It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right?

Gretel stared blankly at the oak staff in his hand.

Turn it sideways, weigh it, stand it up again, and poke it on the ground. The weight is heavy in the hand, and the tree trunk held in the palm is smooth and green, like a small tree that has just grown and has not had time to withstand the wind and rain.

From the trunk to the top of the tree, there are no branches. Only the two green leaves at the top of the tree are tightly closed. At first glance, they look more like carved decorations.

This is...my...oak staff?

Grete turned around to ask. When his eyes fell on Elder Erwin, he was immediately shocked: "Teacher!"

The old man seemed to be dehydrated. All the color on his face was gone, the wrinkles were several times darker, and his beard was dripping with sweat. He used an oak staff to support his body and stood precariously on the spot, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

When the green buds were sprouting, the heat that poured into the back of the neck was undoubtedly the handiwork of the old man. How much did Elder Erwin spend on his oak staff?

"teacher……"

Grete rushed up to help the old man. As soon as his fingers touched him, he was thrown away. Elder Erwin laughed and held his wrist with his backhand. Although tired, he was in high spirits and extremely proud:

"You don't know! Little Grete, you don't know! Only the best apprentices can use this spell! That old Heath guy has been showing off to me for so long! Now it's finally my turn! - Come on ,try it yourself!"

The fingers were as hard as iron hoops. Grete struggled for a while, but he couldn't shake it off, and he didn't dare to shake it hard. Following the teacher's instructions, he silently thought about it, soaked his spiritual power into the oak staff, and released the healing technique. A blur of white light shone from the green leaves at the head of the staff. Grete felt it carefully and reported in a low voice:

"Casting the spell is smoother...the consumption is also smaller...it feels like, well, it seems that the consumption has been reduced by at least 10%..."

"anything else?"

The elder urged. Grete frowned and let his spiritual power go up and down in the oak staff, and suddenly he was shocked:

"Is this alive?!"

"Yes! This is alive!" Elder Erwin stroked his beard and smiled. He turned and stared at the wooden staff in his hand, with a gentle look on his face, as if staring at his most trustworthy comrade:

"This is a method that our Natural God Church only has! It's unique! Little Grete, you see it as a wooden stick, but in fact it is alive! It will grow! You keep it with you and meditate with it all the time. Use it to cast spells, and its abilities will grow with you without losing a step!"

The initial level reduces the cost of casting spells by 10% and can be grown - with these two attributes, it is already a proper orange weapon. Gretel was secretly speechless, holding an oak staff in his hand, and bowed deeply to Elder Erwin:

"Teacher, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

"Teacher, I believe you don't know how." Elder Erwin stretched out his hand to lift him up, patted his shoulder, and said with emotion:

"Your health depends on you, your life depends on you - this is one of the greatest oaths I have ever heard. As long as you can keep practicing it, this oak staff has not been entrusted to the wrong person. Well, now that you have upgraded , the staff is also here, and it’s time to teach you some new spells..."

The old man took him down the mountain slowly, walking slowly and talking leisurely. Naturalism reveres and worships nature, and a large part of their magical arts are related to nature——

Communicate with plants, communicate with animals, stimulate the growth of plants, appease animals, and activate the elemental power of nature...

If they weren't all the same "great god of nature", Gretel would have thought that these people were the druids who jumped over collectively.

…It’s none of my business anyway.

Anyway, what I believe in is not nature, nor the god of nature. And the teacher also acquiesced. As long as they don't cheat in public, it doesn't matter whether they are priests or druids.

The only impact is that there are more spells to learn, or to learn.

Uh, it seems like too many...

Elder Erwin took Gretel, walking and talking, and talking as he walked. Although he had suffered a lot just now, he was still able to walk until Grete's legs were weak and exhausted. He suspected that he had walked 30,000 steps today, so he slowed down and pointed forward:

"That's all the commonly used magic at level 1. Let's go to the front to rest and have something to eat."

Grete followed his hand. There happens to be a small open space on the mountain road ahead, with flat ground and a stream below. There are some tree stumps and a few large and small rocks scattered in the open space, most of which are occupied by passers-by taking a rest.

As soon as Elder Erwin and Gretel arrived, someone immediately stood up and offered their seats. The elder waved his hand to refuse, and sat down with Gretel at the edge of the open space, giving Gretel a wheat cake and a bag of water.

Gretel quickly drank some water, returned the water bag to the teacher, and started the late lunch. The wheat biscuits are rough and dry, and there probably isn't a drop of oil in them. Fortunately, some salt is added. Grete tried hard to bite it, chewed a few mouthfuls, and swallowed it. His face was distorted due to choking.

It's so pitiful that he hasn't eaten such coarse food for a long time since he became a mage's apprentice!

Gretel straightened his neck and swallowed a mouthful of wheat cake, then started chewing a second bite. Suddenly he turned around and saw a little girl of three or four years old standing next to him, holding her fingers in her mouth and looking eagerly at the wheat cake in his hand.

The little girl's clothes were ragged, the hem of the burlap waistcoat was stranded, and her legs were bare underneath. She has a sallow face and thin muscles, her arms are as thin as reed sticks, and her belly bulges upward, which is obviously the result of long-term hunger. Gretel felt soft and tore a piece of wheat cake to her:

"Little sister, are you hungry?"

The little girl's eyes immediately lit up, she swayed, and reached out to take it. Before I received it, a voice sounded from behind:

"Eva! No!"

Eva's hand immediately retracted. Gretel looked around and saw a 30-year-old woman sitting not far away. She was thin, covered in dust, and her clothes were patched everywhere. Little Eva looked at her, then looked at the wheat cake in Grete's hand reluctantly, then turned and ran back.

Gretel quickly grabbed her. He held little Eva with his left hand, raised the oak staff beside him with his right hand, and said loudly: "It's okay, madam. My little sister is hungry, I just give her some food!"

The woman looked at Gretel carefully, her eyes moving around him and then around Elder Erwin's oak staff. Finally, she lowered her head, closed and separated her hands, and made a substandard prayer gesture:

"Thank you to the God of Nature for your grace."

"Thank you to the God of Nature." Seven or eight men and women responded unevenly in the open space.

Grete took advantage of the situation and put the wheat cake into Eva's hand. Watching her take small bites, she smiled crookedly from the corner of her eyes, feeling that the wheat cake in her hand was also delicious. Hey, luckily I am wearing the priest robe of the Church of Nature today. If I were wearing the mage robe, I wouldn’t be able to give away these wheat cakes.

Eva cherished the cornmeal cake after finishing it, looked around, and skipped to the other side of the mountain road. She stood on tiptoes, struggled to climb down a wild flower, turned around and raised her hand to Gretel:

"Big brother!"

Gretel smiled back. He stared at little Eva with a smile, watching her happily running over, the white flowers in her hands swaying. As he watched, his smile suddenly turned into horror:

"careful!!!"

In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage came at full speed.
