Chapter 90: An Uncoordinated Man and Six Women
There is no evidence for the speculation of divine interference for the time being, but this undoubtedly gave Zhao Mai a wake-up call. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Garion is not a place where "science" can be emphasized, the gods are real and amazingly influential. He is just a mortal, and he is almost powerless in the face of divine power. So at this stage, you can only follow the rules, and you can't put yourself on the opposite side of a god.
Fortunately, he is a druid, and he has no natural enemies except for the few gods who want to destroy everything, and he has already made countless enemies, and he will not lack allies. If you choose a priest with stronger healing ability, and not to mention whether your more than 20 years of atheistic thinking will become an obstacle, just say that when you choose a god, there will inevitably be a definite opposing camp, and the troublesome things will definitely slow down your practice and even threaten your life.
If it weren't for this concern, Zhao Mai's first choice would be Sharon Lai, the sun goddess of eternal healing, and then try to be a powerful "milk pastor".
It's a little late to say these things now, Zhao Mai will not give up all the conveniences of the druids, even if it is for the sake of the future growth of grain reserves, he will not change his banner.
After a lot of ideological struggle, Zhao Mai finally decided to follow the paladins on horseback instead of driving, and the biggest reason was the same: the car was not affected by the outside world, and it was also isolated from the forces of nature. While avoiding danger, it also blocks the way to self-training through danger. Besides, who can guarantee that all the roads ahead are passable for cars?
"Mike, you're here early, are you ready?" Leaving the town meant danger, so Hzyel was fully armed. Her mount is a tall, snow-white horse, and if you dye its black mane and tail white, and stick a cone in its head, it will definitely be disguised as a unicorn. These paladins have a sacred pact with them, and they are very well-behaved and obedient, and they are extremely heroic when fighting.
On the other hand, Zhao Mai's horse he bought from the town was just an ordinary gray walking horse, a whole head shorter, neither mighty nor majestic, and he had no combat training. Of course, Zhao Mai had never been trained to fight on horseback, and he had never thought of such complicated tactics at all.
"Wait a minute, I'll talk to the mount first. โ
When his horse saw the paladin's mount, he began to feel inferior, bowing his head and reluctant to act, as if he was frightened. Zhao Mai walked up to it, holding its chin with one hand and stroking the gray horse's forehead with the other. "Ash, don't be nervous, you're a good horse, I'm not a good rider, so I need you to take care of me. I don't dare let you run as fast as you can, let alone rush into battle with you, it's the work of the other horses, not yours. I just hope you can carry me safely through the journey, can you do that?"
The tip of the gray horse's sword calmed down, staring at Zhao Mai with a pair of big eyes, and gradually glowed with a look of understanding. It opened its lips, gently licked Zhao Mai's hand, then shook its mane, raised its head and screamed twice.
"Okay, I'll rely on you!" Zhao Mai patted the horse's neck, and finally checked the strap that bound the saddle and the bag hanging on the saddle, and then turned over and got on the horse. He twisted his ass to find a proper sitting position, looking like a novice.
"Can it work?" Hazel looked at twice, "You're very good at this skill, and you can calm the horse down quickly." I've only seen anything like that in very skilled horse trainers. โ
"Horse trainers use the skills of domesticating animals, while we druids use the Force of Nature to communicate with animals. Zhao Mai explained: "Horse trainers can only target one or two types of animals that can be used as mounts, relying on years of experience. Druids have no restrictions on this, as long as they are animals. Because in any sense, man is also an animal, and he also has a natural force in his body, but he has intelligence. โ
"People are people, animals are animals, and the two cannot be confused. Hazel shook her head.
Zhao Mai had no intention of provoking a battle of beliefs, so he said: "Of course, there are differences between the two, but there are also common points, both are within the system of the natural force. People can also receive divine powers and even become new gods, just like the goddess Iometre. But it is undeniable that man is born only with the Natural Force. โ
"I'm not. Hazel shook her index finger, "I was born with the blessing of the goddess, and this life will be dedicated to the goddess as well." โ
"Then you have to work harder to live up to the expectations of the goddess. Zhao Mai thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, I understand, no wonder you can ask the goddess for the answer, even the questions of the gods in the past can be answered accurately, it turns out that there is a reason for this." โ
Hazel smiled, and the answer was self-evident. She grabbed her white horse, then said to her companions, "Stand guard and I'll follow Mike." โ
"Captain, haven't you been bothered by him yet?" a female knight with short red hair covered her mouth and smiled, "You can't always look at him, and you must also be vigilant about your surroundings!"
Hazel didn't smile at all, she still remained serious, "Don't talk nonsense, start to pay attention to discipline now, no matter who you are, you can't relax in the slightest, understand?"
"Yes!" replied the knights with their fists against the hilts of their swords.
This is a group of very energetic paladin women, although they are old and young, and their ranks are high and low, but they do not hinder their feelings for each other. They are both comrades-in-arms and sisters, and they have quite a tacit understanding. As soon as Zhao Maichu entered this group, he immediately looked out of place.
The first is the sitting position. Zhao Mai has only ridden a horse in amusement parks and tourist resorts, and the maximum forward speed does not exceed fifteen kilometers per hour, and the distance has not exceeded five kilometers, so it can only be regarded as a walk. He was on a horse, his body crooked, stiff, nervous, and very uncoordinated. And the heroic female knights around him are majestic and chic. No matter how you look at it, he looks like graffiti on a work of art, sludge on a gorgeous coat.
And then there's the style. Six paladins (one of whom had gone north to Castle Corduria to inquire about the north) lined up, their armor shining and their cloaks spread like six mighty banners. Zhao Mai was wearing coarse cloth leather armor, frizzy short hair, and panicked eyes. Fortunately, he did not wear a flail or a chain, otherwise he would have escaped alive from a prisoner who was accompanied by him.
Fortunately, Ash and Gray are more cooperative, constantly adjusting his posture, so that Zhao Mai can sit on his back safely. With a brisk stride, it followed the white steed "Unicorn" of Hรฉzel with little effort. It seems that letting the tall horse walk in front can effectively reduce the wind resistance of following.
Zhao Mai was cranky while jolting, and he almost even turned the aerodynamics upside down.
