"Dear Madam, what do you command?" Roland intervened with her on behalf of the team. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We've killed enough, let's let these snakes, chickens, and beasts survive if we leave them alive." With that, the girl lowered her magic scythe and let the remaining snakes, chickens, and beasts escape from her.

"I don't understand what you mean by this, when you killed the snake and chicken beast just now, you were more ruthless than anyone else, but you are not allowed to kill others at this time, isn't it a contradiction?" Nikita asked unhappily.

The girl was not angry in the face of her accusation, and replied calmly: "I just hunted the snake and chicken beast, first, to protect you and your ninja friends from attack, and secondly, because the snake and chicken beast has been breeding too fast in recent times, and it has exceeded the limit that the natural environment can bear, if you don't hunt and reduce its population, it will destroy the ecological balance of this area and pose a threat to the survival of other species, including humans." ”

The girl's words changed, and her expression became extremely serious: "It is also for the purpose of maintaining ecological balance, and you can't kill all the snakes, chickens and beasts in one go, otherwise those pests and poisonous snakes that are used as prey by snakes, chickens and beasts will breed wildly because of the loss of natural enemies, which will also destroy the ecological balance and cause devastating damage to the natural environment." ”

Hearing her wonderful insight, Bloom scratched his head again and again, and Nikita and Veronica exchanged glances, obviously disapproving her arguments, thinking that she was arguing with her words, but it was not easy to refute them to her face.

Lyudmila's eyes were unusually bright, and she looked at the druid girl with joy, as if she had found a soulmate.

Roland was very calm. The concept of the Druid Maiden is indeed incomprehensible to ordinary people in this era, but for him as a traveler, it is just some superficial environmental common sense, and generally makes sense, but most people need to think about their own survival before caring for the natural ecology - such as those poor people who have been petrified on the river beach, their spirits in the sky will definitely not agree with the Druid Maiden's idea of keeping the snake, chicken, and beast race from extinction.

Roland had made friends in all professions, from environmentalists to industrialists, and his own experience warned him not to get involved in metaphysical arguments, let alone try to persuade them to agree with your ideas, otherwise it would only lead to endless quarrels and no problems would be solved.

"Ma'am, if I'm not mistaken, you're a druid?" Roland asked politely.

Another lesson he learned when he came to the world of Varess was not to judge people by their appearance. Women who are good at spells are easy and happy to hide their true age, and always look so youthful and beautiful. Druids are masters of beauty and health, and when they reach a certain level of cultivation, they can even stay young forever.

"You're welcome Mr. Knight, my name is Tonya, and I'm a man from' The green druids of the Harvest Ring, currently living in seclusion in the village near the swamp to practice, not long ago I noticed that there were signs of lizardman bandit activity nearby, specially came to investigate, and later found battle traces and lizardman corpses on a nearby island, guessing that there were adventurers passing by here and clash with lizardman bandits, and found that human footprints extended in the direction of the petrified graveyard, worried that outsiders would accidentally enter the nest of snakes, chickens and beasts, and specially rushed to remind you to be careful. The Druid Maiden briefly explained her origins.

Roland smiled gratefully: "Thanks to you for coming in time to save my friend." ”

"You're welcome!" Tonya interrupted her and sternly admonished him, "Whatever your purpose for coming to the Misty Swamp, you must know that the environment here is far more dangerous than you think, and for safety reasons, it is best to get home as soon as possible." ”

"Miss Tonya, allow me to explain." Roland explained the origin of their small tour group honestly and calmly, and politely declined her suggestion: "If we abandon our original itinerary and take a long detour to the mountains of Lucia, it will take at least an extra month of travel, and we can't afford to delay." ”

Tonya's face sank, and her voice was cold: "It's better to spend more time on the road than to die in a swamp without someone to collect the body." ”

"Hey! How do you speak, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil! Tonya's words were so unpleasant that the grumpy dwarf couldn't help but get angry.

Roland patted Bloom on the shoulder, signaling him not to be impulsive, looked deeply into Tonya's eyes, and showed his attitude without humility or arrogance: "You already understand our suffering, if this cannot be forgiven, then unfortunately, there will be a period later." ”

The druid girl was shocked by the momentum that emanated from him, and she was silent for a moment, and her attitude softened when she spoke again: "That's all I say, listen to it or not, weigh it yourself, it's not early, it's too risky to camp in the wilderness, you need a safer place to spend the night, come with me." The brown bear was instructed by his master to turn around and carry her towards the woods.

"Where are you taking us?" Lyudmila came up to her and asked her curiously.

"Valley Village." Tonya replied indifferently.

The Druid Maiden leads the group through the mud of the dense forest, and finally enters a village surrounded by green and smoke before the sun sets, and the smooth farmland, clear water canals, and farmers returning with oxen and hoes form a picture of paradise, which makes the traveler feel deeply reassured.

However, Roland found something unusual in this idyllic atmosphere. Occasionally, the villagers would stop and look at the outsiders, smiling and looking friendly, showing that they didn't mind dealing with travelers. The strange thing is that as soon as people see Tonya, they immediately put away their smiles, nod respectfully and solemnly to her, and immediately turn away, as if they were running away from something......

Witnessing such a scene many times, Roland had to suspect that the villagers were only superficially respectful to Tonya, but in fact fearful in their hearts.

"Is this the natural awe of the common people who don't know the caster, or is it that Tonya, a young and beautiful girl, has done something so fearful that the villagers have different attitudes towards her?"

Roland couldn't help but wonder secretly.

Tonya led the group through Vale Village, stopping at a shady oak tree.

Roland knew that the oak tree was a sacred object worshipped by the druids, and some druids even built simple huts on the oak trees and spent their lives on the trees.

Fortunately, the "Green Druids" are not extreme ascetics, and are more enthusiastic about embracing the fields than meditating on the branches, so Tonya has built a beautiful three-story wooden building next to the oak tree, which is very clean and can provide a far more comfortable living environment for guests from afar than a treehouse.
