Chapter 133: Son of the Wolves
"It was more than twenty years ago in the middle of the night, when I was walking through the forest, a timber wolf came to me, and he told me that the wolves had found a human intrusion into the forest, and I followed it to the edge of the forest, and saw two cloaked priestesses putting a child into a tomb that had just been dug. ”
"On the border of the Sun and Moon Forest, it is not uncommon for priestesses of human orphanages to bury dead babies and children in the forest, and I did not alarm them, but watched quietly surrounded by wolves until they were gone. ”
The Great Druid stopped talking for a moment, glanced at the concerned expressions on everyone's faces, and showed a hint of relief: "If I had left like that, maybe everything would have been different today, but the wolves smelled life from the child, so I dug the child out and carried it back to the Oak Temple." ”
He turned his head and looked at Rogge's face, who was listening quietly with his cheeks, and said lovingly: "That little guy was seriously ill at the time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a dead man, and it is true that human medicine cannot cure him, but for the druid, he still has hope." ”
"I used all the exotic herbs I could find in the forest, combined with the druid's natural magic, and finally brought him back to health, and since he was discovered by the wolves, I named him 'Wolf Cub'. ”
The old man squinted gently, smiled and tapped his fingers on the tabletop and continued: "He gets along with the wolves very well, and the happiest thing every day is to run in the forest, and the wolf sees him as his own child, and he also regards the wolves as his brothers, and he has learned the sensitivity and wisdom of the wolf, and is as swift as the wind. ”
"Gradually, I found in him many of the good qualities of a wolf, and without any question, he was a piece of manufacturable material, and I was willing to teach him everything I knew, so I took him to the library on the upper floor of the temple. ”
The old man pointed to the top of his head slightly, and said: "There, he began his ten-year study career, and the 'young wolf' gradually grew up, and learned that this world is not only as big as a forest, he began to yearn for the outside world, and wanted to run and hunt." ”
"I know that a young man's heart cannot be enclosed by this small forest, and he is destined not only to be a druid mage watching in the forest, but to become a wandering ranger, so I gave him this new name zì - 'Rog' means ranger in elven language. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on the old man's face was mixed with a hint of loss, and he sighed slightly: "In this way, the 'young wolf' grew up and became a wandering 'lone wolf', he left the forest and embarked on the road of the ranger with his close friends, and everything began like this." ”
"I bet you wouldn't have thought that I, who would come back ten years later, would become the chief wanted criminal of the Imperial Holy Order, and your students have won you a lot of light, haven't you?" asked Rogde, looking at Augustine with a smile like a mischievous big child.
"Actually, I'm not surprised at all, on the contrary, when you left, I was most worried that you would be lost in the realm of humanity, eroded by the world of flowers, and forget yourself when you set off. Augustine said to Rogge with a slight sigh of relief.
"I knew you would say that," Rogge squinted slightly, glanced at the little Lori sitting in Louise's arms and said, "But with this little villain by my side, no matter how bad I learn, I can't be bad, after all, I carry a negative textbook with me, which is more effective than any aphorism!"
Lilith pursed her lips when she heard his words, turned her face to glare at him, reached out and grabbed a pomegranate splitter from the table and threw it over, Rogge grabbed the pomegranate in his hand with his right hand, and smiled at her: "Thank you, baby, don't be so polite to me!"
He placed the pomegranate in the fruit bowl in front of him, glanced at the slight Xiào on Catherine and Tully's faces, his eyes swept over the faces of the calm Grace and the thoughtful Murphy, and he restrained the smile on his face and said, "I believe everyone's curiosity has been eaten, then we should get down to business." ”
He looked back at Augustine and Louise and said, "The two teachers should be no strangers to William the 'Bloody Hand', right?"
"The Dark Wizard King of the Shadow Fortress?" the witch frowned when she heard this, and asked with concern, "Isn't he imprisoned in the Condor Prison of the Human Empire?"
"That guy has been out of prison for a month, and we fought him to the death on the ice island, and he finally ran away. Rogge told the two of them what had happened, and Augustine and Louise were shocked to hear that the parts of the Hallows that sealed the vampire king had been stolen.
In this way, William's next target is the white jade rod that is stored in the Dragon Cliff. Augustine got up from his morning glory chair and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back and said, "In that case, you must inform the elves and dwarves of this matter, and warn the Golden Dragon King." ”
"But the conflict between the elves and the dwarves has intensified in recent years, and conflicts have broken out on the border from time to time, and Moon Shadow City and Sun Castle are pointing fingers at each other, and it may not be easy to let them join forces at this time. Louise said worriedly, looking at Augustine.
"Give it a try no matter what. Augustine turned back to Rogge and said, "This place is relatively close to the Moon Studios, you go to meet the elf king Elendil first, explain the benefits to him, and then go to the Castle of the Burning Sun, you have a deep friendship with the dwarf king Odin, you should be easier to talk to!"
The old man paused for a moment and continued, "I will ask the Bear King to send a messenger to the Dragon Cliff to inform the Golden Dragon King of the news of the possible attack of the Dark Wizard, remind him to stay vigilant and prepare for the enemy, and the wolves and birds will also monitor the entire forest, detect the Dark Wizard's movements in time and report to you." ”
"As long as the dragon clan can be vigilant, even if they are as strong as William, it is impossible to take the holy weapon from the hands of the Golden Dragon King. Louise bowed her head slightly in agreement, but said with a little worry, "But I'm still a little worried about the elves and dwarves, and if the dispute between them escalates at this time, the situation will become unpredictable. ”
"No matter what, doing my best to stop William is what I must do, and I have always done!" Rogge got up from his seat and said in a firm tone: "The Sun and Moon Forest is my home turf, I really want to see what kind of tricks William can play here!"
He glanced at Grace on the side and said to Augustine, "Miss Grace will leave it to the teacher's care, and the rest of us will set off now to meet Elendil, the elven king, in Lunar Shadows." ”
"Don't worry, I have two companions here, let them come with you, I'm sure they will help!" Augustine turned and led the group out of the Oak Sanctuary to the grass outside the gate, he waved his hand lightly, and a huge morning glory grew from the grass beneath his feet.
The old man stepped forward and blew the morning glory, a trumpet-like but musical-like sound, from the horn of the morning glory into the distance, and a moment later heavy footsteps came from the nearby jungle, and everyone turned their eyes in that direction to see a great shadow approaching through the shadow of the tree.
When the huge foot of the tree stopped in front of everyone, everyone looked up at the towering tree man, who leaned down slightly respectfully and said in a slow and deep voice, "Monica......"
I saw a vine wrapped around the tree man, blooming a beautiful pink flower, among the stamens of the most dà flower, a petite and delicate girl stretched out her body, four willow leaf-like wings stretched out from her back, cicada wings fluttered into the air.
"Hello everyone, Lord Augustin and Lady Louise, and strange friends, Monica and Jim greetings!"
Little Flower Spirit flew in front of everyone, making an elegant court curtsy in mid-air, the bandeau skirt made of pink petals made her look slender and cute, and her long light green hair was tied with green vines into a waist-length ponytail, floating behind her in the wind.
Hearing her words, Jim, the tree man behind him, also waved his huge hand politely to everyone, and said slowly: "Monica......"
"Why does he keep calling you by your name?" Catherine asked the little flower spirit as she looked at the tree man curiously.
"Because that's all Jim said, and it just meant hello everybody. Little Flower Spirit smiled and glanced back at the tree man, whose brown eyes buried in the rough trunk showed a ray of gratitude, and nodded slowly.
"Monica is right, treemen don't usually speak, but Jim is an exception. ”
Augustine stretched out his right hand and let the little flower spirit stop in his palm, and said to everyone: "When it was a tree, Monica grew with it, they communicated with each other and grew up, only Monica could understand Jim's words, and her name became the only word Jim could speak." ”
"Sounds romantic!" said Catherine excitedly.
"Let them accompany you on this journey, although I know that you have magic lamps that can travel through time and space, in the Sun and Moon Forest, the random use of dimensional magic is very dangerous, and it may cause unexpected trouble. ”
Augustine stepped forward and patted the hardened trunk of the treant with his left hand and said, "Jim can help you move quickly through the forest to avoid unnecessary dangers, and can also assist in the battle if necessary." ”
"It's nice to meet you, so let's go, and we'll introduce ourselves to each other on the way!" Rogge said happily to the treeman.
The group said goodbye to Augustine, Louise, and Grace, sat on the body of the tree man, and the little flower spirit Monica passed the message, leaving the Oak Sanctuary and heading for the Elven King City Moon Studios in the southwest of the Sun and Moon Forest.
It only took a day for the group to approach the Holy Virgin Lake, the hinterland of the elven territory, and as long as they bypassed the Holy Virgin Lake, they could see the Elven King City Moon Shadow City surrounded by the River of Silver Stars.
Just as everyone was talking and laughing along the shore of the lake under the bright sunshine, suddenly, a woman's scream came not far ahead.
