Farming Tree Spirit

The deepest part of the forest.

In a quiet tree house.

The Elf Queen, who had just left the hall, quickly arrived here.

She changed her usual majesty and sat on the chair next to the wooden bed, silently watching the gentle and beautiful figure on the bed.

"Why bother?"

A sigh sounded in the wooden house.

Of course she knew why the other party fell into a deep sleep.

In addition to losing the source of power, the main reason is the unfounded delusion.

This delusion.

She didn't approve.

After all, the elves need a moon priest.

Even if Luna is really gone.

Think of this.

The Elf Queen moved her arm, and the small bottle from before appeared in her hand, and the breath of life filled the entire tree house.

Immediately afterwards.

She opened the bottle gently.

Pour out the drop of spring water inside, drip onto the crescent mark on the heart of the Moon Sacrifice, and disappear in the blink of an eye.

boom--

The terrifying soul aura erupted around the entire wooden house, sweeping in all directions.

Above the giant tree where the wooden house was located, a ray of pure white moonlight fell, condensing into a crescent moon in the sky.

Huge movement.

In an instant, a group of nearby elders gathered in front of the wooden house.

"What's going on?"

"It seems to be the aura of the great priest!"

"Has the high priest woke up??"

Voices of surprise and excitement echoed everywhere, and the elders all recognized the source of the breath. It was the Moon Priest who had been sleeping for fifty years!

only.

Before they could enter the cabin.

The Elf Queen's voice came from inside.

"As long as I'm here, you can go do your own thing."

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Your Majesty is inside?"

The elders suddenly realized.

It seems that Her Majesty the Queen found a way to wake up the high priest, which is why she made such a big noise.

Although he had many doubts in his heart, he turned around and left to deal with the commotion caused by this movement.

Wait until they are all gone.

The atmosphere around the wooden house gradually converged.

Looking at the wooden bed again, the Moon Priest who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly woke up.

As if she knew it was the Elf Queen who woke her up, she stared above without any trouble.

"You shouldn't have woken me up."

Her voice was cold and without any emotion.

It was like losing hope in everything.

"The elves need you and need a moon priest."

The Elf Queen sighed secretly, her eyes filled with indescribable melancholy.

Because even she herself.

They were all brought up by the previous Moon Priest.

Looking back now, so many years have passed and so much has happened.

"You should know very well that the Moon Sacrifice was born for the moon and the night. When the moon goes out, my mission ends."

The Moon Priest slowly sat up from the bed, his white hair falling down, shining with moving brilliance under the light coming in from the window.

Under the white hair, there is a soft and beautiful face that is not inferior to that of the Elf Queen. It is slightly haggard, but it does not lose the holy aura that belongs to the Moon Elf.

She turned her head and stared at the birds and flowers outside the window with her ethereal eyes, as if she was in another world.

As a sacrifice to the moon.

Since her birth, she has had only one mission, and that is to serve the moon.

Now the moon has gone out and the moon god is no longer there.

Her life has no meaning anymore.

The Elf Queen opened her mouth but stopped talking.

But in the end, the news was not revealed.

Because she knows it very well.

Not everyone can bear the pain of regaining hope and then having it dashed again.

She had the same idea as the tree spirit elder. She didn't want to see this scene appear before the facts were truly confirmed.

"You should take a good rest and recover. Don't waste the holy water I specially brought out."

The Elf Queen didn't say the source of the holy water, she just placed the bottle in her hand beside the bed, then got up and left the cabin.

Crunch~

The wooden door closes.

The Moon Priest then lowered his head and held the bottle in his hand.

As if holding the most precious thing in the world, he lay on the bed and curled up.

But eventually.

Still didn't fall asleep again.

…

at this time.

Rhodes doesn't know yet.

What a big impact the things he gave away casually had.

Seeing that there was not much time until the black moon came, he took the little guys and began to check the defense measures everywhere.

Until the evening of the third day, the sky gradually became dark.

Ogola finally appeared on the altar, his aura several times stronger than before.

"Augula, have you reached level five?"

Rhodes, who came over, asked in surprise.

"Yes, luckily I have something from Lord Rhodes, otherwise I may not be able to advance successfully."

Augula was also very excited.

Because he is finally not the weakest in the entire forest sea.

It is indeed the legendary holy water of the moon.

Originally, he planned to ask about the Moon Fountain, but suddenly he noticed that most of the sky was already occupied by darkness, and his heart suddenly froze.

"Is the black moon coming soon?"

"Probably."

Rhodes nodded solemnly: "But we have made so many preparations. As long as we are careful, there won't be any big problems."

During this period of time, he had already figured out the two directions around him, and the highest-level black beast was only the third level.

Even if one or two do come over.

It can also be completely resisted with Ogula.

Higher-level black beasts are basically found deeper in the druid lair and the mountain giant forest. They are far away from here and the chance of appearing is not high.

So he planned to take this opportunity to give the little thing more experience, preferably directly to the second level.

The only regret is.

Most of the soul power of black beasts killed when the black moon comes will be sucked away by the black moon, and it is difficult to drop things like druid soul fragments.

Otherwise, he would like to get a few more soul druids.

"Right."

At this time, a light flashed from Ogula's body, and a scroll appeared in his hand: "This is the magic scroll you asked me to find. The Sea of ​​Forest has been closed for too long. I only found this one. It was summoned by a sacrifice a long time ago. The sacrifices I received.”

After the Tree of Life statue was repaired and the soul solidified, Augura was able to bring some small things over.

However, because he had been disconnected from the outside world for too long, he asked many of his fellow tribesmen and could not come up with much useful information.

"Okay, it's better than nothing."

Rhodes took the scroll and opened it quickly.

[Obtain first-level magic scroll (Ice Barrier) x1]

[Ice Barrier: Mobilize magic power to condense an ice shield around the designated target to resist certain attacks. The effect depends on the magic power consumption. 】

It's actually a shield skill?

After reading the information, Rhodes was overjoyed.

This was exactly the auxiliary magic he wanted most.

It's just that ice magic is a bit troublesome, and I don't know if it can be like the Thorn Guard, replacing the elements that build the magic circle with natural ones.

Thinking about it, the formations of shield magic are all similar, so it shouldn't be any more difficult than Thorn Guard.

You must know that Thorn Guard can directly convert death into life. There is no reason why it is more difficult to convert ice type into natural type.

"Try it and then talk about it!"

Rhodes made a quick decision.

After talking to Ogula, he came to the open space and started experimenting with new magic.

What he didn't expect was the result.

As soon as he heard that he was going to study new magic, not only Ogula ran over, but even the little ones gathered next to him, looking like curious babies.

"You like to watch the excitement so much, little thing, come here and try out my new magic effect."

"Eaaah!"

The little thing who was suddenly named yelled and hurriedly ran behind Augula and hid.

Rhodes smiled and didn't care about it.

Directly mobilizing magic power, he began to build a magic circle according to the route on the scroll. The ice element inside was also replaced by the natural element that he could best control.

I don't know if it's because it's easier to switch from ice type to natural type, or if he's just luckier.

The first attempt did not fail. The magic circle was successfully constructed and turned into a stream of green energy that fell on a rock in front of it.

Wow~

There was a sound of sweeping leaves.

That life energy actually turned into pieces of semi-solid leaves, forming a leaf shield around the stone, completely blocking out the dust.

"Strange, shouldn't this magic be of the ice type?"

Augula was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

The little guys quickly gathered around and curiously poked at the shield with their fingers, but they were all bounced away by the rotating leaves.

The corners of Rhodes' mouth raised, he raised his hand and cast another cultivation magic on the shield.

Buzz——

The breath of life spreads.

The leaf shield instantly grew larger and thicker.

"Eaaah!"

"quack!"

"roar!"

The boys screamed and ran away in fear, thinking that the shield was going to explode.

Only the mountain giant baby and the little stone stood there blankly, wondering why leaves grew on that stone.

Seeing that the enlarged shield was about to press on it, Rhodes' magic power was replaced by harvest magic, which was directly applied to the shield.

original.

According to his expectations.

It should increase the production of leaves and increase the shield density.

However, the next second after the harvest magic merged with the shield, a larger shield suddenly appeared outside the original shield.

Then two, three...

In the blink of an eye.

It actually turned into a four-layer shield!

"ah?"

Rhodes lowered his head, looked at his hands, and then looked at the stacked shields.

Is this how harvest magic increases production?

Doesn't that mean.

When he has enough mental strength, he can instantly activate ten layers of shields by raising his hand?

This is awesome!

It's not just him.

Even Augula on the side was shocked.

Some couldn't believe that this was the first-level magic they had brought.

But before he could ask, his expression suddenly changed.

"roar!"

"Ouch!!"

Roaring sounds echoed throughout the black soil.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a powerful suction force, tearing at his soul crazily.

Rhodes was shocked and suddenly looked at the sky.

I saw a strange black moon hanging high in the center of the originally empty sky, making the surrounding black soil begin to stir.

"Black Moon!"

Augula let out a low cry, and his spirit instantly became tense.

Rhodes didn't waste any time and hurried back to the altar with the little guys, ready to fight at any time.

Just then.

A roar sounded.

Rhodes followed the sound and suddenly frowned.

Because the direction from which the sound appeared was neither the Druid's lair nor the mountain giant forest.

But it is another direction he has never explored!
