Chapter 259 Devil Devouring Totem
Su Lun followed Elder Pasu through the dense forest 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 trunk exceeds thirty meters, the leaves are lush, and the canopy is towering. A tree is like a green island with chirping birds.
During the flowering period, there are wicker-like branches hanging from the branches, and there are clusters of small white flowers hanging on them. The breeze blows, and white petals are scattered all over the sky, like falling snow.
There is a tree hole at the bottom of the trunk, where there are three layers of "gate"-shaped stone shelves.
The moss-covered stone frame is carved with simple and simple patterns, which makes people feel a sense of sacredness and solemnity in their hearts.
When Pasu and Yuta came to the giant tree, they clasped their hands together and prayed solemnly.
After praying, Youta introduced to Su Lun: "This is the sacred tree of our Dalu tribe. It is as old as the holy land. According to the ancestors, the sacred tree was once blessed by the great God of Nature. pass."
Su Lun also looked sideways slightly when he heard it. This tree is really different from others, giving people a feeling of spirituality.
The branches are fluttering, as if to welcome him as a guest.
Uta said again: "Let's go, the patriarch and the others are inside."
Su Lun nodded and followed into the tree hole.
When I went in, I found that there was something wrong.
The space of the tree hole is larger than it looks 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 floors high. The walls are filled with dense medicine cabinets, and the shelves are full of various herbs. There are also many dried medicinal herbs 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 the chairs.
Judging by the faces, they are all very old.
These are the elders of the Dalu tribe.
"Only two fifth steps?"
Su Lun sensed the fire of these people's souls, and clearly discerned that there were two fifth-orders among them.
One of them is an old deer tribe man with a long beard under his forehead on the main seat.
The antlers on his head are huge, half the size of his body. With an unruffled demeanor, he looked like a wise man, probably the patriarch Mona.
Next to him is an old woman with gray wolf ears, which should be the "grandmother wolf" that Yuta often mentions timidly.
No wonder the Dalu tribe is so weak, there are only two fifth-orders in the tribe, and they are all very old.
What caught Su Lun's attention was that in the most conspicuous place in the room, a broken spear was enshrined.
The pupil of omniscience took a look, only to realize that there was a lot going on.
【Spear Brionac Spear (Damaged)】
Detailed Explanation: One of the four sacred weapons of the Dalu tribe, a magical weapon bestowed by the God of Nature; in its complete state, it can be projected over a long distance, ignoring obstacles and defenses, and piercing any law level within the user's perception range that is not higher than the law of the spear Items with extra law 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?"
A thought flashed across Su Lun's mind.
The function looks somewhat similar to his black sickle, ignoring the target defense that does not exceed the weapon law.
Even the level of law contained in this divine spear may be higher.
It is indeed a big killer, but unfortunately it is incomplete.
Su Lun didn't look too much.
Although this spear has no side effects, it has restrictions on its use.
This is the exclusive artifact of the Dalu tribe.
As soon as Su Lun came in, Elder Pasu introduced, "This is Mr. Su Lun."
The elders of the Dalu tribe obviously already knew the origin and purpose of Su Lun. Needless to say, everyone stood up in unison and said sincerely, "Thank you warriors for saving our Dalu tribe."
"You elders are polite."
Su Lun responded politely.
At this time, the patriarch Mona fought, coughed twice, and went straight to the topic: "I heard from Elder Pasu that Mr. Su Lun is the successor of Sir Isaac?"
With that said, everyone in the room looked at Su Lun expectantly.
No one knows better than these elders what the "vow" made thousands of years ago means to their Dalu people.
The "warrior" who came yesterday brought back the holy artifact, which was a big surprise.
But after some inquiry, they found that she was not the "person who kept the oath" 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 a disciple of Sir Isaac's wife Saria."
Now that he has met the patriarch of the Dalu tribe, there is no need for him to conceal his identity.
But just hearing him tell his identity at home, all the wise men of the Dalu tribe in the room were shocked.
What!
Lady Saria's disciple?
If it's true,
This... This seniority is a bit ridiculously high.
This is their ancestors?
But how could this young man be the disciple of that lady a thousand years ago?
Su Lun didn't give them time to guess wildly. His seniority was indeed unclear in a few words, so he paused and said: "I also heard Juta talk about the ancient oath of nobles. But I think the person who took the oath may not be I."
Before he finished speaking, Yuta immediately gave him a surprised look.
Those elders also all showed astonished expressions, fearing that their expectations would be in vain again.
Probably the pressure of extermination made these old people breathless, and Su Lun also saw the strong hope from their changing eyes.
He didn't go around the corner, and said directly: "My senior sister, Miss Ophelia Faye Isaac, Sir Isaac's own daughter, is still alive. She also entrusted me to come to the holy place of the nobility to discuss some matters A matter of oath."
There are very few people in this world who know the identity of Mr. Mirror, not all members of the Mirror organization know.
Who would have thought that a character from a thousand years ago is still alive now?
When Su Lun said this, the whole room was silent.
When they heard that Su Lun said that he was Seriya's disciple, they were still dubious. Although they wouldn't doubt a warrior who had saved their people, those words were unbelievable to anyone who heard them.
But now, he actually said that Sir Isaac's own daughter is still alive?
The news was like a blockbuster, causing a storm in everyone's hearts.
A group of calm wise men couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.
For a moment, needles could be heard in the huge tree house.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to interface.
Seeing that they were silent, Su Lun relayed 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 people with their lives."
He didn't expect that when these words came out, it seemed to touch some hidden restriction.
Su Lun suddenly felt a force passing over him, which made him feel refreshed, and he sighed in his heart: "That was the force of nature just now?"
He looked at the room, as if it was the will of the sacred tree to respond to the oath?
Only then did he realize that the oath made thousands of years ago seemed not that simple.
Su Lun thought it was something like a "covenant contract", but he didn't expect that some kind of very high-level law power was involved in it.
"Oath" is the most secretive and sacred part of the Daru people, and even their source of strength.
It is said that when the gods grant them natural supernatural powers, the warriors of the Dalu tribe will impose restrictions on themselves, which is a kind of "vow". If you obey, you will benefit, if you disobey, you will suffer.
This is something Uta didn't make clear.
"This is... the Divine Tree responded?!"
"The ancient oath has really been fulfilled."
"The great god of nature has not abandoned his devout followers"
"."
The Daru people in the tree house are more sensitive than Su Lun.
Apparently, they also felt the sudden fluctuation of natural force just now, and they began to pray excitedly one by one.
After hundreds of years of the darkest time, it was thought that the night was forever silent.
At this moment, they suddenly saw the dawn of dawn.
Su Lun saw the pious and excited tears in the eyes of Uta and these Dalu elders, and he could empathize with them in his heart.
The dark clouds were swept away, and the eyes were full of hope.
After a long while, after praying, the elders of the Dalu tribe looked at Su Lun again, and immediately changed.
It used to be polite, grateful, and respectful.
Now it is as cordial and warm as treating a loved one.
Su Lun thought it was good. He had a good impression of the Daru people, and it was good to be regarded as friends.
However, there is another problem.
Because of seniority, everyone in this room is several generations younger than Su Lun, except for the deer clan elder Mona who is the patriarch.
Even though Su Lun refused in every possible way, he was invited to the main seat and sat next to the patriarch.
Now the sacred tree has recognized Su Lun, and no one has any doubts.
Everyone seemed very excited, talking a lot, asking questions about the oath and the heirs of the Isaac family.
But Su Lun didn't know much himself, so he could only say truthfully: "I don't know much about the oath. Ms. Ophelia is still recovering from retreat due to some physical reasons. After a while, she will personally Come on."
All the elders of the Dalu tribe were delighted to hear this.
When the person who fulfills the covenant appears, the prophecy will be fulfilled.
They have been overwhelmed by successive bad news recently, and now they finally see hope.
Chatting and chatting, the patriarch Mona also dug out a brass prayer wheel engraved with ciphertext from a wooden box in the tree house.
In the eyes of everyone, he opened it and took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll, and said solemnly to Su Lun: "This is the scroll of the oath passed down from our family. Now that the successor of the Isaac family has arrived, this oath is made by We witness the restart"
The scroll was spread out in a ritualistic manner, and the people in the room looked solemn.
Su Lun saw a few simple words in the contract, which roughly read, "The friendship between humans and the Daru will last forever."
And looking at the signed signature again, his eyes froze slightly.
This is the name signed by the demigod himself a thousand years ago.
Just seeing those few words, a strong sense of history and responsibility rushed to my face.
Su Lun took the quill pen that Uta handed over, signed his name, and put his fingerprint on it.
On the scroll, the magic light flashed and disappeared.
Originally, he thought that this contract should be more suitable for Mr. Jing.
But when he came here before, he had contacted that senior sister.
Because of the dormancy and relegation of the blood race, she is still recovering her strength and it will take some time.
In addition to bringing 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 didn't treat Su Lun as an outsider,
Su Lun himself had nothing to worry about.
He was originally the heir of the Isaac family, and it was only natural for him to follow the oath.
After the oath was signed, the other elders left first.
Only Uta was left in the wooden house, as well as the three Dalu people, the head of the deer patriarch Mona and the wolf mother-in-law.
Su Lun has a little personal matter.
He said it directly: "Apart from the contract matter, there is also a private matter that needs to trouble the two elders. I would like to ask, does the nobleman have a solution to the distortion of mental power?"
The deer patriarch looked at Su Lun and asked, "Little friend Su Lun has some problems with his mental strength? Do you mind if I take a look?"
"of course not."
Su Lun passed her hand over.
With a green light in his hand, Patriarch Lu checked it out and frowned.
Then, he motioned to the wolf mother-in-law at the side to take a look.
They looked at Su Lun with complicated eyes. The kind of surprise that I thought there was a cat in the cage, but saw a tiger instead.
Su Lun saw that the faces of the two were not very good-looking, and he knew that things would not go well.
After checking, he asked, "Two elders, is this problem troublesome?"
"It's really tricky."
The deer patriarch pondered for a moment, and said: "This situation should be that you, Su Lun, have listened to the whispers of a certain dark god. The high-level information is because your current cognition can't bear it, which led to the distortion."
Speaking of this, the slightly cloudy but wise eyes glanced at Su Lun, "And you used your will to suppress this negative mental power. This makes it lose control at any time and cause you trouble."
As expected of the patriarch of the Dalu clan, he made a point as soon as he said it.
The Dalu people believe in gods, and they have had close contact with the gods. So in some ways, they understand the power of the gods better than alchemists.
Su Lun listened attentively, waiting for him to give a solution.
The deer patriarch said again: "Your willpower is amazing, but this actually exacerbates the problem of distortion."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded, agreeing with this statement.
He has clearly felt this problem a long time ago, and suppressing it will only make the problem worse.
It's like blocking the flood forever, which can only be temporarily suppressed, but it can't solve the root cause, but it will become more serious.
But he has no other better way.
He asked: "Two elders, can this problem be solved?"
The deer patriarch said: "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 deer patriarch changed the subject slightly, and then added: "There are two methods, but neither of them can completely solve the problem. We can only try it first."
It is a good thing to have a way!
Su Lun looked at the old man with a sincere look on his face, "Speak."
The patriarch deer said again: "The first method is that you stay in the holy land. There is the protection of the god of nature here, which will suppress the influence of hearing the whispers of the dark god. There is also a strong natural force, which will also help you To appease those negative mental powers, in the long run, let alone completely solve the problem, at least it will not let it backlash and endanger life.”
"."
When Su Lun heard this, he frowned slightly.
When he came in before, he obviously felt the feeling of relief, and he had already guessed that the method that the old patriarch said was feasible.
But after seeing such a wonderful world, it would be a pity to live in a corner and hide for a lifetime.
Probably guessing what he was thinking, the deer patriarch smiled and said: "The holy land of our Dalu tribe always welcomes friends. However, you young people should aspire to live in a wonderful world outside. Therefore, you should be more interested in the second method .”
Su Lun didn't hide his thoughts, and said sincerely, "Please enlighten me."
"That is to draw [Demon Devouring Totem]."
The deer patriarch said slowly: "Psychic distortion is not too troublesome for our Dalu tribe. Our tribe has inherited a totem secret technique. By drawing some special totems, it can carry some abnormal power that the main body cannot bear. It is equivalent to adding an external container to the body to absorb all the negative spiritual power. However, your question is a bit special and whispers that the source comes from the dark gods, which means that the totem needs to be of a very high level."
"Totem secret technique?"
Su Lun heard some knowledge beyond cognition.
Listening to this tone, it seems that it is possible, but it seems that it is not possible.
The deer patriarch said: "As you can see, the inheritance of our Daru tribe is broken. The kind of totem that can perfectly solve your spiritual distortion can only be drawn perfectly by an archdruid of at least seventh rank or higher."
A thought flashed across Su Lun's eyes as he listened.
This is similar to what Mr. Mirror said.
I don't think it's a pity that the old patriarch can say this method, obviously there are some alternative methods that are feasible.
If not, the deer patriarch said again: "The clan has passed down some incomplete totem secrets. I am not sure how to solve the problem, but I can draw a totem to temporarily suppress the distortion."
"Temporary suppression"
When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts in his mind were digesting those words, and other thoughts flew around.
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 the conditions meet.
In an instant, he thought of it.
Archdruid above rank seven?
Now the strongest Dalu tribe is only at the fifth level, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist before!
A thought flashed through Su Lun's mind.
He thought of the ancient ruins of the "valley of the curse" north of the forest that Utta had spoken of.
All the top experts of the Dalu tribe died there. Su Lun guessed that the ruins, like the ruins of dawn, were a channel from another plane. Then, the fall of a large number of strong people is very likely to form a "cursed space".
In the cursed space, maybe you can meet the former Archdruid.
He planned to go to the [Mind Flayer], just in time to have a look.
If there is room for curses, and with the current relationship between him and the Daru tribe, there will be a lot of room for maneuvering
