Chapter 408 Saint
At dawn, Chen Lun had already left with Noah and Anton for a long time.
The Tamara rat-men attacked last night, but he actually didn't take action personally, because there was no profit in killing such rat-men, so it would be better to let Noah and Anton increase their mysterious accumulation.
There are many rats in the group, but the strength of the individuals is at the level of human teenagers at best. Even if they have sharp claws and fangs, or even hold weapons, they are not enough to look at in front of one person and one cow.
The battle only lasted for tens of minutes, and those crazy rat people were slaughtered by Noah and Anton.
When leaving, Chen Lun also passed by the Fountain of Youth, but he found that the spring water had disappeared...perhaps as Lutina said, it "grew legs" and ran away.
This made him lament that Coleridge Forest, like the Fairyland Natural Forest, always gave him a weird feeling. As for the men captured by the three gangsters, they had already been swamped by the rats, chewing them until their bones were gone.
Chen Lun didn't care.
"Mr. Jack, this forest is so big."
Noah took advantage of the rest time, stood aside and looked around, and said.
Chen Lun sat on a big rock and looked at the page of paper Lutina left for him.
Hearing Noah's words, he chuckled and nodded.
"It's very big. The Coleridge Forest covers an area equivalent to a large city. If you don't consider the dangers hidden in it, it would take an ordinary person at least several months to go around it."< br>
Chen Lun turned to look at Antonio again.
Cows were circling around a big tree, humming a song.
"Anton, what do you think of the environment of this forest?"
"Don't like..."
Anton stopped, turned to Chen Lun and said.
"There are too many trees, and the grass here tastes weird... I still prefer the prairie, the endless grassland."
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
He then looked at a deep depression on the left, with muddy swamps scattered throughout it, and many dead wood piles standing still... According to Lutina's message, after passing this swamp, you need to change direction, from Originally go northwest to northeast.
The specific principles are not clear. These are the experiences summed up by local people.
Only in this way can we finally reach the Augusta Mountains, otherwise we will get lost in the forest and keep spinning.
Chen Lun took out another exquisite compass and confirmed the northeast according to the direction it pointed.
In fact, the compass is not easy to use in Coleridge Forest, because it often malfunctions, and the pointer keeps jumping, and it is unclear what is disturbing it.
But Chen Lun did not put all his hope in the compass. He then used divination twice to confirm that the direction was correct before continuing to set off with Noah and Anton.
Both of his cadres have excellent physical fitness. Noah is the sixth of the flesh and blood faction and is good at physical fitness, while Anton has the "tireless" extraordinary biological characteristic, so Chen Lun is not worried that they will be tired from the rush. .
"We have to speed up our pace..."
As he walked forward, he turned back and said to the two cadres.
"Well, okay Mr. Jack!"
Noah and Anton nodded in response.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly, stepped on his feet, and shot out like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Noah and Antonio were stunned for a moment, then immediately immersed themselves in the pursuit.
In the lush dense forest, two people and one cow flashed like strange black shadows.
After marching like this all morning.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Lun suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, Mr. Jack?"
Noah's breath was a little short, and he asked Chen Lun doubtfully.
"Someone is coming towards us."
Chen Lun looked forward and said calmly.
Noah frowned slightly.
Anyone?
This forest is so vast, how could someone happen to bump into each other in the depths...
And the other party also knows his own movements?
Noah and Anton stood quietly beside Chen Lun, looking warily at the dense forest ahead.
Shasha...
The fallen leaves made a slight sound when they were trampled by footsteps.
The breeze blew and the trees swayed.
I saw a small group of seven or eight people slowly walking out of the forest, led by a tall elk. They came to Chen Lun and the others. The huge pair of antlers of the elk are like two mini towering trees with countless branches... There are also some small wood carvings and colorful stone handicrafts hanging on them.
'This is an extraordinary creature...'
Chen Lun thought to himself.
The men and women in the team were all low-sequence extraordinary beings. They were dressed in green robes, wearing hoods and grass rings, holding short bows and spears, and carrying quivers on their backs. They looked at Chen Lun and Noah Anton behind him with curiosity.
On the back of the elk, there is an elderly female sitting, covered in a brown cape with patterns painted with white paint.
Chen Lun sensed an extraordinary power from the other party. He calmly used Life Sneak and checked the old woman's panel, and learned that she was a [Natural Faction Sequence 5 - Perfumer].
"Hello, guest from afar."
The old female man spoke slowly.
Her eyes lightly passed over Noah and Anton, and finally settled on Chen Lun, with a faint smile.
"I am the natural sect priest, Olga. Of course, you can also call me 'Julius'. In nature, it means 'mediator'."
"Hello, Priest Olga."
Chen Lun politely supported the black hat and said hello to him.
He did not want to conflict with the Natural Sect, so he said:
"We are just passing through Coleridge Forest and have no intention of intruding into the territory of the Natural Sect... If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"No offense intended... We have never classified Coleridge Forest as sectarian territory. All natural things can thrive here, and I know you have no ill intentions."
Olga said.
She stroked the elk's forehead.
"I came here specially because the 'Elk Lady' wants to see you, Mr. Jack."
"Mrs. Elk..."
Chen Lun was slightly startled.
Of course he knew who the lady Elk mentioned by the other party was... That was the Pope of the Natural Sect. He had been ruling the Natural Sect for thousands of years, and he was an extremely powerful and veteran figure!
"Do you know me?"
he said in surprise.
"Of course."
Olga nodded.
"Although the Nature Sect lives in seclusion deep in the forest, it is not ignorant of the outside world... The empire has been turbulent recently. We also tried to win the seat of the Orthodox Church, but failed. In the end, the Council of Generosity won the throne... Mr. Jack We have long heard that you are one of the ten consuls of the Senate.”
Chen Lun looked at the old man in front of him, thought for a while, and asked tentatively:
"I see... I wonder why Your Majesty Madam Elk wants to see me? I seem to have never had contact with your sect before."
Olga took a deep look at Chen Lun and said slowly:
"Her Majesty the Holy Maiden told Mrs. Elk about your coming to the forest, which aroused her interest... Don't worry, Mr. Jack, we are inviting you in good faith. You can regard this as a visit. We respect your wishes whether you come or not.”
‘Saint? Who is this...’
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He thought for a moment.
He has no grudges against the Natural Sect. If the other party wants to harm him, he can just send people to surround him. After all, this is their territory... If Olga's team comes to contact him, he can see that the other party does have something. Sincerely.
So he nodded and said:
"In that case, please lead the way, Priest Olga."
"You're welcome, you should."
Olga smiled slightly.
She whispered something to the elk again, and the tall elk slowly turned around and took the lead towards the woods.
Chen Lun greeted Noah and Anton and followed closely.
The men and women of the Natural Cult in the team did not communicate aloud. Although they seemed to be very curious about themselves, the whole atmosphere was very quiet, and it could be seen that their discipline was quite good.
After walking like this for about twenty minutes, everyone passed through the woods and came to a lake.
There are many houses and buildings made of wood and stone built in the wide open space, as well as many watchtowers and fences, which seem to be to guard against dangerous creatures in the forest. There were many residents in simple clothes walking through the settlement. When they saw Olga's team returning, they stopped their steps and work and saluted them.
It seems that Olga has a high status here.
"This is a human settlement protected by the Natural Sect. Their ancestors were the former owners of this land... After the Cuisul Empire unified the continent, many subjugated people fled here. Over the past few thousand years, there have been Many descendants have thrived here.”
She turned back and explained to Chen Lun.
"It turns out to be a civilization left over from the previous era."
Chen Lun nodded and sighed.
"This way please."
Olga sat on the elk and led Chen Lun deeper into this secluded settlement.
Until everyone came to a towering tree.
Under this tree, there is a huge tree hole, like a door.
"This hole is connected to the 'Holy Tree Roots' underground and can lead to the headquarters of the Nature Sect..."
Olga led the team into the tree hole and spoke slowly.
Chen Lun knew about the holy tree she was talking about. He heard that it was a living incarnation of the Mother Nature "Ms. Holy Tree". The Natural Sect was established based on the holy tree and has been serving it for generations.
After entering the tree hole, Chen Lun found that the inside was not as dark as he imagined, but rather transparent and bright... because there were countless radiant mushrooms growing on the inner wall of the thick tree roots, which acted as lighting.
Countless roots are entangled here, forming a passage.
After a while.
Chen Lun estimated that he had followed Olga and others down to a place tens of meters deep underground, heading towards an unknown area along the winding tree root passage.
Several dozen minutes passed like this, and the passage gradually went upwards, and then returned to the ground.
Wow!
A blinding white light suddenly appeared.
The crisp chirping of birds came to my ears.
Chen Lun used his "five senses" to avoid the discomfort of his sight and saw a scene that was like a fairyland on earth... The place was extremely spacious, and as far as the eye could see, there were countless houses built of giant mushrooms and tree stumps, row after row.
Flowers, butterflies and many plants I had never seen before were everywhere, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.
Chen Lun felt cheerful after seeing such beautiful scenery.
At the end of many houses, there is an extremely tall tree, soaring into the sky. The highest point is even obscured by clouds... It exudes a faint golden light, a little illusory, and is as thick as a city street. You can even see many wooden houses and pedestrians on the branches.
He knew that it was the "holy tree" served by the Natural Sect!
On the road ahead, there were already several groups of people waiting for a long time.
They are all women, beautiful and slender, wearing slender blue and white robes and carrying exquisite spears. On the helmets of these natural sect guards, you can still see the lines of tree roots, and there is a long blue tassel on the top of their heads.
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. This group of female guards were all mid-level extraordinary beings. According to this standard, compared with other orthodox churches, they were equivalent to the elite extraordinary teams of "Lamp Keepers" and "Executioners".
"The Sacred Tree Guards have met Priest Olga."
This group of heroic women saluted the old woman riding an elk.
The leader, the captain, had an extremely hot figure. She strode forward and took off her helmet, revealing a delicate face. His white hair especially attracted Chen Lun's attention and fell naturally.
"This is the captain of the Holy Tree Guard, Glorian."
Olga introduced to Chen Lun.
This is another [Natural Faction Sequence Five - Perfumer], but it seems to be more focused on melee combat.
"Gloria has met Mr. Jack, and the Natural Sect welcomes you."
The white-haired captain smiled and nodded.
She turned slightly sideways and pointed her hand in a certain direction behind her.
"Before meeting Mrs. Elk, please go to the church and sit down. The Holy Lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who is your saint?"
Chen Lun had always been confused, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"You should have seen me before."
At this time, a familiar female voice came.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a mature and tall young woman walking slowly. The group of sacred tree guards stepped back to make way.
This woman is wearing a white hollow robe, like a backless evening gown. Her long golden hair is naturally scattered, and an emerald green pendant hangs from her left ear.
"Hello, Jack."
The beautiful woman smiled and her voice was very pleasant.
Chen Lun vaguely saw familiar facial features from the other person's face, and couldn't help but raise his brows.
"Rutina...?"
There was some uncertainty in his tone.
Because Rutina looked very childish, but the saint in front of her was obviously much more mature.
"Rutina is the... life I created a long time ago."
The other party thought for a while and said.
"But you can also call me that. After all, I like this name very much."
‘Create life…’
Chen Lun was secretly surprised.
This is definitely not something that ordinary people in high positions can do...
The Saint "Rutina" in front of me is very likely to surpass [Sequence Four]!
"I saw you from her 'eyes'. I'm sorry that I told Mrs. Elk about this without your consent... After all, you are a young man who is valued by Sister Maggie. I think you will definitely There is something unusual about it.”
Rutina said softly.
The "she" in His mouth obviously refers to the girl with golden twin ponytails who is the owner and guide of Baiou Travel Agency.
Chen Lun was very surprised by Lutina's words.
The other party calls Maggie, the cat god, sister...
Could it be said?
Lutina ignored the surprised looks of everyone present, walked directly to Chen Lun, leaned her head and sniffed his chest.
"Well...Sister Maggie's smell is very strong. She is worthy of His favor. Mrs. Elk will definitely like you very much, Jack."
His eyes turned into crescent moons as he smiled softly.
The two sides were very close to each other, and Chen Lun could even smell the rich floral fragrance on Lutina's body. (End of chapter)
