Chapter 59

"我一直想要一瓶祛除疾病药剂。我的小狗带我来这里，还给我指了指你放药剂的箱子。我看到你有一瓶药剂，所以想问问你，我需要怎样做，才能得到这瓶药剂。"

"Oh, I see. You want to use this to earn a reward." The young man said, "I'll rest here for two days and set off on the third day. According to the plan, bring your two companions along. After we complete the tour, you can take the bottle of medicine."

"Uh..." Zhao Mai scratched his head, feeling that this person seemed to have mistaken him. Although he was honest, he wasn't so naive that he would correct the mistake when the other party agreed to exchange the medicine for the tour task. "Right, can I take the bottle of medicine now? I will definitely come to find you on the third day."

The young man licked his teeth and waved his hand indifferently, "Sure, you can take it."

Zhao Mai left the treehouse happily with the reserve food, enjoying the elevator-like feeling of grabbing the vines. He dug a hole and buried the potion carefully, instructing the reserve food to guard it well, so no one could take it away.

Not long after he left, Ziyue, Lucius, and Aphra rode the vine elevator to the tree branch. "Mr. Dalle? Is Mr. Machi Dalle at home?"

The young man in the feather coat walked out of the treehouse, tilting his head to look at the three people in front of him. "Who are you?"

Lucius bowed slightly and said in an elegant voice, "Mr. Dalle, the three of us are from the Eagle Wing community, here to participate in the Druid enlightenment and learning. Before we set off, the Turk elders required us to seek your guidance after enlightenment. We know that serving you is a rare honor, please give us this opportunity."

"Huh, wasn't the one who came earlier from the Eagle Wing community?" Dalle was slightly stunned, carefully recalling the letter he received a few months ago. "Didn't the Turk elders say that only three Eagle Wing community exchange students would come here recently? If you three are all exchange students, then who was the previous apprentice?"

"Another apprentice came?" Lucius frowned, feeling slightly displeased by this unexpected situation. "Was he a young man with black hair and black eyes, similar to a retro bloodline?"

"Yes, he said his name was Mike."

"Indeed, it's him!" Lucius quickly said, "He is indeed the new apprentice, whom Teacher Celine also teaches. But he is not from the Eagle Wing community, so why should he trouble you?"

Switching from "you" to "you" (formal), Lucius changed quite quickly. Dalle seemed not to notice this subtle change, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's fine, anyway, he's not here to learn Eagle Wing transformation. If there's a misunderstanding, let it be. We'll set off on the third day in the morning, meet under the maple tree. I'll announce the task there, which will also be part of your apprenticeship."

"Thank you, Mr. Dalle, we will be there on time."

The three people descended the tree on the vines, and Lucius was still sulking. Ziyue, however, was quite happy: "Mike can go too, so the four of us can help each other. Oh, I'm getting more and more excited about this apprentice task!"

"But he's not from the Eagle Wing community, why are you so happy?" Lucius shook his head, "I think the three of us are more familiar and trust each other. It would be better if Mike didn't get involved."

"Why?" Ziyue asked.

"Mr. Dalle is from our Eagle Wing community and now lives in the Unbound Walker community, but he still has a sense of gratitude towards the Eagle Wing community. As you know, he has a special skill, which can fuse his natural elemental power with his animal companion, enhancing his abilities to achieve a similar effect to animal transformation."

"Yes, we know that. Although it's not very significant for Druids of level 5 and above who can naturally transform, this special skill can greatly improve the survival ability of apprentices." Aphra said calmly, "This skill, influenced by physical constitution and understanding of nature, has a higher chance of being learned by people from the Eagle Wing community. But to be fair, this skill is not exclusive to the Eagle Wing community; apprentices from the Unbound Walker community can also learn it. So why don't you like Mike joining?"

"His presence will increase the difficulty and danger. Mr. Dalle will take care of the Eagle Wing community apprentices, but now it might be hard." Lucius said, "I'm worried that you two might encounter danger."

"I'm not afraid of any danger." Aphra said, "Ziyue, what about you?"

"I'm fine too!" Ziyue said, "If anything really happens, we still have Brother Lucius to protect us!"

"That's for sure, I'll do my best to protect you two!"

Zhao Mai, however, was unaware of this conversation among the Eagle Wing trio. His mind was full of thoughts about the disease-removing potion. For the first time, he slept soundly in a place that wasn't home, dreaming of his father drinking the potion and being cured. The reserve food was woken up several times, once by the owner's giggles and another by his low sobs. It licked its nose and lay down obediently, using its body to cover the spot where the potion was buried.

The four apprentices were preparing to follow Dalle the Druid on an apprentice task, which didn't surprise Lady Celine. "Dalle's progress in magic is slow, but he is very skilled in wilderness survival and combat. After you go out, observe more, ask more questions, and learn more. The first few times, Dalle took the apprentices along the eastern route of Farmer's Forest, and this time should be no different. As this is your first apprentice task, I'll help you make a list, and you can prepare according to it."

"Thank you, Teacher Celine." The four of them said in unison, but whether they would take it to heart was another matter.

"Um, but remember, the most important preparation is actually your mindset. You need to communicate with the natural elemental power constantly, letting it help and guide you, avoid danger, and defeat enemies. In the next two days, you should focus on learning how to communicate and try to master as many level 1 Druid spells as possible, understood?"

"Yes!" The four of them perked up, focusing on Celine's explanation.

The elf explained very quickly, not going into detailed explanations of the origins of each spell, but focusing on the casting gestures and incantations. She knew that these four young people would be touring the forest in two days, and although they shouldn't encounter any major dangers, it would be better to have spells to protect themselves.

The three Eagle Wing apprentices widened their eyes, struggling to keep up with the elf teacher's pace. Only Zhao Mai was very comfortable with this pace, even recalling the feeling of high school. At that time, the most important skill he learned was to highlight key points. There are many level 1 Druid spells, but their importance varies in different situations. Zhao Mai had already made a list in his mind, paying close attention to important spells like "Haste" and "Entangle," while being more selective with others.

Cramming, focusing on key points, and last-minute preparation are the three great skills of exam preparation, and Zhao Mai used them with great ease.
