Chapter 1505: Druid's Positioning
The heat of the hot springs on the top of the mountain mixes with the cold mist on the top of the mountain, exuding a strange smell of frost and fire intertwined - on one side is the hot spring gushing hot water, and on the other side is the cool breeze of frost gusts, standing in this hot and cold junction area, looking at the rare mineral crystals condensed by those mountain people collecting the hot springs, it feels like going back to the era of 500 years.
It's just that the environment here is even worse, the temperature of the hot springs that smoke from the whirlpool is about the same as boiling water, and the mountain people will be contaminated with fog when they collect crystals, and just a few steps away from the hot springs, the cold frost on the top of the mountain is a few degrees lower, and the dew will quickly freeze. The whole person looks like he is working in an ice cellar, which is really uncomfortable. And there are very few crystals.
In the blur between boiling water and frost, there are a few green mosses and plants, and even animals such as toads and insects can be seen living in the mist. It's truly breathtaking: these little fragile little creatures can burn to death if they fall into the hot spring and freeze to death if they fall outside the heat. I don't know how they survived in these extremely harsh conditions for generations.
This uncomfortable environment made Cindell feel uncomfortable too, and when she said to the mountain people, "You guys are too hard to live like this, so hard." simply signed an agreement with us and took the money to live for nothing. It's much stronger than climbing a mountain every day, blowing cold wind and boiling water at the same time. As a result, more than a dozen mountain people just laughed: "I've been like this since I was a child, and I'm used to it." "I don't feel bitter.
When Xiandale shook his head and couldn't figure it out, Dong Hezi behind him prompted: "Discomfort is discomfort, and pain is pain." It's not necessarily painful when it's uncomfortable. And there are people. The body is not uncomfortable, but it is painful. These mountain people have more discomfort and less suffering. It's rare to want to use this to persuade them. β
"And what about your plan?" said Cindell, "Those elders are also very stubborn, and you went to each of their homes and repeatedly lobbied five or six times to no avail. Ordinary people are only respected by elders and leaders. Now it's just like this?" and Dong Hezi said: "Let's spend it first, and by the way, it's not bad to see the customs here." Hahaha~~~"
The mountaineers were ready to descend the mountain after collecting the crystals, but on the side of the mountain, Ponuk was staring at the steep valley in a daze, and even called him a few times, but he only responded with a 'uh-huh'. It just doesn't come out. Wait for Dong Hezi to go over and ask. He replied in a low voice: "There seems to be something affecting me in the valley~~~." It seems to be a huge thing~~~"
Dong Hezi slightly cast a 'Ask the Environment' spell, only to see some special signs of life: "Maybe it's an immature nature spirit, not very easy to communicate." Did you get in touch with it?" Bonook shook his head: "There is no reaction, I just feel its storage." It's within a five- or six-mile radius of this valley. But don't know where exactly it is. β
Dong Hezi said: "Since there is no response." Let's go. Bonuuk followed, but something was not saidβthe secret being, the spirit, could never be the spirit of nature! The phantom energy of Tong GuΓ² directly affected Bonuuk's bloodline. You can feel that the other party also has blood, and it has very profound characteristics, which seems to point out a direction for the development of Bonuuk's bloodline! This direction is so clear that it completely surpasses the vague guidance of Dong Hezi.
So, Bonuuk hid all this, and he was ready to go and find the secret being himself!
Fortunately, Dong Hezi didn't come to him in the next few days, because his old man and a dozen forest patrols among the mountain people were close to him. These rangers all learn the skills inherited from their ancestors, and directly use the magic of nature, and do not believe in the goddess of the forest and the ranger, Mekelly. When Dong Hezi took a closer look, he found that more than half of them had actually learned the skills of the druids, but they were all mixed with the skills of the rangers. There are only three or four people who can really transform into animals, and they only have the most basic transformation ability, which is mostly used for hunting. At this level, it can be regarded as an elite among the mountain people.
"It's a shame. One night he brought these three or four men and said to them, "If your talents and potentials are discovered, you can become a count or higher in the outside world." It's a pity that there is no proper way to unearth it, and this is where the end of my life ends. β
"I've heard it's quite annoying outside. The caliber of several people is actually very unified, which makes people wonder if the elders have blown the wind on them: "We are living very well now, turning into an eagle soaring into the world, hunting beasts drinking blood and singing, quite happy." I don't want to fight and kill people. That's too annoying. β
Dong Hezi said with a smile: "The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, don't you hear that the portals are coming out frequently, and the trade routes have changed greatly? Don't you want to learn more of your skills, even if you don't fight outsiders, at least among your tribes, your strength will increase as you increase. β
A few people are a little tempted, and the art is not pressing. Two of them immediately agreed, while the other two were hesitant. In the evening, there was only one person and a few younger rangers. The ranger who promised during the day didn't come because he was too tired.
"Then it's not reluctant. "Dong Hezi waved his hand to let the mute little girl light up the wooden stick on the roof with the 'light technique', and then opened the small clay pot next to it, and after casting an unknown spell on it, a rich fragrance of flowers came out of it, and it was mixed with a special aroma of mosquito repellent herbs, which drove away the surrounding mosquitoes and insects. But for such a clear aroma, how many flowers and herbs are needed.
When they looked at the clay pot with envy, Dong Hezi said, "This is a spell that replicates the breath, and it can use the first-order natural magic to replicate the scent of animals and plants. This clay pot contains soothing flowers and herbs that expel insects. So that you can study here with peace of mind. If you learn it, you can make the house full of fragrance and mosquitoes. β
Everyone was interested, and then after Dong Hezi explained the basic alchemy and a new understanding of natural magic, the mute little girl demonstrated two new natural magic techniques - the Qi Purification Shield and the Plant Growth Promotion. After the former, his body was protected by a shield of natural energy, even if he sprinkled a bowl of dust on his head. As soon as you enter within three feet, you will immediately fall to the ground like gravel, and you will not be sucked into your body, and it is difficult to even get much on your clothes: "This technique can repel the water mist, smoke, and foreign objects in the air or make them quickly condense and fall to the ground." Reduce harm to people. If you go to the mountains again, you will be less disturbed by snow, snow and fog. If you use this spell to protect your body every day, it also has the effect of maintaining health. β
Although this thing is a bit pediatric, it is always more practical than activating ropes and burning hands, as long as you are working in the mountains, you can basically use it. The second spell is more practical, after the mute little girl takes out a potted flower seedling, her pale green sparkling spell gives the seedling a visible sign of growth. After three or five minutes of guidance. It has become a small plant, as if it had grown for a week or two.
"It's 'plant growth'," Dong explained, "Although it can't be used to grow plants on a single acre like 'plant growth', it can promote the growth of a single large tree or a small range of small and medium-sized plants." The effect is like they have been growing in the best environment for a week. β
This spell was inexplicable, and several mountain people looked at each other. I couldn't help but ask: "This spell is neither able to resist the enemy nor as good as 'plant breeding'." What the hell do you have to do to learn this~~~" but saw Dong Hezi quickly explain: "I forgot to mention the point - this technique is a first-order divine technique." Everyone here can learn what if there is a jujube tree or a fruit tree in front of your home. Give them every day to harvest the fruit quickly. It can also increase production much more than usual. β
The mountain people were a little disappointed: "Although these skills are useful, it is better for ordinary people to use them." On the other side, Dong Hezi really said: "Yes, it is a practical skill for ordinary people." This first-order spell, as long as ordinary people study and practice it carefully, most people can learn it. It is useful for life and production. If it can be promoted in your area, everyone will plant trees, families will harvest fruits, or increase the production of herbal materials. One quarter can harvest a year's yield, and life will be better. β
This kind of far-sighted thing is not very attractive to ordinary people, and a realistic question is: low-level people only talk about a few spells every day, and at most take care of a few trees, do they live on the output of these trees, so they are still chicken. They instead asked, "Is there a more usable magic that can make us stronger?" Dong Hezi said: "Today is just to explain the basic and low-level spells, in the low-level spells~~~ there is a 'brute arm bear waist' that may be useful to everyone." β
He directly flew a spell on a slightly thin mountain man, and this person's waist suddenly became thicker, the back and shoulders were widened and thickened, especially the arms became nearly doubled, and the whole was like a big man who often beat people: "This technique can adjust the physique with reference to the flesh and bones of the human legs, so that the strength of the arms is about equal to half a leg, and at the same time strengthen the waist strength." The effect is better than the giant spell, and it does not affect the person's movement and flexibility. In addition, the skin of the hands thickens and turns calloused, which is good for both labor and fighting. β
For the mountain people, this is still somewhat useful. Because the upper limbs of people are inherently weak, even hunters who have been exercising all year round cannot reach half the strength of their legs. This spell adjusts the physique, whether it is transporting goods to heavy land or fighting beasts, and does not conflict with the 'power of the cow', etc. So they happily learned, and they weren't even very interested in the miniature 'animal puppet' activates that Dong Hezi later came up with.
After they left, even Cindell was a little strange: "Why don't you teach them useful spells? Just hand over some spells of work and life? This doesn't appeal to them much." Wouldn't it be better to hand over the spells against the snake people to them?" replied calmly but solemnly, "Although the fighting skills are good, they are not as good as the arcane arts. Just thinking about fighting, learning arcane art is faster. Fighting was not the Druid's forte, and if the Druid was to revive in the world, he had to find a new position. Isn't it just the things that produce and live? Isn't it for a better life? I give them a better life first, and when they are in danger of loss, they know how to cherish them, and they tend to come to my side. β
