Chapter 179: Silver-eyed Eithne's prophecy

The scenery of Duén Canell was very beautiful.

Perhaps because the oak plant symbolizes nobility, holiness, and tenacity in the magic world, and is a symbol of the power of natural harmony, in this capital of the Dryads, oak trees of various sizes grew everywhere.

And the name Duén Canell means "Oak Land" in the Ancient Tongue.

When Geralt was blindfolded and brought to the Dryads' home, what came into view was beautiful scenery that attracted the eyes everywhere. Beautiful Dryads of all ages, all body types, and all personalities showed their beauty to him without reservation. Because men were rare, almost all Dryads cast curious eyes on him.

Especially those little Dryads who had never seen the world, when Geralt's gaze touched their ignorant and pure eyes, these cute little guys would immediately shrink their bodies like fawns and shyly avoid his sight.

This wonderful feeling made Geralt feel as if he had fallen into the legendary Daughter Country.

It even made him forget to evaluate the peculiar houses transformed from large vines by Dryad magic, and also forgot to evaluate the Brokilon water full of magic flowing everywhere here.

The current location of Duén Canell was in the depths of the primeval forest, where huge primeval trees blocked out the sky and the sun everywhere. Because the sunlight was blocked, the light in the entire Dryad home was not particularly bright.

However, for this situation, the Dryads were not without methods. Although these special creatures would not use fire in the forest, they raised a kind of peculiar large firefly, and these huge fireflies, like small light bulbs, flew in every corner of Duén Canell, using the peculiar biological light from their tails to illuminate the entire Dryad home as if it were a scene from another world.

Under the care of several Dryads, Geralt was soon brought to a vine house with a relatively large shape. Looking at this house protected by several Dryad guards who were as agile as leopards, Geralt guessed that this was the residence of the legendary Shujing nvwang, the Silver-eyed Eithne.

Everyone crowded him to the door. After about dozens of seconds, when the Dryads beside Geralt bowed to the tall figure walking out of the wooden house, he knew that the main person had come.

This legendary Shujing nvwang had a very tall figure, nearly two meters tall. Her body was not plump, but her legs were straight and slender, and her skin was as white as jade, as if emitting fluorescence.

She was probably the only one among the Dryads who wore clothes. Thin white silk covered her chest and lower body, covering her private parts. A head of silver long hair was draped over her shoulders. Her face was dignified and beautiful, but her temperament was quite serious. Just looking at her appearance, it was impossible to distinguish her specific age.

After seeing Geralt, the Shujing nvwang's face almost had no change in expression, just looked Geralt over with her eyes, her gaze stayed on his amber pupils and pointed ears for one or two seconds more, and then asked with a quite ethereal voice:

"Witcher Geralt, were you an elf before?"

"Yes, Ms. Eithne."

Geralt nodded, not emphasizing his half-elf identity. Most elves in this world were mixed-race. Even if they were half-elves, as long as their appearance met the characteristics of elves, they would all be classified to the elf side.

Queen Eithne nodded, did not make much small talk with Geralt, and went straight to the point.

"I heard that you want to take our witcher commission. It just so happens that there are several powerful monsters in the forest that have been entrenched in the forest, often attacking the Dryads they see for no reason. Over the years, many Dryads have died at the hands of these monsters."

"But because of their special habits and body structures, our bows and arrows are difficult to cause substantial damage to them."

"If you can help us get rid of these monsters, you will receive generous rewards."

"Although we Dryads do not use gold coins and jewelry, these spoils of war captured from the enemy's corpses over thousands of years are not few."

With the Shujing nvwang's voice falling, a system prompt sound without any emotion came to Geralt's ears.

Ding! Triggered task 【Enemies in the Dryad Forest】 Master-level, do you accept? It's actually Master-level?

Geralt was slightly surprised, but soon figured it out. Indeed, the strength of Dryads in the forest should not be underestimated. The enemies that could make them feel a headache were indeed worthy of the Master-level.

This was not bad. Being able to get a Master-level task before participating in the betrothal banquet task could be considered an unexpected gain.

Geralt bowed slightly to the Shujing nvwang, indicating that he was willing to take this task, but at the same time, he also put forward his own request.

"I am willing to take this commission, Ms. Eithne."

"However, for us witchers to deal with monsters, the most important thing is accurate information and preparation before the battle. For the information about these monsters, we need to know as detailed as possible."

"This is my first time coming to your forest, and I don't know much about many things here."

"So I hope you can send someone who knows quite a lot about various information in the forest to act with me." "I don't need her to participate in the battle, just tell me the correct information at the right time."

Although Shujing nvwang Eithne had not left this forest for a long time, this lady was a very famous scholar and powerful sorceress in the entire magic circle, famous for her erudition and wisdom, and also knew a lot about the information of witchers.

Facing Geralt's request, this lady performed quite reasonably. She only thought for one or two seconds before giving orders to the Dryads beside Geralt.

"Marika, Aigles, you two will assist the witcher Geralt to complete this commission."

"During the execution of the commission, you will stay with him and try to satisfy his requirements."

After saying that, the Shujing nvwang said to Geralt: "Witcher Geralt, this commission has no deadline. You can go to deal with those monsters after making full preparations."

"During this period, you can temporarily live in this forest, and no Dryads will attack you. If you are injured, Marika and Aigles will bring you back to Duén Canell, and Brokilon water can effectively treat your wounds."

"If you can complete this commission, then you will become our friend, and this forest will no longer resist your visit."

………………

After the two Dryads took Geralt away from Duén Canell, Shujing nvwang Eithne returned to her room.

But she didn't pass the time by reading books as usual, but thoughtfully walked into a room filled with various strange magic items with symbolic meanings.

In the center of this room full of mysterious meanings, there was a huge stone basin filled with high-concentration Brokilon water, and above this magic water, a huge magic crystal ball floated.

From the moment she saw Geralt, the powerful magic perception of the Shujing nvwang made her realize the unusualness of this witcher.

And as one of the most proficient sorceresses in prophecy spells in the entire Northern Continent, whenever she encountered something she had doubts about, she would come to this room specifically used for prophecy to find the answer to the question.

After coming to this room, the Shujing nvwang walked straight to the huge magic crystal ball, chanting obscure spells in the Ancient Tongue while placing her hands on the huge crystal ball.

As the surging magic power of this Shujing nvwang poured into the magic crystal ball, gradually, countless fleeting images kept flashing in the crystal ball.

And as time passed, the Shujing nvwang's expression began to change slowly, from doubt to shock, from shock to confusion, and from confusion to joy.

Until this powerful sorceress let go of the magic crystal ball with both hands, she said to herself with a complex and indescribable expression: "The prophecy has changed, the future has changed!"

"I didn't expect that this witcher Geralt actually carries the Elder Blood and is the legendary Child of Destiny."

"Although I cannot see through the fog of destiny shrouded on him, there is no doubt that this man's choice determines the future destiny of the world."

"Elves, Dryads, dwarves, halflings, the tragic future destiny of us non-human races seems to have changed because of this man."

"Perhaps, I should also do something."

After the Shujing nvwang muttered to herself, she got up and walked to a misty water pool behind the house. In that water pool, there was Brokilon water full of magic everywhere.

The prophecy spell just now seemed to be light and breezy, but in fact, the magic power consumed was unimaginable for ordinary spellcasters. Even the powerful Shujing nvwang had a great consumption.

Coming to this water pool full of magic, the Shujing nvwang took off her clothes and slowly entered the pool water.

While she was recovering the magic power in her body through special methods, she was thinking.

As the leader of the Dryads' camp, how should she face Geralt, this Child of Destiny, next?
