"Say, you've all lived for so long. Has none of you realized this?" asked Lin.
Some trees said yes, and some shook their heads … if their incarnations had heads.
"Then have you never thought of fixing it?" asked Lin again.
"It's faster to steal it!" A certain World Tree said what all the trees were thinking.
…
Faced with such wisdom, a certain someone could only be speechless. However, Lin asked again, "But you've been stuck in the Magic Tower for so long. Has none of you tried to walk back this way?"
"That's because we haven't thought of it yet."
It was another person's answer that made a certain someone want to retort. It had been hundreds of years, and nobody had thought of it. Even dinosaurs weren't that slow.
He heaved a long sigh and gave up helplessly. He felt that arguing with plants would shorten his lifespan. "In short, I've told you all the mathematical methods you can use to improve your core a long time ago. You can study them yourselves. I'm sure you know the successful case of my cooperation with Fasnus. I don't need to say anything more, do I? "
"Mr. Tripwood." As the one who was most familiar with a certain Mage, Walder spoke on behalf of the other World Trees. "You don't know what happened that day, do you?"
"Yes, I did hear that when Fasnus and I were doing the modification work, it was very chaotic outside. I think it was caused by too many unnecessary changes that were too frequent. "
A certain someone remembered that not long ago, when he learned of the disaster at the dinner table, he realized that he was very likely to be the culprit after comparing the time of the disaster. He reviewed what he and Fasnus had done. If he had to point out a failure, it was that there were too many redundant calculations and repetitive changes.
Many adjustments would affect the parts that had been done before. In order to achieve a new balance, he had to overturn the previous answer and recalculate the relative positions of the core magic arrays. After obtaining a new answer, Fasnus would adjust his core magic arrays accordingly. Sometimes, the parts that had just been moved might have to be moved back to their original positions after two or three rounds of calculations.
Only after countless rounds did he approach the almost perfect answer. However, in the countless rounds of recalculation, Fasnus' core magic arrays had also been changed countless times. And these changes seemed to be reflected on the Maze Continent, causing a disaster.
Of course, Lin had been looking for a way to resolve this situation over the past few days. So he said:
"If you don't mind disclosing your core, then I'm willing to assist the participants in doing simulation calculations before the actual core adjustments. After confirming that the final result was what we expected, we began to adjust the core of the participants. I hope that by reducing the number and time of each core member's movements, we can reduce the influence on the maze. Moreover, the more people involved in this matter, the better. Because each of you has amazing computing power, the more computing power we have, the faster we can get the results. "
"Is this what you call 'self-cultivation'? Then, what Ground Governance is going to target is the problem of the elementary meditation array, right? "Yuktrasir said.
"Yes."
"Then, Your Excellency, how do you plan to solve the problem of the imbalance of power between all the World Trees in the Mesmerizing Meditation Formation?"
In response to the old man's question, Lin answered, "The solution is simple. Discard it and replace it with a new magic circle."
Such an answer didn't scare the World Trees, but it was close. Wadwo widened his doe eyes and used his old nickname. He said in confusion, "Old Guy, what you're talking about isn't the graffiti on the floor or the layout of your Magic Tower that you can change however you want. How are you going to discard the old and replace it with a new one? "
Lin explained, "This matter isn't as difficult as Your Majesties imagine, but it's not simple either. Let's talk about how to destroy the old meditation array first. "
Zooming in on the displayed part of the map, it was the main power transmission channel in the middle of the meditation array. In the actual geography of the maze, it was a long river formed by the convergence of several rivers and then divided into several more. Two World Trees were located near the main river upstream and downstream, forming a natural node and channel of the magic circle.
However, the part that Danlin showed was the dry section before the upstream converge. It was only after the next river joined that the river would it grow strong again.
In fact, this part was the result of Lin's investigation in the past three days. If it was three days ago, the water flow wouldn't be like this. Because of the non-natural disaster three days ago, there was an additional lake in the upstream section, causing the water flow in this section to drop to the point of almost drying up.
At this time, all the World Trees understood that as long as they blocked this dry section of the river, the Maze Meditation Array would be divided into two unrelated halves and lose the ability to operate. It was the easiest way to destroy it, and it wouldn't have much of an impact on the actual upstream and downstream areas of the river.
Of course, there would be some changes in the amount of water. However, such a change had already appeared when the upstream distributary lake had appeared.
And to block a dry river, the amount of work required was not too difficult for a Mage or a World Tree tribe. Therefore, the trees skipped over this point and asked about another more important matter. "Since the old magic circle can be destroyed, how are you going to build a new one? Also, what kind of magic circle do you plan to build? "
Lin controlled the map and restored it to the map of the Maze Ground, marking the 19 high seats of the original Turtledove Alliance, as well as Lahti from the Elven Kingdom and the Ancient of the underground world – Fasnath. In addition to these 21 high seats, there were still 4 World Trees that hadn't joined the Turtledove Alliance. The Elven Kingdom occupied 3 on the surface and 1 underground, for a total of 25 World Trees.
Then, the map of the Maze Ground was divided into five regions: east, south, west, north, and center. In each region, there was 1 World Tree in the north, 9 World Trees in the south, 3 World Trees in the east, 7 World Trees in the west, and 5 World Trees in the center.
Lin said at this time: "In the knowledge of the average person, a magic circle must have a common channel, that is, a line, to connect all runes. It's the same for a magic circle. But the communication between World Trees isn't limited to the Maze Ground. There are other ways, ways unique to the World Trees. "
"Your Excellency is referring to the dimensional gap?"
"Yes." Lin flicked his finger and changed the original map into a schematic diagram of two huge trees. In addition to the arrows on the ground representing the flow of energy moving from one tree to another, there was a strange scene of chaos above the treetops. There were also dotted arrows of varying colors moving from tree to tree.
"… The biggest advantage of this magic circle is that it doesn't have to pursue a complete closure. The focus is on grouping. Apart from the World Tree at the end, which only connects to one tree, the other World Trees connect to one tree in the north, south, east, and west, forming a group. But the central part is the most special. With His Majesty Yuktrasir as the center, one tree in the north, south, east, and west are connected to one tree in each direction, forming a cross-shaped group. In the north, His Majesty Fasnath is the sole leader. … "
To go to the World Tree Fasnath's territory, one had to enter the underground world south of the Gewa Empire's Southern Border. This was the part that Malcolm had already revealed. Lin didn't know how to proceed in the underground world.
But after he went to Fasnath's territory, he detected the location of the Maze Ground, which was actually in the north of the continent. Far north of the Gewa Empire's Northern Border, in the underground world within the Su Li Tang Empire.
"… And the World Trees that communicate with each group and the dimensional passageways are established using the method that Your Majesty is most familiar with."
The magic circle that Lin displayed was the most primitive form of Blink. At the same time, it was also the basic passageway magic circle that the World Trees used to communicate with other worlds. The Maze Ground's teleportation magic was also developed based on this. For the World Trees that could connect to different dimensions and ultra-long distances, a magic circle that only connected two places in the Maze Ground was like a child's level of shallow knowledge. There was no difficulty to speak of.
Because it was too simple, a tree asked: "Do we just need to connect to each other like how we connect to other worlds? If it's so simple, why don't we connect to each other and string all the trees together? "
Lin shook his head mysteriously and said with a smile: "Of course that's not enough, Your Majesty. In addition to the World Trees that are divided into five groups, we still need to establish four other groups. They are eight base points in the northeast, six base points in the northwest, four base points in the southeast, and two base points in the southwest. In my investigation over the past three days, these are the most suitable places as base points. "
Lin marked the selected places on the map of the Maze Ground. And these marked places made many of the World Trees thoughtful. Apart from Fasnath, who already knew, the other trees asked, "Mr. Mage, why did you choose this place?"
"Because this is the ruins of the World Trees that have been conquered." Lin didn't know if it was because there were enough dead World Trees or if it was really so coincidental, but he really found enough World Tree remains in these four directions. Of course, he first asked Fasnath the location of the destroyed World Trees in his memory. Then, he confirmed that the remains of the World Trees still existed before marking them.
But such an action alarmed the World Trees. Every defeated World Tree would become the foundation of the winner's advancement. At the same time, the elven population that originally belonged to the winner would also be absorbed by the winner, and then the winner would become stronger. But now, he mentioned them again. Was he going to give back the benefits that all the trees had obtained? So, a tree asked, "Mr. Mage, do you plan to resurrect them?"
"Resurrect? No, not resurrect any World Trees. Or rather, they must be dead. If they show signs of being alive, we'll have to kill them again! "Lin said decisively.
The trees were relieved by the human Mage's answer, but they were also somewhat puzzled. The base points established by the remains of the World Trees had to be used. Except for the two base points in the southwest corner, the connection between the base points in the other three directions was a closed loop. It was completely different from the lines formed by the living World Trees in the east, west, and south directions.
It was just that the knowledgeable World Trees had never seen such a magic array. Using the World Trees as nodes, they were connected into nine small groups. It was neither symmetrical nor a complete closed loop. So, a tree asked curiously, "Mr. Mage, what is the function of this magic array?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "It has no function."
The World Trees were shocked.
"But it's all-inclusive."
The trees were baffled.
"The name of this array is the Book of Luo."
