"Let's call it a day. Nature will guide you." Remulos turned his head as if he had sensed something. His gaze lingered briefly on the place where Lu Li was hiding.
The druids did not dare to disobey the will of the guardian of the grove, so they could only helplessly disperse. Some stood in the distance, trying to pry into the secrets of the demigod's son, but they were all teleported back to the Eternal Nightport.
"Arrogant Stalker, I can see you. I can hear the sound of a flower blooming in the depths of the forest," Remulos said.
"Yes, you are the guardian of the grove. Nothing in the forest can hide from your eyes. Nothing can hide from you." Lu Li appeared and bowed to Remulos. "Your Excellency, I'm here to ask for your help."
"Help? Tell me about it, "Remulos said.
"In the Nightsong Forest of the Gray Valley, I obtained a piece of land near the Treehouse in the forest, on the bank of the Fulen River," Lu Li said without beating around the bush.
"Oh, that place. A few days ago, I heard the thunder of war drums coming from that direction. The Treefolk reported the progress of the war to me," Remulos said with a smile. "The land that was ravaged by Satyr and the Fire Elementals has finally been freed. I think the forest needs to thank you."
"I'm worried that the retreating enemies will come back, so I want your help," Lu Li said.
"Come back?" Remulos shook his head. "There is no such thing. Satyr and the Fire Elementals have completely retreated. That place will soon become a paradise for adventurers."
"Ahem." Lu Li had to be more straightforward. "I have some enemies who may be eyeing the fruits of my labor. Your Excellency, I need your help. In order to gain your friendship, I did not cut down a single tree in the forest."
After conquering the fortress, Lu Li issued a strict order that no trees were to be cut down. All buildings were made of stone and metal.
It wasn't that wooden buildings weren't good. Once the wood was strong enough, it could be painted with a special paint to make it sturdy and fireproof. It wasn't much worse than stone. Furthermore, Nightsong Forest didn't lack trees, and they were huge. They were much easier to find than stone.
"Thank you for your friendship with the jungle." Remulos had to admit that he had been successfully flattered by Lu Li.
"I am willing to contribute my strength to the prosperity of the forest, and I hope to receive your help here," Lu Li said sincerely. The reason why he did not allow anyone to cut down the trees was because he wanted to build a good relationship with these nature guardians.
Remulos, the Cenarion Circle, the Keepers of the Grove, the Tree Demons … and even the entire Night Elf race.
If Lu Li was a Horde player, he would definitely cut down trees without restraint. After all, the entire Orc race was doing this. The main point of conflict between the Alliance and the Horde in Gray Valley was the cutting down of these ancient trees.
"Alright, I have some quests here. You can ask your Druid friends to do them," Remulos agreed.
Since Lu Li said that he was willing to do the quests, it was easy. From a game design point of view, this was called having a certain level of friendliness and successfully triggering a quest. It wasn't impossible for Remulos to agree to help Lu Li.
"Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely ask them to do what you want." Lu Li immediately notified the Druids in the guild to accept the quests. He also arranged for people to help them with the quests.
If Lu Li remembered correctly, this quest was called "Saving the Seedlings."
It was said that there was a decaying power in the depths of the forest. Many trees were corroded, and the Druids called on the Disciples of Nature to save these lives and kill the decaying bear monsters.
This quest was of little value. Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also more dangerous. There were no rewards.
Very few Druids would choose to accept a quest. After all, the players were here to play the game. They wouldn't be so obsessed with the teachings of the NPC Druids.
However, if the person who accepted the quest belonged to a forest fortress, and this fortress was a friend of the forest, then there was a certain chance that they would receive the protection of a Keeper of the Grove after completing the quest.
The Keepers of the Grove were the children of the demigod Cenarius. Like their younger Dryad sisters, the Keepers had the appearance of a half-elf, half-stag. They had large antlers and a mane that looked like leaves. The right hand of the Keepers of the Grove transformed into a giant claw that looked like a tree root. They had many supernatural abilities.
The so-called protection of the Keepers of the Grove was an illusion of the Keepers of the Grove that could exist for half an hour. It could help the players fight monsters in the wild.
Lu Li planned to place them on the city walls. These Keepers of the Grove had a few overpowered skills that were very suitable for defending the city. They were Bind, Tranquility, Thorn Aura, and Force of Nature.
The effect of Bind was similar to that of the Binding Tower. It was mainly used to control and slow down enemies. If the illusion of the Keepers of the Grove was placed on the city walls, they would entangle the enemies that rushed to the bottom of the walls.
Tranquility was a skill that Xiaoba Jiang often used. It was a large area of effect Rain of Life that could heal many units.
When Thorn Aura was applied to a friendly target, it would cause the target to be surrounded by a shield full of thorns. Not only would it reduce some damage, but it would also cause damage to the melee units that attacked them.
As for Force of Nature, it was a spell that could transform trees into Treants.
Keepers of the Grove usually didn't use this skill because Treants could only live for a certain amount of time. After that, they would become rotten wood. This skill was equivalent to killing the transformed trees.
In fact, just Tranquility alone was enough.
Because the probability of obtaining the illusion of the Keepers of the Grove was not high, Lu Li had sent almost all the Druids in the guild this time.
After all, saving the saplings only required Detoxification. Any Druid would be able to do it. On the other hand, the other players who cooperated with the Druids were much larger.
Countless Ruling Sword Druids flooded into Nighthaven, then left after receiving the quest. Each of them was assigned four teammates to form a complete team. This way, the Druids could focus on Detoxification and healing powder packs to heal the trees. The killing of monsters was all left to their teammates.
"The power of decay has destroyed the harmony of nature. My friends will fight against this decay for a long time," Lu Li promised. He didn't mind doing better in addition to his own duties.
In return, he wouldn't miss out on any benefits from his side.
From the many times they had interacted with each other, Remulos was indeed a generous elder.
