Judging from the map left by Ranger Carl to Zhao Mai, the farmer's forest, where the Departed Druid community is located, is still not a short distance away from Nebo Town, but Joseph has no intention of hiring a car to ride a horse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhao Mai thought to himself, he can't stay here for too long anyway, and if he can't, he can at least save some time by driving there.

Unexpectedly, the druid's solution was much better than driving.

As soon as he left Nebo Town, Joseph shook his arms and spun around in place, transforming himself into a giant eagle. It is a giant creature with a wingspan of more than 20 meters, which can directly prey on large creatures such as bison, lift them up with their claws, fly high, and then fall to the death of their prey. In some film and television works on the earth, there are also scenes of this kind of giant eagle charging into battle.

Looking at this huge creature up close, Zhao Mai was only shocked. Picking a feather from it is like a banana fan, and it is absolutely no problem to cover it as a quilt. Giant beaks can pierce through human bodies or cut flesh off at the moment they open and close up and down. This is a great creature, one of nature's legends.

Zhao Mai first stuffed the reserve grain into his backpack and hung it on his chest despite its protests. After that, he happily reached out and tried to climb onto his back. Joseph's bird's head turned, and a pair of huge brown eyes stared at him. Zhao Mai felt a little furious in his heart, pointed to the bird's claws and said, "Or, I'll stay there?"

It was definitely not a good experience to be lifted by two claws and fly into the sky, and within three minutes, Zhao Mai vomited all his breakfast and everything. It's different from flying and you can enjoy the scenery through the window. There are no seats and seat belts, there is air leakage on all sides, and there is no sense of security at all except for the bird's claws under the body is the earth hundreds of meters away.

When a bird flies, its torso remains largely motionless, and when its wings flap up and down, its head, tail, and claws move accordingly to maintain the dynamic balance of the whole body. In other words, Zhao Mai is like a boat drifting with the current, still moving up and down. It's a nerve-wracking experience, especially since Joseph is still raising his heights.

It was estimated that it was close to a thousand meters, because Zhao Mai had already clearly felt the cold. Fortunately, the druid did not continue to increase his height to prevent Zhao Mai from becoming a popsicle. It spreads its wings and, with the help of air currents, begins to glide over long distances. Zhao Mai shrunk as much as he could, keeping the sensation of his limbs alive, praying that he would be able to reach his destination as soon as possible.

Looking down from the sky, the earth is in full view. The Giant Eagle's route is basically along the western shore of the Ash Lake, so there's always a portion of the view on the glittering water. Unlike the long forests on the eastern shore of the lake, this side of the lake is mostly plains and low hills, and the shore is dotted with clusters of villages, like a necklace for the beauty of the lake. They passed through two larger towns, one in Gaturia and the other in Wolf's Ear.

Wolf's Ear is located at the northernmost end of Ash Lake, where a turbulent stream of water called the Oily Smoke River feeds into the lake, one of the two main sources of water for Ash Lake (the other is fed by a waterfall next to Viper Cliff Fort). We won't go into the details of the origin of the strange name of the Oily River here, except that after flying over Wolf's Ear Town, it was over the Farmer's Forest.

The giant eagle began to swoop, and the slight feeling of weightlessness made Zhao Mai feel excited. After more than five hours of flying in a straight line, he had come to love the feeling. It is no wonder that many people like to fly gliders, it turns out that only after experiencing the wind blowing in their ears and the clouds brushing their eyebrows, can they understand what kind of joy it is to truly fly.

There is no trace of human life in the dense forest, and Zhao Mai is still trying to find the location of the druid community. His eyes widened, and he tried to hold back the tears from the wind, but all he could see was the herd of deer scared away by the shadow of the giant eagle, and the brown bear roaring angrily into the sky. Even though there were no drops of water on his head, he made a gesture to wipe his sweat. How could he not have understood after seeing the bear, this forest was full of wild beasts, and it was impossible to leave without the skills of the druids.

The giant eagle continued to descend, quickly skimming over the treetops. It folded its wings and flickered and moved a few times in the middle of the canopy, shaking Zhao Mai dizzy. Just when the poor earthlings feared that they would be knocked headlong on the trunk of the tree, Joseph turned back into human form, and with a wave of his staff, the two men fell to the ground lightly.

From above, you can't imagine what looks like under the trees. A small village was tucked away under dense foliage, and the houses made of dead branches and straw mats were small, probably about the size of an Eskimo igloo, and could fit three or four people into each room. Druid communities are also mostly these houses, many of which are covered with a layer of dirt and then decorated with beautiful wildflowers. It's definitely natural camouflage, no wonder it's invisible to the sky.

After counting, there were fifteen rooms in the field of vision, which meant that there would be thirty or forty people here. The elderly, the middle-aged, the young and the young, all of them are here. Especially the children, they chased and frolicked at the same time, and after a while, five pairs ran in front of Zhao Mai's eyes.

"The basic role here is to train and educate young people, so there are more children, and therefore they are protected in the center. "There are several such places in the forest, where planting, raising and researching are all functional," Joseph said. Taken together, we are the druid community. ”

"I'm just studying here, right?"

"Yes, I'll take you to meet the teacher, she also taught me back then. ”

Zhao Mai looked at Joseph's face suspiciously, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was sixty or seventy years old. When he was in Nebo Town, Joseph still appeared in the form of a middle-aged man, but after returning to the community, he returned to his true self, which is what Zhao Mai saw when he talked in his dream. How old does it have to be Joseph's teacher, I guess I have to be close to 100 years old, can I still teach movement?

He forgot that in this world, humans can only be regarded as a short-lived race, and they live longer than orcs, kobolds, and goblins. Following Joseph, Zhao Mai met the first elf he saw, who would also be his teacher: Aurora Celine.

Her long, dark green hair is draped over her shoulders and adorned with fine floral dots, giving off a pleasant fragrance. A pair of pointed ears poke out of her hair, and a pair of pearl earrings hang from the top. This long hair and her delicate and small face set off the image of a gentle and delicate woman.

Zhao Mai compared his height, he was more than seven meters tall, and the elf woman was shorter than herself, but her slender figure and just the right proportion would not make people notice this, on the contrary, it would make people feel a sense of protection. Even if Zhao Mai understands very well that if his body bones walk over, he will be directly fanned by her, but the feeling is the feeling, and it will not change because of the comparison of strength.

"Elder Joseph, do you have anything to do with me?" Did the elves' lingua franca have an ethereal flavor, or did it give her a certain amount of preconceived impressions?, Ms. O'Laura Celine introduced with a smile: "The three apprentices of the Eagle Wing community are all good seedlings, and they have made rapid progress recently, and they should be able to enter the learning of natural perception. ”

"So quickly, I thought they were consolidating the Druid language. Joseph rubbed his eyebrows and said to the elf, "I have found a good seedling outside and want to send it to you to study." Let him come along, and you will teach him the basics of Druid. ”

The elf didn't object, but asked a little strangely, "Why don't you start by cultivating plants and animals?"

"There's something special about Mike's situation. Because of plane travel, the previous druid studies were interrupted. Joseph explains: "He's actually the same as the apprentices in the Eagle Wing community, and he already has a foundation for taking care of animals and plants, so he has put it to you." ”

"Okay, I'll take him, it's called Mike, right?" Ms. Celine turned to Zhao Mai and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I don't know if it's presumptuous, I really want to tug your ears, I don't know if it's okay......"
