Chapter 891
"Found it? What did you find? The origin of the scabbard's pattern, or the emblem of Demeter?"
Dark thought so and said it out.
Diana suddenly braked when she ran in front of him and asked in confusion: "What Demeter?"
Dark continued to walk in and said: "[God of Agriculture] Demeter, haven't you investigated the Twelve Gods of Polopos?"
"Hey." Diana stuck out her tongue and said, "I didn't hear it clearly for a while. Anyway, come here quickly, we found a lot of things."
"Isn't it Demeter's emblem? That should be the origin of the scabbard's pattern, right?" Dark thought in his heart and followed Diana. "It's good to find the origin of the scabbard's pattern. At least we can know whose weapon the scabbard belongs to, and whether there was a sword in the scabbard?"
It is unreasonable to have a scabbard without a sword.
And if this scabbard is indeed equipped with a sword, then the sword that can match it may be a higher-level existence than the [Holy Sword]!
...
After a while, Dark walked to a table under the leadership of Diana.
Aurora and Rose were all around this table.
A thick stack of books was placed in one corner of the table, and three books were spread out in the middle.
"Are there any good news?" Dark walked to Aurora and asked.
Aurora raised her head and was about to speak, but Meow Meow, who was standing on the chair next to her, crossed her arms and snorted slightly.
Aurora hurriedly said: "Two of these three books were found by Meow Meow, and you should thank it well."
"Well done!" Dark reached out his hand, rubbed Meow Meow's head, and smiled, "What about the other one?"
Aurora said: "The other one was found by Miss Destroyer."
"[Magic Beast: Destroyer]? Where is it?" Dark asked.
Aurora said, "It went back inside with the goddess of the heart to continue searching."
Dak nodded slightly, then looked at the three books on the table and asked, "What are these three books about?"
Aurora said, "Two are about the patterns on the scabbard, and one is about the emblem on the clothes. By the way, do you have any new discoveries?"
"Of course." Dak said, "That piece of clothing should be related to Demeter, the [God of Agriculture], one of the twelve main gods of Polopos."
"Demeter? Wait a minute." Aurora turned around and took out a book from the pile of books on the table behind her.
Book title: "Praise the Mother Earth Goddess of Harvest"
Aurora said, "Here is a book specifically about Demeter, you can take a look later."
"Okay." Dak nodded in response, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He clearly said that the dress was related to Demeter, why did Aurora have no reaction?
So he asked, "Which one is related to the emblem on the clothes?"
Diana immediately pointed to a book and said, "This one!"
Dak picked up the book from the table and saw a pattern depicted on the opened page at a glance - it was exactly the same as the emblem on the clothes!
"This..."
He turned the book to the cover immediately, and saw that it was written on the cover - "Elves: The Lost Art".
Yes, this is just a book that records various artistic items of the elves that are about to be lost.
From the title alone, it has nothing to do with the so-called emblem.
Using normal logic, it is impossible to find this book from countless books just to find a emblem.
But now this book has been found.
Dak turned back to the page and continued to look at the introduction and description of the emblem in the book.
After a while, he put the book down, full of doubts.
Although the pattern on the book is exactly the same as the emblem of the god, there is no mention of "god" in the content, let alone the [God of Agriculture] Demeter.
It is described in the book as a family emblem left by a certain extinct ancient elf tribe.
Although this description has no direct relationship with Demeter.
But considering that Demeter is the most worshipped god by the elves besides the [Goddess of Hunting], it seems that it is not inconsistent if the elves in ancient times regarded it as a family emblem.
——But this cannot cover up the sense of disharmony that Dak has in his heart.
In order to dispel this sense of disharmony, he picked up the book "Praise the Mother Earth Goddess of Harvest" and quickly flipped through it.
Demeter's authority includes the earth and life, and she is a god with obvious female characteristics, so she has also been called the [Mother Earth Goddess].
After opening the book, you can see that the book is full of a lot of praise for Demeter.
The rest of the content is basically some legends and stories passed down by Demeter, which are naturally positive stories.
It wasn't until he turned to the last page.
Dak finally found what he was looking for - [Demeter's emblem]!
"Sure enough, there is no resemblance at all."
"In this case, it is indeed difficult to convince people to forcefully explain it as a record error caused by the long time ago."
"On the contrary, the records in "Elf: The Lost Art" feel more reliable."
"So what if the records in "Elf: The Lost Art" are correct? The emblem on that dress actually belongs to the ancient elves, not the [Divine Emblem of Demeter]? Is that long dress? Made by ancient elves?”
"In this case, are the elves snooping around the Mountain of Gods related to it?"
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Duck's mind.
"Dak, what are you thinking about?" Aurora raised her head and asked.
Dark put the book down: "I was thinking, since this is a heraldry related to the elves, can we go find an elf and ask?"
Aurora said: "In terms of elves, isn't Professor Sylph a half-elf?"
Dark shook his head and said: "Professor Sylph doesn't seem to be particularly familiar with the elves. But I think I already know who to ask."
Aurora asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Duck said: "Uncle Simmons."
…
The matter of going to Uncle Simmons to get information was put aside for the time being.
Duck then looked at the other two books and asked, "Are these two books about the patterns on the scabbards?"
"Yes." Aurora picked up a book and said, "You can read this first. This is a book introducing orc totems, and it happens to have that pattern in it."
Dak took it and looked at the book cover: "War Totem?"
The totem system of the orcs is unique.
The items that go with it are usually [Totem Pole].
The orcs carve totem patterns on the [Totem Pole], and then pour magical blood or other substances into it, which can cause the [Totem Pole] to release various auras.
Whether they are orc witch doctors and shamans, orc warriors, or even orc architects, they all have a special liking for [Totem Pole].
Beast wizards use the small [Totem Pole] as a magic wand.
Orc warriors use metal [totem poles] as weapons.
Orc architects will erect huge [totem poles] in buildings or tribal territories, which can achieve various effects.
Among them, the war totem is a special totem that requires an orc architect to carve it on a huge totem pole before it can be activated.
However, war totems are not set up in tribal territory, but on battlefields or positions.
The various war auras released by the war totem pole can give orc warriors more powerful power.
Duck quickly found a totem from the "War Totem" that was very similar to the pattern on the scabbard.
That is the most commonly used totem by orcs in war - [War Cry Totem]!
The war cry aura released by the war cry totem can greatly stimulate the blood and morale of the warriors. While enhancing offense and defense, it also makes the warriors fearless of death.
"It's indeed very similar, but isn't it exactly the same?" Dak said after reading it.
Probably because the coat of arms and the divine emblem on the clothes in "Elf: The Lost Art" are exactly the same, Dark's requirements for this have unknowingly increased.
But Aurora just shook her head and said: "Look at this book again."
Dark took the second book and read out the title: "Miscellaneous Talks about Ares, the God of War... Ares, the God of War, one of the twelve gods?"
"Yes." Aurora said with a serious expression, "The emblem of [God of War] Ares is very similar to the pattern on the scabbard."
"Is it just similar?" Dak said, but he already opened the "Miscellaneous Talks of Ares, God of War" in his hand.
As a result, the divine emblem belonging to Ares was depicted on the first page of this book.
——Although the details are slightly different, for some reason, when Dak saw this divine emblem for the first time, he felt that it must be the same thing.
Different from the badges engraved on clothes, the hollow patterns engraved on the scabbard are sometimes added "artistic" for the sake of beauty.
As a result, there will be cases where the pattern on the scabbard is different from its origin.
And this situation is actually not uncommon.
Dak compared the [Warcry Totem] and [The Emblem of Ares, the God of War] with the patterns on the scabbard.
Among them, the difference between the [Warcry Totem] and the scabbard pattern is obviously smaller.
But engraving [War Cry Totem] on the scabbard has no meaning at all.
On the contrary, it is the [divine emblem of Ares, the God of War] that fits the position that the scabbard should have.
Dak looked at it, and suddenly an idea flashed, and he said, "Could it be a matter of inheritance?"
Aurora asked: "What?"
Dark said: "If there is no scabbard in these two books, "Miscellaneous Talks about Ares, the God of War" and "War Totem", just look at the emblem of the God of War Ares and the pattern of the war cry totem, you will get What’s the conclusion?”
Like an ice cream assassin who had been lurking for a long time, Diana suddenly raised her hand and said, "I know! That battle cry totem must have been created based on the emblem of Ares, the God of War!"
Dak agreed: "This probability is very high. Because the war cry totem has its own function, it has been passed down relatively completely. And the emblem of Ares, the God of War... after his death was confirmed, it became just an ordinary pattern. As it has been passed down like this, it has changed year by year, and it has become quite different from the original pattern.”
Diana's eyes lit up and she said, "So, the pattern on the scabbard is the real emblem of Ares, the god of war?"
Dak nodded and said, "It is quite possible. Only the scabbard of the god of war can be so magical."
Perhaps the inheritance system of the hero was created by the [Saint] imitating the ability of the scabbard.
Of course, it is also possible that the god of war Ares imitated the hero system and forged this scabbard.
The cause and effect here should be discussed in terms of time.
...
Dak sat down, while looking through the books again, and asked Rose: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed?"
Rose hurriedly said: "I woke up and just came here."
Dak frowned and said: "How long have you slept?"
Rose said: "Haven't you found the information? Let's have lunch with Diana and the others later, and I'll go back and take a nap."
Aurora said: "Yes. We should take a break too. Let's take a nap together when we get back."
Dak stretched his brows and said helplessly: "After waking up, maybe we can catch up with the end of the duel festival. You can have a good rest, and you don't have to do the next thing... "
Diana said quickly: "No! There is a ceremony arranged by Professor Kazel in the evening, right? This is a good opportunity to learn! We must not miss it!"
Dak didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When did you become so fond of learning?"
Diana immediately said: "Always!"
Dak said helplessly: "Forget it, you can do it yourself."
As he said this, he remembered something and took out the jar of grass element seeds from his schoolbag and said: "By the way, the use of that dress has been found. Professor Sylph named it [Demeter's Skirt]..."
Then, Dark described the research process and results of [Demeter's Skirt] in detail.
