It is not an easy task to successfully graduate within 3 months. It requires the cooperation of the mentor and the apprentice. One is willing to teach each other, and the other works hard to absorb knowledge.
Saryan has never doubted his ability to accept actual combat training, but the study of theoretical knowledge has always been his shortcoming before.
Salorian put a lot of effort into letting him absorb the theoretical knowledge related to warriors and anger as quickly as possible.
After receiving the dragon flute given by Alecos, the mania originating from the depths of his soul was gradually calmed down, and Sarlayan's logical thinking ability was significantly improved. Even Valeela, who had grown up with him since childhood, was also impressed by this.
for accident.
Olfa first taught the orthodox general knowledge of druidry, and told Sarlayan from scratch about the origin, development and basic use of natural energy of druidry.
Before the Sundering, the early Drust people did not have the special profession of Thornspeaker.
Like the druids of other races, they also learned the ways of the druid from the forest demigod Cenarius.
After the War of the Ancients, with the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the ancient continent of Kalimdor was split into four continents and many islands.
The homeland of the Drust people was also split into an archipelago by the force of the Big Bang, and they have been cut off from other continents since then.
With the in-depth study of the Druid's way, the Drust people made unexpected discoveries.
After extremely distorting the power of nature, the druid scholars at that time obtained an inert energy that was completely opposite to the power of life.
The power of death.
The earliest Thornspeakers were born from this. They were determined to understand the secrets of life and death, and were committed to maintaining the delicate balance between life and death, just like the traditional druids maintained the balance between arcane magic and the power of nature.
"The traditional way of Druidry has three branches of growth that complement each other, namely balance, restoration and wildness."
Orfa combined the graphics he drew on the ground and said to Sarlayan: "Balance, I have briefly introduced it to you before."
"Druids of the balance department need to find a delicate balance between arcana and nature, so that the two can blend with each other to form an effect of 11 greater than 2."
"In layman's terms, balance druids are spellcasters who use the power of nature."
"Restoration, as the name suggests, this series of druids mainly uses the power of nature for healing. I shouldn't need to introduce it further, right?"
"Wild druids are special. You can think of them as shape-shifting masters, who can transform into ferocious beast forms to attack enemies."
"According to the different choices of each wild druid, their transformed forms are also different, and their styles are more varied."
"Generally speaking, feral druids can be divided into three major categories, namely raptors, claws and guardians."
The infusion of a large amount of knowledge prevented Sarlayan from taking time to check the barrage and listened intently to Orfa's teachings.
"Your first test mainly involves the restoration system. In these three days, I will teach you the essence of the restoration druid."
"As for how far you can comprehend...it depends on your talent and hard work."
'Recover...'
Sarlayan is used to convincing people with "reason", and he doesn't want to become one of those wet nurses hiding behind the team.
"Boom!"
Olfa picked up a short stick and hit Sarlayan on the head: "Don't underestimate the Restoration Druid. You know at a glance that you often walk alone. It's always good to learn some healing spells."
."
Sarlayan touched his head, curled his lips and complained disdainfully: "My physique is quite special. I can heal myself after being injured."
"Still quibbling!"
"Boom!"
Orfa, who entered the teaching state, was very harsh and hit Sarlayan on the head with a stick again.
"Don't think I don't know that all types of self-healing abilities consume a lot of physical strength. Can you guarantee that you won't fall into the enemy's trap due to the huge consumption of physical strength?"
"Um...okay."
After thinking about it carefully, Saryan admitted that Orfa's words made sense.
Restoration spells consume the power of nature, which in barrage terms is a blue bar. It is another energy system that has nothing to do with physical strength.
When the body is full of physical strength, it can allow the body to heal itself, but if it is still in a fierce battle when it is injured, Sarlayan can save the physical strength for fighting by consuming the power of nature.
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Due to time constraints, Orfa's teaching method was like what Danmaku called cramming, cramming a large amount of relevant knowledge into Sarlayan's mind.
Sarlayan cut his fingers many times in the den assigned to him, and then used the healing spells he learned from Orfa to speed up his recovery.
A lot of training allowed Sarlayan to gradually master the know-how of restoration spells, and it also gave him an extra surprise.
Previously, Sarlayan had always believed that in order to advance in combat roles, one must defeat or kill enemies in order to gain experience.
But it turns out that this is not the case. Learning and self-improvement can also lead to growth.
Three days have passed, and Sarlayan's druid level, which was originally level 5, has become level 7, and is still rising slowly with the use of healing spells.
After experiencing the battle of Grim Batol, counting the multiple Dragonmaw Orcs he killed, and the experience gained from Deathwing in the final battle, Sarlayan's warrior level is already over half of level 26.
When choosing 1 out of 3 skills at level 25, the system gives a special prompt.
System: "Warning, when the host reaches level 30, it will officially leave the newcomer protection period, and the skill selection rules will be irreversibly changed. Please choose the last round of newcomer benefits carefully."
According to the system's evaluation standards, after reaching level 30, Sarlayan's character template will be upgraded from ordinary to elite.
There is no bottleneck from ordinary templates to elites, it can be overcome naturally.
It's more troublesome to go from elite to legendary. Each combat class has its own threshold that needs to be crossed.
The last time a newcomer chooses one of three, the options given by the system are Storm Hammer, God Descends and Blade Storm.
These three are the signature skills of a warrior, and each one is very powerful.
When Sarlayan first saw these three options, he wanted to take them all, but unfortunately, this was impossible.
Sarlayan had already seen the Stormhammer from Falstad before.
Not only does this skill have powerful single-target lethality, it can also trigger thunder to temporarily stun the enemy when thrown. Even red dragon larvae with good resistance are not immune to it.
God's Descending is a short-term status blessing skill that can greatly improve the offensive and defensive capabilities of warriors for a certain period of time, and can also enlarge the body size and make them immune to various negative effects.
Blade Storm needs no further introduction. Sarlayan experienced it personally when he fought against the Orc Sword Master Samuro. It is a movable range damage skill that cannot be controlled. Danmaku affectionately calls it the Windmill.
This time's skill selection made Sarlayan truly understand what difficulty in choosing is.
After hesitating for a long time, and after many discussions with Danmaku, Sarlayan finally chose the more versatile method of God descending to earth.
Storm Hammer and Blade Storm each have their own characteristics, one focuses on single-target attacks, and the other emphasizes area damage.
The descending of gods can simply improve the offensive and defensive capabilities, and can also be immune to and remove some weird curses, poisons, magic debuffs, etc., which can play a greater role when venturing alone.
"It's time, let me announce the content of the first test."
After three days of intensive study, Olfa came to Sarlayan's den at 6 a.m. on the fourth day.
"then."
Throwing a roll of sheepskin map to Sarlayan, Olfa briefly explained it.
"The content and location of your mission are recorded in the parchment. Let's go. I hope you can successfully complete the first test."
After being driven out of the Thornspeaker's den by Orfa, Sarlayan unfolded the parchment and checked it while going down the mountain.
