Preparations for Act 213 (II)
Brando was taken aback by the situation of Druid. The survivors of the Green Tower alone surpassed thousands, and the settlements of Druid apprentices and tree elves have gradually gathered. The number actually exceeded one quarter of the total population of the aboriginal people in the ring of trade winds, which is much better than the tragic scene of ten years after the woe in history. Brando originally thought that it would take a greater price for the Druid to restore history by his own power, but now it seems that he has to do better than he thought. From this, we can see that thousands of players in history may It did not play any role at all, but the two silver wizards William and Turaman played the role of setting the sea god.
The druids greeted them returning from the ring of trade winds with the highest specifications. Although the city is now alive and well, hundreds of high-level druids still extract precious mana from the pool of nature from ten miles away. The wall of roses began to pave the way for Brando to flower. The day the pedestrian arrived at the Green Tower, the whole city almost came out.
The boys were a bit excited, because Brando had joked with them before that maybe there would be elven beauties offering sweet kisses and listening to a few noble children. Of course, the imaginary scene did not appear, the elven girl was still Reserved and conservative, they hid in the woods and looked at these 'foreign' heroes with some caution and curiosity.
There was no fragrant kiss, but at least everyone received a wreath from the elven girl, and Brando had two more, but unfortunately he hadn't had time to see the appearance of the two elven girls who had given him a wreath.
It was Quinelle who led the Druid Elders out to meet them. The leader of the tree elf strode to Brando, opened his arms, hugged the young man and touched his shoulder lightly. This is the highest courtesy of the hunter to his comrades-in-arms. It can be seen that the leader of the tree elf has recognized the glory of fighting alongside Brando. For the elf, this is a life-and-death relationship.
Then Quinn took a step back and said in the tree elf language: "a’atonmesstalar." (The forest and you are evergreen, my friend.)
Fortunately, Brando understood, and he also calmly replied: "atarosdar, x’dormun." (Forever evergreen, long bowstrings.)
There was a hint of surprise on Quinil's face. The language of the tree elves developed from the Mu language was completely different from the mainstream wind elves. He did not expect this human friend to understand the meaning of this sentence, but I was going to explain it after I finished speaking, but I didn't expect that Brando not only understood, but answered in full accordance with the etiquette of the tree elves.
The Druid elders behind Quinill also showed a surprised look. A human being knows their habits very well, which is a very incredible thing in human society. Of course, they did not know that Brando was different from ordinary people. He had 'lived' in many places and knew many humanities and customs that ordinary people did not understand.
At this time Quinelle's face showed a kind smile: "You have not disappointed our expectations, and we will not break our vows. Now you are the lord of this land." He raised his hands and presented his heart. With a white acorn.
Brando was startled when he saw the oak: "This is the fruit of the Holy White Oak? Give me this thing ...?"
In the tradition of tree elves, worship the holy white oak that is regarded as the guardian of all the spirits in the forest and the destination. There is such a holy white oak in the Green Tower where the tinder is stored. It is all elves and drew Yi's spiritual home. Quinill gave him the fruit of this oak tree, which meant to treat him as the Lord. Generally speaking, only Elder Druid had the right to hold the fruit of the Holy White Oak.
"You should know our tradition very well, Brando." Quinill said to Brando, holding the sacred fruit in his hands.
Brando nodded, looking in amazement at Quinnir with a smile and the druids behind him. Could it be that these people would worship because he saved the place? This is a bit outrageous.
Quinill seemed to see Brando's doubts, explaining: "Originally, we and the druids will follow our customs and gradually migrate out of the civilized area and station in the new Black Forest. But Lord Lord, we have carefully considered your proposal. If you really want to open up the path of going back to the ancient sages, we are willing to attach to you. "
"There are also recuperation considerations, right?" Brando asked.
Quiniel's expression of admiration appeared on the face, and as tree elves, they rarely twisted and turned in negotiations. Brando was clearly aware of their habits, and was willing to follow the customs. He nodded: "Yes, we and druids need years to recuperate, and in these years just let us witness you fulfill your promise."
"I'm afraid it's not enough for a few years, but if you just want to see if I'm talking, I don't mind." Brando nodded, ecstatic in his heart. Things went more smoothly than he imagined. He originally said to the druids that those long-term plans were to keep these tree elves, druids, and centaurs. Of course, the Green Tower is now suffering heavy losses. Although the population is better preserved than in history, most of this population is elderly people, children and women. The soldiers suffered heavy losses in the woe, even if they join him, temporarily Nor can it provide much assistance for the next war, at best it is a long-term investment.
But Brando did not make a decision immediately after taking over the oak tree. He thought for a while and said, "But I think we still maintain an alliance. This is my territory, but also your home. We have a common ground. Goals, do n’t need those red tape. "
"Why?" Quinill didn't expect Brando to quit, and he could see that the young man's original goal was this land.
"I need a wholehearted ally, not a subordinate who feels constrained." Brando replied, knowing that the tree elves and druids couldn't get used to living in the way of human society, since he was better than generous Some, Druid and Tree Elf warriors will definitely join his army in order to defend their homeland.
Quinill took a serious look at him, and then he looked back at the other Druid elders, and everyone looked satisfied.
"You are the most different human I have ever seen, Brando, can we be friends?" Quinill asked.
Brando nodded. The friend needed time to witness. He understood the meaning of the tree elf.
"So my friend, can I invite you to our celebration for you?" Quinill smiled slightly.
What he didn't expect was that Brando shook his head this time: "I'm afraid not, Quinill, I need your help."
"help?"
"Yes, I will leave here for a while to return to my territory. But I need a batch of supplies, armor and weapons, and a group of Pegasus that can send us out of the Black Forest as soon as possible." Brando answered Road.
As soon as this word came out, the surroundings calmed down.
Cargalis and Old Swordsman Kuran behind Brando suddenly understood why Brando hadtily led the others back to the Green Tower, and it looked like there was something wrong with the territory.
Quinill was silent.
"Are you in trouble, human friend?"
"Well, my territory is threatened. I have to resolve this little problem before I can come back with you to continue to fulfill our agreement."
"Is it war?"
Brando nodded.
The tall tree elf leader showed a clear look in his eyes. He straightened up, turned to everyone, and shouted to the people in the forest, "Have you heard, our human allies need an army that can fight, he Once I saved everyone here from the darkest place alone and dangerously. Now, my fellow citizens, are you the kind who cares for your life? "
Quinill's voice echoed through the forest. Startled Brando, stunned, of course he knew the status of the Druid side, it is difficult for them to continue to participate in the war. But what the tree elf leader is doing now is convening the army.
"Quinil, you ..."
"I want to fight alongside you, human companions." Quinill smiled slightly at him: "You are right, this is your territory and our home. How can we protect this precious one without bloodshed and battle? treasure?"
No **** answer.
But the elves with long bows came out one by one in the forest, many of them women, because most of the adult males have been killed in wolf disasters. Then there is Centaur, of course, Centaur will not take a step back in the pursuit of the glory of battle.
The druids also responded to the call. Such a group of people are indifferent to the outside world, but it does not mean that they are indifferent inside-just as they once promised, the guarded war is meaningful to them.
Even so, this army of forest foreign exchange gathered only a few hundred people. The druid's loss in the woe was too great, and it was impossible. But to everyone's surprise at this time, the elves had not stood still, and a group of people came out of the forest. They were mercenaries and adventurers. Those humans wore various armors from all over the place, as if they were a beggar-like army, but they all stood up.
After these people came out, the forest was quiet again.
Soon, a man was elected from those people.
"Lord Lord, we can only survive this unfortunate disaster thanks to your favor. Now I heard that you need an army." The bearded man with a bit of embarrassment blinked as the man blinked and asked lazily. "So I ventured to ask, do you need an army that was born specifically for war and is willing to accept your employment?"
Brando suddenly felt a little speechless.
"What kind of price can you offer?" He asked in a deep voice, as if he were really talking about the price.
"How about a gold coin?" The man asked.
Brando looked at him--
"Well, now you are my knights, a gold coin, and I promise to take you to witness my victory." He replied.
Without redundant answers, the mercenaries pulled out their swords and held them up. A forest of swords. Then the elves took their long bows up.
Brando suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Humans and elves stood together after thousands of years. The divine vows of the past seemed to reappear at this moment. No one will forget today's covenant. Everyone who witnesses this moment here, I am afraid will remember it for the rest of their lives.
The young people behind him also pulled out their long swords. Such a scene was so shocking that even Kuran and Mefister, who were not so clear about their destination, couldn't help losing their language ability.
Such an alliance may not seem solid, but in the end it seems to have some magic power that can change everything.
