Chapter 49 Treeman Guard
"Everything I said is true!"
"I saw it all with my own eyes, and the scars on my back are proof of it!"
In the lord's castle, Giorni was vividly describing his sinking state. What I saw and heard in the woods.
In front of Giorni, including Viscount Leon Jimena of Antolia, Aaron, Todd, Fast and other big guys in the territory were also listening to his description.
"That monster is so long and so big..."
Qiaoerni said while gesturing in the air with his hands.
"Bah!"
"Bah!"
"Crush my bagpipe to pieces in one fell swoop!"
Even though several days had passed, there was still obvious panic and fear in Giorni's eyes, as if he hadn't gotten over it yet. I regained my composure in the shadows of that day.
"You're wrong."
After Qiaoerni finally finished telling the story of that day, Aaron simply said.
"No! It's impossible! That's true, you have to believe me!"
Giorni's eyes widened and he objected fiercely.
"Lord Viscount, I suggest giving him a residence in the Thorn Territory City so that the bard can rest in peace." Aaron looked at his young lord.
"I'm not sick. The wound on my back..."
"Todd, do as Butler Aaron said and find a better place to live." Leon ignored Qiaoerni's argument and just mind his own business. said.
"I understand."
After saying that, he ordered the guards around him to "escort" Qiao Erni out.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Leon asked after Qiaoerni left.
"Although what he said sounds a bit unbelievable, it actually doesn't seem to be false."
After pondering for a moment, Aaron finally said: "But this matter must not be publicized. The Antolian people are not afraid, but Shen Mulin It's too close to Antolia. Those refugees who have just been caught here may be afraid, which will inevitably affect the current progress of the project and... the Viscount's land reclamation plan." To be honest, even as a housekeeper
, Aaron really can't understand what his lord is doing right now, and he can't figure out what factual basis the so-called land reclamation plan has.
But Leon was full of confidence in his land reclamation plan, and even boasted about Haikou, which could solve Antolia's food problem, which made Aaron a little unsure for a while.
In addition, there was a precedent of moon velvet before, so even if it was something as outrageous as sprinkling moon mushroom powder on the ground, Aaron followed it to the letter and did not dare to slack off at all.
"Todd is going to send militiamen to keep an eye on the troubadour named Joelny and not allow him to talk nonsense."
After hearing Aaron's opinion, Leon specifically added:
"In addition, send a few agile soldiers Soldier, go to the Sunken Wood Forest and take a look with your own eyes. If what Qiaoerni said is true, those tree-shaped monsters are not likely to move too fast, and they may be able to bring us some more accurate news." "
Qiaoerni I may know something about the monsters I encountered."
Finally, Priest Lapluk, who had never spoken before, spoke, while Aaron and others on the side also left with great interest.
"Oh?"
"Those monsters may be the legendary tree people."
"Treants?"
"Yes."
Fast nodded seriously, and then looked at the lord with confused eyes: " Among the books that the Viscount allowed me to read earlier, there is a description of the tree man."
"Really?"
Leon scratched his head in embarrassment.
Most of his previous reading focused on the field of ancient magic. Although he knew that there were some history books about Asgard stored in the ancient archives, if he read each one carefully, there would not be enough time after all.
Seeing this situation, Fast was unwilling to show off and told everything he knew:
"There are records about tree people in the history of Asgard. Some people say that they are the masters of the mountains and forests. Some people also say that they are the guardians of the God of Nature." "
In short, Lord Viscount, you can relax. If the monsters in the Sunken Wood Forest are really the tree men in the records, then there is a high probability that they will not leave that land, nor will they It will pose a threat to Antolia."
"However... in the books you provided me, Lord Viscount, there is another possibility mentioned." "
What is it?"
"Where there are tree guards, usually The treasures of the God of Nature will be preserved, and there seems to be a similar formulation in the songs of the Lapluk people."
Hearing this, Leon was happy at first, but then he calmed down.
Regardless of whether there are treasures or not, Antolia’s current development direction is the southwest highlands.
The thorn collar old house renovation plan, the southwest highland actual control plan, and the black land improvement plan.
I already had a full schedule of tasks for Antolia, and I bit off more than I could chew. I really didn’t have the time or energy to deal with the tree people in the sunken forest.
Since Fast said that those guys usually don't leave their territory, then just leave them there for now.
"At this moment, the development of the southwest highlands is the top priority. Just keep an eye on the Sunken Wood Forest. As long as the tree guards don't actively harass Antolia, don't provoke those guys." Leon did not hesitate
. The ground sets the tone.
If you give up, you will gain. If you focus on everything in the initial stage, I am afraid that the final result may not be good.
Anyway, if there is a treasure, it cannot escape. It will eventually be held by the Antorians, so there is no need to be too impatient.
"Your Majesty the Viscount is right!"
Fast replied in agreement.
Just like the reason why Leon directly incorporated Fast into the core layer of Antolia is because of Fast's unique identity in the hearts of the Lapruk people.
Fast's previous words were not a test for Leon.
After all, the Lapluk people are not the natives of the Thorn Territory. Only by understanding the temperament of their lord can they determine how much of Leon's previous promises are true and how false.
Obviously, Fast is very satisfied with Leon's decision this time.
At least in Fast's eyes, this young lord could really lead the Lapruk people back to their homeland!
After discussing the threat of the tree people, Leon asked curiously:
"What do you think of Collins? The new mage who came to Antolia."
The magic that Fast had previously performed in front of Collins was certainly not an "accident" ".
As the only mage in the land of Antolia besides Leon who is involved in ancient magic, Fast certainly needs to follow Leon's request to investigate the newly arrived mage.
"This person wants to study magic. I think his purpose in coming to Antolia is probably as he mentioned before, which is to be attracted by the Lord's unique magic." "But...
I said before After all, the testing of him only remains on the surface. It will take time to observe whether he should be exposed to ancient magic."
