Chapter 194: Element Spirit!

"My lord, is that the island? But it's so small, not a single tree, just reefs. Will there really be anything good there?"

After more than ten minutes of sailing, everyone on deck saw the small island the lookout had mentioned.

After Knight Mi Gen and the others observed with a monocular telescope, they couldn't help but doubt whether there would be anything good on that island.

After all, the island's area wasn't even as big as the castle's forecourt, its surface was bare, with no vegetation in sight.

"Mi Gen, are you doubting Zuiyue's ability!" Gervas knew clearly from the system information what was on this bare island; otherwise, he would truly think the same as Mi Gen.

"Uh, my lord, your subordinate would definitely not dare to doubt Zuiyue's ability; it's just that I feel we might have found the wrong island!"

Nowadays, Zuiyue is already a symbol like a divine messenger in Storm Domain.

Its 'reputation' has been tested; Mi Gen absolutely dares not question it.

"Whether we found the wrong one, we'll know after landing on the island!"

Soon, the sea ship finally approached this bare little island.

Because the island was surrounded by towering reef cliffs, like stone walls in the sea, ordinary people could never think of climbing them.

Thus, Gervas decided that he and Lei Meng would go ashore.

Riding a small boat to within three meters of the island, Gervas and Lei Meng simultaneously cultivated their fighting qi, aimed at the reef on the shore, and leaped forward fiercely.

In the next moment, the two landed steadily on the reef.

Without delay, the two began to climb the more than ten-meter-high reef sea cliff.

Another few dozen seconds later, the two successfully reached the top of the reef sea cliff.

Immediately, the two looked toward the center of this reef island.

And in an instant, Lei Meng's figure trembled violently, and he immediately widened his eyes.

"Knight Commander Lei Meng, what's wrong? What good thing did you see?"

Mi Gen and the others immediately noticed Lei Meng's reaction.

In the past, many treasures had appeared, but none could make Knight Commander Lei Meng so surprised and lose his composure.

Everyone's hearts trembled immediately, realizing there was truly something extraordinary on the island.

Woken by Mi Gen, Lei Meng immediately said with a moved expression: "It's an Element Spirit! An elemental creature that only the Elf race possessed in the past! In our human race, it's worth at least a thousand gold coins! Congratulations, my lord Gervas!"

"Element Spirit? Oh my! A thousand gold coins? We're going to get rich this time!"

Although Mi Gen and the others didn't know what an Element Spirit was, they were very clear on what a thousand gold coins meant.

"Let's go, this Element Spirit doesn't seem to be in good condition; let's go take a look!"

Gervas also pretended to be surprised, then quickly led the way toward the bottom of the volcano crater.

At this moment, the Element Spirit was in the deep pit right in the center of the volcano crater.

After spending a little time climbing down to the bottom again, they quickly approached the Element Spirit.

As they got closer, more details of the Element Spirit came into full view.

No facial features, simply a green energy source.

And this appearance was much like the little spirits in the single-player Warcraft from his previous life.

Of course, because the Element Spirit was now on its last breath, its light orb was extremely faint.

Sensing Gervas and the others approaching, the light orb reacted, trembled slightly, its light brightened a bit, and then it shifted backward by several dozen centimeters.

From this, it could be seen that the Element Spirit was truly exhausted, not even having the strength to flee.

"Little one, don't be afraid, we are here to save you, to take you to a place with trees!"

Gervas wasn't sure if this little one could understand his words, but if he could take it back using a gentle method, that would be best.

Because this elemental creature seemed unable to sign a contract.

Thus, unless one prepared to keep it in captivity forever, it was best not to capture it by force.

Perhaps it felt Gervas's goodwill, perhaps because it was already on its last breath, or perhaps it also wanted to leave this island.

The Element Spirit hesitated for a moment, then finally slowly approached Gervas.

Finally, the light orb touched Gervas's palm.

Instantly, a fantastical mental wave came into Gervas's mind.

'Hungry... hungry... hungry...'

Good heavens! Gervas exclaimed, good heavens.

The Element Spirit could actually transmit its thoughts just like a unicorn.

Of course, the Element Spirit's thoughts were simpler, having only the single idea of hunger.

"Come on, little one! You'll get something delicious very soon!"

There was no situation where it couldn't be picked up.

The Element Spirit was actually considered a physical entity, just much lighter.

His hand passed through the light lines on the side that were like fluff.

Holding the basketball-sized elemental light orb in his hand, it was like a balloon, light and soft.

"This... this is the Element Spirit? Oh my, it's truly too magical!"

"Yes, we have never seen such a strange creature before; how does it eat? Its whole body is transparent, and there's actually nothing inside its belly!"

Back on the ship, Mi Gen and the others saw the Element Spirit and were all amazed.

From its high value, one could know that Element Spirits were rare, an existence most people would hardly ever see in a lifetime.

Returning to Storm Domain at the fastest sailing speed, they then galloped on horseback to the castle.

Since Gervas now possessed both, he would definitely combine the two.

"My lord! Is there... is there really an Element Spirit?"

Just as he raced back like lightning to the foot of the castle's gentle slope, Agriculture Minister Milson had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that wisp of green light bound in Gervas's arms with a cloth pouch, Druid Milson trembled with excitement.

As a Druid, he knew best the preciousness and function of elemental spirits.

"Milson, I said news of Chasing Moon would never have accidents; however, this elemental spirit seems to have been starved for a long time, so, is the War Tree ready?"

"My lord, the War Tree has already been transplanted into your back garden!"

Hearing this, Milson quickly led the way ahead.

It turned out that before setting out, Gervas had issued an order for Agriculture Minister Milson to dig up and transplant the War Tree to the castle.

Under normal circumstances, doing this would definitely not work; transplanting the War Tree before it reaches adulthood would have a high probability of causing it to wither.

And the younger the tree's age, the greater the probability of withering.

Thus, before the elemental spirit appeared, Gervas had not even thought of transplanting it.

But now, with the elemental spirit, it is different.

Because the elemental spirit can guarantee the War Tree's healthy growth one hundred percent, there is no need for further hesitation.

"Go, little one!"

Arriving at the backyard, the War Tree, which had already grown to over one meter tall, was placed right in the center of the back garden.

Gervas released the little one.

Afterwards, the elemental spirit seemed to sense something; although there were still a few landscape trees around, it happily identified the War Tree and quickly moved closer.

Arriving right in front of the War Tree, the elemental spirit immediately began to rotate around the War Tree without hesitation.

During the rotation, a dreamlike scene appeared.

Streams of green light points, overflowing with elements, sprinkled down into the surrounding half-air.

Even in the daytime, those light points were dazzling and brilliant.

It was as if Gervas's back garden had gained a water mist fountain with light and shadow effects.

Of course, the dreamlike effect is secondary; the greatest benefit the elemental spirit brings to surrounding creatures and plants is elemental power!

"Such rich elemental power!" Knight Commander Lei Meng's eyes lit up.

He sensed that the elements in the back garden were rapidly increasing at this moment, at least more than double what they were before.

"Knight Commander Lei Meng, the function of the elemental spirit is to gather elemental power; from now on, within a one-li range of the castle, elemental power can be enhanced by double at any time!"

"Thus, besides allowing you to cultivate faster, all plants and creatures can grow better!!" Milson explained at the appropriate moment.

Knight Commander Lei Meng was somewhat aware of this, but Knight Mi Gen and the others were hearing it for the first time.

Immediately, their mouths gaped wide. "Heavens, then won't our speed of breaking through to become Bronze Knights be even faster?"
