Chapter 40： Ancient locust tree

"If I still have the same nightmare tonight, I will leave tomorrow. Then our last trading place will be Fanyang Port. And if the snow leopard in the dwarves, the swamp leopard in the Swamp of Sorrows, the tiger in Stranglethorn Vale and the black If you can get a leopard, you might as well get some." Habayashi Xueying said: "Anyway, those high elves like to keep this kind of fluffy big cat as a pet. Why do you like raising that thing so much? It’s so hard to be picky about raising a pig!”

If it was normal, Diritis would definitely joke and say: Who would keep a pig as a pet? But now he was not in the mood to laugh at him, he asked anxiously: "Is the legend you said true?"

"It's recorded in our high elf books like this, there should be nothing wrong." Habayashi Xueying said: "Let's stay another night and see, if it's still the same, I think Tirisfal is really not a suitable elf. where we live, you know we elves are sensitive to the changes of nature."

"Then about the followers..." Diritis asked.

"Can it be arranged tomorrow?" Habayashi Xueying said: "Tomorrow is best, I'm afraid I will have the same nightmare every day, and I will not be able to bear it."

"I'll ask you two more people to guard the door at night." Diritis thought for a while and said, "I'll arrange for you to sleep with a girl, maybe that would be better."

Yubayashi Xueying shook his head and said, "There's no need for a girl, just add two more people to guard the door."

After they got home, they separated and went back to their respective rooms. Yubayashi Xueying was mentally prepared and was a little tired after playing for a day, so he fell asleep unknowingly.

Diritis tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, the so-called legend bothered him very much. So he simply got up and lit the oil lamp, and seeing that it was midnight, he walked out of the room. At this time, the butler hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

The two hurried to Habayashi Blood Eagle's room.

The door was open, and the two walked in cautiously, lighting the oil lamps. Under the light, the Habayashi Blood Eagle lying on the bed was pale and frightened, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and muttering sleepily.

Diritis put his ear close to him, only to hear intermittent voices: "Why...why... ah!...You guys... finally saw a living person... Help... Boss, why did maggots crawl out of your eyes..."

Diritis was horrified, and the more he heard it, the more frightened he became. What kind of terrible dream is this? He shook the Yulin Xueying to see that he hadn't woken up, and called him loudly, but he didn't wake up. He couldn't do anything for a while, walking around in the room.

Suddenly Habayashi Xueying yelled in horror, sat up on the bed, still in shock, and didn't even notice that there were two more people in the room.

Diritis dismissed the housekeeper and asked, "The same dream?"

Only then did Yubayashi Xueying realize that there was another person in the room, and he said with palpitations: "It's the same dream, but the situation is a little different."

"Why is it different?" Diritis asked concerned.

Habayashi Xueying calmed down a bit, and slowly spoke out the content of the dream. …Then I ran to the pier and saw the crowd and thought I saw a living person. So we entered the hotel at the pier. I asked the boss for a glass of ale and some side dishes, and told the boss about the Tirisfal Glades.

Unexpectedly, as the innkeeper talked, maggots slowly crawled out of his eyes. I was startled, and then looked at the wine glass in his hand, where is the ale? The cup was thick and disgusting, yellow-green pus and blood, and the dishes on the table were full of wriggling corpses.

Habayashi Xueying couldn't help retching.

Diritis' stomach turned when he heard the nausea, but he still couldn't help asking: "What happened next?"

"Later?" Yubayashi Xueying said: "Of course I ran away. I don't know how long I ran, anyway, everyone was chasing me, the only living person. In the end, I was in a cemetery where I didn't know where. Surrounded. Then layers of zombies rushed over, and then I woke up with a start."

Habayashi Blood Eagle spoke blankly, but suddenly he changed the subject: "Tomorrow I have to leave in the evening at the latest, even if I spend the night on the boat, I don't want to stay in Tirisfal, this place is not suitable for elves to live in. "

"I respect your choice. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange a follower ceremony for you and your followers in the church." Diritis talked to Habayashi Blood Eagle again, and comforted Habayashi Blood Eagle After that, I left with a heavy heart.

Habayashi Xueying was determined to leave tomorrow evening at the latest, because he found that the second nightmare was much longer than the first. He didn't understand why humans didn't have such nightmares, so he tossed and turned on the bed for a while and fell asleep again.

Get up in the morning and wash off. Diritis brought three men and two women, five young people, all in their early 20s, to the Habayashi Blood Eagle.

The five of them stroked their chests and saluted Habayashi Blood Eagle one after another.

"Your Excellency the Baron, these are the five most outstanding prison thieves I know." Diritis said with a smile: "Please forget their ages, they have been trained since childhood, and they are definitely high-level professions. I guarantee my reputation."

"Are you willing to fight such a person?" Habayashi Xueying asked.

"I just want them all to live," Diritis said.

"Okay! Then go to church now?" Habayashi Xueying asked.

"Yes!" Diritis said, "There is a church in the city of Lordaeron.

"Let's go now!" Habayashi Xueying thought it was better to go earlier.

After the five people put on a black cloak, the group got into the carriage and went out. Seeing the doubts in Habayashi Blood Eagle's heart, Diritis said, "I said that I want them to live."

After thinking about it for a while, Yubayashi Xueying understood the reason, and nodded his head in agreement.

Soon the carriage came to the church. Because there are not many people who come in the morning, it is easy for a few people to perform the follower completion ceremony.

When he came out, Yubayashi Xueying always felt that there was a faint connection with these five followers. When he asked Diritis, Diritis was quite surprised, saying that he didn't feel this way during the ceremony. In the end, he said that this may be because you high elves are naturally sensitive to nature and magic, and he is quite envious of it.

After leaving the church, they didn't go back to Diritis' house, but walked towards the pier. Because Habayashi Blood Eagle decided to leave Tirisfal, a place where nightmares often occur, no matter what. Diritis understood him very well, and accompanied him to the port in a carriage, saying that he was going to see him off.

The carriage moved slowly through the Tirisfal forest. Yulin Xueying was restless, always feeling that there was always a faint voice calling him in the bottom of his heart, but it was not very clear. He raised the curtain of the carriage to look out, and finally fixed his eyes on an ancient locust tree by the roadside.

Diritis saw his uneasiness and said, "You seem to be in a bad state."

"It's calling me!" Habayashi Blood Eagle said while looking at the old locust tree.

"Ancient locust tree?" Dirritis looked at the old locust tree suspiciously, doubts abounding in his heart.

Habayashi Xueying nodded, without speaking, the carriage stopped beside the ancient locust tree. Diritis found that the ancient locust tree seemed to be alive, exuding joy, and the leaves of the whole tree rustled. The five thieves in the carriage looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

Yubayashi Xueying jumped out of the carriage and walked under the tree, stretched out his hand to caress the old locust tree and said, "Are you calling me? Friend!"

The old locust tree shook its leaves vigorously, while the blood eagle of the habayashi remained silent.

After a while, Habayashi Blood Eagle sighed: "It's a pity, friend, I can't do it. You know, this is the human kingdom, and I'm just a baron of the high elves, so I can't do it."

Guhuai trembled again.

"Are you really going to do this? Maybe things won't get so bad?" Habayashi Xueying said.

Guhuai trembled for a while.

"Okay! I promise you, bring your child." Habayashi Xueying said.

Then Diritis and his five thieves witnessed a scene they had never seen before.

Under the old locust tree, a small sapling only one foot high grew up rapidly. When it grows to a height of one meter, it does not increase in height but grows horizontally, becomes thicker, and stretches out human-like arms, and gradually even fingers grow out.

After a while, the growth stops. The small human-shaped tree was pulled out from the ground, and with two short legs, it walked to Yulin Xueying, holding his hand with one hand, and stroking the old locust tree with the other.

The old pagoda tree rustled and shook. Yulin Xueying's face darkened, he bid farewell to the old locust tree, and took the little tree man into the carriage and drove slowly all the way.

Diritis and the others have never seen UU reading this kind of treant who most like to live in places with elves. They all observed the little tree man very curiously.

Diritis noticed the sad expression on Habayashi Blood Eagle's face and said, "You look quite sad."

"The old locust tree begged to save the forest, but I couldn't do it." Yubayashi Xueying said.

"Save the forest? Isn't the forest good?" Diritis asked strangely.

"It's fine now, but not necessarily in the future." Yubayashi Xueying said.

"What's going to happen next?" Diritis asked.

"I don't know." Habayashi Xueying shook his head and said.

In fact, he knew, because the old pagoda tree told him that the underground vengeful spirits were about to move. So does it mean that Arthas is about to be born? If not, then why? He doesn't quite know this yet.

Because Arthas was born, all Tirisfal Glades will whisper his name, Arthas. He felt that it was more likely that Arthas would be born soon.

"Is the person who has been following us all the time one of yours?" Habayashi Xueying suddenly asked.

"Is there someone following us all the time?" Diritis asked in surprise.

"The old locust tree told me that they have been hanging behind since we walked out of Lordaeron. The old locust tree said that the woods also felt their hostility, so let me be careful." Habayashi Blood Eagle said.

"It must be the Earl's man!" Dirritis exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect to be discovered by them, let's go."

"There are seven people." Habayashi Xueying said, "Follow after 300 meters."

The five thieves glanced at each other and said, "Let's go and deal with them!" After finishing speaking, they looked at Habayashi Blood Eagle firmly.

After the ceremony, Habayashi Blood Eagle was their master.
