I am a 9th level druid apprentice, the same one two years ago.
The teacher told us that he was stuck for three years as an intermediate druid, but I was stuck for two years before becoming a formal druid.
In the mountains in the early morning, there is a lingering smoke, and the mist is like clouds and dust, wandering in the mountains.
The birds crossed over the mountains of different heights and flew into the distance.
Hula la
The mountain wind blows over the ridge, bringing the light clouds and mist from here to there, pulling out long white lines.
The white lines condensed into fog, and the fog condensed into droplets, which turned into water, turning into ticking raindrops that fell down the mountains and hit the branches and leaves of the plants.
In the farthest distance, a faint red morning glow rises.
"Boom"
The crisp and heavy sound spread far away, passing back and forth among the mountains.
Riding on the morning glow, a tall white stone round tower shines brightly in the mountains.
The tower that had been silent all night slowly came to life again and began to revive.
The skillful halfling named Bai had already gotten up early, folded his quilt and smoothed the sheets.
When the bell rang, he gently pushed open the wooden door and hurried out with a thick book under his arm.
At this time, several roommates in the same dormitory woke up from their sleep.
"Where's Bai?" A tribesman with a big nose glanced at the neat bed opposite.
"Let's go study." Another short tauren rolled his eyes. Do you still need to ask this question?
The tauren had a pair of small horns on his head, which looked a little soft. He turned over and got off the bed, imitating Bai's example and tidying up the bed.
"We've been in the same dormitory for several months, don't you know?"
Another roommate is a little goblin. He has also gotten up, "Get up quickly, the teacher's class is about to start."
Several tribesmen were busy tidying up, sorting out their internal affairs and themselves.
Bai didn't know what happened behind him, but hurried towards the library of Baishi Tower.
"Good morning, Lord Dryad."
He stroked his chest gently and bowed to the knowledge guardian of the White Stone Tower.
"Good morning, Bai." The several-meter-tall tree spirit opened its eyes and responded to him.
"I'm here to return the book." The halfling Bai showed the book in his hand and said to the tree spirit.
The tree spirit shook the branch, rolled up the book in his hand, and after glancing at the catalog, he extended the branch, climbed all the way up, and placed the book on an elevated shelf more than ten meters high.
"What book do you want to borrow this time?" The tree spirit did not take back the branch, but asked him slowly.
"No, friend, I'm here to say goodbye today." Bai shook his head.
"Why? Where are you going?" The tree spirit asked in confusion. He was very lonely here. He finally found a friend and had to leave again.
"I'm going on a long trip." Bai explained the reason, "Maybe a few months, maybe a year or two." He shrugged. He didn't know when he would come back.
"I want to go back to the Elf Kingdom and take a good walk around."
The tree spirit was silent for a moment and slowly retracted the branches. He knew that there were regulations for tribal people to practice druidry. They were allowed three years of free time to practice in the White Stone Tower.
Including choosing paths for them and providing resources, all of which are free of charge.
And after three years, if they have not become official druids, then they will have semi-mandatory treaties to implement.
For example, going to a certain place to work as a planter, or being assigned to the Elf Guard Group, any profession is possible.
If they successfully break through and become a formal druid within three years, they can continue to study as a druid in the White Stone Tower. Although they have to take on tasks to make a living, this is definitely the easiest place to practice.
"I wish you good luck." The tree spirit said slowly. At the same time, he took out a thick leather book from his branch and handed it to Bai.
"This is a book I wrote for you."
"Thank you." Bai felt warm in his heart and said sincerely to the big tree spirit in front of him.
"I hope that when I wake up one day, you can come back again, my friend."
Bai was walking along the corridor of the White Stone Tower while holding a book that was a bit big for him.
After crossing countless stairs and room entrances, he arrived at the tutor's door.
Bang Bang Bang
"Please come in." A gentle voice sounded from inside the door.
Bai opened the door and looked at the simply furnished room and the tall elf in the middle of the room.
"Teacher." Bai bowed respectfully.
"It's Bai." The tall elf was burying his head on the table, seeming to be writing something.
He quickly put down his pen, sat upright and asked Bai to sit on the sofa, "Would you like something to drink?"
"No, teacher, I'm here to say goodbye today." Bai shook his head and looked at the teacher who was very kind to him.
The smile on the elf's face faded, "Is it still because of the problem that cannot be overcome?"
"Hmm." His practice has already reached the current state of perfection, with a constitution of 7, a spirit of 9, and a magic power of 9. He can only delay the breakthrough to become a formal druid.
After one month and two months, everyone thought it was nothing. However, after five and six months, all the four primary school friends except him had reached the extraordinary level one after another.
At that time, everyone thought there might be some delay, and he himself felt the same way.
However, nine months, ten months, and one year passed, and he was still stuck in place, motionless.
He was a little panicked.
However, he has read a lot of information in the library, including many pioneers' breakthrough notes, but has been unable to go any further.
Because no tribesman has ever encountered a problem here, most of them describe the breakthrough process in a vague way.
He has been stuck here for two full years since he was unable to make any progress.
"I asked the tower master for advice. After studying your problem, he gave a suggestion." The elf mentor said.
Bai's eyes lit up. Tower Master, that is an almost legendary elf. If it were him, he would definitely have a way to solve his problem.
At the same time, he felt a warmth in his heart and felt his mentor's concern for him. In the past two years, he had been caring about his practice issues and never gave up on him.
"teacher."
"There are my own reasons here. I have been stuck at level 16 for five years. If you can successfully break through, maybe I can also get some inspiration."
The elf mentor explained that he did not want him to bear a debt of gratitude that was too heavy for him.
"Go back and pack your things, we'll set off later."
"Where to go?" Bai grabbed the heavy book in his hand and asked.
"Anywhere will do," the instructor said.
In a certain aspect, they are both the same kind of people. One has been stuck in the Intermediate Druid for five years, and the other has been stuck in the Beginning of Transcendence for two years.
If two people walk together, they will naturally have a sense of resonance. It is not a joke that when one person makes a breakthrough, the other person will also gain insights.
