"Starting from the teachings advocated by the "Conquering Mission", it is not difficult to deduce that rough pioneering methods such as burning forests and reclamation of lakes and fields are justified behaviors, and this coincides with the colonialists' general eagerness to obtain good land. It did not take into account that excessive land reclamation would cause irreparable trauma to the natural world. People burned the jungle to cultivate and cultivated, and the first few years still achieved a bumper harvest. However, as the environmental damage intensified, these farmland will run out of fertility within a few years. The climate will also deteriorate sharply due to the large-scale burning of the jungle, which will eventually lead to the degeneration of good fields into deserts, and various natural disasters will erupt frequently... In the final analysis, radical pioneering activities may bring short-term benefits to people. Caused a more serious disaster." Victor Kalinin made a fair criticism of the teachings of the "Conquering Order" from the perspective of a "Green Druid".

"Father, we can certainly criticize the teachings of the "Conquering Order" as being too simple and rude, without considering the long-term influence, but you think about it, those colonists who came to the New World with a dream of making a fortune are mostly in the old continent. Landless farmers who cannot stand on their feet, they are eager to own a good field as soon as possible, and who cares about natural disasters years or even decades later?" Magni shrugged.

"To be right, Magni, we can criticize the conquest of the sect for being too short-sighted, but we cannot blame their actions for evil. After all, those colonizers also want to survive and have the dream of making money, and occupying the land, Occupying more land is the only way for these people who leave their homes to survive and realize their dreams." Matoka sighed in a mixed mood.

"If the conquered sect really represents the broad interests of the colonists as they publicly advertised, we really cannot be too harsh on them, but this is not the whole truth. Father and mother, this trip to the north made me I have the opportunity to peek into the true intentions of conquering the senior ranks of the congregation. If my observations are meticulous enough, if my reasoning does not deviate too much from the truth, I am afraid I can only draw an inference that will shock you."

"Speak your guess, Magny, don't worry about who is scared. There is no coward sitting next to you at this moment." Victor cast an encouraging look on his son.

Joan noticed that the atmosphere near the bonfire suddenly became dignified, people stopped talking, all their eyes were focused on Magni's stern face, and even the foreign visitors who had nothing to do with him couldn't help holding their breath, expecting the horse Gurney reveals the truth of "conquering the congregation".

"I think that the slogans conquered by the congregation are deceptive. They don’t care about the welfare of the colonists. What they really care about is the destruction of forests and grasslands, so that the plants can wither away, and the withering replaces the lushness, and death replaces the life. Faced with the puzzled eyes of everyone, Magni emphasized in the last word: "The core teachings of the conquering sect are not the "conquering the barrenness" and "reclaiming the good land" that they advertise externally. They are just destroying and destroying. , To destroy for destruction."

"When all the jungles and grasslands on the earth are destroyed, the cultists will not stop there, and then they will inevitably turn the target of destruction to farmland and orchards. Today, people who follow the conquering sect to open up wasteland will one day find them. The idols of worship are actually a group of cruel demons. If there is no tree to burn, the flames of the demons will turn around and burn the wheat field behind them." Magni spoke out ominously.

"Destroy for destruction, destroy for destruction..." Kandy murmured his elder brother's argument and shuddered. "Magni, what good is this crazy behavior to conquer the sect? The top sect will never be Is it a group of lunatics who have fun by burning forests?"

"Of course they are not lunatics, in fact they have every reason to do so." Magni lowered his voice and his expression became more dignified. "During our investigation along the north bank of the Eifen River, we were fortunate enough to get seclusion in the forest With the help of the good goblins on the periphery and the help of the ancient Shuren, they have been struggling to resist the expansion of the conquest of the congregation over the years, and they have learned the secrets of the congregation during the long-term confrontation. This leader of the resistance army, a The respectable Lao Shuren told me personally that there were several high-ranking Druids who conquered the sect, but unfortunately they could not withstand the temptation of demons and eventually betrayed their belief in the origin of nature, and instead went to the opposite of the Druid, Fallen into an abominable'wither'."

"Withered, withered?!" Kandy couldn't help exclaiming, her pretty face paled slightly from fear.

Victor and Matoka, as well as the elders by the fire, all expressed their astonishment and even horror, and they were silent for a while.

Joan couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and leaned in to Condy's ear to ask in a low voice: "What does the'wither' mean?"

"The wither is a very evil and extraordinary profession. Only the fallen Druid will take this path." Kandy took a deep breath and calmed his emotions as much as possible. "A person only comes from the heart. Loves life and worships the natural origin, it is possible to gain the favor of the natural origin and become a druid, but this road is not easy to go, full of difficulties and obstacles, if someone goes astray and loses the life and natural origin If you love and give up the sacred mission of maintaining the balance of nature, you will be punished by the origin of nature because of your betrayal of faith, and you will lose all professional abilities including the use of natural magic."

Joan nodded, "What happens next?"

"The mother of nature is compassionate. If a Druid who has gone astray repents in time and actively atones for his depraved behavior, he can still regain the care of nature's origin and regain the lost power, but there are also some deaths. The unrepentant guy resented the mother of nature because of the punishment he received, and turned into the arms of the demon. Under the guidance of the demon, he was transferred to the evil magic spellcaster, which is the'wither'."

"Just as people often refer to the dark guardians of the evil gods as "anti-samurai", the blighters are also called "anti-druid", and their creed is contrary to the druid, blaspheming life and spreading death for joy, to destroy Green plants are proud, they have powerful and evil powers, and their spell-casting ability is even greater than that of real druids. However, these powers are not without cost. The wither will destroy a large piece of lush green plants every day, and usually choose to burn them. The crops in the woods, grasslands or farmland will please their demon masters through this cruel ritual before they can gain the magical position of the day."

"The higher the level of the wither, the more green plants need to be destroyed every day. Due to this constraint, they cannot maintain their strength in glaciers or deserts with sparse vegetation, so the wither always lurks in dense vegetation. This It is not difficult to understand why the conquering sect with the wither as the core of leadership should expand the power of the Yalv jungle, and why incitement to the unruly forest burning of the colonists to open up wasteland. The evil deforestation ritual is carried out in the name of, and a lot of green plants are sacrificed to enhance their own strength, leaving only dead branches and leaves everywhere."

After listening to Conti's story, Joan couldn't help feeling cold. Since the "wither" must destroy trees day after day to maintain his ability to cast spells, Magni's inference just now seems logical. These fallen Druids are indeed "destroyed for destruction", " "Destroy for destruction". As for the doctrine of external propaganda, it is nothing more than beautiful packaging to cover up the real purpose.

"Since the conquered sect is a cult group formed with ‘blighters’ as the backbone, the ‘black wilt’ spread from the north is probably also inseparable from this cult gang,” Qiao An said thoughtfully.

"Based on our investigations in the north these days, you can be sure that your speculation is true." Magni patted Joan on the shoulder, and then he started this new topic, "In the past month, we have been back and forth. On the spot, no fewer than ten areas where "black wilt" had broken out were visited, and surviving residents were visited. These areas showed that there were two similar signs before and after the black wilt outbreak."

"Specifically speaking, what are the similarities." Victor asked.

"First of all, before the outbreak of black wilt, most of the people in the local black robe wandering in the forest, exactly where these suspicious characters haunted. Shortly afterwards, black wilt broke out, and large pieces of plants withered and died. It must be reminiscent of the evil ritual of the'wither'."

"The second suspicious point appeared in the forest where the black wilt occurred, and the withered trees seemed to be injected with some kind of evil magic power, which turned into a hotbed for the birth of monsters after they died. These monsters transformed from withered trees It looks like activated plants, but resembles undeads with full of hatred towards the living, swarming through the woods and the wilderness in droves, hunting all living things that inadvertently break into their perception range, including us humans In fact, the villages near the blight outbreak area were almost completely destroyed by what these locals called the “blight monsters”. The survivors who fled the village mentioned that the monsters all showed fear and hatred. At that time, we I still don’t quite understand why they are so cowardly and why they don’t unite to resist the invasion of monsters, until later when we personally encounter the wither monster... we really understand the mood of those who escaped."

Magni's voice was low, and the bonfire cast a shaking shadow on his face.

The blazing flame cast a shadow on Magny's face, and at the same time cast a lingering haze in the hearts of the people listening to Magny's story. Unconsciously, the atmosphere around the campfire became terrifying. Kandy and Joan looked at each other and shivered.
