Chapter 112: Tree Rings

Having thwarted the Arcane Brotherhood's conspiracy, Henry was finally able to rewind his time to sort out some chores in his realm. The first is that there are two priests of the gods in the city of Bluvent who have applied to build a temple, they are Theonlia, the goddess of sprouts, and Haim, the god of guards. Henry considered it carefully and finally agreed to the priests' request.

Theonlia is a gentle deity, and most of her followers are natural administrators. These people are dedicated to planting and nurturing plants and treating sick and injured creatures. Building her temple will help the territory manage large areas of forests and wildlife.

Heim, on the other hand, was a serious god, and his followers were usually very good guards. As long as the territory builds his temple, he basically no longer needs to worry about nether creatures and some monsters spreading cults here. After signing some responsibilities and obligations regarding the temple, the two priests each picked a satisfactory piece of land on the map to break ground.

Henry donated three thousand gold coins each to the temple on behalf of the lords and went alone to the Druid Valley of the Emerald Isle. He urgently needs to establish the Druid Organization now, or it will be too late for the other gods to come and divide the faith. As soon as he landed in the Druid Valley, he saw Mike take two other newly promoted first-class druids to teach the apprentices again.

Seeing Henry coming down from the sky, Mike hurriedly walked over, and he saluted respectfully. "Teacher, you're finally back. During your absence, two more apprentices were naturally recognized and promoted. As he spoke, he pointed to the girls on the left and right. One of them is called Agnes and the other is called Amanda. It's after you've set off for Waterdeep. What happened in the space of a dozen days. ”

Henry nodded with a smile. "You've done a good job in my absence, and Agnes and Amanda are my students from today onwards. Now I need you to organize all the apprentices here and send them to the villages in the realm to spread the teachings of the druids. I hope that more people will join us in the future. ”

"Teacher, what if we all leave this valley? After all, we've put so much effort into it. Mike asked, looking at the various rare plants planted not far away.

"This is the Druid's headquarters from now on, and the three of you will leave one to impart knowledge, and the other two will each lead a group of apprentices outside to spread the teachings. If you meet gifted children, bring them back to be cultivated, and I will issue you a lord's order. After that, Henry began to tell his students about the workings of the Druid Order.

The apprentices were relieved to hear that they were not going to give up this place, and they already had some special feelings for this valley. Every plant and tree here has poured countless efforts into it. Mike lowered his head and thought for a moment and said to his teacher, "Starting tomorrow, I will have Amanda and Agnes lead four apprentices each. I traveled to villages everywhere to spread the teachings, and the rest of the apprentices continued their knowledge here with me. After that, everyone rotates with each other every few days, and you see how the plan goes. ”

Henry touched Mike's head. "Very good idea, remember to use all the agricultural knowledge I taught you. As long as it can help the villagers increase their food production. They don't really mind what they believe. In addition, the selection of apprentices is also a very important thing. Try to use your age advantage to influence those underage children. After all, we have to look to the future, and they are our main target for development. ”

"Teacher, since we are going to develop and grow. Isn't there supposed to be a resounding name. It's like the Harpists' League. Agnes asked excitedly. Her mention excited the apprentices, and they chattered together and began to discuss what to call them louder.

Henry lowered his head and thought for a moment. "Since we are all druids, then this organization will be called the Rings in the future. It not only reflects our characteristics as druids, but also shows us the direction of development. ”

"Rings, that's a good name. May our organization be able to increase in strength year by year, like the growth rings of trees, until one day it will become a towering tree. Mike muttered quietly.

Henry then spent a day and a night with the somewhat overexcited young apprentices, and the next morning, two first-class druids set out on a missionary journey with their respective apprentices. Amanda is targeting villages on the shores of the Emerald Isles, while Agnes prepares to take a boat trip to the countryside of Hutt Island.

Looking at the distant figures of these children, a smile appeared on Henry's face. These are the foundations he has laid in this world, and they will grow stronger and stronger as time passes. After more than ten years, no one can shake the status of the druids in this archipelago, and the power of the temple will be limited to two cities, and there is no need to worry too much about them making trouble.

"Mike, the day-to-day running of the Druid Organization will be left to you in the future. I'm very optimistic about you, don't let me down. As he spoke, Henry patted his slightly immature shoulder.

Mike suddenly felt that he was no longer a small apprentice, he was already the leader of a druid organization. Moreover, this organization is also authorized by the local lords, so it can be said that it is only a matter of time before it grows. He can no longer only focus on improving his own strength as before, and will have to take care of the majority of the entire organization in the future.

After thinking about this truth, he solemnly bowed to his teacher. "I will definitely manage this valley and let the druids continue to walk out of here, and when the time comes, these companions will spread our teachings to every corner of the archipelago."

"I'm relieved to see you say something like that, and the management work during this period has made you mature a lot. If you run into any trouble that you can't solve, come to the Mage's Tower or the Lord's Mansion to find me, and if you can't find both, go to the thieves' guild in the city. They have a way to pass the message on to me. After admonishing Mike, Henry quickly left the Druid Valley, where he had a lot of work to attend to.

After several hours of traveling, Amanda and several of her apprentices arrived at the boar village on the shores of the lake. Most of the villagers here were originally purchased slaves, and when they were first assigned to settle here, they were often harassed by the wild boars that surrounded them. Later, the lord sent a few barbarian warriors, and soon most of the beasts that were eating the crops were killed. The remaining wild boars never came again when they saw that the situation was not good, and the wild boar village got its name from this.

As soon as a few boys and girls in leather armor entered the village, they were spotted by the villagers who were busy in the fields. A sturdy man in his forties stood in the distance and asked loudly, "I am the village chief here, who are you, and do you have anything to do with our village?" ”

Amanda walked up to the village chief and pulled out the document signed by Henry. "I am a member of the local Druid Order, and I have been instructed by my lord to direct agricultural production, while also recruiting some gifted children as apprentices. This is the certificate issued to us by the lord, please take a look. ”

The village chief smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry I can't read, I'm afraid you'll have to go back to the village with me and find someone who knows how to read and write." ”

"No problem, I just want to go to the village to see it." With that, Amanda led her apprentice behind the village chief and walked towards the village not far away.

As soon as he walked into the wall of the village, the village chief shouted loudly, "Grandi, get out of here, help me see what is written on this article." ”

A few minutes later, a small man came running up, and he quickly snatched the parchment from the village chief's hand and looked at it. "It's an order signed by the lord, and it has his noble seal on it. The content presumably meant that a group of druids called the Rings were allowed to spread their teachings here, as well as direct agricultural production and recruit gifted apprentices. No one is allowed to maliciously obstruct them, or they will be arrested and imprisoned. ”

The village chief took the lord from Grandi's hands and ordered both hands to be returned to Amanda. "On behalf of the Boar Village, I welcome you here, and if anything happens, please do not hesitate to ask me."

Amanda smiled as she put the parchment away. "In the evening, ask all the people in the village to gather together, and I will explain to you our teachings and some knowledge about increasing agricultural production. When I leave, I will give all the children a test, and those who pass will be taken to the valley of the headquarters to be trained to become a druid. ”

"It's all a good thing, and I'll let everyone come here in the evening. For now, please take a look around for yelve, I still have some farm work to do, so I'll take my leave. After saying that, the village chief picked up his hoe and turned around and walked towards his field.

Amanda began to take the apprentice around to check the condition of the fields around the village, and from time to time they discussed a few words together. The day passed quickly, and in the evening more than 150 villagers were all gathered. Amanda saw that everyone had arrived, and casually released a "flash technique" and shouted loudly: "Be quiet!" ”

After seeing her spell, the villagers quickly fell silent. Amanda began to explain in an unhurried voice how to fertilize the fields, how to rotate the crops, and so on. The villagers listened intently from below, for this knowledge was of vital interest to each and every one of them.

A little over an hour later, Amanda finished her first speech. The villagers erupted in applause, and the village chief stepped forward and bowed deeply. "Thank you very much for your knowledge, and I believe that the village's food production will increase a lot today. In addition, I have brought three underage children, please give them a test.
