Chapter 112 - 107: Good Review for the Magic Staff
Luh Yao activated the [Scorching Sun] Miracle. By focusing its range down to a single point, he could instantly ignite a large fire.
The scattered, torn diary pages were burned to ashes.
Luh Yao then used [Rainfall] to quickly extinguish the fire.
’I should check out this Forest House and see if I can make use of it.’
He shifted his perspective and clicked on the Forest House.
...
[Forest House](1000/1000): A wonder built by Forest Elemental Creatures. It is under a complete seal.
...
Luh Yao was no stranger to this kind of situation.
Snowman Jimmy had been sealed by a curse, which could be broken simply by spending Faith.
Luh Yao tried clicking the number to the right of the [Forest House] icon.
The number changed to 990/1000.
Luh Yao spent 1,000 Faith in one go, completely breaking the seal on the Forest House.
...
[Forest House]: A wonder built by Forest Elemental Creatures.
Nearby creatures have a chance to transform into Forest Elemental Creatures. It can also enlighten a Forest Soul, turning it into a Wandering Elf.
...
The [Forest House] offered no direct attribute bonuses. It was a structure similar to a hatchery, capable of gradually increasing the number of Forest Elemental Creatures.
The Wandering Elf piqued Luh Yao’s interest.
The quests in the Golden Field were all interlinked, part of the Rebirth plan orchestrated by the Forest God. That’s why they involved both equipment and the creation of Forest Elemental Creatures.
About ten minutes later, the small [Forest House] was excavated by a Skeleton King Armor, which dug up the earth and rock beneath it. The whole structure was then carefully transported to the forest floor.
The moment the house appeared, the surrounding Forest Elemental Creatures flocked to it.
Among them were the Forest Wolf Pack, lynxes, Jungle Giant Lizards, and also the Tree People and Off-Road Rabbits that Luh Yao hadn’t seen in a while.
The Tree People, who were in Symbiosis with the [Forest Soul], had the strongest reaction.
One of the Tree People stood beside the [Forest House].
It slowly sat down, hugging its knees, and stared off into space. Even while sitting, the towering Tree Person was as tall as the house.
A dialogue box appeared above the Tree Person’s head for the first time.
""
The dialogue box was completely blank, as if it were either thinking or simply silent.
At that moment, a thin vine sprouted from the moss on the roof of the [Forest House]. The vine snaked its way up to the leafy canopy on the Tree Person’s head and, like a small hand, gently patted it.
An exclamation mark popped up above the Tree Person’s head.
Its enormous body began to shrink.
Its thick, brown trunk contracted, becoming a slender, powerful torso. Its dense, massive canopy of leaves condensed into long hair and a head. The Tree Person quickly transformed into a humanoid figure.
Now, he wore a wide-brimmed feathered hat, dressed in a green and white long robe and cloak, his brown hair draped over his shoulders, and he held a classical lute.
He had completely taken on the appearance of an Elf.
Luh Yao double-clicked to inspect.
...

Wisdom is the key for an Apostle to hear the Divine Will. The higher the level of Wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

[Forest Element LV1]

[Precise Shooting Lv15]
Increases the accuracy and damage of ranged attacks.
...
At only level 20, the Wandering Elf was tanky with high attack power. It could both take a hit and dish one out, and its speed was on par with the fastest Snowman.
However, the Elf had its own drawbacks.
First, the Forest Soul Trait prevented him from leaving the forest.
Second, being an Elf, his growth was very slow.
But considering he’d been upgraded from a Tree Person to an Elf, it was like trading a peashooter for a cannon. One couldn’t ask for more.
Luh Yao was very satisfied with this result.
With its seal broken, the [Forest House] had become a very useful wonder.
The Apostle Mark in the top-left corner changed from 0 to 1.
Just as Luh Yao was observing the Elf, a notification popped up in the simulator.
[The Forest House has awakened the Silvanus Tree. Please go and claim the treasure from the Silvanus Tree.]
’I almost forgot about that.’
To lure her successors into opening the Forest House, allowing her to merge her three parts and achieve Rebirth, the Forest God Sailor Li had spared no expense in the Golden Field.
Luh Yao switched his perspective to Salt Pool Castle and clicked to enter the [Golden Field].
In the Golden Field, the giant tree that pierced the sky reappeared.
From the starlit tree, a card imprinted with an Artifact flew out.
A message quickly appeared on the game interface.
[The Silvanus Tree has fallen asleep.]
[The forest awaits its awakening. Please create a Forest Elemental Hero to help the forest grow stronger. The Silvanus Tree will then grant another treasure in gratitude.]
Luh Yao scratched his head.
’The first time it was a choice of one out of three, the second time one out of two, and now the third time, it just gave me a designated Artifact.’
On the card was a Wizard Staff.
The Wizard Staff was entirely black. At its tip, several branches were entwined around a green crystal.
...
[Natural Magic Staff LV10]: Faith +10/hour, Knowledge +30, Mana +2.
An ancient Magic Staff of unknown origin, permanently enchanted with the Magic: [Life Mystery LV8] and [Flying].
Equip Requirement: [Wisdom Lv20]
...
Luh Yao was suddenly ecstatic.
Whether it was the buffs or the requirements, this equipment was clearly tailor-made for Isabel by Sailor Li.
’A Magic Staff that lets you fly. Makes sense.’
Luh Yao immediately had Isabel come over and equip the [Natural Magic Staff].
Her Attributes changed dramatically.
...
[Apostle Lv26] Forest Sword Isabelle
Life Value: 8325/8325
Mana Value: 915/915
Damage: 44
Defense: 42
Speed: 19
[Flying] (1 Mana/second)
Grants the ability to fly.
[Life Mystery LV8] (800 Mana)
Gain an extremely high amount of Life Value by seeing through the mysteries of life, constructing an additional form of life with magic. After being damaged, this extra life can be restored slowly over time or by using magic and artifacts.
...
Luh Yao knew this Natural Magic Staff couldn’t be bad; after all, it was the first time he had ever seen a LV10 Artifact. The [Ghost White Horse] was only LV6.
But he never expected that the Natural Magic Staff’s [Life Mystery] would be this ridiculous.
It directly boosted Isabel’s Life Value by 8,000... a buff so strong it felt unreal.
No wonder Isabel never put any points into her Life Value.
As long as she had this Natural Magic Staff, her Life Value was rock-solid.
Luh Yao thought with sincere gratitude.
’Thank you, Witch.’
’The Magic Staff is great, excellent value for the price, and I love the bonus Magic. Five stars!’
’As for the memory diary, I’m returning it. One star.’
’Isabel riding her Magic Staff... now *that’s* her final form.’
Luh Yao’s heart swelled with delight as he watched Isabel zip around in the sky.
’Finally, I have some air power.’
’Land, sea, and air... I’ve got them all covered now.’
Isabel was like a nimble spy satellite. She could rush to any area on the map at a moment’s notice to complete scouting and surveillance missions.
This gave him another reliable asset for information warfare.
Just as Luh Yao was leaning back in his chair, daydreaming about the future, a new notification popped up on the screen.
[The Deep Sea Fishmen have presented a Sacrificial Offering.]
