Sword of Daybreaker

The entire Cecil Empire has been shrouded in winter. Cold winds have swept across the plains in the middle and the wilderness in the south from the mountains in the north, from Fort Winter to Cecil, from Shilin City to the Long Wind Fortress. Breath is ubiquitous, and at least half of the empire has ushered in at least one snowfall.

But in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, where the giant trees stand, the spring spirit and vitality are still flourishing.

The huge Solin tree stands tall on the ground, and the canopy that covers the entire town has spread across the central axis of Solinburg and the canyons to the west.

After growing up recently, this amazing plant has reached its maximum scale at this moment. Her roots and canopy are no longer spreading wildly, but her branches and leaves are still maturing and her roots are still deeper into the earth. Go for it.

Within the coverage area of ​​the giant tree, the once-abandoned Solingborg has been repaired and rebuilt, and some functions of the castle and town have been restored. Now it has become the base of the local garrison and research team. Part of the roots of the giant tree grew out of the cracks in the collapsed walls of Solingborg, helping people to fix those crumbling stone wall barriers, and several research facilities were built on the ancient walls and those winding roots. stand up

In this wonderful place, the researchers of the Cecil Empire and a huge plant seem to have reached a wonderful symbiotic relationship. The Solin giant tree not only provides valuable research samples for the Druid Institute here, but also cooperates with the local Production and construction.

On the trunk level, in the southeast sector, a large transport vehicle parked in the open space next to the trunk. A group of magic technicians and workers were busy beside the car, opened the baffles on both sides of the carriage, and unlocked the fixed cargo pallets. With ropes and hooks, a commander stood on an aerial root rising from the ground, directing the work.

Around the unloading area, there is a large open space that has been initially leveled, compacted, and arranged.

Some temporary houses are located near and far, and the magic stone street lights are neatly arranged along the simple road, dissipating the darkness of the canopy coverage area, and the existence of things such as street signs and building material stacks indicates that there are a lot of subsequent construction plans here, everything Going methodically.

The production and construction corps responsible for this area divided the area covered by the Solin giant tree. In vertical space, the Margarita Knight divided the Solin giant tree into a root layer (where the underground palace is located), a trunk layer, a canopy layer, and a tree top. On the plane, she divided the circular land covered by the giant tree crown into four fan-shaped areas.

At present, the staff and the garrison here are basically operating in the sector of the surface, and the exploration work is maintained at the root level. A small part of the Druid Institute team is paying attention to the trunk layer and the canopy layer. They are on the trunk of the giant tree. There are two small observation and sampling stations, and a "Druid hut" in the canopy. However, research in these areas is still in its infancy, and the top of the Sorin giant tree , The local research team has not yet explored.

If you want to send something to the top of the tree, you still need the cooperation of the "self" of the giant tree.

The workers opened the side panel of the vehicle and untied the rope holding the tarpaulin. After the tarpaulin was uncovered, a large magic device was exposed inside.

An alloy base with a width of several meters, a complex structure of locking, support, and suspension devices, and a diamond-shaped metal frame with a height of several meters. The surface of the frame is inlaid with a large number of light-emitting Holm crystals.

This is a huge magic obelisk. Its crystal structure is too large, so it is composed of a large number of small crystals.

"Everyone be careful! This thing is expensive!" The commander reminded aloud on the roots of the bulging ground, "Be careful when you loosen the hook, don't let the bad guy get your fingers caught!" Now! Alchemy potions are not poured from the Gorgon River! "

The workers responded to the commander's instructions, and the magic technician climbed into the car after the side panel was lowered, checking the status of those important rune substrates, and checking whether the crystal was complete.

The commander turned his head and shouted in the direction of the giant tree of Sorin: "Ms. Bertila, are you there?"

As soon as the commander's voice fell, a rustling sound came from the surrounding area, and then vines and brown roots entwined with flowers were drilled from the nearby ground. These vines and roots were twisted and fused into Bertila's Looks like: "I've been there."

"Ma'am, good night," the commander greeted the incredible "tree spirit" with a smile, even though he heard that the other party was once the dean of the All-Around Death Association, and even the entire Thorin giant tree was everything. The result of the power of all the survivors of the final death co-mutation, but he has been working here for a while, and has dealt with this "tree spirit" a lot. At this moment, he has been able to communicate with each other calmly. "The weather is good today. "

Some things have passed, this land is still alive, and this is why the most important young commander thinks so.

"Yes, the weather is good," Beltila said slowly, and she lifted her head slightly, and there was a rustling rustle in the canopy of the Sorin tree. The sun did not shine on her face, but on her canopy. This narrowed her eyes, "Today's sunshine is perfect for ... photosynthesis."

"The magic obelisk I told you before," the commander raised his finger to the cart not far away. "It has been transported from the Pompeii factory to the south."

"Oh, it's really bigger than usual ..." Beltila didn't turn his head, but "see" the car, "Do I need to send it up?"

"Yes," the commander said. "Just send it directly, and then assemble it according to the drawings you gave earlier. The equipment has been commissioned and can be activated remotely."

Bertila nodded, and a burst of rattle came from the crown of Thorin's giant tree.

The magical technicians and workers near the cart have already stepped back. People stand in a distance and watch a few extra thick vines grow from the bottom of the canopy layer hundreds of meters high. The branches and leaves fell all the way to the huge set of magic obelisks, carefully rolled up those parts, and lifted upwards.

The special large magic obelisk in the vine "hands" seemed to have no weight, and it was easily pulled towards the canopy, and the densely layered leaves clawed back to the sides, exposing a "road" directly to the top of the tree. .

Beside the commander, Beltila slowly raised his hand and made an action of putting something on top of his head, and then put his hand down.

She looked around and found that no one noticed her move.

The commander had been looking up at the scene where the vines had sent the magic obelisk to the canopy, and he did not look back until the huge magical devices disappeared in the dense leaves. He looked at Bertila beside him. , With a smile on his face: "It is the largest magic obelisk in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, with the latest signal amplification broadcast array. Now it is also equipped with the highest 'support tower' in the plain area, and it will definitely play The best performance. From now on, here is the magic net hub of the Eastern Holy Spirit Plain. Half of the plain's magic net nodes will be connected. We are one step closer to connecting the national magic net into one. Thank you very much for your help."

Beltila looked at the smiling young commander. Although she is an expert in biochemical technology, she only knows a lot about magic technology. At this moment, she is inevitably curious: "This is a very useful thing, isn't it?"

"Of course," the young commander immediately said. "The magic net not only provides energy for the magic guide device, it can also be used to transmit signals and maintain regional shields. Large and small magic nets are now being established throughout the empire. However, the magic nets in various regions have not yet been fully connected, and the connection in many places can only be carried out by a series of single-line relay stations. Connected, like the nodes of the Holy Spirit Plain in the Southern Border, are the key link to the magic nets around the empire ... "

Beltila quietly listened to the scene described by the young commander. On the young man's face, she saw pride and joy from her heart.

Not far away, the magician technicians were waiting beside the magic net terminal and the small magic crystals, monitoring the magic obelisk being sent to the tree crown. On those magical technicians, she saw the whole body Dedication and enthusiasm.

And in places where she can't see, she can imagine that there are also countless proud, joyful, dedicated, and enthusiastic people in those places.

They are changing the world, although many of them may not realize this, and the feat of changing the world is accumulated by countless ordinary people little by little.

No miraculous forbidden arts, no transcendental power, no artificial gods to rule the world.

This is another path that she and her compatriots never imagined.

Bertila carefully controlled her vines and canopy, just like holding a fragile treasure, and sent the large and complicated device to the highest point of the Sorin giant tree. She sent those parts according to the drawings she had seen Put them together, and then carefully put them on your head.

Inside the canopy are thousands of magic net rune substrates that have been sent up one after another a few days ago. They are pulled together by countless small vines. At this moment, the connection with the magic obelisk is the entire project. The last ring.

"Put it on," she said.

Not far away, the magician technicians received the activation signal of the magic obelisk base, and they quickly issued a remote command. Above the magic net terminal for monitoring, the faint lines appearing in the holographic projection were turned one by one On, each node is quickly activated.

Beltila watched all this curiously. She saw the text appearing in those projections. She saw the greetings from afar transmitted by miraculous hands to her eyes as if miraculously.

"Say hello to the Stonehenge reconstruction camp at the Sorin Junction."

"Receive the signal from the Sorin hub to red maple reconstruction camp to say hello."

"... Say hello to Pompeii ..."

"Here is the Cecil hub. Congratulations, Rebecca Cecil, greeting you."

People cheered.

Even the young commander of that officer's origin, wearing a knight badge, cheered.

Bertila blinked, and on this bright sunny day suitable for photosynthesis, she felt that her heart, which had been fused with plants, beat again.

"Congratulations." She tried to make herself laugh like a human, and said to the young commander beside her.

The young commander once again expressed his gratitude and ran to the workers and technicians and soldiers in the distance to celebrate with everyone.

Bertila stood silently for a while, then looked southward with a feeling.

There are guests coming.

...

A magic guided vehicle flying the flag of the United Reconstruction Corps arrived in the Sorin area. The car seemed to bring a big man, Beltila, who could see everything that happened around the Sorin tree. She saw many people from Sorin. He ran out of the stronghold to greet the car, and saw an old man coming out of the car, and seeing that there were several followers and guards around the old man, it might just be a subordinate.

Finally, she saw the old man approaching her trunk.

Norris looked up at the canopy covering the sun, looking at the countless branches illuminated in the magic crystal lights and the support pillars hanging from the canopy, and the flower vines coiled around the trunk and the support pillars. Could not help but whispered, "This is the giant tree of Sorin ..."

"It's a miracle ..." A young agricultural technology official also looked up and sighed, "I've never seen any plant grow so big ..."

"And she has kept the whole area alive, and even kept the temperature relatively comfortable here," Norris said. "Remember the road? Until the intersection, there was still snow on the ground."

"I just transferred some of the heat from the deep layers to the surface," accompanied by a slightly hoarse female voice, Beltila's figure emerged from a group of flower vines and root whiskers. The ground near the trunk moved to Norris. "Hello, I am the plant in front of you. You can also call me Beltila."

"Hello, Ms. Bertila," Norris looked at the woman in front of him, and put away a moment of surprise, "I am Norris."

"I seem to have heard the name ..." Beltila frowned, his expression reminiscent.

"He's the Minister of Agriculture of the Empire," someone reminded.

"Ah, yes, that's what I remember," Beltila said with a stunned look. "And I did hear the name ... in newspapers and radio."
