"Are you saying that these sacred tree rangers actually have some relationship with the wood elves?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. This was a statement that he had not expected. Although the Knights of the Holy Tree do have a heritage relationship with the Noldor elves, humans are humans and elves are elves, and there is not so much blood relationship between the two races. Now Liu Na actually said that these sacred tree rangers were actually related to the wood elves, which really surprised him. "No, no, no, Lord Shen Mu, what I said is that in the eyes of nature's consciousness, the holy tree rangers are the same as the wood elves. They all seem to be a race or profession that is loved by nature's consciousness." Liu Na quickly began to correct Shen Mu's mistake. In his eyes, the sacred tree rangers were indeed all human, and the target spirits were indeed the elves among the fantasy races. They really cannot be confused. "It seems that I have misunderstood." Shen Mu stretched out his hand and pinched his temple, with some regret on his face, but when he thought about how he had been busy recently and had not had a break, he understood himself. Liu Na chuckled and said, "But Lord Shen Mu, I still have good news." "Well, you go ahead." Shen Mu nodded. "The fragments of natural consciousness have detected that these sacred tree rangers have a religious connection with this sacred white oak tree. If I can establish a natural alliance with this sacred white oak tree, then the natural consciousness can also give these sacred tree rangers some gifts of natural expertise through this sacred white oak tree and me." Liu Na said.
"Wait." Shen Mu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Liu Na with some curiosity: "What is the specialty of the natural science department you mentioned?" This was a new term he had heard, but it was not that he had heard it for the first time, but that he had heard it before. But I didn’t understand it too deeply. "That's right, Lord Shen Mu is a professional's specialty. For example, warriors and archers have expertise in using melee weapons and bows and arrows." Liu Na didn't understand why Shen Mu didn't understand these basic things, so she explained seriously: "If you can deeply comprehend the expertise of using melee weapons and bows and arrows, you can comprehend some of your own skills from the expertise. If it can fit the skills of the professional, it will also increase the power and proficiency of the professional's skills." "So that's how it is." Shen Mu nodded, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. Then he looked at the sacred tree rangers who were still sitting cross-legged beside the pond and asked, "If that's the case, then these sacred tree rangers can also gain expertise in bows and arrows related to the wood elves, right?" "Yes, that's right, Master Shen Mu. As long as these sacred tree rangers can maintain their sincere belief in the worship of nature, they will be able to receive the gift from the natural consciousness." Liu Na nodded seriously and said, "After all, this is how I inherited the druid profession. It is also a gift from the natural consciousness to those of us who are peaceful and pure in heart." Although Liu Na obtained the true inheritance of the druid because she obtained the fragments of the spiritual world mark related to the druid, it would not be easy for her to change her job to become a druid if she did not have inner balance and maintained her innocence. After all, for professionals, they can basically be regarded as extraordinary people. Even the simplest-looking warriors actually possess some extraordinary powers. At least for ordinary people, mastering the abilities of a professional means they are reborn. At the very least, he is a protector who is well-known in the local town. If it is converted into the current level of the Blue Star world, the level that most of the Blue Star humans possess is only lv1 to lv5. In fact, when facing real troops, such as the heavy cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Swadia, they have no ability to parry and fight back. At most, they look similar to the fourth-level Swadian infantry because of their more combat skills. But the actual combat effectiveness is only that of the third-level Swadian light infantry. After all, equipment is also an important factor. This is why Shen Mu only pays more attention to law enforcers among those professionals, and does not have too many ideas about other melee professionals. Because he has a mounted soldier and becomes a lord, it is equivalent to standing above these extraordinary professionals. After all, if he wanted, it would be possible for him to recruit Mount and Blade soldiers with extraordinary powers. How can a professional fighting alone compete with a lord with an army? So Shen Mu doesn't care about these at all. But he took Liu Na's words to heart. Looking at these first-level, most ordinary Holy Tree Rangers in the Holy Tree Knights, the bows they held were just hunting bows, and their lethality was not high.
On the battlefield, we are mostly harassing the enemy, and it is really difficult to shoot and kill the enemy. However, if these Holy Tree Rangers continue to move forward and gain more experience points, they will be able to become powerful archers within the upgrade system of the Holy Tree Knights. After all, the Holy Tree Assassins and Holy Tree Sharpshooters are both T1-level archers in the continent of Pendor, and are quite powerful long-range shooters. This is also the normal upgrade process. "If we can get special care, like those members of the Lake Rat Gang, can we also get special evolution?" Shen Mu touched his chin at this time, thinking of those burly members of the Lake Rat Gang in Dehrim. Those Lake Rat Gang members were recruited after being upgraded from robbers, and because of the effect of the Pig-Headed Man's Soul, they have become quite strong now. Look at those Lake Rat Gang destroyers who are at the peak of the fourth level and are still wearing chain mail, but their actual combat power is already comparable to that of the Nord Royal Guards. You have to know that the rank of the Nord Royal Guard is a serious level six. The strongest infantry in the entire warband world and the continent of Calradia. And because the Lake Rat Gang saboteur was enhanced by the Pig-Headed Man's Soul, in Shen Mu's eyes he had already reached the level of the Nord Royal Guard. If he could equip these burly Lake Rat Gang saboteurs with better weapons, better armor and better protective gear, then in terms of actual combat power, he could even feel that even with the Royal Guards, he would not be able to confront these Lake Rat Gang saboteurs head-on. The Lake Rat Gang Saboteurs were definitely not short of combat experience. In terms of physique, these over two meters tall saboteurs, covered with muscles and fat, looked like giant humanoid bears. There was no doubt that they were much stronger than real humans. The Nord Royal Guards are still at the level of normal humans, but after these Lake Rat Gang saboteurs absorbed the muscle-building effect of the Pig-Headed Man's Soul, they have begun to move towards the physique of fantasy creatures. Just look at the present moment. The physique and appetite of these Lake Rat Gang saboteurs are enough to match the food intake of three normal people. Their strong fighting power is also due to their physique. Of course, getting back to the point, here are the reasons why these robbers, the Lake Rat Gang newcomers, the Lake Rat Gang veteran thugs, and the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs were able to become so powerful. That's because they got the benefit of the Pig-Headed Man's Soul. But now Shen Mu also thought of this effect. What Liu Na told him, that if these sacred tree rangers could be blessed by the natural consciousness, they would become long-range shooters with superb archery skills like the wood elves, similar to professional shooters. There was some interest in his eyes. "Then you really need to let these sacred tree caretakers learn how to perceive natural consciousness." Shen Mu said to Liu Na: "If you are meditating, I also hope that you can tell these sacred tree caretakers about your meditation insights, so that they can realize the greatness of natural consciousness as soon as possible." As long as he can make his soldiers stronger, Shen Mu Ke doesn’t care what process they go through. "Of course, of course I will do this, and even if you don't tell me, I have already taught them how to meditate." Liu Na smiled and said, "They are already meditating now, and because of your presence, there is an unusual peace here, so the natural consciousness can freely shuttle through your rule power, especially this Holy Light Torch Tower that exudes divine power and this Holy White Oak Tree. The divine power condensed by them is just right for people who worship nature to meditate here, improve their spiritual power and their perception of natural consciousness." "Well, that looks really good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Liu Na with satisfaction: "You are worthy of being the druid partner I chose. I am really relieved to have you around." "Of course, we are happy to serve you, Lord Shen Mu. It is you who protected us." At this time, Liu Na also bowed respectfully to Shen Mu again. "It's good that you are busy here. I will go and have a look somewhere else." Shen Mu looked at the sacred tree rangers who were still in meditation, turned around and left. He didn't want to disturb the meditation of these sacred tree rangers. This is really a pleasant surprise. Shen Mu used to think that only the devout believers from the Kingdom of Aidengard could study, meditate and learn magic. I didn't expect that the most active Holy Tree Ranger among my Holy Tree Knights also has such talent and qualifications.
Or opportunity. That would be really great, and it would obviously help him improve his strength and foundation. A long-range shooter who has professional expertise and is a soldier who obeys his orders and is obedient on the battlefield, the role they can play will be extraordinary when they grow up. Just look at the members of the Lake Rat Gang who have been blessed by the Pig-Headed Man's soul. These Lake Rat Gang members are the undisputed infantry kings in the entire castle area. Even those fourth-level Swadian infantrymen and fifth-level Swadian sergeants will deliberately avoid them when they see these Lake Rat Gang members. After all, in a real battle, just by looking at their physique, those Swadian infantrymen and Swadian sergeants would know that they were no match for these Lake Rat Gang members. Since they are no longer opponents, they must of course give way. These Swadian infantrymen and Swadian sergeants all understand that only the strong can speak with their own strength. What's more, these Lake Rat Gang members were not clean-mouthed and their behavior was quite unruly. Although they had been incorporated into Lord Shen Mu's regular army, they still had strong bandit habits. Or maybe they were originally a group of bandits, but were incorporated into the regular army only because they were recruited by Lord Shen Mu. Since they are bandits, there must be some minor conflicts between them and the regular troops from the Kingdom of Swadia. Although there will definitely not be any physical conflict or verbal conflict between the two parties. But there will definitely be a lot of small moves. These Swadian infantrymen and Swadian sergeants from the Swadian Kingdom who had made it all the way to the fourth level, these elite ace soldiers, were unwilling to see these former bandits become stronger than they were. So I tried my best to pretend not to see their provocations and small movements, or turned away before I saw them. I didn't want to have too much contact with them at all. At least in Lord Shen Mu's Dehrim, all of them can maintain a cooperative relationship. But that doesn't mean these Swadian soldiers are really convinced by these Lake Rat Gang members. Of course, the same is true in reverse. These Lake Rat Gang members are not at all convinced by these Swadian infantrymen, thinking that they are just some weaklings. Of course, they cannot say it explicitly because of their cooperative relationship. Both sides were unwilling to accept each other and were competing against each other secretly. Of course Shen Mu also noticed it, but he didn't say much about it. After all, there will definitely be competition between these identifications. As long as there is no physical conflict, good competition is reasonable and can also promote a virtuous cycle. Shen Mu was also happy to see them training harder in order to become stronger. While walking on the road, Shen Mu also took a look at the considerable changes that had taken place in the castle area. There were towers on the tall city walls, as well as the military barracks and large towers inside, all of which were densely populated with soldiers. The mood is also happier. This shows that everything in his territory is developing for the better. Especially with so many soldiers protecting him, he was quite satisfied. "Maybe I can have a more relaxed period next time." Shen Mu smiled at this time. Thinking about his previous efforts and hard work, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart. (End of this chapter)
