Standing at the entrance of the military camp, Heine looked back down the road that led to the Lord's Mansion.
Every twenty meters along the roadside, there was a peculiar-looking tree... person.
It was about one and a half meters tall, with the shape of a standard bucket, the form taken by the small treants summoned by Linumu after they had taken root.
What surprised him was not the treants, but the street lamp they were holding in their arms.
A three-meter-tall wooden stake was fixed in the arms of the treants, with a small scroll cage at its top.
Inside was a fist-sized stone, emitting a faint glow.
In Heine's perception, the spirits around it were particularly active.
If he remembered correctly, this was the effect of an energy-emitting lamp, and it was one of the most basic zero-core components in rune studies.
That is, there were no additional processing steps between the input and output.
