"Just cut down a maple forest and build a settlement for people to live in. These Druids will do something to them. This is not an extreme neutral camp at all. I think they are more inclined to evil."

Andrina looked at the direction where the two druids disappeared and said to Thorne beside her.

"If it was just for the sake of a forest, these extreme druids started a year ago, how could it be delayed until now." Thorne retracted his eyes and shook his head slightly, paused and said:

"As for the real reason, I am afraid that the middle-aged Druid said that they are studying taboos. If what they say is true, then the players in the lower city will really meet the wrath of nature."

"Forbidden things?" Anderina heard the words, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she repeated it subconsciously, and then she pondered a little, and slowly analyzed with a fearful tone in her tone:

"In the Church of the Gods, the creation of life is the most taboo research, and the restrictions are also the most advanced. Often as long as it is found to be biased towards research in this area, the Church of the Gods will make every effort to dispatch priests and destroy them at all costs. , Only after witnessing all the research results and related personnel being burned to a pile of ashes, will they leave with confidence.

The second is the strict restrictions on alchemy products, especially the natural church forces, which are the most severe blows in this area, just like the contradiction between the development of industrial technology and the maintenance of the natural environment.

The priority of life creations and alchemy products is even higher than the demons and the fallen believers of the evil gods who communicate with the lower planes. After all, these evil things are only for evil, and they just need to go back.

Of these two kinds of research, the former research consumes huge souls, and the souls of intelligent life are regarded as private property by the gods, and the loss of a large number of souls can even shake the foundation of the gods.

The latter's destruction of the natural environment is an indelible pain, and it is the deepest pain for the Druids. After all, it is the most correct choice to cut off the root cause of the disaster, rather than spend a lot of time managing a desert.

However, in the study of creatures of life, at least wizards above the high-level have the opportunity to access the taboo knowledge about this aspect. Obviously, people in Xiacheng definitely do not have this ability.

Then they should be making alchemy products. The research direction of these alchemy products must be inclined to steel and gunpowder, which is the so-called firearm products and constructive creatures, otherwise the Druids will not choose to do it. "

"That's right." Thorne nodded and said:

"When they settled here, I knew that they had the idea of ​​researching firearms products, but it hadn't been put into action at the time, and I have no objection to this kind of research that helps to survive.

But this kind of research can only be done in private. If it is put on the public side, it will undoubtedly declare war on all Druids in the Emerald Garden. At that time, it will not only be extreme Druids, moderate and balanced Druids. I am afraid that Yi will come to the town to join in the fun.

Carlos and Torvi are obviously not that stupid. It should be because the confidentiality measures were not done well, and they were accidentally discovered by the druids. The druids are a group of guardians who have the power to communicate with nature. It's really hard to avoid their eyes with a little trick under the natural gaze. "

"In the final analysis, there is a lack of high-level spell caster occupations in our player group. If there are high-level wizards, and all kinds of anti-detection spells are directly arranged, how can they be leaked." Andrina sighed slightly and said helplessly. .

"They are too impatient." Thorne continued:

"And I don't think that shoddy firearms products that are developed without professional guidance are much of a threat to humanoids in the wild.

With that time and energy, it is better to build more arrows with strong penetrating power, so why take such a big risk. "

Although firearms are easier to get started with, ordinary people can play with a little training, unlike bows and arrows that require years of training, but Thorne thinks that the power of firearms is a little bit stretched.

With the player's strength, at most, they can build some flintlock guns, and gunpowder guns are not as effective as they think on those evil creatures with high natural constitutions, such as trolls, ogres, hill giants, and so on.

Even he understands the truth, those people can't understand this problem, so it can't be large-scale research and mass production, it should be only small workshop research, Thorne guessed.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Andrina couldn't help but asked looking at Thorne who was in deep thought.

"What should I do?" Thorne scratched his scalp with a headache, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I have no choice, let them worry about it themselves.

Originally thought that as their strength became stronger, they would be able to assist them in defending Waterfallshang Town, allowing most players to go through the adaptation period in a stable manner, using their original advantages to gradually become stronger.

Then I can go off on my own and travel around the world, which seems to be just wishful thinking on my part, and things are more complicated than I imagined. "

"Let's go, first go and ask the opinion of the leader of Oster." Thorne hammered the messy head, motioning the other party to follow, and then walked into the courtyard.

Andrina was about to speak, noticed Thorne's expression, and finally swallowed it back.

"Thorne, you came just in time. I'm going to talk to you about something. Come in and sit." As soon as the half-elf leader Oster stepped into the door, he saw Thorne and Andrina entering the courtyard. So he said hello directly.

The living room of the half-elf leader's wooden house looks very simple, except for a few tables and chairs made of tree stumps, there are no other redundant buildings.

As priests of the natural gods, most of their clothing, food, housing and transportation tend to be primitive and natural.

Thorne glanced at the half-elf leader with a meticulous expression on his face, and sat directly on the wooden stake chair closest to him.

"Sit down too, this unfamiliar human warlock." Oster noted the slightly hesitant Andrina, and greeted lightly.

"You're here for the Druids of Jade Leisure Court, right?" Oster asked straight to the point when he saw the two were seated.

"That's it." Thorne hesitated after hearing the words, and finally nodded: "I want to know your opinion of Xiacheng District and whether you participated in the operation of Jade Leisure Garden."

"The people in the lower city have destroyed the balance of the town on the waterfall. If they can be completely expelled, it is naturally the best choice for our half-elf tribe."

After Oster finished speaking, he paused deliberately, glanced at Thorne's silent expression and said:

"Although this is very beneficial to us, I have rejected the actions of the Druids. We remain neutral, neither participating in the action nor choosing to resist."

"Isn't there a way to stop it?" Thorne said helplessly.

"If it was before, the Temple of Merika could still reconcile their actions of cutting down trees, but they touched the scales of Jade Xianjing, and they tried to study the forbidden things in vain.

Oster's light blue pupils looked at Thorne with indifference and said, "Sohn, although I still can't understand why you always like to favor them, please don't forget your identity."

"I know, but that is the life of more than a thousand people after all. It is not for the selfish behavior of one person to let them all bear their natural anger." Thorne nodded and sighed.

"You don't even know how terrifying the harm that alchemy products bring to nature." Oster snorted coldly: "Do you know how the Black Pearl Forest in the turbulent year was formed?"

Thorne was stunned for a moment, shook his head to show that he didn't know, and then looked at the sorceress Andrina who was sitting beside him.

"In the turbulent years, the Black Pearl Forest is not a near-primitive forest now, but a construction golem factory built by the wizards of Winter City." Andrina felt Thorne's gaze, thought for a while and said:

"Atmospheric pollution, waste water pollution, chaotic magic erosion, all kinds of natural hazards are flooding the land, and the wizards' construction golem factories are streamlined production methods, and at least 500 construction golems are destroyed every day. Throw yourself into the battle of the Abyssal Demons.

The gloomy sky with thick smoke, the Shadowmoon Inner Sea occupied by sewage, and the rust-smelling earth are the truest description of the Black Pearl Forest in the turbulent year. As for the rest, I am not very clear. "

"Learned warlocks are indeed rare." Oster glanced at Andrina unexpectedly, and continued:

"Of course you don't know the other information, because it is only recorded in the Wizard Tower and the Temple of Nature in Winter City. To put it simply, the final result is that the wrath of nature defeated the group of evil wizards.

But Emerald Leisure Garden also paid a heavy price. In order to completely purify the polluted land, the three legendary druids sacrificed themselves, transformed into the soul of nature, and became part of the Black Pearl Forest. Otherwise, today's black The Pearl Forest is an endless desert. "

Seeing Thorne who was silent, the leader of Oster sighed and said:

"When the druids of the Emerald Garden noticed the subtle changes in the water of the Emerald River, they immediately discovered the source of the calamity and realized the seriousness of the problem. After all, no one wanted the tragedy of the Black Pearl Forest to appear in the Emerald Wilderness. It's a long way off, but I don't think they did anything wrong."

"Then let them immediately stop all research and destroy all facilities, and let the lower city be completely destroyed, doesn't it feel too cruel?" Thorne expressed his views to the half-elf leader.

He has seen the horror of nature's wrath with his own eyes. The extremist Druids don't care whether someone is innocent or not. They like to do it once and for all. They would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

"Why do I feel heartache on you, don't forget, we are also a group of abandoned races, I really don't understand why those people make you so important, can you tell me? Thorne."

Oster noticed Thorne's expression, looked at him a little helplessly and said.

Thorne shook his head slightly, his eyes met the indifferent face of the leader of Oster and said solemnly:

"Leader Oster, this is not heartache, this is sadness, a sense of powerlessness that is helpless in the face of the tragic death of innocent people.

This kind of feeling is like watching your familiar friends fall one by one when the Hobgoblins attacked the upper city half a year ago, but you can only grieve silently and suffer inactively. "

After Thorne's words were finished, the cabin fell into silence.

The half-elf leader took a deep breath, his eyes closed and his face twitched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress something.

After a while...

Oster opened his eyes and said slowly:

"The Goddess of Forest and Ranger is a kind deity, and every time I go to the temple to pray, I can always be infected by the confident smile on her face.

Although death is also a part of the life cycle, his teachings are not as indifferent as the **** of nature. Civilization is also a part of the wilderness. I will go to the temple and explain the reason to the high priest. "

"Then I'll trouble you, Chief Oster." Thorne got up and bowed deeply to Oster.

In any case, he has done his best to achieve this level, and if it is really impossible to save, there is nothing he can do.

"Don't have too much expectations. I just convey my meaning to the temple. As for whether I agree, I can't guarantee it. After all, they have violated the taboo of Jade Leisure Garden. You just pray that it is just someone's selfishness."

After Oster finished speaking, he thought for a while and then said, "I will inform the leaders of the lower city, I hope they can understand what they are doing."

"Is there anything else? Go back if you don't." After Oster finished speaking, he noticed that Thorne didn't mean to leave, and waved his hand tiredly.

"Actually, I came to you this time mainly for the abandoned tower, and I just heard about the news of Jade Leisure Garden." Thorne told the truth.

"So, are you planning to explore that abandoned tower?" Leader Oster looked startled and confirmed again.

"Yes, so I need your permission." Thorne nodded.

"It's a tower left by a group of wizards. The reason why I don't let people approach casually is because I'm worried that the remaining restrictions in it will cause accidental injury to curious people. Since you think you have the ability to explore, then you can do it. It's always like this. No worries."

Oster's light blue eyes stayed on Andrina for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

"One hundred years ago, when my parents hadn't settled here, this place used to be the territory of a Viscount Arda. I don't know what happened. It turned into ruins overnight, and the residents of the town didn't know. traced.

So you'd better be careful. After all, anything related to wizards should be handled with care. "

Oster thought for a while and warned Thorne again.

"I will pay attention, Chief Oster, thank you very much for your generosity and kindness." Thorne said respectfully to Oster again.

After speaking, Thorne turned and left with Anders Lena.

"Wait a minute." When Thorne walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Oster.

Seeing Thorne's doubtful expression when he turned around, Oster sighed slightly: "If you have time, go to the temple to see Lilia's child, she has become unrecognizable to me."

Thorne looked stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt a trace of silence in the words of the leader of Oster.

So he looked at the other person carefully again, and suddenly found that there was a rare twilight on his middle-aged face.

When Thorne's eyes noticed the excessive white hair of the other party, his heart was slightly shocked, he paused for a while, and finally said slowly: "I see, Chief Oster, you... Take good care of your body too.”
