Chapter 240 (1): Dragon Blood Curse
A breeze swept through the forest, rustling the leaves like low whispers. Wayne stood among nature with his eyes closed, rubbing the ring on his index finger as he listened to the voices and sensed the omnipresent vitality and energy.
He possessed two rings: a ring of fire element that pretended to have high affinity with fire, and the ring of thoughts Senna gave him.
The former wasn’t much to write home about. It was a third party that was so incompetent that it lowered Wayne’s affinity to fire elements instead. The latter was something to write home about. It contained mana that could communicate with nature to enhance the user’s faith magic, allowing the user to wield the same magic while cutting down on the cost of thoughts and mana.
Despite the lower cost of thoughts and mana, the magic was just as powerful, or even more powerful. Then what had been added to the formula?
Wayne pondered the whole night and concluded that the ring had added nature to the formula with its ability to communicate with nature. Although the ring might not be strong, nature was. Given how mighty nature was, it didn’t have to do much to overfill the formula.
Then he pondered another night and wondered if the ring, just like his fire element ring, had seriously limited the power of nature. Perhaps nature could’ve contributed more, but the ring was so tight that it limited the volume of input, thus resulting in a cream puff rather than oat porridge with milk.
Wayne wanted the latter!
It had always been his minor goal. In the past, he had had no inkling how he should go about it. Even after transforming into an elf, something seemed to be missing. Now...
“Still doesn’t work too well. I’m missing something, but what is it?”
Wayne rubbed the ring. Whatever it was, he should remember this feeling. Once he had mastered it, he would forgo the ring, and perhaps he would get nature’s oat porridge.
Who wanted cream puffs when they could have oat porridge?
Wayne nodded to himself. It was an easy choice. Even Filomina, Mona, and Kristen knew that oat porridge was much more filling.
