Chapter 243 The Holy Land of Magic

An unexpected incident caused many people who were eyeing the Dream Forest to withdraw their gazes.

At least before confirming whether the Moon Goddess has returned, they dare not act rashly. Instead, they choose to wait and see for the time being and send people to investigate secretly.

When this news came out, other forces, big and small, were shocked.

Even the eighth-level holy land has been destroyed. Even if the Moon Goddess has not returned, there must be strong people above the eighth level in the dream forest, and not everyone can get involved.

So many people's attention is focused on another thing.

"Now that magic is flourishing, positions above the Legendary level are basically vacant. We must train and attract more magic talents as soon as possible. This is what we need to do most right now."

"A sanctuary-level magician can influence a war by himself. We must not let other countries take the lead."

"The Magic Academy and the Guild must also be set up immediately, as well as the Church of Life. They have the most magicians. Send someone to contact them."

The moon appeared, the Dream Forest revived, and the magic heyday reappeared. It has become an unstoppable trend.

After three hundred years of silence, the legendary and even holy level of mages in various departments have been vacant for a long time, and naturally they will receive the attention of major forces and countries.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to describe a magician who has reached that level as having the power to destroy the world. Sometimes he can even directly influence the victory of a war and possesses an absolute deterrent power over the enemy.

So very quickly.

Training magicians and discovering magical talents became their top priority, and they all wanted to cultivate this strategic weapon as soon as possible.

Especially for the few remaining sixth-level wizards, the magic towers where they lived were almost always crowded with nobles, and some even attracted visits from the royal family.

Overnight.

The status of magicians skyrocketed, almost comparable to that of nobility.

This also makes many mages flock to the Dream Forest. They meditate hard every day, wanting to be the first to enter the forest to practice.

As long as a low-level wizard can successfully enter once, even if it's just a look, his magical talent will be greatly improved.

The souls of high-level mages are more powerful, and it is easier for them to enter the woods, so their goal is to stay in the woods as long as possible. The longer they stay, the greater their chances of becoming legendary.

If you enter the Dreamwood at this time, you will see a spectacular sight.

A large number of foreign souls gathered on the black soil plain, moving forward towards the center step by step with difficulty.

Magicians and spiritual practitioners call this a "pilgrimage."

……

Swish!
There was a flash of light.

Several young souls appeared on the plain.

As soon as they stood still, they were shocked by the scene before them.

"Hiss! How can there be so many souls?"

One of the third-level young men looked at the souls scattered all around, some were moving slowly forward, some were sitting cross-legged on the ground, and some were sensing the elements. It was just like a huge gathering place.

The boys and girls next to them also opened their mouths wide in shock.

"I thought I was the only one who could go so deep into the Dream Grove. It seems I underestimated the geniuses around the world."

"Look at that guy, his soul is almost condensed into a physical body."

"And over there, there are so many level fives!"

Those who can come to such a place are basically intermediate professionals above level three, and their souls have already become very solid.

But even so, without physical protection, they could hardly get close to the center of the forest, and could only stay on the periphery and work hard to improve themselves.

"Is that the very center of the forest?"

The young man raised his head and looked into the distance.

A huge magic circle floated in the air, covering the entire area. It was so solemn and awe-inspiring that people dared not look directly at it.

Just by getting close, you can feel a powerful elemental aura, and even a large number of colorful light spots are floating above the entire plain.

They had never seen such rich magical elements anywhere else, as if they were swimming in an ocean of elements.

"It would be great if we could get in there, even for a little while." The girl next to her said longingly.

"It is said that it is the place closest to the Moon Goddess. Just taking a few breaths can directly advance."

"So far, I have never heard of anyone being able to successfully get in. Not to mention getting in, it's hard to even get close."

"Huh? What is that?"

As they were talking, they were suddenly stunned, their eyes attracted by a small figure in the distance.

It was a small tree spirit less than half a meter tall, with a head as big as a wooden water cup. It was running around with a curious look on its face, looking at the souls sitting cross-legged on the ground.

From time to time, he would reach out and poke them, and when they opened their eyes, he would be so scared that he would quickly run away, making babbling sounds, and there would be many elemental elves following him.

"Those who have substance are the inhabitants of the woodland!"

"Why is there such a small tree spirit here?"

"What is it doing?"

A few people looked puzzled, and the others were also attracted by this little guy who suddenly appeared and looked over.

A young girl sitting next to the little thing had a confused look on her face.

"Do you live nearby? Or are you lost?" she asked softly.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees?"

When the little creature saw someone talking to it, it immediately tilted its head and looked at the girl from a distance of one or two meters.

When the girl saw it, she really thought it was a lost child, so she immediately lowered her head and started searching its body.

Finally, she dug out a soul crystal from her body with great difficulty. It was the one she obtained when she killed the black beast before, and she had never been willing to use it.

"for you."

The girl handed out the crystal as if she was giving candy to a child, and it was obvious that she was a very caring person.

When the companions nearby saw the crystal, their faces changed.

"Weiwei, why did you give it this thing?"

"This is a very precious soul crystal!"

"Such a waste!"

A soul crystal is enough to significantly improve their strength, and it is not easy to obtain. One has to kill the black beast.

This alone requires a lot of effort.

“It’s okay. I’m still a long way from advancing anyway.” The girl called Weiwei smiled and still did not retract her outstretched hand.

The little thing looked at her, then looked at the crystal in her hand, and finally walked over, picked up the crystal, put it in its mouth and absorbed it.

Then, it suddenly remembered what Rhodes had said to it.

"When someone gives you something, you should remember to return the favor, right? That's called social etiquette."

It doesn't know what social etiquette is, but it understands that when you receive something from someone, you should give something in return.

He immediately started rummaging in the groove on his head and took out a black fruit, half of which had been bitten.

"Yeah!"

It stretched out its hand and handed the black fruit to the girl.

"Is this for me?"

The girl was stunned and subconsciously took the black fruit. She looked at the row of teeth marks on it with a strange expression.

However, before she could say anything more, the little thing just ran away and continued to play somewhere else.

The girl and her companions didn't react until they could no longer see it. They stared at the half-eaten black fruit in shock.

"what is this?"

"Leftover fruit?"

"One soul crystal in exchange for half a fruit, isn't this a bit..."

They didn't say the word "waste". If it were them, they would never do such a stupid thing.

Such a precious soul crystal was exchanged for something like this, and it was a leftover at that. Anyone would feel like they were at a disadvantage.

Only the girl still had a smile on her face. She had never thought about asking for any reward. Getting half a fruit was not bad. It was just that she could not take it back as a souvenir.

Thinking of this, she calmed her mind and transformed the black fruit into energy and absorbed it into her soul.

next second.

Changes occur suddenly.

A powerful aura suddenly burst out from her.

She was originally only at level three, but she was promoted directly to level four. Her illusory soul instantly became several times more solid!
"how come……"

The girl opened her eyes and looked at her body in disbelief.

The others were also shocked, and all eyes were focused on him.

"Weiwei, have you advanced?"

"How come it's so fast?"

"Didn't you just get promoted to level three not long ago?"

"Could it be the black fruit from before?!"

At this time, everyone was not calm.

Half a black fruit can advance a person from level three to level four. The effect is simply terrifying.

The person who just made fun of the wastefulness is now regretting it so much.

If they had known this would happen, they would have tried their best to get not just one, but even eight or ten soul crystals.

Such a young fourth-level person would be the center of attention wherever he goes.

"Quick! Go find that little tree spirit and see if it still has that kind of fruit!"

The crowd was startled and looked around for the little tree elf.

But no matter how they searched, they returned in vain. The little tree spirit seemed to have suddenly disappeared, leaving them with nothing but lamentations.

soon.

Rumors began to spread on the plains.

Whenever you encounter a strange little tree spirit, you can use soul crystals to exchange things with it, which can greatly improve your own strength.

As a result, many people no longer have the energy to meditate, and just wander around the plains, hoping to have such an adventure.

……

And at this time.

On the altar of the moon goddess.

"Huh? How did the little thing suddenly make the list?"

Rhodes looked at the fame list in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, and found that the little thing's name appeared on it.

[Little Thing (Level 212): Reputation]

Good guy.

It directly increased its reputation by more than 200 people. What did it do?
If Augla and the others knew this, they would be jealous to death.

After all, they spent a lot of time, dozens or even hundreds of years, to accumulate fame.

It turned out that this guy just went out for a walk and his money skyrocketed so much, it's outrageous.

"Forget it, let them mess around on their own."

Now that the little ones have reached level five, there is no need to worry about their safety, so Rhodes is relieved to let them go outside to play.

Take your eyes away and continue checking the list.

After these days of preparation, there were many unfamiliar names on the list, but the first few were the ones he was more familiar with.

Especially the first one.

[1. Thomas Will (Level 2053): reputation, can be advanced]

If he remembered correctly, this should be the first believer he came to in the Dream Forest and the founder of the Church of Life.

I didn’t expect that in just a few months, his fame would skyrocket so much. He is definitely the most loyal believer of the Moon God.

"Very well, it's just you."

How can we neglect such a dedicated believer? We must reward him well.

Rhodes thought about it, stretched out his finger, and tapped lightly on the brightest ball of light.
