The World Tree stopped growing when it reached a radius of about ten meters. The huge canopy stretched out in all directions and then stopped, as if it had been there for hundreds of years. The emerald green leaves covered the canopy layer by layer, forming a quiet whole with the surrounding forest. Rays of sunlight shone down from the branches and leaves like golden swords. Brendel looked up and saw the green veins on every leaf, as if a layer of jade-green blood vessels were distributed all over the tree crown.
An ancient tree quietly sat in the center of the ancient and mysterious magic circle.
The Roman was stunned, and Romaine's mouth was wide open in shock, as if she was letting out a short 'Ah —'. Scarlet's amber eyes widened behind her, but ever since she followed Brando, most of the things she encountered were strange, and this strong-willed ponytailed girl had more or less developed some self-control, so her eyes were only filled with disbelief.
Metisha, who used to be the youngest Silver Elf princess, was slightly better. At least she still maintained the dignity of a Silver Elf, but her eyes flashed.
Only the Wild Elf elder sister, Felaern, still had a poker face. This was not because of her personality, but because she was a part of the rules of a Planeswalker. Unlike Metisha, who later became a 'Knight', she had a lot more experience. After experiencing something even more unbelievable, even if a real World Tree were to grow in front of his eyes, it would not seem so surprising anymore.
"Brando, you, you just planted a seed!?" The first to speak was the Roman girl. Romaine's face was filled with curiosity and excitement. She probably thought that Brando had done something amazing again, "How did a tree grow out of nowhere? It's growing so fast! Am I dreaming? Brando, pinch me! "
Brando glared at her and came back to his senses. Romaine's way of thinking could never be understood by a normal person. Just like when they first met Madara's undead in Bucce, she expressed her fear by saying, "Brando, will they eat us?". She also expressed her curiosity by saying, "Ah, that's amazing, Brando!"
"This is the World Tree, right?" Metisha turned around and asked. The Fairy Princess's silver eyes flashed with some kind of rationality, but she did not directly come to a conclusion, "My Lord?"
"No, rather than saying that it's … …" Brendel shook his head as he looked at the tree that could be considered 'huge'.
Instead of calling the tree the World Tree, it would be more appropriate to call it a 'town under the cover of a huge tree'. In some ways, it was like the World Tree in Valhalla. the same huge canopy, intertwined roots, and looked like a miniature version of the World Tree. But this tree stretched out in all directions at the top, and even at the foot of the tree, one could see that it formed a huge platform.
Rather than a platform, it was more like a square under the shade of the tree.
The brown trunks formed a towering wall, protecting the square above the wall. There were even some slender branches that grew from the edge of the square, weaving together to form railings or handrails. But from a standard military point of view, this was a parapet or parapet.
In short, the tree had grown into a small natural fortress.
"This looks like a castle, so beautiful …" Scarlet looked at the tree, or rather the small castle, in a daze. It was just like the castle in the forest described in fairy tales where the sleeping princess lived. It had a dream-like verdant color. Even though the red-haired girl had long since tied her long hair behind her head like a true daughter of the mountain people and picked up a spear to throw herself into battle, she would still occasionally reminisce about the days when she longed for the fairy tales of the past.
After all, compared to that, she would rather be a normal girl with the right to dream. Of course, if the lord was willing to give her such a castle … Ah, Scarlet couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.
The Roman had already begun circling the tree, and it was obvious that she wanted to go up. After a while, the cute girl found a treasure: "There's a ladder here, Brando!"
There was indeed a ladder behind the ancient tree, like a spiral staircase to welcome guests, or rather, to welcome the master. The spiral staircase hung from the top of the tree. It grew naturally from the vines attached to the trunk, but it didn't look thick at all. Instead, it looked like it had been artificially woven, exquisite and beautiful.
The width between each step was just right. The moment you saw this ladder, you would know that it wouldn't take much effort to climb it up. Moreover, it had a kind of intimate atmosphere, and no one would suspect that it was a trap.
"Are we going up?" The merchant girl looked up, her beautiful bangs sliding to the sides, revealing her flat forehead. She blinked and asked Brando.
Brando looked at the others.
In the past, he had developed a habit in the game, which made him habitually ask for the opinions of the players in the same party, even though there was probably no other 'player' here except for him. The quiet Silver Elf Princess, the Wild Elf Sister who would not disobey his orders even though she was very annoying. She was the 'Secretary', or rather the Head Maid who was always by his side, and these were the roles that his subordinates recognized. There was also the little Roman and the mercenary girl who followed his orders. These girls were actually led by him.
Brando quickly realized that he had made a habitual mistake. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. After all, habits in the game couldn't be changed in such a short time.
The Fairy Princess saw the embarrassment of the Lord and smiled faintly: "We Elves are very sensitive to the atmosphere of nature. This tree gives me a feeling of intimacy. But it's not a spontaneous feeling of intimacy. It's more like a feeling of 'home', as if it's inviting us up. "
"Yes, actually I have the same feeling." Brando nodded, but his words were not entirely correct. For him, the relationship between the tree and him was more like a subordinate relationship. Because the city core that was planted was bound to him, he had a vague feeling that he could control everything in front of him. He even felt that he could command the spiral ladder.
This feeling was so strong that Brando couldn't help but give an order in his mind. "Shrink back." He ordered, and a soft rustling sound was heard. A miracle happened. The naturally hanging vine ladder actually retracted. It was as if the vines had suddenly come alive. They retracted and turned back into ordinary plants that clung to the tree trunk.
"Ah." The Roman was shocked and quickly hid behind Brando.
"You can command it?" Metisha asked in surprise.
Brando nodded. He was also very curious, but this curiosity had a certain guess. If this guess was true, then all of this would be a little too unbelievable.
"Let's go up and take a look." He immediately said.
At this time, the curiosity of the others was more or less aroused. Even the expressionless Felaern couldn't help but carefully observe the vine ladder that was once again hanging down. The ladder was actually very sturdy. As expected, the group climbed up the spiral ladder without much effort. It was as if the ancient tree was holding them up. Soon, everyone reached the top of the trunk.
What appeared in front of them was a small circular square. Under the lush shade of the tree, the square was about a hundred steps from one end to the other. It was wider than expected. Surprisingly, the ground of the square was covered with a layer of stone instead of wood. A small fountain stood in the middle of the square, and the bottom of the fountain was full of shining pebbles. On one side of the square, there was a large hall. The architectural style of the building was similar to that of the elves' houses. The pure wooden structure was built with arched beams and a tall roof that was full of fantasy.
Everyone was stunned.
"This … … is the City Hall." Metisha recognized this building. For the first time, her eyes showed disbelief, "Could it be that this tree is actually a magic town?"
"I'm afraid you guessed right … …" Brando felt as if he had been hit by a huge surprise.
Because of this, he was only suspicious at first, but when he saw this hall, he was sure without a doubt. Valhalla was a tree, a living city. A city could grow naturally and didn't need to be expanded. Its branches and leaves could shelter the entire territory from the wind and rain, and the city was a whole, so it was much easier to defend.
Too cool!
This was definitely the territory that Brando dreamed of. Although Valhalla was still very small, and the distance from one end to the other was only thirty meters, but even so, it already had the embryonic form of a magic town. In the City Hall, Brando saw the full map of Valhalla. The map was presented on a wooden platform in the middle of the hall. Or rather, it was a natural tree stump. A crystal grew out of the tree stump, and the entire structure of Valhalla was projected in this crystal. It was hollow, and there were stairs from the four sides of the square that led down to the hollow branches of the ancient tree.
The bottom was divided into many large and small rooms, which seemed to be the residential area and the natural warehouse of the town's residents. Brando found that this area could be transformed into a military camp, or perhaps it was the original intention of its existence.
There was also a passageway in the Town Hall that led downwards. This passageway was connected to the three rooms at the bottom of the tree trunk. These three rooms had natural mana pools. These mana pools were connected to the ground by the massive roots of the ancient tree, so they could produce an endless supply of mana. These rooms were called the Magic Nest, and this was where the nest was located. At the same time, it could also be transformed into a crystal pool, or an alchemy laboratory (wizard tower).
"There are actually three mana pools!" Metisha looked at the holographic map and was shocked. "Such a small magic town, no matter how you look at it, it can only be considered a beginner territory!?"
"Beginner territory? What's that? "The other girls looked at the Fairy Princess in confusion.

(PS: A few days ago, the network in this area was under maintenance, so there were no updates. The nearby Internet cafes also can't be accessed, so there was no notification on QQ. It seems like it's missing 3-4 chapters, and with the benefits, it's a total of 5 chapters. Of course, it's not realistic to finish it in one day, so let's just update it for a few days.
Also, I apologize for the lack of updates a few days ago. It was really unavoidable. Meow, I was leading the team that day and I dropped it. It was too embarrassing.) (To be continued.)
