Chapter 225 78. Goodbye Devil
Druids living in the forest are not accustomed to buildings other than tree houses.
But the human lords who make them resentful are right, they need a stable place to rest.
"I feel no malice from that human lord and his people, you can rest assured." The tree man Druid watched the human soldiers put down some gauze and water and exited the mansion, "I Go to his place."
"Dade, you wrongly blamed the human boy." After the tree man Druid went out, the female druid companion complained, "He really wants to help us. ”
"...If he really signs the contract, I am willing to apologize to him." Da De said coldly, but remembered the boy's praise.
“What did I see!”
At this time, the werewolf lying by the window let out a barking exclamation. The druids gathered around and saw human children chasing goblins. play.
“These goblins are not slaves——”
……
"I'm going to transform the place where the druids live into a hospital."
Annan pulled out a map of Xingyue Bay, and the mansion was located in a residential area.
"A hospital?"
"A place where spells, herbs, and alchemy are used to heal the injured."
After the gods no longer responded to faith, the priests lost their magic, and A caster's healing spell is no match for a cleric's healing spell.
There is no doctor in Xingyue Bay yet, but it doesn't matter, there is one in Breeze City.
Knock knock knock——
The guard captain opened the door, and the tree man druid appeared outside the door. Surprisingly, it once again expressed its desire to leave with its companions, saying that the druid They can draw on the energy of the forest to recover from their injuries.
Annan shook his head: "It is spring now, and this forest should not have much power to help you. If you are worried, we can sign a contract later today."
Before replying, the tree man druid asked in confusion: "Human lord, can you tell me why you want to cooperate with the druid?"
"Because I agree with the Druid's philosophy." Annan faced the gaze of the tree man Druid calmly. "People think that the forest is endless and they are cut down arbitrarily... But the fact is that the forest is constantly decreasing. That snow wave in the winter And destroyed a large area of snow forest.”
Before Xingyue Bay develops to the size of Breeze City, the forest north of the Glacier River will only be a forest.
As for why Annan wanted to help a group of elves, werewolves, and troll druids... the answers were already explained by chasing the children and goblins who were running past.
This town is like no other.
The tree man druid returned to his companions. Fast, who had not yet left, looked at Annan complicatedly: "Do you really think so, or is it just an excuse to appease the druid?"
"Is there any difference?"
"One is a good person and the other is a good politician."
"Don't you think the bare north of Xingyue Bay is ugly?" Annan's idea is actually very Simple, "They want to protect the forest, and we want to increase farmland production. There is no conflict, right?"
"But we need to cut down trees, build houses, make fires, and expand our territory."
Fa Ste actually said so much today, he usually looked like he was too lazy to say anything.
"Have you forgotten that we have been planting trees..."
Fast, who fell into silence, returned to the tavern. It's almost dusk, and it's time for the pub to open.
Fast came behind the counter and helped Wood wipe the glass. He came back to his senses when he picked up a slightly sinking wine glass.
"That's my dinner..." Wood said.
Fast looked down at the thick plasma in the cup, said something to clean the cup, walked around the counter and came to the Bronzebeard who was waving to him.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" "You were so distracted when you came back from Annan."
"...I underestimated Annan." Faas Talk to the dwarves.
“What did our succubus lord do again that surprised you?”
"He left those druids behind. I thought Annan wanted to use them, but I didn't expect that he really understood the druids' philosophy and agreed..."
This made Fast irrepressible He thought of the companions of the secret society...
"Do you want to contact the former members to come to Xingyue Bay to help him?" the female dwarf asked.
Fast almost agreed, but still shook his head: "Wait a moment...wait a moment..."
...
"Wait!"
In the blacksmith shop with the door closed, Soruman Bronzebeard, who came back in a hurry, took out the letter paper, jumped on the chair, leaned on the table and wrote:
" My brother Rolling Stone, are you okay? We were forced to disperse in the continent of Allen after the association was broken up... I am in a town, and the lord here is my friend. He identifies with each group just like us... The dwarves , orcs, ratmen, goblins... The elves all live here, and I extend an invitation to you..."
Everything is good in Xingyue Bay, but there are too few dwarves, and there are not as many elves as there are! As one of the first people to know Annan, Bronzebeard couldn't accept this happening.
The blank paper gradually filled up. As soon as Bronzebeard put down his pen, he saw Annan passing by on the street carrying an oil lamp and walking towards the blue dragon's lair.
...
With the magic powder left by the trainee devil rummaged through in his luggage, Annan came to the Blue Dragon's lair.
First, I asked what happened to Ilimoyas, but it refused to answer. The floating ghosts and gesticulating skeletons told Annan the answer: The blue dragon's treasure is not enough to cover the low hill.
"Annan——"
"Your Highness Yilimayas, I have something to ask you..." Annan said before Blue Dragon could speak, "Xingyue Bay's The finances cannot make ends meet, I think..."
"...Intruder! Leave my lair!"
"One more thing..." Annan took out the magic powder at this moment, "I am going to summon the devil, and I hope you can help me identify the contract. I can squeeze out two gold coins from Xingyue Bay's struggling finances..."
"I want five gold coins!"
"Okay"
Annan twisted out the sulfur-smelling magic powder. After the magic power was activated, the powder burned out of thin air like phosphorus powder, forming a circle of mirror-like flames, revealing a strange face.
"...Hello, I'm looking for Brudonna." Annan identified the sheep's identity from its curved horns.
The flames that danced like reliefs clearly revealed the complex emotions of disgust, relief, and surprise of the thin devil, which turned into a common language: "Who are you?"
" Considered her...client?”
The thin devil disappeared into the fire mirror, and not long after, the outline of the trainee devil emerged from the flames.
"The suspected descendant of the Winchet family is you..."
The trainee devil recognized Annan and the blue dragon.
"Who are you? I mean...your identity." She did not see the desire to sacrifice his soul and make a deal with the devil from Annan.
"I am Annan, Annan Reeves."
"Reeves...family? Twelve Kings of the North?" The flaming pupils fell on Annan's black hair.
Annan raised his head proudly. His reputation was known to everyone from the main plane to the bottomless abyss.
