"Buzz~"

A buzzing sound was heard when the original magic power was released, and a small golden ball emitting a faint golden light appeared in Hope's palm.

"This is... a druid trick? How did you learn it?"

Generally speaking, even for a serious druid apprentice, it would be difficult to feel the natural primitive magic unique to druids without two or three years of practice.

However, Hope not only felt it, but also spontaneously mastered one of the basic methods of use.

"Is this a druid trick? Does this mean I have the talent to become a druid?"

Carl's words made Hope a little excited for a moment. The golden ball in his palm shook and turned into magic again.

"Wait! If I remember correctly, barbarians in the Path of the Giant can learn druid tricks and priest magic at level 3. It seems that you have mastered some skills because of this."

Trying hard to recall the information he knew, Carl quickly came to a conclusion.

This conclusion made Hope's excitement fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Carl immediately said: "But it's not impossible if you use this as a stepping stone to become a druid. If you join the Moon Society, transform into an owlbear, and then go berserk, I feel like you can kick open the gate of Breland with one claw."

Similar to the Barbarian, the Druid's sub-profession also has its own name, and they are distinguished by "associations". Currently the most common associations are the Earth Association and the Moon Association.

The former are able to adapt to different environments and gain druidic spells appropriate to the environment through a mystical connection with the land itself.

The latter is proficient in transforming into various wild beasts, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has mastered all seventy-two transformations.

"What kind of training is needed to become a multi-class druid?"

Throwing the idea out of his mind that he might be a druid genius, Hope looked at Carl, trying to get some inspiration from him.

Although she had always longed to live in Eludin, her knowledge of druids was limited to the abilities of a few individual associations.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much. Although my grandfather was a druid of the Moon Society, he didn't tell me much about it. The only thing I know is that druids usually have to choose a society to join when they are officially inaugurated, otherwise they will be stuck at level 1."

These words almost completely destroyed Hope's plan to teach herself to become a druid, and her mental state deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing Hope so disappointed, Carl patted his companion on the back and consoled him, "Don't be so sad. You can practice your druid skills first. Getting used to spellcasting abilities sooner may help you adapt to the druid profession faster in the future."

"No, you don't understand. This is different."

Holding his hand over his heart, Hope sighed.

"When I found myself suddenly sensing the magic of nature, I really thought I was the chosen one. Sigh~, but now it seems that this may just be the effect of the Giant Path."

Giants and dragons were the first races to use raw magic, and the barbarian giant path would also allow the incumbent to have a stronger adaptability to raw magic.

"So, you asked me so shyly just now, actually you wanted to show off in front of me?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Carl felt that he had a deeper understanding of Hope.

"In fact... when I was young, I also thought I was destined to be a genius wizard. However, after taking the entrance exam for Akanix, I came to my senses."

Acting like an experienced person, Carl spoke again.

As a time traveler, Carl used to be somewhat pretentious.

He once thought that he would become the protagonist of some destiny, and that he would have easy luck along the way and marry all the pretty girls.

Just because someone barely scored 500 points in the college entrance examination in his previous life doesn’t mean he can score over 700 points if he tries again.

There are some things that you really can't catch up with just by working hard.

"Huh? You originally wanted to be a wizard?"

Looking Carl up and down, Hope found it hard to imagine what he would look like as a wizard.

"Isn't this a blow from reality? When I was choosing my major, I wanted to bite the bullet and apply for the mage major."

The profession of mage is like the mathematics department in the university in the previous life.

Although ordinary people can enter the mathematics department, to be honest, not everyone is suitable for it.

Carl spent a year to become a magician, but in the mage major, it was not uncommon to see students still stuck in the mage apprentice stage.

The mages in the DND series do not care about talents such as physique or spiritual roots. The only thing that limits them from taking formal positions is their intelligence.

"So, you want me to not be discouraged? Even if I can't become a druid, there are other options?"

Looking at Carl steadily, Hope's brows gradually softened.

"No, being a druid is not a profession that requires so much. In fact, as long as you respect nature, the possibility of finding a job is still very high. If I hadn't been admitted to Akanix, I might have followed my grandfather to become a druid."

After a little Versailles, Karl continued:

"I'm telling you all this just to hope that you can adjust your mindset. Mindset is very important. Two of my classmates at the same time were unable to officially become mages because of this problem. Even if they did, it would be difficult for them to go very far on this path."

When Carl first entered school, he met two classmates with whom he had a good relationship. Their test scores were similar to Carl's, and they could get along well.

The three had similar intelligence attributes, but two of them chose to become mages.

Before Carl was captured by the Mind Flayer, the two were still attacking the level 1 mage.

However, with their intelligence attribute of around 12 points, level 4 is almost their limit.

After all, they don't have a mind flayer larva to help them use physical cheats, so they can just rely on their psychic expertise to gain a two-point intelligence boost.

Looking at Carl's serious expression, Hope nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry. Since the day I sold myself as a slave but failed, my mentality has become less childish. Okay, quickly copy the alchemy pot again. There's almost no water at home."

Seeing that Hope really didn't seem to be affected, Carl nodded.

Closing his eyes, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest and tried to replicate the alchemical pot.

Blue magic flickered in his palms for a moment, but then dissipated.

After opening his eyes again, Carl looked at Hope who was looking at him expectantly, and said in a dry voice: "My spiritual power has reached its limit. I have to wait until tomorrow to copy the magic items."

For a moment, the room fell silent.
