Chapter 739 Layout
As soon as he returned to his lodgings, Henry left Elenia and her dog, Dorothy, to the care of the butler, while he took the rest of the men straight to the study.
After a few days of getting along, this elf Lori has begun to gradually get used to human society, and has shown both ranger and magical talents.
Obviously, like most elves, her future will be a magic archer if nothing else, a class that combines magic and ranged physical attacks that only the elves of Hua have the best of luck to fuse.
As a legendary mage, Henry is no stranger to magic marksmen, and he also knows that most rangers, warriors, barbarians, mages, warlocks, etc., with outstanding intelligence, can choose this special class, but most mages and warlocks obviously can't give up their identity as spellcasters to practice bows and arrows, which is simply putting the cart before the horse.
As for warriors and barbarians, their intelligence is usually not very high, so the odds of becoming a magic archer are very low, and the success rate is negligible.
Only the rangers, especially the long-lived elven rangers, have trained their archery skills to the purity of the furnace, and with the help of the elven mages, they begin to learn magic, and then combine the two powers to form a new class.
However, he didn't plan to let Elenia go this way, but planned to use guΓ² "wishing art" to make the girl a magic archer directly from the beginning, instead of starting as an ordinary ranger first.
In this way, although you will lose the unique ability of Ranger and Druid to obtain Animal Companions, you will also be able to obtain the special powers of the Archer earlier, not to mention the fact that the loyal Elven Hound can be completely simply modified. Guaranteed not to lose to magical beasts like the Winter Wolf.
Of course. And that's just Henry's thoughts. There are no plans to put it into practice yet. The immediate priority now is to solve the remaining problems of Am, especially since the ruins of the temple where the Lord of Shadows is located are quite close to Deanisburg, and once the seal is broken, then the first unlucky one will be his own territory.
"Say, head, what's the urgency with you calling us all over?" As soon as he walked into the study, Vaughn, the half-orc warrior, sat down in his chair and asked with a big grin.
Henry sighed slightly and said; "Well, since you asked first. I'll tell you the truth. There are two tricky things to do separately. First, there has been an unexplained disappearance in the village of Inevil in the Uma hills, and I have found out the truth through some channels, that it is a king of shadows who is playing tricks. Which of you would like to investigate and slaughter the Lord of Shadows and his men by the way? β
"Master, leave this matter to me. It's not hard to deal with a single Shadow King, and I just want to try my newly acquired power. Debra couldn't wait to step up and take on the task. Her eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement, as if she was in a hurry to prove something.
The corners of Robert's mouth, which had always been hiding in an inconspicuous corner, turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He knew very well that this female mage was afraid of being compared to himself, so he was so positive.
"You're not enough. You'll also encounter the Shadow Dragon in this mission, so you'll also need a helper. So be it. Vaughn, Fed, you two with her. Remember, try not to get touched when fighting shadow creatures, and trust me, that moment is even more terrifying than death. With that, Henry turned his gaze to the other two.
Vaughn waved his fist and said with a smile, "Hey, hey! Head, don't worry, I'm experienced in dragon slaying. β
"Great! Looks like my Shadow Dragon Leather Armor has fallen off. Feder wagged his tail constantly, his face full of irrepressible excitement.
Although this trip had already made the Demon Elf Miss a lot of gains, she was very interested in the treasure of a dragon, especially the Shadow Dragon Leather Armor, which all thieves coveted, which was a fatal temptation.
Seeing that neither of them objected, Henry set his eyes on Debra: "If you are ready, you can go at any time, and return directly to Baldur's Gate after dealing with the whole incident, no problem, right?" β
"No problem, IchiΔ follow your orders." Debra said with a slight bow.
Henry nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" Next comes the second thing. To the southeast of Lake Esmeer is the town of Tremy, a small commercial town, which has recently been besieged by a large number of wild animals, which are said to be the ghosts of the druids of the Eastern Forest. Which of you would like to investigate and settle this dispute between civilization and nature? β
"Mentor, please leave this matter to me." It was Mike, the leader of the rings, who spoke.
Over the years, he has been working the subject of ecological balance, and at the same time developing and expanding the team of druids, at this moment he is already a fourteenth level druid, and his whole body is full of nature's favor, especially after the success of the Tree of Life, he was directly promoted to one level, and his identity instantly became unusual.
"Yes, it's a druid's job to keep nature and man in balance, but before that you have to answer one question, Mike. Are you ready to start a killing with other sects? Henry asked very sternly.
Although the druids were all guardians of nature, they were divided into countless sects, some mild, some fierce, and some even believed that all civilizations were wrong, and that only degradation to primitive social forms was truly in line with the standards of nature.
They fought and killed each other, and the cruelty was far more fierce than anyone could have imagined, and if they failed, they would be wiped out, and the old people, young children, and women in the gathering place would not be spared, and they would be completely wiped out from the body to the soul, and the enemy would never be given a chance to resurrect.
Mike subconsciously clenched his fists, and after a few minutes, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this may be the price of natural elimination." I have a mentor ready, and any enemy who dares to stand in the way will be dealt the most merciless blow, because this is the law of nature, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. β
"Very well, Mike, I used to worry that you were a little too gentle as a leader. I can't bear to kill. This makes it easy to find attacks from other Druids. Remember. Nature does not shy away from killing, just as carnivores give priority to killing the old flesh and the sick when hunting, they are weeding out the weaker parts of the species, leaving the qualified ones to reproduce and produce strong offspring. Congratulations, from today onwards you are no longer my disciple, and I am no longer your teacher, you are an apprentice. β
As he spoke, a relieved smile appeared on Henry's face. He was glad that the little sapling he had planted had finally grown, even though it was not yet a towering tree. But there is also the power of self-preservation. In the future, you don't have to worry about the annual rings, and the young man in front of him who was born as a slave can handle everything in an orderly manner.
"No, you will always be my mentor, at least the farther you go on the path of the druids, and the powers of nature that you have mastered." Mike said humbly, bowing his head.
"Well, in that case, I'll give you a graduation gift." As he spoke, Henry took out the staff of the elven forest god Ririfin as a reward from the dimensional pouch. "This is a treasure full of powerful natural energy, you need to use it carefully."
Taking the cane with both hands, which looked like a dry branch, Mike instantly felt a huge amount of energy, and quickly obtained detailed information through guΓ² recognition.

Staff of the Woodland:
The wand wielder was a legend of Trimi during his lifetime, and is now known only as the "Forest Maniac". Those who met him remember the dark folds of skin like tree bark. But compared to this staff, this feature is nothing to blame.
Because the "forest maniacs" can embarrass irresponsible loggers and poachers. So someone paid some mercenaries to chase him with hunting hounds.
But just as the dogs seemed to be about to tear the old druid to shreds, they turned around and attacked their master like crazy, and the mercenaries followed to see the last power of the staff.
The "madman" let out a cry full of natural power, and all the plants began to vibrate, and formed a giant monster mixed with dirt and leaves, and it staggered towards the frightened mercenaries, smashing them all into meatloaf.
Equipment Capabilities:
Creates a powerful protective force field to protect the wielder and reduce physical damage
Special Abilities:
Summons a Giant Elemental Mound, duration 100 seconds, Number of uses: 6
Advanced Charm Animal Technique, effective time is 30 seconds, number of uses: 6

"This ...... It's too precious......" Mike muttered to himself in distraction. He couldn't believe that he could get such a precious gift, in terms of enchantment level, this staff was only a little worse than a legendary weapon, especially the summoning of a giant elemental mound, which alone would be enough to destroy a town if the opponent didn't have a spellcaster.
Henry smiled and patted the apprentice's shoulder and encouraged: "It's okay, use it well, as long as you can make the growth rings continue to grow and grow, it is the best reward for me." Plus, Amy will be with you on this mission, and Ires will be with you, so it's almost foolproof. β
Hearing that he was going to bring the big brown bear, Mike immediately showed a wry smile. In his opinion, it is enough to deal with a mere regional sect with its own, and having a warlock of no low rank is equivalent to adding double insurance.
But the addition of Ares completely upsets the balance, and it is all about crushing the rhythm of the enemy all the way. Everyone present saw its battle with the multi-armed giant, and knew what a terrifying force it was, and it was estimated that a single charge could force a way through the dense woods, and ordinary humans would break their bones and tendons as long as they were rubbed in an instant.
"Don't worry, Ares is only protecting your lives and won't attack unless necessary."
Henry obviously saw Mike's helplessness, so he added a special one. After all, both of these people's personalities are a little too peaceful, and they are easy to be taken advantage of by sinister guys, and they can only be reassured by watching their animal companions.
Although Ares seems to be a bit stupid, he has a lower IQ than any adult, and he always adheres to the animal world, so any intrigue and rhetoric will not work for him.
After arranging the two things, Henry beckoned to the thief leader who had been staying in the corner: "I need you to personally go to Tesser to solve the problem of Willen, as for which duke to contact, you can do it yourself, I just need the result." β
Robert didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded: "No problem, I promise to get this thing done within half a month." β
"Hmm. When he returned, he took down the Bronze Crown Inn and kept an eye on the fat bartender named Bernard, who was a spy in the ghetto planted by the harpist. As he said the last few words, Henry kept his voice so low that he could not hear anything except two people.
"Understood." The leader of the thieves replied succinctly, with a sneer on his face. (To be continued......)
