After flying all the way and quickly rushing back to the Emerald City, Roger figured it out.

The Four Elders and the Great Elder had always been at odds, even if the Four Elders really wanted to embarrass the Great Elder, they would not have come to the Emerald City so soon to make trouble.

After all, if the Fourth Elder really came here in such a hurry, the Great Elder would definitely not mind saying "really good".

It's so face-giving, is there any! As soon as I called you, I came obediently, did you!

The Four Elders were definitely unwilling to be discouraged in front of the Great Elder, so there was a good chance that the Four Elders would wait until the other Druid Elders had almost arrived, and then they would show up calmly.

Important people always have to make their final appearance, not to mention that the four elders are still the bosses of the traditional school.

In addition, the neutral druid elders have always governed the environment in various barren regions in the north and south of the world, and even if the Great Elder has used the fastest signal eagle to transmit messages, these neutral elders nested in all corners of the continent will need time to rush back.

This meeting was very important, and the Great Elder specifically asked every elder to be present as much as possible, so the meeting was scheduled for a month later. According to the Great Elder's estimate, this time should be enough for the Neutral Elders who were far away to rush back.

Since the venue of this meeting was in the Emerald City, Roger, as the lord of the Emerald City, naturally had to do a good job in all kinds of receptions. However, Roger, who was accustomed to being the shopkeeper, still handed over these things to his friends, and he himself went to work in the nursery.

Whether he can impress the elders of the neutral faction depends on his secret weapons.

The druid elders of the Great Elder's faction soon arrived in the Emerald City, and the reformist elders were a little surprised when they saw the city.

Elemental creatures, elves, dwarves, humans, treants, and even all kinds of beasts, the inhabitants of the Emerald City of various races coexist in harmony in the same city, making the whole city look peaceful.

Although in the villages of the various druids. There are also multi-racial populations, but those who can settle in a druid's village must at least have a heart close to nature. Like here in the Emerald City, the dwarven craftsmen, who have always been rejected by the druids, can openly discuss with the elven craftsmen and the Terran craftsmen which metals are more suitable for crafting weapons.

If this had been in other druid villages, they would have been thrown out by the druid elders long ago.

Although there were some frowns, the elders of the reformist faction looked at the face of the Great Elder. didn't say anything, and all of them checked into a hotel in the outer city of the Emerald City with calm expressions.

Since the inner city was not accessible to non-Emerald residents, Anne, who was in charge of greeting the elders, took them to the inn run by the Night Elves. It can be seen that the elven style of this inn has been recognized by the druid elders, and their expressions are much more relaxed.

Seeing these elderly druid elders enter their respective rooms, Anne, who had always been a little apprehensive, couldn't help but wipe her sweat: perhaps because of the stimulation, the druid elders looked a little strange, which made her very nervous.

Thinking of the traditionalist druid elders that she would have to face next, Anne couldn't help but nail Roger's little straw man several nails in her heart.

Perhaps she had sensed Anne's predicament. After the Reformed Druid Elders arrived, Roger asked Kishara to accompany Anne to meet the Traditional Druid Elders.

In the Emerald City, the best relationship with the white dragon Kisara should be Anne, after all, Kisara's food is usually prepared by Anne. So although she was a little unhappy, Kisara finally agreed to go to fight for Anne.

Kisara, who was not in a good mood, was watching from the sidelines, and the traditional elders who had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble suddenly became honest and checked into another inn under Anne's arrangement.

Pity. Even though Anne had placed the Druid Elders in separate factions, there was still friction between them. There was a lot of noise in the streets and alleys.

The Great Elder who had already come to the Emerald City had actually told the trusted elders of the reformist faction the purpose of this meeting, so compared to the traditionalist elders who didn't know why, the reformist elders were very confident in arguing: if the traditionalist elders left in a bad mood, their vote would automatically be regarded as abstention, which was naturally a good thing for the reformers who were not sure.

But the traditionalist elders are not wine bags and rice bags. Faintly aware that something was wrong with the situation, they directly invited the four elders. With the presence of the strongest member of the Druid Elders, the momentum of the traditionalists suddenly rose, and even overpowered the arrogance of the reformers for a while.

And just when the two factions were arguing, the leader of the neutral faction, Charles, the eighth elder of the Druid Elders, came to the Emerald City.

Got the news. Roger, who had been working in the nursery for more than half a month, suddenly came to his senses and hurried to see the big guy.

It was in the lobby of the third inn that Roger met the unknown Elder.

Compared to the Great Elder, who had a ruddy complexion and had no signs of aging at all except for a white beard, this Neutral Elder had a wrinkled face and dark skin. Just by looking at this appearance, you can understand that this half-elf elder must have suffered a lot. Otherwise, with his half-elf bloodline, he would definitely not age like this.

After a quick glance at Roger, who was covered in dust, Elder Charles quickly guessed Roger's identity.

"Son of nature, what's the matter with finding old decay?" Saluting Roger, the half-elf elder spoke slowly. His voice was unusually dry, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

Sideways to avoid this salute, Roger waved his hand and said, "I came here in the hope that the neutrals would agree......"

"Slow!" Elder Charles snorted violently, he glanced at Roger lightly, and shook his head slowly but firmly: "The neutral faction will definitely not participate in the dispute between your two factions!" So, don't say anything about the rest of it. ”

Roger's face froze suddenly, but he didn't intend to give up just like that: "This." The Eighth Elder has misunderstood, I don't want you to join the camp of the reformers, nor do I want you to agree to unify the Druids with the reformists as the main ......"

"Don't play those official words, just say what you have to say." Elder Charles said impatiently.

"I was about to say that." Roger smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, I hope that the neutral druid villages will join the upcoming Druid Republic." ”

"Well, we centrists are...... Well? Elder Charles, who was about to refuse, slammed it abruptly. Then his eyes flashed, and he looked at Roger imposingly: "I heard you right, right?" Druid Republic? What's going on? ”

It's good to talk!

Relieved, Roger began to explain in detail to Elder Charles.

“…… To put it simply, in order to deal with the demonic plague, you reformers plan to put aside the controversy over faith for the time being, and directly integrate all the druid villages to advance and retreat together in the name of one country? Elder Charles shook his head slowly: "It's a good idea, but unfortunately, the traditionalists won't agree." ”

"If you want to convince the elders of the traditionalists, you must first convince the neutrals." Roger nodded. Looking directly at the Eight Elders, he said, "If the neutral faction agrees to this matter, even without the consent of the traditional druid elders, we will be able to pass this proposal." ”

Elder Charles couldn't help frowning and said slowly, "What if our neutrals don't agree to this?" ”

"The Centrists have never been involved in the dispute between the two factions, just because their quarrel is really meaningless, right? But the founding of the country is completely different, and the meaning of this can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye! If a druid state can really be formed, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless for the neutrals," the corners of Roger's mouth curled slightly, and he could see it. Elder Charles was already a little tempted.

"Please come with me, Eighth Elder. I'll take you to see something. I'm sure you'll change your mind after seeing these things. Roger slowly stood up.

Elder Charles' face was suspicious, but he stood up and followed Roger out of the inn.

"The neutral druids have been wandering all the time, and they must have suffered a lot, right? If the country could be built, the neutral druids would have their back. At least those Terran kingdoms won't be easy to do when they find out about you. Roger Shi walked ahead, and it was clear that he was confident in his secret weapon.

And Elder Charles looked at Roger's back, and the look on his face was really a little complicated.

"It's here. Please feel free to take a look. Roger pointed to the nursery where he studied various plants on weekdays, and said proudly to the Eighth Elder: "I believe that the Eighth Elder's vision should be able to see the purpose of these plants, right?" ”

Elder Charles looked at the various plants, and his expression suddenly became serious. He stepped to a sandy ground and took a closer look at a small tree.

It is said to be a small tree, but in fact, the tree is two meters tall, but the trunk is relatively thin, so it gives people the illusion that the tree is relatively small. And on the branches of this tree, there are clusters of red fruits.

Elder Charles plucked a fruit and put it in his mouth and ate it. He nodded as he ate.

"This is a sand date, found in a desert near the land of the undead, this plant is quite adaptable, it can grow in mountains, plains, beaches, deserts, even saline land. The requirements for soil, temperature and humidity are not strict. Roger said with a smile: "But this plant does not have low temperature requirements, and it needs a high temperature to grow normally." ”

"Compared to this sand date, I actually recommend this plant more." Roger pointed to another plant in the sand and said, "This is Saxon, also found on the edge of the desert, and this plant has a well-developed root system, which is very suitable for growing in the sand." ”

"And this cactus here, this is what I highly recommend!" Roger proudly broke off a piece of cactus and handed it to Elder Charles: "You see, the root system of this cactus is also quite developed, and it can absorb water deep underground. Its columnar stems retain water so well that we can drink the juice directly if we break it off. And its fruit is also edible, and the taste is quite delicious. ”

"The most important thing is that these plants are ordinary plants, not magic plants!" Roger smiled and said, "Even if they don't use natural magic, they can grow slowly. Compared to the magic plants currently used by the neutrals, these normal plants are better suited to the desertification environment. ”

Elder Charles took the cactus tuber from Roger's hand and drank the water in a big gulp, but his expression was quite complicated.

Looking at the Eighth Elder with tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, Roger sighed silently.

The current neutral druids use magical plants to change their environment. There's no denying that those magical plants are quite magical. For example, a magical plant of the water system "Water Grass", this magical magic plant can quickly go deep into the ground even if it is catalyzed in the desert, its strong rhizome can quickly go deep into the ground, find the water veins as quickly as possible, and use itself as a conduit to draw up the groundwater for the druids to drink. Even if there are no veins of water nearby, the spreading roots collect water from the deep sand of the desert and concentrate it.

As long as they have the seeds of the "water weed" in their hands, even in the desert, the druids have no need to worry about running out of water to drink.

Similar magical plants include magic vines, which Roger also owns, which can build a "bridge" between narrow cliffs or be used as ropes. After eating, it can have the ability to fly in a short period of time, and so on.

But these magical plants have one obvious flaw: growing them requires a lot of mana to nourish them.

The magic of the druids is limited, relying on the cooperation of natural magic and various plants every day, the scope of the environment that can be changed is not large. A small area of sand that the druids can turn into green space in a matter of days. But a desert like the Desert of Death, even if all the current druids were to govern it, it would take at least hundreds of years to complete.

Therefore, the current druids are actually more focused on eliminating the barren land caused by the activities of the undead, and only the neutral druids are still trying to complete the impossible task of "greening the earth".

Now, however, Elder Charles sees a glimmer of success.

Ordinary plants are naturally not as sensitive to magic as magic plants, and even with the cooperation of natural magic, ordinary plants cannot grow as quickly as magic plants, at most they can only survive under the influence of natural magic. Therefore, ordinary plants have been neglected by the druids, consciously or unconsciously.

Even though Roger had developed a large number of common plant products, it still did not change the minds of the druids.

But the advantage of ordinary plants is that they can be grown to survive even without the natural magic of the druids.

Now that the facts were in front of him, Elder Charles understood almost instantaneously what Roger was trying to do: to get more people involved in greening the land, rather than relying solely on the efforts of the Druids.

“…… If our neutrals agree to join the Druid Nation, will you be willing to promote these plants in the name of the Nation? Elder Charles asked in a low voice, he already knew Roger's answer, but he still wanted to ask.

"Not only that, but with many high-yielding crops, I will elevate the Druids to the top of the major powers. After all, except for the undead, the living are all to eat. Roger said with a smile: "With all kinds of food crops as bait, we can completely let the major forces take the initiative to develop those wastelands, so as to gradually green this land." ”

“…… Well, I see. Elder Charles closed his eyes: "On behalf of the neutral druids, I agree to join this emerging kingdom of druids. (To be continued.) )
