After arriving at the territory of the World Tree, the elves naturally had a set of procedures for entering and going through routine rituals. Rather than saying that these rituals were flashy rituals, it was better to say that some routine inspections were ritualized and solemn.
After that, there was also a series of organizing camps and setting up temporary residences. Here, there was no king's palace, nor was there a residence prepared to receive guests. If one wanted to stay here, other than the consent of the host, they had to do everything else on their own.
But none of this had anything to do with a certain someone. Apart from the two students taking care of trivial matters, the kitten that used its head as a nest grabbed everything it could grab, urging a certain someone to hurry up and see its true form.
Although he didn't have a beard, and his eyebrows weren't long enough for a cat to grab, his hair wasn't. In view of the fact that he couldn't guarantee that he would become stronger if he went bald, a certain someone went along with the flow. With a regretful expression, he threw the troublesome matter of setting up camp to the two girls and happily went off on his own.
Within the territory of the World Tree, there was a very strange characteristic. Depending on where one stood, or the point of observation, the scene one saw would be different. The only thing that remained unchanged was the giant tree that reached straight into the sky. But even if one tree didn't become two, the more detailed the appearance of the tree, the closer the distance, the more features that couldn't be observed before would appear.
This was also the reason why a certain someone who walked under the tree and looked up at the tree felt dumbfounded.
Where did Lahti's Divine Wood Guards live?
A: On the tree.
On the giant tree, there were stairs of varying heights, connecting to single rooms with windows, balconies, and doors dug into the tree. There were also some simple wooden planks that were pieced together to build treehouses on the giant branches. Hanging vines pulled on the wooden planks, connecting them into crisscrossing suspension bridges, forming a passage in the air.
There were also many herbs that took root in the flower pots on the balconies. Like vines, they climbed up the trunk of the World Tree and grew outwards. They even bloomed beautiful flowers. In this summer, there were still red, yellow, purple, and white. All kinds of colors competed in beauty.
It looked very dreamy. There weren't too many traces of chiseling, and it was very close to nature. … As if!
It was fine for those who did not understand, but Lin was very clear about the characteristics of plants like the World Tree. Putting aside things like consciousness and souls that were too metaphysical, the sturdiness and height of the World Tree was because it was a bridge that connected the higher dimensions to other worlds. At the same time, it was the first line of defense against the invasion of other worlds and higher dimensions. It could also be said to be the only city wall.
Moreover, the impact from other worlds and the energy tides between the dimensional gaps were not something that would occur once in a while. Back when he was studying the World Tree, Vadwo, the energy spikes that appeared from time to time made a certain someone's heart skip a beat.
If a magic apprentice was made into a fireball, it would cost about ten mana, as defined by someone. The magic gun used by Finn cost between 1 and 1.5 mana per bullet.
The energy tide that attacked Vadwal was observed and recorded to be between 1 million and 3.7 million mana. This number meant that if the World Tree was lost and the energy was allowed to invade the maze, at least a radius of tens of kilometers would be barren.
For the World Tree to be able to withstand such an energy wave, it didn't even take the magical gun that a certain someone was proud of as a combination of magic and technology seriously. Finn had once baptized the body of the World Tree with a rain of bullets, but not even the bark was scratched, which showed its excellent performance in resisting energy.
To a certain someone, living on such a tree was like living in a house built with sand on a beach. He thought that he lived in the first row with a beautiful environment and a good atmosphere. In fact, when the waves came, it was not a big deal to destroy the house. It would not be surprising if the waves took people away.
Admittedly, from the perspective of a Homo Sapiens, a certain someone would think that this was a very dangerous place to live. From the perspective of the World Tree, the elves living on it … were no different from parasites.
Marco Lin knew very well that the most important part of the World Tree was not the leaves, not the fruit, and not the legendary flower that only existed for a moment. Instead, it was the natural patterns on the bark. That was the real secret of the World Tree's ability to resist the energy surge caused by the dimensional gap.
In order to resist the impact from more dimensions, the World Tree had to grow taller and bigger. Because of this, it had enough surface area to form the natural patterns and strengthen its ability to resist the impact of energy. This was another important point of the World Tree's advancement.
What a certain someone could help in the advancement was to find the path to a higher dimension and the calculations needed to connect to another world. But how could the World Tree resist the energy feedback after connecting to another world? Most of it came from the inheritance of its species, and it had to make targeted defenses based on the target. Perhaps a certain someone could also help with the calculations and arrangements in this regard, provided that there was enough space to make such a plan.
In order to do this, the elves' dwellings on the tree shouldn't exist.
Also, the gaps created by the treehouses were not completely without side effects. At least in Lin's eyes, the area covered by the World Tree Lahti was just like the tree itself. There were gaps everywhere. The low-frequency energy surge that came through these gaps caused this place to be in a chaotic vortex of energy.
At this moment, the Lich came over together with the Elven sword dancer who was fighting passionately with her. To be honest, a certain someone really couldn't be jealous of these two. Even though the cat lying on his head should be painted green, which was more suitable for his current situation. Fen stood beside Lin and also looked up at the World Tree. She asked, "Did you see anything?"
"I have some ideas," Lin replied. He turned around and found that the two of them were staring straight at him. Of course, a certain someone knew that they were waiting for him to think. Lin Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "Li Ena, are you clear about the situation here?"
"Yes, I once had the opportunity to become a member of the Divine Wood Guards. What do you think?" Because of Fen, the female elf who was originally friendly to a certain man became closer to him. The conversation between the two was also more casual, unlike before, when there was more or less a bit of hypocrisy.
After receiving the female elf's answer, Lin asked, "I guess that elves who can live here for a long time must have a certain level of strength. Ordinary elves can't do it. That's right, right? "
"Yes, that's common sense. Especially children who are too young. It's easy for them to get sick in the World Tree's domain. This is a very rare phenomenon among elves. "
"Then let me guess again. Elves who can live here for a long time will accumulate strength and progress faster than other elves."
"How do you know this? Although this isn't our biggest secret, it's rarely revealed to outsiders. "
In response to Li Ena Titov's question, Lin simply said, "Anyone who has come here and seen the environment will probably be able to come to this conclusion. Let me guess again. In the World Tree's domain, there will occasionally be unknown monsters? "
"Human, how do you know this!"
The voice that asked the question came from the other side. The three people who were talking weren't very surprised because the other party didn't deliberately hide his tracks. The three people who were talking had already noticed. It was just that most people didn't know who the other party was, except for the female elf.
The one who appeared from the shadows was one of the current leaders of the Divine Wood Guards in Lahti, Ronan Peterson, an elven Extraordinary. The longbow and bowstring on his back seemed to be made of tree vines. It was a bit crude, but there was absolutely no need to doubt its power. Looking at the exuberant vitality that couldn't be concealed and the emerald green buds that emerged from the bow, one could tell that it was a part of the World Tree.
He strode forward with his head held high and questioned someone with a rather stern voice.
Lin shrugged and said, "It's not hard to guess. After all, this place is full of holes. It's not surprising that monsters would enter the maze through those holes. I would be surprised if such a situation didn't happen at all. "
Li Ena was quite surprised by the conversation between the two. She had never heard of monsters appearing in the hinterland of the World Tree. However, someone could make such a guess just by looking. He must know the reason and should have a way to prevent it. So she asked, "Mr. Cuipwood, since you know this, is there any way to stop it?"
After a moment of silence, Lin didn't directly answer.
The simplest way, of course, was to sweep away all the parasites on the World Tree. This meant that the Divine Wood Guards living above would have to be driven out of their homes, giving the tree a chance to recover to a complete state of protection.
However, considering that in such an environment, these elves would accumulate martial arts and magical power faster than the elves of the outside world. How to persuade them to give up such benefits was a difficult problem to solve, and it shouldn't be done by a certain person.
Of course, from the elves' standpoint, the best choice was to do as usual. The World Tree would advance in a more difficult way and consume most of the accumulated energy to protect the parasites on its body. Then, the elves would continue to use such an environment to improve their martial arts and various accumulations.
No matter which option it was, it wasn't wishful thinking on the part of the elves, or a decision they could make on their own. It also depended on the attitude of the World Tree. From the attitude of the wood elves and the elves who founded the country, one could clearly see the difference in attitude toward the World Tree. At least in the wood elf tribe, one wouldn't see anyone digging a hole in a tree and living in it for a long time.
Then, when he voiced his opinion, would it be the tipping point for the relationship between the two sides to break down? Or would it cause things to go in a direction that he didn't want to see?
After all, those with the title of "guardian" might not really think for the tribe. Thinking about the guardian of the silver-bearded dwarves, who was still locked up in his own dream and suffering the torment of those two avatars, Lin Sanjiu thought about it. Thinking about the countless Terminator movies that she had seen, Skynet had always had only one purpose.
It was difficult to voice these concerns on the spot. Of course, a certain person also wanted to do more observations and calculations to see how much consumption was behind each option. Perhaps with the support of the data, there would be different options.
