The Black Forest.

This was a Black Forest that had yet to be fully developed.

Tall and straight ancient trees stood next to each other, using their luxuriant branches and leaves to cover the forest in a deep and dark darkness.

Very little of the pitch-black soil was exposed, and it was covered with dense fungi and moss. Of course, there were even more thorny shrubs and demonic vines that climbed freely.

No matter the time of day, a faint layer of black gas would linger in the forest, making it look like a magical forest.

And in this strange land that outsiders could not easily set foot on, a simple and crude hut in the forest suddenly appeared. It seemed so out of place with the surrounding environment.

With a creak, the door opened, and a beautiful woman in a green robe with a lithe figure walked out. She held a strange staff decorated with intricate patterns.

She had a slender waist, a tall and graceful figure, a delicate face that would make one's heart beat faster, strange light green hair, and long pointed ears that stretched out from her hair …

Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman turned out to be a forest elf from another world.

She pushed open the wooden door and stood in the small space in front of the hut. Looking around at the dark forest, Melinda's heart was filled with fear and despair.

This hut in the forest was her cell, and this ugly Black Forest was her prison.

Every time it was late at night, all kinds of strange beasts and magical creatures would roar and roar. Even though she was hiding in the hut, Melinda's sharp hearing could still sense the movements of the magical creatures wandering around the hut.

If not for the strange magical plants around the hut blocking the magical creatures, she would have long been torn to shreds and swallowed by those ferocious and terrifying magical creatures.

The magical plants only had a circumference of 50 meters, and her range of activity was limited to this 50 meters. Once she stepped out of the hut, she would have to face all kinds of strange and ferocious magical creatures in the Black Forest.

Melinda really could not imagine that as a forest elf, she would one day be trapped in a forest.

On the first day she was imprisoned here, she tried to communicate with the plants here.

Unfortunately, every ancient tree and every weed in this place gave her a kind of crazed desire for flesh and blood, a kind of twisted consciousness that bordered on madness.

If the Magic Forest of the Grace Plane was a group of vegetarians, then the Dark Forest of the Magus World was a terrifying carnivorous beast. Not to mention the beasts and monsters here, even the flowers and grass were filled with a violent and terrifying aura.

In this Dark Forest that was filled with danger, death, and slaughter, the forest elves, who were known as the children of the forest, found it difficult to move. Even if the terrifying demon did not shackle Melinda, she had nowhere to run. She could only stay in the small house and diligently take care of the strange 'moon well' for the demon.

That's right. Through some unknown means, that terrifying demon had actually planted a moon well in front of the hut, and Melinda's mission was to watch over and hasten the moon well's growth.

Every time night fell and the full moon hung high in the sky, a ray of tranquil and elegant moonlight would shine down from above the hut, shining straight on the strange moon well. Whenever this happened, if Melinda knelt in front of the moon well and prayed, her consciousness would vaguely return to that magical forest filled with a dreamy aura.

The familiar smell of the earth, the familiar fragrance of plants, the fairy flapping her wings and shuttling through the forest, all the ancient trees and plants swaying their bodies, using the melodious and gentle breeze to greet her amiably …

She could even hear the crisp and clear calls of her companions in the distance …

This was the only time of day that Melinda was happiest!

When the moon well was first planted, the strange roots around it were obviously not used to the environment and soil here and began to wither. It was only thanks to Melinda's tireless' Rejuvenation ',' Earth Purification ',' Plant Growth ', and other natural spells that she managed to revive it.

It took half a year for the moon well to barely adapt to the environment here. It once again planted its roots deep into the soil, absorbing a completely different kind of mana from the earth. After another half a year of recovery and nourishment, the moon well that was more than a meter deep and half a meter in diameter finally had a pool of clear, jade-green moon water at the bottom of the well.

Melinda had also sneakily taken a sip.

That one sip almost burned her stomach. If she hadn't treated herself in time, perhaps she would have died from this otherworldly version of the moon water.

Melinda was only a Rank 1 Forest Elf Priestess.

With her knowledge and knowledge, it was obvious that she couldn't decipher the true reason for such a drastic change in the moon well's water.

She was originally worried that the demon would abandon this place because of the changes in the moon well's water. In this way, Melinda would have to return to the terrifying Wizard Tower and be imprisoned in the dark prison. Or, she would be chosen by a certain Wizard and become one of those disgusting Blood Elves or experimental subjects.

There were more than a hundred Forest Elves who were brought here with her by the Wizards, but after such a long time, there weren't many companions who could maintain their pure faith and pure hearts.

If Melinda hadn't been chosen by that terrifying demon because of her identity as a Priestess, she probably wouldn't have escaped the same fate as her companions.

As for that demon … that demon … he was actually a handsome young man filled with a demonic charm, wisdom, and a powerful aura. If one didn't consider their identities and factions, he was actually a partner that could make one's heart palpitate.

It was a pity that their identities, positions, factions, and beliefs were completely different. This filled Melinda's heart with regret and sorrow!

It was night time again, and the full moon was high up in the sky. That demon would be here soon …

Melinda panicked and quickly walked to a corner of the empty space in front of the house, where a strange wooden well appeared.

The mouth of the well was made of wood, and it was about half a meter above the ground. Green vines and flower branches wrapped around the edge of the well. They didn't grow independently, but were embedded in the wood texture of the well. They were slightly protruding, vivid and moving.

As if sensing Melinda's approach, the vines and flower branches on the walls of the well became active. A few budding flowers also opened their pistils, and a sweet fragrance filled the air. For the first time, the quiet and dark forest became warm and peaceful.

Melinda knelt in front of the well, holding the Nature Staff in one hand and caressing the edge of the well with the other. She murmured, repeatedly chanting poems and prayers praising the Moon God.

She didn't know when, but a ray of elegant moonlight shone down from the treetops and landed on the mouth of the well.

Following Melinda's pious prayers and incessant praises, a strange and mysterious force rippled in the well, and beautiful rays of light began to flow on the walls of the well. If one looked closely, they would see that these beautiful rays of light were actually made up of tiny and strange runes.

A dense wave of Nature Energy spread out, part of which stimulated the roots of the well to continue growing, part of which dispersed into the soil and air, changing the environment around it. Another part gathered in the well, condensing into drops of green liquid filled with a strange magical aura …

However, just as Melinda entered a special state of meditation and illusion, a huge flame shot into the sky from an empty space in the corner of the small house.

The flame disappeared as quickly as it came.

The explosion of the flames did not harm the plants around it, nor did it disturb the Elven Priestess who was still in a daze.

After the flames subsided, Grimm's tall and handsome figure was revealed.

The cabin in the woods was one of his witchcraft experiments. It was used to verify the magic of the Moon Well, an elven magic facility.

From the current results, this was the only place that had succeeded. The other two had all failed.

Of course, there were many reasons for the failures. The most suspicious one was Melinda's identity as a priestess.

After all, she was the only Elven Priestess that had been captured. The other two places were taken care of by elven wizards and druids. They had similar nature spells as Melinda, but regrettably, the Moon Well was withering bit by bit.

Of course, Melinda's experiment could not be considered a complete success!

After Grimm's investigation, he discovered that the Moon Water here and the Moon Water from Faen Plane were completely different in nature.

According to the A.I. Chip's analysis, the mana density of the new Moon Water was 230% higher than that of Faen Plane.

This meant that any Magus who consumed the Moon Water would have their elemental balance disturbed by the overly dense mana, causing their mana to go berserk.

Not only was the Moon Water not a life-saving holy water, it had instead become a lethal poison!

However, according to the special properties of the Moon Water, if it was refined and dried with a special technique, it could produce a strange type of magic essence.

This magic essence was a type of magic essence in the form of powder. It was a very precious magic ingredient in high-ranked alchemy, and it could bestow the special property of automatically recovering mana in high-ranked magic items.

In the high-ranked markets of the Magus World, every gram of magic essence could be sold for a sky-high price of 700 magic crystals.

According to the production rate of the Moon Water, 50 grams of magic essence could be refined every month.

Of course, the A.I. Chip's analysis and data analysis provided Grimm with a new train of thought.

If he could improve the process and refine the magic essence powder into a powerful magic essence, it could even allow normal people without any talent in magic to possess mana and walk the path of a Magus.
