Hurek Sacred Grove, the large hot spring baths.

Anyone who comes to the Sacred Forest of Hurek will be amazed at the changes that have changed here for more than a month, not that the changes here have been earth-shattering, but by the speed of compromise and transformation of the druids, and in less than a month after Aaron conquered the Forest of Hurek, he has personally taken action several times to solve the problem of the corruption of the Sacred Forest, and at the same time welcomed back the former guardian of the Sacred Forest, Halsin, while erasing the mark left by the previous guardian Daba-Thorn.

The Sacred Forest was soon given a complete transformation by Aaron, who did not move the core area enclosed by standing stones, and almost responded to the remaining moderate druids, not only contributing money, but also agreeing to the druids' request not to overexploit the forest, and the arable land developed by the Hurek Forest was less than one-twentieth of the total forest area, which was completely acceptable to the druids.

Many people will wonder, what are the druid's criteria for exploiting nature?

The answer is simple, there are no specific criteria.

Moderates, centrists, and extremist druids each have their own mental scales for the level of exploitation of nature, and only an analogy can be proposed here.

If a hunter goes into the forest to hunt in the winter, catches a deer to fill his family's stomachs, and makes some clothes out of deerskin for the winter, then most druids will approve of this, and the druids themselves have to fill their stomachs by hunting and farming.

A hunter goes into the forest to hunt many times in winter, shoots seven or eight deer, not only fills the stomach of the family with venison, but also puts the excess meat and leather on the street to sell it to subsidize the family, so that the family can live a well-to-eat life, this behavior, the druids will begin to divide internally, some druids will think that the hunters are just to make a good life for a family of three, there is nothing to blame, after all, they themselves have to obtain some necessities through trade, and some druids will start to try to stop the hunters' behavior, thinking that they have upset the balance.

A group of hunters established a hunting guild, regularly organized hunting teams into the forest to hunt deer and formed an industrial chain, in this case, most of the druids would think of hitting hard, no longer hesitate.

Therefore, the druids' protection of nature is not only a simple difference between 0 and 1, but a long scale from 0 to 100, if the degree of development of the forest by the nearby residents and nobles is 10, the vast majority of druids will not say anything, if this ratio is pulled to 50, then many druids will plan to start acting.

However, the most troublesome part is here, and it is always difficult for the lords to tell whether a druid is "mild" or "extreme", as a mild druid may show up in the lord's reception room with a strong attitude to protest, use magic to intimidate the villagers, and show his combat prowess to discourage the pioneers, increasing the warning level step by step.

In this case, the moderate druids may be considered "extreme".

An extremist druid may come out to investigate with a pleasant face, quietly give "advice", tell the lord what help he needs, and even show his power by casting magic to increase the yield of the villagers' land, but secretly he may have united with gnolls, bandits, and even more terrifying evil races, providing them with information and luring villagers into traps step by step.

In this case, the extremist druids will instead be considered "moderate".

So when Aaron announced his intention to completely transform the hot spring cave near the Sacred Grove into a hot spring bath and a kingdom sanatorium, the Moon Grand Druid Halsin smiled bitterly at this.

His Excellency Aaron had sworn by the Wyvern Water Lake before, and turned his head to occupy the best land near the Sacred Grove, and shamelessly announced that "cooperation" not only occupied their land, but also asked them druids to work for him.

If it weren't for the fact that the druids who failed in their infighting were all real moderates, there must have been druids who had secretly planted the seeds of "looking for a chance to fight with him".

To put it bluntly, Aaron paid these moderate druids a very high salary, which is very exciting, but as the guardian of the sacred forest, Halsin does not care about the salary, he cares more about how to maintain the unity and balance of nature.

Before he could express his attitude, Halsin was shocked by Aaron.

With the ability to turn stones into gold, the Children of Chaos quickly transformed the hot springs in the cave into countless tricks.

Red Pool of Courage - Soaking in this hot spring can activate muscles, revitalize the soul, accelerate the rate of bleeding and physiological metabolism, and quickly restore the body of the bather and strengthen the strength.

Blue Pool of Wisdom – Soaking in this hot spring nourishes the soul, restores magic, and aids the caster's meditation and control of his or her magical powers.

Healing Green Pool - The bright green pool water can lift almost all curses, repair body parts, repair soul wounds, and after a long bath, there is also a bonus to strengthen the physique.

Rose Purple Pool - A pool full of rose petals with attractive incense can easily remove odors, remove acne pits, scars, blackheads, oil, condition stratum corneum, repair skin barrier, and one-click whitening service.

Halsin still doesn't understand how Aaron did it, he hasn't seen Aaron bring a few boxes of rose petals over, how can that rose purple pool be infinitely bursting with rose petals and incense?

It was as if it was a "whoosh" and appeared from the pool.

Regardless of whether Halsin agrees or not, at least his girlfriend, Fina, who likes to turn into a bear, has agreed, and the female druid is now in love with the hot springs, especially since Aaron promised that the eight druids who stayed in the Sacred Forest could experience the benefits of the hot springs for free without restrictions.

Halsin herself had taken a few dips in the Healing Green Pool, only to feel much better from the dark wounds left by years of incarceration.

Okay, the Moon Grand Druid has compromised again.

Halsin found that her life was a life of compromise.

Hey, I'm such a!

The Grand Druid hung his head in frustration among the standing stones, criticizing his own cowardice.

Failing to protect the sacred forest, failing to protect the association, and failing to handle interpersonal relationships is destined to live a relatively failed life.

Forgive me, O Sivannas, the father of our Lord Oak!

Then he was told that His Excellency Aaron had come.

"Your Excellency is here?" Halsin quickly got up from the ground: "Where is he?" Take me to him! ”

The Moon Grand Druid meets Aaron at the front desk of the spa sanatorium, followed by Maximian, the captain of the Black Vulture Guard of Sunset and the conqueror of the Hurek Forest, Bariel, the high priest of the Sun Elf Arcane, and his new treasurer, Arion.

"Good morning, my Mr. Harsin." Aaron smiled at the Great Druid, "Are you satisfied with the hot springs I built?" ”

"Uh...... Very satisfied, Lord Viscount. Halsin squeezed out a smile and thought to herself, although the result was not bad, you did not fully keep the promise between us!

Forget it, the situation is stronger than people, and it was not clear at the time whether the Sacred Forest Reserve included the cave hot spring area.

Fortunately, Aaron is the chosen person of the Silver Virgin, and if the persecution goes too far, Halsin can at least reason with the Silver Lady Suren through Sivannas, the father of the oak tree.

Thinking of this, the Great Druid's heart was much more comfortable.

It's okay, with the Silver Lady here, Your Excellency the Viscount will definitely not dare to mess around!

"I have something to ask you, Mr. Guardian." Aaron observed for a moment, and saw that Halsin did not particularly resist, and nodded inwardly.

He has already given this group of moderate druids a little chaos shock, and as long as he can always show the corresponding magical ability, it is not difficult to win back their hearts.

His big plans for the future are still without the help of a group of druids.

"If Your Excellency has any questions, I will definitely know everything." Halsin was very cooperative: "I don't know what Your Excellency wants to ask?" ”

"There's no hurry." Aaron waved his hand and smiled, "I've asked your girlfriend, Ms. Fina, to arrange dinner and a hot spring bath for us. ”

"Let's talk while eating, and talk while soaking."

…………

At the same time, on the eve of the Midwinter Festival in 1362 in the valley calendar, Sunset Town, on the shores of Feilongshui Lake, the second phase of Salian Castle.

Within the huge treasure house that is more than ten meters high, the sound of metal clashing and churning is constantly heard.

"Mine, it's all mine! It's all mine! ”

The great dragon dragon Egil was lying on his stomach on the pile of wealth in his treasury (in her opinion, Aaron's own) and tumbling over and over again, her whole body covered with the mature carcass of the conjoined black silk cloak in the field of power and vigorously rubbing against her remaining piles of gold coins and various treasures stolen from the monastery, trying to dye all the money with her own scent, and the human form of Egil did not care to squeeze the new gold lion coins that had just been produced from the Royal Mint of Susar under her with her soft flesh wrapped in fine black silk, She grabbed a gold dragon coin from the trade of Waterdeep City and put it on the corner of her mouth and bit it gently, the satisfying touch made the great dragon dragon feel the joy that came from the deepest instinct of the dragon's soul.

"My money, my wealth, my servants ~ hey, hey, hey, hey~"

(sound of saliva)

In the mountain of treasures, Egil went up and down again and again, back and forth, and his hands wrapped in black silk restlessly interspersed through the pile of wealth over and over again, and he felt very satisfied to see that he had so much money not long after his debut.

"Dragons crave wealth because they are essentially hamsters among large reptiles."

- Arrod Duarte, a dragon scientist

"Dragons collect treasures primarily because they're beautiful—you're never too beautiful, are you? In addition, some treasures are very tasty. ”

CATDANEE, an ancient female golden dragon facing an anthropologist's reply

This primal pleasure made it difficult for Egil to control himself, and the great dragon dragon rolled back and forth in the treasure trove over and over again.

This is a great intellectual and emotional satisfaction that non-dragons cannot experience.

At the same time, the amount of wealth in the treasury also represents the status of the dragon in their social evaluation system to a certain extent, although for the dragon, their strength and status are more based on age, but if they can have an enviable huge treasury, the younger dragon will also have a lot of face in front of the older dragon, on the contrary, if the older dragon cannot reflect the corresponding wealth, then it will be despised by the young dragon with a huge treasury.

Lucky for Egil, since she caught up with Aaron, the rate at which she has accumulated wealth in her treasury has continued to rise, and the dragon dragon is very confident and proud, which is reflected in her increased strength.

Although Aaron sometimes uses her wealth to do something, this is allowed in Egil's eyes, because in the eyes of the great dragon, Aaron is her property, Aaron's territory and castle are her property, and even the entire Cormier who worships her as the "guardian dragon" is her property, and it is easy for Aaron to be moved by Aaron's words to spend her money on long-term investment in her own territory and her minions.

We dragons are very long-lived, and we are originally farsighted~

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

- A brass dragon said to a human friend it could talk to, "I'm going to surprise you in 100 years."

Egir continued to tumble through the treasury, the dragon's innate abilities allowing her to quickly have a rough inventory of the wealth beneath her.

Just then, the door to the treasury suddenly opened, and two half-dragon sisters dressed in warrior robes entered from outside, interrupting Egil's pleasant journey.

"Shui Ya, Huo Yun, what's the matter?" Egil shouted impatiently, her gradient yellow amber iris was as bright as a jewel, but the narrow black vertical pupils in her eyes gave the arrogant and elegant dragon a hint of danger, the waist-length silver-white hair was elegant and wild only with a bright red highlight on her forehead, and the two dragon horns with a slight red gradient in the pitch black twisted back, with a hint of seductive charm under the terrifying dragon power.

The Half-Dragon Sisters are the servants of the Great Dragon Dragon carefully selected from the Half-Dragon Squad cultivated by the Dragon Witch Cult.

"Master." The half-dragon sister hesitated and said, "There is a large group of royal warships docked at the docks. ”

"Her Royal Highness Alice Serre, the Regent, and Her Excellency Charlotte seem to have arrived in Sunset Territory."

"But Lord Aaron is not here, and Lady Eleanor is conducting church services elsewhere."

"I can't find anyone in the territory to receive them for a while."

"Mr. Robert thinks it's rude, and he told us to come to you."

The half-dragon sisters quickly explained the situation in one sentence.

"Oh, it's the guy who underwent the bloodline purification ritual and was beaten into an idiot by me with one punch or two, and he was self-righteous." Egil immediately remembered the previous heads-up between the two, and the big dragon got up from the treasure pile, crossed his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly: "Ahhahahahaha~ Does she want to be beaten by me again?" Human memories are really short~"

"No, Mr. Robert just wants you to receive her on his behalf, and he says you're the hostess of Sunset Collar after all." The half-dragon sister calmly relayed her cousin's words.

"Mistress?" Da Longlong's eyes lit up.

Yes, Mistress, of course I'm the Mistress of Sunset Lord, and Aaron is my servant, am I not the Mistress?

However, the human side seems to say that it is the lord's wife who is the real hostess in the true sense of the word, right?

Egil thought about it and had an idea.

The big dragon dragon dragon claw waved, and said with pride

"Water buds, Huo Yun, bring paper and pen, I want to write an invitation to all the women who are connected with the servants to go to the Sacred Forest Reserve to soak in the rose hot springs created by the servants!"

"Let's use force to determine who is the true mistress of Sunset Collar!"

"Yes, that's it, for Eleanor, for Alice Serre, for Charlotte, for Nestia...... And what kind of fairy princess writes an invitation, this time, the cost is all-inclusive~"

Updated, ask for a ticket duck~
