a natural type, or a city of plants, and it does not go well with flying.
The time required for research flight, even at level 1, is as long as 56 hours.
But Ai Lan now has plenty of resources, so she directly used general energy to hit it, and it hit 20 hours in one go.
"Master, your sudden change of research direction will have a great impact on the subsequent development of the mangrove collar."
The original route was to focus on defense and survival, but now I have to do architectural research, and now I have to develop flying skills.
If changes come and go, the development of the territory will definitely be slowed down.
"I don't want to either. I can't help it."
Since you can fly in the sky, only fools walk on the ground.
"Being able to fly is a qualitative improvement for the mangrove collar. The tailwind skill directly changes the positioning of the mangrove collar."
If the mangrove collar could fly when we first attacked Huangyi Town, it would be a completely different situation.
"Yalkiman, if we develop alchemical artillery ahead of schedule, will the current resources in the city be enough?"
It's super cool just thinking about using cannons in the sky.
"Master, I strongly advise you not to do this."
"We can't even make level 1 alchemical items now."
Alchemy is a very huge field, and mass-producing alchemical artillery is not something that can be done in a day or two.
Ai Lan thought about it seriously and felt that she was indeed a little too anxious.
"Then forget it, let's do this for now."
"Let's land, let's plunder the guano mine first."
"yes."
The more Ai Lan uses the institute, the more powerful it becomes.
You can study whatever you want. As long as you have enough resources, enough time, good luck, and a big brain, you can develop any skills.
With a research institute and without a research institute, they are completely two worlds.
"I have developed the Mangrove Territory to this point. If I build another one hundred and eighty ultra-long-range arrow towers, or hundreds of alchemy cannons."
That scene is exaggerated just thinking about it.
However, neither the arrow tower nor the artillery can be researched in a day or two.
And even if it is researched, the resources required for construction are still a big problem.
"That's not right. What I'm best at is awakening tree people!"
At this moment, Ai Lan suddenly thought, in this case, why not create a remote tree man.
Whether the tree man throws stones, fruits, or anything else, as long as it is a long-range attack, with the power of the tree man, the attack distance will definitely be very far.
"Oh, why did I just think of it now?"
"Kaka, Kaka!"
"Come here quickly, I have something to discuss with you!"
"What's so urgent?" Kaka was just about to work in the institute when he heard Ai Lan's anxious shouting.
"Let's go and take a look at the Fairy Garden with me."
Ai Lan has been busy with other things recently, so her attention to Fairy Garden has inevitably decreased.
He just returned to the territory today, and he really wanted to go offline and have a good sleep.
It's just that the various events that happened one after another have long since made his sleepiness disappear.
Entering the Fairy Garden with Kaka, they came directly to the land of secrets.
"How about it, are there any mutated plants?"
"It's been such a long time, so it should be."
The Fairy Garden is on double speed. I haven't seen it in more than a week. There must be several kinds of trees that have mutated.
Kaka quickly checked various plants, but the results were not very optimistic.
"Three trees have mutated, but the only benign mutation is that the trunks have become thicker."
This is obviously of little use.
"I want a remote tree man, what kind of mutation needs to occur?"
"It's hard to say."
The long-range tree man is a super rare species.
The possibility of producing tree species through mutation is almost zero.
"Kaka, there are so many trees in the world, but there are no trees that are good at throwing things and hitting people?"
"Smashing people does happen."
The fruits of many fruit trees will hit people when they are ripe.
The most common one is coconut trees. Coconuts smashing people to death were very common news in the past.
"When it comes to throwing things away, vines and legumes are more common."
"But as for the tree..."
Kaka has only heard of one type of tree that can throw things.
"Boss, the War Treant is an ultra-rare species at the level of an ancient tree. It is impossible to buy it through ordinary channels."
