Chapter 45: The Northland
So today, the Dragon Spear Castle has been completely abandoned, and even became a temporary stronghold for wilderness bandits. And after Dugu Feng vigorously strangled the monster bandits on the Supreme Wasteland, although the Dragon Spear Castle was restored to clean, only a ruin remained. Nowadays, there is hardly any human habitation except for adventurers who are trying to find the treasures and magical items left behind by the dwarves of yesteryear.
"Now, from the Delimper River in the north to the meandering river in the south, the land that includes the Misty Forest, the Supreme Wasteland, and the shoreline of Sword Bay has been included in my domain. So I'm going to rebuild Dragonspear Castle as the core town of my realm. ”
Dugu Feng said lightly, because of her status as a legendary powerhouse, as well as the power of the Silver Shield family, as well as her widely circulated deeds and exploits over the years, the territory assigned to her by the Bode Gate Council is very large.
Of course, there is actually quite a lot of water in it, and just one Supreme Wasteland takes up half of her territory, not to mention that the rest of the place is also undeveloped territory such as the Misty Forest, the Troll Roaring Forest, the Troll Mountain, and so on. In fact, the only things that are truly valuable are the fertile farmland of the meandering river basin, and the narrow valleys and trade lanes sandwiched between the supreme heath and the troll's roaring forest. In total, the farmland that can really be developed is basically about the same extent as a normal earldom.
"Oh, I see, Dragon Spear Castle is indeed a suitable place!" Lady Silver Dragon is very familiar with the geography of the Western Earth and the Northlands, and naturally knows that from the map, the Dragon Spear Castle is located in the center of the Phoenix County where the princess was killed, and it also happens to be in the middle of the trade route from Waterdeep City to Baldur's Gate.
"In that case, don't you mind if I'm going to visit too!" Lady Silver Dragon smiled and said, "I heard that there is also a portal to hell sealed inside the Dragon Spear Castle. As a member of the righteous and good, it is my duty to observe whether this seal is still so strong! ”
"Yes, but don't you have to worry about your caravan?"
Dugu Feng nodded slightly, she was naturally happy to agree to be able to have an extra Ancient Silver Dragon as a free laborer. As for the Silver Dragon Lady's target, whether it was the sealed portal or the Ancient Bronze Dragon, which was also sealed and sleeping in it. Dugu Feng didn't care too much.
"Them?"
Ms. Yinlong glanced at the caravan opposite, the caravan at this time, a businessman who looked like a steward was negotiating something with a knight on Dugufeng's side, the trade avenue was only two or three carriages wide, and the vehicles on both sides were not small in terms of baggage and goods, so it was a little troublesome to stagger - in addition to the road conditions, the main reason was that the world of Feilun was not a peaceful world, and it was necessary to leave a few thoughts when going out. The negotiation is tacit, and the whole process is more troublesome.
"Alright, my caravan has found a client!"
I saw that the silver dragon lady beckoned slightly, used the spell to communicate with someone in the opposite convoy for a while, and then turned back and said, "When you get to Baldur's Gate, my client will take care of all this!" ”
Dugu Feng nodded slightly, but his eyes were no longer on Ms. Yinlong, but in the direction of her transmission, looking towards the convoy.
I saw that in the center of the convoy, on a huge carriage with a gauze curtain, there was a mysterious woman with a beautiful appearance. With a thin veil on her face, she was sitting lazily on the couch, her azure eyes staring at a card full of mystery.
"Witches of the Northlands?"
Dugu Feng glanced at this mysterious woman at a glance and swept over, although witches in the north are rare, they are not a figure worth paying attention to. What really attracted Dugu Feng's attention was the little girl with a half-elf sitting next to a Northland witch, and the half-elf boy who had just killed a digging worm.
"The divinity of killing, another pair of children of killing?"
Dugu Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and at the same time, he turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of Candle Castle.
Candle Castle is the starting place of the fate of the Sons of Killing, with the start of the Gear of Destiny, the scheduled destiny of the Sons of Killing is approaching, and all the children of Destiny who are qualified to inherit the throne of Killing will converge to the Gate of Baldur under the guidance of fate, intentionally or unintentionally.
Unlike Lolei, who only has a killing divinity but is not favored by fate, the future is likely to be a nameless sacrifice that has been neglected by countless sacrifices. From these two sons of slaughter, Dugu Feng saw traces of the convergence of fate and the Force, and the two of them were the same as Aberdell and Ammon in the current Candle Castle, both of whom were favored by fate and could ascend to the throne of killing.
"It's so much fun! It turned out to be a traverser again. But this time, who is betting behind it? ”
Dugu Feng smiled in a low voice, his eyes swept over the two sons of slaughter, and looked at the unpredictable fate and shadow behind them from afar. The belonging of the Baal throne, the gods are concerned. When it comes to an existence with medium divine power, whether it is a god of the good camp or a god of the evil camp, they are all trying to meddle and interfere.
As far as Dugu Feng can see, he has seen several gods laying groundwork either explicitly or covertly, ready to support the son of Baal. It is foreseeable that this battle for the killing throne is definitely more exciting and fierce than the plot in the original fate.
The half-elf little girl who was noticed by Dugu Feng had a very keen perception, she seemed to feel Dugu Feng's gaze, and suddenly twisted her body a little uneasily, trying to find the source of her gaze, but in the end she found nothing.
"You're following them?"
As if noticing Dugufeng's gaze, Ms. Yinlong also said: "They are a very special pair of brothers and sisters, both of whom have high potential, and they are very high in every sense. ”
Dugu Feng didn't know if Ms. Yinlong had seen through the divinity of the two of them, but it didn't matter, if Ms. Yinlong didn't want to say anything, Dugufeng wouldn't care. Since they were the sons of killing chosen by fate, Dugu Feng didn't have to take away their divinity like he took the killing divinity on Lolei's body.
This insignificant divinity doesn't mean much to Dugu Feng, she took away Lolei's divinity more out of pity, so that a little girl like Lolei would not become a sacrifice to the throne of killing if she was ignorant. Dugu Feng, who was favored by fate, was too lazy to move, and it was just under the catalysis of fate that he pushed the killing feast to a strong peak.
"It is indeed a high potential, and they have traces of fate!" Dugu Feng nodded slightly, and asked casually, "Where did you meet them?" ”
"Waterdeep!" Lady Silverdragon replied, "But they seem to be from Noisy Water City. You know, a quarter of it is half-elf, one of the homes of half-elves. ”
Although most of the half-elves in the Northland are concentrated in the Earlcounty of Elsie in the Silvermoon Federation, as the war between the Northland and the orcs becomes more and more intense, the half-elves of the Earldom of Essie gradually begin to withdraw from the continent like elves. A place like Noisy Water City, far from the war, became a haven for many half-elves who were reluctant to leave the Old World.
"It's a pity, the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings!"
Dugufeng sighed lightly, looking at the north from afar, it was a pity for a beautiful city. The world of Pheren has never been a peaceful world, and there is no paradise at all. No matter how beautiful or nostalgic the place is, as long as you are involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the gods, you will eventually encounter the fate of destruction.
Ms. Yinlong didn't hear the sigh in Dugu Feng's heart, but continued to follow the topic just now: "Now that the half-elves have a better home, there are fewer and fewer half-elf gathering points in the north......
……
After a little time, the two convoys staggered by, each heading towards their destination. In this way, Lady Yinlong gave up her caravan and joined Dugufeng's team.
"Ms. Ilyasala! You're from the Northlands, and you've probably traveled a lot of places, and you don't know if you've come across some interesting adventure stories. ”
Shi Ji, who learned the identity of Ms. Ilyasala's silver dragon from her sister, opened her eyes wide with curiosity, and after looking at Ms. Ilyasara for a while, she finally couldn't help but get close to Ms. Ilya and asked about the adventure story.
Although the silver dragon is not as chatty as the brass dragon, he is also very talkative and does not mind sharing his adventures with the little girl.
"There are many legendary stories in the Northland, and those ancient legends are as many as stars in the sky, and they can't be counted!" It seems that because of the fact that she has raised her daughter, Lady Yinlong seems to be very good at dealing with a little girl like Shi Ji, and she easily piqued Shi Ji's interest and told an interesting story that she had recently encountered.
"It is said that a new school of druids has sprung up in the Supreme Forest recently! Instead of believing in the great Lord of Nature, they have turned to the World Tree, and they are not committed to maintaining the oneness and balance of nature like the Father of the Oak Tree, but are committed to repairing the damaged and distorted natural environment, and the most powerful of them are the druids, who heal the traumatized earth and nature with the new spirit of nature by planting the seeds of the World Tree. ”
"The miracle that recently appeared on the Eternal Wilderness, the World Tree that grew overnight and was taller than the Grandfather's Tree of the Supreme Forest, directly transformed the barren Eternal Wilderness into another new wilderness blessed by nature! It's the handiwork of this new Druid......"
“…… I heard that their leader was a saint-druid named Solomon, who called himself a shepherd and seemed to be from another world...... It is said that he has traveled through many worlds to heal the wounded nature and save the wounded world...... Many elves and druids are now following him, and both the great Oak Father and the gods of nature are cautious about his existence......"
