"Mike, come here. Knight Heroul, come here and listen together."

Two days ago, there was a light snowfall in Neibo Town, and there are still puddles of melting snow on the ground. Today is the last day of autumn, which means that from tomorrow until spring comes, all the snow falling on the ground will not melt again, and will continue to affect the living conditions of all living beings.

The female paladin has been following Zhao Mai for a week in a row, and the two have established a very strange friendship. They cannot be called intimacy or alienation. The two have no disgust towards each other, but they have a kind of awkwardness in their relationship. At present, it seems that this awkwardness has not caused any evil consequences, but just like winter always comes, if the problem is not solved, the problem will inevitably break out.

"You two are too idle and stick together all day long." Green said deliberately: "Only I am sober and know that your leisure is an illusion. Come and see the work I do for you! The news I bought from the guild is very accurate, and it is not comparable to the rumors in the tavern."

"What news makes you so concerned about, and you actually spend money on it?" Zhao Mai patted Green on the back, then picked up a piece of paper on the table: "Oh, a summary of the current situation of the Farmer's Forest? Where did you find it?"

"I just said that it's a guild! There are such easy-to-use channels, but you don't know how to use them." Green sighed, with a look of regret on his face: "You two, one wants to go to the Instagram Walker Community, and the other wants to go to the Great Druid, but now they have become trying hard toward each other. Ms. Hairoul, here is information about the nearby Great Druid. I think the second one seems to be the most likely, so you might as well pay more attention."

Zhao Mai moved a chair for Hairoul, and then the two sat down separately and read it carefully in the light of the blacksmith's stove.

The guild publishes and organizes tasks and collects a portion of commissions from them, which is its main source of income. However, the guild also has a full-time service, which is to sell various information. They use lie detection and other means to collect a large amount of intelligence by allowing adventurers who deliver tasks to prove their own adventure experience. This intelligence is refined and organized by a dedicated person and turned into the guild's own database. Most of the information is relied on to assess the difficulty of the task and score adventurers' ratings.

Green paid two hundred gold coins and asked the guild to sort out the news about the Farmer's Forest to form a reportable thing to Zhao Mai. Since the priest of Ramashtu was very active in the Farmer's Forest, most adventurers have been to the Farmer's Forest recently, the news was particularly comprehensive. Zhao Maizai read it carefully twice, and the conclusion he came to was frustrating: With his current ability level, it is basically impossible to travel through the Farmer's Forest to the north to the elves.

The productivity level of ordinary civilians in Graleone is about the same as that of the Middle Ages on Earth, but this does not mean that the world environment is also similar. In many places in Graleone, leaving the range of towns and roads means life danger. Wild beasts, monsters, and other fierce and barbaric intelligent creatures can be killed anytime and anywhere, which is much more dangerous than medieval Europe on Earth. If Zhao Mai wants to bypass the Farmer Forest, whether it is to walk the Raven Yuan in the Northeast or the Western sea route, he must circle a big circle or stay away from the large circle of people and civilizations. This is a dead end for him. No adventurer is willing to accompany him this trip. After all, everyone knows that even if you have money, you have to spend your life!

Zhao Mai sighed, knowing that he was in a deadlock. The Instagram Walker had already divided his troops. The druids who remained in the Farmer Forest must have been fighting with the monsters and defending the holy land of the Enlightenment Tree. The apprentices and the old and weak went to the elf city of Serbian, where there must be a druid teacher who could teach the apprentices.

Continuing learning and improvement of the druid profession requires four aspects of knowledge. One is the natural force. Through meditation and communication in the natural environment, the second is spells and spells. This requires learning from the druid predecessors while experiencing the natural force, so that the most efficient and balanced way of using the mantra is inherited. The third is knowledge related to animals and plants, as well as abilities related to the natural ecological environment, including the training and transformation of animal partners, and the fourth is various combat techniques.

If you rely solely on communication and absorption of natural force, Zhao Mai can indeed improve your physical fitness, strengthen the control of force, and pave the way for future advancement. This is certainly an indispensable foundation, just like basic physical fitness exercises. However, no matter how good your physical fitness is, it is not possible to not have a way to exert it.

He looked at Green, not knowing why the Crazy Rat had to collect such a report for him. In fact, from the exchange with the adventurers in Neibo Town, Zhao Mai had already gained a certain understanding of the dangers of the Farmer Forest, so he could stay patiently and work with the dwarf Sok to improve firearms and create grenades to prepare for counterattacking the servants of the Mother of Monsters who occupied the forest.

Green noticed Zhao Mai's gaze and pointed at the paper of Hairoul. Zhao Mai leaned over and the female paladin generously shared the information in his hand with him.

Zhao Mai looked at it for a while and understood the intention of his companion: "Look, there are clues about the Great Druid here, and it's still very close: two months ago, a team of adventurers discovered the druid's thorn altar on the edge of the swamp southwest of Neibo Town, and there was a big druid who called himself Wadsworth. This man was a little crazy, but it is undeniable that his magic power and knowledge were very rich. This man claimed to drive the goblins from Magnima City out of the sea, so he was fighting with the goblins."

"I saw this clue is very useful to us. Thank you Green." Hairoul smiled and said, "I don't know how much the news cost you. I'll make it up for you now."

Unexpectedly, Green waved his hand, pointed at Zhao Mai and said, "I only have one hope. When you go to find this big druid, bring him with you."

"Mike?" Heroul didn't expect Green to make this request and thought with his eyebrows down.

When staying in Neibo Town and collecting clues, it is not troublesome to have a Zhao Mai around you, after all, it is very safe here. Even if he is knowledgeable and very smart, he is just a level 1 druid after all, and it will be very dangerous in the wild. Moreover, Iomede's expedition knights rarely act with non-paladins and rarely act as nanny.

"Mad Rat" Green looked at the Paladin's expression change, and had read out what thoughts she had turned into in her mind. Before Heroul clearly refused, he said: "My brother Mike needs to find the Druid to continue his studies, and it has nothing to do with your mission. Just take him along the way and send him safely. I remember that as long as it does not affect your mission, Iomede's Paladin does not refuse to protect the caravan along the way."

"Well, you're right." Hairoul smiled and reached out to Zhao Mai and shook him: "You are welcome to walk all the way. Can you see it when you leave the morning after tomorrow?"

Zhao Mai really wants to say that he can take good care of himself. Even if he knows that Hairoul's strength is far higher than him, it feels a bit awkward to be protected by women, especially a beautiful woman of the same age.

Hairoul knew what Zhao Mai was thinking at a glance. She had seen similar expressions in many people. As a female paladin, too many men think that they are just good-looking vases, and contempt, indifference and even contempt happen frequently. According to the goddess's teachings, she should be directed towards her original heart and do not have to let these misunderstandings and prejudices affect herself, but why do she still feel a little sad when she sees such an expression on Mike's face?

Zhao Mai suddenly snorted. It was not contempt, but self-deprecating. He regained the energetic traveler and held Hairoul's hand: "I am indeed not as good as you now, and it would be more reasonable to have your protection. But I have full confidence and reason, and I will definitely catch up and surpass you. I wish us a good journey."
