Chapter 2750: Goodbye Hilda-Lana, The Grand Banquet Begins

There certainly must be; let alone growth, Xia Duo even suspects that the giant oak tree where Taiweimansa is located might have already awakened self-awareness, referencing the Treant Elder he previously embodied in the Projection Plane.

If the giant oak tree where Taiweimansa is located has truly awakened self-awareness, this fellow is very likely the strongest Spellcaster on the Surface.

However, the weakness of the strongest Spellcaster on the Surface is also very obvious: the main body is too large, mobility is poor, and if one really compares spell output capability, it may not necessarily surpass a Floating City.

No matter how powerful a Treant Elder is, it still belongs to the category of individual organisms and has individual limits, whereas a Floating City is a man-made object; as long as there are enough spare War Spell Core Artifacts, no matter how many Treant Elders come, it is all in vain.

Of course, it cannot be denied that a Treant Elder cooperating with the Elves living in the tree, when it comes to local defensive capabilities, absolutely does not lose to a Floating City.

Yet even so, Xia Duo had seen in a prophecy the scene of Taiweimansa experiencing a total war and falling into ruin, which gave him a further understanding of the cruelty of total war.

Right now, the giant oak tree where Taiweimansa is located, even if it has not awakened self-awareness, is definitely not a dead object; Xia Duo has an idea of how much it can grow in several hundred years!

Still referencing the Treant Elder Xilin he embodied in the Projection Plane, Xilin and this oak tree now should be from the same era, both planted during the Aryvandaar period.

There is a batch here in Yierlan, and there is also a batch over at Shaerwen.

Based on the growth speed of Xilin, Xia Duo calculated that the branch where the Netheril Embassy is currently located should have only been half as large back then, perhaps even smaller.

Elves are indeed adept at creating demiplanes, but it is not absolutely impossible; furthermore, who knows, the Great Xia Territory might even sell demiplanes to the outside in the future!

There was clearly an effort in diplomacy involved here; perhaps Taiweiman was unwilling to claim the credit of his predecessors as his own, or perhaps it was due to some other factor that he did not explain in detail.

If that were really the case, then this tree would be far too large.

Generally speaking, the more than one hundred giant trees within sight, even the shortest one, are taller and larger than Ruier.

But regardless, the height of its location does not affect the core status of "Saratotia" among the trees of Yierlansa.

There are too many places that can expand space.

"Then are there still Elves who are jealous of this place now?"

Of course, if one really wanted to do that, probably only Treants would be willing to invest; what normal person would be willing to hold onto a project that only sees returns in a few hundred years? Even with a sufficient lifespan, there are too many variables in a few hundred years, and the risk is too great.

"Of course there are still some now, but the relationship between Netheril and Fema'ai has already tended toward stability, and both sides have the intention to repair it. Although there are still many historical legacy issues that have not been resolved, it is not enough to let a few powerful figures seize the Netheril Embassy."

Of course, when it comes to height, this giant tree named "Saratotia" is also the tallest and thickest among the more than one hundred trees.

In fact, it is distributed across more than one hundred trees, but even so, each tree is enough to be called a behemoth, taller and larger than Ruier, whom Xia Duo embodied in the Projection Plane.

In other words, the location below the Netheril Embassy originally should not have been usable for construction; it was too narrow, and it took hundreds of years of growth to become what it is now.

Of course, no matter what kind of development Yierlansa has, it has little to do with Xia Duo; he is not yet so leisurely that he needs to rack his brains for the city development of others.

Although he was visiting the Netheril Embassy, Ambassador Taiweiman also introduced a lot about the situation in Yierlansa. Although this city is scattered across more than one hundred trees, it still has divisions of inner city, outer city, upper layer, and lower layer.

That is true!

Or perhaps, Fema'ai could also attempt to plant and catalyze more giant trees to connect with the current Yierlansa into one piece.

"Then there is still such a possibility in the future, right?"

Taiweiman's voice pulled Xia Duo's wandering thoughts back to the embassy side. Just now, Xia Duo thought that oak trees should have seeds, and he wondered if Fema'ai had tried to cultivate more giant trees.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo looked into the distance again. There are a total of more than one hundred giant oak trees on this ridge. Yierlansa is built on the trees, and not all of the city's facilities and buildings are on one tree.

"Lord Xia Duo, didn't you think of it?"

After all, the era Ruier lived in was more than two thousand years earlier than now; two thousand years is enough for those ancient giant trees to grow another large section and thicken another large circle.

Over these hundreds of years, if it weren't for the fact that other branches also grew, and if only the half occupied by Netheril had grown, Netheril might really not have been able to keep that half of the branch.

If one could obtain a tree seed, perhaps one could also plant such a giant tree in the Great Xia Territory; years later, it would count as a great wonder.

"Yes, that is exactly it. Of course, this also cannot do without the constraints of the contract. Now there are many Yierlansa powerful figures who are jealous of our core capital area!"

Thinking about it this way, engaging in real estate in Yierlansa is still quite promising; fence off a piece of land and put it there, and after a few hundred years, it will appreciate many times over.

Furthermore, it is not necessarily required to live on the branches; the space on the trees is three-dimensional. Using the branches as a skeleton, one can completely build more complex three-dimensional cities.

Xia Duo did not expect that Taiweiman had already foreseen the future situation of Yierlansa, but he did not quite agree with such a prediction. Although it is not easy for a tree city like Yierlansa to expand, one must know that this is a Magic world.

"There is such a possibility, but that doesn't matter. With the establishment of the Northland Alliance, exchanges between countries are becoming increasingly frequent. It can be foreseen that the future development speed of various countries will far exceed the past. A city like Yierlansa that expands slowly is destined to fail to keep up with the pace of future development. Who knows, maybe in the future Yierlansa will have to change its capital. By then, even if Netheril retains the current embassy area, what meaning would it have?"

Moreover, Xia Duo feels that there are some situations that Taiweiman might not have fully disclosed. If there were only contract constraints, the Seville Covenant even excluded Fema'ai! Could Yierlansa not modify the past contract reciprocally?

"Ambassador Taiweiman, I have thought of it. If I am not mistaken, it should be that the giant tree we are on has grown, causing the area that Netheril originally regarded as its territory to expand quite a bit."

It is just that the ridge where these giant trees grow is undulating, and although "Saratotia" is the tallest in its main body, it is not the one closest to the sky.

At the very least, before he truly leads the Northland Alliance, it is not very likely.

The tree where the Netheril Embassy is currently located has the Crown King's residence, the Covenant Altar, the Main Temple, and many other important places; it is undoubtedly the most core one among the more than one hundred trees.
