Chapter 280: The Sacred Relic of the Daru Tribe

It didn't take long for the communicator signal to be sent, and there was a response from Uta.

That Miss Druid is indeed here.

Not long after, Su Lun found Uta in the underground palace.

After asking, Su Lun realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Compared with his own experience of narrowly dying, Uta's experience is like being cheated.

As soon as she came in, she immediately felt the protection and instigation of the ancestors of the Dalu tribe, and then entered the depths of the cursed space unimpeded all the way.

What's even more amazing is that when she was walking, she picked up another "sacred object" by the way.

Then, without any danger, she waited until Su Lun contacted her.

"So, by the way, you picked up the sacred object of your Dalu clan [Dagda's magic pot] outside?"

Su Lun looked at the golden object floating around Uta with a strange expression.

There are indeed many treasures in this cursed space.

But almost every time he got one, he risked his life.

Uta actually "picked up" this kind of treasure so casually?

This magical pot, which looks like an incense burner and a tripod, contains colorful liquids, red, yellow, blue, green. All kinds of elements are mixed together, like a pot of rainbow stewing, very beautiful up.

【Dagda's Magic Cauldron】

Detailed Explanation: One of the four holy weapons of the Dalu tribe, a magical weapon bestowed by the God of Nature; enhance the user's natural element affinity, magic power recovery, and spell penetration to obtain a huge increase; the holder has super elemental magic comprehension, natural barrier protection body; this is a tool to communicate with the gods, and devout believers will sense the existence of the gods; only those with natural powers can drive it;

The identified attributes are exaggerated, allowing people to mobilize almost all elements, which can be regarded as the "artifact" of elemental mages.

However, only the natural power of the Dalu tribe can drive it, and others cannot envy it.

What surprised Su Lun even more was that because of the magic hair pot, the coercion of the druid lady became very strange in his perception, with a feeling of illusory and unpredictable.

"Um."

Yuta nodded timidly.

She looked like a little girl who did something wrong and was afraid of being scolded. She glanced at Su Lun secretly, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su Lun, I shouldn't have kept it from you. But this is the closest ancestor of our Dalu people." For once, I...I can't give up."

When Su Lun heard this, he smiled and shook his head.

The "Four Sacred Relics" do have an extraordinary meaning to the Dalu people, which is related to the inheritance and the survival of the ethnic group.

The ancestors of the Dalu tribe have been looking for holy objects for hundreds of years. The urgency is enough to make them give up their lives.

Naturally, Su Lun could understand Uta's decision.

What's more, he survived thanks to Uta's blessing.

Although this timeline has never had a dialogue through the air, if Uta hadn't come in, the previous "time paradox" might have been a dead end.

"You can tell me straight up next time."

Su Lun knew why Yuta was hiding it from him, so he didn't say anything, and reached out to caress her cheek.

After a pause, he asked again, "Then where are you going now?"

Seeing that Su Lun didn't mean to blame her for causing trouble, Juta blinked and seemed very happy.

She smiled and showed her small fangs, and responded: "I plan to go and see what those humans are doing. The heroic souls of the ancestors left a legacy, and they must not break the seal here."

Hearing this, Su Lun also nodded: "Yes."

Of course he wanted to see it too.

Although he was chased by that sixth-level "beast" Barrett before. But now he is very familiar with this underground palace. It can be said that even if he is pursued again, he is sure to use the terrain to escape.

What's more, with the sacred object in Uta's hand, the combat power is not easy.

Su Lun changed a route and quietly approached the Hall of Valor.

After a long distance, he released the black crow and flew over cautiously.

In the field of vision, poisonous corpses are everywhere in the Hall of Valor, and the poisonous incense burner has disappeared.

It seems that the previous tactics of diverting disasters to the east brought some troubles to the people of the Holy Legion, but not too much.

There are still a hundred people left in that legion.

Su Lun and Youta hid deep in the corridor without going out.

The breaking of the cursed space is coming to an end, and this is beyond what they can stop.

All they have to do is wait for their chance.

"There should be no arms in the coffin. Those guys will be surprised after seeing it."

Su Lun's left eye reflected the scene that the black crow saw. He saw that those people had already opened the rune chains that bound the coffin with a decoder, and they were carefully opening the museum.

He had been in close contact with the black coffin before, and knew what it should be like. Now that I haven't seen the overflowing necromantic energy, I have already determined that the arm is definitely not inside.

Therefore, the cause of the past has indeed led to the effect of the present.

Theoretically, two identical items may appear in the same cursed space.

But only if there is enough energy.

And if the "source of curse" that supports the cursed space like [Hundred-Armed Giant King's Arm] is taken away, it is impossible to have enough curse source to form a second one.

If not.

The sound of "click" and "click" metal friction resounded through the Hall of Valor, and a man in a windbreaker leaned over cautiously.

Then, through the gap, they saw the empty coffin.

Immediately, an unbelievable shout came from the tunnel: "How could it be empty?! The seal is not opened, so how could the contents be gone!"

However, before those people could think about it, the surrounding scene began to collapse.

Those people broke the seal, and the stability of the entire cursed space was broken, and the space naturally collapsed.

Su Lun watched the surrounding environment change. They were also in the underground labyrinth.

But obviously, the roots around it became more luxuriant.

The scene in the cursed space was about five hundred years ago, but now it is the real world. The air is humid and humid, the corridor is broken and collapsed everywhere, and there is thick moss on the stones.

The roots of the five hundred-year-old gray elm tree squeezed and deformed the relic, making it more tightly wrapped.

Not enough, it is a good thing to get out of the dangerous cursed space just now.

Su Lun gazed around, re-examining where they were staying.

The environment has changed, which means that the previously planned escape route is different.

But at this time, Uta's face became very strange, as if he had been shocked by something, and he looked a little out of his wits.

Su Lun thought there was something wrong with her, and asked, "You're like this, Juta?"

Hearing the inquiry, Yuta seemed to have recovered from a fugue.

"Mr. Sullen! I-I."

For a moment, uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on her face, and she said excitedly: "I seem to sense the call of the great God of Nature!"

It has been five hundred years since the Dalu tribe broke their lineage in the first battle, and they have never felt the call of the gods again.

Now, she feels it!

"Feel the call of nature?"

It's not too surprising that Su Lun thought of the information identified before.

He saw that Yuta's eyes were suddenly sparkling, and he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

At least, she risked her life to come, and it finally paid off.

However, being happy is one thing, Su Lun couldn't help looking at the magic hair pot floating beside her.

He felt that Uta's breath at the moment was getting more and more ethereal, like the fourth level, fifth level, and sixth level, and it was getting higher and higher.

"What an exaggeration"

Su Lun smiled and narrowed his eyes, and murmured something in his heart.

This is the difference between an alchemist and a believer in gods.

The source of the alchemist's power depends entirely on himself, and the alchemy equipment and cultivation can only be improved step by step;

And the source of power for believers in gods is mostly from the gods.

The magic spells of believers are more like prayers, expecting the gods to respond. It's like the spells of the Dalu people are "the great god of nature, please grant me the power of XX elements".

If there is no response from the gods, the power of the spell will be very small.

But once you respond, or if you have the blessing of the gods, the power will be hard to say.

Uta sensed the call of the God of Nature, and knelt down on the ground devoutly, chanting some mysterious spells in Daru.

A miraculous scene appeared before his eyes.

From the knotted roots, green light spots like fireflies suddenly appeared one after another, floating around Youta one by one, and then merged into her body.

Gradually, her body surface also emitted soft fluorescence, and a surge of magical power overflowed.

That magic power gradually echoed with the holy object [Dagda's Magic Cauldron] beside her. The magic pot overflowed with colorful luster, and the brilliant colorful ribbons were shining brightly, as if they were alive, lingering around her, and the entire corridor illuminated was lit up.

Su Lun didn't expect such a big movement, so he quickly blocked the fluctuations of the energy overflow around him.

Uta in front of him was shrouded in a green light group, and his momentum was getting higher and higher. Her whole body of clothes turned into stars and dissipated into the air, and the skin of her whole body gradually changed from wheat color to amber translucent state, as if all the dust and impurities had been washed away. That natural force seemed to be washing her scriptures and cutting the marrow.

Su Lun looked at the natural force that obviously did not belong to Uta, and became more curious. He guessed something in his heart: "This is the way of inheritance of the Daru people? It is really a magical way to grant power."

The vision lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the light on Uta's body gradually weakened. Her complexion also slowly returned to its original state.

But those green lights did not completely disappear, but left a mysterious red totem on her skin. On the forehead, on the cheeks, on the chest, on the back, on the lower abdomen. All over the body.

Because of the close relationship, Su Lun didn't have to avoid suspicion.

He looked curiously at the red totem on Uta's naked body.

He has an [eclipse] totem on his body, but compared with this red totem, the gap is too obvious.

"This is a very high-level totem. Seventh level? Eighth level? Ninth level?"

Su Lun pondered for a moment.

Although the systems of runes in Daru's totem secret art and alchemy are different, there are some aspects in common.

He can naturally see that the totem of Uta has a kind of coercion from the cover of the law.

At this time, Uta also opened her eyes suddenly, and an inexplicable majesty like a wolf king radiating from her.

This momentum made Su Lun frown.

But after a while, Uta controlled the leaking breath, and changed back to her original gentle appearance.

She looked at Su Lun excitedly, her voice trembling, "Mr. Su Lun, I...I feel the existence of the great God of Nature!"

"Um."

Su Lun witnessed the whole process, so he naturally guessed that the power might come from a god.

He smiled and nodded, happy for Uta too.

"Our Dalu people have hope!"

Uta couldn't help sharing his joy, spread his hands, and jumped over.

Su Lun put his arms around the warm and delicate body in his arms, and gave her a warm hug.

Uta buried his head in Su Lun's shoulder, wept with joy, and repeated in his mouth: "God has not abandoned our Dalu tribe, I. We Dalu tribe are saved!"

The despair that the entire ethnic group had suppressed for hundreds of years was finally completely released at this moment.

The darkest hour finally passed, and she saw the light of dawn.

Su Lun stroked her smooth back and said lightly, "Well, it will be better in the future."

Utta suddenly felt the call of the God of Nature, which is a great blessing.

However, now is obviously not the time to talk about this.

Just when Uta was still immersed in the joy and excitement, suddenly, a fierce dispute came from the depths of the corridor.

Su Lun has been paying attention to this group of people through the black crow, so he naturally knows what happened.

Lu Ying and those people seem to have some internal conflicts.

The Hall of Valor, a giant in the real world, was buried at several depths, and the nine-pointed star on the ground where the coffin was placed before also turned into a pit that looked like a bottomless pit.

Looking at the black hole, even through the black crow's vision, Su Lun felt a palpitation in his heart.

It seems that the black hole and the underworld together have evil, destruction, and indescribable horrors.

But at this moment, on both sides of the pothole, two groups of people were confronting each other.

On one side are the three men in windbreakers, and on the other side is the Holy Judgment Legion with less than a hundred members.

Barrett, the legion commander whom Su Lun met before, seemed to have changed his mind and planned to stop the cracking of the seal.

"General Barrett, do you know what you are looking for? You are disobeying military orders!"

"No, I'm not trying to prevent the release of the seal here. But after all, the Northern Ice Field is too far away from the imperial capital, and there may be some errors in the information transmission. What I mean is, Her Lady Queen may not know the situation of this ruin. I think , the most appropriate way is to seal up the ruins first, and let me go to the imperial capital to report in person, and then it will not be too late to discover the ruins."

"Hmph! Are you questioning our Military Intelligence Department?"

"No, no, no. Yeager, we are all old friends. You know I didn't question the meaning of your military intelligence department. But I think the matter may involve some factors that we can't control at present, and we should be cautious. .”

"you!"

"."

Seeing the increasingly intense dispute between the two sides, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that what you said before is not completely useless, that Barrett still has a conscience. Otherwise, these guys really want to forcefully break the seal. I really can't get them."

However, things are obviously not that easy.

Those guys from the military intelligence department in windbreakers didn't give up so easily.

The guy in the lead named Yeager suddenly took out a golden lion token: "Barrett, this is the Queen's warrant. Seeing the warrant is as if Her Majesty has come personally."

Sure enough, as soon as the golden order came out, the soldiers of the Holy Judgment Corps immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Even Barrett was wearing a chest protector with a serious face. The sergeants behind him knelt down in unison, performed a knightly salute towards the token, and shouted in unison: "Glory is my life!"

Yeager sneered, holding the golden order and yelling coldly: "The Holy Judgment Legion listens to the order! Send the secret order of Her Majesty the Queen, and continue to crack the seal!"

Hearing this, Barrett still maintained the half-kneeling posture of saluting, and did not get up for a long time.

He stared deeply at the ground, not knowing what to think.

The regiment commander didn't move, and the sergeants behind him didn't move at all.

"You guys"

Yeager looked at the group of people unmoved, his face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily: "You disobeyed the Queen's secret order, are you trying to rebel!"

Hearing the harsh word "rebellion", everyone in the Holy Judgment Legion looked ugly.

As royal knights who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, this is the greatest insult to them.

After pondering for a while, Barrett finally spoke, and said in an extremely low voice: "My Holy Legion will always be His Majesty's most loyal guards!"

Hearing this, Yeager's expression relaxed.

But at this time, Barrett seemed to have made a decision, and then he said loudly: "However... I still insist on my opinion, this ruin must not be unsealed now! As the head of the Judgment Legion, I have the right to Making the most reasonable contingency decisions on the field according to the situation of the war is also the right granted to the battlefield commander by His Majesty and Congress! I also believe that my judgment is beneficial to the empire!"

As soon as he said this, a group of sergeants behind him immediately responded to the commander of his own army and shouted: "Glory is my life!"

Yeager's face became very ugly when he heard it, and he was no longer polite: "Barrett, do you know what you are talking about? Disobeying the Queen's secret order, you and your subordinates will be sent to a military court, which is a serious crime." Die! And you will also burn your Judgment Legion's hundreds of years of title honor, and even implicate your family and friends in the imperial capital!"

The threat of these words is already full.

For a knight, betrayal of the royal order is not as simple as death.

In the end, the reputation will be ruined, and the family will be ransacked.

But even so, Barrett's eyes were firm and his tone was unwavering: "I know exactly what I'm doing."

In the eyes of outsiders, Barrett is just a rough man who only knows how to fight.

Professionals who may have advanced to the sixth level, how can they not know some secrets?

Years of battles, voyages, explorations, excavated relics, encountered various intelligent races of natives, heard legends, and known a lot of secrets.

His experience is much wider than those nobles who have never been out of the imperial capital.

When he was cursing the space before, Bazel might just be skeptical.

Seeing the chaotic law of the high rank leaked from the black hole now made him feel inexplicable palpitations. How could he not have guessed that this situation is completely consistent with the words of the man with the crow's mouth mask before?

He is very clear that even if it is not a "burial place for gods", there is still a big problem with this ruin!

He even suspected that there was something wrong with the top military intelligence department.

Even. Something went wrong inside the royal room!

Before we figure it out, this ruin must not be opened!

Seeing Barrett's attitude, Yeager suddenly flashed fierceness in his eyes. Holding up the golden order, he shouted: "According to Her Majesty's secret order, I now announce that Bazel disobeyed the military order and dismissed him as the head of the Holy Judgment Legion!"
