Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 259: 【Eclipse】
In the tree house, Su Lun sat shirtless on the floor mat woven with bamboo shoots.
Grandma Wolf was preparing materials for drawing totems, went up to the attic, and rummaged through them. I took some monster blood, crystal cores, ores and herbs, dozens of materials, and crushed them together in the grinding trough.
After a while, a dark paint was produced.
The deer chief used wooden thorns to draw totems on Su Lun's body.
While he was drawing, he was reciting incantations, and his body was gradually enveloped in a glow like fireflies. He harnesses a force of nature that far exceeds his own strength.
Looking at the source of this power, Su Lun looked more like it came from this sacred tree.
The drawing process is very complicated, and Su Lun, an alchemist who is proficient in rune drawing, is a little confused.
While drawing, the Chief of the Deer Patriarch said: "The level of laws that this totem can only contain is not too high. But as long as the whispers of the gods do not appear frequently, under normal circumstances, you will not be in crisis for three to five years. By then you will You can come to the Holy Land again and I will draw a new totem for you."
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded.
This totem is like giving him an external receiving device for Jiang He. When it is full, he will need to replace it with another one.
Without the "Shadow of Death" ability, it can probably last three to five years.
However, Su Lun naturally still wants to use the second level talent.
He asked: "If it is a more advanced totem, can this problem be permanently solved?"
"Yes."
The deer patriarch gave a positive answer, saying: "If you are an Archdruid of the seventh level or above, you can draw a permanent totem with 'spirituality'. When the time comes, not only will you not have to change the totem. On the contrary, you will also Can the totem develop a 'spirit'... let the mental power in the totem feed back to you when you need it. For example, if you advance to a certain level and need a lot of mental power to break through the bottleneck, that will be an excellent help."
Grandma Wolf on the side seemed to have thought of something. She sighed slightly and interjected: "If the clan's sacred object [Far's Holy Grail] was still there, there would be no need to solve this problem so much. But unfortunately, now the sacred object Also lost."
"Holy Grail?"
When Su Lun heard this, he looked thoughtful.
Although the sacred object is lost, it is a good thing that there is now another way to completely solve the problem.
He then thought about it, and there was a [Spear Brionak Spear] tip in front of him. He could ask Katyusha later where she found this thing, and maybe there would be relevant clues.
Furthermore, if the battle took place near the ruins of the Cursed Valley, maybe clues to several other sacred objects of the Daru tribe could be obtained in the cursed space.
At this time, the Deer Chief looked at Su Lun frowning and thinking deeply, thinking that he was worried about his spiritual problems, so he smiled and shook his head, and expressed a different view, "In fact, among us druids, It seems that mental distortion is not entirely a bad thing. My friend Su Lun, you don’t have to completely abandon those things. Even gods also have greed, jealousy, anger and other negative emotions. Everything in the world is a part of nature. . Without 'darkness', there would be no 'light'. In the same way, it is impossible for people to completely abandon other emotions besides rational emotions."
After a pause, he continued: "So, mental distortion has negative aspects and positive aspects. If you make good use of it, it is a powerful force that can make your strength grow rapidly. Negative mental power is strong, Correspondingly, your body's beneficial mental power must be strong. Of course, the premise is that your willpower prevents you from completely becoming a slave to your emotions."
""
Su Lun listened thoughtfully to the words of Chief Deer, nodding in approval from time to time.
Mental aberration did cause his mental power to skyrocket, which was a rate of increase that was far inferior to harvesting and meditation.
If it does not endanger your life, it is indeed a shortcut to practice
It took about a whole day of small class work to complete the totem drawing.
The demon-eating totem drawn on Su Lun’s body has its own name, called [Eclipse Sun].
The finished product does not look complicated, like a black line outlining the sun. The middle is empty, surrounded by thick black lines diverging from it.
Su Lun felt that this pattern looked familiar.
His current figure is also very slender, with muscles that are highly separated and clumped together. This black sun pattern pierces the upper body, which is a bit like the ultimate level wave SS "Orochi" in the previous arcade game The King of Fighters. It has a heroic spirit.
With the complete totem on his body, he clearly felt that this totem contained a high-level "natural power", and those uncontrollable mental powers were absorbed into it.
This is much more effective than the [Clown Mask] he made himself.
Su Lun estimated in his mind that he could probably hold on by using the "Shadow of Death" a few times.
This visit to the Holy Land of the Daru Tribe was not in vain, at least this is the best method he currently knows to solve mental aberrations.
After drawing the totem, Su Lun had no intention of staying in the wooden house longer. He put on his coat and thanked sincerely, "Two elders, thank you very much for helping me solve this big trouble."
Hearing this, the two old men showed kind smiles.
The head of the Deer Clan said: "You are so polite, little friend Su Lun. Compared with the hope you have brought to us, the Daru Tribe, this small favor seems a bit insignificant."
Su Lun smiled politely.
After a pause, the leader of the Deer clan thought of something, and said something more advanced: "By the way, there is one more thing you can pay more attention to, Su Lun. Human emotions and desires are normal physiological reactions, and you should not always suppress them. They, proper relaxation, will make your situation better"
"Okay."
Su Lun nodded.
Looking as he was about to leave, Yuta on the side also smiled and said: "Master Patriarch, Granny Wolf, let's go first~"
Grandma Wolf naturally saw the wolf claw amulet hanging around Su Lun's neck early in the morning, with a meaningful smile on her eyebrows, "Yes. Yuta, just take Mr. Su Lun for a walk in the holy land. Later clan There will be a dinner party there."
Jutta responded obediently: "Yes."
With that said, she led Su Lun out of the cabin.
The two old people from the Daru tribe looked at the backs of the two young people, the kind smiles in their eyes getting stronger and stronger
To go to the colorful riverside village from the sacred tree, you will pass through a dense forest.
The two of them walked not fast either.
After coming out, Juta's pace seemed very cheerful.
Before coming here, the dark cloud of the survival of the tribe was weighing on everyone's head, and everyone in the Daru tribe had a string in their hearts.
The most important thing is that there is no hope that the situation will improve.
But now that "those who keep the oath" are here, everything seems to be changing for the better.
As Yuta thought about it, his face was filled with a bright smile.
After walking a little further, she secretly glanced at the wooden house behind her, as if she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Su Lun joked: "Grandma Wolf looks very kind. Why are you so afraid of her?"
Youta patted his chest and said: "Mr. Su Lun, you don't know how strict Granny Wolf is! When we were young, my friends and I couldn't remember the effects of those herbs, and we would always get beaten up; we fell asleep praying. , they would also have their ears pulled and scolded; I hurt my leg jumping into a waterfall and it was so painful that I had to be scolded when I came back."
She tilted her head and counted the embarrassing things in her childhood one by one, with a happy smile in her eyes.
Listening to her chatter, Su Lun seemed to see a scene: a stern teacher teaching a group of naughty wolf cubs, tiger cubs, and deer cubs
He also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I have never seen so many smiles on her face."
After a pause, Youta looked at Su Lun curiously again, his eyes full of novelty: "I didn't expect Mr. Su Lun to be a disciple of Mr. Isaac. No wonder he is so powerful."
Su Lun looked at her pretty face and smiled.
There was only a hard mud path in the forest, and the two of them walked along it.
The bright sunshine in early summer shines through the gaps in the treetops, making it warm on the body.
A patch of green grass beside the road is blooming with small white flowers. There are dots of green leaves above the head, which are heavy fruits, orange, yellow, purple and some slightly green fruits.
There were three or two deer in the forest eating grass leisurely. They looked at the two people who broke into the forest, glanced at them, and then continued eating on their own.
Everything here is so peaceful and comfortable.
Su Lun was walking in the forest and was fascinated for a moment
Unconsciously, the two of them walked back to the village.
Probably because they knew Su Lun’s identity, the Daru tribe became very enthusiastic.
As he walked along, everyone nodded.
But everyone was quiet, as if they were listening to something.
Su Lun followed everyone's gaze and looked over. In front of the huge black stone tablet, a girl in a red cloak was standing there, concentrating on reading the poems on the stone tablets.
Su Lun became more and more interested in the identity of this noble lady whom he had met three times.
Her appearance always makes people feel that there is a layer of mystery behind it. I wanted to find out more about her and ask her where she found the sacred object.
The girl with the whip seemed to be completely fascinated.
On that serious little face, sometimes the brows were furrowed, and sometimes the words were deep in thought, as if he was very obsessed with the poem on the stone tablet.
Su Lun seemed to be in no hurry to say hello, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Because at this moment, he saw that Katyusha had a special halo visible to the naked eye. It's a bit like an elemental barrier, but it's not some element of earth, wind, water, and fire. It seems to be some kind of rhythm that conforms to the laws of nature.
Red cloak, stone tablet, primitive village
She stood there, as if she had blended into this beautiful painting.
Heaven and earth resonate with her.
When people look at it, it seems as if she should be there.
Yutala pulled Su Lun's arm, shook her head gently, and whispered: "Don't disturb her, she is roaming in poetry."
When she said this, there was a complicated look in her eyes, "I heard from the elders in the clan that only those who can truly understand the poems on the stone tablets will be immersed in the stories of the poems. This young lady, in His attainments in poetry are very high."
Su Lun listened to this, thoughtfully, and stood quietly.
Although he doesn't understand poetry, he also knows that it is the same as the law.
Only those who truly understand can understand the mystery inside it.
At this time, a subtle but clear sound of reciting sounded in my ears.
That's a poem.
"How can I compare you to summer?
You are not only cuter than him, but also gentler than him;
When you live with time in immortal poetry.
As long as there are humans or humans have eyes,
This poem will last forever and give you life. ”
The voice is radiant, melodious and melodious.
Reading a poem is like singing a song, more like telling a story.
Katyusha stood in front of the stone slab and read the entire poem before sighing: "This poem is so beautiful!"
At this time, she seemed to have come out of that wonderful state.
I noticed the two Su Lun behind me.
Katyusha looked back and immediately showed an expression of joy: "Mr. Nicholas"
Just when she opened her mouth to shout, there was a hint of cunning in her crystal eyes, and she blinked, "Should I call you 'Mr. Nicholas' or 'Mr. Sullen'?"
"It's up to you."
Su Lun didn't feel embarrassed and responded calmly.
In aristocratic etiquette, it is considered rude to use a pseudonym for a lady.
But Su Lun had no such scruples. He felt that he was just an ordinary person and could not fit into the upper class society.
Besides, he also felt that the name "Katyusha" should also be a pseudonym.
At least, among the top nobles of Lu Ying in the various memories he peeled off, there was no young lady from the duke or marquis family with this name.
And the person in front of me, who can take out a sacred weapon at will, is definitely not a small noble.
No one told the truth, so it’s not embarrassing.
Katyusha was obviously extremely intelligent. She seemed to see what Su Lun was thinking, and said faintly: "I didn't say a false name~ My name is 'Katyusha', and everyone in the family calls me that. ."
Look at her joking expression, she seems to be able to speak: You lied to the little girl, just a little bit~
Su Lun was slightly embarrassed when he heard this and changed the subject: "I heard you read a poem just now. It was very nice. You are a very powerful poet."
He was also testing the waters, clearly saying that he was an "apprentice of astrology," as if his attainments in poetry were ridiculously high.
Katyusha didn’t seem to mind others praising her, but she modestly said: “It’s not that great.”
She pointed to the stone tablet behind her, and a fanatical fanaticism suddenly appeared on her face, "The seniors of the Daru tribe who wrote these poems are really amazing! These poems record The most wonderful story in the world, this is truly soulful poetry~"
Su Lun nodded in approval.
He glanced at the stone tablet, but unfortunately, he couldn't read the Daru writing.
Even if he can read, a rough guy like him who follows the "Law of Death" route only knows how to fight and kill. I can't understand the mystery and romantic feelings between the lines of the poem.
At this time, Su Lun looked at the little girl Katyusha and his curious eyes fell on Yuta beside him, and then he remembered to introduce: "This is Elder Yuta. Darui of the White Wolf Clan. ”
Katyusha was polite and well-behaved, and her mouth was sweet: "Hello, sister Yuta, my name is Katyusha. Nice to meet you."
Although the first time he saw Katyusha, Yuta had a very strange feeling in his heart, as if her fate would have a lot to do with her in the future.
But the "warrior" who brought back the sacred object and saved his tribe could never be wary.
She also responded politely: "Hello, Miss Katyusha."
