Chapter 2: The Great Druid

The next day, Killien summoned us and said that he would take us to the Druid Temple in the Elven Kingdom as instructed by the Elven King.

Seeing that we didn't quite understand, Killien explained to us that the Druid Temple was a sacred place for elves. There lived the spokesmen of the moon god, the great druids, who were the most beautiful and intelligent of the high elves chosen by the moon gods.

After giving us an introduction, Killien told us to go with him to the druid temple, saying that the Great Druid was going to summon us.

So, led by Killyon, we rode on elven horses to the Druid Temple. The group walked through the low woods, about ten miles or so on the rugged road, and finally saw a different kind of scenery unfold before them.

A wide river flowed down from the cliff like a jade belt, and this stream was like thousands of beasts fighting, roaring, and finally wrestling with each other and tumbling down, splashing all over the valley, and a mist rising.

At the bottom of the cliff is a small lake formed by the fall of a great river, and in the open field next to the lake, there is a temple, which looks a little old, but still cannot hide the majesty of the past.

Everyone arrived at the temple, and the roar of the waterfall was still rushing in their ears.

She was greeted by an elven woman dressed in blue, who looked very young, but her face was covered with a thin veil.

But even that veil could not hide her beauty. If she took off her veil, no amount of praise would be enough to match her beauty.

The elven woman told us that the Great Druid invited everyone into the interior of the temple. Inside the quaint temple, tall and solemn, a statue stood in front of the hall, a statue of a goddess holding a bright moon in her hand, and her face was also veiled.

The Grand Druid's name was Iosha, and he was almost equal to the Elven King Elovis.

"Iosha Grand Druid, these are the people from the Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment, and they are here for this mission. Killien said

"Come with me, everybody, I'll show you something. "Iosha Grand Druid's face didn't have much expression.

The group followed Iosha the Great Druid to a place behind the temple, which was guarded by guards and seemed to be very important.

The guards saw that the Great Druid had come in person, and respectfully let everyone in.

It turned out that there was a spring inside, about two or three demeters wide. Next to the spring grew a tall tree, which was a little bit tall, hundreds of demimeters high and tens of demimeters thick, and its leaves shone like the moon.

"This is the sacred tree of the moon, and the spring and the well next to it are the holy spring and the holy well, respectively, and the water drawn from this holy well is the holy water, and the sacred tree of the moon flourishes by the watering of the holy water. Iosha Grand Druid explained to everyone.

"The secret I discovered was conveyed to me by the moon god Chara through the mirror image in the holy well. What I saw in the Well that day was that the power of darkness was being revived, the Wings of Destruction were gathering the forces of darkness, and Dramel, the leader of the Dark Elves, had taken refuge in Wings of Destruction and had fallen into the Sorcerer Dramel. Soon, the forces of darkness will once again descend on the land of Hadilardo, and the flames of war will engulf and wipe out the races. "Iosha Grand Druid recounts to us what happened

"So, warriors. Find Dramel and destroy him while he is still full of wings. Killien explained from the side

Meanwhile, in a hidden nest in the dark forest**.

"Mina, is there any news from the elves?" said an elven man wearing a black cloak, a dark gold elven crown on his head, and a metal belt with a skull pattern tied around his waist, sitting on a ruined throne.

"Your Majesty Dramel, the elves have brought in some helpers. An elven woman with an extremely seductive appearance, extremely revealing dress, and long red hair like flames, replied.

"I just want to get the results I want, not to care about the process of doing things, and those pesky ants will be left to you to solve, and no one can disturb our plans. Sorcerer Dramel said with a blank face

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, the subordinates heard that those people were the members of the Demon Hunter Blade mercenary group that killed Marvila. ”

"Don't you understand what I mean? I only care about the result, not the process, and those who dare to stand in my way have only a dead end. Dramel grabbed Mina by the neck and said angrily

"Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty. Mina struggled desperately, but the difference in strength was far from the.

As soon as Dramel let go, Mina fell to the ground, nearly suffocating to death.

"Stand down, don't bother me. ”

"Larrick you're finally here, no, maybe I should call you Belgrave the Dragon, I want to see what you're capable of. Demmel snorted

Besides, on our side, we have invited the legendary ranger Meldas to join. The reason is simple, our goal is the same, and that is to kill the sorcerer Dramel. Led by the legendary ranger Merdas, our group embarked on a journey to find Drummel. Meldas, Frant, Kelvin, Avina, Mayfair, Nataya, and I, a group of seven.

After almost a day's journey, we reached the border of the gloomy forest.

The Gloomy Forest stretches endlessly, and according to Killyon, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous snakes in the Gloomy Forest, as well as magical beasts and unknown enemies. The trees here are spiritual, and they can be deadly, so be very careful when entering the forest.

We followed the creek into the forest, intending to find a suitable place to drop our bags and camp for the night. Frant and I set up our tent, which was covered with thick fur to keep out the cold. Frante put the blanket and other items into the tent and hung the weapon on the inner wall of the tent.

After the arrangement, Frant and I went to a nearby place with axes to cut down trees. Others are busy with their own business. I found some small trees and cut them down, they were hard and very tiring to cut down, but I was very energetic to cut them. I chopped a large bundle of firewood and carried them back to the camp. Avina beckoned us to eat some dry food, drink some water, and rest for a while.

We had to light the bonfire before it got dark, because at night the wild beasts of the mountains would come out to feed.

In the evening, we finally had everything in place at camp. Avina and Mayfair also picked some edible wild fruits. Everyone lights a bonfire, and it's time for Kelvin to show off his skills. You know, this guy is not only proficient in mechanical gunpowder, but also has no choice in cooking.

Kelvin used the ingredients he had brought with him and the hare that Meldas had brought back to make a steaming pot of hare soup with his skillful cooking.

Everyone sat around the campfire and tasted the aromatic hare soup.

"Luckily Kelvin was with us. "I was so impressed with the delicious hare soup that Kelvin made that everyone praised him, and Kelvin was a little embarrassed.

Soon after, everyone entered the tent and lay down in their sleeping bags. I was in charge of the first guard of the night, so I guarded the campfire to protect the group from attacks while they were asleep.

The next day, the sun in the woods poured down on the ground through the thick leaves, and the birds began to sing diligently. I stretched and got up, and everyone was up. I walked to the creek and washed my face, and by the way I got some water.
