"Without our help, the dragon's resentment will slowly erode you. How long can you hold on?"

Vortigern's tone remained unchanged as he said calmly:

"Even with your help, I can only hold on for a few years at most. Instead of immersing myself in a false dream, I might as well leave this time for you to use. At least I don't hate this young man."

The elk was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Then see you in a year, Your Highness!"

"See you in a year, teacher!"

...........

When Lin En woke up from his sleep, the first thing he saw was a roof covered with flowers. The dense branches grew tightly together, forming a perfect circle with patterns of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind engraved on it.

Lin En propped himself up and unexpectedly found that the fatigue he should have felt had disappeared without a trace, and he even felt a little excited.

"You're awake, kid!"

A gentle voice sounded in his ears. Lynn turned around and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a long skirt that Celtic nobles wore on outings, a small wreath on her head, and a golden mistletoe on her chest.

The voice was clear and pleasant, but the words were blunt.

"When you wake up, come out to work. The old guys have gone hunting, leaving me alone to look after the house."

Lin En stood up subconsciously, followed the girl and walked out the door.

What meets the eye is a scenery like a primeval forest. The tall trees seem to block out the sky. Scattered light falls on the grass at feet, forming light spots of varying sizes. The most enchanting thing is the lake not far away, which seems to be the reflection of the silver moon above the earth, with a little hazy mist.

Lin En wondered if he had traveled through time again, but the natural consciousness flying around him told him that he was still in Type-Moon's world.

"Come here, come here."

The girl next to him waited for Lin En to finish appreciating the natural beauty before urging him to walk to another tree house.

When you push open the door, a strong herbal scent hits you in the face, followed by the scent of countless plants' flowers, which might even make you think the herbal smell was just an illusion.

"come in!"

The girl walked inside first, passing by pots of rare plants. Many of these plants Lin En had only seen in the classics handed down by the Druid Order, and they had long been extinct in the outside world.

The girl took Lin En to the innermost workbench, which was filled with various tools, including knives, pestles, mortars, medicine grinders, etc., almost all of which were used to make herbal medicine.

"Come on, grind all these herbs into powder. If you have any questions, ask them after they are done."

The question that Lin En was about to ask was swallowed back by him. Although the girl in front of him should be the same age as him, her behavior gave Lin En the feeling that she was an elder.

So Lin En began to push the wheel-like millstone back and forth, grinding various unknown herbs into fine powder, making a slight rustling sound.

At the same time, the girl began to walk around the botanical garden with a knife, cutting off a small piece of plant tissue from time to time, carefully examining their texture, judging their age, determining their medicinal efficacy, and then putting them on the workbench for various processing.

Lin En completed his work quickly, after all, it was just a simple repetitive action. But the girl's work was very complicated. Each plant needed a corresponding treatment method, and then was placed in the crucible in a certain order, and finally stirred repeatedly with a long wooden handle.

Like a witch brewing her potion.

"Come over when you're done grinding. Can't you see I'm too busy?"

The girl saw Lin En standing there in a daze and said unhappily.

Lynn finally responded, walked forward, took the wooden spoon from the girl's hand, and began to stir at a slow but regular pace.

The girl kept working, throwing all kinds of herbs into the crucible, which were mixed with minerals and animal bones. When they hit the water surface, they all sank silently without a splash.

As time passed, Lin En felt that the wooden spoon in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and the color of the crucible changed from the original emerald green to dark blue. Even with the burning flame, the temperature in the crucible continued to rise.

"almost."

The girl looked at the liquid that seemed to have turned into a condensed ocean, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the spoon, scooped a small sip, poured it into her mouth and tasted it.

"Yes! The efficacy is perfect. These precious materials are not wasted."

The girl scooped up another spoonful and passed it to Lin En's mouth. Lin En took the spoon and took a sip, as if he had swallowed a large piece of ice. The cold feeling spread from his stomach to his whole body, and he shuddered.

But at the same time, Lin En also felt that his mental strength had increased a lot, his brain became a little excited, and he even wanted to have another sip.

"Just drink a little, any more would be a waste."

Seeing that Lin En seemed to want to taste it again, the girl quickly took the wooden spoon from his hand and put the liquid in the crucible into a special container.

After everything was done, the girl took out a few cookies and handed them to Lin En, saying to him, "Okay, you can ask now if you want to know anything."

Lynn took a bite of the cookie. It was sweet, probably made from licorice with a little honey added.

"So, first of all, where is this place?"

Lynn asked the question she most wanted to know.

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 78: Growth Period

"This is the inner sea of ​​the star. To be more precise, it is the gap between the inner sea of ​​the star and the surface world."

The girl casually said something that could drive the magicians outside crazy.

Lin En was also shocked on the spot, not understanding why he had only been unconscious for a while and then ran away to the legendary Star Sea.

The girl glanced at Lin En who was standing there in a daze, but didn't say anything else. After all, when she first came here, she couldn't believe that she could do such a thing.

When Lin En finally accepted the fact that he had stepped into the inner sea of ​​​​the star, his first reaction was to sense the existence of the Great Source.

The world responded to him. The omnipresent true ether gathered around him at an unprecedented speed, even forming blurred light and shadows. In the forest, the figures of giant trees appeared and disappeared from time to time.

The girl's eyes focused and she saw the familiar giant tree. She had a bold guess in her mind, but she didn't show it. Instead, she watched Lin En take his first breath.

Lin En felt as if he had returned to the time before he was born, in his mother's arms. Endless true ether gathered together, as if it was about to condense into a solid entity, wrapping up Lin En's body.

Lin En understood what he meant and touched the lion symbol in his spiritual sea. His body began to melt and a golden light emerged.

And at this moment, the long-awaited true ether swarmed towards the unformed body, the golden light grew rapidly, and the cub inside grew rapidly, directly passing through the short infancy and entering the long growth period. At the same time, the body continued to grow.

"Did it skip the infancy stage and enter the growth stage? As expected, the higher the level of the mythical beast, the longer it takes to grow. The world's compensation can speed up its growth, but the time required is too long. I'm afraid it won't be able to enter adulthood. But we still have to give it a try."

So the girl stood up, took out many pottery jars with inscriptions on them from a shelf nearby, and poured the herbs in them into the ball of light that had not yet condensed.

These are all magic potions that they have made over a long period of time. Thanks to the environment here being similar to the Age of Gods, many materials that have long been extinct in the outside world can be found here, otherwise it would be impossible to make so many high-level potions.

Jars of solid, liquid, and even gaseous potions entered the ball of light, as if a catalyst had been added. The magic storm that had originally stopped began to surge again, attracting true ether from afar to gather here and then be absorbed by the ball of light.

But this is only the last struggle. Compared with the power of the world, the druid's potion is just an insignificant auxiliary ingredient.

The golden light began to converge, and the life inside was reshaped again. The golden lion, which was originally only the size of an adult cat, has now grown to the size of a little leopard. The fur on its face began to appear, and the golden whiskers beside its nose swayed slightly, sensing everything around it.

Lin En felt that his perception was constantly expanding, as if nature was responding to him and catering to his strength. If he fought in this state, he would definitely be able to exert unimaginable power.

Lynn opened his eyes and saw the girl's slightly frowned brow.

"You have indeed grown up, but you have also become less cute. I still like the way you were before!"

Lynn stood up, looked up at the unhappy girl, hesitated for a moment, and began to try to make himself smaller.

Changing form is almost an instinct of the mythical beasts. Although they can only exert their full combat power in their original form, a miniaturized body also has corresponding advantages, such as reducing mana consumption.

Of course, Lin En doesn’t need to save magic power now. This is the inner sea of ​​the star. The great source is everywhere, and the true ether almost fills Lin En’s whole body.

However, since the girl has helped him so much, he still has to fulfill her small wish.

As Lin En thought this, he turned back into the size of an ordinary cat and was held in the girl's arms.

"Linda, is Lynn here with you?"

An old but powerful voice came from outside the house, and someone pushed open the door, letting in light.

Only then did Lynn notice that there were no windows in this room, and all the light was provided by candles.

"Oh! Is the ceremony over? You should have waited for us to come back together, little Linda. This is precious research material!"

The old man who walked in from outside complained. He was wearing a plain white robe and holding a staff that was very similar to Lin En's oak staff. Nine leaves of different colors were swaying slightly in the air.

But in Lynn's eyes, in his perception which was infinitely magnified at this moment, the nine leaves quickly enlarged, and nine spheres of different colors were reflected in the endless darkness, rotating along a specific trajectory.

No, it was not a sphere, but nine rotating planets. But behind the nine planets, an indescribable giant tree appeared from time to time, as if it was formed by the sea of ​​stars.

"World Tree, Yggdrasil!"

Lynn muttered.

The old man heard Lin En's voice, raised the staff in his hand and waved it, and the strange vision in Lin En's eyes disappeared immediately.

"Concentrate your perception, stabilize your spirit, don't think about those strange things, think about the druid heritage in your mind, learn more now, and you will suffer less in the future."

The old man's voice was gentle but powerful, and Lin En subconsciously followed his instructions. His mind sank into consciousness, and endless books appeared in his consciousness, unfolding under Lin En's thoughts.

The knowledge that was originally just memorized in a hurry began to be digested at this moment. Those obscure words and sentences and indescribable pictures were easily broken down and absorbed. Lin En's level of magic theory was rapidly improving.

The girl looked at the "cat" in her arms and saw that it had closed its eyes. Even when she scratched its chin with her hand, it didn't respond at all. She couldn't help but pout and put Lin En on the mat beside her.

"The effect of the ritual is not as good as expected. It has only helped us get through the childhood and entered the growth stage. I don't know how long it will take to reach adulthood."

Girl, Linda said to the old man.

"This is troublesome. If he leaves this environment, his growth rate will slow down again. The outside environment is difficult to support the growth of such a high-level mythical beast. I'm afraid that for a long time, he will have to remain in his current form, whether it's his human form or his beast form."

The old man touched his beard and said with a headache.

"That's nothing we can do. The effect of the ritual is limited. The main effect is the blessing of the world. Unless we can find the legendary magic medicine, there is nothing we can do."

The girl didn't seem to care too much.

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 79: Stories from the Elders

"What about the others? Can they make it back?"

The girl asked the question she wanted to know most.

The old man shook his head and said to the girl:

"The inner sea of ​​stars rejects us more than we imagined. Even with the help of your potion, we can only free one person at most. So we decided that each of us will teach this child for a month and pass on as much knowledge as possible to him. The first one will be me."

The girl frowned and said unhappily:

"I can obviously serve as the center of the magic circle, so why are only the twelve of you taking turns?"

"Because this shouldn't be your responsibility."

The old man reached out and touched the girl's head, with a faint smile on his face:

"This responsibility should have belonged to Elder Nimo. If it weren't for the fact that he is more suitable to inherit the power of druids, that position should have belonged to you!"

The girl was silent for a long time before she spoke in frustration:

"No, it's because I'm too weak. If I leave here, I won't have the confidence to protect the druid heritage, let alone teach others."

"But staying here isn't such a bad thing!"

The girl raised her head and looked directly into the old man's eyes.

"At least I have seen many herbs that have long been extinct in the outside world. Even in the Age of Gods, it is unimaginable to have such a large medicinal field."

The old man finally smiled sincerely, took her into his arms, and gently patted the girl's back.

"Don't worry, it's not the worst yet."

.....................

When Lin En woke up from his sleep again, the outside world was still bright. Even though the sun was not visible, the light still favored this place.

Lin En pushed open the door and saw an old man tending to the medicinal field at the door. The old man inserted the wooden stick in his hand into the soil, and clear water gushed out from the earth. After splashing the old man, it returned to the earth and divided into countless small tributaries to nourish the nearby plants.

The old man's originally serious expression stiffened unconsciously, and his original aura of a hermit disappeared in an instant, turning into a little old man who wanted to show off in front of his grandson but failed.

The old man touched the water on his face and said with some sigh:

"Why are you bullying me too!"

After saying this, he turned around and faced Lin En, performing a druid's etiquette:

"Nice to meet you. I'm the Archdruid, Del!"

Lin En suppressed his smile, remained serious, and performed a druid's etiquette to the old man:

"Nice to meet you. I am the Archdruid of the modern era, Lin En!"

The old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. Polite children are always more likable.

"Then let me answer your questions!"

As the old man said this, he took Lynn to a huge oak tree, where there was a huge round table, which looked a bit like the one in the Camelot Palace.

The old man noticed Lin's gaze, sat at the top, reached out and touched the ancient boulder, and said:
