Chapter 116: Portal and Guardian Staff
Hua Mi learned that "Guardian of the Black Forest" is basically just an honorary title.
It doesn't have any title effect like in the game.
There will be no job restrictions.
Not to mention it will not be bound to the Black Forest.
Accepting this title means that he has officially "settled" in the Black Forest, and will be able to represent the Black Forest to a certain extent from now on.
The so-called "guarding" does not mean living in harmony with the flowers, plants, birds and beasts in the forest like a druid, or even having relationships that go beyond friendship.
It's a broader concept.
Take the seven little ones for example. They are not against the law of the jungle and predatory competition, because this is the law of the forest. Even if the death of an individual makes them feel sad, it is limited to this. As long as it is in line with the law of nature, then they think it is reasonable.
The same goes for Guardians.
In fact, guarding is more like an obligation than a responsibility to him. Since it is an obligation, then don’t ask for any salary.
Of course, it would not be accurate to say that there is no benefit at all.
Because after accepting this title, he can get a very awesome item.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hua Mi nodded and accepted the title at Xiao Hong's instigation.
The two-meter-tall black forest spirit in front of him was covered with a faint light.
She reached into the air with her right hand and caught a beam of light.
After the light faded, a black vine scepter appeared, with a burr-like structure at the tip.
The staff of the guardian, a symbol of the guardian's identity.
It looks like it's made of ordinary wood, but it's impervious to water and fire.
Its power is closely related to the Black Forest. Simply put, the higher the level of magic in the Black Forest, the stronger the power the Guardian Staff can exert.
It's powerful, but it's still a staff.
Hua Mi has no blue, this thing is just a fire stick to him.
What he wanted was to take it back to Xiaobai for use.
With the blessing of this staff, I believe Xiaobai can handle ordinary intruders.
The spirit of the black forest held the scepter and placed it on Hua Mi's shoulder.
"On behalf of the Black Forest, I grant you the title of 'Guardian of the Black Forest'. This will be a lifelong honor and obligation..."
After the award was completed, Hua Mi took the scepter from her hand, feeling that the weight was very light, and followed her. Ordinary wood is no different.
They cannot stay in the spiritual realm for too long.
Before leaving, Xiaohong took some pool water.
The water here can restore the health of pseudo-flower essences instantly.
Hua Mi, on the other hand, suffered from an occupational disease. She searched for the blooming flowers in the spiritual realm and could hardly restrain her hands from wanting to pick flowers.
Xiaohong told him that the flowers here could not be taken out.
"The environment and most events in the spiritual realm are symbolic. The reason why such a scene is presented is to fit the sensory thinking of outside creatures so that you can understand it." Hua Mi then gave up the idea of picking flowers
.
...
The Centaur suffered a lot of losses this time, and even with his strong body and spirit, he might not be able to recover for a while.
In fact, it is not just due to excessive consumption.
You know, strictly speaking, the ability of blood-sucking bees is "predating" rather than "absorbing". This process will not be too gentle... It's like
, one is a gentle nurse taking a needle to draw blood, and the other is a rude vampire biting you. neck.
Hua Mi originally wanted to give him a few bottles of honey as a thank you.
But the centaur refused.
Not out of pride.
It's because of habit, or nature.
He said that the Centaurs never accept gifts from outsiders, nor do they give gifts. Gifts do not match their concept of walking alone in the world.
"I'm just a passerby." He said, "When my body recovers, I will leave the Black Forest and continue to look for other blight curses." "Is there
any other place?"
"According to the signs I read in the wilderness , this is not an isolated incident." The centaur frowned slightly, his eyes melancholy, "The curse energy in the black forest is only a part of the split. We need to summarize the distribution characteristics of the curse, and if possible, find the source of the curse. ——This is the ultimate goal."
"Then I wish you good luck." Hua Mi paused and then said: "Thank you for your help to the Black Forest. You are welcome to visit at any time." "The
main credit lies with you, I I'm just providing the assistance I can... As the guardian of this place, do you mind if I build a portal in the Black Forest?" "
Portal?"
The centaur explained: "We, the centaur family, have been walking in the wilderness for generations, in the world. Many portals have been built in various places to enable fast travel. If not, we would be limited by our distance and might be stuck in one place for a long time, which would be terrible." "In this way..." Portals are a good thing
.
No reason to refuse.
But...
"Can the portal you built only be used by the Centaur tribe?"
"Theoretically, any race can use it, but..." Centaur changed the topic, "The prerequisite is that you must be proficient in Centaur tribe. Language, and intelligence must at least reach the level of an adult centaur."
Hiss -
this has already ruled out the vast majority.
Let’s not mention the language, it’s just a question of how much time it takes.
But intellectually it's a flaw.
You know, even the average intelligence of the elves cannot reach the level of an adult centaur.
Perhaps the Borui people can give it a try.
Forget about ordinary humans.
"This race is also weird. Building a portal requires IQ."
However, Hua Mi finally agreed to his construction request.
Regarding how to spend the night, Centaur told Hua Mi not to worry.
He was used to sleeping in the wilderness, but he was not used to living under a roof.
Hua Mi gave him some gift nectar pills to help him recover - not in the name of a gift.
Coupled with the blessing effect of the black forest, I can almost recover in one night.
The centaurs set out to find a suitable location to build the portal.
He didn't plan to open the portal near the Bee Whisperer's hut, which was very presumptuous.
Centaur portals are distributed all over the world, but most of them are in the wilderness, deliberately far away from the places where living creatures live.
Hua Mi returned home and immediately entered the greenhouse.
After the curse was dispelled, the conditions of the pseudo-flower spirits have stabilized.
Xiaohong gave them the water from the pond in the spiritual realm.
After they drank it, they almost immediately regained their former glory.
The seven little ones held hands and formed a circle, singing and dancing to celebrate their survival.
Another group of people crowded in front of Hua Mi, holding his fingers, collar and other places to express their gratitude.
Looking at the little guy with seven colors in front of him, Hua Mi suddenly felt like... becoming a grandpa.
Xiaobai watched quietly from the side, yawning expressionlessly.
Although she is younger and smaller than the fake flower essence, she looks like the most mature one.
"I have something for you."
Hua Mi took out the scepter from the ring: "Try it and see if it works for you."
A flash of light flashed in Xiaobai's eyes, and he immediately transformed into the form of a fire god.
Under the surprised gazes of the seven little ones, they walked over and took the staff.
In her hand, several pale lines of fire appeared, spiraling around the staff.
"Oh?"
Xiaobai's indifferent expression finally showed a hint of ripples.
A surging heat spread from the tip of the staff.
Upon seeing this, Hua Mi hurriedly shouted "stop".
"If you want to go out and try, Huatian is innocent."
"..."
So Xiaobai walked outside.
Hua Mi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Hua Tian.
Growing well.
Gathering bees are busy in the flower fields.
It's a pity that there were originally more than twenty Blue Fire Bees, but now there are only single digits of the complete bee colony left.
The loss is not small.
The only good thing is that a new bee species was born from the blight curse.
