Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Thorne came to the Forest of Tranquility. He walked alone along the path between the weeds and gradually entered the depths of the woods.

Thorne slowed his gallop when he saw a wood ahead that seemed out of place with the entire forest.

Looking at the old oak trees, as well as a large number of playful, running, carefree small animals and birds around, Thorne knew that he had come to the vicinity of the Merikai Temple.

Then he didn't waste time, reached out and stroked a little squirrel that jumped on his shoulders and was about to hand him berries, watching the little squirrel disappear on the branches, and then facing the cool breeze, sniffing the forest With a natural breath, he walked into the interior of the temple.

When he was about to arrive at the temple, Thorne looked at the oak trees that were vaguely surrounding the bushes, and after a little thought, he walked directly towards the center of the temple.

"Gluck cluck..."

At this time, when Thorne's walking figure was passing by an oak tree beside him, the branches and leaves of the oak tree swayed gently, making a silver bell-like laughter.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In this crisp and beautiful laughter, countless wild vines surging on both sides of the path, all shrouded in the figure of Thorne.

Looking at the dense vines all wrapping around him, Thorne smiled slightly, without any resistance, but stood quietly, looked at a tall oak tree two meters away, and replied: "Put it away, I Just stand here and don't go."

"Thorn, it's been a long time, you're finally willing to come back." A clear and pleasant voice came from the oak tree that Thorne cast his eyes on.

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful tree spirit girl walked lightly and came to Thorne's side.

"Wow! Thorne, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've become so much more handsome than before."

The tree-spirit girl pressed close to Thorne, grabbing one of his arms with joy, and the other slender palm touched his cheek, which was hidden in the hood, without hesitation.

"You have good eyesight." Thorne turned slightly, avoiding the little hand of the dryad girl, and said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

Well, although these words came out of his own mouth and made the onlookers feel that he was a little narcissistic, it was indeed the truth.

After all, two points of charm attribute have been added. If there is no obvious change, it means that he looks too shabby.

"Of course, this lady is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also has a very accurate eye for people."

The tree spirit girl gently shook the emerald green silk that reached her waist, and a sly color flashed in her crystal clear dark green eyes.

She directly put her hands around Thorne's arms, made a very intimate look, and said with a smile: "Sonne, I'm starting to like you a little bit, how about you?"

"Me? Actually, I like myself quite a bit too." Thorne looked startled for a moment, then quickly pulled out his arm surrounded by the tree spirit girl, stepped back, and kept a distance from her, and replied with a very serious look.

Since he had a girlfriend, he no longer has stage fright for this kind of situation, and he can handle almost everything with ease. Want to molest him? Not so easy.

"..."

Seeing that Thorne kept a certain distance from herself, the tree spirit girl glared at him angrily, and said with a resentful tone: "Sonne, you've become bad, and you are looking for another woman behind my back."

"...If it's all right, I'll leave." Thorne was directly immune to the mischievous dryad girl's mournful tone, and brought the topic back.

After speaking, he made a plan to turn around and leave.

"No, if you want to enter the temple, unless you beat me once, or I will keep you here and stay by my side forever." The tree spirit girl squeezed her small fist and glared at Thorne fiercely. The surrounding vines surging again.

"Then guess the riddle." Thorne shrugged, looked at the tree spirit girl and said with a smile: "If I guess it, you will not only let me in, but I also need a small piece of oak that is more than a hundred years old, no problem. ."

This was the real reason why he deliberately let the tree spirit girl stop him, otherwise, with his current strength, it would be easy to avoid the opponent's entanglement.

The reason why oak that is more than a hundred years old is needed is mainly to make a new holy emblem.

Because these oak trees that grow in the temple are shrouded in divine aura and natural aura all the year round, the sacred emblem made of this material will be strengthened to a certain extent, and the natural magic spells cast will be strengthened.

The oak tree that this tree spirit maiden was accompanied by just happened to be more than a hundred years old.

In Merikai Temple, if the tree spirits were to cut down the oak tree that accompanied the other party without the tree spirit's consent, the consequences would be very serious, so he could only think of other ways.

"Then you have to listen carefully." The tree-spirit girl approached Thorne again and said with a smile: "Children are not afraid of frost, they grow up to show their sharpness, and they are broken into pieces when they are old, and they are still incomparable. Well, guess it. what is it?"

"It's wheat." Thorne reached out and touched the communication stone hidden in his chest, silent for a while, and replied confidently.

"...How did you guess it so quickly?" The tree-spirit girl looked at Thorne in surprise, a little overwhelmed.

Thorne smiled slightly, without explaining anything, and said directly: "Bring it here, willing to admit defeat."

"Humph!"

The pure tree spirit girl angrily threw an oak tree the size of a palm to Thorne, turned and disappeared into the oak tree without a trace.

"Thank you." Thorne thanked the oak tree, and walked directly towards the center of the temple regardless of whether the other party responded or not.

Thorne walked on the aisle of the shrine, where he responded to the kind greetings from many priests and apprentices, and went straight to the place of prayer of Archbishop Lausien, which is the golden oak tree in the center of the shrine.

When Thorne noticed Sting, a druid player sitting cross-legged under the oak tree, he was silent for a moment. Seeing that the other party was closing his eyes in deep thought, he bowed slightly and turned away.

Suddenly, Sting, whose eyes were closed, slowly opened his bright eyes. He got up and looked at Thorne's leaving back, pressed the unicorn holy emblem to his chest, bowed deeply to him, and then Sitting cross-legged again on the green moss under the oak tree and meditating.

Thorne came to the vicinity of the huge golden oak tree, looked at the statue of the goddess of the forest, slightly bent over and gave a respectful salute, then turned and walked in the direction of Archbishop Lausien.

"May the goddess of the forest bless you, stalker of the way of silence, half-elf ranger, Thorne." Noticing Thorne's arrival, the thick voice sounded first before the ranger could speak.

"Hello, High Priest Lausien." Thorne bowed to the middle-aged half-elf man who appeared in front of him, and said calmly:

"As a stalker of the Way of Silent, a ranger in the wilderness, a part of nature, I am committed to protecting the growth of civilization in the wilderness, and hunting down those evil for entertainment or cruelty.

In order to truly integrate into nature, to experience the holiness of nature, and to gain the power to hunt and kill evil things, I followed the footsteps of the tracking **** and came here, hoping that High Priest Lausien would guide me on a path that would never get lost. "

"You have proved your determination with your actions, and your prayers have already been answered by the forest goddess. This is something that belongs to you. Come with me to feel the holiness of nature, the hunter of the way of silence."

After Archbishop Lausien finished speaking, he motioned Thorne to follow in his footsteps, and the two walked toward the remote corner of the temple one after the other.

Thorne sat cross-legged in front of the statue of the God of Tracking. I don't know how long it took. When he slowly opened his eyes, the sky had quickly darkened, and he was the only one around, which seemed extraordinarily quiet.

So he immediately opened the system bar and checked the few magic spells he had just obtained:

The Baptism of Divine Art is complete!

All divine spells +1

Obtained the three-ring magic: Storm of Arrows, Shelter of the Forest, Sandstorm

...

The so-called divine art baptism ceremony is a simple ceremony held by the believers of each deity in order to quickly obtain divine art.

However, the function of this ritual is incomparable with the natural transformation ritual, except to obtain the corresponding level of magic.
