She came from the deep sea, adept at controlling the Water Element and utilizing ocean-related Magic. The force of life within the land was truly hard for her to command.

She felt helpless but was unwilling to make mistakes out of arrogance.

Despite the endless helplessness in her heart, she still voiced the truly reliable solution:

"To completely change all this, perhaps we need some Great Druids who are proficient in this area, as it's through their Magic that the problem can truly be resolved."

Great Druid.

The title bestowed upon Druids after they advance to Legendary status.

They are indeed Nature's favored children, the beings most deeply connected with the Power of Nature.

They are the embodiment of Natural Law. They have a profound understanding and insight into the mysteries of the earth, forests, rivers, and the growth of all things.

Of course, it also differs according to the various sects.

Among Druids, there are also some specific schools of thought, which are very fond of transforming into different races for deep intimate contact...

Except for those exceptions, Great Druids proficient in land can integrate themselves into every inch of the land's texture.

They can precisely sense the internal structure of the soil, even as if knowing the needs of every tiny particle.

These people can skillfully use the Power of Nature to balance the soil's needs, adjusting it to the most suitable state for crop growth.

They can also foster the activation of deeply buried minerals through Nature's Magic, making the heart of the land fertile, even for scarce nutrients.

Yes, for the territory at this moment, what's most needed is not her, the Mermaid Grand Mage, but a Legendary Druid.

Seemingly sensing Fremay's emotional downturn, Herbert spoke softly at the right moment: "Don't worry, the person I need most now is you, and only you."

"Just like you said before, as long as you are here, it's already enough."

"As for the matter of the Great Druids, you don't have to worry, I naturally have a solution."

After Fremay mentioned the Great Druids, Herbert immediately thought of many things.

The simplest is financial recruitment.

Great Druids are also human, no matter how close to Nature, as long as they haven't completely become savages, some of them will need normal food, clothing, and daily needs.

And these people can be recruited, providing certain compensation, they will work according to a contract.

Although he doesn't lack money, for those beings, the price they offer won't be low anywhere.

Moreover, the situation here is somewhat special, it's best not to let them leak it out in a short time.

And the method to ensure someone keeps a secret forever... Haha.

The best method to prevent news from spreading, either shut him up completely or ensure he cannot speak out.

Either dispose of him after use.

Or restrict the personal freedom of the Great Druid.

Both methods have a certain risk.

Another method is to seek a favor from the Ice and Snow Goddess, asking Her to contact someone on behalf.

The Ice and Snow Goddess, although not having specifically trained Great Druids, is a member of the Natural Pantheon.

And in this world, almost ninety percent of Druids believe in Deities of the Natural Pantheon.

Herbert believes that with Her status, She should be able to find some Great Druids specialized in this area.

However, this raises another problem.

What conditions should be proposed to persuade the other side?

To persuade a goddess, the cost should by logic be more than recruiting a Great Druid...

Of course, this is generally speaking.

Herbert thought differently.

Based on Her attitude towards him at the time, he should be able to gain not only a free Priest Order but also some other things.

Hmm.

As for what exactly can be obtained, still depends on the specific operations at that time.

And just as Herbert was contemplating how to showcase his charisma and live a life of leisure...

Sniff, sniff.

"Hmm?"

Fremay suddenly sniffed lightly at Herbert's neck, suspiciously saying: "I feel... you seem to be thinking of other women?"

Whoa!

What a keen sense of smell!

Herbert froze for a moment, then naturally smiled and said: "What are you talking about? You are right by my side, I'm surely thinking of you."

"How could I be thinking of other women?"

Herbert said with a sincere face, and then his dear ally exposed him on the spot.

["A goddess is not a woman, no need to explain, I've said it for you."]

The smile on Herbert's face turned awkward for a moment, then he fiercely said in his heart: "Harmonious God, shut up."

["Hehe~"]

Fremay squinted her eyes at Herbert's expression, thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"Alright? Since you say so, then I'll believe you this time."

Fremay is not Valentina.

She's not stupid.

Such a perfunctory explanation couldn't fool her.

Miss Mermaid could likely feel that Herbert was hiding something; he probably didn't tell her the truth... so be it.

Everyone has some secrets.

After all, the person by his side at this moment is her, that's already enough.

As for those other alluring ones, just wait!

"Oh, by the way, are you only planning to cultivate this part of the land? What about the other areas, how do you plan to handle them?"

Although their actions have changed the vitality of this part of the scorched earth, other areas are still shrouded in dense fog.

If you want to cultivate this wasteland, surely you can't only change this part of the land.

But how to deal with that fog?

As for Fremay's concern, Herbert already had an answer, chuckled, and softly said:

"Of course, it's with... my blood."
