Game of the World Tree Chapter 562: A city on a hill
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
Facts have proved that when it comes to city construction efficiency, "Elf Kingdom" is really ranked second by the Mengmeng Committee, and no guild dares to be ranked first.
After Xiao Xianmiao made it clear what she was thinking, the players in the guild suddenly became excited...
And those doubting voices disappeared after the players opened the passage to the third fortification site a week later.
As Xiao Xianmiao said, although the rock layer in this basin is very thick and cannot directly lead to the underground world, there is a cave once opened by Spider Queen Rose that can lead directly to the third closest place to the underground world. Fortification point.
And a cave that can accommodate the size of Spider Queen Rose at her golden level is definitely not small.
At the very least, it can easily accommodate the most popular trucks driving side by side in each other's direction, and it can also leave a lot of space for four or five players to jump back and forth while standing on their heads.
Good transportation conditions are a prerequisite for large-scale trade.
The cave is slightly twisty, but the impact is not significant. Players can walk for an hour to reach the third fortification point closest to the underground world. After that, they only need to dig out a passage to officially connect to the underground world.
It is not difficult to open the passage. The thickness of the rock formations at the third fortification point and the underground world is thinner than the players imagined, probably less than 500 meters.
The tunnel dug by Spider Queen Rose is already three hundred meters underground.
Therefore, in the end, the player only dug less than a hundred meters with the help of magic and crypt spiders, and directly opened the entrance to the underground world.
What surprised them was that after entering the underground world from this place, what they arrived at was not the deep cave where Black Rock City is located (see Chapter 172 for details), but the edge of the Silent City-State Alliance (see Chapter 347 for details). City!
This is very important.
You know, the one that has the most trade relations with players in the underground world now is the Silent City-State Alliance.
The Cave of the Deep is still too small, and there are too few dwarves in Black Rock City. They can no longer meet the trade needs of the growing players.
So, since the number of players exceeded 100,000, they mainly used the Deep Cave as a springboard to trade with the already-allied Silent City-State Alliance.
Under such circumstances, a smooth trade route becomes particularly important.
Although Rivendell also has an entrance to the underground world, it is still too remote.
Currently, players' trade with the Silent City-State Alliance either needs to pass through the complex and winding underground lake system of the Deep Cave, or simply use the teleportation array of Black Rock City...
However, the carrying capacity of the teleportation array is limited.
It's okay to transport people at critical moments, but if you really want to transport goods, the magic stones consumed will be too large.
Putting goods into the storage space won't work either.
Transmitting a storage space magic device full of goods consumes even more magic stones than directly transporting goods...
This involves the influence of space laws.
So... it is very important to be able to open up a trade route directly to the Alliance of Silent City-States.
At this moment, no one in the Mengmeng Committee questioned Xiao Xianmiao’s decision.
Not to mention anything else, they just control this channel to collect tolls. I am afraid they will be merciless in collecting money in the future!
Don’t look at the Heart of Nature Guild, which has great success with the help of dwarves.
Of all the player guilds, they do the most trade.
If they want to trade more conveniently in the future, they may have to choose this trade route.
In a sense, the bright future of the Mengmeng Committee has been determined.
Although they have a good relationship with the Heart of Nature Guild, they also have a competitive mood.
In the past, the Mengmeng Committee relied on the land of the Chosen City to eat up the Heart of Nature, but now it seems that in the future, it can rely on the trade routes to suppress the opponent.
The one who controls the trade routes is the uncle.
After thinking about this clearly, the players on the Mengmeng Committee became even more enthusiastic.
Even if the environment here is not as good as the Elf Forest, even if there is nothing here now, their hearts are still full of hope.
Subsequently, the city-building work in full swing officially began.
The main materials for building the city were obtained from the stones obtained after Xiaoxianmiao exploded the mountain.
It can be regarded as waste utilization.
Don’t tell me, the effect is not bad!
The Dark Mountains are called the Dark Mountains because the obsidian reserves in the mountains are extremely rich.
In the world of Segas, the stone with the same name as Blue Star Obsidian is itself a good building material and magic material.
Of course, the obsidian in the Segas world is different from the obsidian in Blue Star.
Although they all look like black glass, the obsidian in the world of Sagas is much tougher.
Under the influence of magic, obsidian can not only be used as a building material, but can also be directly built into city walls.
And the city wall built with this kind of material will be even more effective when it uses magical defensive barriers.
Sandstorm City in the Dead Desert is an example.
In fact, if the Dark Mountain Range was not relatively remote from the human world, and it was originally within the sphere of influence of the orcs, otherwise, there would have been forces among humans who had already found ways to mine stones in the mountains.
In this regard... I can only say that no matter how harsh the environment is, it still has its own merits.
It depends on whether you can discover it.
At this time, the players couldn't help but sigh, the orc race... is really lying on the treasure mountain without knowing it.
As if responding to the sighs of the players, after the passage to the underground world was opened, another happy news came...
Someone discovered magic stone and mithril veins at the third fortification point!
Not only that, there are also large derivative veins of iron ore under the main vein. Some life-style players who specialize in forging have even discovered precious fine gold!
This is really a double happiness.
After playing the game for so long, players are well aware of the common magic materials in "Elf Kingdom".
Needless to say, magic stones are the main source of magic power for many magic arrays and magic guides. The operation of the teleportation array relies on the magic power provided by magic stones, and the player's magic gun cannot do without magic stones.
Mythril not only looks as beautiful as shining silver, but also has the characteristics of being as light as goose feathers and as strong as steel. It also has extremely high magical conductivity and is the best choice for making high-quality magic weapons and various magic props. Treasure material!
Many players' equipment contains mithril.
As for iron ore and fine gold, the former is naturally the main source of raw materials for various equipment, while the latter has a higher magic affinity than mithril and is often used in the casting of artifacts!
It is also interesting to say that players find these veins through the passages of crypt spiders.
When they found the mineral vein, they also found a lot of signs of being eaten.
It’s just that the traces look a bit old.
Obviously, Rose, the Spider Queen, once lived here.
However, she did not eat all these veins, but stayed for a while before heading to Rivendell.
This is also because the mineral deposits in Rivendell are richer and of higher quality.
It’s just that the high-quality mineral deposits on the surface of Rivendell have been almost mined, leaving only some of so-so quality.
Although there are massive high-quality mineral deposits deeper underground, it is difficult for players to reach there. Only cave spiders who are good at digging holes can.
Even if players can dig deep underground to mine mineral deposits, whether Rose, the Spider Queen, is willing to feed on the mineral deposits is another matter.
Mines that cannot be mined are equivalent to none.
In this case, the high-quality mineral veins discovered by the players in the Dark Mountains can be said to be quite a surprise.
What makes players even happier is that they unexpectedly discovered that these ancient crypt spider caves are still functional.
Some players tried it, and were surprised to find that through the passage of the Crypt Spider, they could even walk all the way to Rivendell and come out of one of the hidden caves!
The whole process takes less than seven days...
This efficiency is much faster than spending a month walking on the mountain roads on the surface, and it is also much faster than walking on the deep underground caves!
To return to Rivendell through the underground world, you also have to cross the underground lake system, which takes ten days and a half.
Who said that the Dark Mountains are barren and have no future?
This **** place is simply a treasure!
The good news is not over yet...
Half a month after the discovery of the mineral vein, the third piece of good news also came.
That is the road leading to the Eastern Fertile Plains, which was also blown up by players using magic stone bombs.
As Xiao Xianmiao said, the part of the fertile plain adjacent to the southern part of the Dark Mountain belongs to the Kingdom of Iris. Through the blasted passage, players can completely leave the Dark Mountain area in up to an hour, and then It takes at most one day's journey to reach the nearest human village to the Dark Mountains.
Of course, the map of the Kingdom of Iris is not yet fully open, and players can only touch the edges of villages and towns at most, but this is enough.
The road has been opened and the trade route has been established.
In the past, there was only one road from the Fertile Plains to the upper western area of the underground world where the Dark City Alliance and the Silent City Alliance were located.
That is the Sandstorm City on the Death Desert.
However, if you want to go from there, you have to walk through the harsh desert for seven days and seven nights, and there is also the possibility of being attacked by orcs or desert lizards.
But things are different now.
If the road to the Dark Mountains is officially opened, starting from the villages and towns on the edge of the human world and taking the road opened by the players, you can reach the committee's fortification point in one day, and you can reach the entrance to the underground world in a few hours.
I don’t know how much higher the efficiency is than before!
Underworld Western Area, Kingdom of Iris, Desert of Death, Forest of Elves...
Unknowingly, the fortification point chosen by Xiao Xianmiao actually connected all these areas, and there is currently the most convenient road to any place!
Even the slowest players are aware of the value of this treasure land.
The hub.
Here is an undeveloped transportation hub and the future business capital!
At this time, the benefits of the rugged terrain of the Dark Mountains emerged again.
Building a city in the mountains is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Even such an important transportation hub will inevitably become a treasure coveted by all forces in the future. As long as a strong city is built, players have nothing to fear.
At this moment, everyone on the Mengmeng committee admired Xiao Xianmiao's foresight.
Awesome.
Really awesome.
It seems to be a not very good fortification point, but I didn’t expect it to have such value after some operations.
In comparison, the low concentration of magic power in this area is not that important.
At this time, when thinking about the real-life age of their guild, every player feels as if they have lived as long as a dog.
There is no comparison between people.
Although your guild leader may become the enemy's ally if you are not careful during a fight, this kind of strategic vision is really possible.
She doesn't look like a girl who just celebrated her fifteenth birthday.
The roads are opened, the foundation is cast, and then the city is built.
Taking into account the terrain factors and game background, as well as the use of local materials, the Mengmeng Committee designed the new city to look like a Western-style castle, and tried to add some elf-style designs.
No way, who made the architectural style of the elves to be very grand and beautiful.
Under the planning of Cuckoo Bird and others, this fortress city will be able to accommodate more than 50,000 players after it is built, and can be expanded to a maximum of 200,000.
Of course, this is without considering the future of using land connecting the other two fortification sites.
The name of the city was also thought up by Xiao Xianmiao in advance.
It’s called the city on a hill!
On the one hand, this is a site located in the mountains and the city is located on the mountains; on the other hand, it symbolizes the ambitions of the players!

The city on the top of the mountain is the light that illuminates the world.
They want to build an epic trade city that attracts everyone's attention!
The urban construction work of the Mengmeng Committee is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The other major guilds and guild alliances have not fallen behind either.
One by one, they also became familiar with the terrain of the city building points, planned the city construction plan, and started city construction.
Among them, as everyone speculated, the Heart of Nature designed the new city into a port, and the architectural style adopted the traditional elven style - because it was designed by a half-elf designer.
Their city was named Gray Port by Li Mu after discussion.
This is a tribute to an elven port in the Western fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings" on Blue Star, and it matches well with Rivendell.
Building the city for the first legion was much simpler.
They mainly used local materials, using various types of wood, and then used druid magic to activate the plants.
This is a very convenient method of city construction, and it is also one of the early and efficient city construction methods of the Chosen City. Now it is continued to be carried forward by the First Legion that takes a practical route.
Not to mention, after being revitalized, these wooden houses really look like tree houses, which is very magical.
And their city was named Winterfell after tomatoes.
As for the future central city in the north, he felt that this name was more suitable for the occasion.
However, the city built by the Scourge Knights, the fourth largest guild, has quite a Blue Star style.
They chose Chinese-style architecture and built a garden city in the northwest area of the elves.
Of course, they also activate the wooden structure, which is a fantasy version of the Chinese garden.
The city was named Shangjing.
Of all the city names, it is the least Western-style.
As for the remaining three guild alliances...
All-Stars also chose elven-style architecture, and the city was named Atlantis.
Azeroth uses the common Western fantasy architectural style, and the city name is simple and crude, using Lordaeron directly.
It can be said that it is a tribute to "World of Warcraft" from top to bottom.
However, the urban construction style of Long Live the Goddess is not so uniform.
As the alliance with the most guilds and the weakest strength, their city construction is based on planning the place, and then each guild builds its own, which makes it feel a bit like a chosen city...
The name of the city was named Eden by their vote.
It's also interesting.
Obviously, there are many ways to choose personal IDs and guild names, and all kinds of weird things emerge one after another.
But when building the city, the players were much more honest.
Of course, on the one hand, this is because the city names are most likely decided by voting, and personal bad taste is much less; on the other hand, players are increasingly inserting themselves into the game.
As more and more role-playing activities are done, there are naturally fewer and fewer pranks.
It's just that it doesn't matter if they come up with some weird names. Anyway, they are all transliterations in the ears of the natives of Saigas.
Just like Manchester, a city on the blue star, people in China have absolutely no idea that the ancient meaning of this name is "a mountain in the shape of a breast (harmony)"...
At this point, the seven new cities built by players have been basically finalized.
