Chapter 464 The third level is coming
Gond has already collected most of the supplies to be brought back to the north. It can be said that everything is ready, except for the east wind.
As soon as the astral teleportation charge was completed, he left the manor quietly and without warning without any delay, taking the collected supplies with him, and boarded the airship back to Dorne.
The reason why he wanted to return to Dorne first was because the books he copied from the Sea Sentinel's library through the [Super Memory Secret Medicine] were still in the Sea Sentinel's dormitory.
Because of the preciousness and great value of knowledge, copying books is actually not allowed in this world and is considered an extremely serious act of theft.
Having done such a theoretical "illegal" thing, for the sake of safety, Gaode naturally could not send these books to Auckland through the hands of others. He could only go back to Dorne in person and bring these books back to the north.
These books filled a large sack. If it weren't for the [Heavy Burden Technique], he might not be able to carry it on his back.
Immediately, Gothe started the astral teleportation, and his figure quickly disappeared into the Sea Sentinel dormitory.
…
The first thing Gothe did when he returned to the north was still to observe the state of the holy tree.
This has become a must-have action for Gaode equivalent to "go home and close the door".
【Yugathira】
Level: Second-level magic plant (3260/5568 months)
Growth gain coefficient: 8.30
Astral teleportation: 0 (0/45 days)
Enlightenment: 0/0
Lifespan: (2/16704 years)
Open Establishment of territory (transformed land): 100 acres
Height: 22 feet
Land magic concentration: 77-140 (basic spiritual land)
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
Since the construction of the Forest of Flora has gradually entered the right track, the lifespan of Yugatha Sheila has officially entered its second year. Compared with the speed of transforming the spiritual land, its growth progress has already made a qualitative leap when it was first planted.
On the one hand, the more spiritual lands Yugathira transforms, the more trees he can plant to increase his advancement speed.
The faster it advances, the faster it opens up areas. This is a virtuous cycle.
Thanks to Adrian's favor, Gothe brought back many magic tree species this time:
One third-level starmoss oak species, seven second-level magic tree species, twenty-eight first-level magic tree species, and twenty-nine zero-level magic tree species.
It is not easy to grow all these magic tree species, and they require different growth conditions.
But fortunately, each magic tree species is equipped with a small amount of native soil.
This is actually the standard package for the sale of magic tree species. It is to facilitate buyers to prepare appropriate nutrient solution based on the native soil after returning, so as to artificially cultivate the magic tree species.
Because in the field of magic plant science, this is the standard method of planting magic plants.
How to analyze the characteristics of the native soil and prepare the corresponding nutrient solution based on the characteristics is an extremely advanced skill and knowledge in the field of magic plant science.
Of course, in front of Flora, the world's most accomplished magic plant master, she skipped this step directly.
The analysis of native soil characteristics and the preparation of nutrient solutions do not exist here at all in Flora.
She plays with metaphysics, directly controlling all things, and with the help of a small handful of native soil and her own "Mother Qi of All Earths", she can create the native land of the magic tree species.
There are too many types of magic trees, and the repetition rate is low.
This is especially true when the magic tree in Flora Forest has not yet reached a large scale.
Hence, the magic tree species Gothe brought back this time are all new tree species for Flora Forest.
This means that these tree species can all get the first wave of rewards for unlocking the "New Picture Book".
A new third-level magic tree species can increase the growth progress of Yugathira for about 600 months.
The second-level magic tree species is 130 months old.
The first-level magic tree species is 28 months old.
With a rough calculation, Gaode can conclude that as long as all these magic tree seeds are planted and sprouted, they can bring nearly 2,500 months of growth progress to Yugatha.
The current Yugathila is only 2308 months away from advancing to the third level.
In other words, this time it can directly help Yuga Tshila advance to the third level magic plant.
As Gothe's sacred object of bond, the advancement of Yugatha Sheila will definitely bring huge feedback to Gothe.
In addition, after advancing to the third level, Yuga Tsheela will most likely gain some new abilities.
Even if these are put aside, Yugathra's advancement can further increase the charging speed of astral teleportation.
This is even more important to Gaode than awakening new abilities.
Because the current astral teleportation once every 45 days is no longer enough for him.
It takes three months to travel between the Plantagenets and the North. This is too restrictive and needs to be shortened urgently.
After feeling the state of Yugatha Sheila, Gaode took the opportunity to check the alien eggs fostered for it.
Nearly two months have passed, and a large part of the blue color representing the water element on the surface of the astral alien egg shell has been transformed into the colorful colors representing the energy of the astral world.
Once Yugathrathila completes the advancement, this transformation speed will inevitably be further accelerated as Yugathrathila becomes stronger and the speed of absorbing astral energy increases.
Gothe did not stay in Flora Forest for too long.
About a quarter of an hour later, he hurried towards Phoenix under the escort of Elder Guyon.
His purpose of coming back this time was to rush to the Black Sails City's All Souls Day auction. Time was already tight and there was no room for waste.
Hence why I didn’t dare to take a moment’s rest even when I was on the road. After just one day, I returned to Phoenix.
After returning, Gothe went to Sunaifa non-stop to express his needs.
The main purpose is to let Sunaifa see which fourth-ring mage in Phoenix is the most available or "most useless" during this period of time and can accompany him to the Black Sails City.
After all, there are only four fourth-ring mages in Phoenix, and they cannot be randomly selected.
"It should be five now." Sunaifa immediately corrected Gothe's wrong statement.
"Has someone broken through to the fourth ring again?"
"It's Quentin." Sunaifa explained.
Gaode raised his eyebrows slightly.
The specific process is not complicated. Basically, after Quentin completed the small tribe recruitment plan he proposed, he took the initiative to stay in Phoenix and contribute his own strength.
The teachings of the Snowfield Guardians are to protect the snowfields. Quentin has always followed this classical teaching. Even now that the Snowfield Guardians have been destroyed, he still remains true to his original intention.
In the past year, he has witnessed with his own eyes the changes that the development of Phoenix has brought to the snowfields, and the good lives of the small tribesmen who lacked food and clothing since they were integrated into Phoenix.
Quentin gradually understood that compared to the Ace people he could protect by wandering in the snowy fields, joining Phoenix and building Phoenix could protect more Northerners and it was more direct.
Faced with Quentin's request, Sunaifa did not care about his past background and decisively recruited him.
One is that she is powerful and is not afraid of Quentin's ulterior motives.
The second is Quentin's performance this year, which also won some trust from Sunaifa.
In addition, Phoenix has always followed the route of great integration. For example, Catherine, who was once the guardian saint of the snowfield, is now also doing a good job in the Public Security Bureau.
After officially joining Phoenix, Sunaifah assigned him two main tasks:
One is to lead the hunters in the tribe to hunt, which is equivalent to the hunter leader.
The other is to explore the northern region and improve the northern resource map.
From the perspective of free time, Quentin actually has the most time, because although what he does is of great significance, it is not urgent and he can go easily.
But after all, this is to protect Gothe's safety and be alone with Gothe. Sunaifa simply cannot trust Quentin as an "outsider" to hand over such a task.
Hence, after some thought, the fourth-ring mage Sunaifa finally selected was Lan Wen, who was also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau with Kathleen.
Lan Wen had always been a supporter of Sunaifa before Gao De killed Donald with his sword. He was a conservative and his loyalty was unquestionable.
The candidates for the City of Black Sail have been decided for the time being, and Gothe and Sunaifa have agreed on another major matter, which is the distribution of the batch of demonic tree species he has brought back this time.
The latest and newest little stories are published for the first time!
In today's Phoenix, the status of "Aoki Immortality Sutra" is basically equivalent to the "Secret Legend of Ice", the bloodline awakening practice method of ice-born mages.
The final achievement in "The Secret of Ice" depends on the strength of your own ice bloodline.
The achievements that the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality" can achieve depend to a certain extent on the sacred objects formed by the contract
Bloodline is difficult to change, it is a matter of destiny.
The existence of the sacred objects of the bond gives those ice-born mages with limited innate bloodline strength an opportunity to "change their destiny."
Because of the popularity of the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality", the popularity of demon tree seeds in the North can be said to be unprecedented.
But the problem is that the North has always been a place where plants are rare. The existence of magic trees is less than in other regions, let alone the seeds of magic trees suitable for forming a contract.
Hence, if Phoenix now wants to obtain high-level magic tree seeds, it mainly relies on Gaode and the initially established cross-sea routes, or more than 80% of them still rely on the former.
Because most of the funds obtained from the cross-sea route were mainly invested in the expansion of the shipyard and the purchase of materials needed for northern construction.
In addition, the route involves the northern border. In order to avoid being exposed, the entire transaction process was cautious, not daring to be lavish, for fear of attracting the attention of people with ulterior motives. Naturally, the results in the acquisition of magic tree species were not satisfactory.
However, as long as the shipyard is moved to Auckland, with the status of the honorary mage of Auckland, we can have a little more freedom.
When the Demonic Tree Seeds are so important and rare, how to distribute high-level Demonic Tree Seeds is undoubtedly a profound knowledge.
The Spiritual Spring Nectar Tree Seed brought back last time, Gothe gave it to Elder Gain who had been diligently guarding the Forest of Flora.
Logically speaking, it should be the turn of the Fourth Ring Elder of the Zhenbing tribe next, but the star moss oak tree species he brought back this time was only the third level.
For a fourth-ring mage, this level of magic tree species is obviously not enough.
Hence, Gaode thought for a long time and decided to create a format similar to an auction:
The star moss oak tree species is released inside the city hall, and mages who are willing to choose it as their sacred object can sign up to participate in the "bidding" for half a day.
After the registration ends, all city hall officials will vote on the participating "bidders" regarding Phoenix's contribution.
The person with the most votes, the one who has made the greatest contribution to Phoenix, will get the right to contract with this starmoss oak tree species.
The reason why Gaode launched such a big battle is to let all the officials in the city hall know that as long as they do good things, they will definitely be rewarded.
After all, Phoenix is still an extremely backward "public ownership" so far.
Even if these city hall officials work hard, it is difficult to get any material reward.
They will definitely not care about this when everyone is still hungry.
But after the food problem has been solved, it is difficult to ensure that they can continue to work hard without material rewards.
Of course, Phoenix is developing rapidly, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Most people are still very motivated and will not fall into the trap of cheating.
But this alone is certainly not enough.
This time the bidding for magic tree species is an attempt by Gaode to mobilize the enthusiasm of all middle-level personnel in Phoenix's current political system.
As a mage, he possesses extraordinary power, and Gao De is very clear about it. For most people, the promotion of the position is far less attractive than the improvement of the mage level.
The driving force provided by the latter is also more sufficient.
In the Northern Territory, the thing that can make a mage's heart beat, apart from the ice marrow that can improve the bloodline level, is now the magic tree species.
Basically every ice mage who pursues something wants to contract a high-level magic tree species.
After all, this is related to the achievements that one can achieve in the "Aoki Immortality Sutra".
If the effect of this attempt is good, this form will continue like this.
Of course, the method should be changed. The voting system is still too subjective.
As soon as the news was announced, those who signed up to "bid" could be said to have crossed the threshold for the office.
Gaode, who got the list, glanced at it. Although there were many people, they were basically middle-level officials. Ministers from several departments and those at the lowest level had not signed up.
This is also expected.
The third-order magic tree species are inherently looked down upon by the higher-ups and out of reach of the grassroots.
The list was made public, and after another round of voting, the "winning bidder" was finally a deputy inspector in charge of Flora Fertile Farm of the Department of Agriculture.
As soon as this result came out, although most of the people who participated in the bidding were disappointed, there were none who were dissatisfied.
In terms of contribution, no department in Phoenix can compare to the Department of Agriculture!
In fact, before this, many people had guessed that the final winning bidder must be from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Even though the result is really finalized, a small group of people still have complaints in their hearts:
“Platform” determines everything.
· Officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have a natural advantage in the competition of contribution. How can they, officials of other departments, compete with them in this kind of bidding!
Gaud also saw the loss of these people.
There is really no good way to achieve absolute fairness at the moment.
As for the remaining low-level magic tree species, except for the second-level magic tree species that interested ice-born mages can choose by themselves, the first-level magic tree species and zero-level magic tree species can be planted directly, and there is no need to form a contract with the tribe.
Because after Flora developed the Permafrost Oak, magic tree species below the second level were not a rare thing. As long as you wait a little longer, you will be assigned a Permafrost Oak species sooner or later.
