The Amber Sword

This is the portal type of nest, which appears to be a channel that connects to a secondary level, and this type of nest generates organisms mostly in the form of summoning, in exchange for equivalence, to serve the summoner. Brando looked at the light door and gently pulled two secondary moon crystals out of the dimensional hole and threw them in. Sure enough, the whirlpool of time became bright, and then poked a little head out of it.

It was like a three-inch long little man, or a shrinking teenage girl, with long curly hair, wearing thin, cicada winged clothes, glowing all over, without wings, but could easily stay in the middle of the sky.

She measured outside in the vortex and flew to Brando et al., respectfully saying, "Hello, Lord.” Her voice was fine and her accent was a little strange, as if a foreigner was speaking Krutz at a glance.

The girl said, looking at everyone with curiosity, but was not afraid.

“Her lord is the master of a magical land, similar to your human lord, but different. In the view of magical creatures, only those who possess power are natural lords, who disagree with honorable titles.” Metisa explained to Sy and Roman beside her.

“Oh.” Roman said, "I don't know if I can hear you.

Brando nodded, unlike Sy and others, because he was not familiar with these magical creatures because of his past games, and asked straight away, "What's your name, what are your creatures, what are your abilities? ”

“My name is Monica.” The young girl puts her hands on her chest and introduces herself in a chirping manner: “We are the Spirit of Light, the Son of Light, entrusted with the protection of this sacred land, and our ability is to cultivate this fortress of the world tree. ”

“World Tree Fortress?” Brando frowned and somehow became familiar with the term as if he'd heard it somewhere. But in retrospect, I wonder if the memories of this clip come from past games or from the world's stories of myths and legends.

“The Fortress of the World Tree, or in your words, Lord Valhalla, is fine, but Valhalla is actually the name of the second Fortress of the World Tree, and this is the third and last.” Monica replied.

“What is the second and third World Tree Fortress?” Brando couldn't help but ask.

“Then I do not know, Lord, that our knowledge derives from the inheritance of magical power, as I remember saying, this tree is the original form of the fortress of the Tree of the World, and that is all I know. ”

Brando nodded again, and Monica said it was not surprising that much of the knowledge flowing through the bloodstream was just a word. But he was also just asking by surprise how much growth potential Valhalla had.

“Your ability is to grow this tree. How? ”

“Once the world tree sprouts, it grows slowly, and you can treat us as gardeners pruning leaves for a tree, Lord.” Monica replied.

Brando understands, "So you're the own workers in this town, right? ”

Monica nodded: "Or so we can say, we can help Lord build this city as you wish. ”

“So what can you build now? ”

“I can't do this alone, Lord, nor can the Spirit do anything! I need more people to work with me. If there are one, two, three Light Spirits, I can help Lord build a nest of trees. ”

“The nest of trees?” Brando was confused, he was familiar with the architectural order of the kingdom of Eruin, such as the noble barracks and the blacksmith shop, and he had seen some high-end buildings, but had never heard of a term like this: "What is that? ”

“The nest of trees can cultivate ancient rootstocks, which are the most basic defenses of the world's trees, at about the peak of silver, but they cannot leave the world's trees, Lord, and you can see them as a moving defense, or as guards of this town. ”

“In addition, tree people are actually part of the world tree, so they don't need a magic pool to provide power. The nest can be built on this square, or on the upper level of the crown, without the need to occupy the location of the Magic Pool.” Monica added.

“Part of the world tree?” Brando thinks it sounds like the withered beast of the Golden Demon Tree, but he doesn't need to occupy the biological lair where the Magic Pool is located. He's still very interested, though he can't leave the World Tree, but it can be used as a defense, after all, as a guard for Silver Peak: “How many guards can a tree house make like this? ”

“In the space of the world's trees today, it can accommodate up to one, two, three, four nests, and each nest produces one, two, three… ten rootstocks, Lord.” Monica calculates seriously.

Forty, that's not much. Brando was a little disappointed. If there were a hundred of them, he could totally rely on Valhalla without worries. But think about it, Valhalla is just a big slap nowadays. Just letting go of that city hall would seem a little crowded, and even with hundreds of guards, there's no room for them.

With that in mind, he asked: "Valhalla… I mean, how can this world tree continue to grow? ”

Monica replied: "This is the task of our Spirit. Our task is to cultivate it with magic, but Monica alone, the world tree will probably need one, two, three to grow to the next stage...”

“Wait, stop counting. You can just say how many years.” When Brando heard Monica flipping her fingers over and counting to forty, he finally couldn't help but sweat and he feared the little guy would keep counting until dark.

“How many years do you know?” Monica stared at Brando, seriously considering whether her lord was an idiot, and asked such a retarded question.

Brandoton knelt down and the two bargained there for half a day, finally figuring out that it would take 200 years for her to cultivate this world tree alone.

“Two hundred years!” Hearing this number surprised Sy, as a standard mortal, for 200 years this unit was still a bit of an obstacle —— it was almost a normal person's lifetime.

“So as long as you have 200 people, Monica, you can shorten this time to a year, right?” Brando has his own set of calculations, and after all, 400 sub-moon crystals are not an unacceptable price for him.

“Let me count...”

“Forget it, just tell me if it is or not.” Brando was another big sweat, and in previous discussions he had found that the Spirit was not one of a dozen, but that their officers seemed to prefer a glance and dislike saving steps.

“All right, but if we're going to do it within a year, we can't help Lord Build another building.” Monica thought about it, answered.

But that's not a problem for Brando, and he could totally pay some extra light spirits to help him build his territory. But the idea just came into being, and Monica saw it through, and she immediately broke Brando's fantasy:

“Lord, the number of portals passed is limited for a certain period of time. You're not going to summon thousands of light spirits to help Monica, are you? ”

“Cap?” Brando's daydreams are like a mirror falling to the ground and smashing, and he never thought there'd be another set: “What's the ceiling? ”

“The swirl of light can withstand only one, two, three… twenty energy transitions per month. ”

“Twenty? ”

Monica nodded.

Twenty times a month, it takes up to ten months to summon 200 light spirits alone, so that the world tree will grow to the next stage at least a year and a half fastest. Brandoton feels a little disillusioned. How can he be that long? He thought that Fortress Valhalla would be a major force in his hands in a short time.

But the next word from Monica gave him one last glimmer of hope, and Monica said the portal could be expanded, provided that a Moon Tower was built in Valhallane.

The Moon Tower, which Brando is aware of, is an ancillary building to the Mage Tower, and its function is to train astrologers. In the game astrologers are also an expert wizard whose abilities are prophecy and mastery of guiding magic.

Astronomers can shift the location of the magic convergence point, or direct magic from the Moon Tower into the nest to increase the bioproduction of the nest, or increase the efficiency of the alchemy lab.

This is their role in the game, and what Monica wants to use now is obviously the first role of the Moon Tower, although Brando doesn't know that the attributes in the game are okay here, but since a native like Monica says yes, and Metissa has no objections, it's certainly no problem.

A Moon Tower strengthens three other buildings, although the Moon Tower itself needs the location of a Magic Pool, and its effect equates to dividing the Pool into three parts, not counting as a secluded door building in past games. However, in building the Moon Tower in the primary territory, Brando feels he must be the first to open the sky.

Normal lord players either build the Wizard Tower or the Crystal Pool, not to mention the Moon Tower. Although Brando had never been a lord, he thought it was too strange.

But with the Moon Tower, the output of the Light Vortex can rise to forty. Brando is very keen on Valhalla's growth prospects. After all, he did not seal the title of Amber Sword's most legendary territory. He sees Valhalla as his greatest potential for the future, so as long as this fortress can be revived more quickly, it doesn't matter how much he invests.

So Brando summoned the remaining nineteen light spirits with the remaining secondary moon crystal. I don't know what kind of bad taste it was from the designer. The light spirits do not seem to be male. All summoned up are equal proportions of shrinking soft girls, and like real fairies, the noise is endless. Soon the hall of the world tree will be as lively as the most prosperous market in Eluin.

Brando and others could not help but have a headache when they saw the sky dancing, the noisy light bulbs, and he could imagine how 'lively' this tree city would be if it had thousands or even tens of thousands of such inhabitants in the future. In fact, he wondered whether the rest of the city's inhabitants could sleep.

But at the same time, he also asked Monica about other abilities of the Light Spirit, and learned that it would take about a week for their 20 sisters to build a Moon Tower, which would not be too slow. Building a Moon Tower would require the magical power of a wizard. If Brando relied solely on Charles and his apprentice, a semi-tuned river and lake magician, it would take at least two or three months - which is also the cycle that Charles estimated for the construction of his Wizard Tower.

At the same time, in addition to the nest of trees, the Spirits will build two special buildings belonging to Valhalla, the Walloon Warriors' Lobby and the Windshot Camp.

Neither of these buildings has been heard of by Brando, but according to Monica, both are among Valhalla's most central capabilities - the ability to preserve the spirits, so Brando speculates that they may be buildings that train these two special categories of troops, and Monica says that neither requires a magic pool, so he definitely has to put them on the construction agenda.

After all, that is the fundamental purpose for which he needs Valhalla.

The construction of the Walloon Warriors' Hall will take ten lights for a month, and the Windshot Camp will be a little shorter, but it will also take three weeks, and Brando intends to place the Warriors' Hall on the square, directly opposite the City Hall, while the Windshot will be able to use the second floor of the Valhalla, the nest of trees built on the canopy floor, to exploit just about all the space that Valhalla now has.

And this way he just finished calculating and looked up and saw Flo walking in with a few people from the outside. Behind her were the second son of Sir Mintai, then captain of his close guard, Caglis, and two other tall wooden elf girls with long back bows.

Caglis walked in the World Tree Hall, looking east like a monkey with no nobility. But the two elf girls are no different, and they all look at this hall built on trees with amazement.

For tree elves, they have never seen architectural styles so similar to their hometown outside the Green Tower.

But when Brando saw Cagris with the Tree Elves, the first thing he thought about was whether there had been any progress between Berru and Tama.
