Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 257 Emerald Holy Land

Su Lun counted the loot, and all in all, he made a big profit.

Fighting has always been a shortcut to getting rich for the powerful side.

There are hundreds of puppets to help clear the battlefield, and the speed is very fast. After a while, he almost put away the spoils.

While dealing with the traces of the battlefield, I heard a large group of people coming from the stockade on the hillside in the distance.

Looking over, it was Yuta who led a group of people from the White Deer Tribe over.

The leader is an old man with white antlers on his forehead, and the fire of the soul is also the strongest. This is naturally the fourth-order druid ancient elder.

The old man looked frail and was being supported, and the wound on his abdomen was covered with freshly crushed herbs. When people walked over, there was still a strong smell of medicine in the air. It looks like he was badly injured in the previous battle.

This group of people came over, and Yuta formally introduced to them: "This is Mr. Su Lun, and he was the one who repelled the enemy just now."

The language used is common language, which only Druids can understand among the Daru tribe.

The white deer old man looked at Su Lun with excitement and sincere gratitude on his face: "Lao Xiu Dagu represents the entire White Deer tribe, thank the warriors for their life-saving grace."

Saying that, he put one hand on his chest and bowed to Su Lun in a big salute.

The dozens of people behind him also bowed with him.

In front of the elder, Su Lun naturally didn't dare to be too big, and responded politely.

Even though the tribe had just suffered a disaster, Su Lun, as a warrior who saved the tribe, was warmly received by the Daru people of the Bailu tribe.

Originally planned to spend the night in the forest, now he lives in the stockade.

Probably because of the need for population, this time the old and young in the tribe were not arrested and slaughtered by the slave group.

But even so, the bodies piled up in mountains.

The stockade is full of devastation.

As a guest, Su Lun naturally didn't need to help, there were enough people in the tribe. The young people of the deer tribe are cutting down trees to repair the bombed-out fence of the village. With the thick fence, the old and young can safely pick up the bodies of their relatives, lest the predators in the forest come smelling of blood and meat. Tribes cause secondary injury

The tribe was burned to the ground, but Su Lun was placed in the best shack, with barbecued meat and fruit.

The night is very good tonight, the moonlight is like silver.

Su Lun looked at the cottage in front of him, sculpting the puppet in his hand, and occasionally thought about something else.

Yuta was by his side.

For a long time, the two did not speak.

The Druid experienced two such desperate scenes in a short period of time, and his mood was unstable.

She didn't dare to look at the clansmen, the moonlight poured into those blue crystal eyes, and the waves flickered.

After all, she couldn't hold back the broken embankment. 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 Yuta's head, soothing the white wolf clan lady who was crying into tears.

Yuta threw herself in his arms, and Tao Tao cried.

Early the next morning, Su Lun and Yuta continued on their way.

The White Deer Tribe sent a team of young men to escort them for a long distance, and they said goodbye and returned until the sun set.

The current situation of the Daru tribes is very bad.

The slave gang found their location, and next time there will be other slave gangs who hear the news.

The White Deer Tribe also had to migrate.

Silent Woods is big, but they don't have much choice.

This is already the depths of the forest, and if you retreat, it will be a holy place.

But there can't be so many people there.

The Daru people believe in the god of nature, and their life is almost in the most primitive state. Their main food source is hunting and picking. 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 exceeds the upper limit that an area can support, a part of it must be divided to open up new hunting areas and establish new tribes.

But now the living space is constantly being compressed, and the population has plummeted. If it continues, the survival of the ethnic group is also a big problem.

Su Lun also asked Yuta why they didn't migrate further.

Yuta said that the holy lake has something that their Daru clan must protect.

The next few days the journey went smoothly.

As a Druid, Yuta can understand some of the language of birds and beasts. With her leading the way, the two avoided some high-level demonic infested and dangerous areas. Although he encountered several attacks, he also managed to reach the deepest part of the silent forest without any risk.

The Silent Forest has abundant water resources like leaf veins, although in the cold north, there are also large rivers that do not freeze all year round.

On this day, after the two fell on a mountain, they got a small boat, changed the land route to a water route, and drifted eastward along a large river called the "Runas River" by the Daru people.

Rafting on the clear river water, the two seemed very leisurely.

While Yuta was in charge of rowing, Su Lun remained focused on tinkering with his puppets, flipping through the books from time to time.

The two also formed a tacit understanding along the way, and occasionally chatted, Yuta would also introduce him to those strange creatures in the forest.

Unconsciously, it was already half a day on the boat, and Yuta suddenly said, "Mr. Su Lun, we are coming!"

Only then did Su Lun recover from his immersion and saw a pretty face.

After a few days on the road, the Druid's mood gradually recovered, and the innocent smile appeared on her face again.

Yuta sighed with emotion: "Mr. Su Lun, you really work hard, no wonder you are so powerful."

Su Lun smiled noncommittally and looked around, "It's coming?"

He saw that the surrounding forest was no different from before, and felt a little surprised. This is the legendary "Emerald Holy Land" of the atrium tribe of the Dalu tribe?

It looked like there was no difference, and I didn't see any other Daru people.

"Um!"

Yuta nodded earnestly, then pointed back to the bow, "It's over there~"

Only then did Su Lun look past Yuta's body and see the river ahead.

"Huh, is that a waterfall?"

His eyesight was good, and naturally he saw that the river suddenly stopped flowing, forming a thin line at the end of his vision.

After listening carefully, the sound of "rumbling" water in my ears gradually became clear.

Listening to this movement, the drop of the waterfall seems to be not small.

"Well, this is the nearest way!"

Yuta looked expectant, "Since I became a Druid, I haven't been to Holy Lake for a year or two."

Su Lun looked a little curious, like riding a roller coaster, and suddenly reached the highest point, but he couldn't see the situation below, no matter what, there was a trace of expectation due to the unknown.

He saw that Yuta had no intention of docking and stopping the boat, and asked, "Are we going to jump from the waterfall?"

Yuta nodded, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Su Lun, hold on to me later~"

"Ah"

When Su Lun heard the slightly playful words, the corners of his brows curved slightly.

He also stood up and looked into the distance.

The waterfall is getting closer, the speed of the boat is getting faster and faster, and the roar in the ear has been so loud that it is difficult to hear the words.

Near the break of the river, Su Lun finally saw the shockingly spectacular scenery in front of him, and murmured involuntarily, "It's really an emerald holy place!"

The maps that Su Lun bought in the black market and the Adventurer's Guild before were all adventure maps outside the Silent Forest. He didn't know that there was such an incredible sight in the depths of the forest.

It's like a meteorite fell, smashing a huge basin deep in the forest, this is the "emerald holy land".

The Silent Forest is in the north, with a cold climate, and the vegetation is mostly coniferous forests, such as various fir trees and cold pine. Covered with frost and snow, the main color is gray and white. Under this waterfall, there is a vibrant green and a pleasant climate.

Viewed from the air, it is like a piece of emerald inlaid on the gray and white ground.

Without waiting for Su Lun to appreciate the scenery in front of him, the boat they were riding in began to free fall from the waterfall, and they jumped.

Yuta grabbed Su Lun's hand and laughed loudly, with a playful and naughty smile on his face, "Hahahaha. Mr. Su Lun, you know, my favorite thing when I was a kid was jumping waterfalls."

Su Lun listened with a slight smile, looking at the waterfall with a drop of several hundred meters, his eyes also flashed with brilliance.

Falling freely in the air, there is an inexplicable joy in my heart.

After a few breaths, the two fell into the water.

The sound of "gulu" pouring water is in my ears, and the sound of water is full of clattering.

Yuta didn't rush out of the water, but took Su Lun and dived a long way in the water.

After the turbulent waterfall water flows into the forest, it quickly becomes gentle.

The water is exceptionally clear, and when you open your eyes underwater, you can clearly see the underwater world.

There are swaying aquatic plants in the water, and the roots are clearly visible; the red fish happily follows the two uninvited guests; the translucent green shrimp is frightened and quickly retreats. The light and shadow illuminate the vegetation on the water into the water, the light and shadow Gorgeous, so beautiful.

Everything in his eyes is very clear.

Su Lun dived in the water, and the joy in his heart became stronger and stronger.

It was as if the boredom that had accumulated for countless days was now washed away by the clear river water.

It was only then that he realized that he had traveled through this world, and it seemed that he had never observed and experienced the beauty of nature so carefully.

At this moment, thousands of pores are relaxed.

Su Lun tilted his head slightly and looked at a pretty face with a bright smile.

Yuta pointed to the water.

The two got out of the water and went ashore.

This is a quiet deep forest, with the chirping of birds in my ears and the fragrance of flowers in my nostrils. It is like a forest path in summer, with mottled tree shadows on the ground, the temperature is just right, warm, and there is a breeze.

Underfoot is a moss-covered slate that extends deep into the jungle. There are also two ancient stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns on the side of the road, which look like the torii gates in front of the Japanese shrine in Su Lun's previous life. In the mound that is not easy to notice next to the stone pillar, there are also several pottery pots for sacrifice. It seems that they have been born for some years, and the years have left mottled marks on it.

Su Lun took one more look.

The runes of alchemy are very different from the prohibition system of the Daru tribe, but he also saw that the carvings on this stone pillar contained some kind of high-level law power.

Seeing that he was interested, Yuta introduced: "That is the 'sacrificial pillar', which is specially built to protect the residence of the forest elves. It can eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. It is also a barrier that the gods bless our Daru people. Stop all those who are malicious to our Daru tribe."

After a pause, she greeted, "Let's go, Mr. Su Lun."

"Um."

Su Lun took another look, thoughtfully, and followed him up.

Passing through the two stone pillars, as if passing through an invisible barrier, he vaguely sensed something. But before he could think about it, before taking a few steps, a few demihumans wearing animal skins suddenly appeared from the tree.

Several people were condescending, and when they saw the person coming, they shouted excitedly: "Sister Yuta!"

Yuta obviously knew them as well, and greeted cheerfully, "Kora, today are your patrols."

"Well! Sister Yuta, why did you come to the Holy Land?"

The girl named Korra was a rabbit clan girl. She looked young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was holding a bow and arrow, with a quiver pinned to her back, like a patrol. And beside her were several Daru 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.

Korra asked, "Sister Yuta, why did you bring a human into the Holy Land?"

Yuta introduced: "This is Mr. Su Lun. He is my savior and the benefactor of our Daru tribe."

Even so, the eyes of the half-old children looking at Su Lun did not diminish at all, and they started talking nonsense.

"Recently, there have been many slave hunters in the forest. The 'Green Tiger Tribe' and the 'Black Bear Tribe' in the north have been attacked by those hateful humans, and many people have died."

"Yeah, Sister Yuta, humans are not trustworthy. Recently, humans have been serving people, and they have probed the periphery of the Holy Land."

"I heard that there are human beings who are trying to attack the ruins of the 'Curse Valley', and the patriarch also specially instructed us to patrol carefully."

"."

Su Lun was on the side, listening to Yuta and the group of small patrols communicating in Daru, but did not understand a few words.

But looking at the eyes, you can tell that these little brats don't seem to welcome human beings to enter.

Yuta heard some of the bad news and knew what they were worried about. He explained patiently: "Mr. Su Lun is different, he is the 'prophetic warrior'."

Hearing this, Korra said in surprise: "Ah? Another prophesied warrior? But, one came yesterday. The elders are very happy, and they called everyone to welcome that human being."

When Yuta heard this, her brows furrowed, and she immediately asked, "A human came yesterday?"

"yes."

Korra said: "That human saved the Frost Fox Tribe from the slave hunters and brought back the holy relic. The elders said she was the warrior in the prophecy."

Having said that, she looked at Su Lun with suspicion again, worried: "Sister Yuta, don't be deceived by this human being. Adults say that human beings are very cunning and can lie more than foxes. ."

Hearing this, Yuta was immediately shocked, "That human also brought back the holy relic?"

"Um!"

Korra nodded earnestly and responded with excitement, "It's [Spear Brionak Spear], I saw it with my own eyes yesterday!"

Hearing this, Yuta was really surprised.

She originally thought that Mr. Su Lun beside her would be the prophecy, but she didn't expect that, maybe not?

The prophecy that "the warriors who follow the ancient covenant will save the people and bring back the holy relics" refers to someone else?

But what about the oath?

Mr. Su Lun, however, said that he was the heir to the Isaac family.

For a time, Yuta felt conflicted and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

However, no matter how you think about it, it is a good thing to find the holy relic after all.

Su Lun saw that Yuta's expression became strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuta didn't doubt Su Lun at all, and directly translated the previous conversation.

Su Lun also sounded strange, "Someone came with a relic?"

As soon as he heard it, he immediately thought it was strange.

The oath that year was signed by Sir Isaac and the ancestors of the Daru tribe. The prophecy said "the warrior who follows the oath", most likely referring to Mr. Mirror.

Now there is another one, what's the situation?

If Su Lun and Mr. Jing were not very familiar, knowing that Isaac had only two daughters, he even suspected that there were other descendants in the Isaac line.

So, what the hell is going on now?

He also brought back a sacred object, which is more in line with the conditions of the prophecy.

Yuta didn't figure it out either, and looked puzzled.

However, in her opinion, it doesn't matter whether Su Lun is a "prophetic warrior" or not.

It is a fact that he has saved himself and his family 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 was here to bring words and heal the disease. As for the warrior in the prophecy, it doesn't seem to matter who it is.

The Daru people have been inherited for countless years, and it is unlikely that they will be deceived.

Perhaps, that "warrior" is really someone else, maybe?
