    Lesatos left, leaving Drusilia alone to look into the shade of the sacred tree.  Although he was full of confidence when he agreed, it was a forced statement.  Drushilia asked himself, his teacher made a girl who could only imagine become a powerful spellcaster, and made a dying nation struggle out of the garbage heap.  Inheritance, faith, and the most precious hope, these are blessings that are immeasurable.  But what did the Tias pay?  It's just some gems and gold coins. Maybe the luminous stone is very useful to the mage, but in Tia's opinion, the cost between the two parties is not proportional at all.  Queen Gallanold felt a heavy debt. Although Lesatos never pressed for payment, it was even more uncomfortable. Violet, who was familiar with the nature of businessmen, once said to her: "If the Flame Mage never makes a request,  Then we must not be able to afford what he is trying to rob. He can use unicorns, sacred trees, etc. as the cost. What he wants is unimaginable." Drushilia didn't like this utilitarian speculation, but she felt that it was possible!  reason.  And today she finally had a goal - nine magic gems. She was determined to dedicate them to the golden dragon as long as Tia did not perish.  It was now morning. She convened a meeting and announced in public: "Everyone, according to the information obtained by the Flame Mage, the human kingdom will launch a new wave of attacks on the forest in one to two years." The elves in the meeting looked at each other, stunned.  It's not that they have any doubts about the Flame Mage, but how long has it been since the last large-scale robbery in the Southeast Alliance?  Nothing was gained, but heavy losses were suffered. How could those profit-driven humans do it again, unless their reproductive capacity was comparable to that of field mice and they could ignore population.  The Queen emphasized: "This time it is no longer private soldiers and slave catchers for the purpose of robbing people and property, but a violation in a national sense. Humanity intends to eliminate the nation of Tiya!" As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall changed.  It has changed, some are sad and some are angry.  Some people were excited, and finally no fear was seen. Drusilia was quite satisfied with this.  But her good mood only lasted for a while. An official in charge of logistics stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since Master Huan Yan can know the military situation, can you ask him to try to delay the war? Now the Emerald Stone Order has just started, and there are no material resources.  There is not enough preparation" His voice became smaller and smaller under the Queen's unblinking gaze. It was obvious that this was not what she wanted to hear.  An elderly ranger general came to the rescue so that his colleagues could retreat to their seats.  "Your Majesty. I suggest that we start preparing for an external intelligence department immediately." "How did we obtain our intelligence in the past?" The ranger general was a little embarrassed: "In fact, in the past, Tiya did not have specialized military intelligence personnel, and the main source of information came from businessmen of various countries.  Team, those profit-seeking businessmen are willing to sell anything for a small discount, so the information is cut off after the forest is closed. Furthermore, to bribe those vulgar and shameless humans or to hook up in order to strengthen the relationship, according to Tia's character.  It's" Drusilia felt uncomfortable listening to it, but this can't be done according to hobbies.  "We need to recognize the reality. Gallan Nord is in a weak position. If you can't even let go of your self-esteem, just break the bowstring and surrender." These words were serious, and the ranger general immediately said: "I will start immediately to select suitable personnel.  "He paused.  "Your Majesty, there is actually a professional intelligence system in the forest, which is good at espionage and bribery." He closed his mouth and said no more.  Drushiliya’s mind turned around and she remembered it immediately.  It’s a temple from the past!  The time when they bribed the ceremonial officer to lead Lesatos into a trap was very impressive.  "Are there any survivors now?" "In addition to those who resisted execution during the purge of Nielon's faith, there should be some expelled sinners." "The sinners She still remembers those who were drugged with hallucinogens by fanatic believers.  .  Then the temple believers who set fire to and killed them in a state of confusion made Drusilia extremely embarrassed to deal with these elves.  Call them heinous, they also committed crimes without knowing it, and many of them were left with permanent disabilities; call them innocent, the relatives of the victims in Greentown will never accept it.  In the end, she believed that everyone must pay the price for their choices. These elves stood on the opposite side of the royal family and believed in evil gods. They would be deprived of their status as free people and expelled to the barren saline forest in the west of the forest.  They are not allowed to carry any weapons or property, and they cannot leave the restricted area. Otherwise, they will be shot and left to fend for themselves.  The Queen of Gallan Nord said: "Go to the available criminals and tell them that if they are willing to bear their sins and serve the country, I will pardon them as appropriate, and those who have done meritorious service can also restore their status as free citizens." "They must be grateful and merciful.  Queen." The ranger general retreated.  Another elf came up, but his steps were slow and decrepit. Every step he took made the elves present on tenterhooks.?, afraid of slipping and dying.  Old Finneman is 900 years old. In theory, elves have a life of 1,000 years, but in reality, anyone who lives over 800 years is considered a long-lived person.  He is the oldest person in the forest, a senior historian, artist, writer, and a member of the Presbyterian Church.  Unlike the previous elders who were worried about gains and losses, Fineman changed his identity quickly, because he was now wearing the official religious uniform of a level 1 druid and ranked in the top ten in the order of successfully communicating the natural will of nature.  The Queen appointed this knowledgeable elder as the administrator of the Grove Sanctuary.  "What's the matter with you, Brother Finneman?" Drusilia's eyes twitched when she saw his steps, fearing that the day when his soul would return to the Holy Tree was not far away.  "Ahem there is one thing for your Majesty's attention. More than 20 rangers have been injured during patrols recently." Drusilia was stunned and looked at the head of the military department. The latter was a little embarrassed and said: "It's all caused by wild beasts.  "It's not worth reporting." Old Finneman shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Your Majesty knows the observation work done by the trainees of the Order some time ago, right?" "The arrangement left by Flamir before he left.  What's wrong? " "Your Majesty, our forest is undergoing drastic changes!" Everyone's attention turned. "After the arrival of the holy tree, the animals and plants in the forest and even certain locations have evolved.  Some of them may have supernatural powers, and our homeland is gradually becoming stranger. "At this time, the Unicorn representative also stepped forward to speak: "The White Mane King also raised the same warning. We found that the magic power of the past inertia is being injected into the jungle.  Many creatures are beginning to become dangerous. "Is the change in magic just in Tia Forest?" "I don't know about that." The queen frowned and relaxed again An hour later, De.  Lusilia and her escort team appeared on the path where the patrol rangers were attacked. Although she claimed to personally inspect the ecological changes, some elves who were familiar with the queen's temperament suspected that she was taking advantage of this to be lazy.  But no matter how you guessed it, Drushilia did feel much more comfortable when she stepped into the jungle.  "Is this here?" The ranger wearing the strap replied: "This is where I found a strange creature. It looks like a split-tooth leopard, but its coat color and behavioral habits are much different, and there are no scratches indicating territory nearby."  The leader of the Rui Order raised his head, his eyes narrowed by the sunlight.  Isn't it a coincidence that the location here is just out of the shade of the huge trees in Silvanus?  The group of elves continued to travel, and Drusilla discovered that Finneman was not exaggerating when he said that the forest had become strange. On the way, she saw several unfamiliar plants, which seemed to be the result of mutations.  A beautiful plant with a large flower plate actually bit off a certain ranger's cloak with one bite, and another tree with slender branches whipped around like a whip.  However, these mutant plants all have strong magical reactions. The queen collected specimens, which may contain materials suitable for advanced alchemy.  At this time, a gust of evil wind howled, Drusilla lowered her head suddenly, and a blurry figure passed over her head.  "That's it!" This aggressive feline beast retains some of the characteristics of the Cracktooth Leopard, but is obviously different.  It was larger than the Splittooth Leopard, with shoulders as high as Drusilia's shoulders, 3 Sammi in length, a thick back, and sharp teeth. The most special thing was that its fur was as black as ink, giving off a shiny reflection.  "Surround." Drusilla ordered, and the rangers dispersed.  But what surprised them was that the black panther faded and then disappeared from sight.  "It's invisible!" Drusilla shouted. This was the same invisibility spell she had seen in the magic shop before.  "Ah!" With a scream, the black panther bit through a certain ranger's shoulder. If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly, his neck would have been broken.  Before the arrow came, the black panther hid again.  The companions quickly poured potion on the injured person and were alert to the surroundings, but could not hear any footsteps. Such a big creature was silent.  Drusiliya was enraged. She poked the ground with the spiral Yamu staff, and the nearby vines grew wildly. The indiscriminate entanglement technique found its target.  The black panther showed his whereabouts, ate two arrows, turned around and ran away.  "Chase." The queen took the lead in tracking, gradually deviating from the patrol path, and ran to a location where there were very few elves' footprints.  Mutated plants appear more and more often, as if they are entering another forest.  They saw many corpses and skeletons of various animals.  After chasing them to an open space, the elves gasped. Is this still the Tia Forest?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
