Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 258: Demon-Eating Totem
Su Lun followed Elder Pasu through the dense forest area and came to a giant tree.
This is a giant gray elm, probably the largest tree Su Lun has ever seen. The diameter of the tree trunk exceeds thirty meters, the leaves are lush, and the canopy is towering. A tree is like a green island with birds chirping.
In the flowering season, wicker-like branches hang down from the branches, covered with strings of small white flowers. The breeze blew, and white petals were scattered all over the sky, like falling snow.
There is a tree hole at the bottom of the trunk, where there are three layers of "door"-shaped stone shelves.
The moss-covered stone shelves are carved with simple patterns, which makes people feel a sense of sacredness and solemnity. .
Pasu and Yuta came to the giant tree and solemnly clasped their hands together and prayed.
After praying, Yuta introduced to Su Lun: "This is the sacred tree of our Daru tribe. Its age is as old as the holy land. I heard from our ancestors that the sacred tree was once used by the great **** of nature. I personally blessed you."
Su Lun also looked slightly sideways when he heard this. This tree is indeed different from others, giving people a spiritual feeling.
The branches are waving as if to welcome him as a guest.
Youta said again: "Let's go, the patriarch and the others are inside."
Su Lun nodded and followed into the tree hole.
As soon as you enter, you will find a different world.
The space in the tree hole is larger than the outside, and the space is also very high. The spiral staircase runs along the wall of the tree hole, about three or four stories high. The walls are filled with densely packed medicine cabinets, and the shelves are filled with various herbs. There are also many dried medicinal materials hanging above the head.
There is a large rectangular wooden table in the tree hole house, and the magic stone lamp illuminates the tree house brightly.
When Su Lun came, there were already seven or eight people sitting on chairs here.
Looking at their faces, they are very old.
These are the elders of the Daru tribe.
"Only two fifth levels?"
Su Lun sensed the soul fire of these people and clearly identified two of them at level five.
One of them is an old deer tribesman with a long beard on his forehead.
The antlers on his head are huge, and he looks like a wise man, probably the patriarch Mona.
There is also an old woman with gray wolf ears, who should be the "Grandma Wolf" whom Yuta is always timid about mentioning.
No wonder the Daru tribe is so weak. There are only two fifth-level tribes in the tribe, and they are all very old.
What made Su Lun look at him was that in the most conspicuous place in the room, there was a broken spear.
The Omniscient Eye took a look and realized that it had a lot of background.
[Spear Brionak Spear (Damaged)]
Detailed explanation: One of the four holy weapons of the Daru tribe, a divine weapon given by the God of Nature; the complete state can be projected over long distances, ignoring obstacles and defenses, and can pierce any law level within the user's perception range not higher than Items of this spear law are added with extra law piercing damage; after the attack, the divine spear will return to the hand of the spear thrower; only those with natural power can drive it;
"Is this the holy object that Katyusha brought back?"
Su Lun looked at it and a thought flashed in his mind.
The effect seems to be somewhat similar to his black scythe, ignoring target defenses that do not exceed the law of weapons.
Even the level of laws contained in this divine spear may be higher.
It is indeed a great weapon, but it is a pity that it is incomplete.
Su Lun didn’t go to see more.
Although this spear has no side effects, it has usage restrictions.
This is the exclusive artifact of the Daru tribe.
.......
As soon as Su Lun came in, Elder Pasu introduced: "This is Mr. Su Lun."
The elders of the Daru tribe obviously already knew the origin and purpose of Su Lun. Needless to say, everyone stood up in unison, protecting their chests and said sincerely: "Thank you warrior for saving our people of the Daru tribe. ."
"You are welcome, elders."
Su Lun responded politely.
At this time, Patriarch Mona started fighting, coughed twice, and went directly to the topic: "I heard from Elder Pasu that Mr. Su Lun is the successor of Sir Isaac?"
After saying this, everyone in the room looked at Su Lun expectantly.
No one knows better than these elders what the "oath" made thousands of years ago means to their Daru tribe.
The "warrior" who came yesterday brought back the sacred artifact, which was a great joy.
But after some questioning, it was discovered that she was not the "one who abides by the oath" as predicted in the prophecy.
The young man in front of him mentioned Sir Isaac, which made it more possible.
Su Lun nodded and said: "Yes. For some special reasons, I am the disciple of Sir Isaac's wife Seria."
Now that he has met the leader of the Daru tribe, there is no need for him to hide his identity.
Hearing him reveal his identity, all the wise men of the Daru tribe in the room showed surprise in their eyes.
What!
Mrs. Seria’s disciple?
If true,
This...this seniority is a bit ridiculously high.
Is this their ancestor?
But...how could this young man be the disciple of the lady from a thousand years ago?
Su Lun didn't give them time to guess. He really couldn't explain his generation clearly. He paused and said, "I also heard Jutta talk about the ancient oath of the nobles. But I think that the person who takes the oath must Maybe it's not me..."
Before he finished speaking, Juta immediately looked at him in surprise.
The elders all showed expressions of astonishment, fearing that their expectations would be in vain again.
It was probably the pressure of genocide that made these old people breathless. Su Lun also saw the strong desire in their eyes that changed for a moment. He didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "My senior sister, Miss Ophelia Fei Isaac, Sir Isaac's biological daughter, is still alive. She also entrusted me to come to the Noble Holy Land to discuss some matters about the oath. Something..."
There are very few people in this world who know the identity of Mr. Jing, and not all members of the Jing organization may know it.
Who would have thought that a character who lived a thousand years ago would still be alive today?
When Su Lun said this, the whole room was silent.
Originally, they were dubious when they heard Su Lun say that he was Seria's disciple. Although they would not doubt a warrior who saved their people, those words were a bit unbelievable for anyone to hear.
But now, he actually said that Sir Isaac’s biological daughter is still alive?
This news was like a bombshell, causing waves in everyone's hearts.
A group of calm wise men could not hide the shock in their eyes.
For a while, you could hear needles dropping in the huge tree house.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn’t know how to communicate.
Su Lun looked at them and said nothing, and then conveyed Mr. Jing’s original words, saying: “Ms. Ophelia also said... The Isaac family will always remember the oath and will defend humans and Daru with their lives. clan friendship."
He also didn’t expect that just by saying these words, he seemed to have touched some hidden restriction.
Su Lun suddenly felt some kind of power passing through him, which made him feel refreshed, and he said softly in his heart: "Was that the force of nature just now?"
He looked towards the room and realized that it seemed that the will of the sacred tree was responding to the oath?
He then realized that the oath made thousands of years ago was not that simple.
Su Lun originally thought it was something like a "covenant contract", but he didn't expect that it seemed to involve some very high level of legal power.
The "Oath" is the most secret and sacred part among the Daru people, and is even the source of their power.
It is said that when the gods grant them natural power, the warriors of the Daru tribe will impose restrictions on themselves. This is a kind of "oath". If you follow it, you will benefit; if you violate it, you will suffer.
This is something that even Yuta can't explain.
.......
"Is this... the sacred tree's response?!"
"The ancient vow has really come true..."
"The great God of nature has not abandoned his devout believers..."
"..."
The Daru people in the treehouse are more sensitive than Selun.
Obviously they also felt the sudden fluctuation of natural power just now, and they all began to pray excitedly.
It seemed as if hundreds of years of darkest time had passed, and I thought the night had ceased forever.
At this moment, they suddenly saw the dawn.
Sulun saw the tears of piety and excitement in the eyes of Yuta and these Daru elders, and he could feel the same in his heart.
It was as if the dark clouds had been swept away, and my eyes were filled with light of hope.
After a while, after praying, the elders of the Daru tribe looked at Su Lun again, and their eyes immediately changed.
Before, I was polite and respectful.
Now he is as cordial and enthusiastic as treating a relative.
Su Lun thinks this is good. He has a very good impression of the Daru people, and it would be good to be treated as a friend.
However, there is another problem.
Due to the issue of seniority, except for the elder Mona of the Deer Clan who is the clan leader, everyone in this room is countless generations shorter than Su Lun.
Su Lun declined in every possible way, but was still invited to the main seat and sat next to the clan leader.
Now that the sacred trees have recognized Su Lun, no one has any doubts.
Everyone seemed very excited, talking a lot, and asking questions about the oath and the heirs of the Isaac family.
But Su Lun himself didn’t know much. He could only tell the truth: “I don’t know much about the oath. Ms. Ophelia is still recovering in seclusion due to some physical reasons. After a while, She will come personally..."
The elders of the Daru tribe were all delighted when they heard this.
When the promised person appears, the prophecy will be fulfilled.
They have been overwhelmed by the recent bad news, but now they finally see hope.
At this time, the patriarch Mona also dug out a brass prayer tube engraved with cipher text from a wooden box in the tree house.
In the eyes of everyone, he opened and took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll, and said solemnly to Su Lun: "This is the oath scroll passed down by our family. Now that the descendants of the Isaac family have arrived, This vow is renewed by our witness..."
The scrolls were spread out in a ceremonial manner, and the people in the room looked solemn.
Su Lun saw a few simple sentences in the contract, which roughly stated, "The friendship between humans and the Daru tribe will last forever."
Looking at the signed signature, his eyes froze slightly.
This is the name signed by the demigod himself a thousand years ago.
Just seeing those few words, a strong sense of history and responsibility came over me.
Su Lun took the quill handed over by Jutta, signed his name and put his thumbprint.
Originally, he felt that his status was not enough, and Mr. Jing would be more suitable for this contract.
But when he came here before, he had contacted that senior sister.
Due to the vampire hibernation and relegation, she is still recovering her strength and will need some time.
In addition to bringing these words, she also specifically told Su Lun that he could make certain decisions on behalf of the Isaac family.
For example: signing a contract.
Mr. Jing did not regard Su Lun as an outsider,
Su Lun himself has nothing to worry about.
He is a descendant of the Isaac family, and it is natural for him to follow his oath.
.......
After the oath was signed, several Daru elders left.
Only Yuta, the deer leader Mona and Granny Wolf were left in the wooden house.
Su Lun also has some personal matters.
He said it directly: "In addition to the contract, there is also a private matter that needs to be troubled by the two elders. I would like to ask, does the noble have a way to solve the mental distortion?"
The head of the Deer clan looked at Su Lun and asked: "Little Su Lun has some mental problems? Do you mind taking a look?"
Su Lun handed over his hand.
The head of the deer clan furrowed his brows, and then motioned to Granny Wolf beside him to take a look.
The way they looked at Su Lun was also very strange. They were astonished as if they originally thought there was a cat in the cage, but then they saw a tiger.
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Su Lun knew that things would not go well.
After the inspection was completed, he asked: "Two elders, is this problem very troublesome?"
The Deer Patriarch pondered for a moment and said: "This situation should be that little Su Lun, you listened to the whispers of a certain dark god. Your current cognition cannot bear those high-level messages, which led to the distortion... ”
Speaking of this, the slightly turbid but wise eyes glanced at Su Lun, "And you use your will to suppress this negative mental force. This causes it to cause trouble to you at any time and space. .."
As expected of the leader of the Daru tribe, he hit the right note as soon as he said it.
If you tell the reason, you can solve it better.
The Daru people believe in gods, and they have had close contact with gods. So in some ways, they understood the power of the gods better than the alchemists did.
Su Lun looked attentively, waiting for him to tell him the solution.
The deer clan leader said again: "Your willpower is very strong, but this actually exacerbates the problem of distortion."
Su Lun has clearly felt this problem a long time ago, and suppressing it will only make the problem worse.
Just like blocking a flood forever, it can only be suppressed temporarily, but it cannot solve the root cause. On the contrary, it will become more serious.
But he has no other better way.
He asked: "Two elders, can this problem be solved?"
The deer chief said: "Okay..."
When Su Lun heard this, he was overjoyed.
I didn’t have any hope at first, I didn’t think it could really be solved.
The deer patriarch then added: "At present, I have thought of two methods, but neither of them can completely solve the problem. I can only try."
Su Lun looked at the old man with a sincere look on his face.
The deer patriarch added: "The first way is to stay in the holy land. There is the protection of the God of Nature here, which will suppress the influence of the whispers of the dark gods on you. There is also a strong power of nature, and It will help you soothe those negative mental forces."
Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.
When he came in before, he clearly felt the feeling of relief, and he had already guessed the method the old patriarch said.
But it would be a pity to hide in a corner for the rest of our lives without seeing such a wonderful world.
Probably guessing what he was thinking, Chief Deer said with a smile: "We, the Daru Tribe, always welcome friends, but your young people's ambitions should be in the wonderful world outside. So, there is a second way."
Su Lun: "Please enlighten me."
"That is to draw the [Devil-Eating Totem]."
Clan Chief Lu slowly said: "Originally, mental distortion is not a troublesome problem for our Daru tribe. Our tribe has inherited a totem method, which is solved by drawing some special totems. It is equivalent to giving the body Add a mental power container to absorb all the negative mental power. However, your problem is a bit special...the source comes from the dark gods, which means that the level of the totem needs to be very high."
"Totem?"
Su Lun heard some knowledge beyond his cognition.
Listening to this tone, it seems possible, but it also seems impossible.
The leader of the Deer Clan said: "As you can see, the inheritance of our Daru Clan is broken. The kind of totem that can perfectly solve your mental distortion can only be drawn perfectly by an Archdruid of at least the seventh level." ."
Su Lun listened with a flash of thought in his eyes.
I don't feel it's a pity. The old patriarch can tell you this method. Obviously there are some alternative methods that are feasible.
Sure enough, Chief Lu said again: "The clan has inherited some secret techniques of incomplete totems. I am not sure of solving the problem, but I can draw a totem to temporarily suppress..."
When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts in his mind were digesting those words, while other thoughts started to spin.
Since there is a way to solve this problem, then go towards this goal.
If the conditions are not met, then find a way to make them meet.
Grand Druid of level 7 or above?
Now that the strongest Daru tribe is only at level five, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t there before!
An idea flashed through Su Lun's mind.
He thought of the ancient ruins in the "Cursed Valley" in the north of the forest that Juta had said.
All the top warriors of the Daru tribe died there.
Su Lun guessed that the ruins were a plane passage like Dawn City, so it was very likely to form a "cursed space."
In the cursed space, you might be able to meet the former great druid.
It just so happened that he was going to find the [Mind Flayer], so he could go take a look.
If there is a curse space, and his current relationship with the Daru tribe, there will be a lot of room for maneuver...
