Aishe Moon Song, a master of natural magic, arrives at the research institute. Initially wary of the necromancers, she observes their vaccine production methods, which involve the large-scale, seemingly cruel killing of mice and chicks. Garrett explains their need for her expertise to improve chick embryo survival rates, prompting Aishe to agree to help, but only if Garrett studies nature magic with her.

"The temperature is too low, it's uncomfortable. Raise it by 0.1 degrees."

"Not enough, adjust again."

"Adjust again."

"This box is too hot. Lower it by 0.1 degrees."

"Adjust again."

"Turn them over."

"Turn them over."

With each command she gave, the necromancer in charge of the eggs followed with an action. Adjusting, recording, observing, and recording again...

The group of necromancers quickly transitioned from "Why is this elf suddenly here to instruct us?" to "She seems to have some skills," and within days, to "Whoa, this elf is amazing!"

They had been working tirelessly to raise eggs, and not to mention losing half, but on a good day, they'd lose about 20%, and on a bad day, over 30%. This elf, with her hands behind her back, walked through the egg room, seemingly without looking, giving a series of commands...

Following her instructions, out of a batch of 100 eggs, only 3 died! Just 3!

Why didn't you come to instruct us earlier... If you had come earlier, we wouldn't have been working in vain every day and getting scolded by the head archmage!

The necromancers looked at Aishe Moon Song with eyes full of reverence, almost wanting to kneel and worship her or place her on a pedestal. Aishe Moon Song looked at Garrett with eyes full of frustration, as if wishing she could shove him into an egg to be remade...

"Do you feel it?"

"Do you feel the signs of life in these eggs?"

"Do you feel if the chick is cold or hot?"

"Which egg in this batch is about to die?"

"Why so slow?! Being insensitive to nature will be a big disadvantage on the battlefield!"

"Are you really a Level 10 Nature Priest? Your perception is worse than an apprentice!"

Garrett: t_t I can feel it if I must, I really can... Isn't this just laziness... With so many necromancers to help, why must it be me...

Besides, I won't stay in this research institute forever, I need to hand things over to them! Setting up the process and teaching them how to research should be enough, right?

It's not like every research project will have a Nature Priest to help. Grand Archmage Haines hasn't written back to secure a fixed cooperation with the Nature Church...

After finishing her round in the egg room, Aishe Moon Song went through the mouse area, rabbit area, and monkey area. She smiled gently, pressing her fingertip against the glass:

"Good..."

The mice, rabbits, and monkeys, usually either stressed or unresponsive, all came up to the glass, rubbing against it. Garrett watched nervously:

"Moon Song, don't give them natural power! Changing their constitution will alter the experimental results!"

"Who gave them natural power?" Aishe Moon Song rolled her eyes at Garrett:

"As a Nature Priest, even if I suppress my aura, animals will naturally be drawn to me! Can't you do it? How can you not do it? Come, try it!"

"...I feel like they will die in my hands..." Garrett walked over with a worried face, muttering:

"If not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then someday in the future... Anyway, raising them is for the purpose of letting them die..."

Aishe Moon Song glared at him coldly. Garrett, with a pained expression, pressed his hand against the glass, slightly releasing his presence:

Sure enough, the mice scattered, some burrowing into the wood shavings, others sticking to the opposite cage wall. A few, overly panicked, even overturned the water trough, soaking themselves.

Garrett had to use a cleansing spell to dry their fur. Then, he stood up straight and spread his hands towards Aishe Moon Song:

It's not that I'm not trying, but the mice just don't cooperate. Please don't push me anymore, pushing me won't achieve anything but scaring a few mice to death...

Aishe Moon Song sighed deeply. As a high-ranking Nature Servant, she naturally sensed Garrett's aura at that moment:

Natural affinity was genuine, and the fear of harming these mice, whether by his own hands or under his orders, was also genuine. This kind of aura, naturally emitted and sensed by the mice, causing their panic and fear, was normal...

To emit such an aura meant Garrett's natural affinity was actually quite strong—he just didn't know how to use it. She decided to take him out of the research institute for further training in the surrounding forests!

With this in mind, after organizing the entire egg incubation process, Aishe Moon Song began dragging Garrett out of the institute to train in the surrounding areas. Soon, this elven forest guardian was in for another shock:

"You... need to actively initiate to hear nature, to listen to the voices of plants and animals? Isn't the sound of nature always surrounding you?"

"You... don't know if this tree's fruit is edible? Don't know if touching this leaf will sting? Don't know if this ant will bite? Didn't they tell you?"

"You... walk so clumsily in the forest? Where is your shapeshifting spell? What? You don't know any?! Even a human Level 5 Nature Priest should know at least one shapeshifting spell!"

In Aishe Moon Song's concept, elves on the path of communing and serving nature would naturally traverse forests, climb, jump, and swim with ease;

Soon, they would learn their first shapeshifting spell—usually wolf form, though some chose bear or deer forms;

As they matured—around the time they could leave the forest independently—they typically mastered two or three beast forms, with exceptional ones mastering a flying form.

Of course, some chose to transform into plants, or study partial shapeshifting—growing an extra pair or two of arms, a unicorn's horn, or a pair of powerful wings;

Like herself, she could freely switch between black panther, wolf, bear, hawk, several small cat forms, and giant snake forms.

The strongest elders could even transform into dragons, high-level magical beasts, or element giants...

Garrett was already a Level 10 Nature Priest, yet he knew none of these?!

"Learn it! Practice it!—Within this month, at least learn one, or don't expect any more help from me!"

Garrett: t_t

I really don't know shapeshifting spells!

I just can't do it!

The council has spell models, various ones, from common templates to private collections;

The inheritance from the Oak Staff includes several shapeshifting spells—wolf, panther, deer;

In the heritage site on Aeolan Island, he was also imbued with a lot of knowledge...

But I can't learn it! I just can't, what can I do! The spell model can be constructed, but every time I try to cast it, it fails every single time!

"Hurry and transform!" Aishe Moon Song suddenly shifted into a black panther:

"Transform, run!—If you can't outrun me, I'll bite you!"

"Waaah—"
