The Amber Sword

Overlooking the sky, the Tonigle area has two high and low middle ends, a basin to the south-west, and Cold Cedar Castle is situated in this direction. Looking east from Cold Cedar Castle, beneath the blue sky lies the shadows of mountains and fluctuations. Large hilly areas flatten from the western foothills of Grahar Mountain, where tributaries of the River Gris meet, the best hunting grounds from autumn to winter are the densest areas of the mountains.

Located at the junction of the Mintai area with Cold Cedar Collar, it connects north with Pallas and eastward access to the Chaffrend Mine, blocking one of Tonigal's most important outward corridors, which is the best location for Tonigal Fortress, as Brando envisioned.

Although the terrain is uneven, the terrain has never been a problem for dwarves. It was only for financial reasons that the plan had begun, with some troops stationed in the hills and only a few fortifications erected on the main roads.

And in the heart of the hills, forests are thought to divide an empty area, which should have been a place of lush grass, now covered with rocks collected from the forests, with a huge legal formation engraved on the uneven surface of the gray.

Plural concentric circles form the subject of this matrix, filled with mysterious symbols, even if they are identified by the most famous masters of the Royal Eruin Society, they do not necessarily recognize these ancient texts. For Brando, this matrix comes at least from the days before the Dragon of Darkness and must go back to the Battle of Dusk.

There is a mysterious force flowing in the formation, like the whispers of the woods, a purely natural force overflowing the forest, and many green vines grow at visible speeds in the gap between the rocks. Although it was only less than a week old, the vines seemed to be sleeping in the forest for hundreds of years. This abnormal flourishing of plants has persisted for several days, as if the Falun Front could muster magic in the forest.

This is the completed Valhalla Central Law Front, which has a groove in the center that fits exactly into Brando's city core, which is where it's set aside.

“The Magic Front does not need an external source of magic, and once completed, it can extract free magic, so powerful that even our Silver Pokémon do not have it.” Metisa looked at the Falun Front in the forest and exclaimed, “What a pure natural breath, Lord. You are amazing. ”

“This is not my work.” Brando answered with embarrassment.

“That being said, no one can interpret the information on the Crystal Front, not even the elders of Druid, who came from the Black Forest, who happen to have read ancient books in this regard, cannot but say that it is a fateful choice.” Behind Brando, Sister of the Wild Pokémon also agrees with Princess Pokémon.

When Flo said that, Brando laughed. Where there are ancient books, he can interpret this crystal more or less because of his special identity, he can understand the true purpose of an object by projecting additional information onto the retina, and natives can only guess what a magical object does by archaeological or general identification.

“So, Brando, when do you put the crystals on?” Roman sat on the rock and asked.

“Should be right now.” Brando replied.

He has also seen in past games the cultivation of the city's core, which is actually a semi-intelligent artificial life, planted underground like a tree species, and then injected with magic to grow it.

But before we can plant it, we need a law line to reinforce it, and Brando is the first to see it. He inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove in the middle of the Phalanx and felt the crystal buzzing in his hand, as if it had a faint glow, and the light flowed along the Phalanx symbol like gold water.

Brando shook his head quickly.

At that moment, he almost thought he was mistaken because he had a row of green text on his retina asking:

“A strange request to access the Lord's system. ”

Brando's Lordship System was actually turned on the first time he gained Lordship, and after that the Lordship System was kind of like a town panel in the SLG game that could be used to monitor the operation of his territory.

For example, Brando now has two downward submenus in his lordship system, Wind Ring and Tonigal (23 territories), where he can see income and expenditure, specialties, population, mine forest resources, and security, among others.

It also comes with a set of data on personnel appointments, such as who is currently in charge on different sub-options. For example, in Tony Gehr's Financial Situation Panel, Roman is the person responsible.

If Brando were to move Roman from this position at this moment, he would see a series of implications for the future of the Territory's finances. This system exists in the game, just more powerful in the game, where player lords can even complete personnel appointments and make some decrees.

But in this Vaughn world, the Territorial System is not operational, it's basically just a surveillance system. It's just surveillance, it's powerful. Brando can see that if Roman were to be placed in charge of the Silver Mine in Schafflund, that would raise revenues from the silver mine by nearly a third after the next three months.

The businesswoman's abilities were not intuitive until he discovered the secrets of the Lordship system, but even so, he preferred to keep Roman in charge of Tonigal's financial power.

Although Little Roman is far less talented in financial management than she is in business, the trade in the Territory today is not just the revenues from silver mines, but in terms of total volume, she stays in this position much more economically than it is for him to be in charge of what mines.

Of course, these are off-topic. Brando looked at which line of haunted text hovered over his retina, stumbled slightly, and then agreed to the request.

Subsequently, there was immediately an additional subsystem under the Lords' system, named Valhalla. But the system was still gray, and Brando tried to touch it, but immediately got a hint:

“The first stage of Valhalla cultivation requires 132,000 magic powers. ”

“132,000 units of magic!?” Brando startled, and the magic unit here is magic, and 130,000 magic is certainly not available to anyone - even wizard chiefs like William and Tulaman are presumably sucked into adulthood - so much magic can only be output by magic crystals, and Brando reacts immediately.

The lowest of the magic crystals is the secondary moonstone, followed by the flamed onion. However, he was not a wizard or a professional alchemist before. I really don't know how many units of magic the second moonstone can convert into. He was a bit awkward at a time. If the conversion ratio is too low, then this thing called 'Valhalla’ is purely a black hole without a bottom.

To think of it, Brando hurried out of the Dimensional Hole to take out the already prepared magic crystal, which is a secondary moonstone. The vein quality of the magic crystal mine in the Black Forest is still good. At least this secondary moonstone has much more magic on it than Brando has ever seen on the market.

He threw the second moonstone into the array, almost blinking, and the diamond-shaped magic crystal lost its color and became transparent like glass. And the tips in Brando's retina have changed:

“In Valhalla cultivation, the first stage requires magic 131900. ”

“1: 100.” Brando was relieved, and if the lowest level of the moon crystal exchanged 100 units of magic, then the advanced magic crystal would be silent. He tried flameless agate again, and it turns out that the exchange ratio for a flameless agate was about 2000.

So 130,000 units of magic require just a few hundred bucks of magic crystals. The first magic crystal mined in the Black Forest was a ton of magic crystals, and the magic crystals used in the territory at this moment are actually from the forging factory of a bunch of magicians such as Charles and Rupert and Master Tamar, so Brando's one that divides almost half of this exploitation into its own pocket will not be enough to take into account the magic crystals needed by Valhalla.

But he soon realized he was too naive.

Hundreds of crystals were thrown back in exchange for a pile of clear, colorless glass, at a time when the city core finally absorbed enough magic for the first phase, and the whole crystal made a creaking sound, and there were a lot of tortoises right up there.

Then clicked, the core of the city actually split in front of the public and grew out of the original groove...

A little tree bud.

“It's gross!” With Brando's insight, I couldn't bear to look at this moment. Planting the heart of the city like a tree seed would be outrageous enough. I didn't expect to really give him a seedling.

But Brando also knew that the tree was definitely different, and no one would believe that what hundreds of magic crystals smashed into would be an ordinary sapling - a sapling that grew windward at an incredible rate, almost as high as Brando.

Brando raised his head and saw that the seedlings had begun to grow thicker and longer, stretching out the branches, like the holy trees of ancient elves, and grew up momentarily to the point of needing a single hug, a few meters high.

In just one minute, this‘ sapling 'has grown to a level that would take at least 10 years for ordinary wood to reach, but it has no intention of stopping.

Everyone present saw the emergence of dense aerobic roots on the trunks, as well as the formation of rocks beneath the surface of the legal position, with many root systems that lifted the slabs, which also grew at visible speeds and then tied together.

Breathe a few breaths, and the 'saplings’ turn again.

Looks like an ancient tree.

“This… is…” At this time, Brando's sleeping Otales woke up feeling a dramatic change in the magic around her, and she couldn't speak a word as soon as she saw the tree.

Brando actually couldn't speak long ago.

Because right in front of him, the seedlings were getting thicker and thicker, and countless roots and branches were stretching out of the trunk, which had risen to the point where it would take seven or eight people to hug each other. But the tree was never high enough to stay a few meters from the ground. At this point, Brando gradually saw the tree, and it actually formed a natural square between the crown layers.

“Shit!” Brando finally reacted: “Isn't that the tree of the world in the ring of the wind? ”
