Chapter 493: Ring of Mainadrui! Demigod!
Southern Temeria.

The Circle of Mainadrui is like all druidic circles, where long-lived druids meet, meditate, and read their sacred texts in forests far from human habitation.

But druids are by no means isolated from the world, and their years of wisdom will always be respected.

In the northern continent, except for some big countries that prefer warlocks in order to establish deeper ties with the Warlock Brotherhood, many small countries actually prefer the elder-like, peaceful and non-confrontational druids rather than the power-hungry wizards and sorceresses.

Therefore, although the Druid Circle is peaceful most of the time, nobles who are in trouble often come to seek ancient wisdom, mediate difficult disputes, and heal livestock and illnesses.

However, at this moment, the Ring of Maynadrui in the deep mountains and dense forests suddenly became lively, but it was not because of the arrival of a great noble…

“Mother Nature, did you see that?”

A druid with a full beard and beard roared and pushed open the door of a library deep underground.

The roar tore through the tranquility of the entire Druid Circle.

The birds nesting in the oak trees were startled and flew away, circling over the scattered tree houses.

In the Circle of Mayna, no, in any druid circle, yelling like this is extremely rude.

At the very least, he would be scolded by the master of the druid circle and beaten up by those druids who disturbed his meditation. In serious cases, he might even be expelled from some druid circles with strict rules.

For a druid, meditation is the most important thing in life. It is the only way to get close to Mother Nature and listen to her teachings.

But at this moment, no one blamed or scolded this bearded druid.

The doors of the tree houses were opened one by one, and many druids with white beards walked out. They were covered in the dust of years of meditation, but they were dirty but not filthy.

“I see! Does anyone know who he is? Which druid ring is he from? Is he from Skellige?”

“It can only be from Skellige. We all know the newcomers and old members of other druid circles in the northern continent. It’s impossible for one person to go this far and no one would know about it.”

“Skellig is so big? Which family could it belong to?”

“I don’t care about that,” the bearded druid who spoke first stroked his tangled beard irritably, “Who knows what the holy form of that druid is?”

“Pure golden hair, long and dense, like a bear but not a bear…”

“Why have I never seen such beautiful and magnificent natural spirits in the northern continent?”

“Who’s been to Skellig? What is it?”

The long-bearded druid’s tone became more and more urgent. He raised his drooping gray eyebrows and scanned all the druids in his sight with his old but bright eyes.

There was silence in front of the tree houses.

No one answered.

“No one knows?!” The long-bearded druid widened his eyes in surprise. “Erwin, didn’t you just go to Skellige thirteen years ago?”

“Ishige, you are the one who came from Skellig, haven’t you seen it?”

The two druids whose names were called happened to live in next-to-one tree houses.

After looking at each other, they all shook their heads.

Ishige said, “Edes, I have never seen such a creature in Skellige. If I had seen it, even if there were records and legends on parchment, I would never forget it.”

Erwin nodded in agreement. “I’ve been to many islands in Skellige and never seen this before.”

“Hmm?” Edes frowned in confusion, “Isn’t it from the Skellige Islands?”

“But…but in the northern continent, could there be natural spirits that we don’t even know about?”

The Ring of Mainadrui fell into silence again.

The so-called spirits of nature are the animals native to the northern continent, or more precisely, wild beasts.

A beast that participates in the cycle of nature.

Of course, with the development over the years, many monsters have been included.

But this is not because the druids’ minds have become open, but because the monsters that came from the intersection of the celestial sphere and from other worlds have gradually been assimilated into the world of demon hunters.

They play a part in the natural cycle.

The most common category among these is hybrid beasts.

But no matter whether it is a wild beast or a demon beast, as long as it exists in the northern continent, it is impossible to hide it from all the druids of the Ring of Mainadrui.

Because of their footprints, they had traveled to all the forests, mountains and valleys in the northern continent since they were young.

This kind of practice is carried out every few years.

Even Nilfgaard has traces of them, not to mention the accumulated documents and materials. It is impossible that there are natural spirits that they are unaware of. It is absolutely impossible.

But the ones who can appear in the sacred forest must be nature spirits.

The druids were silent for a long time.

“Not all islands in the Skellige Archipelago are known to the public,” Ishige said after a moment of silence. “Perhaps the spirit of nature is hiding in some unknown corner.”

“Or perhaps a creature from Nilfgaard?”

Existence is reasonable.

Regardless of where the golden-haired nature spirit came from, since the druids appeared in its image, it must exist in the northern continent.

“How about… asking the Grand Master?” Another druid with sparkling eyes stood in front of the tree house and suggested uncertainly, “In the sacred woods, I vaguely saw Him blocking the end of the forest…”

“It seems that He… gave way…”

“So, what should He know?”

“Are you sure?” someone asked, “The Grand Master hasn’t woken up for a long time…”

“This is not a trivial matter,” the druid with eyes as sharp as an eagle said solemnly, “I saw that the newcomer was given the origin by Mother Nature.”

“You know what this means.”

The tree houses in the Ring of Mainadrui fell silent for a moment.

“Then let’s go. If what you said is true, the Grand Master is most likely awake…”

The words have not yet fallen.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

The solemn bells echoed.

The druids looked at each other, then left the tree house solemnly and walked into the depths of the forest.
–
The witcher woke up from his dream with a long and distant breath.

But he did not open his eyes, his eyelids trembled slightly, as if he was savoring the aftertaste, the aftertaste of the scent of sunshine, grass, water lilies and pine.

The faint but clear vitality, like a leaping elf, flows throughout the body with the flow of blood.

The afterglow made his whole body relax, and every muscle was breathing slowly.

It is as if a thousand-year-old tree has just awakened from its slumber, stretching its branches and opening every leaf that is either verdant, dark green, or scarlet, absorbing the sunlight, absorbing the clear sunlight that has just been washed by a heavy rain.

for a long time.

“Whoo~”

Ailin let out a breath and opened his eyes.

The deep blue cat’s pupils trembled, contracted, and expanded, and it took a long time before they refocused.

“Ok?”

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

Strands of golden sunlight shine into the cabin through the gaps in the windowsill.

A rainbow bridge of seven colors was faintly visible, spanning between two vines that extended into the house.

When the vine became aware of the sight, it swayed in the wind in the blink of an eye and bloomed with strings of purple and crystal flowers.

Feelings of intimacy and admiration drift over along with the elegant fragrance of flowers.

Wisteria flowers from April to May, but now it is August, the harvest season has just passed, and it is already the month of maturity. It is not just wisteria.

Pink tulips are rooted in the oak walls, lavender blooms in the corners with a fragrant aroma, and there are hyacinths, daisies, and many other flowers that cannot be named.

Many flowers are not in bloom, but they bloom strangely at this moment.

The fragrance of flowers may be strong, light, or ethereal, blending just right.

It was an ordinary little house where the witcher was housed in the temple, but it seemed like a greenhouse in the world.

Ailin was about to rub his eyes.

A soft green vine gently came into his sight, as if trying to replace his hand, which scared Ailin so much that he leaned back in resistance.

His back was supported softly.

But there was clearly no high-backed chair with a soft woven back in the room, only a round stool.

The vine immediately stopped extending, and trembled as it retracted, revealing a strong sense of grievance.

There was also a cool touch on the palms of my hands.

He lowered his head.

One of the legs of the stool took root and grew arm guards that fit his arms and hands perfectly, as well as a chair support that fit his waist and back.

Several vines similar to those controlled by the leopard spirit, but greener and without thorns, emerged from the floor.

The green vine that wanted to replace his hands and rub his eyes was the one that grew out of the ground.

Moreover, Ailin could sense that he could control the green vines as long as he emitted a thought.

“What… happened?” Ailin looked at everything in front of him in amazement.

“Wait… it’s the element of the Deer-Headed Spirit!”

He thought about it and opened the Demon Hunting Notes.

[Special Skill Points: 5]

Sure enough, the physical enhancement is not an illusion.

In addition to strength, other attributes are also getting closer to the extreme values, especially constitution and perception, which are only six points away, but…

“The affinity hasn’t changed.” Ailin frowned.

There is no such thing as natural affinity, etc., and there is no additional column for similar factors in the personal panel.

But he was clearly different.

Even in the temple, if you concentrate a little, you seem to be able to hear the voice of nature.

In the past, it was difficult to contact Mother Nature at the Temple of Meritelii, even using “Roar: Voice of the Wild”.

After all, although Meliteli has plant-related duties such as agriculture and harvest, in the final analysis, it is more in line with humans rather than nature.

In addition…

Ailin thought for a moment.

The aggrieved green vine immediately wrapped around his forearm affectionately, and as his five fingers moved, it encircled, pulled, and lifted…

It is even smoother than his own body, and can perform various movements that human arms cannot do. It is extremely flexible.

In the past, using “Beast Roar: Language of the Wild” could of course control plants to a certain extent, and even find targets hundreds of meters away.

But it’s different.

In the past, he used “Beast Roar: The Language of the Wild” to control Mother Nature, but now, without Mother Nature, he can sense the emotions of plants and guide and control them with his own thoughts, just like…

“call out!”

The soft vines suddenly turned hard and sharp, piercing out like an arrow shot from a full bow, and pierced through the heavy oak table in a flash.

The black, hard barbed protrusions are almost exactly the same as those of the Deer-Headed Demon.

“It’s like Mother Nature has given Her authority… to me…” Ailin thought thoughtfully.

The vine turned from green to dark brown, and its tip twisted towards Ailin as if testing him. It then turned green again and retracted through the small hole pierced by the oak table, wrapping itself around his forearm lovingly.

The humane action made Ailin feel that this green vine was not an ordinary vine.

“From the woodlands?” Arryn asked.

Unfortunately, although Qing Teng looks very smart, he is unable to understand overly complex information and is stuck where he is.

Ailin didn’t care.

He lowered his head, pondering, thinking and recalling.

The extraordinary nature of Woodland is unquestionable.

Looking back now, that woodland actually resembled the golden rice fields in the kingdom of Meriteli.

But the difference is that forest land is closer than rice fields.

It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe, as if Meliteli’s kingdom of God is the relative’s house next door, and the woods is her own home, the home she lived when she was a minor and her parents were still alive.

This home is definitely his home, but the head of the household is not him, but his parents.

Now, the homeowner has delegated power and allowed him to control the sweeping robot at home.

Of course as an orphan he didn’t have this stage, but that’s the meaning.

Since the woodland is not an ordinary woodland, when the woodland wakes up, the surrounding grass is not ordinary grass, and the birds are not ordinary birds. There are deer, wolves, wild boars, tigers, brown bears, white pigeons, crows, hawks, etc.

And that reindeer is naturally not an ordinary animal.

“Druid…”

A possibility immediately emerged in Ailin’s mind.

Those humane and harmoniously coexisting animals are the wise men – the druids – who advocate dialogue with nature and harness the powerful forces of nature to maintain ecological balance.

The overall strength of the druids is not weak, but compared to the warlocks who are eager for power, they care more about the laws of nature and are scattered among various druidic circles. Therefore, they are very low-key and not well-known.

But all the Druidic circles combined definitely far exceed the combined power of the three greatest warlock brotherhoods: Ban Ader, Aretuza, and the Lisberg Civil Partnership.

Even on the Skellige Isles, druids, rather than sorcerers, served as advisors to the king.

The small lake guarded by reindeer may be the origin, the origin of nature, and even the origin of this world.

These druids are all on the path of pursuing the way of nature, some are close and some are far away.

That’s why they were shocked and confused by the fact that he kept moving forward without stopping.

“And the reindeer…”

“Is He a demigod?”
