But none of the centaurs behind him were surprised by this.
Instead, they imitated Margaret, bowing to Levin one by one.
Even Bane, who cared most about the dignity of the centaurs, dared not object, and instead looked at Levin with a devout gaze.
The sight of all the centaurs bowing their heads filled Levin with a surge of vanity.
But he quickly suppressed his complacency and hurriedly went to help Margaret up, saying modestly:
“Leader Magri, you flatter me. I am just a half-baked druid who came to the profession later in life. How could I possibly have the ability to guide the centaur tribe?”
"Besides, the era of druids is long gone, so talking about service is going too far... I genuinely consider centaurs my friends, and you treating me like this is just too much for me."
After much persuasion, they finally managed to calm the horsemen down.
Does Levin not know the benefits of subduing centaurs?
Do not,
No.
He knew all too well the implications of subduing the centaurs.
Subduing the centaurs meant he could control the entire Forbidden Forest, and it also meant he would have a force of his own.
But he knew very well that he neither had the ability nor the need to do so.
He lacks ability because he understands very well that any cooperation is essentially based on a match of strengths.
To truly subdue the centaur tribe, he needs to possess power that instills fear in them.
But with his current level 6 wizard, level 4 psionicist, and level 5 druid abilities alone, he cannot achieve this.
Those who attempt to control the centaur tribes by relying on a vague and unfounded ancient contract will inevitably face backlash sooner or later.
After all, this ancient contract is not a slave contract.
It would be better to do someone a favor here, say a few nice words, and try to improve relations with the horsemen.
Once our own strength increases in the future, this ethereal "ancient oath" will become unbreakable.
The reason it's unnecessary is that Levin doesn't currently need to utilize the centaur's violent nature, and he doesn't need to fight anyone.
As for controlling the Forbidden Forest, with the help of the unicorns and the centaurs' friendship, he is perfectly capable of doing so now.
There's no need to go any further.
In short, after Levin's persuasion, Margaret didn't bring up the matter again.
But they revealed to him the so-called ancient contract.
That was during the heyday of Druidism, when Druids who wielded the power of nature formed alliances with a vast array of intelligent beings who also possessed the power of nature.
0???????
Specifically, Druids are obligated to help and guide these natural beings when necessary.
Of course, this is under the premise of not violating the natural balance.
When the balance of nature is disrupted, they must also follow their oath, obey the druids' commands, and fight for nature.
From that time onward, druids became the recognized leaders among these intelligent beings.
The story of druids and oaths has been passed down among them from generation to generation.
"So that's how it is."
Levin nodded.
He basically believed in this vow.
Otherwise, how could the Druid religion have disappeared completely?
After all, I was eliminating the Druids, what does that have to do with your natural balance?
0
Thus, even when the Druid religion became extinct, these intelligent beings did not intervene.
Just kidding.
Levin believed it because Larry had called him "Lord Druid" back then.
From this perspective, the legend is not just the centaur's version of events; at least the unicorns also acknowledge it.
However, since this is true, it leads to another troublesome matter:
"Druids have an obligation to help these natural people when necessary and to guide them."
Levin understood that, regardless of the previous claims of being a "chosen one,"
The centaur performed the same grand salute as before, and emphasized this "ancient oath."
It's all for this reason.
That is, help and guidance from the Druids.
To be honest, Levin did indeed awaken his druidic powers by using the centaurs' stone circle.
It is only right to help the horsemen.
But he also has a lot of other things to do.
Who has the time to come to the centaur tribe every day to help them build their homes?
But if he wanted to maintain good relations with the centaurs, he had to do this.
We can't just get something for free.
Levin pondered for a moment and had an idea:
“I think it would be better if, Mr. Margaret, I trained a druid of your own for the centaur tribe. What do you say?”

Chapter 71 Daisy the Centaur
Levin's suggestion to train druids for the centaur tribe was not a pipe dream.
The Scholar's Moonstone in his possession was originally the key to mastering the Druidic lineage.
After inheriting the legacy and gaining enlightenment, Levin himself became a druid.
Naturally, one can also freely manipulate the Scholar Moonstone to pass on the power of the Druid to others in the same way.
Of course, Levin doesn't intend to inherit the half-baked Druid style of the Harry Potter world.
That kind of druid not only cannot perfectly utilize the power of nature, but also only wizards can do this part-time, which is really ridiculous.
If he's going to teach, he must teach a true messenger of nature, a druid.
In this way, the centaur tribe can always have the guidance of druids.
It's a win-win situation: you don't need to bother him, yet you still owe him a favor.
"Really? You're really willing to train a druid for the centaurs?!"
Upon hearing the little wizard's words, Margaret was overjoyed.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Originally, he only hoped that the other party, as a druid, could occasionally help the centaurs with small favors and solve some things that were very troublesome for the centaurs but were easy for druids.
For example, using [neutralizing toxins] to remove ailments and toxins that the horse people cannot resolve.
For example, you can use [Plant Growth] to catalyze the growth of important herbs.
For example, you can use [Natural Purification] to resolve some difficult-to-handle curses.
For example, the "Eye of Heaven" can be used to help predict celestial phenomena.
For example, you can use the "Dominate Animals" ability to help tame some reliable wild beasts.
and many more…
All of the above tasks are things that the Horseman is simply unable to accomplish due to his limited abilities.
If a druid could lend a helping hand, the centaur tribe's development would immediately take a leap forward.
There are actually many more specific and routine tasks, such as clearing obstacles, sculpting rocks, and breeding and taming animals. Margaret wanted to ask Levin for help, but that was wishful thinking. Levin wasn't a centaur, so why should he help him?
But having your own druid is different.
If druid spells could be more deeply integrated into the daily lives of the centaur tribe, the tribe's development would rise by more than two levels.
In the epics passed down by the centaurs, this kind of thing never happened.
No creature other than humans has ever possessed the abilities of a druid.
That's to be expected, since the druid class in this world, though somewhat rudimentary, is essentially based on wizarding power.
Centaurs don't have the magic of wizards, so naturally they can't learn this trick.
If Levin can truly accomplish this, then he is not just an ordinary chosen one, but an exceptionally good person, worthy of being celebrated in epic tales by the centaurs.
In short, in Margaret's eyes, Levin's reputation had risen from respect to worship.
So he immediately bowed again and said, "If Lord Levin can really raise a son of the oak tree for the centaur tribe, then my entire tribe will obey your every command without question!"
The oak tree holds a special place in Druidism, so the son of the oak tree is often used as a metaphor for a Druid.
Levin waved his hand: "You're too kind, you're too kind. I was just doing this for my own convenience, it's not as good as you think."
Before the other party could continue praising him, Levin said directly, "Of course, becoming a druid isn't so easy; certain conditions need to be met."
“What should we do?” Margaret asked.
“How about this, next, please bring all the young and middle-aged centaurs in the tribe to me one by one, and I will choose the most suitable one to teach the power of druid.”
"No problem, Lord Levin, I'll have them come over right away!"
With good fortune on its horizon, Margaret couldn't wait to make arrangements, eager to have her own druid as soon as possible.
Under his personal command, the entire centaur tribe, all the younger generation of centaurs, all the foals, and even the newborn babies, all passed before Levin.
