Chapter 259 [Essential Poem]
Suellen and Juta walked along the forest path, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.
Here you can see a layer of green with a strong sense of depth, fresh green, light green, and dark green.
Looking at the flowers and plants in the forest with an all-knowing eye, one can still find that many of them are alchemy materials that are very scarce or even extinct, and are only recorded in classics.
Su Lun was very curious about it, and Yuta also enthusiastically introduced him all the way.
The two of them walked along the bluestone slabs deep into the forest. After walking for several kilometers, their vision suddenly became clearer.
Only then did Su Lun realize that they had walked out of the forest and were standing on a small slope covered with shallow grass.
The eye is filled with emerald green, dotted with some colorful little flowers. The breeze blows on your face, and the fresh fragrance that soothes your pores flows through your nose. At the foot of the hillside, a winding river flows in front of you. What is surprising is that the sunlight shines on the river, with its scales shining and reflecting colorful luster.
There are huge trees next to the river, and there are small wooden houses with triangular roofs on the trees, row upon row, like dwarves' cabins in fairy tales.
The children of the Daru ethnic group were playing on the grass by the river, and laughter filled their ears.
A peaceful scene.
It seems like all the beauty in the world is within sight.
Su Lun's eyes froze for a moment.
Jutta looked at everything familiar, and a happy smile appeared in his crystal eyes: "Mr. Su Lun, we are here."
Su Lun nodded. Such beautiful scenery seemed to have washed away all the filth in his mind, and even the restless emotions in his heart had calmed down.
He felt the ethereal feeling carefully and murmured in his heart: "Is this the 'law of nature'?"
Su Lun thought and took off the clown mask on his face.
The breeze blows on my face.
The news that Juta and the two entered the Holy Land had long been spread to the Atrium Tribe by the patrolling sentries.
As soon as they walked out of the forest, a group of half-grown Daru children ran over from a distance, including wolves, bears, tigers and leopards, and others. They shouted: "Sister Juta!"
Jutta seems to be very popular in the tribe, and many people know her.
She also waved happily towards the group of half-grown boys.
Putting down her hands, she explained to Su Lun with a crooked smile on her brows: "If you want to become a qualified Druid, you must accept the teachings of the elders in the Midgard Tribe for a long time. I have been since I was very young. I lived here and left only two years ago.”
After a pause, she pointed to the young men and said: "They are all trainee druids sent to the Holy Land by various tribes to study."
After listening to this, Su Lun understood why the soul fire of these children was so strong in his perception. Most of them are at the second or even third level. He is much taller than the average demi-human who met the White Deer Tribe before.
In the blink of an eye, the half-grown men in the group rushed in front of the two people.
While welcoming Juta warmly, they also looked at the human Suellen with caution and caution.
Su Lun noticed it and didn't mind, with a friendly smile on his face.
Yuta naturally knew that the tribe was not very welcoming to humans. She introduced her seriously: "This is Mr. Su Lun, my savior. He also saved the White Deer tribe."
After saying this, the gleam in the eyes of these Daru children became less piercing.
But before she finished speaking, the leading wolf boy saw the wolf talisman hanging around Su Lun's neck. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Sister, you gave me your wolf claws." This human? ”
When Yuta heard this, she didn't know what she thought of, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She smiled softly and responded with something: "%&...%&*."
They communicated in Daru, but Su Lun didn't understand.
But at this moment, he clearly felt that the eyes that were originally softened suddenly became hot and angry.
Su Lun felt a little baffled. What on earth did Yuta say? Why did these boys suddenly become hostile?
Yuta did not translate the conversation just now. She just smiled and introduced the leading wolf boy who looked the most hostile to Su Lun, and said: "Mr. Su Lun, this is my brother Aku."
Su Lun asked curiously: "Brother?"
"Yeah."
Jutta had a doting expression on his face, "He is just a naughty and mischievous guy, don't mind him."
When Su Lun heard this, he took a closer look.
My sister is good-looking, and this wolf boy is also very handsome, but he still has a childish look on his face.
Hearing what his sister said, Aku seemed to be irritated and said with dissatisfaction: "Human, do you dare to fight with me?!"
As soon as he said this, the energetic tiger and leopard demi-human boys behind him also roared out eagerly.
The druids of the Daru tribe all learn the common language of mankind. These trainee druids cannot speak it very fluently, but they can express their emotions clearly.
Su Lun also understood that these guys wanted to beat him up?
He felt a little baffled and didn't know why he provoked these little druids.
Before Su Lun could ask, Yuta on the side interrupted, stared at these little brats, and scolded angrily: "Aku, Gale, please stop making trouble. Mr. Su Lun is very powerful, you just add Together, we can’t beat each other.”
Su Lun glanced at her. This way of trying to stop the fight seemed to add fuel to the fire?
Sure enough, the anger in the eyes of a group of teenagers became even stronger, and they clamored for a duel on the spot.
Aku was not convinced and said: "Humph, how is that possible! I am the number one warrior of the White Wolf clan in the future! I must let this human being know how powerful I am!"
Yuta rolled her eyes at him, and in a disdainful tone unique to her own sister, she mocked: "You can't even beat me, and you still want to fight Mr. Sullen?"
These sentences were all spoken in common language, and Su Lun could understand them.
He glanced at Jutta out of the corner of his eye, and felt that there was something strange about her trying to break up the fight.
But Yuta looked unconcerned, as if this was a custom among the Daru tribe, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, they are a bunch of brats. Sometimes, if you give them a good beating, they will behave."
"."
Su Lun felt a little helpless and didn't want to really beat these little brats.
After a pause, she blinked and added meaningfully, "In our Daru tribe, Aku is the king of children. Beating him up will save you a lot of trouble, Mr. Su Lun~"< br>
"."
Listening to this, Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
As a sister, how much do you want your brother to be beaten?
With the sister Yuta blocking her, the fight didn't go through after all.
However, more and more Daru people are watching Su Lun, a human being.
There are more teenagers who want to fight with him.
Su Lun also realized it. It seemed to be the reason for the wolf claw amulet given to him by Yuta?
It's nothing to Yuta, so he naturally doesn't mind either.
At this time, from the village next to the river, an acquaintance of Su Lun came up to him and greeted him from a distance: "Mr. Su Lun, long time no see."
Su Lun recognized it immediately after looking at it: "Elder Pasu!"
This is the elder of the Bear Tribe who was among the slaves that he bought at the Jiadurante Port auction.
He had previously encountered an accident because of the group of Daru tribesmen who returned from crossing the sea. Now that he saw the people, he was inexplicably relieved.
Pasu greeted him warmly: "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
As he spoke, he said to the Daru people surrounding him: "This is the human warrior who saved me and my people before, Mr. Su Lun."
After saying this, Su Lun felt that the eyes in the crowd softened again.
Many older Daru people smiled kindly at him, and Su Lun responded politely.
After the introduction, Pasu added: "Mr. Su Lun, we will talk about old times later. The clan leaders and elders know that you are coming and are waiting for you."
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
When he came, he really had to take care of business first, send a message to Mr. Jing, and also ask about the clan leader's mental aberration.
The group of people walked towards the village.
After crossing the colorful creek on the shallow rock beach, there is a forest of sulfur trees. Most of them are elms and ash trees. They are not densely packed, but they are all very huge. On the giant trees surrounded by dozens of people, there were small tree houses that looked like colorful mushrooms.
Su Lun looked at the house, and there were heads poking out, curiously looking at him as a human being.
Almost all the Daru people in the Emerald Holy Land have never seen a human being in their lives.
Oh, no, it was before yesterday.
Now comes the second one.
Su Lun has also been thinking about who the warrior predicted by the Daru tribe will be.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into him while walking.
There are not many man-made buildings in the treehouse village, at most there are some stone-paved paths.
But in the center of the village, there are several very conspicuous large black stone monuments.
Each of the stone tablets is as big as a dozen blackboards.
Because it was so long ago, the stone monument was covered with moss and vines.
At this moment, a man in a red cloak was standing in front of the stone tablet, looking at the inscription carefully.
Even if it was just the back view, Su Lun could recognize it as a human being at a glance.
Because the Daru people wear animal skin clothing, but the red cloak is a high-end textile in the human world.
However, what is even more coincidental is that Su Lun also knows the person who passed on the cloak!
The crowd walked over, and the noise made the cloaked man who was carefully studying the inscription turn his head.
It was a little girl with two big flaxen braids and freckles on her face.
"Katyusha?"
Su Lun had been thinking about who would be the "prophetic person" of the Daru tribe. He never expected that it would be the noble lady who returned the ring and gave him a [Star Amulet].
Katyusha also saw Su Lun, and she seemed to be surprised to see a human being in her eyes.
After looking at it for a moment, she seemed to recognize something.
Although Su Lun didn't wear a mask, the aura on her body and the amulet around her waist felt very familiar to her, so she tentatively asked: "Mr. Nicholas?"
Su Lun looked at her and recognized him. He didn't pretend not to know him, and responded: "Miss Katyusha, why are you here?"
Katyusha's crystal eyes immediately lit up when she heard his response, as if she was excited to meet an old friend in a foreign land, "Ah, it's really you!"
She trotted over happily and chirped like a magpie: "My family guards and I came to the forest to look for meteorites, and then we happened to encounter the Daru tribe's slave capture team. By chance, I helped a little bit more. Busy. Then, they invited me here as a guest"
Su Lun also suddenly realized that this was the case.
He naturally knew that this girl came to the ice field to look for meteorites. There are many slave-catching teams in the forest, so it's not surprising to encounter them.
Katyusha seemed very excited when she met an acquaintance, but suddenly her expression was startled.
She seemed to have remembered something embarrassing, a blush instantly appeared on her white neck, and she asked weakly: "Last time I was drunk, Mr. Nicholas, please send me back. Well, I didn't do anything. Isn’t that too rude? ”
Su Lun smiled and shook his head, which was considered a response.
Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Yuta, Pasu and all the Daru people were also surprised.
So the two "warriors" knew each other?
Juta was very familiar with Su Lun, and she asked directly: "Mr. Su Lun, do you know him?"
Su Lun nodded, "Well, I've met him twice before in Blizzard City."
Jutta: "Oh."
Katyusha blinked when she heard this title, as if she was very curious about the name "Su Lun".
Su Lun didn't explain much and laughed dryly.
There are too many enemies, and I am used to using fake names.
He added: "Wait for me to go to the patriarch's place, and we'll talk about it later."
Katyusha nodded politely, "Okay."
Before taking two steps, Katyusha went to the stone tablet again, seemingly intending to continue studying the words on it.
Sulendo took a look and saw that those strange symbols were Daruwen.
Can Katyusha read Daruvan?
And you look at it with gusto?
Probably aware of his gaze, Katyusha wanted to share her joy, and introduced with excitement on her face: "Mr. Nicholas, this is [Ossian's poem]! O'Siang was once a member of the Daru tribe and even the entire One of the greatest troubadours in the mainland, he once traveled in the human world and left many beautiful poems. My family is lucky enough to collect some fragments. I didn’t expect that there are complete poems here!”
She said, like a fanatical little girl, and she did not hesitate to praise: "Oh, these poems are so beautiful. Mr. Nicholas, when you are finished, I will read you these beautiful poems. It will be absolutely wonderful." It will be the most enjoyable experience in the world.”
"Yeah."
Suellen nodded.
Only then did it suddenly dawn on me that what was recorded on the stone tablet was poetry.
On the way here, Su Lun also learned a lot about the customs of the Daru people through Yuta.
One of the unique features of the Daru people is that although they have writing, their inheritance, especially their magic, is not recorded in any classics.
In their words, the text analysis of predecessors can indeed allow future generations to quickly understand an abstract concept, but it also limits their vision and solidifies certain ideas.
People have different insights and perceive the world differently. Even if they read the same text, they understand the content differently.
The Daru people believe that everything they have is given by God, and magic spells recorded in writing must be misinterpreted. Only by "not establishing writing" can they get closer to God's will.
This is also the most important reason why after their "Battle of the Cursed Valley", no one among the high-level druid warriors could communicate with the gods anymore, and they were directly passed on to the next generation.
It sounds incredible, even a bit "superstitious". But there used to be many top experts in the Daru tribe, which means that this inheritance method must be "reasonable" to some extent.
Su Lun speculated that the "oracle" might be an existence like a perception, which could only be understood but not expressed in words.
But there is only one exception, and that is poetry.
Poetry is not a partial literary skill, but one of the rules that can truly condense the divine personality.
The God of Nature believed by the Daru people is said to be a high-level deity who embodies the three divine personalities of nature, poetry, and peace.
Su Lun didn't understand the difference between these gods for the time being, but listening to Yuta's description, the God of Nature seemed to be much higher level than the fallen angel in Dawn City.
Because of this belief, the Daru people have historically been an intelligent race rich in troubadours.
The top experts of the Daru tribe are almost all great poets!
Although Su Lun does not understand poetry, he also knows from classics that the nature of the poetry created by top bards is no different from the "secret books" in the field of alchemy, and contains certain special rules and spells.
[Xiang O's Poems] He also heard Mr. Jing mention that in some fields, the value of this poem is not even lower than [Isaac's Alchemy Notes].
These stone tablets of the Daru tribe in front of us are truly priceless treasures.
Su Lun was not surprised that there was something in the holy land of the Daru people. What he was more curious about was that Katyusha actually understood Daru writing?
Although I have seen this little girl more than once, my impression is not bad.
The reason for her origin is also clear.
But all the causes and effects are perfect like a story.
Instead of being unclear, Su Lun's impression of this aristocratic lady became increasingly hazy and mysterious. (End of chapter)
