Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 279: Sacred objects of the Daru people

Not long after the communicator signal was sent out, a response came from Yuta.

That Druid lady is indeed here.

Not long after, Su Lun found Yuta in the underground palace.

After asking, Su Lun realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Compared to his own narrow escape experience, Juta's experience was like cheating.

As soon as she came in, she directly felt the protection and guidance of the Yin spirits of the Daru ancestors, and then she entered the depths of the cursed space unimpeded.

What's even more amazing is that while she was walking, she picked up a "holy object".

After that, without encountering any danger, she waited until Su Lun contacted her

"So, you picked up the sacred object of your Daru tribe [Dagda's Magic Pot] just outside?"

Su Lun looked at the golden artifact floating around Yuta with a strange expression.

There are indeed many treasures in this cursed space...

But almost every time he got one, he risked his life greatly.

Yuta actually "picked up" such a treasure so casually?

This magic pot, which looks like an incense burner or a cauldron, contains colorful liquids. Various elements of red, yellow, blue, and green are mixed together, like a pot of rainbow stewed. Extremely Beautiful.

[Dagda’s Magic Pot]

Detailed explanation: One of the four holy weapons of the Daru tribe, a divine weapon given by the God of Nature; it improves the user's natural element affinity, magic recovery, and spell penetration to gain huge increases; the holder has super powerful elemental spell comprehension. A natural barrier to protect the body; this is an instrument for communicating with the gods, and devout believers will sense the existence of the gods; only those with natural power can drive it;

The identified attributes are exaggerated, allowing one to mobilize almost all elements. It can be regarded as the "artifact" of the elemental mage.

However, only the natural power of the Daru tribe can drive it, and others cannot envy it.

What surprised Su Lun even more was that because the magic hair pot was close to him, the coercion of this Druid lady became very strange in his perception. It was kind of ethereal and unpredictable. a feeling of.

"Yeah."

Juta nodded timidly.

She looked like a little girl who was afraid of being scolded for doing something wrong. She glanced at Su Lun secretly and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su Lun, I shouldn't have hidden this from you. But this is our Daru tribe. The closest I’ve ever been to my ancestors, I can’t give up.”

When Su Lun heard this, he smiled and shook his head.

The "Four Sacred Objects" indeed have extraordinary significance to the Daru people, which is related to inheritance and the survival of the ethnic group.

The ancestors of the Daru tribe have been searching for holy objects for hundreds of years. Their urgency is enough to make them give up their lives.

Su Lun can naturally understand Juta's decision.

Besides, it was thanks to Yuta that he survived.

Although there has been no air-to-air dialogue in this timeline, if Juta had not come in, the previous "time mystery" might have been a dead end.

"You can tell me more directly next time."

Su Lun knew why Yuta hid it from him and didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek.

After a pause, he asked again: "Then where are you going now?"

Seeing that Su Lun didn't mean to blame her for causing trouble, Yuta blinked and looked very happy.

She smiled and showed her little fangs, and responded: "I plan to go and see what those humans are doing. The heroic souls of our ancestors left their legacy, and they must not be allowed to destroy the seal here."

Hearing this, Su Lun also nodded: "Yes."

Of course he wanted to take a look.

Although he was chased by the sixth-level "beast" Barrett in a panic. But now he is extremely familiar with this underground palace. It can be said that even if he is chased again, he will be sure to escape through the terrain.

What's more, with the holy object in Yuta's hand, his combat power is not simple

Su Lun changed his route and quietly approached the Hall of Valor.

After a long distance, he released the black crow and flew over cautiously.

In the field of vision, poisonous corpses are everywhere in the Hall of Heroes, and the poisonous incense burner has disappeared.

It seems that the previous tactics of diverting trouble to the east have brought some trouble to those in the Holy Legion, but not too much.

There are about a hundred people left in that legion.

Su Lun and Yuta did not go out, so they hid deep in the corridor.

The destruction of the cursed space is coming to an end, and this is no longer something they can stop.

All they have to do is wait for the opportunity.

"There should be no arms in the coffin. Those guys will probably be shocked when they see it"

Su Lun's left eye reflected the scene that Black Crow saw. He watched as those people had used the decoder to open the rune chains binding the coffin and were opening the store cautiously.

He had been in close contact with the black coffin and knew what state it should have been in originally. Now that I don't see the necromantic energy leaking out, I'm sure that the arm is definitely not inside.

So, the past causes did lead to the current results.

Theoretically, it is possible for two identical items to appear in the same cursed space.

But the premise is that there is enough energy.

And if the "curse source" that supports the cursed space, like the [Hundred-Armed Giant King's Arm], is taken away, there will not be enough curse sources to form a second one.

As expected.

The sound of metal friction "click, click, click" resounded through the Hall of Valor, and a man in windbreaker approached cautiously.

Then, they saw the empty scene in the coffin through the gap.

Immediately, an incredible shout came from the corridor: "How could it be empty?! The seal has not been opened, how could the contents inside be gone!"

However, before those people could think about it, the surrounding scene began to collapse.

Those people destroyed the seal, and the stability that maintained the entire cursed space was broken, and the space naturally collapsed

Su Lun watched the surrounding environment change. They were also in an underground maze.

But obviously, the roots around it are more luxuriant.

The scene in the cursed space before was probably from the timeline five hundred years ago, but now this is the real world. The air was humid and humid, the corridor was broken and collapsed everywhere, and there were thick moss on the stones.

The roots of the gray elm trees that have grown for five hundred years have squeezed and deformed the ruins, wrapping them even more tightly.

It's not enough. It's a good thing to be out of the cursed space full of dangers just now.

Su Lun's eyes roamed around, re-examining the place where they were staying.

The environment has changed, which means that the previously planned escape route is different.

But at this time, Yuta's expression became very strange, as if he had been greatly shocked and seemed to be out of his mind.

Su Lun thought something was wrong with her and asked, "Is that what you're doing, Juta?"

After hearing the inquiry, Yuta seemed to have come back from his fugue.

"Mr. Su Lun! Me me"

For a moment, uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on her face, and she said excitedly: "I seem to have sensed the call of the great God of Nature!"

Five hundred years have passed, and the Daru tribe has never felt the call of the gods since that battle ended their inheritance.

Now, she feels it!

"Feel the call of nature?"

Su Lun thought about the information that he had identified before, so it was not too surprising.

When he saw Yuta's eyes suddenly sparkling, he was also happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

At least she risked her life and it finally paid off.

However, being happy is one thing. Su Lun couldn't help but look at the magic hair pot floating beside her.

He felt that Yuta's aura was getting more and more ethereal at the moment, like the fourth level, the fifth level, and the sixth level, getting higher and higher

"What an exaggeration"

Su Lun smiled and narrowed his eyes, murmuring in his heart.

This is the difference between alchemists and believers of gods.

The source of the alchemist's power depends entirely on himself, and his alchemy equipment and cultivation can only be improved step by step with difficulty;

Most of the power of believers in gods comes from gods.

The believers' magic spells are more like prayers, expecting a response from the gods. Just like the Daru people's mantra is "Great God of Nature, please grant me the power of XX element".

If there is no response from the gods, the power of the spell will be very small.

But once you respond, or if you have the blessing of a god, the power is hard to say

Yuta sensed the call of the God of Nature and knelt on the ground with a pious look on his face, muttering some mysterious spells in Daru language.

A magical scene appeared in front of me.

Green light spots like fireflies suddenly emerged from the knotted roots, floating around Yuta one by one, and then integrated into her body.

Gradually, her body surface also emitted a soft fluorescence, and a surging magic power overflowed.

The magic power gradually echoed with the sacred object [Dagda's Magic Pot] beside her. The magic pot overflowed with colorful luster, and the brilliant colored ribbons were full of luster, as if they were alive, lingering around her and lighting up the entire corridor.

Su Lun didn't expect the movement to be so big, and quickly blocked the fluctuations of energy leakage around him.

The Yuta in front of him was shrouded in a green light group, and his aura was getting higher and higher. Her clothes turned into dots and dispersed in the air, and her skin gradually changed from wheat color to amber translucent, as if all dust and impurities had been washed away. That force of nature seemed to be cleansing her marrow.

Su Lun looked at the natural force that obviously did not belong to Yuta, and became more and more curious. He guessed something in his heart: "Is this the inheritance method of the Daru tribe? The divine power is truly a magical method."

The vision lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the light on Yuta's body gradually weakened. Her skin color slowly returned to its original state.

But those green lights did not disappear completely, but left a mysterious red totem on her skin. It's on my forehead, cheeks, chest, back, and lower abdomen all over my body.

Because of the close relationship, Su Lun does not have to avoid suspicion.

He looked curiously at the red totem on Yuta's naked body.

He himself has a [Eclipse Sun] totem, but compared with this red totem, the difference is too obvious.

"This is a very high-level totem, seventh level? Eighth level? Ninth level?"

Su Lun thought for a moment.

Although the totem secrets of the Daru tribe and the runes in alchemy have different systems, they have some aspects in common.

He can naturally see that the totem of Yuta has a kind of coercion derived from the cover of the law.

At this time, Yuta also opened her eyes suddenly, and an inexplicable majesty like a wolf king looking down on the world emanated from her.

This momentum made Su Lun frown.

But after a moment, Yuta controlled the leaked aura and returned to his original gentle self.

She looked at Su Lun excitedly, her voice trembling, "Mr. Su Lun, I feel the presence of the great God of Nature!"

"Yeah."

Su Lun witnessed the whole process and naturally guessed that the power might come from gods.

He smiled and nodded, also happy for Juta.

"We, the Daru people, have hope!"

Jutta couldn't help but share her joy, spread her hands, and jumped over.

Su Lun put his arms around the gentle body in his arms and gave her a warm hug.

Yuta buried his head in Su Lun's shoulder, crying with joy, and repeated in his mouth: "God has not abandoned our Daru tribe, I and our Daru tribe can be saved!"

The despair that the entire ethnic group had suppressed for hundreds of years was finally completely released at this moment.

The darkest hour finally passed, and she saw the light of dawn.

Su Lun caressed her smooth back and said lightly, "Well, it will be better in the future."

Jutta suddenly felt the call of the God of Nature, which was a great blessing.

However, this is obviously not the time to talk about this now.

While Yuta was still immersed in joy and excitement, suddenly, a fierce argument came from deep in the corridor.

Su Lun has been paying attention to this group of people through the black crow, so he naturally knows what is going on.

Lu Ying and those people seem to have some internal conflict

In the real world, the giant Hall of Valor is buried several deep, and the nine-pointed star on the ground where the coffin was placed has turned into a pit like a bottomless pit.

Looking at the black hole, even through the black crow's field of vision, gave Su Lun a palpitating feeling.

It is as if the black hole is connected with the underworld, containing evil, destruction, and indescribable terror.

At this moment, two groups of people were confronting each other on both sides of the pothole.

On one side are three men in trench coats, and on the other side are the Holy Judgment Legion of less than a hundred people.

The legion commander Su Lun met before, Barrett, seems to have changed his mind and intends to prevent the seal from being cracked.

"General Barrett, do you know what we are looking for? You are disobeying military orders!"

"No, I don't want to prevent the seal here from being unlocked. But after all, the North Icefield is too far away from the imperial capital, and there may be some errors in the transmission of information. What I mean is that the Queen may not know the situation of this ruins. I think the most appropriate way is to seal the ruins first, and I will personally go to the imperial capital to report before it is too late to excavate the ruins."

"Hmph! Are you questioning our Military Intelligence Office?"

"No, no, no. Yeager, we are all old friends. You know I have not questioned the intentions of your Military Intelligence Department. But I think the matter may involve some factors that are currently beyond our control. Be cautious. That’s what it should be.”

"You!"

""

Seeing that the dispute between the two parties was getting more and more intense, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It seems that what I said before is not completely useless. That Barrett still has a conscience. Otherwise, these guys are really going to break through by force." After opening the seal, I really can’t do anything to them."

However, things are obviously not that easy.

Those guys in trench coats from the Military Intelligence Department did not give up so easily.

The leader, the guy named Yeager, suddenly took out a golden lion token: "Barrett, this is the Queen's order. Seeing the order is like Her Majesty the Queen coming in person."

As expected, as soon as this golden order came out, the sergeants of the Holy Judgment Legion suddenly looked at each other. Even Barrett protected his chest with a serious look on his face. The sergeants behind him knelt down half-kneeling with him, performed a knightly salute towards the token, and shouted in unison: "Glory is my life!"

Yeager sneered, holding the golden order and shouted coldly: "The Holy Judgment Legion listens to the order! Pass on Her Majesty the Queen's secret order and continue to break the seal!"

After hearing this, Barrett still maintained the half-kneeling posture of saluting and did not get up.

He stared at the ground deeply, not knowing what to think about.

The legion commander didn't move, and the sergeants behind him didn't make any move either.

"You guys"

Seeing that this group of people were unmoved, Yeager's face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily: "You disobey the Queen's secret order, do you want to rebel?"

Hearing the harsh word "rebellion", everyone in the Holy Judgment Legion looked ugly.

As a royal knight who has been loyal to the royal family for generations, this is the greatest insult to them.

After pondering for a moment, Barrett finally spoke and said in an extremely low voice: "My Holy Legion will always be His Majesty's most loyal guard!"

Hearing this, Yeager's face relaxed.

But at this time, Barrett seemed to have made a decision, and then he said loudly: "But I still insist on my opinion. This ruins must not be unsealed now! As the commander of the Judgment Legion, I have The right is to make the most reasonable contingency decisions based on the war situation on the field. This is also the right granted to battlefield commanders by His Majesty and Congress! I also believe that my judgment is beneficial to the empire!"

As soon as he said these words, the sergeants behind him immediately responded to their regiment commander and shouted: "Glory is my life!"

Yeager's face became very ugly when he heard that, and he was no longer polite when he spoke: "Barrett, do you know what you are talking about? If you disobey the Queen's secret order, you and your subordinates will be sent to a military court. The crime can lead to death! Moreover, you will burn down the hundreds of years of honor of your Judgment Corps, and even implicate your family and friends in the imperial capital!"

The threat in these words is already full.

Betraying royal orders is not as simple as death for a knight.

In the end, your reputation will be ruined, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated.

But even so, Barrett's eyes were firm and his tone was unwavering: "I know exactly what I am doing."

To outsiders, Barrett is just a rough guy who only knows how to fight.

How can a professional who has advanced to the sixth level not know some secrets?

Conquering, sailing, and exploring all year round, I have excavated ruins, encountered various intelligent native races, heard legends, and learned a lot of secrets.

His experience is much wider than that of the nobles in the imperial capital who have never been outside.

When he was cursing the space before, Bazel might have been just skeptical.

Now that he saw the trace of high-level chaotic laws leaking out of the black hole, he felt inexplicable palpitations. How could he not have guessed that this situation was completely consistent with what the man in the crow's mouth mask said before?

He knows very well that even if it is not a "God Burial Place", there is still a big problem with this ruins!

He even suspected that there was something wrong with the top brass of the Military Intelligence Department.

There is even a problem within the royal family!

This ruins must not be opened until it is clear!

Looking at Barrett's attitude, Yeager suddenly flashed a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "Now I declare that Bazel disobeyed military orders and revoked his position as commander of the Holy Judgment Army!"
