197. Life Guard

The Knights of the Legion of the North Wind traveled day and night, and returned to the Green Valley Forest almost non-stop, except for the necessary camping and resting along the way.

In the southern part of the Black Forest, the Dryad warriors roaming the dense forest have become almost the most beautiful scenery here, they are like some shepherds, walking in the dense forest at will, but they seem to have a special area, the tall trunk and umbrella-like canopy make each tree spirit almost a bird paradise, a group of blue-backed copper-billed woodpeckers are very fond of nesting in the canopy of the tree spirits.

Each tree spirit has a natural aura at its feet, and no matter where they pass by, a new green sprouts wherever there is soil.

The dryads hated the Nibru spider-men.

These Guardians of the Jungle have been fulfilling their mission as guardians ever since the ban in the forest was lifted.

They find the giant spiders hiding in the woods and trap them with rattans, just like giant spiders hang their silk cocoons on dead trees, and hang giant spiders tied into rice dumplings on their branches, and when the tree spirits walk in the forest, those giant spiders keep shaking and hissing like wind chimes tied to the branches.

The forest treants are carrying out the harshest purge of the remnants of the Nibru spiders.

When the dryads are trapped in place, they are almost the same as ordinary trees, at most they can only release some simple wood-based spells in place, such as 'Thorn Entanglement', 'Activating Trees', 'Vine Impact', etc., but after the ban is lifted, the power that these jungle herders can control in the forest is suddenly revealed, and for those Nibru spiders who did not evacuate the Black Forest in time, this is where the nightmare begins.

Dryads are gentle in nature, and it is said that the party occasionally encounters wandering dryads in the jungle, as long as they do not actively provoke them, do not make provocative moves against them, and do not get too close to them, usually these dryads turn a blind eye to the adventurers.

The 5,000 Constructed Knights lined up in four rows and rode their horses down the boulevard, knowing that the next step was to be repaired in Tanton City or Trum Town for two to three weeks, and the Constructed Knights' return journey was extremely easy.

The knights were followed by five thousand knightly servants with mules, which were packed to the brim, and apparently had gained a lot from the knights in the Black Forest.

Of course, the biggest change is still the natives in the Gilda tribe, with the help of barbarian slaves, the indigenous warriors signed a slave contract with the giant spider, and obtained dozens of giant spider slaves, a group of indigenous warriors sat on the wooden board on the back of the giant spider, holding a black iron spear in their hands, looking quite spiritual.

The barbarian slaves have been very close to the indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe recently, and the indigenous warriors have made some cooler bark vests and crotch pants for the barbarian slaves, and the barbarian slaves wiped off the black iron heavy armor that they were originally wearing on their bodies, coated with some animal fat, and put them in wooden boxes, and carried them on their bodies with heavy crossbows, and these vests and shorts made of bark were very popular with barbarian slaves.

In such a hot and rainy summer, the barbarian slaves finally felt a hint of coolness beyond magic.

......

Back in the Green Valley Forest, the indigenous people of the Gilda tribe are rebuilding the treehouse village.

In the battle that decided the survival of the Green Valley Forest, the Great Witch of the Gilda tribe merged with a tree spirit, which was originally by the side of the ancient war tree Weisman, but now there is almost no Nibru spider in the Green Valley forest, and when the seal circle in the Black Forest was lifted, the Great Witch of the Gilda tribe also returned to the indigenous village, but now she can no longer return to the wooden house that belongs to her.

She had taken the form of a tree spirit, and had taken root next to her treehouse, and when I met her, the huge trunk had completely enclosed her body, revealing only a bloodless face, her lips and eye sockets were a deep turquoise, and she looked much better than the last time I had seen her.

When she saw me coming over, she smiled as if she was self-deprecating: "The hero who saved the ancient dryads of the Black Forest, don't you think it's a little ridiculous to see me like this?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I saw the Gilda tribe witch, I felt that the old wrinkles on her face were not so obvious, although her face was pale, but after merging with the tree spirit, her body was full of vitality again.

To this day, I still remember the last battle in the Green Valley Jungle, she gathered the strength of the nearby tree spirits and erected a tree wall in the Green Valley Forest, it is precisely because of this tree wall that the indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe can hold on until we rush over, and the balance of the war with the Nibru spider people has also begun to tilt towards our side from that moment, and the victory of the Green Valley Jungle War is due to the great witch of the Gilda tribe.

"I'm thinking...... How the hell did I give you such an illusion. "I stood in front of her and looked her in the eye, for the first time I looked seriously at the great witch of the Gilda tribe, and I found that her eyes were thin and long, and perhaps in her youth she was a beautiful girl as Puyaka.

I tried to explain to her that, after all, part of what we are doing today is due in part to the selfless dedication of the Gilda warriors.

Therefore, I said to the great witch of the Gilda tribe: "For me, my original intention was just to drive out those Nibru spiders, and to lift the ancient ban circle was entrusted by the ancient tree of war. ”

I paused, then continued:

"In fact...... I was just in some part of the southern Black Forest to get those keys of power back, and to be honest, I didn't think I would succeed until I did it. ”

The Gilda Tribal Witch laughed twice, her voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded a little like a crow whispering: "It doesn't matter how the process is, after all, you succeeded, didn't you?"

"Well, that's right......" I confessed.

"Well, don't waste your precious time with me, as you can see, the Gilda tribe has now become nothing. The Great Witch pointed to the depressed village, her voice full of bitterness, but then she stabilized her emotions and said to me, "Lord Weisman, the guardian of the Green Valley Forest, is waiting to see you, a young mage from the Grimm Empire...... In any case, I would like to thank you, if it weren't for you, even the last southern part of the Black Forest would not have had a place for our Gilda tribe to live. ”

I didn't expect to hear the words of thanks in her mouth, so I hurriedly said, "I also want to thank you, it was you who taught me the life magic pattern of 'Life Recovery Speed'. ”

The biggest takeaway for me so far in the Hierro plane:

Giant spider's demonic spider silk

The small town of Trem, which includes the Dust Swamp

The Gilda Tribe Great Witch taught me the Magic Pattern of Life

The friendship of the ancient tree spirits

These will be things that I will be inexhaustible in the future, and their value will slowly increase over time.

The Great Witch of the Gilda tribe snorted coldly and said to me, "That Life Pattern is not a rotten name like 'Life Recovery Speed', it is called 'Life Guardian' to us. Only the tribal children who have successfully been given the 'Life Guardian' have the right to learn witchcraft, okay, don't delay with me, hurry up and meet Lord Weisman, it's waiting for you......"

......

The indigenous Grand Elder of the Gilda tribe, Puyaka's grandfather, welcomed us back with the entire village.

More than 2,000 Gilda warriors returned to the village, making the depressed village lively, especially the native warriors riding on the backs of giant spiders, who were sought after by the young natives of the village, who introduced the barbarian friends to the young people of the tribe, and took out the dead wood turned by the tree goblins from their bags and gave it to the young natives, which caused the young people to exclaim.

For our arrival, the natives of the Gilda tribe naturally gave the warmest welcome ceremony.

The natives of the Gilda tribe had already begun to build makeshift camps and stables in the woods to help the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion, and some indigenous women led the knights to the river to cut the grass for the horses, and the supplies brought back by the knights were piled up like hills in the forest clearing of the village.

Unexpectedly, these few battles actually made every knight of the North Wind Legion accumulate a considerable amount of wealth.

After walking around the outside of the indigenous village with the orc warriors on horseback, a group of orc warriors rode northwest, like a pack of timberwolves, always able to maintain their best physical strength at all times, and never seemed to need to rest.

Surrounded by a group of children from the tribe, Puyaka and Coney took out handfuls of oat candy from their bags and distributed them to the children of the tribe, who shouted 'Sister Puyaka ......' as sweet as they wanted.

Not far away, in front of the camp of the North Wind Legion, the knights and servants were setting up camp and building stables.

As for the constructed knights, they entered the state of vacation early, a group of constructed knights only wore shorts, scrubbing hard leather armor and sweat-soaked shirts around the big trees, the trunks of these big trees were pasted with 'water gathering' rune boards, and now the North Wind Legion is slowly beginning to get used to using these life magic rune boards, and the life in the jungle has made the skin of these constructed knights who came to the northern province a lot whiter, and the bulging muscles on their bodies are as delicate as marble sculptures, and a group of constructed knights are giggling and laughing under the trees.

There were a lot of people around the camp, and when I walked in, I found that it was actually a group of knights in the North Wind Legion who were playing a kind of relay wrestling game, and there were two knights in a circle with a diameter of only ten meters, and they were testing each other in the circle with their bare hands, which was the most common wrestling game in the barracks, comparing strength and endurance, and skill was not so important here.

As I passed, I happened to see the great knight Benedict standing in the circle wrestling with a knight in a build, only to see his muscular arms clasped against the opponent, his center of gravity shifted slightly, and he staggered and threw the opposite knight to the ground.

There was a cheer all around, and the crowd was still shouting: "This is already the one hundred and nineth, see who can knock Master Benedict down, after so many battles, I think he should be running out of strength, I want to know who will end Master Benedict." ”

Standing in the distance, I could vaguely see some of the situation inside through the crowd, but when I walked in, I found that the onlookers were all very burly, and I couldn't see the battle inside when I stood behind the crowd.

At this time, I heard someone in the crowd protest loudly: "No, Lord Ram, do you want to finish off the Benedicts yourself? Lord Benedict is a defensive Aegis Knight, you are a powerful Templar, isn't it natural for you to finish off Lord Benedict?"

Another shouted in a hoarse voice: "There is so much nonsense from there, if you want to play, you have to wait in line." ”

Then the crowd suddenly became silent, knowing that there was a fight inside, but I didn't get to see it with my own eyes.

I regretted not taking the Minotaur Ruka with me, and I glanced at Katerina, who was standing next to me, and wondered if I could ride on her shoulders at this time......

The crowd fried the pot again, and someone shouted, "Wow...... What the hell is going on with Lord Benedict today, Lord Ram has turned it over!"

Someone else said, "It's been so long...... I haven't seen a decline in physical strength, and if I have a chance to complete the second transfer, I will also choose to become a Shield Knight......"

It's funny to hear someone in the crowd chatting like this.

The War Tree Weisman was anxious to see me, and I didn't get into the front row here, so I didn't have any idea of continuing to watch.

As he turned to pass the front of the camp, the Count of Desmond came out of the camp and, seeing me at a glance, walked up quickly.

He seemed to have something to look for me, so I stopped under the tree and waited for him, and asked him with a smile, "Earl Desmond, you are chasing me...... Is there anything you want me to do?"

Count Desmond didn't hesitate much this time, and said to me: "Count Giga, I want to exchange the 'Life Recovery Speed' of the Life Demon Pattern for another ......."

Since it was something on the merit exchange list, I nodded in agreement without thinking about it, and said to Count Desmond: "Okay, of course it's no problem, after I go to see Lord Weisman, the ancient tree of the Green Valley Jungle Guardian War, I can start drawing it when I come back, but you have to confirm who this life magic pattern is given first!"

Hearing my question, the Earl of Desmond also became hesitant for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "As for whom...... I'm going to look into this!"

I waved my hand with my back to Count Desmond in my opinion.

After taking a few steps forward with Katarina, he suddenly remembered the words of the Gilda tribe witch, so he couldn't help but turn to Count Desmond and say, "Oh, yes, Count Desmond, the name of this life pattern has been changed, and now I call it 'Life Guardian'!"

"......," Count Desmond looked at me in confusion, and there was a clear feeling in his eyes, 'Isn't it up to you to decide what your name is?'
