Act 183: The Druid's Choice (Part I)
When Tulaman walked in, everyone was silent.
"The wizard of Buga?"
"No, this time I'm here on behalf of Eru." Tulaman replied.
"What do you mean?" The Great Elder asked with a frown.
"As long as the Deadwood Council remains, it's only a matter of time before the Green Tower is rebuilt. The demon cháo is only temporary, and the stable order should be established in the midst of protracted struggles and repeated defeats. ”
"You're going to help us?" Someone asked.
Tulaman shook his head and said bluntly: "It is better to say that the south of Eruin needs a solid line of defense, if the druids of the Ring of the Trade Winds are killed and wounded, the Black Forest is bound to spread to my homeland, and Eruin can no longer afford to lose the area south of Ampesel." ”
"So you're going to stay and help us defend against the wolves?"
"No, my ability is limited, I can only take you away," Tulaman smiled, "I've already drawn the magic circle, and it's in the inn where I'm staying - of course, it's rude to set up a magic circle in the room without the master's permission, and I'll apologize for this later, but."
Now, what do you think of this mentions? ”
Leave? Everyone was silent, and it immediately meant that the Green Tower was abandoned, although it was only a matter of time before it was rebuilt, but the burning of hundreds of years of hard work was still inseparable, and what kind of face did these great druids use to meet the heroic spirits of their ancestors, compared to them, they were not as good as this
One died in battle.
However, the wizard of the Silver Sè Alliance is also right, a temporary renunciation is not the same as a permanent renunciation, so there are still people who are tempted.
"How many people can you take?" The Great Elder asked calmly.
"A hundred, no more." Tulaman replied.
Everyone gasped, both for the terrifying strength of this great wizard, but also because it meant that except for these hundred people, everyone else was probably waiting for destruction. If everyone can die generously, there is nothing to say, but it is true that some people can survive
Others have said it has been too cruel.
Everyone has a reason to live, so what qualifications do the remaining people have to choose who will enjoy it?
For a moment, a pin drop could be heard in the hall.
In the end, someone made a final decision: "Let the young people go, they are the hope for the future." ”
Although the druids sent away many old people and children at the beginning, they also left many excellent young people, this is to ensure the remaining combat power of the Green Tower, and everyone knows that as long as those backbone jīng Ying are transferred, the defense line outside the town hall will be like a leaky wall. But even so, Tulaman said:
"Young people are not enough, they also need experienced people to guide them, and you don't want them to do the same mistakes you made in the past, do you? It's better to have one or two elders on this team, only then will the Green Tower be rebuilt as quickly as possible. ”
The hall fell silent once more, and all eyes turned to the Great Elder. But the Great Elder said, "I remind you, don't forget that we have a pact with that young lord from the human world. ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect the Great Elder to suddenly say such a thing. Only Andrew looked at the old man, who was hunched and much shorter than almost everyone present, with a slight admiration, and he puffed out his chest slightly, as if he was a little proud of being infected by this sentence. A kind of lonely pride,
For the words of the Great Elder represent the faith of the druids, who are alone in the Black Forest, but only to keep the oath of a thousand years ago.
A true druid will never forget their vows.
When all people, when the blood of gold is lost to the earth, when the people of silver wander, when the descendants of the four sages are increasingly degraded and corrupted, and the earth is plunged into war and pain today. Only the druids will always be at the forefront of defending the order, because of their sacred covenant with Martha
and they will never be lost.
"I'm against it too." A crisp voice said, and everyone turned around to see the xiǎonv child standing in the crowd with a tense face and looking angry, Funia: "We have made an agreement with Brother Brando, we must abide by this agreement, if we abandon this agreement today, then
One day in the future, we too can abandon the one we hold onto. ”
The hall was silent for a moment.
Tulaman clapped his hands lightly: "Well said. ”
"Mr. Wizard, that doesn't seem to match your position, does it?" Andrew questioned.
"I stand on what I think is right," Tulaman smiled slightly, "but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating the right position of others, right and wrong are relative, but those who insist are worthy of respect in my opinion." ”
"But then again, what are you going to do now?" He continued.
"I'll stay here." Funia was the first to speak, the expression on her face so determined that she didn't look like a xiǎonv child.
"You might as well listen to other people's opinions first, Miss xiǎo, you have to be cautious in major matters to be in line with your identity." Tulaman replied.
"You know me?"
"I've heard some rumors." Scholars are blunt.
"But I'm just staying on my own behalf." Funia said with a frown.
"But Xiǎo girl, because of your identity, your words will determine the fate of many people, do you understand?"
"That's too cunning!"
Tulaman smiled slightly, but the Great Elder had already stopped him from speaking: "Mr. Wizard, let's get down to business, Funia is still xiǎo, it is not a bad thing to maintain innocence and heavenly goodness. ”
Tulaman nodded, "So what about the answer the Great Elder gave me?" ”
The old man leaned over and looked a little hesitant. Fonia stood beside him, pursed her lips tightly and stared at Tulaman as if she were an enemy, instinctively sensing that the mysterious old man's intentions were not good for her brother Brando. If the druids give up their efforts, then Hesse
What about Brother Brando in the woods?
But Tulaman also blocked her words, so that she could not speak.
The others also mostly shut up cautiously, looking at the Grand Elder and several of the Grand Druids around him with inquiring eyes. Everyone's opinions are different, and even the individual's heart is wavering, on the one hand, it is to give up the possibility of the future, and on the other hand, it is to give up the agreement with others. It's okay to keep your promises
Isn't it pedantic to go against the original intention of guarding the order for the sake of agreement?
"Lord Martha, please show us what we should do at this moment—"
Many people can't help but have such thoughts in their hearts.
At this time, a bright lightning bolt pierced the night sky, and the faces of everyone present were reflected in a snow-white color. And it was at this moment that suddenly a trembling voice exclaimed: "Rune Stone has moved!" ”
Everyone's eyes focused on the center of the hall at the same moment, where a huge magic circle was placed, and the core rune stone in the center of the magic circle, which was the hub, suddenly worked at this moment, and the light of the green sè flowed all over the rock, drawing mysterious patterns one after another. Then the whole circle of light came out,
The Great Druids and High Druids who had been prepared around the circle immediately began to inject mana:
"O storm in the sky, in the name of Dallas Stere, answer our call!"
Tulaman was slightly stunned when he saw this scene: "What is this?" ”
The huge circle was already in operation, and the light of the green sè penetrated the clouds and reflected the coordinate point jiāo a hundred miles away, and then a vague figure flashed on the circle, and it could be seen that it was Brando. The scholar from Silver Castle couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw the young man, and then he saw Bran
William, who was beside him, couldn't help but be even more surprised.
"Thank God, it seems that Lord Martha hasn't forgotten my xiǎoxiǎo's storage zài, and this magic circle can still be used-" Brando stood on the other side of the light and shadow, his voice was a little distorted, and as soon as he opened his mouth, people couldn't help but frown—what do you mean, 'It seems that Lord Martha hasn't forgotten my xiǎoxiǎo
The storage zài, this magic circle can still be used'? However, his later words immediately made these druids forget their previous disrespect for Lord Martha and their spells:
"Elders, I have good news for you, I have found the entrance to Valhalla. Next, I would like to ask you to tell you that Fonia is here, and there is only one last step left, and victory is at hand. ”
Immediately, a long breath of breath rang out in the hall.
And Tulaman just raised an eyebrow when he heard Valhalla, and he was about to speak, but William, who was standing behind Brando, gave him a look, and the scholar smiled slightly and immediately stopped. At this time, only the Great Elder among all the people could still remain calm, and he took a breath and asked, "Probably yet."
How long does it take? ”
"I don't know," Brando shook his head, "no one has tried it before, but I'm afraid it's not that simple to open this mén." ”
This was to be expected, but the druids frowned.
"You only have four xiǎo hours to spare, young man." At this time, Tulaman finally spoke, he looked at the others and asked, "In such a short time, can you ensure that you can overcome a single odd to save the city from the wolf plague?" ”
"Of course Brother Brando!"
Funya stepped forward and said, and Tulaman questioned Brando in public, which made her unbearable.
But Tulaman didn't care about the Xiǎo girl's words, he just looked at Brando. And the latter was stunned, only to find Tulaman standing in the crowd, he was taken aback and couldn't help but blurt out: "Master Tulaman, why are you in-?" Brando suddenly realized something and stopped suddenly, but Tulaman had already smiled slightly and showed a look of expression that I already knew, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have known me for a long time, so I won't bother with you for the time being about the joke you made with me last time, and now how about you answer my question first?" ”
Brando's nonchalant raised an eyebrow, knowing full well that the other party couldn't really come to trouble him.
