Chapter 22 The Tree of Life and the Moon Well
Standing outside the manor, looking at a wilderness that is beyond your reach, this is the land you will reclaim in the future.
While the development and construction of the manor is still in progress, no outsiders will come to observe the opportunity here except for farmers and construction workers. Donald is preparing to use his magical abilities to transform the here.
After opening the Book of Truth and browsing most of the four major races and neutral construction units, Donald set his sights on the Elf's buildings.
If there is any kind of building that has both powerful functions and can promote the development of natural ecology, then there is only the elf tree building unit that is harmoniously integrated with nature. As an environmentalist in the past life, a noble manor in this life, considering the advantages and disadvantages of the four ethnic buildings, the undead must not be chosen. Once the unit with the aura of the undead appears in front of everyone, Donald estimates that he will soon be eliminated by the joint efforts of the Temple of Agriculture and the major forces of the Kingdom.
"The human architecture has been established, and other farms are useless for the time being. The beast tribe's crypt is good, the entrance is hidden, and the defense is strong. It can be used as a trench stronghold or as a temporary barracks. However, he does not even have an army at present, so it is useless to build it. The other architectural styles of the beast tribe are too primitive and barbaric, and are not suitable for appearing in human territory."
In the end, Donald still thought that the Night Elf architecture was the most suitable.
"In addition to the Moon Well, Altar and Hunter Hall, all the construction units of the Elf clan have life existences. They can usually be hidden near the manor as disguise as trees. If they encounter foreign enemies, they can also become defensive forces in an instant. The tree man itself is a plant life, and it is normal to turn into a tree."
"But in this way, most of the construction units of the Elf Clan cannot be summoned just by relying on energy crystals and other materials like those of the other three clans."
According to the setting of the Book of Truth, as a semi-living and semi-building unit, the construction of the night elves not only requires energy, but also has certain soul power support.
Of course, this kind of soul power does not require as much soul power as permanently summoning intelligent creatures. The soul power required by ordinary tree people does not need to be too strong. It only requires about the soul level of the second-level troops.
Plants are different from animal creatures. They do not need much wisdom to survive, which means that the soul of plants is simple and small. Even the tree people of the Night Elf tribe have no ability to think than an infantryman or even a peasant unit of the human race.
Therefore, the Book of Truth gives unique summoning conditions for the elves' tree building.
Although this costs more soul power than summoning the other three tribes of buildings, it gains advantages that dead objects do not have.
For example, the elf ancient tree building is not only conscious, but also able to follow the owner's orders, has the advantage of being able to move freely, and has the advantage of actively attacking invaders. These major advantages are enough to make Donald willing to give more soul power.
The initial tree of life is a unit rated as level 5 by the Book of Truth. It is an existence at the same level as the initial heroes, but the soul power required to create it can be successfully summoned in just 200 units, which is simply disproportionate.
During this period, Donald took the time to run to the cemeteries of several towns in North County, and collected some soul power. Adding the remaining ones just before, it was possible to create a new level 2 army.
"For the sake of the elves ancient tree building, I can only give up my original plan for the time being."
Donald said with a pity. Since he created Clinton's three subordinates, Donald felt more and more how useful it is to have such absolutely loyal subordinates.
The energy required for creating the main base building of the elves is equivalent to the elemental crystals required for summoning the human race and the beast hall. They are all 150-array elemental crystals or 15-array medium-array medium crystals.
If Donald hadn't been able to get all the materials in the town for a while, and it would have been too shocking to see a town hall suddenly pop up, and he would not have his own territory. Otherwise, Donald would have summoned those large construction units long ago, and there wouldn't be a need to build villas like this, which would have saved a lot of time for the development of the manor.
"Same as the infantry long swords and other items summoned before and buildings such as farms, you can also choose to pay the raw materials required by the building to replace part of the energy consumption. In this way, you can save more than 80% of the crystal energy, and soul power is a necessary consumable. It seems that the road to becoming a strong man is a long way to go!"
"However, the living buildings of the elves are different from other races. The materials you choose to replace are not wood, stone and other materials, but living trees. It is best to be long-lived trees such as oaks, pine trees, and firs. The taller and older the better, the better, so the more energy you replace and the less consumption."
In this green cape forest, Donald didn't know whether there was anything else missing, but there was definitely no shortage of old trees.
It is said that there are even lots of ancient trees with aged over ten thousand years deep in the forest. Even if you are outside the forest, it is not difficult to find an ancient tree of thousands or tens of thousands of years old.
As soon as he thought of it, Donald rarely spent a second-level crystal core to summon a mount that is most suitable for flying in the forest, the second-level armed horned eagle beast of the elves.
Donald, who weighs about the same size as the Elf Warrior, transformed into a Knight of the Horned Eagle and rode the Horned Eagle and flew towards the outside of the forest in the north of the manor.
The Green Cloak Forest has existed much longer than the Kingdom of Celtic and the oldest countries on the mainland, and can even be traced back to the ancient world.
It is vast and narrow in shape, like a cloak, located at the foot of the Izumo Mountains, surrounding the three borders outside the border between the North County and the central and southern territory of the Kingdom. If the area of this forest and surrounding mountains are included, the North County is undoubtedly the largest county territory in the Kingdom of Selt.
Because he was not here to hunt monsters, he still had enough funds, so in order to save time, Donald only patrolled the area bordering the depths of the nearby forest.
Here alone is already towering ancient trees and densely shady. The century-old ancient trees are just children in this forest. Although they have not been specifically measured, the several ancient trees that Donald has been interested in are probably over ten thousand years old.
"It's you!"
After walking around, Donald finally chose the thickest and tallest nearby one, but the species was the oak species in this world.
Oak trees are a sacred tree species in the world. They are said to be trees reborn on the dead branches and leaves of the Creator of the High Elves. The ancient race, natural druids, who have been extinct on the continent, take oaks as the incarnation of nature, and their fathers generally worship them.
Standing in front of this big oak tree, Donald stroked the rough trunk with one hand. The mage's keen mental power felt the vitality in it. He took out a crystal core of a level five monster and chose to summon the life tree of the night elves base.
"Book of Truth, let's start!"
I saw a fresh light green light flowing in a golden light, wrapping the entire oak tree in it. After a few breaths, the big tree that appeared again had completely changed.
The branches that are several times thick and tall are like lazy stretching after a nap, and the dense green branches and leaves slowly swing with the branches.
Perhaps because the trees selected by Donald are very good in terms of their growth status and age, and they have their own spiritual connections, Donald summoned this tree of life, in addition to using more than thirty squares of elementary elemental crystals to transform the body, unexpectedly only consumed thirty units of soul power.
At this time, the tree of life was covered with a layer of faint natural force visible to the naked eye, and the branches slowly swung like living things, as if greeting Donald, the owner who created it.
And this tree of life is truly communicating with Donald through the spiritual thoughts connected to Donald.
The ordinary state of the tree of life is just a big tree with life and wisdom, and it cannot speak itself, but with its intelligence equivalent to a seven-year-old child, it is still possible to communicate with intelligent life through mental power.
Donald gave instructions to the Tree of Life in his mind, and saw that the branches of the whole tree stretched out at that time, and the thriving roots drilled out of the earth. The original giant tree rooted in the forest has now completely turned into a human-shaped upright tree.
In this short moment, the ancient oak tree successfully evolved into the oldest and peaceful tree man in the legendary natural race, and its physiological traits have changed. From the outside, even the most knowledgeable botanical scholars may not necessarily see that its original body is an oak tree.
"Master..., follow your instructions..."
The head of the tree man is an old wooden face under the canopy. The speech he speaks slowly and dryly, but it looks a little imaginative than imagined.
"My child, follow my steps and go there and take root!"
Feeling that the newborn Tree of Life seemed like a child, Donald pointed out the coordinates in his mind. The junction between the big manor and the small manor was a narrow bush of weeds, which was the place where he chose to take root for the Tree of Life.
The tree man nodded slowly and began to take steps in that direction.
Due to its size, the tree man incarnated by the tree of life, although he walks a large step and can cross a distance of nearly ten meters in one step, but due to his slow movement, he can only travel about fifteen kilometers per hour.
Fortunately, it is almost evening, and there should be no adventurers and hunters staying in the forest overnight at night. The forests on the two manors are different from Red Maple Town, and are closer to the dangerous forest and the Izumo Mountains with many monsters, so there are usually few people to visit, and the noise caused by the tree people is not very loud. In one night, the tree of life is enough to rush from the forest to take root here in the manor.
After doing this, Donald recycled the horned eagle into energy and sent it back to the farm house to rest with peace of mind.
