Chapter 107: Wadsworth 2
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Mai and his party arrived in the mangrove forest in the center of the swamp, and suddenly encountered a powerful force of nature, except for Zhao Mai, who was a druid, everyone else fell into a deep sleep. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Just when Zhao Mai thought he had found the great druid who did all this, he found that he was not alone.
"Are you using collective consciousness or soul split?" Zhao Mai looked at the two Wadsworths, his interest increased, and he played a game on them where everyone came to find fault. "I haven't heard of being able to create an identical version of myself, of course mages can use cloning spells, druids shouldn't have that ability. And even if it's a mage's cloning, you can't control two of them at the same time!"
"You're a well-informed kid, and you even know mage cloning. The two Wadsworths spoke in unison, without lag. "However, you have been so influenced by the mage's mindset that you have said that you have learned spells and promoted before, which is really a shame for the druid. ”
"I'm just a small apprentice, and I'm only able to use level 1 spells at the moment, so some mistakes are inevitable. Zhao Mai shrugged his shoulders and didn't take Wadsworth's assessment to heart. "Besides, I am here to learn, and I still have the courage to admit my mistakes and correct them. ”
"Well, that's a good point. Wadsworth nodded. This time, however, only one of the two of them nodded, and the other still reclined against the trunk of the tree to rest. It seems that their language skills are consistent, but the movements are not necessarily. "I'll tell you right now what you said wrong. ”
"We druids learn from the nature of heaven and earth, integrate ourselves into the Force, and increase our understanding of the world through the constant cycle of the Force, and then unlock the secrets hidden around us. We also use our own wills to manipulate the Force to make it feel the needs of the creatures it brings, and then help us. This is the essence of the druid, just as a priest prays to the gods, a mage looks for inspiration from knowledge, and a warrior exercises the flesh in self-restraint. All Fa and all techniques are inseparable from this root, and as long as you master the root, the so-called Fa and Shu will come naturally. ”
Hearing these words, Zhao Mai suddenly understood. I should have drilled the tip of the horns before. Elven Mentor Celine teaches several apprentices chanting and level 1 mantras, which is to help everyone find their feelings more quickly and build a bridge between the natural force and self-awareness from scratch. "So the druid's spell is really just a matter of communicating with the Force of Nature with consciousness so that it understands what needs to be done, and the rest is a matter of course?"
"It's a good word, and you're right. "The better you communicate with the Natural Force, the easier it will be for the Natural Force to understand your thoughts," Wadsworth said. You must know that the Force itself is very powerful, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, birth, old age, sickness and death are all within its power, and there is almost nothing it cannot do. But it's neutral, it's very low-key, and it's easy not to be seen directly in front of the world. You need to cooperate with it, be close to it, assist it, guide it, and walk side by side with it. Other than that, you don't even have to learn anything extra. ”
"What about the spellcasting action and spell language part?" Zhao Mai asked.
"It's like walking, you only need your legs, but if you swing your arms in a coordinated way, you can walk better and more steadily. Wadsworth said, "The language and movements of the spell are your arms, and the more you walk, the Force will naturally show you how to be more coordinated." As it flows through your body, it will naturally help you establish a new balance, the balance of mantras, just as a child naturally learns to chew and a youth naturally learns to reproduce. ”
Zhao Mai automatically ignored the paragraph about youth, and the other words of the great druid were like an initiation, and they suddenly broke away the blockage in his heart. According to his previous understanding, the druid only needs to keep gaining experience points to increase his level and obtain higher-level spells. As long as you can get a new spell level, all the spells of that level can be learned by the druids. Unlike priests and paladins, mages have the same traits and need to constantly copy and learn new spells and record them in their spell books.
He had never figured out why "all spells at this level were learned", which was not in line with the general law of human acquisition of knowledge and skills. Now I finally wake up, it turns out that it is not about learning, but about being able to command the forces around me to complete my ideas.
The priest commands the divine power, "go and open that door," and that's basically what it feels like. The closer you are to God, the more smoothly you can perform such spell casting. The druid commanded the Force of Nature, as if "Go, send me a bolt of lightning and slash that demon to death." ”
Only by better understanding and integration into the natural Force can the Force do more complex things, that is, higher-level spells.
Perhaps at what level the Force of Nature can do what kind of things is not a linear correspondence in itself. In the first days of the druids, there was only harmony between man and nature, and there was no such thing as a "hierarchy". Nature may have chains, networks, and cycles, but there are no hierarchies. Zhao Mai has been in exam-oriented education all his life, going to elementary school, junior high school, and high school, always level by level, and this mindset has been formed in his mind. But in the eyes of the druids, comprehension and integration are the most important things, and they will never forget the fundamentals for the sake of the rules and regulations of outsiders.
"How can I improve my Force sense, how can I be more integrated into my surroundings?" Zhao Mai finally asked the right question.
"All druids start as apprentices, take care of animals, nurture plants, enter the natural environment to live alone, and slowly learn to understand the emotions of animals and plants, and be able to communicate with them, which is called natural intelligence and wild identity. You should be wild too, right?"
"Yes, I learned it in the Departed community. ”
"What you have to do now is to reinforce, expand your wild identity, turn it into an environmental identity, a Force identity. Feeling the Force, and most importantly, creating an emotional connection with the Force is something that will definitely teach you when you meditate. The Force of Nature is everywhere, carrying all the information about the surrounding environment, animals, plants, water, water, fire, everything. Do you want to be friends with the Force, identify with it, and introduce you to it at the same time? ”
It turns out that just as Zhao Mai communicates with Ash and asks him to help him travel, the same is true for the druids to manipulate the Force of Nature. It's not enough to let the natural force flow through one's own body, it's just a physical link. I also need to add the soul to it, and gradually achieve the resonance and harmony of spirit and will.
"Come on, young druid apprentice, I'm interested in the peace of your natural force. Come and meet my true being. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Wadsworth said suddenly.
