Chapter 79: High-level Worlds: Kingdoms
"It's time." Gu Shanhai looked at the two extra high-level worlds in the temporary space and whispered.
It's been a day since he came back, and he only raised the third layer of Spirit Root to E rank the day before yesterday, and then he came back to repair it.
The high-level worlds that are open this time are the martial arts world and the western fantasy world, and the martial arts world is much the same, nothing more than the grievances and hatreds of walking the rivers and lakes, and they can't get rid of these.
The main line of the Western Fantasy World is the dynasty hegemony, but the number of people is a little smaller, a bit like a battle at the entrance of the village.
Five hundred knights is a large-scale battle.
The energy level of these two worlds is not high, the former is low martial and the latter is low demon, of course, the degree will not be too low, and the degree of both sides is about about Tianlong Babu.
The abundance of the two worlds is also different, this low-martial arts world is rich in various skills, permanent buffs, and various one-time props that increase permanent attributes, etc.
The low-magic Western fantasy world is different, but it is rich in various props, equipment, knight classes and other small professions.
What Gu Shanhai is going to is this low-magic Western Fantasy World.
However, because he entered the previous life late, he didn't go to either world, he jumped directly to the immortal cultivation world behind him, the one who ascended to the sky in one step.
Fortunately, he has some information to collect, so he doesn't have to worry about being blacked out as soon as he enters.
At this stage, although it is only a world of low martial arts and low demons, with the follow-up, the energy levels of the two worlds have also increased like the Holy Federation, becoming high martial arts and high demons, one is the revival of heaven and earth, and the other is the birth of the Holy Grail.
"The Kingdom of Camelot, the eternal King of the Red Dragon, tsk~" After looking at the general situation, the world of these kingdoms is somewhat similar to the process of King Arthur of Britain, and it is indeed dead later.
【High World: Kingdoms】
[Mission: Help Artholys Sitra succeed in ascending to the throne]
"I'll do your sister's mission." Gu Shanhai complained, this ghost task still needs his help, I'm afraid that he won't get the problem as soon as he passes.
He has already led the god of the world into distortion, but he doesn't want to let the king of the red dragon break free from his fate, which is not a good thing.
The two-year lifespan is given to "The First Age", and it's not a big deal anyway, let's go and do my own plan first.
However, this is also beneficial, if you become a minister of the dragon and become a knight of the round table when the time comes, then the follow-up benefits will not be small.
He can have spirit root abilities, many spirit plants, etc., all of which were the first to passively bet on He Lingyun, so in addition to free tickets, the actual benefit of participating in the mission is the process of befriending the protagonist, but he doesn't want to have a relationship with this kind of political creature.
He Lingyun was a good man in the early days, but with the appearance of the god of the world, both the means and the way of doing things have become almost ruthless.
The same is true of the future king of the red dragon and the king of knights, as he ascends the throne as king, he will also transform into a political creature, although he is still a representative of justice, but power is also synonymous with him.
"For now, I remember that this King of the Red Dragon was still staying in a knight's house as an adopted son, and it will not be revealed until the sword in the stone is pulled out, at least for a few months."
"No hurry."
Gu Shanhai did not say that he would give up completely, but was thinking about whether there was enough time to follow this kind of protagonist, and the biggest benefit he could get was the friendship of the protagonist.
Then he determined the location, he was in a certain city, at the birth point.
Most of the player's spawn points are random, so where they come is all a matter of luck, and his luck is still a little better, not directly on the street, but in a small alley.
"You shouldn't just throw me to the side of a certain Red Dragon King, after all, this "First Age" is not so shameless."
Well, Gu Shanhai actually doesn't have much confidence.
So I can only inquire about where I am, but fortunately, it's really not, obviously because there is plenty of time for this mission, so I just threw it away.
In addition, he also inquired that Camelot's knights were about to start their annual battle of honor, and it was said that this time the competition was different.
In previous years, they relied on their own skills and martial arts, but this time there are other events besides the competition, and the winner can become the new king of the Camelot Kingdom.
Gu Shanhai naturally knew that it was nothing more than pulling out the sword in the stone gold.
He is still some distance away from the royal capital of Camelot, and it will take a lot of time if he really wants to pass.
"Let's go to the Southern Forest and find those druids." Gu Shanhai was going to go to this group of druids this time to learn art, mainly in plant and prophecy skills.
In the world of the kingdoms, the mainstream profession is knight, followed by priest, and these two professions are the most popular.
There are also two professions, druid and wizard, the former is gradually declining, and the latter is not in line with the mainstream and is not very popular.
The decline of the druid is due to the rise of the priest, and it can be concluded from Gu Shanhai's intelligence that this druid is actually a special situation similar to the formation of the druid profession of the priest in Celtic mythology combined with DND, which leads to a very serious problem.
You just have to be a priest and follow the king, and you have to do something natural, but as a result, it gradually moves away from the political center, and then the priest rises and forms a new sacrificial system.
It is because the system is gradually declining, and it has lost most of its prophetic power and turned to communication.
In fact, whether it is a druid or a priest, they are actually related to the fate of the world itself, but one belongs to prophecy and the other belongs to communication, and the two present different situations.
However, in addition to the druids who can predict, there are also some special bloodlines that can also be predicted.
And the name of the druid school that Gu Shanhai wants to learn art this time is called the Imprint Stream, which belongs to an extremely ancient druid, and is currently on the verge of extinction.
The main reason is that it is too difficult to become a druid who wants to pass the test and become a marker, there are very few survivors, and in the wilderness forest itself, it is naturally decreasing day by day.
And even the large number of druids is decreasing, because the mainstream is knights nowadays, and no one wants this druid.
When a knight can gain fame and fortune, but when he is a druid, he can only survive in the wild.
So it's clear which one to choose.
If you change to the mountains and seas to become a native, even if you are not a knight, you have to be a priest and a druid.
However, on the other hand, the druids are indeed much better than priests in terms of herbs, potions, medical treatment, prophecy, etc., and they have a long heritage and natural favor.
It's not that difficult to join this sigil stream druid, but the real difficulty is how to pass the trial.
He has collected strategies, mainly because this trial is not to fight monsters, but more in other ways.
It's a pity that the strategy is not very complete, because when Gu Shanhai collected the strategies of the kingdom world in his previous life, this world also perished, and the inauguration of the imprint druid was also all hanged, after all, it is only a niche genre, not to mention the difficulty of getting a job, and it is not the mainstream, and few people have found it at all.
If the benefits are really good, then it is not difficult to rely on the players to revive, but unfortunately there are none.
Nowadays, if you want to say that there is really anything to do, it is a complete ancient inheritance, from professional skills to professional talents, this is it, there are normal occupations, unless you go to work in some incomplete occupation, which will lead to incomplete vocational skills and professional talents.
"Forget about buying a horse, I'll run over it, this thing is slower than me." Gu Shanhai pondered for a moment, this world is still in the era of low demons, although there are also magical horse creatures, but they will definitely not fall into his hands, so it is definitely not as fast as him, nor does he have the stamina to last.
Whether it's a magical creature or a treasure, the chance of picking it up from the wild is extremely small, and unless you follow the protagonist, you basically can't meet it.
Of course, if you go to find the ancient druids like Gu Shanhai, they have existed for a long time, although the personnel are withered, but the background and connections that should be there are still there, as long as the Holy Grail is born in the future and the world gradually recovers, then these people can also become big guys.
Forget it now.
Let's put it this way, unless it's a top-notch existence, if you get shot without any defense, you have to die.
It's naturally different if you're prepared, the king of the red dragon who hasn't ascended the throne can use a knight's sword to split bullets, or an armor-piercing bullet from a sniper rifle, don't ask him how he knows, in his previous life, a certain player who died on the forum uploaded a video.
Southern Forest, Gu Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief, he finally arrived, he had been traveling day and night for three days, and he almost died on the road.
During the period, thanks to the fierce general with him.
He overestimated himself, thinking that he could run on his own legs, and later found out that it was actually okay to ride a feline, at least this thing was not a living thing, and it was not tiring to run.
The next step is even more difficult, as he has to find the druids of the sigil stream in this vast forest
Let's put it this way, the number of the Seal Druids probably didn't exceed ten at all, so he chose a better way to ask the mountain people around here.
The mountain people didn't know much about it, because very few people entered the forest, and although the forest represented abundance, it also represented danger, and only the most sophisticated hunters and medicine men of the mountain people entered the forest.
So I walked around, but I only found some scattered rumors, because of the scarcity of people and the isolation of the world, so few people would meet the druids in this forest.
Gu Shanhai walked around for three days before he found the trace.
"The trees in the forest tell me that an outsider has been looking for our tracks, and I don't know what is going on?" An old man with antlers on his head and leather armor was accompanied by a huge white wolf.
"Are you a druid of the sigil stream? I heard about this old school in my hometown and wanted to be a part of it. Gu Shanhai said.
The other party was a little puzzled, it was indeed a very rare thing that such a young man would be willing to become a druid.
But through the perception of nature, it is found that the other party is not lying.
Then he used the detection camp to make a vague detection of Gu Shanhai, and a ray of spiritual light appeared.
'Chaotic neutrality? Rare indeed. The old man muttered in his heart, but he didn't say much, Gu Shanhai passed the test, because they only asked for the neutrality of the camp, whether it was good, evil or orderly.
"Alright, awesome boy, we're welcome to join us, but we have to let you know one thing in advance, and that's that if you want to become a sigil druid, you need to pass the tests of the elements and nature, which is life-threatening." The old druid man was also blunt.
"Of course, I'm ready." Gu Shanhai said without hesitation.
"No, no, no, you're not ready, we'll help you as much as we can, come with me now, I'll take you to meet the others."
"Also, my name is Mafate Wolffang." Marfas said.
Gu Shanhai naturally opened his mouth and said: "Shanhai, my name is Shanhai." ”
"Well, okay apprentice, hug the white wolf's neck, and I'll take you back." After Marfas finished speaking, the white wolf beside him walked over and bowed down slightly, signaling Gu Shanhai to come over.
In this regard, Gu Shanhai was not hypocritical, and hugged the other party tightly after climbing up to the white wolf.
In the next moment, the white wolf stepped out of all four legs and began to run wildly.
"Apprentice, you are a bit beyond my imagination, I have received a lot of people who want to become imprinted druids out of interest, but most of these people can't hold the white wolf tightly, and even close their eyes in fear, you are very good." Marfas was happy with this.
As a druid, a strong body is necessary, otherwise it is impossible to survive in the wilderness.
"I've exercised a little bit," Gu Shanhai also replied.
From the moment they met, the test of becoming an imprint druid had already begun, whether it was a camp judgment or a test now, as long as one failed the test, it would be rejected.
As the white wolf advanced, the two crossed a barrier and came to a new area.
It was inside the forest, but it was a huge plain, with a few wooden huts, and three druids, two men and one woman, all of whom were in the middle age of a person.
They were each busy with their own business, some in nature meditation, some tending to plants and refining potions in a cauldron.
After seeing Marfas arrive with Gu Shanhai, they also took a look and did their own things.
It's not that I don't want to say hello, but I can't leave, so I can only delay it temporarily.
And they actually don't have much confidence in Gu Shanhai, although it is rare for someone to want to become a Seal Druid, but basically no one can complete the next test.
"Here we are, this is where our druids live, the Stag Field."
"I'm going to train you for three days to give you the confidence to complete the next test."
"After that, I will send you into the elemental realm to survive alone and find your way back, then you will receive the blessing of the elements, and you will have the foundation of the sigil druid."
"There's a lot of danger here, and if you're not careful, you'll die, if you're too late to quit now."
Marfhas said with solemnity in his tone.
"Elemental Realm? Are they the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth? Gu Shanhai asked.
"That's right, it's full of these four terrifying elemental creatures that can die if you're not careful, so you still have a chance to quit." Mafas is also a sincere person and has nothing to hide.
Gu Shanhai muttered in his heart: It is similar to a maze copy of escape and survival, which means that it requires a certain amount of luck.
However, there are four corresponding elements. It seems to be a very good appearance, the current situation is that he is not afraid of the fire element, as for the remaining three kinds of wind, water, and earth, he has to put some thought into it.
Fortunately, there are still three days of training, which shouldn't be too much of a problem, these three days are most likely to teach him how to survive, and it is unlikely that there will be someone who teaches him druid magic.
Even if they want to teach, Gu Shanhai can't learn it without a foundation, and there are no corresponding conditions.
"With such a tough ordeal, will I ever be closer to nature after becoming an imprint druid?" Gu Shanhai asked.
Hearing this question, Marfas's expression froze: "Yes, we are facing a more dangerous crisis, and we have naturally gained more powerful power. ”
"It's the current era, maybe it's not as good as the ancient times." Then, Marfas said with a little embarrassment.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was inferior, it was completely crushed by knights and priests, well, even the druids of other schools could not compare, because most of the power was suppressed.
So in fact, there is not much ability, if it is the imprint flow in the heyday of the year, where do you need to be afraid of those elemental beings in the elemental realm, the survival rate is very high, of course, correspondingly, when selecting apprentices, other aspects will be a lot stricter, such as camps or qualifications.
Now that it has declined, there is no need to choose, Gu Shanhai can directly become an apprentice, otherwise in the past, he would not have seen a powerful figure like Mafas.
"I chose to mark the druid, not for power, but to be closer to nature." Gu Shanhai said solemnly, and said that you, an old comrade, have a bad ideological style, and you are actually greedy for power.
This made Marfas a little embarrassed, because he could tell that the other party was telling the truth.
Gu Shanhai is indeed for this idea, of course, now he also wants to learn some prophecy from the druid, this thing with his own ability, he will be much stronger.
"Well, you're ashamed of me." Marfas could only sincerely wish that Gu Shanhai could pass this test and return alive from the elemental realm.
"I'm just sorry, we can't provide you with any direct help, we can only try to teach you."
"On the first day I'll teach you how to survive in the elemental realm."
"The next day Naris will teach you simple first aid."
"On the third day, Burke will let you know how to find your way in the elemental realm and how to get back."
"You'll have to do the rest."
Marfas pointed to the female druid meditating and the male druid boiling the medicine, and when they heard this, they didn't look up, because they had done this many times, but to this day, none of the apprentices had been able to return from the elemental realm.
Cruelty is itself a part of nature.
They knew that doing so would leave their school without a successor, but they had to do it because it was part of being a sigil druid.
The test is not set by them, but by nature, and if they could have changed it, it would have been changed a long time ago, and they are not old and stubborn.
"Of course, it's my pleasure." Gu Shanhai didn't expect too much, this knowledge was already something he urgently needed, but three days was shorter, he actually preferred it to be thirty days, but unfortunately, the test did not allow it.
