The height of the world tree that finally grew was not as high as Lawrence and the others imagined before. Instead, it stretched out in all directions after reaching a certain height, and finally formed a giant tree like a big umbrella. At the same time, this giant tree
As the crown of the tree expands, roots that look like the aerial roots of a banyan tree hang down from the branches and fall to the ground. They support the branches that continue to expand in all directions.
"It actually grew all at once!" After quickly flying up and down in the air in a large circle around the big tree, Nora floated in front of Lawrence and said with a shocked face. "Except for that one tree
Apart from the mother tree of the World Tree located in the Elf King's Court on Everlasting Island, this second level of tribal World Tree will be of this size once it grows up."
"Does that mean that with your instillation of a lot of faith, this tree has now reached an adult state?" Lawrence asked in a daze after listening to Nora's words, because the tree in front of him was
The growth process was inconsistent with most of the knowledge about this tree that I had previously obtained from the seeds.
"No, this tree just looks like it has entered adulthood." Nora shook her head helplessly and said, as the owner of this space, she can clearly feel the current specific condition of this tree. "
This is equivalent to the situation that the elves will be in after a hundred years of planting under normal circumstances."
"In terms of human lifespan, this tree has just escaped from infancy and entered adolescence. In addition to having the appearance of an adult World Tree, most of the abilities that an adult World Tree should have have. For example, magic
Defense capabilities, and the adjustment of magic power in the surrounding environment—"
"Stop, stop, let's not talk about these things that are temporarily unusable." After hearing a lot of abilities that are currently unavailable, Lawrence interrupted the little puppet and asked. "I want to know what this tree is now.
If there is any ability that can be used, I think this powerful magical plant should not be able to do anything now."
"There are also skills that can be used. Excluding some useless things like falling leaves that can be used as a summer drink, there are two main skills." Nora nodded lightly and said.
, "One is to break the invisibility. All things with extraordinary power that enter within 1.5 kilometers with this tree as the center will be detected, unless such things or the people who master this extraordinary power have reached the holy realm and above.
level."
"Outside, this skill should be very useful, but here it seems a bit useless." Lawrence thought for a moment and said pertinently. After all, this place now belongs to Lawrence's astral plane, outside.
A large number of very confusing traps have been set up. According to Nora, it is impossible for anyone who is not a god or an established demigod to lock this plane from the huge star realm and break through.
Therefore, the detection function of World Tree seems to be basically useless. After all, it is impossible for extraordinary beings with too low levels to enter this plane, and as long as the guys who can enter here want to hide, they will naturally not
It will be discovered by this tree. Because of this, Lawrence said that this function is somewhat useless.
"Of course I know that this ability is useless." Nora shrugged slightly depressed and continued. "But another skill is quite useful, and that is to change the surrounding environment to make the surrounding five thousand meters very suitable.
The life of intelligent creatures. To put it simply, it is a large air conditioner, air conditioner and humidifier."
"That sounds pretty good." Lawrence shrugged. Everything in this world is good, except that the climate completely imitates the climate around the area where the ancient Nile civilization was born. So much so that this place is in high temperature most of the time.
Under the control of the body. Even an extraordinary person like Lawrence feels that the temperature is too high after staying in it for a long time, let alone a jackal with thick fur on his body.
Therefore, if the surrounding temperature can become comfortable, the city should soon become popular with these jackals. In fact, even as this tree grows, there are already jackals curiously poking around here.
. But after seeing the figures of Lawrence and Nala, they retreated automatically.
In the following time, Lawrence and the others returned to the temple and began to plan the construction of a new city. Fortunately, now they did not need to plan the city itself, they only needed to plan a route from the river to the World Tree.
A canal was enough. So it only took half an hour to create a canal 17 kilometers long, 35 meters wide and 5 meters deep on the sand table.
"How long will it take to repair this river?" After planning the entire canal, Nora turned her head and looked at the highest priest and the highest person in charge in the temple and asked, "I mean, as long as it does not interfere with other work.
The time required depends on the circumstances. After all, we cannot delay other work."
"If this is the case, the number of people on the construction site can only be kept at about 5,000." The supreme priest, who had white hair and wore a white linen robe, calculated on the papyrus and said, "If everything goes well.
, we can complete it in about eight months.”
"Is 5,000 people enough for eight months?" Lawrence made a hasty calculation and felt a little surprised, because this work speed was close to the work efficiency of the workers with the help of steam machinery that he had seen in the White Eagle Federation before. But now
These jackals only have simple steel tools in their hands.
"Of course that's enough, Your Majesty." In the eyes of the Jackals, Lawrence is the number one apostle of their god Nora, so they treat Lawrence just like the outside world treats the supreme leaders of those religions. "And because they want to show me
Due to the mercy of the Lord, we still set everyone’s daily work efficiency according to a relatively low standard.”
"Minimum standard - oh, I understand." When the old jackal said it, Lawrence suddenly discovered an issue he had missed in his previous calculations, which was the physical strength of these three-meter-tall jackals.
But they are much more powerful than humans. According to them, each Jackal is equivalent to three and a half ordinary humans when doing these physical tasks.
If the average efficiency is calculated in this way, then their arrangement is indeed very reasonable. Seeing Lawrence Nala lost in thought, the jackal thought that the two people were entangled in the speed of canal construction, so he thought briefly
Finally, he told another piece of uncertain good news.
"Actually, the manpower that can be mobilized in the previous calculation is purely based on the manpower that can be mobilized now. However, this time period is also the time when our manpower is most tight. Because we need a large number of manpower to grow wheat and flax."
The white-haired jackal explained to Lawrence and the others, "After all the crops are harvested, we can spare two to three times the manpower to help on the construction site during the slack period."
For an agricultural nation, it is true that there are not many people available for work during busy farming periods. However, a lot of manpower can usually be spared during slack periods. Just like why the corvées in ancient China theoretically chose slack periods.
Likewise, so do jackal people.
"No matter what, agriculture comes first." Nora warned seriously. She knew what those fanatics would sometimes do, so she simply warned them carefully in advance. "If you are because of building this canal,
If it delays other things, I will be very angry."
"Understood, my lord." The jackal's supreme priest crossed his hands on his chest, and then bowed solemnly to Lawrence and the others. "We will do all this according to your instructions."
