This gem, which seemed to be just a gem full of life force before, also changed while Lawrence and the others were reading data from it. At first, he thought it was a manifestation of the exhaustion of the internal magic power, but later he discovered that this
A gem is not a gem at all, but a seed of the World Tree.
Although it sounds very lofty, the seeds of the World Tree are not as precious as imagined. For the elves, any settlement with more than 50,000 people or an independent elven clan settlement will have one as this
A city or a symbol of an elven clan.
The grown World Tree got such a name purely because of its huge size. It did not represent the entire world as Lawrence imagined in the legend in his previous life. However, as the core of the elves' settlement, the World Tree can provide a series of benefits to the surrounding environment.
With its protective and regulating effects, it can also be said to be an extremely rare magical plant.
More importantly, the properties of the World Tree itself are very consistent with this astral plane and Nala. So if you place the World Tree in this plane, whether it is the World Tree itself, the astral plane or the little doll Nala,
This was a very beneficial thing for him. According to later generations of Lawrence, it was a win-win-win situation.
"Then let's plant this tree in this place." Nora said after looking around at the surrounding environment, "At least from various angles, this place should be the most suitable place to plant this tree in the entire space.
The place where the World Tree is. Then I can take this opportunity to build a new city in this place."
"I thought you would plant this tree in the capital of this plane. After all, this world tree is more suitable to be planted near the settlements of intelligent creatures." After hearing what the little doll said, Lawrence turned his head and asked strangely.
"What do you think is wrong with that old city?"
"There has been a problem since the site selection." Nora said and waved her hand, and soon, a sandbox model of the city appeared on the ground. In addition to the city itself, there was also a series of terrain surrounding the city. In order to
To allow viewers to more intuitively understand the specific conditions of the city, Nora also added grass to replace vegetation and a small area of water to replace the river that flows through the city.
"You see, this city is located on a high ground by the water. The surrounding area has convenient transportation and sufficient farmland. It can indeed be considered a suitable environment for jackals to live in." Nora fell to the edge of the sand table at this time.
, then he held a small stick he found out from somewhere in his hand and pointed it out. "However, with the development of Jackal civilization in this space, this place began to gradually lose its development potential."
"For example, let's take the foundations in this area." Nora said, using the small stick in her hand to draw a circle around the location of the city. "Except for the foundation of the temple, which is a stone hill, the entire city was built in ancient times.
The siltation caused by the flooding of rivers makes it impossible to build large buildings in this area."
"And before we came, the local people didn't know how to compost, so all kinds of sewage kept seeping down. As a result, after thousands of years, the groundwater under the entire city was completely polluted, and
The river water can only be drunk periodically due to the huge sand content during the flooding period for several months every year."
"Urban groundwater pollution!" After Nora said this, Lawrence also realized this serious problem. Even before the industrialization era, urban groundwater pollution was very serious. For example, in his previous life, the reason why the Han Dynasty Chang'an City in his hometown was in
The Tang Dynasty was abandoned and the Sui Daxing City was built southeast of the former site, which was the Tang Chang'an City. A very important problem is that the groundwater of Han Chang'an City was seriously polluted after hundreds of years of human activities.
In this place, where Jackals have lived in the city for thousands of years, the groundwater situation is even worse. Many canals and reservoirs have been built throughout the city to divert relatively clean river water from the upper reaches of the river and then settle it for use.
Drinking. But due to various problems, this city causes a large number of patients every year due to water pollution.
The only good thing is that because this world lacks extraordinary power, diseases do not contain extraordinary power. The physical fitness of jackals is much better than that of humans, so they can persevere in such a bad environment.
"And purely from the perspective of urban development, this city doesn't have much room for development." Nora said, pointing to the slopes around the city. "The Jackals probably chose this place to avoid wild beasts.
The attack can be defended with the help of terrain, but now it also blocks the expansion of the city."
"I can understand why a new city needs to be built." Seeing Nora begin to adjust the earth veins of the entire astral plane to gather magic power and even the purified power of faith, Lawrence took the opportunity to observe the surroundings and roughly guessed
Why should this place be chosen as the new core city?
Because according to the current development speed of this plane, the old city will soon be unable to accommodate the new population. Rather than hastily rebuilding the new city then, it is better to make comprehensive preparations now. On the other hand,
, this piece of Gobi Desert is indeed suitable for building a city.
Not to mention that this place is located in the geometric center of the entire plane, and it is also close to the river that runs through the entire astral plane to facilitate the transportation of people and materials around it. This solid and flat ground alone can greatly reduce construction.
The cost is reduced, and the large amount of open space around it also reserves enough space for the future development of the city.
Just as Lawrence was thinking about these issues, Nora's work was coming to an end. Under the command of the little puppet, the silver liquid condensed by the pure power of faith began to gather on the ground into a diameter of
A small pool of two or three meters, according to the amount of this power of faith, is a huge amount even for the gods.
"Stand back, brother." After making all the preparations, Nora reminded Lawrence, who was still thinking, to lean back. Then she threw the seed in her hand into the silver pool in front of her.
middle.
When the seed was first thrown into the pool, nothing changed in the pool. After the sound of falling water, Lawrence and the others only saw circles of ripples on the pool. But soon, the ground began to shake slightly.
, and then a green thing quickly rushed out of the pool.
At first, Lawrence thought that what came out was a cane. But soon he discovered that it was actually a tree with emerald green bark that was growing rapidly. The whole scene was like fast-forwarding a video tape in a documentary.
.
At the beginning, the tree was only as thick as Lawrence's thumb and as long as the palm of his hand. But after a silver pool emerged from the tip of the tree, it never stopped growing taller and thicker. After just a minute, the tree became
It is a large tree with a diameter at breast height of one meter and a height of five or six stories, and it continues to grow taller and thicker.
"Approximately how big will this thing grow?" Lawrence looked at the rapidly growing tree and asked Nora next to him. "If I remember correctly, the current size of this tree is basically equivalent to a normal tree in the world.
The tree has been growing for three or four years."
"I don't know either." Nora also looked at the fast-growing tree in front of her with a look of shock. "I only know that the world tree blessed by the gods on the elves can grow very fast, so I wanted to use
Give it a try with the pure power of faith. I really didn’t expect the effect to be so good.”
Fortunately, after about half an hour, the growth rate of the tree finally slowed down. By this time, the entire tree had turned into a giant tree with a diameter at breast height of seven to eight meters and a height of about ten stories.
