"Let's call it here today; let nature continue to guide you," Remulos sighed . His eyes were staring directly at where Lu Li was Stealthed .
The Druids did not dare to disobey the will of the Keeper of the Grove and had no choice but to leave . There were some that attempted to sneak a peek from a distance, but they were all transferred back to Nighthaven .
"Arrogant stalker, I can see you . I can even hear the sound of a flower blooming in the depths of the jungle," Remulos boasted .
"That is true – you are the king of the jungle, so nothing in the jungle happens without you knowing it," Lu Li said as he revealed himself and walked towards Remulos . "Lord I am here to ask for your help . "
"Help? Let's hear it," Remulos responded .

"In the forest of the Grey Valley, I have acquired a piece of land located near the trees of the forest on the bank of the Fallon River," Lu Li began to explain .
"Oh, that place . I heard the thunder of some drums in that direction . The Dryads had reported to me the progress of the war," Remulos said with a smile . "The land had been ravaged by Satyrs and Fire Elementals . Now that they are gone, the forest thanks you . "
"I am worried that the enemies we have defeated will return, so I want your help," Lu Li pushed .
"Return?" Remulos asked incredulously as he shook his head, "There is no way they will return . The Satyrs and Fire Elements have completely retreated . It will now be a paradise for adventurers . "
"Ahem," Lu Li coughed . He had no choice but to be more straightforward, saying, "I have some enemies that look enviously upon the fruits of my labour . Dear Lord Remulos, I need your help . To gain your favour, I have not cut down a single tree in the forest . " It wasn't that wood buildings weren't good . Wood buildings were sturdy and could be made fireproof . They were not that much worse than stone . Moreover, there were so many trees in the Nightsong Forest that it would have been easier to collect wood than stone . However, to earn Remulos' favour, Lu Li gave an absolute order after the Stronghold event that prohibited the chopping-down of trees . All buildings had to be made of stone or metal .

"Thank you for your friendliness to the jungle," Remulos thanked . He had to admit that Lu Li had successfully gained his favour . "I am willing to contribute my own strength for the prosperity of the forest, so I hope to receive your help," Lu Li stated sincerely . The reason why he didn't want to cut the trees was to maintain a good relationship with the natural guardians – Remulos, the Cenarion Circle, the Keepers of the Grove, the Dryads and the entire Night Elf race .
If Lu Li was a Horde player, he definitely would have cut down all the trees . After all, the entire Orc race was focused only on growing in strength, no matter the cost . The Alliance's presence in Grey Valley was precisely to prevent the deforestation of these ancient trees .
"Well, I have some quests here that your Druid friends can do," Remulos promised .
Since Lu Li was willing to complete quests, this was fine . From the game design's perspective, there was only a chance to gain these quests . After successfully triggering the quest, Lu Li knew that Remulos was willing to help .

"Rest assured that they will do whatever you tell them to . "
Lu Li immediately informed some Druids in the guild to complete the quest and arranged for more players to help them with it . If Lu Li remembered correctly, the name of the quest should be called Save the Seedling . The quest was tedious, as not only was it a waste of time, but it was also dangerous . Moreover, there was no reward . There were very few Druids that would willingly do this quest . After all, players were here to play the game or to listen to the NPC's teachings .
However, if this quest was completed by someone with a forest Stronghold, and this Stronghold was a friend of the forest, they had a probability of obtaining the Keepers of the Grove's Protection after completing it . The Keepers of the Grove were the sons of demigod Cenarius and they looked like their smaller Dryad sisters . The Keepers looked like half-Elves and half-stags with huge antlers and leaf-like manes . The right hand of a Keeper was a giant tree-like claw, and they had many supernatural Artifacts .
The so-called Keepers of the Grove's Protection summoned a Keeper of the Grove illusion for half an hour which helped players fight monsters in the Wild . Lu Li intended to place them at the walls . These Keepers of the Grove had a few skills that were perfect for defending a Stronghold . They had Bind, Tranquillity, Thorns Aura and Force of Nature .
Bind's effect was similar to that of a Restraint Tower . It was mainly used for crowd control and deceleration . If Keepers of the Grove were placed on the wall, they would Bind the enemies that rushed for the walls . There wasn't much to say about Tranquillity . Hachi Chan often used this skill and it could restore HP to many units . Casting Thorns Aura on a friendly target would surround them with thorns that not only reduced damage taken, but also reflected damage back to those attacking them . As for Force of Nature, it was a skill that transformed trees into treants . Keepers of the Grove generally didn't use this skill, because the trees only lasted for a limited amount of time . When their time was up, they would become rotten wood, ultimately killing the trees . To be honest, it was enough help even if the Keepers only used Tranquillity .
The probability of acquiring the Keeper of the Grove illusions was not great, so Lu Li sent almost all of the guild's Druids . Anyway, as long as they had Detoxify, they should be able to complete the quest . Only a few Druids needed to succeed, and it would dramatically improve their chances of winning .
Countless Druids from Ruling Sword poured into Nighthaven and then left after accepting the quest . Each of them was assigned four teammates to form a team . The Druids would focus on detoxification and would use the healing dust to save the trees, while the rest of the team would kill the monsters around them .
"The decay undermines the harmony of nature . My friends will be fighting the decay as long as it is needed," Lu Li assured Remulos . He didn't mind making such a promise because he was sure that the benefits would be worth the trouble .
From the experience he had with Remulos, he was a generous elder . "My Dryad sisters who live in the forest seem to be in trouble . You will be neighbours in the future, so I hope you can help them as much as possible . "
Remulos was touched by Lu Li's gesture once again .
