In the early morning, wisps of mist filled the jungle, like a veil.

Thorne and Andrina walked together on a hazy forest path.

The two of them were almost silent, except for the chirping birds standing on the interlaced branches and leaves, making melodious calls.

"Wait a moment."

Andrina pulled a strand of dew-wet hair behind her ear and stopped walking Thorne.

Thorne stopped, looked at Andrina beside him with doubts, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say that the abandoned tower is in the northwest direction, but now we're going to the northeast, is it wrong? Or do you have other things to do?" Andrina pointed to the directions on both sides asked.

"The tower was strictly forbidden by the leader of Oster, so we need to ask his permission first, otherwise the beasts guarding nearby will block us."

Thorne glanced unexpectedly at the sorceress about being able to identify the direction in the jungle, and then explained to her.

"You're so confident that the old-fashioned leader Oster will agree?" Andrina asked suspiciously.

"Leader Oster is not old-fashioned at all. On the contrary, he is actually very easy to get along with. As long as it does not harm the interests of the half-elf group, he will basically agree." Thorne said without hesitation.

Immediately glanced at her and continued, "If he was really so old-fashioned, he wouldn't allow you, a human warlock, to enter the upper city at all."

"Aren't you a human? You really think of yourself as a half-elf." Andrina asked back, and then laughed and complained.

"These are not important anymore, at least now my race is half-elf, which can't be changed at all, because it has been clearly shown in my appearance."

Thorne lifted the hood covering his head, tucked a few messy strands of hair on his forehead behind his slightly pointed ears, and said in a slightly heavy tone:

"The original world has long since returned, so treat this world as a new life."

...

Passing through the passage in the dense forest, the two went around a few more corners, and finally came to the courtyard where the half-elf leader lived.

From a distance, the misty courtyard looks rudimentary, with two or three log cabins connected side by side surrounded by a fence full of vines.

"Wait here for a while, I'll come when I go." Thorne hesitated in front of the courtyard and instructed Anderina beside him.

"You didn't say that the leader of Oster was easy to get along with. Why did I notice that you hesitated when looking at his courtyard. It seemed that there was something you were afraid of." Andrina looked at Thorne, her beautiful eyes twinkling. For a moment, he asked with a curious smile.

"..." Thorne's face twitched slightly, and then he said helplessly: "Have you heard of the three rural bullies in the real world?"

"The three big bullies in the countryside?" Andrina was startled and shook her head slightly, but she showed a very interested look.

"Forget it, you don't know." Thorne didn't plan to explain in detail.

In Andrina's eyes, she bravely walked towards the closed wooden door of the courtyard.

Um?

When Thorne was about to approach the wooden door, he keenly caught some strange fighting sounds in the yard, as well as the intermittent roar of beasts, which could be judged to be some kind of bear roar from the sound.

However, this roar is more like a wailing.

Suddenly, Thorne noticed the cluttered footsteps and dull growls, as well as the sound of flapping wings approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

His face changed slightly, he immediately turned back and pulled up the confused sorceress Andrina to hide in the bushes beside him.

"boom!"

The gate of the courtyard was suddenly smashed open by two huge grey figures, and the wooden fence and gate snapped.

Thorne immediately cast his eyes.

Two huge brown bears came into his eyes, but the facial expressions of the two brown bears showed deep fear, and the hair on their backs was stained with traces of blood. An uneasy whimper growled.

When Thorne saw the culprit responsible for this, the originally calm face twitched slightly again, as if recalling some terrible shadow.

Chasing after the two brown bears was a **** goose with fluffy fur, which was a little bigger than an ostrich in reality.

It has bony protrusions on its beak and broad wings, and sharp claws on its broad goose paws.

This is a fierce goose.

Thorne recognized the animal's name at a glance.

The so-called ferocious animals are animals that are larger, more ferocious, and more difficult to deal with than their original species.

It is often said that dire beasts, like magical beasts, are mutations caused by the erosion of chaotic magic for a long time, but almost all dire beasts do not use spell-like abilities like most magical beasts.

Their only feature is that they are larger in size, more grumpy, and the number of ferocious animals is very large, almost all of which come from the Great Sword Mark Mountains.

Although the fierce goose in front of Thorne was raised from an egg by the leader of Oster until now, its irritable temper has been eliminated a lot.

However, its active aggression cannot be underestimated. In the Great Sword Mark Mountains, the ferocious geese and ferocious badgers are animals that all adventurers are unwilling to encounter.

These two ferocious animals, as long as you dare to look at it from a distance, they will immediately activate their hidden characteristics: look down on life and death, and do it if they don't agree.

From the weakest goblin kobolds to the hill giants, they all bravely challenged, and the final result is unknown.

The two brown bears did not know who their animal companions were, and they were obviously not the opponents of the fierce goose, and they were chased and fled all the way.

Along with bursts of mourning, the three figures gradually disappeared from the sight of the two.

Seeing the disappearing figure of the dire geese, Thorne and Andrina prepared to come out of the bushes.

Suddenly, two figures walking out of the wooden house came into his sight.

So the two retreated into the bushes again, hiding in the dark to observe.

These were the two druids covered in dark green leather armor, and when Thorne noticed the mark emerging from a bud in the other's heart, he directly guessed their identities.

Druid of the Emerald Court.

Extremist or moderate?

What was their purpose in looking for the leader of Oster?

Two doubts quickly surfaced in Thorne's mind.

At this time, one of the two Druids, the younger one, said to the middle-aged Druid beside him:

"Teacher, the settlement in Xiacheng District just cut down a maple forest, and did not really destroy the balance of nature. Are we doing this too extreme and ruthless."

"They are studying taboo things, which is absolutely not allowed." The middle-aged Druid snorted coldly: "Nature is not mixed with any human affection, whoever dares to destroy it will bear the wrath of nature, only Only those who obey can enjoy the bounty of nature."

"But if we only rely on killing to maintain the balance of nature, then what is the difference between us and the ruthless butcher?" the young Druid man retorted.

"Nature is a kind and loving father, and he is also a ruthless butcher. When they cheer for the victory over nature, it is the beginning of nature's punishment for them." The middle-aged Druid said with indifferent eyes.

"The world is developing with civilization, and civilization will inevitably conflict with nature. What we need to do is to find a new balance between civilization and nature, instead of harnessing the wrath of nature, my mentor." Young Druid Patiently reassured.

"Doing that will only make them endlessly demanding from nature. Only by obeying nature can they feel the way of nature." The middle-aged Druid interrupted the young Druid's words and said:

"Okay, don't say it anymore, the Heruk hobgoblins have been driven out of the Black Pearl Forest and are heading towards the Forest of Tranquility. We are going to give those restless guys a warning now."

"Teacher, Nightingale Walker ordered us to gather at Shadowmoon Valley today to discuss the entire Emerald Field," the young Druid reminded.

"Then go to Shadowmoon Valley first." The middle-aged Druid said with a frown.

After speaking, he immediately turned his eyes to the bushes where Thorne and Andrina were hiding and said, "Come out, don't hide."

Thorne was not surprised when he heard the words, and walked out with Anderina generously.

"Follower of the God of Tracking, I smell a disturbing breath on my body, and I hope that the wrath of nature will not come upon you."

The middle-aged druid's indifferent gaze swept over Thorne's body, with a warning in his tone.

"Thank you for your reminder, naturally guarding, but I think it's enough to kill the enemy with a sharp blade, why should you care about the forger." Thorne looked straight at the middle-aged Druid, and said expressionlessly.

The middle-aged Druid snorted and turned to leave. When the young Druid behind him walked up to Thorne, he whispered, "The Druid is ready to attack the players in the lower city."

After he finished speaking, he immediately picked up the pace and followed.

The extremist druids want to attack the lower city.

Thorne's expression changed slightly when he heard the news, so it must be the reason why they came to find the leader of Oster.

The only thing he couldn't understand was whether the intention of attacking Xiacheng came from the Druid's intention or that of the leader of Oster.
