Chapter 495 The visitor from another world can’t go back!

The clouds were blown away.

The emerald green glow that shot up into the sky spread out from a straight line of light, with the core of the Mayina Forest as its source.

All the woodlands covered by the beam of light were raining green light.

The tremendous vitality, along with the spreading light and rain of light, descended upon the entire forest.

The birds with broken wings spread their wings again, the wounded foxes healed visibly, the grass and bushes grew wildly, and even the oak trees grew much taller.

The whole forest cheered, rejoicing at the sage’s revival.

“This… is this the Great Master?” Ishige felt the pulsating vitality in his body. The way of nature had never been so close to him.

“That’s right!”

The long-bearded Edes took a deep breath, almost greedily, of the air filled with emerald vitality:

“A Tribute to Life!”

“Only the Grand Master can perform a Life Hymn of such an outrageous range.”

“It’s been such a long time coming.”

The Druid’s healing skills are unparalleled in the world.

And unlike the priests of Meliteli, the druids’ healing techniques have almost no side effects.

The priests of Meliteli use their magic to stimulate and overdraw the life force in the body of the recipient, so as to quickly heal injuries.

Druids who are good at controlling the powerful forces of nature use this power to infuse gentle life force into the body of the recipient, thereby enhancing the recipient’s regenerative ability.

Hymn of Life is the Druid’s most advanced healing technique. As long as one has a breath left, one can survive with the blessing of Hymn of Life and heal quickly.

of course.

While the effect is so remarkable, the requirements for the practitioner are also extremely high.

Unlike divine magic that can be performed by ordinary priests, Hymn of Life requires a very deep understanding of the ways of nature. The minimum requirement is that one must be a great druid who masters the transformation of holy forms.

Archdruids are extremely rare. Normally, there are only about ten of them among the hundreds of druids in a druid circle.

Generally, such great druids would seclude themselves in the mountains to practice the way of nature and would not appear in the outside world.

Also.

Normally, when an Arch Druid casts Salute of Life, the casting range is no more than a small open space with a radius of two or three steps.

But now this almost covers the entire Mayina Forest’s sphere of influence…

Ehiel had never seen it, he had never even heard of it.

It is hard to imagine how far the great master who can perform such a praise of life has gone on the way of nature. He… no… He is almost the incarnation of nature on earth.

“How far has the Grand Master come now?” Ishige couldn’t help but ask.

Erwin and Edes looked at each other.

“No one knows,” Erwin shook his head, “but I remember Master Isaac McKinney once said that no one in the Mayna Forest or any forest in the northern continent could threaten the Grand Master.”

Any existence… Ishige opened his mouth in astonishment and stared at Erwin.

Erwin nodded slightly.

“Let’s go. Don’t think too much. The Grand Master’s strength is beyond our imagination.” Edes broke Ishige’s surprise and quickened his pace. “We need to get to the Sacred Oak Tree sooner. I am more and more curious about how to wake up the Grand Master.”

The other three druids nodded and quickened their pace.

The Ring of Mainadruy is lush and green in midsummer.

The further you go towards the center of the forest, the more trees you can see, each taller and more majestic than the last.

Stepping on the rotten leaves step by step, listening to the rustling whispers of the woods, it seems that every step is stepping on the rings of time.

These giant trees are oaks.

Because of their longevity and toughness, druids generally call them the Tree of Life. They are the bridge between the source and reality.

“Every time I see the sacred Maina, I can’t help but be impressed by the mighty power of nature…” Hainshiri looked up and couldn’t help but feel emotional.

At the end of the sight, towering trees hold up a canopy of leaves that blocks out the sun, and the dark brown between the lush branches and leaves is almost like a thick city wall.

That is the Holy Maina, the largest oak tree in the northern continent.

In fact, the Druid’s Circle was not originally an organization like the Association of Talents and Skills or the Warlock Brotherhood. It was just a gathering place for a group of druids who lived and practiced in the forest, focusing on communicating with nature and rarely exchanging ideas.

Even today, many druidic circles still retain their original loose structure.

But the Ring of Maina Drui is different. Since its birth, it has been a gathering of druids with an organized goal. The goal of the gathering is simple – to protect the ancient Tree of Life in the Maina Forest.

The most important thing is to protect the oak tree at the core of Maina, which is tens of thousands of years old – the Sacred Maina.

If the oak tree is the bridge between the source of nature and reality, then the sacred Mayna is the largest bridge to the source of nature.

“Who says it’s not true?” Edes stroked his long gray beard and looked at the sacred Maina with fascination. “The reason why I chose the Ring of Mainadrui was because of her. I thought I could find the truth of nature from her graceful figure.”

“Isn’t it because of the Grand Master’s explanation and resolution of doubts?” Yi Xijie teased.

Edes shrugged: “It was a pleasant surprise.”

Although Aides and his group came as soon as they heard the bell, the archdruids who were practicing deep in the woods, isolated from the world, were faster.

of course.

There are many archdruids who are slower than them.

Perhaps out of courtesy, these sages who walked in the woods in the holy form of nature spirits returned to human form when they approached the sacred Maina.

At this moment, many old figures were sitting cross-legged under the sacred Maina tree.

However, they did not take advantage of the rare opportunity of reunion to exchange their feelings and gains in practice, but instead stood straight, closed their eyes and practiced, as if they did not want to waste a single minute.

So.

In the large open space in front of the sacred Mayna tree, only the rustling sound of footsteps echoed, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.

The four druids, Edes, Erwin, Ehiel, and Heinrich, walked past several druids who had transformed from gray wolves into human form – the archdruids had just switched from walking on four legs to walking on two legs, and they were controlling their hands and feet with some discomfort – and entered the bustling square in front of the tree.

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to the figure leaning against the trunk of the sacred oak tree.

It’s not because of its amazing momentum, the powerful aura it exudes, and the favor of elements.

On the contrary, that figure was silent and ordinary, but once your eyes fell on it, it was difficult to look away.

It was a reindeer with a body of holy white and magnificent horns. Its legs were folded under its belly, and its head was lowered to the soft soil.

In the middle of summer, reindeer’s fur is usually dark brown, but in the winter it turns milky white for hiding.

However, all four druids knew that the “reindeer’s” coat color was not for hiding, nor was it because they were unskilled.

Holy white is a symbol that is revealed externally.

“Is that the Grand Master?” Ishige whispered.

“Yes,” Erwin nodded, “The figure outside the Lake of Origin is this sacred deer.”

Ishige nodded thoughtfully and sat cross-legged like the other druids.

After a while.

The last few druids who arrived also sat down cross-legged.

The reindeer slowly opened its eyes, and as it stood up from the ground with its slender hooves, a dazzling white light flickered from the texture of its fur. When the white light completely disappeared, the reindeer had disappeared from the spot, leaving only an old druid in a white robe, leaning on a long staff made of deer bone and jujube wood, and with a gray beard.

Unlike the majestic male reindeer, the old druid is like an ordinary, kind-hearted old man who has grown old, without any aura.

However, the druids who were sitting cross-legged stood up from the ground at this moment, and drew a circle with their right hands in front of their chests.

“Great Master!”

The druids stood up and saluted.

“Sit down.” The old druid smiled kindly.

“Grand Master, why are we gathering here?” an impatient druid asked.

Obviously.

Heinrich, who was patrolling the woods, was not the only one who knew nothing.

But this is normal. It is impossible for a druid to meditate non-stop for 24 hours a day. There will always be druids who are unlucky and miss it.

“Is it because of the newcomers in the Holy Forest?” a druid asked.

“Newcomer?” The impatient druid was puzzled.

Someone on both sides immediately described in detail the golden-haired giant beast that appeared in the sacred forest.

The Grand Master patiently waited for the druids to tell him about the strange situation in the Holy Forest. After the druids, who had no idea what was happening, were surprised, he slowly nodded and said:

“It’s because of new people who share the same faith.”

“Wow~”

There was an immediate uproar and a huge uproar in the oak forest.

“A new fellow, so he has really never set foot in the Sacred Forest?”

“Who is he?”

“Has anyone ever seen him?”

“What kind of nature spirit is that golden giant?”

……

Even the usually calm and respected archdruids expressed the same shock as Edes, Erwin and Ishige.

After all, it is not surprising to go deep into the sacred forest. Every few years, decades, or even decades, there are always druids who can do it.

But what is outrageous is that a druid who has never appeared in the sacred forest, as soon as he entered the sacred forest, he went straight to the depths and shared the origin with Mother Nature.

Entering the Holy Forest is a requirement for a druid apprentice to be promoted to a druid. It is not difficult as long as one has some talent in the ways of nature.

However, if you want to pass through the “grassland” where you stand and step into the “dense forest”, it will take at least decades of perception, not to mention the “banyan tree” that follows, and even reaching the “Lake of Origin”, it is a realm that may not be reached in decades, hundreds of years, or even a lifetime.

More importantly, the grasslands, dense forests, banyan trees… are themselves a state of mind, and are also natural truths that need to be comprehended.

This cannot be explained by genius or giftedness.

A druid who has never entered the sacred forest could not possibly know the existence of these truths. How could he have broken through so many realms at once?

It’s like a farmer who has never learned alchemy, but during his slack season he touches ordinary stones on the ground and suddenly learns how to make the philosopher’s stone.

How can impossible things exist and happen?
Of course it cannot exist and cannot happen.

At least before today, no druid would believe it.

“Grand Master, do you know how he did it?” a druid asked, ignoring the noise around him.

The oak forest suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the Grand Master in front of the Holy Maina.

“I don’t understand.” The Grand Master shook his head.

“Golden-haired giant?”

“do not know.”

“What is the origin of that Excellency?”

“do not know.”

……

Ichiger tilted his head and looked at Edes.

“The Grand Master is like this,” Edes smiled helplessly, “very…very sincere.”

It is indeed sincere and completely different from what I imagined… Ishige thought.

He thought the Grand Master was a powerful and majestic person, but he didn’t expect…

“But I know his name,” the Grand Master paused for a few seconds before breaking the silence, “He told me his name is Kano.”

“Kano…” Countless druids murmured with frowns.

This is not the common language, the ancient language, the goblin language lost in history… it is not any language of the northern continent.

and so……

“He is not from our world?”

The archdruid named Isaac McKinney put away his heart, spleen, stomach and gallbladder, which he had intended to use for divination.

“That does make sense,” said Zebi Ortega Druid, whose holy form is a raven, thoughtfully. “He is a master of the way of nature in the other world. He has extremely high attainments in nature, but it is impossible for him to appear in our Origin Path.”

“Did we accidentally enter the celestial conjunction?”

“But how could a master with such high attainments in nature mistakenly enter…wouldn’t nature warn him?”

After collecting his internal organs, Isaac McKinney shook his head and interjected, “As far as I can remember, the celestial conjunction hasn’t happened in decades, and it shouldn’t happen again.”

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, looked back at Edes, Erwin and the others, and asked:
“Edes!”

“Have you received any rumors of a celestial intersection?”

Edes was silent for a few seconds. Under the gazes of the druids, he carefully said, “The situation outside has been complicated recently, but there is indeed information about the intersection of the celestial spheres. It happened in Ban Ade three or four months ago.”

It’s complicated… Isaac McKinney didn’t care. He lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then said:
“It may be the influence of that celestial conjunction.”

“Then follow the ancient custom and find Master Kano and send him back, or…”

“He can’t go back.” The Grand Master suddenly interrupted at this time, his tone firm.

“What do you mean?” Isaac McKinney was stunned.

Since the intersection of the celestial spheres happened less than half a year ago, the two worlds are at their closest now. It would cost some money to ask the warlocks of the Wizarding Union to give it a try. Even if the intersection point disappears, the chance of returning is still good.

If it were an ordinary person from another world, it would certainly not be worth spending such a huge price.

However, a druid master who is equal to the Grand Master, keeping him against his will, would surely cause considerable damage.

Weighing the pros and cons, it is certainly worth a try, at least you have to have an attitude.

The Grand Master glanced at the druids around him, was silent for a few seconds, and said:

“What Mother Nature has bestowed upon us is not just any ordinary source…”

“He sank into the Lake of Origin.”
