Chapter 409 Mrs. Elk


Chapter 409 Mrs. Elk

Chen Lun knew in his heart that the "Maggie breath" mentioned by Lutina was probably the blessing [natural favor] from the cat god.

He had already upgraded this blessing to the full level, so the other party said that the aura was strong.

Chen Lun followed Lutina on the clean and holy white brick road. The members of the sect passing by on both sides looked peaceful. After seeing the two, they all stopped and bowed.

As a saint, Rutina has no airs. No matter who salutes to her, she will give him a smile and a gentle nod.

Behind them were Priest Olga riding an elk and several groups of sacred tree guards.

The group of people was heading towards the "Temple".

"Have you met Sister Maggie?"

Lutina turned her head slightly and asked Chen Lun softly.

"Fortunate to have met once..."

he replied.

Although I didn't see the other person's true face with my own eyes, the cat god Maggie possessed Bib that time, which can be regarded as a different kind of encounter.

"Then do you know what's going on with Him? It's been twenty years since I last met Sister Maggie...I miss Him a little."

Rutina's tone was slightly melancholy.

"I heard that He was painstakingly planning a big thing for the one he loved. He went to the dream world many times and even fought against Ms. Sigh..."

Chen Lun was a little surprised when he heard about this for the first time.

Maggie, the Cat God, actually fought with the Sighing Lady among the Three Ladies of Pain?

He shook his head and replied:

"I haven't received a response from Majesty Maggie for a long time..."

This is telling the truth.

Since the Murder Club became the Orthodox Church, he has tried to contact Philip and Maggie, but they both seemed to have disappeared and there was no news.

This also made Chen Lun depressed for a while. After all, the two of them were his important connections and help. If he could get their help, he would be more confident in doing many things.

"That's such a pity..."

Rutina sighed softly.

Everyone has now arrived in the temple.

Located at the foot of the sacred tree, this large-scale building is made of white stone bricks and has some exquisite murals of animals painted on the exterior walls. The sixteen huge wooden stakes that serve as the pillars of the temple are ivory white and covered with spiral patterns, giving it a rather epic feel.

Chen Lun sat in the guest seat under the guidance of a green-robed maid.

Noah and Anton were positioned next to him.

Also sitting down at the same time were Priest Olga and Holy Tree Guard Captain Gloria.

"Please, this is the 'Fausto Tea' unique to Coleridge Forest. It tastes sweet and rich... Mrs. Elk especially likes it. I hope you will like it too."

Lutina raised her hand to signal, and the maid in green robe brought hot tea to Chen Lun's hand.

Chen Lun thanked him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

The taste is indeed as Rutina said, extremely delicious.

"Jack, the destination of your trip is the Augusta Mountains?"

Rutina asked softly.

"Yes, I came here to deliver a letter for a friend."

Chen Lun put down the teacup and said.

Rutina thought for a moment and smiled.

"Hmm... The Augusta Mountains are inaccessible, and the only one I can think of is Frederic Hermit of Meteor Tower."

"It is this great magician..."

Chen Lun did not deny it and directly stated his purpose.

Rutina shook her head.

"If you want to send the letter to Him, I'm afraid it will be difficult... The Hermit Frederic has been studying magic in seclusion for many years and almost never sees anyone. Even if Mrs. Elk comes to visit, she rarely has the chance to see Him. .”

Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that the difficulty of this task was actually because the other party was rare to see.

But Lutina changed the subject and said with relief:

"However, as a high-ranking member of the magic sect, Hermit Frederic is also extremely good at divination. Perhaps he has already learned of your arrival at this moment... If he wants to see you, you will definitely see him during this trip."< br>


Chen Lun heard the subtext.

That is, whether this task can be completed depends on Frederic's wishes.

If he didn't want to see him, then this trip would probably be in vain.

Chen Lun only hopes that the great magician knows his purpose and still retains his feelings for his student Carmen...

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Your Majesty Lutina."

Chen Lun thanked the saint.

Immediately afterwards, Rutina looked at the bespectacled boy Noah next to him.

"Young man, can you show me some of your previous paintings?"

Noah looked surprised.

He quickly remembered that he had promised the guide girl Lutina yesterday to show her his paintings to appreciate, but because the rats came suddenly at that time, he could not fulfill his promise.

Now this saint of the Natural Sect is obviously talking about this.

"Sorry, I forgot..."

Noah stood up and said a little embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late."

Rutina smiled kindly.

Noah blushed slightly, and after consulting Chen Lun with his eyes, he took out the work he had completed in the forest from his painting bag. He handed the painting to the green-robed maid beside him, and she delivered it to Lutina.

Chen Lun took the opportunity to glance at it. There were three paintings by Noah, namely "Crowd of Rats", "Hunter's Cabin" and "Forest Night Scene". With Chen Lun's level of appreciation, he couldn't tell its value. He just thought it was very realistic, even more textured than a photo.

"I can see that you don't have much experience in static landscape painting. Although the painting is realistic, it lacks details that can move people's hearts..."

Rutina looked at the painting in her hand and commented with a smile.

He then spoke:

"But I appreciate your passion for painting. It always reminds me of an old friend, Clarenco... Are you interested in being my painting student, Noah?"

"Be your student?!"

Noah was very surprised.

Even Chen Lun on the side couldn't help but be slightly startled.

But what surprised him more was the old friend "Clarenzo" mentioned by Rutina. It sounds like the relationship between the two is very familiar.

"Yes."

Rutina smiled.

He raised his slender hand slightly and pointed around.

"Actually, what I am best at is painting... Most of the murals preserved by the Natural Sect were painted by me myself, as well as the famous paintings in history that you have heard of, such as "Holy Tree", "Chasing Birds" and "The Great "The Cat God" and so on, are all made by me. ”

Chen Lun had not heard of the paintings Lutina was talking about, but he saw Noah's eyes shining at the side, knowing that these were obviously incredible masterpieces.

"When Clarence was young, he often discussed paintings with me... It's a pity..."

He shook his head and said nothing.

From the simple words, it can be heard that the relationship between Rutina and Clarenzo is very good, like friends.

Chen Lun knew what Lutina's last sigh of "pity" meant... because Clarenzo had gone crazy, was contaminated by the dream world and went crazy, hiding under the abyss of the Crystal Mountains.

This is a glimpse of the truth from fairyland.

Hearing Rutina's words, Noah's face showed a look of joy.

Except for his mother who hired a painting teacher for him when he was young, he has been exploring on his own since he grew up...Now that he has reached the bottleneck of his skills, Noah is eager to have a guide who can guide and inspire him. .

The holy lady in front of me is obviously a very good teacher!

But he quickly thought of something and looked regretful.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your attention... I am really eager to learn painting from you, but after all, I am Mr. Jack's subordinate and cannot stay here forever."

Noah took a deep breath and chose to decline.

Everyone present was quite surprised. They did not expect that this young man would give up such an opportunity.

You must know that the Holy Maiden is a [Sequence Three]!

Being His student is not just as simple as learning painting...

This is still a close relationship!

Chen Lun was surprised by Noah's choice, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. But he didn't want Noah to give up such an opportunity because of him.

Just when he was planning to persuade Noah to study here for a while and then return to the royal city to join the team in the future, Lutina took the lead and chuckled:

"You don't have to stay here forever... I will go to the Royal City in a few days. You can travel there with me. In fact, although I am a saint, I don't actually stay in the Coleridge Forest every day. Tourmaline Ke Lost is my main area of ​​activity.”

"So that's it..."

Noah's eyes lit up.

He immediately looked at Chen Lun, his eyes full of expectation.

When Chen Lun saw this, he couldn't help but chuckle and explain to Lutina:

"Your Majesty the Holy Maiden, it just so happens that we will go to the royal city after delivering the letter."

He immediately nodded to Noah again.

"Noah, don't refuse His Majesty Lutina's kindness. You can take this opportunity to learn from Him."

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Noah smiled, and then bowed respectfully to Rutina.

"Teacher Lutina, I am honored to be your painting student!"

Everyone chatted for a while.

When Lutina saw that it was almost time, she spoke to Captain Gloria:

"I have delayed Mrs. Elk a lot of time. Please take Mr. Jack to the 'Heart of the Sacred Tree'."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Maiden."

The white-haired woman stood up from her chair, saluted and said.

She then looked at Chen Lun and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please follow me, Mr. Jack."

"Thank you for your help, Captain Glorian."

Seeing this, Chen Lun also stood up and left.

He asked Noah and Anton to stay in the church, while he followed Gloria away.

Glorian only brought a team of holy tree guards, and led Chen Lun to circle up from the roots of the huge holy tree, along the naturally formed steps, and climbed to the main body of the holy tree.

The sacred tree looked quite majestic from a distance, but it wasn't until he climbed it in person that Chen Lun realized that he had underestimated its size... The feeling of walking on it was no less than strolling on a spacious city square, and every step he took was , all fall on the thick trees, the touch is very special.

After climbing the holy tree for nearly twenty minutes, Chen Lun followed Gloria to a huge stone and wood hall... Standing on the edge of the huge branches and looking out, he could even see thin clouds floating in the air in front of him.

Looking down, countless densely packed mushroom houses and tree houses are like sesame seeds. Even the holy church has become extremely small... This is already the middle part of the holy tree, thousands of meters above the ground.

"The Elk Lady is in there."

Gloria stopped in front of the main hall, turned back and said to Chen Lun.

"We can't enter at will, so you can only go in by yourself."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Lun nodded and thanked him.

Glorian nodded slightly and directed the sacred tree guards to stand at the edge of the hall and wait.

Chen Lun glanced at them, then strode forward. He just raised his hand, ready to knock on the wooden door... But unexpectedly, the ten-meter-high door in front of him was like a living thing, turning into countless roots on its own, squirming. Open.

He knew in his heart that Mrs. Elk must have known of his arrival.

Chen Lun took a deep breath, pulled up the brim of his hat, and walked in.

The interior of the natural sect hall named "Heart of the Sacred Tree" is not dark. The dome is covered with golden spherical mushrooms, emitting bright light.

Deep in the empty hall is a throne woven with green vines.

Lying on the throne was a woman whose face could not be seen clearly. Under the throne was an extremely huge elk... Compared to Priest Olga's mount, this elk was several times larger and its aura was stronger. .

Chen Lun could feel a strong threat just from its aura. It was obviously a mythical creature level existence!

The elk lay on the ground and slept with his eyes closed, while the woman on the throne lazily turned sideways, holding her chin up and looking at Chen Lun.

"Nice to meet you, Jack Spate, favored by the cat god."

Chen Lun did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the other person, but lowered his head and replied respectfully:

"Seen Mrs. Elk."

"Yeah."

Mrs. Elk responded lightly.

His eyes wandered back and forth on Chen Lun. After a while, he continued:

"It seems that Maggie values ​​you very much... In this case, I should also show it."

Mrs. Elk raised her finger slightly, and the ground in front of Chen Lun sprouted countless roots, forming a simple table.

There are three things placed on it.

A dried seed, a square piece of gravel and a letter.

"The seeds and stones are gifts for you, and the letter needs you to help me deliver it to the Meteor Tower to Frederic."

Mrs. Elk spoke concisely and concisely.

Chen Lun suddenly understood.

The other party asked him to deliver the letter, but in fact he was helping him... because it indirectly increased his "importance". After arriving at the Meteor Tower, Fredrick would have a greater chance of seeing him.

Chen Lun secretly speculated on Mrs. Elk's intentions, and at the same time silently accepted the kindness.

"Thank you for your gift. I will send the letter to the Meteor Tower as soon as possible."

He touched the breasts of the woman on the throne, saluted, and said respectfully.

Immediately, Chen Lun first put away the letters on the table properly, and then picked up the seeds and gravel. A prompt box pops up on the panel. The former is a high-level token of the Nature Sect, and the latter is one of the main parts of the "Monument of Destiny"!

‘Before I was in Peacock City, I obtained several fragments of the Monument of Destiny from the Simon Family Museum. My intuition told me that it is very important, but it is very difficult to collect the complete stone monument... I didn’t expect to get such a big piece here. ’

The fragment of the stone tablet in Chen Lun's hand was as big as two heads, and there were many words recorded on it, which made him very happy.

He made some calculations in his mind, and found that the total fragments of the Monument of Destiny on hand now should be close to half the original size... and it should not be far away from getting the entire monument together.

But he had no way of knowing where the remaining fragments were. Even divination had little effect... It seemed that the monument itself had strong mysterious resistance and could block the divination induction.

Chen Lun planned to wait until he was promoted to a high position before trying to use divination to find it.

When he put the seed in his palm and looked at it, something unexpected happened.

The dry seeds suddenly glowed with vitality and suddenly penetrated into his palm.

Chen Lun only felt a slight sting in his palm, and soon a bud grew out of his palm.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you... This is the highest-level token of the Nature Sect. It is rare in quantity because it was born on the holy tree and can establish a mysterious connection with the holy tree."

Mrs. Elk saw Chen Lun frowning slightly and explained calmly.

Chen Lun raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Elk in surprise, then calmed down and felt the message from the buds on his palm.

[You have established a bond with the "Holy Tree", and Elk Lady Aisha's favorability towards you has increased! Currently friendly! 】

[Mother Nature Mia Mavis pays attention to you, and her favorability towards you will increase! Currently friendly! 】

[You have obtained the honorable name of Mia Mavis, the Mother Nature Goddess! 】

‘You are the mother of all living things, giving birth to countless holy trees.

You are the essence of life, the original starting point of all living things.

You are the pillar of the world, the great tree god Mia Mavis...’ (End of this chapter)
