The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 370: Calming the Forest Region

Starting from the Rotten Orchard and heading west, crossing the high mountain area covered with giant trees and dense forests, you will reach a place called Crescent Bay.

There is no water in Crescent Bay, but a valley shaped like a crescent, with the pointed ends representing the entrances.

Given the patterns of human activity in this era, it is natural that a useless wilderness valley would not be given such a poetic name.

The reason why this place arose is not because some hunter got drunk and showed off, but because there are abundant silver mines here.

Unfortunately, the road leading to the outside world in the deep mountains and old forests is too long and rugged, and the mining technology of this era is mediocre. Soon after the dark forbidden spell had a profound impact on the entire area, the powerful people in Night City gave up mining because the cost was too high.

The reason why it fell into the hands of the werewolf was not only because the silverware could restrain the werewolf's self-healing ability, but also because it could strengthen their abilities in reverse.

That’s right, it is both a poison and a tonic, it depends on how you use it.

This is the uniqueness of the relationship between silver and werewolves in this world.

Specifically, it involves the origin of werewolves in this world and the legendary Scythe of the Moon.

Artifacts are like stars in the world. Some people like to chase them, while others are not interested.

Pastor Luo belongs to the latter.

He didn't think too much about anything now, he just came with the attitude of collecting big animals.

"Xie Chi, this name is really childish! Did you come up with it yourself? "

Influenced by Rob Bo, Pastor Luo even has the concept of "middle school".

The ones occupying the silver mine cave in Crescent Bay are the evil-fang werewolves.

Just like Godfrey said, wolves are divided into packs, and the alpha wolf leads packs of varying sizes to make a living in the Dark Forest.

From a werewolf's perspective, it's not as bad as going hungry for nine meals in three days, but it's almost there.

The reason is simple. The ecology of the Dark Forest cannot support so many carnivores and big eaters.

A large part of the werewolf's rapid healing and powerful agility is due to its high metabolism.

The ogres eat dirt, the Nightfallen eat energy, and what about the Felfangs? They compete with silver.

The Alpha Wolf of the Evil Tooth Werewolf couldn't see the situation clearly and bared his teeth at Priest Luo for a while. Now, Priest Luo is slapping him in the face with his little beep pocket in a humiliating way and asking him questions.

Not convinced? Keep repairing. The electric shock will make you feel numb and it is spiritual energy. It is guaranteed to make you feel very excited.

Still not convinced? Okay, then bask in the moonlight. The moonlight is very sad, comparable to the holy light. It targets the power of darkness from another angle. It can be described as ice and fire compared to the holy light, one is freezing, the other is boiling.

Especially when combined with silver, the target can be grasped firmly. You idiots, the silver content is a bit too much!
Still not convinced? Fine! I'll show you the unique skills of the Soul Witch!

The fact that Priest Luo's soul shaman was able to reach level 21 had a lot to do with him searching Salazar's soul and obtaining a large amount of undead knowledge from this world from the lich.

The power of immortality itself is very torturous, so there is a very cool saying about it: The chariot of chaos, driven by pain.

In other words, immortality itself tends to be on the side of chaos, so how can we make it become on the side of order and serve like an army? Use pain!
This statement is also valid for demons, if played well, demons can become devils, chaotic evil turning into order evil.

Pastor Luo thought he was the best at it, after all, order itself showed a high level of skill.

And Pastor Luo has a persistent pursuit of fine control. After all, he believes that the real power is those that have been mastered more thoroughly.

High skills, high mastery, if that's not considered good play, then what is? The kind that relies on luck to walk in the waves and show off?

No, that's not him.

Add a little more strength, the power of the mind, the power of moonlight, the power of immortality, and bring about a unique collision. The body and soul of this alpha wolf will be the battlefield!
Kneel down!

But Father Luo still didn't intend to let it go easily.

Why are you so showy and so capable?
Everything has a cause. I don't believe that you are so young, but you have experienced things comparable to those of a thousand-year-old monster. You have been through so many things, and your heart is as thick as steel!

Then, Priest Luo found clues to the Scythe of the Moon Goddess.

"Oh, I see." A silver-green light flashed in his eyes, like a different kind of lightning and thunder, which disappeared in an instant.

The conquest of Crescent Bay is over, and the Evilfang Werewolves have become history.

After midnight, the nocturnal werewolves of Sunnywood also transformed from wolves into dogs.

This is the largest werewolf community in the Dark Forest, as they have tasted the sweetness of harassing the humans in Dark Forest, and the Sunny Glade is relatively close to Dark Forest.

It is located in the southeast of Crescent Bay, across the Silent Avenue and through dozens of kilometers of giant tree forests, where you can see a piece of land with sparse trees.

The area is filled with salt crystals, which hinder the expansion of vegetation.

It is said that the Holy Light Priest of the Cathedral also referred to the environment here, collected salt crystals as materials, made Holy Light Runes, and then created the Sunshine Zone.

Therefore, salt crystal has been regarded as a high-quality material that is close to holy light and fights against darkness.

In this way, the demise of the nocturnal werewolves, like the demise of the evil-fanged werewolves, is of great benefit to Marquis Matteo and the people of Night City. The rich and powerful make money, and the cattle and horses have jobs to make a living, a win-win situation.

The last nocturnal werewolf was called back by the long howl of the alpha wolf, with a fat rabbit in its mouth. It was hard to say whether its luck was good or bad.

At dawn, Priest Luo arrived at Eagle's Nest Castle.

Looking at the towering peak that looked like a pillar of heaven, and the lights in the castle built on top of the mountain, Priest Luo thought of a story circulating in Night City about the origin of the wolf disaster.

It is said that the first werewolf was caused by the rabies virus of a mutated night howler wolf.

This statement is naturally a fallacy in the eyes of Priest Luo, because it cannot explain why the Shadow Weaver among the Nightfallen Werewolves can cast spells.

Any warlock who relies on blood power as his core, basically has an ancestor named NiuBi Plus.

When it comes to this, the dragon clan is the most representative.

Why are true dragons so much more powerful than other non-true dragons? Dragons are naturally lustful and can break reproductive isolation. There are countless sub-dragons and dragon-born creatures, and there are many examples where one plus one is greater than two. But why do true dragons always have such a high status?

Pure blood? Don't be ridiculous. Blood is more of a way to maintain domination or vested interests. In reality, only strength can make people bow down.

So the West of the Earth has the Whip of God and the Golden Bloodline Temujin. Why do the self-esteemed white people give such noble names to foreigners? They were beaten into submission, so they used their own words to beautify the enemy. It can also be regarded as an alternative way to join if you can't beat them.

In short, strength is the only criterion for testing nobility and inferiority.

The reason why the reputation of true dragons is always golden is that they can stably maintain their position at the top of the food chain, rather than some hybrids, which are only temporarily selected, shining like meteors but short-lived.

So how do true dragons stay strong? That's the true dragon heritage.

Even if it is a dog-headed man, if the purity of its dragon blood reaches the level of a true dragon, it can activate the true dragon inheritance given by the Dragon God and thus start the path of cultivation.

This is the truth that the true dragon is always the Roman.

So, when the ancestor of the werewolves is a mutant night howler wolf, what inheritance can their warlocks get? The 72 Mad Dog Fists?
So, werewolves must be the work of the Scythe of Elune?
Pastor Luo thinks that may not be the case.

It could also be a product of a magic laboratory. I can only say that this IP is a bit too big, just like the white and yellow people on Earth do not have the same ancestors. They can only be said to be of the same kind.

"For example, the werewolves here are filled with a different kind of stench that makes people sick!"

Of course, the stench here does not refer to the smell in the conventional sense, but to the composition of the mixed magic power.

Different factions have different ways of playing. Some are cleaner, and even the dark forces can be played with a solemn and dignified feeling. Some are more obscene and can be as disgusting as possible. For example, Slaanesh, one of the four peddlers in the Warhammer 40K universe.

From this perspective, although the Hei Luo Bo school is dark, it looks down on other schools, especially the lewd and corrupt schools, just like scholars look down on each other.

And the occupant of Eagle's Nest Castle happens to be from this school.

"Purify them all." Priest Luo said to the summoned Kosar, Arthuron, the four Sters, and White Fang.

The watchdog White Fang is responsible for preventing any fish from slipping through the net. The others are responsible for cleaning up an area respectively. Kosar and Arthuron are responsible for dealing with the backbone of the leaders, while Pastor Luo himself targets the leader.

So the next moment, all the units turned into gray smoke and flew towards Eagle's Nest Castle.

This is a creative benefit given by Rob, realized through moon energy, and derived from the White Witch version of Apparition in Harry Potter.

Gross the Devourer, a giant, deformed wolf.

Thousand-Eyed Guardian Orphen, a monster that is an organic fusion of man + wolf + beholder.

Regol and Shigar are the egg-born monsters of a naga siren and a she-wolf.

Zodus, the Violent Wolf King, is a dragon-wolf monster created by the fusion of the velociraptor's genes and werewolf's.

The four kings and five guys under the command of the great wizard Adrian are all very stylish and easily recognizable, but it's a pity that Priest Luo can't appreciate these hybrids.

As for Adrian, Pastor Luo felt that this guy wasted a good name, so without even giving him a chance to speak, he used his telekinesis to pull his head off his chest.

Later, it was felt that this was not appropriate, so the spine was also removed to form a unique wizard's secondary weapon, the Horror Totem.

Father Luo didn't even search Adrian's soul, so as not to pollute his eyes with related memories.

This little knowledge is not a big deal. Even though Adrian's skills are indeed unique, the technology contained in the spiked shackles (wristbands) used to control werewolves is also very creative.

“Technology is neither good nor evil, but I have my own personality and cleanliness.”

When the sky brightened, Eagle's Nest Castle had been washed from inside to outside by moon energy.

In fact, it was reorganized and rebuilt. It consumed a lot of mana, just like building blocks, which was more in line with the habits and aesthetics of Priest Luo.

The Torch Peak where Eagle's Nest Castle is located looks like a person holding a torch.

However, the specific proportions are not normal. The hands are too huge, the torch is slightly short and thick, and it is not round but faceted.

Priest Luo used the green moss used in the funeral town to decorate the isolated peak and the brand new castle shell on it, and added hanging vines to give it a sufficiently old-fashioned look.

The vertical shaft elevator has been replaced with a magic array wind duct platform, and the inner wall is decorated with magic light stones, which will light up with different luster as the platform rises and falls, creating a magical atmosphere.

This two-hundred-meter-long magic shaft only reaches above the giant hand holding the torch, and the rest of the way is a winding mountain path, which is also very distinctive.

The thumb part needs to pass through a tunnel and is equipped with a drop-down steel gate.

The middle finger is particularly wide, naturally forming a large circle of terrace, like a sky garden.

The ring finger part is the characteristic of the corridor. The top wall is the rock slab extending outward from the middle finger part. The natural stone pillars are staggered to form a supporting effect, and there are even natural guardrail stones.

The little finger is half-extended, slightly more restrained than the raised orchid finger, and is about to form a dangerous sloping arch bridge.

Therefore, the entire Torch Peak can be said to be a natural and magnificent work of art. Otherwise, Pastor Luo would not have fallen in love with it at first sight and taken the trouble to clean and rebuild it. It would not be a big deal to have it as a place to stay.

And there are other troubles in this place.

It is a natural lookout tower. There is no mountain that can rival it within a hundred miles. Its original purpose was to serve as a lookout tower and beacon tower for Night City. And to its west is the Windward Valley.

The Windward Valley gets its name from the wind, which is like the wind pipe of a blower. Strong winds pass through the valley all year round and blow into the giant tree forest.

The Windward Valley is also part of the Ash Mountains.

Originally there were vast mountains, but now only ashes remain. It got its name because the ashes were blown by the magical wind.

More importantly, compared to the Mountains of Ashes, the darkness of the Dark Forest is not even that of a child or grandchild, but at most a great-grandchild.

There is a saying in Night City that the former Giant Tree Forest became the later Dark Forest because of the pollution caused by the black wind that kept blowing in from the Windward Valley.

If his professional knowledge had not allowed it, Pastor Luo would have believed it.

After all, the black wind in the Headwind Valley is real.

The ashes spread all the way to the foot of Torch Peak, where they were blocked by the mountain, forming a trumpet-shaped area with no grass growing at all.

In such a strange place, Marquis Matteo was calculating with his abacus, and the abacus beads even fell on Father Luo's face.

Eagle's Nest Castle was like a screen wall, blocking the black wind, but it could not block the air currents rich in active dark energy.

As a result, the vegetation in the barony area is deformed and barren.

The land east of Eagle's Nest Castle is unhealthy and has the effect of saline-alkali land.

But for Pastor Luo, these are not a problem.

No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the Pure Land of Stars and Moon?
The air there is thin, supernatural powers are almost non-existent, and there is nothing to play with except soil and rocks.

There is at least a theoretical possibility of turning waste into treasure.

Pastor Luo first rushed to the entrance of the Windward Valley.

The former Marquis Matteo also had ideas about this place. He built a huge barrier gate to try to keep the black wind out.

But now it has been destroyed by the black wind, like the ruins of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

This is inappropriate.

What is the theme of the extraordinary world? Of course, magic defeats magic!
Priest Luo directly created a magic fence behind the barrier.

However, part of the outer periphery of this magic fence is replaced by a barrier and the mountains on both sides of the barrier.

Afterwards, he worked on the barrier, using his telekinesis to make the huge rocks float up one after another, cutting them into more regular shapes and etching them with runes.

We will not use the method of turning mud into stone here, but turn the barrier into a seamless whole, so that the runes on each surface can play a role.

The newly built barriers have a stronger, thicker and higher base than before, just like a wall of monuments built on a super dam. The monuments are naturally engraved with words, and when the black wind blows, light flows in the etched grooves.

The gate is of the utmost importance. The material of the giant tree has been infected by dark energy, forming veins, thus becoming a semi-superconductor with a single attribute.

Priest Luo even etched an entire dark oration on the door.

Once the door was closed, it immediately linked up with the barrier and even the entire magic fence, forming a surface that had both absorption and reflective effects. The faint light slanting upward from the top even took care of and gathered the black wind and dust.

Then, the energy passed through the magic fence and formed a semi-permanent low dark cloud above Eagle's Nest Castle.

This magical cloud is mainly used to isolate the dome effect of the dark forbidden spell, and this effect is linked with the Headwind Valley here.

Pastor Luo added a black roof to the area to better control the entire area.

For example, rainfall and water vapor, this kind of construction similar to a magic greenhouse, does not rely on barriers to form an independent ecology, but relies on the force field within the area to make all-round adjustments.

The magic fence, and even the Eagle's Nest Castle that is connected to the magic fence, are adjustment devices.

The same is true for the Windward Valley Barrier, but its main task is to deal with the Black Wind.

Including solidified ash
These special goose-feather-like ashes are magical creations, and their floating is like goose feathers scratching an itch, further stimulating the wind and earth elements in the area to go wild, so there is always strong wind and noise.

When exposed to the barrier gate for a long time, a cement shell effect like lime mixed with water is formed, which continues to accumulate until it is completely rocked.

Pastor Luo would organize people to regularly go to the Windward Valley to collect this kind of rock, which is also a dark terroir mixed material.

As for going to the Windward Valley, instead of going through the barrier gate, an L-shaped mountain tunnel is opened on the side. It is like a corner gate, convenient for general entry and exit.

Besides, apart from someone as skilled and daring as Pastor Luo, who would enter the Mountains of Ashes? Seeking death? This is not the way to seek death. I am afraid that it is easy to seek death, but my soul will be tortured.

As long as he has enough supernatural power, Pastor Luo can be a quick shooter.

It was not even noon yet, but the major renovation project of the Barony of Eagle's Nest was basically completed.

Godfrey, who came with his men, lost his composure on the spot, his mouth opened wide as if his jaw was dislocated.

Pastor Luo thought to himself, "The expression is artificial and a bit exaggerated."

The two-headed ogre Paz also came from the fork in the road following Godfrey's team.

Priest Luo ordered: "You will be in charge of this place from now on. I will arrange a few assistants for you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and opened the half-plane rift door, and Nightfall, the alpha wolf of the nocturnal werewolves, Warden and Spring, walked out.

Both of them are in human form now. The only inhuman thing is that their eyes are wolf eyes, which have the strong smell of cold and cruel hunters.

Not all werewolves are suitable to be cattle and horses in the Pure Land of Stars and Moon.

Because of the intake of silver, the evil-fang werewolves are more compatible with the moon energy.

And many of the nocturnal werewolves, after regaining their sanity, are more suitable to return to their normal life mode.

The Night Werewolf's brain was burned by absorbing the power of darkness, so he is suitable to be a thug.

Therefore, Spring, the former township mayor, became a foreign deacon after receiving the infusion of knowledge.

Worden was the sheriff, leading the security team.

The framework of Eagle's Nest Castle's subjects was established in this way.

Build a town and greenhouse farm to the east of Eagle's Nest Castle. Repair the road and connect it to the main road leading to Night City.

Eradicate the deformed plants in the surrounding area, erect boundary markers, plant plants that improve the soil, build checkpoints, and establish a security team barracks on the other side of the magic fence.

Then it was time to further refine various parts of the territory, including the Eagle's Nest Castle, such as turning the middle finger terrace into a real sky garden, the ring finger stone corridor, carved murals, artistic guardrails, and anti-slip slopes.

In short, he must be busy. Otherwise, why is he called a big beast?
Pastor Luo even called it redemption and reform.

Godfrey was envious, but he knew very well that Night City was not a good place to play. These werewolves turned into dogmen and were loyal and obedient because of the magic of Priest Luo's enchantment, not because the werewolves really came back to shore.

Priest Luo explained: "There are about three sources of werewolves, and I killed two of them. The one in Moon Bay was caused by the leakage of the power of the Moon God's Scythe. That artifact was once used here, and it was the remnant of its power that, under the influence of the dark curse, created the evil-toothed werewolves by chance.

The great wizard Adrian who escaped from the Magic Kingdom occupied Eagle's Nest Castle and continued to study his forbidden and blasphemous magic. The werewolves were the guardians he created.

The nocturnal werewolf clan was formed after the unlucky ones came here and were bitten by the werewolves, and then spread out.

Finally, there are the Nightfallen Werewolves. They have bloodlines inherited from dark warlocks, and their origins are ancient and mysterious. If you want to find out, you may have to travel around the world and compare them with werewolves from other places to trace their origins.

I suspect that this one was deliberately created by someone, waiting for it to brew and spread, and then used. The specific method is mostly through the restriction of the lower bloodline by the upper bloodline, just like the blood fangs.

Therefore, although the problem is only a temporary solution, as long as we remain vigilant, discover and report it in time, it will not quickly lead to a disaster.

Because the Nightfallen Werewolves are not simply infected by diseases, but are cultivated by qualified people. There is a clear transformation and growth process. They are relatively weak in the early stage and will not explode into a disaster all at once, but need enough time to accumulate. "

Godfrey nodded frequently as he listened. He felt deeply that Father Luo had professional ethics. Not only did he give a detailed explanation afterwards, but he was also able to explain things in simple terms, making it easy for people to understand the main points.

"If you find a problem, don't cover it up. Tell the custodian here and she will arrange to handle it. If she can't handle it, she will notify me to handle it."

"On behalf of all the people in Marquis Matteo's territory, I would like to thank you for your contribution..." Godfrey said many nice words respectfully.

Pastor Luo just listened for fun. The powerful people of this era have serious political attributes, and their words have limited value.

At this point, the only thing that Priest Luo had left to clean up at the Dark Forest mission point was the Quiet Garden.

In fact, there is another one, which is the center of the Dark Forest, west to south of the fork in the road, where the mother tree of the Giant Forest is located, Dawn Highlands.

The mother tree of Cenmu is said to have existed for tens of thousands of years. The giant trees in the Giant Forest are all its descendants, and Dawn Plateau is a small basin in the mountains above the plateau.

Looking from Eagle's Nest Castle, the mother tree of Cenmu is like a pseudo world tree. Its canopy crown is taller than Eagle's Nest Castle. It is like a fairy mountain above the sea of ​​clouds, and its top is not affected by the dark forbidden spell.

However, Dawn Highlands is protected by a special force and is in a sealed state. Although Priest Luo can afford to provoke it, there is a high probability that he will reveal the identity of the Dark Moon God of Death. Without sufficient benefits, he naturally will not take the initiative to provoke it.

At noon, Pastor Luo arrived at the Quiet Garden.

The Quiet Garden is to the west of Moon Bay, where the edge mountains of the Ash Mountains converge with the Long Barrier Mountains to the north of the Dark Forest, forming a nearly right-angled corner of mountains, where the Quiet Garden is located.

There used to be a village like a funeral town that mainly engaged in funeral business, but it is now abandoned.

Because it is a blind spot and is shrouded in darkness, the undead are still active even during the day.

But the characteristics of day and night are far more than just brightness and darkness, and the noise made by the undead is limited.

The best way to deal with these resentful souls and zombies that refuse to rest is naturally to help them reincarnate. This is the job of the Dark Moon God of Death, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be laid off.

However, if I pretend to be cool here, my identity will be exposed to those who are interested.

Therefore, Pastor Luo chose to let White Fang do it.

Pretend that White Fang is a strange beast that can devour souls.

In fact, it is a not-so-convenient channel for salvation.

The main benefit of spending so much time and effort is that you can fatten up White Fang. The residual soul fragments nourish the soul, and the supernatural power nourishes the fat. If Robo wants to play a joke, White Fang can evolve into a three-headed hellhound.

After a busy afternoon, the Quiet Garden became completely silent. There was no more crying or howling of ghosts or corpses, only the rustling sound of the grass in the autumn wind.

OK, we’re done.

The newly deceased in Night City are no longer buried here, but instead use the salt crystal stone tombs built by the Holy Light Priests of the Cathedral to hide their bodies. I don't know if this will become a problem in the future.

It doesn’t matter. Tomorrow’s worries will come tomorrow. We all need to live in the present. Thinking too much will do harm to our body and mind.

But for Priest Luo, the Black Forest has been cleared, and the next stop is the Mountains of Ashes.

(End of this chapter)
