A strange world

Chapter 482 Section 139. Conquer them with Free City

The tense atmosphere was temporarily relieved by Annan's invitation.

The bark elf looked at Serana, and the half-man deer nodded to him.

"This place will be different from all the human city-states you understand..." the tree man Druid encouraged.

"Then let me see what makes Treebeard willing to betray the Druids..." The bark elf's cold gaze fell on Annan: "...Annan Potter, lead the way."

"Follow me. Also, just call me Annan."

The druids gathered around Annan, with the Druid Avengers following behind.

"Mr. Shuren, are you okay?" Annan asked proactively.

Treebeard smiled like an old man: "We settled in the Third Warcraft Mountain Range, where there is no threat from ratmen, and no humans will run deep into the forest. Where are you guys?"

"It was quite difficult at the beginning... We were forced to flee the North. Hundreds of thousands of people from Star Moon Bay and Breeze City were all evacuated after they were brought to Middle-earth, leaving only more than 10,000 people following us. Austria Almedo led them to buy the Typhoon Shelter Town in the Third Warcraft Forest Mountain Range, and I came to the Tatun Empire to seek a fief..."

Annan told Treebeard what had happened in the past few months, and the Druid Avengers also heard it.

"Wow, I didn't even know that." "Is your city-state actually a floating city? Then why doesn't it rise?"

If there were envoys around, Annan would say that the floating city is just a way to escape danger, and becoming a ground city would be more profitable. If he were surrounded by his own people, Annan would tell the truth: The range of the arcane energy core is too small. When can I make a city the size of a city float, I will do it again. But this is a group of druids, and Annan said: "The earth under our feet gave birth to us, and we should not plunder her flesh and blood... How I hope that the Free City will never need to rise..."

But the half-man deer still looked at Annan with a smile that seemed to know everything... The lie detection test should be over.

"So you enslave the undead?"

The bark elf whispered coldly, and the Druid Avengers had already seen the skeleton ratman busy in the wheat field.

"Their breath of death has been dispelled, and now they are just a group of moving bones that can be ground into powder to nourish the earth." Annan said matter-of-factly: "We have turned the skeletons that were supposed to bring death and withering into protection. Life, the gardener who maintains nature, isn’t that valuable?”

As much as the treant druids appreciate it, the bark elves hate it...

"You destroyed nature!"

The bark elves are obviously not good at debating, but Annan, who walks among noble ladies, has already developed his eloquence: "I have no intention of criticizing your teachings, but... what is nature?"

"Everything is back to its original state."

"All life follows the rules given to it by this world... right?"

The bark elf felt something was wrong, but Annan's words were correct: "Yes..."

“So I think it’s natural for sheep to eat grass, it’s natural for wild animals to eat sheep, and it’s also natural for us to eat wild animals and sheep... We cut down trees to build houses, use firewood to heat ourselves, farm and harvest to keep ourselves full... We are all following the laws of this world. , we have never set fire to mountains or killed other lives just to satisfy our selfish desires..."

But it's useless, just as they can't convince Annan, Annan can't convince them.

Druid Avengers are all beings who have experienced drastic changes and changed their minds. Their only thought is revenge: revenge on those who destroy nature and balance, and make those who harm nature pay the price.

All Annan can do is plant a seed:

"Mr. Treebeard taught me a lot, such as the nature that druids understand: it is vast, invisible, permanent and silent. Druids follow the laws and rhythms of nature and do not do things that go against nature. They understand nature as they understand themselves …So I don’t hate you…On the contrary, I understand you.”

The bark elf remained silent.

"Our home was destroyed by the rat men, and nature was destroyed by you. In the flames of revenge, we will all feel lonely and helpless. We can still build new homes, but you are gradually losing contact with nature in order to take revenge. , and this is what you are supposed to have as druids...You find that in the process of pursuing revenge, you become less and less like yourself and more and more like the person you hate."

If this passage were a seed, it would need sunlight, water, and soil for it to germinate.

Several blue dragons appeared in the sky at the right moment.

Annan waved to the blue dragons. Ilimoyasi ignored him, but the three young dragons following behind made childish roars.

"comollon……"

Annan's words were still echoing in their hearts, and they began to feel that the tree man druid might be right...this place was different from all the human city-states they understood.

Then, after walking along a neat road to this city-state with an elven style and plants planted on the roadside, they saw the old orc again.

The old orc looked at the orc druid, and the orc druid looked at the old orc.

"There are still orcs in your city-state?"

The bark elf looked at the old orc: there were no traces of shackles or slavery. The brown skin that had lost its elasticity due to old age was drooping. There were only scars from the past...

"Go over," the bark elf said.

The orc druid nodded calmly and came to the old orc.

"We want to create a city-state where all races can live together in peace."

Annan, who was originally going to lead the Druid Avengers to see the saplings, changed his mind and came to the blacksmith shop.

The goblin Dorai is directing a group of workers to lift the spinning machine onto the cart.

"Lord Annan..." Dorai, the goblin in a white robe, looked behind Annan.

"Some guests are here, go call Bronzebeard."

Goblin Dorai ran in, and soon Soruman Bronzebeard complained: "Do you know how busy I am... Druid? Did you just trick me?"

"Ahem...they are Druid Avengers, our guests."

The bark elf looked at Dorai and then at Bronzebeard: "Dwarves and goblins?"

This is even more difficult for the Druid Avengers to understand than seeing elves and orcs... The vengeful dwarves and goblins are almost feuding, but they actually live in peace here.

The Druid Avengers didn't know the relationship between Soruman Bronzebeard and that organization, and thought it was Annan's doing.

Next, Annan asked Della, Centaur and the others to appear. Finally, they came to the foot of the forest mountains and looked at the seemingly endless saplings.

"So we have no irresolvable contradictions."

At this time, the Druid Avengers had a changed view of Annan.

Gema raised his head proudly, and the nimble tail of the centaur next to him was like a ball of fluff, which gave Annan a stronger impulse than Gema's chestnut head.
