Chapter 120: We're allies, so you have to pay
It's not the evil creatures that pollute the land on this side of the twilight forest, it's that the land turns the creatures into evil creatures, blindly treating the head and feet with headaches, werewolves coming to kill werewolves, and the undead coming to beat the undead, that's useless, the tragedy of the future night watchmen is because they don't see the essence of the problem, this land is sick, very sick, and only fire can purify it all!
"It's useless, Althea, look." Vanessa reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, motioning for the other to take a closer look.
Flames burst out of his palms, and after five seconds, the dried dirt was enveloped in flames from the inside out, but the dirt did not burn fully under the flames, but began to twist and deform at a strange angle, and the dirt also deformed? If someone had told Miss Commander of the Night's Watch before, she wouldn't have believed it, but what was happening before her told her that the dirt was like a life of its own, and it was wailing and screaming silently.
Vanessa doubled the temperature of the flame to burn the twisted thing into powder.
"What about the pastor? ......" Miss Commander asked hesitantly.
Vanessa nodded this time: "Priests can purify this land, but there are a lot of priests needed, I don't think Nighttown can hire so many priests, you see." ”
She pulled out a scroll glowing with golden light, which contained the Fountain of Light, a spell for which the priest was famous.
This is still the return gift of the Cathedral of Light to the Council of Cenarion, and the two sides can be regarded as laughing and hating, it is completely a gift of a ceremonial nature, the things are not expensive, and there are a total of twenty scrolls of various kinds.
Vanessa thinks that the other party has bad intentions, what's the use of the council asking for a lot of holy light scrolls? Those bad-hearted priests want to trick the druids into rebelling into the Holy Light camp, the Cenarion Council is now her second home, where can she endure it, just detain it!
"I am the Holy Light Scroll that I have treasured for many years, and today I am bleeding a lot to show you the difficulty of purifying the land!" She said meaningfully.
It's not been a day or two since I've known Vanessa, and it's been a month since the signing of the mutual insurance treaty, and Miss Commander knows a little bit about someone's almost undisguised character.
Nodding: "Okay, okay, it's all counted in our night town's accounts." ”
Vanessa was satisfied, found a piece of land at random, tore open the scroll, and the next moment saw a holy light appear on the ground like a fountain, and the land was rejuvenating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It seems to be working well." The eldest sister of the green dragon turned into the appearance of the night elf again and came to watch, and Senior Brother Niu also took the opportunity to be lazy to come and see the holy light purifying land.
Vanessa motioned to them with her eyes not to worry, and sure enough, at first, the purification speed of the Fountain of Light was very fast, but in less than ten minutes, the purification speed began to subside significantly, and after twenty minutes, the spring water ran out of energy, and after thirty minutes, the land returned to its previous state.
"This ...... What does this mean? "Miss Commander has actually guessed the truth, and at this time she realized the seriousness of the matter, the land where she was born and raised cannot even be purified by the Holy Light, which shows how serious the pollution is.
Vanessa directly shattered her illusions: "If you want to purify this land, you need to hire three hundred priests above the middle level, and you will only see results after working for a month, and if you want to purify it completely, it will take more than half a year, or even longer, I think you ......"
What do she think, she didn't say, she didn't think that Nighttown could hire so many priests, it wasn't a matter of money, many priests were nobles, and the king's orders might not be easy, Miss Althea's name was Duke, but in fact, it was just the town's father who had this face?
"This land is sick, very sick, and your faith in defending your homeland is worthy of admiration, but living in this environment for a long time, even you are afraid that it will be affected, and setting fire to it is the most economical and affordable way."
It is indeed a bit difficult to set fire to the homes where her ancestors have lived for generations, and Vanessa can't force the other party to accept orders, the two sides are allies, not her subordinates, she can only explain the situation, as for whether to accept it or not, that's another story.
"Are we going to be monsters too? I see......" Miss Commander of the Night's Watch laughed self-deprecatingly.
She weighed it in her heart, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
"According to the agreement, our status is the same, Sentinel Ridge has no leadership over Nightlight Town, right?" She reiterated the Southwest Mutual Protection Treaty.
"Of course, the purification of the land is only my suggestion, not an order." Vanessa replied very clearly.
There was no direct benefit to her in setting fire to the forest, and if the other party was adamantly opposed, she would choose to burn only the area at the entrance of the passage.
"I need to go back and talk to all parties, please wait."
"Absolutely."
The Night's Watch Commander hastened and returned to their town overnight to confer with Duke Eberlock and several other nobles in the town.
The scale of Night Town is actually very large, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers in the past, the sun was abundant, there were farms at the foot of the mountains, and there were boundless forests in the distance, and a large amount of grain and timber was paid for the Storm Kingdom every year, which was a veritable treasure land, and now it has become this ghost, and there are still 3,500 people living in the town.
The opinions of several nobles are not unanimous, they really lack the courage to break the bottles and cans, and the hired priest does not have that face, in comparison, Vanessa's method is indeed very affordable, and in the end, it was the old Duke Eberlock who came up with a solution.
That is to let Vanessa and them burn half of the forest first, see the effect, and also leave time for them to move the town.
Miss Commander of the Night's Watch came non-stop to explain the results of their research, and she said it tactfully.
"Can you give us some time, if Nighttown is abandoned, we will need to do a lot of relocation work, if we can, please start here at Raven Ridge first."
Vanessa looked at her with a strange expression, and looked at Miss Commander of the Night's Watch.
"Gone?"
"What's missing?"
Vanessa sighed, these people are too unreasonable, maybe the Duke Mayor knows, but the old man pretended to be confused.
"With so many laborers and soldiers, I still have to hire goblins to help, do the ogres in the Vogours in the south also need to be exterminated? The fishmen in the rivers and the jackals in the mountains all need to be dealt with, right? The loss of weapons, food, and necessities will be very large, and I may need to hire a few mages with my personal connections, we are allies, allies, so this ......"
She chattered a lot, and Miss Commander's brain turned around several times before she understood, asking for money, right? You emphasize that the alliance is not a subordinate relationship, it is just money, right! Got it!
