This city lord's mansion banquet has a clear division of labor.

Etilia acts as the host to maintain the atmosphere of the banquet;

Ingrid quietly gathers the druids' preferences: the Avengers leader Yoranta eats nothing, Gema eats everything, the beard loves the cup of sweetly dew, Dade eats several portions of mushrooms, the orcs secretly stuff vegetables with meat in their mouths, and Serana eats nothing, but takes some of each.

Michael and the orc druids got into a fight. The reason for this is that Michael said that a staff with ramming horns could crack a mouse's head, and the orc druid said that a tree root could easily break a nezumi's skull, so they argued about "what weight can break the enemy's skull the fastest".

Annan ...... Annan was having a friendly conversation with Serana. For example, I never knew that there was such a beautiful race in the forest; Is the difference between a deer and a centaur elegant and dexterous?

"Why did you come up with the idea of planting trees? I've never seen a human like you. ”

"Because the earth has nurtured us, I want to do something for the world." Annan was about to answer this when Gema held up the half-bitten berry: "I know, I know!" ”

Annan and Serana talked, and Ingmar's shouting caught the attention of the guests around them.

"An old man planted a forest and was killed by a druid because he built a wooden house. The old man's blood seeped into the mud, and the whole forest grieved for him......"

Gema told the story that she remembered clearly, and Annan had to follow her words: "This old man's story has infected me......"

"That's a shame...... Yolanta, you guys are really doing it wrong. "The tree must believe it.

Annan was a little weak-hearted, but he thought that even if he made it up, could he say that it didn't exist?

But Serana still looked at Annan with those gentle and deep amber eyes, as if everything was under her control.

Didn't get caught in the polygraph...... But who knows if this mysterious race will have another way to discern lies.

"Naturally, I won't thank him." The bark elf Yoranta is still tough.

Annan defended his fictional character at the moment: "But the forest will. ”

"Mr. Yoranta, how many trees have you planted?"

Yoranta didn't answer, and Annan had an answer: "Is it true that the druid avengers only punished those who hurt nature, but did not restore nature even the slightest?" ”

The words of meaning silenced the atmosphere of the banquet, and the druids stared at Annan unkindly.

Annan ignored the gaze around him and said to himself, "You know what? Gem Bay was formerly a wasteland. ”

Ingrid regained her relaxation because she knew that Annan was going to make up stories again.

"But before that, Jewel Bay was part of a forested mountain range. It is densely wooded and shrubs, and countless animals and insects inhabit the ......"

"And our arrival has brought this lost wilderness back to life. Have you seen those skeletons? They love to bask in the sun at their leisure, and many birds land on them...... Just as orcs can be druids, why can't skeletons protect nature? ”

The orc druid, who was hugging Michael, looked up.

"It's not necessarily good that all druids are natural, but it's never good that all druids are druids and Avengers. Vengeance is your motivation, but don't be blinded by the flames......"

The druid avengers looked at Annan with a complicated look, and the human city lord named Annan was right. There are still real enemies in this world, so why be hostile to Annan, who is not so hateful and is a friend of the natural druids?

"I've said it......" Yoranta said softly in a tough tone, "I don't agree with you, but you're not an enemy." ”

Annan, who received an accurate answer, raised his glass: "Respect for nature." ”

Yoranta responded with a glass of juice.

……

This rare banquet lasted all night, and Annan also showed them "The Redemption of Bertal", which best embodied the will of the Free City

"What happened to the city?" Serrana asked with interest.

"Destroyed by the rat people who went north."

Before dawn, the druid avengers said goodbye to Annan's lamentation.

Waving his hand to Gema and Serana, Annan watched as they morphed into birds and disappeared into the sky.

On the distant skyline, the dawn is dawning.

The druids, the Avengers, were destined to be friends rather than partners with Annan. But to Shusu Annan, he asked directly in the tone of an old friend: "What do you think of Liberty City?" ”

"A place to be cherished more than Xingyue Bay."

This is not what Annan wanted, and led Shushu and Dade to the farmland: "Did you see that? The wheat seed that you have improved is germinating......"

But feelings are of little use in front of the tree whiskers that Annan thinks: "Mr. Annan, your territory doesn't need us to thrive......"

"It can't be!" Annan never admits that "we don't know anything about how to breed high-yielding crops and how to make saplings grow quickly." ”

If you don't leave the druid avengers, you can't let the natural druids run away......

"The druids should be ...... in the woods" The tree whiskers are firm.

They stayed in Starmoon Bay because the boreal forest was destroyed by a snow wave, but there was no disaster in Gem Bay...... Unless Annan takes the initiative to make it.

Thinking of this, Annan turned his attention to the other druids.

"Dade, long time no see."

Dade was a half-elf, and the elven veins made her tall, and her brown hair wrapped in dark green vines obscured her degraded pointed ears made her look almost indistinguishable from the elves—except for the lack of elven beauty.

"Long time no see, you...... It seems to be beautiful again. Dade looked at Annan.

Ann ignored her misuse and sighed, "Do you remember when we first met?" We weren't on good terms at all. ”

Dade said shyly, "I thought all humans were rude, but you're different......"

"Do you like Liberty City? I can have the gravel build you a delicate treehouse. ”

Dade looked tangled...... This is a good opportunity, and Annan strikes while the iron is hot: "Mr. Shushu, I can always hire Ms. Dade, right?" Freetown also lacks a Minister of Agriculture. ”

Treebeard didn't refuse: "As long as she's willing to stay." ”

"Treebeard-sama......"

The tree interrupted Dade, who was about to explain, and said seriously, "This is not a test, Dade. You have a lot of responsibilities on your back...... I saw a new way for the druids. ”

"Y-Can I?" Dade was dizzy from the sudden surprise.

"Annan believes in you, then I believe in you too."

Annan, who was standing on the sidelines, thought of the two troubles that the Mad Dog Grand Duke had caused him: the Elemental Elder and the Druid Avengers, all of which had come to naught.

"He must be so angry."
