Chapter 56: A Day's Rest

The next day, study had to be suspended for a day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn the one hand, it is because the elf mentor Celine has consumed too much energy and has a headache and needs to rest. On the other hand, it was because Zhao Mai vomited and diarrhea, kept going in and out of the toilet, and couldn't listen to the lecture at all.

It had something to do with him eating the mushrooms, but fortunately it wasn't poisoned. The magic of purifying food is successfully used to remove the toxins from the mushrooms, but this does not mean that people can digest and absorb raw mushrooms. In addition, he is constantly practicing spells, and his mental state is very tired, so it is reasonable to be sick.

Gaining the ability of spells, this is a huge change for Zhao Mai - although the spell ability is very weak now, it is also a change from nothing. Zhao Mai lit his fingers over and over again, with a silly smile on his face.

The druids had a total of fourteen prayers, and Zhao Mai had memorized their spell casting movements and language, so it was not difficult for him to cast these spells. The only thing that is limited is whether the Force of Nature can keep up with the caster's spellcasting. It's not a psychic ability or bloodline power, and the kind of spell that relies entirely on itself doesn't require prior preparation. Druid's spells need to call on external forces, just like a mage mobilizes the elements and a priest communicates divine powers, and it is best to "say hello" in advance, so as to save time. The better a druid's ability to communicate with nature, the more of these silots, or spell slots, can be kept.

While Celine teaches spells, she also teaches how to prepare them. Through communication with the Force of Nature, the caster can form a sigil with the power of some spells and carry them with him, which can greatly speed up the release of spells. This sigil is affected by the orbit of the sun and moon and can last for about a day.

As for why this is, there is no consensus among the druids. Celine's statement is generally "put aside disputes and develop together", and the Departed community is also trying to avoid the division between the various druid communities due to different philosophies.

Druids have high and low abilities, but the most straightforward and well-known way to rank them according to their spell abilities is the most straightforward. Because mages and priests had a similar classification method, this classification method quickly spread around the world, and even warriors, knights, etc., began to follow this example and began to divide their abilities.

Zhao Mai, Lucius, Afra, and Purple Moon are still druid apprentices, but when they can master a level 1 spell and can form more than 1 level 1 spell slot, they will become a level 1 druid.

This morning, Zhao Mai began to try to prepare the prayer to the spell position, and his current ability can only guarantee three mourning spell positions, and the choice is to decide: water making, detection magic, and light magic. There are no offensive spells in the druid's mourning, and the defensive spells are too ineffective, so you still have to choose this kind of spell that has good support and a wide range of applications.

It's not that other prayers are out of use. As long as you calm down and stay still, try to communicate with the natural force, and spend about a minute arranging the ritual, you can still release it. In combat or in an emergency, this method of casting spells is obviously meaningless, and can only be useful when resting.

Spells in the spell slot mainly mobilize and consume the surrounding Natural Force, while one-minute ritual casting mainly consumes one's own Force. Human physical strength is limited, and the energy reserves are replenished quite slowly, so it is impossible to use the spell casting method of this ritual frequently.

"Because of you, we couldn't go to class today. Lucius looked at Zhao Mai, his hand fanning back and forth in front of his nose, as if there was really some smell. "I'd love to learn level 1 spells right now, but you've been delayed. ”

"I'm sorry. Zhao Mai didn't want to pay attention to him, and prepared to go around with the reserve grain. It is said that today a caravan from Nebo came to the outside of the stronghold and brought a gift from the townspeople to the druids. Zhao Mai really wanted to go and see it, and by the way, learn about the situation in the town near the stronghold.

Unexpectedly, with a howl, a cheetah jumped in front of the reserve grain and bared its teeth. The reserve grain was startled, and he slipped back behind Zhao Mai's legs, and looked at the big cat. The opponent is more than twice his size, and he has not received an order, so he naturally will not rush stupidly.

"Come back!" Lucius saw that Zhao Mai's animal companion had flinched and achieved his goal, so he called the big cat back. With a smile he said, "I'm sorry, but cats and dogs always like to fight. ”

"My cat won't. Zhao Mai shrugged his shoulders indifferently and avoided the side with the reserve grain. As he walked, he said to the puppy in Chinese, "Is that cat insane?"

Reserve stuck out his tongue and nodded, as if he understood. "Next time if it provokes you, give it some color, and I'll do my best to help you. Zhao Mai adjusted the strap of the "Mammoth M1 Megalodon" and said confidently to the reserve grain.

The Druid community is a completely self-sufficient place, with people living by gathering and occasionally hunting. Whether hunting or gathering, the same standard is followed: it is enough to meet the most basic needs for survival. Zhao Mai has seen the druids deal with their prey, and it can be said that there is no waste in the slightest, and even the parts that cannot be eaten are turned into fertilizer with spells and sprinkled everywhere when patrolling. Druids never stocked up on food, did not eat more to satisfy their tongues, nor did they cut or hunt for commercial purposes. Zhao Mai respected their thinking, but he decided that it was enough to not hunt and waste for commercial purposes, and he decided not to comply with the fact that he only ate six full points at each meal.

He still had some gold coins in his pocket, which the sheriff of Nebo had paid for him. I don't know what the merchant will bring, maybe there are some things in it that I can use myself.

Two mule carts stopped outside the village, their heads bowed, their legs trembling, and their wails constantly. They would never enter the village, as wolves, cheetahs, tigers, and bears were everywhere, and there were more than a dozen thick pythons staring at them overhead. These animals are the druids' fighting companions, and they don't fight each other or bully the two mules outside. But the aura on their bodies is still clear, and for the prey class, it is the feeling of the end of the world.

A shrewd-looking merchant jumped out of the car, got his latch down, and jammed the wheel. So the mule trembled on the spot, and could not escape with the cart. Coming to the druid community on a regular basis, Marlowe was prepared for the situation. The same mule can only make two trips at most, and the third trip will not go any further if it is halfway through. He had to constantly change the animals pulling the carts, which was equivalent to always tricking new mules into doing the work.

The cart was loaded with goods brought from the town of Nebo, including weapons, armor, animal feed, smoked dried meat, and some letters. Druids also need weapons and armor to arm themselves and protect the forest, although they can also do these themselves, but they are not as skilled as specialized weaponsmiths and armorers.

Animal feed and smoked meat were all for animal companions, and the druids themselves did not eat them. They are willing to adhere to a simple lifestyle, but they never treat their animal companions badly, and there are no food restrictions. Therefore, the reserve grain can have a big bone to gnaw and play, and Zhao Mai does not have this treatment.

But the most important thing for the druids was the letters. The Departed community has a good relationship with the surrounding towns, and many druids are also from the towns, originally farmers or artisans. After becoming druids, they continued to correspond with their relatives, especially with their elderly parents. Even animals know how to take care of their elderly parents, let alone druids, who read letters and sometimes make things that merchants bring to their relatives to remember.

No, Marlowe, the merchant, first picked up a stack of letters and began to read the names for distribution.
