Chapter 870 White Deer Ruins
After the imprint of the World Tree was formed, Leo tried to become familiar with the imprint of the World Tree just as he was familiar with other imprint powers in his own family.
At the very beginning, after trying various methods, he found that the imprint of the World Tree had no other effect except for the strong restraint effect on the power of nightmares. Even without a special power, it cannot provide him with a lot of knowledge like the Mark of the Web Weaver.
Leo didn't feel any regrets about this. Although the imprint of the World Tree couldn't bring him too much power, it could effectively restrain the power of nightmares and help him control this commonly used power more easily. of.
But in the process of rushing later, he gradually discovered that the imprint of the World Tree seemed to have undergone some changes. The original effect of restraining the power of nightmares still existed, and at the same time, another auxiliary effect gradually produced, that is, the enhancement of the Eye of Reality imprint effect.
Through the upgrade of the imprint of the World Tree, when Leo activated his spiritual vision and activated the imprint of the Eye of Reality, he was able to see the operation mode of energy in this world and the details of the composition of matter. Although the things he saw were still somewhat vague, but But there are already some clues.
It is precisely because of this that Leo tried to help Tessa Mocha improve the World Tree Seed in his body, because he could clearly feel that with the improvement of the World Tree Seed, the various auxiliary abilities he obtained from the imprint became more and more powerful. stronger.
After confirming from Tessa Moka that there was no need to hunt Guta beasts, Leo went to the ruins of the White Deer Tribe as Sylvia suggested.
It's just that Leo's sled can only seat two people. For this reason, Tessa Moka used her ability to promote the rapid growth of some vine seeds, and during the growth process, she adapted her shape into the shape of a sled.
In the process of making the sled, Tessa Mocha did not bypass Mist and Randall, and these two recessive mutants who thought they were well-informed were completely shocked by this scene and couldn't help but Live and call miracles again and again.
After the sled was prepared, Leo dragged it behind, let Mist and Randall lie down, and then opened his psionic wings to take advantage of the strong wind from the north, and quickly slid across the snow, moving towards the Vinovi Mountains. .
Although they have seen the sled move quickly without any power, it is still incredible for Mist and Randall to experience this extreme speed.
The speed of the sled was very fast, and it took only one meal to come to a high mountain outside the Vinovi Mountains. This high mountain seemed to be a landmark, and Randall, who specializes in geography, quickly put this high mountain He was recognized, and his current location was also clarified.
Afterwards, Randall pointed out the location of the site with the White Deer tribe site, and the group continued on the road, and soon they came to the hill.
It is not entirely correct to say that it is a hill, because from the overall shape, this so-called hill is actually more like the ground that is arched after a huge object hits the ground. It also makes it a perfect safe haven.
In addition, at the site of the impact, the ground sank, forming a huge lake. The surface of the lake was frozen, but there was still water under the ice, and for unknown reasons, the vegetation here seemed to grow well, surrounding the hills. And lakes, a large forest grew.
Because of the barrier of the forest, the wind speed has been reduced a lot, and the vegetation here is also very dense, which is not suitable for sleds to slide quickly. Therefore, after a group of people came to the outer edge of the forest in the south of the hill, they no longer used sleds, but stepped on them. Walk on soft snow.
When passing through the forest, everyone obviously felt that the cold wind had become very small, and the temperature had naturally increased a lot.
Tessa Moka felt that there was a strong vitality that was not found in other places in the Northland. Looking at the thriving Northland pine trees around her, she couldn't help but wondered: "The environment here is so good, why no one comes here to settle? Just because of here It used to be the settlement of the White Deer Tribe, do you want to give up such a good place to respect the White Deer Tribe?"
"It shouldn't be because this is the settlement of the White Deer Tribe," Mist, who has studied the Northland Tribe, immediately answered: "In the Northland, there are many settlements left by the White Deer Tribe. The northern tribes still live there, so they should not give up here because of the Bailu tribe."
"Maybe it has something to do with the location of this settlement." Randall speculated: "It is located in the west of the Northland, and there are very few surrounding forests. In the past, it was the Black Forest Swamp. There are very few places suitable for the settlement of the Northland tribes. There are no more than five tribes. If any tribe settles here, it is equivalent to cutting off contact with other tribes in the Northland. The tribes in the Northland live in groups. A single tribe cannot survive in such a cruel environment in the Northland. Go down, so no tribe chooses this place as a settlement."
"Maybe!" Tessa Mocha felt that Randall was right, but she always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't plan to invest too much interest in this matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.
A group of people passed through the forest very quickly. Although there were a lot of creatures from the north who were hiding from the wind and snow in the forest, and there were many beasts among these creatures, after entering the forest, Tessa Mocha faintly exuded An invisible force emerged, this force was peaceful and stable, and through the connection of trees, it was transmitted to every tree in the forest, soothing the restless creatures in the forest, so that these creatures did not regard them as prey.
After passing through the forest, a huge lake surrounded by the forest appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The surface of the lake has formed a thick layer of ice, just like a mirror. It can be imagined that if the weather is fine, the smooth surface of the lake It can definitely reflect the dazzling light, and the site of the Bailu tribe is located by the lake, with the hillside behind it.
When they first heard about the ruins of the White Deer Tribe, everyone, including Leo, should have seen some simple mud houses, only tent houses on the ground, some low stone walls, etc. Wait, anyway, the scene in my mind is primitive and backward.
However, the ruins of the White Deer Tribe that they saw now surprised Leo and the others, because the ruins looked like some kind of civilized building. The layers are piled up to the mountainside. The solemn temple is located on the top of all the buildings, all of which are made of large stones. There is also a square in front of the temple. Some stone pillars have been erected around the square, but those stone pillars have now collapsed. up.
No matter how you look at the ruins in front of you, it looks like a building left over from a high civilization, which is completely inconsistent with people's impression of the northern tribes in the past.
"Is this built by the White Deer Tribe?" Tessa Moore always thought that the Northern Tribes were the same as those still uncivilized primitive tribes deep in the wasteland, but seeing the scene in front of her now really overturned her previous point of view.
"It should be." The person who answered Tessa Mocha was not Mist and Randall, but Sylvia. She looked at the ruins in front of her and said, "The White Deer Tribe once Having unified all the tribes in the Northland, you must know that the people in the Black Forest in the South were still tribes at that time, and did not build a country. The White Deer Tribe can unify the tribes in the Northland, and it will certainly be able to promote the development of civilization to a very high position. , it is not difficult to build such a building.”
"What happened to the White Deer Tribe?" Leo who hadn't spoken all this time asked suddenly.
Sylvia didn't think too much, and replied casually: "The White Deer Tribe was later divided into various tribes in the Northland."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Leo frowned, and said, "A White Deer tribe that unified the entire Northland should be very powerful, and until now all the tribes in the Northland regard themselves as white." The descendants of the Deer Tribe are proud, so the White Deer Tribe should also be very popular. Judging from the buildings here, the civilization of the White Deer Tribe at that time also developed to a very high bottom, not only surpassing the southern part of the Velen Continent, but even other continents. There are only a handful of ancient civilizations that can stand shoulder to shoulder with it. Such a civilization that is extremely powerful and has no internal disputes should establish a country logically. How could it be re-dispersed into some small tribes? Something must have happened in the middle?"
Hearing Leo's words, everyone was stunned, because none of them really thought about how the White Deer tribe was disbanded. They just knew from the leftover documents that there was a White Deer tribe that unified the entire Northland. Tribe, this tribe is the source of the entire northern tribe, etc. As for the doubts mentioned by Leo, they didn't think much about it.
However, now after Leo's inquiry, they all feel something is wrong, because the doubts Leo said are too obvious and too important, anyone who is engaged in the study of northern tribes should see the related It is only right to have such doubts when they are collecting information, but they completely ignore it. It is too suspicious, as if some kind of power in this world is influencing their thinking, making them actively ignore the issues related to the Bailu Tribe .
When everyone was stunned, Leo didn't continue to ask questions, but turned his head to look at the lake next to him. His eyes seemed to penetrate the ice layer of the lake and saw the scene at the bottom of the lake.
Sylvia noticed Leo's actions and couldn't help asking: "Did you find anything?"
"There should have been something at the bottom of the lake, but it was salvaged, and only some fragments remained." Leo told what he saw, then looked at the temple on the hillside, and said: "That temple I'm afraid it was built for something at the bottom of the lake, let's go and see."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the temple on the hillside. As for the other houses around him, he was not interested in exploring.
Seeing this situation, other people followed, still thinking about the question just now in their minds.
A group of people soon came to the temple on the hillside. Although the temple had been built for many years, due to the special environment of the Northland and its location, the temple was generally well preserved. It collapsed due to strong winds and other reasons.
However, the patterns on the surface of these stone pillars are still well preserved, and what is engraved on them can be clearly identified. For the two people who are engaged in the research of the White Deer Tribe, Mist and Randall, these stone pillars are definitely the most important part of the study of the White Deer Tribe. The best information, if it is usually, they probably can't wait to get it together, and carefully record every recognizable pattern on it with their portable notebooks.
However, now they are more interested in the things at the bottom of the lake that Leo said, because in their opinion, even people like Leo and Sylvia are so concerned about things in the lake, so the things at the bottom of the lake must be Very important.
However, things were destined to disappoint Mister and Randall. When they entered the mystery, there was nothing worth noting. The only thing that could attract the attention of the entrants was a strangely shaped pedestal in the middle of the temple.
From the perspective of the altar, this irregularly shaped pedestal obviously does not meet anyone's aesthetics. If someone makes the altar like this, the maker will definitely be arrested and sacrificed alive.
But now that such an irregularly shaped altar is grandly placed in the center of the temple, then this altar is obviously in line with the wishes of the people here at that time, which makes Mist and Randall wonder what the function of this altar is.
However, they didn't need to be confused for too long, and Sylvia soon gave the answer, saying: "Is that thing that was salvaged from the lake placed on it?"
"It should be." Leo walked around the altar, wiped some parts of the altar with his hand, and said: "When the White Deer tribe abandoned this place, things should have been moved away. Now things may be in the Royal Academy of the French Empire, or they may be stored in the royal secret treasury."
"Do you know what that is?" Sylvia asked.
And Sylvia's question made others feel a little inexplicable, because even if Leo knew that there was something at the bottom of the lake, and it was salvaged and enshrined as an object of the gods, these things happened many years ago. Not to mention Leo, even those who specialize in the research of the White Deer Tribe would not be able to know what it was, unless it was the royal family of the French Empire who had a very close relationship with the White Deer Tribe.
However, what surprised them all was that after hearing Sylvia's question, Leo nodded and said, "I know what it is, but it shouldn't be of much use to a primitive tribe. unless……"
Leo suddenly thought of something, walked out of the temple quickly, and came to the lake again. Under the eyes of everyone, he punched through the ice layer of the lake and jumped into the lake.
