Verse 78. Goodbye devil
Druids living in the forest are not used to building outside of treehouses.
But the human lords who make them feel bad are right, they need a stable place to rest.
"I don't feel any malice from the human lord and his people, you can rest in peace." The Treant Druid watched as the human soldier put down some gauze and clear water and exited the mansion, "I'll go to him." β
"Dade, you're wrong about that human boy." When the Treant Druid went out, the female Druid's companion complained, "He really wants to help us." β
ββ¦β¦ If he does sign the contract, I am willing to apologize to him. Dade snorted, remembering the boy's compliment.
"What do I see!"
At that moment, the werewolves lying by the window let out a barking exclamation, and the druids gathered around to see the human children chasing and playing with the goblins.
"These goblins aren't slavesβ"
β¦β¦
"I'm going to turn the druids into a hospital."
Annan flipped out the map of Xingyue Bay, and the mansion was located in the middle of the residential area.
"Hospital?"
"A place to use spells, herbs, and alchemy to heal the wounded."
After the gods no longer respond to faith, the priest loses his divine powers, and the caster's healing spells cannot be compared to the priest's healing spells.
There's no doctor in Starmoon Bay yet, but that's okay, Breeze City does.
Knock Knock Knock β
The captain of the guard opened the door, and the Treant Druids appeared outside the door, surprisingly saying that they wanted to leave with their companions, saying that the druids could draw on the energy of the forest to heal their injuries.
Annan shook his head: "It's spring, and there shouldn't be much power in this forest to help you." If you're worried, we'll be able to sign the contract later today. β
Before replying, the Treant Druid asked puzzledly, "Human Lord, can you tell me why you want to cooperate with the Druid?" β
"Because I subscribe to the druid's philosophy." Annan calmly met the gaze of the tree man druid, "People think that the forest is endless, and they are cut down wantonly...... But the truth is that forests are decreasing. The snow tide in the dead of winter destroyed large areas of the snow forest. β
Before Starmoon Bay reached the size of Breeze City, the forests north of the glacier river would only be forests.
As for why Annan wants to help a group of elves, werewolves, and troll druids...... Chasing children and goblins running by has already explained the answer.
This town is like no other.
The Treant Druid returned to his companion, and Fast, who had not yet left, looked at Annan with a complicated look: "Do you really think so, or is it just an excuse to appease the druid?" β
"Is there any difference?"
"One is a good guy and the other is a good politician."
"Don't you think the northern part of Xingyue Bay is bare and ugly?" Annan's idea is actually very simple: "They want to protect forests, we want to increase the yield of farmland, and there is no conflict, right?" β
"But we need to cut wood, build houses, light fires, and expand our territory."
Fast actually said so much today, usually he doesn't bother to say anything.
"Have you forgotten that we've been planting trees......
Falling silent, Fast returned to the tavern. It's almost dusk, and it's time for the tavern to open.
Fast came to the back of the counter and helped Wood wipe down his glass, recovering as he picked up a slightly sinking glass.
"That's my dinner......" Wood said.
Fast looked down at the viscous plasma in the cup, said a word to wash the cup, and walked around the counter to the copper whiskers who beckoned to him.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"When you come back from Annan, you won't be able to keep up."
ββ¦β¦ I underestimated Annan. Fast confided in the dwarves.
"What did our succubus lord do that surprised you?"
"He left those druids, I thought Annan wanted to use them, but I didn't expect him to really understand the druids' ideas and agree with ......"
This made Fast think irrepressibly of his fellow Secret Society......
"Do you want to contact a former member to come to Starmoon Bay to help him?" The female dwarf asked.
Fast almost agreed, but shook his head: "Wait...... Wait a minute......"
β¦β¦
"Wait a fart!"
Soruman Copperbeard, who hurried back from the blacksmith's shop with the door closed, took out the letter, jumped into a chair, and lay on the table and wrote:
"My Rolling Stone brother, are you alright? After the union broke up, we were forced to disperse on the continent of Allen...... I'm in a town, and the lord here is my friend, and he's just like us, identifying with each race...... Dwarves, orcs, ratmen, goblins...... The elves live here, and I invite you......"
Everything is good in Xingyue Bay, but there are too few dwarves, and there are not as many elves as there are! As one of the first people to know Annan, Copperbeard couldn't accept this happening.
The blank paper gradually filled, and as soon as Copperbeard put down his pen, he saw Annan passing by the street with an oil lamp and walking towards the Blue Dragon's lair.
β¦β¦
Armed with the magic powder left behind by the apprentice devil that he had rummaged through his luggage, Annan arrived at the Blue Dragon's lair.
First asked what had happened to Elimoas, who refused to answer, it was the fluttering ghost and the skeletal that told Annan that the blue dragon's treasure was not enough to cover the dwarf.
"Annanβ"
"Your Highness Elimoas, I have something I want to ask you for...... Annan said before the blue dragon could speak, "The finances of Starmoon Bay cannot make ends meet, I want to ......"
ββ¦β¦ Intruder! Get out of my lair! β
"One more thing...... "Annan took advantage of this moment to take out the magic powder, "I'm going to summon that devil, I hope you can help me discern the contract." I can squeeze out two kinnars from Starmoon Bay's embarrassing finances as compensation......"
"I want five gold coins!"
"Okay."
Annan twisted out the sulfur-scented magic powder, and when the magic power was activated, the powder burned out of thin air like phosphorus powder, forming a circle of mirror-like flames, revealing an unfamiliar face.
ββ¦β¦ Hello, I'm looking for Brudona. Annan recognized it from its crooked horns.
The embossed flames clearly reveal the complex emotions of disgust, relief, and surprise of the thin devil, and turn them into a common sentence: "Who are you?" β
"It's hers...... Client? β
The thinned devil disappeared into the fire mirror, and it wasn't long before the silhouette of the apprentice devil emerged from the flames.
"Suspected descendant of the Wincht family, it's you ......"
The apprentice devil knew Annan, and he also knew the blue dragon.
"Who are you? I mean...... Your identity. She didn't see in Annan the desire to give her soul to make a deal with the devil.
"I'm Annan, Annan Reeves."
Reeves...... Clan? The Twelve Kings of the North? The flame pupils fell on Annan's black hair.
Annan raised his head proudly, his reputation was known to everyone from the main plane to the bottomless abyss.
