Chapter 611 The Reactor: My Elf Wants to Buy It!
Another seventh-tier elven elder's voice trembled as he said:
"I don't believe it. Lord Lin Mo, please don't joke around. Energy crystals are already the most energy-rich things. How could there be more than that?"
The orcs also stared with eyes as big as copper bells.
Although their understanding of the World Tree is not as deep as that of the elves, as one of the major races on the continent of Terra, they still have some knowledge of it.
Thorin scratched his beard, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly.
When he visited Daxia, he didn't think about all of this.
It seems I was careless after all!
He turned to look at his fellow dwarves beside him and muttered something in dwarven language in a low voice.
"Just how many more wondrous things are these Great Xia people hiding?"
When Lin Mo heard someone say "impossible," he didn't offer any further explanation.
He simply raised his hand and pointed to the World Tree that had fallen on the ice field behind him.
"The results are right in front of you."
"How long ago were the World Tree seeds sold to us?"
How big is it now?
The crowd was speechless.
Yes.
The World Tree seeds were sold to Great Xia in less than six months.
Even though this tree has broken and collapsed, its two-thousand-meter-long trunk, lying across the ice field, still looks as massive as a mountain range.
This is irrefutable evidence; no further explanation is needed.
Elder Ed's breathing became rapid.
He lived for over two thousand years.
The effort and resources the Elven race devoted to cultivating the World Tree spanned almost the entirety of their history.
And now, there is something that can reduce that cost... to negligible levels.
"this...."
He stepped forward, looking at Lin Mo with eager eyes.
"We elves want to buy it!"
"What's the price?"
Fendona, standing to the side, also looked on with anticipation.
If we had this wonderful thing, the Elven race would soon be able to return to its former glory.
The only thing that can limit the expansion of a population is reproduction.
But it's okay, having difficulty getting pregnant doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Just keep groaning more every day.
I believe that her city of Lostia will soon become lively.
Lin Mo was taken aback by his question, and gave a dry laugh:
"Elder Ed, I'm not entirely sure about the exact price either. We can discuss this later."
Before he could finish speaking, the seventh-ranked member of the Holy Human Race spoke up.
"Holy Son".
Lin Mo turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue.
The other person looked into Lin Mo's eyes and said:
"If we, the Holy Humans... use your nuclear reactors."
"Could we also plant the World Tree?"
The ice field fell silent once more.
All eyes turned to Lin Mo.
The elven elders exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.
The World Tree has always been the exclusive property of the Elven race.
For two thousand years, no other race has been able to cultivate it successfully.
But what if nuclear reactors could really bypass the hurdle of energy crystal veins...?
Then this monopoly would no longer exist.
Lin Mo glanced at the other party, then turned to look at the orcs and dwarves whose faces showed anticipation, and nodded.
"Theoretically, that's correct."
"As long as there are enough nuclear reactors to provide energy, there is no need to rely on energy crystal veins."
"Any race, any place, can plant the World Tree, just like our Great Xia."
This statement is like a pebble thrown into a deep pool.
The powerful warriors of various races in Terra exchanged glances with their fellow warriors.
The three seventh-tier elemental walkers of the Holy Human Race exchanged a meaningful glance.
Even the three seventh-tier dragons showed interest.
Their lifespan is extremely long, and the only companion they have is the World Tree.
Unfortunately, the World Tree is difficult to maintain. Even with mineral veins, it cannot be kept alive for long without the maintenance by earth-type spirits every hundred years.
The underground energy crystal veins will slowly deplete over time, requiring Earth-type Pokémon to relocate them.
Just like a battery, it needs to be replaced.
The replaced batteries will require time to be restored by relying on the mineral vein.
Even the wealthiest dragons couldn't afford to feed them energy crystals.
At this moment, everyone's eyes began to dream of what it would be like if our race could also possess a World Tree...
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a deep, resonant voice came from above.
It is the largest of the three seventh-tier dragons.
Its entire body was covered in dark gold scales, and the remnants of the World Tree lying across the ice plains were reflected in its vertical pupils.
"You only see the fruit and the protection."
Everyone looked up.
The dragon slowly lowered its head, its enormous pupils looking at the crowd, its tone carrying the weight only a creature that had lived for thousands of years possessed.
"The true value of the World Tree lies not in the fact that its fruit can make people stronger or double their lifespan."
"It's not about whether it can become a haven for living beings."
"The point is... it generates magical elements."
The cold wind howled across the icy plain, ruffling the slightly thin clothes worn by the group.
However, due to their strong individual strength, this temperature difference is not significant.
At this moment, Lin Mo was more concerned about the information released by the dragon.
What does it mean that the World Tree can generate magical elements?
The dragon's voice, like rolling thunder, continued:
"The very existence of the World Tree is a continuous source of magical elements that it releases into its surroundings."
"The concentration of magical elements around it far exceeds that of any other area."
"His speed of cultivating magic is at least several times faster than usual."
The powerful figures of the various races in Terra did not react much.
For them, this is common sense.
But Lin Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"etc--"
He strode forward and looked up at the dragon.
"Your Excellency, are you saying that magical elements... originated from the World Tree?"
The dragon nodded.
"Not entirely, but the World Tree is the most powerful known source of magical elements."
Lin Mo was startled.
His brain was working at lightning speed.
Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis.
The World Tree not only produces oxygen, but also magical elements!
"It makes perfect sense..." he murmured.
The next second, he clapped his hands suddenly!
"The magical talents of the various races on the continent of Terra..."
He turned around, and his speech suddenly quickened.
"Could it also be related to the magical elements generated by the World Tree?!"
"Just as all life on our planet Earth depends on oxygen, do the extraordinary abilities of your various races also depend on magical elements?"
Many people present frowned slightly.
Before they could answer, Lin Mo paced back and forth on the ice for a couple of steps, then suddenly turned and pointed at the elven elders.
"Let's take it one step further!"
"The magical affinity of elves is innate; everyone knows that."
"But is it possible that the reason is precisely because the elves have lived around the World Tree for generations?"
"From the moment of their birth, they were immersed in the most concentrated magical elements, and through the cumulative changes over time, they became who they are today?"
