Starting from Zero

Chief-In-Charge, the landscape design of the guild, explained: "The so-called floating city does not mean that the entire city should float. I mean to build a city similar to Venice. Such a city. As the superstructure of the city, Tree of Life covers the entire city, forming a huge umbrella structure. We can even use some natural magic to spawn plants such as canes on the branches of Tree of Life. Hang down some bird’s nest-like houses, which will look more beautiful.

The middle-level area of ​​the city is on the water. There are two options for this location. One is to build a fixed foundation-style house like Venice. , Of course, the architectural style can choose the plant buildings of the elves city, or you can use human buildings. Or if you like nature, I suggest to build a floating house."

"Floating house?"

< p>"Yes, floating houses. Use some simple buoyancy devices to make the houses float, and use fixed anchor piles or simply use chains or rattans to fix them. The houses are allowed to move within a certain range, but there will be no houses. The situation of alternate positions."

"You just said that this is the middle level, that means there is still something underwater?"

"It depends on your thoughts." The design director said: "If you want to be more fancy, I suggest you can set up some transparent force field walls underwater or simply use a crystal cover. Anyway, you can create a transparent structure and build an underwater city. If you don't want it Too fancy, this part can be omitted completely. Of course, under the root system of Tree of Life, cities can also be built, but it is no different from Underground City. The specific situation depends on what kind of city you want, and the architectural technology. There seems to be no shortage of guilds."

I turned my head and looked at Rose, but Rose did not answer directly, but snapped his fingers. Su Mei and Hong Yue quickly got together with her and started a quick, low-pitched discussion. After a few minutes, the two returned to their seats, and Rose said to me, “Since the city is not going to expand, let’s make it more gorgeous. Don’t go to waste in the city, in the air or underground. We suggest that it is better to make two floating islands suspended in the sky in the past, and connect the ground with Tree of Life rattans. This may feel better."

< p>Hong Yue also followed: "Tree of Life now occupies too much space. Although our new city looks quite large, the usable space is not rich. Setting up a high, middle and low multi-storey building system can effectively use the space. Increase city capacity. And this is a tourist city, practicality is not the main goal, good-looking is the first."

"In this case, it will be set up according to the multi-cultural structure. Moreover, I think if possible, It’s better to build another connecting channel to the sea."

"To connect to the sea?" I asked in confusion: "Why do we need to build such a waterway?"

The design chief -In-Charge said: "In fact, there is no waterway to the sea, but I think since it is an entertainment-oriented city, of course the more complete the supporting facilities, the better."

"This idea is good. "Rose said: "In this case, let's make it that way."

I thought about it and agreed to this plan, but it is not that simple to implement this plan. Although we have all the technologies used in this city, the cost issue is definitely not so easy to control. We must know that we need to build many special building structures that have never been seen before. These complex buildings are not as cheap as ordinary buildings. On the contrary, the construction cost of these buildings will be very exaggerated.

Although the cost has increased drastically, in the end we chose to build a more gorgeous and dreamy city. After all, this is a tourist city. If it's not fancy, what should we sell?

I don’t need to worry about the construction of the city. As long as the general direction is set, someone will be responsible for it. After I decided on the city construction work, I didn’t care about it anymore, and I just lost my work. The construction department of the guild. Of course, before leaving, I communicated with Polsephone. After all, she was a god, and I was worried that once I left, others would not be able to command her. But it's not bad. Polsephone was very good at talking when I talked about this with Polsephone.

After talking with Polsephone, I didn’t take time off either, but I asked about the location of the god of war, Ladamantis. With the help of the military god, I quickly saw Ladamantis in Tianyu City. At this time, she was surrounded by a tall defense mother tree and didn't know what to study there.

"Radamantis. Why are you here? I found you on Isinger's side!"

Radamantis Looking back at me, he started to get busy, but he didn’t stop and said, "Didn’t you let me take charge of these four defense mother trees?"

"I am Let you be responsible for the four defensive mother trees, but the question is what Banshee I want?"

In fact, I originally brought back the noisy Banshee’s lair and let Radamantis take it for planting. In the final analysis, The goal is to add a powerful guardian creature to the guild. It can be said that the defense of the mother tree is just an unexpected harvest, from the very beginning, my goal is to protect the creatures, not to defend the mother tree.

Radamantis did not panic when he heard my question, but said naturally. "Banshee's lair has been completed. If you want to produce it, you only need to add energy matter. If you want to see it, we can make some now."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up Get it, I want to see what the battle strength of Banshee is. I don’t want to get it back after so much effort as a display."

"Okay, I will let them prepare things. But you plan to be specific Which defensive mother tree should be used to incubate Banshee?"

"Use Isengard to move the defensive mother tree of the fortress. There are no outsiders over there, and confidentiality work is better."

At present, three of the four defensive mother trees of our guild have been planted in place, and the remaining one is reserved for the elven city under construction. The three defense mother trees that have been planted are located in Fulcrum City, Tianyu City and Isengard Mobile Fortress. Among them, Sky City is the transportation hub of our guild in Europe, so not only our guild players and domestic players, but also foreign players are very large in the city. After all, as an intercontinental hub city, the internal flow of people can be imagined.

In contrast, Fulcrum City is slightly better than Tianyu City. This is a Fortress City, and it is also a forward fortress. It is the only and final support for our guild and even the entire Chinese region in Japan. Point itself is a strategic support point. In addition, due to the fact that the situation between China and Japan is extremely unclear recently due to the eight major snakes, the current pivot city has been completely closed by our guild, except for the players in the guild and a small number of players. Players from our guild with a better relationship, we no longer allow anyone to enter Fulcrum City. However, although the personnel are relatively simple, there are still outsiders after all, so this confidential work is not so easy to do.

Compared to the two previous cities, Isengard Mobile Fortress is completely different.

First of all, Isinger Mobile Fortress is not a true independent city. In the system certification, Isinger Mobile Fortress is a satellite city belonging to the Isinger Twin Cities rather than an independent city. Secondly, Isinger Mobile Fortress is not built somewhere near Isinger, it is actually located at the bottom of the Sky City in the Isinger Twin Cities. Although it is at the bottom of the Sky City, because Isengard Sky City is upside down directly above Isengard Ground City, Isengard Sky City is actually an inverted city, and its bottom is facing the sky. And Isinger Mobile Fortress usually stands on the flat bottom of this Sky City.

Because of this strange setting, Isengard Mobile Fortress is not actually in contact with the ground, but is located at a fairly high place. In addition, although Isinger is an international metropolis, which includes players from almost every country in the world, Isinger's development level is graded. The ground city of Isengard is almost a completely free city. Except for a few military facilities such as military camps, the other areas are almost public areas, and any non-hostile players can enter and exit at will. However, this kind of opening is only for the ground city. Isengard Sky City is a semi-open area, which is only open to players of the guild and a few alliance guilds, while Isengard Underground City, Isengard Mobile Fortress and Isengard Mobile Fortress All are completely internal areas. Among them, Isinger Underground City is open to all players of the guild, while Isinger Underground City is only open to certain specific players of the guild, even ordinary members are prohibited from entering. As for Isinger Mobile Fortress, that is another special setting.

When Isinger Mobile Fortress is stationed in Isinger, there are almost no people inside Isinger Mobile Fortress, except for the weapon system and flight system responsible for manipulating Isinger Mobile Fortress. Except for some personnel, Isinger Mobile Fortress is basically unmanned when it is not in battle. When battle needs occur, Isinger Mobile Fortress will temporarily station troops and personnel to prohibit any unrelated personnel from entering. Therefore, Isinger Mobile Fortress is actually the safest among these three cities, and its level of confidentiality is definitely the highest among these cities.

After determining the target, Radamantis and I directly teleported to Isengard Mobile Fortress. Under the leadership of Radamantis, we quickly saw the newly transplanted one. The defensive mother tree that came here. At this time, the defensive mother tree was planted on a small square. In the center of the square, the defensive mother tree was erected like a flagpole, while on the ground surrounded by the trunk is a circle of fountains. This design allows the defensive mother tree. It becomes very much like a central sculpture, but this "sculpture" is a little bigger.

"You will choose a place to defend the mother tree seed. It feels like it is in line with the surrounding environment, and it doesn't look abrupt at all."

Radamantis shook his head and said: "Don't praise me, I just like to study the creatures of the eagle-body Banshee series. Gardening is nothing for me. This placement is all taken care of by professional players in the guild. I am only responsible for guiding the transplantation work."

I nodded and said: "These people's designs sound pretty good. By the way, what's the matter with this circle of fountains? How do I feel that the water doesn't seem right?"

"Feel it?" Radamantes smiled and said to me: "You'll know if you take a closer look."

When I heard Radamantes' words, I walked to the pond curiously. I lowered my head and looked at it, and then I reached out and took some of it to my mouth and tasted it. As a result, as soon as the water entered my mouth, an extremely irritating smell spread, which made me spray all the water in my mouth quickly. go out. "Damn, is this dreamy spring water? Why does it taste?"

"You have a good taste." Ladamantes said with a smile: "This is mainly ordinary water. We are in A connection device is made above. Every time a drop of dream spring water in the dream pool will flow into the fountain, of course, if necessary, the injection speed and dosage can be increased manually."

" Do you want to use this method to provide energy for the defense of the mother tree?"

"It is true." Ladamantes said: "But dreaming spring water is not enough, we also put the blood pool I am connected."

"There is blood in the blood pool?"

"Of course, otherwise, what do you think you tasted just now?"

" p>

"Oh..." While nauseous, I quickly took out the water from the Phoenix Dragon Space to rinse my mouth. This was really unbearable. The blood water in the blood pool is not only a problem of blood water, the thing also has a variety of disgusting liquid ingredients such as bath water, rotting Corpse Water, and so on. It can be said that the thing is actually more disgusting than the cesspit. Although that thing can improve the attribute for dark attribute players, everyone is for external use, but no one will drink this thing. It's better if I didn't know just now. Now that I know, I feel that my stomach is about to turn over!

Radamantis said with a smile: "Don’t make a fuss about nothing, isn’t it just a little blood?"

"Fart’s blood, what’s in there I know everything very well. I made the first pool of blood in the first place!"

"Okay, do you understand it?" Radamantes changed the subject and said, "Okay, Now that the place is here, let's start to incubate Banshee, right?"

Of course I got serious when it came to business. I first looked up and down the defensive mother tree, and then asked: "How did this defensive mother tree hatch Banshee? Isn't it the same as other hawk-body Banshee series creatures that grow sarcoma, and then hatch the larvae?"

"Not so disgusting." Ladamantis pointed to the top of the tree trunk. I followed his fingers and saw that there seemed to be a few oval crystals embedded in the trunk at a fairly high position above the trunk.

"What is that?"

Ladamantis explained: "That is the incubator. Unlike the brood of ordinary eagle-body Banshee creatures, this defense mother tree does not The primary level of reproduction is not achieved by producing meat sacs. This defense mother tree uses a method of in vivo reproduction close to higher organisms, it will hatch Banshee in the body, and when it comes out, it will directly enter the adult body. "

"This is a nice feature."

"Not bad?" Radamantes asked in surprise, "You said it was good? Do you know, this defense Banshee production by the mother tree consumes so much energy. The most important reason is that it uses in vivo reproduction. If it can be reproduced in vitro, it doesn’t need to consume so much energy."

"Does this have an impact? Even if it is. Using external reproduction, the initial energy does not need to be supplied by the defense mother tree. How much difference can there be between the two?"

"You don't understand this." Ladamantis explained: "Magic creatures and natural creatures. It’s not the same. In addition to the energy they usually eat, the most important thing is to absorb magical energy from the outside to meet their own needs. If the defense mother tree hatches Banshee, then the defense mother tree needs to use its own magic structure Absorb energy into Banshee's body, which will cause a sudden increase in the energy requirements of the defense mother tree. However, if the incompletely grown sac-shaped egg is directly discharged, then the egg must have its own energy absorption capacity. After that, rely on Absorbing free energy, the egg will hatch on its own, and the defense mother tree does not need to provide energy. Of course, this method also has disadvantages, for example, the development of the egg will be slower, and the reproduction is larvae instead of adults. In addition, individuals grown from independent embryos are usually much weaker than those directly hatched, because the mother can continuously adjust and optimize the offspring genetically during direct hatching, while the self-developing eggs are not treated like this. "

"Listening to you, I would rather directly incubate the complete body like this. Soldier quality but not quantity, it's okay to spend more money, you can't ask for defective products!"

"Since you have said so, shall we start now?"

I nodded and said: "Okay, let's start."

Probably because of the supporting facilities Now it is very simple to catalyze the birth of Banshee. Radamantis threw the prepared large amount of materials directly into which fountain, and the defensive mother tree seemed to have no response, but in fact it was constantly absorbing the materials in the fountain. Although I can't see how those substances disappear on the water, the boiling pool is enough to explain the problem.

"How much material did you just throw in?" I asked, looking at the boiling fountain.

Radamantis shook his head while continuing to pour things down: "I haven't weighed it."

"I didn't ask you how much it weighed, but I asked you to add it. These things are enough to reproduce how many Banshees."

"Oh, you said this. I don’t know the specific number for the time being, but according to the previous test of energy response, if nothing unexpected happens , These things are enough for the defensive mother tree to produce more than one hundred Banshees."

"Then the Banshee that is produced will come out of the crystal-like thing on it?"

>

Radamantis nodded and said this time: "Yes, just come out over there."

"Then should I prepare some clothes here?"

Radamantis shrugged and said: "This is a mutant breed. I have never seen what they look like. If you are afraid of when the time comes, you can prepare first, but whether Banshee needs to wear clothes I don’t Guaranteed."

I thought about what Radamantis said seemed reasonable. The eagle-body Banshee is a creature that does not need to wear clothes. They have feathers all over their bodies. Although their bodies look like humans, their vital parts are covered by feathers, so even if they don't wear anything, that's fine. However, we don't know what kind of Banshee is, and what characteristics it has. This information is too little, so we are completely ignorant of whether this Banshee needs to wear clothes.

"I think I should prepare more. It's better than looking for it temporarily." When I said that, summon sent out two Qilin warriors for them to notify, and I started to help pull Damantis threw something into the pool.

Speaking of which This fountain is actually not big. The things we throw in back and forth are at least enough to fill the pool several times, but now not only can’t see any accumulations in the pool, it’s unexpected. Even the water in the pool, which was originally a bit colorful, has gradually become transparent and clear.

"This pool of water...?"

Radamantis glanced at the waterway of the pool: "This is caused by the absorption of the defense mother tree. Just add some dream spring water and blood pool. The blood water is fine."

"This consumption rate is really fast."

"So this thing costs money." Ladamantis finished speaking. I sighed there: "Fortunately, I have joined our Frost Rose League. If I had been on the Olympus Divine Race before, even if there was such a defensive mother tree, I would be impossible to cultivate a girl."

" Is the Olympus Divine Race very poor?"

"That's not true, but it's not rich either. There are not many forces that are willing to throw money like our guild."

"Our guild spends money on the blade. This is not to spend money indiscriminately."

Radamantis smiled and said: "It depends on who you are compared with. If you have the ability, you can go. Compare it with the Holy See of that fellow Jehovah."

When I heard this, I just stopped talking. No matter how economical we are, we can't compare with Jehovah. The guy said it was a Divine Race, and I doubt whether he got involved in Beggars' Sect before he became a god. In the entire world Divine Race, no one is so stingy with Jehovah. It is absolutely impossible to say that they are poor. The areas controlled by Jehovah are relatively affluent areas, and the various military expenditures of the Holy See are very low. Without this most expensive head, I can hardly imagine that the Holy See would have no money. Therefore, Jehovah’s usual performance is absolutely pretending to be poor.

After we put all the materials into the pool in proportion, the people I sent out to look for clothes returned. But because I didn't expect this stubble before, what I brought back was not any good clothes, just a lot of unmarked magic robes. This kind of robe is the standard equipment for the apprentice mage, and there are many such clothes in the Guild NPC Mage Training Center. It is estimated that Qilin warrior went there to get it.

After putting the robe in place, Ladamantis stopped filling, and then looked up at the nurturing cavity of the defense mother tree above, waiting for Banshee's birth.

The benefits of in vivo incubation are revealed at this time. As long as the energy is sufficient, the incubation process in the body can be very rapid. Less than five minutes after our filling is completed, the crystal-like hatching cavities on the top suddenly begin to fall off, but these hatching cavities do not suddenly fall off. There is a thick rattan behind them that is connected to the pit on the trunk. After the hatching cavity is separated from the trunk, the rattan will start to stretch, and then it will slowly descend to the ground with the hatching cavity.

We didn’t realize that these crystal-like hatching cavities were not crystals, but water balls. The shell of the incubation cavity seems to be a very flexible membrane structure, and the inside of it is likely to be some kind of liquid, but because the color of the incubation cavity is relatively dark, you can only vaguely see a curled up inside. Human form, but no concrete structure can be seen.

When the rattans put these hatching chambers on the ground, the part where the hatching chambers and rattans are connected suddenly broke, and then the rattans began to quickly retract into one of the pits on the trunk. The hatching chambers that fell to the ground burst suddenly one after another, and sprayed a large amount of dark brown liquid.

As the hatching cavity burst, the Banshee who were soaked in it finally got out of the embryonic state, but their current state made me a little stunned.

"This is Banshee?" I looked at Banshee who crawled out of the hatchery closest to us. This creature, which is actually related to Banshee, has a white and rosy, pink skin, with long hair of different colors. Some individuals have black hair, some have red hair, and some are green and purple. In short, they have any color, but no matter what color the hair is, they do have beautiful long hair.

In addition to pink skin and beautiful long hair, these Banshees also have slender arms, well-proportioned long legs, a double S-curved body, and extremely obvious feminine characteristics.

Combining everything I have seen, I finally found that apart from hair color, I can't find the difference between these Banshee and human beings. They don’t have sharp claws, wings, tails, scales, and other features that humans don’t have. Except for their good skin and a little too much hair color, they don’t have the same color as humans. These Banshees look like human females. They don’t have any. Any difference.

However, the above is what they looked like when they were lying on the ground. When the one closest to me, Banshee lifts the head looked towards me, I immediately keenly discovered that they are with Human beings are different.

Not a face. Banshee's face is very beautiful, small and exquisite oval face, with almost perfect facial features, although lacking a little personality, I have to say that she is definitely a beauty. However, their eyes are different from humans. Banshee's eyes are closed and humans are a little bit bigger. Of course, this can be regarded as a beautiful feature, but their pupils are the same color as their hair. The Banshee closest to me has dark red pupils, and I saw three more of this color. In addition, there are two black eyes and two green eyes, and there are also purple ones. There are a few further away because of the wrong direction, so I can't see them for the time being, but I have discovered several kinds of them. colour.

Except for the eye color problem, these Banshee pupils are different from humans. Their pupils are like crawling eyes, their pupils are upright, and they actually have two eyelids. The outer layer is the same as a human, but there is a horizontal transparent eyelid on the inside. These are things that humans don't have.

"Radamantis, is this normal? Why does it look like there is no battle strength?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (qidian. com) Voting referral votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
