Sword and Magic and Taxi

This is a store rarely visited by people, with a few vegetables on the few shelves. Zhao Mai picked up a few things casually. The cucumbers were so soft that they could be whipped like a whip. The skin of the tomatoes began to wrinkle, showing symptoms of dehydration. Only things that are shelf-stable, like potatoes and carrots, look better.

The person who looks after the store is a dwarf, who has long fallen asleep in the dull environment. The black cat jumped past the dwarf, and with a flick of its tail, removed a bunch of keys from his belt. Afterwards, the black cat jumped over the counter, and its figure suddenly grew larger, turning into the image of a middle-aged man.

He wore light brown leather armor, and used leather trousers and boots to protect his legs. A wooden staff nearly two meters long was inserted diagonally behind his back, and there was no other equipment other than that.

The person transformed from the black cat motioned to Zhao Mai to lower his voice, then lifted up a brick on the wall behind the counter and inserted the key. After twisting forcefully clockwise, a secret door opened silently on the floor. The man broke off a candle end from the wall and walked in first. Zhao Mai followed him closely with strong curiosity.

The secret door slowly closed behind them. The man pinched it with his fingers, and the candle gave off a flickering light, just enough to illuminate the path under his feet. The wooden stairs led them to a basement that smelled of wine. It was probably an underground wine cellar. But now that it has been converted into a food store, a large amount of cheese has taken over the shelves.

Please help me get it. The middle-aged man didn't need to open his mouth. Tianyutong plus telepathy was indeed very convenient. Zhao Mai watched him find a big plate, pick out a few pieces of cheese, and find two pears and a bottle of wine from nowhere. Then the two men and the dog left from the other end of the cellar.

After climbing dozens of stone steps and opening a sliding door, Zhao Mai found himself in a patio courtyard. There are walls of houses on all sides, and no other entrances or exits are found except for sliding doors. Two ginkgo trees grow in the center of the courtyard. They have been entangled in the process of growth and are difficult to separate from each other. The difference can only be seen from the leaves. One leaf remains green, while the other one has begun to turn yellow.

There are two stone pillars and three thick trunks under the tree, surrounded by a smooth stone slab. The man put the cheese plate on the stone slab, put down the wine, and showed Zhao Mai a pear in each hand: Which one do you want to eat? Just pick one.

Zhao Mai picked one up casually, wiped it on his body and took a bite. It's been a long time since he's had fruit, and except for apples, most fruits don't last long. Pears are juicy and sweet, a rare treat.

Why choose that one instead of this one?

Pears are for eating, not for causing problems. Zhao Mai replied, spraying pear juice.

I like your answer. The man took a bite of the pear and chewed it with a smile. Another benefit of spiritual communication is that you don't delay eating. Even if you bite the pear in your mouth, his words still fall into Zhao Mai's ears word for word.

I introduced myself when we last met. Druid Joseph of Farmer's Forest, nice to meet you. He pointed to his face, and then transmitted the message: I know you don't like to look at the old man, so I’ll use this face to see you.”

Zhao Mai stretched out his hand: Hello, my name is Mike. Nice to meet you. I am very interested in you druids, whether it's magic or natural transformation.

Oh, what else do you know about Druids? Joseph shook hands with Zhao Mai and asked curiously.

Uh... I don't know if I can explain it clearly. I probably also know that druids have natural intelligence, natural bonds, wild identity, traceless walking through the woods, resistance to natural temptations, immunity to poisons, a thousand faces, and immortality Body. Due to the existence of the latter two abilities, I cannot determine your true age.

The shock in Druid's heart could not be greater. The words Zhao Mai said were not correct, but the information transmitted through telepathy was completely correct. This is the benefit of telepathic communication, which can help two people overcome language barriers. But it was precisely because of this that the Druid was truly shocked, which showed that the young man opposite completely understood the meaning of each Druid skill.

Every Druid will have his or her own insights during training. As age and experience increase, these insights will become theoretical guidance for them to understand the world and transform themselves. Accumulated from generation to generation, druids call those insights that can help newcomers improve and are easiest to produce results as skills, which are used to determine the level of druids. However, this set of skills has always been used internally by druids, and is rarely spread, let alone systematically leaked like this.

Have you ever been trained as a druid before?

Zhao Mai pondered for a moment, his expression looked a little dull, but his mind was running rapidly. He realized that in his excitement, he had talked a bit too much, but unexpectedly, the druid opposite him thought that he was the same type of person as him.

Druids are very powerful and have a lot of history. They can almost be regarded as the earliest spellcasters. When they appeared, it was a wild world of elements and nature, and even the gods could not form their own realm.

Intelligent creatures need to use nature, transform nature, and conquer nature. The first thing is to understand nature. The wisdom that exists in forests, plains, mountains, rivers and oceans is a great force that appeared earlier than civilization. Through the perception of this power, the most primitive magic appears. It appears earlier than the concepts of arcane and divine magic. It is the force of nature, and its followers and defenders are druids.

Druids have the power of healing and can also use the power of lightning, fire and other elements. They can communicate with plants, make friends with wild animals, and learn and master a large amount of knowledge related to nature. With the help of the first druids, civilization began to be established and wisdom accumulated. Later, arcane and divine magic slowly appeared on this basis. Dragons mastered the earliest magic, and elves formed a system and carried it forward. The gods who formed the realm gradually appeared, began to spread faith, and gained followers. But the druid still stayed in the wilderness, looking out of place.

They are often misunderstood and sometimes deliberately misinterpreted. But everyone knows that druids control the forces of nature and rise up against anyone who dares to threaten their land, not hesitate to show the power of the wilderness to the civilized people hiding behind the castle walls. They have a devotion to nature, strive for balance and the path of reincarnation, and possess extraordinary powers.

For Zhao Mai, having extraordinary power is enough to arouse his interest. Considering his own considerations, a druid with healing abilities can undoubtedly help his father and get rid of his illness. This is an overwhelming reason.

Mages are basically always the most awesome. Zhao Mai knows this, but it is still unclear how far someone who is accustomed to scientific thinking can go on the path of being a mages. Having been atheistic for more than 20 years, I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy for me to be a pastor. Of the three major spellcasting professions, Druid seems to be the most approachable.

My training ended as soon as it started. Zhao Mai said solemnly: I am not a native of this world. I just started learning balance theory in my world, and then I arrived here due to an accident. I really want to tell you Learn and go further on the path of nature. Please let me join!”
