In a valley surrounded by mountains, there is a small village. The houses in the village are quite simple, but they are very natural and harmoniously integrated with the surrounding environment. A variety of shrubs form a natural fence that encloses dozens of small courtyards. Towering trees are scattered throughout the village, shielding them from the scorching sun.

The village is filled with a peaceful, warm atmosphere. People come and go leisurely, enjoying the peace of the afternoon.

Rogge had been observing the village for two whole days, and was more or less familiar with it. It seems that there are no too powerful people here, and their plans should be able to succeed, now just waiting for the opportunity.

It's just that why are you faintly uneasy?

As the sun rose, a young man and a woman walked out of the village. Rogge's spirits were lifted.

The man and woman climbed up the hill where Rogge was hiding. They walk briskly and often leap over boulders that stand in their way. Although they are both mages, druids are very different from mages who are physically weak. In this respect, they are more akin to light mages who refine auxiliary magic, i.e., priests. When they are clothed in armor and blessed with magic, druids become fierce warriors.

A man and a woman are dressed in homespun clothes, decorated with flowers, natural gemstones, and rustic wood carvings that grow in the mountains. They walked briskly, and the girl sang mountain songs, not noticing that someone was sneakily following them not far behind.

This section of the mountain road lasted from early morning to near noon before coming to a cliff. They took out the rope and tied it to the boulder on the edge of the cliff, and the young man slowly followed the rope and slipped down the cliff. The girl sat leisurely under a large tree, took out a musical instrument made of bamboo, and played it.

In the cracks of the cliff are dotted with small purple-red grass. During the two days of observation, Rogge found that most of the people in the small village were engaged in one or two jobs. The young man and woman spend two days picking the herb on the cliff. The environment here is quiet and uninhabited, which is a good place for Rogge to start.

Rogge entered the spiritual world, once again confirming the strength of this young man and woman. Judging from their spiritual strength, this pair of young men and women is still a low-level druid, it should be up or down the sixth or seventh level. Rog had never seen the druids before, and he had no way to evaluate the strength of the druids, so he could only observe them from the energy they had.

Rog whispered a spell and pointed to the boulder with the rope tied to the edge of the cliff!

There was a sudden slight tremor on the cliff, and the boulder shook violently a few times, and a young man exclaimed from the bottom of the cliff.

"Brother!" the girl threw down her instrument and galloped over.

Rogge's eyes flashed with silver, and he raised his hand to nudge. The boulder shook a few times, and finally couldn't support it anymore and rolled off the cliff!

There was a long exclamation from the bottom of the cliff. Mixed with the heavy sound of boulders rolling down to the bottom.

"No, brother!" the girl pounced on the rope quickly, but missed a step!

She cried and crouched on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see a cloud of mist, where was her brother's figure?

"Someone's here, anyone's here, save someone!" the girl cried out in panic and aimlessly. How can anyone pass by in this barren mountain range? Unless it is someone who cares.

The girl got up and ran to the village crying. But the road is far away, and when she finds someone, my brother is afraid that it will no longer be done.

The tear-eyed girl kept running. In just two miles, she didn't know how many times she had fallen, her clothes were torn, and one knee was dripping with blood.

A figure suddenly flashed in front of her, and the girl was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Rogge unsheathed his sword, pointed it at the girl, and shouted, "What person!"

But the maiden ignored the sharp tip of the sword, and pounced, crying and begging, "Please! Save my brother quickly!

Rogge's nervous face relaxed, he hugged the girl and asked, "What's wrong with your brother?"

"He's fallen under a cliff! Please, help me save him!"

"Where? Take me there!"

The girl was overjoyed, turned and ran, but fell to the ground. Rogge frowned, picked up the girl, placed it on his shoulder, and strode away. The girl's clothes were torn, and large areas of skin were exposed. Roger held her hand right on her thigh. The girl's face turned red and struggled slightly, but Rogge seemed to be afraid that she would fall, so he grabbed it tighter. The girl stopped struggling.

After nearly a month of escaping from the mountains, Rogge has lost a lot of weight. The original smiling fat face also sank a little, adding a little wind and frost marks. At this moment, he was holding a young girl, still leaping on the hill, as if the girl had no weight at all.

The girl was amazed, and looking at the speed and strength of this man, it seemed that Gruba, the most experienced of the young people in the village, could not match him. He's a knight, isn't he? look at his outfit. When the princess in the village chief's book is in trouble, there will be a knight, is he my knight?

The girl's face suddenly turned red, and she secretly scolded herself for being like this, how could she still be cranky! Fortunately, she sat on Rogge's shoulder and would not let him see it, otherwise, she would really be ashamed to death.

Under the guidance of the maiden, Rogge soon reached the cliff. He looked at the bottom of the cliff, turned his head and said, "It seems that you have to go down and see how your brother is doing." Wait for me here!"

The girl grabbed Rogge's arm and asked nervously, "It's dangerous...... There's no rope left, you ...... Is that okay?"

Rogge smiled faintly, patted the girl's hand lightly, untied the long sword backpack, and said, "No problem, I'm a knight after all, how can this mountain cliff be difficult to hold me?"

With that, Rogge turned and climbed down the cliff. The girl crouched on the edge of the cliff and watched as Rog moved deftly from rock to rock until he disappeared into the clouds. She let out a long breath, only to find that her cold sweat had soaked through her clothes, and she had unconsciously clenched her fists just now, and her nails had sunk into the flesh.

Rog leaped easily from cliff to cliff. He was already infinitely powerful, and if he performed a feather fall technique on himself, he could also freely fall a few tens of meters lightly. What's more, he has long been familiar with this mountain cliff?

Rog leaped down and landed lightly on the valley floor. Just now he fell at least twenty meters in this jump, which is the proper performance of a knight? But he is not afraid that the young druid will see it, if he has not fallen to his death, and has seen his own ability, it is a big deal to carry him halfway up the mountain, and throw him down again and fall one more time.

At the bottom of the valley is a dense forest, and many of the branches and leaves of the trees have broken at the moment.

"Looks like this kid is lucky! With these branches in the way, maybe he hasn't fallen to his death!" Rogge thought to himself. He soon found the hapless young druid.

He was covered in blood and fell to the ground motionless. Rog stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, he was not dead, and the druid's body was really strong. If this is a different magician, before he lands and is scratched by the trees on the cliff, it is estimated that half a life will be gone.

Rog treated his wound briefly, tied him to his back, and slowly climbed up the cliff. Naturally, along the way, he deliberately cut his clothes and scratched some wounds.

The wound doesn't have to be serious, as long as there are many. This ability to make easy things look bloody and sweaty was originally Rogge's forte.

Seeing the figure emerge from the fog, the girl's heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, Rog climbed to the top of the cliff and gently placed the young druid on the ground. Seeing that the young druid fell to the ground and did not move, the girl panicked, and immediately pounced on him, shook him vigorously, and began to cry: "Brother, what's wrong with you?

"Shake it a little longer, and he'll be dead. Rogge laughed from the side.

The girl stood up with red and swollen eyes, a little afraid to look at Rogge. Rogge put the young man on his back and said, "Your brother's wound is not light, I can only treat his wound a little." Where is your home? Is there a pastor there? Or a doctor? ”

"Our village is in this direction, about 20 kilometers away. Grandpa Jason, the village chief, is a great druid, and he will definitely have a way to cure my brother!, but we need to hurry!" said the girl, and trotted first.

"My name is Rogge, but I don't know your name yet. ”

"My name is Amy and my brother's name is Cooper. We're all druids, oh, low-level druids of course. But out of the hundreds of people in the village, only twenty are qualified to be druids, and we are the only ones who have brothers and sisters who are druids!" the girl's voice was full of pride.

"It's really amazing! The druids are mysterious and powerful. I've never met a druid, but I didn't expect to meet two at once today. Rogge smiled.

Amy's face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "I've just become a druid." Grandpa Jason, the village chief, has really experienced trouble, and he can even turn into an earth dragon! Mr. Rogge, you must be a very high-ranking knight, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to save my brother from the bottom of the cliff. ”

"I'm just an ordinary knight. Rogge smiled wryly.

Rogge followed Amy unhurriedly, chatting casually with her while observing her closely.

Amy is quite beautiful, the kind of beauty that is slightly intense. She was tall, only half a head lower than Rogge, and years of exercise had given her slender legs, straight hips, and a slender waist. Her skin was slightly a beautiful tan, and it looked very radiant in the sun.

The two chatted slowly, and they talked about many things that interested Rogge.

"Amy, why are you living here, living in isolation?"

"We druids love nature. The village chief said that the world outside the mountain is too dirty and complicated, and those people do not care about nature and animals. They burn entire forests and slaughter animals for their own pleasure. People outside the mountains will also cheat and even slaughter their companions for money. Thousands died in every war between them. Grandpa Jason says that this is not the right world for us druids, and those people will only want to use the power of our druids to achieve their own dirty ends. ”

Rogge was a little silent, this old Jason druid is really extreme! But he is right, he is a person who wants to use the power of these druids to achieve dirty ends.

"Amy, there aren't many druids in your village. What if a demonic beast from the past attacks the village?"

"Warcraft, our village has been guarded by Lord Trirenhuet since ancient times, what Warcraft dares to disturb our village? I remember when I was a child, there was a great drought in the mountains, and hundreds of ogres came out of the mountains. They tried to occupy our village, and they angered Lord Trirenhut, who tore them to shreds and buried them on the hillside and turned them into forest fertilizer. ”

Rogge was overjoyed, but asked casually, "Is this Master Trirenhut the Grand Druid?

"Ah!" said the girl, "Grandpa Jason won't let us say anything about Lord Trirenhuut to outsiders. ”

"Hehe, that's it, then I won't ask. Rogge smiled faintly.

"I ...... I didn't mean that, I didn't mean you were ...... You're an outsider!I didn't mean that!" Amy was about to cry. Yes, he saved his brother, but he still treats him as an outsider.

She became more and more uneasy, and finally made up her mind: "Actually, Lord Trirenhuut is ......."

Rogge reached over a hand, gently covered Amy's mouth, and smiled, "Okay, no need to say it." I don't want you to be scolded by the village chief. He must be fierce. ”

Amy's face flushed, and it seemed that he was too intimate. But did he mean it? Alas, are all knights so personable?

Rogge didn't notice the girl's strange appearance, he was pondering the meaning of "it" with his heart.

There was a sudden silence between the two.

It didn't take long for the druid's village to be in front of you.

"I'll go back and call someone to help you!" said the girl, and she hurried back to the village.

After a while, there was a commotion in the small village, and dozens of people ran out after Amy, led by a tall, handsome young man and an old man, whose legs and feet were not at all below the young people around him.

Rog put Cooper down and handed it to the tall young man. Strangely, the young man was clearly hostile to him.

"Grandpa Jason, is there anything going on with him, brother?" asked Amy anxiously.

After the old man looked at Cooper carefully, he looked up and said, "Don't worry, child." Cooper: He just broke a few small bones, and he'll be fine. In two months, you'll have another brother alive. ”

The old man turned his head, looked Rogge up and down, frowned slightly, and asked, "......Who is this?"

"Grandpa Jason, his name is Rogge, and he was the one who saved my brother. Amy replied hurriedly.

"How did you suddenly come to the depths of this mountain range? I'm curious, no one has ever gone deep into this place before. The young man interjected suddenly.

"Gruba, what do you mean! He saved my brother, and you're going to ask him why he's here!" exclaimed Amy.

Rogge straightened his clothes and replied with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary knight who happens to be passing by." Because it's a bit of a hassle outside, it's going deep into the central mountains. I have no intention of disturbing your peace, and since I have already sent people, it is time for me to go. ”

"Wait, explain your 'trouble' first, you already know the location of our village, you can't just leave!" Gruba stepped forward and blocked Rogge's path.

Rogge smiled on his face and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be so many people to save people! Is this the druid who claims to love nature and peace? Today is really an eye-opener." Lao Tzu crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, do you want to keep Lao Tzu?

Rog looked at the other people in the druid village and said coldly, "If you don't think one person is enough, it's okay to go together." With that, his long sword was unsheathed, and his body glowed with a pale white brilliance. He let out a loud shout, and everyone present felt a slight dizziness in their heads.

Gruba's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but take a step back. I heard that those who can release brilliance with fighting spirit are all very high-level knights! However, he was the highest-ranking druid among the young people in the village, so he could only stop Rog head-on.

"Grandpa Jason! Gruba is not sensible, how can you be like this! Is this the hospitality you usually teach us? Rogge saved my brother, but Gruba treated him so rudely, is this what you said about the heart of the druid!" Amy exclaimed excitedly.

Jason hesitated, he instinctively felt a hint of darkness from Rogge, which made him very uneasy.

At this moment, Rogge's long sword swung slightly, and a white light poured out like water. Gruba only felt a light in his eyes, and for a moment he could barely see anything. Then he felt a huge impact in his abdomen, causing his entire stomach to cramp. He fell to the ground, retching.

A chill came from his neck, and Gruba froze at once, not daring to move.

Rog put his sword on the neck of Gruba, who had fallen to the ground, and looked at the people of the village with a smile. He suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and shouted: "Your secret Lao Tzu is not interested in knowing! This is just to let you know, it is not so easy to keep Lao Tzu! Good intentions are not rewarded, and Lao Tzu will never save any druids in the future!"

With that, Rog unsheathed his sword and turned to leave.

"Mr. Rogge, please stay!" exclaimed Jason.

"You're a very experienced druid, do you want to take me personally?" said Rogge, frowning.

"I wanted to keep you, not in the way of enemies, but in the way of brothers and friends! I had doubts, but you are a man who respects life, and that is our druid's friend. Jason said with a smile.

Rogge was still wary, and said, "Respect for life, you may know that every knight who returns from the battlefield has a lot of blood on his hands. ”

"War is the stupidest act. But not only did you save Cooper, you spared Gruba who offended you, but you bandaged a wounded deer. Yes, I have spied on you, but you need to understand that caution is the principle of survival in this deep mountain. ”

Rogge nodded, his face relaxed. "Now that you've known my whereabouts, you're sure to know that the people who are chasing me are very powerful. I'd be unnecessarily annoying to the village if I stayed, so I thought I'd better leave. I'm going to head north to see if I can survive crossing this central mountain range. ”

Jason smiled and said, "Although the pursuers are strong, we druids also have a way to survive in the forest. I'll send someone to erase all traces of you. In the mountains and jungles, if the druids tried to hide his whereabouts for a friend, no one would be able to find him. ”

Amy cheered, jumped over and hugged Rog's arm, and said, "Can you stay? You can live with me and my brother! Brother, he will definitely want to see you when he wakes up, he always wants to see a real knight! Also, you will love the pine nut cake I baked!"

Seeing the intimacy between Amy and Rogge, Gruba's face turned blue.

That night, Jason entertained Rogge at his home. The village had not seen outsiders arrive for many years, so almost everyone in the village gathered in Jason's yard. Even Cooper, who was not lightly injured, insisted on attending the banquet when he woke up. Only Gruba rested at home because he was not feeling well.

The druid's food is light and natural, with very little meat, which makes Rogge not very happy. Fortunately, the druids are good at winemaking, and the fruit wine is fragrant and refreshing, which makes Rogge feel good at drinking.

Rogge was born as a merchant, not to mention his eloquence, and he was entertained by fine wine, and it didn't take long for him to mingle with the people in the village. The people in the mountains are simple and hospitable, and they advocate men with ability and strength. A knight with high skills like Rogge is naturally the object of attention of many girls. He was easily defeated by even the most experienced druid in the village! The girls gathered around him, grabbed Rog and asked questions.

Amy and Rogge stare at the other girls hostilely.

Even though he was besieged by all the girls, Rogge still didn't forget to pat old Jason from time to time, making him comfortable and happy.

In the middle of the night, the feast finally dispersed. Amy snatched the drunken Rogge out of the hands of the girls and helped him back to his small courtyard.

Old Jason went back to the house to rest, and after a long sleepless night, he suddenly sighed. His wife sat up and asked with concern, "Old man, what's the matter with you, aren't you happy tonight?"

"Old woman, I always had a gut feeling that maybe this Rogue would break the peace of our village. ”

"Old man, in my opinion, he is a good lad, capable, upright, and clever! It would be great if he would join our village. I've been looking at these faces for decades, and you're not annoyed, I'm still annoyed! I think Amy's kid seems to be very interesting to Rogge, and if Amy can keep him, I think it's a great thing! That young man has been very harmful, don't say that you were inferior to him when you were young, even now, I don't think you are necessarily his opponent!"

"But old woman, this young man's origin is certainly not simple. I've been looking after him, and there are more than a hundred of them, and there are a few very experienced guys in there, who almost found me. In my opinion, only the Grand Druid of the Northern 'Wrath of the Sky' can deal with those two leading knights. And, ah, old woman, I always felt that there was a dark aura about that Rogge. ”

"Dead old man, are you old nonsense? That young man is obviously using the Divine Fighting Spirit today! If you look at his sword again, it must be a rare and famous sword blessed by divine power. In my opinion, old woman, even Master Trirenhuut might not have such a good sword! If Rogge were a bad man, he would have gone to such great lengths to save Cooper? I asked Amy, and Rogge happened to be passing by. Let's just talk about the people who are chasing him!, old man, can't you senior druid hide a man in the forest, can't you lead the pursuers in other directions? Even if they find this place, with Mistress Trirenhuut, will we still be afraid of them? You, the older you get, the more timid you are!"

"That's right. It seems that I was overcareful. Alas, when people get old, sometimes they will inevitably be overhearted. I'm just a little worried about Gruba, he seems to like Amy. ”

"That kid is very smart and hardworking. It's just a little arrogant, and it's good to let Rogge frustrate his sharpness this time, so that he doesn't always think that in this world, you are the first and he is the second. Sleep, old man, and to-morrow I have to prepare food for Lord Trirenhuut. ”

Amy settled her brother to sleep and helped Rogge into the guest room before returning to her room. She tossed and turned all night, sleepless all night.
