Chapter 9: The Origin of the Dodo
The dodo wakes up from its slumber. Before I could open my eyes, I heard a voice of anger mixed with chagrin: "Damn it! Why can't you shoot so closely! You can't grow bigger! ”
The dodo wanted to laugh when he heard this, and he didn't say anything about his archery skills, but he blamed the target for being too small. I didn't grow long enough to shoot at you, I'm really sorry. Blame me...... Blame me......
I'll go!
It opened its eyes with a spirit. I saw that ten meters in front of me, there was a skeletal archer wearing a black robe and looking a little strange, with two horns on his head, raising his bow and arrows at it. It tried to dodge for the first time, only to find that it couldn't move at all. When I looked down, my heart was cold.
It found itself suspended in mid-air, still in a large zigzag. In addition to the head that can move, both wings and claws are fixed to death. In the middle, that is, on his white belly, there is also a red circle, a ring that is a bit like a tree, and a bit like a bullseye for archery.
Bullseye?
The dodo struggled violently.
"Don't move, okay?" The skeletal archer in front of him spoke, "I can't shoot it in the first place." When you move, it makes it even more difficult for me to shoot arrows. "Are you trying to force me to use an arrow to beat your?"
The dodo thought to himself: When I don't move, you can't shoot so close to me ten meters, and I'm struggling now, you still want to shoot my chrysanthemum? Hehe...... So it struggled even harder.
The skeletal archer lowered his bow and arrow, rubbing his smooth jawbone with his hand, a faint golden light flashing in his eyes.
"I always feel like you're thinking about something rude. Do you think that I can't shoot a fixed target, and I can't shoot your chrysanthemum if you're moving now? "But......" The skeleton archer did not take another bow, and clenched an arrow in one hand. Although the bone arrowhead did not have the cold glow of metal, it exuded a sharp edge of slaughtering gods and destroying demons. "Who said Tyrant Chrysanthemum had to be ejaculated? I can't plug it directly close to me! With that, the skeleton archer held the arrow and approached the big bird step by step.
Watch as the skeleton approaches it step by step. The dodo imagined the picture that was coming, and suddenly the whole bird collapsed.
"Don't, don't plug me, I don't want ...... I don't want to be violent......" it yelled incoherently as it writhed wildly.
"Huh! Murphy, could it be that the animals of this world can also become spirits and speak human language? The skeletal archer turned his head in confusion and asked a man behind him who was wearing an ornate mage robe but covering his entire face with his cuffs. And why do you cover your face? ”
Murphy really wanted to say: The picture of the violent chrysanthemum is too beautiful, I dare not look at it. He lowered his sleeves slightly awkwardly and immediately changed the subject.
"Lord Town, I don't know if animals are good or not, but animals can talk, I think it's probably a druid."
"I'm a druid, I'm a druid, I don't want tyranny, don't tyranny......" dodo shouted excitedly......
"Huh! So you're a druid? Ao Li Ao swept his mind and immediately realized that what Murphy said was right.
"If it's a bird, I can do it, but I don't seem to have such a heavy taste for 'druids'. Forget it, let you go. Ao Liao tilted his head to look at the dodo in front of him, thought for a while and said.
The dodo was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. The ropes that bound its limbs suddenly unleashed of their own accord. The dodo slammed into the ground from mid-air unprepared. And I don't know when there was an extra pebble on the ground that seemed to be a little sharp, and the position was just below the landing point of the big bird. With a "bang" sound of landing, the dodo's chrysanthemum received 10,000 points of critical damage.
Before the dodo's screams of pain as his ass landed, he was strangled in his throat by a series of secondary critical blows, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Murphy said that today's mayor was so talkative, and it was so easy to let go of anyone who dared to offend him. It was strange why the dodo fainted as soon as it let go. Could it be that the current druids are so psychologically enduring?
Looking at the back of the mayor slowly turning away, I don't know why there is always a chill lingering in my heart.
"Anyway, let's take it back for treatment first." Murphy uses his magic to levitate the dodo's body and prepares to take it away. As the dodo's body soared into the air, the sharp pebble on the ground was also exposed to Murphy's eyes.
"Shhh......h Don't offend the mayor, don't offend the mayor, don't offend the mayor......" Murphy felt that in order to live well in the town, this must be followed as the first rule.
"Whoosh"
Ao Liao appeared in the "Tower of Thunder" again without warning, but this time it was not only him and Murphy in the room, and there was also a fainted bird lying on the bed.
"Hasn't it woken up yet?"
"It should be soon. I want to be a druid, uh...... Although the injury this time is relatively serious, after most of the day's relief, it should be about to wake up. After saying that, Murphy glanced gratefully at the dodo lying on the bed. My heart was full of joy.
He thought of the constant rejection of the mayor during this time, if it weren't for its appearance that allowed the mayor to find a way to vent. With the personality of the mayor of the town, what happened to the dodo must happen to him in a different way. Thinking of this, even though he was a skeleton, he couldn't help but shudder.
As soon as the words fell, the dodo on the bed opened his eyes in a daze. What catches your eye is two large skull heads.
"Quack......" The dodo was just about to fall asleep again, when the strange-looking skeletal head said leisurely: "If you pass out now, I will let your body experience the pleasure you tried before." ”
When the dodo heard this, he immediately felt that his current state was extremely sober. His eyes widened, but he couldn't hide the horror in his eyes.
Looking at the two skeletons in front of him, one of them was still wearing a gorgeous mage robe. The dodo knew that at least one of the people it was up to was a lich. There is also a face with long horns
Just as it was about to gather its magic power to fight back desperately, it found that it had no sense of the existence of any magic in and around it at all. Thinking that he had fallen into the hands of two lichs, he was afraid that he would not even be able to rest his soul after death. Its eyes glowed with a gray glow.
Murphy seemed to feel the dodo's sudden death and took two steps back. scratched the head; "I almost forgot that nature-loving druids and we lichs are inherently incompatible."
Ao Liao glanced back at Murphy and made a downward cut with one hand. "What do you mean......"
"No, no, no, Mayor Town. Actually, we lichs and druids don't have a deep hatred for each other, just different philosophies. It's just that they don't like each other, and they haven't reached the point where they are going to kill each other as soon as they meet. ”
When the dodo heard their conversation, he realized that he didn't have to die, and his eyes began to regain life.
"Look you're coming from the south, you're supposed to be an elf. And the direction of the flight is all the way to the west, and there is the territory of the water tribe. The water tribe and your elves are not hostile, but they are not friendly either. Why don't you go to the Dwarven Mountains, why are you there? Murphy was curious about where the dodo went.
The dodo did not answer. As if he remembered something in his heart, his eyes instantly darkened again. After a while, it slowly spoke, "I am an exiled elf......
"I'm a druid, elven druid. Maybe it's because of the talent bonus of being an elf. Maybe I'm a good fit for the druid profession. This makes me very talented in druids and can easily communicate with plants in nature. Before he was 50 years old, he had become a druid shepherd.
All the plants within my mind will be close to me and obey my commands. I was able to amplify them, and even make some changes to their shape and growth patterns. The latter, in particular, is something that some other shepherds are unable to do. That's why I'm an outlier among the druids.
Being a tree herder was one of the things I was most proud of. But don't know why? After that, everyone began to distance themselves from me. Until one day, the Great Elder told me that changing the form and growth of plants at will is a thing that goes against the laws of nature. I know why people are alienating me. But I don't think I'm at fault. My improved Elf Fruit Tree has a sweeter taste and larger fruit than the naturally grown ones. Although it was originally a tree, the elven fruit tree has now become a vine-like plant lying on the ground. And the fruit, which should have hung on the branches, is now spread on the ground. But if I don't change its tree-like form, the fruit that is more productive and more than ten times larger than the original fruit tree will not be able to support it at all. (Elven Fruit: A fruit endemic to the Elven Forest, the main food source of the Elves.) )
However, people never want to eat the elven fruit I grow, as if it were not food but poison. Moreover, I could feel that in the process of transforming plants, I had begun to touch the path of ascending to the child of nature.
Originally, I thought that when I officially became a child of nature, maybe everyone would be able to agree with my transformation.
But at the recent elven conference, everyone agreed that my transformation of plants violated the laws of nature and was inconsistent with the elves' nature of being close to nature. If I hadn't done anything to endanger the Elven Forest, I'm afraid I would have been put to death. Now he was sentenced to banishment, although he was not directly executed. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Elven Forest in this life. ”
