Chapter 714 Ranger and Forest Goddess

His unique development concept made the tree spirits intoxicated and delighted.

Because it was highly consistent with the doctrine advocated by the Forest Queen, Mielikki's reputation among humans and other non-natural creatures was even higher than that of her father, the God of Nature, Silvanus, because of her relatively mild doctrine.

She believed that all intelligent creatures could coexist harmoniously with nature, without the need to destroy each other, and there was no need to be afraid of the wilderness, but should embrace it. The way of nature in the wilderness was not evil.

She also regarded those non-natural intelligent creatures as part of nature. In many wilderness areas, Mielikki's rangers were often the only line of defense against danger. Many people believed that her priests and believers were far more willing to find a balance between civilization development and protection of nature than the believers of Silvanus and the elves hiding in the forest.

Although this view is not necessarily correct, and does not necessarily apply to all Mielikki believers.

But she is indeed an important buffer zone between those natural gods who value nature more, effectively preventing more wars from breaking out.

"I was thinking of observing you before I showed up again, but now it seems that I was worrying too much. You have a longer vision than me in harmonious development."

A brilliant green light bloomed from the body of the Dryad Queen Ladanasi, and a young girl walked out with light and vigorous steps.

Her long golden hair was covered with beautiful hair accessories made of green leaves and golden moss, and she was wearing a yellow-green tulle dress. Her appearance was comparable to that of Lord Virginia and the Dryad Queen, but the confidence she exuded from the inside out was not comparable to the two of them, as if there was nothing in the world that could stump her.

"Your Majesty!"

"Madam!"

Not only did the dryads bow to her, but even Gavin and Lord Virginia did so immediately.

Because she is the guardian of all creatures in the forest, the daughter of nature, and a divine incarnation of the forest queen Mielikki.

From the beginning to the end, she was lurking in Ladanasi's body, like a possession, listening to what she heard, seeing what she saw, and smelling what she heard.

Her appearance here was not unexpected by Gavin and Lord Virginia.

Whether it was killing the totem incarnation of the hunting god Mala or the current situation of the dragon oak mother tree, it was a great honor for her. I believe that she has been paying attention to the dragon oak mother tree for a long time, which is proved by the fact that Ladanasi had heard of Gavin's name.

In Faerun, there is no better mouthpiece than the gods. When they notice something, their believers will definitely pay close attention to it.

Gavin now has rich experience in dealing with the gods. He no longer thinks about how to honor them. He just does his own things. When they do something that is enough to honor them in their priestly field, they will naturally show up.

This is obviously the case with Mielikki.

As the same incarnation of divinity, the forest queen is incomparable to the lady of strategy and the hunting god.

The Lady of Strategy is a weak power that has just ascended to godhood, and only has a third-level godhood.

The God of Hunting is stronger, and now barely touches the edge of weak godhood, with a sixth to seventh-level godhood, but the spirit of the blue bear totem he just stole from Uthgar, and has not yet been digested, and has not yet completed the connection with his own strength, and is even inferior to the incarnation of the Lady of Strategy.

The Goddess of Forest and Ranger is an old-fashioned medium-level godhood, with at least thirteenth or fourteenth-level godhood. The incarnation of divinity that descended is probably more powerful than the original body of the first two.

In front of the vast natural power she faintly revealed, even the Dragon Oak Mother Tree became a star in front of the bright moon, dim and without light.

No matter how powerful the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is, it is just a tree, a tree supported by 100,000 souls.

The Queen of the Forest represents the forest, not only those of Faerun, Toril, and the Feywild, but also those of other planes of the multiverse, sheltering tens of billions of creatures and having hundreds of millions of believers.

How can the two be comparable?

Even if the other party only sent down an incarnation of divinity.

"No need to be polite." Mielikki smiled and nodded to Gavin and Lord Virginia, "You have created something incredible. Now it's not just me who is paying attention to your every move. Many people have high hopes for you and your mother tree. I hope you will not go against your original intention and use it in the most correct direction."

The forest queen was talking about the dragon oak dream and the dragon oak mother tree.

Even if those natural gods didn't notice the dragon oak mother tree at first, they had to pay attention after they activated the dragon oak mother tree in Dalaoma and slapped the root of Moando's god to death.

They didn't intervene before, probably because they wanted to see how far Gavin and his men could do with their own abilities.

This is the consistent attitude of most natural gods.

To put it nicely, do nothing and let nature take its course.

To put it bluntly, it's just indifferent observation.

Unless they deliberately destroy nature, they won't intervene directly.

"We plan to turn the Dragon Oak Mother Tree into a vanguard against the forces of darkness, and fully exploit the Mother Tree's purification effect on decay, corruption, and corrupt forces. When the time comes, we will be ready to go wherever there is a need. If possible, I want to help our Mother Tree seize the corrupt priesthood. Since the lady is in charge of the autumn priesthood, she should know best that normal decay is an important part of the natural cycle. I hope to dedicate this honor to the lady at that time."

Gavin did not hide anything from their plans, including the matter of spying on the corrupt priesthood.

Since an incarnation of a god personally descended on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and entered the Dragon Oak Dream, it is impossible to hide the dream divinity and the corrupt divinity, including the dream divinity spark.

It is better to be clear than to do this.

In front of ordinary people, the god of corruption, Moando, is showing off his power.

In front of these powerful natural gods, he is really not even a dish.

However, these natural gods did not personally kill him, which shows that his priesthood is necessary. As long as there is a need, he cannot completely kill it. Even if Moando dies, there will be Anmodo and Duoanmo.

Once the corrupt and decadent priesthood falls into the hands of other dark and evil gods, it will merge with their priesthoods and give birth to more difficult dark forces, which will be the most troublesome.

For example, the goddess of poison and disease Talona has been eyeing this priesthood. It is said that the death of Moando this time was her work, but it was a pity that she failed to succeed.

And these natural gods are very afraid of this kind of dark priesthood, and dare not take charge personally, because if they are not careful, they will be corrupted and fall into darkness, and they often have to pay a heavy price to get rid of it.

There is a precedent for this. The goddess of luck, Tymora, and the goddess of misfortune, Benshaba, were originally one, named Taj, who was in charge of both luck and misfortune. However, they were corrupted by the dark power due to the conspiracy of Moando, and had to be split into two with the help of the moon goddess, Sulun, and other gods and allies, to survive.

Gavin saw this point, which is definitely something that all natural gods would like to see happen.

Mielikki was not as surprised as Gavin expected, but was stunned for a moment, as if shocked by the size of his plot. The smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she said in a very serious expression: "Do you know what you are doing? Don't think that you are qualified to plot for Moando's power just because you have purified the root of a god. He has been managing the fallen and corrupt priesthood for many years, and the two are entangled and difficult to distinguish.

Once you try to get involved in the corrupt priesthood, you will inevitably be entangled by his corrupt priesthood. If you are not careful, your mother tree will fall into darkness, and it is not strange for Moando to be reborn on it."

The Queen of the Forest has been fighting against the fallen and corrupt god for many years, and she knows this old opponent best.

If the matter can really be solved by supporting a corrupt priesthood to take charge of the gods, they would have done so long ago.

In other words, it's not that they haven't tried, but they have failed repeatedly. They are either led into darkness by Moando's corrupt power and become natural enemies to cause greater damage, or they are used by Moando as a tool for rebirth. Many forest scars that are still difficult to heal are caused by this.

Gavin sighed in his heart. This forest lady is called the kindest natural god and is loved by countless people for a reason. She did not use this tool that came to her door, but explained her power.

Gavin thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for your advice, ma'am. But the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is not just a tree. Especially in terms of her soul consciousness, she has us and countless spirits in the Dragon Oak Dream. It is easy for Moando to corrupt one person, but it is difficult to corrupt a group of people, not to mention hundreds of thousands or millions. We can prevent this from happening by differentiation.

The most important thing is that we are not fighting alone. Even if the lady is unwilling to accept this honor, I believe that the lady will not sit idly by in the fight against this dark force."

"It seems that this is not your temporary decision, but a well-thought-out decision. Even without my consent, you will push this matter forward." Mielikki's face regained a smile, even brighter than the last time, "You You have already taken on the most dangerous work, what reason do I have to refuse? This is my honor!

Just use the temple you purified. This temple originally belonged to me. It was seduced and defiled by Moando, and now it has been purified by your mother tree. If it can be returned to me, it will be full of symbolic significance, and I can push this matter forward in a straightforward manner. "

"This is what we originally wanted to do." Gavin told the truth, "The mother tree has established a connection with this temple, which can be used as a coordinate signal tower to log in to the Dragon Oak Dream. We originally wanted to give it to Queen Ladanasi and others. If they are willing, they can use it to enter the Dragon Oak Dream at any time. "

The implication is obvious. If these two things can be combined into one, it will be perfect.

The Queen of the Forest turned to look at Ladanasi and the others and said, "I want to give you this temple with special meaning to guard. Don't rush to agree. This will be a banner for a full-scale war against the corrupted god. The remnants of Moando will definitely destroy it at all costs and will do everything they can to lure you and make you fall into depravity. This will be a very difficult task."

"It is our greatest honor to do this for your majesty."

"Keeping true to our hearts and resisting temptations are what we tree spirits are best at. Your Majesty, it is most appropriate for you to give us this task."

"Your Majesty, please give us the task."

The tree spirits, led by Radanasi, requested one after another.

On the one hand, there is no way to refuse the task of the Queen of the Forest. On the other hand, what Gavin just said is that you can log in to the Dragon Oak Dream through this temple. This is a silent temptation for the tree spirits and a door to a new life.

On the one hand, the tree spirits live alone in the forest. Their shy and escapist nature is only one aspect. On the other hand, they cannot stay away from the trees they live with for a long time. Those newborns cannot even leave the trees for a hundred meters.

After the professional level is raised, this restriction will be loosened, but usually it will not exceed a few hours or days.

If you can enter the Dragon Oak Dream and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree without leaving your home and affecting your own trees, and experience another life, this choice is really hard to refuse.

"Madam, you are worrying too much. If something happens to Queen Radanasi, how can we sit back and do nothing? The Dragon Oak Dream can be connected to that place, and the message transmission is extremely convenient." Gavin added.

If the Dryad Kingdom of the King's Forest can be introduced into the Dragon Oak Dream, it will definitely kill two birds with one stone.

The power of this natural kingdom should never be underestimated.

The priests or druids of the Forest Lady have a ritual called Tree Song, which requires them to awaken a tree man every month, even if it is not a tree man, but an enlightened tree.

Even if there are no hidden tree spirits in the Dryad Kingdom, with these in front of us, there are as many as 600 enlightened trees and tree men that need to be awakened in a year. Over the years, how many enlightened trees and tree men are there in the King's Forest?

Gavin believes that there is an army of tens of thousands of tree men hidden here.

Moreover, the dryads usually make friends with natural spirits such as unicorns, goats, centaurs, pixies, and thorn spirits. These intelligent creatures in the forest are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

King Yasang and his men were not only unwilling to go to war with the Dryad Kingdom, but also did not dare to go to war with them easily.

This huge power may be borrowed by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree at that time, and it will also help to promote friendly relations with the Kingdom of Cormier and complete the mission of the envoy.

Queen Ladanasi also took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will definitely be fully prepared. Fighting against the fallen and corrupted god is the unshirkable responsibility of all natural lives. We are also one of them. Your Majesty cannot deprive us of the honor of fighting for this."

"Okay, I am very happy that you have such awareness. Since you have made a decision, let's go to Aroshi. I will lead this temple there, and you can come with me!" The Queen of the Forest invited.

"It is our honor." Gavin and Lord Virginia responded at the same time.

After everyone exited the Dragon Oak Dream, Mielik just waved her hand, and Gavin and his men were already in a dreamlike fairyland.

The situation here is very similar to the Fairy Wilds. Many things are extreme. The orange-red sunset in the sky and the strange and colorful plants in the forest complement each other, exuding an exotic charm.

The grass is full of flowers, each flower is extremely beautiful, and the mountains and forests are full of lush green trees, growing vigorously, showing dense branches and leaves and vertical vines.

Various small animals are jumping in the grass, and a group of snow-white unicorns are walking in the forest with elegant steps, just like a lady.

Groups of Pegasus fly low in the sky, and colorful fairy dragons, colorful pixies, and simple little fairies can be seen everywhere here, playing at will.

The moment Gavin and his group of outsiders entered, countless old and huge trees here floated old faces and opened pairs of human eyes. When they realized their identities, they closed their eyes again.

It is obvious that this is a group of enlightened trees or tree people, the purest kind, with relatively indifferent emotions. The human side is far less important than the tree side. Even if the forest guardian, the forest queen, comes in person, it can't cause much waves here.

Gavin's previous guess about Aroshi was not completely right, but not completely wrong.

Aroshi is not in the Fey Wilderness, nor is it completely in the material plane. It is a huge semi-dimensional plane, embedded with the King's Forest. The plane laws here are somewhat similar to the Fey Wilderness, but the core laws are still the material plane.

This also caused the King's Forest to be not flat, but concave. As for this concave surface, it is not concave in the physical sense, but in the dimension.

There is no way to reach here through ordinary teleportation. You can only walk in from the direction of the King's Forest, but where the specific door is, for those who are not familiar with this place, it is completely impossible to find the door.

If the Kingdom of Aroshi closes the passage, even if a large army holds hands and combs through the King's Forest like a comb, they can't find them.

If you take the initiative to open this passage, you will walk in the King's Forest and enter it unknowingly.

This concept of infinite distance and infinite nearness is exactly the same as the etheric plane, because this demiplane is developed from the etheric plane.

Therefore, the area of ​​the Kingdom of Aros is several times larger than the King's Forest seen by the world.

With Queen Aroshi leading them personally, they naturally had no obstacles and soon appeared in the center of this natural kingdom. It was a small hill that was not very high, in a circular shape, with thick and tall ancient trees growing in circles.

Through the powerful soul fluctuations they emitted, it can be judged that there is no ordinary tree here. They are either enlightenment trees or tree people. On the contrary, the thick trees of various species on the top of the hill have a very ordinary aura, just like ordinary trees.

How could the trees here be ordinary trees?

They are all symbiotic trees of tree spirits, and the tree people on the periphery are used to protect them.

The name of this small hill is the Hill of Tree Spirits. There is an open space on its top, with a simple huge stone altar, which is dedicated to Mielikki.
