Chapter 44 Druid
Late at night, Ganon walked to the top of the tower out of boredom to inspect the stone restoration work of the Mother Goddess Temple.
Now under the break-even operating power of the stone, it can maintain five slightly shorter golems working at the same time, two of them are maintaining other things in the tower below, and the remaining three people are doing repair work here.
As Shitou said before, material transportation is actually not a big problem.
Stones can be transported up through the walls and floors of the Endless Tower, and other construction materials can be transported up, and then the construction materials can be repaired to the damaged areas by themselves using a technique similar to that used to construct one's own body.
But after all these processes are completed, only one blank can be completed.
To restore both the temple and the living area to their original appearance, some fine decoration work is required. The workload is still quite large. Without manpower, it is indeed difficult to complete it in a short period of time.
"How did this tower break?" Ganon asked casually.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I can't retrieve the relevant information at the moment." Shitou replied.
"You seem to say this often. Do you really can't remember it, or do you just don't want to say it?" Ganon asked meaningfully.
Ganon had already discovered that the stone was not an ordinary golem.
Stone will faithfully carry out his orders and act in the interests of the Tower of Infinity, but also has a considerable degree of autonomy.
Maybe he would also hide information.
"Please forgive me for my weakness, my lord. Because of the damage to the Endless Tower, there is a lack of information that I can retrieve. When the Endless Tower is repaired to a certain extent, maybe I can answer your questions." Shitou replied respectfully. road.
"Does it mean you can remember it after repairing the tower?" Ganon looked at the stone.
"That's the theory." Shitou replied.
Unable to get an answer from the stone, Ganon gave up further questioning for the time being.
If the Endless Tower was broken, it must have suffered some kind of accident.
Is there any connection between this change and his time travel?
Suddenly, the stone's movement stopped.
Ganon also regained his mind and narrowed his eyes in a certain direction alertly, with the luster of lava flashing in his eyes.
"It's so late, but there are still guests." Ganouen said.
"Yes." Shitou agreed flatly.
"This guest is quite special." Ganon activated the projection of the Watcher in his consciousness.
The projection identified all the surrounding terrain and creatures including the intruders. Ganon focused his attention on the three individuals whose brightness was significantly higher than that of ordinary creatures.
Judging from the outline, they were three wolves walking together. They were heading in a straight line towards the tower. His intuition told Ganon that these guys were not just passing by, but had come here specifically.
Ganon concentrated his mind, and a new picture appeared in his consciousness, showing the specific appearance of the three wolves.
He saw the green aura wrapped around the three wolves, indicating a low threat level.
But if it is a normal wolf, the threat level will not appear in [Watcher]'s recognition.
Not only that, he also saw humanoid shadows floating on the bodies of the three wolves. They were thin and tall and seemed to have pointed ears.
This was recognized by [Watcher]. The true vision of these three wolves and [Watcher] saw through the target's transformation technique.
"Elf?" Ganon was a little surprised.
"This is the natural transformation of a druid. A mid-level druid can master at least one animal form." Shitou explained at the side, "The direction they came from is the Breeze Forest. I'm afraid they are elves from Late Summer. Druid."
The spy sent by Mu Xia?
Ganon's alertness suddenly rose to a higher level, and he was deeply confused at the same time.
Although Helganorn's territory is very close to Breeze Forest, it should be quite far away from the settlement of the Summer Elves deep in the forest.
Helganorn rarely goes to Breeze Forest for activities. Firstly, he does not want to offend the elves of Late Summer. Secondly, the northwest side of Breeze Forest is the territory of another mature female green dragon named Elmira. Both parties covet it. Each other's lives and treasures have been lost for a long time.
In terms of frontal combat strength, there is not much difference between Helganorn and Elmira, but the forest area is obviously more advantageous for the green dragon who is good at hiding in the forest. No matter how arrogant the red dragon is, he will not be inferior in strength. Under similar circumstances, they foolishly went to fight on someone else's home field.
In his memory, Helganorn had never really provoked the elves of Late Summer.
Although this red dragon had hunted elves twice in the outside world a long time ago and was deeply impressed by the delicious taste of elven meat, that was at least thirty years ago.
Moreover, the place where the crime was committed was not near Breeze Forest. The people killed were all travelers and explorers encountered in the countryside. It was not even sure whether they were elves from Late Summer.
A considerable number of humans die every year while traveling outside the civilized world, and the same goes for elves. It is impossible for their country to investigate these unlucky people one by one.
It was almost impossible for Mu Xia to find out about him and take action specifically against an adult red dragon after such a long time.
"Please give orders, my lord." Stone asked Ganon for instructions.
"Capture them all alive, I want to interrogate them carefully!" Ganon immediately gave the order.
The strength of these three elven druids poses almost no threat to him, but it is better not to kill them rashly before figuring out the forces behind them and the reason why they broke into the territory.
Of course, you can't let it go.
"Understood." After the stones finished speaking, they melted into the floor and moved to the bottom of the tower.
Ganon walked directly to the gap in a wall, jumped out from this level, and flew in the direction of the intruder with wings growing on his back.
——
Cohen, who transformed into a wolf, led his companions to quickly approach the Endless Tower.
They were once companions of the same expedition team, but now they are all slaves of the green dragon Elmira.
Just during the day, the green dragon Elmira issued a dangerous mission to Cohen - to go to the west of Breeze Forest to spy on an adult red dragon's lair and check the status of the red dragon.
"That red dragon hasn't been out hunting for a long time. Maybe it's dead or injured. If you can bring back useful information, let me find a chance to occupy that lair. I will let you go free, including you." For the family." Elmira gave such a promise at that time.
They actually didn't believe Elmira's promise, but they couldn't disobey Elmira's orders.
Among the treasures in Elmira's collection was a warlock's magic weapon. With the help of that magic weapon, Elmira issued a powerful curse to her slaves.
Every three days, the cursed person must be pardoned by the holder of the magic weapon, otherwise the curse will occur, making the cursed person miserable. If the curse is not broken or pardoned by the fifth day, the cursed person will die. .
This curse can be lifted with an extraordinary level of purification spell, but it is not so easy for them to find a way out.
Moreover, Elmira had a second insurance policy - the green dragon had attacked their village in the past, kidnapped their families as hostages, and forced them to submit.
They have no choice.
According to the information provided by Elmira, the red dragon lives in a tower in this direction.
It is not difficult for them to approach the tower through the woods. The natural transformation of the druid is one of the best camouflage in this kind of terrain, and they can easily eliminate their own aura and whereabouts.
The key is to investigate the dragon's lair, which requires the stealth abilities they have honed in exploring ruins in the past.
At this moment, Cohen suddenly noticed something and raised his head suddenly.
The druid's "life perception" allows him to sense living creatures within about a hundred meters around him.
Now he could feel that there was a medium-sized creature in the sky swooping towards them at high speed.
That creature has an extremely powerful aura!
