Chapter 109: House Tree
"There are several species of trees in the forest that are very special. "I don't know exactly how many there are," Pannis explained, "and I don't know all of them, but I do know that at least the Arin tree, which they call the house tree, is one of them." ”
"So this is the Arin tree, I heard Tifa get up. Lina suddenly realized: "She used to often mention the Yalin tree, and every time she mentioned it, she looked nostalgic, it turns out that you all use this kind of tree as your home." ”
"I don't look nostalgic. After a few seconds, Lina's expression changed abruptly, she clasped her hands to her chest and made a disdainful sneer, raised her eyebrows and said: "Who will miss this kind of hypocritical place, the world is already full of darkness, but a group of hypocritical people prefer to pretend to see all the light, obviously it is just simple killing and conspiracy between races, but they want to show Xiàn's integrity and sincerity, hypocrisy is the essence here, I finally died, I can escape from this hypocritical world, who will miss it again." ”
"Ahem, Lord Tifa. Vral knew who the soul in front of him was, and seemed to know exactly what to do with her, so he didn't argue with her, but just smiled and said, "Your deeds, your grievances, have spread throughout the elven world many generations ago, and everyone knows very well that you have done to the forest and the people, and they are very grateful to you." Of course, none of this makes much sense now, and you're right, this place is indeed hypocritical and false, so in order to better despise here, shouldn't you look here more so that you can find more places to despise. ”
"Hmph, you have a point. Tifa raised his head and thought for a while, and snorted coldly: "I should indeed come here often to see what is fatally lacking in the kingdom that you elves are now composing, hum, of course it has nothing to do with me whether you are dead or alive, but as long as I find a fatal certainty, I can happily imagine that you will perish because of this in the future." Hahahaha, this is really worth looking forward to, huh, it's decided. ”
Tifa's haughty laughter faded away, and Lina clearly regained her original identity. It wasn't until Tifa left that Floral turned to Pannis and shrugged his shoulders and said lightly omstyle_tt, "Actually, she's not that difficult to communicate, is she? Plant partners who have lived together. That's why she misses the house tree so much. ”
"For you, does the house tree represent home and companion?" Catherine said thoughtfully, "So even if you change your place of residence, do you have to take your own house with you?"
"Plants in general have a fixed network of roots, and the roots cling to the soil. Keep the trees steady. "But house trees are different, except for the twelve extraordinarily thick taproots, and the rest of the root network is free to stretch, so that when there is a decrease in nutrients in the soil somewhere," Vral explains. They stretch their roots longer and draw more nutrients, and if there's something harmful in the soil, they shorten certain parts of the root system to avoid the harmful areas. In some cases, they will even pull the taproot directly out of the soil and move it to another location to re-root. That's what we do. After asking them to agree to move, they are instructed to first use their taproot to support their bodies outside the land, and then continue to pull up their taproot in turn and then change the position of reinserting it into the soil, so as to achieve the purpose of transferring. Can you understand such a simple Ming?"
"I guess I understand that their roots resemble the tentacles of an octopus, and they move on the ground with these roots. Catherine pondered, "Isn't it slow, though?" and what if there are obstacles along the way?"
"It's not slow, it's actually very long, in fact their taproot is very long, much longer than their body on the ground, and it's very powerful enough to support their massive body. Therefore, when they use the taproot to support the main body, they can move a distance of hundreds of meters every time they move, and they can move one or two kilometers a day. Think about it, it is only more than a thousand kilometers from the edge of the forest to the royal court, and they do not know tiredness, they can continue to move, it only takes three years at most to complete, and they can also use this time on the road to renovate the houses inside. As for obstacles in the road, that's common, but the roots of plants are stronger than any living thing, and nothing can stop them. Vral patted the inner wall of the tree house and said proudly, "This plant is the best gift from the Mother Goddess, it has accompanied almost all the history of our people, as long as they have it, the elves can ignore the bad weather and environment in the forest." ”0
"Very convenient plant indeed. Catherine also exclaimed, "However, if they pull out the roots, will it lead to a situation where the whole tree will wither and eventually the whole tree will wither?"
"The house trees are our companions, will you hurt your own partners?" asked Vral rhetorically, "just like you, we will not hurt our own partners, so they are absolutely safe along the way." ”
"In that case, if you hide in a house tree, it's like having a moving fortress. Catherine said, "And the power of the root is so great, ordinary demonic beasts can't fight it." ”
"No, their roots are not so flexible, and the demonic beasts will not stand stupidly, no matter how strong they are, it is pointless if they can't hit the enemy. Panis shattered Catherine's imagination: "So basically no one would use a house tree as a weapon." ”
"Well, none of us would do that. Vral said, "Because we have the Ancient Tree of War." ”
The ancient tree of war, which is also a kind of war weapon of the elves that only survives in the biography, according to the war of the gods in the third century, the elves used it many times in the war with the orcs, and the powerful power made the orcs reap many defeats. However, in the last few thousand years, even during the 214-day war, the elves have never used this weapon again, so the ancient tree of war has become an ancient legend, and no outsiders have ever seen it again.
Vral blinked mysteriously and said softly, "There is a war ancient tree, why do we want our partners to take risks?"
"How long are you going to live up there?" a seductive voice came from under the tree, "Do you want me to help you make a rain and water your trees?" (to be continued...... )
