It was the Lord of the Forest who provided the power of the oath. Xu Yang sensed it silently, and could also see the eternal oath he signed with Farosha, Lila, and Pan Ruiyin, restricting each other from facing each other with swords.
"We need to discuss this matter carefully." Xu Yang looked at the forest owner, "About how to attract followers and worship."
It made a hoarse breathing sound, its eyes were dark, and its figure was shrouded in a rust-colored illusion, as if it had traveled from the depths of history and was scarred.
"As you wish." The Lord of the Forest whispered.
Strong, mysterious, and solemn, the Lord of the Forest was once the most famous ancient mystic in the Middle Ages. Medieval humans had nothing to do with the large-scale forest. Whenever walking through the ancient paths of the dense forest, they must be careful to avoid offending this ancient spirit.
However, nature has faded in the face of human violence. The dense forests have easily turned into wood and fuel. The hiding places have been destroyed one after another. The owners of the forests have also become targets of capture and enslavement by companies. Until now, they are safe from danger.
Xu Yang heard that the northern military industry extracted vitality and magic raw materials from its body. After such a long period of torture, pain and hatred should be deeply rooted in the heart of the forest lord, but Xu Yang could not see any of its thoughts. The forest lord just It has remained silent for a long time, existing in the posture of a giant deer with a wood grain shell, as calm as a sculpture, as majestic and noble as the forest itself.
"Give it a drink of this." Mond found a bottle of sparkling red potion from under his scales. Farosha took the potion bottle and looked at it carefully.
"The quality is very high." Falosa smiled, "It can restore very serious damage."
"Yes, but it's not for you." Mond's huge claws moved slowly on the ground.
Given its huge size, the slightest movement will trigger a series of vibrations, as if the ground will tilt as its center of gravity moves.
Falosa slowly turned around and handed the potion to the Lord of the Forest.
It stared at the bottle of potion with its eyes, and then its brass bottle cap was removed by itself. The Lord of the Forest absorbed all the essence of its power from a distance, inhaling them into itself in the form of diffuse smoke. Then, the Lord of the Forest The Lord's vitality is gradually restored visibly.
The most striking thing is its horn. Its huge horn expands rapidly, has more branches, and the ends are sharper. Lush white hair grows from its body, its eyes are ignited with green flames, and its limbs are strong. It propped up its huge body. It was only at this moment that its supreme majesty was somewhat restored.
"...I need a group of followers, and I will strictly limit the number of followers to avoid causing trouble to you." There are strands of light entwined between the giant horns of the Lord of the Forest, and just staring at this natural divine light will make you crazy. Feel calm and comfortable.
"You know the rules very well." Falosa said with a smile.
"Because I know what kind of people I am cooperating with." The Lord of the Forest paced slowly on the grass, his beautiful and exquisite snow-white fur covering his body, dotted with amber mysterious lines, "You are both greedy and just. , both violent and generous. You are a three-headed beast that is bigger than me, and each of the three heads performs its own duties."
It turned its head and looked at Xu Yang, Falosa and Lila respectively, and its burning eyes seemed to be able to look directly into the depths of people's hearts.
"In the first year, it will be one thousand people." Farosha ordered in a judgmental tone, "In the second year, it will be one thousand, five hundred people. This is the upper limit of the followers you can accommodate."
"It needs more people to perform the ritual." Mond shook the ground with his claws, and the invisible shock wave made Farosha's neon cloak rustle. "How dare you treat it like a new prisoner!"
Falosa turned her head to look at Mond, staring up at its huge dragon head covered with thick scales. Its eyes were sharp, and every breath exhaled a little moon-white smoke.
Don't give in an inch.
What would happen if she fought Mondstadt? Farossa tried to deduce the future in her vast thoughts.
The ending is unfortunate. In the first round, she will be overwhelmed by the white flames of the moon. "Moonfire" Mond himself exhales the pale dragon's breath, which is enough to destroy the world and destroy the earth. It is a thousand times more powerful than the small flames of October.
This deduction was so real that it made Falosa feel a little bit sad in reality.
Mond's giant claws reached forward, reaching a subtle distance, and a single charge was enough to crush Farossa. A genuine ancient dragon king, the slightest bit of dragon power can make mortal life pale in horror.
That’s it. Falosa secretly thought. She now understands Mondstadt’s position, and must maintain the status quo so that humans, witches, and ancient beings like them can maintain a delicate balance, so that no one party overpowers the other two.
At present, humans are the most powerful, so Mondstadt invests in the powerful witch and the weak Lord of the Forest. If Farossa shows signs of dictating everything, it will intervene to achieve a balance.
Mond's bottom line cannot be tested.
It’s better to give in a little bit first. Farosha secretly thought. Sooner or later, I will wave the butcher knife against it. The hegemony to rule the world will definitely fall into Farosha’s own hands.
She was still thinking about how to reach the peak of her power, when she turned around and saw Xu Yang sitting on the back of the Forest Lord, walking in the Moonlight Garden, and they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with each other.
"How did you get up there?" Falosa was very surprised.
"We have reached some agreements." Xu Yang looked down and felt that he was far away from the grassland. Everything was balanced. The Lord of the Forest had a shoulder height of six meters. It was taller than the tallest moose known so far, but its posture was elegant.
There is no jolt when sitting on its back.
"What agreement?" Falosa crossed her arms on her chest.
"It will have its own territory and admirers, but in the deepest part of a dense ecological forest, it will not be spread publicly. Only a few people who are passionate about primitive ecology and environmental protection will join." Xu Yang explained, "It will not only protect
The golden branches and trees currently owned by Nisto Company will also help us purify the land and air for free, for mutual benefit."
"But I haven't put forward my terms yet," Falosa protested.
"Many things can only be revealed in practice." Lila grabbed Farossa's hand, "Let's first see what changes the Lord of the Forest will bring to the world."
"When I return, nature will be restored." The Lord of the Forest leaned down, then raised its head high and roared loudly, "The ancient vegetation will be reborn."
What a magnificent scene. Xu Yang raised his eyes and looked around. He saw that every ancient tree in the Moonlight Garden was trembling slightly, and the leaves flapped against each other, making a sound of joy, just like a voice responding to welcome the Lord of the Forest back to his throne.
Above the position.
"Yes, you will definitely repair this increasingly collapsed, divided and corrupted world." Mond raised his head, "This is the value of the extraordinary alliance. We advance together and retreat together, eliminating hatred and unhappiness, and pushing the world to its glory.
, a complete and proper side.”
History was once again turning in her own hands. Farossa chuckled. Let's see what significant changes the return of the Lord of the Forest will bring.
On the other side is the garbage dump on the western outskirts of Anjiu City.
The hunchbacked leader of the scavengers was resting on a broken tricycle that had been assembled and remodeled. The trunk was filled with recyclable waste picked up from the garbage mountain. They were going to be sold and were worth a few bucks.
As always, the large and small enterprises responsible for garbage disposal in Anjiu City make three trips a day to transport huge amounts of garbage generated by residents from the city. Four-axis rotor-type large shuttles approach in groups, open their belly bins, and dump tons of garbage down.
It's like dropping a heavy bomb, constantly increasing the thickness of the garbage mountain.
Near his dilapidated residence, Anjiu City Councilor Fujiki Kensaku arrived, accompanied by several researchers from the Taixizhou private environmental protection company.
"The people here are suffering from the effects of pollution and radioactive waste." Kensaku Fujiki walked quickly towards the leader of the scavengers, "There is no need to think about it anymore, let your people put down their guns."
The scavenger leader turned his head, and hundreds of silent scavengers held homemade rifles in their hands, aiming at Kensaku Fujiki and other company members.
Even though they were pointed at by guns, Fujiki Kensaku and his team remained calm. After all, once a scavenger fired, it would be a serious violation of security regulations, and the entire scavenger association would be razed to the ground.
"If I sign," the waste picker leader said slowly, "you will implement the environmental tax law."
"Yes, we have to let our people go in to collect some information, take some photos, and with your approval, I will be able to convince other council members to levy an environmental protection fee on all products sold in Anjiu City." Ken Fujiki made a change.
He pointed at the towering mountain of garbage.
The environment here was a hundred times worse than he imagined. If he had known better, he would not have visited in person.
"For your own benefit?" the leader of the scavengers said coldly.
"In order to improve the environment." The people from the environmental protection company took out many exquisite packaging boxes, "You see, every household needs such a water purification filter faucet, everyone needs a high-standard mask to purify the air, and various
"Then the benefits will be distributed to your own people." The leader of the scavengers murmured.
"You can also be your own person." The company employee laughed dumbly.
"And every factory," Kensaku Fujiki said with a smile, "all must be replaced with environmentally friendly process production equipment, otherwise they will be severely fined. Think about the benefits of this."
"...You regard environmental protection as a business. As long as you continue to think this way, these problems will not be solved." The leader of the waste pickers sounded sad, and his voice became hollow and weak. "The harmful substances in the air, water and soil,
There is so much disease, cancer, accidents and noise... none of it will be solved."
"Look." Kensaku Fujiki walked forward and whispered in the ear of the scavenger leader, "Let's do this. We can provide you with as many houses as you want in Anjiu City, as big as you want."
The leader of the scavengers swallowed, feeling like he was drinking his own blood as he swallowed.
