"Hey, hey, make no mistake, what the hell is this place?!"

"Yesterday, I saw a large village on the other side, why don't I even see a ghost now!"

The girl's angry cry suddenly woke up the dwarf's sweet dream. Bloom sat up suddenly www.biquge.info yawned heavily, and looked out of the tent.

It was already dawn, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked across the island. The rare bright sunlight in the swamp lightened the fog on the wandering water, and the view was extraordinarily narrow, but on the opposite shore was empty, and all the village houses that had been seen last night had disappeared without a trace.

Bloom couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood why Veronica yelled in anger early in the morning, like a puppy who had been robbed of his flesh and bones.

The Witch in Red stood on the water's edge and silently cast a spell to detect the situation on the other side, but she was at a loss for what to do, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Lyudmila sat in the bushes, her hands clasped on her knees, her teeth biting her lips lightly, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

This tense atmosphere made Bloom feel so stressed that he didn't dare to say hello to the girls who were in a bad mood, so he quietly slipped to the campfire, lowered his voice and asked Roland, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Roland took the boiling kettle down to brew black tea, and sighed: "Don't mention it, I'm also confused." ”

"You mean the village across the river bank disappeared inexplicably? Could it be that what we saw last night was actually an illusion, something from that legend...... Mirage? ”

"I don't rule it out, but I'm more worried that it's magic, that someone doesn't want us to travel as planned, and that they don't hesitate to use powerful illusions to lure us astray." Roland groaned.

Bloom picked up the hot teacup, but his heart was cold and straight: "If there really is such a mastermind behind the scenes, he must be a powerful spellcaster, why don't you just come forward to drive us away, but use this method of pretending to be a ghost?" ”

Roland shook his head lightly: "Who knows, maybe he doesn't want to turn his face with us publicly, or maybe he is worried about startling the snake......"

While Bloom and Roland discuss the mysteries of Vale Village, the female ranger in the bushes finally finds a local "native" who can find out the news.

She whistled at the top of the tree, her outstretched palm holding up a handful of fragrant roasted peanuts.

"Hey, little one, good morning, why don't you come down and talk to me?"

The branches trembled slightly, and a chestnut squirrel raised its fluffy tail and stared at the roasted peanut covetously, and after a long time looked away at the female ranger, and found that the other party was smiling kindly, and exuding a fresh breath that made it feel reassured, so he climbed down the trunk of the tree, and took a peanut from Lyudmila's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lyudmila blessed herself with the magic "Animal Talk", knocking on it to ask if there was a village on the other side of the river.

The squirrel squeaked and chewed on the peanut, and shook his head reluctantly when she was repeatedly asked.

"What we saw yesterday is really an illusion caused by illusion......" Lyudmila thought for a moment, and then asked the squirrel, "Clever little one, can you help us lead the way to the real valley village." ”

The little squirrel shook its tail and ate the peanuts without saying a word.

Lyudmila asked it several times but pretended to be stupid, couldn't help but get angry, took away the peanuts, and said angrily: "You cunning little thing, eat my peanuts but refuse to lead the way, how can there be such a truth in the world!" ”

The little squirrel consciously took care of it, stretched out its claws and scratched its head, its chubby cheeks wrinkled, and wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak.

Lyudmila saw that it was hesitating, and was about to force it to tell the truth in an accentuated tone, when a soft voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Don't be embarrassed by that poor little creature Nature, the Harvest Ring has placed a ban on all wildlife in the Whispering Jungle until a special moment comes, and no news of this place will be revealed to any outsiders."

Lyudmila was taken aback, and looked back in the direction from which the voice came, and through the dense artemisia grass, she saw a noble and beautiful animal approaching her.

It was a deer that radiated a five-colored brilliance, with a slight smile in her clear eyes, revealing the characteristics of humanity and wisdom, and a peculiar emblem appeared in the center of her eyebrows: twelve plump ears of wheat in a circle.

After being surprised, Lyudmila instinctively turned around and called out to Roland, trying to inform her boyfriend of the abnormality she had witnessed. However, there was silence behind her, her companions were gone, and more precisely, she herself had somehow escaped from reality and entered a half-plane made of pure spirits, and no sound from her mouth could reach the outside world.

"Don't be afraid, child, I don't want to see your companion, I just want to talk to you alone, you exude a natural aura that makes me feel dear, and your companion ...... IMHO, it's too rude and cheesy. ”

The five-colored deer strolled towards her, comforting her with a soft, gentle feminine voice, which reminded Lyudmila of her mother—a pity that Genia did not communicate with her daughter often with such tenderness.

"Dear Elder, can you tell me where you came from? Are you the patron deity of the jungle, or a reclusive druid? Lyudmila asked cautiously.

A smile appeared in the eyes of the five-colored deer: "My name is Valentina, and I am from the Ring of Harvest. ”

As a Far Eastern ranger, Lyudmila was in awe when she heard the name Valentina, and hurriedly bowed deeply to her: "Dear 'Watcher of the Greens', Her Majesty the Druids of the Far East, it is a great honor for me to meet you here!" ”

The five-colored deer shook his head and chuckled, and said softly: "Child, please don't compliment me like this, the name of the king is exactly contrary to my beliefs, if you are willing to join our organization, you can call me 'comrade'." ”

Lyudmila looked embarrassed: "Dear Lady Valentina, I'm afraid this is a bit ......" She has indeed admired the "Harvest Ring", a peaceful organization dedicated to maintaining the balance of nature and helping the poor people of the Far East to develop agricultural production, but after all, she is a second lieutenant officer of the Kolas Legion, how can she change her court at will, she will not become a deserter.

The five-colored deer smiled tolerantly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force you to also follow the path of the Green Druid, as long as you always maintain a pure and kind heart of nature." ”

Lyudmila was relieved.

The Green Druids are also called "agricultural druids", in fact, their research field is not limited to the use of magic and knowledge to improve agricultural production technology, but also has a deep knowledge in many fields such as animal husbandry, fruit tree cultivation, fishery breeding and even silkworm weaving. According to statistics in recent years, more than a quarter of the more than 2,000 collective farms in the Far Eastern provinces, large and small, have been directed by Green Druids to guide agricultural production, and in fact they have become the rudder of the "Ring of Harvest", and their influence on the local peasant class is even greater than that of the Pelo Church.

Lyudmila respects the Green Druids and admires their countless efforts and sweat for the development of agriculture in the Far East over the years. The Great Plains of the Far East, with its cold climate and harsh natural conditions, can support more than three million inhabitants, and the ring of abundant harvests is a great contribution. However, she did not intend to become an expert in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing, far from the war-secluded villages, which was contrary to her mission.

"Lady Valentina, you have taken me into this fantastic space, and I would like to ask for any advice." Lyudmila simply got straight to the point.

The five-colored deer groaned for a moment, and looked up at her with a frank smile: "To be honest, I hope that you and your companions will not be delayed in the Misty Swamp for too long, and it is better to turn around immediately and stay away from this land of right and wrong." ”
