The Amber Sword

Chapter 495: Act 231 City of Trees (II)

The world tree grows to a radius of almost 10 metres and stops growing. The vast canopy stretches around and then stands still, like a hundred years later, the green leaves cover a layer and connect to the surrounding forests as a quiet whole. The sun dropped a golden sword between the branches, and Brando raised his head and saw the green lines clearly visible on each leaf vein, as if a layer of emerald vascular mesh were distributed across the tree crown.

An ancient tree sits quietly in the middle of the ancient magic array of Xuan 'ao -

Roman looked stunned, and the businesswoman opened her mouth in amazement, as if she had made a short ‘ah-’ tone. Sy couldn't help but stare at Amber's eyes behind her, but most of the things she had encountered since she was with Brando had been strange, and the strong ponytail girl had developed some strength, so the eyes were just incredible at the moment.

Once the youngest princess of the Pokémon, Metissa behaved slightly better, at least maintaining the silver folk's grip, but her eyes sparkled.

Only the elf's sister, Miss Flo, still has a poker face for 10,000 years. This is not so much because of her personality, but because she herself is part of the whole rules of the Brigadier Master - she has much more experience than Metissa, who later became a 'knight'. After more incredible things, even if a real world tree grows in front of us, it doesn't seem so surprising.

“Brando, did you just plant the tree species?!” The first to ask was Little Roman, the merchant lady's face was confused, rather than curious, about Brando doing another terrific thing: “How did a tree grow so fast! Am I dreaming, Brando? Pinch me! ”

Brando glanced at her and looked back at her. The way businessmen think is never normal, just like when Butch first met Madara's dead spirit, she expressed her fear —— ‘Brando, will they eat us?’ Most of the way she expresses her curiosity is... 'Ah, that's amazing, Brando! ’

“This is the Tree of the World, right?” Metissa turns back and asks, "Lord Lord? ”

“No, this is not so much..." Brando looked up at the tree, which could be described as‘ huge ’, and shook his head.

This tree is more appropriately described than a world tree as a 'town sheltered under a giant crown’. In some ways, it's really like the world tree in Valhalla, and the same huge crown, the interlocking root branch of the plate, is like a miniature version of the model. But the tree stretches to four sides at the top, and even at the foot of the tree, you can see that it forms a huge platform.

It's a platform, or rather a square in the shade.

Brown trunks form towering walls that protect the square above the walls, and even the edges of the square grow thinner branches that weave each other into railings or armrests, but from a standard military gaze, that's chest walls or even women's walls.

All in all, this tree has grown into a small natural fortress ——

“It's like a castle, it's beautiful...” Sy looked at the tree in a stunning way, or this little castle, like the forest castle of a sleeping princess described in the fairy tale, and it was as pale as a dream. Even if a red-haired girl would have tied her long hair behind her head like a true mountain girl, picked up a rifle and put it into battle, she occasionally missed the stories of her past fairy tales.

After all, she prefers to be just an ordinary girl with the right to dream. Of course, if Lord willing to give her such a castle... ah, Sy can't help but want to stay for a while.

Roman started circling around the tree a long time ago, and she could tell —— she wanted to go up there. After a while, this lovely little girl discovered the baby: "There's a ladder over here, Brando! ”

There is a ladder behind the ancient tree, just like a welcome guest - or a welcome master's ladder, which drapes down from the top of the tree - it is naturally grown from vines attached to the trunk, but does not appear coarse at all, but rather is artificially woven - exquisite and beautiful.

And the width between each step is just right, and the first time you look at this ladder, you'll know that you're walking up the stairs, and you won't have to work too hard. Besides, it has a friendly atmosphere that does not make one suspect that it is a trap.

“Shall we go up?” The merchant lady raised her head and the beautiful Liu Hai slid to both sides revealing her flat jade forehead below. She blinked and asked Brando.

Brando looked at the others.

It has become a habit in past games for him to habitually ask the opinions of his teammates, although there probably isn't a 'player’ here other than him. The quiet Silver Fairy Princess, who disgusts but does not disobey his orders, is a Wild Fairy sister's 'secretary' - or now an inseparable maid of honor, a recognized identity of Brando's. And Little Roman and the Mercenary Girl, whom only his life depends on, several girls are actually headed by him.

Brando soon discovered that he had made this habitual mistake, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. After all, the habits in the game could not be changed.

Instead, the Fairy Princess saw the Lord's embarrassment and smiled slightly: "Our Fairy is sensitive to the natural atmosphere, and this tree makes me feel close. But it's not that spontaneous intimacy, it's more like ‘home’, it's like inviting us up. ”

“Well, I actually feel the same way.” Brando nodded, but neither did his words. For him, the tree was more like a subordinate relationship, because the core of the city he planted was tied to him, so now he has a sense of control over everything he sees in front of him, and even this spiral he feels he can command.

This feeling was so strong that Brando couldn't resist giving an order in his heart. “Retract.” He commanded that he would listen only to a slight chirp - a miracle had happened, and the naturally drowning vine ladder had actually been retrieved, as if those vines had suddenly come back to life, shrinking back to become ordinary plants climbing on tree trunks.

“Ah.” Roman freaked out, and she quickly hid behind Brando.

“Can you order it?” Metisa asked in surprise.

Brando nodded, and he was curious, but this curiosity carried some speculation, and if that speculation were to come true, it would all be incredible.

“Let's go up and see.” He said immediately.

Others were more or less attracted to curiosity at this time, and even the faceless Frou could not help but take a closer look at the re-dripping vine ladder. The ladder was actually sturdy, and as expected, a pedestrian climbed up the spiral ladder without much effort, just as the ancient tree was holding them up, and everyone quickly came to the top of the trunk.

In the curtains emerge a small, circular square, lush under the shade of , which is about a hundred steps from this side to that side, a bit wider than expected. Amazingly, the square has a slab of stone on the ground, not the wood you can imagine, and a small fountain stands in the center of the square, all under the water with shiny pebbles. On one side of the square, there is a lobby, architectural as if it were those elves' houses, with purely wooden structures built in fantastic colors through arches and towering roofs.

Everyone was shocked.

“This… city hall.” Metissa did recognize the building, and for the first time, she had an incredible look in her eyes: “Is the tree itself a magical town? ”

“I'm afraid you're right...” Brando felt struck by a huge surprise.

Exactly, he was still skeptical, but when he saw the hall, he was sure - Valhalla is a tree, a living city - that a city can grow naturally without artificial expansion, that its branches cover the entire territory from the storm, and that the city is a whole and much easier to defend.

That's awesome!

This is absolutely Brando's dream territory, although Valhalla is still very small, not more than thirty meters from this end of the ancient tree branch to that end, but even so, it already has a magical town prototype. In the city hall, Brando saw the full picture of Valhalla. The map is presented on a wooden platform in the middle of the hall —— or rather, a natural stump, with a crystal growing on it, in which the entire structure of Valhalla is projected —— and it is hollow, with downward staircases leading from all sides of the square to the interior of the trunks in the middle of the ancient trees.

The following is divided into many large and small rooms, which seem to be residential areas and natural warehouses for the inhabitants of this town, and Brando finds that this area can be completely transformed into a barracks, or perhaps that's what it was meant to be.

And there's also a downward tunnel in the town hall, which connects the three lowest rooms in the trunk, all of which have natural magic pools - all connected underground by the vast roots of ancient trees, thus creating constant magic. This room is called the Magic Nest, which is where the nest is located, and can also be transformed into a crystal pool or an alchemy lab (the Wizard's Tower).

“There are three magic pools!” Metissa looked at this holographic map and was shocked: "How can such a small magic town be considered a primary territory?!? ”

“Primary Territory? What was that?” Several other girls looked back at the fairy princess, puzzled.

(PS: The network maintenance in this area was not updated the other day, and the nearby internet cafe didn't seem to work, so I didn't notify QQ. It seems like 3-4 chapters are missing, plus a total of 5 chapters for welfare. Of course, it is unrealistic to make up for one day, just 2 or more days, fine water flow.

Besides, I apologize for breaking things a few days ago. It was just force majeure. Meow said that I was losing my regiment that day. It was embarrassing, kneeling.) (To be continued.
