Chapter 440: Into the Rat's Nest

On the coast, in front of the Cowell Temple of Nature.

The captain of the guard, Nash, did not deceive Levi and them, and there was indeed a special ritual going on here at this time.

An inauguration of a druid.

In normal times, according to the ancient tradition, the employment of the druids required the people to go out on their own adventures, to become familiar with the knowledge and power of animals and plants, and to appreciate the gifts and ruthlessness of nature. Gain the power to manipulate nature.

Druids can wield things like angry storms, gentle powers of rising sun, nimble foxes, mighty bears, and more.

But the druids did not boast like the city-states and thought they were the masters of nature, but on the contrary, they received the power of nature by merging with nature.

It's just that on Lunaris Island, the awakening of their druid profession is still a bit primitive.

Unlike on the mainland, many druids believe in the gods of nature, namely Sivannas, the father of oak, Edas, the goddess of water and peace, Mekelly, the goddess of forests and rangers, or Theonlia, the goddess of sprouts, in order to gain the ability to communicate with nature and be endowed with corresponding divine powers.

The people of the Moonshadow Island only believe in the Mother Earth goddess Zendia, or the oldest way of nature in Zentia.

Sometimes they find animal and plant spirits whose bodies are dead but whose souls are still wandering, and through a meditation called natural communication, druids can communicate with these animal and plant spirits and thus gain access to the corresponding natural powers.

It's a shortcut, but the people of the Flores see it as a gift from nature, and they will give back to nature through their actions.

It's just that this kind of way is not available after all, so the number of druids of the Fren people has been growing slowly.

It's more about honing your martial arts skills to become a strong warrior before seeking opportunities to become a druid.

A sturdy body is more conducive to them shuttling through dangerous jungles.

If this is normal, there is no problem.

However, the invasion from Luskan suddenly put the Fur people in an unprecedented predicament.

Whether it's Luskan's sturdy cannons, their tough armor, their sharp weapons, or their magical crossbow arrows, which are far more powerful than their Ranger bows, the people of Lunaris have suffered enough.

At the same time, it is also realized that simply gathering warriors and rangers to form an army will not be effective in stopping Luskan's invasion.

They... More druids are needed.

They need the power of nature and magic.

So some elders and priests set their eyes on the temple of nature, and fell on the statues of those ancestors.

Most of the Fur people who have been gifted by nature will choose to return to the Temple of Nature as an old guard before their life is near.

When they die, the animal spirits that accompany them are separated and guided by the elders to the newly erected statues and enshrined in them.

And every time the Vonfer people suffer, a group of young warriors will be selectively allowed to inherit these animal spirits, so that they can quickly become a druid.

Only this time, since the fall of the Iron Castle, the situation has been unexpected.

With a terrible wolf howl, a Fu warrior who was sitting in front of the stone statue of the ancestor suddenly rushed towards the clansman next to him like crazy, his mouth open to the limit, and he was about to bite his companion's neck.

Burst.

Suddenly, a few vines burst out of the cracks in the mottled stone slabs, binding the warrior who had suddenly gone berserk, and then twisted into a puddle of bloody hula-sprinkled flesh.

Then a pure flame like moonlight burned the pile of flesh and blood in the form of a human and the wolf spirit that was still roaring, as if it had never appeared.

The priestess who raised the oak staff on the high platform had a sad look in her eyes:

"Sixteenth, is it the Mother Earth God... Have you abandoned us Frans?"

According to the word-of-mouth warnings of the elders, once such signs occur, they must be purified together with the abnormal 'ancestral spirit' as soon as possible, otherwise unimaginable disasters will occur.

These young men were originally the most outstanding warriors in their Cowell, and each of them may have come from the pride of a certain tribe.

But they have not died on the battlefield, but they will die first by their own people, at her hands.

This contrast made the chief priestess's face even more vicissitudes.

"Elder?"

A younger female druid beside him looked unbearable.

"Go on. ”

The chief priestess showed the fortitude of a martyr, and then said:

"Our Moon Shadow Island has reached the point of life and death, and if there are more druids, we will at least have the strength to fight.

"But if we stop because we are afraid of sacrifice, we will perish more quickly...

"All this, this is for the sake of our Kendik dynasty and the continuation of the Fu clan. ”

The female druid's eyes suddenly turned red, and she took a deep breath, allowing herself to resist looking at a figure in the crowd below, and lowered her head:

"Yes, Elder..."

At this moment, a tall warrior with a tiger's back walked quickly towards the temple, but was stopped by two temple guards with spears.

Click.

The priestess immediately looked in that direction with a calm face, and then raised her chin to the druid, who immediately trotted over when she saw someone coming.

In my heart, I also slandered that it was fortunate that it was one of their most powerful warriors in Cowell, otherwise if it was someone else, I am afraid that it would have been blasted out long ago.

The ritual of the temple was originally sacred and could not be disturbed, especially now that this situation is frequent.

After a while, the druid returned to the high platform with an excited look on his face and whispered a few words to the priestess.

The chief priestess looked skeptical:

"An advance party from the coastal countries of Sword Bay, or an envoy of the God of Justice? Let him come. ”

Soon, the captain of the guard, Nash, came to him and bowed:

"Priest Chief!"

The chief priestess nodded:

"Can you identify them?"

Since the start of the war, Luscan's intelligence work has taken on the posture of crushing Moonshadow Island, and various spy infiltration methods have emerged one after another.

And since the appearance of suspected demons on the battlefield of the First Battle of the Iron Fort, she has not counted on the bottom line of the Luskan people.

If they even dare to trade with demons, it seems that it is not impossible to pretend to be a divine envoy.

"No, you can't. ”

Nash lowered his head.

The chief priestess looked at him and did not speak.

Sure enough, Nash was heard to continue:

"But they are all very strong, if they choose to attack head-on at the first time, the group of people I brought will not be able to stop them at all.

"And, I felt in them a... It's a very pure power, it's like... It's the same as being washed by spring water.

"So I can only conclude that they are most likely not Luskans.

"And in their ranks, there was a Templar from the Iron Keep, and a red-haired maiden, who called her Her Highness Edwina. ”

After hearing the name Edwina, the chief priestess had a complicated look on her face and muttered:

"Edwina, it turns out... Is that the kid?"

She took a deep breath and said:

"In this way, at least for now, it is good news, Luscan's power is too strong, maybe these reinforcements from Sword Bay can relieve some of the pressure on us Cowell.

"In this case, you settle them first, and when this sacrificial ceremony is over, I will go..."

But before she could speak, the female druid on the side suddenly cried and screamed:

"No, no, Gwaner, Elder, he seems to be out of control, save him!"

The chief priestess and Nash looked up at the same time.

But the Condition Warrior at the very edge of the Ancestral Square had already broken free from the vines, and with a single claw smashed the two oncoming temple guards, landing on all fours like a real ferocious wolf, and rushing into the city.

"Oh no!

Everyone's hearts sank.

The warrior named Gwana was a warrior close to the master, and he was also a powerhouse on a par with Cowell and Nash.

If such a powerful warrior were to become a druid, he would become a master-level being.

It is precisely because of his strong will that almost no one thinks that there will be problems in his transfer ceremony, so he is placed on the edge of the periphery.

This frees up space for other fighters who are weaker and at higher risk of losing control, and if someone else has a problem, Gwaner on the perimeter can also help intercept them in the first place.

As a result, who would have thought that the second problem today was him!

What made them both relieved and extremely nervous was that this out-of-control wolf spirit was also different from other wolf spirits who only knew how to attack and devour others at the first time, it went on a rampage all the way, seemingly...

It seems that he wants to get out of here as soon as possible!

At this moment, in a stone building on the periphery of the Temple of Nature, Levi and Calvin, who had just finished a secret conversation, heard the wolf howl and pushed the door out, and saw the Fu warrior who was walking all the way to the 'four-legged' wolf.

The moment the eyes of both sides staggered, there seemed to be a moment of stunnedness.

And the wolf spirit seemed to sense something, and immediately stopped with both hands on the ground, but the road was too slippery on a rainy day, and it actually drew four soil ditches all the way on the muddy ground.

Seeing that he couldn't stop the car, he simply planned to rush directly past Levi.

Click!

In the twitching of the eyes of all the witnesses, they saw that the out-of-control powerful warrior was immediately whipped out by Levi's instinctive slap, and hit several mud drifts on the muddy puddle one after another.

Seeing that he was about to hit a passing mother and daughter, Calvin suddenly appeared halfway through the way, raised his hand and grabbed the warrior's neck.

The agonized 'Gwaner' immediately let out a terrible roar, and the wolf spirit burst out of its body and rushed into Calvin's body by surprise.

At that moment, Calvin was also stunned.

......

In an unknown heavenly kingdom, the wolf spirit with its body materialized looked at the Cavins rat that turned its head towards it, and was also confused.

"Woo!" the wolf spirit gritted its tail and bared its teeth.

"Chirp!"

The threat was drowned out in an instant by the overwhelming chatter.
