Chapter 86: Chapter 37 The Four Seasons Wind Meditation Method, The Call of Nature
Days went by, and as time passed, the forest became increasingly cold.
Now, in the evenings and mornings, autumn frost had already begun to appear in the forest.
Even the Garden Secret Realm was affected, its temperature inevitably dropping a few degrees, but with the steadiness of constant temperature magic, it still maintained a suitable warmth.
The autumn sun was no longer so warm, shining through the glass window, casting a frost-red hue of maple leaves on the floor of the Prayer House.
It gave the usually serene and sacred Prayer House a touch of autumnal melancholy.
Char sat cross-legged in front of the Prayer Tablet, with a beautifully bound magic book written on grass parchment laid out before him, its surface inlaid with a large number of precious plant branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits, and reinforced with powerful spells, making it indestructible and impervious to water and fire.
This was the most important book left by Kedel, and it was crucial for Char to become a Natural Prophet.
“Call of Nature—The Path of the Natural Prophet,” that was the name of the book.
Now, Char had begun to recognize it.
Freyja was a great teacher, patient and gentle, while Char was a good student—smart, perceptive, and able to focus deeply on learning, truly dedicating several hours every day to the arduous study of the Elf Language.
Additionally, the Elf Language shared some similarities with the common tongue of the Siran Continent, so Char had made rapid progress over the past few days.
It wasn’t the instant progress of “Deep Blue, add a point!” but it was much more efficient than his previous life’s English learning, where he was still considered a top student.
Thus, Char was quite satisfied with his progress in learning the Elf Language.
With the learning of the Elf Language going well, it was also time to start learning magic.
Right now, Char was attempting his first magic practice—on one hand, Freyja helped with translation, and on the other hand, his own reading and understanding meant he had a general idea of what a Mage’s practice involved.
In simple terms, a spellcaster’s practice revolved around two aspects: one was the accumulation of magic power, and the other was the construction of magic models.
Among them, the accumulation of magic power was especially important.
Magic power was the foundation for casting spells. Without magic power, one couldn’t cast spells.
Even professions known for physical attacks had their own magic pools; for example, Rangers had a certain ability to cast spells.
To acquire magic power, one needed to meditate, and different spellcasting professions had different meditation methods, which varied greatly in the types of magic power accumulated, efficiency, etc.
The meditation method for Natural Prophets was called “Four Seasons Wind,” a high-level technique.

High-level meant that it was much more powerful than the average meditation method, and it was the basis for Natural Prophets to be stronger than most other spellcasting professions. But on the other hand, it also indicated its difficulty.
Therefore, Char was somewhat apprehensive.
This was also the reason he had chosen the Prayer House as the location for his first meditation.
On one hand, it ensured that no external disturbances could reach him, as no being could enter the Prayer House without his permission.
On the other hand, the Prayer House was a place where many miracles had been created, and Char felt that performing his first meditation here might increase his chances of success, even if just a little.
One might consider it a kind of mental reliance.
Finally, feeling prepared, Char took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and following the steps outlined in “Call of Nature,” began to focus his mind, attempting to visualize the Four Seasons Wind.
Outside the Prayer House, Freyja looked at the closed door with a concerned expression.
Previously, Char had generously offered that she, too, could try cultivating to become a Natural Prophet if she wished. But after briefly considering it, she rejected the tempting proposal.
She was different from Char; it hadn’t been long since Char became an archer, and due to his amnesia, he was like a blank slate.
She had been a Ranger for too long, with many deeply ingrained habits; it was not something that could be changed easily by switching professions.
After all, there was a very big difference between Rangers and Mages; they were two separate systems.
Furthermore, she was already advanced in her own path, so there was even less reason for her to switch.
However, even though she didn’t intend to become a Natural Prophet, she had some understanding of the Four Seasons Wind meditation method, simply because she had been translating it for Char. Even with her rudimentary knowledge, she could profoundly feel the difficulty of this method.
Therefore, Freyja was very concerned about Char’s attempt inside the Prayer House, and had already thought of ways to comfort him should he fail.
Besides Freyja, Betty, the Star Worm, Lantern Firefly, Clover Mantis, and Rain Sound Kingfisher were also waiting outside the Prayer House, concerned for Char’s first attempt.
Inside the Prayer House, sitting cross-legged on the ground, Char now wore an expression of profound serenity; however, the meditation process was not going smoothly. As soon as a hint of color formed in his mind, before he could stabilize it, it began to flicker like a poorly connected TV screen, and then disappeared.
This was the second step in the Four Seasons Wind meditation method; the first step was to calm the mind and visualize the color, which Char had done quite smoothly. But this second step, he had attempted many times already, and hadn’t yet succeeded.
