Chapter 112 Delay
Zhao Mai woke up suddenly, feeling weak and weak, as if he was recovering from a serious illness. Even if the surroundings are surrounded by strong natural force, this situation will not improve at all. "It seems that I am too greedy." Zhao Mai breathed heavily and said to himself.
"You are too reckless. You actually tried to combine my method with other druids' methods as soon as you came up." A tree root was placed on Zhao Mai's neck, and a natural force wandered around in his body. "Well, fortunately, it's not an incurable trouble. Just remember not to meditate on the Force recently, don't perform any actions related to the Force, and don't use my method to directly absorb the Force."
Zhao Mai nodded and said: "I vaguely feel the same way. I have to stop temporarily and wait for my body to recover. By the way, I saw some strange things while meditating. Can you..."
"No matter what you see, it is the force of nature that allows you to see it. There is no need to tell others." Wadsworth said: "I only have one hope. When you achieve something, leave your feelings behind. among the trees, to bless future generations with grace.”
"This is what it should be." Zhao Mai agreed. "Will you always be in this state from now on? Do you want the Druid elders from the Departed Community to help you?"
"If I could solve it, I would have done it myself." The halfling sighed: "There is no need to trouble them. I have fulfilled my wish. I have already seen the Enlightenment Tree, so naturally I don't need to see them again. Back then, I and them The parting of ways was not very pleasant.”
This is a matter between Wadsworth and the Departed Walker community, and it is not easy for Zhao Mai to interfere. Some things do not need to be judged as right or wrong or superior or inferior. Maybe it is better not to meet than to meet. But in any case, the halfling did not cherish it. Instead, he told Zhao Mai his own understanding and the druid's self-cultivation method, which can be regarded as his teacher. Zhao Mai didn't want to see the halfling become depressed after fulfilling his wish. After all, according to the halfling, he is already like a big tree and will not be affected by his lifespan.
"Actually, the path you took is not wrong." Zhao Mai said, "Let me tell you what I think."
What Zhao Mai told Wadsworth was what he saw in a movie. Animals and plants on the entire planet are connected together through neural networks to jointly maintain the ecological balance of the planet. The planet itself has its own will and even the ability to fight back against foreign invaders. Such a planet has a strong ecosystem that can ensure species diversity and balance. But there is also a huge disadvantage, that is, it is almost impossible to develop technological or magical civilization.
"So, do you think I should continue to expand the scale and use myself to form such a natural force communication network?" The halfling was shocked. He did not expect that Mike's ambition was actually greater than him. “Isn’t it sacrilege to replace the ecological environment with my own?”
"There is a magic god who makes a magic net to regulate spellcasters... Well, that's another world." Zhao Mai scratched his head, then waved his hand: "This is just a conjecture of mine, and nothing has been realized in Golarion. Possibly. Not to mention other things, the gods wouldn’t be willing either.”
"It's a terrible environment to spread your spiritual tentacles throughout the world through plants." The halfling also figured it out, knowing that Zhao Mai was trying to persuade him in disguise. "Don't worry, although I am integrated with the mangrove, I have no intention of expanding. At most, I will occupy a place in this swamp and try the method you mentioned. If we can use wild communication to open up the relationship between plants and animals Information barriers, this may be a major breakthrough."
"As long as you have something to do, that's fine." It took Zhao Mai a long time to finally get up from the ground. Breathing heavily, he put the swaying little flower back into his backpack and said, "Now I have to go see my friends. They are all sleeping and need someone to take care of them. And when they wake up and see me missing, maybe they will Conflict with you."
"Go ahead. Remember not to tell them my true identity. I will send a Wadsworth to meet you." The halfling said: "As for the Departed Walker community being attacked by the Lamashtu priests, I can't help. .As you can see, I am completely trapped here and I can’t go even if I want to.”
"I understand, I will think of another way."
Sure enough, as Wadsworth said, a group of people fell asleep and woke up one after another two days later. The paladins all looked around with wary eyes, their swords in their hands eager to try. However, after Zhao Mai explained to them and saw that everyone was in good spirits and healthy, he forgave Wadsworth's behavior.
Strong Butcher was the one who gained the most. After being nourished by the force of nature, the scars on his face and body began to fade, and the original strong facial lines began to reappear. "If the skin is updated a few times, your scars will be basically invisible." Zhao Mai made a judgment after checking: "Congratulations, at least you will become handsome again."
"I'd rather be ugly and vicious. A handsome face won't do any good on the battlefield." Butcher scratched hard with his nails. In addition to causing pain and trouble, such behavior will not prevent the growth of the new face - it may even accelerate the growth of the new face. process. Zhao Mai was too lazy to tell him, and knew that he couldn't stop him, so he just let him go.
The most troublesome person in the entire team is Zhao Mai. While everyone else was feeling refreshed, he was stuck in a state of malaise. Wadsworth said that he was too immersed in exploring the force of nature and exceeded his physical and mental load. At this time, no matter whether it is positive energy or natural force, all external forces are of little use. He could only rest slowly and rely on his own body functions to make up for the shortfall.
"Sorry for wasting your time." Zhao Mai's face has always been very pale, and he can't cheer up for anything. Does he need to take a nap?
Hazel has already talked with Wadsworth (a clone) and knows Zhao Mai's current physical condition. She comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter, you can rest assured and cultivate yourself. Although I have been struggling with him for a week, it seems that I still need to discuss with the Archdruid. At least, his attitude has relaxed now, and he may be able to help us deal with the farmer. The Lamashtu monster of the forest.”
The halfling Wadsworth cannot go north to help. Zhao Mai knows this, but he will not say it. Because once told, the Paladin will not wait, but will leave here in a hurry. Even if Zhao Mai's body does not recover, they will not miss him for a moment. Without the help of the Paladin, Zhao Mai and Butcher can pass through the Goblin's perimeter defense again? This is really risky.
Moreover, this did not take into account the possibility that Butcher would leave with the Paladin after assessing the risk, leaving him behind.
So Zhao Mai would only encourage Hazel with a playful smile: "You know, Druid's temper is a bit weird. We stay with natural creatures all day long, and we are self-sufficient. We have no special needs, so it is difficult to communicate. .”
"I think you're fine. There's nothing difficult to communicate with." Hazel smiled slightly and said, "I will definitely complete my mission and will never let the goddess down!"
"Speaking of the goddess, what kind of order did she give you? Is there any deeper meaning in finding the archdruid?"
"What are you trying to misinterpret?" Hazel pretended to be very wary. After such a long period of contact, she discovered that Mike's other abilities were average, but he was extremely capable of twisting ideas and making mud. Is this also the druid's way of balance? The female paladin was a little undecided.
Two people were sitting together and communicating, but someone came over to ruin the scenery. The tall Paladin Camilla separated the two of them with her figure, and then said to Hazel: "Captain, we found a strange thing approaching here from the sky."
