The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Okay, Attilan did have a little bit of expectation for the Wisdom Spring, hoping that the Wisdom Spring could really have no side effects, but there is no free lunch in the world, and any gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price.

Attilan's eyes rolled, and he asked curiously:

"Since drinking this Wisdom Spring will cause problems, then you're looking for the Wisdom Spring to fetch water for brewing wine. Could it be that the brewed wine can only retain the positive effects of the Wisdom Spring? It's not that easy to remove the negative effects of this kind of magical treasure with legendary mythological meaning, right?"

The Wine Woman nodded and then said with a proud smile:

"Of course. There is only one possibility for the Wisdom Spring to be born, that is, there were a large number of intelligent lives in this world, but they died in large numbers in a very short period of time."

"The unwilling resentment in their souls, carrying the light of their wisdom, merged into the sea, and finally magically appeared in the water veins of a certain mountain range on the land, forming a unique spring."

"The unique aura of wisdom carried by the Wisdom Spring can make people rush to drink the Wisdom Spring water as if they were bewitched."

Attilan gasped.

"Could it be said that the Wisdom Spring not only has the effect of increasing intelligence, but it can also reduce intelligence?"

The Wine Woman glanced at the northern mountains with disdain.

"The Wisdom Spring is a strange thing created by the resentment of the dead. It does have many effects that ordinary people cannot achieve, but because it is stained with resentment, the Wisdom Spring is destined not to be the kind of thing that helps people."

"If you have never had wisdom, then you can naturally gradually accept your mediocrity, but once you have had wisdom, then the rest of your life can only be spent with unwilling resentment."

"Moreover, the Wisdom Spring does not help you for nothing. The wisdom gained through the Wisdom Spring will eventually be taken back. As you know, souls can get the chance to be reincarnated."

"The longer the soul exists in the material world after reincarnation, the more spiritual light of wisdom it will have, and the higher the achievements it will achieve in the next life. Theoretically, as long as it can be reincarnated continuously, anyone can become a quasi-god one day."

Attilan's mouth twitched.

"You said 'theoretically'. I can say that after a soul is reincarnated, it will almost certainly encounter a scourge like the Wisdom Spring in the material world, which absorbs the spiritual light of the soul's origin."

"After being absorbed, if the talent becomes more ordinary, at least there is still a chance to start over. If the power of the soul is drained and turned into soul factors, even if it is re-aggregated into a new soul, it will mostly have nothing to do with the previous soul."

"Many souls only have one chance after being condensed from soul factors absorbed from the material world. Not to mention becoming a quasi-god, at least they have to get the chance to stay in the material world for reincarnation."

"I remember that Druids have a spell that can stuff the soul of a destroyed body into the body of a weaker animal. Then, can we stuff the soul into the human body controlled by those congenitally underdeveloped souls?"

The Wine Woman immediately looked at Attilan seriously.

"What do you want to do! I'm telling you, doing this kind of experiment violates the Druidic Code of Conduct established by the Council of Nature. If Master Geo-Ge knows about it, your dragon scales will be smashed to pieces by his lightning whip."

"Not only humans, it is strictly forbidden to conduct evil soul experiments on any intelligent life!"

Where in this world can you find so many fools with incomplete soul development? In the end, most of the experiments still have to be carried out on normal people.

"Then, if I find an evil, unintelligent merman and stuff a human soul into the merman's body, does that violate the Code of Conduct?"

The Wine Woman glanced at him.

"Can't you just not do the experiment? Besides, you're using the guise of helping souls reincarnate, but you're just stuffing people into merman bodies. Are you helping or cursing them?"

"How can a normal human accept becoming an ugly merman!"

Attilan hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked:

"If they dislike the merman's ugliness, then it's okay if I change it to a mermaid, right?"

"All intelligent life! If mermaids don't work, what about sirens or harpies?"

"How can you assume that the soul you need to help is female?"

Attilan scratched his chin.

"Souls have no gender. After all, souls are just an aggregate of energy. What has gender is the physical body in the material world. Just slightly modify their memory, and they will think they have always been female."

The Wine Woman glanced at Attilan with disdain.

"You have such a high level of soul knowledge? In just two years, you've reached the level where you can modify soul memories?"

Attilan coughed awkwardly.

"Not yet, but I'm currently practicing in the field of souls, and at the same time, I won't give up practicing life knowledge. It's okay to dislike the ugliness of the merman's body."

"As for researching those intelligent races favored by gods, you can only choose some individuals without faith and who are willing to participate on a small scale."

"You can't mess with those who aren't willing, otherwise the number of souls won't match up, and the God of Death will send hellhounds or come to your door personally."

If the God of Death personally comes to check the water meter, who can withstand that?

"So, don't easily research souls. If you must do research in this area, it's best to do it in the Emerald Dream. That's our Council of Nature's territory."

Attilan looked at her questioningly.

"Wait, how do I feel that you've become more knowledgeable about many secret knowledge that you didn't know before compared to two years ago?"

The Wine Woman slammed the table directly.

"Nonsense, did you think that you were the only one who was improving in the past two and a half years? Flower Woman and I followed Jaina and Master Robert, and we also learned a lot of knowledge and skills, okay!"

"Originally, Geo-Ge and Master Jaina planned to let you and the Eagle King be responsible for managing the forest, but later, on the recommendation of Master Blooddye, the number of people managing the forest increased by three: me, Flower Woman, and Bear Man."

Attilan was greatly puzzled.

"Why? Is it because the strength of me and the Eagle King is not enough, and the masters are not satisfied?"

The Wine Woman shook her head.

"Of course not. It is precisely because your performance during this period has made the masters believe that your probability of possibility has increased. In order to allow you to concentrate on your practice,"

"we specifically chose the three of us as secondary assistant managers. We can also get 70% of your forest resources' care. After all, our probability of possibility is very low, but it's not non-existent."

Attilan shook his head and complained:

"How can they judge our future so casually based on the probability of breaking through to become a legendary Druid? If they don't believe in miracles, miracles can't descend."

The Wine Woman took a sip of wine with disdain.

"Your mental victory method is useless. Just piously believing that you can break through to Legend will allow the power of faith to act on yourself and increase your talent."

"That will only turn people into arrogant madmen and will not bring any change at all. This kind of cultivation method is not as good as the wine I plan to brew with the Fountain of Wisdom."

"At least drinking the wine can increase wisdom. If I can use the effects of the Fountain of Wisdom to raise my Druid level to 18 and obtain the Body of Longevity, even if I lose the wisdom I gained."

"After my lifespan increases, I can slowly repair the lost sparks of wisdom."

Attilan's lips twitched. This kind of borrowing cultivation method seems to be feasible for Druid cultivation.

"But you also said that the Fountain of Wisdom carries the resentment of the dead. Do you think they will kindly watch you break through? Besides, when you get your wisdom back is up to the resentment, right?"

The Wine Woman confidently took out a blueprint.

"Look, my plan is to enhance the wisdom-increasing effect of the Fountain of Wisdom through brewing techniques, while also forming a seal to prevent the Fountain of Wisdom from easily taking away the wisdom I gained."

"Once I reach level 18 and develop the Body of Longevity, I will take a second cup of Wisdom Wine to exchange back the wisdom I gained. The effect of this cup of wine is to minimize the interest they charge when repaying the debt."

Attilan looked at the Wine Woman with admiration.

"Your idea is very impressive. I also have some research on brewing techniques. I feel like there is a possibility of realizing it. You have made great progress in the past two years!"

The Wine Woman snorted coldly.

"This is not a formula developed in the past two years, but my previous achievement. In the past two years, I have mainly studied the Undying Wine. The raw material is the stuff you left behind."

Attilan couldn't help but complain in his heart. What do you mean by the stuff he left behind? It was clearly the Wine Woman and her people who forcibly drew his blood!

The Wine Woman seemed to see through Attilan's heart.

"You didn't lose out either, okay? If I say that drawing your blood is worth 5 points of combat power, then after I brew it into wine and pour it into your mouth, even the worst wine will give you 6 points of combat power."

"That's not important anymore. For the Undying Wine, you have my dragon blood as a material. Although the blood of the Ocean Wyrm is not as good as the Fountain of Immortality, it is also a rare material."

"But I don't remember what wisdom-related materials there are in the forest, right? It seems that there are only two low-level materials, the Star Ladybug and the Purple Star Grass, right? Can they be used to develop the Wisdom Wine formula?"

The Wine Woman smiled slyly and took out a scroll full of ancient aura from her dimensional bag.

"Legend has it that the gods have mastered the spell to enlighten the wisdom of mortals, Enlightenment! An arrogant Archmage believed that he could also master the power of the gods."

"Once, he made a bet with another legendary mage. They chose two stupid Minotaurs to teach them mage knowledge to see who could cultivate the most powerful Minotaur mage, or rather, arcanist."

"Arcanists rely purely on their own wisdom to cast spells, which best reflects the increase in wisdom. This arrogant Archmage naturally had the ability to be arrogant. He actually artificially created the Enlightenment Divine Water with the effect of the Enlightenment spell."

"The raw material used by this Archmage was the Fountain of Wisdom. His Enlightenment Divine Water, like the gods' Enlightenment spell, had no side effects. This undoubtedly aroused the vigilance of the God of Wisdom in that world."

The God of Wisdom must be the most knowledgeable and wise being in this world, but this Archmage was about to surpass him, or the appearance of the Enlightenment Divine Water indicated that he had already surpassed the God of Wisdom.

"If this continues, he will be able to easily leverage the laws mastered by the God of Wisdom and replace the original God of Wisdom to ascend to the throne, right?"

"So, the final fate of this arrogant Archmage is that he was plotted against and killed by the God of Wisdom?"

The Wine Woman smiled disdainfully.

"Perhaps the God of Wisdom was once wise, but after becoming a god, his brain has been filled with arrogance. His schemes were discovered by the Archmage."

"Wise people are arrogant. As the two sides continued to fight, the God of Wisdom lost again and again. Sensing that his divine power was constantly flowing away, the God of Wisdom chose the final madness."

I understand. When Lao Bi and others can't win in a war of words, they overturn the table.

"If he does this, even if the God of Wisdom wins, the laws of wisdom will abandon him, right?"

The Wine Woman took a sip of wine to moisten her throat.

"That's right, but the divine power accumulated by the God of Wisdom is not a power that a mortal Archmage can resist. The final result was that the Archmage detonated the Sky Citadel he had spent hundreds of years building."

"The impact of the Sky Citadel killed the God of Wisdom's avatar. The laws of wisdom were shaken and seriously injured the God of Wisdom. In the end, this God of Wisdom unfortunately fell."

"The reason was that legendary mage who made a bet with the Archmage, who spread all of the Archmage's research results and praised his wisdom. Although he couldn't become the God of Wisdom, he dragged the God of Wisdom down to his death with him."

Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Sky Citadel boss who detonated the hidden backup energy source, he really had the capital to be arrogant.

"Wait a minute, what you're telling me is that you obtained a method for creating Enlightenment Divine Water?"

"Of course not! The method for creating Enlightenment Divine Water is not important. What's important is that the Archmage was already researching how to artificially create the Fountain of Wisdom before he died, and it was one without side effects!"

Once he succeeds, he will probably be able to sit firmly in the position of the God of Wisdom.

The Enlightenment spell requires the consumption of the gods' divine power, and divine power is a very precious resource, but the Fountain of Wisdom, although the probability of its natural birth is even less than that of divine power.

But the cost of the Fountain of Wisdom is lower than that of divine power!

If there is a Fountain of Wisdom without side effects, which god would be willing to expend divine power to use the Enlightenment spell?

"So, what you have is the research data for an artificial Fountain of Wisdom!?"

The Wine Woman nodded.

"That's right, although it's only a part, I think it can still play a role if combined with the Fountain of Wisdom!"

"The part I got records how to purify the side effects of the Fountain of Wisdom, but it's just the Archmage's idea, and the possibility of failure is very high."

"But if it succeeds, we can get a spring that continuously produces Enlightenment Divine Water!"

Attilan patted his cheeks.

"No, we may not be able to mess with this thing. Even if our world doesn't have a God of Wisdom, the gods can't possibly watch mortals master such a spring."

"Moreover, who knows if the Enlightenment Divine Water that is created will completely purify the resentment. If after drinking the Enlightenment Divine Water, people are eroded by negative energy and become evil-minded, and also gain wisdom, and there are many of them."

"The first to suffer will be our Council of Nature. Listen to me, the Fountain of Wisdom is too deep, we can't grasp it, don't mess with it, let's just make Undying Wine."

Wisdom is poisonous, and Attilan doesn't dare to mess with such a thorny thing.
