Chapter 494: Return to the Sacred Forest! Druids’ Gathering!
There are gods in the demon hunter world, there is no doubt about that. In addition to the eternal fire that will gradually rise in the future, there are countless gods, such as Meliteli, Cliff, and the lion-headed spider… good or evil gods, in the northern continent.

Meliteli, Arryn had even seen her kingdom of God with her own eyes.

But he couldn’t be sure whether demigods existed.

In the past, when this word was mentioned, it was only used to describe the strength of a strong person.

For example, Heng Gedimides could not reach the transcendent level of gods, but he was far stronger than other powerful people.

But in fact, gods are not human beings. Neither Meliteli nor Cliff are humans who have actually existed in the northern continent and ascended to the throne of gods.

The recent emergence of the Great Deeds Container seems to have a bit of the flavor of faith in becoming a god, and the example of the prophet Lebioda is also very suspicious.

But the Northern Continent has never had a very definite stage, where mortals – demigods – gods, do not exist.

Gods are never humans ascended to higher levels, but are born gods.

But that reindeer…

Ailin closed his eyes and thought back. The golden antlers that looked very much like a crown were shining with the light of divinity.

“Definitely not a god,” he said softly. “In that forest, the emotions of the void were very clear. Although the emotions conveyed by the reindeer were indifferent, there was no sense of transcendence.”

This is not to say that gods should not have emotions.

Meritelli also has changes in emotions, from the naivety of a young girl, the kindness of a pregnant woman, to the severity of an old woman.

But that kind of transcendent feeling can make people clearly feel the boundary between themselves and ordinary people.

Meliteli’s emotions are merely the outward manifestation of the three phases, and are essentially due to divinity and priesthood, not to Meliteli herself having emotions.

Reindeer are different. The emotions they express are very human, or in other words, they are normal human thoughts.

The difference is very obvious.

Therefore, the concept of demigod, who is essentially a human but has embarked on the path of transcendence and becoming a god, is the only appropriate description he can think of.

“Who is he? Is there really a way to become a god in the demon hunter world?”

Thinking of this, Ailin’s mind became a little dazed.

Lebioda, Druid, Unnamed Lake…

Has he, who has shared the origin of nature through the elements of the Deer-Head Spirit, already embarked on this path?

How should we continue on this path?

If he becomes a god, Warlocks, Wild Hunt and Hoarfrost… well… Hoarfrost won’t work, and Meliteli can’t do anything about it, but at least Warlocks and Wild Hunt shouldn’t be a big problem anymore.

“Whoo~”

Ailin let out a breath.

Becoming a god is still a long way off. He doesn’t even know what a great cause container is…

and many more!

Ailin suddenly frowned, thinking of the first element he used.

“Why is there nothing left in my mind after using @#￥%&’s elements?”

“When I used the Deer-Head Spirit’s elements, I felt dazed and dreamy, but at least all the contents were firmly imprinted in my mind.”

“This shows that forgetting is not a normal phenomenon.”

“So what did I see at that time? Was it also a place of origin?”

Ailin tried to recall, but his mind was still empty. There was only the scene before using the @#￥%& element, and after waking up, Vesemir and Nenneke were wary and suspicious, as if he had just fainted in the meantime.

“No…” He sighed and shook his head, “I can’t remember at all.”

The green vine wrapped around his arm felt his emotions and gently rubbed the back of his hand, as if to comfort him.

Ailin observed it carefully for a long time.

After using the elements of Deer Head Essence, the effect is much more direct and obvious than the elements of @#￥%&.

He still doesn’t know how the analysis of “Beast Roar: Fury” was completed.

The whole process seems to be a black box.

“Could it be that @#￥%&’s elements are more obscure than those of the Deer-Headed Spirit, because it is a true evil god, and the requirements for complete control are higher?” Ailin speculated in his mind, but obviously could not get an answer.

Just as he was about to put this question in his “memorandum” as usual, waiting for more information to appear before thinking about it again, he suddenly thought of…

Although Ianna probably didn’t know, and Tissaia de Vris was not in a position to ask, he was not without any channels for information at the moment.

“Since that ‘reindeer’ is suspected to be a demigod, he must know what the elements are!”

“Who knows, we can ask Him about the meaning of the Great Deed Container.”

“More importantly, although He once stood between me and the Origin, He eventually made way for me. Regardless of whether He had good intentions or not, He at least had no ill intentions…”

“feasible!”

“Totally possible!”

Ailin immediately became excited.

And it’s not just the two most important issues, elements and great deeds containers…

Where is that woodland?
What do the plants in the woodland symbolize?
Are those animals druids?

Is lake water the origin?
Why even more so, that his appearance in the woods was that of King Kano, the golden snow monster who appeared when he awakened the Way of Beast Roar?
What does this mean? What good will it do? Will he be able to transform into a beast like the legendary druids and become a giant beast like King Kano?
He still remembered the strong sense of oppression brought by King Kano and the One-Eyed Clan, which was much stronger than that brought by Heng Gedimides and Tissaia de Vris.

And that’s the purest, most raw feeling of power.

Once he is able to transform into King Kano, his combat power can no longer be said to have skyrocketed.

at this time.

He had countless questions to ask, and it seemed that the answers to all these questions could be found in that mysterious woodland.

He did as he said, and immediately closed his eyes in the fragrance that filled the room.

for a long time.

Ailin opened his eyes blankly.

“How do we enter that forest?”
–
Mayna Forest.

“This forest hasn’t been this lively for a long time.” Erwin, stepping on rotten leaves and leaning on a jujube wood staff, glanced at the druids coming from all directions and said with emotion.

“A long time?” Ishige stroked the fawn that was not afraid of strangers and came closer. “Has Maina ever gathered like today before? Why don’t I remember it?”

“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve heard the assembly bell…”

He glanced around, his eyes lingering for a moment on the deer, cows, squirrels, and bears that were traveling with them but were clearly different from ordinary animals.

“I have never seen so many believers in the Way of Nature in Mayna, let alone the great druids who control the form of nature.”

“I always thought that there were only about twenty of us in Maina, and some apprentices…”

“How long have you been here?” said the bearded Edes, nodding and greeting a brown bear that passed by. “Seven years?”

“It’s been exactly five years,” Ishige patted the fawn’s head and let it play on its own. “It feels like I’ve been practicing in Maina for so long.”

“No wonder…” Edes looked up at the towering oak tree in the distance and thought, “Before you came, about seven or eight years ago, Maina was not very lively, but the gathering bell would often ring.” “Yes…” Erwin also said with emotion, “At that time, the Grand Master often summoned us to teach us the principles of nature, and we would gather once every one or two weeks…”

“It was just as it is now.”

He looked around. “These druids are the oldest in Maina, wise men who are devoted to the truth of nature.”

“The brown bear is Master Isaac McKinney, who has almost reached the pinnacle of wild power. The smaller one is his former apprentice, Knis…”

“The raven is Master Zeby Ortega…”

“Master Siegfried Kruger is…”

Erwin introduced them to Ehiel one by one.

“You know them all?” Ishige was surprised.

Erwin nodded: “If it weren’t for the call of the Grand Master in the past, I wouldn’t have known him.”

“The masters are all elders and wise men with very good personalities. When we encounter problems while the Grand Master is practicing, we will ask them and we will always get careful answers.”

“certainly……”

“The Grand Master has the highest attainments in the Way of Nature, and his explanations are profound and easy to understand. It is said that many Great Druids are apprentices of the Grand Master.”

“Is that so…” Ishige was a little envious. The owner of the Ring of Mainadrui was the one who had gone the furthest in the way of nature in the northern continent.

No one questioned it, and there was no way to question it.

After all, unlike warlocks, who have not only magical abilities, but also academic abilities, political status, wealth and treasures, and many other dimensions.

Druids’ pursuit is very simple; being close to nature is their only and ultimate desire.

And this desire appears clearly and distinctly in the sacred grove, which is the distance to the holy lake.

There is no doubt that the owner of the Ring of Mainadrui is the most recent and only one.

of course……

Now there seems to be one more.

At first.

He left the Skellige Islands and chose to settle here, which can be said to be a result of his admiration for the place.

Of course, he never thought that he would be taught personally by that person, but he did not expect that those who came earlier, such as Erwin and Edes, would eat so well.

It seems that the Grand Master not only teaches in person, but does so quite frequently.

envy!

How jealous!

“Ishige!” A bald druid came over from a distance. He was as disheveled as all the druids, but his face was obviously younger.

He was leaning on a walking stick, carefully avoiding the great druid who looked like a squirrel but was obviously of extremely high level of cultivation.

“Ishige, what happened in Maina? Why did you suddenly summon us? And so many… so many seniors have come…”

Yi Xijie was stunned for a moment, and asked back: “You don’t know? Didn’t you meditate just now?”

“Know what?” The bald druid scratched his head. “I’m patrolling the woods this week. Where do I find the time to meditate? What? Did I miss something important?”

The druids of the Druid Circle are not just responsible for practicing all day long.

The Circle of Mainadrui is more or less an organization, and it is also the most famous druid circle in the entire continent. Naturally, there are many chores that need to be done by druids.

Patrolling the forest is one of them. Druids patrol the Maina Forest to deter poachers, control forest pests, treat accidentally injured animals, and eliminate potential destroyers of the natural ecological cycle, such as carnivorous creatures.

So it will be very busy indeed.

However, this kind of general affairs is actually the top level of general affairs.

Although every day in the seven-day cycle is very busy, protecting nature and maintaining the balance between ecosystems is also a kind of practice. If you do it well, you will be favored by Mother Nature.

And even if there is no benefit, this kind of chores that conform to the laws of nature are also what many druids like.

Even in other druidic circles, many druids approach nature by patrolling the woods and balancing nature instead of meditating.

This is the difference in the concepts of each druid ring.

It is worth mentioning that the most annoying thing in the general affairs are the requests from some nobles around.

It is complicated and difficult to cultivate radically. There is a high probability that you will encounter some idiots and you will make a wasted trip with nothing to gain.

Ok.

The latter is often the norm.

“That’s a bit unfortunate for you, Heinrich,” Edes teased.

“What’s wrong?” Bald Druid Heinrich felt something was wrong. “What does this have to do with whether or not you have time to meditate? Could there be a problem with the Holy Forest… Wait… It’s really the Holy Forest!”

Looking at the expressions of Edes, Erwin, and Ishige, Heinrich forgot about his surroundings for a moment.

The exclamation instantly broke the tranquility of Mayina Forest.

Brown bears, squirrels, magpies, and ravens all looked back, casting sad and confused glances.

“Keep your voice down!”

Edes glared at Heinrich and apologized profusely to the animals around him, big and small.

Ezekiel pulled Heinrich, who was shrinking his head, over and told him about the appearance of the golden-haired giant beast in the holy forest, how it crossed the entire holy forest, passed them and a group of druids, appeared in front of the great mentor, and touched the Lake of Origin.

During this time, Heinrich opened his mouth many times, unable to stop being surprised, but the three druids who were well prepared covered his mouth tightly to prevent him from making any noise.

“How is it possible that a druid, for the first time in the Sacred Forest, would walk to the Lake of Origin of Mother Nature?”

After hearing the story, Heinrich suppressed his surprise.

“Who knows?” Edes shrugged. “But it is true. All the druids who were meditating and focusing their minds on the sacred forest witnessed this scene.”

“So the Grand Master, who hasn’t shown up in nearly ten years, rang the summoning bell just for this matter?”

“Just for…” Ishige glanced at Heinrich, “Isn’t this matter big enough? That is the Lake of Origin. I have been walking for more than 30 years and just got out of the ‘grassland’. I don’t know if I can see the sparkling waves of the holy lake from afar in my lifetime…”

Heinrich waved his hands again and again: “You know I don’t mean that, I just… I just can’t believe that someone can arrive in a moment…”

Thinking that he was still not as far away as Yi Xijie, he suddenly felt depressed:

“Who wouldn’t want to see it? I dream about it.”

There was silence among the four druids for a moment.

“Not necessarily,” Erwin maintained the rare rigor among druids and patted Heinrich’s shoulder comfortingly. “We just received the assembly bell. We are not sure whether it was summoned by the Grand Master or whether it is about the golden-haired giant. Perhaps…”

The words have not yet fallen.

“Boom~”

An emerald green glow rose into the sky from the core of the Mayna Forest.
