My bloodline is so eager to improve.

As priests of the Order, they have a duty to lend a helping hand to any friendly fantasy creatures that are trapped.

However, before offering help, you should first find out the other party's background and the problems they are facing.

The fairies were initially wary of this human girl brimming with magic, but when they saw the Shield of Law surrounding Tessa and felt the majestic yet just power belonging to Caleb, the god of law and judgment, their guard immediately dropped by more than half.

An old demon, who looked to be the oldest, slowly flew out, leaning on a small cane made of thin branches.

Its wings were duller than those of the other fairies, with fine lines on them, and the sound was as faint as spider silk, yet very clear:

"They are priests of the god of law and judgment."

With the old demon leading the way, the other demons also gathered around, chattering away like a flock of sparrows:

"We belong to the Jade Court!"

"We are on a pilgrimage to call upon the winter wind!"

"The cold rain last night extinguished the fire!"

"We need fire to continue our lineage, but humans can't see us and can't borrow fire!"

The kids chattered away, each offering their own explanation, and managed to give a rough outline of what had happened.

The fairies flapped their wings and flew around Tessa, their voices full of anxiety.

Tessa could clearly sense that the fluorescence on their bodies was much dimmer than when she first saw them, obviously having consumed too much magic in the cold night.

The temperature in the forest at night is extremely low, and these little creatures that rely on the magic of nature cannot survive for long.

Listening to their stories, Tessa finally understood completely.

She had seen related records in the ancient books of the court. Fairies are a kind of fantasy species that coexist with nature. Among them, the pilgrimage fairies of the major royal courts are even responsible for the seasonal cycle of the continent.

Every time the seasons change, each fairy kingdom sends out pilgrimage teams to various parts of the continent to light fires and chant hymns, hoping for a peaceful arrival of the seasons.

These fairies from the Emerald Court are the pilgrimage team responsible for summoning the winter wind.

They will travel north, lighting pilgrimage torches along the way to guide the arrival of winter.

But as they passed through this forest, a sudden night rain extinguished their core fire, trapping them instantly.

Without the flame, the pilgrimage cannot continue.

Humans cannot see them, so they have no way to ask humans for help. They can only circle around the extinguished fire piles at night, trying to find a solution, but to no avail.

"You need fire, don't you?"

After hearing this, Tessa smiled and pointed behind her.

"Coincidentally, my partner is very good at starting fires."

She turned and waved to Otto at the edge of the clearing:

"Come here, everything has been explained. It was a pilgrimage fairy from the Emerald Court who extinguished the flame."

Hearing Tessa's call, Otto restrained his aura and slowly walked into the open space.

He was tall and had the sharp aura of a warrior. Even when he tried to suppress it, he was still very intimidating to the palm-sized fairy.

The little ones were so frightened that they all hid behind Tessa, only daring to peek at him with half their heads showing.

But at that moment, the demon egg suddenly became excited.

[The demon egg says that emerald fairies are excellent materials; catching them, drying them, grinding them into powder, and eating them little by little can replenish a large amount of magic power!]

The Moonlit Hound cast a disdainful glance at the demon egg, its expression saying, "This damned thing deserves another beating!"

The black cat, realizing that the Emerald Court was one of the largest fairy courts on the continent, controlling most of the natural order, thought to itself.

The black cat that ferry souls stated that while wandering the borders of the underworld, it had encountered their messengers and gained their friendship, which would be of great benefit to its future adventures, advancements, and even access to higher levels of power.

Clearly, the words of the spirit cat are more valuable than the unreliable demon egg.

However, Otto had no intention of gaining anything by scheming against these little guys. He was there to solve the village's problems, and it would be best if he could lend a hand as well.

He ignored the noise in his mind, and carefully extended his right hand. A faint light flashed at his fingertips, and a cluster of warm and bright soul-purifying flames quietly began to burn at his fingertips.

The moment the firelight appeared, all the fairies abruptly stopped their chattering and turned to look.

They were so frightened that they retreated a short distance, and the leading old demon also tensed up, watching the cluster of flames warily.

But the next second, they saw Otto bend down and carefully bring the embers from his fingertips towards the dried otters nestled on the dry wood.

The warm embers followed the dry moss and quickly licked the grain of the dead wood. The orange-red flames slowly rose, and the warm firelight instantly filled the entire forest clearing.

The flame looked bright, but it didn't have the heat of ordinary fire. Instead, it carried a gentle power, and the warmth it spread even dispelled a lot of the chill in the air.

The fairies froze on the spot, staring blankly at the fire pile that had been reignited.

A few seconds later, a burst of soft yet loud cheers erupted.

They flapped their wings and danced joyfully around the flames, their dim emerald green fluorescence illuminating at a visible speed, like a handful of flowing starlight, stunningly beautiful in the dark night.

The leading old demon, accompanied by several other demons, flew to Otto and bowed respectfully to him.

Its voice was filled with genuine gratitude:

"Brave guardian, thank you for your help."

"Your flame is wondrous, containing an ancient and majestic power; we even sensed a dragon-like aura within it."

The fairies love the aura brought by the Soul-Purifying Flame.

With the warmth of the flames, the fairies completely let down their guard, flying around Otto and Tessa, chattering about their experiences over the past few days.

They had previously tried to seek help from the forest rangers at the edge of the forest, but humans could not see them. The rangers could only hear indistinct whispers and not only did not understand what they meant, but also mistook them for evil spirits disturbing the forest.

These past few days, no one in the village has dared to come into the forest. The fairies feel quite guilty, but they can't explain it to them.

"Thanks to you, we are able to continue to fulfill the important task of the royal court and send the winter wind to the north."

As the old demon spoke, he waved the thin twig cane in his hand.

The other fairies immediately sprang into action, producing exquisite lanterns the size of a palm from who-knows-where. They lined up and flew to the fire pit, carefully extracting flames from the main fire and channeling them into their own lanterns.

One by one, lanterns lit up, and fairies carrying lanterns flew in the air, as if carrying a sky full of little stars, which was extremely beautiful.

Once all the lanterns were filled with fire, the old demon flew to the two of them again.

He took out two seeds from his pocket, each shimmering with a bright green fluorescence. The seeds were round and smooth, with a warm luster, and handed them to Otto and Tessa respectively.

"Thank you both for your help with the Jade Court Tour."

Her Majesty the Queen instructed us that we must reciprocate any kindness we receive.

The old demon spoke solemnly, handing the two seeds forward one by one.

He spoke to Tessa first:

"This seed of firefly is a gift for the gentle priest."

Plant this blessing, and a faint light will illuminate your path at night, and the surrounding herbs will actively reveal themselves to you.

After saying that, he turned to Otto and held up another seed:

"This seed of the Emerald Blessing is given to the brave guardian."

The thorns and branches in the forest will never scratch your skin.

The scent of jade will soothe your fatigue.

The moment the two reached out and took the seeds, the two tiny seeds instantly transformed into two beams of emerald green light, merging with their fingertips.

Tessa looked down at the ground and suddenly felt a bright light before her eyes.

The once dim forest was now so clear that even the veins on the grass and the tiny pebbles in the soil were clearly visible, as if it were daytime.

Not only that, she could also vaguely sense that a dozen steps to the southeast, several medicinal herbs were growing.

A strange knowledge slowly entered her mind; it was the instinct to identify plants and trees and to see in the dark, the power brought by the protection of the Jade Court.

She stood there, quietly contemplating the wondrous effects of this blessing, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Otto, on the other side, also felt a surge of energy, and the somewhat stagnant magic within him instantly flowed much more smoothly.

He could clearly feel that the plants and trees around him seemed to exude a friendly aura, and the sound of the wind blowing through the pine branches seemed to be expressing goodwill to him.

A new notification has appeared.

You have received the blessing of the Emerald Court, the Emerald's protection.

[Effect: Natural affinity is greatly increased, the efficiency of absorbing natural magic and the energy of heaven and earth to restore one's condition is significantly improved, all plants and the Emerald Court's followers will be friendly to you and will not actively cause damage]

Feeling the strange changes in his body, Otto's lips curled up slightly.

This nighttime forest adventure yielded far more rewards than expected.

While the two were quietly experiencing the protective power, the fairies had already begun singing the pilgrimage chant around the rekindled Purifying Flame.

The singing voice was delicate and crisp, like the wind blowing through wind chimes, or like the babbling of a mountain stream, so clear and ethereal it was unbelievable.

The song drifted away on the wind, and the plants and trees in the forest seemed to sway gently, exuding a vibrant atmosphere.

Clearly, the fairies were completing their pilgrimage ceremony and it was inappropriate to disturb them.

Otto gave Tessa a wink, and the two quietly slipped out of the forest clearing and headed back the way they came.

Walking along the forest path on the way back, Tessa exuded a sense of ease.

With the protection of the Firefly Seed, the forest at night was no different from that during the day in her eyes. She could even see the dew on the grass by the roadside clearly, making night travel incredibly convenient.

"I never expected that I would receive the protection of the Emerald Court when I came here with you to investigate the strange events."

Tessa's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"It feels like we've met our match this time!"

She had originally gone back to the village with Otto to recuperate from her injuries, and unexpectedly received such a precious blessing from nature, which was a truly delightful surprise.

Otto didn't say anything, but simply reached out to a clump of thorny brambles by the roadside.

To his surprise, the originally menacing thorns actually veered to the side the moment his fingers approached, and the thorn branches also bent slightly, as if they were actively avoiding him.

Otto withdrew his hand, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the effects of this protection.

He nodded and echoed:

"Hmm, the 'Cui Xun' is really good."

He couldn't explain whether it was due to his own innate talent or the influence of the wolf girl in his family.

But in any case, receiving the protection of the Emerald Court is ultimately a good thing.

As they walked, the two discussed how to explain things to the villagers when they got back.

You can't just say there are demons in the forest that ordinary people can't see; that would only cause panic.

It would be better to say that the anomaly in the forest is a natural phenomenon, without any evil spirits or monsters, and that it will not harm anyone, so that everyone can rest assured and continue to chop wood and gather herbs normally.

As they were talking, the two had already walked back to the village.

From afar, Otto could see the lights on in Roxanne's cabin, with warm yellow light reflected in the windows, indicating that the old woman was still awake.

"Honestly, I already told her not to wait for me."

Otto was somewhat helpless.

Grandma Roxanne is getting old, and staying up late is bad for her health.

He quickened his pace and led Tessa inside through the door.

"Grandma, we're back!"

Otto stopped mid-sentence.

He looked at the figure sitting in the living room, a look of surprise on his face.

"Ms. Maeve?"

He was really surprised. Back in Oak Town, after discovering the bronze door and the presence of the undead behind the tailor shop, he asked Phyllis to help him find Maeve and ask about the situation, but he hadn't heard anything. He was planning to wait until he returned to town to investigate further.

Unexpectedly, Maeve actually appeared in Lott Village and was sitting in Grandma Roxanne's house.

Maeve turned around at the sound, saw Otto and Tessa, and froze, her face full of surprise:
