Chapter 16 What is this? A firefly?

time after that.

Rod and the little thing went out a few more times.

Basically every time, I could last about fifteen minutes and successfully bring back a lot of firewood... uh, wood.

But what made Rhodes happy the most.

Or the collection of raven soul fragments.

When he obtained the tenth fragment, the long-lost prompt finally appeared in front of him.

[Soul fragments fused successfully, obtained Druid's Heart (Raven) x1]

[Druid's Heart (Raven): The outermost scout of the Druid's Lair, the darling of nature. After fusion, it can obtain the raven form and unlock the flying ability. 】

really.

That dark forest is the druid's lair.

When Rhodes saw the information on the emerald crystal in his hand, he knew that his previous guess was correct.

At the same time, I am extremely grateful.

Didn't rush in rashly.

After all, even the scouts on the periphery are of higher rank than him, let alone those inside.

I'm afraid we have to wait until he reaches lv10 and breaks through the first level.

Only then will you have the opportunity to go in and take a look.

"If you say so..."

"The farther away from the altar, the higher the level?"

Looking at the soul crystal in his hand, Rhodes fell into deep thought.

Based on his previous experiences with the black beast, it was not difficult to come to this conclusion.

Because the farther away from the altar, the more seriously polluted the black soil is, it is not surprising that more powerful black beasts appear.

The center of the druid's lair was at least a dozen kilometers away from the altar, which was not something he could consider at this stage, let alone leaving this endless dream forest...

Ok.

It's nice to stay here.

After comforting himself, Rhodes put away the Druid's Heart and went to the other end of the plantation to check the growth of other plants.

I was busy collecting wood these past two days and didn't have the chance to irrigate the magic, which caused the ordinary plants to look sickly.

Except for the mutant little tree and the last sprouting vine, everything else was listless, and even the wheat seeds that were about to mature looked like they were about to die.

"It seems that we have to solve the water problem first."

Rhodes murmured softly and cast cultivation magic on a few crops.

Although magic irrigation can alleviate the problem of lack of water source.

But these are plants after all, and it will be difficult for them to grow if they lack water for a long time.

Besides, as a low-level tree spirit, it is impossible for him to keep using magic power to irrigate so many plants, otherwise he would be exhausted to death.

But the problem is.

A place like this where no one lives.

It is not easy to find water.

And even if we find it, it has probably been contaminated by black soil and will require a lot of effort to purify it.

So the best solution.

It's rain magic!
It doesn't take much, just consistent rainfall in a small area to temporarily fill his irrigation needs.

When the plantation grows in size, he should be able to expand to more distant places and solve the water problem.

"That's it!"

After irrigating all the plants with magic, Rhodes dusted himself off, took the Druid's Heart and came to the Moon Well, ready to pray.

He spent a lot of effort to collect this thing, so he had to exchange it for something good.

So this time.

Rhodes' attitude was exceptionally sincere.

Close your eyes and carefully feel the subtle connection that seems to be there and not there on the statue of the Moon Goddess.

……

at the same time.

Inside the magic tower of Raven Town.

Ever since he came back from treating the Baroness last time, Thomas Will has been staying in the room, meditating hard.

He did not ask for the attention of Lord Moon God.

But at least we need to reconnect with the Dreamgrove.

Thus.

He would be able to sense the existence of magical elements again and break the shackles that had sealed them for three hundred years.

"No...that's not right! It shouldn't be like this!...What went wrong...Almost...just a little bit! Damn it!" An intermittent and crazy voice continued to come out from the room.

Because there was no soundproofing magic, every magic apprentice passing by looked at each other in confusion, and did not dare to knock on the door to disturb them.

They could only flee quickly and gather in the corner whispering.

"Is the instructor okay?"

"It has been like this since I came back last time, and do you feel that the instructor has become more erratic recently?"

"Don't you feel stupid when you ask this question?"

"Who are you calling stupid?!"

"No, no, no, what I mean is that almost every old wizard has a weird temper."

These apprentices know it well.

After three hundred years of torture without the ability to meditate, even the most gentlemanly magician will eventually go mad, and some mental abnormalities are inevitable.

Even for people like them, becoming magic apprentices was just to make a living, and they were more worried that their mentor would suddenly go crazy and ruin their jobs.

After all, it’s hard to find a job nowadays.

The adventure team wouldn't want half-baked mages like them.

"If I could still meditate, I wouldn't take any good job."

A twelve-year-old boy whispered.

"Come on, the status of mages has plummeted over the years."

"It is said that even third-level mages had titles at that time, and there was no need to perform formalities when meeting a baron. It was not like now that as long as you have a little talent, you can become an apprentice."

"I think I should consider changing jobs."

The boys and girls chattered,
There is a yearning for past glory.

There are those who lament the current status of magicians.

But didn't notice.

As they walked further away.

The magic power in the room suddenly began to fluctuate strangely.

Thomas, who was sitting cross-legged in the meditation circle with a crazy face and disheveled hair, was also stunned by this sudden change.

Then, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He stared at the scene with his mouth wide open.

light spot.

Colorful spots of light.

In his empty spiritual world, dense spots of light suddenly emerged and filled every corner of the room.

"This is... a magical element!"

Thomas screamed uncontrollably and almost came out of meditation.

I sensed it!

He actually sensed the magical element!
You have to know that from that day on, the magic element became thinner and thinner, until it could no longer be sensed, and it could only be maintained by relying on the magic power stored in the body.

And that day.

It is also known as the day when meditation ceases.

Now he can see the magical elements again as before.

How could he not be ecstatic?
Even so excited that I couldn't control myself.

"wrong."

"How come these elements are so active?"

Suddenly, Thomas realized something was wrong and gradually calmed down.

Although the memory was very old, he clearly remembered that even when he was young, he had never seen magical elements so dense and active.

It was as if there was a force pulling them, slowly converging in the same direction.

finally.

It transformed into a dazzling human figure before him.

His appearance could not be seen clearly, but he exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure. He was both sacred and solemn, more majestic than any other existence he had ever seen, and people dared not look directly at him.

"Yue... Lord Moon God!!"

Thomas was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue. He stared with his eyes wide open, his face full of horror and disbelief.

And at this time.

Next to the Moon Well.

Rhodes looked curiously at the light that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What is this? A firefly?"

He stretched out his finger and poked the spot of light.
