So he raised his hand and handed over a plump and lovely acorn, and said in a low voice: "The four of us originally planned to give this thing to you, but you gave such a precious gift, I really don't know what to say, but the oak is still growing, and when it reaches maturity, the four of us will prepare a gift for you, please don't shirk it when the time comes." ”

Shepard laughed: "Don't worry, I will definitely not refuse to come, and you will never be polite." ”

Lemelke was about to stretch out his hand, when Randil suddenly said on the side: "Shepard, you have four doppelgangers?" Except for the one sitting in the church city, the other three are all walking outside, right? ”

Shepard nodded, and saw Randil and the other three gods looking at each other, Randuil and Granttal also stretched out their hands, each holding an acorn, Lemelque handed the three acorns to Shepard, and then explained: "Please take it, this is the first fruit of the oak, containing its original vitality and natural power, there are only five in total, one for each of the four of us, and the other for the oak." ”

"This first batch of fruit is like the offspring of an oak tree, you can plant it, or plant it in your kingdom, and when it grows, it will be the new [Oak of the Forest], and its wonders are many, and you will know it when the time comes; Or, you can also cultivate it as a demonic pet, as long as it is a non-evil force that can make it grow, what kind of power you water, it will become an [Oak Spirit] that matches that power, which is one of the most peculiar products that oak can bring. ”

"Only this batch of acorns is naturally bred by oak with the help of the power of the forest, and it will not be damaged in any way, but the acorns that fall in the future can only be regarded as extremely precious high-level magic materials and natural fruits, or we can also transform them into other things, but they can no longer grow into new forest oaks after planting, even if they are transformed into oak spirits, they are only pure natural spirits, and will not have any other attributes."

"If we want to give birth to such a fruit, we can only force the oak to separate its essence, which will cause serious damage to the oak, unless it is a matter of life and death, or it is old enough to be a certain year, otherwise we will not do it, but wait for its next natural birth, I am afraid it will be a thousand years or ten thousand years later."

"Ariana is the weakest among us, her fruit will be of other use, and the remaining one we will leave for the oak, and we will pick it when it is fully ripe, and it will be planted in the kingdom of Randil in the future, I'm sorry I can't give it to you, so the remaining three are here."

Xue Pard paused for a moment, but silently took the three fruits, he did not immediately check the attributes of the fruits, but solemnly thanked him, and then turned around and left the lake, until he was about to go out of the range of the elf city, he checked the introduction of the three fruits.

[Oak Tree (*3), a rare and strange thing, a type of ancient natural tree, the inheritance fruit of the forest oak with the title of 'Lungs of the Forest', any professional can have a complete natural inheritance after eating it; it is a young body of the forest oak, and after planting it, it can grow into a new forest oak in natural time, even if it is not cared for; use any non-evil and non-harmful supernatural power to nurture it, and will incarnate into a 'Mutant Oak Spirit' that is consistent with the supernatural power that gave birth to it.]

The preciousness of this thing is even more precious than the natural gems that Shepard once obtained, and even more precious and rare than the full set of equipment left behind by the legendary paladin Ludwig, after all, the legendary equipment is neither too much nor too little, and high-level and rare strange things are not things that he can't get.

But there are very few rare and strange things in his memory, and among the tens of millions of players in his previous life, only a few lucky money warriors have obtained them, and this gift from the elves is not insignificant.

Solemnly putting away the three oak trees, he planned to plant one of them in the kingdom of God as Randur and Lemelke suggested, and the other was conceived with the power of light, which is not a higher power, but it must be possessed by gods who have the three priesthoods and powers of the sun, moon, and flame, and the spirit of nature born from this will not be weaker than any legend in the future.

The remaining one, he decided to keep carefully, Meleth is not very interested in combat, and she has the priesthood of [spring], maybe let her take care of the forest oak planted in the kingdom of God.

……

An invisible wind blew from the forest, and the branches and leaves of the whole forest swayed and rustled.

From east to west, it seemed that there was an invisible giant supporting the sky, bending down and blowing fiercely, and the rustle of the green leaves of the forest spread to the distance in waves, whether it was elves, humans, or those beasts and insects and birds in the forest, they all looked at this miracle scene with curiosity or amazement.

"It's the forest breathing." The second clone stood on the balcony with a scepter in his hand, and the knights and guards guarding the temple also discussed in a low voice with curiosity and confusion.

Behind him, is the cardinal Haku, the young bishop has not changed much from a few years ago, although the sense of honesty is much less, but it still makes people feel that the words are like gold, he bowed his head slightly, expressing his respect for the Pope: "Your Majesty, is this a good thing? ”

"It's a good thing." Shepard smiled: "Whether it is the sky, the earth, the forest, the ocean, the mountains and snowfields, although they do not have the same internal organs as living beings, they occasionally form some natural desperate situations or strange things, so that the environment in which they are located is improved, and they are dangerous and treasures for living beings, and for nature, it is like the internal organs of human beings, but nature is not living beings, even if there are no these, they will not die, but if they have, nature will have more benefits." ”

"For example, in the central forest, with the lungs of this forest, just like a human being, they can breathe, the natural power and the elemental power will be much more lively, and the life born and grown in this forest will have a better innate elemental affinity, if it can last for millions of years, there will be a lot of magical plants and minerals in the forest."

"But the most benefits are still the elves, the deeper the connection between the forest oak and this forest, the stronger the power, this forest will become a close ally of the elves, and even one day, the forest will be integrated with the oak, making this a country that belongs to the elves alone, unless this forest and oak are destroyed, anyone who stays here must have the approval of the elves."

Haku was shocked when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Doesn't that mean that we will also ...... when the time comes?"

"It's not that simple," Shepard shook his head with an unchanged smile: "Unless there is only one elf race in this continent and will never be discovered by the rest of the intelligent races, there is no chance, because it will take too long, if it is discovered by the civilization of another continent like now, then the self-reproduction of human beings will continue to occupy more living space, and the two sides can only go to war, and once the war starts, the elves will be defeated." ”

Haku was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. ”

Shepard lifted the scepter and tapped it lightly on Haku's shoulder with the tail of the scepter: "The elves are the darlings of the world, the natural creations of the continent and the world, in terms of proximity to the world, humans cannot be compared with the elves, and the protagonists of the world have never been humans, so there is nothing to lose." ”

Haku folded his hands and saluted to show his understanding, Shepard turned his head and said lightly: "Those elven believers in the Sylvan Kingdom, you ordered them to go down and provide them with some care, but it doesn't have to be too special, if there are people who are willing to come to live in the land of the Five Cities, you can also provide them with a place to live." ”

"This is one thing, another thing, you have also seen the scene just now, starting next month, the newly-born babies in the kingdom, no matter what race, as long as they are the people of the kingdom, the two of you will take someone to check, and if you find that you are extraordinary, bring them back to the church city as much as possible, and the kingdom will start cultivating and teaching them as early as possible."

"We need to plan for the future of our Lord's cause, and the newborn babies of the last few years may be the pillars of the kingdom twenty years from now! The stakes are high, and you two must not ignore them! ”

Haku answered, was silent for a while, and asked: "Your Majesty, in the kingdom now, in addition to the kobolds, the tiger people, the minotaurs, and some barbarians in the wilderness have also moved into the kingdom because of their admiration for the glory of our lord. Or will those aliens be resettled? ”

"If you come up with this proposal, you will arrange to go to a refugee camp for three months to train." Shepard said lightly without looking back: "Most of the kobolds are stupid, there are few people with wisdom, and their living habits are incompatible with humans, just leave them in the tribe, you don't have to worry about these kobolds, they will not enter the kingdom." ”

"As for the tiger people, the minotaurs, and the barbarians, including the elves, etc., as long as they are my lord's believers, there is not much difference, only the race is different, the kingdom has its own laws, and the church also has dogma, and those panicked believers are just afraid because of the unknown, and they are ordered to go down and let the priests and saints hold more missions, preach the mercy of our lord, tolerate all the devout believers, and appease them, and when they are familiar with each other, there will be nothing."

"If we have to distinguish between aliens and human beings, but instead we will plant a curse, people's hearts are changeable, and they hate injustice and inequality the most, and they cannot even change their beliefs, which is the original bad nature of the human heart, and the kingdom and the church only need to be impartial and impartial, and do not let the strong bully the weak, and do not let the weak play scoundrels and blackmail because of weakness."

Haku did not dare to disobey the will of the Pope, so he took orders and honestly withdrew.

After a while, a knight entered after asking for permission to see him, and saluted not far behind Shepard: "Your Majesty, Artha has come to you. ”

Shepard turned around without surprise, and at a glance he could see that Arsa's momentum had changed, his aura had strengthened, his spiritual power had fluctuated all over his body, and his divine power had been accumulating in him all the time, and he immediately smiled and said, "Very good, you broke through at the right time." ”

Arsa said respectfully: "Your Majesty, but there is an order, Artsa will swear to the death." ”

Shepard smiled, waved his hand and said, "I should all die for my lord, since you are here and have broken through the epic, I just have some arrangements to tell you." ”

Arsa said solemnly: "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Shepard smiled: "Don't be so serious, now even you, plus Hunter and Freeman, the kingdom already has three epics, you have accepted a good apprentice, this is your great achievement, I will remember it." ”

Arsa hurriedly excused himself: "This is what I should do, the Freman boy is very talented, and it depends on his own efforts and the blessing of my lord." ”

Shepard smiled and shook his head: "Don't interrupt me, don't be modest, now that the three of you have strength, the strong should have the status of the strong, I won't talk about the worldly rewards, and when the clerical office has prepared the details, it will be announced, and I will only tell you some important things." ”

"The church has four regiments and one army, which is the real core of the kingdom and the church's force, but the [Knights of the Corolla] is mainly responsible for guarding the saints and saints of the crown, although the number has also increased several times, but it can't be seen as a regular force, except for Natasha who has been stuck at the top of the advanced peak and can't break through, there are few outstanding characters left."

"So the other three knights are the focus, this is also what I want to tell you, you and Hunter are both breaking through as apologists, but unfortunately Hunter has limited talent, unlike you who can get my lord's revelation and advance to [Knight of Light], so in the future, the Knights of the Cathar will be commanded by you, and the name will be changed to [Knight of Light]."

"In addition, there is the [Knights of the Sword of Dawn], I was originally optimistic about Tom, hoping that he would lead this regiment after breaking through, but his talent is not as good as Freeman, and he has not been able to break through, so I will hand over this regiment to Freeman to lead, and Tom and others will also be under his control, and the name will also be changed, so change it to [Knights of the Sun], your Knights of Light need to take [Knights of Protection] and [Knights of Light] as the main inheritance, and his Knights of the Sun will take the [Knights of the Sun] and [Sunchaser] founded by him and Tom as the main inheritance."

"[Knights of Light and Fire], changed to [Knights of the Holy Sword], handed over to Hunter to lead, he has led troops, led knights, commanders are experienced, the kingdom has selected a lot of available people from the foreign continents who have returned to Shun in recent years, their professions have been finalized, it is difficult to be included in the church system, so they are all under the command of Hunter, plus some other non-scale professionals, I hope he can train a strong force for the church."

"In addition, Hunter brought back a lot of good young men when they came back from Ptolemy, you can divide them yourself, and report the results to me after the discussion, but Hunter will inevitably spend a lot of energy and time to lead the aliens next, and you two masters and apprentices will help him more."

Arsa and Hunter have a close relationship, and the two are almost playmates who grew up together, so he did not hesitate to say at this time: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best to help Hunter control those people from other continents." ”

Shepard smiled: "It's always inevitable in the early stage, and after a long time, you don't have to be too vigilant, but in my plan, in addition to the flower crown, there will be at least four major knights in the future kingdom, and the holy sword of Hunter will definitely be the largest one in the future, and when the time comes, the split will also start with the holy sword, you can tell him what I mean, let him have a plan in advance, I know him, with his character, knowing this news will only be more dedicated." ”

"Yes." Arsa replied respectfully.
