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

"So, these are the daily tasks of a druid?"

"Of course, if it weren't for your and Broken Fang's help, we would have reached a cooperation with the orcs and would have sent out even more people every day."

“If that’s the case, most of the druids need to stay in the base.

As for combat, doesn't the Northern District Cult have any dedicated combat force?"

"This is going to be a long story..."

……

As an independent druid order in a natural area, the North District Order should have more than a hundred people.

But twelve years ago, the Gray Haze Forest was invaded by ancient creatures from the Far North.

In order to resist these invaders who did not belong to the Gray Haze Forest, the Northern District Cult was almost wiped out at that time. It is said that the Eastern Elves who helped the Druids at that time also suffered heavy losses.

Of the surviving former cult members, except for one who remained in the North District, the rest were transferred to other areas.

The old man from the previous dynasty who stayed behind became very strange in character, and left alone after the newly arrived Archbishop Boll took over the affairs of the Northern District Church.

It was from that time that Xiling and Lian followed Priest Bol to the Haze Forest.

Afterwards, in order to allow the Northern District Cult enough time to recover, the Patriarch chose to establish diplomatic relations with the surrounding intelligent creatures, evading the invaders instead of attacking them, thus avoiding large-scale battles.

Even so, the overall size of the North District Church has not recovered to its original size.

Although new forces join every few years, some companions will also fall in battles with various enemies.

This is also the reason why, at present, the only people responsible for the battle are Xiling and Bol himself.

Fortunately, druids have diverse skills, are proficient in summoning, can fight and resist, and are good at defeating the enemy with fewer troops. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold out for so long relying on just two fighters.

"Well, in that case,

In addition to taking care of the Haze Forest, the existing staff only have two new tasks.

One is a deal with the orcs.

Senna can lead several companions who can release [Purification] to produce the nutrient solution needed by the orcs, and let our neighbors come to the base to pick it up every once in a while.

In addition, we need to prepare winter supplies. Who can be responsible for this matter?"

“Alia, the one holding Bella.

She has been responsible for assisting with winter preparations in the past, so I think it should be no problem to let her lead the team this time.”

“That’s easy to handle.

Then, I would like to select a few relatively suitable druids from the existing personnel to join our rescue operation.

Besides you, are there any druids with combat capabilities or higher ranks in the garrison?"

Without answering the question immediately, Xiling fell silent.

After a moment of hesitation, she slowly spoke out.

"Leanne."

"Ah? That little dwarf who likes to spread rumors and stir up trouble..."

Peng!

"Although my sister's rank is only beginner level, she is also being trained in the direction of special combat."

……

Half an hour later.

Alvin collapsed to the ground like a sack that had been beaten ten times.

If Xiling hadn't stopped him, the short half-elf would probably have wanted to continue.

"Ahem... He's actually a melee druid... Ahem... He's really special..."

"Of course, you have finally seen how powerful I am!"

"Could you... not be so harsh... ahem..."

"Humph! I get angry when I see your handsome face!

Sister, let me tell you, be careful of that pervert..."

After standing by and watching the little drama of the half-elf beating up the human pervert for a while, Broken Tooth Wasteland slowly walked to Ivan.

"Human boy, this little half-elf is very capable with sword and shield. You deserve to lose."

After saying that, he reached out and pulled up Ivan, who was lying on the ground and didn't want to move, and kindly brushed the dust off him.

Ivan nodded, a white light flashed on his hand, and he was ready to cast a [Heal Minor Injury] on himself.

"Yes - oh - I didn't expect her to be so good at fighting...

Elder Broken Tooth (Broken Tooth's position in the Wasteland Tribe is the Foreign Affairs Elder), I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip this time.

But before we formally finalize the transaction, I will let Senna advance you enough nutrient solution."

The orc diplomat was amazed at Ivan, who could cast spells instantly without chanting or making gestures:

"If you had used some magic just now, this little girl wouldn't have won so easily."

I think I'll die even more miserably if I use magic...

Without waiting for Alvin to speak, Broken Tooth stroked his beard and spoke to himself.

“Don’t worry about the transaction. I will ask Tietou to record the amount of advance payment and bring gifts from the Wasteland Tribe during this transaction.

Now, I think you wouldn't mind having an extra orc berserker in your team this time."

Alvin looked at the big guy who was two and a half meters tall and suddenly laughed out loud, a very sincere laugh.

……

After Broken Tooth Wasteland joined the rescue team, everyone gathered together and began to organize the equipment and supplies they needed to bring.

The journey to the Eastern Elf Kingdom is much farther than the journey to the wasteland tribe.

Even for druids who are familiar with the Gray Forest, it would take two to three days of walking.

Considering the possibility of a high-intensity battle, Xiling replaced her wooden staff with a spear staff with magical inscriptions flashing on it - a branch of an unknown tree, with a half-foot-long spearhead "growing" on the top; the spear tip was very short, but looked very sharp;

Lian was equipped with the same equipment she wore when she went to the wilderness tribe, including a short staff, a round shield and small leather armor.

What Alvin didn't expect was that the half-length cane was actually a magic weapon.

As for Alvin himself, he didn't know what to prepare.

Although there are various druid-style weapons in the base: scimitars, daggers, spears and short staffs, he doesn't know how to use them...

So in the end I symbolically stuck a dagger into my waist, ready to use it as a tool to cut fruit during my journey.

Although they were worried about the safety of the priest, they decided to rest for a night before setting off again - the hazy forest was not safe at night.

After dinner, Xiling walked to Ivan and stared at the campfire in the center of the camp in a daze.

"Man...Evan," this 180cm tall lady spoke in a soft voice tonight.

“The pastor is very important to Lian and me, like a family member.

If it weren't for your words, I might have rushed over by myself.

Maybe then, I won’t be able to rescue the Master at all.”

She turned her head, and Ivan saw the white chin in the hood reflecting the faint light of the campfire.

"Anyway, thank you..."

After saying that, Xiling turned around and stared at the campfire in a daze.

"Ha! What's the big deal?

If you want to thank me, take off your hood and let me see it."

The half-elf did not turn around, nor did he make any other movements.

After a while, she stood up and walked towards her tree hole. A low but extremely relaxed voice came from under the hood.

"If there's a chance in the future, of course I can... I hope I won't disappoint you too much then."

Disappointed?

Ivan shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass behind, as if a small animal was crawling forward.

A short half-elf was staring at Ivan by the campfire with sharp eyes, holding an ash wood short staff in his hand.

"This perverted human...

No, my sister is getting closer and closer to this pervert.

I have to protect my sister..."
