Farming Tree Spirit

Dafik Green is an inconspicuous little nobleman on the Gray Border.

Because of his hereditary title, he was able to keep his noble title. He only had a butler and a few guards, as well as a few dilapidated carriages.

Originally, Dafik planned to cross the Gray Border today to do business in a town hundreds of kilometers away, but he did not expect to encounter a spider demon near this outskirts.

"What should I do? I heard that the spider demons are fighting for territory with the undead recently. Is there a fight nearby?"

The old butler and the guards looked at each other, a little afraid to approach the spider demon, even if it just stood there.

Dafik lifted the curtains and frowned slightly: "This spider demon doesn't look very old, and I haven't heard of any conflicts nearby. Could it be abandoned?"

He has been doing business on the Gray Border for many years and has some understanding of the races living here.

Especially the spider demons, most of whom live around the Gray Border, and have a tradition of abandoning their offspring with congenital defects.

Because such offspring will not live long on the Gray Border, and even if they go to the battlefield, they will only be transformed into undead by the Undead.

"It does look a bit like being abandoned."

The old housekeeper also reacted at this time, looking at the dazed little spider demon, it seems that its intelligence has not yet fully developed, and it only knows to wander aimlessly in a small area.

Dafik was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's leave some food for it. Whether it can survive depends on its own luck."

"But... we don't have much food."

The old housekeeper hesitated. After all, on the Gray Border, the growth rate of food is extremely slow, the yield is extremely low, and it basically has to be transported from far away, and the price is even more frightening.

Only small nobles like them who have no power and influence will be allocated such a barren territory, otherwise they will not think of subsidizing their family income through business.

"It's okay. We'll be there soon anyway. We can exchange more food for this batch of goods after we sell them."

"Well, I'll listen to you, Master."

The old butler said as he rummaged through the goods and found a few pieces of dried meat. He asked one of the strongest guards to deliver them to the little spider demon.

"Let's go. We have to get into the city before noon. Otherwise, we won't be able to get back at night and will run into those undead creatures again."

"Alas, I hope this batch of goods can be sold at a good price. Those grain merchants are getting more and more black-hearted."

As they talked, the convoy gradually went farther and farther, and gradually disappeared on the boundless gray land.

The little spider demon looked at the departing carriage stupidly, and continued to wander around. After a while, he found the dried meat covered with a layer of grass on the ground.

He lowered his head to sniff, and then ate it bite by bite. His originally shriveled and thin body became slightly rounder.

...

"Ogula, how is the acquisition of Luna Stone going?"

In the dream forest, Rhodes found Ogula who was helping the dark elves build a house and asked about the situation outside.

"It seems that a lot has been acquired. Recently, many outsiders have poured in and exchanged Luna Stone for a batch of food. I will ask my little brother to send it over."

Ogula said as he used the magic crystal to send a signal to the outside.

This is something that Irene and the others improved through the magic communication stone of the elves. It can convey information within a certain range and is very convenient.

Sure enough, not long after, Lothar, who was in charge of the city's security, flapped his wings and flew over with dozens of Luna Stones in his hands.

"How is it? Is there any trouble outside?" Ogula asked.

"No, but I just received a message from Her Highness Aina. They have already found out the location of Free City. I heard that many foreign souls have appeared there recently."

"Okay, I know. You go and get busy first."

After sending Lothar away, Augura took the Moon God Stone back to the dark elves' residential area, found Rhodes, and told him about this matter.

Rhodes immediately fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Foreign souls? It seems that after all four statues are activated, other parts of the forest are also slowly recovering. This is a good thing."

The Dream Forest is originally a spiritual plane. The more souls there are, the higher the spiritual level.

He did not expect to recover to the previous height quickly, but at least increase the number of souls in the forest, further suppress the pollution of the black soil, and then slowly recover to the point where he can live normally.

"But the problem is that the guardians have not all returned. With our current overall strength, I am afraid that we can't stop the influx of a large number of souls, especially those above the seventh level."

Augura was obviously still a little worried.

After all, when the Moon God was still there, there were quite a few seventh-level and even eighth-level souls in the Dream Forest.

"Don't worry. After the expansion of the Altar Forest, I think it should be able to carry level 7 souls. Then we can ask for help from Erin and the others. Although there are risks with more souls, there is also a benefit."

"What benefit?" Augla scratched his head.

"Are you stupid? Of course it's legendary! The reason why the legendary road was cut off before was because there were too few people. Now that there are more people, can't you continue to advance?"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

After hearing Rhode's words, Augla's eyes lit up instantly.

You know, they are now in the core area of ​​the entire Dream Forest. Whether it is the spiritual level or the energy concentration, it is much higher than other places.

In addition to the life fruits and holy water that Rhode rewards them from time to time, if they upgrade slower than others, they will not live.

As long as he reaches the seventh level, even if he steals the elders' treasures, the elders will not be able to do anything to him, hehe.

Thinking deeply, Augla laughed, and he looked as wretched as he could be.

Elder Tree Spirit: ? ? ?

"I suddenly thought of a question."

At this time, Rhode changed the subject and looked at Augla with a suspicious face: "You can comprehend the domain talent at the sixth level. Could it be that when you were in the Sea of ​​Forest, you projected your consciousness to fight people and accumulated fame?"

"Uh... it seems to be true?" Augla touched his head, "Those who summoned me did give me a title."

"What title?"

"Demon Trampler..."

"..."

Good guy.

I said good guy.

It's really an unintentional success.

Originally, he went out to earn extra money just to make a living and keep his soul alive, but he unexpectedly accumulated a lot of fame.

Rhode is now almost certain that it is because of the title of "Devil Trampler" that Augla has accumulated fame invisibly and has the qualifications to step into the road of legend.

He even suspected that Augla might surpass Alpha and advance to the seventh level before Alpha.

What is this called?

A stupid tree has a stupid fortune?

So, if he wants to advance to the seventh level in the future, he has to brush up his fame in advance and get a more famous title?

What should he call it...

Rhode is thinking very seriously about his future hero title. He thinks that the cooler the title, the better.

Or let Alpha accompany him to perform a dragon-slaying drama in the future, and also get a dragon-slayer?

Dragon-slayer Rhode.

Hmm... It seems not bad.

It is said that the legendary warriors with the title of Dragon Slayer can do extra damage to the dragon race, and different titles will have different bonus effects according to their respective ways of obtaining.

For example, he had heard Augla and Alpha talk about a legendary thief called "Life Reproducer" before, whose pile-driving speed was very amazing, and he almost never missed a shot, and there was no limit on race.

It was outrageous.

"Anyway, I would never want such a title."

Rhodes looked disgusted, took the Moon God Stone from Augla's hand, and hurried back to the altar.

Now that the development of the forest has gradually been on the right track, the purification progress of the black soil has also greatly accelerated, and it is a time when there is a lack of population.

He must take this opportunity to develop more believers, deceive more... Pah! Attract more souls to enter the dream forest.

And the new plane just discovered today is the most suitable place, and he must go there to understand the situation first.

"I don't know if they believe in the Moon God over there."

While muttering, Rhodes absorbed all the Moon God Stones into the Dreamweaver statue, repairing about one-third of it.

Looking up, he could feel that the barrier covering the entire Death Forest had been strengthened a lot, but the most obvious thing was the connection with the strange plane.

Rhodes calmed down and sensed the weak spiritual connection.

Swish!

The scene changed.

He appeared again on the familiar gray land, and his body was still that silly little spider demon.

Just like when he came before, the little spider demon's soul was very weak, almost to the point of being undetectable, and there were many broken parts, as if it had been bitten by something, and it was impossible to form an independent consciousness.

"Poor little guy, if there is a chance in the future, I will introduce Xiaobai to you, maybe I can help you repair and strengthen your soul."

Speaking of which, Xiaobai is the direct descendant of the Dreamweaver, and should be regarded as the ancestor of the spider demon.

Since he saw it, there is no reason to ignore it, but he has to use this body for a while first.

"Just like this, I will use your body and help you repair your soul in the future, and that will be your reward."

Regardless of whether the little spider demon could understand or not, Rhode controlled his eight legs and wandered aimlessly on the gray land.

Fortunately, the spider demon's upper body was humanoid, and it had two forelimbs for attack, which made it much easier for him to move.

He walked and stopped along the way, and I didn't know how long he had been lost. Finally, he heard a cursing voice coming from a distance.

"It's so abominable!"

"Before, it was clearly five silver coins per catty of food, but it rose to eight silver coins in just a few days! They are clearly robbing money!"

"And the price of magic stones is also the same. The previous purchase price has always been thirty silver coins, but now it can only be sold for twenty-five silver coins. I curse them to fall into the cesspool and drown!"

Several dilapidated carriages were driving on the gray land, and the cursing was not concealed, which seemed very angry.

Dafik, who was sitting in the carriage, also had a sad face and said nothing.

The gains from the sales this time were much less than he had imagined. He only exchanged for some food and daily necessities, which was not enough to support the next harvest in the territory.

At that time, he might have to sell the property and land left by his ancestors to survive.

He was probably... the worst noble in the entire Gray Border, right?

Dafik sighed. Although he had worked very hard over the years and tried hard to manage the industry left by his ancestors, he still couldn't keep it. Instead, he got worse and worse.

"Master, look, it's the spider demon from today!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the side.

Dafik was startled, opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw a familiar spider demon standing in the distance, looking at them curiously.

Wasn't it the spider demon that they fed when they passed by today?

How could it run so close to the city?

Dafik's territory is in the village around the city, just outside the gray border, and it is rare to see monster species.

In order to hurry today, they specially went around the gray border, and chose the normal road when they came back. Unexpectedly, they met this spider demon again.

"Is it hungry and wants to ask for some food?" The old housekeeper guessed.

"It should be." Dafik nodded, "Forget it, the year is not good now. Since we meet, it is fate. Give it some dried meat."

Then he asked the guard to come over and take the newly bought food to the little spider demon.
