Chapter 787 The Hive City and the Gift of the Star God

The world tree capital is obviously not designed for humans, but it has been transformed by humans into a shape suitable for their lives.

The more Anfa and her knight team walked all the way to the fourth floor of the world tree capital, the more determined Ian was after seeing a lot of scenery along the way.

If Ian's guess is correct, the capital of the world tree is essentially a giant empty ship tens of thousands of meters long - the super giant is more than tens of thousands of meters - its internal space is naturally very spacious for a warship, but for a city It can't be said to be big, especially the cross-section of the urban area, just like the imperial capital, is actually only the size of an ordinary small town.

However, its urban area is very high-each urban area is nearly 3000 meters high.

It can be seen from here that this super giant airship was not designed for humans from the very beginning, but for some kind of creature with extremely slender structure and even flying like vines or fungi ...Of course, it may also be some kind of moss or algae, or even aquatic organisms. The original world tree capital may be filled with a lot of water...

In short, it is not for people to live in.

However, human beings have always been able to use their creativity.

After thousands of years of transformation, the 3000-meter-high vast space is not empty. Under the repair and construction of the elves in the past, there are many hanging platforms and wall buildings hanging on the four walls of the urban area. Interlaced, supporting each other with the huge metal skeletons between cities, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional city.

If you have to use an image metaphor, it is similar to a beehive.

Each of the urban areas inside the World Tree Capital is like a huge beehive, with countless compartments, small buildings, public halls and accommodation apartments densely distributed in three dimensions. Standing on the bottom of the city and looking up, there is no dome at all, only Layer after layer of staggered sky bridges, passing pedestrians and metal urban support skeletons.

And all kinds of lights and wind.

The city is crowded and there are naturally many people. The density of elves in the World Tree Capital even exceeds that of the Imperial Capital... No, that is not at the same level. The population of the Imperial Capital is not large compared to its area, and every resident is fine. Choose carefully, and even need a residence permit to settle in, so there are still quite empty blocks inside the city.

But the World Tree Capital is not only like a hive structure, but the population is also crowded like a hive. Under the various neon signs, the crowds are bustling on the streets, heading for their destinations.

Among them are wealthy businessmen in bright clothes, and craftsmen whose trousers are washed and discolored, but no matter how rich they are, they can’t walk casually in the World Tree Capital, so they can only line up one after another and walk through. One narrow bridge passage after another.

So, the real power holders, what path do they take?
The answer is to fly.

Among the many suspended buildings and supporting frameworks in the urban area, there is a rather spacious area compared to the inner passages of the city. This is the passageway for the elves and nobles to walk on weekdays.

The backpack on the back of Anfa's knight guards is a jet backpack, which can use the wind source to create a stable floating area. Ian and his party are surrounded by knights, flying stably in mid-air, passing through the sea of ​​people urban area.

lively.bustling.

Even Ian from Earth has to admit that the world tree capital of Canaan Moore is prosperous.

In the urban area inside the World Tree Capital, there are all kinds of towering buildings. The structure like a beehive allows the city to occupy a height of 3000 meters layer by layer, making the area of ​​a small city superimpose hundreds of layers. , so that each urban area accommodates millions of people.

And with such a large population, the garbage produced, the materials and energy needed, the internal and external ventilation channels, and even the maintenance of law and order are all in order.

Ian saw that there was a huge pyramid-shaped insect nest in the corner of the city, and a large number of disc-shaped beetles swarmed out of it, shuttled under people's feet, cleaned up every garbage and stain, and their sturdy shells could tolerate Stamped by all the crowd, some children even like to stand on them, laughing and letting these cleaning bugs lead them to move.

The huge flow of energy originating from the Dyson cloud and the artificial sun brings up the wind, which originates from the natural movement of the wind source, and this movement is used by the Canaanite Moors to form an extremely complex system that runs through all urban areas. Wind channel.

These air passages are exactly the air passages that Ian and others walk. In addition to being a convenient flight path, it will also ensure that the air inside the world tree capital is fresh and the safe interaction with the outside world.

Similarly, the huge energy flow also makes the interior of the entire world tree capital brightly lit-here, there is a planting area that is close to the Xiahuiling Agricultural Building. The bright sun lamps release the source quality, and densely planted crop.

No wonder, when many people expressed their novelty, the elves of Canaan Moore only expressed their appreciation and interest in the technology of the agricultural building. It turned out that they had seen similar designs before, but they didn't have the need for special design. A building to plant...

When Ian saw the planting area, he felt a little dazed.Of course, the world tree capital is not short of resources, and the huge Gaia garden centered on it is incredibly rich in materials, which is probably second only to the Quinol Plain with weather controllers around the imperial capital.

Therefore, the elves have no desire to develop dense planting, but only accommodate a part of the planting area with the unique environment of the world tree capital.

If the elves had a need, it was simply not his turn to sell agricultural buildings to the mountain people and many lords in Nanling Province.But they don't.

In addition, the sheriffs and patrol knights wearing flying backpacks shuttled in mid-air. They inspected every corner of the world tree capital three-dimensionally. Draw a dexterous arc in the middle, directly arrive at the corresponding compartment, and deal with all disputes immediately.

But this kind of situation is actually very rare, not because the elves have good moral character, but everyone knows that this place is the capital of the World Tree and the headquarters of the Ten Kings Blood. They can promise people a happy life here, but absolutely No one (other than themselves) is allowed to create riots here.

Whoever dares to violate will die.Whoever is willing to abide by it will be able to live happily.

"Aren't there many small vendors here?"

Ian turned his head to the side. They had just passed an empty area that was probably a food street. There were more than a dozen Canaan Moore restaurants with their own flavors. There were all kinds of pastries, barbecues and huge insect meat feasts, which made the boy quite emotional: " If I have time in the future, I will definitely come here to visit.”

"It is said to be a small vendor, but the merchants who can open a store in the world tree capital definitely have a background behind them. Either they are relatives of the leaders of large companies, or they are chain brands opened by the head office."

Anfa knew what Ian meant very well, and she shook her head slightly: "With such a dense population, the World Tree Capital can still maintain good law and order. There are no gangsters or thieves collecting protection fees and stealing, just because of the simplest The reason—everyone here is closely related to the blood of the ten kings, even the seemingly inconspicuous fruit merchants may have channels to contact the head office."

"Everyone is an employee of the company group. Once they make a mistake, they will leave a record and be driven out of World Tree Capital...to leave this bustling city full of countless opportunities. Who would want that?"

"After all, it is a city with crystal terminals."

Ian nodded slightly, he could understand.The information technology of elves is very strong. They can really lock every elf in real time. This is Anwen's greatest confidence... Absolute information control.

On Earth, even the federal government has to use the information of civilians with the supervision and assistance of the dominant AI. Personal privacy is guaranteed, and some dangerous elements can use various means to hide their malice.But in Canaan Moore, although the level of information technology is not as good as that of Earth, the Ten Kings Blood can retrieve anyone's information at will, and absolutely control a person's past.

The strength of domination is not a level at all.

No wonder every Canaanite Moor would say that sentence without hesitation——Welcome to the world tree capital, one of the most welcoming and prosperous cities in Terra.

It is indeed worthy of this title, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

The mansion of the Jin Deng family is located in the lower middle of the fourth floor of World Tree Capital.

In a beehive city where every inch of land and gold seems a bit cheap, Shi Wangxue built an extremely large three-dimensional mansion in an extremely luxurious way. From a distance, it looks like a huge white hexagonal prism, with a luminous inscription board on the surface. The projection of the family emblem of the Ember Lantern family was created to play back and forth in a loop. In addition, there was also the projection of the head of the Ember Lantern family, Ms. Sialetta, the mother of Anfa.

She is projected to smile softly, overlooking the entire Hive city, majestic like a queen.

No... Actually, as the Patriarch of the Ten Kings' Blood and the powerhouse at the peak of the fourth energy level, she is undoubtedly the queen.It's just that the social system in Canaan Moore made her appear more approachable, and she was called the standing committee member of Canaan Moore.

On both sides of the road leading to the Jindengbu mansion, a row of sunset trees are planted. The leaves of this kind of sublimation plant will emit a dim light like the setting sun. It only takes one piece to maintain the brightness all night. People will feel peace of mind and tranquility, it is easy to repair the fatigue caused by a day's work, and it is easier to fall asleep.

Its trunk is as strong and shiny as crystal, and it is very beautiful, so it is also an extremely high-quality ornamental tree.

"This is my home."

Anfa led Ian and others into the mansion. The welcoming hall inside was spacious and bright, even a little too big, enough to accommodate armored operations.Ian felt that something was wrong. He scanned the surroundings with his vision vision, and found that the shoe cabinet in most people's homes is actually a storage room, and there is a whole row of armor standing in good condition inside.

——Is this a mansion?Isn't this a combat base?Also in the welcome hall, will your home use armor to pay tribute to distinguished guests?

Ian wanted to complain a little, but held back.Because he himself is also like this, next to the lord's mansion led by Xiahui is the camp of the magnetic storm armor troop, and there is even a Cyclops fort on the top floor, which is not much better.

It can only be said that this is the lord on the land of Terra.jpg
"It doesn't feel very big. It feels... not as good as my lair!"

This is Xiou's comment, and neither Anfa nor Ian have responded—you and the real dragon compare the lair?A real dragon can declare that the entire mountain range is his lair as soon as he sits in the mountain, and he can say that he is walking on his balcony after flying [-] miles away. Is there any need for it?

Especially when Xiou moved out to live alone recently, it was the time when he was most excited and liked his secret base, so there was no need to talk too much.

And at this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the mansion.

It was a bright girl with emerald green hair coiled up behind her head, a pair of light golden eyes shining like the sun, shining with a breathtaking light, the purple-black off-the-shoulder dress set off the slender neck and round shoulders even more She is fair, and she wears a silver ember lamp pendant on her neck, and the decoration on it is more luxurious than the one on Anfa's neck.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, Master Gravey looked solemnly, and even Xiou looked slightly sideways, looking a little surprised.

And who is she?
Of course it is another security method!

Even Ian took half a second to realize, who is this girl who looks more temperamental, stronger, but looks exactly like Anfa——of course it is another prosthetic body of Anfa , but the strength of this prosthetic body is impressively at the peak of the second energy level, close to the strength of the third energy level, which has a clear gap with Anfa, who is at the first energy level beside him.

Under the influence of the essence of life, even with the same appearance, the high-energy level will appear more radiant and moving than the low-energy level.

At the same time, Ian keenly noticed that the more powerful Anfa prosthetic body has more characteristics of dragon blood. The first energy level Anfa only has some scales on the neck and behind the ears, while the second energy level peak Anfa Not only these, her pupils are also vertical pupils, slightly protruding dragon horns can be vaguely seen between the coiled long hair, and the slender fingers are sharper than normal girls, a bit close to that of the nun of the light reflection Longya people.

After Anfa in the dress appeared, Anfa in the long skirt who was standing next to Ian and the others froze. To the side of the white-haired boy: "Ian, come, let me take you to see that strange object."

"...This feeling is quite subtle. Dragon Soul, it's amazing."

Ian glanced at the direction Anfa left in the long dress with a strange expression, and then glanced at his side. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong in the slightest, and Anfa smoothly took over the dress Anfa in the leading position—even subtly with a bull's head human feeling?The dress is Anfa, and the Tauren has a long skirt, Anfa... No, what are these things?

It’s not that Ian is hypocritical. Although Xiou also has a prosthetic body, most of her prosthetic body is gone, only the girl’s prosthetic body made with her own appearance is left, and there is no such thing as Ian who has multiple friends at the same time. bodily sensations.

Each is safe, and each is not completely safe.Under the power of these true dragonbloods, the boundaries between self, body and soul are so blurred that human morality and common sense cannot define their logic and actions at all.

This is... an extraordinary creature.

Under the guidance of Anfa, Ian quickly walked across the corridors and rooms of the Jindeng family mansion, and came to a hidden warehouse in the depths.

Anfa carried the skirt by himself, trotted into the warehouse, and then brought out a box sealed by pure crystals, surrounded by bright inscription patterns and seals. In fact, it was not held by Anfa at all, but floating In the palm of a girl.

"That's it, Ian, this is a key strange thing we found from the Alien Research Institute..."

Anfa originally wanted to introduce a few more words, such as why she was able to get it before the exploration started, and where exactly she found it.

But the elf girl soon realized that Ian's expression froze.

The silver-blue light swirls in the boy's eyes. This is the phenomenon that the psychic releases the psychic energy to the limit. Although Anfa knows that he has not opened the box yet, to Ian, all of this is not important at all. Before he opened the box, he had already seen the strange thing in the box, and saw the extraordinary essence.

—Is this the Prophet?The multiple seals that can cut off the prying eyes of the fourth energy level and even the fifth energy level can't cut off their gaze...

Anfa thought so.No wonder everyone said that the power of the prophet is the real miracle...

For Ian, everything is very simple.

The golden brilliance swirled around the small box, just like the canopy of the world tree capital, lingering around the star's Dyson cloud.

"... Source quality, computing chip... Gift of the Star God... Forerunner..."

Ian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said the key word in his heart: "There is still a fifth energy level...Huaiguang is on top."

Although it can't be seen from the outside, the white-haired boy's heart has already set off a turmoil: "Could it be that this is an imitation made by the pioneers who imitated the silver chip? And the essence of the silver chip... is the so-called..."

"Gift of the Star God?"
