Half an hour after dawn, Ye Qi and Ted arrived at the two 'artificial moats' on the reef heights pointed out by the new Holy Knights' Captain Anvar -

"Wow, good job!"

Ted couldn't help but marvel at the 'Heavenly Trench' in front of him, which was at least more than twenty yards wide, and couldn't help but admire: "If you build a defense tower here, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" As he spoke, he looked at the 'moat' on the opposite reef heights, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "And, more importantly, the two places are almost in a straight line, which can completely form a cross firepower; Although separated by a rapids strait, it is not difficult for us to build one or several pontoon bridges! ”

"I really didn't expect that Captain Anwar could find such a place!"

Ted stood on the cliff carved out by man, and threw down a stone the size of a human head, watching the stone the size of a human head be instantly shattered by the whirlpool, the smile on his face became more and more brilliant - for relying on the existing number of people to defend the entire Riptide Strait, in fact, Ted did not have much certainty, especially when he learned that there were three transcendents in the opponent's camp and one of the strongest seven in the world, Ted was not much sure, and it was reduced by more than half.

After all, for a strong person of that level, he knew what kind of power it would have, and if he only relied on Ye Qi alone, he would definitely have no chance of winning; However, after having such a good geographical advantage at this moment, relying on the restraint of the number of people, it is not a problem - at least. You can drag those guys here to death!

Here it is. Ted's truest thoughts at the moment; And for such thoughts. Ye Qi could guess one or two, he patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "Don't be too pessimistic, with the new Holy Knights, as long as the inanimate king doesn't appear, these dark creatures won't be able to pass through here!" ”

"Really?!"

Ted looked at Ye Qi in disbelief; Although he knew that Ye Qi was definitely not a big talker, he still couldn't believe it when he encountered such a situation. Even if the new Holy Knights felt very different, the pressure on Ted from the extraordinary and powerful did not diminish in the slightest - hearing is false, seeing is believing, Lorante did not have such a pause, but had a similar philosophy.

"Of course it's true!"

As soon as the little man pulled Ted, he immediately began to describe the new holy knights in a low voice, and the more he listened to Ted, the brighter his eyes became, until the last one released a fine light, he half-bowed his head, and said, "If this is really the case." We might even win! ”

"Guys, it's time to get started!"

Ted, bowing his head and muttering to himself, shouted at the group of witchers who followed him. Then, he turned to Ye Qi and said, "Then, I'll borrow it!" ”

The big man smiled at each other with a few of his friends, shrugged his shoulders, and walked over to Ted - although the people who came with Ted this time were professional builders, it didn't mean that there was no need for big men; On the contrary, when they have a big man, they are able to give full play to their abilities.

"It would be nice if there were more wizards who are good at alchemy here, at the very least, it can make our defenses stronger!" The little man squatted on a high reef, looked at the demon hunters who had begun to measure on the side and on the opposite shore, and couldn't help but say; Then, he looked at Ye Qi and asked, "Ye, is your alchemy capable of such a job?" ”

"If you make some small things, my alchemy is enough, but if you want to complete such a large fortification......" Ye Qi didn't finish, just spread his hands at his friends, and everything was already in plain sight - as a person with the [Alchemy (Mastery)] level, Ye Qi Ke knew very well the difficulty of carving a magic circle on a defense tower and castle; Don't say that it's only proficient level alchemy at the moment, even if it's expert-level, it's a bit insufficient.

"Perhaps, we can ask those wizard masters in Landing for help?"

After thinking for a while, the little man asked Ye Qi in an uncertain tone - for the wizarding masters in Landingburgh, the little man only had a hurried side when he returned to Landingburgh, and he didn't have too deep friendships; Therefore, he did not know what the attitude of these wizard masters was towards them, and whether they were capable of doing such a job.

"It's a viable plan!"

Ye Qi was naturally clear about his friend's thoughts, he nodded, and said, "Both Master Stendon and Master Weston are benevolent elders, if such a request is made, as long as they can do it, then they will not refuse; It's just that now that Landinburg is also exposed to the minions of the dark creatures of the Hailin District, it may be difficult for these two wizard masters to get out! ”

"How do you know the Tao without asking? I'll go back when I go."

With a familiar smile, the little man stood up, jumped off the reef, and ran in the direction of the small earth city as he spoke—there was a twenty-four-hour communication circle in the bar, and in fact, when such a war appeared, the communication circles of the witcher chapters in various places were all turned on just in case.

After watching the little man's figure disappear, Ye Qicai turned his head and looked at Ava, who was grabbing a handful of grains and sprinkling them on the ground not far away - in front of Ava, there were no less than thirty seabirds, and under such a number, that handful of grains was obviously not enough, so Ava had to open a bag behind him and take out more food that originally belonged to their group.

Zhilu said that after about a third of the food was consumed, the seabirds spread their wings and flew south.

"These guys are so cunning that they extort three times as much food!"

Ava complained to Ye Qi, he knew that his friend could understand the words of animals, and this became the focus of the conversation between the two most of the time; Of course, it must be when the big man and the little man are not there, otherwise, the little man will definitely shout at the two people to bully others.

In fact. Leave aside the honest big guys. The little man was very envious of his ability to talk to animals at will—except for Ye Qi and the three of them. No one knows that seemingly cunning little people have a bit of an alternative preference for animals, especially cats and dogs; It's just that, because of his natural ability, he can't keep a pet by himself.

There is no doubt that animals are far more alert than humans; Ordinary humans, with their small, unthreatening stature and slightly oily smile, would only think that this was an unreliable guy. Don't talk to him about business or anything like that; And in the eyes of animals, the little man is definitely a large poison reservoir filled with all kinds of venom, which makes them daunting.

"If I could, I really want Datong to talk to them instead of you, I think they'll miss your friendliness then!"

"As long as they're not scared into running away!"

Ye Qi and Ava couldn't help but laugh together at the thought of the animals in the face of the little ones; After a long time of laughter, Ava continued: "Ye, do you think we can win this time? ”

As soon as such words came out, the relaxed atmosphere was immediately replaced by solemnity.

Look at Ava. Ye Qi understood that this was his friend's concern, in fact. Such worries also appeared in his heart, and they have not dissipated now-

"We can win, and we have to win!"

Ye Qi took a deep breath and hid the worry in his heart deeply-although friends need to communicate with each other, there are some things that cannot be said explicitly; After all, instead of burdening your friends, it is better to let your friends' burdens go away and be able to face this war with a more favorable attitude.

"In our rear, there are civilians in Lorante, and they are flat...... Once those dark creatures have made their way through here, they will eventually be the reappearance of another collection of the Scarlet Age and the Age of Chaos! As a decent witcher, I would never allow such a scenario! ”

From the initial narrative-like words to the sonorous power later, Ye Qi couldn't help but wave his fist, and his words continued: "Moreover, we are not without a chance of winning, as long as we can drag down the inanimate king!" ”

"Yes, if your teacher or the master of the Tower of Decision-making is here, victory will be ours!" Ava couldn't help but nodded.

"Since the teacher is not here, as a disciple, I naturally have to take responsibility!"

Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ye, you won't be ......"

Ava looked at Ye Qi in surprise, and then grabbed Ye Qi's arm, denying his friend's statement: "No! Absolutely not! The most dangerous of the seven strongest in the world is that guy, if you fight it......"

"Don't worry, I'm just saying that, I don't have to do it!"

Ye Qi interrupted Ava's persuasion with a wave of his hand, he sat cross-legged, placed the Enma Knife on his thigh, and staggered the topic: "I need to rest for a while, can you help me guard it?" ”

"Of course!"

Ava nodded, looked at Ye Qi with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but sigh softly - as a friend, Ava really knew too well what kind of person Ye Qi was; He was sure that if something like that happened, then his friend would come forward.

Strength, strength......

It's still not enough!

Ava couldn't help but spread out his body, and lay straight down on the reef, looking up at the white clouds in the sky, and his thoughts began to be drawn into memories-

"Ava, you're the most gifted young druid I've ever met!"

Dressed in a robe woven of bird feathers and leaves, with a full head of white hair casually spread, Conno on his shoulders, with the kind and generous smile of the elder, held a bottle of ointment, and applied it to Ava, who was seriously injured on his back.

This feeling was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a hot oil pot, except that the pot containing the oil became his back.

"I don't think being beaten like this by two withered vine tree spirits is talented!"

Facing the old man's comfort, Ava smiled bitterly.

"Of course it's talented! At the very least, you're still alive and waiting for me to come! ”

The old man said with a smile as he applied the ointment, and his tone revealed a thick sense of course.

"If it was a leaf, I'm afraid those two withered vine tree spirits would have been cut into several pieces a long time ago!"

When I think about what my friends would be like in that situation. Ava couldn't help but sigh; In fact. It's not just Ye Qi. Ava knew very well that if he was a big man or a small man at that time, he would definitely be able to do better than him; At the very least, he will not be so seriously injured, and he can only wait for rescue.

"It's because you don't know the essence of the druid!" The old man smiled and plucked a slender leaf that grew in the room next to him, and began to apply it to Ava's back, while saying, "The druid is not a being who becomes strong by being purely powerful, we have plant companions, animal companions; They are the root of our strength! ”

"It's like this damask leaf. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is an ornamental plant, but in our eyes it is a natural bandage or a poison that makes the wounds of enemies fester! Mother Nature has given us a lot of unknown knowledge, and knowledge is the power of force, and we need to learn how to use this force and not cause ......"

Speaking of this, the old man's words involuntarily paused, and he didn't say any more.

"And not cause something?"

Ava couldn't help but turn his head and asked curiously.

"Inflict natural harm, in another way. Overdraft nature in exchange for terrifying power! The old man hesitated for a moment. Only then did he continue, but his expression was lonely, and his voice was also tinged with a hint of sadness: "Destroyer of Nature, on the eve of the Divine Age, some druids created existence; relying entirely on destruction to accomplish their own ends; The trees withered, the grass turned yellow, the lake dried up, and the earth cracked......"

"Everything is going in the direction of destruction!"

"They're here to survive, right?"

Ava was also well aware of some of the things on the eve of the Sacred Age, and from what he had seen and heard in the druid camps, all people lived in a way that was closest to nature, and it was impossible to destroy nature; And to be able to make them do such a thing is undoubtedly something of great magnitude - and it just so happens that on the eve of the Holy Age, the Holy See's wanton hunting and slaughtering of infidels is very much in line with this.

"Well, they have defied their conscience and become destroyers for the survival of their race—but now they prefer to be called druid avengers; Although destroying nature is a felony, they are worthy of the surviving druids, and everyone is willing to call them that! ”

"Druid Avengers?"

Ava couldn't help muttering to himself, as if there was a druid avenger in front of him who had betrayed his long-standing beliefs and faced the Holy See army with repentance and death; The process and the result are undoubtedly cruel, but in the end, they bring hope to the same clan.

Perhaps, this is also the natural way of the druids.

With this in mind, Ava couldn't help but ask another question: "Now, are there still druid Avengers?" ”

"Of course not!"

The old man shook his head affirmatively, walked to the window of the treehouse, pointed to everything outside, and said, "Everyone lives in peace here, there is no hunger, war, bullying and oppression, and such a place that conforms to the will of nature will not give birth to druid avengers; And, I hope that druid avengers will never be born again! ”

Turning around, looking at Ava's somewhat puzzled expression, the old man replied softly.

"Because that means we're going to face another catastrophe, a catastrophe that will inevitably require sacrifice!"

……

Ava, who closed his eyes, remembered the old man's eyes very clearly, which was a look of regret and sorrow intertwined-

Elder Connaught, I'm sorry!

With a sincere apology in his heart, Ava sensed the green seed in the depths of his soul.

After entering the solar level, this seed appears here, and then, it will change with his strength, germinate and grow, and when he enters the transcendent realm, this seed will become a big tree in the true sense, and then continue to grow until it becomes a towering tree and bears golden fruits.

What kind of realm it was to reach that step, Ava didn't know the way, and he didn't know; However, he understood that he should not be able to see that moment.

Ava's phantom stood in front of the green seed, stretched out his palm, and placed it on top of the green seed, and then a touch of crimson suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand, and the red liquid began to flow down the green seed, dripping on the green seed; After a few moments, the green seed turned into a strange half-red, half-green shape.

Then......

In the trembling of the seed, a delicate little bud poked its head out of the seed, and on both sides of the little bud, two tiny leaves trembled slightly, one as red as blood, and the other as green as jade.

……

Sea forest area, deep, somewhere.

Fia, who was reciting a druid's poem, suddenly trembled in her heart, and the book she was holding in her hand fell onto the table.

"Ahh......h

The sad words stopped before she could finish speaking, and she touched the wetness on her cheeks, and immediately turned and ran out, and as soon as she went out, she saw Connor and Avar standing under the golden oak tree; The two Druids, Ovade and the Grand Druid, looked up at the golden oak at the same time.

A golden leaf, dyed bright red, breaks off from the rhizome and falls down.
