Only trees that are more than 500 years old will unite the heart of oak.

The heart of the oak contains a huge amount of life energy, which is equivalent to the heart of an ancient tree. If the heart of the oak is taken away, the old tree, though it will not wither and die, will become languishing, and its leaves will wither and yellow.

"Every heart of an oak tree is an ancient elven tree, and I hope you will treat them well." Mira was a little sad.

She told Gavin that it was the Heart of the Oak taken from the Elven Tree that had been burned to death the other day, and that it was the druid's companion.

"The lone wolf and the four-armed orangutan, please take care of it. The lone wolf is fine, the four-armed orangutan has a violent temperament, I hope you can be appeased. Gavin said.

He left the lone wolf and the four-armed orangutan behind.

Lone wolves have the potential to grow into large creatures, while four-armed orangutans are not yet adults. In the Sacred Death Forest, they will grow faster.

Gavin, of course, had other ideas.

He hoped that the lone wolf and the four-armed orangutan would be cared for and helped by the druids, and that they would not only become stronger, but perhaps also gain some unexpected abilities.

"Believing in the abilities of the druids, we will treat them like our own animal companions." Mira promised, then blessed: "May nature be with you." ”

"May the arcane energy bless you." Gavin chuckled and left with Morgana.

…………

It was a small caravan from the Flame King, and the owner was a human woman in her twenties.

A few horses, two carriages, a dozen escorts.

Some of the ordinary guards are just that, except for the captain of the guard of a Tier 3 warrior, the others are Tier 1 and Tier 2.

Such small caravans are common.

After the War of the Gods, the various races suffered heavy casualties and tended to recuperate.

For three hundred years, with the exception of a few racial wars, most of the time it has been peaceful.

Pegasus City is not safe in the wild because of the Ogre Mountain.

However, in the rest of the Flame King City, there was no such danger, and there was an endless stream of caravans between the various cities and the Flame King City.

It was a small caravan that traded between the Flame King City and the Heavenly Sword Fortress.

Fishermen sell fish caught from the inland sea at low prices to fishmongers, who then dry the fish and transport it to the Heavenly Sword Fortress, less than ten kilometers away, to sell it at a high price to small caravans, who then transport it to other towns in the Flame Kingdom.

As soon as it comes and goes, it is a doubling of profits.

Two days ago, Gavin and Morgana ran into them on the road and helped them out of a siege by a pack of timberwolves. As a token of appreciation, and as a gesture of kindness to Morgana as a mage, the mistress invited Gavin and Morgana to join them - well, Gavin is still dressed as a human swordsman.

Surprisingly, the hostess was a low-level mage who knew a little about spells, and she had no hope of stepping into a high-level mage in her life, and she had great respect for a high-level mage like Morgana, and took the initiative to invite her to ride in the carriage with her. And Gavin, who is believed to be a follower of Morgana, can only choose to ride a horse.

The siege of the Timberwolves injured one of the caravan's important guards, who was now recuperating in the wagon carrying the goods. Because Gavin had shown great combat effectiveness before, killing several wolves by himself, he was respected by the guards.

The horse of the important guard was given to him to ride.

"Horseback riding...... It's not that easy! Gavin sighed.

The horse was well-trained, the problem was that Gavin had never learned to ride and didn't even know how to get on the horse at first.

His face, which was about thinner than the city walls, was slightly hot, and Gavin didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he jumped up, and then used his mental power to appease the horse and successfully submit.

He walked side by side with the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard, who was in his early thirties, was said to have been a brilliant adventurer before retiring due to injury.

Trauma is easy to heal, but after all, he is not young, and after his peak, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before. And after years of adventure, he has accumulated a certain amount of wealth, so he no longer takes risks, but chooses to become a guard.

His name was "Hans".

When Hans was young, he once left the city of the Flame King and wandered outside. After more than ten years of hard work, he finally became a three-star adventurer.

He has traveled throughout the Holy Griffon Empire and is well-informed.

This is a taciturn man with a calm temperament. But Gavin always had a way to get him to speak, to talk to him, and to gain a lot of knowledge.

For example, the steepness of the Heavenly Sword Fortress, the prosperity of Tianluo Port, the fierce folk customs of the Hungry Wolf Principality, and the prosperity of the imperial capital.

Unfortunately, he hadn't been to the Magic Acropolis.

"It's a city of mages, and it's also a city of alchemy. However, the Acropolis of Magic only welcomes mages, alchemists, and their followers. I heard that the magic acropolis is more prosperous than the capital of the empire, with tall golems patrolling the streets, sturdy gargoyles lying on the city walls, and mages flying around on flying carpets, which is spectacular. ”

When talking about the magic acropolis, Hans looked envious and longing.

He told Gavin that it was the regret of his life that he had not been to the Acropolis.

He once traveled with a high-ranking mage who wanted to take him as a follower. However, at that time, he was arrogant and did not agree, and when he was older, he never had the opportunity to meet a mage of that level again, which was the thing he regretted the most in his life.

As night fell, the caravan stopped beside a small river to prepare for the night.

Hans led the other guards to set up a guard and defense, and lit a bonfire. One of the guards said that his father was a well-known chef and knew some cooking skills. He skinned and washed one of the antelopes he had hunted, and set up a bonfire for barbecue. After a while, the aroma overflowed.

Morgana got out of the carriage and politely declined the hostess's invitation to dinner and came to Gavin's side.

"That hostess is not simple." Morgana stretched out her hand to bake the fire and whispered, "Her parents are long dead, leaving her and her brother behind. It is not easy for a woman to independently support a caravan and earn enough money for her to learn spells to become a mage and her younger brother to become a knight. ”

Gavin was surprised, "His brother is a knight?" ”

Knight, not Cadet Knight or Knight Squire.

The hostess was twenty-one or twelve years old at most, and her brother must have been even younger, probably less than twenty.

A knight who is less than twenty years old is not easy for someone who is not from a noble background.

"A knight stationed in the Heavenly Sword Fortress, belonging to a certain cavalry unit." Morgana said, "The hostess knocked on the side to inquire about my inheritance. I ignored her, and she wanted to exchange gold coins for spell knowledge, and the price she gave was not low. ”

Gavin raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: "She doesn't have a teacher?" ”

This was a time when the mage's way was just being revived, and the study of arcane energy was far less prosperous than it was 10,000 years ago.

In this world, if you want to become a mage, you can't just have money, you need to have a teacher.

However, every mage prefers to spend a limited amount of time in pursuit of endless knowledge. Even if you accept apprentices, you don't charge a lot, and you often have to charge a lot of tuition.

So if you want to be a mage, you have to be very rich.

Since the hostess is a beginner mage, how can she not have a teacher?

"Ten years ago, she accidentally saved an old mage and became a disciple of that man." Morgana shook her head and said, "But the mage was very old at the time, and died within a few years. Moreover, the old mage is only a beginner mage, and his knowledge is limited, so he can not teach her much. ”

Gavin nodded slightly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"You know what? Something has happened to the Forest of the Holy Dead! One of the guards shouted, attracting the attention of many people.
