《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 125: A three-man team.
Advertisement
The brilliance of the morning light covered the vast grassland with a layer of gold, and as the early morning fog became thinner, tiny dewdrops converged on the grass blades and formed large water droplets. Under the magnifying effect of the water droplets, the green lines on the grass leaves were visible.
The Willa Grassland, located in the northern part of the lush Jungle, seemed to have just awakened from a deep sleep. The brisk morning breeze represented its whisper; the swaying grass expressed its laziness as if it didn't want to break the sereneness in the grassland under the misty morning breeze.
But in the next instant, four figures appeared on the grassland. Many birds and small insects that had just awakened flew away in panic, and the grassland that was peaceful a few moments ago was now in a mess.
This was a three-person team composed of a mage, a warrior, and a ranger. All of them had official level strength. It could be said that these three people were basically the top players in Dolez City and its surrounding areas.
The mage among these three people was Punk, the warrior was Bahanger, and the ranger was Kang Kai, and at this moment, all of them were heading toward a fixed direction.
Among them, Punk's way of advancing was like an infinitely sharp arrow, and No. 1 behind him was like a gray thunder cutting through the air. The sharp wind current caused by their movement tore every piece of grass that was on their path.
The maneuvering method of the Ranger, Kang Kai, was a completely different feeling. Enveloped by the strong wind attributed battle qi, his whole body was like an erratic breeze, quietly blowing over the slightly trembling blades of grasses.
And finally, it was Bahanger, whose running method was the complete opposite compared to Kang Kai. This old dwarf warrior was like a cannonball. He created small craters on the ground with every step while moving forward, which left a series of loud bumping noises on the calm grassland.
While Punk was marching straight towards the target, he felt endless speechlessness seeing the old dwarf's methods in his heart.
But he had to say that Bahanger's brutish style could potentially save him a lot of trouble; after all, he didn't have to worry about creating a distraction when escaping a tricky situation, because as long as this dwarf was following him, did there was really a need for distraction?

However, Bahanger didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his "running" at all, and he only focused on accelerating his pace. The sound of his steps became louder and louder, and now even the ground started to shake with his every step.
It could be seen that Gorat's illness had made the old dwarf very anxious, because just to save a little time, even when there was a stone on his path, he did not even dodge it and directly smashed through it.
Punk himself actually initiated all these. He used knight Casser to infect Gorat with the plague, which effectively pushed Bahanger into his plan, and then, the selfless ranger, Kang Kai, who wanted to save the city of Dolez, also joined in without hesitation. So at this time, Punk was leading his two "teammates" to a perfume factory that minister Hutt exposed.
According to Hutt's account, more than a dozen small and big noble families were connected with the Ti Xiaer Church. Punk's prophetic spells had also confirmed the authenticity of this information. So now, the three of them planned to capture all the Ti Xiaer Church's strongholds, and their current target was one of the biggest bases of Ti Xiaer Church, a perfume factory. Punk believed that a sudden attack by three official-level powerhouses would reveal a lot of intelligence about Ti Xiaer, or at least if they destroyed all the strongholds, they could force Ti Xiaer to come out.
As for all the bases inside Dolez, they handed those over to the city guards and the good churches. With all the priests and knights taking the lead, it could be said that their victory was inevitable.
Although many church members, who found themselves as cannon fodder, expressed doubts and distrust after knowing that this plan was made and led by Punk, but finally all of them reluctantly agreed in order to stop the evil Ti Xiaer Church quickly.
On the grassland, the three powerhouses were rushing at their fastest speed. According to the agreement, the battle of Dolez City would start when the sun Casa rises. So before that, they had to find and restrain Ti Xiaer; otherwise, there was the chance that she might attack the Dolez city in anger, and that situation was unacceptable to the kindhearted Kang Kai.

The three-person team ignored all obstacles and proceeded to the factory stronghold called Huofu Farm.
According to Punk's prophecy, Ti Xiaer's hiding place would most likely be one of the five perfume factories or one of the six big noble houses. But the reason why their side chose to attack factories outside the Dolez city was Kang Kai, who didn't want to start a battle in the city. And he believed if Ti Xiaer was truly hiding in the city, then she would definitely come out of in order to protect her critical bases.
It had to be said that Kang Kai really tried every means to protect the people of Dolez City and even went as far as to put himself in danger for them.
However, the proposal to fight outside the city was also beneficial to Punk. After all, he did not want the existence of the legendary equipment to be known to everyone, so he did not hesitate to agree to Kang Kai's idea and also let the churches fight with the evil noble families.
As for Bahanger, this dwarf warrior's exact words were after hearing their plan: "As long as I can kill Tishachar, it doesn't matter even if I have to fight in the abyss."
However, Punk's agreement with his "live saving" plan did not make Kang Kai change his outlook on the young mage in front of him. He had been investigating Punk, who suddenly appeared in Dolez and took the lead in this mission. Although he was willing to join this team to save Dolez City from the plague, but it would be another matter if the leader of this mission was an evil mage.
Kang Kai was different from the muscle-head dwarf warrior. He noticed that this young mage seemed to know a lot of information about Ti Xiaer and he was also keenly felt that this mage had a hand in the incident where the Lord of Dolez and the knight Casser suddenly fell ill.
However, Kank Kai knew that this was not the time to confront Punk. The situation in Dolez City could not withstand internal fighting. Moreover, the dwarf behind him might not help him at all. So he decided to solve the enemy Ti Xiaer first.
The sensible ranger looked at the back of the Punk wearing the black and red robe and let out an inaudible sigh. Then he turned to look at the red-eyed Bahanger. Kang Kai knew very well that no matter what he said at this time, this warrior who was blinded by anger wouldn't listen.
"I hope it's just my overthinking; otherwise, if this mage really has any big conspiracy............it would be terrible."
Kang Kai, who tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, loosen the dagger tightly held in his palm. He felt that the most dangerous thing in this mission was not Ti Xiaer, whom he was about to face, nor was it the highest-ranking dwarf of the three behind him, but the young mage, who was at the same level as himself.
But in any case, the other party was his temporary companion at this time, and Kang Kai, a member of the good camp, couldn't do things like betraying his companion because of a guess.
This group of official-level powerhouses was extremely fast, and in just less than an hour after leaving Dolez City, the Huofu Farm was already in sight.
On the surface, this farm alone seemed to be no different from an ordinary farm. It had standard wooden cabins, a few cows, and a large area of golden farmland.
But the moment when they scanned the farm, none of the three official-level professionals had any doubts about its true identity.
Although the area where this farm was located had been blessed with concealment spells, which were more than enough to deceive most trainee-level professionals, but this level of concealment was obviously not enough in front of the official level powerhouses. Especially if there was a mage, for Punk, the rich magical fluctuations under the farm were as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark ocean.
Obviously, this was not something that would be present inside an ordinary farm.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
