Chapter 580: Writing a Letter and the Child of Nature

【Naulin's obedience to you +8, current obedience: 74】

【Obedience broke through to 74, unlocking the shared skill with Naulin】

【Begin random extraction.】

【Extraction successful】

【Shared Skill: Causal Inverse Scale】

【Details: Transfer one fatal damage taken by oneself to a specific living creature within line of sight.】

Another life-saving level powerful skill.

Naulin is indeed the Cursed Dragon; all skills extracted are extremely powerful.

Seeing she needed time to digest the dragon body materials.

Rod did not continue to disturb her; after a brief chat, he left the Sha Liu District.

Then he found the ghoul Pan Ni training troops in the Twilight Hills.

As a necromancer who grows stronger with every battle and stronger with more corpses.

After the battle at Coral Bay, her necromantic forces reached a peak of 2,000.

Among them, there were quite a few elite Tier-7 necromantic warriors, about ten of them.

They were all watered-down Tier-7s.

But for the forest side, high-end combat power was not lacking anyway.

Also because the necromantic legion's numbers increased greatly.

Even with the amplification of 【Negative Energy Constitution】, Pan Ni showed some lack of control.

But after all, they are necromantic things; without special maintenance, they rot easily, returning negative energy directly to the earth.

So in recent times, she has been training troops on the Twilight Hills.

As for the reason Rod found her.

The information about the Yige Sect obtained from the inside master Seamus was quite unsettling.

Even though it was far in the far west, Rod felt it necessary to understand it clearly.

He planned to write a letter to the eldest daughter of the Argyle family, Isabella, to ask, and also to check on Daphne, with whom he had not communicated for a long time.

Since it was sending a letter, writing was unavoidable.

Rod knew well that his dog-scratch handwriting would not hold up to scrutiny.

So he could only find Pan Ni.

Her handwriting was the best in the forest, second only to Lady Kali.

"'Dear Young Lady Isabella'? Who is this to Master?"

"A not very familiar friend? Not even a friend, just someone from a well-known family."

"Then 'Dear' cannot be used; it is too ambiguous. How about 'Respected'?"

Pan Ni suggested.

The two were in an abandoned small stone house for storing firewood on the Twilight Hills; there happened to be a table inside, so they simply started writing there.

But because there were no stools.

Pan Ni could only stand like this, leaning over the table to write.

That is, her buttocks sticking up.

It was somewhat indecent.

Seen from the side.

A pair of figure-eights hung in mid-air, swaying back and forth as she wrote.

They almost broke through the collar of her loose mage robe.

Rod raised an eyebrow and walked behind her.

"You polish the wording; I will just state the meaning directly."

"Yes, Master."

Pan Ni was completely unaware.

The quill tapped her cheek, as if thinking about how to start writing.

As soon as she wrote 'Respected', she felt the back of her mage robe lifted up.

A hot hand skilled in judo covered it.

Her whole body stiffened.

She turned back, shy and troubled: "Um... Master, how about I finish writing first? Writing like this doesn't look good."

"This is also a test for you, Pan Ni."

Pan Ni bit her pearl-white teeth, with a hint of a wife's coquettish innocence: "Alright..."

Rod spoke the words the letter needed to say.

His mental energy was still sufficient.

He simply started thinking about who should receive the points for the shared skill 【Ability Sublimation】 from the Witch Cat.

These points were not as simple as directly adding +1 to the skill.

Instead, they sublimated the skill itself.

After thinking for a while.

In the two months since the battle at Coral Bay.

He did not stop forging the War Souls; he directly maxed out the ten available War Soul slots.

Beyond the original Bronze Dragon, Starfield Ambusher, Fungal Rot Warrior Gorgon, and Hundred-Eyed Oni,

he additionally added Large Storm Elementals, Shadow-Steel Golems, Multi-Armed Giants, and others.

But to be honest,

not many useful skills were generated.

This made Rod realize that, for him at present, War Souls had reached a stage where quality mattered more than quantity.

A single high-quality Psionic War Soul could even surpass the sum of all others.

Even with the Sublimation skill, lacking good War Souls to forge rendered it of little use.

"Hmm, in that case, let it be 【Tree's Blessing】."

This skill provided Rod, whose Spirit accumulation was still low in the early stages, with an incredibly fast recovery speed.

Moreover,

it spawned 【Spiritual Growth】.

It also allowed 【Dragon Scale Technique】 to manifest different skills within the range of different trees.

Even the 【Spatial Tree Form】 of the Emerald Tree belonged to the derivative skills of 【Tree's Blessing】.

Rod did not hesitate.

He clicked the plus sign behind 【Tree's Blessing】.

On the panel,

the characters for Tree's Blessing began to blur.

Moments later, Tree's Blessing transformed into 【Child of Nature】.

The details of the previous Tree's Blessing remained unchanged.

Instead, three new lines were added.

"Sprout State": Accelerates the iterative evolution of plants within a ten-kilometer radius, nurturing Spirit-bearing species.

"Symbiotic State": Merges one's own Spirit Veins with the entire forest, sharing the perception of all trees.

"Origin-Seeking State": Traces the memories of ancient trees to acquire lost natural secret arts.

These are three natural phases.

Rod could switch between them at will.

At the same time, 【Spiritual Growth】 also extended two new skills.

"Tree-Script Enlightenment": Carve tree scripts onto a surface to imbue it with specific attributes.

"Spiritual Symbiosis": Can actively share a skill or buff.

Additionally,

a skill named 【Thousand-Tree Domain】 appeared on the panel.

He took a look.

It was roughly the matrix effect activated by combining different trees.

Rod nodded.

He was very satisfied with this Sublimation.

These two letters took a long time to write.

Several sheets of paper were ruined in the process.

By the time Rod was finally satisfied, Pan Ni's legs went weak; she could no longer stand, leaning against the table and nearly falling.

She squatted on the ground, her feet trembling violently.

With one arm, she clutched Rod's waist, refusing to let go for dear life.

With no other choice,

Rod could only take her back to rest inside the Henry Farm.

He himself went to Shi Ying Town, asking the old gentleman Humbert to introduce a Hobbit to help deliver the letters.

Humbert was very efficient.

He immediately dispatched a knight to find someone.

In the afternoon,

Rod was informed that the hired Hobbit messenger had arrived.

This Hobbit did not merely come to collect letters but also to deliver one to Rod.

One of them was, surprisingly, a warning brought from Stormwind City.
