Chapter 42 The Tree of Life(1/4)

"The Tree of Life is the greatest gift given to us by God. It is through it that we can continue to reproduce and prosper and continue the future of mankind."

As Kalista spoke, her hands were turning, slid her wheelchair forward.

In front of Robin, the faint white spot of light gradually approached the dark hole.

To be precise, it is the heart of the tree.

The tree of life is very big.

It is big enough to cover the sky.

In the territory of the Kingdom of Itnair, there are many different trees of life, but the tree roots and canopy cover almost more than one kilometer, and the only tree's main tree of life in Haoyue City.

These days, Robin has gained a better understanding of the Tree of Life.

The reason why the tree of life in Haoyue City is called the [main tree] is because the trees transferred and planted elsewhere are transplanted from it.

And the most amazing thing is that if the main tree grows poorly, the subtrees will quickly wither and wither.

In other words, even if you are far away from the mother, you will still be affected by the mother's body.

This is the first time Robin has seen such a plant.

There are only five main trees left in the Western Land, one in each of the three kingdoms, one in the ice giant in the north, and one in the wind-winged man in the west.

There are two Holy Blood Empire in Donglu.

If the Lord Tree is separated from the care of the God's messenger or the chosen one, it will gradually lose its vitality and wither.

The main tree of Lopez was once in a crisis of the withering of the main tree because of the lack of God's envoy and the chosen one.

Fortunately, Yitnair's envoy provided assistance to him, which is the very famous [Sila Co-governance Plan] in history.

Shira was the envoy of Ittenel at that time and was also the predecessor of Carista.

Robin calculated with his fingers that this incident has only happened for a hundred or decades.

...

The probability of survival of subtrees is very low.

Therefore, every local priest needs to have certain natural abilities to take care of the subtree of life.

After the sub-tree is alive, it will bear the fruit of life like the main tree.

This is also the reason why Yitnell's population snowball can grow bigger and bigger.

Of course, this is not all snowballing.

Whether the population can grow depends entirely on how many fruits the tree of life can produce in that year.

After an upper limit is reached, this value will not grow again.

For example, the tree of life can bear two seasons of fruits throughout the country every year, and the annual fruit yield is 4 million.

Then during this year, the Gods and the State Authority will distribute fruits to different lord territories according to the Haoyue Code.

For the sake of national livelihood, at least 20% of the fruit will be stored in the national treasury according to a certain storage ratio.

There are two keys of authority in this fruit warehouse, one in the king and the other in the God's envoy.

Only when the crisis comes, the two work together can they open the door to the treasure house and take out the fruits.

This is also in line with the status and rights of both.

The temple is not a tool of free dedication, and the country is not a violent institution that blindly seeks.

Everything must be in accordance with the national conditions.

The so-called national conditions may be natural disasters—

For example, earthquakes, floods, plagues, and famines, resulting in large-scale population declines.

It may be a man-

For example, war, fight, suicide...the population decreases.

In this case, the envoys of the Gods and the king will open the fruit warehouse to provide certain population subsidies according to the losses calculated by various places.

So, 2.6 million, this part must be thrown away again.

Add to transportation issues, squeeze...

The number of fruits of 2.6 million will be about 2.2 million in the end, which is actually used during the golden period.

However, the number of new populations calculated every year is only about 1.8 million, and this number is gradually decreasing.

This made Robin think of what Rosalind and Carlista said before about buying and selling fruits.

These data have three different sources of information—

Statistics of the fruit of life of the God Society.

Speaking of which, Robin has to thank Carista. She said that delegating power would really delegate power. Robin could go to any department in the temple and use his chosen person to query what he wanted to query.

As for whether these things are real or not, that is another matter.

At least this Supreme Emperor put his attitude here, and she expressed her great trust in Robin and was also cultivating him in the way of future heirs.

Another account comes from the competent department of the fruit of life in the country, which can be called the sacred life department. It is referred to as the sacred life department for short.

It is very difficult to check this account, and it is also the supreme secret of the kingdom, and it is not something Robin can get.

He can only piece together information from relevant lower-level personnel and lower-level personnel in other ways.

And the person who did this for him was Kay.

This guy always has his own trick. Robin suspected that the ten days after she arrived in Haoyue City, she had already been familiar with some stinky street mice hiding in the dark.

Kay has visited bars and enjoyment places a lot.

For this reason, she also took a huge sum of gold coins from Robin.

This gold coin was urgently used by Carista in advance.

Although the God Envoy felt that their identity was not very useful, it is not a bad thing to have a few copper coins on them.

Kay brought him some data, very scattered parts, but some situations can be compared.

If there is only one data difference in the two books, this is a big problem.

Then, in order to eliminate the situation where the Gods and political groups are doing fake together, Robin entrusts Kay to investigate the third channel-

The lower class people.

In fact, it is equivalent to doing statistics and sampling surveys.

The Haoyue Law has very clear regulations on the distribution of fruits that everyone enjoys.

Once this is done, the underlying data obtained will converge from the other end.

Robin will get a roughly accurate situation from these three data.

However, this process really made things difficult for Kay. Robin didn't know how much money she spent outside. It was very likely that this guy had already pulled up a gangster in Haoyue City.

This made Robin a little uneasy, but the Secred man patted his chest and said that there was absolutely no problem and would not be discovered by the God Hui and Yue Tong.

But, even if you suspect, Robin is only Kay who can use it now.

From the demand, Kay couldn't handle so much work alone. Robin had already made up his mind to recruit more people.

The premise is that these people are reliable enough.

...

Robin shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

He walked forward and followed closely behind Carista, and then the two walked into the dark heart of the tree.

To be precise, the tree heart is not dark.

Inside this main tree that is as spacious as a mountain, the walls on both sides are covered with white light crystal lamps.

It’s just that the sunlight is isolated outside the tree, and when it’s far away, it looks extremely dark inside.

The main tree of life is a typical woody plant.

The roots and stems are abnormally developed, gradually thickening and enlarging, forming the xylem of the tree, and the cell walls are mostly lignified, layer after layer, superimposing outward.

This also makes the main tree of life have a stiffer shell.

According to Robin's observation, the main tree of life he saw in front of him was at least as thick as a few hundred meters, which was equivalent to a natural city wall.

However, to some extent, the xylem made of cell walls is stronger than the city wall.

Its toughness and hard shell are simply the overlord of plants.

The entire temple was built on the main tree of life. Behind the temple, there was a stone staircase that was dug downwards to the heart of the tree.

The tree heart will not die if it is hollowed out.

Because the nutritional delivery hub of the tree is not here, the phloem outside, that is, the soft tissue located on the lower layer of the xylem, is the main part that truly provides nutrition to the tree of life and maintains the life cycle.

Therefore, as the saying goes, people need shame, trees need bark.
