Chapter 56 A Day's Rest

The next day, the study had to be paused for one day. On the one hand, it was because the elf instructor Celine was exhausted too much energy and had a headache and needed to rest. On the other hand, it was because Zhao Mai vomited and had diarrhea and kept going in and out of the toilet, so he couldn't listen to the class.

This is related to his eating of mushrooms, but fortunately it is not poisoning. The magic of purifying food was successfully used to remove the toxins in the mushrooms, but this does not mean that people can digest and absorb raw mushrooms. In addition, he constantly practices spells and is very tired in his mental state, so it is reasonable to get sick.

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

There are fourteen prayers in the druids. The Zhao Mai has remembered their casting actions and language. It is not difficult for him to cast these spells. The only thing that is limited is whether the natural force can keep up with the casting actions of the spellcaster. This is not a mental ability or bloodline power. The casting that relies entirely on oneself does not require preparation. The druid's spells need to call out external forces, just like a mage mobilizing elements and a priest communicating divine power. It is best to "say hello" in advance, so that time can be saved. The stronger the druid's ability to communicate with nature, the more such talisman positions can be retained, or called spell positions.

While teaching spells, Teacher Celine also taught how to prepare spells. Through communication with the natural force, the caster can form talisman seals from some spells and carry them with him, which can greatly speed up the release of spells. This talisman seal is affected by the trajectory of the sun and the moon and can be maintained for about one day.

As for why this is, there is no consensus among the druids. Teacher Celine's statement is generally "shelf the dispute and develop together", and the Instant Walker community is also working hard to avoid division between the various druid communities due to different ideas.

The druid's abilities are high and low, among which the method of grading according to spell abilities is the most direct and recognized by everyone. Since mages and priests also have similar grading methods, this classification method has been quickly promoted around the world, and even warriors, knights, etc. have imitated this example and started to divide abilities.

Zhao Mai, Lucius, Aphra and Zi Yue are still druid apprentices, but when they can master first-level spells and form more than one level 1 spell position, they will become level 1 druids.

This morning, Zhao Mai began to try to prepare prayer to the spell position. His current ability can only guarantee three mourning spell positions. After choosing, it is decided by: water creation, magic detection and light. There are no offensive spells in the mourning of the druid, and the defensive spell effect is too poor, so he still has to choose this kind of spell that has good auxiliary and wide application range.

Other prayers are not unusable. As long as you calm down and keep moving, try to communicate the natural force, spend about one minute to arrange the ritual, you can still release it. In combat or in emergencies, this method of casting is obviously meaningless, and can only play a certain role during rest.

The spells in the spell position mainly mobilize and consume the surrounding natural force, while the casting of a one-minute ritual mainly consumes its own force. The physical strength of a person is limited, and the reserved energy is replenished quite slowly, so it is impossible to frequently use the casting method of this ritual.

"Because of you, we can't even attend class today." Lucius looked at Zhao Mai, and kept slapping his hands in front of his nose, as if there was a stinking smell. "I really want to learn level 1 spells now, but I've been delayed by you."

"Sorry." Zhao Mai didn't want to pay attention to him and prepared to go around with his reserved grain. It is said that a caravan from Neibo Town came outside the stronghold today and brought gifts from the townsmen to the druids. Zhao Mai really wanted to go and find out the situation of the town near the stronghold.

Unexpectedly, with a howl, a cheetah jumped in front of the reserve grain and bared her teeth. The reserve grain was startled and hid back behind Zhao Mai's legs, protruding his head and looking at the big cat. The opponent's body was more than twice his size, and he had not received the order, so he naturally would not rush forward stupidly.

"Back!" Lucius saw Zhao Mai's animal companion retreating and achieving his goal, so he called the big cat back. He smiled and said, "Sorry, cats and dogs always like to fight."

"I don't have a cat in my house." Zhao Mai shrugged indifferently and avoided one side with the reserved grain. While walking, he also said to the puppy in Chinese: "Is that cat crazy?"

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

The druid community is a completely self-sufficient place. People living here make a living by collecting and occasionally hunt. Whether it is hunting or collecting, the same standard is followed here: it is enough to meet the most basic survival needs. Zhao Mai has seen druids dealing with prey, and it can be said that there is no waste at all. Even the uneasy parts are turned into fertilizer and sprinkled everywhere while patrolling. The druids never reserve food, nor will they eat too much to satisfy their verbal desires, nor will they cut down or hunt for commercial purposes. Zhao Mai respects their ideas, but he decided to only hunt and not waste for commercial purposes. He only ate six points of full per meal and decided not to obey it.

Now he still has some gold coins in his pocket, which is the payment for the Neibo Town Sheriff's compensation for the goods. I don't know what the merchant will bring, maybe there are some things he can use.

Two mule carts were parked outside the village, and the mules lowered their heads and fought with four legs, constantly whining. They would never enter the village, because there were wolves, cheetahs, tigers and bears everywhere, and more than a dozen thick pythons above their heads staring at them. These animals were fighting partners of the druids, and they did not fight each other or bully the two mules outside. However, the aura on their bodies was still clear, which was the feeling of doomsday for the predatory class.

A merchant who looked very smart jumped out of the car, put down the latch, and stuck the wheel. So the mule could only tremble in place and could not take the car to escape. Because he often came to the druid community, Marlow was prepared for this situation. The same mule could only come at most twice, and he would never move forward halfway through the third trip. He had to change the livestock that pulled the car frequently, which was equivalent to always tricking the new mule into working.

The car was loaded with goods transported from Neibo Town, including weapons, armor, animal feed, smoked dried meat and some letters. The druid also needed weapons and armor to arm themselves and protect the forest. Although they could also do these by themselves, they were indeed not as skilled as specialized weapons craftsmen. The armor craftsmen were good.

The animal feed and smoked dried meat are all for animal partners, and the druids themselves do not eat it. They are willing to uphold a simple lifestyle, but never treat their animal partners unfairly and never have a food restriction order. Therefore, the reserved food can be gnawed with a big bone, and Zhao Mai won't be treated like this.

However, the most important thing for the druid is actually letters. The relationship between the Infernal Walker community and the surrounding towns is very good. Many druids also come from the towns, and were originally farmers or craftsmen. After they became druids, they still kept in communication with their relatives, especially with older parents. Even animals know how to take care of their elderly parents, let alone druids? They read letters and sometimes make some things and entrust merchants to send them to their relatives to express their longing.
