The entire Cecil Empire has been shrouded in winter. The cold wind has swept from the mountains in the north across the plains in the central and wilderness in the south, from Winter Fort to Cecil, from Shilin City to Changfeng Fortress, the breath of winter is everywhere, and half of the empire has ushered in at least one snowfall.

But in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, where the giant Thorin trees stand, the spring and vitality are still lush.

The huge Thorin tree stands tall on the ground, and the canopy that can cover the entire town has spread across the central axis of Thorinburg and the canyons further west.

After recent growth, this amazing plant has reached its largest scale at this moment. Her roots and canopy no longer spread wildly, but her branches and leaves are still maturing, and her roots are still piercing deep into the earth.

Within the coverage of the giant trees, the once-destroyed Solin Castle has been repaired and rebuilt. Some of the functions of the castle and town have been restored and have now become the stronghold of local garrisons and research teams. Some of the roots of the giant trees have grown from the cracks in the collapsed walls of Solin Castle, helping people fix the crumbling stone walls. Several research facilities are built on the old walls and the winding roots.

In this wonderful place, researchers of the Cecil Empire and a huge plant seemed to have reached a wonderful symbiotic relationship. The Thorin tree not only provides valuable research samples for the Druid Institute here, but also cooperates with local production and construction.

In the trunk layer, in the southeast fan-shaped area, a large transport truck was parked in the open space next to the trunk. A group of magic technicians and workers were busy beside the carriage, opening the baffles on both sides of the carriage, unbuttoning the ropes and hooks used to fix the cargo pallets. A commander stood on an aerial root that burst out of the ground and directed the work.

Around the unloading area, there are large open spaces that have been initially flat, compacted and sorted.

Some temporary houses are distributed everywhere, and magic crystal street lights are neatly arranged along simple roads, dispelling the darkness in the canopy coverage area. The existence of things such as signs and building materials stacks shows that there are still a large number of follow-up construction plans here, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The production and construction corps responsible for this area divided the area covered by the giant tree of the Thorin. In the vertical space, Knight Margarita divided the giant tree of the Thorin into the root layer (the location of the underground palace), the trunk layer, the canopy layer, and the top layer of the tree. On the plane, she divided the circular land covered by the canopy of the giant tree into four sector areas.

At present, the staff and garrisons here are basically active in the fan-shaped area on the surface, and the exploration work is maintained at the root layer. A small number of Druid Research Institute teams are focusing on the trunk layer and the canopy layer. They set up two small observation and sampling stations on the trunk of giant trees, and also set up a "druid hut" in the canopy. However, overall, the research work in these areas is still in its infancy, and the local research team has not yet explored the top of the Thorin giant tree.

If you want to give something to the treetops, you still need the cooperation of the Solin Giant Tree "self".

The workers opened the side panels of the vehicle and untied the ropes to fix the tarpaulin. After unzipping the tarpaulin, a huge magic device was exposed inside.

The alloy base several meters wide has a complex structure of locking, support and suspension devices, and a diamond-shaped metal frame several meters high. The surface of the frame is inlaid with a large number of Hom crystals emitting glimmer.

This is a huge magical obelisk. Its crystal structure is too large and therefore it is spliced ​​by a large number of small crystals.

"Everyone be careful! This thing is a life-than-death thing!" The commander stood on the roots that were bulging out of the ground and shouted loudly, "Be careful when you release the hook and don't have any unlucky guys pinched their fingers off! Alchemy potions were not poured from the Gorgon River!"

The workers responded to the commander's instructions, and the magic technician climbed onto the car after putting down the side panels, checking the status of the important rune substrates, and checking whether the crystal is intact.

The commander turned his head and shouted in the direction of the Thorin Giant Tree: "Ms. Belltila are you here?"

As soon as the commander finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the surroundings, followed by vines wrapped around flowers and brown roots that emerged from the nearby ground. These vines and roots twisted and merged into the appearance of Bell Tira: "I've been there all the time."

"Madam, Ri'an," the commander smiled and greeted the incredible "tree spirit" in front of him. Although he heard that the other party was once a priest of the All Things Death Society, and even this entire Solin giant tree was the result of the common variation of the power of all the remaining believers of the All Things Death Society, he had been working here for a while and had a lot of dealings with this "tree spirit". At this moment, he was able to communicate with the other party calmly, "The weather is good today."

Some things have passed and this land is still alive. This is the most important young commander thinking so.

"Yes, the weather is good," said Belltila slowly, she raised her head slightly, and there was a faint rustling sound from the canopy of the Thorin tree. The sunlight did not shine on her face, but shining on her canopy, which made her squint her eyes. "Today's sunlight is very suitable for...photosynthesis."

"The magical obelisk I've told you before," the commander raised his hand and pointed at the big cart not far away, "has been transported from the Pompeii factory in the south."

"Oh, it's really bigger than usual..." Belltila didn't turn her head, but had already "see" the thing in the car, "Do you need me to send it?"

"Yes," said the commander, "just send it up and then assemble it together according to the drawings you gave you before. The equipment has been debugged and can be activated remotely."

Belltila nodded, and a clamor came from the canopy of the giant Thorin tree.

The magic technicians and workers near the cart had already retreated. People stood around in the distance, watching several particularly thick vines extending from the bottom of the canopy hundreds of meters high, drilling out layers of branches and leaves, drooping all the way to the huge magical obelisk, carefully rolling up the parts and lifting them upwards.

The specially made large magical obelisk seemed to have no weight in the vines' hands, and was easily pulled towards the canopy. The densely stacked leaves retreated to the sides, revealing a "road" that went straight to the top of the tree.

Beside the commander, Bell Tira slowly raised his hand and made a move to put things on his head. After a moment of stunnedness, he put his hand down.

She looked around and found that no one noticed her actions.

The commander kept looking up at the scene where the vines brought the magical obelisk to the canopy, and did not retract his gaze until the huge magic devices disappeared into the dense leaves. He looked at Belltila beside him with a smile on his face: "It is the largest magical obelisk in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, with the latest signal amplification and broadcast array. Now it is equipped with the highest 'support tower' in the plain area, which will definitely perform the best performance. From now on, the magical network hub here is the magical network hub of the East Holy Spirit Plain. The magical network nodes on half of the plain will be connected, and we are one step closer to connecting the magical networks across the country. Thank you very much for your help."

Belltila looked at the young commander with a smile on her face. Although she was an expert in biochemical technology, she only had a slight understanding of magic technology. She was inevitably curious at this moment: "This is a very useful thing, is it?"

"Of course," the young commander said immediately, "The magic net not only provides energy for magic devices, it can also be used to transmit signals and maintain regional shields. Now, magic nets of all sizes are being established everywhere in the empire, but the magic nets of various regions are not fully connected. Many places can only rely on a series of single-line broadcast stations to make connections. It is not a real "net". His Majesty wants to connect all the magic nets of the entire empire. Just like the Nanjing General Network, the nodes of the Holy Spirit Plain are the key links connecting the magic nets of the empire in various parts..."

Belltila listened quietly to the scene described by the young commander. On the face of the young man, she saw heartfelt pride and joy.

Not far away, the magic technicians were waiting next to the magic net terminal and the small magic crystal, monitoring the magic octave that was being sent to the tree crown. In those magic technicians, she saw full dedication and enthusiasm.

And she could imagine that in places she could not see, there were also countless proud, joyful, devoted, and enthusiastic people.

They are changing the world, although many of them may not realize this, and this feat of changing the world is accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by countless ordinary people.

There is no need for miracles, no transcendent power, no need for any artificial god to rule the world.

This is another path she and her former compatriots have never imagined.

Belltila carefully controlled her vines and canopy, and like holding some fragile treasure, she sent the huge and complex device to the highest point of the Thorin tree. She combined the parts together according to the drawings she had seen, and then carefully pushed them over her head.

Inside the tree canopy are thousands of magic net rune substrates that were sent one after another a few days ago. They are pulled and combined by countless tiny vines. At this moment, the connection with the magic power obelisk is the last link of the entire project.

"Put it on," she said.

The magic technicians not far away received a signal of activation of the base of the Magic Obelisk. They quickly issued remote commands. Above the magic network terminal used for monitoring, the dim lines presented in the holographic projection were illuminated one by one, and nodes were quickly activated.

Belltila was paying attention to all this curiously. She saw words appearing in the projections. She saw the greetings sent from afar and miraculously transmitted to her eyes through the hands of mortals.

"I received a signal from the Solin Hub to say hello to you."

"I received a signal from the Solin Hub Red Maple Reconstruction Camp to say hello to you."

"…Pompeii said hello to you..."

"This is Cecil's central station. Congratulations to you, Rebecca Cecil said hello to you."

People cheered.

Even the young commander, who was born as an officer and wearing a knight badge, cheered.

Belltila blinked, and on this brilliant sunny day suitable for photosynthesis, she felt that her heart, which had merged with the plants, was beating again.

"Congratulations." She tried to make herself smile like a human, and said to the young commander beside her.

The young commander expressed his gratitude again, then ran to the workers, technicians and soldiers in the distance to celebrate with everyone.

Belltila stood quietly in place for a while before looking to the south with some emotion.

A guest is here.

...

A magic car with the flag of the United Reconstruction Corps came to the Solin area. The car seemed to bring a big man named Belltila who could see everything happening around the Solin giant tree. She saw many people running out of the stronghold in Solin Castle to greet the car, and saw an old man with an old face coming out of the car. He saw several entourages and guards around the old man, and he might be just simple subordinates.

Finally, she saw the old man coming to the near her tree trunk.

Norris looked up at the canopy that covered the sky, looked up at the countless branches illuminated by the magic crystal lights and the support columns that drooped from the canopy, as well as the flower vines coiled around the trunks and support columns, and couldn't help but whisper: "This is the Thorin giant tree..."

"What a miracle..." A young agricultural technology official also raised his head and sighed, "I have never seen any plant grow so big..."

"And she kept the whole area alive and even kept the temperature relatively comfortable," Norris said. "Do you still remember the road? Until the intersection, there was still snow on the ground."

"I just transferred some heat from the depths of the strata to the surface," accompanied by a slightly hoarse female voice, Belltila's figure emerged from a ball of flower vines and roots. She moved on the ground near the trunk with her wriggling roots and came to Norris, "Hello, I am the plant in front of you, and you can also call me Belltila."

"Hello, Ms. Belltila," Norris looked at the woman in front of him and put away his surprise for a moment, "I am Norris."

"I seem to have heard of this name..." Belltila frowned and showed a memory expression.

"He is the Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture." Someone next to him reminded.

"Ah, yes, that's it, I remembered it," Belltila looked like a sudden look, "and I have indeed heard of this name... in newspapers and radio."
