Chapter 57: A Call for Help 2
Wild Hunt.
In this world, the legend of the wild hunt has been around for a long time.
But even Adelson was really encountering them for the first time, and the strength of this group of ghost hunters was terrifying, and although the Circle of Nature successfully repelled them, it also paid a great price.
That's why this druid went all the way to the Free Capital to ask for help.
Su Ziyu explained something to Alice before leaving.
Both Lady Enid and Fantesin have been busy these days, and he has no intention of getting the witchers and sorceresses involved in this matter for the time being. However, Suziyu still left some information for Lady Enid, who had also tracked the trail of these ghost hunters.
The two men rode out of the Free Capital on the same day.
On the way, Adelson told Suziyu in detail what had happened, and soon after the druids had saved the unicorn, they were attacked by the ghost hunters one night, and they suddenly appeared under the night sky and demanded that the Ring of Nature hand over the unicorn, how could the druids agree, and then a fierce battle broke out.
The Circle of Nature was the druid's stronghold, and the ghost hunters didn't have the upper hand and had to retreat before dawn.
On the morning of the third day.
Suziyu followed Adelson to the vicinity of the Circle of Nature.
It is a land close to the sea, with dense forests stretching to the end of the mountains, where the druids of the Northern Continent practiced and maintained good relations with some of the fishermen and islanders who lived by the sea.
"Your Excellency Su. Please follow me. Adelson led him to a large area of thorny bushes.
Countless thorns were entangled, as if it were a closed gate, and with the druid chanting a few incantations in a low voice, countless thorns began to move, and little by little they retreated to reveal a forest path.
"The elders activated the Circle of Nature's defensive spell."
Adelson said softly, "The roads throughout the forest are closed. ”
These thorns can only prevent people from entering from the ground, but they are useless against enemies who can fly in the sky.
"Who?" A cold female voice came, and then a woman with emerald green skin appeared on the tree pole in front of her, her figure was quite slender and muscular, her bare skin was smooth but firm, she was wearing relatively simple clothes, which seemed to be made of a mixture of cloth and leaves, her slender thighs were full of strength, and her balance seemed to be good, and she could walk on the tree pole like flying.
This beautiful woman opened her bow and aimed at the Su Ziyu in front of her, her eyes were quite vigilant, but she was a little curious, as if she felt something.
"Vera! It's me! Adelson took two steps forward.
He smiled a little apologetically at Su Ziyu and said softly, "This is Vera." She is a dryad, and she is a ranger of the Circle of Nature. ”
Su Ziyu looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with curiosity, her appearance was comparable to that of sorceres, but the color of her skin was very strange, a special emerald green, if it was in the forest, it would be difficult to find her traces.
Before coming, Adelson had told him a few things about the dryads in this world.
They are the inhabitants of this world.
It is also the guardian of the forest.
However, now the number of tree spirits is very small, most of them are far away from the area of human activities, the tree spirits on the northern continent are a little better, but the tree spirits in the southern continent are very hostile to humans, because the expansion of human beings oppresses their living space.
Dryads are a female-only race.
Known as the Daughters of the Forest, they currently live in only a few areas, and the Dryants love forests, plants, and nature, and hate humans who enter their forests to cut down trees.
They will use humans or elves to reproduce.
The true dryads were born from their mothers through special "ritual" contact with other races.
Without exception, these children all inherited their mother's characteristics, had emerald green skin like plants, and would be 100% girls, although their eyes and hair color would probably inherit from their father.
Dryads are an amazing race!
When he heard it for the first time, Su Ziyu was stunned for a while.
"It turned out to be Adson." The Dryad Ranger named Vera nodded slightly, put away his weapon, and said, "You guys go in." Be careful. The animals in the forest have been a bit irritable lately. ”
Soon.
Her figure disappeared into the dense foliage, and even Su Ziyu couldn't find any trace of the other party, so she could only rely on her vague perception to judge the direction.
This dryant has a great stealth ability.
Adelson led Suziyu all the way, and after walking a distance, he said softly, "Vera is a reincarnated child. She may be quite wary of strangers, but once you get acquainted with her, you will find that she is actually a very nice person to get along with. ”
Ritual contact is not the only way for dryads to reproduce.
They also have a special transformation ritual that can transform a human or elven girl into one of their own kind, which is a strange magical ritual that requires drinking some kind of magical spring water.
The reincarnated child in Edson's mouth is born like this.
Dryads are naturally capable of spellcasting and can control trees and vines in the forest, but most of them rely on bows and arrows to fight, and only a few have good spell-casting abilities.
They had a good relationship with the druids.
Edson said that every ten years the dryads would ask the druids for a ritual reproduction, but the children born would belong to the tree elves, and they would raise the children together, and the children would grow up with their mothers, and it would be almost difficult to see their fathers again.
In a way, all the dryads need is a tool for reproduction.
Their civilization has no concept of marriage.
There are a large number of animals living in the Circle of Nature, and they all seem to be not afraid of people, and the Suzi fish even saw a black bear walking in it, and it did not attack them, nor did it leave in fear.
"That's Crow." Adelson said softly, "This is its territory. ”
It's amazing.
The druids seem to have domesticated the animals of the entire forest, allowing them to live in harmony in a special way, and Adelson tells Suziyu that the animals here do not easily attack humans, and only hunt when they are hungry.
Soon.
A small town built in a dense forest appeared in front of him, and Su Ziyu saw the giant tree in the center dozens of meters high at a glance.
