After Kant finished looking at the special effect of ‘glory and Serenity’s protection’, ‘Protector Sequence 1 – War Spirit’, he directly ordered in his mind, “Recall all war spirits!”
As Kant sent out his will, the 100 peak grand knight-level war spirits that were neatly arranged in the hall of the castellan mansion suddenly disappeared. Unfortunately, the recalled war spirits did not transform into the power of the rules of war and return to Kant’s body.
“Next, I’ll take a look at another new special effect, ‘Nature’s Favor’.” Kant was very satisfied with the last new special effect, so he was full of expectations for this new special effect.
This new special effect, ‘Nature’s Favor’ looked very much like the favored child of nature in terms of attributes, the talent of a druid. It was even much stronger than the talent of a druid. However, Kant knew that he could not love and protect nature as much as a druid. For example, his Aaron City, was one of the best in the human kingdoms and dukedom, the raw materials for these wood products were almost locally sourced — the forest resources in the Senwaya Range were abnormally rich.
However, Kant was traveler who once lived in an era of information explosion. He was well aware of the terrible consequences of uncontrolled deforestation. Soil erosion, soil petrification, eventually the green mountains and rivers were severely polluted, and eventually even being eroded by the Nahrin Desert and turned into another desert, this was no joke.
Therefore, Kant had long given strict orders to Aaron: In the Senwaya Range, unless it was due to urban expansion, terracing, or a large project site, trees with a trunk diameter of no more than 50 centimeters were strictly prohibited from being cut down. Otherwise, they would be convicted of a felony, demoted to slavery, and sent to the salt mines of the Nahrin Desert to mine for salt.
Fortunately, the inhabitants of the Aaron City were all from the population from the world of “Mount and Blade” and had absolute loyalty and deep-seated obedience to Kant. To them, Kant’s orders were the highest-priority laws and rules. If Kant gave the order, they would never disobey. Thus, Kant’s rules regarding the cutting of trees in the Senwaya Range were fully complied with and implemented, even though this would cause a lot of inconvenience to the loggers.
If such rules and orders were given to a city of the population of this world, no matter how high the authority and reputation of the ruler, it would not prevent the people below from deceiving their superiors and undercutting them for their own benefit.
Kant would consider the sustainable use of natural resources by allowing Aaron City to remodel terraced fields and cut down large numbers of trees, using nature as a treasure trove of resources. However, it was difficult to talk about simply loving and protecting everything in nature from the bottom of one’s heart like a druid.
Therefore, Kant guessed that this special effect of ‘Nature’s Favor’ should be the special effect of “Glory. Protection of Serenity”, which was formed by absorbing a large amount of extraordinary power from the world tree species. It must be somewhat related to be close to nature and control nature.
Looking at the description of this special effect, it was naturally not suitable to experiment in the hall of the castellan mansion. Instead, it was more suitable in the garden of the castellan mansion, which was planted with many plants. There were plants and flowers there, and birds that could also roost there. At the same time, they could also see the sun and clouds, which corresponded to the scene described in the special effect.
Kant came to the garden of the castellan mansion. There were all kinds of artificial mountains and ponds. In the garden, the paths were winding. Although it was late autumn now, there were flowers that bloomed in the garden at that time. There were many white clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. From time to time, the chirping of birds could be heard.
“Activate special effect, ‘Nature’s Favor’!” after Kant came to the garden, he directly sent out such an idea in his mind.
The moment the thought was sent out, Kant felt that the world had suddenly changed greatly. The silence shattered, as if thunder had pierced through the sky, lightning shot straight to the heart of heaven, and the rain fell with a rustling sound.
The entire world suddenly became gorgeous and bustling. Kant stood in the garden and felt that he had suddenly become the center of the world. Everything in the world was giving off a kind aura towards him. The sunlight fell on Kant’s body. There was no burning sensation, only warmth. It was as if he was wearing a bright robe. The white clouds in the sky seemed to have turned into a smiling face. Kant waved at the clouds in the sky. The clouds seemed to have sensed Kant’s will and began to roll around happily.
The artificial mountains and ponds in the garden of the castellan mansion seemed to have life at this moment. They gave off a faint aura. Their aura could not help but wrap around Kant’s body. Kant felt that he could borrow their aura at any time.
The flowers, plants, and trees in the garden, which were originally swaying in the wind in Kant’s eyes, now seemed to be nodding to him in unison, greeting him, and cheerfully sending him vague messages, just like children who shared their favorite toys with him. Kant tried to communicate with them with his mind and found that he could actually get their response.
“Are you all right?” Kant simply asked this question. “People often cut off my branches, it hurts so much”, “Yes, yes, it’s so comfortable to grow here, no animals come to eat me”, “I’m not happy, the trees block my sunlight”, “I can still bloom for three days, and then I will wither”, “Bees are so annoying, they come to collect my nectar every day”… these plants suddenly became like kindergarten children who were encouraged by their teachers, they chirped to Kant about their joy and annoyance.
The birds in the garden also came to join in the fun. Usually, when they saw Kant walking here, they would immediately be frightened and fly away. But now, they flew towards Kant in groups from their perches on the branches. They danced and circled in front of Kant happily, making a pleasant sound. What surprised Kant even more was that he could control and command these birds at will. He could also get their vision. Just like Kant transformed into a bird and looked down from the sky, he could also communicate with them mentally, just like he could communicate with flowers, grass, and trees.
In the garden, there were no other animals except birds, but there were many insects. Kant found that he could also communicate with them, and also control and command them.
