Chapter 355 The Sage in the Forest

Eindook.

A town situated in a vast valley plain.

However, in the original story, in order to stop the dragon vein's rampage, the king controlled the Earth Sword and moved it from the valley plains to a high mountain.

The town of Eindook was thus relocated.

Therefore, as seen in the animation, the town of Eindooc is a special city located on a high mountain.

But for now.

Eindook remains a prosperous nation that thrives on the plains.

This is the power center of the Earth Kingdom, the ancestral home of the Earth People, and the location of the Earth Sword.

And the land beneath Eindook's feet is the land of the earth.

The current king of the Kingdom of Earth, Dresa, is over forty years old and has a wife.

Eight years ago, the Queen died in childbirth.

Theresa was bedridden for a month, spending ten out of thirty days in a coma.

Fortunately, the two children in the queen's womb were saved.

These two children were what kept Dresa going.

If it weren't for these two children.

Theresa might not have been able to recover eight years ago; she might have followed the Queen then and there.

Even though she survived, Theresa was left with some lingering health problems. Whenever she was emotionally agitated or upset, she would experience sharp pains in her chest, causing her great suffering.

The doctors in the Kingdom of Earth were completely baffled.

Dresa didn't blame them.

If they had any clues about this, his queen wouldn't have died in childbirth.

The medical skills of the Earth Kingdom are poor.

This is something that everyone in the country knows.

That's not entirely true.

After all, how good could human medical skills be in the Warcraft era a thousand years ago?

Not only the Kingdom of Earth, but also the Kingdom of Blessed Light and the Kingdom of Abundance, their medical skills are not much better. However, for some reason, the medical field in the Kingdom of Earth is indeed difficult to develop.

In short, Theresa did not hold a grudge against the midwife and doctor at the time because of the queen's death.

But I no longer have any expectations or trust in them, so I sent them back home to farm.

In the hearts of the people of the land, Dresa was a near-perfect monarch, second only to the first king.

He is kind to his family but ruthless to outsiders. He is fair in rewarding and punishing, and his strategies are measured. He can lead troops into battle and strategize from the palace. So far, no scandals have been exposed about him.

Even if Theresa kills someone in the street.

Others would immediately consider whether that person is a spy from another kingdom, rather than fearing or guarding against him.

up until now.

Whether in invasion or defense, the Kingdom of Earth never suffered a defeat, only managing one draw.

That was level.

Ten years ago, Dresa personally led his troops into the heart of the Kingdom of Fuguang.

Unexpectedly, the Kingdom of Blessed Light and the Kingdom of Abundance secretly joined forces.

The Kingdom of Blessed Light acted as bait, while the Kingdom of Abundance ambushed them from behind; this was a conspiracy specifically targeting the Kingdom of Earth.

But even so.

Dresa still managed to escape with a third of his men, and then turned around and killed the younger brother of King Fuguang, who was relentlessly pursuing them.

Although the Kingdom of Earth suffered heavy losses.

However, the plan failed, and the Fuguang Kingdom, which was used as bait, also suffered heavy losses.

Furthermore, the Kingdom of Blessed Light no longer trusted the Kingdom of Abundance and has not cooperated with it since.

That's how the saying "draw" came about.

However, ever since Theresa contracted a hidden ailment.

He no longer had the will or energy to personally lead troops to invade the territory of the Kingdom of Fuguang.

Let alone intrusion.

Even just directing the defense often causes me to experience a dull pain in my chest.

this day.

The Sword of the Earth is also the castle and palace of the Kingdom of Earth.

As Dresa looked at the battle report in his study, his brows furrowed and a dull ache began to throb in his chest.

He raised his hand and pressed it against his heart, but it had no effect.

Take a deep breath.

Dresa put down the battle report in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and let his mind wander.

This is also one of the reasons why the Earth Kingdom has developed slowly in recent years.

Whenever her heart ached, Dresa had to stop and catch her breath.

I spend at least half the day of the day just letting my mind wander.

at this moment.

There was a knock at the door.

knock knock.

"His Majesty!"

"Enter."

Theresa tilted her head back, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

"Your Majesty, a rumor has recently been circulating in the city and the army."

"Ok?"

Theresa frowned, opened his eyes, and looked at the close advisor standing before him.
"A little trick by the Kingdom of Fuguang?"

"This incident should have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Fuguang."

The courtier bowed slightly, and after receiving a signal from Theresa, continued speaking.
"The rumor is that there is a mysterious and benevolent sage in the southern forest, and whenever an injured or unconscious person or monster appears there, they will be rescued by the sage."

"Ok?"

Theresa's gaze remained calm and unwavering as he looked at his close advisors.

This person has been with me for over ten years and understands my character. He wouldn't, and wouldn't, use a vague and unfounded rumor to amuse himself.

He believed that the other party must have some other thoughts or insights to have come all this way to tell this seemingly ordinary rumor.

“My lord, I once sent men disguised as wounded to infiltrate the forest in order to investigate, but we found nothing. However, according to the hunters and remnants of the army in the city, there should indeed be a sage in that forest.”

"So many people, and not one of them has seen the sage?" "Yes! I've looked into them one by one, and they all have one thing in common: they went into the forest alone, got injured and fell unconscious in the forest, and had already prepared themselves to die, but they inexplicably came back to life."

The close advisor nodded seriously, and then pulled out a small bottle from behind his back.

"Based on my judgment, the sage probably didn't want others to see him, and perhaps only by going alone and falling into a coma could he be saved."

There was some green mud in the bottle.

It looks just like moss.

"Herbs?"

Dresa took it, opened it, and took a sniff.

"Yes! This was obtained from the wounded who were healed by the sage. Even the best doctors in our Earth Kingdom cannot concoct such an effective medicinal mud."

The close advisor nodded solemnly and pointed to the small bottle in Dresa's hand.

Dresa was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

It turned out to be the case.

Did this close advisor set his sights on this medicinal mud?
or.
"This mysterious sage must possess exceptional medical skills and extensive knowledge of pharmacology. Perhaps he might have a solution for Your Majesty's illness?"

The close advisor's eyes shone brightly as he spoke.

He believed that His Majesty already understood his purpose.

"."

Dresa twirled the small bottle in her hand, pursing her lips in deep thought.

"Your Majesty! Even if it's not for the sake of the Kingdom of Earth, or the two young princes, but just for your own sake, you should pay more attention to your health."

Seeing that Dresa hesitated, his close advisor spoke up again in a low voice to remind him.

They call it "for your own good."

But in fact.

The focus is on the 'Kingdom of the Earth' and the 'two young princes'.

Once this talent is recruited into the Kingdom of Earth.

Then the medical skills of the Earth Kingdom will make great progress.

The two princes will not need to worry about their health in the future.

These ones.

Of course, Dresa had taken that into consideration.

"Do you have any idea?"

Dresa looked up at the person in front of her.

He was aware of the other party's little scheme, but he wasn't angry.

He was fortunate to have subordinates who were so dedicated to the future of the kingdom.

"Please, Your Majesty, send someone to cut off my arm and send me alone into that forest. Leave the rest to me."

The close advisor cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his gaze resolute.

Have you thought about the consequences?

"Of course. The worst consequence would be losing an arm. I am not a brave warrior. My only usefulness is my brain and my tongue, which are not exactly elegant. Losing an arm is no big deal for me. If I can bring wise men to the kingdom, that would be a great achievement."

The close advisor said something in a nonchalant manner.

But if possible.

Who wants to lose their arm?
Leaving aside what life would be like after losing an arm, the pain at that time alone would be unbearable for an ordinary person.

Dresa looked at the person in front of him and gently shook his head.

He raised his hand and waved.

He gestured for the person to leave.

"Then I shall take my leave now, and ask Your Majesty to reconsider."

The courtier paused, then bowed and retreated until he left the room and closed the door behind him.

In the study room.

"Ugh"

Theresa sighed and raised her hand to her chest again.

I just heard what my close advisor said.

After thinking through the pros and cons, he inevitably became agitated, which led to chest pain.

"The Sage of the Forest..."

Dresa glanced at the battle report beside him, then got up and headed out the door.

Half an hour later.

A middle-aged man dressed in tattered cloth and carrying a longbow on his back emerged from the Sword of the Earth.

He was none other than the Earth King, Dresa, disguised as a poor hunter.

By this time, Dresa's face was covered in mud and ash, and no one could tell that he was the King of the Earth. They thought he was just a poor man living on the edge of the kingdom who made a living by hunting.

He left a letter on his desk in his study.

So as not to throw his close advisors into disarray after they discovered his disappearance.

Make all the necessary preparations.

Dresa headed toward the southern forest that his advisors had mentioned.

Dresa strode forward cautiously throughout the journey.

It's not that we're worried about people from the Kingdom of Blessed Light appearing here, but rather about those magical beasts.

Humans are unlikely to initiate an attack upon encountering a monster.

But it's a different story when monsters encounter humans.

Many wild and ferocious monsters prey on humans.

In the past, Dresa was not afraid of encountering monsters outside.

Before he contracted the hidden ailment, Dresa was incredibly brave.

Alone, he could easily take on a giant rock monster.

The people of the land are all brave and skilled warriors, and the royal family of the land is no exception.

At that time, he personally captured many of the magical beasts in the kingdom, and those beasts treated him with utmost respect.

But he stopped training after falling ill.

Ten years have passed, and my physical condition is no longer what it used to be.

But even so.

He wouldn't be afraid of encountering magical beasts. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could always run away. Besides, a ruler of a country couldn't possibly be without some special defensive items.
