One month later, Endless Tower, Ranch.

"Druidism is spread all over the continent, and it is mainly believed by humans and elves. But in terms of the center and birthplace, it is still in Muxia. Let me estimate that 70% of the druids in the world should be the elves of Muxia.

"

While grooming the horses, Cohen answered Ganoen's question, "In Druid legend, the sacred tree planted by the goddess of life is in the Sunset Forest City in late summer, and the royal palace in late summer is built on it.

.The one who currently serves as the Grand Druid of the Mu Xia Druid Sect is the Princess of Mu Xia, Her Royal Highness Patriz. She is the only Druid in the legendary realm that I know."

"How many druids above the master level are there in Muxia?" Ganon continued to ask.

The temple and ranch are progressing quite smoothly. The only thing Ganon needs to think about now is the candidate to activate the temple, so he made a special trip to ask Cohen for information about the druid.

As long as the Temple of the Earth Mother and the pasture are operating at the same time, his territory will no longer have to worry about food, and he can even engage in agriculture to increase income.

In the past, although Helganorn would not provoke the Empire and Mu Xia, they would choose to cross the mountains to plunder the settlements of some small forces.

But now, in order to ensure that he can develop smoothly in the territory, Ganouen has completely given up on this old profession that may bring hidden dangers.

In this way, he had to consider other sources of income. After all, whether it was to meet his daily needs or to repair the Endless Tower, everything cost money. He felt a little uneasy when he thought that his accumulated wealth would only decrease rather than increase.

.

If a druid can bring him enough output and income, then it is actually cost-effective to spend some money to recruit him.

"I'm not completely sure. There should be about ten or twenty people." Cohen scratched his head, "Is the lord planning to recruit a high-level Druid?"

Ganon nodded: "I need someone to serve as the priest of the temple, and he must be a master."

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Those who can reach the master level basically have a certain status in the country, just like Lord Jamil. There are four extraordinary druids in the late summer, and they all serve as druid.

Elder of Rui Cult." Cohen said.

"Isn't there anyone who lives in seclusion?" Ganon asked.

"There must be some, but if it can be easily found and persuaded to leave the mountain, it wouldn't be called seclusion." Cohen shrugged.

Ganon crossed his hands thoughtfully and let out a long breath: "Are there no high-level druids who have no office and no seclusion?"

This was just a casual sentiment, and he himself didn't think there was such a person.

"Yes, there is..." Cohen said casually.

"Oh?" Ganon looked over.

"But that is the princess of Mu Xia, Your Highness Isabel." Cohen spread out his hands, "I heard rumors that she is very talented as a druid, and is being cultivated by the Druids as the successor to the princess.

She has invested a lot of resources and reached the master level before she reached adulthood. Even if she cannot become an archdruid in the future, she should be able to become an elder, although she does not have any position yet."

Ganon could only smile bitterly when he heard this. This was indeed a candidate he couldn't consider.

"Sometimes I really envy those members of the royal family. They have won at the starting line since they were born. I have been a druid for longer than that princess has lived, and I am still in this state." Cohen sighed.

road.

Now he and Ganouen have become familiar with each other, and they chat a few words from time to time, and their speech is not as reserved as before.

"Being in the royal family is not necessarily a good thing." Ganon replied smoothly.

Just like Zhenna, the disputes within the royal family not only almost cost her her life, but also made her unable to return to her homeland, leaving her with the regret of not being able to see her father for the last time.

"That's right. People like me can't stand the many rules and regulations of the nobility. I heard that they can't even eat food that has not been consecrated by the priests. They also have to pay attention to their image in front of the people at all times. Just think about it.

Tired." Cohen smiled and nodded.

Speaking of "image", he seemed to have thought of something: "Then again, to be able to reach the master level before adulthood, Her Highness Isabel is indeed extremely talented, so her appearance can grow so well...

"

"What does good looks have to do with Druid's talent?" Ganon couldn't understand his logic.

"Lord, the Druid's transformation is not just about turning into animals. If you reach the master level or above, you can actually make subtle adjustments to your body over time. While your body is still growing,

The effect is particularly obvious. Therefore, high-level druids are basically handsome men and beautiful women." Cohen explained.

"In other words, the elf princess is very beautiful." Ganon asked casually.

"She is recognized by Mu Xia as the most beautiful woman second only to Her Royal Highness the Princess! I once saw her at a celebration. Not only is she beautiful, but her figure is incredible, especially those breasts. Wow, the future is bright, maybe

Can surpass Her Royal Highness the Princess..." At this point, Cohen showed a look of regret, "Speaking of which, my wife is good at everything else, but she is a bit lacking in this aspect."

"Oh?" Ganon raised his eyebrows, but his eyes did not look at Cohen. Instead, he looked over Cohen's shoulder and towards a certain "open-minded" black-haired female elf in the distance.

That was Cohen's wife. She was walking towards here just now holding a meal basket prepared for her husband.

When Cohen said the last sentence, she silently put down the meal basket and picked up the wooden hammer used to repair the nearby fence.

"Cohen, does your wife have good ears?" Ganouen asked meaningfully.

"Ah? There's nothing wrong with her hearing. Lord, why do you ask that..." Cohen answered in confusion.

But he reacted in the next second, his expression changed, and then he slowly turned around as if his neck was rusty, and saw his wife walking over with a wooden hammer in hand, smiling half-smilingly.

"My dear, if we have something to say, please put down the guy who is doing the work first...ah!!"

Ganon turned around and inspected other places, ignoring the family tragedy that happened later.

------------------

A few days passed after that, and one evening at dusk, Ganouen and Zhenna were playing chess in the library to pass the time.

There are not so many entertainment methods in this world. Ganon quickly learned the popular chess and card games in this world from Zhenna. He also taught Zhenna the chess and card games he remembered and had several sets carved out of stone.

Chessboard pieces.

He occasionally plays chess with Zhenna, which not only kills time, but also enhances their relationship.

When Zhenna was moving the chess pieces, his eyes accidentally glanced at Zhenna's chest.

The conversation he had with Cohen a few days ago, which he had almost forgotten, resurfaced in an instant.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhenna suddenly frowned.

The smile that appeared on the corner of Ganouen's mouth made her feel that something was wrong.

"Nothing." Ganon stretched out his hand towards the chess piece as if nothing had happened, then suddenly stopped.

[Watchman] suddenly reacted.

"Um?"

Ganon skillfully turned on the projection of [Watcher] and saw a new humanoid target entering the surveillance range from the direction of Breeze Forest.

From the silhouette, the target looked like an elf, running swiftly through the woods and bushes, towards the direction of the Endless Tower.

Another uninvited intruder.

Ganon was almost used to this kind of thing by now. He calmly zoomed in on the screen and observed carefully, and found that what was coming was a female elf, dressed as a ranger in a green cloak, carrying a baggage and a bow and arrow.

Her face was not covered, her skin was like cream, and her figure was slim.

In the identification of [Watcher], she is surrounded by a yellow-green aura. Based on Ganon's current strength, the yellow-green aura means that the risk is not high but still exists. Most of this female elf has

A god-given profession, and like Zhenna, she is at the master level.

A female elf who was very beautiful, had a hot body, and seemed to be a master-level expert came in.

Could it be...

Princess of late summer!?

No, how is that possible?

She is a princess and I will live broadcast to eat gold coins.

After finishing a wave of casual self-complaints in his mind, Ganouen threw away this fantasy-like speculation that could only appear in novels, and quickly conducted a wave of rational analysis.

People from the Late Summer Forest Guards? Or maybe from the Druids?

I always thought it was impossible. He was now in contact with Mu Xia. If the other party wanted to observe and spy on him, there were clearly more suitable channels, such as through the elves who were working for him.

Moreover, this kind of spying is too direct and clumsy to say the least. There is no disguise or deformation, as if...

I made a special trip for him to discover it!

Could it be that a third-party force wanted to cause trouble in his territory and deliberately provoke a conflict between him and Mu Xia?

Ganon finally felt a little nervous and quickly made a decision:

First, capture this guy as quietly as possible, and then take him back for a thorough interrogation!

"Ganoun?" Zhenna showed a confused look.
