Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2112 The great life goes south
The efficiency of the intellectual brain is very high. When Xia Duo and Niya turned back to the wrong branch before, it completed the construction of the human flesh navigation with Xia Duo as the carrier.

"Go this way!"

Xia Duo pointed in a direction according to the navigation instructions. When Niya was still a little hesitant, he had already taken Niya's hand and started to lead the way.

Different from the gorgeous and magnificent style of Cormanthor Arivandar, Taivimansa architecture is full of conservative features. Perhaps the tree is indeed not an ideal building site.

Most of the buildings that Xia Duo and Niya saw along the way were built on the branches of the oak trees where the city is located. Most of them are natural buildings that use magic to reshape the tree structure, and only a few are built with stone or other materials. of.

Naturally, a stone building that can appear on a tree hundreds of meters high is not something that ordinary elves can live in or even own.

Almost without exception, those non-wooden buildings are either public buildings that serve most elves at once, such as temples, colleges, or plazas, or are privately owned by the Highborne.

If judged purely by the convenience and comfort of civilian life, the situation in Tavimansa is far worse than that of Cormanthor, and even some Nether territories may be worse.

Therefore, the Tavimansa that Xia Duo saw was actually a strange city with few civilians and even a bit too quiet and peaceful.

"Since there are so many inconveniences on the tree, why don't the Yeerlan elves choose a capital again on the ground? It's not like they don't have ground cities!"

Niya finally asked the question she was holding back in her heart. Regarding this question, Xia Duo actually didn't understand it very well. She could only analyze it from the origin of Ye Erlan:

"The original Yeerlan was just a settlement established by a down-and-out high-ranking family separated from Sharwen. Later, out of the need to fight against Sluvand, it received further support and was able to establish an independent country.

"Building the city on the tree was originally for defensive considerations! Later, it may gradually evolve into a spiritual symbol. Even if there is a ground territory, the city on the tree has not been abandoned."

From this point of view, Xia Duo also thought of Severton. If the floating city prevails in the future, Severton on the ground may not gradually decline or even be deserted as he first thought.

Maybe it can have a second spring!
Or directly lift Sevington from the ground to upgrade it to a floating city instead of building a new one.

Of course, such thoughts flashed through Xia Duo’s mind. In the future, he is confident that Great Xia Territory will be the most desirable territory in Netheril, and his floating city will also become the most desirable territory in Netheril. One of the most important cities in Seoul.

……

"What kind of big tree can support a city built on it?" Niya asked again.

"I happen to know that!"

Of course the Tavimansa was not built on a tree, and if that was the case, how big would the tree be!The Tavimansa was built on a group of trees, and these trees, Xia Duo did know something about their origin.

This at least goes back to the prosperous period of the rise of Arivandar, that is, almost 1 years ago, the core territory of the high mages of Arivandar at that time—that is, the large area centered on Yeerlan in the current era. On the land, a series of magical plants were planted.

Among them, the group of tall oak trees where Taivimansa is located is one of them. The reason why Xia Duo knows this is because the Shirin he incarnated in [Projection Plane Evereska Independence], the body is such a tree. big tree.

Of course, the Schilling at that time was still slightly smaller than the trees where Ye Erlan was, but even so, the Schilling variety was named "grandfather oak" by the Salvin elves.

To highlight its difference from ordinary oak trees, one is for grandparents and the other is for grandchildren.

It's just that Xia Duo had visited Taivimansa and had a close contact with these giant trees, but he didn't find any signs of awakening consciousness in these giant trees.

I don't know if it was killed a long time ago, or it was deliberately hidden.

If it is the former, there is no need to think about it for the time being, but if it is the latter, this group of giant trees may be Ye'erlan's strongest trump card.

There are nearly a hundred trees in total, which means that there are nearly a hundred high-level mages with stronger stamina than the elves. If they have the support of the incarnation of the saint, not to mention sweeping the Northland, they can at least overwhelm all other countries in the Northland Alliance.

In addition, there should be a group of grandfather oak trees in the territory of Sharwen, maybe there is Schilling who was incarnated by Xia Duo in the projection plane!

Thinking of the depths, Xia Duo was both happy and worried. He was happy because the elves had such a profound background. If there were any natural disasters that would destroy the world in the future, they would be the most powerful backing.

The worry is that this horse is an elf after all, but he is a human being.

……

In the process of telling Niya about the origin of his grandfather's oak tree, Xia Duo was also constantly testing these great beings even if they were not awakened. What is the result.

This kind of uncertainty made him feel even more uneasy, so he simply told him that nearly a hundred of the grandfather oak trees had already awakened consciousness, and he might not be too anxious. Some preparations.

But now, when he is not sure whether there are nearly a hundred high-ranking treant mages, it is really too much to ask him to prepare for these, and it can be called searching for enemies in the void.

Moreover, he understood the existence of tree people very well. As long as their survival was not threatened, they would not care about it even if the outside world collapsed.

Even if they signed a contract with the elves like Schilling in the projected plane, they would not help the elves to take the initiative to fight against the enemy, and it was more of a last resort.

Like Schilling, who uses the ontology as Sharvin's fan lock node, and usually does not care about anything but sleeps.

From this point of view, Ye Erlan has never given up on the city on the tree, and it may not be without consideration in this regard. If some or all of these grandfather oaks have awakened consciousness, then the capital must not be moved. This is simply the best shelter.

If a tree doesn't have an awakened consciousness and makes a gesture of not moving the capital even if it dies, it can also confuse the enemy and make the enemy make a misjudgment, so that they dare not let go and attack.

Like now, Xia Duo, who once turned into a treant, can't judge whether these grandfather oaks have awakened consciousness, let alone other people (elves).

If you want to know further confirmation, maybe you can start the investigation from Sharvin, but now the elves (except Comanthor) have not shown too much aggressiveness, and these can be a little later.

Xia Duo felt that when this trip plan was completed, if there were no other important matters involved, maybe he could take a trip to Salvin.
