Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 57: Forest Ritual!

The whole beef and mutton steak was taken out of the truck by the accompanying team, and the stinky smell of raw meat permeated the clearing in the forest.

Those who acted as porters were those who had built roads in the Howling Forest. After all, the ore that was dug and stepped on must have a way to be transported out.

Donald had already said hello to the people here before he came. The altar was set in an open space outside the Howling Forest. This requirement was somewhat strange. Before construction, things like praying are in the religious area. Maybe it's more common, but it's mostly done in private here, and it's rare to do it with such a big fanfare.

It's just that the people here don't dare to say anything. It's better than being asked to work in the forest overnight.

Donald stood in the woods, his palms pressed against the trunk of an ancient tree beside him, rubbing the rough bark texture, his spiritual will has long been connected with this forest, compared to the sluggishness and obscurity in Renas, Howling Forest gave him a completely different feeling.

Every grass and every tree here, as long as he wants, he can completely control it in an instant!

"Mr. Mayor, it is an honor to be invited by you. Do you need any help for us to come here?"

One of several capitalists in Renas City came to ask, and there were many people standing behind him, among them were officials in the Reina City government who were responsible for minerals in the Howling Forest and the managers of the three mining teams currently in the forest. person and the person in charge of the construction party here.

They were all called by Donald yesterday on a whim. Naturally, no one dared to refute the mayor's summons, so they came to the Howling Forest in a daze.

Seeing the altar in the clearing now, I'm gathering and wondering, I really don't understand what Donald asked them to do.

After arguing with each other for a long time, they reluctantly sent a representative to check on the mayor.

"I can't talk about helping, I just want you to witness the sacrifice and the completion of the ore transportation road this time."

Donald didn't expect these people to do anything for him, let alone the people he wanted to do.

"Sacrificial worship, ore transportation road completed... Completed?"

As a capitalist, he can't do anything else. He still has some eyesight in engineering. When he entered the forest just now, he watched all the way. Although the road here has been built for a long time, it is still a long way from completion.

For example, these trees along the way have not been cleaned up, let alone a day or two, it will never be completed within half a month, but now the mayor tells him that the road here is going to be completed, which is a bit of a lie.

Maybe the mayor doesn't understand construction, and unrealistically wants to forcibly let the engineering team here forcibly complete it?

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, a capitalist is a capitalist. In the end, he just smiled and said he knew it, and then went back in silence.

"He doesn't believe you and thinks you're an egomaniac who doesn't know anything about construction work."

With a teasing smile on her face, Stephanie whispered beside Donald.

"Haha, this is normal. If I hear someone else say that to me, I also think he has a mental problem."

For those people's slander, Donald was not very angry, and said with a smile,

"That's why I asked these people to come. Among them were the capitalists of Renas, the officials of the government's core institutions, and the leaders here... When things that seemed unbelievable to them were realized in front of them, These people will really identify with me, and follow me with all their hearts, and frankly, I have to let them know that my will is right!"

"Mr. Mayor, the person in charge of the mineral resources exploration team who was wandering in the forest some time ago is here."

The two of them were chatting here, and someone came from the nearby woodland to convey the message.

"Oh, finally here, dare to do something on my site, go and meet them!"

Donald invited not only Renas' people, he also asked Huxley to speak in advance, wanting to talk to these teams.

Near the altar, Donald met three leaders, two captains of the exploration team, and one leader of the mercenaries, who was responsible for the safety of the exploration team in Howling Forest.

Maybe the people behind them were trying to make trouble for Donald, but the three of them were still quite respectful when they saw Donald approaching.

"The three have been busy lately. Did you find anything in the Howling Forest?"

Donald didn't bother to be polite to them either, and just straight up mentioned what they were doing recently.

"I have to say that your team is very professional. It seems that there are only these mineral resources in the periphery of Howling Forest. We just hope to pick up some of the remaining corners, and we can explain to those gentlemen when we go back."

Obviously, before these people came to the Howling Forest, they were told some things in advance. They knew that Donald had nothing to do with them, so when they met, they put their posture very low without saying a word, which made people feel uncomfortable. To turn against them.

After all, Howling Forest is the property of the Ryan Empire government, not the land of Renas City, nor the private property of Serveit Talos. As long as they obtain a license, they will naturally have the right to mine.

"Well, the idea is good, but I have to remind you that it is not safe in the Howling Forest. Don't look at the outside of the forest, but there are many alien beasts and other strange beings inside. Look, I am today. It is to present a gift to the forest **** who is in charge of this place, and I hope he can protect my team from harm."

Donald Xiang is not a person who likes to kill all the time, and he is willing to give these people a chance to choose.

"Mr. Talos, we have been exploring in the Howling Forest for three days, not to mention exotic beasts, we have never seen even more ferocious beasts, you said there are monsters... I think there should be. Yes, but as long as we linger on the periphery and don't go deeper, I think it's safe."

It is rumored that the Howling Forest is very dangerous. I don't know how many people died in it in the past. It is precisely because of this that they specially hired a team of mercenaries to act as guards. However, they have not encountered any danger in the past few days. By the end, there were no beasts even camping at night, so Donald's warning was not unexpectedly ignored by them.

Of course, he still had to keep his mouth shut, showing that he would definitely be cautious and thankful for the reminder.

Is the outer perimeter of Howling Forest really safe?

That's because Donald gave an order to all the creatures here in advance when he decided to mine minerals. He was not allowed to harm the humans outside the Howling Forest recently!

Otherwise, these guys would have been dragged by the tree people to make fertilizer!

The reminder also reminds that Donald doesn't care what these people do next. They don't want to leave, so he can only "help" them!

The arrangement of the altar was quickly completed.

It is not a very delicate or magnificent altar, it can even be said to be quite simple, just build a two-story high platform with wooden blocks, and then spread a lot of meat blocks in front of it.

No way, the method I only thought of last night, where did I get the time to prepare, and this was originally a cutscene, the real key lies in Donald.

He is the only protagonist of the show.

Walking slowly to the center of the woodland, as the order was issued, there were already many people around.

Donald looked around at the people with mostly doubt and disdain on their faces, and said in a loud voice, "Gentlemen and ladies, just last night, I received instructions from some mysterious being who told me that the Howling Forest is going to be There is a big disaster, if we don’t make sacrifices, the forest **** will anger us, so I have people start preparations overnight, in order to stop him before the danger occurs.”

The people around them still looked at Donald in puzzlement, and the latter's words obviously couldn't make them believe it.

The capitalists and government officials in the rear are even more embarrassed. They think this is undoubtedly a farce, and they are even more embarrassed to participate in the farce.

In the same way, the three people who had been respectful in front of Donald just now were looking at each other under a nearby tree, and some even sneered unabashedly.

The next second, the wind picked up!

At first, it was just a breeze in the forest, but in just a few seconds, it turned into a "huhu~" blast. They blew from all directions and hit everyone in the forest!

Disdain turned into shock, embarrassment turned into solemnity, and those who sneered were staggered directly, and their faces turned pale.

"The great **** of the forest, I bring you the greetings of the black-robed saint, please accept my sincere dedication and allow my subordinates to walk on your territory!"

This set of rhetoric is what Donald is thinking now, and it's a bit dry, but at this time no one cares what he says.

Because at the moment when his voice sounded, the surrounding branches and bushes began to tremble wildly, and the branches and leaves blown by the strong wind suddenly began to condense in the center of the open space. After a while, several "people" composed entirely of branches and leaves appeared. .

In the sound of air-conditioning~lightnovelpub.net~ These people each grabbed a piece of meat about the height of a person and put it on their shoulders, and flew over the forest in front of hundreds of people, and then flew deeper. go.

And this is far from the end.

After the leaf elves left, the entire woodland began to tremble, so everyone heard the cracking of the soil and the dull sound of some kind of huge being stomping on the ground.

They looked around blankly.

They didn't realize what had happened until the tall tree-man in the distance came swaying.

"Welcome and give you the highest respect!"

Donald's voice was carried far away in the gust of wind, and he bowed to greet the huge tree man about 10 meters high.

So everyone who was still watching before began to bow.

What neither of them saw was the tree man's knees bent subconsciously as he bowed to Donald...
