Sword and Magic and Taxi

Along the narrow and pitted simple road, Zhao Mai drove north quickly, passing travelers riding mules or driving ox carts. Most of the people who use these means of transportation and draw their weapons when they see a taxi are adventurers. You may be just starting out, or you may have had several successful experiences, saved some money, and been able to buy a car for the team.

Adventurers are not afraid of walking. After all, the farther and more dangerous it is, the less people are competing for the mission. The reason why I bought a car is to avoid insufficient carrying capacity and not be able to transport the loot and turn it into money. For adventurers, almost anything that can be moved is a trophy, even an old tablecloth has its own value.

The utilitarian nature of adventurous actions is very clear, whether it is money, fame, faith or love. Because of this, any challenge that can bring about the above four gains is a good challenge, while a challenge that lacks all of them is a bad challenge. What adventurers fear most is wasting their efforts, so five monsters have been selected as the Black Five, which are the kind of monsters that are difficult to fight and poor.

Elements, undead, mud monsters, plants and structures are lucky enough to be on the list. They have become the kind of existence that adventurers sigh and moan as if they are cursed, and are the least willing to face them. If it needs to be ranked in the sixth category, then the Lamashtu aberrations that are rampant in the Farmer's Forest can be included in the list. The Mother of Monsters loves to create all kinds of twisted, blasphemous and evil monsters, constantly pushing the limits of ugliness and weirdness. Most monsters are born to disgust people, so naturally they don't bring any trophies to make people like them.

Therefore, in the adventurer camp near Farmer's Forest, everyone was resting, waiting for the Silver Crusaders to send the bounty before taking action. In order to avoid unnecessary onlookers, Zhao Mai disguised The Che as a four-wheeled carriage and parked it at the outermost edge of the camp.

Hey, isn't this Green and Sok from Nebo Town? Did you open your shop here? The speaker was a strong half-orc man, with a double-barreled shotgun slung across his broad shoulders. A special model equipped with a pair of axes. He was wearing a simple and loose chain armor, but Green knew that he actually had an exquisite custom-made breastplate, and he was considered a relatively wealthy adventurer.

The dwarves are here to test out some ideas and gain experience for future improvements. Nugget, how long have you been here?

I have grown so bored that I want to have some fun with my old friends. The half-orc grinned: You just came from Nebo Town, you must have brought some fresh supplies, right?

Wait a minute, what you said is indeed true. Green jumped into the car in a few steps, and then took a glass bottle out. There was originally a trademark on the bottle, but it had been torn off by Zhao Mai long ago. This is a bottle of brandy brought from Earth and placed in the cabinet of the taxi in case of emergencies - like now.

The orc unscrewed the bottle cap, took a strong sniff, then raised his eyebrows and nodded: Well, you still have a lot of friends. Although this bottle of wine is not the best I have ever seen, it is still among the best.

It's indeed something from a friend. Let me introduce it to you. Green called Zhao Mai over: This is my close friend Mike. He is a Druid from the Druid community in Farmer's Forest. This is He’s someone you can trust with your back.”

Thank you for the compliment. Zhao Mai said.

Are you from the Druid community? Why do you feel so awkward wearing this Druid robe?

Zhao Mai looked down and saw that it really didn't fit well. The Druid robe of the Departed community is a ceremonial garment worn during enlightenment ceremonies. Its main features are the wide hem and wide cuffs, the slanted front chest and the gray fabric with red edges. Zhao Mai has never been able to own an official robe, so this one was made by Duojian based on his memories.

I also feel a little awkward, so it's better to use combat equipment. Zhao Mai reached out and grabbed the clothes behind his neck and tugged hard, throwing the robe out. The so-called combat clothing is a simple leather armor, a cheap item bought from Nebo Town, and only a bankrupt adventurer would choose it. Zhao Mai just used the repair spell to restore it.

Is your friend crazy, or are all the druids in the Departed community like this? The half-orc looked at the wine bottle in his hand, fearing that it contained some kind of drug that could reduce intelligence, so he took it away Return the ball to Green.

Have you ever seen other druids of Departed Walker? When and where? Zhao Mai asked eagerly.

In the camp, there was a pretty boy named Lucius, but he had a bad mind. He persuaded us not to attack the monsters in the forest, but to wait here to prevent the Silver Crusaders from giving us money. The orc snorted: If it weren't for him being so polite, I would have beaten up this fool who ruined people's wealth.

Lucius? I'm just about to find him. I have an old score to settle. Zhao Mai clenched his fist, and the force of nature swept through the entire camp. Several spellcasters sensed this, looked around suspiciously and became alert.

Lucius was driven away again. He had almost become the most unpopular person in the camp. Some with a good temper would push him away and warn him not to come closer, while those with a bad temper would just use their fists to shut him up.

He can avoid or block the punches, but this will cause more conflicts and affect the persuasion work. So he used a less vulnerable part to receive the punch, and then used natural force to heal it. This wave of force fluctuations naturally caught his attention. The only person who could cause this phenomenon was the Archdruid. He hurriedly ran towards the source.

Mike, why did you suddenly use the force of nature? Wadsworth came over on crutches. He sniffed the surrounding smells and shook his head: There are too many people here and it's too chaotic. How long are you going to stay here?

I will set off after Suok has finished unloading his things. But I will act alone first and try to fly directly from the air. Zhao Mai happened to ask the orcs about the air passage, No spellcasters try to enter from the sky. Forest?

There are flying monsters intercepting them. They are a mass of black creatures with black wings, four arms and a crow's beak. The orc said helplessly: In the sky, there is not enough cover, which is actually more dangerous. Casting spells The operator can only conduct reconnaissance occasionally, and the progress of the advance still depends on the ground.

Zhao Mai nodded. It is true that not everyone has the powerful flight thrust ability like him. It is normal for this kind of situation to occur.

Mike, is it you? It's great that you are back! Lucius's golden hair was still flying, and he ran towards Zhao Mai in large strides. He saw Wadsworth and felt the natural force of the mangrove from him, so he said, Where did you invite the great druid from?

Don't talk about it yet. You bastard cut my rope and almost killed me, do you know? Zhao Mai snorted, and the reserve immediately showed his teeth to Lucius and let out a low roar.

Ah? I haven't said that you tied my neck with a rope and almost strangled me to death! Lucius stopped, pointed at his neck and said, Look at the marks here, there is still a scar that has not disappeared. Woolen cloth!

Strangle you with a rope? You bastard walked in front and jumped into the water, and then used the cloud and mist technique. I can't see you at all, how can I strangle you with a rope?

Later I was rescued by Mentor Joseph. After returning to the community, I figured it out. It was also at that time that we knew you were not dead and chose to leave for the south. Lucius said: Cut the rope, at least you didn't suffer any torture along the way. , and I didn’t worry about being silenced all day long.”

Where are they two, are they okay?

It's okay. I just suffered some physical pain. I'm fine now. I should be under the protection of the elves together with most of the apprentices.
