Chapter 678 Runes and the Magic Well

Mia woke up from the bed, and found that she came to that strange and strange world again.

Above the head are drooping tree vines and fireflies tied with twine. This method of using insects to emit light is a unique local lighting method.

Mia walked out of the tree house and pushed away the rough hemp vines hanging from the door.Down there are layers of intertwined tree trunks, each of which can accommodate one or two people walking.The children run and jump nimbly on the trees, climbing and flying nimbly by grasping the vines like monkeys.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air.

She looked up to the sky.

It was night, and the stars were shining in the sky, but they were dim and sparse, far less clear and clear than the resurrection kingdom.

Mia looked down again.Under the magic tree where people gathered was a sea of ​​gray-black fog, as if a fire had been burning on the ground and thick smoke was constantly rising.

This is the third time for her to come to [Dags].

The first time, Mia thought she was in a dream and accidentally broke her leg.The second time she entered, she read the only few books and wooden inscriptions in the village, and asked the elders in the village around the corner, and gained an understanding of the world beyond the stars.

"Sydney, are you awake?"

The person who greeted her was a smiling old woman who looked about 80 or [-] years old.The old man was hunched over and holding a cane with a non-slip hook.

Mia said, "I just woke up, Grandma Qiao."

In this world, the body used by Mia belongs to a girl named Sydney who is a hunter.

"The dried fruit and water are no longer enough, and the leaves of the magic tree are not edible. The children are all very hungry. Could you please go hunting outside?"

Grandma Qiao said: "Although your injury has not recovered, I let you go out... but the food reserves are really insufficient. Winter will come soon, and it will be harder to go out then."

"it is good."

Mia immediately agreed.

"Old Gerald will go with you too, be careful."

Mia nodded.

As the only four hunters in the village, every hunting is a life-and-death journey. Shucun requires two hunters to act together to take care of and rescue each other.

Back at the tree house, Mia began to pack her bags.

Hunter's tools include ropes, hooks, masks, hunting knives and war bows.

The hook line is composed of claws and a special rope, which is tied to the hunter's arm and can be shot into the tree trunk from a long distance at any time, so that the hunter can grab the rope and swing to the next landing spot.

The face mask is composed of layers of linen and herbal interlayers to reduce the inhalation of [dead air].

Hunters need to enter the lower level of the tree village to hunt.The place close to the ground is full of dead air, full of monsters, and humans will suffer from convulsions, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and even coma and death after staying there for a long time.

It is also because of this that people live higher and higher, so as to stay away from the dead energy that is constantly pouring out and rising from the ground.

The hunting knife is as long as the forearm, with a thicker back and a curved hook at the tip.This structure is convenient for chopping, dividing food and materials, and digging between soil and stones.

Mia's war bow is made of elm wood.This is reserved for women, men use ash trees.

These two types of wood can carry the power of [Rune Runes].

According to the experience of people from generation to generation, elm is the most suitable for women, and ash is the most suitable for men.

After counting and clearing up, Mia tied the backpack used to hold the prey and walked out of the tree house.

Old Zero was already fully armed and waiting outside.

He has gray beard and hair, and is still 40 years old. The children in Shu Village call him Old Jie Luo.

In this world called [Dags], people's life expectancy is usually less than 50 years old, and Old Zero is indeed an old man.It is very rare for Granny Qiao to live such a long life, and the old people who lived at the same time as her had all died decades ago.

"Go to worship God first."

Jero took Mia all the way to a wide area in the trees.Here is a huge tree branch, with a statue of a god standing in the center. Several old people are kneeling before it and chanting words.

Hunters will worship the gods before going out to pray for good luck.

Mia is no stranger to this, because the Yao people also have such rituals and customs.

Everyone will first worship Yao God, and then pray to other gods according to different tendencies and fields.

Some people worship the White God to pray for wealth, some people believe in King Wuji and expect to be favored by the earth, some people pray to the God of Moments to gain wisdom, some people praise the King of Light, some people worship Marshal Changqi, and some People are in awe of billions of incarnations...

All tree villages in [Dags] believe in the [God of Thousand Faces].

Mia stood in front of the statue, staring ahead.

The God of Many Faces sits on a tall throne, wearing a broad-brimmed hat with broad wings on either side.

A big crow rests on each of His left and right shoulders. The beaks of these two birds are facing His ears, as if they are whispering to the gods.At His feet lie two wolves, and these two beasts are scanning all directions faithfully.

The God of Many Faces holds a spear in his hand, overlooking the world from the throne, his blurred face can not tell whether it is contempt, majesty or cruelty.

Jie Luo knelt in front of the wooden statue of the god: "O omnipotent God with a thousand faces, please bestow good luck on us. May we be able to harvest our prey this time and return safely."

Do as the locals do.

Mia also prayed like the old hunter.

This [God of Thousand Faces] is the only god in [Dags], but in the local history, he has never appeared since [Great Cataclysm].

According to word of mouth and board records, long, long ago, people lived on the ground, and every large settlement had magic wells.Residents can use the magic bottle to fill the magic energy to provide heating and cooking for each household, as well as drive [Rune Runes].

Two giant crows fly around the world every day, and then report to the God of Many Faces unreservedly what they see and hear-that is, the two birds on the shoulders of the statue.

It was the most glorious golden age of [Dags], the gods shrouded the sky, everything was competing, and it was full of vitality.

After an ordinary day, the giant crow disappeared into the sky and was never seen again.

The gods never responded.

In the long and fearless age of godlessness, people ushered in a cataclysm. The blowout of the underground magic well filled the whole world with monsters, and death covered the entire land.

In order to avoid monsters and dead spirits, some people climbed up the big trees that grew wildly in the flooded magic well, and some people went deep underground.

Even so, the Dagothians still believe in the God of Many Faces.

They believed that someday in the future He would return like lightning.The departure of the God of Many Faces is to test the bravery and tenacity of the Dagos, and when he returns, the whole world will recast its glory and become stronger than ever.

In the past, the God of Many Faces showed kindness and love to this place, and the runes were the treasures he gave.

……

Mia jumped with the old hunter Jero using tree vines and hooks, and kept landing under the tree.

Originally, Mia was not good at running and climbing in the wild. She was a student at the United Friendship University, mainly studying mathematics and astronomy, and studied under the famous demon lecturer Yuan Qing.

The owner of this body, Sydney, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her physical fitness is astonishing, with both strength and flexibility, which is not far behind those athletes trained by "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun".

No matter walking or running, it is more about the inertia of the body. Mia only needs to follow the muscle memory of the body.

As for the disadvantage, it is that Sydney's mind is too slow.

Mathematical problems that Mia could calculate immediately in the past, or various derivations based on conditions, are extremely difficult to calculate with this body.

Sydney's talent is all about her body, and her hands are faster than her brain.

Old Jie Luo warned: "Sydney, you still have to use your legs carefully, although you have always recovered quickly. But try not to fight those monsters hand-to-hand, use a bow, and don't get close."

Mia nodded: "I still feel that my body is not working well, so you can shoot arrows later."

"Alright."

According to Grandma Qiao and others, Xue Li is a cheerful, talkative and courageous hunter, and they were very surprised by the taciturn Xue Li after the injury.It is hard for the villagers to imagine that the person in this body is another person from a distant world.

Two hunters entered the hunting area, pulled up the masks around their necks, and found a hidden area to search for prey.

There is already gray fog lingering here, and the visibility is much lower than before.

After waiting for a while, a shadow came not far away.

The two hunters remained motionless.

The visitor stopped and looked around from time to time. It slowly approached and its face was revealed.

It was a large lizard with gray cuticles, it was about two adults long, it crawled on the ground on all fours, and there was a single horn that curved upwards on the tip of its nose.

It is 【Horned Lizard】.

Good luck.

The horned lizard is a less dangerous prey. It is not afraid of toxins, has rough skin and thick flesh, and is an irresistible natural enemy to most insect monsters.But for the hunters of Dagoth, as long as they can hit its eyes, they can get their prey.

Mia saw that Old Zero had drawn his ash bow and pointed his sharpened arrow at the enemy.

There are two magic horns at both ends of the war bow, and [Rune runes] are engraved on the bow piece - "Uruznid Surisaz".

This is actually a three-segment phrase.

Uruz represents the male user and is the invocation of runes.

Ned pointed to "restraint" and "oppression" to confirm the continuous effect of power.

Surisaz is "thorns and thorns", which condenses the external form of power.

To be united is to confirm the male user, to determine the characteristics of the power as a way to entangle and bind the enemy, and to spread through piercing.

The magic angles at both ends of the string groove are specially made energy storage containers.Get a certain amount of magic energy by sealing it and storing it in a magic bottle for soaking, and then use it to push the runes.

Mia was very puzzled when she saw this magical prop for the first time.

It's an incredibly powerful technique.But in this world, people can only apply it to a few limited props such as bows, hooks, and magic bottles.The development of both mana and runes has been stagnant for a long time, even worse than before the cataclysm.

Now, she gradually understands.

To understand and apply the 24 runes requires the synergy of various basic knowledge.

Including the most basic linguistics, logic, theology, mathematics, casting and smelting, materials and engineering, etc.If it is placed in the Yao family, with the theory of elements and crystal structure technology as the theoretical and experimental support, and then use the [Crystal Structure Phase Dissociation Cannon] to conduct field tests, the deciphering and the development of new combinations can be completed step by step.

Mia also had the idea of ​​learning runes and bringing them back to Yao civilization, so she was fully prepared this time.

But in today's Dagos, there is no soil for further technology development.

They can only use the old method passed down from their ancestors and use the simplest and most common combinations to use runes.

At this time, the eyes of the old hunter holding the bow turned white, and his whole body was integrated with the power of the rune.

call out!
After the sound of breaking through the air, the horned lizard's head shook violently and let out a hissing roar.

It desperately shook its head that had been shot by the arrow, twisted its body on the ground, and opened its mouth to growl around, as if threatening the lurking enemies.

Old Zero just calmly and steadily drew the bow again, aiming at the target.

call out!
The horned lizard's injured left eye was shot again, and it thrashed wildly on the ground.

Then Old Zero and Mia made up two arrows respectively.Mia shot the horned lizard in the nostril, while Old Zero targeted the eyes.

The horned lizard limply lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"Walk."

Old Zero led Mia around behind the horned lizard.He took out his hunting knife and slashed at the horned lizard's tail, and Mia did the same.The two hunters quickly chopped off a severed tail that was two arms long.

They picked up the tail and quickly retreated the way they came.

Given enough time and energy, horned lizards can be killed.But other predators are likely to appear on the way, which is extremely dangerous for hunters.

The job of the hunter is to capture the meat of the prey, not to kill it.

"Uruznid Surisaz" can not only pierce the enemy, but also temporarily bind the enemy.

It is much easier to cut off the horned lizard's tail, and the tailbone, meat, and cuticles are all useful food and materials.

Not long after the two escaped, the horned lizard was suddenly pulled into the ground by something, leaving only a small sunken depression on the ground.

Mia and old Jie Luo were so angry that they didn't dare to show it.

After confirming that there was no problem, the two began to look for other food and materials further.

When the mask turned black and dropped particles, the two hunters turned back immediately.This is a sign of danger, if you continue to stay, the dead air will break through the protection of the mask and enter the mouth and nose, causing bleeding and more serious internal organ damage.

……

Mia and Old Zero each carried a bag and displayed the harvested prey in front of the statue.

The children surrounded the strong and powerful long tail.The horned lizard's long tail was still shaking slowly, and the section showed bright red and tight fleshy texture and solid white bones.

"What a big lizard tail! Sydney is still so powerful!"

"There is broth to drink this winter!"

"I really want to eat now..."

……

The old men weighed the meat, stored it, and began to focus on other things.

Old Jello's bag contained several common herbs, a bunch of edible roots, a few large firefly eggs, some flint for fire, and sharp gravel for tools.

But what Mia brought back was another style.

"Sydney, what is this?" An old man pointed to the eye-catching and heavy stone slab in the bag.

"This is a record slab. There are more than a dozen more near a depression below."

Mia said: "According to the drawing records above, there is a magic well not far from the magic tree, and a huge monster lives under the magic well. Although the description is very simple, the general environment around it is very realistic, and you can find the corresponding landmark."

She pointed to the slate.

A well is engraved on the stone slab, and under the mouth of the well is a huge snake, which seems to be sleeping.

"The magic well should be related to this monster, so the flooding and spewing of the magic well may also be related to it."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Someone asked about something again: "This skin is really intact."

Mia carefully unfolded this piece of animal hide, and explained: "This leather has been tanned, and it is a tool after artificial processing. It is made of a red pigment, which should be powder ground from some kind of stone, and a simple leather made of mixed oil. Ink."

The old people came together one after another.

A group of little red men running around are painted on the skin, and a big red snake is hunting them everywhere and swallowing them up.

A quirky rune is drawn underneath.

"Aivaz...destruction and creation. Granny Qiao squinted her eyes: "It seems to be asking for help."This should be a plea for help from people underground, I hope we can see it. "

"Sure enough, they were still attacked by monsters... There is nowhere to hide on the ground, and there is only a dead end underground."

"It's a pity, may their dead souls rest in peace."

A child looked at Mia: "Sydney, it feels like you have become different recently, you seem to be a lot smarter! Did you get hurt so much last time? Are you inspired by the gods?"

Mia thought to herself that she had indeed been inspired by the gods.It is God Yao, not the god here.

"I was just thinking that maybe there's more to life than hunting," she said.

Granny Qiao looked at her: "Then what should I do?"

Facing the senior man's inquiry, Mia was not timid at all: "This world is at stake and may be destroyed at any time. If we want to survive, we have to leave here."

"Well, everyone knows that no tree, no matter how tall it grows, can't leave the ground. Birds always return to the ground."

"Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it."

The old people sighed.

Grandma Qiao looked at Mia: "Continue to talk about your thoughts."

Mia was silent for a while.

"I think we need new gods to lead us away."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sydney, you..."

Mia is ready for all kinds of disasters and accusations.

But this step must be taken, otherwise the worsening death here will continue to rise. The magic tree is being bitten by various monsters, and its vines and roots cannot prevent all attackers.Sooner or later, one day, either the magic tree collapsed, or the monsters below completely climbed up the tree.

Granny Qiao's old eyes sharpened: "Do you know how to worship other gods?"

"Have other gods descended here?"

"Sydney, tell me quickly."

The old people chattered.

This... seems to be different from what I thought.

Everyone seems to accept the other gods as well.

"I have indeed been blessed and inspired by a great god. He is the master of thousands of worlds. His power is spread over the mountains and oceans. Demons and gods also pay allegiance to him. Unstoppable natural disasters also creep at his feet. As long as you believe in him , offer loyalty and humility to Him, and you will be rescued by the Yao civilization..."

Mia talked about the various miracles of God Yao.

The elderly and children in Shucun were all very excited when they heard it!

"Let's build the statue of this great God Yao! We have to try everything!"

Mia realized in her heart.

In a world of despair, everyone's desire to survive can break through all rules and regulations, and they will seize any sliver of hope.

Mia used her knowledge of mathematics and geometry, plus the compulsory sketches required by the school, to outline the construction drawings of the statue of God Yao.

Everyone got busy building statues of gods.

……

After being so busy and exhausted, Mia wrote a diary on the bark beside the bed and left it for Sydney to read when she came back.

She sat on the bed and looked at the dark sky outside the tree hole.

The stars are dim.

On the other side of the world, I don't know what that Sydney who occupies my body is doing now.

Today is the key project report day...my graduation assessment...

Thinking of this, Mia felt her brain tingle.

Let's hope she doesn't screw up too much.
