Chapter Twenty-Five: The Shadow Druid
After the upgrade, Henry began to prepare for tomorrow's spells and divine spells. After having a level 4 god, he was a little more sure about hunting the pterodactyl this time. Once you're ready, get into your sleeping bag and rest. At dawn the next day, he got up early. After washing up, I had a light breakfast with Ares, and began to hurry in the direction that Fado had pointed out. Slowly climbing up the rocks protruding from the mountain, the brown bear followed behind and pushed his head against him to prevent the rocks he had caught from slipping and falling to his death. It took them nearly an hour to get back to the top of the falls. Standing on a large rock next to the waterfall, he could still see the huge black hole trap made by the Iteri in the distance. After sitting on the stone and resting for a while, I let my somewhat sorely arm relax a little and then get up and continue to set off.
After walking out of the Spider Forest, the surrounding forest was obviously a lot more vibrant. Along the way, Henry saw a lot of fishing bears, grazing deer, and birds flying in the sky. And owls napping in the trees. He didn't stop to eat at noon, comforted his animal companion's complaints, and then continued on his way, he had to get to the Shadow Druid's station as quickly as possible. After walking for two hours, he gradually saw a path that had been stepped on, and it didn't take long for him to come to a small river. There was a wooden drawbridge over the river, and just as Henry was about to walk up, a man came out of the woods on the side and shouted to him, "Stand still! I command you to stand still! I need to talk to you. ”
"Who are you?" Henry asked, looking at the people who came over.
"My name is Rasquel, and I am the protector of the Cloaked Forest. What are you doing at our station? The man walked over and asked.
"Hello, my name is Henry, and I was originally here with Fado to report to the Grand Druid about the sudden increase in the number of pterosaurs in the north of the forest. While traversing the Spider Forest, he fell into the trap of the Iteri and got scattered. Hasn't she come back yet? Henry was a little puzzled, according to the time Fado, he should have arrived before him.
Raskell suddenly realized, "Oh! You're the kid with her. But when she came back, she said with tears on her face that you had fallen into a pit full of spiders and died, and that she was ready to avenge you. How did you escape? ”
"I didn't even expect to come out alive. Deeper into the cave, I discovered that there was an underground river, and when I swam out of it, I was already under a waterfall at the edge of the forest. And there was also a death-stabbed spider in the cave, which was a terrible battle. He calmly recounted the thrilling experience of the previous night.
"Deathstabbing spiders! It's not a natural creature. You killed it! Can you show me the evidence? Raskell asked, with some excitement.
Henry poured out the huge corpse from the dimensional pouch and said, "Look, this is this guy, I almost died at its hands." ”
Raskell looked at the huge corpse and said excitedly, "Good boy, you have eliminated a huge hidden danger. It's a female! When she starts mating with other spiders, she can give birth to a large number of monsters. Then it will be a disaster! The entire forest, not the entire Sword Bay region, is going to experience a catastrophe. Now come with me and report to the Great Druid, and he'll give you a great reward. ”
Henn refilled the Deathspike Spider with the Dimensional Bag and followed Raskell into the Shadow Druid's residence. He watched it closely. A few simple treehouses, a Stonehenge for ceremonies, and nothing else. Life here is simple and primitive, and several druids are talking about something under the stone henge. Once under a huge treehouse, Raskell turned to him and said, "Here we are, this is the residence of the Great Druid." Be polite when you speak, the Grand Druid of Amarared doesn't like to be interrupted. ”
Henry nodded when he heard this, and the two walked into the treehouse. Once on the second floor, Raskell turned to a man and said, "Dear Amare the Great Drew, I have brought with me the child that Fado spoke of yesterday. He didn't die, but he also killed an unnatural monster. A female death-stabbed spider. Henry took out the monster's corpse for the Grand Druid to examine. Hearing Raskel's words, Henry unhurriedly took out the dimensional bag and poured out the body. Amared Grand Drew took a few steps back, the huge corpse making the already not very spacious house even more crowded. He crouched down and examined it and said solemnly, "It is indeed an adult female deathbed spider, and I even saw the eggs that her ovaries are giving birth to." You will be rewarded with children. I just saw that you seem to be using a magic item! Don't you know that magic is an unnatural product? ”
Henry is feeling terrible now, growing up so big or being the first to be questioned like this. I was very annoyed, but I didn't show it. For the first time, he began to crave strength so much! I thought to myself, if I had the ability to cast spells like Mentor Tyrantiel or Master Habashar, would I dare to speak like this even if I stood here and shouted that I was a mage? It turns out that in this world, it is still the strength of the force that is speaking! Commoners who do not have the strength to be slaughtered by the merchants, and the merchants who do not have enough strength to be slaughtered by the nobles, who may be killed at any time by powerful mages, warriors, warlocks and other professionals. Even if God does not have enough strength, he will be dragged into the astral plane and into eternal sleep.
Henry calmed down and bowed slightly, then said to Amared, "Dear Lord Druid, I used to be just an ordinary town-dweller. Every day, I followed my mother to help bake bread and deliver goods. Until one day a druid passing by said to me that you are very gifted, and then he taught me a lot of teachings and knowledge of nature. I only became a first-class druid at the beginning of this year. I haven't been systematically taught these things, so please forgive me for my ignorance. ”
The Great Druid looked at him and nodded, saying, "I forgive you for your ignorance this time, and remember that everything that is unnatural is the enemy of the Druid." Since you have not studied systematically, then you can not be held accountable for your behavior this time. Give this the reward you deserve, and don't let me see you using magic items in the future. Now let's talk about the North Forest. Fado says you get the news that the number of pterosaurs in the northern forests is increasing rapidly! Where did I get the news? ”
"Baldur's Gate's largest thieves' union. According to the information provided by the leader, their men were chased by the pterosaurs there after tracking some mysterious people into the northern part of the Cloak Forest, for which they paid two good hands to divert the target before sending this information back. Henry replied.
The Great Druid thought for a moment, took a staff from the table, handed it to him, and said, "This is your well-deserved reward, now you can leave." I need to be quiet and talk to the forest spirits and see if I can get some additional information. After taking the staff, the two turned to leave.
Henry left the back of the treehouse expressionless, and after what had just happened, he had a terrible sense of the great druid. You can kill legendary mages and organizations such as Ilminster, Kelburn, the Seven Sisters of Magic, the Arcane Brotherhood, the Red Mage Order, the Masked Mage Guild, and the Shadow City. Some are legendary masters who can play you to death. A person who only threatens the weak is destined to become a weak himself.
Raskell patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, that's what Big Drew looks like." The druids here have almost all been reprimanded by him. It is said that he had a great hatred of magic when he was young. ”
"I'm fine, thank you for your kindness. If you can tell me where to find the Fa, I think I should go and say goodbye to her. Henry said, holding the staff.
"Don't you need me to take you there? Oh~oh~oh! There are some things that young people don't like to be mixed with by our elders. With that, Raskell looked at him with an expression that I understood.
"The relationship between them is just simple friends, and it's not as good as you think." He hastened to explain.
"No, no, no, you don't need to explain to me that I'm not Fado's father or relative. Walking along this path, the wooden house with a bamboo tube hanging on the door is Fado's home. Wishing you a wonderful evening tonight. After saying that, he waved at Henry and left.
It wasn't until Laskell was far away that Henry began to scrutinize the staff in his hand. The entire staff is made of oak wood, and the staff is magically applied to resist fire, damage, death, spells, and toxins. Gripping the staff, a stream of energy entered the body, and the skin began to become as hard as a tree. It seems that this is another special ability holder to permanently bless the Bark Technique. This is a druid-specific staff, and the sacred oak ensures that only druids can trigger the staff's special effects. Having received the necessary information, he began to walk towards Fado's house. It took less than five minutes to walk along the path of Raskell when I came across the cabin of Fado. There was a bamboo tube carved with a beast hanging in the doorway, and he walked to the door and knocked lightly. A few seconds later, Fado's voice came from inside: "Who is it?" Please leave me alone. ”
"It's me, Henry. I didn't die, I escaped. ”
"Oh my God! Wait, I'll open the door for you. As soon as Fado had finished speaking, he heard a murmur in the room. It didn't take long for the door to open. The girl rushed out and gave Henry a hug and said, "It's good that you're okay, I shut myself in my room and blamed myself for a day." How did you escape. ”
Henry felt the girl's concern and smiled and told her about his experience. After listening to it, Fado said with emotion: "You are really amazing, I have only heard of the death stabbing spider in the story." Come in and take a break, you must be tired after such an intense adventure. ”
"No, I'm going to go to the north to hunt the pterodactyls. The Shadow Druid made me feel a bit extreme and not a good fit for my path. I'm not welcome here. "Henry doesn't want to be with these shadow druids anymore, and if they find out they're still a mage, they're going to be captured and killed.
Fado was a little sad to hear Henry say this, but nodded anyway and said, "Okay then, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
