Chapter 257 Emerald Holy Land
Su Lun counted this wave of loot, and in general, he still made a lot of money.
For the strong side, fighting has always been a shortcut to getting rich.
There were hundreds of puppets helping to clean up the battlefield, and the speed was very fast. After a while, he almost put away all the spoils.
While dealing with the traces of the battlefield, he heard a large group of people coming from the village on the distant hillside.
Looking over, it was Uta leading a group of people from the White Deer tribe over.
The leader was an old man with white antlers on his forehead, and the fire of his soul was also the strongest. This was naturally the fourth-rank druid ancient elder.
The old man looked weak and was supported by someone, and freshly crushed herbs were applied to the abdominal wound. When the person walked over, there was still a strong smell of medicine in the air. It looked like he was seriously injured in the previous battle.
This group of people came over, and Uta introduced them formally: "This is Mr. Su Lun, he was the one who repelled the enemy just now."
It is a common language, and only Druids among the Daru tribe can understand it.
The white deer old man looked at Su Lun, with excited and sincere gratitude on his face: "Old man Dagu represents the entire White Deer tribe, thank you warrior for saving your life."
As he spoke, he protected his chest with one hand, and bowed towards Su Lun as a big gift.
The dozens of people behind him also bowed along with him.
In front of the elder, Su Lun naturally didn't dare to be arrogant, and responded politely.
Even if the tribe had just suffered a catastrophe, Su Lun, as a warrior who saved the tribe, was warmly received by the Daru people of the White Deer tribe.
Originally, he planned to spend the night in the forest, but now he lives in the village.
Probably because of the need for population, the old and young in the tribe were not slaughtered by the slave arresters this time.
But even so, the bodies piled up.
The village is full of devastation.
As a guest, Su Lun naturally didn't need to help, as there were enough people in the tribe. The young and strong of the deer tribe are cutting down trees to repair the bombed walls of the village. With thick walls, the old and young can safely clean up the bodies of their relatives, lest the predators in the forest come smelling of blood and meat. The clansman caused secondary damage
Those in the tribe were burned, but Su Lun was still arranged in the best hut, with barbecue and fruit.
The night is fine tonight, the moonlight is like silver.
Su Lun looked at the cottage in front of him, sculpting the puppet in his hand, and his mind occasionally skipped to think about other things.
Utta was right next to him.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
The druid experienced two such desperate scenes in a short period of time, and his mood was very unstable.
She didn't dare to look at the clansmen more, the moonlight poured into those blue crystal eyes, and the waves shone.
After all, she couldn't hold back the embarrassing emotion. She looked at Su Lun, with tears in her eyes, and asked sadly, "Mr. Su Lun, why are human beings so cruel? Obviously, everyone can live in peace."
Su Lun didn't know how to answer.
Thinking about it, he reached out and touched Uta's head, comforting the crying lady of the White Wolf Clan.
Uta threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.
Early the next morning, Su Lun and Juta continued on the road.
The White Deer tribe sent a team of young and strong to escort them for a long distance, and they did not return until the sunset.
The Dalu people are in a very bad situation now in all tribes, big and small.
The arrested slave group found out the location, and next time there will definitely be other slave arrest groups who hear the news.
The Bailu tribe must also migrate.
The Silent Forest is huge, but there are not many places they can choose.
This is already deep in the forest, and if you go back, it will be a holy place.
But there can't accommodate so many tribesmen.
The Dalu people believe in the god of nature, and their life is almost in the most primitive state. Their main food source is hunting and gathering. This way of life also makes it impossible for them to gather in a city like humans.
A hunting area can only support a certain number of people.
When the tribe's population breaks through the upper limit of what a region can support, a part of it has to be allocated to open up new hunting areas and form new tribes.
But now the living space is constantly being compressed, and the population is plummeting. If it continues, the survival of the ethnic group will also be a big problem.
Suren also asked Uta why they didn't migrate farther.
Yuta said that the holy lake has something that the Dalu family must protect.
The journey in the next few days went smoothly.
Uta, as a druid, can understand some languages of birds and beasts. With her leading the way, the two of them avoided some high-level monster-infested and dangerous areas. Although he encountered several attacks, he reached the deepest part of the Silent Forest without any risk.
In the Silent Forest, there are abundant water resources like leaf veins. Although in the frigid Northland, there are also large rivers that do not freeze all year round.
On this day, after the two landed in a mountainous area, they got a small boat, changed from land to water, and drifted eastward along a big river called "Runas River" by the Dalu people.
Rafting on the clear river, the two seemed very leisurely.
Uta was in charge of rowing the boat, while Su Lun was still concentrating on tinkering with his puppet, looking through the classics from time to time.
The two also formed a tacit understanding along the way, chatting occasionally, and Uta would introduce him to those strange creatures in the forest.
Unconsciously, it has been less than half a day on the boat, and Juta suddenly said: "Mr. Su Lun, we are almost there!"
Only then did Su Lun recover from his immersion, and saw a pretty face.
After a few days of traveling, the druid lady's mood gradually recovered, and an innocent smile appeared on her face again.
Youta said with emotion: "Mr. Su Lun, you really worked hard, no wonder you are so powerful."
Su Lun smiled noncommittally, looked around, "Is it coming?"
He saw that the forest around him was no different from before, and he was a little surprised. Is this the legendary "Emerald Holy Land" of the atrium tribe of the Dalu tribe?
It didn't look any different, and I didn't see any other Daru people.
"Um!"
Uta nodded seriously, then turned back and pointed to the direction of the bow, "Where is it over there~"
Only then did Su Lun look past Uta's body and see the river ahead.
"Huh, that's a waterfall?"
His eyesight was good, and he naturally saw that the river suddenly stopped flowing, forming a thin line at the end of his vision.
Listening carefully, the sound of "rumbling" water in my ears gradually became apparent.
Listening to this movement, the drop of the waterfall seems to be not small.
"Well, this is the shortest way!"
Uta looked expectant, "I haven't been to the holy lake for a year or two since I became a druid."
Su Lun looked a little curious, like riding a roller coaster, suddenly came to the highest point, but couldn't see the situation below, no matter what, there was a trace of anticipation due to the unknown.
Seeing that Uta had no intention of docking the boat, he asked, "Are we going to jump off the waterfall?"
Uta nodded, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Su Lun, hold on to me soon~"
"Ah"
Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard the slightly playful words.
He also stood up and looked into the distance.
The waterfall was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster. The roar in my ears was so loud that I couldn't even hear my words clearly.
Approaching the river's break, Su Lun finally saw the shockingly spectacular scenery in front of him, and unconsciously murmured: "It's really the Holy Land of Emeralds!"
The maps that Su Lun bought from the black market and the Adventurer's Union were all adventure maps outside the Silent Forest. He didn't know that there was such an unimaginable wonder in the depths of the forest.
It's like a meteorite falling, and a huge basin was smashed deep in the forest. This is the "Emerald Holy Land".
The Silent Forest is in the Northland, with a cold climate and mostly coniferous forests, such as various fir trees and cold pine. Covered with frost and snow, the main color is gray and white. But under the waterfall, there is a piece of greenery full of vitality and a pleasant climate.
Looking down from the air, it looks like a piece of emerald inlaid on the gray and white earth.
Before Su Lundo could appreciate the scenery in front of him, the boat they were riding on started to fall freely from the waterfall, and they jumped.
Uta grabbed Su Lun's hand, laughed happily, with a carefree and mischievous smile on his face, "Hahahaha Mr. Su Lun, do you know that when I was a child, my favorite thing was jumping waterfalls."
Su Lun smiled slightly, looking at the waterfall with a drop of hundreds of meters, his eyes were also shining with splendor.
Falling freely in the air, I also feel inexplicably happy in my heart.
After a few breaths, the two fell into the water with a "plop".
The sound of "gulu" pouring water came into my ears, and the sound of splashing was full of water.
Uta didn't rush out of the water, but led Su Lun to swim far in the water.
After the rapid waterfall water flows into the forest, it quickly becomes calm.
The water is so clear that you can clearly see the underwater world when you open your eyes underwater.
There are swaying aquatic plants in the water, and the roots are clearly visible; the small red fish happily followed the two uninvited guests; the translucent shrimp retreated quickly after being frightened. The light and shadow illuminated the vegetation on the water surface into the water, and the light and shadow Chuo Chuo, too beautiful to behold.
Everything in the eyes is extremely clear.
As Su Lun dived in the water, the joy in his heart became more and more intense.
It seems that the boredom that has been accumulated for countless days is washed away by this clear river at this moment.
Only then did he realize that after traveling to this world, it seemed that he had never observed and experienced the beauty of nature so carefully before.
At this moment, thousands of pores are comfortable.
Su Lun tilted his head slightly, looking at a pretty face with a bright smile.
Utta pointed to the water.
The two of them got out of the water and landed on the shore.
This is a deep and quiet forest, with chirping birds in my ears and the fragrance of flowers in my nose. Like a forest path in summer, the shadows of the trees on the ground are mottled, the temperature is just right, warm, and there is a breeze blowing.
The stone slabs covered with moss are under the feet, spreading all the way to the depths of the dense forest. There are also two quaint stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns on the side of the road, which look like the torii in front of the Japanese shrine in Su Lun's previous life. In the imperceptible mound next to the stone pillar, there are several clay pots for sacrificial offerings. It looks like it is a little old, and the years have left mottled marks on it.
Su Rendo took a look.
The alchemy runes are very different from the Daru's restraint system, but he can also see that the engravings on the stone pillar contain some kind of high-level power of law.
Seeing that he was interested, Uta introduced: "That is the 'sacrifice pillar', which is specially built to protect the residence of the elves in this forest. It can ward off disasters and pray for blessings. It is also an enchantment for the gods to protect our Dalu people. It will Stop all those who are malicious to our Dalu people."
After a pause, she greeted, "Let's go, Mr. Su Lun."
"Um."
Su Lundo glanced at it, thoughtfully, and followed him up.
Passing through those two stone pillars, as if passing through an invisible barrier, he vaguely sensed something. But before he had time to think about it, a few demihumans wearing animal skins suddenly appeared on the tree without taking a few steps.
Several people were condescending, saw who was coming, and shouted excitedly: "Sister Youta!"
Uta obviously knew them too, and greeted them cheerfully: "Kora, it's your patrol today."
"Well! Sister Uta, why did you come to the Holy Land?"
The one named Cora is a girl from the Rabbit Clan. She looks young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was holding a bow and arrow, and she had a quiver pinned to her back, as if she was on patrol. And beside her were several Dalu teenagers and girls of the same age.
Several people jumped down, and they also saw Su Lun, a human being, and everyone's eyes immediately showed caution and vigilance.
Cora asked: "Sister Uta, why did you bring a human into the Holy Land?"
Uta introduced: "This is Mr. Su Lun. He is my savior and the benefactor of our Dalu tribe"
Even so, the guarded eyes of several half-grown children looked at Su Lun, and they talked in a hurry.
"Recently, a lot of slave catchers have come to the forest. The 'Green Tiger Tribe' and the 'Black Bear Tribe' in the north were attacked by those hateful humans, and many tribesmen died."
"Yeah, Sister Uta, humans are not trustworthy. Recently, humans have been serving them, and they have tried to reach the outskirts of the Holy Land."
"I heard that some humans are planning to attack the ruins of the 'Cursed Valley', and the patriarch specifically asked us to patrol carefully."
"."
Su Lun was on the side, listening to Uta and this group of small patrols communicating in Dalu, but did not understand a few words.
But you can tell by looking at the eyes that these little kids don't seem to welcome humans into the cave.
Juta heard some of the bad news, and knew what they were worried about, and explained patiently: "Mr. Su Lun is different, he is the 'warrior of prophecy'."
Hearing this, Cora was surprised and said, "Huh? Another prophesied warrior came? But, one already came yesterday. The elders were very happy, and even called everyone to welcome that human being."
Upon hearing this, Uta frowned, and immediately asked, "Did a human come yesterday?"
"yes."
Cora said: "That human saved the 'Frost Fox Tribe' during the siege of the slave catchers, and brought back the holy object. The elders all said that she was the warrior in the prophecy."
Having said that, she looked at Su Lun suspiciously again, and said worriedly: "Sister Yuta, don't be fooled by this human being. The adults say that human beings are very cunning and can lie better than foxes." .”
Hearing this, Uta was shocked immediately, "That human also brought back the holy object?"
"Um!"
Cora nodded seriously, and responded excitedly, "It's [Spear Brionac Spear]. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday!"
Hearing this, Yuta was really surprised.
She thought that Mr. Su Lun next to her would be the prophet, but she didn't expect it, it seems?
The prophecy "Warriors who follow the ancient contract will save their people and bring back the holy things" refers to someone else?
But what about the oath?
Mr. Su Lun said that he is the heir of the Isaac family.
For a while, Yuta felt very contradictory and couldn't think of any problem.
However, no matter how you think about it, it is a good thing that the sacred object has been recovered.
Su Lun looked at Youta's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Uta didn't doubt Su Lun at all, and directly translated the previous conversation.
Su Lun also heard it strangely, "Someone came with a holy object?"
As soon as he heard it, he immediately felt that this matter was weird.
The oath back then was signed by Sir Isaac and the ancestors of the Daru tribe. The "warrior who obeyed the oath" in the prophecy most likely refers to Mr. Jing.
Now there is another one, what's the situation?
If it weren't for Su Lun who knew Mr. Jing very well, knowing that Isaac only had two daughters, he would even suspect that there were other descendants in Isaac's line.
So, what the hell is going on now?
He also brought back a holy object, which is more in line with the conditions of the prophecy.
Uta didn't figure it out either, and his face was full of doubts.
However, in her opinion, it doesn't matter whether Su Lun is the "Warrior of Prophecy" or not.
It is a fact that he has saved himself and his clan many times.
She greeted Su Lun and said, "Let's go, Mr. Su Lun, let's go see the patriarch first."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded without thinking about it.
He is here to bring words and cure illnesses. As for the prophesied warrior, it doesn't seem to matter who he is.
The Dalu people have been passed down for countless years, so it is unlikely that they will be deceived.
Perhaps, that "warrior" is really someone else, maybe?
