Chapter Ninety-Seven: Emergencies
Looking at the scarred student, Ashmi couldn't help frowning, and asked:
"Bennu, what's wrong with you, why are you hurting like this?"
When Bennu heard this, he hesitated for a while before replying:
"I met a wild boar outside, and the wounds on his body were all from the fight with him."
In the face of the teacher's inquiry, Bennu did not tell the truth after all.
It wasn't that he was cowardly or wanted to repay his grievances with virtue, it was simply that the druid he was fighting was more seriously injured than he was.
Recalling the thrilling fighting before, he couldn't help but say with some fear:
"If it weren't for the stick left by the teacher, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back today."
Hearing this, Ashmi knew in his heart that the stick was the result of his effort, and that the Oak Sage's legacy could be applied not only to oak, but also to other trees.
It's just that only oak can slow down the loss of power, and the other trees will completely fail in less than a day.
Seeing that Bennu looked palpitating, Ashmi said earnestly:
"After today's encounter, do you still think that combat training is meaningless?
Words can't influence beasts, and even the druids in the sect who are good at dealing with beasts need to use force to subdue the beasts before they can have peaceful coexistence in the future. ”
Hearing this, Bennu nodded thoughtfully, although what he encountered today was not the wild boar he said in his mouth, but it touched him more than the beast.
If it weren't for picking up the weapon at the critical moment and recalling Ashme's teachings, he might have really confessed this time.
At this time, Meng Hu on the side said:
"Alright, now that Bennu has learned his lesson, let him take care of his wounds.
Although the injury is not deep, it is a problem in case of infection.
It just so happens that I know a druid who has a lot of research on skin injuries, so go to Bennu and deal with him. ”
Originally, Ashmi also wanted to go with Bennu, but Menghu stopped him.
Looking at Bennu's back, Menghu said with a little teasing:
"I don't think the wound in his chest was caused by a wild boar, but more like it was cut with a sharp weapon.
If the students don't tell the truth, you're not a good teacher.
How about it, regret it, I see that you will suffer it in the future. ”
When Ashmi heard this, he was a little speechless.
"Teacher, you left me behind, didn't you just want to take the opportunity to teach me a lesson?
If there's nothing else to do, I'll get busy. ”
Seeing that Ashmi was about to leave, Menghu hurriedly changed his words:
"Okay, okay, don't mention Bennu's affairs, it's a foregone conclusion anyway, I have other things to discuss with you."
Speaking of this, the expression on Meng Hu's face also became serious.
"I just received a message from the northern part of the forest that something is going on in that place.
Druids operating in the north have disappeared one after another, and the situation is very urgent. ”
Hearing this, Ashmi couldn't help frowning.
"Hengcheng is south of the forest, and in the past, the south was the most prone to conflicts, while the north has always been relatively stable, and this time things are really a bit strange."
"Who's to say it's not, I also think this thing is weird, so I want to discuss with you about countermeasures.
However, before I could see you, I was stopped by the group of herding elites.
Hmph, I can't see them when I'm doing business, and they jump out when it comes to the interests of the faction, what a bunch of nasty ghosts. ”
Menghu had quite a prejudice against the Mushu family, and at this time he couldn't help but pull them out and criticize them.
Ashmi ignored the teacher's complaints, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Autumn is approaching, and the hunting season of the Golden Clan will begin, and this is the time when we have the most intense conflict with them.
I don't think it's appropriate to transfer the druids to the north at this time.
I don't think so, I'll go to the north to find out the situation myself. ”
Hearing this, Meng Hu said with some hesitation:
"The hunting season is approaching, and it is really not a good time to mobilize manpower.
I'm also very relieved of your strength, but it's really a bit inappropriate to let the Oak Sage handle this kind of thing personally. ”
Seeing this, Ashmi responded with a smile:
"The handover is not yet complete, and I can only be regarded as a substitute sage.
That being the case, there is nothing suitable or inappropriate.
I'm ready to leave tomorrow, and I'll leave it to you, teacher. ”
…………
The next morning, Ashmi set off, but he didn't do it alone.
In addition to the inseparable goat dragonborn, Bennu was also brought with him.
He didn't know how long it would take to come back, and he didn't want to delay his teaching.
And this trip to the northern forest was also a good experience.
Maybe it was the previous encounter that made Bennu figure it out, and he became active along the way, no longer trying to pick a child at every turn.
The friendship between teachers and students has also deepened a lot in the process.
In the past, Ashmi was alone in the forest, and he rarely returned to the Druid Ring unless necessary, living and fighting alone like a lone wolf, which was his daily routine.
And his quiet personality was also cultivated in this environment.
However, getting used to being lonely doesn't mean liking, and now with Bennu by his side, he has nothing to do to give advice, and from time to time he sees each other crying because the training is too difficult, which is also very pleasant.
After another day of intense training, Bennu sat down leaning against a big tree.
At this time, Ashmi took dry food and water and handed it over.
Then he sat down on the floor and ate today's dinner.
"Teacher, did you say that I could pass the test and become a druid, I heard others mention that the test was very difficult, and the pass rate was very low."
Hearing this, Ashmi responded lightly:
"If you have this mentality now, it's really hard to say."
Seeing that Bennu looked very hurt, Ashmi continued:
"Every druid is versatile, we are warriors when we need to fight head-on, shields when we need to defend against strong enemies, and medicine when we need to heal our fellow soldiers.
Druids don't do everything, they just have to do it, and they believe they can do it.
If you don't even have this self-confidence, you probably won't be able to succeed. ”
"There is no road in vain in life, every step counts.
You have worked hard during this time, and this dedication will not be disappointed. ”
After listening to this enlightenment, Bennu unconsciously became confident.
Time turned to the next day, and after a long journey, the two of them were close to the northern forest at this time.
Ashmi gently touched the surrounding trees, and immediately knew the general direction, which was not far from the accident site.
Just as the two of them were about to move on, something suddenly happened to the goat dragonborn.
It watched as the forest in front of it faltered, and no matter what, it didn't take a step forward......
