My Magic Age

"I can feel the malice from those dark spiders. They killed my compatriots by the lake in the Dust and Swamp in order to cut off the connection between me and my compatriots. They want to isolate me in this lake and slowly seal me up, so I have to do something instead of waiting for the disaster to come on this island in the middle of the lake." The old face of the War Ancient Tree showed a helpless smile and said to me.

What the War Ancient Tree said just confirmed my guess. The spider camp by the Amur River was built to target this War Ancient Tree. Now the ruined Tanton City is no longer worth the Nibru Spiders' efforts. They are reluctant to finally capture Tanton City. They are probably worried that the Construct Knights under the command of the Duke of Samoyed will no longer have any ties, and their movements on this Yello plane will become untraceable. That is the real big trouble.

I was thinking to myself when I heard the ancient war tree say to me: "They did the same to other ancient tree spirits in the Black Forest. Recently, I found that thirty-seven companions have lost contact with their roots. I have been unable to sense them. Other tree spirits are probably facing the same situation as me. I can feel their uneasiness."

I was speechless and asked the ancient war tree: "Are there other ancient war trees in this Black Forest?"

The ancient war tree said as a matter of course: "Of course, our tree spirit family has lived in the Yelo plane for hundreds of thousands of years, and is considered the oldest race in this plane."

Then, I also felt that this question was a bit ridiculous.

The ancient war tree said to me with gratitude: "With this level promotion, I feel that I have the opportunity to grow into the king of tree spirits. I can feel my power growing every day, and I also remember some things that I have forgotten. I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't used a drop of wood-based holy medicine 'Life Essence' on me, maybe I would never have been able to touch this level of power."

I didn't expect that the 'Life Essence' given to me by the world tree in Xinliu Valley would be so powerful.

Thinking about the previous exploration of the role of the "life essence" with the minotaur Luka, I actually thought that the "life essence" was a growth catalyst for magic herbs. Now it seems that it is really a waste of natural resources.

"So, how many of your people are there in this black forest, or how many ancient war trees are there here?" I asked the ancient war tree curiously.

It goes without saying that this is a huge force hidden in the dark. If every ancient war tree has the power of the ancient war tree in front of me, then I have to reconsider the distribution of power in the black forest of the Yero plane.

The strongest force here is the Nibru spider people of the dark power of the Abyss.

The second is the legion under the command of the Duke of Samoyed of the Green Empire of mankind.

Finally, there are the Yero natives living in this black forest. The large indigenous tribes in the southern area of ​​the black forest also have these jungle warriors.

Now we have to add a group of ancient war trees with the strength of level 3 peak magic beasts and a group of sub-dragons hiding on the top of the cliff above the clouds...

The ancient war tree thought for a moment before saying to me: "I remember that before I lost my self-consciousness and was sealed, there were a total of 49 ancient war trees living here, but I can't remember when I was sealed. That memory is not stored in my tree rings, or that part of the memory is blank."

But then he said: "Now, there are only twelve ancient war trees left in this forest. Those Nibru spiders want to occupy this forest. In addition to defeating the Yelo people and Green, In addition to the Imperials, they also plan to clear out the last few ancient war trees of our tree spirits. "

I exclaimed: "It turns out that there are eleven other ancient war trees in this forest. This black forest is really too big. I have never heard of anyone talking about it."

The ancient war tree slowly showed a smile on its face and said to me: "Each ancient war tree lives in the most hidden place in the black forest. It takes some luck for the Green Empire people and the Yelo natives to find us."

"..."

It seems that I am also one of the lucky Green Empire people. Not only did I see the ancient war tree, but I also gained its friendship. I should be grateful for this.

The ancient war tree said to me: "The Nibru spiders invaded the Yelo plane. They not only want to occupy this place, but also destroy the entire forest!"

It is full of hatred for the Nibru spiders. It seems that the spiders who expanded the spider camp by the shallow lake have completely angered this ancient war tree.

I said to it: "They are no longer the enemies of the Green people, the tree spirits, and the Yero natives. They are our common enemies. The tree spirits and the imperials must unite to fight against the Nibru spiders, so that they can be more confident in driving them out of the Yero plane."

Hearing what I said, the ancient war tree seemed a little indignant and said: "Those cunning Greens and uncivilized natives are not trustworthy... Sorry, I don't mean to offend you. The Greens I mentioned do not include you."

It seems that it has a deep prejudice against the Green Empire people, and at the same time looks down on the Yero natives and thinks they are useless. I had to cough lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere, and then said: "I know that many Green Empire people did not follow the jungle law after entering the Yero plane. They are also destroyers of this forest."

"Of course! I don't want to defend them, but the extent of their damage to this black forest is much less than that of these Nibru spiders. Now maybe we can contact all forces that can resist the Nibru spiders to establish an alliance." I said.

My tone was very sincere to the king of the forest. I knew that this ancient war tree was the real master of this forest, and the trees here were all its people.

I just had some extreme views on the Green Empire because the Duke of Samoyed led the colonists in the empire to cut down trees in this forest to build cities.

The dull voice of the War Ancient Tree sounded again: "My friend, I won't trust any human except you!"

It seems that the War Ancient Tree's prejudice against the Green Empire people cannot be eliminated immediately, so I had to say to him: "Then let's form a front alliance first. In the fight against the Nibru Spider Man, our goals are the same, and this time I came here to find you, just to ask you to give some help to my barbarian warriors. I hope you can be their eyes and ears in this jungle."

Speaking of our cooperation against the Spider Warriors, the War Ancient Tree immediately showed great enthusiasm.

It said to me: "Of course there is no problem! In addition, I can also provide some additional help to your barbarian army, such as a hidden campsite where you can place the wounded and do not have to follow the main force. In addition, I can also participate in the battle with the Nibru spiders!"

I asked in surprise: "Are you going to leave this lake island and fight with us, Mr. Big Tree?"

The ancient war tree laughed deafeningly: "Of course not, my fighting style is a bit special. Within the range of my lord's aura, as long as there are trees, they are within my attack range. I can entangle the enemy with the roots in the soil. When you fight the spiders, I can tie them up in place unexpectedly."

This ability of the ancient war tree is simply too strong, especially for my 500 barbarian slaves holding heavy crossbows. If they can be nailed in place when the spider warriors launch a charge, even for just a few seconds, the effect is very obvious, at least it can allow the barbarian slaves to shoot an extra round of giant crossbows.

You should know that a round of volleys of 500 barbarian slaves can cause great damage to spider warriors.

"... Then how big is your lord's aura?" I asked the ancient tree eagerly.

The ancient tree was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let me think about it... probably the area around the Dustwallow Marsh including the lakeside should be fine!"

Then I introduced the dwarf Bernd to the ancient tree of war. Bernd was responsible for leading the barbarian slaves to hunt the Nibru spiders in the Yelo plane this time.

Kalancuo also expressed his desire to stay in the Yelo plane with a hundred orc construct warriors. I thought about it and decided to let her stay in Xinliu Valley to stabilize the current situation in Xinliu Valley. The orc village has not completely digested the orc women with half orc blood, and a group of wandering orcs have joined. These are enough to keep Lao Zewang busy for a while.

In addition, the more than 400 newly arrived barbarian slaves at the quarry also need to be managed by manpower, and the circular valley also needs to be guarded by orc warriors. The silk reeling workshop and blacksmith shop, underground light rail, wine cellar, material warehouse, goblin slaves, etc. in the underground warehouse also need someone to manage.

When Bernd was here, he could share some of the burden for Kalancuo. Now that Bernd has brought the barbarian slaves into the Yelo plane, Kalancuo needs to take care of Xinliu Valley more.

After we returned to the lakeside camp and left a batch of supplies for Bernd, I took Kalancuo, Katarina, and the minotaur Luka back to Tanton City day and night.

…

On the way back, a small incident happened. Our group actually met three injured adventurers.

They hid in a big tree hole, but probably because they were injured and had used up all their bows and arrows, they were blocked by two giant spiders and couldn't get out. The adventurers had two spears in their hands. Every time the giant spider tried to rush in, the spears would spit out from the tree hole like a spirit snake. The giant spider could not rush in for a while, so it began to weave a web at the tree hole outside the big tree, intending to trap the injured adventurers to death.

Just as our group passed by here, these giant spiders did not even have the qualifications to escape in front of Kalancuo. The double-edged sword cut off all the legs of the giant spiders. Then I opened the portal, and the two giant spiders were dragged into Xinliu Valley by the orc warriors. The orc warriors disdained to eat the legs of those giant spiders, and the giant spider legs more than three meters long were scattered all over the ground.

Katarina cut the spider silk at the entrance of the tree hole with a knife. The three injured adventurers saw that the danger outside had been lifted, so they crawled out of the tree hole.

I saw that the three of them were so hungry in the tree hole that they were pale and thin, listless, and haggard like orcs who had just experienced a famine. It seemed that they must have been trapped here for several days.

The minotaur Luka bandaged their wounds. I took out a washbasin-sized toasted wheat cake from Luka's backpack and shared it with them. They looked at me gratefully, then wolfed down the wheat cake, took out their water bottles and drank heartily. Then they sat under the big tree with great satisfaction and thanked us repeatedly.

I asked the warrior with the best mental state among them. Sure enough, they were also adventurers who went with Justus to clear the spider camp. They were lucky to escape from the spider camp, but they were unexpectedly spotted by two giant spiders that came out to hunt on the way back to Tanton City. At the critical moment, they hid in this tree hole.

I asked them how they survived these days? They said that after eating all the dry food they brought with them, they ate moss, dug borers and drank rainwater in the tree hole. Although their injuries have recovered in these days, hunger has made their bodies extremely weak, and they still can't defeat the giant spiders outside the cave.

After hearing what they said, I went to the tree hole to take a look. Sure enough, as they said, the tree hole was messy, dirty and exuded a foul smell. Some rotten tree trunks were dug open with sharp tools, and it seemed that they were indeed digging out borers in the trunks.

Thinking of what I said to Mr. Billy, the innkeeper, when I set out from Tanton City, I decided to take them back to Tanton City together.

Before leaving, the three adventurers looked at the giant spider legs and dark tentacles like spears scattered on the ground. They looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask me that if we didn't want these spider legs and tentacles, they wanted to pick them up and sell them in the city.

These things were originally what we planned to discard, so I agreed without hesitation.

They were overjoyed when they heard that I agreed, and hurriedly collected the spider legs.

But one spider leg weighed forty or fifty pounds, which was a heavy burden for these three weak and injured adventurers. They actually wanted to carry five spider legs and a tentacled spear each. They were so tired that they couldn't walk before they took a few steps.

I advised them to leave a few spider legs behind and travel light, but I didn't expect that they would rather give up the opportunity to travel with us and take these spider legs back to Tanton City.

Seeing that they were determined to carry the spider legs back to Tanton City, I planned to leave these three adventurers behind and return to Tanton City first.

Unexpectedly, Luka gathered all the spider legs on their bodies together, tied them into a bundle, carried them on his shoulders, and strode towards Tanton City.

Even if they were not carrying any weight, these three adventurers followed us back to Tanton City, but they were still so tired that they lay down on the wall as soon as they reached the city gate and refused to get up.

The minotaur Luka threw the spider legs at their feet and returned to Mr. Billy's inn with us without looking back.

Back to the inn, I saw Justus with a pale face holding a glass of beer, sitting in front of the bar in the lobby and chatting with Mr. Billy. We also went over to sit for a while despite the fatigue of the journey.

Mr. Billy asked me if I met any adventurers in distress in the Black Forest?

I told Mr. Billy about the three adventurers. Unexpectedly, the innkeeper, Mr. Billy, just sighed and said to me, "This is probably the situation in Tanton City now. If they return to Tanton City with nothing, staying in the city is not much better than staying outside the city where there are many crises. But fortunately, they met you..."
