Chapter 121: The Location of the Palace
Surrounded by goblins, the team got closer and closer to the World Tree, and the distribution of air roots around it became more and more dense, and every few meters they would encounter one, just a giant tree, but it created an environment similar to the entire forest. Located in the Lost Forest, it is summer, and it should be a very sultry environment, but as long as you walk under the World Tree, you feel cool and comfortable, so that people can't bear to leave under the tree, and the girls understand that it is no wonder that so many people are willing to gather in this meadow, just to cool off at night.
The girls held the hands of the two little undead and walked in the middle of the line, and when they passed by those little goblins along the way, the girls found that the little goblins quickly avoided the location of the two little undead, and also avoided the side of Pannis, but they were very close to Lina, who was full of life, and even a few fell directly on her shoulders, clinging to her neck and cooing, looking very happy. However, when the team walked through a certain position, the girls found that there were suddenly no other air roots in front of them, and the little goblins reluctantly left Lina's side and flew back between the leaves, and all the girls could see was a huge trunk that could barely be seen left and right, as if it was a wooden wall.
The bark of the World Tree is dark brown, and the mottled marks left by time on it look full of ancient atmosphere, and the rough bark is not hard to the touch, but has a vague elasticity, but when you tap it lightly with your fingers, there is a sound like hitting metal, which makes people wonder what the material of this tree is.
When they walked to the trunk of the tree, the royal court officials who followed the team also dispersed after saying hello, and only a few who were more familiar with the demigods present remained. The banquet in the evening was a private banquet for the elven queen Voral, which was a relatively private small banquet, and only some very familiar friends were involved, so the appearance of these welcoming officials was just to conform to the habits of other races and make the welcoming ceremony more solemn. If it weren't for this purpose, they wouldn't even appear at all, and for these elves, who are accustomed to being casual and free, instead of wasting time with the visiting procession, it is better to finish their work as officials quickly, and the time saved can be used to do what they really want to do. Therefore, when the escort arrived at their destination, the men immediately left the group in a hurry, as if they would have to endure great pain if they stayed for one more minute.
"Well, now we're all familiar friends. "After those elves left. Vral clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention on himself: "This is the World Tree, the seat of the royal palace, and my home. Of course, it is certainly not my home alone, the World Tree is divided into dozens of floors, with a total of thousands of rooms inside and outside, and it is said that if the World Tree is expanded to the limit, it is even enough to provide an absolutely safe place for nearly 10,000 elves. Therefore, this place can be regarded as the last bastion of the Elven Court, and even in the most critical moments, it can provide hope for our people to continue. ”
"Something like that. Is it really okay to sue us?" Catherine frowned and asked, "It stands to reason that this kind of thing should belong to your secrets, aren't we afraid of leaking it?"
"This is not our secret, and most of the friends here know it. Frael smiled and shook her head, "And it doesn't matter if it leaks out." For we are not at all afraid of what will be done against our palace. You still don't understand the power of the World Tree, which is almost impossible to destroy, so to speak. Unless the existence of Lord Utdrasil is fundamentally denied, as long as there is any other plant in the world of Yara, the goddess will not fall, and as long as the goddess survives, this world tree will remain immortal. Therefore, only by destroying the plants of the world, or if Lord Yara returns to the world of Yara to personally deny the existence of the goddess, can the World Tree be affected, but it is obviously impossible for Lord Yara to return, and if all the plants are destroyed, other creatures will have no basis for survival. Therefore, we don't need to worry about anything, and we may have to thank you in case you leak it, and you should understand why. ”
"Well, there are reasons to thank us. Catherine smiled bitterly and changed the subject: "This World Tree, like the previous Arin Tree, is the room inside the trunk? If such a tall tree is empty inside, it is really hard to imagine how it can support its own weight." ”
"Eldest sister, you shouldn't ask this question, about the holy relics of the gods, it should not be discussed by mortals. Lina shook her head at Catherine and said, "It's not because the discussion would be blasphemous, but because there are many things that we mortal beings can't understand at all, and even if we get the answer, it doesn't make any sense." ”
"Indeed, even I don't know the answer to this question. Frael nodded, "One thing I'm sure of is that even with a large number of rooms, the World Tree still has enough vitality. In fact, the rooms located inside the World Tree were all created for us by the Goddess herself during the Tertiary Period, and she is well aware of the World Tree's bearing capacity, so the existing situation should have no effect on the World Tree. ”
"The room inside the World Tree?" Catherine looked up at the canopy thoughtfully and said, "Since you say so, it means that the palace is not only inside the World Tree, there must be some outside the trunk, and yes, even if the five-hundred-meter-high trunk is all built into rooms, it may not be able to accommodate 10,000 people permanently, and even if it can be installed, it will look very crowded, so there must be a part of the external building." However, the palace is supposed to be one, and since you can't see the exterior buildings now, it means that they are on it?"
"You can't see the buildings. Friar pointed to the top of his head: "The first canopy is specially designed to be completely obscured by the lower foliage, through which you can see below, but from below there are only foliage." ”
"That's an interesting design. "When I first came here, I studied this ingenious design for a long time, but unfortunately, I finally found that these designs had to rely on plants of the size of the World Tree to realize, that is, it was specially designed for the World Tree, and I have to admire the designers who built and expanded the Elven Palace from generation to generation many years ago.
