Chapter 100: Chapter 82: Trial Completed, Taking Nature as the Surname

Kurus Brass lifted his head and gazed at Gu Shanhai who was strolling towards him from not far away.

"I didn’t expect you to actually succeed. It’s unbelievable," Kurus Brass said, lying beside a huge demon corpse.

Gu Shanhai glanced at it and recognized it right away, just as he had thought, it was a Flame Demon.

"Yeah, I just happened to come over to check it out; I previously discovered an Elemental Realm exit in the Wind Elemental Region, and just wanted to see how Elder Kurus was doing," Gu Shanhai went through the fire, wind, water, and earth checks, but he did not leave through the Elemental Realm exit in the Eastern Earth Elemental Region that Kurus had mentioned before.

He also found one in the Wind Elemental Region, so after filling up the resistance and affinity for the four types of minor elements, he turned back.

The checking process was very smooth, with no significant dangers encountered, most likely because the noise from Kurus Brass’s fight with the demon caused most elemental creatures not to act rashly.

Otherwise, wandering around like this and not even encountering a medium-sized element would indeed be very lucky.

"It seems that the Mark technique is going to have one more Druid, that’s nice," Kurus Brass could not help but express his feelings. Now, the number of Druids could only be described individually, which shows how fallen they have become.

"If Druids valued these, they wouldn’t have fallen," said Gu Shanhai.

Had the Druids not holed themselves up in deep forests and relied on their abilities to become honored guests in various cities, they would never have been so destitute and would definitely be at the political center, just like Knights and Priests.

Upon hearing this, Kurus Brass nodded his dragon head in agreement; however, this action tugged at the huge wound on his body.

Obviously, it was inflicted by the Flame Demon and seemed to be entangled with some strange power, preventing the wound from healing through treatment.

"I am preparing to leave. The purpose of my journey was this demon. Since you found an Elemental Realm exit in the Wind Elemental Region, leave as soon as possible to complete the trial."

"After I finish my business, if I have time, I will come to visit you in Deer Plain."

At this time, Kurus Brass already regarded Gu Shanhai as one of the Druids and did not put on airs due to his senior status. Since the Druids were nearly extinct, there was no benefit in relying on status, especially since they weren’t from the same Druid faction. Besides, he was from a neutral, good-aligned camp and known to be a kind-hearted saint, naturally not minding such matters.

What’s more, he was delighted to see a new Druid arise.

"Well then, take care, Elder Kurus," said Gu Shanhai, who had only intended to check the situation and did not plan to stay long.

Although he did not know why Kurus Brass was there or why he wanted to hunt this demon, it was clear that the other party genuinely wanted to help him.

Kurus Brass flapped his wings and took off; as he left, he wondered why he was told to "take care." Was that about ’keeping the weight’?

’Dragons really defy science, with those wings managing to lift such a massive body...’

Under normal circumstances, with the dragon’s body structure, it would be impossible to fly; the weight alone would be unbearable, yet Kurus Brass was not only capable of flight but also flew swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon was gone.

Of course, the Flame Demon’s corpse, including the flowing blood and everything else, had all been meticulously cleaned up by Kurus Brass, as if he was worried that leaving it behind could be exploited.

’The Flame Demon must have been prophesied; Kurus Brass probably doesn’t need it, so it’s likely someone requested his help.’

After searching around and finding nothing, Gu Shanhai could only leave in silent resignation. The other party was thorough in his actions, naturally leaving no loose ends behind.

Of course, he was not only looking for traces of the Flame Demon but also for any remnants of Kurus Brass. Such a large wound on the other’s body – not to mention anything else – snatching some Dragon Blood to cultivate a Dragon Blood Spirit Plant would be excellent. Even just using it to nurture and strengthen the body would be great.

Naturally, there was nothing left to find; as a Druid adept at combat, Kurus would not overlook such an issue, as Wizards could use blood to curse others.

In this world, Wizards aren’t like those mad scientists, but more akin to Mages. However, most often they are of the evil alignment. More numerous than Druids in mainstream society, their power varies widely, and they truly are poor.

Living in impoverished and wicked environments like swamps and wild mountains, the one thing that sets them apart from Druids is that some are venerated by nobles, aiding them in unspoken tasks such as concocting poisons for assassinations or helping to curse political rivals.

Their reputation isn’t great, and often their power is a mess.

Mainly because they are universally hated and expelled by the mainstream, it is difficult for them to develop a complete system unlike the Knights, Priests, and Druids, whose professional systems are well-developed. Particularly the Knight profession, where just about every noble household owns a set of unique professions.

Priests, even as emerging professions, have been around for an exceedingly long time compared to Knights and Druids and can be traced back to the High Magic Era.
