The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

It can be said that the small piece of land destroyed by the Blighter is dead. Without someone to help drive away the negative energy, plants will never be grown.

"Are there no dryads in this forest?"

Lorenno sensed the surroundings through his original consciousness and did not find any plant-type fey creatures. Logically speaking, such a large forest would have at least 3-5 tree elves, 6-10 treants, and more than double digits of goblins. But she hasn't found it until now, and a bad premonition arises spontaneously.

The plant senses provided some information. There were human soldiers guarding something not far away, and the plants were very anxious about this.

Patting the angry Sha Luo on the shoulder, the half-elf girl said: "Now is not the time to be angry, Sha Luo, do you have a way to communicate with this forest? Find a way to find a tree spirit or tree man to understand the situation."

"pass it to me."

Saluo's face looked ugly. If the ritual could not communicate with any sleeping fey, the answer was obvious. It meant that Saruman had solved them all.

A leaf, a handful of soil, a cup of your own blood, and a few stones. The druid's ritual is very simple. The most important thing is her. The rest does not need anything too expensive.

"Forest, I am Druid Shaluo. Please tell me where the tree spirits and tree people in the forest are now, and call their spirits here..."

The druid girl danced a sacrificial dance. The ceremony was completed half an hour later. Her face was obviously much more relaxed: "They are not dead, they are just sealed. I have contacted their spirits."

Shaluo connected with the treants and tree spirits during the ceremony and learned about recent events from their mouths.

Not long ago, the tree spirits and tree spirits sensed the inexplicable withering and loss of vitality in the forest, so they gathered to explore the truth. At this time, they discovered the breath of the withered ones. The tree spirits and tree spirits did not think much or were simple-minded. He rushed over recklessly, only to fall into the Blighter's trap.

The person who caused the forest to wither was indeed Saruman. There were some soldiers-like humans around him to help him. When the treants and tree spirits rushed over, he activated a magic circle that could temporarily trap them.

And threw in a bottle of strange smoke that was filled with the smell of corruption and negative energy.

The guardians of the forest were all unable to resist. Their active bodies and souls became similar to those before they became tree men or tree spirits. They were confused and unable to extricate themselves, and then turned into ordinary wood on the surface.

Saruman and the soldiers did not cut them down, but extracted vitality from them. The large area of ​​forest withered was also due to his extraction of energy. If the withered ones simply wanted to gain spellcasting ability by damaging the forest, it would not be possible to cause the current situation.

"Let's go and have a look."

Lorenno said, and Shaluo immediately took the lead towards the place where the forest guardian was trapped. The five of them immediately hid after seeing the heavily armed soldiers.

Surrounded by those soldiers, there were many trees crowded together, and some of them had traces of women.

"This is the noble's private soldier."

Fenoa judged that it was impossible for a pure mercenary to have such a large number of soldiers and have such sophisticated equipment, and it was also standard armor.

Lorenno whispered: "Is there any way to wake them up?"

Shaluo said truthfully: "With my strength, I cannot use magic to break Saruman's blockade. I may have to use physical means."

Chapter 262 The rescued tree man

There are magic circles on the outside of those enclosed trees made of human bones and blood full of negative energy. Needles are inserted into the big trees to suck out the sap, and the vitality-filled sap is transferred to a jar outside the magic circles. Lorenno When you get closer, you can also hear the roars and cries of pain caused by the dryads and treemen.

1, 2, 3, 4...

Tapping the number of soldiers, the half-elf girl nodded to the four of them and threw Yousui to Vita: "Get rid of them, then destroy the magic circle, and then work with the guardians to deal with Saruman who may come."

"it is good!"

……

Looking at the gloomy magic circle, the guarding soldiers shuddered. Even in broad daylight in summer, they could feel the strange atmosphere.

"Beep," one of them complained, "I don't know what the wizard promised to the earl, asking us to do such a thing. He is obviously not a normal person at first glance."

"The devil knows, just follow orders and that's it."

"Don't move! Who are you!"

The roar coming from the right made the soldiers immediately turn their weapons and look over. A half-elf stood not far away and looked at them. The captain clenched the hilt of his sword and prepared to kill the uninvited guest, but Lorenno took out the sacred sword in advance. , use it to reveal your identity: "I am the paladin of the Temple of Endless Light. What is that behind you, an evil ritual?!"

The half-elf girl roared angrily, and the guilty soldiers almost surrendered. The soldier captain narrowed his eyes and pretended to be panicked: "That's not the case, Lord Paladin, listen to me. We just discovered this evil ritual just now. We’ve sent someone back to report the location!”

"is it?"

Lorenno cooperated with the acting and looked at the only middle-level person in the group with a puzzled expression.

"Of course!" The captain made a gesture of swearing to the gods, and slowly approached kindly, "You have to...believe me!"

Entering the attack range, the soldier captain immediately put his half-raised hand on the hilt of the sword and swung the sword, trying to kill the young-looking half-elf paladin when he wasn't paying attention. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, but then there was a sound of metal collision. Bring him back to reality.

Lorenno drew out his sacred sword and deflected the captain's weapon in a delicate way. He activated [Demonized Weapon] and [Qi's Sharpness] and stabbed his bare neck under the helmet!

【Tidal wave of action】!

The soldier reacted immediately and with one breath retracted the deflected weapon to block the attack. A black shadow appeared from behind him. Before the captain who had escaped from death could take a breath, Finoa put a silver wire on him and followed her. Pull and let the head fall off completely.

Avoiding the splatter of blood, Lorenno raised his sacred sword and pointed it at the soldiers: "Are you surrendering or resisting?"

These soldiers looked at each other, and for some reason, they immediately showed a stubborn resistance. No one was willing to surrender. The half-elf girl had no choice but to take the sacred long sword and slash at each of them. As usual, nothing could escape from the sword. Good people who survived.

Three were left for Finoa to interrogate. The half-elf girl looked at the ceremony and said, "Just cut it off?"

Shaluo carefully inspected the ritual and finally said: "Well, Lorenno, you have the sacred sword, so you don't have to worry about the negative energy running around, and the guards of the forest are just weak themselves, there is no other problem."

Raising his long sword, Lorenno thrust his sword into the ground carved with the magic circle. The conflict between positive energy and negative energy produced a burning sound. The originally stable formation was disconnected, and the tree people who were forced to sleep felt the restraint begin to lighten. Shaking, the tree spirit detaches from the tree, and the tree man's roots gradually leave the soil.

After she completely chopped off the bone used as a fulcrum, the trapped forest guards finally broke free!

The forest was cheering for their return, and the life energy of the entire forest began to replenish what they had lost. Elsa opened the can that collected life force and poured it on the guard. The dry skin of the tree spirits became shiny, and the withered leaves of the tree men fell and grew. sprouts.

After recovering, the tree leader glanced at the four people and cast his gaze on Shaluo: "Thank you so much - the unknown druid -"

"My name is Shaluo, respected Mr. Shuren,

She raised her head and looked at the tree man, "We are here to kill the forest and the enemy, the Blighter. I hope you can provide us with some clues." "

"Of course!! We will provide you with all the help!! As long as you can kill that damn Blighter!"

At the mention of the withered one, the calm tree man also became extremely angry. The roar spread throughout the forest, and then it calmed down, looked at the four people and said: "Guests from afar, this is not the place to talk. Come with us."

As they left, Finoa followed and nodded to Lorenno, indicating that she knew whose subordinates those soldiers were.

……

The tree man and the tree spirit came to the area with the strongest vitality and sunlight. This area also has magic devices that collect life energy. The manic tree man smashed all the machines, and the tree spirit raised five seats, waiting for Lorenno and the others. Only after taking a seat did the tree stop.

The tall tree man leader took root again and looked at Shaluo with a kind expression: "Druid Shaluo, do you need my help?"

She subconsciously looked at Lorenno. After the half-elf girl murmured a few words, Shaluo said, "Do you know why they want to take away your life force?"

"I don't know," the leader shook his head, and the leaves continued to fall. "Some humans have always been so greedy, haven't they? They want everything."

At this time, a tree spirit said: "I have some guesses, Miss Shaluo, what do you think the heavy life energy can be used for?"

"Treatment, of course."

Shaluo replied, but Lorenno thought of the small piece of tree root he had eaten, frowned and said, "Isn't the Blighter trying to use the huge vitality plundered from the forest to extend his life?"

"It's not impossible, isn't it, lovely half-elf lady."

The tree spirit who opened his mouth winked at Lorenno. Of course, it was not just this one, the others were also posing and posing to attract her attention.

Lorenno ignored the tree spirit and whispered a few words to Shaluo. Shaluo pointed to the Black Pigeon City in the distance and said: "I wonder if the power of the forest fights with that city. Will there be any consequences? The odds.”

The leader was silent for a moment and said honestly: "No, this forest passed through a tree shepherd hundreds of years ago, and we were born only then. There are no legends among us."

To ensure the safety of the town, Shaluo asked again: "Mr. Treeman, can you tell us what the withered one can do? Even if you are trapped by him, you and they have fought against him."

Chapter 263 Saruman’s middleman behavior

After collecting some information from the tree people, Shaluo politely stated that they were leaving. At this time, the oldest tree spirit said: "Druids, why don't you stay here for the night?"

After saying that, the tree spirit looked at Lorenno with a secretive and enchanting look, obviously "uneasy", Shaluo naturally wanted to agree, and the half-elf girl who felt bad suddenly poked her with her finger and rubbed her back. Write a sentence to imply that Shaluo refused the dryads' request to stay overnight.

The refusal that was about to be spoken turned into a polite refusal: "Forget it, it's okay if I'm alone, but my friends may not be used to it, so I'm sorry, we'd better go ahead and let you know when we have to fight the Blighter. .”

Ignoring the tree spirit's pity look, the group returned to the carriage to spend the night.

The hungry tree elf elder sisters looked at the half-elf girl with very aggressive eyes. Lorenno didn't want to get wet in such a place. She was not afraid of something happening, but if Elsa or Elsa was there, Lorenno always felt like he was going to suffer if anyone mentioned it to Connie.

Let's wait until we talk about that kind of thing with Connie. Lorenno doesn't want to talk about it.

What kind of hungry ghost in lust does not value physical pleasure.

……

The next day, Lorenno woke up early, washed up and walked near the withered forest land. After the tree people and tree spirits came back, they started to repair the withered area. The land that was originally full of negative energy sprouted again. .

"Vita, what are you doing?"

The constructed girl squatted on the ground and stared at the bud, seeming to be very interested in its growth.

“Observe how plants grow.”

Vita gradually developed the so-called curiosity. Everything in its mind was data, and it gradually began to want to see the real things in the data. Lorenno nodded clearly and patted her head: "Then Just wait a while before leaving, since everyone hasn’t gotten up yet.”

When Finoa came to look for Lorenno and Vita, the two got up and returned to the carriage. Lorenno picked up the reins and continued to move towards Black Pigeon City.

At this time, in a laboratory in Black Pigeon City, Saruman the Blighter was uncertain about the news that his magic circle had been destroyed.

He set up an alarm program next to his ceremony. Once someone touches it, a message will be sent back. The prompts for accidental intrusion, slow destruction, and rapid destruction are different. In the current situation, the person who destroyed it must have already arrived. Premeditated.

"There are low- and intermediate-level druids chasing us again. Huh, it seems my teachers haven't suffered enough yet."

Saruman smiled arrogantly, and then excitedly turned to look at the green smoke full of life. They were being slowly refined into pure and controllable life force by a magic machine. When the smoke was consumed, the green liquid filled the bottom. vial.

Satisfied, he picked up the imitation water of life, then dropped a drop into another empty bottle, and poured in boiling water

Dilute it into a bottle, take out a packet of black powder, pick up a little with your fingernail and sprinkle it into it.

Put the thick water of life into the dimensional bag. Saruman took the diluted and added water of life to the study and knocked on the door gently, with a respectful smile on his face.

"Come in."

The hoarse voice of old phlegm stuck in his throat made Saruman enter the study. The Blighter opened the door. The old noble with white hair, bald head and cloudy eyes sat in front of the chair. From his energy, it was obvious that he was not going to die soon.

"Eri, you go out first."

The young noble glared at Saruman as he left the room, and the old man looked at the Blighter with longing eyes.

"Dear Lord Count," Saruman stepped forward with surprise and placed the water of life in front of the count. "The water of life has been produced. It can extend your life for one month and can restore your health." In full bloom.”

"Quick! Quickly give it to me!"

Hang Chi - Hang Chi -

The earl was very eager, breathing like a broken bellows. With trembling arms, he picked up the water of life with difficulty. He couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and sip it slowly, refusing to let go of a drop.

His body began to regain its youth at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the white hair on his head became thicker and turned gray. His chaotic brain regained consciousness. When the earl opened his eyes, he had already become 60 or [-] years old. .

"Ah~~!!"

Picking up the mirror with his young and strong hands, the earl couldn't help laughing when he looked at himself in his prime in the mirror. He then patted Saruman on the shoulder, with black lines flashing in his eyes, and said with sincere gratitude: "Saruman Luman, my friend, thank you so much, I would have died long ago without you!"

"It's just a matter of duty, my friend, my Charles."

Saruman hugged the count vigorously, and the count looked at the bottle with enthusiasm: "How long can the forest in my territory extend my life?"

The Blighted One smiled: "At least 100 years."

100 years! !

Earl Charles opened his mouth and was already thinking about what he could do in the next hundred years. He had no idea that the cunning Blighter had gone through the middleman to earn the price difference and took most of his life force as reward, and was still complacent about himself.

Seeing that the time had come, Saruman sighed at the right time and told him about the destruction of the magic circle: "Unfortunately, the magic circle I finally set up was destroyed..."

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing this shocking news, Charles' eyes widened and he smashed the wooden table with one palm. His angry expression was not human-like, and black energy surged on his face: "Who did it, who did it!"

"Probably some druids."

Saruman shook his head and squinted at the count's condition. He shrunk when he heard the druid. The count naturally knew that he would be targeted for plundering the vitality of the forest, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Don't worry, they should be following me." Seeing this, Saruman reassured him, "After all, I am the Blighter."

"Then how can I help you? How about -"

Charles made a knife-like gesture with his hand and slashed his face ferociously. His eyes had been covered by the extended lifespan and black powder, and his fear of druids was quickly forgotten.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I have a way to deal with them," Saruman patted the earl's shoulder to comfort him, "You just need to block the city guardhouse for me and let the city help me search for druids."

"Of course there is no problem, but I hope that the water of life provided to me cannot be cut off."

As soon as the water of life was mentioned, the count in front of him became like a monster, and it was not until Saruman expressed something that he returned to normal: "Haha, this is natural, I will definitely let you live, my best friend! "

After getting rid of Charles, Saruman returned to his workshop and showed a dark and twisted smile. He took out a small square box worn around his neck and took out a small piece of soft object inside. It was covered with energy full of decay and decay. the whole room.
