Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 108: Wadsworth III

   "What kind of weird person will I meet?" Zhao Mai asked curiously. Since Wadsworth uttered the word "ontology", the person walking outside should be "separated", or it would be more appropriate to call it avatar. In Zhao Mai's knowledge system, there are more villains with a lot of clones, or those who are proficient in this technology. It seems that good people are single against evil, and die when they die. But the bad guys came out after one death, and some of them didn't even bother to say "I will come back."

  Random thinking full of mind, does not affect Zhao Mai's actions. He followed the strong Wadsworth, all the way to the depths of the mangrove forest. The sky was already dark at this time, it was supposed to be time to eat and rest, but the natural force around was still strong, Zhao Mai did not feel hungry, nor did he feel sleepy. An arc of new moon rises from the horizon, and the cold and sharp moonlight is like a blade, scratching a gap on the black curtain. Accompanied by moonlight, a gray-white mist rose from the swamp, hazily covering the black ground, and the lower Ye Ci aunt. Only the reed could stick his head out in the mist, shaking gently with the breeze.

  In the distance, a crow flew by, and the quack made the night colder. It swept over the mist, and the rolling white mist entangled its wings, like pale tentacles. Zhao Mai fought a cold war and suddenly remembered many horror movie scenes. Many bones stood up from the fog, with orange-red light in the skull, forming an army of undead. Where the footsteps of the dead have traversed, extinction swept everything.

   "What are you thinking?" Wadsworth said suddenly, "Your natural force is a bit unstable. Is it due to fatigue?"

   "Uh, I'm just thinking about it, there's no problem." Zhao Mai smiled awkwardly.

   The thick fog of the swamp stopped when it reached the boundary of the mangrove forest. It seemed that they also knew whose site it was. The crow flew through the thick fog, entered the mangrove area, stopped on the branch to rest, tidying up its feathers. After a while, a group of crows flew over and stopped beside the previous crows. They are no longer noisy, quietly, looking around with a pair of red eyes.

   "They won't hurt my friends, right?" Zhao Mai asked worriedly.

"They won't hurt anyone, especially your friends. They are my eyes and ears, and they bring me news from the swamp. What bad things are the goblins doing again, where there are dangerous traps, do adventurers enter again? This dangerous place." Wadsworth tapped the thickest tree with his staff, and its roots moved away, revealing the sloping hole below. "I'm inside, you can go in."

   Only by squatting down can Zhao Mai enter this hole. This is a warm and comfortable hole, without any dirty or smell, and no insects to drill around. Although there is no furniture here, the twisted roots can be used as tables, chairs or even beds. On top of his head and on his side, the fluorescent moss barely provided lighting, allowing Zhao Mai to see the path under his feet and the direction to go.

   "You have to go a little bit forward, young druid," Wadsworth's voice came from the front, no different from his clone, except that it was very soft, swaying like a whisper in the wind. Zhao Mai quickly walked a few steps, and finally reached a circular cave, which should be directly under a certain big tree. When the roots come to the top of the head, they go around in all directions, leaving space while holding on to the soil, forming a stable wall here. Here is no longer a wilderness style, but a warm and comfortable home. Several carpets with completely inconsistent styles were spread around the room, patched quilts and pillows were lying in the corners, and a kettle was hissing with steam, but there was no flame burning underneath.

  If Wadsworth hadn't deliberately deceived, then the halfling in front of him should be his body-or to be precise, the front halfling. The highest of this race can only reach the waist of an adult, always baby face, always child skin. Except that a lot of work will make them a little mature, otherwise they will always look like a child.

   Everyone likes halflings, because everyone likes to eat. Of course, it's not eating halflings, that would be too evil. Halflings are good gardeners, good cooks, master brewers, and master cigarettes. Although this sentence is like "dwarves are good blacksmiths", it is a bit too absolute and even prejudiced, but it also fully reflects the reason for the popularity of this race.

   However, the halfling that Zhao Mai saw was old and weak, with a layer of hard bark covering the skin, and it would make a toothy rubbing sound when moving. Druids have a spell called "Treeskin", which can attach an extra layer of bark armor to people. But that spell will never affect people's actions, let alone give people such a terrifying appearance.

   "Hello, let me introduce you formally. I am Wadsworth, a halfling druid." He spoke in a very soft voice, and he could only hear him with a calm mind. Then he stretched out his hand, and a tree root dropped from the ceiling and stopped in front of Zhao Mai. There are five branches at the top of the root, like a palm.

   Zhao Mai considered for a moment, walked around the root of the tree, and shook hands with the halfling. Like the previous Wadsworth clone, the halfling in front of him has no sense of natural force. How does he manipulate these trees? How did he survive?

"It's nice to meet the Druid again. He is still a vigorous and active-minded apprentice." Wadsworth sighed: "It's been a long time. I can only meet goblins, beasts, and greedy or brave adventures. I don’t trust them, just as they don’t trust the force of nature. You are a person who is willing to learn, and you are just starting out. It is the best time."

   "What do you do in the best time?" Zhao Mai asked.

"When the tree is strongest, it is not the branches and leaves, but the seeds breaking out of the soil. That is the time when life conquered death, and that is the time when I first connected myself to the Force. At that time, I made a wish, hope To live with the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon shine together. I hope to become the new **** in charge of the forces of nature~www.NovelMTL.com~ sheltering generations of druids to grow."

   "Uh, what a big wish." Zhao Mai scratched his head: "Obviously you failed, right?"

"Yes. It is impossible for a **** to be trapped in a tree hole. Of course, it is even less possible for a **** to lose progress and imprison himself." Wadsworth smiled, and the bark fell off his face, revealing... …New bark. He said in a hoarse voice: "My failure lies in being too proud. I have not gained the power of God, so I already have the shortcomings of God, how can I succeed? I have been to the Infinite Walker community, at that time I could still My legs move, I can still use my eyes to see. I saw the tree of comprehension, and the wisdom of countless predecessors warned me that I would fail, and then I was persuaded."

"'You are just the thoughts of the druids, and the wisdom of the druids is not the force of nature!" That's how I answered them at the time. After that, I came here quietly, trying to create with my own power A new tree of comprehension. But this time, I will record the idea of ​​the force of nature and learn from it the wisdom of the way of nature. Flowers, plants, fish, insects, wind, rain, snow and fog can leave their comprehension here."

"So I was trapped here, and even my own natural force was assimilated by the mangroves. Once I left, I would lose all my vitality and only become mud and dust." Wadsworth smiled bitterly: "I wanted to be a god, but I became a tree demon. I have only one wish left in my life, and that is to see the tree of comprehension goodbye, tell it my mistakes, and alert future generations."

The tree-shaped halfling tilted his body, turned his head, and looked at the flower pot behind Zhao Mai: "Did you hear that, little comprehension tree~www.NovelMTL.com~ Welcome book friends to visit and read, the latest, fastest, The hottest serial works are all at ~www.NovelMTL.com~ mobile users, please go to read.
