Chapter 432: Parasitism - Looking forward to love
The oak tree is the sacred tree of the druids, and the parasitism that grows on the oak tree is considered by the druids to be a panacea.
Legend has it that this profession of the druids was first taught to mortals by Sivannas, the father of the oak tree. When we were first born, humans were savage tribes. It has taken thousands of years to develop into the genre that it is now.
And the venerable father of the oak tree is an old god. His very body is a great oak tree.
The gods have been divided since the end of the age of dragons and the beginning of the age of elves. The gods that were born together with some natural law are called ancient gods. And those gods who later relied on the power of faith and priesthood because of the emergence of the intelligent race were called new gods.
Sivannas, the father of the oak tree, saw all things and balanced nature, regulating floods and droughts, ice and fire, life and death. It can be said that he is the god of nature.
He does not compete with the gods for faith and believers, but silently maintains the balance and development of nature. Nor does He need believers to provide the power of faith, but to live with nature.
But now, He's gone.
More than 800 years ago, the catastrophe of the Magic Empire of Netherio turned such a vast area into the Beo Wasteland. But in fact, the impact is much more than that. At that time, the chaotic magical energy was constantly spreading in all directions. A large amount of radiation that disrupts magical energy has caused all living beings to be unpredictably altered.
The natural world is threatened!
At that time, it was the Father of the Oak Tree who stood up and said, "It is my duty to maintain the balance and development of nature."
Then the majestic force of nature limited the spread of the scourge to what is now the Beo Wasteland.
Since then, the Father of the Oak Tree has disappeared. The star that represents Him is gone. Did He fall, or did He sleep in the Astral Plane? No one knows......
This is what a druid told Charlotte.
Charlotte and her brother, under the guidance of their brother, came to Lake Zadler, the largest freshwater lake in the Beo Heath, and they saw the golden oak tree on a high slope.
The oak tree sparkles in the setting sun, but it looks so peaceful that it's not aggressive at all. Staying near this oak tree will even relax your mind.
Not far from the Golden Oak, there is a thatched house. It was the residence of a druid.
This druid was a human, who looked to be forty or fifty years old, but was actually in his 120s.
He had unkempt hair and a big beard, and he was dressed in a linen roe deer, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed it. In his hand is an oak cane wrapped around a green vine that never leaves his hand...... In short, the whole person looks a little sloppy and a little unkempt.
This made Charlotte's heart chill!
Will Made, and the druids end up like this? I suddenly lost faith in the profession.
This druid's name is Aaron, and he is a silver median druid. He has been living on the shores of Lake Zadler for ten years.
He stayed here for 10 years because he noticed that Lake Zadler is nearly a third smaller than it was 100 years ago.
The lake is the largest freshwater lake in the entire Beo Heath and is an essential node for sustaining the fragile ecosystem of the Beo Heath. If Lake Hu continues to shrink, it is likely that in a hundred years, the entire ecosystem of the Beo Wilderness will collapse.
He has lived here for so many years to find out the cause of the shrinkage of the lake, and then control this phenomenon, and even restore the original size of the lake.
For this kind of person who endures loneliness and is willing to dedicate his energy to the ecological environment, Xia Luo expressed his sincere admiration.
Then he said that he was a group of people, hoping to get the parasitism on the two golden oak trees.
The old druid man Aaron said: Good to say, good to say! On the sixth night of the next month, you can pick the parasitic trees on the golden elephant tree.
It turns out that parasitic plants cannot be picked casually. It is only on the sixth night of each month that they are harvested with a special ritual that they have miraculous effects such as healing injuries and bringing good luck.
However, Charlotte and the others are still in a hurry to go back to the Dwarven Beer Festival!
To this, the old druid man said: No! The Pavilion's Parasitism is a gift from nature, a gift from the father of the oak tree! All those who have good intentions are eligible to receive it. But he would never allow everyone to pick it now, so that the parasitism of the pavilion would lose its miraculous curative effect. That's a tyrannical thing! It's a waste, it's a crime!
Charlotte quietly asked the old brother, "Why didn't you mention this old druid when you first came?" ”
The old brother spread his hands, "I am a parasitic tree picked nearly sixty years ago. The old druid hadn't come yet! I'm still weird! Such a parasite is not as magical as the legend, and there are so many things to talk about here! ”
……
Dwarf: "Hey old man! I haven't seen you in fifty years, and you're still so young! ”
Human: "Old Dwarf, I'm my dad's son, and my dad died ten years ago......"
Dwarf: "What? My poor friend, who died at a young age......"
Mankind:...... I've often felt out of place with you long-lived races because of my short lifespan!
Charlotte saw that the old druid man was gradually changing his principles, and there was no other way. After all, what they say makes sense. You can take it, but don't spoil the good!
Finally he said: Okay! All right! You're right! Eight honors and eight shames are remembered in the heart, and the waste is shameful......
The old druid man was very pleased with Charlotte's attitude.
You little comrade, you have a very good attitude! At a young age, you are already a druid at the peak of black iron, I don't know what path you are taking?
Charlotte was stunned! What a path, I take the right path wow! The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life!
The old druid man said, "What I ask is, what druid path do you take?" What beliefs do you follow? ”
Charlotte was stunned again! Druid roads? Belief? What does it mean?
This time it's the turn of the old druid man Aaron, who is stunned!
You don't even know the druid path and beliefs, how did you become a druid? Who are your teachers? He didn't even give you any of that? How incompetent is that!
Charlotte Heart Says: My Druid...... It was taught by a PE teacher!
After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say it. I'm afraid I'll this old man to death.
He told Aaron that he had no teacher. One day, I was sitting under a tree and I was hit on the head by an apple, and suddenly I became a druid.
When she said this, Charlotte was very calm, as if she was telling the truth! But the physical education teacher said: Your brother is a little deflated calf, and he is still bragging! The teacher can't suppress Newton's coffin board anymore!
Old Druid Allen was surprised and said, "Look at your stupid kid, I didn't expect to have this talent?" ”
Charlotte was on fire at the time: You bad old man! No one has ever said I'm stupid since I was a child, how come I'm stupid when I come to you?
The Great Demon King of Vic on the side also owed, and asked curiously: "Then what did they say about you?" ”
Charlotte shook her head: "At most, they say I'm a tiger!" ”
All:...... (I was speechless)
The old druid man Aaron said that he had some stored parasites here.
It was a golden-yellow branch that looked like metal, the golden leaves were somewhat like willow leaves, and the fruit was not so much like a golden cherry. It's like a craft, it's very beautiful.
"Pavilion parasitism (blue), a fine-grade curiosity.
It has many effects, and can be used as a spell casting material and a potion alchemy potion material. Taking it directly can detoxify and restore vitality.
Note: Under mistletoe, you can kiss anyone......"
What the? This plant is so rogues? I like it!
Charlotte swore that she would get the plant.
"That's, old Mr. Allen...... You see! You've got a lot of them here, so you might as well give us some. The Father of the Oak Tree once said, "It's fun to help others!" Charlotte licked her face to please Aaron.
The old druid pouted, "When did the Father of the Oak Tree say that?" You kid, you were an old druid just now, and now you're old Mr. Arun. I despise you! ”
However, the old druid man did have a good heart, and he thought that the parasitism was a gift from the father of the oak tree, and he should not have it for himself. If someone needs it, they should give it themselves.
He said to Charlotte: "The parasitism can be given to you, but nothing is free in nature. You also have to pay the price......"
In the end, Charlotte and the others took out a lot of supplies and magic materials and exchanged them with Aaron. And promised to help Aaron with some tasks.
And the old druid Aaron will give Charlotte and them three plants to parasitize.
The so-called mission is to drive away some wild beasts and kill some monsters that have run from other places. It's not that hard. Everyone went their separate ways, and one day was enough.
And the old druid man Aaron left Charlotte alone.
He sees it his responsibility to teach the young druids and set Charlotte on the path of the druids.
After two hours of teaching, Aaron looked at the few beards he had broken. Suspiciously, he asked Charlotte, "Are you really a naturally awakened druid?" ”
Made! What's that? Don't believe me?
Class Cards...... It should be considered a natural awakening...... Right?
Charlotte said, "I've heard what you told me about balancing nature and protecting the environment more than a thousand times." Man and nature, animal world, I don't know how much I watched. Isn't that that you want to fool me with this kind of store closure now? Besides, your teaching level is far worse than my physical education teacher!
In the end, Aaron decided to teach Charlotte some druid spells first.
I didn't expect Charlotte to be quite talented in this area! After all, the properties are there!
Some elemental spells, which were quickly mastered. Some natural spells are troublesome.
Just as Charlotte learned the art of cowardice, these spells require some special rituals to learn.
When Charlotte was ready, she set off according to Aaron's instructions. He's going to complete a ritual and learn the art of detoxification!

ps:
When it rains, don't just pay attention to the water droplets on my face, but see my unchanging smile - "Parasitism"
Ruffian Cai should be regarded as the first person in online articles, right? "The First Close Contact" and "The Parasitism" all made me unable to let go. Unforgettable! That's really distressing!
