Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 "So, the three apprentices of Eagle Wing are very likely still alive and captured as hostages?" After hearing what Zhao Mai said, Joseph frowned deeply. He turned to ask the other druids: "Apart from them, are there any apprentices outside the community who have not returned?"

　　 "No more, Elder Joseph. The four people taken by the Dal brothers are the only apprentices outside before."

　　 "Well, so I can rest assured." Joseph asked Zhao Mai, "Is there anything else I need to add?"

　　 Zhao Mai shook his head. He has reported the Kobold's attack, the rope being cut and falling into the water, and everything later discovered by the Druid Elders. "Because of this unexpected situation, can my parade mission be completed?"

　　 "Yes, your apprentice mission is complete. You can now follow the team to the north and take shelter in the city of the elves."

　　 "I don't want to go north, but go south." Zhao Mai shook his head: "I need to go back to Neibo Town."

　　 "Why?" Joseph was a little strange: "The forests in the south are a little bit unsafe. You are just an apprentice, and safety cannot be guaranteed, and we can't **** you there."

　　 "The Smokey River can take me all the way south. When I reach Lang'er Town, I will find a boat or land. I can always reach it."

Joseph and the other elders exchanged opinions with their eyes and telepathy, and then nodded in agreement: "Since this is the direction you choose, we respect it. The calf who leaves the group may lose their lives, but the tiger must be self-reliant. You go. Ask Mr. Xilin to report. She is still counting the number of people going north. If you need anything, let Xilin prepare it for you."

　　 Zhao Mai said goodbye with a smile. After he left, the elders started a dialogue in Joseph's thinking space.

　　 "Are you sure of his loyalty? He is just an apprentice, and he still can't see the character from the heart of nature. Don't you worry about giving him that thing?"

　　 Joseph shook his head: "I can't be 100% sure, just like none of us can predict tomorrow's weather completely. But my feeling tells me that Mike is a person who can be trusted."

Master Duncan rarely speaks on such matters, but this time he said: "Mike is not our only back. It is okay to leave it to him. We can't pin all our expectations in the North and the West. Nan, this is a good sign."

　　 Several druid masters discussed, and finally agreed to Joseph's proposal with a slight advantage.

　　 Zhao Mai returned home like an arrow, first returned to where he slept, dug out the disease-eliminating medicine buried in the ground, and solemnly stuffed it into his backpack. After that, he found Teacher Xi Lin and explained his whereabouts to her.

　　 Not surprisingly, although the Elf teacher opposed Zhao Mai's plan, he respected his choice. "You are no longer a teenager. Compared to Lucius and others, you are older and more mature. I can't change the things you decide. I just hope you will be careful and be careful."

　　 "Thank you for your teaching, Mrs. Celine, I will come back to learn from you."

"Well, I'm either here or in the elven city of Serverion. I have to see when the storm will pass." There is a trace of sorrow in Celine's eyebrows, as if she is for the druid. The future of the community is worried. However, she saw that there were many Druid apprentices who were preparing to go on the road not far away, so she hurriedly hid the sadness. "Okay, everyone's time is tight, so I won't say more. You have completed an apprenticeship task and can cast a first-level spell. According to tradition, I should give you an apprentice gift."

　　 After speaking, she turned back to her tree house, and it took a while before she came back. She held a branch about one meter long in her hand, which was straight and without any forks. Elf Celine said with an awkward smile: "I was going to give you my vajra stick, but suddenly I remembered that it was a reward for a certain task. I didn't have a second one if I gave it to you. The grown-up staff, after you settle down, find a place to insert it into the fertile soil, water from time to time, it can grow into a woodland staff-although it may take a long time. The Force and You are with you."

　　 "Thank you." Zhao Mai felt something was wrong, but still took it. After giving a gentle hug to the wizard teacher, he even said goodbye to the Infinite Walker community.

　　 Zhao Mai walked outside with the stored grain, but he did not expect the puppy to take it under the big tree where Dalli lived, and barked at him. Zhao Mai slapped his head and scolded himself for being too anxious and excited for forgetting such an important thing. Dalle is dead, his chest full of potions is still on the tree, and there are some equipment he used in the past. He was about the same size as Dal, so he should find a new armor.

　　 vines rolled them up, and soon sent them down. Zhao Mai also changed a full set of equipment, but the backpack was only half full-so as not to sink him in the water again. Adjusting the straps on the shoulders, ribs and waist of the leather armor, tightening the leather helmet, and adapting to the newly acquired delicate wooden shield. He also tied a jungle machete to his thigh, which can be used as a machete when necessary. But the biggest gain is the various potions in the backpack.

　　 A team of about thirty people left the community north, and Zhao Mai was alone. He has fully learned the lesson from the last time and must not let the weight of the backpack hinder his mobility. During the apprentice parade mission, there are still people who can slow down and accompany themselves. This time there is no such good thing, but they can only take care of themselves. The food reserve is busy using his nose to determine the surrounding environment. It hasn't grown up yet and cannot share the burden for itself. Maybe even if he grows up, he won't be willing.

　　 Zhao Mai uses the wooden stick given to him by Mr. Celine as a cane~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to help him walk. He didn't believe that this thing would grow into a staff. All the wands are manufactured and require a lot of energy from the maker. If a branch can grow into a woodland staff by itself, it is really a divine power that breaks the rules. But having said that, this wooden stick is unexpectedly strong, regardless of the size, and feels good to the touch. Even if the palm of your hand is sweaty, it won't slip, so it's just right for a walking stick.

　　 Along the way, he can often see animal guards on alert. Sometimes it is a tiger lying in ambush behind a bush, sometimes it is a giant python hiding among the branches. These are the druid's animal companions, and may not be with him for a while, but they still obey the druid's orders. The food reserves seem to be able to distinguish between enemy and friend by nose. It is possible that they smell the infinite community of them? In short, Zhao Mai is often startled by these lurking sentinels, but when he sees those animals ignore him, he gradually feels relieved.

　　 This time he had a clear purpose, and he went into battle lightly. It took half the time to get to the fume bank in less than half the time. After that, he spent more than half a day intercepting six relatively straight branches, four side by side, with two ropes tied as tight as possible at both ends, and then the remaining two were cut off, tied at both ends of the raft to provide lateral pulling force and prevent the raft. Rolled to the left and right and overturned. The raft couldn't stand people, and could only sit on it straddle, but it was enough to provide the buoyancy needed by Zhao Mai, and to ensure that the musket stayed away from the water and kept dry.

　　 The grain reserve sits on the bow, and Zhao Mai sits in the middle. A flat piece of bark is the paddling, which can help adjust the direction of the raft.
