Chapter 147: Unexpected joy

"Long time no see, Wayne."

Kaen's complexion was much better than before. It seems that living in the forest is very good for Druids. His originally thin face became much rounder.

Seeing Wayne, the old man was very happy, enthusiastically invited Wayne and Geralt to sit on a few tree stumps, and took out a pot of oak fruit wine that he said he brewed himself to treat the two.

Although the side dishes were only some fruits and wild vegetables.

But don't say, the oak fruit wine tastes quite good. In addition to a unique clear and bitter taste of oak fruit, after drinking it, there is a faint warmth that melts on the taste buds, making people feel calm.

After drinking a glass of oak fruit wine, Wayne asked habitually:

"Long time no see, Elder Kaen. How have you been this year?"

Facing Wayne's greeting, the old man touched his snow-white beard and patted the old, dirty linen robe on his body, which was stained with various leaves, mud, animal feces, and unknown dirt. He looked self-satisfied and said: "I have been very good. The natural atmosphere in Wyzima forest is quite strong, which is very suitable for us Druids to live."

"Now, my Druid Circle has been established, and the Sacred Oak has taken root, sprouted, and grown sturdily."

"I just need to guard it quietly. One day, this sacred tree will protect this forest and make this place a home of peace and tranquility for nature."

Although the old man was smiling, his body seemed to have grown fat, but in Wayne's view, the life of this Druid Elder was obviously quite bitter.

The so-called Druid Circle and Sacred Oak now only have one huge oak tree that is still lush. Under the cover of the oak leaves, some wild animals live there, and all kinds of flowers and plants bloom quite lushly. All living things live in harmony and do not kill each other because of the food chain relationship between them.

However, the old man doesn't even have a wooden house now. He only uses some straw and animal skins to lay out a sleeping bed in a dirt pit next to the oak tree.

And not far from the bed, there is a simple bonfire that has been used for cooking for a long time. Several iron pots made of scrap metal are hung there. There is not even a spatula, only a burnt piece of wood as a spoon. I don't know what is cooking in the pot.

This is not so much a life close to nature as it is a wild life.

However, everyone has their own life, and it is best for others not to interfere. After Wayne chatted with Elder Kaen for a few words, he pulled the topic to the underwater Drowner city battle tomorrow and tentatively asked about the Druid Elder's thoughts.

Unfortunately, after listening to Wayne's inquiry, the old man shook his head and said:

"Sorry, Wayne."

"In your eyes, these Drowners who believe in evil gods are evil existences, but in our Druid doctrine, everything is the law of nature. Balance exists between all things. We cannot interfere too much."

"Although I bless you in my heart to achieve victory, if you want me to participate in this battle, it violates our way of survival."

Well, Wayne had heard about the Druid doctrine for a long time, and he only tried to invite Elder Kaen to participate in the battle.

Since people didn't agree, he didn't want to say anything more, but put forward a few other requests.

"Elder, I want to buy some potions that can treat injuries in an emergency. You know, our witcher potions contain highly toxic substances and cannot heal the wounds of ordinary people."

"Of course, if you can pass on the production method of this healing potion to me, that would be even better."

Regarding this request of Wayne, Kaen was not stingy at all, and immediately took out more than a dozen healing potions he made and gave them to Wayne. However, regarding the formula, he shook his head regretfully and said:

"The formula for these potions is quite simple, but to make them, you must use the Druid's magic power, so even if I tell you the formula, you cannot manufacture them."

It was another quite regrettable thing. Although Wayne was a bit disappointed, he soon put forward the third request.

Elder Kaen was stunned after listening, and asked back: "You mean, you want that kind of potion that improves the female's persistence when men and women are together?" Wayne nodded awkwardly.

Mainly because of Triss's magic-sensitive constitution, every time he hadn't finished, the sorceress had already fallen asleep. This situation is very helpless.

He suddenly thought that Triss was also allergic to potions, and even couldn't drink potions containing magic power, otherwise she would vomit, so he added:

"Yes, Elder, it is best to use the pure medicinal properties to strengthen the physical strength of the user, the kind that does not carry magic power."

Regarding this request of Wayne, the Druid Elder was also in a dilemma. He scratched his hair, which was like a honeycomb, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "I seem to remember that an ancient book recorded such a potion, using the power of natural harmony to slowly instill the medicinal effect into the bodies of both men and women."

"If taken for a long time, not only can both parties become more persistent in this matter, but it can also increase their chance of conception and give birth to strong children."

After hearing this answer, Wayne was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some surprise: "Elder, is this potion only effective for humans, or is it effective for non-human races?" Wayne nodded awkwardly.

"Is the effect very obvious?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"It should be very effective, and it is aimed at all races, because this is a precious note left by my teacher. It is the research result that he has carefully studied for many years."

"Unfortunately, before he could publish it, my teacher unfortunately passed away due to an accident."

Kaen shook his head, looking quite regretful, but Wayne opposite him was caught in a huge surprise, almost throwing the previous two requests behind his head.

Increasing the fertility rate, perhaps for humans and some other races, not only has no benefits, but is a disaster, but as a half-elf, he knows very well that if this potion is really easy to use, for the Elf race, it is no less than a divine artifact, a treasure that changes the fate of the race.

And I thought of another question. Druids are good at the way of nature, medicine, pharmacy, breeding, planting, and research in various life disciplines. They are simply high-tech agricultural talents.

If a group of Druids can be recruited to work for him, not only are they quite good combat power, but they can also be competent for quite a lot of work, which is simply a steady profit without loss.

So he said: "Elder Kaen, regarding the potion that increases the fertility rate, please be sure to spend more effort. This is very important to me."

"I see that you have established the Druid Circle, and you are the only one here. Many things must be too busy."

"If you need it, I can help you recruit some apprentices, not only to let your Druid way be carried forward here, but also to let you have more helpers and better develop your Druid Circle."

The Druid Elder was still quite kind-hearted. Seeing Wayne's solemn entrustment, he immediately stated that he would bring back the research materials of his teacher as soon as possible and give the formula of the potion that increases the fertility rate to him.

And regarding the recruitment of Druid apprentices, Kaen was also very interested. He was locked up by the Wild Dog Gang for three years, and the establishment of the Druid Circle was also delayed for three years. Now that he has finally settled down, he naturally thinks of passing on his natural way.

If he can have more apprentices to help him, maybe he can build this Druid Circle into a strong Druid organization. This is the dream of all Druids.

This afternoon, Wayne chatted a lot with the Druid Elder. Not only did he ask him for the complete version of Taming, but he also gained a lot of supplements from him regarding herbal knowledge, pharmacy knowledge, and so on.

Of course, Wayne is not a man who only asks for and does not pay. He promised to help Kaen strengthen his Druid Circle. Although he also had the idea of using this elder to cultivate his own Druids, this was a win-win decision and quickly gained Kaen's approval.

After Wayne brought back a large pile of potions he had "borrowed" from the Dru

The formal underwater city battle had already begun.
