my age of magic

Chapter 448 244. World Branches
The fractured mountain range floating in the void is split into nine sections, but they are connected together by the giant roots of the World Tree above the main peak of the mountain range.The floating mountain I was in was in the middle, floating in the turbulence of time and space. It was seven or eight hundred miles long and one or two hundred miles wide, forming a small world of its own.

From time to time, meteorites float quietly through the void, and some fast meteorites will bring a fiery red tail, instantly lighting up the sky.

The huge valley is covered by a silkworm chrysalis-like atmosphere, but the air here is very thin, just like standing on the Pai Plateau, and there will always be a little panting when breathing.

There are no four seasons and day and night here, and it is warm like spring all year round. Although it rarely rains, the land is not dry, and the flowers, plants and trees grow lushly.

Looking around, there are whole groups of argali and wild donkeys running in the meadow that can't be seen at a glance. There are often sounds of tigers roaring in the dense forest, and traces of wild boars and wild bears can be seen in the dense forest from time to time. There is a very complete biological chain in Duan'er Fukong Mountain, and I also know that the most powerful monsters here, even the saber-toothed tigers in the forest, as long as they are prevented early, these jungle kings will hardly hurt people.

A group of five of us got out of the giant tree cave, and when we looked up, we saw the orc village built by the stream not far away. The clear stream meandered through the middle of the village, surrounded by a few simple wooden houses of the orc tribe. Together, the smoke rising from the central empty field curls up and floats straight into the sky.

I remember that when I came last time, this small orc village was still in its infancy, and now the simple wooden houses have basically been built. A few orc children were playing happily by the stream, and two older children stood In the shallow stream, with a bamboo basket in his hand, it looks like he is fishing.Ella, the daughter of the beast girl Kalantso, was also among them, she seemed to be wet all over her body, standing by the stream, showing a row of neat little white teeth, laughing nonstop.

A group of beast girls hoarded hill-like reeds in the village’s grain drying field. These reeds would be woven into straw mats after drying. Several young beast girls were shirtless, revealing their healthy wheat-colored skin. Shi Shi's face was rosy and shiny, watching their nimble hands flying up and down, and the fine reed mat was woven into shape in their hands little by little.

A little further away, there are rows of wooden shelves on which some of the lowest magic herbs are drying. Kalancuo and another beast girl are hanging some new magic herbs on the wooden shelves.The big braids at the back of her head flicked up and down as she bent down to pick up bundles of herbs from time to time.

A few older orcs squatted at the entrance of the village and basked in the sun leisurely. Next to them were the magic herbs they had just collected. While chatting relaxedly, they identified whether these herbs were mixed with other weeds. After all, the survival experience of the old orcs is relatively sophisticated.

There was no trace of the young orcs in the village. It seemed that those orcs should have gone out hunting. There was no shortage of food in Xinliu Valley, but the goblins in the underground caves were struggling on the verge of life and death. They are very scarce, and dare not drill out of the cave, lest they be punished by God.The orcs who have just arrived have established some connections with the goblins, and the orcs exchange some food for the minerals that the goblins have mastered.

The little beast girl Ella was the first to discover our group. The tauren Luka's tall body stood out in the crowd. The group of orc children ran towards us happily. The main reason why they were so eager was because Luka Every time he came, he would bring a few pieces of malt candy, but the quantity was always not enough. Last time, the orc kid who ran at the back didn't get the delicious candy, which made his eyes red.

Seeing the thriving scene in front of him, Yingli turned to me and said joyfully, "They seem to be quite adapted to life here!"

She knew that I brought the orcs who lived in poverty in the civilian area of ​​El City into Xinliu Valley. Seeing that the originally desolate Xinliu Valley was well organized by this group of orcs, I knew that I had recklessly brought this group of abandoned people. The path that the orcs brought to Xinliu Valley is on the right track, and now they have begun to make some profits. Seeing the magical herbs and metal ores that have been treated in the initial stage, these are the supplies that the orcs prepared for me. I need to bring them back to El City.

"These orcs have the most tenacious vitality. They are like the most common alfalfa in the wasteland. As long as they are given a little living space and rain, they can grow luxuriantly!" I said to Yingli.

The tauren Luka ran forward a few steps and picked up Ella with one hand, and put Ella on his shoulder with a smirk, and Ella's clear laughter like a silver bell came from all over the field.The orc children left behind looked at Ella enviously, and danced happily on the plateau around Luka.

The old orc Zewang greeted me from a distance, saluted me deeply, and said seriously: "Welcome back, my master!"

"Although you are my followers, I want you to call me by my first name, Jijia!" I didn't stop, and continued to walk to the orc village by the stream. Those beastmen who were busy working The girls also came out together, standing neatly outside the village, their faces brimming with happiness.

"Where are the orcs in the village?" It was only then that I realized that there was not even a strong orc in the entire orc village, only a group of women, children and old people remained.

"It's been a long time since I went to the depths of the valley with Miss Su to find the World Tree Branch..." the beast girl Kalantso stood beside me and replied, nominally she is still my slave girl, and to the beast people here, she She is my spokesperson here, not only she thinks so, but everyone in the village thinks so.

The only bad thing here is that there is no difference between day and night. If there is no time hourglass to count the time, it is impossible to remember how long it has passed.

"Since Sister Su left, Ella has been hungry about 32 times!" Sitting on Luka's shoulder, little Ella added to me. Obviously she disdainful of her mother's vague concept of time, but she couldn't describe the time, so she had to Use meals as nodes of time.

I calculated carefully, and the orcs almost still continued the two-meal system, and the 32 times mentioned by little Ella happened to be [-] days.

It seems that on the second day after I left last time, Su should have returned to the orc tribe, but she didn't stay in the tribe, and set off again with all the men in the tribe. She had revealed to me in a few words before, Xinliu Valley will do the last thing for me, and then return to El City before her body is completely demonized. She wants to spend a few days of quiet life under the lemon tree in her backyard.

But this time, Kalantso should know something. I heard some ancient elf language "World Tree... branch" in her words. It seems that after Su came back, he must have given some detailed explanations to the orcs. I raised my head and asked Kalantso beside me: "What did Su tell you when she came back? Do you know where she took the orcs? Did she bring the 'Shadow Body' potion?"

Helena and Becky were full of hostility towards Kalancuo. They were not friendly to this good-looking orc female warrior, especially when they saw her wearing extremely simple orc leather armor, they whispered an elf language Come.

In the past six months, I have learned a lot of ancient elf phrases, so I can understand Helena's "cow" a little bit, which is probably a satire on Kalancuo.

"Miss Su came back just to say that she wanted to find some helpers, and went to hunt a guardian beast in a deep valley. It is said that the guardian beast is guarding the world branch of this valley. I don't know the exact location, probably only Miss Su's. The pet can be found, and she has taken away all the 'Shadow Body' potions!" Kalancuo said to me.

Ying Li stood aside and repeated in amazement: "World tree... branch... World tree..."

I know that Yingli knows far more about magic than I do. She has almost no hobbies at ordinary times, except that she likes to read those magic books in the library.

At this time, she was chanting repeatedly in the ancient elf language, as if she remembered something, she raised her head and said to me: "I remembered, I read it in a book of miscellaneous talks about "Journey to the Plane". After such an introduction, the magician predicted that each small plane has an independent world system. Generally speaking, any plane is composed of the world stone or the world tree, the source of water or the fire of the earth's core. Then the broken plane that is smaller than the small plane also has the original power to support this small world, and the world tree branch Su mentioned should be the original power to support the world of Xinliu Valley."

"Original power?" I repeated.

"It should be right!" Ying Li's eyes lit up, looking at the huge intertwined roots outside the Fukong Mountain, those thick roots closely connected the nine Fukong Mountains, she pointed Those giant tree roots in the void continued: "Those should be the roots of the World Tree!"

"World Tree?" I know very little about the World Tree. Old Kuru rarely said anything about elves. Orcs and elves are natural enemies.

I only know that the world tree is the origin of life for elves, and where there is a world tree, there will be elf civilization.

Ying Li said that the huge dead tree roots in the void outside Xinliu Valley were actually the roots of the World Tree, but I didn't see any elves in Xinliu Valley!
"This should be a dead world tree. It should be because of the accidental death of this world tree that the complete world of Xinliu Valley slowly collapsed. The original Xinliu Valley should be at least bigger than it is now. It was hundreds of times higher, but it was a pity that it finally fell apart and shattered into countless broken meteorite fragments, returning to the void. The nine-stage floating mountain we see now is just a few large pieces of land closest to the roots of the World Tree. The roots of the dead world tree were tightly intertwined, and finally formed this small demiplane." Ying Li speculated about the origin of the entire Xinliu Valley, but I think what she said is still very well-founded.

"As for the appearance of vital signs in these sections of the floating mountain range, it is actually because there are still residual branches of this dead world tree. These residual branches of the tree of life are the original power of life in the entire Xinliu Valley." Win Li made the final deduction, and then said to me: "Su should be looking for the world branch here!"

"What is she doing with the World Branch?" I blurted out a little strangely.

"Because mastering the original power here is equivalent to mastering the rules of this world. For example, the most basic restriction of this valley: restricting magic apprentices and warrior apprentices above level [-] from entering this world. In your hands, you can try to change it..." Ying Li said to me seriously.

Hearing Ying Li's words, my heart suddenly beat violently. That's right, it's the joy of suddenly having huge wealth. I clearly know how much wealth Xinliu Valley will mean to me, yes Yes, there are natural magic herbs and magic ores here, and it is vast and rich.I pressed her shoulders excitedly, looked into her eyes seriously and asked, "You mean, as long as you master the world branch here, you have mastered the whole Xinliu Valley?"

Yingli nodded.

All of a sudden, I felt that the whole world was spinning around me, and the huge wealth contained in it was self-evident.

Yes, from the day I owned the Warhammer of the 'Time and Space Breaker', I found that the 'Time and Space Breaker' has a deep connection with the altars on the ruins of the goblin civilization. Between the plane and the demiplane.

What I am most worried about every day is that when I wake up in the morning, I will find that I have become a seventh-level magic apprentice. What Li said, if I find the branch of the world tree in this valley, changing the rules of this valley means that I will completely own this rich valley of the demiplane.

"Do you know where Su and the others have gone?" I asked Kalantso beside me.

She put two fingers into her mouth and whistled loudly, and the sharp whistle pierced into the sky.

"roar~"

A roar of a tiger like thunder came, startling a group of flying birds in the dense forest in the distance. Those tricolor birds flew away from the dense forest like a cloud, and a few wild deer scorpions panicked and ran fainted. He turned his head, got out of the jungle, and ran around in the meadow in a panic.

A ray of white light flashed through the forest and ran towards us like lightning. It turned out to be the white light saber-toothed tiger beside Su. In just a few breaths, it ran in front of us at lightning speed, and let out a deep cry at us. roar.

The orc children standing next to Luka sat on the grass in fright...

The beast girls who stayed behind in the tribe were also pale with fright. Only Yingli and I were in better condition. We had killed more than a dozen sabre-toothed tigers during the expedition in Xinliu Valley, and now we no longer have any fear of saber-toothed tigers.

Kalancuo slowly approached the saber-toothed tiger, and gently pressed his hand on its forehead...
