Above the mage!

Chapter 290 Planting Trees
Walar Bay is a deep-water bay with a vast area. Even though Gaode had a sense of it when he saw its outline on the map, he still felt an indescribable shock when he actually saw it with his own eyes.

Although it is called a bay, in fact, in Gaode's view it is just a sea, with an endless coastline connected to the horizon.

The sea water is deep and dark blue, like a huge sapphire inlaid on the snow-covered permafrost, sparkling with charming light.

Protected by the land on both sides of the bay, the sea here is calm, like a mirror.

It was early morning, but the full moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone down unhindered.

The sea water reflects the full moon in the sky, making the water surface sparkling.

At the edge of the bay, you can still see scattered pieces of sea ice.

These sea ice come in different sizes and colors, ranging from crystal clear blue to deep and mysterious black.

"Most bays in the north are frozen for at least eight months a year, but Vallar Bay is an exception."

"Even during the frozen period when everything is silent, it still maintains its unique vitality. I don't know the specific reason, but in short, the water in Walar Bay is much warmer than the water in other places, and it gathers a large number of fish." Sunaifa introduced the details and unique features of Walar Bay to God.

"So, when the tribe is short of food, we will send people here to fish for emergency use."

Sunaifa didn't know the reason, but Gaode understood it as soon as he heard it:
What else could it be, but that Walar Bay sits on a warm current?
The ocean current that flows from low latitudes to high latitudes is called a warm current.

Although it is not known where this warm current comes from exactly, the abundant heat it carries, after crossing a vast sea area, converges in Walar Bay, significantly raising the water temperature in Walar Bay and forming a warm water layer under the water surface, effectively preventing the direct invasion of severe cold water on the sea water.

This is the so-called warm current effect, which should be the key to keeping Walar Bay free from ice.

"If we can really build a port here, it will be an ice-free port." Gode's eyes lit up and he was even more satisfied with Valar Bay.

But it doesn't matter whether he is satisfied or not. What matters is that Flora is satisfied.

"Let's go down and take a look." Gao De, who knew this, suggested.

The two followed the winding mountain road, completely left Mount Valar, and came to the vast coastline.

The sea breeze was so cold that it felt bone-chillingly cold across my cheeks.

The severe cold weather has left the mouth of the Walar Bay and the land on both sides barren of grass. There is no plant life at all, and it looks desolate and barren.

But Flora didn't care about that.

Even the lack of weeds was an advantage for Flora, otherwise it would require a lot of time and effort to clean them up.

What she cared about was the vast and flat land.

The land along the coastline is flat, as if it had been carefully polished by nature. There are not many hills and gullies, only a thick layer of snow covering it.

"Can all of these be used by Lady Flora to plant trees?" Her eyes sparkled, like a kitten seeing a cart full of dried fish, happy but not quite daring to believe it.

"Yes, as long as Lady Flora likes it, it all belongs to Lady Flora." God nodded affirmatively.

"Does Lady Flora like it?"

"like!"

"Then choose a suitable place here to plant Yugatshila?"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Gao De actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

His original purpose of entering the North was to plant trees. Who could have imagined that so many twists and turns would occur in the process? Fortunately, he got back on track in the end.

"Has Lady Flora chosen a suitable place?" Goder asked again.

"Right there!" Flora pointed into the distance.

That is the estuary, where the sea and land meet, and the apex of the entire bay.

Whether to the left, to the right, or to the back, there are large tracts of land that can be expanded, which is perfect for planting trees.

As an "expert" in the field of tree planting, there is no doubt that Flora has good vision.

"My king, let's wait until the large army led by Elder Gain arrives before planting trees." Sunaifa reminded softly.

She was extremely cautious and thoughtful about this matter.

When they left Phoenix, Sunaifah also ordered Elder Gain to bring a hundred elite Ice Mages to leave the city and come here.

Because Sunaifah knew how important Yugatshila was to God, and was afraid that something might happen to him.

Although she is very confident in her own fighting ability, she is only one person after all, and there will always be times when she cannot take care of everything. Therefore, she still needs a team of sufficient number of guards to protect Gaode in planting trees, only then can she feel at ease.

But Gaode was anxious to investigate the actual situation, so they went ahead and did not wait for the large force led by Elder Gain.

Now that we have decided to plant trees here, it would be safer to wait until the main force arrives before taking action.

Since the place had been found, there was no need to rush, so Gao De nodded in agreement.

After waiting for about half a day, human figures began to appear on the mountain path they were coming down.

It was the "tree protection team" of 100 people led by Elder Gain.

"My king, Mother of War!" Elder Gain brought his people to Gaode and Sunaifah and saluted respectfully.

Everything is ready, it's time to start planting trees.

Gao De took a deep breath and calmed his slightly excited mood.

Then he nodded to Flora.

Flora flapped her little wings and flew up from Gode's shoulder. A flat, dark brown, oval seed had appeared in the palm of her hand.

The edges of the seeds are not sharp and the surface is covered with a thin layer of seed coat.

It looks like an ordinary ash tree.

But Gaode knew it was not simple.

It is Flora's seed of life and the tree species of Yugathira, and he has fully felt Flora's extraordinaryness.

"Mage, you should first form a pact with Yugathira. Lady Flora has already made an agreement with it, and it will not reject you." Flora said to God with a rare serious expression.

Goder nodded slightly, took a step forward, and took the tree seeds from Flora.

Then, he took a deep breath and used the spiritual communication method attached to the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra.

Gao De slowly closed his eyes and devoted himself wholeheartedly to communicating with the tree species.

A mysterious and profound wave emanated from Gaode's body and then permeated into the tiny tree seeds.

This wave is like a trickle of water, gently seeping into every part of the tree and establishing an indescribable connection with it.

As a result, Gaode began to receive various subtle emotions deep in his heart.

That is the emotion expressed by the tree species.

There was welcome, intimacy, kindness, vigorous vitality, and the joy and anticipation of breaking out of the shell. These emotions came like a tide, infecting Gaode and causing Gaode's heart to begin to feel the same emotions.

Flora had already communicated with Yugatshira, and Yugatshira was the seed of Flora's life, so she was closely related to Flora. Flora was Gode's magical pet, so they also had a deep connection.

From this perspective, Gode and Yugathira are naturally close.

Therefore, the whole process of forming the contract went smoothly without any setbacks.

After just a moment, Gao De felt an indescribable deep connection between himself and the tree species. He could even feel its faint "breathing", as if the tree species and himself were one, and the life forces between them were constantly blending and resonating with each other.

Godard opened his eyes and nodded gently to Flora, "Okay."

He handed the tree seeds back to Flora.

Flora carefully held the tree seeds and flew lightly to the snow.

"Mage~"

Gode ​​responded immediately, used his magician's hand to dig through the thick snow, and then used clay molding to dig a suitable tree pit for Flora.

Flora placed the tree seeds carefully into the pit as if she was holding a treasure, and then gently buried it.

After doing all this, Flora stretched out her right index finger and drew a circle in the air.

As her fingers danced, a circle of green light formed and solidified with Flora's index finger as the center.

Flora flicked it gently again, and a circle of green light swam out, like a meteor with a long tail flame, and penetrated into the land where the tree was.

The next moment, with the Yugathixila tree species buried underground as the center, a circle of ripples shook, like ripples on the water, and suddenly spread in all directions, spreading towards the entire vast snowfield.

This circle of ripples expanded rapidly at a speed that cannot be described in words, and in an instant it affected every inch of land in the north, not only the western region, but even the central region and the absolutely forbidden eastern region.

But these ripples were too weak and too calm.

It is like a gentle spring breeze blowing across the earth, without any noise or publicity. It is underground and only spreads in the soil, so it does not attract the attention of too many things.

But weak does not mean useless.

Under this land that has been frozen for who knows how many years and seems to have been asleep, a vigorous life force is now beginning to gestate and grow.

"Wake up the sleeping earth!"

"Oh, North Wind!"

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”

Just because it didn't attract much attention doesn't mean it didn't cause any waves.

The North is the eastern region that is considered a forbidden zone for life.

Somewhere in a dark space underground.

A pair of eyes suddenly opened, and the dark blue pupils looked like two blue fireflies in the darkness underground.

"What is this feeling? Although it is faint, it makes me uncomfortable." An ethereal and cold voice that seemed not to belong to humans echoed in the underground space.

"It seems to be coming from the far west?" the voice murmured, "But it disappeared in a flash, and we can no longer trace its source. No, we have to send someone to check it out."

North, central region.

Inside a towering volcano.

The magma flows like red-hot molten metal.

The clang clang clang sound was endless, echoing inside the volcano all day long.

But at this moment, the sound of forging iron suddenly stopped for a few seconds.

"It seems that something extraordinary has appeared in the west." A moment later, an extremely powerful and deep voice sounded, spreading throughout the volcano and then spreading out of the volcano.

Varal Bay.

pat.

The tree seeds had clearly just been planted, but the next moment, the buried soil was pushed away.

A little green sprout pushed through the soil and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the state of the Ice Jade Wutong when it was advanced.

In a moment, the new sprout grew into a green sprout as big as a little finger.

The small bud has only three leaves, but all three leaves are blooming with colorful light.

What’s even more bizarre is that the stems, which are as thick as bean sprouts, are actually carved with intricate and tiny runes, which are filled with mystery and contain mysterious power.

Part of its roots have emerged from the soil, winding and coiling like a coiled dragon. Although small, it does not look immature at all, but rather has a vigorous look, as if what is in front of you is not a newborn green bud, but a thousand-year-old tree.

The other half of the roots go deep into the ground.

As his own sacred object, Gode could feel that the roots of Yugathixila had extended extremely deep underground, far beyond the part on the ground.

Although it is still just a small green bud, its root system is comparable to that of a century-old tree.

These roots are constantly drawing power from the ground, and at the same time, they are also releasing some special power.

The whole process is somewhat similar to the photosynthesis of plants, but what Yugathshila releases is not oxygen, but something more magical.

This kind of thing can not only change the geology of the land and transform it into fertile soil, but it can also fix the surrounding magic power in the land, turning it into a spiritual land.

And this change is already happening.

In a small circle of snow about the size of a pizza around the green leaves, the thick snow had melted away, revealing the black soil.

And this circle is still expanding.

Of course, now that Yugathixira is newborn and his abilities are not yet apparent, the circle is expanding very slowly and is almost invisible to the naked eye.

"One year, just one year, Yugatshila will grow into a sapling."

A year is neither short nor long.

Sometimes, haste makes waste, and patience is a virtue.

Since we had been waiting for Elder Gain for a long time, it was from early morning to early morning.

The sun in the distance had just risen from below the sea level, the sky was cloudless, and the morning glow painted the sea and the sky golden.

Gode ​​raised his head and shifted his gaze from the sapling of Yugathhira to the place where the sea and the sky met, his eyes full of brightness.

At this moment, as Yugathira sowed, all the repression and frustration that God had accumulated in his heart due to the unfair things he had experienced in the past few months: the death of his mentor, being forced into prison, being bound, and being threatened, all dissipated at this moment.

A sacred tree rose from the earth, and the sky became clear of dust.

A surge of heroic spirit suddenly surged in his heart, and the sky before his eyes was bright and cloudless.
