Chapter 436 Divine Metaphor (Part 2)
At this time, in mid-October, the growth rate of plants had already slowed down. Except for some evergreen plants, other plants have shown signs of decay.
In a piece of green, there must be some faint yellow-green. This mixed color, if you look closely, you will find that it is a mixed color that appears because some dry yellow is mixed in the green.
This phenomenon is almost everywhere. All kinds of plants begin to shrink slowly in the autumn wind, preparing for the arrival of winter. The trees begin to shed their leaves slowly in the future for the reduction of rain and the arrival of cold weather. go down.
Ordinary annual plants, they will produce their own seeds in autumn, which is also their own hope, and then bury this new hope deeply in the ground, waiting for the day when the flowers will bloom in the warm spring next year.
In the border forest, this situation did not happen, and the plants in the forest grew very vigorously. Because it is different from the poverty in other areas, it has fertile land and a rainforest-like natural environment.
After drilling into the woods, I found that the plants growing under the tall trees did not grow slowly due to lack of sunlight. On the contrary, they grew very fast in an extremely moist environment, and the signs of decay did not even appear. never showed up.
Because of the evil disaster, the once lively hunting operations have long since disappeared. Most of the adventurers who used to accept missions and hunt monsters for a living are now serving in the army or in the homes of some powerful families, enjoying a better life. Good treatment, earning more coins, naturally, not many people are willing to do this kind of laborious but not earning a little money. There is no channel to honor their ancestors, and those who can change careers will naturally change careers early up.
If you are a soldier, you can not only get paid by killing enemies, but also practice your combat skills by killing them. There is nothing more cost-effective than this kind of business.
With the temporary easing of the disaster situation in this county, pirates broke out again in the county. The nobles who can hire people spend money to hire people with combat skills. Although the disaster is over in this county, the people in other areas The evil disaster is still going on, and no one can guarantee whether this kind of disaster will come again. Adventurers with rich combat experience are still the meat and potatoes that the nobles compete for each other.
It is precisely because of this that even today, the border forest still has not returned to its former hustle and bustle. Even the monsters seem to have noticed something, and most of them hide in deeper places, rarely appearing in the outskirts of the forest.
"It's so quiet here." A few faint rays of sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the trees and shone into the woods, casting countless colors on the ground. A group of cavalry was walking in the forest with their horses. small road. The leading cavalryman looked around and said with a sigh.
"Paul,
Do you know why the grown-ups called us over here? Let us know. A cavalryman pushed his horse forward a little, came to the side of the leading cavalryman, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either. The adults suddenly asked us to gather and then rush to the small village on the edge of the forest. Presumably, there must be their intentions."
"But. What can happen here? It's not near the sea, and it's not in any important location. I heard that even the monsters in the edge forest basically don't come out. Under such circumstances, what can we do here? ?” A cavalry retorted.
You must know that the time of the cavalry is very precious. Generally, the cavalry is training except when eating, sleeping, and performing tasks.
Because they are the cavalry of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, they have more power than the cavalry of other places, and their status is higher. Usually, the church does not need to use them for anything, and they have very little work except for exercise.
But this time, they suddenly received a task from above, asking them to gather as soon as possible and head towards the edge of the forest. The people who did not receive specific orders were somewhat unhappy.
Seeing that everyone seems to have some complaints about this sudden mission, the leader of the cavalry squad named Paul looked around and his eyes became sharper: "Why, are you dissatisfied? It's because I didn't inform you about this mission in advance. You need to understand that as a reserve cavalry of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, obeying orders is a bounden duty, we should ask less and do more, understand?"
"clear!"
Sparse voices came from the mouths of the other cavalrymen in a state of confusion. Cavalryman Paul wanted to say something more. But seeing that everyone had a cold face, they must have said something. These guys couldn't listen anymore, so he simply put on a calm face and urged his horse to the front of the team again.
But I was thinking in my heart. Sure enough, the newly recruited cavalry could not compare with the cavalry trained since childhood, and this aspect alone was far inferior.
But there was no way around it. The loss from the evil disaster had to be replenished with a large number of unqualified new blood.
The road they took was a shortcut to the forest house. Originally, they took this road to save time. Who would have imagined it, because the plants in the forest are very dense, and they can only lead the horses. Walking forward, when they walked out of this small forest and came to the open land, they found that many cavalry had already arrived here.
While greeting the familiar cavalrymen, Paul looked around.
The place where they are currently standing belongs to the small square of the forest house, because there are more and more people. The head of the forest house's village head came forward and let them into a large unused house. The floor was covered with thick carpets. After people came in, they either sat on chairs or sat directly on the ground. These people tried to lower their voices as much as possible, at least it didn't sound so messy.
While they were gathering in the border forest, Alini, who was the lord's wife, also got the news.
At this time, she was sitting in the rest area of the garden, drinking water. While looking at the nautical chart on the table: "Romon, where are you now?"
Although there has been no news of the navy, since the last incident, Elini has also learned to hold her breath this time. In addition to sending people to keep inquiring, she stepped forward this time. There is a lack of a lord in Tetaxiao At that time, she, the wife of the lord, took on the important task.
"Madam, now a large number of armed forces of the Radiance Church in the whole county, as well as a large number of priests, have gathered at the edge of the harsh forest. Madam, what should we do?" As soon as Scholar Lulun received the news, he rushed to Alini's place place, asking.
"What do you mean by Yilulun scholar?" Alini didn't answer first, and asked Lulun's opinion cautiously.
Scholar Lulun already had a plan to deal with it. Out of respect for the lord and his wife, he had to report in advance and get permission before proceeding to the next step.
Seeing that Alini asked himself, Lulun scholar said his thoughts one by one.
After listening, Alini nodded.
"Just do as Scholar Lulun said, prepare some food for them first, and I'll go over to entertain them, and by the way, find out why these guests gathered at the edge of the forest." After all, it belongs to Tetashaw Territory, such a large-scale move, as the wife of the lord, it is impossible for Alini to ignore it.
According to Lu Lun's thinking, first of all, they have to arrange the resting place for these people, after all, it is a bit outrageous for so many people to just stand like this.
Of course, if they rest longer than the night, they will need to spend some money to stay overnight, after all. Hotel also costs money.
Then, send some smarter buddies and servants to go to those people to busy themselves, to listen to the wind, and to prevent unnecessary troubles.
With so many cavalrymen and priests together, if anyone dislikes anyone, it will be troublesome. Once so many people make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
These people are not ordinary people, they have power, and power must be respected.
Instruct the kitchen to select some chefs and prepare them at all times. As long as some high-ranking people need them, they will cook some exquisite food so that they can buy and eat them.
Seeing that Alini agreed to the plan, Scholar Lulun quickly sent someone to carry it out.
At the same time, he also ordered some soldiers with special functions to secretly inquire about the cause of the incident, why so many people gathered here in the edge forest, this is something that needs to be understood immediately.
As the lord's wife, Alini was not idle either. After dressing up, she sat in a carriage and came to the edge of the forest under the protection of several attendants.
Due to the orderliness of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, their current behavior is quite regular, and accommodation and food are all purchased.
No one undermined the authority of the lord.
"I am the wife of Baroness Tetashaw. I heard that you have arrived at the forest home. As the lord of the land, I welcome you..." Alini met some people and said.
I expressed my feelings, distributed some snacks and fruits as gifts, and took the opportunity to insinuate, but I still didn't get the reason why the other party gathered here.
She was puzzled by the concentration of priests and armed forces on the edge of the forest.
In the afternoon, the people who came were getting more and more advanced, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
No, even the knights appeared. They were all wearing silver armor, the shiny breastplate was like a mirror, and the long cloak was tied behind them, showing their nobility.
Most of the horses are white, with long manes fluttering in the wind, looking extraordinarily majestic.
The carriages that followed were all extraordinary in style, inlaid with the emblem of the Lord of Radiance. Alini was no stranger to these, and this was the style that only bishops possessed.
At this moment, a knight stepped forward: "Are you the wife of Baroness Tetashaw?"
"Yes, I am."
"The Central Archbishop of the Church of the Lord of Glory, I greet you, please follow me." This man saw the five silver lines, but he didn't dare to be too negligent. The fifth level is almost close to the status of a bishop, although the gods are different.
"It's an honor." Alini said. (!)
