Chapter 224 77. Played by Annan
The lifespan of elves gives them knowledge that is difficult for humans to achieve, and Irilanze is no exception.
Annan asked the elf mentor to come to the port under construction. The stone pile foundation has been laid for the trestle bridge. I don't know if there is still time to repair it. As a result, there was an accidental collision. The elf mentor said that there was no problem with the location of the harbor and that ships could go out to sea and dock freely.
Fabian Clemonger did know some knowledge about the port. He took the opportunity to plead with Annan that he did not dare to frame the King of the North.
Annan chose to open the portal, let the elf mentor return to Breeze City, and handed Fabian Clemonger to Olmedo for investigation: "He is related to Gemma, and don't use punishment. ”
"Why don't you interrogate yourself?"
"There is no dungeon in Xingyue Bay."
In fact, there is a dungeon, and the warden - Della. It's just that Della has a habit of corporally punishing prisoners, and Fabian Clemonger can't get more than a few whippings.
The lively, busy and dangerous day passed. In the early morning of a new day, a patrol team came to tell Annan that the guard captain and the others were back.
The tired recruits crossed the glacier river, while birds with missing feathers and even being carried on their backs gathered on the banks of the glacier river,
Annan could tell without the captain of the guard telling what happened. This group of druids had experienced a brutal battle.
The guard captain's account corroborated Annan's conjecture - the druids were successful at first, relying on disguises to break into the Frost Giant tribe, but they were noticed by the Frost Giant Warlock when they cast the spell, and the spell was not released.
The Druids who are good at guerrilla harassment made a wrong decision. They were blinded by hatred and did not retreat but faced the Frost Giants head-on. The spell was cast to catalyze a nearly ten-meter-tall pine tree, transforming it into a tree man, devastating the Frost Giant camp. The price is that they also suffer heavy losses.
The twenty-odd druids at the time of departure were reduced by nearly one-third.
Annan asked the guard captain to rest and asked Fast to accompany him to the outskirts of Xingyue Bay to meet the druids. However, the guard captain still followed.
"We punished the initiator of the damage to the forest. Thank you for your help, human lord."
"You just punished one of them." Annan shook his head, "Do you know Glacier Port? I was there earlier The sky has been there..."
Annan told the druids about the current situation of Glacier Port without exaggerating and there was no need for it. There was no co-ordination, no planning, the stumps were not removed, and there was a forest that was on fire.
“You want us to help you deal with your enemies?” the female Druid said in disgust.
"I'm just telling a fact, rude Druid." Annan's tone became cold after being targeted again, "Didn't you see that shocking logging field when you came over?"< br>
"Dade." The tree man Druid stopped his companions and wrinkled his face full of grooves: "Human Lord, we are injured and need to rest."
"Sorry... I can't help. , after the turmoil, the priest will not be able to release magic..."
Annan's black eyes were lowered, and the regret and self-blame revealed made it impossible for the druids to be angry with him.
The tree druid was not swayed by emotions. It stared at Annan: "Human Lord, do you want anything?"
"I don't want anything...but I do Want to be friends with the Druid”
"Friends?"
"You don't want us to invade the forest for survival, right? The trees fell sadly, burned in the flames, and broken by the snow tide... You don't want it, and neither do we. But those trees must live, and we must live too... I hope you can teach my farmers how to farm. If you don't believe it, I can make the decision to give you the land in the north to plant trees."
"You. Can humans be so kind?" the female druid asked.
“I have the development order from the Ruikaner royal family, which proves that the two hundred miles around the bay belong to the territory of Xingyue Bay.”
“This is a mutually beneficial cooperation. Can you make it happen? The north will become a forest again, so that the trees in Xingyue Bay will not be destroyed, and we can live in peace with the forest while ensuring farmland. ""Then the forest will be turned into wasteland again."
"Shut up, you idiot. You refused my assistance because of your rude arrogance and wrong prejudice, causing them serious injuries and killing many of their companions."
Every word of Annan All the druids were silenced, and the female druids looked ugly.
“This disaster spans the entire snow-capped mountains and stretches for thousands of miles. You are just one of a group of druids. What do you think a king who protects the north will covet from you?”
After the words fell, a restless dragon roar echoed over Xingyue Bay. The druids were shocked to find that the town in front of them actually housed a giant dragon.
The status of the young human lord seemed to be rising higher and higher, requiring them to look up to him.
At this time, Annan looked at the female Druid and apologized: "Sorry... I said it a bit harshly. But you shouldn't treat a lord who has no malice and releases good intentions like this because of prejudice. , your mind should be as beautiful as your appearance.”
The female druid’s endured anger turned into confusion.
"I believe in this human lord." Then, a druid wearing a leaf cloak looked at Annan: "I have seen you, in the Sunset Plains. Countless trees died, and the charred forest echoed The screams of the dead are in vain, it is you who give relief to the dead trees."
Annan remained silent, he could not say that the fire originated from him...
The tree man druid and his companions were still hesitating, and Annan added another weight: "How about a contract witnessed by the devil?"
Of course they know the effectiveness of the devil's contract.
“But I have a request.”
The druids’ favor turned into vigilance when they heard Annan say: “Druids shouldn’t be good at treatment and recovery? Yours The injuries are not serious, and if we continue on our way, we may continue to lose our troops... My request is that you must stay in Xingyue Bay to rest and let my doctors treat your injuries.”
…
The druids were placed in an empty mansion, and Annan's hospitality was impeccable. Even the bonfire in the fireplace was replaced with coal.
Fast followed Annan back to the house, his face full of disgust:
“You actually used such dirty methods to deal with the druids...”
“ Dirty?”
“Dirty.”
"Why do I think this is a good thing?" Annan looked out the window at the bay. The broken ice blocks were getting fewer and smaller. "Druids have established friendship with humans. Druids have restored forest vegetation. We use very little land to feed a large population... Is it dirty?"
Fast was speechless, only Ability to attack personally: "Are you saying that using politicians' dirty tricks is also a good thing?"
"Swain, did you hear that?"
Annan tilted his head and said to the guard captain: " This guy is slandering your city lord.”
The guard captain who went through the whole process is like a sculpture.
