"My friend, do you feel my unease?"
The Great Druid's sudden words baffled Baiyi, and the expression on his visor changed to one of bewilderment. 'I'm not a bosom buddy, so why would I know your unease? You're no different from a tree right now, so what's there to be uneasy about? Even if the Ultimate Infection is about to disappear, it won't affect you, right? '
The Druid in the shape of a bush noticed Baiyi's confusion and continued, "Go and feel it. Use your Heart of Nature to feel it …"
Baiyi was speechless. 'Why is it so tiring to communicate with this guy?' It was as if the two of them were not even in the same dimension.
Baiyi had no choice but to admit that his understanding of the Gnosis was not good enough, and he did not know how to use it. "So, please explain yourself," the Great Druid said, shaking his head.
The shrub twisted and shook its head regretfully. He then continued, "It seems like the Heart of Nature is not just a gift after all …" The Druid sighed regretfully as he shifted his consciousness to a giant mushroom at the foot of the tree. He then controlled the mushroom to jump onto the shrub from before.
'Why did you suddenly transform when we were having a nice chat? Do all druids have a habit of transforming? Thank goodness they only changed between animal and human form and did not suddenly turn into a cute girl … Baiyi grumbled speechlessly.
The druid, who had turned into a mushroom, began to explain to Baiyi why he was feeling uneasy. His words were incoherent, and his logic was disjointed. Perhaps it was because he had been a plant for too long that his brain had been damaged. In the end, Baiyi managed to understand what the Great Druid was trying to say.
In other words, the Eternal Tree Sea was the largest forest in the Fairy Empire. It covered a vast area, and the two of them were only in a small part of it.
It was peaceful and quiet, the cradle of the fairy civilization. To the fairies, the Eternal Tree Sea was like a mother.
However, for some unknown reason, the Eternal Tree Sea was no longer peaceful. Instead, it was restless, as if something terrible was threatening its very existence. The Great Druid sensed this through his Gnosis. It was as if every tree in the Eternal Tree Sea was afraid of something. Together, they formed the sound of the sea of trees.
Baiyi did not really understand the details, but he knew that something bad was about to happen.
"Erm … Let me ask you something. Are there any festivals happening in the near future?" Baiyi asked.
The mushroom shook his head, not really understanding why he would ask about this.
Baiyi let out a sigh of relief. "Then it shouldn't be related to Sylvia, right?"
The mushroom still shook his head. "The signs had appeared a long time ago, not recently."
The reason why he suddenly changed to this form was probably because it was easier to shake his head?
"And then? Are there any more clues about this ominous sign? "Baiyi asked.
Mushroom Druid continued to shake his head. "Nature isn't like humans. Sometimes it's very sharp, but sometimes it's very slow. I've spent a long time looking for the source of the signs, but I've found nothing. This … Maybe it's some kind of premonition?"
Could a premonition be used as an excuse? Why didn't I see that Druids had the potential to be charlatans? Baiyi thought to himself, but he still asked, "Then, why did you tell me about this? Is there something you need my help with? "
"Yes. I want you to help me find out what's going on and find the source of the panic in the forest," Mushroom Druid replied. The Mushroom Druid said, "This is to save this great forest, and also to save your wife's hometown …"
Baiyi was stunned. He did not know what to say. 'I'm here to find the Caudillo Butterfly Bow, and I'm also here to recruit two fairies. I'm just a Voidwalker. Why would I need to save your forest? Why don't you ask someone else for help? '
The mushroom seemed to have sensed Baiyi's thoughts, for it continued, "You possess the Gnosis of Nature, and you possess a sharp mind. You are the most suitable candidate I could find. Please forgive my abruptness and rudeness, but I could not think of a better candidate than you, and this is a responsibility you should bear."
"Forgive me for being blunt." Baiyi shook his head. "I've said it before. I don't know as much about the Gnosis of Nature as you do. I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility, but I'm just not suitable. I don't even know enough about this forest. Maybe you should find another druid? Or one of those powerful archers? "
Baiyi had no interest in such a ridiculous Side Quest, and the druid was so stingy that he did not even want to give him a reward. A Caudillo Butterfly Bow as a reward was not out of the question, was it? However, all he got was a bunch of benevolence and morality, and Baiyi did not want to waste his time on it.
He was a busy man, and he did not have the time to protect nature. If something bad happened, he would just have to return to the forest, and he would not have to teach archery again.
With that in mind, Baiyi had no interest in listening to the druid's words. He stood up and said, "Please forgive me for my refusal." With that, he turned to leave.
The Great Druid did not try to persuade Baiyi to stay, nor did he attack him. Instead, he watched Baiyi's retreating back and said calmly, "You will come back. Your Gnosis of Nature will not lie to me. It has never faded."
The druid had turned into a charlatan in Baiyi's eyes. He shook his head and walked away.
Soon, he met the students and the elves on the outskirts of this small forest. They seemed to be gathered together and chatting about something. It was a harmonious scene, and the Fairy Walker seemed to have blended in with the students in a short amount of time.
'What's up with that?' Baiyi sighed and walked over.
When the Fairy Walker saw him, she quickly stood up and walked over. "It's over? What did the Tree Gramps say to you? "
"Um … Something weird …" Baiyi shrugged. "Let's talk on the way, shall we? We still have to go back to the village, right? "
On the way, Baiyi told the Fairy Walker about the strange mission that the Great Druid had given him, and frankly admitted that he had rejected the mission.
The Fairy Walker listened quietly, and when Baiyi finished, she said, "Actually, the Tree Gramps was right about one thing."
"Huh?"
