"Long time no see, Wayne."

Keynster's complexion was much better than before, and it seemed that living in the forest was good for the druids, and his originally thin face had become much more rounded.

The old man was delighted to see Wayne, and warmly invited Wayne and Geralt to sit down on some of the tree stumps, and brought out a pot of acorn wine, which was said to be his own brewing, to entertain them.

Although the appetizer is only some fruits and wild vegetables.

But not to mention, the acorn wine tastes quite good, in addition to having a unique acorn with a fragrant and slightly bitter taste, after drinking it, there is a faint warmth, melting in the taste buds, making people feel calm.

After drinking a glass of acorn, Wayne habitually greeted:

"Long time no see, Elder Keynsster, how have you been doing this year?"

In the face of Wayne's greeting, the old man touched his snow-white beard, and patted his shabby and dirty linen robe stained with all kinds of leaves, mud, animal droppings, and unknown dirt, and looked at ease, and said:

"I'm doing well, the nature in the Virgina Forest is quite strong, and it's perfect for us druids."

"Now, my Druid Ring has been established, and the Sacred Oak has taken root and is thriving."

"As long as I keep it quiet, one day, this sacred tree will be able to shelter this forest and make it a peaceful home for nature."

Although the old man was smiling and seemed to be gaining weight, it was clear to Wayne that the Druid Elder's life was quite difficult.

The so-called Ring of Druids, the Holy Oak, now has only one huge oak tree that is still quite luxuriant, and under the cover of the oak leaves, some wild animals live there, all kinds of flowers and plants are in full bloom, and all the creatures live in harmony and do not fight each other because of each other's food chain relationship.

But the old man did not even have a wooden house now, but a sleeping bunk in a pit beside the oak tree, made of some straw and animal skins.

Not far from the sleeper, there was a simple bonfire that had been used for cooking for a long time, and several iron pots made of broken copper and iron hung there, and there was not even a spatula, only a charred wood as a spoon, and I don't know what was boiling in the pot.

It's not so much a life close to nature as it is a savage life.

However, everyone has their own life, and it is better for others not to interfere, and after a few small conversations with Elder Cairnst, Wayne and Elder Cairns talked about the battle of tomorrow's underwater half-fishman city, and tentatively asked the Druid Elder what he thought.

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

"I'm sorry, Wayne."

"In your eyes, these half-fishmen who believe in evil gods are evil beings, but in the teachings of our druids, everything is the law of nature, balanced, and exists between all things, and we cannot interfere too much."

"Although I wish you victory from the bottom of my heart, if you want me to participate in this battle, it will be against our way of survival."

Well, Wayne had heard a little about the teachings of the druids, and he was only in the mood to try it out when he invited Elder Keyernst to join him in the battle.

Since they didn't agree, he didn't want to say anything more, but made several other requests.

"Elder, I want to ask you to buy some potions that can urgently heal injuries, you know, our witcher's potions contain poison and cannot cure the injuries of ordinary people."

"Of course, it would be better if you could teach me how to make this healing potion as well."

For Wayne's request, Keynsted was not stingy, and immediately took out more than a dozen bottles of healing potions made by himself and gave them to Wayne, but for the formula, he shook his head regretfully and said:

"The recipes for these potions are pretty simple, but to make them, you have to use the mana of the druids, so you can't make them even if you tell you the recipes."

It was another rather regrettable thing, and although Wayne was a little disappointed in his heart, he quickly made a third request.

After hearing this, Elder Kane was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically:

"You mean, you want the kind of potion that boosts a woman's stamina when men and women are together?"

Wayne nodded awkwardly.

Mainly because of Triss's magically sensitive physique, every time he hasn't finished his fun, the sorceress has already fallen asleep, which makes people very helpless.

It occurred to him that Triss was also allergic to potions, and that she could not even drink potions with magical powers, otherwise she would vomit them, and added:

"Yes, Elder, it's best to use pure medicinal properties to strengthen the physical strength of the person taking it, the kind that doesn't carry magical power."

Elder Druid was also a little embarrassed by Wayne's request, he scratched his honeycomb hair, closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"I seem to remember that there is an ancient book that records such an elixir, using the power of natural harmony, slowly instilling the medicinal effect into the bodies of both men and women."

"If you take it for a long time, it will not only make both parties last longer in this matter, but also increase their chances of conception and give birth to a strong child."

After hearing this answer, Wayne was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some surprise:

"Elder, is this potion only effective against humans, or is it effective against non-human races?"

"Is the effect very obvious?"

The old man shook his head for a moment, and then said:

"It should be very effective, and it should be for all races, because this is a precious note left by my teacher, the result of years of painstaking research by his old man."

"It's a pity that before he could release it, my teacher died in an accident."

Keyernst shook his head and looked rather sorry, but Wayne, who was opposite him, was caught in a huge surprise, almost forgetting the previous two requests.

Increasing the fertility rate may not only be not beneficial to humans and some other races, but a disaster, but as a half-elf, he knows very well that if this potion is really good, for the elven race, it is no less than an artifact, a treasure that changes the fate of the race.

And I thought about another problem, the druids are good at the way of nature, alchemy, pharmaceutical, breeding, planting, and the research of various life sciences, and they are simply high-tech agricultural talents.

If he can recruit a group of druids to work for him, not only will he be able to do quite a good job, but he will also be able to do quite a lot of work, and he will not lose money.

So he spoke:

"Elder Keynsted, please bother with the matter of that fertility potion, it is important to me."

"I see that you are the only one in the Druid Ring you have established, and you must be too busy with many things."

"If you need it, I can help you recruit some apprentices, so that your druid way can flourish here, and it will also give you more helpers to better develop your druid ring."

The Druid Elder was still quite kind-hearted, and when Wayne entrusted him so solemnly, he immediately said that he would bring back his teacher's research materials as soon as possible, and give him the formula of the fertility increase potion.

As for the recruitment of druid apprentices, Keynst is also very interested, he was imprisoned by the Wild Dog Gang for three years, and the establishment of the Druid Ring was also delayed for three years, and now he has finally settled down, and naturally wants to pass on his natural ways.

If he could have more apprentices to help him, maybe he would be able to build a strong druid organization from this druid ring, which is the dream of all druids.

That afternoon, Wayne talked a lot with the Druid Elder, not only asking him for the complete version of animal taming, but also getting a lot of additions from him about some herbology and alchemy.

Of course, Wayne is not a man who blindly takes and does not give, he promises to help Keyernst strengthen his ring of druids, although he also has the idea of cultivating his own druid with the help of this elder, but it is a win-win decision, and it is quickly recognized by Keynster.

Wait until Wayne returns to Vijmar the next morning with a large pile of potions from the Druid Elders.

Full-fledged underwater city warfare has already begun.
