Bab 486: 486 Dignitary Dinner

Navigating the tourists was getting easier every time Max did it, and soon he found himself in front of a crepe stand that had been set up near the base of the world tree in the nose of the Cruise Ship.

The root system of a World Tree was like nothing Max had ever seen before. It was a semi-sentient living being that lived almost entirely off of photosynthesis and water, but it adapted its roots to attract other species, who would drop foodstuffs for it to absorb for additional nutrients.

That meant that the walkways were all wooden. There were benches, flower gardens, artificial rivers, and much more that the tree thought would be attractive to the species on board.

They didn't stop at one level, either. The three levels below the base of the tree were all engulfed in the roots to a distance half again, as large as the crown that filled the hollow vertical void of the atrium that had been turned into a terrarium.
