Sword and Magic and Taxi

Joseph nodded, seemingly unsurprised. Since you have received preliminary training as a druid, it is reasonable to want to continue training. Originally, it was quite troublesome to switch affiliations between various druid communities, but you come from another world, so Save yourself all this trouble.”

Zhao Mai put his most sincere smile on his face.

Different Druid communities have different ecological environments, and of course they have different thoughts and concepts. Can you introduce the philosophy of your original community?

Who can know this? Zhao Mai made up his own origins, and now he is about to face censorship. Zhao Mai licked the corners of his mouth, his mind running rapidly.

What theme should I choose? Let industry get out and long live nature? This is obviously radical and may not necessarily become mainstream. Moreover, Joseph is now in the town of Nebo, and the Druid community here has a good relationship with the town, so this kind of slogan should not be used.

Discover your own balance and study the true meaning of nature? This one is applicable to everyone, but it is also a bit too mysterious and not suitable for the secular Druid community. It is more like the style of the hermit sect. Zhao Mai doesn't want others to regard him as a pure researcher and thinker. His main purpose is to learn healing spells.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and had a good idea in his mind. Druidry is a profession, but it is also a culture, with its own worldview and methodology. It is close to nature and wilderness, and it studies the balance of the world. But if we really talk about the way of balance, the little druid is not ranked high.

Our philosophy there is that Tao follows nature, and the best is like water.

If it were not for telepathy, these eight words would never be translated into common language. The moment Zhao Mai finished speaking, Joseph felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole spirit was emptied. All his perceptions of the outside world disappeared, and there were only those eight words in his mind: Tao follows nature, and the best is as good as water.

Countless information hit his thoughts like a continuous tide, and the eight words seemed to contain endless truths. He clearly felt that all this information was the essence of the essence, containing the supreme way, but he just couldn't grasp it and couldn't turn it into his own understanding.

It's like coming to a golden mountain. Even if you can get even a fraction of it, you will become rich and fulfilled. But there is an invisible wall in the middle, which brings endless regret and nostalgia.

Joseph couldn't breathe and his face turned red. It wasn't until Zhao Mai realized something was wrong and called him gently that he finally returned to normal. The druid was breathing heavily, showing no restraint. He grabbed Zhao Mai's sleeve and said, What did you mean by that sentence just now?

Well, it's hard to explain it clearly in words. It's a kind of realization. I can only tell it in my own language, and I can't translate it into common language for the time being. Do you want to listen?

Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly!

Oh... Zhao Mai snickered inwardly, then shook his head, pretending to be intoxicated, and excerpted a part of the Tao Te Ching, deliberately reversing the order:

Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. It can be named, but it is not named...Tao gives birth to one. Two gives birth to three. Three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is in harmony. The best is like water. Water is good and benefits all things without fighting. He lives in a good place, has a good heart, is good and benevolent, speaks good faith, governs righteously and well, does good things and can do good things at the right time. He does not fight, so he is not special...

Before Joseph could finish listening to a few words, he passed away with a ga sound.

Zhao Mai squatted down, stretched out his hand to test his breath, and felt the heartbeat on his neck. Hey! It's too easy to faint! It's just a few lines from the Tao Te Ching, what else? In line with the concept of respecting the old and loving the young, he moved Joseph under the ginkgo tree and adjusted a comfortable bed for him. Lying down, then sitting back at the slate table, waiting for him to wake up.

The way of eating cheese and wine is very popular in this world, but Zhao Mai can't adapt to it. So he separated this way of eating. He was responsible for the wine, and the food reserve was responsible for the cheese. In recent days, the reserve grain has grown rapidly, the body frame is expanding, but the hair has become shorter. When you enter and exit, the size seems to be about the same as before, but the actual content is much richer.

If you touch it with your hands, you can often pull out some old hairs. The new hairs are slightly harder than before, but they are still very comfortable to touch. When the food reserve is fine, he likes to get under Zhao Mai's palm and let him rub his back. If Zhao Mai has something on his hands, he can just rub the soles of his feet when he reserves food. He is not picky. It gradually grows up, and when its teeth are replaced, it can be considered an adult dog.

It doesn't look like dog meat, either in face shape or tail shape. The breed of dog meat seemed to be a golden retriever, and the reserve food looked like a floppy Akita dog at first, but as the limbs grew, it gradually lost its cute and silly look and became more like a pastoral dog. But this is not a big deal to Zhao Mai, as long as he is still by his side.

Reserve food, do you think I can join the Druid? If I can learn to establish a natural bond, I will definitely choose you as my animal companion, just like Carl chose dog meat.

Wow! Reserve Liang licked Zhao Mai's hand, then turned over and exposed his belly.

Scratching the soft flesh on his belly, he kicked up his hind legs with the comfort of storing food. It feels that it is very happy, and naturally it never wants to be separated from Zhao Mai. Following this owner, I saw scenery I had never seen before and felt incomparable care. The only thing I worry about is that the master is too weak, and I need to protect him well, otherwise it will be bad if he accidentally kills him.

A man and a dog were sitting there playing, and this scene also fell into Joseph's eyes. As a great druid, his body is quite tough. Even if he is knocked unconscious, he will wake up quickly. Hearing Mike's story just now, the telepathic signal gave him too much impact, and even shocked his natural heart. This is a very rare situation. He wanted to know more information from Zhao Mai, but the first thing was to see if this person had the potential to become a Druid.

The only criterion for judging potential is whether it can live in harmony with natural animals. So after Joseph woke up, he did not speak out immediately, but secretly observed the interaction between Zhao Mai and his pet dog. Even if Zhao Mai can disguise his character and personality, dogs can't. His emotions and sorrows will always be revealed naturally. The interaction between one person and one dog has shown tacit understanding and harmony, and Zhao Mai is qualified to become a Druid.

After thinking about this, he pretended to have just woken up and stretched hard.
