Chapter 1658: "The Arsonist" and "The Wicker Man"

For personal reasons, Baron Laval never publicly acknowledged the sacrifices and contributions made by the Assa people to repel the invaders.
The veteran governor Nichols, unlike Baron Laval, is not as "axed". He has to recognize the credit of the aboriginal people, and he must increase his efforts to pay the Asa tribes. After all, he has to count on others to help himself in fighting!
Not long after the Battle of Lake Aosta, Sir Castes, under the auspices of Governor Nichols, visited Shizhu Town with sickness, the purpose of course was to maintain the relationship between the colonial authorities and the Walsong family and ensure Assa The position of the tribes actively participating in the war is unshakable.
"Meadgard Tribune" sent a team of journalists to visit Shizhu Town with the Lord, and published the news of the meeting between Sir Castes and Elder Sigmund on the front page, making public opinion and advocating colonists and indigenous peoples. Coexist in harmony, like a family.
Under the intentional guidance of news media, at least on the bright side, the contradiction between the colonists and the aborigines tended to ease, and it seemed that the time had gone back, and they returned to the colonists for the first time to set foot on the east coast of the new continent to celebrate the Thanksgiving with the aborigines. "The honeymoon period.
At the same time that Sir Castis was engaged in diplomatic activities, Baron Laval was not idle.
Joan learned from Arnold that his elder brother took advantage of the truce to recruit 2,000 militiamen from various towns and villages in the colony through brutal means such as forcible appropriations, and personally led the team to practice.
Most of the militiamen from the countryside have the bad habit of being free and sloppy.
Baron Laval did not believe in this evil. The militiamen from all over the country, after more than a month of rigorous training, had undergone a transformation like a rebirth, from a piece of sand to a qualified soldier with strict military discipline.
Such a change, even those political enemies who had used the "devil scandal" to attack Baron Laval, had to admit that, if it were not already retired from active service, the disease-ridden Dantridge Castis, Benedict La Var is undoubtedly the number one outstanding general in the current active colony of Midgard.
In addition to training the militia, Baron Laval also recruited a quasi-legendary spellcaster named Elson through the "Snake Hand" leader of the "Black Axe Mercenary Corps."
Elson and Sharman were also from the "Conquering Order", and they were all disciples of the mysterious Pope. This person also has a not-so-decent nickname, known as the "arsonist" Elson.
So far, the "arsonist" Elson has not publicly appeared in the military barracks, but Joan has heard some rumors about this person through the "nine trolls" Scala and the brothers and sisters of Walsunge.
Elson, a fellow of Joan, was born in a colonial town on the edge of the Yalv jungle. His father was an immigrant from the old world, and his mother was an Asa native.
Since his childhood, Elson has shown extraordinary talent for perception. At the age of twelve, he was influenced by his mother and joined a local Druid society.
With his outstanding talents, Elson soon became an official druid. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to level 6 druid and became a local famous genius.
That is, in the winter of this year, the weather in Alfheim was extremely dry, and there was no snow for two months. I don’t know if it was due to natural reasons or human negligence. The fire suddenly ignited in the forest. The north wind encouraged the fire to spread to Elson’s hometown and town.
The Druid community where Elson is located had originally intended to use spells to control the weather and rain to put out the fire.
However, in the cold and dry winter, it is impossible to summon a heavy rain. The strong winds drawn after the spell are mixed with sparse snowflakes, which not only cannot extinguish the fire, but further fuels the fire.
The Druids had no choice but to rush to the villages and towns threatened by the forest fire to cast a spell to suppress the spread of the fire and help local residents fight for evacuation time.
Elson is responsible for the rescue of his hometown and town. Unfortunately, he came a little late, and the town was already surrounded by burning flames, including his parents, most of the residents failed to escape the flames.
The bereavement made the young Druid almost mad. He rushed to the fire and desperately cast a fire to extinguish the fire. He tried to return home and recapture his parents' bones from the ruthless fire.
However, he exhausted his magic power and physical strength, and finally was unable to fight this fire that was like a punishment. He was also burned seriously, struggling to climb out of the sea of ​​fire, and luckily saved his life.
The fire completely changed Elson's life and changed his view of the world.
Through the scorching appearance of flames, he glimpsed an absolute coldness that equally brought death and destruction to all beings.
Suddenly, Elson realized that the natural harmony he had previously admired was so fragile and so weak in front of the great power manifested by the flames.
Elson, who was severely burned by the fire, awakened another self that seemed more real to him, and became obsessed with arson since then. He was extremely happy in this criminal process, and also caused him to lose his natural origins. , Losing the ability to cast spells.
After all, the fire could not be contained in the paper. Soon after, Elson's criminal act of deliberately setting fire to the mountains was exposed, and he was expelled from the Druid community.
Elson, who was exiled, soon turned to the "Conquering Congregation" under the influence of a mysterious will, and was transferred from the "former Druid" to a "blighter" more in line with his brutal nature.
After that, Elson became more unscrupulous. On a whim, he set fire to the mountains and even the village for fun, and burned innocent passersby alive to satisfy his perverted taste. It was even commonplace.
As a "blighter", the more crazy Elson set fire to the forest, the mana became stronger, and he was promoted to the level 8 wither within ten years, and his ability to cast spells far exceeded that of the Druid community. When practicing, he became the top priest in the top ranks of the "Conquering Order", and at the same time earned himself the fierce name of "arsonist" for himself.
Over the years, Elson has set fire to many Asa villages, and the brothers and sisters of Walsonge are very dissatisfied with the recruitment of the perverted lunatic Baron Laval. Considering the point of avoiding contradictions within the military, "arsonist" Elson is indeed not suitable for public appearance in the military barracks.
Joan also heard from Haakon and Sluder that Elson also personally created an accomplice who was better at arson than he himself, the "wicker man" that Scala once mentioned.
This monster is a huge human-shaped structure woven from wicker by Elson. The hollow chest cavity was transformed into a magic stove by Elson.
It is said that this stove has a magical function, which can quickly convert the animals and plants loaded into the furnace into coke. The heat energy generated by the burning of coke provides the "wicker man" with the energy required for action.
