Chapter 122: Different Paths

With the first snowflakes of the year falling, the hunting season is also over.

However, the conflict between the Druids and Hengcheng has not ended, but has intensified.

Despite his bravery on the battlefield, Bennu was alone and could not completely erase the druids' disadvantage.

In order to complete the relocation of the forest, they had no choice but to confront the Dragon Slayer Legion head-on, which caused them a lot of casualties.

In order to regain the initiative, the Mushu family increased the frequency of using trees to fight, which made the already dissatisfied voices within the sect even more prominent.

The extremely complicated situation made Meng Hu anxious, and Bennu saw it in his eyes and proposed his own solution.

"What?!

Bennu, are you saying you have a way to get your unique Transfiguration to be mastered by other druids? ”

Looking at Bennu standing in front of him, Menghu asked with some surprise.

Seeing this, Bennu nodded affirmatively.

"After a period of familiarity and use, I became more and more convinced that the Transfiguration was caused by a mysterious force within the Death Mist.

I think we can use the power of the Dead Mist to give the druids the ability to shapeshift. ”

Although Bennu was determined, Menghu shook his head with some concern.

"No, this is too risky, a bad one will kill the person who enters the death fog, and what happened to Ashmi is enough."

Recalling Ashmi's various things, the expression on Bennu's face was a little sad, but he did not change his mind because of this, but said very firmly:

"Are you going to watch the Druids fall apart in internal and external troubles?

Dead fog is dangerous, but it's a way to break the game.

As long as there are more deformed druids like me, we can stabilize the current situation, and the sectarian divisions caused by the Shepherds will tend to ease. ”

With that, Bennu bent down and bowed deeply to Menghu.

"For me personally, the Druids are good.

However, I don't want future generations to associate the responsibility for the Druids with the last Oak Sage.

I can't let my teacher suffer such a stigma after death, so I implore you. ”

…………

While the Druids were still debating their countermeasures, a banquet was being held in Hengcheng for the end of the hunting season.

This is the usual harvest feast of the hunting season, in addition to enjoying the prey, it is also the stage for the king to reward the hunting heroes.

Historically, many commoners have become nobles through this route.

And this year is especially exciting, and against the backdrop of the conflict with the Druid sect, this reward must be very eye-catching.

Although the banquet scheduled for the palace was held in the evening, this did not prevent many nobles from coming to the banquet hall early to wait.

They gathered together to talk to each other, and from time to time they greeted the new nobles.

"Haha, Legion Chief, we all thought that you were fighting on the front line and couldn't participate in this harvest feast."

"Yes, it's rare to find traces of those druids, and we must catch them all."

"That's right, you can't spare those druids, they don't know how much of my timber business has been ruined over the years."

Surrounded by a group of nobles, he was questioned by a middle-aged man in a red military uniform, who was the commander of the Dragon Slayer Legion.

I saw that he took a sip of the mushroom wine in his hand and said slowly:

"Rest assured, the situation is already clear, the Druids are not our opponents, they are lost."

Hearing the Legion Commander's promise, the nobles' faces showed expressions of excitement.

As long as the druids are killed, the timber business will be promising in the coming year.

The nobles complimented the leader of the dragon slayer legion, and by the way, they also wanted to get more news from the other party, so that they could recruit lumberjacks in time to make a fortune.

However, the legion commander obviously knew that the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these nobles was always ambiguous in his speech, and he did not give any valuable news.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, someone jokingly asked:

"Legion Commander, you won't come back this time because you have been rewarded by Your Majesty."

Without waiting for the person concerned to answer, the other person hurriedly complimented:

"Eh, the Dragon Slayer Legion has a transcendent status in Hengcheng, how can the legion commander look at these three melons and two dates."

After this man finished speaking, the other nobles nodded in agreement.

In the city-state of Hengcheng, there is not only one dragon slayer legion in size, but it is the most special.

Not only does the Dragon Slayer Legion have a long history, but this force also has an extremely special mission.

They are responsible for hunting down the Awakened Dragonborns and collecting their blood to provide the royal family with the materials they need to engrave runes on Runes.

For a long time, nothing was a secret, and now the nobles of Hengcheng knew that the blood of the awakened dragonborn was the main ingredient of the thorn talisman.

However, to be clear, they did not dare to use their brains.

Historically, there have been people who had the courage to cross the royal family and complete the thorn charm themselves to master the elemental powers.

It's a pity that in the end, these daring people were wiped out by the Dragon Slayer Army.

It can be said that the Dragon Slayer Legion is a violent organ to maintain the royal power, and the legion directly belongs to the king of Hengcheng, and their strength also stems from the king's trust.

The successive kings of the state attached great importance to the dragon slaying legion, and the treatment of the dragon slaying legion commander was also extremely generous, and the nobles said it was not bad at all.

However, the Legion Commander continued to smile and say:

"Haha, Your Majesty's trust in me is the best reward, I really don't need anything else, but who said I can't fight for others.

James, come here. ”

At the beckoning of the regimental commander, a young man came to his side through the crowd.

If Bennu had seen him, he would have recognized him.

After all, the other party once gave him a knife on the battlefield, and the pain is not something that can be forgotten in the blink of an eye.

"Let me introduce you, James is the best knight under my command, and he was very brave in the battle with the druids.

I came back from the front this time with the intention of introducing him to Your Majesty. ”

Seeing that the legion commander admired the young people around him very much, the people around him couldn't help but become enthusiastic, and at the same time, they secretly guessed the identity of this person in their hearts, and they didn't know which big nobleman's son he was.

In between the legionnaires' conversations with the other nobles, a group of people gathered around the young man, and you wanted to find out more about his identity.

The young man named James seemed very shy, and in the face of the roundabout inquiries of the people around him, he told the truth very honestly.

"I don't come from an aristocratic family, my family is very ordinary, and I have lived in the small villages around Hengcheng for generations."

Hearing this answer, the people around him did not believe it at first, and some even speculated whether James was the illegitimate son of the legion commander.

It wasn't until James bluntly said that his father was an ordinary charcoal burner that the people around him completely believed him.

However, this also made the surrounding nobles completely lose interest in him......
