"Mike, come over here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Knight Hazel, please come and listen to it too. ”

Two days ago, there was a light snowfall in the town of Nebo, and there are still puddles of snowmelt on the ground. Today is the last day of autumn, which means that from tomorrow until the arrival of spring, all the snow that falls on the ground will no longer melt, and will continue to affect the living conditions of all living beings.

The female paladin has been following Zhao Mai for a week, and the two have established a very strange friendship. can't be called intimate, can't be called alienated, two people don't have a bad feeling towards each other, but they have a kind of awkwardness in the relationship. So far, it seems that this awkwardness has not caused any harm, but just like winter always comes, if the problem is not solved, the problem will inevitably explode.

"You two are so idle, glued together all day. Green deliberately said, "Only I am sober and know that your idleness is an illusion." Come, look at the work I've done for you! The news I bought from the guild is very accurate, and it is not comparable to the tavern rumors. ”

"What kind of news makes you so interested in it, and you actually spend money to buy it?" Zhao Mai patted Green on the back, and then picked up a piece of paper on the table: "Oh, a summary of the current situation of the Farmer's Forest, where did you find it?"

"As I said earlier, it's a guild! There is such a good channel, but you don't know how to use it. Green sighed, with a look of hatred on his face: "The two of you, one wants to find the Departing Community, and the other wants to find the Great Druid, but now it's going to push each other hard. Lady Hazel, here's some information about the nearby Grand Druid, and I think the second one seems the most likely, so you might as well keep an eye on it. ”

Zhao Mai moved a chair to Hazel, and then the two of them sat down separately and read carefully by the light of the blacksmith's stove.

Guilds publish and organize tasks, from which they receive a portion of the commission, which is its main source of income. But the guild also has a fully remunerated service, which is the sale of all kinds of information. Using polygraph and other means, they gathered a lot of information by asking the adventurers who delivered the mission to testify to their adventures. This information is refined and collated by special personnel and turned into the guild's own database. Assessing the difficulty of tasks and rating adventurers mostly rely on this information.

Green paid two hundred gold coins and asked the guild to sort out the news about the farmer's forest and form a report to Zhao Mai. Since the priests of Ramashtu are very active in the Farmer's Forest, and most of the adventurers have been to the Farmer's Forest recently, the news is particularly comprehensive. Zhao Maizai carefully read it twice, and came to a depressing conclusion: with his current level of ability, it was almost impossible to cross the Farmer's Forest and go to the elven city in the north.

The level of productivity of the average civilian in Gallion is about the same as that of the Middle Ages on Earth, but that doesn't mean the world environment is about the same. In many parts of Granion, leaving the confines of towns and roads can mean life-threatening. Beasts, monsters, fierce and savage other intelligent creatures that could be slain at any time and at any time were far more dangerous than medieval Europe on Earth. If Zhao Mai wants to bypass the Farmer's Forest, whether it is to take the Raven Field in the northeast or the sea route in the west, he must go around a big circle, or a big circle away from people and civilization, which is a dead end for him. No adventurer is willing to accompany him on this trip, after all, everyone knows that if you have money, you have to spend your life!

Zhao Mai sighed, knowing that he was at an impasse. The Departing Wanderers have split their forces in two ways, and the druids who remain in the Farmer's Forest must have been fighting the monsters and defending the Tree of Understanding. And the apprentices and the old and weak went to the elven city of Selverian, where there must have been druid teachers who could teach the apprentices.

The continued learning and improvement of the Druid profession requires knowledge of four aspects, one is the Natural Force, which is acquired through meditation and communication in the natural environment, the second is spell spells, which need to be learned from the Druid predecessors while understanding the Natural Force, in order to pass on the most efficient and balanced way of using spells, the third is the knowledge related to animals and plants, as well as abilities related to the natural environment, including the training and transformation of animal companions, and the fourth is various combat techniques.

If only by communicating and absorbing the natural force, Zhao Mai can indeed improve his physical fitness, strengthen the control proficiency of the force, and pave the way for future advancement. This is of course an indispensable foundation, just like the basic exercise of physical fitness. But no matter how good the physical fitness is, if there is no way to play it, it will not work.

He looked at Green, wondering why the mad rat was collecting such a report for him. In fact, from the communication with the adventurers of Nebo Town, Zhao Mai already had a certain understanding of the dangers of the farmer's forest, so he was able to stay patiently and work with the dwarf Sok to improve firearms and make grenades to prepare for the counterattack on the minions of the mother of monsters who occupied the forest.

Green noticed Zhao Mai's gaze and pointed to Hazel's piece of paper. Zhao Mai leaned over, and the female paladin generously shared the information in her hand with him.

Zhao Mai looked at it for a while, and then understood the intention of his companion: "You see, there is a clue to the Great Druid here, and the time is still very close: that is, two months ago, a team of adventurers found the Druid's Thorn Altar on the edge of the swamp southwest of Nebo Town, managed by a Grand Druid who called himself Wadsworth. This man is somewhat insane, but there is no denying that he has a lot of magical power and knowledge. This man claims to be driving the goblins of Magnima City into the sea and is therefore at war with the goblins. ”

"I see it, this clue is very useful to us, Green thank you. Hazel smiled and said, "I don't know how much this news cost you, so I'll make it up for you." ”

Unexpectedly, Green waved his hand, pointed at Zhao Mai and said, "I only have one hope, when you go to find this great druid, take him with you." ”

"Mike?" Hazel thought with her eyebrows lowered as she didn't expect Green to make this request.

When staying in Nebo Town and collecting clues, it was not troublesome to have Zhao Mai by his side, after all, it was safe here. Even though he is knowledgeable and very intelligent, he is only a level 1 druid after all, and he will be very dangerous in the wild. Moreover, Iometre's Expeditionary Knights rarely act with non-paladins and rarely work as nannies.

"Mad Mouse" Green watched the paladin's expression change, and could already read what was going on in her mind. Before Hazel could explicitly refuse, he said, "My brother Mike needs to find the Druid to continue his studies, and it has nothing to do with your mission. Take him along the way, and get him safely. I remember that as long as it didn't interfere with their mission, the paladins of Iomeda did not refuse to stop by to protect the caravan. ”

"Well, you're right. Hazel smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhao Mai and shook his hand: "You are welcome to go all the way, can you see it when you leave the morning after tomorrow?"

Zhao Mai really wanted to say that he was on the road and that he could take good care of himself. Even if he knew that Hazel's strength was much higher than his, it was a little awkward to be protected by a woman, especially a beautiful woman of his age.

Hazel knew what Zhao Mai was thinking at a glance, she had already seen similar expressions on many people. As a female paladin, too many men think that they are just good-looking vases, and there are frequent cases of contempt, disregard, and even contempt. According to the Goddess's teachings, she should be true to her heart and not let these misunderstandings and prejudices affect her, but why is she still a little sad when she sees such an expression on Mike's face?

Zhao Mai snorted suddenly. That's not contempt, it's self-deprecation. He regained the spirited traverser and shook Hazel's hand: "Now I am indeed inferior to you, and it would be more reasonable to have your protection." But I have every confidence and reason to catch up and surpass you. Have a nice trip. ”
