Sword and Magic and Taxi

Zhao Mai and his dog went down the river on a raft, knowing nothing about what happened in the farmer's forest. Along the way, from time to time, they heard angry roars from the depths of the forest, as if some large beasts were irritated. Sometimes, the earth-shattering sounds during the battle can reach Zhao Mai's ears, making people curious, what kind of scene is happening deep in the forest? But this curiosity will not reduce Zhao Mai's IQ, he knows exactly what he wants to do.

Fortunately, there is no turbulence in the Youfu River, so the rafting is very calm, and there is no danger along the way. It took Zhao Mai and A Liang two days and one night to finally see Lang'er Town, at least they can sleep again without soaking in the water. This is a town whose main business is farming and iron smelting. Every day, cargo ships transport the products out, passing through the calm and safe Ash Lake, to Neibo Town. Zhao Mai only spent a little money to board such a boat that night.

You just came out of the river, and you continued on your way? The captain of the cargo ship was an experienced old man, and he took his son to eat and live on the lake. If you're not in such a hurry, you can stay in the town for one night. Alyssa from the Grass Carp Inn is a passionate beauty.

Uh, I do have something urgent. I have to go back to visit my father. He is sick.

The captain saw that Zhao Mai didn't seem to be lying, so he agreed with him to go with him. Recently, the farmer's forest has become more and more unsafe. It is said that there are terrible monsters haunting it, and they will change into human form and sneak into the town to do bad things. The mayor of Wolf's Ear Town has sent two waves of messengers to seek help from the druids, but there is no news yet.

Zhao Mai was dressed like a druid, and he also had a dog with him. The old man had never seen such a smart dog in his life, and he knew where he was best to stay without commanding him at all. It stands to reason that he should wait for the druid to meet the mayor, at least the mayor can have a chance to ask about the situation of the druid. But the kid seemed really anxious to go home, so he curled his lips to save this trouble.

This is an old sailing ship. When sailing, the mast swayed slightly under the blowing of the wind, making a creaking sound all the time. Zhao Mai meditated in this sound, connecting his body with the force of nature, and feeling the difference between the breath of the lake and the forest. Actively participating in adventures and placing yourself in an environment where you must work hard to survive can certainly stimulate people's potential and promote growth. But the passive practice of meditation is also essential. After all, movement and stillness are both natural states, and balance must also be achieved.

Young man, there seems to be something wrong ahead. The captain set up an awning and looked to the south from a distance. Why do I feel that there are many smoke columns in Nebo Town?

Zhao Mai turned over and stood up, and tried to look at the place where the sky and water meet in the south. Indeed, as the captain said, a few black smoke clouds can be vaguely seen floating towards the sky, which is definitely not cooking smoke, and it is definitely not a good sign. Let's move on and see what happens? Maybe it's just a fire or something.

The captain nodded: Son, maybe you are right. Let's go for a while.

The closer you got, the more obvious the smoke column was, and Zhao Mai's heart sank. The number of fireworks has exceeded ten. This is obviously not an accidental fire, but more like a situation of being besieged and attacked. The captain frowned and looked at the water, suddenly paled in shock, immediately turned the tug, adjusted the sail, and turned to the west bank.

Zhao Mai was staggered and asked quickly, Captain, why did you turn around?

Look, there are water waves coming from Neibo Town, but there is no boat. It stands to reason that at this time, whether it is a normal merchant ship or a boat fleeing for life, the lake should not be calm. Well, do you understand now?

Someone or something was blocking the waterway, and Zhao Mai quickly came to the same conclusion. Captain, if you decide not to go to Nebo Town, can you drop me off on the east coast so that I can continue on my way.

Which way are you going? There's war ahead! It's not ordinary villains who can block waterways, at least ordinary robbers can't do that. Listen to me, go on the road from the west bank, or we go straight to Goduria. Baron Peters has The castle can protect you!

I insist on docking from the east side, and you can leave after you leave me. Zhao Mai said: I have a reason to go.

You! The captain was about to refute, when he suddenly found that the druid's hand had already touched the handle of the weapon behind him, and his dog also put on a defensive posture. Damn it, this job was purely caused by bad luck. I must have been short of prayers to the goddess of luck Desna recently, which is why I was smeared with bad luck.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn half a circle, turn around and head east.

There is no wharf on the east bank, and cargo ships dare not get too close, so Zhao Mai and the grain reserve had to wade ashore. When they stood on the dry ground, the cargo ship had already gone far away.

Reserve grain, you should follow me home to have a look. I will treat you to a big meal, you must know that Chinese food is the greatest food in the world.

The grain reserve barked twice, but he didn't sound very excited. Looking at it, Zhao Mai sighed a long sigh: Oh, you really understand my thoughts. Sock and Green are still in Nebo Town, of course I am worried about them. But you know, it's okay to go back quickly It's important that I have family in another world and my father who needs my care.

Wang! The food reserve probably understood, and began to wag its tail at Zhao Mai. People sometimes need to make trade-offs. I'm just a first-level druid. What can I do, right?

Just talking non-stop like this, Zhao Mai couldn't completely get rid of the state of hesitation. He kept hinting to himself: This is not my world, I am just a taxi driver, not a savior.

The black plume of smoke rising near Neibo Town in the south looked so dazzling in the sky, every time he saw it, it touched Zhao Mai's nerves. He had to lower his head, focus on the ground, and try not to think about what was happening in the distance.

Not looking for trouble doesn't mean that trouble won't find you. Seeing that he was about to reach the place where he hid THE·CHE, the food reserves suddenly rushed into the woods. Stop, what are you doing?! Zhao Mai couldn't stop shouting, so he had to follow.

The food reserves ran fast, not caring at all the pain caused by the sharp thorns of the bushes. Zhao Mai followed closely, had already taken the machete in his hand, and hacked a way hard. Only tens of meters deep into the woods, Zhao Mai could smell the faint smell of blood in the air, and couldn't help becoming nervous.

Bypassing a clump of heather and following the sound of barking, Zhao Mai couldn't help being stunned by what he saw. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed up immediately, chanting the healing spell for minor injuries with a trembling voice.

The ranger Karl lay on the body of the python Long Worm and fell into a pool of blood. Both he and the python were badly injured, and the blood from the body mixed under the body and formed a small blood puddle. Seeing the grain reserve and Zhao Mai, the boa constrictor nodded slightly, and pointed to Karl with his tongue.

The natural force released by the healing spell for minor injuries, mixed with Zhao Mai's anxious sweat, gave Karl the power to heal. After a spell, the wound was still there, but the bleeding finally stopped.
