"Ingrid, this snow wave has caused heavy losses to this forest. Look, these trees that have grown for decades, hundreds of years, and are far older than us, are lying here sadly because of the snow wave...
"
Annan swept through the wilderness outside Xingyue Bay and included the area they had cut down - the snowstorm helped them bury the evidence in time.
Ingrid's lack of expression stems from her personality and from being accustomed to Annan's whims. For example, putting water elements into the toilet, using limestone to make cement, and using magic lamps as street lights.
"A forest without trees can't be called a forest, right? We need to prepare some tree species and wait until spring to plant new forests in these places covered by snow waves..."
In the peripheral vision, the owl hovering over Xingyue Bay finally fell, and when it was about to land, it turned into a human-shaped figure covered with feathers and painted on.
The captain of the personal guard who was guarding the big house drew his sword, and the guards rushed towards this side.
"Who!"
"I am a druid, taking the liberty of visiting, the lord of mankind." The Cangsand Druid, who was like a tree with wrinkled bark, stretched out his palm and dropped a seed. The seed grew and spread, turning into a strong vine cane.
Ingrid's confusion faded away in an instant.
"The cry of the forest brought us here. Human lord, can you tell us what happened here?"
The tree man, who showed his identity as at least an elite druid, asked.
Annan nodded lightly: "The disaster of the past few days caused a snow tide to accumulate in the snow mountains. The frost giants used the snow tide to break into the forest sea. I personally saw the frost giant wizards driving the snow tide. The trees were breaking, collapsing, and wailing.
.but there is nothing my territory can do.”
"Frost giants...where are they?"
"North, our knights were last seen in the forest about 160 miles away...it is now a wilderness. If you want to investigate, I can lead the way for you."
The tree man druid was surprised by the enthusiastic human lord in front of him.
It would not believe a human lie, but when hovering over the bay, it did see a patch of birch, mixed pine and oak saplings, as well as a dwarf who appeared next to the lord, who did not look like a slave... so De
Rui chose to contact here.
As for why there happen to be no trees around this town, what comes out of the chimneys, and what the big house behind is made of...it's not the Avengers or the Extremists.
"Thank you, Lord of Humanity."
"Sveen, you are leading a group of knights to lead the druid over." Annan and the guard captain said, watching as the druid turned into an owl again and followed the guard captain away.
Bronzebeard laughed and said that Annan was a well-behaved boy like Evelin a few months ago, but now he is like a fox. Annan denied it, and Bronzebeard said that he was a politician.
Annan thinks fox sounds better.
After the snowstorm subsided, Xingyue Bay was reborn with vitality. Waist-deep snow covering the entire Xingyue Bay and planting saplings outside Xingyue Bay would be the first tasks for the residents.
As for planting trees at this time, it seems deliberate...
Annan is a consequentialist, and so is Hope Druid.
…
The owl transformed by the Druid's transformation skill hovered high in the sky, overlooking the simple lair of the frost giant located in the snow buried in the trees. The Druid flew farther and farther, seeing countless camps stretching on the snow-white wilderness.
Frost giant wizards, priests, and enslaved white dragons. The closer to the snow-capped mountains, the stronger the communities that appear, and the epic profession cannot escape after going deep.
They have been planning this for a long time.
The druid stopped going deep into the forest and caught up with the knights who were still returning and returned to Xingyue Bay with them.
There is a price to pay for revenge against the frost giants who destroyed the forest. Will this human lord who is friendly to the druid——
"How can we help you?"
Annan, who did not hesitate much, even made the druid puzzled: "Are you willing to help?"
"These frost giants are powerful, but they should not destroy this vast forest in order to reproduce." Annan said with respect: "But you...actually fought against powerful enemies for the sake of the forest."
Most people sneered at the Druids, thinking that countless ethnic conflicts continued, and death and blood were buried deep in the soil, but the Druids were actually protecting mindless trees... But Annan knew the importance of protecting the environment.
There is another crucial reason - the Sunset Forest gives Olmedo a headache, and the Druids' power in the north will not be weaker than that of the Frost Giants.
"I want to gather my companions, but I'm worried about them leaving."
"Do you want us to contain the frost giants or follow them?"
"As long as I can find them after my companions arrive..."
"Leave it to us."
Annan promised this, thought about it, returned to the big house, and gave it a recording magic stone: "This is something that is popular among us humans. A tree elf also likes magic images very much."
The crystal on the table was persuasive, so the tree druid accepted it.
"The druid will remember your help."
"Druids are friends of the forest, and of course our friends."
Annan's answer made the tree man druid realize that this human being was different from other humans.
"What are you going to do with those trees?" so he asked the logs piled in the corner of the territory.
"They will be eaten away by moths, so I will cremate them the way we do in our territory." Annan answered calmly.
Before the druid left, he gave Annan a bag of pine nuts. This has a similar effect to the potion, but does not require so many trips to the toilet.
Watching the druid transform into an owl and dive into the clouds, it did not ask Annan's name, nor did he say his own name, but exchanging gifts was already good progress.
Annan really wants to help these druids, not only because Star Moon Bay is also facing the threat of Frost Giants.
It is unknown whether the tree man druids believe it, but the people around Annan do not believe it.
Fast sighed and pulled Evelin away. Bronzebeard looked like all warlocks. Victor was annoyed when he saw Annan. Francois was weaving lies about revenge. Only Aunt Susan still asked dotingly.
What does Annan want to eat?
Annan looked at himself to see what had skewed his credibility, but found nothing.
Leaving the matter of keeping an eye on the Frost Giants to the guard captain, Brom is going back to Breeze City.
"I'll go back with you."
There is no need for Annan in Xingyue Bay for the time being. It is time to return to Breeze City to learn the elemental language and get the second magic ring by the way.
It's still Annan and the Howler - Annan still doesn't have a suitable bodyguard.
Before setting off, Annan told Olmedo what was going on here. She said that the druids were indeed suitable allies, as long as they did not break their rules. Then when canceling the portal, the ogre asked: "Where is my gift?"
"
"...I forgot, I will replenish it for you when I return to Breeze City."
The ogre's request reminded Annan that he seemed to have forgotten something... He was confused until Annan returned to Breeze City, separated from Blom's team, and passed by the park of the scavenger headquarters before he suddenly remembered:
