Chapter 1492 Notes

"If possible, it is indeed better not to let your family know the truth about this world."

Marta sighed, shook her head and said: "If possible, I shouldn't have left my hometown to become a druid, but lived a good life as an ordinary person. Unfortunately, I still thought that being a druid was very important. It was cool, and at the same time, it could become a master. After all, in Europe at that time, it was very difficult for a country boy to turn over. As a result, after becoming a druid, I never saw my relatives and friends again. I couldn’t even attend their funerals because I had to protect the Celtic tree.”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows because he had never heard of the so-called "Celtic Tree". It seemed that it was unique to this parallel world.

However, for this "Celtic Tree", Liu Xing can roughly guess what it is, because the Druid is a clergy member of the Celtic family and the most prestigious person in the Celtic tribe. After all, in the tribal era, clergy often held concurrent jobs as doctors, astronomers and other professions, so they could be said to be the uncrowned kings of a tribe, and even tribal chiefs would not dare to disrespect them.

The most different thing between Druids and other peers is that they live in the forest most of the time, maintaining a certain distance from other tribe members. At the same time, they also worship oak acorns, so Druids also Gradually there were legends about being able to communicate with animals and plants, and of course this became a reality in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

Liu Xing still remembers a player saying on the forum that he became a Druid by chance. First of all, his character card was a Celtic, so he found an opportunity in the module to go to the nearby woods. , he actually found a reclusive Druid, thus turning his next module into a single-player job-changing module, and finally successfully became a Druid.

But what is a little embarrassing is that the Druid who has just changed profession is really very weak, because this profession only has two primary exclusive skills-listening (Druid) and medicine (Druid).

Among them, the listening skill allows you to listen to the thoughts of animals and plants after success. However, you can only listen but not speak before learning to talk (druid). Moreover, this skill seems to be very good, and you can have the opportunity to obtain it from the mouths of animals and plants. Key information, after all, who would pay attention to and guard against the flowers, plants, cats and dogs next to them?

However, in addition to some animals with certain intelligence, the thoughts of those flowers, trees and bugs stand out in two words - chaos. For example, if you want to know what an NPC just did nearby, the result is right next to him. The weeds were thinking about whether it would rain later, whether the grasshopper next door would jump on their head again, and what the giant thing in front of them was, and whether it was going to eat them. . . So expecting to gain information by listening to the thoughts of plants and bugs is almost impossible.

Of course, after being promoted to a senior druid, you can gain the ability to read the memories of animals and plants. Then you can make all the animals and plants in the module your teammates, but you just want to become a senior druid. Yeah, that's even harder than being promoted to the Cthulhu area.

As for the function of the medicine skill, it can make the herbal medicine take effect faster and have a better therapeutic effect. However, this skill also looks very good. Unfortunately, the actual treatment effect is not as good as taking some medicine, and medicine is also required. It takes longer, but in a wild environment lacking drugs, this skill can still achieve miraculous effects at certain times.

Therefore, in the first few modules of becoming a druid, the player basically did not use his professional abilities very much, and later failed to tear up the card when he was promoted to the intermediate druid module.

"The Celtic Tree is a very ancient oak tree. It is said that this tree gave us druids unique powers. However, on the surface, the Celtic Tree is just an ordinary oak tree. And its resistance to damage is similar to that of an ordinary oak tree. This means that an ordinary person can destroy the Celtic tree casually, so we druids will take turns guarding the Celtic tree to prevent it from being damaged. It died due to some inexplicable reasons. For example, there was a sudden heavy rain and the Celtic tree was almost drowned..."

Having said this, Marta showed a somewhat emotional expression, "Because unless we druids reach the final stage of growth, that is, great druids like me, our combat effectiveness can be reduced by being vulnerable to a single blow." Of course, even I today may not be able to defeat a strong man with bare hands in a head-on battle, so the druids guarding the Celtic Tree will forge a village to make themselves look like He is an ordinary villager, so as not to let others notice the strangeness here... This is simply an act, making the area where the Celtic Tree is located look like an ordinary village."

Liu Xing thought for a while and raised his question, "Mr. Marta, I think you are trying to hide your identity by doing this. You might as well plant more oak trees near the Celtic tree so that the Celtic tree can be hidden." When the time comes, wouldn’t it be nice to place a few secret sentries nearby, and when you find someone who might be harmful to the Celtic Tree, stand up and guide him to other places?”

Marta smiled and shook her head, and replied seriously: "Although the Celtic tree looks no different from an ordinary oak tree, it is a magical existence that gives us druid power, so next to it It cannot grow other flowers, plants and trees, so if you see it in the forest, it will be very conspicuous; so we thought of building a village, and then placing the Celtic tree in the village would not be so conspicuous. "

Liu Xing nodded and said a little embarrassed: "So that's it. It seems that I am still a little self-righteous."

Marta continued: "Originally, each new Druid only needs to stay in that village for about three years to learn and practice some basic knowledge. After that, he only needs to go back to guard duty when it is his turn. It took about a year, but when it was my turn, a big thing happened, that is, those damn Romans launched an attack on us, so in order to avoid mistakes, we did not dare to rotate anymore, so I and other The druids who stayed in the village became ordinary villagers. Of course, this is much better than other druids, because there were not even a single druid left outside the village under the siege of the Romans."

"Since then, our Druid faction has been in a state of decline. Except for our disguised village, the Druids in other places basically act alone, and they don't dare to accept disciples casually anymore, so when I leave that When I was in the village, I had only seen a dozen druids in the outside world after traveling for hundreds of years. At the same time, they did not dare to reveal their identities to outsiders. As for why I left the village, the main reason was that I was too old. It only made sense that I had to die, so I had no choice but to fake my death and leave the village, but fortunately the Celtic tree has remained until now."

Having said this, Marta shook her head helplessly, "Although we great druids are very powerful, we can only shine as auxiliaries, so now we can only hire some magicians to protect us. Celtic Tree, for example, the reason why I opened this magic notebook shop is to allow a certain self-righteous magician to find his apprentice."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say: "Oh, so whoever chooses his notebook can become his apprentice?"

Marta smiled, shook her head and said: "No, no, no, actually, this guy prepared several notebooks, and then designed a very special spell in them. This spell has quite high requirements for the caster in all aspects, but The effect of this spell is that a message will appear after it is released, guiding the caster to find that guy to become a disciple. To be honest, I think that guy's vision is still too high, and it is impossible to have an apprentice, because this spell is Let me release it, and the success rate is only about 20%."

Since he can become the highest being among druids, Liu Xing can be sure that Marta's talent should be very good. As a result, he may not be able to release that spell now, so if it is him, he can only determine the great success. Use it when the time comes.

But having said that, since the success rate is not high enough, then use the quantity to make up. As long as the spell is released enough times, there will always be a chance of success.

But Marta saw Liu Xing's thoughts, so she said directly: "This spell requires a unique material, and this material is, to put it bluntly, the special paper made by that guy, so if someone wants to practice this spell If you do, you can only get such a piece of paper from me, which means that everyone has only one chance to cast this spell; and now that guy's notebooks have been sent out, the next batch of notebooks may not arrive until next year. So Liu Xing, don’t think too much.”

After saying this, Marta handed Liu Xing a notebook. Although this notebook seemed to be old, it was only a few decades old.

"After I read the story you wrote, Liu Xing, I knew who the weirdo was, so I decided to give you this notebook, because this notebook records what the weirdo is, but you can also Don’t worry, this notebook is given to you personally by me and does not occupy your purchase quota.”

Seeing Liu Xing take the notebook, Marta continued: "The owner of this notebook was a paratrooper during World War II. He was separated from the main force due to strong winds during the airborne landing. He could only find a way out in the forest alone. However, Fortunately, he quickly found a few comrades who had the same experience, and he felt a lot more relaxed. After all, wandering alone in the forest behind enemy lines, he might encounter enemies or terrifying beasts at any time. This is disturbing to think about. Mental stress; as a result, they encountered the same mythical creature as the weirdo, and then they spent three days in fear and uneasiness. In the end, only the owner of the notebook left the forest, but by then he was already crazy. "

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown. Although he had guessed that the weirdo was a mythical creature before, he didn't expect that it could kill several heavily armed paratroopers in three days. . . All right. This is actually not difficult for most mythical creatures, but judging from Marta's description, this mythical creature's attack method may be very weird.

However, Marta had no intention of telling Liu Xingming. After handing the notebook to Liu Xing, she gave Liu Xing some points, and then asked Liu Xing to find someone else to come in for the discussion.

As a result, Liu Xing walked out of the employee lounge with his notebook and brought in Shi Zixuan who was waiting outside.

Looking at the notebook in Liu Xing's hand, Tian Qing and others were curious about what was going on, so Liu Xing repeated what Marta said.

"Well, that weirdo turned out to be a mythical creature, but I have never heard of a similar mythical creature." Zhang Jingxu said holding a notebook: "But I did find a good notebook. If I guessed correctly, It should be left by a senior of Huaxia Dao Sect, because it has the logo of Hua Xia Dao Sect on the cover, and I turned the page and found nothing unusual."

Liu Xing looked at the notebook in Zhang Jingxu's hand. It looked like a thread-bound book, indeed it seemed a bit like it came from China.

As for Tian Qing, there is already an extra notebook in his hand. The cover of this notebook looks very feminine because there are many flowers and plants hand-painted on it.

Seeing Liu Xing looking at him, Tian Qing smiled and said: "I don't know why, but I fell in love with this notebook at a glance. Its former owner seemed to be a priestess from a certain country in South America. It contains many records." There are few magical prescriptions that can allow users to gain various ability bonuses in a short period of time."

"If this is true, then Tian Qing, your position in our group can directly reach the top, because we are just short of such a pharmacist." Yin En said with a smile: "Unlike the doctor Liu Xing , I haven’t done my job a few times in so many years.”

Liu Xing was a little depressed and wanted to refute, but soon found that he couldn't refute at all, because after experiencing so many modules, he really hadn't used the doctor's professional skills a few times. . .

So Liu Xing could only roll his eyes, and then stood in front of the bookshelf to choose his favorite magic notes.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Liu Xing felt a little dazzled because there were so many magic notes in front of him.
