Chapter 428: The Banished Druid

At present, the combat spell system of many people in Xia takes protection and mobility as the core. Breaking spells and damage are the second. When raising the spell level, protection and mobility are also given priority.
Therefore, when choosing the first spell to raise the rank, Xia Duo had two choices, one was to raise the [Mage Armor] to 5th, and the other was [Short Teleport].
However, in terms of time-consuming consideration, Xia Duo finally chose [Mage Armor] to upgrade from level 1 to level 4. Xia Duo knows this spell very well.
However, Xia Duo just learned about teleportation not long ago. He was not confident that he could reach the fifth magic net by raising the level of the 4th level spell [Short Teleport] in a short time.
After all, there are a series of motivations behind any choice.
On the other side, Leiden also came to the residential area south of the Altar Square. Because he had deliberately paid attention to that Atwood when he arranged his accommodation yesterday, he directly found Atwood’s residence.
The Langas people haven't notified them to go to the cafeteria to eat, but they have distributed a lot of steamed buns as food.
When he got here, Leiden saw Atwood squatting by the fire pit in the house, roasting steamed buns. The pot hung above was still burning with water, gurgling, and steaming water vapor rushed directly into the roof room. Beam.
"Atwood!" Leiden showed the holy light in his hand and said hello.
Atwood quickly put down the branch in his hand, stood up, bowed and looked cautious, "My lord, what's your order?"
"Don't hide it?"
"Don't dare to hide."
"Let's talk about it, who are you? Where are you from?" Leiden summoned [The Realm of Honesty], staring at Atwood with scorching eyes, "Don't try to deceive our Lord's fair eyes!"
A faint sacred brilliance spread out, which contained a lofty will that mortals could perceive mechanically and ruthlessly.
Atwood's originally respectful expression gradually became calm, and his originally bowed body straightened up, "I am from the [Golden Oak Branch] from Sevinton, and I am the secret elder of the Golden Oak Branch."
The Golden Oak Branch? Elder secret text?
These two names were completely unfamiliar to Leiden, but from the word oak branch, he could also guess that Atwood was probably a druid before. Leiden kept quiet and continued to ask:
"Then why did you lose your holy power? How did you fall into the Netheril River? What is the purpose of coming to Daxia?"
Compared with the previous question, this question is very important, and [Honest Domain] does not have the effect of compulsory interrogation. If Atwood refuses, he can not answer at all.
But the consequences of refusal need to be borne by him. There is almost no hesitation. He immediately replied: "I was exiled by the cult because of the conflict of ideas within the cult. After I left the cult, the Holy Power It started to lose irreversibly until it disappeared completely. I was thrown into the river after being robbed by robbers. I was rescued on the boat and came to Daxialing by accident. I had no intentions."
A few words explained the reasons clearly, but more details were not revealed, such as what conflict of ideas led to the exile, the real reason for the loss of holy power, and why the robbers didn't kill them directly.
For a former druid, Leiden still gave some respect, and did not inquire further.
However, he can be sure that Atwood did not lie. In other words, the Daxia leader may need another leader, but this must be decided by the lord himself, and he himself has no right to give any guarantee.
He just said, "I will report your situation to Lord Xia Duo. You can rest assured that no matter whether you stay or stay, there is no problem with your safety."
After that, he told Atwood not to leave the residence for now, and then left alone to report.
...
In Xia Duo's small camp.
The arrival of Leiden made Xia Duo a little uncomfortable, who was devoting himself to spell upgrades. It was a bit like getting up, taking two deep breaths, gathering his thoughts, and recording the key information of the current research progress node in the notes, in case he will study later. I couldn’t find any ideas when I was.
After doing this, he looked at Leiden and asked: "Let's go, who is Atwood?"
"My lord, he is a druid, but now he has lost his holy power and has become an ordinary person."
Druid? Chardonnay suddenly became interested. He had only heard of druids before and had not seen it with his own eyes. Now Atwood should be the first living druid he has ever seen.
No, it should be a former druid.
"What else did he say?" Xia Duo asked quickly:
Leiden repeated what Lightwood had said before, such as the Golden Image Branch, the elders of the secret text, conflict of ideas, exile, robbery, rescued and so on.
Xia Duo had never heard of the Golden Elephant Branch before, and it didn't sound like a serious organization. What secret elders were there who mastered secret scripts? Or do you master secret spells?
"Do you know the Jinxiangzhi Order?"
"Sorry, my lord, I haven't heard of it. The records of druids in the Temple Library are limited to a few names and abilities."
If the temple library didn’t have it, it would be unlikely that the tower would have existed at that time. While Xia Duo passed the message to Niya through the tower, asking her to help inquire about the druid’s information and the situation of the Golden Elephant Sect. To Leiden:
"Atwood, let him stay in the territory first. Those Langasians can arrange for them to learn the lingua franca. The children will teach them separately~EbookFREE.me~the translators of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce , Leave one for you, you are responsible for teaching the children."
Now that winter has entered, heavy snow is coming, and there are not even half of the number of people participating in labor in the territory, plus there are leaders of various working groups, Leiden is actually not busy.
"By the way, this is for you." Xia Duo took out his hand-made simple dictionary and a copy of "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" from the portable space and handed it to Leiden. "When children in the territory are learning Chinese, use this to give They learn, those Langars kids will first tell them to speak the lingua franca."
Leiden took the "Proverbs" and a thick dictionary, flipped through a few pages, and immediately realized the importance of this "thick book". At the beginning, when he was learning words by himself, he could only force the entire book. There is no system for memory.
But the book in front of you is obviously a systematic one. Once you know this book, you will know all the other books. Especially for people who are resistant, the most difficult thing is the one-to-one correspondence between pronunciation and text. , Not the meaning of words.
"My lord, this book--" Leiden looked at Xia Duo, with a little enthusiasm in his eyes.
"This is what I used when I was studying writing. Let them learn it first. I will reorganize it later when I have time." Xia Duo noticed Leiden's eyes.
In this simple dictionary, it is essentially a vocabulary of color-resistant letters. The notes and phonetic notation are all written in English alphabets and phonetic symbols. Only Xia Duo knows the specific meaning.
Leiden didn't know that this was all shocked like this. Wouldn't he be even more shocked if these were sorted into color-resistant lingua franca?
In the future, you only need to teach the illiterate color-resistant phonetic symbols, and then they can learn words on their own. This is probably the advantage of phonetic writing.
