Let's Manage The Tower

(7) Influence

I was able to get tips from unexpected sources about the LV up condition of the Four Attributes Tower.

Where it comes from is Essena, the fairy of the world tree.

When I heard about the state of the world trees for the first time in a long time, I heard something from Essena that bothered me.

"Niisama"

As she lay on the sofa in a relaxing space, Essena suddenly appeared.

"Hmm? Essena. What's the matter, it's unusual."

The sudden appearance of Essena is not unusual in itself.

It is unusual for her to appear spontaneously before the examiner.

At first, anyway, the spirit matures (?) Since then, it has hardly appeared unless called.

However, even if Kaiseki herself did not say her name, she appeared thinking about what Essena was doing in her heart.

I didn't think about Essena at all now, so I was completely surprised.

"Nothing, but I wanted to talk to you once in a while... Was it annoying?

"No, I don't think so."

Unusual sweetness (?) I smiled nicely at Essena when she came.

Looking at her face, Essena also had a nice look.

"You don't have to look like that. Don't hesitate to come here anytime.

While saying so, Kaiseki reached out to Essena's head and stroked her.

Even though Essena looks like an adult woman today, she still treats her like that with remnants of the past.

If Esena herself hated it, she would have stopped it, but since she looks happy, she hasn't stopped.

Even now, my eyes were narrowed and I looked happy.

For Kaiseki, it's like a cat to miss.

After stroking my head, I asked about the current state of the world tree.

"So? When I asked you before, you said you were almost done adjusting the nine levels, but was there anything else?

The world tree serves to organize the flow of the ground vein.

Kaiseki understood that influence was like dominance over the local veins.

"Now the nine floors of the area are completely under control. If I try, I can interfere with the monsters that come out there."

"Eh!? Is that so?

"Yes, monsters are affected by magic and sanctity."

This is the first information I've heard.

I've heard before that Essena is spreading her influence on the veins as a global tree.

But this time, the monsters are able to interfere.

However, even if it is said to interfere, it seems that it is possible to order some degree, such as not to come any closer, or to enter only this group.

It's more like a defense function to keep you from getting closer to something that would deplete you than it exists as a world tree.

There has always been such a function, but the scope now extends to all nine levels.

Even though it will be quite large in one level, it will be quite large in all nine levels.

After hearing the story, Kaiseki looked at Essena in surprise.

That's amazing.

But for this, Essena leaned her head.

"Really? In the first place, the bigger our species grows, the wider its influence on monsters. With more years, you'll be able to have more influence.

Hmm. I'll see you later. "

It's a surprising study aid, but it's not really that surprising.

There are still a few trees in the world, but some of them seem to affect the entire continent.

The range that Essena is exerting right now is not too wide compared to that.

I see.

"Besides, I'm still going to be able to extend my influence."

Heh.

I accidentally tried to listen to Essena's words, but I thought about the meaning and stopped thinking.

If you think about it again, there is something strange.

Rather than being strange, is it strange considering what I had in mind up until now?

I noticed that there was something strange in Essena's words, but I thought a little before I heard it.

"Hmm? Where do you think you're going to expand your influence?

Essena leaned her neck to ask about the examiner.

"Huh? There's still a hierarchy in the north tower, right?

"Yes, but... What!? Can you spread your influence on monsters even if the space is not connected?!

"You can do it, right?

Seeing Essena with a strange face, the examiner was very surprised.

Until now, we thought that only the amount spread by hierarchical synthesis could have an influence.

However, if you think about it, you can also influence the terrestrial veins in a hierarchy that is not hierarchically composited.

You can also use your sanctity and magic to influence monsters.

I added an explanation as to whether Essena also noticed the state of the exam aid.

"Of course, it doesn't take much effort or time to connect spaces by matching hierarchies, but even if they're not connected, it's not absolutely impossible. Rather, I've spent a lot of time spreading it out little by little."

This is the first time I've heard of it.

However, I didn't think about it in any magical or sacred sense, only if the monster moved physically.

"Does that mean that magic and sanctity are moving to each level?

"That's right. It moves very little naturally, but it's not completely disconnected."

The examiner roared at the unexpected answer.

Incidentally, the movement of magic and sanctity is basically based on the transfer gate originally installed in the tower.

For example, in three levels where two levels and four levels are connected by a transfer gate, the magic and sacred power of the three levels flows into two levels and four levels.

The reverse is also true.

Here, if a transfer gate is installed in three levels and further into ten levels, a new interaction with the ten levels occurs.

However, this is naturally a minor impact compared to the case where it was physically connected by hierarchical synthesis.

After hearing Essena's story, Kaiseki quickly arrived at the Northwest Tower.

What we have here is the hierarchy set up by.

"Sylf, are you there?

"Yes, what?

As soon as Kaiseki called, Silf, the fairy of the wind, appeared.

"Perhaps the power of the wind flows from this jewel, right?

"Of course."

Naturally, the results of everything we did at the beginning still appear in the jewels today.

You might say that the power of the wind is overflowing.

Specifically, the wind power is both the magic of the wind attribute and the sacred power of the wind attribute.

They simply call it the power of the wind.

"Does that flow go not only to this hierarchy, but also to other hierarchies?

In response to the question from the examiner, Sylf looked jittery.

"Of course.

"... is that what this is about?"

The examiner put his head to Silf, who looked as though it would be obvious.

I didn't know why Wind Tiger appeared, but I wondered if this was the reason.

Wind jewels overflow this hierarchy, influencing other hierarchies as well.

Wind Tigers were born when the power of the wind influenced Tigers' evolution, just as the world trees had an influence on monsters.

It took ten years to evolve, and it took time for the jewels to gain influence.

Considering the power of the wind, it is believed that the hierarchy installed by is the strongest, but since the seeds that can evolve into the wind attributes were not summoned as family members, they could not be summoned immediately.

In fact, there are no family members in the hierarchy where the examiners are now.

The same applies to towers other than the towers in the northwest.

It is not so easy to raise the Tower LV without knowing which family members will play an evolutionary role with each attribute.

However, it can be said that a much more thorough reflection has been made than before, when it was in the state of being at hand.

Simply try to evolve with attributes in a hierarchy as close to the hierarchy where the jewels are placed as possible.

As for the four-attribute tower, it can be said that the way to proceed has finally come to be seen.
