Viewed from the sky, the Tonigel area is high at both ends and low in the middle. There is a basin in the southwest, and Fir Castle is located in this direction. Looking east from Fir Castle, under the blue sky are the shadows of the rolling mountains, and a large area of hilly areas.
It stretches straight down from the western foot of Grahar Mountain, where the tributaries of the Gris River meet. It is the best hunting ground in autumn and winter and is the most densely forested area in the mountain.
It is located at the junction of the Mintai area and the Fir Territory. It is connected to Pallas to the north and the Schafflund Mine to the east. It guards the most important passage to the outside of Tonigel. It is Brando
The best possible site for Tonigel Fortress is envisaged.
Although the terrain is undulating, terrain has never been a problem for the dwarves. It was only because of financial reasons that this plan has just begun. There are some troops stationed in the hills, and only a few forts have been erected on the main roads.
In the center of the hills, the forest is considered to have carved out a clearing. This place was supposed to be a place of lush vegetation, but now the clearing is covered with rocks collected from the forest, with a huge gray and uneven surface carved on it.
Magic circle.
Multiple concentric circles form the main body of this magic circle, which is filled with many mysterious runes. Even if the most famous masters in the Royal Society of Eruin are asked to identify it, they may not be able to recognize these ancient characters.
.For Brando, this magic circle at least comes from the era before the Dark Dragon, and can at least be traced back to the Twilight War.
There is a mysterious power flowing in the magic circle, like the whisper of the woods, a pure natural power permeating the forest, and many green vines grow in the gaps between the rocks at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the magic circle is only
It was built less than a week ago, but the overgrown vines look like they have been sleeping in the forest for hundreds of years. This unusual lushness of plants has been maintained for several days, and the magic circle seems to be able to gather the magic power in the forest.
This is the completed central magic circle of Valhalla. There is a groove in the center of the magic circle, which exactly fits the core of the city in Brando's hand, which is the position reserved for it.
"The magic circle does not require an external source of magic power. Once completed, it can extract free magic power. Even we Silver Elves do not have such a powerful law." Medissa looked at the magic circle in the forest and praised: "It's so pure.
The natural breath, Lord Lord, you are so amazing."
"This is not my work." Brando replied sheepishly.
"That's what I say, but no one can interpret the information about this magic circle on the crystal. Even the Druid elders who came from the black forest are unable to do anything. However, the lord happened to have read ancient books on this aspect. This cannot but be
It is said to be a choice of fate." After Brando's death, the sister of the wild elf also agreed with the elf princess's statement.
Hearing Fuluo say this, Brando smiled. There are no ancient books. He can interpret this crystal more or less because of his special identity. He can understand it through the additional information projected on the retina.
The true purpose of an item, and the indigenous people can only guess the purpose of a magic item through archeology or general identification.
"So Brando, when will you put the crystal up?" Roman asked sitting on the rock.
"It should be now." Brando replied.
He has also seen scenes of cultivating urban cores in past games. The urban core is actually a semi-intelligent artificial life that is planted underground like tree seeds and then injected with magic power to make it grow.
However, before planting, a magic circle is needed to strengthen it. This is the first time Brando has seen it. He inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove in the center of the magic circle and felt the crystal buzzing and vibrating in his hand, and there seemed to be an emanation from inside.
A faint light came, and the light flowed out like golden water along the runes of the magic circle.
Brando quickly shook his head.
At that moment, he almost thought he had seen it wrong, because a row of green text appeared on his retina asking:
"An unfamiliar request to access the lord system."
Brando's lord system was actually turned on when he first obtained lord status. After being turned on, the lord system is a bit like the town panel in the SLG game, which can be used to monitor the operation of his territory.
For example, Brando's current lord system has two downward submenus, Ring of Trade Winds and Tonigel (2/3 territory). He can see the income and expenditure, special products, and population of the two territories.
Mine forest resources and public security conditions, etc.
It also comes with a set of personnel appointment data. For example, you can see who is currently in charge in different sub-items. For example, in Tony Geer's financial status panel, the person in charge is Roman.
If Brando transfers Roman from this position at this moment, he can see a series of impacts on the future territory's finances. This system already exists in the game, but it is more powerful in the game. Player lords can even use this system to
Complete personnel appointments and dismissals and issue some government orders.
But in this Warnd world, the territory system cannot be actually operated. It is basically just a surveillance system. Just surveillance is very powerful. Brando can see that if Roman is arranged to become the Schaflund Silver Mine
If the person in charge is appointed, the revenue of the silver mine can increase by nearly one-third in the next three months.
It wasn't until he discovered the secret of this lord system that he had an intuitive understanding of the ability of this businesswoman. But even so, he would rather let Roman remain in the position of manager Tony Geer's financial power.
superior.
Although little Roman's talent in financial management is far inferior to her talent in business, the trade in the territory now is not just the income from the silver mine. In terms of total amount, she is still better than being a mine if she stays in this position.
The person in charge is much more cost-effective for him.
Of course, these are all off-topic. Brando looked at the line of green text floating on his retina, was slightly startled, and then agreed to the request.
Then there was a subsystem under the Lord system, and the name was Valhalla. However, this system was still gray. Brando tried to touch it, but immediately got a prompt:
"Valhalla is being cultivated. The first stage requires 132,000 magic powers."
"132,000 units of magic!?" Brando was startled. The magic unit here is mana. Of course, 132,000 mana is not something that anyone can provide - even wizard leaders like William and Tulaman are here.
It is estimated that he will be sucked into a human being to fuck him - so much magic power can only be output through magic crystals, Brando reacted immediately.
The lowest type of magic crystal is secondary moonstone, and then there is flame agate. However, he was not a wizard before, nor was he a professional alchemist. He really didn’t know how many units of magic power secondary moonstone could be converted into.
, he was really a little worried for a moment. If the conversion rate was too low, then this thing called 'Valhalla' would simply be a bottomless black hole.
Thinking of this, Brando hurriedly took out the magic crystal that had been prepared from the dimensional cave. It was a secondary moonstone. The quality of the veins in the magic crystal mine in the black forest was still good, at least this secondary moonstone.
The magic power on the feldspar is much richer than what Brando has seen on the market.
He threw the secondary moonstone into the magic circle. Almost in the blink of an eye, the diamond-shaped magic crystal lost its color and turned into something as transparent as glass. And the prompts in Brando's retina also changed.
:
"Valhalla is being cultivated. The first stage requires 131,900 magic powers."
"1:100." Brando breathed a sigh of relief. If the lowest-level moon crystal can exchange 100 units of magic power, then the high-level magic crystal is no problem. He tried the flame agate again, and sure enough,
The exchange ratio for a Flame Agate is around 2,000.
In this way, the magic crystal required for 130,000 units of magic power is only a few hundred pieces. The magic crystal mined from the rich magic crystal mine in the Black Forest for the first time is tons of magic crystal, and the territory needs to use it at this moment.
The magic crystal is actually just the forge of Charles and other mages, Ruburt, and Master Tamar. Therefore, Brando put almost half of the mining amount into his own pocket without thinking about it.
There won't be enough magic crystals needed for Valhalla.
But he soon realized that he was too naive.
Several hundred crystals were thrown away in exchange for a pile of transparent and colorless glass. At this time, the core of the city had finally absorbed enough of the magic power required for the first stage. The whole crystal made a creaking sound, and a lot of cracks appeared on it.
.
Then there was a click, and the city core shattered in front of everyone, and a tree grew out of the original groove...
A small tree bud.
"This is hair!" Brando couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment. It was outrageous to plant the heart of the city like a tree, but he didn't expect to actually grow a sapling for him.
But Brando also knew that this tree must be extraordinary. No one would believe that what would be obtained by smashing hundreds of magic crystals would be an ordinary sapling - the sapling would grow in the wind, with astonishing speed.
In an instant, he grew to be almost as tall as Brando.
Brando raised his head and saw that the sapling had begun to grow thicker and longer, stretching out its branches, just like the sacred tree of the ancient elves. In a short time, it had grown to the point that it needed a person to hug it, reaching a height of several meters.
In just one minute, this 'sapling' grew to a level that would take an average tree at least ten years to reach, but it had no intention of stopping.
Everyone present saw that dense aerial roots began to grow on the tree trunks, and many root systems emerged from the surface of the rock formation and overturned the stone slabs. These root systems were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then knotted together.
.
After a few breaths, the ‘sapling’ grew in size again.
It looked like there were ancient trees.
"This... this is..." At this time, Otales, who had been sleeping in Brando's heart, also woke up because she felt the drastic changes in the magic power around her. She was speechless when she saw the tree.
.
Brando was actually speechless for a long time.
Because right in front of his eyes, the sapling was getting thicker and thicker, with countless roots and branches extending from the trunk. It had now grown to the point where seven or eight people could hug it. But the height of the tree was never very high.
, the highest point was only a few meters above the ground. At this time, Brando gradually saw what the tree looked like. It actually formed a natural square between the canopy layers.
"F*ck!" Brando finally reacted: "Isn't this the World Tree in the Ring of Trade Winds!"
…
(ps: I put Wind Shooter (Part 2) at the back. If you see it, don’t ask where (Part 2) went. Anyway, the order of the chapters is correct. Well, the development of the territory here will be written together...
