Chapter 58: The Circle of Nature 1
That's the tree of life.
Every Druid cult has a Tree of Life in their stronghold, and they use secret methods to select a few suitable seeds, and then slowly grow it into the Sky Tree, a tree with magical powers.
There is a ring of oak trees planted around the town.
It looks like a huge garden, and the fence is not artificial, but some vines grow out of their own entanglement.
In front of each house there is a flower garden with all kinds of flowers and plants.
These are all medicinal herbs.
The druids were all masters of herbology, and they rarely had contact with the outside world, and occasionally exchanged potions for some money, after all, the druids also had to buy some daily necessities from the outside.
They lived a hermit-like life for a long time.
If it weren't for the unicorn this time, they probably wouldn't have made a move easily.
Surprised.
Su Ziyu actually saw some half-old children here, they were running around barefoot in shabby short robes, and they hid with a little curiosity and fear after seeing outsiders.
"These are orphans."
Adelson smiled, took out some candy and handed it to the children, explaining, "We have vowed to dedicate our lives to nature. ”
"So the vast majority of druids don't get married."
"Every year we adopt orphans from outside, accept them into the Circle of Nature if they are talented, teach them herbology if they don't, and let them go out to become a physician and make a living."
Very nice and loving.
When Su Ziyu heard this, his affection for the druids increased a lot.
"Follow me." Adelson led the way, "There's only one inn in the Circle of Nature. The owner is an old dwarf. The temper is not very good. You don't have to be like him. ”
On the way to the inn, Su Ziyu saw an elf druid.
The other man smiled at him gently, then crouched down and continued to fiddle with his flowers. If an elf joins the Circle of Nature, then it is equivalent to saying goodbye to the old life, they are a druid first, and then an elf.
It's the same with humans.
Su Ziyu had also seen some elves in the Free Capital, but they didn't have the peaceful aura of the one in front of them.
Oak Lodge.
Su Ziyu had just entered the door when he smelled a smell of tobacco, and a bearded dwarf sat on a chair and smoked, and after looking up at Su Ziyu, he muttered, "Another guy." ”
"Give."
"The third room upstairs."
He threw over a key and said loudly, "Come down and eat later." ”
"There's a foul-tempered elf next door to you."
"Don't fight him later."
Adelson showed a wry smile, and apologized to Su Ziyu in a whisper, "Don't pay attention to him." That's what he is. ”
This is an old dwarf.
The beard is a bit gray.
He looked at least two or three hundred years old, but he was still very strong, much stronger than the Suzi fish.
At his feet was a heavy sledgehammer, which should weigh seventy or eighty pounds, and after noticing Su Ziyu's sight, the old dwarf casually picked up the hammer and put it aside.
When going upstairs.
Su Ziyu saw an elf, dressed as a ranger, looking handsome, but his expression was very cold, and he didn't say hello, and walked out directly.
"That's Mego." Adelson said a rather obscure pronunciation and said softly, "A very famous elven ranger." ”
"He must have been asked to help, too."
The room was very clean.
There were no ornaments, just the windows were covered with creeper-like greenery.
"I'll take you to the elders tomorrow." Adelson smiled, "You get some rest first." ”
"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded.
Soon.
The druid left.
Su Ziyu sat in his room for a while, feeling a little bored, so he went down to look around.
The area of the Circle of Nature is large.
Some places seemed to be closed by thorns, and Su Ziyu walked for a while before returning to the hotel.
Dinner was plentiful.
A human cook prepared bread, porridge, mushroom soup, sausages, fruits, and other food for them, and the elven ranger named Mei Gao was silent, just glanced at the Suzi fish, and went upstairs after eating.
The old dwarf sat there drinking, fiddling with some fancy cards in his hands.
As if sensing Su Ziyu's gaze, the old dwarf raised his head and said, "You look like a demon hunter!" Want a round of GWENT? ”
Su Ziyu suddenly showed an interested expression when he heard this.
It is said that the Gwent card was originally invented by the dwarves, and then gradually became popular in human society, and the cards in the hands of the dwarves are very exquisite, and the comparison with the Fantesin set is completely the difference between the collector's edition and the regular version.
"Come on." Su Ziyu sat down unceremoniously opposite the old dwarf.
The old dwarf picked up the wine and took a sip, and said with an excited expression: "Do you want to add some bets?" It is said that the witchers are very good at playing cards, and I don't know if they are the opponents of the dwarves! ”
"What do you want to bet on?" Su Ziyu put down his palm and said.
"Hey, hey." The old dwarf smiled, glanced at the meteorite on Su Ziyu's waist and said, "You look like a master." If you lose, teach me a lesson to that elven ranger. ”
"If I lose."
"I'll give you this set of Quint cards."
Su Ziyu couldn't help but think about it when he heard this: "Yes." Best of three games? ”
"Come on." The old dwarf said in high spirits.
Thereupon.
Half an hour later, Su Ziyu smiled and put away this set of collector's edition Gwent cards, while the old dwarf opposite him had a look of chagrin and sadness, and even pulled off several of his beards.
"You won?" At this time, a cold female voice came from behind Su Ziyu.
"Hmm." Su Ziyu got up and looked at the woman behind her.
Vera.
The Dryad Ranger I had seen during the day, she seemed to have just come back and was eating something, looking at Su Ziyu's eyes very curiously, and hesitated: "You have the smell of nature's spirit." ”
She was supposed to be the guardian witch's blessing.
"Hmm." Su Ziyu didn't explain, smiled at her and went back upstairs.
The other party lives right next door to him.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Suziyu was awakened by the movement outside.
He heard dense footsteps.
When he came to the balcony and looked at the entrance of the Circle of Nature, Su Ziyu saw a group of heroic Treant troops, all of them wearing clothes made of mixed leaves and green cloth, armed with longbows and daggers, numbering about hundreds, and were now lining up to enter the Circle of Nature.
A bearded and floor-mopping druid greets them.
The leader of the tree spirit is slender and tall, wearing a light green robe and a delicate laurel crown on his head.
Her momentum is quite compelling, and she should be the queen of the tree spirits in Adson's mouth.
