Chapter 328, The Moon Druid and His Brown Bear Lover (Part 2!) )
PS: Work hard to update, the next thing is the plot of harem farming and improving personal strength, and a Shura field battle is ready to start.
"Aaron, you should come and see this."
Deep in the Hurek Forest, in the Druid's Sacred Grove, Miss Priest motioned for Aaron to come and see her new discovery: "There are a lot of people imprisoned in the Druid's Sacred Grove! ”
Aaron immediately followed Eleanor into the Sacred Forest, and the priesthood led by Miss Priest, the Black Vulture Guard, and others had already taken control of the entire Sacred Forest.
The area of the sacred forest is not very large, covering an area of about 50 hectares, of which the area that belongs to the "sacred forest" in the true sense is only about two hectares, and the pillars of the third ring are composed of three standing stones in the center, nine standing stones in the second ring and 27 standing stones in the third ring.
Standing stones are a symbol of the druids' enclosure of the "Sacred Forest", and the druids like to express that they have considered this place to be the "Holy Forest" through the huge standing stones, each standing stone is 3-9 meters high, which shows that the extreme druid must be a master of earth magic, otherwise dozens of standing stones would not be completed by many great druids in a generation.
"I remember Lady Silverstar told me that there are two kinds of standing stones." Eleanor came to Aaron's side and pointed out to Aaron: "They are magic standing stones and non-magic standing stones, non-magic standing stones are just symbols of honor and enclosure, and magic standing stones can often play the role of guarding, teleporting, echoing, or suppressing volcanoes, suppressing floods, suppressing storms, and suppressing evil beasts." ”
"These standing stones seem to be non-magical standing stones." Eleanor pointed to the standing stone with a large number of druid patterns engraved on the surface, and her face was a little envious: "It seems that it is not bad to live in a place like this?" ”
Aaron squeezed the palm of Miss Priest's hand lightly, and did not speak, and Eleanor immediately gave him a blank look, and led him angrily to see the prisoners in the dungeon.
Both of them already know each other very well, to the point where they can understand each other without words.
Aaron didn't believe that Eleanor really wanted to live around the Sacred Grove, Miss Priest was used to the convenience of town life and the high quality of life provided by Aaron, it was no problem to come to a place like the Sacred Grove for a few days, if you really wanted to live here for a long time, most of the necessities of life like the druid made by herself, and raised her own livestock, it was difficult for Eleanor to say how long she could last.
Eleanor expressed her indignation at Aaron's distrust, and Miss Pastor viciously said that I had not lived a life of self-sufficiency, and that when I was a priest at the open-air altar in Shenhai Town, I also lived in a dormitory and participated in production every day!
Yes, but you can't go back now! Aaron teased with his eyes.
Accustomed to the luxurious life of the Aquitaine, is Eleanor still willing to return to the collective dormitory?
Miss Pastor was speechless, she didn't need to lie to Aaron, so she had to signal Aaron to hurry up.
This guy knows how to bully me! Eleanor said she had a little emotion.
Near the Sacred Grove is the druids' dwellings, there is a very uncomfortable smell here, the smell of chaos corruption, bloody slaughter and shadow is mixed together, the decoration in the cave is relatively primitive, the floor is paved with huge stones, the floor is smooth and shiny, the furniture is also stone furniture, decorated with simple animal skins, and the priesthood of Suren Ma Ma has unleashed some magic in the cave, lighting up the corners of the cave.
There were still some uneaten food scraps on the stone table about ten meters long, and the utensils were very rudimentary, which showed that this group of Sacred Forest Army, or at least the extremist druids, lived very frugally, and they never made a little profit other than necessary expenses.
Passing through the hall, a real large cave appeared in front of Aaron and Eleanor, warm water vapor faintly came from the mountain carved by the earth magic of the druids, more than a dozen rooms were scattered under the huge stone walls, and six hot spring pools gushed out with the geothermal heat, forming an internal circulation of hot spring water under the power of magic, and the sultry smoke exuded a mandala fragrance.
Eleanor was a little unable to walk when she saw the hot spring pool, and Miss Priest loved to take a bath, she was already afraid of the cold, and after the battle in the blizzard, Eleanor wanted to take a hot bath more than ever.
But no one knew if there was a problem with the water, and Eleanor would not risk it, nor would she dare to risk it.
She motioned for Aaron to follow her.
Another entrance to the hot spring cave descends down the stone stairs, just like the sin and decay hidden under the glossy skin of the nobles, and there is also a dungeon hidden in the basement deep in the sacred forest, and the sweltering space of the stone dungeon holds many prisoners, most of whom are dead, and a small number of them are still alive, all of them are so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, their bodies are swollen, and their eyes are deep.
The soldiers outside have been preparing to cook porridge under Maximian's orders, these people have obviously been hungry for a long time, and giving them dry food for the army at this time can easily lead to gastrointestinal problems, which Maximian understands, and some warrior monks often make themselves faint in order to pursue the limits of their physical and mental health.
Among them was a tall man dressed as a druid, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and he was also the only one of the prisoners who looked relatively good, and this person could be said to be scarred, not only between his eyebrows, but also on his wrists, ankles, thighs, chest, and abdomen.
"Are you the leader of this group?" The tall man sat cross-legged on the ground, and he said to Aaron with a wry smile: "Seeing that you are not bad-looking, I prefer to believe that you are a nobleman of the kingdom, or a priest of the Church of Our Lady of Silver, no matter what, since you can come here, you must have defeated Daba, right?" Is he still alive? ”
The tall man had a lot of problems, and Aaron decided not to eat him: "I'm Aaron Sallian, Viscount Cormier Sunset, and this is Eleanor Dinefur, Pastor Suren. ”
"Fortunately, Your Excellency, although I have not heard your name, I can see from these subordinates of yours that you are a very powerful person and respected by them." The tall man said calmly: "This half-elf lady next to you should already belong to you, you are a couple, right?" ”
"You!" Eleanor was immediately blushed by the tall man, and Miss Pastor said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you after all this talking?" Why are you locked up here? What's your relationship with the druids, Tieflins, and bandits? ”
"Hehehe, don't underestimate the perception of a druid, Madam Reverend." The tall man smiled ambiguously, and then his expression became much more serious: "Halsin, the Moon Guild Druid Halsin, is only a prisoner now, and if I have ever had any duty, then I am the guardian of this sacred forest. ”
"Master Thorns locked you in?" Aaron immediately understood.
"It's not me, it's us." The Moon Lodge Druid Halsin sighed, "I thought Dabba Thorn was here to assist me. ”
"I found out later that he was a little ...... It's extreme. ”
"We often quarreled over course of action, and his extreme human plan to wipe out the destruction of nature in the neighborhood quickly gained the support of most of the association's members, I can't tell...... I also have a problem, I need his strength, without him, we can't build the Sacred Grove so well, I hesitated until he secretly encircled a group of druids to publicly abolish my guardianship, and locked me and my supporters here. ”
"It's strange, although Daba used to be extreme, he was not so terrible, and since I found out that he had frequent secret meetings with Mr. Bishop of the nearby Huimin Monastery, his temperament has become more and more strange." Halsin said self-deprecatingly: "All the blame is on me, I didn't do my duty well, I always wanted to unite everyone, and in the end so many members died because of me." ”
Looking at the corpses in the nearby dungeon, the few who were alive had already described the withering, Aaron's gaze immediately became sharp.
Lorgar, you deserve to die!
Bishop Mozgov also escaped with the help of the Demon Primordial.
In the future, he will face this demonic primordial and his dark apostle again.
"I will provide you with enough help, Halsin, I declare you free as Viscount Sunset, I will take over the entire forest, whether you want to stay or leave, I give you a choice."
"If you choose to stay, I can classify this sacred forest and the surrounding area as the 'Moon Association Reserve', in principle, you have the right of autonomy, and I will not interfere with your actions, or even ...... I intend to work with you to develop this forest. ”
"If you choose to leave, I won't stop you, I will send you travel money and food, and send a boat to send you to the headquarters of the Emerald Leisure Garden, and then what you plan to do has nothing to do with me."
"Halsin, what are you going to do?" Aaron questioned the Grand Druid of the Moon Society, and he looked expectant.
In the future, if he wants to develop the Hurek Forest, he will definitely not be able to bypass this sacred forest and the druids, as we all know, there are moderates, centrists and extremists among the druids, and if the druids of the extremists can lock them all in, then these druids led by Halsin should be moderates.
He has a life-saving grace for them, and he is a moderate druid, and the two sides should have a basis for negotiation and cooperation.
There is a sacred forest here, and protecting the sacred forest is the druid's vocation and life goal, even if he drives out all these druids and disbands them, there will definitely be druids from other places who try to come to the Hurek Sacred Forest to establish an organizational settlement, wave after wave, one after another, until someone succeeds.
Some people will surely say, why not just let a bunch of moderate druids come?
Sorry, it's impossible to tell whether a druid will be a moderate, a centrist, or an extremist until they act, and a druid who seems gentle and kind, and who has no quarrel with the world, may have been secretly planning to destroy nearby human activity for years, just waiting for the moment when everything will be activated.
A druid, who seems world-weary and has a strange temper and drives away human activity, may secretly protect villagers, restrain monsters, and destroy evil in his own way, but he never expresses it, and has no interest in telling others what he has done.
That is, it is difficult to know what a druid is thinking before he acts.
Candleburg authorities named it the "Druid's uncertainty theorem".
Instead of opening a blind box, it is better to choose a group of trustworthy ones.
"The members of the club have lost and can reunite, the power of nature will make us one heart, as long as there are still people, there is hope." Halsin hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "Really? Can you promise me? ”
"Yes, I can promise you to keep my word." Aaron nodded: "I can refer to the Wyvern Water Lake as an oath, and I will try my best to meet your needs for the protection and preservation of the Hurek Sacred Forest Area." ”
"Alright, then let's make a gentleman's agreement between us." Halsin also agreed very happily, the Great Druid knew that the strength of the two sides was not equal, and since the other party was able to defeat Dabba Thorn, it meant that he had the strength to slaughter all the remaining moderates, and no one could say anything.
"Yes, that's it!"
Seeing Halsin succumb so easily, Aaron could understand why Daba-Thorn's seizure of power had gone so smoothly.
This guy has a score of 10 or even 9, and is probably a druid of the orderly, good camp.
Good guards have always been easy to bully.
…………
Supported by two black vulture guards to come out of the cave, a large brown bear suddenly rushed out of the nearby forest, which aroused everyone's alarm, and at least ten arrows and five spears were aimed at the giant bear in an instant.
"Wait! Don't hurt her! Wait a minute! Halsin anxiously cried out: "She is not an enemy!" ”
Maximian looked at Aaron, who waved his hand and the soldiers lowered their arms.
The brown bear immediately pounced on the Grand Druid of the Moon Society, rubbing his head against his chin, and Halsin also burst into tears and touched the brown bear's head with his hand: "Great, Fina, you are still alive!" Great, I thought you were dead too! ”
The brown bear was also weeping, and did not speak, but rubbed vigorously in his arms.
"Your pet?" Aaron asked curiously.
"Pets? Fina is not a pet! Halfin was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he quickly said with a red face: "She is my girlfriend!" ”
"Girlfriend ???!!!" Eleanor's mouth opened wide.
This big druid found a bear as his girlfriend?
Although our lord Suren said that love knows no race or national festival, is this a ...... Miss Pastor's eyes became strange.
You pervert!
Again, Aaron felt weird.
Mr. Harsin, your tastes are so unique.
He had played Baldur's Gate before and experienced romantic scenes, but there was no such thing as man and beast, he remembered that there was no such thing as Baldur's Gate.
The kingdom is really an open place.
"It's not! No!!! Halsin hastened to explain, "Fina is human, a druid like me. ”
After saying that, the Great Druid himself blushed: "It's just her...... She loves being like this, especially when she's with me. ”
"Oh~~~~~" Everyone around them subconsciously took a step back, and their eyes changed again.
I see!
You pervert!
Updated, the second more ask for tickets ticket duck!
