The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 382 Ten Years of Change
Marquis Matteo had experienced difficult times, and now the kingdom was in trouble in all parts. The difficulties were no less severe than those in the Dark Forest area, but the situations were different.

It is natural for Marquis Matteo to come to Javier Hugo, the patron saint of the Dark Forest, to explore the land and hear what the boss thinks of these things.

For Pastor Luo, time solves many problems.

Now he doesn't have to pretend to be a backpacker and open the map himself as he did before.

During the years he was away, Eagle's Nest Castle established the Eagle Communication System, which not only established the most reliable communication system in the entire kingdom, but also measured the kingdom's mountains and rivers.

In the lobby of Eagle's Nest Castle or anywhere else, a holographic sand table can be displayed with incredible accuracy.

The vast East Wilderness to the east of the Dark Forest has large plains. From Robo's perspective, it is roughly equivalent to the Polish Plain. Once developed, not only the kingdom, but also several surrounding countries can be fed by it.

Of course, the Eastern Wilderness is not without its problems, such as its relatively scarce surface water sources.

In addition, the ocean next to it is very unfriendly, the climate is harsh, and the monsoon landing is quite annoying. In addition, the coastline of Donghuang is long, and because there are no decent mountains as barriers on the sea side, typhoons can drive straight in.

Therefore, if Donghuang wants to become a land of fish and rice, it will not be possible without investment, and it will not be a short-term project. And with the productivity and sustainable governance of the feudal dynasty, there is no way to do such a large project, unless the extraordinary technology and personnel invest.

However, the extraordinary people are not public servants, but rather they are higher-level rentiers who constantly try to be fathers to the nobles. What in the East Wasteland can make the masters bend their backs like this?

As a side note, it is precisely because the extraordinary people in the kingdom and even in this world are like this that people like Pastor Luo are particularly likable.

He and his forces provide positive assistance to human progress, and their power is powerful and continues to play a role.

This is also the reason why the kingdom's extraordinary people have not been close to Javier Hugo for ten years.

The first thing he said was that the person was not there at all, so why should we visit him?

In fact, it was a complaint that Javier Hugo was too eccentric and thought he was a good guy.

Of course, this complaint is only superficial. The more real idea is: It’s okay for you to brag about yourself, but you are not arrogant at all. You work hard and lower the prices in the entire super market. How can we make a lot of money without doing anything like we did in the past if you engage in price wars like this?
But if this is really said, it would be too unpleasant to hear. It is like the howling of a loser who is inferior to others in skills but still wants to make money from monopoly.

So everyone, either explicitly or implicitly or by tacit understanding, refused to play along with Javier Hugo.

Many of them are still waiting for Pastor Luo to surrender.

After all, no matter how awesome Pastor Luo is, he is just one person. We have a whole kindergarten of little friends here. If you don’t want to play with us, but play by yourself, then what kind of kindergarten are you going to?
But Pastor Luo didn't even show any surprised expression.

I simply stopped thinking about this matter and focused on competing with the dark one in wits and courage.

He was anxious and worried because he came too late. The dark ones had been planning for the whole world for many years. Look at what they have done to the dream dimension and the other world.

As a latecomer, if he doesn't work harder, how long will it take for him to catch up?
As for other extraordinary people, what's the point? For those who play with literature, when I was in the Free Earldom, I had a full set of cyber technology. The assembly line products were already at the level of 3D printing + holographic printing. The materials were extremely rich. If you wanted, you could build dozens of spaceships at the same time. How can your magic civilization, which is based on medieval technology, be compared in abundance or magnificence? It's just a little bit of weird imagination. What's worth playing again and again?

For those who like martial arts, every time I build the Bone Ghost Castle, it is equivalent to fighting against the army of extraordinary people. It is a one-on-one fight against the entire army. There is no such thing as surrender. The victory or defeat will be decided in one breath. How many minutes can you guys tie together and play with me?
They are not on the same level, and they can't play together at all. Pastor Luo felt that with his own strength, every time he interacted with these people, it was like a grown man acting like a child at a banquet.

It doesn’t mean that grown men can’t interact with children. Everyone has some childishness.

But there should be occasions and times when you should not be obsessed with the children's playground. Whether you have important matters to attend to or not, you should not get involved in this, which will only lower your own pattern and pursuit.

Therefore, Priest Luo has not interacted with other extraordinary people. However, he is not avoiding anyone actively, but he is really too busy to take care of it.

My mentality now is not much different. For Dark Forest, I just need a place to stay in reality. I don't really want to care about other things as a long-term rental home during my travels.

After all, even in this long-term rental house, the daily affairs are managed by servants, and he is in charge of the accommodation and handles some matters that only the owner can handle.

Only he could take action on a big scale like bringing the Avoria werewolf into the Dark Forest.

Not to mention the difficulty of the pulling process, just talk about the shock.

The number of werewolves in Everia is greater than that of the native inhabitants of the Dark Forest, and werewolves are inherently more aggressive, or to put it bluntly, unruly.

If there is no strong suppression, these wolves will bully the store and claim sovereignty. Don't talk about repaying kindness with enmity, this kind of thing is not uncommon in every world.

When both sides were trying to survive, they had their own bad experiences. Now that the two sides are mixed together, there is friction, and there is someone to shift the blame to. The problem is definitely 1+1>2.

When it comes to specific details, it is even more difficult to explain clearly. Refugees and locals have both good and bad sides in terms of human nature, and differences in cultural customs and cognition will almost inevitably lead to friction and misunderstandings. Add to that the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, do you think this matter can be resolved?
The situation becomes more and more serious, the hatred deepens, and in the end whoever has the bigger fist will gain the upper hand.

What's more, these are dark creatures, werewolves, and ungrateful wolves. Isn't this where they come from? Especially in a feudal dynasty like this, where the education level of the whole people and the national propaganda efforts are not high, what moral standards can be expected?
It is precisely because of this background that Pastor Luo’s suppression is very important.

With Priest Luo, these werewolves who came from thousands of miles away would be like powerful and majestic big dogs. Without Priest Luo, they would have to witness the survival and fighting abilities of the dire wolves.

Of course, thanks to Pastor Luo's arrangements and sufficient support forces, the situation was far from being so blatant that he needed to openly attack and intimidate.

Let me talk about three things. The first one is the belief in the Moon Goddess.

The second thing is the method of practice.

The third thing is the werewolf guards of Eagle's Nest.

If you savor it slowly and think about it carefully, it's terrifying. Although the power displayed by Pastor Luo is incomplete, it is like a dragon in the clouds. Just the little bit of it that is revealed is enough to make people imagine a lot.

Not to mention that the werewolves of Avoria are relatively rational, even the wild werewolves from their homeland who have wandered around the world and have half lost their minds or completely turned into beasts, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful the priest Luo's faction is.

It can be said that it is so powerful that it can wipe out their entire clan in a matter of minutes without any aftereffects.

Back to the Eastern Wilderness, the climate and environment of the Eastern Wilderness determined that it was difficult to be developed in this era of vast land and sparse population.

But there are still people who live there, just like those people who hide in the woods to avoid heavy taxes and try to build a paradise. Refugees, pioneers, etc. enter this area, and it slowly develops over time.

Then the masters come to pick the peaches. The only difference is that some are more direct, that is, my fist is bigger, announcing that now everything you have belongs to me. Others find some high-sounding reasons, such as saving or something, but if you are not valuable enough, who the hell will come to save you?

Isn't it tiring to travel? Isn't it bumpy to travel? The sun is very hot! The night wind is also very cold. It is also very expensive to hire a lot of people, and there are risks. If the benefits are not enough, I will go crazy?

This is the truth. In the feudal era, the upper limit of morality was locked.

For example: If the king treats his subjects like grass, then the subjects will treat the king like an enemy.

Then the lower classes generally call themselves common people. Let's take a look at the logic behind this.

The locals saved a lot of money and finally turned the wasteland into cultivated land, preparing to live a good life, but then the blue sky came. What do they think? What should they think?
Isn't this a contradiction? Although it can be suppressed, hatred is brewing.

Then, the supernatural masters looked down on the East Desert, thinking that there were no special supernatural items here and it was too poor. But the Syndicate Brotherhood and the Twilight Church were interested in it.

Because these forces are barefoot, willing to risk their lives, and their main goal is to make money, which is not shabby! And their core idea is to play with people, and if you have people, you have everything.

Then the local nobles started crying.

"I took such good care of my subjects, My City! My People! But how did they treat me? My poor, pure daughter Juliet!"

The future princess, the queen mother, who was specially raised in a greenhouse to be a good wife for the upper class, was said to be the embodiment of goodness and beauty, but she ended up falling for you in various ways, being bullied and harmed by pigs and dogs. She was so beautiful and so good, how could you bear it? Beasts!
Well, the confrontation has entered a new stage. The world has become filthy again, and the knights have to maintain and promote virtue. There is still justice in this world!

Generally speaking, this kind of story is being played out in the human world of the vast Eastern Wilderness.

Pastor Luo is not a decent person who sympathizes with the people. His attitude is to spread his hands and say: I am blind and I didn’t see it!

To the south of the Dark Forest, there is a large river with wide waves, which runs almost parallel to the Silence Avenue. It runs from west to east and finally flows into the sea through the East Wasteland. It is the most important water source in the East Wasteland.

This river is called the Running River in the Dark Forest because of its narrow channel, rocky base, and rapid flow. The natural boundaries, mainly the huge ash trees, make it difficult to cross the river.

In fact, there are some on the south bank of the river, but they are not as common as in the Dark Forest. It may be because they are a bit far away from the mother tree in Dawn Highlands. Some people also say that the earth's energy has been cut off by the river.

All in all, the Dark Forest is actually a pretty good place, with mountains on the west and north as barriers and rivers on the east and south as fences.

In the northwest corner is the Quiet Garden of the Undead, which was cleansed by Priest Luo. In the southeast corner, the place where two rivers converge is called the Great River Bay.

At one point, a force wanted to make a move in the Great River Bay. Paz, the two-headed ogre who was in charge of Eagle's Nest, displayed a magical storm and repeatedly plowed the land into farmland and then electrocuted it into scorched earth. No one has claimed the deceased's property.

Later, Paz organized manpower and built a super wizard tower there.

The foundation of this wizard tower is a huge fortress, a very beautiful five-star bastion. The Eagle Tower, with its overall shape like a condensing tower in a modern thermal power plant, is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, with a little flared shape, but it rises more than 300 meters from the ground.

People don't call it Eagle Tower, but Sky-High Fortress, or Torch Fortress. It's a subtle reference to Torch Peak, where Eagle's Nest Castle is located. Moreover, there is indeed a large flame magic circle on the top platform of Eagle Tower, and the flames are endless day and night. On a clear night, it can be seen from hundreds of miles away.

The main theme is that a rich and willful person can do whatever he wants. The infrastructure capacity is so exaggerated.

With the Babel Fortress, the area within a hundred kilometers in radius has become much safer. Even if there is a river across the river, the power projected by the Super Mage Tower is enough to teach anyone with ulterior motives a lesson.

With the Twilight Church's skepticism and no awesome wizard to take charge, what's the point of having a wizard's tower?
What's the use? The tower spirit directly projected an ultra-high temperature heat beam, and the holy artifacts were instantly turned into ablation paintings, and the canvas was the surrounding land.

Who can resist this thing that looks like a modified deluxe version of the high-energy laser obelisk with religious meaning from the NOD Brotherhood in the Command and Conquer series?
Nowadays, within the range of the Tower of Babel's flame beam is the place where the laws of Eagle's Nest Fort extend. Although people from Eagle's Nest Fort and even the Dark Forest never cross the river, there are still refugees from the Eastern Wilderness and even wanderers and escapees from the Maolin Plain who have established settlements on the riverside.

It was very safe. No gang came to collect protection fees, and no noble came to claim sovereignty over the land. Even the people from the Church of Holy Light refused to come.

When talking about the Church of Holy Light, we have to mention the organization that has the Great Cathedral as its ancestral home, and the conflicts it has had with Pastor Luo over the years.

First of all, let’s make it clear that there are good people in the Holy Light Sect, and there are quite a few of them.

It is these kind of do-gooders who give the Holy Light Sect an aura of justice and charity, especially when compared with the extraordinary group represented by the mages. The Holy Light priests who actively serve humanity and can always be seen in places of suffering appear very noble and can be called the spokespersons of greatness and justice.

Unfortunately, Pastor Luo had been looking at people with tinted glasses from the beginning and didn't like these people.

There is nothing wrong with the holy light itself, and it is not that sacred. It's just that its properties happen to be more compatible with humans who can be called sunlight creatures. Just like spectral drugs, it is suitable for most people and even if it can't cure diseases, it won't kill people.

The healing mechanism of holy light is actually similar to sunbathing. It can mainly flush out other magical factors in the human body.

Because people generally have a good compatibility with it and a high affinity for it, they will naturally welcome it, but it has an extremely domineering side that drives away others.

After the radiation effects are driven away, especially the negative supernatural factors, people will not be troubled by the negative and miscellaneous supernatural factors, their own recovery functions will be helped to a certain extent, and the lesions will gradually improve.

So it is not actually the kind of supernatural power that can save people immediately.

For example, if you are about to die, a ball of holy light will hit you and you will be resurrected immediately with full health. No way. Holy light cannot replace blood, nor can it sew or glue wounds. If holy light does this, where does it put the life force?
Life and death are opposites, and the force of life is the power that can heal wounds visibly with the naked eye.

The process is painful, however, because the blood and flesh cells proliferate rapidly, triggering nerve feedback, which is similar to the feeling of cutting flesh and scraping bones with a knife, and it also feels itchy. To put it bluntly, it is a concentrated and intensified presentation of the natural healing feeling of a person. The stinging and itching after scabbing is ten or a hundred times greater.

This is also why werewolves always feel very painful when fighting, and howl lyrically at every turn. High-speed healing is really uncomfortable.

In short, knowing the properties of holy light, seeing the human distortion of its characteristics and the addition of some emotional additional concepts, Priest Luo felt very annoyed.

If it's good for people, then it's good. When did it become a symbol of justice? Don't you judge good and evil by appearance? Appearance is justice, right?

The Holy Light itself only has attributes but no self-awareness. In other words, as long as the faith is tuned correctly, even the most heinous people can still connect to the Holy Light.

As for Pastor Luo, who likes dogs more and more the more people he sees, he never minds looking at others with malice. He believes that those who like to flaunt truth, goodness and beauty are more likely to fall.

Not only do they talk big, they also engage in deception. This kind of people really give them strength, and after a long time they will be moved by themselves and think that they are the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty.

Then, you want it all, you want to be praised and sung, and you also want to enjoy indulgence.

To take all the good things and throw away all the responsibilities. When God heard this wish, he said it was a beautiful thought, but people made it happen. How? They cheated and deceived.

Moreover, there is no arbitration above the extraordinary, which is even more exaggerated than the fact that doctors cannot be punished. So although the extraordinary can be advanced productivity, the world with the extraordinary is always more like hell than the society with the same level of technological civilization, because there are such people above the people.

The extraordinary has not benefited the decent places, and ordinary people have to feed more rentiers, and it is difficult to carry the burden. For thousands or even tens of thousands of years, civilization has been stagnant and has no strength to move forward.

Therefore, Pastor Luo could not respect his colleagues, and he especially despised hypocrites.

The master had such an attitude, so naturally the servants would follow suit. Therefore, from the very beginning, Eagle's Nest Castle treated the people of the Holy Light Sect who were embarrassed in Night City with disrespect.

Everyone dotes on you, but you are the only one who dislikes you, which makes people dislike you even more.

Especially the people from the Holy Light Sect. For example, beautiful girls like you have been accustomed to being flattered since school. But you look ugly and rude, are you trying to lure me in with the contrast, or do you have a problem with your brain and your aesthetic sense is distorted?
Especially when there are good people in the Holy Light Sect, I feel very wronged. I have devoted so much to you, but you still look down on me. Who has the problem? You can only be a bad person...

What? You are light, you are electricity, you are the only myth, and I have to give in to you? Go, call your army of licking dogs, am I scared?
The relationship between the two sides gradually deteriorated.

Eventually, Marquis Matteo succumbed to reality and advised the Holy Light Sect: "Go away! Consider us ungrateful and unworthy of being saved, okay?"

It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devils. Pastor Luo is wandering around every day, and he deals with the two-headed ogre Paz on a daily basis.

The ogre is not a warm-hearted man. He is not even a human being, and he is a female. To him, human beauties are no different from monkeys. What would it take for him to spoil you?
Therefore, the Dark Forest became the only territory that drove away the Holy Light Sect, especially during the most difficult times, after receiving benefits from the Holy Light Sect (sunny forest, isolation from the undead, and solution to the problem of corpse burial).

Even the archbishop, who always pays attention to his external image, complained: "It is indeed a dark place."

During that period, Marquis Matteo, the nobles of the Dark Forest, and even ordinary people were under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

If he had not owed the royal family a lot of money, the king would probably have dragged Marquis Matteo to the capital and stripped him of his title.

The reason why the people in the Dark Forest were able to withstand the pressure from both ends was mainly because the rumors did not affect their lives which were getting better and better.

With Eagle's Nest as the super engine, coupled with the fact that all unsafe factors in the region have been eliminated and the economy is booming, the trend is unstoppable.

Of course, if it were just like this, with Night City already exhausted and its economy on the verge of death, it would take more than ten years to recover.

It would take many years to repay the outstanding debt and interest alone if one was in financial difficulty.

The real turning point came when the Avoria werewolves suddenly moved in.

Tens of thousands of werewolves! It's the Dark Forest again. Isn't this like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger entering the mountains?

The neighbors were silenced. The people of the Holy Light Sect no longer used the Dark Forest as a negative example. The king and nobles no longer used the Dark Forest as a joke after dinner.

Some people can play dumb, some can't.

The dignitaries and extraordinary people looked around and found a taciturn and quiet messenger who was quite close to Marquis Matteo to be their messenger, and went to ask him indirectly.

I’m scared! How can the kingdom withstand the attack and attack of tens of thousands of werewolves?

Matteo said, "How can I say that? The high-level legendary Master Javier Hugo who fights in the alien world is the leader. In front of him, I am just a lackey. How about you be an observer and stay for a while?"

It was this concern that directly made the nobleman sprout new buds and become one of the most popular and respectable figures in the kingdom. This old widower in his fifties actually married the youngest daughter of a duke's favorite two years ago.

In fact, this person didn't do anything. He just acted as eyes and ears and passed on what he saw and heard.

But after living here for a long time, I became familiar with everyone.

The two-headed ogre Paz is not some noble, cool, pretentious guy.

Moreover, its master was in human form. If the superior likes something, the subordinates will also like it even more. Pazna was also very careful about how to behave like a human. The first spell he learned and mastered was to transform a human.

Although she is a big lady with a pot-waist and two heads, her attitude towards people is easy to recognize.

So as long as you don't infringe on its interests and the interests of Pastor Luo, and are willing to talk to it nicely, it will be relatively approachable. It especially likes to deal with educated people and learn how to pretend to be an elegant person.

Just like that, you become familiar with people, can pass on messages, and then you have established connections.

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred in various parts of the kingdom. The rulers are overwhelmed, and even the wizards have finally realized that the economic base determines the superstructure.

Against this backdrop, the Dark Forest is gaining increasing importance.

Today it is known as the suppressive artifact of the central part of the kingdom, the heart of the kingdom.

This is interesting. Is the Kingdom of Love black-hearted?

The Holy Light Sect was embarrassed, and it was becoming increasingly embarrassed.

Lamenting that humans are burdened with original sin, full of bad nature, and whoever gives you milk is your mother...
