However, there was still a long time before the time agreed by Angelina. Woody's idea was almost killed by him as soon as he raised it. No matter how many plans he made, he had to meet the person first.
We still don’t know what his character is. Although he trained Angelina, who was originally an orphan, to become a warrior monk, it does not rule out that the malicious intentions he harbored were not exposed.
Even if he wanted to use the whereabouts of a World Tree seed in exchange for the legendary monk's help, he would have to wait until he had a full understanding before he could take the initiative to reveal it.
Otherwise, the group of monks would be much more difficult to deal with than the rigid and stubborn paladins to a certain extent, if he revealed the information about the seeds of the World Tree.
It is not ruled out that they will use force to rob, and then it will be fun to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Woody always believed in a motto.
——"The premise of all transactions is equality."
For the time being, he didn't think of any good way to benefit both parties, but after learning about what the legendary monk might be pursuing, he secretly remembered it in his heart.
After all, it might be useful at some point, at least it would give him another unknown trump card, or connection, in this turbulent era.
At the same time, Woody's sadness caused by the withering of the seeds was a little less.
Kafferman's sadness was gradually released as he poured out his words. After he learned that the Seed of the World Tree was not the only remaining fire in the entire multiverse, his mentality was better than before after a burst of catharsis, and his eyes were bright.
.
He did not question the authenticity of Woody's words. After all, the appearance of the shrine was the most powerful proof, and it didn't take long for Woody to once again show him the existence of natural will.
The long-lost spirit hunting oath has begun.
There is still a lot of time, but since he did not stay in Riverdale City, Woody plans to use the "Heart of the Tree" left by the forest elf not as a material for potions, but instead for the sacrifice of the spirit hunting oath.
The specialties of the Forest Spirit are very good. If possible, Woody still wants to directly replace the Evil Nemesis.
Because he remembered that most of the monsters in the Lost Temple were lawful and neutral, and spells such as protection from evil were unable to work on them, so the evil nemesis, which was only effective against creatures of the evil alignment, was useless at this time.
He wants to maximize his strength before the battle begins. It's not that he doesn't trust Kafferman or Cecil, but that the strength he displays now will greatly affect the subsequent ascension ceremony.
This may affect his future Catastrophe Blade upgrades.
Woody placed the heart of the tree on a separate natural altar.
Because of the special nature of the spirit hunting oath, Woody did not let Donnie and the others observe it up close this time, but only looked at it from a distance. However, even so, the others were still shocked by the natural will that Woody prayed for, especially
It was Cecil. She listened to the insect chirping in the surrounding environment that suddenly rose to several pitches under the influence of natural will. She suddenly discovered that the man in front of her was even smaller than her, but he had a mystery that she had never known about.
One after another, she was surprised, curious, and confused. All kinds of emotions were intertwined in her heart. As an advanced "Secret Mage", she had too many things she wanted to know.
Just like the ancient ritual just now, and like the natural shrine now, she suddenly felt that she was no longer a spellcaster who knew everything, but an idiot who had just entered the city and looked confused at everything she saw.
Woody naturally doesn't care what other people think of him.
He was now staring at the shrine intently. When the natural shrine, which had completely eliminated the spider's divinity, showed its unique emerald green luster in the open space on the hillside, Woody knew that the ceremony had begun.
Without hesitation, he directly repeated the oath he had memorized thousands of times in front of the natural shrine.
——"I swear by nature! The evil will be eliminated and purified, and the undead will eventually be judged by death!"
As the heart of the tree on the altar changed from a bright and clear crystal to a dull white stone, Woody knew that the oath had been established. Similarly, the data emerging from the tree's membrane also told him the result of this ceremony.
——"Natural Walker "Enze": From the beginning of your birth, the will of nature has given you love. In the years to come, you have also relied on this unique love to gain your own blessings in the forest.
Help and benefits that mortals cannot imagine. Any difficult terrain in the forest can be regarded as simple for you. The environment is hidden and you gain 10 benefits in terms of stealth. In addition, you can talk to any creature in the forest.
You can gain 10 points of affinity every time, and they will trust you like their parents.”
——"Whenever druids raise the controversial point that "nature is fair and gives life and death to all creatures," they can never get around the monster "Elf" that is born after the death of a creature, because his
Existence violates the process of life and death. As long as there is a forest and as long as living creatures die, the return of the forest spirit is just a matter of time. Therefore, some people say that the forest spirit is nature itself, but this explanation was quickly rejected.
People criticized it, and it was not until the forest elf, as a creation of the evil mage, was re-entered into the Monster Manual that it ended, and he also had a new definition of "remnant" in the druid's explanation. - ""Remnant"
"The Origin and Origin of the Forest Elves" by Carl Lando, the Ph.D.
…
Pretty good expertise and talents, whether it is stealth gain or ignoring difficult terrain, are what Woody currently needs. Although Woody is a little regretful that he did not get the special skill of the forest elf that can spread fog around and trap it in the fog.
Expertise, but it would be nice to be able to use something like Favor, and the Lost Temple he entered next was built in the forest, so it still played a role.
Therefore, without much hesitation, Woody easily replaced the talent "Evil Bane" with "Natural Walker".
After the data flashed, Woody's current specialties gradually changed to "Excellent", "Telepathy" and "Natural Walker".
At this time, Woody also felt as if his body had entered an extremely comfortable state for an instant. He knew that this was a bonus effect of being a nature walker, allowing him to unknowingly integrate with the forest environment.
This feeling is difficult for others to detect with the naked eye, but Kaferman, who was once a guardian of nature, noticed the natural aura emanating from Woody's body. This situation immediately left him dumbfounded, or
Talk about doubting life.
After all, as an old ranger who often goes in and out of the forest, he can easily tell who are the people in the forest and who are outsiders. He can tell by their breath and the pace of their movements.
He and Woody also had the experience of traveling together, and he was certain that Woody's experience in fighting in the forest was definitely not rich. This could be seen from the previous battle with the creeping monster in the Great Rift, but this time, he learned from Woody
What he felt on his body was the feeling of being a fey. He seemed to have been in the forest since he was born, and the whole nature was celebrating his arrival. It was a rhythm that was pleasing to the eye.
You know, these changes only happen in an instant.
However, this also further supports the rumor that Woody has signed a contract with the will of nature. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the changes that are happening to Woody's body.
But the more this happens, the more Caverman begins to look forward to the next journey, because according to this favored person of natural will, his wife is really likely to appear in the so-called demiplane of this forest.
. Thinking of this, the ranger, whose body was already half buried in the ground, felt full of motivation.
"I have to go to the forest."
Woody felt the benefits given to him by the Nature Walker, so he naturally wanted to go to the forest to fully adapt, which would be more conducive to his subsequent performance.
Cecil had no objection, she was just slightly curious.
"Woody, why do you look and feel different?"
"Well, just like those druids!"
Doni interjected.
The spirit of nature also showed a rare expression of surprise. Obviously with its understanding ability, it was difficult to accept that a mortal who had nothing just now, at this moment, the body actually exudes an aura similar to its own. This is the blessing of nature.
Signal.
However, the existence of the natural shrine was enough to answer all questions, so Woody left the temporary camp without being asked too much, entered the forest, and began to experience the feeling brought by the nature walker.
Others also started their own preparations. Cecil was still reading the magic manual in the carriage, while Kaferman continued to tinker with his weapons, seeming to be enchanting arrows, while the spirit of nature was strange.
What was being collected around the camp, Donnie saw flowers of different shapes.
What is this going to do?
Doni was a little curious, but she was not familiar with the spirit of nature and had no communication, so she could only secretly complain to Cecil. When Cecil heard the behavior of the spirit of nature, he felt a little strange, but he did not directly
He went to ask, after all, they had to rely on the memory of Cohen in his mind to come here, but he felt a little wary in his heart.
When Woody came back, he told him about this.
After Woody came back, he didn't show much surprise when he heard the news. He vaguely guessed the reason.
When Cecil saw Woody's appearance, he seemed to understand something in an instant and said in surprise.
"You mean?"
"Yes, that's it."
The conversation between the two had no content, but both parties got the information they wanted from their expressions. Only Doni, who was still confused from the discovery to the end, was extremely anxious.
"what does it mean?"
"What does he collect flowers for? Why are you two chatting like this!"
Donnie was a little angry and couldn't hold it back for a moment, so she directly spoke the common language in the form of a tabby cat.
Woody and Cecil looked at each other, smiled at each other.
"If your guess is correct, it should be related to its owner. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it."
"Oh, you mean the lord's wife who created him?"
Doni naturally understood when she heard this, but she was still shocked. After all, she couldn't understand why the spirit of nature wanted to collect flowers. If it were her, she would definitely hope to receive many beautiful pearls and corals after her death, and shark……
"Well, he said before that in order to curb the curse, his wife died in the third turmoil. I think the grave should be nearby here."
Woody's guess was not wrong. As the time reached three o'clock in the afternoon, the entire forest was bathed in the warm sunshine. Stepping in the shadow of the broken trees, Woody and his party of three people, one dragon and a natural spirit entered. The destination of this trip was in the Jingge Forest.
Compared with the flat terrain and dense jungle scenery in the Great Rift area, one of the most significant changes in the Jingge Forest is that the view of the forest gradually broadens as it goes deeper, and towering giant trees with thick vines replace the originally dense jungle. , and the dense tree crown also fragmented the warm sunshine projected down from above.
Woody and his group climbed up and down the hillside surrounded by giant trees, occasionally using the hanging vines to climb to the bottom of the next tree like climbing a staircase.
Since entering the Jingge Forest, they have never walked a straight road again. Going around the foothills of the rising forest has gradually become the norm. Climbing like this is already considered simple. There has been a road stretching for several miles before. There was no place to set foot among the thorn bushes, so Woody could only take a detour.
"Is there a green dragon living in this forest? There are vines and high slopes. I even thought I was in the Supreme Forest."
Duni jumped lightly in the forest, but even she couldn't help but be surprised by the majesty of this primeval forest. In the memory of Dragon's inheritance, the only thing that could compare with it was the supreme forest where the elves lived.
"It's just a simple aberration. The green dragon's lair cannot have so many tall trees. They are usually like stars looming over the moon. There is only one that is particularly eye-catching."
Woody's foot stepped on a protruding tree knob, and he climbed up to the bottom of another giant tree. Looking at such a majestic tree above his head, although he had the memory of his previous life as a guarantee, Woody Still can't help but be afraid.
Wouldn't it suddenly turn into an ancient tree of war? He remembered that he had encountered such a situation during his previous adventures in the Fairy Wilderness.
He couldn't bear a slap from that thing.
Fortunately, none of the giant trees made any movement through this particularly huge forest.
After passing through this strange hill composed of giant trees, there was only one ridge left from where the spirit of nature said it could close the mist surrounding the Golden River Valley. You only need to climb to the other side of Jingsong Forest to reach it.
However, when everyone worked hard to climb to the highest point of the ridge and could already see most of the Jingsong Forest, the natural spirit who had been the leader stopped.
He turned his head and said to everyone.
"Stop here for a moment. I have something to do and will be back soon. Of course, if you are worried and don't feel bored, you can follow me."
Woody noticed at this time that there was a handful of blooming flowers on his waist.
