Sword and Magic and Taxi

The stick cannot speak, Zhao Mai is sure of this. But the stick growing leaves is already magical in itself. Even if it opens its mouth again, it is not incomprehensible.

Since you choose to become a druid, you will inevitably have to deal with various animals and plants. Among Druid spells, there is a level 1 spell called Talk to Animals. The level 5 spell can enlighten animals and plants, allowing them to learn language and generate wisdom. The level 7 spell has Activate Plants, which allows plants to be free. of walking.

All druid spells are learned from nature, so animals and plants that can talk must exist. Zhao Mai is mentally prepared and knows that he will definitely encounter many magical things. It's just that when you first meet, you should feel no less surprise.

Zhao Mai sat down cross-legged and placed the stick flowerpot on the ground. Take a deep breath, relax, and allow yourself to enter a state of Force awareness.

When he tried this on Earth, the overly polluted environment made him vomit and fall to the ground, but in the vibrant land of Golarion, Force meditation is a kind of enjoyment. The power of nature is pure and harmonious, circulating between heaven, earth, water and soil, and full of vitality entering Zhao Mai's body, giving him a sense of ease and ease.

The same goes for the Stick Tree, which absorbs and releases the force of nature at the same time. Zhao Mai experienced it carefully and finally discovered the difference. The stick tree absorbs more primitive natural force, but what it releases seems to have been processed and seems to be easier to understand and absorb.

Simply thinking from the perspective of absorbing energy for practice, the stick tree will be more helpful to the druid. It's just that the amount of natural force released by the stick tree is too small to cover Zhao Mai's body, and it cannot be fully absorbed by him. Always look at things from the perspective of development. Just because stick trees are not enough now does not mean that they will not be enough in the future. Didn’t they not have even a trace of energy before? Now at least the problem of making something from scratch has been solved.

After his interest was aroused, Zhao Mai began to experiment. It seems that the stick tree is very satisfied with its flower pot and is unwilling to leave. Zhao Mai suspected that maybe his actions might damage the roots of the stick tree, so it screamed. Think about it, you don't have to struggle with a flower pot. It's no problem if the stick stays in it. It will naturally open up when it grows up.

Worried about the lack of nutrients in the soil in the flower pot, Zhao Mai took out a little flower fertilizer from the bag and put it in. At this moment, the stick suddenly sent a happy message to him, like a little girl laughing giggle. This is strange. Does this stick know the benefits of fertilizer?

Zhao Mai has never raised flowers and plants, so naturally he doesn't know how to use flower fertilizer. Synthetic fertilizer is different from humus soil. For plants, its nutrient concentration is very high, and it can easily rob the plant roots of water, just like using salt to kill slugs, it can burn to death the plants alive. . These fertilizers need to be diluted accordingly before use, with most ratios around one thousand to one.

The previous tenant prepared the fertilizer himself, put it in the bag, and controlled the dilution ratio himself, so there was no need for any instructions. But when it was handed over to Zhao Mai, it was considered a three-no product. Things that originally needed to be diluted a thousand to one were put directly into the flower pot by Zhao Mai. If it were a normal plant, it would have died long ago.

But stick is different. It requires a very large amount of nutrients for its growth, so its growth rate is generally very slow. Zhao Mai kept inserting it into the soil. After it was stained with soil, it slowly woke up. It would take at least a year to grow leaves. As a result, after Zhao Mai put the flower fertilizer in, it immediately woke up under the stimulation of a large amount of nutrients.

A single fertilizer will make the plants look biased, but the previous tenant's mixed fertilizer is comprehensive. Even though there will inevitably be some waste, at least the plants will not grow astray. This environment makes the stick very satisfied, so he will never leave the flower pot.

Zhao Mai put some more flower fertilizer in, and the stick made a hmm sound, and the two leaves stretched, as if a person was stretching. This is so fun! Zhao Mai was still thinking about the stick growing into a woodland staff, and kept adding fertilizer with an attitude of preferring to believe it or not.

Once the gray-black flower fertilizer is put in, it will quickly seep into the soil and then disappear without a trace. After a while, the soil in the flower pot began to clump, and the cracks caused by lack of water spread like a spider web. But there is Ash Lake next to it, and there is plenty of water. It’s okay to take a flowerpot and soak in it.

In this way, Zhao Mai kept repeating the repetitive tasks of fertilizing and watering, and kept hearing the silver bell-like laughter from the stick in his ears. Just under his eyes, the stick continued to grow leaves, one by one, and soon covered the stick body.

It doesn't grow taller or thicker, it just keeps growing leaves. Zhao Mai observed with interest and always felt that this effect could only be found in CG animation, so it always felt unreal. He pinched the leaves with his hands, but he didn't expect that the leaves were pinching him too.

His heart beat twice faster, and he carefully stretched out his fingers again. As expected, those green leaves surrounded him, gently folded on his fingers, and even shook them, just like a human handshake.

Oh my God, I was molested by a stick with leaves! Zhao Mai whistled, called the reserve food over, dragged its paw and put it on it. Unexpectedly, the stick tree could still distinguish the target, and this time there was no situation where the leaves entangled the dog's paws. The puppy put his nose to it and sniffed it. Unexpectedly, the stick tree could slap it with its leaves. Although the movement was very light, it still shocked the reserve. It jumped back and let out a warning whine.

It's so interesting! Zhao Mai comforted the puppy, and then he was full of energy and continued the repetitive work of fertilizing and watering. Finally, when only the bottom of the bag of fertilizer was left, the stick groaned and swayed violently.

Under the gaze of one person and one dog, all the leaves quickly turned yellow and cracked, then turned into pieces and fell to the ground. Later, the outer skin of the stick began to peel off, just like the skin of a wall that keeps peeling off due to lack of maintenance. The stick, which was more than one meter long, kept shortening and disappearing in front of the two people, and finally only a short section of less than ten centimeters remained.

There was a crisp crackling sound, and the last section split into four petals, and a seedling emerged from the middle. There are only two small leaves that are not yet ripe and unfolded, and a pearl-like white spherical flower bud is embedded in the middle of the two leaves. The moment it was revealed, the surrounding natural force became restless and immediately converged on the little flower, diving into it without hesitation.

Zhao Mai's own Force Power was also a little unstable. Some of it was absorbed by Xiaohua, and then he was supplemented by more pure Force Power. Then the leaves spread and the flowers open. In the center of the five red petals, yellow and pink stamens are half-rolled. Xiaohua felt Zhao Mai's presence and leaned slightly to the left and right, as if dancing a swing dance.
