Chapter 391: The Oak Guard and the Inn in the Clouds
Translator: Lonelytree
In the oak forest, the ancient power was reviving.
Summoning the forest guards was a long and difficult task. The inherent limitations of plant species made it difficult for them to be as active as animals.
Matthew’s forest was still very young.
Under natural circumstances, it would take at least hundreds of years for this forest to produce oak guards.
However, the existence of the Fairy Princess could break this restriction.
This was because the power that Lulu was chanting did not come from the Flower Garden but from an inner plane.
[Myriad World Forest Ocean].
The Forest Ocean was the birthplace of all plants in the Multiverse.
The inner plane was a concept that corresponded to the outer plane.
Compared to the outer planes that were exposed in the astral plane, the inner planes were undoubtedly more secretive.
Entering the forest was a supreme honour for Druids, and it was also their lifelong goal.
And in the myths and legends of the Enlightenment Era.
Even among the gods, not many were qualified to visit the forest.
There were only two people who could do this. One of them became the God of Nature, and the other was the God of Travelers.
Of course, they were all imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace now.
The Forest Ocean was also the home of all the plants in the world.
In the knowledge of the Druids.
Every fallen leaf eventually returned to the forest. They were just rotting on the surface of the material world. Their ” souls ” as plants were summoned by a mysterious force to the forest.
All in all.
The Forest Ocean was undoubtedly sacred and mysterious to plants.
Spells that could mobilize the power of the Forest Ocean were extremely rare. Only the Fairy Princess, who had been reincarnated from the Forest Ocean, had such power.
Matthew had long known that Lulu came from the Forest Ocean.
Because it was difficult for the oak forest to give birth to oak fairies on its own, without the ancestors of the fairies, the light fairies.
Therefore, the only source of this group of outsiders could only be the Forest Ocean.
This was also the reason why Matthew had decisively asked Lulu to summon the oak guard.
Lulu did not disappoint Matthew.
With the power of the Forest Ocean, after the chant ended, four oak trees in the forest awakened and became oak guards!
This ratio was ridiculously high.
What made Matthew even more excited was that, with the strange movements of the oak trees, a fleeting space-time gap appeared in front of the two of them.
A burly figure slowly walked out from inside.
He bowed slightly at Lulu.
“I’m willing to serve the princess.”
It was a male centaur!
[Hint: Centaur Tree Herder Obast (LV18) was summoned by Fairy Princess Lulu. He decisively left the forest and came here to follow her!]
Obast had a muscular upper body.
He had a thick beard and hair, and his hair and beard were connected together, revealing only his brownish-red face.
His weapon was a spear, and he also had a certain amount of nature magic.
As a tree herder…
Obast had a natural instinct for the maintenance of the forest. He would patrol the forest every day and carefully inspect and take care of every tree.
The Tree Herder’s special characteristic determined that he could gain XP during the growth of the forest.
The larger the forest was, the more benefits he could obtain.
It could be said that as long as he stayed there, his achievements in this life would be bound to this oak forest.
“I’m not the owner of this forest.”
Lulu was still a little shy when she met strangers.
She quickly flew behind Matthew, who had also returned to his human form.
“Matthew is. ”
Lulu said.
Obast looked at Matthew with a solemn gaze.
“A necromancer?”
Matthew spread out his right hand and activated the domain of the undead.
A look of disgust appeared on Obast’s face.
However, Matthew reached out his left hand almost at the same time and opened the Oak Domain.
The disgust on the Centaur’s face immediately turned into surprise!
“How is that possible?
” Your Excellency has both the ‘Undead’ and the ‘Oak Tree’ in your hands? “Aren’t you afraid of repeating the same mistake as the Second Son of Death?”
Obast said in surprise.
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat. He asked,
“What was the mistake of the second son of Death?”
Obast said in a deep voice,
” The second son of the God of Death, Mabarron. He once tried to combine death and the natural domain, and in the end, he almost drove himself crazy. He almost died because of this!
” The Myriad World Forest Ocean was also damaged because of that incident. There are still many elves working day and night near the scars left by
Mabarron. They are working hard to repair the wounds.”
Matthew’s heart sank.
However, he was not surprised by this result. It was not easy to forcefully combine two large domains.
It was normal for others to fail on this path. Just because others couldn’t do it didn’t mean that he couldn’t! Matthew was very confident in himself.
So he said,
” I don’t have a noble background like the Second Son of Death, and I don’t have the ambition to combine the two fields into one. I walk the path of equilibrium and transformation.
“I am indeed a necromancer, but I planted every oak tree here myself. “If you mind my identity, you can leave now, but I hope you can stay.”
There was no expression on Obast’s face. He thought for half a minute and finally said, “I choose to stay.
Because I believe in the princess’s choice.
“But if I find that this place is different from what I expected, I might leave at
any time..”
