Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 259 Devil Devouring Totem

Su Lun followed Elder Pasu through the dense forest area and came to a giant tree.

It was a giant grey elm, probably the largest tree Su Lun had ever seen. The diameter of the trunk is more than thirty meters, the leaves are lush, and the canopy is towering. A tree is like a green island with birds chirping.

In the upright flowering period, there are wicker-like branches hanging down from the branches, covered with clusters of small white flowers. The breeze was blowing, and white petals were scattered all over the sky, like falling snow.

There is a tree hole at the base of the trunk, where there are three-layered "door" shaped stone shelves.

The stone frame full of moss is carved with simple lines, which makes people feel a sense of sacred solemnity in their hearts.

Passu and Yuta came to the giant tree and folded their hands solemnly and prayed.

After praying, Yuta introduced to Su Lun: "This is the sacred tree of our Daru tribe, and its age is as old as the Holy Land. According to our ancestors, the sacred tree was once blessed by the great God of Nature. been."

Su Lun also looked sideways slightly, this tree is indeed different from others, giving people a feeling of spirituality.

The branches fluttered, as if to welcome him as a guest.

Yuta said again: "Let's go, the patriarch and the others are inside."

Su Lun nodded and followed into the tree hole.

When you enter, you will find that there is something special.

The space of the tree hole is larger than that of the outside, and the space is also high. The spiral staircase is along the wall of the tree hole, and it is about three or four stories high. The walls are filled with dense medicine cabinets, and the shelves are filled with various herbs. There are also many sun-dried medicinal herbs hanging overhead.

There is a large rectangular wooden table in the tree 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.

Looking at his face, he is very old.

These are the elders of the Daru tribe.

"Only two fifth orders?"

Su Lun sensed the fire of the souls of these people, and clearly identified two fifth-orders among them.

One of them is an old deer clan man with a long beard under his forehead.

The antlers on his head are huge, about half the size of his body. With an unwavering demeanor, he looked like a wise man, probably the patriarch Mona.

Next to him was an old woman with gray wolf ears, probably the "wolf mother-in-law" that Yuta always mentioned timidly.

No wonder the Daru clan is so weak, there are only two fifth-order clan, and the grades are still very big.

And what made Su Lun look sideways was that in the most conspicuous position in this room, a truncated spear was enshrined.

The Omniscient Eye glanced at it, only to realize that there was a lot of background.

[Spear Brionak Spear (damaged)]

Detailed explanation: One of the four sacred weapons of the Daru tribe, a divine weapon bestowed by the god of nature; in a complete state, it can be projected over long distances, ignoring obstacles and defenses, and piercing any law within the user's perception range that is not higher than the law of the spear Items, with additional law piercing damage; after attacking, the divine spear will return to the hands of the spear thrower; only natural divine powers can drive it;

"Is this the holy relic that Katyusha brought back?"

Su Lun saw a flash of thought in his heart.

The effect looks somewhat similar to his black sickle, ignoring the target defense that does not exceed the law of weapons.

Even the level of law contained in this divine spear may be higher.

It is indeed a big killer, but it is a pity that it is incomplete.

Su Lun didn't go to see more.

Although this spear has no side effects, it has restrictions on its use.

This is the exclusive artifact of the Daru tribe.

As soon as Su Lun came in, Elder Pasu introduced, "This is Mr. Su Lun."

The elders of the Daru clan obviously knew the origin and purpose of Su Lun. Needless to say, everyone stood up in unison and said sincerely, "Thank you to the warriors for saving our people of the Daru clan."

"You elders are welcome."

Su Lun responded politely.

At this time, the patriarch Mona started fighting, coughed twice, and went straight to the topic: "Listen to Elder Pasu, is Mr. Su Lun the heir of Sir Isaac?"

After saying this, the whole room looked at Su Lun expectantly.

No one knows better than these elders the meaning of the "Oath" thousands of years ago to their Daru tribe.

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 "one who followed the oath" in the prophecy.

The young man in front of him, who mentioned Sir Isaac, brought new hope.

Su Lun nodded and said, "Yes. For some special reasons, I am a disciple of Sir Isaac's Lady Serea."

Now that he has met the patriarch of the Daru clan, there is no need for him to conceal his identity.

But just listening to him tell his family about his identity, the eyes of the Dalu sages in the room all showed shock.

what!

Lady Seria's disciple?

if it is real,

This. This seniority is a bit ridiculously high.

Is this someone from their ancestors?

But how could this young man be the disciple of the lady a thousand years ago?

Su Lun didn't give them the time to guess, his generation was indeed not very clear in a few words, he paused and said, "I also heard Yuta talk about the ancient oath of the nobles. But I think the person who takes the oath may not be I."

Before he finished speaking, Yuta immediately gave him a surprised look.

The elders also showed a stunned expression, fearing that their expectations would be empty again.

Probably because the pressure of extermination overwhelmed the group of old people, Su Lun also saw the strong hope in their fleeting eyes.

He didn't detour, and said directly: "My senior sister, the daughter of Sir Isaac, Miss Ophelia Fey Isaac, is still alive. She also entrusted me to come to the noble holy land to discuss some matters. A matter of oath."

There are very few people in this world who know Mr. Jing's identity, and the members of the mirror organization may not all know it.

Who would have thought that a thousand-year-old character is still alive?

When Su Lun said this, the whole room fell silent.

Originally, they were dubious when they heard Su Lun say that he was Seria's disciple. Although they would not doubt a warrior who saved their clansmen, those words would be a bit unbelievable for anyone to hear.

But now, he actually said, Ser Isaac's own daughter is still alive?

This news was like a blockbuster, and it exploded in the hearts of everyone.

A group of calm and wise men couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.

For a time, needles could be heard falling from the huge tree house.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to interface.

Su Lun saw that they didn't speak, and then told Mr. Jing's original words, "Ms. Ophelia also said that the Isaac family will always remember the oath, and will use their lives to defend the friendship with the Daru family."

He didn't expect that when he said these words, it seemed to touch some hidden restrictions.

Su Lun suddenly felt a force passing over him, which refreshed him, and he whispered in his heart, "Is that the force of nature just now?"

He looked at the house, as if it was the will of the divine tree to respond to the oath?

Only then did he realize that the oath from a thousand years ago didn't seem so simple.

Su Lun originally thought it was something like a "covenant contract", but he didn't think that it seemed to involve some kind of very high-level law power.

The "Oath" is the most secret and sacred part of the Daru tribe, and even the source of their power.

It is said that when the gods grant them natural power, the warriors of the Daru tribe will impose restrictions on them, which is a kind of "oath". If you obey, you will gain; if you disobey, you will suffer.

This is something that Yuta didn't make clear.

"This is. God Tree responded?!"

"The ancient oath has really come true"

"The great god of nature has not abandoned his devout followers"

"."

The Daru people in the tree house are more sensitive than Su Lun.

Obviously, they also felt the sudden fluctuation of the power of nature just now, and they began to pray excitedly one by one.

After hundreds of years of the darkest time, I thought it was the dark night.

At this moment, they suddenly saw the dawn of dawn.

Su Lun saw the tears of devotion and excitement in the eyes of Yuta and these Daru elders, and felt the same in her heart.

The dark clouds were swept away, and the eyes were filled with the light of hope.

After a long while, the prayers were over, and the eyes of the Daru elders looked at Su Lun again, and immediately changed.

It was polite, grateful, and respectful before.

Now it is as kind and warm as if he treats his relatives.

Su Lun thinks this is also good. He has a good impression of the Daru people, and it is not bad to be regarded as a friend.

However, there is one more problem.

Because of the issue of seniority, the people in this room, except the deer clan old man Mo Na, who is the patriarch, are several generations shorter than Su Lun.

Even though Su Lun refused in every possible way, he was invited to the main seat and sat beside the patriarch.

Now the divine tree has recognized Su Lun, and no one has any doubts.

Everyone seemed very excited, and there was a lot of discussion, asking about the oath and the heirs of the Isaac family.

But Su Lun didn't know much, 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 period of time, she will personally Come by."

The elders of the Daru tribe were all delighted when they heard this.

The prophecy will be fulfilled when the man of the covenant appears.

The recent spate of bad news has overwhelmed them, and now they finally see hope.

Chatting and chatting, Patriarch Mona also dug out a brass scripture cylinder engraved with cipher text from a wooden box in the tree house.

In the eyes of everyone, he opened and took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll, and solemnly said to Su Lun: "This is the scroll of the vow passed down by our family. Now that the successor of the Isaac family has arrived, this vow is made by We witness the restart"

The scrolls were spread out in a ceremonial manner, and the whole room looked solemn.

Su Lun saw a few simple sentences on the contract.

And then looking at the signed signature, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was the name signed by the demigod himself a thousand years ago.

Just seeing those few words, a heavy sense of history and responsibility came to my face.

Su Lun took the quill that Yuta handed over, signed his name, and put his handprint 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 before, he had contacted that senior sister.

Because the blood clan is dormant and relegated, 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 did not treat Su Lun as an outsider,

Su Lun himself has no scruples.

He is the descendant of the Isaac family, and he follows the oath, as it should be.

After the oath was signed, the other elders left first.

Only Yuta was left in the wooden house, as well as three Daru people, the deer chief Mona and the wolf mother-in-law.

Su Lun has a little private matter.

He said it directly: "In addition to the contract, there is another private matter that needs to trouble the two elders. I want to ask, does the nobles have a solution to the mental distortion?"

The patriarch Lu looked at Su Lun and asked, "There is something wrong with the mental power of little friend Su Lun? Would you mind taking a look at the old man?"

"of course not."

Su Lun handed it over.

Patriarch Lu had a green light in his hands, checked it, and frowned.

Then, he motioned to the wolf mother-in-law on the side to take a look.

They looked at Su Lun's eyes and looked very complicated. The kind of surprise who originally thought that the cage was a cat, but found a fierce tiger.

Su Lun looked at the faces of the two of them and knew that things would not go well.

After the inspection, he asked, "Two elders, is this problem very troublesome?"

"It's really tricky."

The patriarch Lu pondered for a moment and said, "This situation should be Su Lun, you listened to the whispers of a certain dark god, and those high-level information can't be tolerated because of your current cognition, which led to the distortion."

Speaking of this, those slightly cloudy but wise eyes glanced at Su Lun, "And you, again, use your will to suppress this negative mental force. This causes it to get out of control at any time, causing you trouble."

As expected of the patriarch of the Daru clan, he said it as soon as he said it.

The Daru people believe in gods, and they have had close contact with gods. So in some ways, they knew the power of the gods better than the alchemists.

Su Lun listened intently, waiting for him to say the solution.

The patriarch Lu said again: "Your willpower is amazing, but this actually exacerbates the problem of distortion."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, agreeing with this statement.

He clearly felt this problem long ago, and suppression will only make the problem worse.

It's like the flood is blocked forever, it can only be suppressed temporarily, 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."

Su Lun was overjoyed when he heard this.

I didn't have any hope at first, I didn't expect to get a positive answer.

The patriarch Lu changed the subject slightly, and then added: "There are two methods, but neither can be solved completely, you can only try it first."

It's a good thing to have a way!

Su Lun looked at the old man with a sincere look on his face, "You said."

The patriarch deer said again: "The first method is, 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 gods. There is also a strong power of nature, which will also help you. To appease those negative mental power, in the long run, not to say that it can completely solve the problem, at least it will not let it backlash and endanger life.”

"."

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.

When he came in before, he clearly felt that sense of relief, and he had long guessed that the method said by the old patriarch was feasible.

But in such a wonderful world, it would be a pity to live in a corner for the rest of my life.

Probably guessing what he was thinking, the patriarch deer said with a smile: "Our holy land of the Daru people always welcomes friends. However, your young aspirations should be in the wonderful world outside. Therefore, you should prefer the second method. ."

Su Lun didn't hide his thoughts, and said sincerely, "Please enlighten me."

"That is to draw [Devil Devouring Totem]."

The patriarch deer said slowly: "Originally, mental distortion is not too troublesome for our Daru tribe. Our tribe has inherited a secret totem technique. By drawing some special totems, it carries some abnormal power that the body can't 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. The source of whispers comes from the dark gods, which means that the rank of the totem needs to be very high."

"Totem Secret Art?"

Su Lun heard something beyond cognition.

Listening to this tone, it seems to be possible, and it seems that it is not possible.

The patriarch deer said: "As you can see, the inheritance of our Daru clan is broken. The kind of totem that can perfectly solve your mental aberration, at least a great druid above the seventh rank can draw it perfectly."

Su Lun listened with a little thought flashing in his eyes.

This is pretty much what Mr. Mirror said.

It's not a pity that the old patriarch can say this, and there are obviously some alternatives that are feasible.

If not, the deer patriarch said: "There are some incomplete totem secrets passed down in the clan. The old man is not sure to solve the problem, but he can draw a totem to temporarily suppress the distortion."

"Temporarily suppressed"

When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts in his mind were digesting those words, while others flew around.

Since there is a way to solve this problem, then move towards this goal.

If the condition is not met, then try to find a way to make the condition met.

In an instant, he thought of it.

Great Druid above the seventh rank?

Now the strongest of the Dalu tribe is only the fifth rank, 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 "Cursed Valley" in the north of the forest that Yuta had mentioned.

At that time, all the top powerhouses of the Daru tribe died there. Su Lun guessed that the ruins may be the same as the Dawn Ruins, which is a passage to another plane. Then, the fall of a large number of strong people is very likely to form a "cursed space".

In the cursed space, you might be able to meet the former Great Druid.

He was going to find [Mind Flayer], just in time to have a look.

In case there is really room for curse, and the relationship between him and the Daru clan now, the manipulative space will be large.
