Law of the Swarm

Chapter 354 System's Defeat

The oak tree is not only the sacred tree of druids, but also the favorite tree of the goddess of nature, revered by most elves.

So it was not easy for System to fool some elves into cutting oak trees.

This is because some elves do not believe in the goddess of nature, but believe in the moon god, and they don't respect the oak tree so much.

But let the druids cut down the oak trees by themselves, it is estimated that the druids would rather commit suicide than do so.

……

After thinking about it, System called up the female druid who was observing the plants in the glass greenhouse, and decided to try to make up a lie.

After getting along for this period of time, System found that although the female druid Yvette hated him very much, she also listened to him in some ways.

At least Yvette would respond to his summons every time. Basically, she would rush to his office angrily, and then gradually calm down her inner emotions and hone her state of mind under System's reminder.

It can be said that Yvette is considered to be the one with the best relationship with him among the druids. If he can't fool this female druid successfully, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to fool other druids.

As System expected, this call was also the same. Despite the displeasure on her face, the female druid Yvette took the elevator to his office on the top floor, and even knocked on the door politely.

"come in."

System was sitting at his desk, and when he saw Yvette coming in, he stretched out a dozen tentacles to form an arrow, pointed to the chair opposite his desk, and motioned for Yvette to sit down.

Because she had been in contact with System too many times and knew System's character very well, Yvette sat down naturally, and then controlled her emotions, and the displeasure on her face also calmed down.

Soon, Yvette asked in a calm voice, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

System didn't speak, but turned on the magic igniter to boil water, then added some jasmine flowers to the teapot, and decided to brew it for a while. Recently, System liked the aroma of the brewed flowers.

However, System's move obviously aroused the displeasure of the female druid, and Yvette explained the truth to System solemnly: "Sprout, bloom, bear fruit, this is the law of plant growth, why do you To pluck the flowers before they go to seed?"

System was no stranger to Druid's behavior of starting to reason at the slightest disagreement.

But isn’t it common for jasmines not to bear seeds, and can reproduce as long as they are planted?
Cister looked at the female druid suspiciously, and wanted to explain to the druid, but he still held back and did not refute.

After all, he wasn't arguing with Yvette about academic issues. He just put away the jasmine tea and replaced it with rose tea, and said before Yvette wanted to speak again: "I know what you're going to say, but this The roses are not picked from the roses, but given to me by the rose demon Duoduo, you should have seen her."

System's words made Yvette show a little anger, and her cheeks flushed because of anger, but Yvette's face returned to calm.

Accompanied by the boiling kettle, System poured tea into the teapot and asked Yvette, "I heard that the oak tree is the sacred tree for your druids?"

Yvette frowned slightly, and said a cold voice to System: "The holy tree of the swarm druid is also an oak tree."

"Oh, that's right, but that's all in the past. You see, I have betrayed me. I am now the bishop of the God of Kryptonite, and I only have one holy tree now, and that is the banana tree." Sester Tom babbled at Yvette, and tapped the glass on the tabletop with his tentacles and continued: "Let me make an analogy, if I cut down an oak tree, you should be angry, then look at this, I cut down an oak tree, you Come and get revenge on me, how about chopping down a banana tree?"

System looked into Yvette's eyes, only to find that the female druid was looking at him with disdain, and then quickly regained his composure.

It seems that in the past few months, the female druid's contact with him has had a very good effect on tempering her state of mind, and it has been difficult for System to provoke her into anger with words.

In fact, System originally wanted to continue saying: "Well, since you don't want to suffer, how about I cut down a banana tree myself, and then you cut down an oak tree?"

But now, the female druid didn't give him a chance to continue talking.

Staring at the gradually rising heat from the purple sand teapot, the female druid said calmly again: "If there is nothing else, then I'm leaving."

System shook his head and said, "Young Druid, don't be impatient. It seems that your state of mind has been tempered very well. In fact, what I came to find you to do is related to the oak tree."

Yvette looked at System and didn't speak, but just waited quietly.

System continued to speak: "I saw that you are often looking at the plants in the glass greenhouse recently. In fact, I can also build some glass greenhouses for you. You can also transplant the oak trees into the greenhouse, so that the oak trees can grow in the glass greenhouse. It never withers in the greenhouse, and you only need to provide a reward."

As long as Yvette makes a move, System can move some hands and feet when the druid transplants the oak tree, which will create the illusion that the druid has destroyed the oak tree.

However, Yvette rejected System's proposal without any hesitation, because in Yvette's view, it is very normal for oak trees to wither in autumn and winter every year.

Although System's actions looked good, they violated the laws of nature, and System was also an evil swarm druid, so it was very likely that he would do something to the oak tree.

……

Looking at the female druid who left his office, System shook his head in disappointment, perhaps because he had prepared too hastily, and his deception failed in the end.

System didn't give up right away, he called two druids who hated him but recognized [Data Template] and the God of Krypton Gold one after another, and then talked with these two druids about the oak tree .

However, after two days of negotiations, System did not reach any conclusions in the end. These druids obviously had their own bottom line, and they did not compromise on the matter of the oak tree. No matter how System made up lies, these druids Ruy has only one opinion about the oak tree - can't move.

In the end, System could only give up creating the illusion that the druid destroyed the oak tree.

……

In desperation, System could only settle for the next best thing, and let the elves cut down the oak tree according to the position marked on the [data template] map through the mission issued in the mission system...
