Chapter 1039 The Staff of Life
With the rewards sent out and the pensions for casualty soldiers quickly distributed, things in the New Taipei District have basically come to an end.
A month later, Locke, whom he had not seen for a long time, came to Zhou Xu with a staff that exuded faint life energy.
“This really makes me wait.”
Amidst the complaints, Zhou Xu looked at the staff in front of him, his face full of excitement.
Needless to say, this is the life staff made by the wood elves!
Speaking of staffs, many people’s inertial thinking should be that they are made from the trunks or branches of various trees, and are wooden items.
But the wood elf's life staff refreshed Zhou Xu's understanding of the staff.
This life staff is made from the roots of the life spirit tree. From the appearance point of view, it is more like a kind of braid. The slender roots are equivalent to cotton. The ropes were constantly intertwined with each other one by one, and finally intertwined into the shape of a staff.
Of course, this does not mean that after digging out the roots, weaving them directly is done.
Before that, it has to be processed in various ways and soaked in a special formula. Then during the weaving process, the mantra that echoes it needs to be chanted throughout to give it blessings before it can be successfully produced.
The soaking step requires a long period of time.
This is also one of the main reasons why he has already arranged to make the life staff, but has not come up with the results until now.
The roots of a hundred-year-old life spirit tree are white but slightly yellow after being washed.
But after it is soaked in a special formula, blessed with mantras, and woven, the entire texture will become like a fresh branch.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu eagerly took the life staff in his hand.
The moment he took hold of the Life Staff, he clearly felt a faint life energy emanating from it, nourishing his body.
At the same time, the intertwined roots on the top of the staff seemed to come alive. They actually grew two fresh and green leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Zhou Xu very excited. It feels incredible.
"Chief Locke, what is going on?"
"The Staff of Life is different from ordinary staffs. It is special. Your Majesty can regard it as a living plant, but It does not need watering or soil to take root, but is nourished by the life energy in the owner's body to maintain vitality. ”
Facing Zhou Xu's doubts, Locke quickly explained.
"To put it simply, the more abundant the life energy in the master's body, the stronger the life force of the life staff."
Speaking of this, Locke couldn't help but look at Zhou Xu strangely.
“However, His Majesty does not have any life energy in his body, but he can still achieve such an effect. I really didn’t expect this.”
In response to Locke’s doubts, Zhou Xu also spread his hands. He said that he himself was not particularly clear.
If I have to say it, it may be because of his own adaptability or his really strong compatibility, as if everything can fit with him.
During this period, Locke did not dwell on this unclear issue and quickly continued to explain around the life staff.
"As I just said, the Life Staff is equivalent to a living plant, so its owner can cultivate it with its own life energy."
Hear Zhou Xu was slightly startled by these words.
“You mean, it can still grow?”
"It's not that it can grow bigger and bigger, but that it can grow stronger and stronger."
Locke, realizing that Zhou Xu had gone astray, quickly added.
“For example, the roots of the life staff in your majesty’s hand come from a life tree that is one hundred years old. But if you use life energy to nourish it and cultivate it every day, it will be in the future. It is also comparable to a two-hundred-year-old or three-hundred-year-old life staff."
Locke's words made Zhou Xu's eyes light up.
【Growth equipment? This is good! 】However, before Zhou Xu Duole could be happy for a while, he heard Locke's conversation change slightly.
“However, the roots used to make the life staff have been cut from the main body after all. The cultivation efficiency in the state of the staff is far inferior to that of natural growth.”
At this point, Locke made a rough estimate.
“Take this hundred-year-level life staff as an example. If an extraordinary mage cultivates it for five hundred years, it may only be upgraded from a one-hundred-year level to a two-hundred-year level.”
< br>After all, the staff in Locke's hand, which is the symbol of the leader of the wood elves, is also the staff of life, and it is the staff of life that has been passed down from the old civilization. Things like this have happened to all the wood elf clan leaders in their history. Doing it.
This also makes Locke know a lot about this kind of operation.
For this time span...
It can’t be said that it pulled instantly.
After all, you must calculate the things of the elves according to their natural lifespan.
The natural lifespan of the elves is 1,600 years. A staff of life can be cultivated for 500 years and improved for 100 years. This seems to be possible for the elves.
Of course, it is impossible for the elves to start cultivating staffs as soon as they are born. From what Locke said just now, it is not difficult to hear that the efficiency of staff cultivation should also be related to the strength of the mage himself.
Think about it, can a transcendent realm mage and a saint realm mage use the same energy to cultivate the staff every day?
As for those ordinary mages, there is no comparison.
If the time is extended to thousands of years, this project of cultivating staffs can also form an effective strategic reserve within the elves.
In Zhou Xu’s opinion, it was too slow.
Judging from this efficiency, if he wants a high-quality staff with a high age, the best way is to continue to maintain those life spirit trees.
But the problem is, you can't wait until the enemies appear before cutting the tree roots and weaving the staff, right?
According to the production efficiency of the life staff, by the time you make the staff, the battle may be over.
In this way, it is still necessary to make the staff in advance.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Xu thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.
"Then, let's first make a batch of staffs from a hundred-year-old life spirit tree and give them to all the mages of the Wood Elf Mage Group."
Zhou Xu's current thinking is based on older years. Continue to keep it, and use equipment of a lower vintage first.
In fact, despite the large number of hundred-year-old life spirit trees on Qingshui Mountain, since the main material for making the life staff is tree roots, the number of raw materials is not as high as theirs. I thought it was so generous at first.
To solve this problem, we still have to put more effort into cultivating the Life Spirit Tree.
This has been done a few years ago.
In the past, the growth of the Life Spirit Tree relied entirely on natural spread. After artificial intervention, the number of Life Spirit Trees also increased year by year.
After that, as long as these life spirit trees grow to a hundred years, the basic requirements for making a life staff will be met.
In the past, Zhou Xu didn’t have to think about it for a hundred years.
But things are different now.
Don’t forget, he is an extraordinary being now. Even if his natural lifespan is not on par with the elves, it can still last for hundreds of years. He can afford to wait now!
