Chapter 149 Black Soil is Alive
"See, I told you that the child would have a bright future if he followed Sir Thomas, but you still didn't believe me."

Seeing the nobles coming and going to the magic tower, a farmer on the street looked very proud.

"I don't think you said that before."

"Didn't you say magic was gold-rimmed shit?"

"One word stinky is missing. What he said is stinky shit inlaid with gold."

Others around looked at him with disdain, but they couldn't hide the envy and jealousy in their eyes.

After all, who could have thought that the magic profession would become so popular overnight?

Not only did the nobles flock to it, but even the caravans and adventure groups began to publicly recruit magicians.

The magician, who was originally ignored, suddenly became one of the most promising professions.

The environment changed so quickly that many people sprained their backs and regretted not letting their children learn magic earlier.

And at this time.

Inside the magic tower.

Thomas was also overwhelmed by the sudden change.

"Damn it, if I had known earlier I would have gone with Ryan to preach the doctrine and tell them to wait outside!"

Thomas handed over all the affairs of the Church of Life to Ryan, and he was just a figurehead in it.

After all, he still has to listen to the voice of Lady Moon God at all times, so he definitely cannot leave here.

Moreover, they have not yet obtained the consent of the Moon Goddess for the establishment of the Church of Life, and they dare not easily publicize it in front of these nobles.

Thinking of this, Thomas immediately looked up at the sky and bowed several times to the altar.

"Lord Moon God, please forgive me for taking the initiative to promote the doctrine of nature in your name. If you have any instructions, please give us your will."

……

Dreamwood.

Above the Moon Goddess Altar.

Rhodes, whose consciousness had just returned to his body from the Elf Empire, happened to hear this voice and looked puzzled.

"Strange, can I hear the voices of other believers?"

When Rhodes arrived at the Moon Well, he indeed felt a familiar spiritual aura connecting to this side.

And he could hear the other person's voice clearly, as if it was ringing in his ear.

"Promulgate doctrine? Give orders? Could it be that because of this projection of consciousness, my connection with that place has become stronger?"

Rhodes was surprised.

I didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise when I visited the Elf Empire.

Being able to hear the believers' prayers clearly is good news for him, as it means he can do a lot.

For example, this believer knew that he was seeking guidance from the Moon Goddess because he wanted to spread the teachings of nature.

and many more.

Preaching natural doctrine?

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

"I agree! Of course I agree! Isn't this nonsense? What I lack now are believers!"

It was the first time he met such a kind believer. He immediately calmed down and prepared to give him a few gifts as a token of his appreciation.

But immediately, his movements stopped.

"No, as a god, you should be more reserved. If you send too many things to her, won't the believers think that the Moon God is casual?"

In this case……

Rhodes raised his head and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He quickly stood up, went to the altar, filled a large bottle with water, and brought it back to the altar.

Then with a mental thought, the water disappeared, and the mental connection disappeared with it.

at the same time.

Inside the magic tower.

Thomas, who was praying, also received something and his face immediately showed ecstasy.

"The Moon God's gift! Lord Moon God has agreed to our founding of the Life Sect! That's great!"

He stood up excitedly and looked the bottle of water up and down.

As soon as he opened the bottle, a strong scent of magic wafted out, causing his eyes to widen instantly.

"This, this, this... is actually the fountain of magic power!"

Thomas looked at the spring water in his hand in disbelief. It was the precious spring water in the legend that one sip could quickly restore magic power and enhance magical perception!
Especially for those who have just started to learn magic, after drinking this spring water, the chances of successfully sensing magic power will definitely be greatly increased, which is something that many people cannot even ask for.

He remembered that this kind of spring water only existed in the elves, and it had not appeared for many years. Could it be related to the unsealing of the Elf Empire?

Yes.

The elves are the most devout believers of the Moon God.

The lifting of the blockade of the empire must have been ordered by the Moon Goddess. It seems that I have to go to the Elf Empire if I have a chance.

After thinking about it, Thomas bowed down again.

"Thank you, Master Moon God!"

With a loud shout, he stood up, took the spring water, left the meditation room, and hurried outside.

With this bottle of magic spring, he can cultivate a few more good seedlings, which is really a good thing for the nobles under him.

……

"Master Rhodes, are you back?"

On the altar.

Augla and Alpha soon noticed that Rod had woken up and hurried back from a distance.

"Well, I just came back after a short stroll around the Elf Empire. My current mental strength can't sustain it for too long."

The first day passed, mainly to calm the people of the Elf Empire.

With all the messy rituals, he didn't even have much of a stroll and came back in a hurry, which made him feel terribly uncomfortable.

Next time I go there, I must take a good look at it, or at least take a walk around the Elf Capital.

"By the way, have you just come back from outside?"

Rhode looked at the two exhausted men, and the little ones who came back with them and were jumping excitedly. Ogula, who was originally focusing on the Elf Empire, suddenly became excited after hearing this.

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me! Lord Rhodes, do you know that when you carry this kind of meteorite with you, it can also disperse the black soil around you. You don't have to worry about being contaminated by the black soil anymore!"

"So you can go out too?" Rhodes was surprised.

"Well, we've just tried it outside. It basically won't be affected too much, but it does require the injection of magic power to maintain it, and the consumption is a bit high." Alpha took over and said.

This time Rhodes finally lost his composure.

In other words.

As long as there are enough meteorites, people like Augla and his people can leave the forest and go outside, no longer restricted by the strength of their souls.

good good!
Now his plan to clean up the black beast can finally be launched!
You can also go further afield to find the surviving woodland guardian races, gather them all back, and join in the reconstruction of the woodland.

From this perspective, everything the Druid Chief did really helped him a lot.

"How many meteorites are left now?" Rhodes looked outside.

He didn't expect that this thing had so many uses. It seems he needs to collect more.

"We have collected three large pieces in total, which should be enough for all our tribesmen." Augula said after calculating.

"Then we have to get more back. It will definitely be useful when the forest capacity increases in the future."

"That's right, let the dark elves go and scout the location first. If we come across a dangerous area that we can't get, we'll go there later."

After some discussion, the few of them quickly made a plan and decided to collect all the meteorites that fell in the forest first.

Especially after learning that they could leave the forest and go outside, Augla and the others became even more motivated. They began to use the three meteorites to clear out the wandering black beasts in the surrounding area.

Even the little guys came to Rhodes and looked at him eagerly.

"Why, you guys want to go out and play too?"

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Such a big place was not enough for you to play.

"Quack~"

The Soul Raven landed on Big Bear's back and pointed at Kaba and the little thing beside them with its wings.

That's like saying, they always get to play, when will it be our turn?
As for the little thing and Kaba, they held their heads high and chests puffed out with pride, acting like they were the best.

"You guys are still breathing heavily."

Rhode looked at the two guys speechlessly: "Okay, you can go out with Augla and the others, but don't go too far. Come back quickly if you encounter danger."

"quack!"

"Roar!"

After hearing this, the little ones cheered and then dispersed to run to find Augla.

Even the baby mountain giants and elves, who were born not long ago, followed closely behind, probably because they thought there was something delicious to eat.

then.

Rhodes called the elemental elves wandering in the woods and asked them to absorb the elemental crystals he had collected during this period.

All of a sudden.

The light of advancement continues to shine.

The elemental aura in the entire forest became more intense and began to seep out continuously.

"It's done!"

After finishing the things here, I took a look at the planting conditions in various places.

After he found that there were no problems, he also came to the edge of the woods and found Augla, who was surrounded by the little guys with a smug look on his face.

"Alright, alright, everyone line up. We're going to go out and bring back some elemental ores to build a home for Little Stone and the others. I won't take out any disobedient ones who run around."

shhhhh--

The little guys lined up in a row in an instant, looking well-behaved and obedient.

Even the newly advanced elemental elves came over to join in the fun, because elemental ores are also their favorite things.

Seeing Rhodes coming over, Augula immediately asked, "Lord Rhodes, do you want to come over and take a look too?"

"Well, after all, this is the first time going out, I'd better go with you to see if there are any accidents."

"okay!"

After receiving the order, Augula began his passionate speech again.

After talking about the precautions for seven or eight minutes, he and several of his fellow War Giant Tree tribe members picked up the meteorite and walked out in a mighty manner.

"Yeah!"

"Quack~"

"roar~"

Amid the cheers, the little ones quickly followed.

The little creature riding on Kaba took the lead, running around the team, while the Soul Raven circled in the air, looking extremely excited.

Rhodes followed beside Augla, looking at his feet in amazement.

Just as they said before, wherever they walked, the black soil would instantly disperse and be isolated dozens of meters away.

After they left, it quickly returned to its original state, as if it had life.

and many more……

life?

Are these black soils alive?
Suddenly, Rhodes realized something was wrong and his expression became surprised.

All along, he never thought that the black soil was alive, and only regarded it as a dead thing that would devour life.

But if you think about it from another angle.

The black soil is alive, so what?

This guess made Rhodes' eyes gradually brighten.

If this is true, it would explain why a corpse can still retain its ability to move after being contaminated by black soil.

Why do these black soils appear in the form of tentacles?

And the avoidance behavior in front of us is like fear of meteorites.

All these strange behaviors prove that it is not a dead object, it may even be alive!
