This was what Grand Duke Edwina had promised Abel. She asked Lady Carrie to teach him about Druil, and Lady Carrie did what Lady Carrie always did. She directly threw a Druil training manual to Abel.
There was also a brown oak seed in the box. It was as thick as a finger. Abel held it in his hand. It didn't look like anything special from the outside, but after scanning it with his power of the Will, he realized that it was filled with life force. It was much more powerful than a normal tree.
Abel put the oak seed back in the box and put the box away. He then picked up the book "Nature and Neutrality – Druil" and opened it. He realized it was written in the high elven language. If you weren't a noble, even a normal elf wouldn't be able to read it.
The reason why the elves could coexist with humans and orcs in this world was because they had a powerful guardian, the Druil. As long as the elves lived in the forest, the Druil would always protect them.
The Druil was also known as the Oak Sage, and the Oak Fruit was known as the Holy Fruit. They were the guardians of nature and neutrality. They controlled the power that nature gave them.
After a long period of research and communication with nature, the druids could merge with the world around them. These skills allowed them to influence and summon the power of nature. They could use this power to attack enemies from a long distance, cause damage in a large area, and even protect themselves from elemental damage.
This power was called the elemental system in the Druil system. The elemental system used the power of nature to control fire, earth, and wind.
The original contract of nature allowed the Druil to summon many beasts and plants from another world. They could summon crows, wolves, vines, and even the spirits of nature. This was the summoning system.
At the same time, they could also change their form. For example, they could turn into a giant bear or a scary wolf. They could use these forms to further increase their power. This was the shapeshifting system.
The Druil could be said to be a very versatile class. They could use many weapons, and their bodies were not as weak as human wizards. At the cost of losing their ability to cast spells, they could transform into powerful beasts to attack at close range. They could also use fire, earth, and wind to attack enemies from a distance.
The first step to becoming a druid was to be recognized by nature. In order to become a druid, the elves would spend a long period of time quietly isolated from the outside world. They would spend time with plants and animals alone in order to find a trace of understanding of nature. When the elves could understand nature, as long as they passed the examination, they would be able to enter the next step of training.
This first step seemed to be the easiest, but it had caused countless elves to stop here. Understanding nature was a feeling that couldn't be described with words, and it was closely related to one's innate talent. Elves who were naturally close to nature would be able to quickly understand nature, while some elves wouldn't even be able to communicate with nature after 10 or 20 years.
Therefore, Druil was still a very rare class compared to the number of elves. Even if they passed the test, it was not guaranteed that they could become a Druil.
The next step was called Spirit Nurturing. To prepare a Druil, the elves had to plant an oak tree and connect with the power of the will as the oak tree grew. When the oak tree grew, it would form a spirit. This spirit that was nurtured by the power of the will of the Druil would enter the Druil's soul and become the foundation of their spellcasting. As the spirit grew, the Druil would also slowly grow.
Every Druil oak tree would not tell any elves where it was during the planting process. The process of nurturing a spirit required an extremely pure power of the will. If there were other powers of the will mixed in, the spirit nurturing process would fail, and the elves would lose the right to become a Druil.
Once the spirit nurturing process ended, the oak tree would continue to grow. Although the oak tree would lose its importance to the Druil after the spirit nurturing process ended, legends said that as long as there was enough time and mana, the oak tree that was connected with the Druil would become a special treant and have a natural contract.
In "Nature and Neutral- Druid", there was no agreement with this saying. Because for countless years, there had never been a Druid's Oak Tree that could become an Ent. Only in ancient legends would there be such a saying.
Nature Nurturing! Abel looked at the "Nature and Neutrality – Druil" book in his hand helplessly. Without a teacher, there was no way for him to know if he had the ability to nurture Nature Nurturing. The book did not mention the conditions required to nurture Nature Nurturing.
Abel used his will to probe the soul of the Druil. He wanted to nurture Nature Nurturing, but he felt a wave of sadness. He searched for the source of the sadness and found the plants that were contaminated when he expelled the poison. Because he was not replaced by the servants during his seclusion, the plants were in a state of near death. The sadness came from them.
This was Nature Nurturing! Abel did not need to think too much to know what this state was. The ability to communicate with plants could not be anything other than Nature Nurturing.
Abel thought about the inside of the Druil's soul that had turned green had been completely transformed by the power of the will of an official Druil. If he could not nurture Nature Nurturing, then the summoning contract would not be able to transfer to him.
Now, it was time to plant the oak tree. There was no place safer than the Dark World. Other than Rogge's camp, the Blood Moor had been cleaned up. There were no signs of life.
Abel turned on the protection circle and barrier circle of his main building. He rode Black Wind and entered Rogge's camp through the portal again.
Since he did not know how long it would take, Abel put a few hunger potions on the stone slab and told Black Wind not to disturb him. Black Wind was an intermediate spiritual beast, and it also had the power of the will. He could not let its power of the will affect the nurturing process.
Walking out of Rogge's camp, Abel stepped on the grass and walked for about 5 miles. He took out an intermediate protection circle and set up a solid defense around him. He then took out a mana gathering circle and set up a mana gathering circle.
According to "Nature and Neutrality – Druil", the more mana there was, the faster the oak tree could grow. During the nurturing process, the spirit nurturing person could not move. They could only stay close to the oak tree and merge their power of the will with it.
Nurturing was very important among the elves. Every spirit nurturing person would prepare a large amount of mana gems to speed up the growth of the oak tree. The whole process was full of contradictions. If the oak tree formed its spirit too quickly, it would mean that the quality of the spirit was not high enough, and it would hinder its future development. However, if the oak tree took too long to form its spirit, it might not have enough mana, and the nurturing process would fail.
Therefore, nurturing a spirit was a matter of luck and resources. Only with enough resources could a true Druil genius not be buried and give them a chance to grow.
For Abel, who had a pile of perfect gems from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag, resources were not a problem. Now, he just needed to see how big the oak tree seed could grow into and what the quality of the spirit would be.
By this point, the mana inside the intermediate protection circle had already turned into mist. Abel dug out a hole that was 20 centimeters deep in the ground and placed the oak fruit inside. Afterward, he filled it up with soil.
He sat on the ground, and a trace of power of the will came out of the Druil soul and wrapped around the oak tree seed. It seemed like the oak tree seed was infected by the power of the will of the will of the Druil soul, and it began to wake up.
The awakened oak tree seed began to crazily absorb the surrounding mana. Above the seed and Abel's head, a small mana whirlpool formed. At the bottom of the whirlpool was the oak tree seed.
Lady Carrie did not treat Abel badly when it came to the oak tree seed. She picked the best oak tree seed from the Grand Ducal Palace's treasury and gave it to Grand Duke Edwina to personally nurture it.
Nurturing was a secret method that was not recorded in "Nature and Neutrality – Druil" to prevent the Druil profession from being taken by other races. Although there were many difficulties in cultivating Druil, there were still many geniuses in this world. There were also many races that met the requirements of cultivating Druil. Nurturing a seed was the best way to keep it a secret.
