Chapter 260 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.
During the flowering period, 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 distinct "door"-shaped stone shelves.
The moss-covered stone shelves are carved with simple patterns, which makes people feel a sense of sacredness and solemnity.
When Pasu and Yuta came to the giant tree, they clasped their hands together and prayed solemnly.
After praying, Yuta introduced to Su Lun: "This is the sacred tree of our Daru tribe. It is as old as the holy land. I heard from our ancestors that the sacred tree was personally blessed by the great God of Nature. ”
Su Lun also looked slightly sideways when he heard this. This tree was indeed different from others, giving people a spiritual feeling.
The branches were waving as if to welcome him as a guest.
Yuta said again: "Let's go, the patriarch and the others are inside."
Su Lun nodded and walked into the tree hole.
Once inside, I found a different world.
The space in the tree hole is larger than that from 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.
Judging from their faces, they are very old.
These are the elders of the Daru tribe.
"Only two fifth-level ones?"
Su Lun sensed the soul fire of these people and clearly identified two of them at the fifth level.
One of them is an old deer tribesman with a long beard under his forehead.
The antlers on his head were huge, half as big as his body. He looked like a wise man, probably the patriarch Mona.
Next to him was an old woman with gray wolf ears, who must be the "Wolf Granny" that Yuta always mentioned timidly.
No wonder the Daru tribe is so weak. There are only two fifth-level members 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 enshrined.
The omniscient pupil took a look, and then realized that it had a lot of background.
【Spear Brionak (Damaged)】
Detailed explanation: One of the four sacred weapons of the Daru tribe, a divine weapon given by the God of Nature; in its complete state, it can be projected over long distances, ignoring obstacles and defenses, and can pierce any law level within the user's perception range that is not higher than the spear law. Items with additional legal piercing damage; after attacking, the divine spear will return to the hand of the spear thrower; only those with natural power can drive it;
"Is this the sacred object that Katyusha brought back?"
Su Lun watched as thoughts flashed through his mind.
The effect seems to be somewhat similar to that of his black scythe, which ignores 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 and said sincerely: "Thank you warrior for saving our people of the Daru tribe."< br>
"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 big surprise.
But after some questioning, they discovered that she was not the "one who kept the oath" as predicted in the prophecy.
And the young man in front of him mentioned Sir Isaac, which brought new hope.
Su Lun nodded and said: "Yes. For some special reasons, I am the disciple of Sir Isaac's wife, Serea."
Now that he has met the leader of the Daru tribe, there is no need for him to hide his identity.
But just hearing him reveal his identity to his family, all the wise men of the Daru tribe in the room showed surprise in their eyes.
What!
Lady Seria’s disciple?
If it is true,
This... this seniority is a bit ridiculously high.
Is this their ancestor?
But how could this young man be the disciple of that lady from a thousand years ago?
Su Lun didn't give them time to guess. He really couldn't explain his generation clearly in a few words. He paused and then said: "I also heard Jutta talk about the ancient oath of the nobles. But I think the person who takes the oath may not be the one who takes the oath." Me."
Before he finished speaking, Juta immediately looked at him in surprise.
The elders also all showed astonished expressions, 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 hope in their eyes that changed for a moment.
He did not 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 Holy Land of Nobles to discuss some matters. A matter of oath."
There are very few people in this world who know Mr. Jing’s identity, and not all members of the Jing organization may know it.
Who would have thought that a character from a thousand years ago would still be alive today?
When Su Lun said this, the whole room was silent.
Originally, when they heard Su Lun say that he was Seria's disciple, they were still dubious. 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 look of shock in their eyes.
For a moment, 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 that the Isaac family will always remember the oath and will defend the friendship with the Daru tribe with their lives."< br>
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 force passing through his body, 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, as if the will of the sacred tree was responding to the oath?
Only then did he realize 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.
"Oath" is the most secret and sacred part among the Daru tribe, 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 Yuta didn't make clear either.
"Is this the response from the sacred tree?!"
"The ancient oath has really come true"
"The great God of nature has not abandoned his devout followers"
"."
The Daru people in the treehouse are more sensitive than Selun.
Apparently they also felt the sudden fluctuation of natural power just now, and they all began to pray excitedly.
After hundreds of years of the darkest time, I thought the night would be silent forever.
At this moment, they suddenly saw the dawn.
Su Lun 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.
The dark clouds were swept away, and my eyes were filled with the 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 it was polite, grateful and respectful.
Now he is as kind and enthusiastic as treating a relative.
Su Lun thought this was good. He had a good impression of the Daru people, and it was good to be treated as a friend.
However, there is still a problem.
Because of the seniority issue, except for the elder Mona of the Deer Clan who is the clan leader, everyone in this room is several generations shorter than Su Lun.
Even though Su Lun refused in every possible way, he 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 personally Come for a visit.”
All the elders of the Daru tribe were delighted when they heard this.
When the promised person appears, the prophecy will be fulfilled.
They have been overwhelmed by bad news recently, but now they finally see hope.
While chatting, the patriarch Mona also dug out a brass prayer tube with cipher text engraved on it 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 oath is made by We witness a restart”
The scroll was 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."
When he looked at the signed signature, his eyes froze slightly.
This was 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 Juta, signed his name and put his fingerprints on it.
On the scroll, the magic light flashed and disappeared.
Originally, he thought it would be more appropriate for Mr. Jing to make the contract.
But when he came here before, he had contacted that senior sister.
Because of the vampire hibernation and relegation, she is still recovering her strength and it will take some time.
In addition to these words, she also specifically told Su Lun that he could make certain decisions on behalf of the Isaac family.
For example: signing an oath.
Mr. Jing did not regard Su Lun as an outsider,
Su Lun himself had 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 other elders left first.
Only Yuta and the three Daru tribesmen, Deer Chief 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?"
Chief Deer looked at Su Lun and asked: "Little Su Lun has some mental problems? Do you mind taking a look?"
"Of course not."
Su Lun handed over his hand.
There was green light in the hands of the Deer Patriarch, and he checked it, his brows furrowed.
Then, he motioned to Granny Wolf beside him to take a look.
They looked at Su Lun with complicated eyes. The kind of surprise when you thought there was a cat in the cage, but then you saw a tiger.
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Su Lun knew that things would not go well.
After finishing the inspection, he asked: "Two elders, is this problem very troublesome?"
"It's really tricky."
The leader of the Deer clan pondered for a moment and said: "This situation should be that little friend Su Lun, you listened to the whispers of a certain dark god. Those high-level information cannot be tolerated by your current cognition, which led to the distortion."
< br>
Speaking of this, the slightly cloudy but wise eyes glanced at Su Lun, "And you used your will to suppress this negative mental force. This caused it to lose control at any time and cause you trouble."
As expected of the leader of the Daru tribe, he hit the mark as soon as he said it.
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 attentive and waited for him to tell him the solution.
Chief Deer said again: "Your willpower is amazing, but this actually exacerbates the problem of distortion."
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded, agreeing with this statement.
He had clearly felt this problem a long time ago, and suppressing it would only make the problem worse.
Just like blocking a flood forever, it can only temporarily suppress it, but it cannot solve the root cause. On the contrary, it will become more serious.
But he had no other better way.
He asked: "Two elders, can this problem be solved?"
The head of the Deer Clan said: "Yes, there is a way."
When Su Lun heard this, he was overjoyed.
I didn't have any hope at first, but I didn't expect to get a positive answer.
The head of the deer clan changed the topic slightly, and then added: "There are two methods, but neither of them can completely solve the problem. We can only try it first."
It’s a good thing to have a way!
Su Lun looked at the old man with a sincere look on his face, "You tell me."
Chief Deer said again: "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 that will also help you. Appeasing those negative mental forces will not completely solve the problem in the long run, but at least it will not let it backfire and endanger lives."
"."
When Su Lun heard this, he frowned slightly.
When he came in before, he clearly felt the feeling of relief, and he had already guessed that the method mentioned by the old patriarch was feasible.
But it would be a pity to hide away in such a wonderful world for the rest of our lives.
Probably guessing what he was thinking, Chief Deer said with a smile: "Friends are always welcome in the holy land of our Daru tribe. However, your young people's aspirations should be in the wonderful world outside. Therefore, you should prefer the second method. .”
Su Lun did not hide his thoughts and said sincerely: "Please enlighten me."
"That is to draw the [Devil-Eating Totem]."
Chief Lu said slowly: "Originally, mental aberration is not a troublesome problem for our Daru tribe. Our tribe has inherited a secret technique of totems. By drawing some special totems, we can carry some abnormal power that the body cannot bear. . It is equivalent to adding an external container to the body to absorb all the negative mental power. However, the source of your problem is a bit special, which means that the totem needs to be of a very high level."
"Totem Secret Technique?"
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.
This is similar to what Mr. Mirror said.
It's not a pity that 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 methods of incomplete totems. I am not sure about solving the problem, but I can draw a totem to temporarily suppress the distortion."
"Suppress it temporarily"
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 met.
In an instant, he thought of it.
An Archdruid of level 7 or above?
Nowadays, the strongest Daru tribe is only at level five, but that 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 Jutta had said.
All the top experts from the Daru tribe died there. Su Lun guessed that the ruins might be the same as the Dawn ruins, a passage from another dimension. Then, the death of a large number of powerful people is very likely to form a "cursed space".
In the cursed space, you might be able to meet the former great druid.
He planned to go find the [Mind Flayer], so he could go and have a look.
If there is really room for a curse, and with his current relationship with the Daru tribe, there will be a lot of room for maneuver
