Act 45: Valhalla's Growth (Part 1)

Since the princess's messenger returned the news from Lantonilan, another half month has passed by. The Moon of the Scroll is an important month for the Buga people in the Silver City-State, and the White Tower rings the bell in this month.

sound, announcing the arrival of the month of knowledge and wisdom. Wizards will publicly test their students in Gata or the white marble square of Naqidi, making the entire Silver City-state linger in a tense but orderly order.

in the atmosphere.

But for the Eruin countrymen as far away as Tonigel, this is just a month that is getting hotter and hotter; the crops in the fields are beginning to leaf out, and the colors of the entire fir collar seem to have rotated into something breathtaking.

The pleasing cyan color - even astrologers and scholars in places like Bragg and Ampelser debate whether July in the world system of Warnd should be related to people's logical ability, its supporters and opponents

Everyone holds their own opinions, but in fact it has nothing to do with the production and life of most people in this kingdom.

People just stick to the rules of their lives during this time of reincarnation every year, the sun rises and sets, day and night, that's all.

The tense atmosphere between the princess and Jean Denel became more and more obvious. The upcoming war was gradually brought to the dinner table and became the hottest topic after dinner.

Although the Earl has remained silent on this matter, everyone knows that their lord is firmly on the side of Her Royal Highness the Princess. As we all know, the lord is a young man, and the princess's beauty has long been spread throughout the country, even in the Cruz generation.

Everyone has heard about it. Therefore, privately some people south of Mintai and even in the Vlada area are secretly speculating on the relationship between Brando and Princess Griffin.

Of course, the most popular rumors that the people like to hear are nothing more than knights and princesses, earls and their noble lovers. In addition, the battle of Ampelsel is like the plot in a knight's novel - Brando does not know that he is leading an army alone.

Why did the news about the retainers going to Ampelsel spread? But all in all, most people would rather believe it to be true.

So much so that in the recent period, people around Her Royal Highness the Princess have been looking at him strangely. Griffith blushed slightly because the Princess even mentioned these rumors occasionally, and reduced the number of meetings with him. This is called clothing.

Lando was very depressed.

Fortunately, Roman didn't seem to be jealous because of this. Instead, she listened to Brando's bard version of the story of "The Act of Chivalry" several times. Every time she heard the part about "The Princess of the Earl's Night Party," she

I couldn't help but look particularly curious.

"Lord, the growth of World Tree Fortress is better than expected. We built the Moon Tower one month after you left the territory. And with the magic transfer of the Moon Tower, the transmission energy of the Light Vortex increased to one

Ten times a month, twenty times, thirty times...fifty times. As of the Summer Moon, my tribe has now grown to one hundred, two hundred, three hundred and ten, twenty...

…Three hundred and sixty-seven.”

Monica's clear voice interrupted Brando's thoughts. He was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at the tree crown above his head.

The development of Valhalla is better than expected. The huge tree shade is more than ten times larger than when he last left. The palm-sized leaves are stacked together to form a shade like a piece of jade. When the sunlight penetrates them

The edges of the leaves were dyed a warm bright yellow. Brando sat on the steps in front of the town hall and listened to Monica reading the report boringly - in fact, the report itself was both concise and detailed. But Ms. Guangling's

The painful counting method is really difficult to correct. Fortunately, after his ears were damaged for a period of time, Brando gradually got used to this natural counting method. He had to lament the power of human beings.

adaptability.

He raised his head and looked at the moon-white spire above the tree canopy. The slender tower passed through the dense shade of trees and was covered with ivy. Under the green shade, there were windows with wooden lattice at regular intervals, making the entire tall tower stand out.

The tower looks like it has a unique natural atmosphere.

There is a moon-shaped resonance crystal on the top of the tower, and the crystal is glowing with fluorescence, proving that it is now working. This is the Tower of the Moon in Valhalla, which is located at the other end of the square. Brando looked back, the town hall and the Tower of the Moon

The area of ​​the square between the towers is no longer just over a hundred meters in diameter when we first saw it, but has become more than three times larger.

And compared with the last time I saw it, there is an extra fountain in the center of the square. The fountain has no traces of artificial carving, but looks like it grows from the tree trunk below. It is surrounded by mushrooms. There is a statue of a girl in the center, Bran.

It should be recognized that it is the symbol of the goddess of spring.

According to Monica, this statue should be a bonus building of Valhalla, but its function is very real. The entire fountain seems to have a weak magic halo, which can provide magic for all Valhalla within a hundred meters.

A creature recognized by La, it mechanically replenishes magic power. Although the effect of this magic halo is very weak, its other function is very important to Brando.

That is, meditating near this fountain will get double the effect. This is great news for cultivating wizards. It means that wizard apprentices can master new spells in half the time by practicing spells next to the fountain.

magic.

In fact, Charles had already discovered this benefit. Brando saw many apprentices wearing monochrome robes casting spells such as 'Magic Ball' and 'Fire Arrow' in the square. Some of them even formed two groups.

The mutual confrontation makes the scene in the center of the square resemble a group of people setting off fireworks, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

"But since last month, Sir Charles has taken back the authority of the Tower of the Moon. Therefore, the number of jumps of the vortex of light has now returned to its original level-" Monica finally finished counting, she was like a little

Like a ball of light, it flapped its wings and floated in front of Brando, and continued to answer: "According to your request, Lord, we have raised Valhalla to the first, second... and third level territory in a short period of time; at the same time, using

The defensive tree nests have also been built, and one, two, three... twenty-seven of them have grown. The other two, three... forty-three are still in the mature stage."

She flew to the side and replied: "Lord, you can look over here."

Brando moved away the translucent lord interface floating in front of him with a 'snap'. The drowsy data on it made him look big. He raised his head and saw what Monica was pointing at.

Some nodules similar to tree knots grow on the tree trunks extending outward from the square, while some aerial roots with the thickness of an ordinary ancient tree trunk are coiled around these nodules.

As soon as he looked in that direction, some light green words appeared on the roots coiled around the trunk, which were:

Ancient tree roots, parasitic plant, life: 40. Intelligence —, Will —, Perception —, Strength 22. Dexterity 20, Constitution 25.

The roots of these ancient trees alone are almost at the level of peak black iron, but they don't know how strong their actual combat capabilities are. Brando couldn't help but glance to the other side. Not far away, Haruze was wearing a knight training uniform and a root.

They had to fight, but his sword skills were really terrible. Suddenly, the vines swept horizontally across the ground, and the shy and cute little prince fell to the ground.

Brando saw the young man getting up with his hands on his red forehead and looking like he was about to cry, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"As long as you defeat this root, you can take a rest, Your Highness," he interrupted Monica and shouted.

"I, I understand, teacher." His Royal Highness the little prince looked grateful. Then he was unexpectedly whipped and fell against the wall on the side of the square.

Brando held his forehead and felt for the first time that he had seen the wrong person. He sighed and said, "Go on, Monica."

According to what Monica said before, each tree nest can breed ten such roots, and when the seventy tree nests are completely built, there will be seven to eight hundred of these roots outside Valhalla.

.That is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the White Lion Legion of seven to eight hundred Eruins, or the elite soldiers of the Fusiliers of the Black Blade Legion.

And Brando knew that this was just a comparison of strength, not to mention that the tactical coordination of these roots, which were uniformly commanded by the World Tree Fortress, was many times better than that of human soldiers.

"Lord, after the World Tree Fortress was upgraded to the second level, a new defensive building was added to the outer wall of the square and the second-level ring road below, the Elf Arrow Tower. Because it was not authorized, I need you to personally

To judge whether it needs to be built." Monica replied.

When she answered, there were some light spirits flying around behind her every moment. Each of these light spirits would greet the patriarch personally designated by Brando. In Brando's eyes, these light spirits surrounded the world.

The dancing lights of the tree are like countless fireflies, embellishing the huge canopy with a somewhat magical color.

"Elf Arrow Tower?" Brando asked: "This sounds like a city defense facility invented by the Silver Elf. There are three rooms on the top floor of the Elf Arrow Tower to accommodate archers. Each room has eight shooting holes that can face all directions.

, there are two magic arrays of frost and flame in the room. You can easily enchant the archer’s arrows——"

"There is an ammunition room on the third floor below the arrow tower, and a ballista room on the first floor, which can accommodate two Elf Ballistas. Am I right?" He raised his head and asked.

"Lord, you are so awesome!" Monica couldn't help but widen her eyes and sighed in a shrill voice: "It's almost exactly the same, but there is one thing wrong. The Silver Elf's Elf Arrow Tower is actually derived from the Light Elf.

The same is true for the Sacred Spire of the Ethnics and the Arrow Tower of Valhalla, and they are slightly different from those of the Silver Elves, but they are still in a parallel relationship."

The light girl replied with some pride.

"Can I see the data first?" Brando asked.

"Of course, Lord."

Monica flew to the town hall and pulled out a long drawing from it. Brando took a look at the densely drawn drawings and couldn't help but shook his head. In fact, he didn't need anything at all, because Monica

When he said of course, a light screen appeared in front of him.

A three-dimensional model of the elf arrow tower appeared on the light screen, with all aspects of this thing's data marked on it.

First, there are three archer rooms that are almost the same as the Silver Elf Arrow Tower. The eight shooting holes and two magic arrays are clearly visible. And below is the ammunition room, where arrows and ballista ammunition can be transmitted to it through a transmission magic.

Among several rooms, the ballista room on the lower floor is slightly different from the Silver Elf's arrow tower in Brando's memory.

Judging from the model, this elven arrow tower can only accommodate one ballista. But in the room staffing label, there is an additional magic apprentice attached.

"Enchanted ballista!" Brando pretended to grab the drawing and reacted immediately.

"As expected of the lord." Monica praised in surprise.

"What an ingenious design," Brando also praised. However, in his mind, it is not necessarily true that the Elf Arrow Tower in Valhalla is better than the Silver Elf. One enchanted ballistae is compared with two ordinary ballistae.

The increase in lethality is actually limited, but the configuration of a ballista and a magic apprentice seems a little more luxurious.

He pondered for a moment, and then he understood a little bit why all aspects of Valhalla seemed to be set up to cultivate a large number of wizards. Now it seems that this territory is likely to be a truly high-level magic territory in the legend.

Although such a territory is powerful, the cost of cultivating it is obviously also staggering.

The frontal defense of Valhalla's Elven Arrow Tower is basically the same as that of the Silver Elf, and the side defense is slightly weaker. However, it has a certain self-repair ability. Generally speaking, each has its own merits. However, compared with ordinary human arrow towers made of earth and stone,

This highly magical arrow tower is naturally not on the same level.

Overall, Brando was very satisfied. Once Valhalla has such a defense facility, the defense of the entire territory will be almost doubled. Brando immediately made a decision and asked: "Such an arrow tower is needed.

Will the magic pool support it?"

Monica nodded: "But there is no need to waste it so much. The magic power transformed by the crystal pool is enough to maintain the operation of these arrow towers. One crystal pool is enough to supply one, two, three... forty elven arrow towers."

Operation. And according to your request before leaving, Lord Lord, the construction of the crystal pool was completed three months ago."

"So how many of these arrow towers do you think we need, Monica?"

"If it is built on the square here on the top floor, currently only eight are enough to cover all areas. If it is built on the second-level ring road, twenty will be needed. And if it is built on the rhizome city at the bottom, I am afraid it will be necessary

Seventy or more. In addition, if the lord chooses the last option, because Lord Oldham is building a city wall somewhere, it will be delayed a lot of time——"

The outer ring road mentioned by Monica is actually the first-level area outside the trunk of the World Tree. After the entire World Tree is fully mature, it will form three areas. The 500-meter-diameter square in the center is the highest level and the core area. Almost all the areas are

Functional buildings surround this huge square.

Down from the square, with a drop of about 30 meters, is a ring road about 50 meters wide. This ring road surrounds the World Tree and has two floors from top to bottom. The lower ring road can lead to the upper floor, and the upper ring road can lead to the upper floor.

The side of the road against the tree wall connects to the hollow inner hall of the World Tree.

Further down the two ring roads, there is an open area composed of countless Valhalla roots rooted in the ground. This area is undulating and has a diameter of about two to three kilometers. Many flat spaces are formed above it.

They are connected to each other by roots as wide as a road. It is the lower city of Valhalla.

However, there is no foundation in the lower city. Instead, a descendant of a certain rune dwarf suddenly had the idea to build an artificial fortress in this area.

This was the first time Brando had heard of this idea. He couldn't help but straighten up and asked: "Odum plans to build a city wall in the lower city? Wait, is he crazy? What if Valhalla expands further?

what to do?"

"Lord, after the core area of ​​Valhalla reaches its current diameter, it will be stable for a period of time. After all, the World Tree Fortress does not grow endlessly," Monica replied.

"What about the future?" Brando still felt a little weird. Last time, the guy later said that he wanted to build an 'invincible city' without a gate. He felt that he should have noticed the problem. Unexpectedly, Oldham was even more lawless this time.

.

But Monica obviously has a different view than him: "Lord, the World Tree Fortress is a magical territory. Maybe you haven't seen its magic yet, but you don't have to worry, even if it will continue to expand in the future

, it won’t affect the old city at all. At worst, you can just expand the lower city by then.”

"Really?" Brando frowned, talking about the territory. Not to mention the territory of Valhalla, he has never seen the popular magic territory of players. In this regard, he is still an out-and-out expert.

Newbie.

"Of course, if every time Valhalla expands, the entire territory will be overthrown. How can such a World Tree fortress be called the strongest fortress from the previous era?" Monica replied with pride on her face.

road.

"The strongest fortress?" Brando grasped this modifier keenly. He originally thought that this somewhat naive light spirit was bragging, but he did not expect that Monica nodded seriously after listening to his question.

: "Lord, you must not know the origin of this territory. Once you know why it was built, you will understand that what Monica said is true."

"What's its origin?" Brando narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

Monica was stunned for a moment, then suddenly changed her appearance and replied in a mechanical tone: "Valhalla, the Palace of Valhalla, Asgard, the Golden Palace, Avalon, the Utopia, and Ultras, one, two, three

, the four or five fortresses were originally replicas of the Babel Fortress. After the Twilight War, they were activated one after another, but as far as I know, the Golden Palace Asgard, the Utopia Avalon, and Valha have been completely destroyed.

There is only one backup left in Ra, and Ultras is missing."

"But as a replica of Babel, the final battlefield, although it is only a backup, the surviving Valhalla already symbolizes the highest masterpiece of civilization of that era."
