Su Lun counted the loot and found that he had made a huge profit.
War has always been a shortcut to riches for the stronger party.
There were hundreds of puppets helping to clear the battlefield very quickly. In a short time, he had collected almost all the loot.
While the traces of the battlefield were being dealt with, a large group of people came to the village 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 strongest soul fire. This is naturally the fourth-level druid Gu.
The old man looked very weak. He was being supported by someone, and freshly crushed herbs were applied to his wounds. When the man came over, there was a strong smell of medicine in the air. It looked like he had been seriously injured in the previous battle.
This group of people came over, and Yuta introduced them formally: "This is Mr. Su Lun, he was the one who defeated the enemy just now."
It was in common language, and only the druids among the Daru tribe could understand it.
The old man from White Deer looked at Su Lun, with excited and sincere gratitude on his face: "On behalf of the entire White Deer tribe, I would like to thank the warrior for his life-saving grace."
As he spoke, he protected his chest with one hand and bowed to Su Lun. The dozens of people behind him also bowed with him.
In front of the elders, Su Lun naturally did not dare to make excuses and responded politely.
Even though the tribe had just suffered a disaster, Su Lun, as a warrior who saved the tribe, received warm hospitality from the Daru people of the White Deer tribe.
I originally planned to spend the night in the forest, but now I am in the village.
Probably because of the need for more people, the young and old in the tribe were not massacred by the slave group this time. But even so, the corpses piled up in mountains, and the village was devastated.
As a guest, Su Lun naturally does not need to help. There are enough manpower in the tribe. The young and strong people of the Deer tribe are cutting down trees to repair the bombed walls of the village. With thick walls, the old and young can safely collect the bodies of their relatives.
To prevent the smell of corpses and blood from attracting predators in the forest
Everyone in the tribe was burned to death, but Su Lun was still placed in the best hut, with barbecue and fruits.
The moonlight is very good tonight, the moonlight is like silver...
Su Lun looked at the fortress in front of him, carving the puppet in his hand, and his thoughts occasionally jumped to other things.
Jutta is beside him.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
The druid experienced two such desperate scenes in a short period of time and was very emotionally unstable.
She didn't dare to look at the clansmen. The moonlight poured into those blue crystal eyes, and the ripples of light shone.
After all, she couldn't hold back the overwhelming emotion. She looked at Su Lun, with tears in her eyes, and asked: "Mr. Su Lun, why are human beings so cruel? We can obviously live in peace."
Su Lun didn't know how to answer.
Thinking about it, he reached out and touched Yuta's head, comforting the white wolf girl who was crying into tears.
Yuta threw herself into his arms and Taotao burst into tears.
Early the next morning, Su Lunhe and Juta continued on the road.
The White Deer tribe sent a team of young men to escort them a long way, and did not return until the sun set.
The current situation of the Daru tribe as a whole is very bad.
The slave-catching group discovered the location, and other slave-catching groups will definitely come next time.
The White Deer tribe must also migrate.
The Silent Forest is huge, but there are not many places they can choose.
This is already deep in the forest, and if you retreat further, you will reach the Holy Lake.
The Daru people believe in the God of Nature, and their life is almost in the most primitive state. Their source of food is hunting and gathering. 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. If a tribe's population exceeds the upper limit that an area can support, some of them will have to be divided to open up new hunting areas and form new tribes.
But now the living space is constantly being compressed and the population is plummeting. If this continues, the survival of the ethnic group will also be a big problem.
Suellen also asked Jutta why they didn't migrate further.
She said that there is something in the holy lake that the Daru tribe must protect.
The journey for the next few days went smoothly.
As a druid, Juta could understand some of the languages of birds and beasts. With her leading the way, the two of them avoided some dangerous areas where high-level monsters were infested.
Although he encountered several attacks, he reached the deepest part of the Silent Forest without any danger.
There are water resources as abundant as veins in the Silent Forest. Even in the cold north, there are also large rivers that remain ice-free all year round.
On this day, after landing in a mountainous area, the two got a small boat and drifted eastward along a river called "Lunas River" by the Daru people.
The two of them looked very relaxed while rafting on the clear river.
Juta was in charge of rowing the boat, while Suellen was still focused on tinkering with his puppet.
The two also formed a tacit understanding along the way. Occasionally they would chat for a while, and Jutta would introduce him to the strange creatures in the forest.
Unconsciously, it had been half a day on the boat when Juta suddenly spoke: "Mr. Sullen, we are almost there!"
Su Lun finally came back from his immersion and saw a pretty face.
After traveling for a few days, the Druid lady's mood gradually recovered, and she regained her innocent smile.
Yuta sighed with emotion: "Mr. Su Lun, you are really working hard, no wonder you are so good."
Su Lun smiled and looked around, "Are we here?"
He saw that the forest around him was no different from before, and he felt a little surprised. Is this the legendary "Emerald Holy Land" of the Zhongting Tribe of the Daru Tribe?
It didn't seem to be any different, and I didn't see any other Daru people.
"Um!"
Yuta nodded seriously, turned back and pointed in the direction of the bow of the ship, "Over there~"
Su Lun then looked beyond Yuta's body and saw the river ahead.
"Hey, is that a waterfall?"
His eyesight was very good, so when he saw the river suddenly stopped flowing, a thin line formed at the end of his field of vision.
After listening carefully, the "rumbling" sound of water gradually became apparent in my ears.
Listening to the movement, the waterfall seems to have a big drop.
"Yeah, this is the shortest way!"
Juta's face was filled with anticipation, "Since I became a Druid, I haven't been to the Holy Lake for two years."
Su Lun looked a little curious. It was like riding a roller coaster, suddenly reaching the highest point, but unable to see the situation below. No matter what, there was a trace of nervousness due to the unknown.
Seeing that Jutta had no intention of stopping the boat, he asked, "Are we going to jump off the waterfall?"
A sly smile appeared on Yuta's lips, "Mr. Su Lun, please hold on tight to me~"
When Su Lun heard this, his eyebrows curved slightly.
He also stood up and looked into the distance. The waterfall was getting closer and closer, the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster, and the roaring in his ears was so loud that he could not hear clearly what he was saying.
Approaching the break of the river, Su Lun finally saw clearly the shocking and spectacular scenery in front of him, and unconsciously murmured: "It's really the Emerald Holy Land!"
The maps Su Lun bought on the black market and the Adventurer's Guild before were all adventure maps on the outskirts of the Silent Forest. He didn't know that there was such an incredible spectacle deep in the forest.
It's like a huge meteorite fell and created 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 most of the vegetation is coniferous forest, such as various fir trees and fir trees, covered with frost and snow, and is gray and white. But under the waterfall, there is a vibrant green, the climate
pleasant.
Viewed from the air, it looks like a piece of emerald embedded in the gray earth.
Before Sulendo could appreciate the scenery in front of him, the boat the two of them were on began a free fall from the waterfall.
Jutta grabbed Su Lun's hand and laughed happily, with a cheerful and naughty smile on his face, "Hahahaha Mr. Su Lun, you know, my favorite thing when I was a kid was jumping into waterfalls."
Su Lun smiled slightly when he heard this. Looking at the waterfall with a height of several hundred meters, his eyes flashed with splendor. Falling freely in the air, he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
After a few breaths, he fell into the water with a "plop".
The sound of "gulu" water filling reached my ears.
Jutta did not rush out of the water, but took Su Lun and swam far into the water.
After the rapid waterfall water flows into the forest, it becomes gentle.
The water is exceptionally clear. When you open your eyes underwater, you can clearly see the underwater world.
There were swaying aquatic plants in the water, and their roots were clearly visible; small red fish playfully followed the two uninvited guests; the green shrimps were frightened and retreated quickly.
Su Lun dived in the water, and the joy in his heart became clearer and clearer.
It was like the depression that had accumulated for countless days was now washed away by the clear river water.
Only then did he realize that he had never observed the beauty of nature so carefully before in this world.
At this moment, thousands of pores felt relieved.
Su Lun tilted his head slightly and looked at a pretty face with a bright smile.
Jutta pointed to the water.
The two of them got out of the water and landed on the shore.
This is a quiet deep forest, with the chirping of birds in your ears and the fragrance of flowers in your nose. It is like a forest path in summer, with mottled tree shadows on the ground, the temperature is just right and warm, and there is a breeze blowing on your face.
There are moss-covered stone slabs under your feet, extending deep into the dense forest. There are two ancient stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns beside the road. They look like the torii gates in front of the Japanese shrines in Su Lun's previous life. The soil is not easy to detect.
In the pile, there are several pottery pots used for sacrificial rituals. They all look to be a little old, and the years have left mottled marks on them.
Sulendo took a look.
The runes of alchemy are very different from the prohibition system of the Daru tribe, but he also saw that the carvings on the stone pillar contained some high-level laws.
Yuta saw that he was interested again, so he introduced: "That is the 'sacrificial pillar', which is specially built for the residence of the elves who protect this forest. It can ward off disasters and pray for blessings. It is also a barrier blessed by the gods. It will block all attacks on me.
There are malicious people in our Daru tribe.”
After a pause, she greeted: "Let's go, Mr. Su Lun."
"Um."
Sulendo took one look and then walked up.
Passing through the two twigs, it was like passing through an invisible barrier. After walking a few steps, several people wearing animal skins suddenly appeared from the trees.
Several people looked down from a high position, saw the person coming clearly, and shouted excitedly: "Sister Juta!"
Yuta obviously knew them too, and greeted them cheerfully: "Kora, you are the ones patrolling today."
"Yeah! Sister Yuta, why did you come to the Holy Land?"
The girl named Kola is a girl from the rabbit tribe. She looks young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. She holds a bow and arrow, and has a quiver on her back, as if she is patrolling. She is followed by several others of the same age.
Daru boys and girls.
Several people jumped down, and they also saw Su Lun, a human being, and everyone's eyes immediately showed caution and alertness.
Cora 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 vigilance in the eyes of several half-grown children when they looked at Su Lun did not diminish at all.
Several children started talking and talking.
"There have been a lot of slave catchers in the forest recently. The 'Green Tiger Tribe' and 'Black Bear Tribe' in the north were attacked by those hateful humans, and many tribesmen died."
"Yes, Sister Yuta, humans are not trustworthy. Recently, humans have been waiting for us, and they have been testing the outskirts of the Holy Land."
"I heard that there are humans who are plotting against the ancient city of the 'Cursed Valley'"
""
Su Lun stood aside, listening to Yuta and the small patrol team communicating in Daru, but he didn't understand a few words.
But just by looking at them, you can tell that these little brats don’t seem to welcome humans into the place.
Juta heard some of the bad news and knew what they were worried about, and patiently explained: "Mr. Sullen is different, he is the 'prophesied warrior'."
Hearing this, Nakola was surprised and said: "Ah? Another prophesied warrior has come? But one already came yesterday. The elders were very happy and convened to welcome that human being."
When Yuta heard this, he frowned and immediately asked: "A human being is here?"
"yes."
Cora said: "That human saved the 'Frost Fox Tribe' during the roundup by the slave catchers and brought back the sacred objects. The elders all said that she was the warrior in the prophecy."
Having said this, she looked at Su Lun with suspicion and said worriedly: "Sister Yuta, don't be deceived by this human being. The elders said that human beings are very cunning and can lie better than foxes."
Hearing this, Yuta was immediately shocked, "That human brought back a sacred object?"
"Um!"
Cora responded, "It's the [Spear Brionak]. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday."
Hearing this, Yuta was also surprised.
She originally thought that Mr. Su Lun next to her would be a prophecy person, but she didn't expect that it seemed not?
"The warriors who follow the ancient contract will save their people and bring back the sacred objects." Does this prophecy refer to someone else?
But what about the oath?
Mr. Su Lun said that he is the heir of the Isaac family.
For a moment, Juta felt very conflicted.
However, it is a good thing after all that the sacred object has been recovered.
Su Lun looked at Yuta's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Juta did not doubt Su Lun at all, and directly translated the previous conversation.
Su Lun was also very surprised when he heard this, "Someone came with a holy object?"
When he heard this, he immediately thought it was strange.
The oath back then was signed by Sir Isaac and the ancestors of the Daru tribe. The "warrior who abides by the oath" mentioned in the prophecy most likely refers to Mr. Mirror.
Now another one is here, what's going on?
If Su Lun hadn't known Mr. Jing very well and knew that Isaac only had two daughters, he would have even suspected that there were other descendants of Isaac's lineage.
So, what's going on now?
I also brought back a sacred object, which seems to be more in line with the prophecy.
Juta didn't think it through either, and his face was full of doubts.
However, in her opinion, it doesn't matter whether Su Lun is the "person in the prophecy" or not.
He has saved himself and his people many times, this is a fact.
She called Su Lun and said, "Let's go, Mr. Su Lun, let's go see the clan leader."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded and didn't think much about it.
He is here to deliver words and cure illnesses. As for the prophesied warrior, it doesn’t seem to matter who he is.
The Daru people have been passed down for countless years, so there is little chance of being deceived.
