I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

More than ten days have passed since the battle on the north side ended.

Perhaps the ice elements have other intentions, or perhaps the fallen elves in the west are also afraid of the low temperature and snow, so the Gray Haze Forest has been calm during this period.

Apart from shoveling the snow in the base and piling it aside every day, the druids felt like they had nothing to do every day.

Most of the friends in the forest are hibernating. Because of the riot of the ice element, there are very few ice creatures entering the Gray Haze Forest from the north to avoid the cold, and the druids don't need to do anything extra.

So for a while, apart from playing in the mud with Senna in the ecological field, the idle elderly people in the resident area really didn’t know what to do.

On the other hand, the newly arrived elves and orcs were busy every day - they were in the square outside the Oak Hall, learning druidic teachings from Xiling and some gods' favored ones.

“So, the cycle between all things seems fragile in some ways, but in fact, it is also very solid in another way.

Whether it is a devastating war or any other disaster, it is possible to completely destroy the ecology of a region;

However, it may take tens of thousands of years, or even just a few thousand years, for nature to rebuild a new natural cycle system here.

This is the power of nature’s self-healing.”

“But Mr. Ivan, what about those creatures that were destroyed in the disaster? Don’t they no longer exist?

So why is this considered a restoration?"

The question was asked by Luna, an orc girl who was very studious and very gullible. Her learning progress was very fast during this period, even surpassing many moon elves who joined the settlement earlier.

“Well… this is a good question. First of all, we need to understand a basic logic, which is what the ecological cycle is.

It does not mean that all species remain unchanged, which is the protection of nature. There have been many similar mistakes in the previous interpretation of doctrine.

Sometimes people may think that the disappearance or reduction of a species is due to human destruction - this is indeed the case in some development methods that overdraw natural resources;

But in fact, in the development of nature itself, a large number of species have been eliminated.

The reason is simple. For nature, both previous species and new species are part of the cycle and can be replaced. "

Alvin took a big sip of raspberry juice and found that Xiling next to him was also looking at him in confusion. Then he shook his head and prepared to explain this profound concept more clearly.

"For example, in the fish-vegetable symbiosis system in our ecological field, suppose we eat all the black-scaled fish in it - Lian, wipe your saliva, I'm just saying -

We can understand that a certain species has completely disappeared in the fish pond, but the chewing potatoes growing on it continue to provide nutrients that herbivorous fish like, so we can introduce another herbivorous fish to fill the pond again.

If this fish pond were replaced by the entire world, nature would do a better job than us.

It may be a hurricane or a rainstorm that will bring new species to the fish pond.

Even among the microorganisms already in the fish pond, it took hundreds of millions of years for a whole new group of life to evolve.”

"What if these hurricanes and rainstorms bring alien species? I mean species that invade from the sub-plane."

Moon Elf Ariella asked her question very seriously.

The patrol members under Miss Xiling are very interested in Druid teachings.

“Ahaha! Another great example of nature’s ability to heal.

The natural cycle will embrace these foreign elements, transform them over time, and integrate them into itself.

Of course, unless this alien species is very powerful and has the ability to completely destroy all organisms before the natural cycle intervenes. Otherwise, after tens of thousands of years, these species will contribute their own strength to the natural cycle just like the native species. "

Alvin glanced at the late sky and waved to the group of newcomers.

"Okay, everyone. The evening classes are over. If you have any questions, don't come to me. You can ask them tomorrow in class, or go and bother that hibernating Boll..."

After saying this, he pointed to the Oak Hall behind him.

"Sir Ivan, when you mentioned the Patriarch, could you please confirm whether he is here first?"

"Philosir, please don't scare me. I just heard him snoring in there... Eh? Oh my, Master Priest! You woke up so early!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you bastard!

Xiling, has this kid finished his physical training today? "

"Master, Ivan has been complaining about his stomach discomfort today, so we haven't started yet..."

"Stomach upset? I've never heard of a profession that can perform healing magic having a stomach upset.

Double the training at night!"

……

The haze forest has finally officially entered the deep winter season in the past few days.

The little fellows who had been digging for pine nuts and acorns in the snow have now disappeared without a trace.

Only the occasional cry of a snowy owl proved that there were still living things in the forest.

Thick snow has covered every inch of land in the forest, and even the branches and leaves of the trees are covered with white snow.

Alvin dared to bet that if he threw Lian into the snow outside the high wall at this time, she would sink and not even her head could be found.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the energy to mock Lian now.

Because behind him was tied a wooden stake weighing at least 200 pounds with a rope, and a little girl who volunteered to help her sister share the work was standing beside him with a rattan stick, watching the human pervert running circles in the snow.

As long as he showed any sign of stopping or his movements were not standard, he would be hit with a cane.

"I'm telling you, this is the training method I used before! Don't even think about being lazy!

The upper body needs to be tilted! And the hands! The hands need to exert force!

Otherwise, are you just going to pull the stake around in circles? You are not a donkey! "

Alvin could only move forward in the snow with difficulty, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

Putting aside other reasons, Alvin actually also wants to improve his physical condition a little.

I don't have to become a muscular man like Brokentooth Bol, but at least I can walk more in the woods.

After all, there are no carriages in the druid station, and even if there were, they would not be given to Alvin as a means of transportation.

It was just that the training method of this short guy was too abnormal. While Ivan glanced at Lian's slightly excited eyes, he secretly felt pity for this half-elf loli in his heart.

This girl must have suffered so much in her childhood. She must have had a traumatic childhood!

Is it so exciting to whip me?
