Throne of Vientiane Civilization

With the delivery of rewards and the rapid payment of pensions to casualty soldiers, things in the New Taipei District have basically come to an end.

A month later, Locke, whom he had not seen for a long time, came to Zhou Xu with a staff that exuded faint life energy.

"This really makes me wait."

Amidst the complaints, Zhou Xu looked at the staff in front of him, his face full of excitement.

Needless to say, this is the life staff made by the wood elves!

Speaking of staffs, many people's inertial thinking should be that they are made from the trunks or branches of various trees, and are wooden items.

But the wood elf's life staff refreshed Zhou Xu's understanding of the staff.

This life staff is made from the roots of the life spirit tree. From the appearance, it is more like a kind of braid. The slender roots are equivalent to cotton ropes, one by one. They are constantly intertwined with each other, and finally intertwined into the shape of a staff.

Of course, this does not mean that after digging out the roots, weaving them directly is done.

Before that, it has to be processed in various ways and soaked in a special formula. Then during the weaving process, the mantra that echoes it needs to be chanted throughout to give it blessings before it can be successfully produced.

The soaking step requires a long period of time.

This was also one of the main reasons why he had already arranged to make the Life Staff, but had not come up with the results until now.

The roots of a hundred-year-old life spirit tree are white but slightly yellow after being washed.

But after soaking it in a special formula, blessing it with mantras, and weaving it out, the entire texture will become like a fresh branch.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu eagerly took the life staff in his hand.

The moment he took hold of the Life Staff, he clearly felt a faint life energy emanating from it, nourishing his body.

At the same time, the intertwined roots at the top of the staff seemed to come alive, growing two fresh and green leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Zhou Xu feel incredible.

"Chief Locke, what's going on?"

"The staff of life is different from ordinary staffs. It is rather special. Your Majesty can regard it as a living plant. However, it does not need watering or soil to take root. Instead, it is nourished by the life energy in the owner's body. , thus maintaining vitality.”

Facing Zhou Xu's doubts, Locke quickly explained.

"To put it simply, the more abundant the life energy in the owner's body, the stronger the life force of the life staff."

Speaking of this, Locke couldn't help but look at Zhou Xu strangely.

"But His Majesty doesn't have any life energy in his body, but he can still achieve such an effect. I really didn't expect that."

Regarding Locke's doubts, Zhou Xu also spread his hands, saying that he himself was not particularly clear.

If I have to say it, it may be because of his own adaptability or his really strong compatibility, as if everything can fit with him.

During this period, Locke did not dwell on this unclear issue and quickly continued to explain around the life staff.

"As I just said, the Life Staff is equivalent to a living plant, so its owner can cultivate it with its own life energy."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu was slightly shocked.

"You mean, it can still grow?"

"It's not that it can grow bigger and bigger, but that it can grow stronger and stronger."

Locke, realizing that Zhou Xu had gone astray, quickly added.

"For example, the roots of the life staff in your majesty's hand come from a life tree that is one hundred years old. But if you use life energy to nourish and cultivate it every day, it will be able to rival two hundred years. A three-hundred-year-level life staff.”

Locke's words made Zhou Xu's eyes light up.

[Growth equipment? This is good! 】

However, before Zhou Xu Duole could wait for a while, he heard Locke's conversation change slightly.

"However, after all, the roots used to make the life staff have been cut off from the main body. The cultivation efficiency in the state of the staff is far inferior to that of natural growth."

Speaking of which, Locke made a rough estimate.

"Take this hundred-year-level life staff as an example. If an extraordinary mage cultivates it for five hundred years, it may only be upgraded from a one-hundred-year level to a two-hundred-year level."

After all, the staff in Locke's hand, which is the symbol of the leader of the wood elves, is also the staff of life, and it is the staff of life that has been passed down from the old civilization. Their wood elf clan leaders have been doing things like this for generations. .

This also makes Locke know a lot about this kind of operation.

For this time span…

It can't be said that it pulled instantly.

After all, you must calculate the things of the elves according to their natural lifespan.

The natural lifespan of the elves is 1,600 years. A staff of life can be cultivated for 500 years and improved for 100 years. This seems to be possible for the elves.

Of course, it is impossible for the elves to start cultivating staffs as soon as they are born. From what Locke said just now, it is not difficult to hear that the efficiency of staff cultivation should also be related to the strength of the mage himself.

Think about it, can a transcendent realm mage and a saint realm mage use the same energy to cultivate the staff every day?

As for those ordinary mages, there is no comparison.

If the time is extended to several thousand years, this project of cultivating magic staffs can form an effective strategic reserve within the elves.

But in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is too slow.

From this efficiency, if he wants high-year and high-quality magic staffs, the best way is to continue to raise those life spirit trees.

But the problem is that you can't wait until the enemies appear before cutting the roots and weaving magic staffs, right?

According to the production efficiency of the life staff, by the time you make the staff, the war may be over.

In this way, it is still necessary to make magic staffs in advance.

After understanding the situation, Zhou Xu pondered for a while and finally made a decision.

"Then. Use the hundred-year-old life spirit trees to make a batch of magic staffs and equip all the mages of the Wood Elf Mage Corps first."

Zhou Xu's current idea is to continue to raise the high-year ones and equip them with the low-year ones first.

In fact, although there are many hundred-year-old life spirit trees on Qingshui Mountain, the main material for making the life staff is the tree roots, so the amount of raw materials is not as abundant as they thought at the beginning.

To solve this problem, we still have to work harder on the cultivation of life spirit trees.

This matter was done a few years ago.

In the past, the growth of life spirit trees depended entirely on natural propagation. After artificial intervention, the number of life spirit trees has also increased year by year.

After that, as long as these life spirit trees grow to a hundred years, they will meet the basic requirements for making life staffs.

In the past, Zhou Xu would not have thought about this hundred years.

But now the situation is different.

Don't forget that he is now an extraordinary life. Even if his natural life span is not comparable to that of the elves, it should at least be a few hundred years. He can afford it now!
