Chapter 57: Forest Ritual!

The whole beef and mutton steak was taken out of the wagon by the accompanying team, and the smell of raw meat permeated the glade in the forest clearing.

The porters were the people who had been building the roads in the Howling Forest, after all, the ore that had been dug up had to be transported out of the way.

Donald had already greeted the people here before he came, and the altar was set up in a clearing on the outskirts of the Wailing Forest, which was somewhat strange, and it was probably common to pray before construction in religious districts, but most of the time here it was done in private, and it was rare to do it with such fanfare.

It's just that the people here don't dare to say anything, and it's better to do something than to be asked to work in the forest overnight.

Donald stood in the middle of the woodland, his palm pressed against the trunk of an ancient tree beside him, rubbing the rough bark lines, his spiritual will had long been connected to this forest, compared to the sluggishness and obscurity in Reynas, the Howling Forest gave him a completely different feeling.

Every grass and tree here, as long as he wants to, he can completely control it in an instant!

"Mr. Mayor, it's an honor to have your invitation, do you need any help from letting us come over?"

One of the capitalists in the city of Renas came to inquire, and behind him stood a number of people, including the officials in charge of the mining department of the Wailing Forest in the city of Renas, the heads of the three mining teams in the forest and the heads of the construction companies here.

They were all called by Donald on the impromptu basis yesterday, and naturally no one dared to refute the mayor's summons, so they followed them to the Howling Forest in a daze.

Now seeing the altar in the clearing, they are gathering together to wonder, and they really don't understand what Donald called them to do.

It took a long time to blame each other before they reluctantly sent a representative to probe the mayor's tone.

"I can't help it, I just want you to witness the completion of this sacrifice and the ore transportation road. ”

Donald didn't expect these people to do anything for him, and even more so the people he wanted to do couldn't help.

"Sacrifice, ore transport road completed...... Inauguration?"

As a capitalist, he can't do anything else, he still has some vision in engineering, he just went into the forest and looked all the way, although the road here has been built for a long time, but it is obviously still a lot away from completion.

It seems that these trees along the road have not been cleared, let alone a day or two, and it will definitely not be completed in half a month, but now the mayor has told him that the road here is going to be completed, which is really a bit of a nonsense.

Maybe the mayor doesn't understand construction and unrealistically wants to forcibly let the engineering team here forcibly complete it?

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, a capitalist is a capitalist, and in the end he just smiled, said that he knew, and then retreated in silence.

"He doesn't believe you, he thinks you're a megalomaniac who doesn't know anything about construction. ”

With a teasing smile on her face, Stephanie leaned over to Donald's side and whispered.

"Haha, that's normal, if I hear someone else say that to me, I think he's mentally ill. ”

Donald wasn't very angry at those people's belly slanders, and said with a smile,

"That's why I'm going to bring these people over, including the capitalists of Renas, the officials of the core government agencies, and the heads of this side...... When something that seems unthinkable to them is realized in front of them, these people will really agree with me and follow me with all their hearts, and frankly, I have to let them know that my will is right!"

"Mr. Mayor, the head of the mineral resources exploration team that wandered in the forest some time ago has arrived. ”

The two of them were chatting when someone came running from the woodland next to them to deliver a message.

"Heh, it's finally here, dare to make trouble on my territory, go, go meet them!"

Donald didn't just invite Renus's people, he also asked Huxley to let out the word in advance and wanted to talk to the teams.

Near the altar, Donald met with three leaders, two of the leaders of the expedition team and one of the mercenary leaders, who were responsible for the safety of the expedition team in the Weeping Forest.

Perhaps the people behind them were trying to get Donald in trouble, but the three of them were still quite respectful when they saw Donald approaching.

"The three of you have been busy lately, did you find anything in the Howling Forest?"

Donald didn't bother to be polite to them, and came up straight to mention what they had been doing lately.

"I have to say that your team is very professional, it seems that there are only a few mineral resources on the outskirts of the Howling Forest, and we just hope to pick up some of the remaining corners and explain to those gentlemen when we go back. ”

Obviously, these people had been told some things in advance before they came to the Howling Forest, and they knew that it was not good for Donald to look for them, so they put their posture very low when they met, and it was difficult for people to turn their faces against them.

After all, the Howling Forest is the property of the Lane Empire's government, not the land of Renas City, let alone the private property of Sewit Talos, as long as they obtain a permit, they naturally have the right to exploit it.

"Well, that's a good idea, but I have to warn you that the Weeping Forest is not safe, don't look at the outer part of the forest now, there are many strange beasts and other strange beings inside, you see, I am here today to pay tribute to the god of the forest who is in charge of this place, and I hope he will protect my team from harm. ”

Donald Xiang is not a person who likes to kill them a lot of times, and he is willing to give these people a choice.

"Mr. Taros, we've been exploring the Weeping Forest for three days, not to mention strange beasts, not even the more ferocious beasts, you say there are monsters...... I think there should be, but as long as we keep wandering around the periphery and don't go deeper, I think it's safe. ”

It is rumored that the Wailing Forest is very dangerous, and I don't know how many people have died in it in the past, and it is because of this that they specially hired a team of mercenaries to act as a guard, but they really did not encounter any danger in the past few days after they came in, even if they camped at night, no wild beasts appeared, so Donald's warning was unexpectedly ignored by them.

Of course, you still have to be in tune with it, and put on a look that you will definitely be cautious and very grateful for the reminder.

Is the outer edge of the Wailing Forest really safe?

That's because when Donald decided to mine the minerals, he ordered all the creatures here in advance not to harm the humans on the outskirts of the Howling Forest in the near future!

Otherwise, these guys would have been dragged by the tree people to make fertilizer!

The reminder also reminded that Donald doesn't want to care what these people do next, they don't want to go, so he can only "help" them!

The arrangement of the altar was quickly completed.

It wasn't very elaborate or grandiose, it could even be said to be quite rudimentary, just a two-story platform made of wooden blocks, and then a large number of pieces of meat were spread in front of it.

There's no way, I just thought of the method last night, where did I get the time to prepare, and this was supposed to be a formality, the real key is Donald.

He is the only protagonist of this performance.

Walking slowly to the middle of the woodland, there were already a number of people around as the order was given.

Donald looked around at the men, most of whom had doubts and disdain on their faces, and said in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, just last night I received instructions from a mysterious being, who told me that the Weeping Forest was about to be in trouble, and that if we did not perform any more sacrifices, the forest god would anger us, so I had the preparations begin overnight, in order to contain him before danger occurs. ”

The people around them still looked at Donald in bewilderment, and the latter's words obviously couldn't be believed.

The capitalists and government officials in the rear were even more embarrassed, believing that this was undoubtedly a farce, and they were even more embarrassed to participate in the farce.

Similarly, the three men who had been respectfully in front of Donald just now were looking at each other under a nearby tree, and some of them let out undisguised laughter.

In the next second, the wind rose!

At first, it was just a breeze in the woods, but in just a few seconds, it turned into a "whirring~" wind, blowing from all directions and crashing into everyone in the woodland!

Disdain turned to shock, embarrassment turned to solemnity, and those who made sneering were directly knocked out, and their faces turned a little pale.

"Great Forest God, I bring you the greetings of the Black-robed Sage, please accept my sincere offering, and allow my subordinates to walk on your territory!"

This set of rhetoric is what Donald thinks now, and it is a little dry, but no one cares what he says at this time.

Because at the moment when his voice sounded, the branches and bushes around him began to tremble wildly, and the branches and leaves that had been blown off by the wind suddenly began to condense into the center of the clearing, and after a while, several "people" composed entirely of branches and leaves appeared.

In the sound of gasping cold air.

Each of these men grabbed a piece of flesh more than a person tall and put it on his shoulder, and flew up into the forest in front of hundreds of people, and then flew deeper.

And this is far from the end.

After the branchy elves left, the entire woodland began to tremble, so one could hear the cracks in the dirt and the dull sound of some kind of massive being stomping on the ground.

They looked around blankly.

It wasn't until tall treemen in the forest swayed in the distance that they realized what had happened.

"Welcome and highest respect to you!"

Donald's voice was heard far away in the wind, and he bowed down to greet the huge tree man, who was about 10 meters tall.

So everyone who was watching before began to bow.

What none of them saw was the treeman's subconsciously bent legs as he bowed to Donald......
