Chapter 87 Druid
Chapter 87 Druid (Second Update)
What scroll is this that Abbot Jacques was talking about that actually costs 50 gold dukes!
Little Beto and Pop, who had been following Chancellor Jacques, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Pope, do you know what the scroll that Abbot Jacques was talking about is?" Little Beto poked Pop, who was a few years older than him.
Pope was the patrol leader after all, and he had dealt with one or two adventurers a few times before.
"It's the scroll that seals the magic. If you tear it open, you can release the magic inside." Pope said in a deep voice.
"Divine magic!" Little Beto looked at Fang Yu with shock and envy, and asked in a low voice, "Can ordinary people also use divine magic? Why didn't Abbot Jacques mention it to us before?"
Pop glanced at Little Beto and said, "I don't understand this either, but I can ask the village chief. Maybe there are some simple magics that ordinary people can use?"
"As for why Abbot Jacques never mentioned it, I guess he simply didn't think we could afford it. A divine scroll costs 50 gold dukes, and we can't even afford one with our annual harvest."
Pop patted Little Beto on the back and said, "Only those adventurers who risk their lives to make money would spend so much money to buy a magic scroll to save their lives."
Being able to afford a scroll worth 50 gold dukes, it’s no wonder so many people want to be adventurers, they earn too much!
"It sounds like a first-level spell, Entanglement, from the School of Incantation. The vines will take at least three seconds to grow. The vines are not very strong either, and can only trap ordinary people. It's a useless spell." (Note 1)
Yuzu muttered in the backpack.
"The thorny vines are too weak, and they need at least three seconds to grow. They don't seem very practical."
Fang Yu learned on the spot and directly repeated the description of pomelo.
Abbot Jacques was stunned. He didn't expect Fang Yu to be an expert in this field.
Originally, he thought Fang Yu was very young and the cloak he wore looked more advanced than a cardinal's robe. He thought he was probably a young man from a Salai noble family and looked like a sucker, so he wanted to get some benefits from Fang Yu.
I didn't expect that this young nobleman who looked tender and delicate actually understood natural magic.
"Hehe, there are no impractical spells, only inappropriate scenes." Master Jacques remained calm. "Well, I have three scrolls of disease detection here. They are also 3st level spells that do not require a caster level to cast."
“In adventure, the most dangerous things are not enemies and traps, but those invisible and intangible toxins and diseases.”
"After tearing open this scroll, you will be able to see all the toxins that are harmful to the human body within a radius of ten meters. If your partner is already sick, it can also identify what disease it is."
"Such a practical magic spell also only costs 50 gold dukes." Abbot Jacques spoke like an insurance salesman.
"This is interesting. It sounds like a combination of toxin detection and disease identification." Yuzu continued to comment, "I just don't know how effective it is. You can give it a try."
Fang Yu remained calm: "Only one level of magic? No higher level magic?"
Master Jacques laughed and said, "Young adventurer, you still need to accumulate some common sense for adventure. Non-casters can only use 1st-level spell scrolls at most, and 2nd-level spell scrolls require a casting level of at least 1st level." (Note 2)
Fang Yu smiled, picked up a grain of wheat from the ground and spread it flat in the center of his palm.
What is this adventurer going to do?
Not only Popo and Little Beto, but other villagers were also very curious.
Could it be? Old Jacques raised his eyebrows. It shouldn't be possible. This guy is tall and strong, and he doesn't look like a spellcaster.
"It's sprouting! The wheat grains are sprouting!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the grain of wheat in Fang Yu's palm moved slightly, and first a little white sprout grew out. Then the sprout became greener and taller. In just a few seconds, the grain of wheat grew into a seedling that was four or five centimeters tall.
"Natural magic! Druid tricks! Are you a druid?!" Old Jacques was shocked, and then a little embarrassed.
Oh no, oh no, I met someone in the same industry as me.
Fortunately, I didn't sell it too hard just now, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
It would be so embarrassing for a priest to sell scrolls and let his colleagues know about it.
It's all this Giss' fault. Don't druids usually walk barefoot? And they dress very simply. Why is this guy dressed so ostentatiously?
Among the followers of the nature god Celian, those who can master divine power are called druids, and their status is similar to that of priests in the Harvest Temple.
Of course, not all druids work for the Temple of Nature; many druids join adventurers or live in seclusion.
But the God of Harvest, Vitus, was only a middle-level god, a subordinate of the God of Nature, Celian. This was very embarrassing. To gain the recognition of the God of Nature and become a druid was much more difficult than becoming a priest of the God of Harvest. Moreover, druids could master almost all divine arts within the natural system, including the divine arts of harvest.
The opposite is impossible.
According to the contempt chain in the temple world, the priest of the God of Harvest is naturally half a head shorter than the druid of the God of Nature.
Druid trick? What do you mean? I just used an arcane trick.
Fang Yu and Youzi had never heard of this term, so they could only maintain an unfathomable smile.
The surrounding villagers, including old Beto, each took two steps back and bowed their heads in greeting.
Just like when they saw Abbot Jacques earlier in the afternoon.
Although they couldn't figure out who had a higher status, they were all extraordinary people and the villagers couldn't afford to offend any of them.
"Githdruid, I didn't expect that you, who look so young, have already become a servant of the God of Nature." Abbot Jacques laughed, held Fang Yu's right arm with his left hand, and patted Fang Yu's left arm with his right hand.
This is the greeting etiquette used by priests of the God of Harvest when meeting clergy of the same level.
When facing a superior, the Harvest priest will put his hands together, raise them from his heart to his brows, and then nod and bow his head.
In response to the return gift from the lower-level person, the Harvest Priest will stretch out his right palm, palm up, and gently push it forward from his heart, symbolizing the bestowal of blessing and strength from his heart.
After much consideration, Abbot Jacques decided not to put on airs as a third-level priest in front of this young druid.
Unfortunately, Fang Yu didn’t understand what the seductive look meant at all, even though it was thrown to a blind man.
"I'm just an ordinary traveler, Master Jacques, do you have any scrolls of higher levels?" Fang Yu blinked and decided to pretend to be cool to the end.
Let the other party be dihua on his own.
Pastor Jacques was stunned for a moment, thinking that Fang Yu was considering his face, and couldn't help but be very fond of him: "Haha, of course, I have three second-ring divine scrolls exchanged from the Temple of Art, you can take a look."
"Silence spell, Shadow Blade, Invisibility spell." Priest Jacques didn't hide anything this time. "As you know, most of the spells in our Harvest Temple are used for farming, which are of little use to you adventurers. I exchanged these three spells with the priest of the Art Temple using the second-ring Harvest Blessing Scroll. So they will definitely be more expensive, 300 gold Dukes each."
"Silence spell. After it is torn, there will be no sound in the spherical area within a radius of 8 meters. It can last for 10 minutes. You know what it is for, so I won't say more."
"Shadow Blade, can turn part of any shadow into a sword. Shadow Blade is sharper than all ordinary swords and can cause mental damage to the enemy."
"Invisibility. I don't need to explain the specific effect. It is effective for one hour."
These three spells are all good, but the three scrolls cost 900 gold dukes. Even though a gold duke is only 1/3 of the weight of a gold brown, it still costs 300 gold browns. It's really not worth it.
And Jin Brown is still in the car. But even if he is, Fang Yu will not take it out. Who knows what kind of trouble the pattern on it will cause.
Fang Yu thought about it for a moment and said, "I want all three of these. Is one of these enough?"
Fang Yu took out a small black cloth bag from his jacket pocket, poured out three 10-point diamonds from it, and took one out to show to Abbot Jacques.
"Star Diamond!" Abbot Jacques' eyelids twitched twice.
That’s right, this guy is definitely not just a druid, but also a great noble of Salei.
"At least one more is needed." Abbot Jacques grinned.
Note 1: Please don’t criticize me, fellow runners. I know this spell is useful in games, but this is a novel and is a secondary setting.
Note 2: The casting level required by the scroll is one level higher than the first level of the scroll, which is also the second setting of this book.
Today's plot has been concluded, and tomorrow will be the urban plot.
