Alien world

Chapter 1220 Chapter 142. Late Summer
"I thought of it!"

A few days later, Annan rushed out of his study and broke into Olmedo's office.

boom--

The door of the room automatically closed upon sensing his arrival. Annan ignored it and continued, holding up two leaves of the Other World Tree: "We were wrong! The power of the Other World Tree is not the leaves, but the World Tree!"

Olmedo, who was eating quickly with his head down, raised his head with some leftovers on his lips: "Originally...well, wasn't it originally like this?"

"No! We originally thought that the power was in the leaf, but after taking the leaf away from the Other World Tree, its energy quickly dissipated. Instead, it lasted for a long time within the range of the Other World Tree..."

This indirectly shows how terrifying the radiation range of the elves' world tree is.

"Then when I placed the leaves next to the roots of the Otherworldly Tree, I found that it was regaining energy again."

Olmedo took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What does this mean?"

"This means that we don't have to wait for the Other World Tree to grow up before picking its leaves. Its communication range will spread as the Other World Tree expands, and we can use the leaves of the Other World Tree at will within the range of the Other World Tree!"

Annan asked Olmedo to imagine a future: "With the leaves of the Other World Tree, you can contact friends far away, and guards and wardens can also quickly convey information and intelligence through the leaves of the Other World Tree. If you run out of energy, you can take it to the roots of the Other World Tree to recharge..."

The elves were reluctant to use the World Tree like a dragon guarding treasure, so don't blame Annan for walking ahead of them.

Compared to the World Tree, the Otherworld Tree has an additional advantage of being able to communicate, so Dade can make it grow its roots or develop its crown.

The Other World Tree is now about sixteen meters tall. Once it grows to twenty meters, with a range roughly equivalent to the entire Liberty City, we can change our strategy.

Picking a lot of leaves would not hurt the tree, but it would be bad luck for the bandits around Liberty City. Especially those bandits who escaped from the Principality of Montabullock, they were shocked to find that Liberty City was still chasing them!

And it’s even more clingy than before, and I can’t get rid of it!
They just thought it was because of the experience of Liberty City, and had no idea it was because of the change of the Punishment Legion. In addition to a bunch of former villains, there was also a legion leader who was once a member of the Shadow Brotherhood.

In addition, Olmedo offered information about the Shadow Brotherhood on the condition that "if you help Liberty City find the bad guys, we will allow you to continue your activities." The Punishment Corps moved and cleaned up so quickly that the thieves and bandits didn't even see who was arresting them.

In order to avoid being caught and hanged by Liberty City, the thieves' groups disbanded one after another. Occasionally, a few of them wanted to seek refuge with the nobles. When the Gray Gloves sought asylum, they were crushed by the Punishment Legion along with the nobles.

No one can stop the Free City from punishing evil in the surrounding territories, not even the Lord!

The lords had mixed feelings, but they had to admit that these few hundred gold coins were the most worthwhile money they had ever spent.

"Don't leave yet." Olmedo stopped Annan who was about to leave. "The blacksmith shop is already forging the magic train and rails. We should talk about the route."

"Of course, the route centered on the development of Liberty City!"

"I'm talking about the railroad route of the magic train."

"Oh……"

Annan did not refuse and walked to the map of Middle-earth on the side.

The terrain of the Gem Bay is like an irregular gem... This description is a bit abstract, or like a crabapple leaf. The north is the principality, the west is the Franco territory, and the east is a small force.

The north of the principality faces the northern border, and the west of the Franco territory is the old violet land, neither of which is suitable for extension.

From this perspective, they only have one choice. And as a force on the edge of Middle-earth, strengthening ties with Middle-earth is the most important thing.

"We can extend along this coastline toward the Empire."

Annan drew a line along the coast to Silstovis.

This route overlaps somewhat with the sea route, but is almost unaffected by ratmen and war.

Moreover, the railway naturally extends to prosperous places. The prosperity of Franco Territory is limited, and the Principality of Montabullock can be called the back garden of Liberty City. If you go west, you will pass by some small forces along the way, which can help them appreciate the beauty of Liberty City.

"My map."

"Oh, sorry." Annan patted the map he had scribbled on with a wry smile.

Olmedo stared at the route Annan had drawn and pondered.

Liberty City and Seltovis are nearly 1800 miles apart. Even if a road is built, it will take ten days to get there. But if the magic train is really 100 miles per hour as Annan said, even if it is only half as fast, the time can be shortened to two days. And the cost is only slightly more expensive than paving a road.

There was no need to worry about negotiating with the small forces passing by. Silstovis would definitely not refuse, and since the empire had agreed, they had no way of objecting.

Olmedo was responsible for the communication, and Annan was only responsible for selecting the location of the Liberty City platform - the cape in the southeast corner of Liberty City.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the station was held on Freedom Day, the day Annan celebrated his 19th birthday in this world.

After sharing a piece of cake, Annan pushed Idilia to the construction site.

Before the official start of work, there was a small show: in order to promote the magic train, Annan asked Michael to borrow the locomotive that was still under renovation and let the white dragon wrestle with it.

Visually, the magic locomotive is thicker than the white dragon, but no one thinks that the white dragon will lose - it is a giant dragon!
But when the magic locomotive started moving, slowly but steadily moving forward, it pulled the white dragon over.

"Timmy, come on! I'll give you ten buckets of fish if you win!" Elder, the dragon tamer who was rescued by Little Smokey, stood aside and cheered for the white dragon.

Annan was not to be outdone and encouraged the locomotive: "Pull it over and I'll give you an extra pot of magic stone!"

The white dragon named Timmy flapped its wings and grasped the ground with its limbs, but it was completely unable to withstand the huge force of the magic train. It was dragged backwards and its claws plowed four deep grooves.

Magic Train wins!
Evelyn held the Philosopher's Stone in her hands and captured this powerful scene.

Elder untied the white dragon's reins and comforted it not to be discouraged. The residents around who witnessed this scene cheered. They didn't know what was going on, but it was enough to know that Free City had become more powerful.

Something is missing...

The cheers around him floated into his ears. Annan was thinking hard. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in his ears, and he suddenly remembered that the whistle was missing.

woo-

The magic train drove out of the platform and headed towards the wilderness in the distance.

The wild flowers on the grass swayed in the wind. The children, laughing and talking, chased the train, chasing and chasing, and another summer passed.
