Through this trial at the Elf Ancient Tree, John had obtained the Life Mage class, while Sain had obtained the Druid class.
Do not assume that because Sain had originally been an Elf Druid, the Druid class was useless to him.
The same applied to John. Wood Elf mages were essentially Life Mages by nature, and even their mana possessed the life attribute.
But even if you knew every True Word Spell provided by those classes, there was still at least a fifteen-to-thirty percent gap in overall combat power between someone with a class and someone without one!
That was because every class came with passive enhancements. It did not simply give you a spell—it directly granted you an entire system.
Not to mention that you might not even possess every spell within the class.
At present, Great Zhou was not at war. Previously, the main task of the Wood Elf mage corps had been to assist the desertification control department in stabilizing and expanding the areas of vegetation around Great Zhou's various oasis bases in the desert.
After some time, the preliminary work had basically been completed. From then on, it would mainly depend on the desertification control department's daily maintenance.
Under these circumstances, there was nothing wrong with sending the Wood Elf mages to the Elf Forest to cultivate for a while.
Although they had spent a long time working on desertification control and greening, one should not forget that they were, at heart, still a military unit. Improving their strength and assisting Great Zhou's troops in battle during wartime was their first priority.
In fact, it was not only the Wood Elf mage corps. Later on, Zhou Xu planned to have every elf within Great Zhou undergo a round of inheritance trials at the Elf Ancient Tree.
