Chapter 52 Oak (Part 1)

The breakfast was porridge and jerky, and it was cooked like rice paste and it was very fragrant.

Although Murphy felt a little disappointed because of the departure of the Hawk Queen Evanna, he was never a sentimental person.

So, all this did not affect his appetite, nor did he affect his plan to find ebony.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning.

Murphy ordered the team to continue deeper and head to the north of the gathering place of the wood elves, which is less than ten kilometers away from the Karazan Mountains, and is on the edge of the forest. It was also the place where the wood elves sacrifices held festivals.

The number of ebony is very rare, and Murphy has not even seen a shadow now.

In fact, he already has the idea that this rare wood has been transplanted away by the wood elves during the migration. But since he has come, he still has to give it a try.

Thankfully, Murphy has always had the habit of preparing for both hands.

Oak trees are one of the holy trees advocated by the elves and are also a symbol of the elves druids. In legend, oaks that have spent a long time can be awakened by the druids. After awakening, the oaks will become ancient tree people. They are the most reliable allies of the elves. They are also the root of the incarnation of ancient trees and guardian ancient trees in the last era. The ancient trees have powerful power and can use most of the natural magic. They are creatures that are not weaker than dragons in the legend.

In fact, ancient tree people are very rare.

Because awakening the ancient tree people requires a great druid with high magic attainments, and also needs to find an ancient tree that is recorded for tens of thousands of years! As we all know, the inheritance of the druids of the elves had already appeared in the early stages of the Second Era.

Moreover, human history is only thousands of years at present.

The elves have the habit of planting oak trees regularly every year, because oak trees are an undesirable part of the elves' lives.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a large number of oak can be found near the gathering places of the elves.

This is Murphy's second-hand plan!

Oak has a hard texture and good elasticity. It is a substitute for making longbows without yew. According to Murphy's estimate, the oak in this world should be older because it is planted by elves, and the material should not be too bad.

When I couldn't find the ebony, Murphy planned to transport a batch of oak back first.

Since you are here, you can't go home empty-handed, right?

The group continued to go deep into the dense forest.

Many beasts were shocked to escape along the way. Even some ferocious beasts could only escape in a panic when facing so many warriors.

The so-called saying that there are monsters everywhere in the other world is not valid at all!

There is an old saying in Middle Earth, which is called "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers"!

Why?

Because there is not enough food!

There are always only a few creatures with powerful power, just like the Karazan Hurricane Wingshock. The entire Karazan Mountains has only a few hundred hurricane Wingshocks. You should know that the Karazan Mountains is a large mountain range that stretches thousands of miles, almost connecting the route from the south to the east of the continent!

A Karazan adult Hurricane Wingsho is able to eat one or two wild boars weighing hundreds of pounds a day.

Assuming there are only 500 Hurricane Karazan Wingshoes in total and only eat one wild boar every day, then there are 15,000 wild boars in a month and 180,000 wild boars in a year!

What a terrible hunting amount this is?

Just as the southern wilderness dragon occupied nearly half of the province in its previous life, the more powerful the creature was, the larger the territory it occupied!

As far as Murphy is seeing it now.

The largest composition in the wild in this world is still an ordinary beast. The so-called monsters are not that common.

Large groups of grassland wolves are the biggest trouble for merchants, and even if they encounter tiger, leopard, bear, and even an experienced Taoist warrior, they will have a headache.

It must be mentioned here that the zombies are also in the tiger's recipes!

Of course, tigers are also within the scope of gnoll hunting.

Last time, Murphy saw an adventurer team hunting a tiger in the territory. The tiger was much larger than that of the earth, and its weight was estimated to reach 800 pounds, which is more than 700 pounds. It was almost close to the size of the Siberian tiger. In the adventurers' mouths, Murphy learned that the beasts in the southern plains were generally smaller due to their living environment, and their combat effectiveness was lower than other harsh environments.

The more famous hilly tigers can basically weigh more than 1,000 pounds!

Such beasts weighing nearly half a ton, let alone humans, even the orc dwarfs are in their recipes!

It was not until around twelve o'clock noon that Murphy and his party arrived at their destination.

After a brief rest, Murphy ordered the soldiers to scatter and search for ebony.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, after searching the nearby areas, Murphy had to regretfully discover that the legendary ebony was really not left by the wood elves!

Because he found a very abrupt and open area about five hundred meters south of the wood elves' sacrifice site.

All traces have been covered by time.

But some clues can still make Murphy find out the clues.

There is no tree within a radius of about 300 meters, but it is covered with weeds. There is an insignificant pit every fifteen meters on the ground. Although time has passed, the traces have not been covered up. The most obvious sign is that except for this radius of 300 meters, a large number of oak trees have been planted in other places!

This is worth pondering!

With a little hope in his heart, Murphy waited until after all the general guard soldiers returned at five o'clock in the afternoon. He had to be sure that ebony was gone.

The wood elves did not leave these precious trees.

The only thing to be thankful is that Murphy found a large number of oaks, most of which are over fifty years old and are already in place for imitating centaur longbows.

Many affairs in the territory still need to be checked by Murphy himself. It cannot be just because of the ebony incident that drags down the development of the territory.

Therefore, Murphy was able to find ebony for only two days.

In two days, no matter whether the legendary ebony could be found, he would go back to take charge. Without him, there would be no one who would have made any decisions on many affairs in the territory.

Although Mrs. Elizabeth is capable, she is an outsider after all. Although she has a certain position in the territory, she cannot gain the recognition of the town residents. The high priest has a sufficient prestige, but she is a person who is too gentle and not used to making decisions. In fact, Murphy has always expressed incredible that she can suppress the new priests!

The only general who could reassure Murphy was no longer in the territory.

If something happens like a gnoll ambush, things will be really troublesome.

Since the oak has been found, the task is half completed.

In the evening, Murphy joined the soldiers with the few guarding the horses, and then embarked on the road to return to the territory.

These days, he has to arrange people to find a way to get the oak back.
Chapter completed!
