Suellen and Juta were walking along the forest path, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.
Here you can see a layer of green with a strong sense of depth, fresh green, light green, and dark green.
If you look at the flowers and plants in the forest with your all-seeing eye, you can see that many of them are very scarce or even extinct. Only the alchemy materials are recorded in the classics.
Su Lun was very curious about what he saw, and Yuta enthusiastically introduced him all the way.
The two of them walked along the bluestone slabs deep into the forest. After walking for several kilometers, their vision suddenly became clearer.
Only then did Su Lun find that he had walked out of the forest and was standing on a small slope with green grass.
The sight is green, dotted with some colorful little flowers. The breeze blows on your face, and your nose is filled with the fresh fragrance that soothes the pores. A winding river flows in front of you. What is surprising is that the sunlight is reflected on the river.
The scales are sparkling, reflecting colorful luster.
There are huge trees next to the river, and there are small wooden houses with triangular roofs on the trees, row after row, like dwarves' cabins in fairy tales.
Children of the Daru ethnic group are playing on the grass by the river.
A peaceful scene.
It’s as if all the beauty in the world is within your eyes.
Su Lun's eyes froze for a moment.
Yuta looked at everything familiar, and a happy smile appeared in his crystal eyes: "Mr. Su Lun, we are here."
Su Lun nodded. Such beautiful scenery seemed to have washed away all the filth in his mind, and even the restless emotions in his heart had calmed down.
He felt the ethereal feeling carefully and murmured in his heart: "Is this the 'law of nature'?"
Su Lun thought and took off the clown mask on his face.
This time, those restless emotions were actually at peace.
The news that Juta and the two entered the Holy Land had long been spread to the Atrium Tribe by the patrolling sentries.
As soon as they walked out of the forest, a group of half-grown Daru children ran over from a distance, including wolves, bears, tigers and leopards, and others. They shouted: "Sister Yuta!"
Jutta seems to be very popular in the tribe, and many people know her.
She also waved happily towards the group of children...
Putting down her hands, she explained to Su Lun with a crooked smile on her eyebrows: "If you want to become a qualified Druid, you must receive the teachings of the elders in the Midgard Tribe for a long time. I was here when I was very young.
Life, I just left two years ago.”
After a pause, she pointed to the young men and said, "They are all trainee druids sent to the Holy Land by various tribes to study."
After listening to this, Su Lun also understood why he sensed that the soul fire of these children was so strong. Most of them were at the second level, or even the third level. It was much higher than the average of the demi-humans who met the White Deer Tribe before.
.
In the blink of an eye, the group of half-grown men rushed up to the two people. While welcoming Yuta warmly, they also looked at Su Lun, a human being, with caution and wariness from the corner of their eyes.
Su Lun noticed it and didn't mind, with a friendly smile on his face.
Yuta naturally knew that the tribe was not very welcoming to humans, so she introduced her seriously: "This is Mr. Su Lun, my savior. He also saved the White Deer Tribe."
After saying this, the gleam in the eyes of these Daru children became less piercing.
But before she finished speaking, the leading wolf boy saw the wolf talisman hanging around Su Lun's neck. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Sister, you gave away your wolf clan."
This human?"
When Yuta heard this, she didn't know what she thought of, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She smiled softly and responded with something: "%...%*."
They communicated in Daru, but Su Lun didn't understand.
But at this moment, he clearly felt that the eyes that were originally softened suddenly became hot and angry.
Su Lun felt a little confused. What exactly did Yuta say? Why did these boys suddenly become hostile?
Yuta did not translate the conversation just now. She just smiled and introduced the leading wolf boy who looked the most hostile to Su Lun, and said: "Mr. Su Lun, this is my brother Aku."
Su Lun asked curiously: "Brother?"
"Um."
Jutta had a doting look on his face, "He is just a naughty and mischievous guy, don't mind."
When Su Lun heard these words, he took a closer look.
My sister is good-looking, and this wolf boy is also very handsome, but he still has a childish look on his face.
Hearing what his sister said, Aku looked like a thorn in his side and said with dissatisfaction: "Human, do you dare to fight with me?!"
As soon as he said this, the energetic tiger and leopard demi-human boys behind him also roared out eagerly.
The druids of the Daru tribe all learn the common language of mankind. These trainee druids cannot speak it very fluently, but they can express their emotions clearly.
Su Lun also understood that these guys wanted to beat him up.
But, why?
He felt a little baffled and didn't know why he provoked these little druids.
Before Su Lun had time to ask, Yuta on the side interrupted, stared at these little brats, and scolded angrily: "Aku, Gale, please stop making trouble. Mr. Su Lun is very powerful, you just add
Together, we can't beat them."
Su Lun glanced at her. This way of breaking up the fight seemed to add fuel to the fire?
Sure enough, the anger in the eyes of a group of teenagers became even stronger, and they clamored for a duel on the spot.
Aku was not convinced and said: "Hmph, how is that possible! I am the number one warrior of the White Wolf clan in the future! I must let this human being know how powerful I am!"
Yuta rolled her eyes at him, and in a disdainful tone unique to her own sister, she mocked: "You can't even beat me, and you still want to fight Mr. Sullen?"
These sentences were all spoken in common language, and Su Lun could understand them clearly. He glanced at Jutta out of the corner of his eye, and felt something was strange.
But Yuta looked unconcerned, as if this was a custom among the Daru tribe, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, they are a bunch of little brats. Sometimes they will behave after a good beating."
""
Su Lun felt a little helpless when he heard this, and didn't really want to beat these little brats.
After a pause, she blinked and added meaningfully, "In our Daru tribe, Aku is the king of children. If you beat him up, Mr. Su Lun will save a lot of trouble~"
""
Listening to this, Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry.
As a sister, how much do you want your brother to be beaten?
With sister Yuta blocking her, the fight never ended.
However, more and more Daru people are watching Su Lun, a human being.
There are more teenagers who want to challenge him for a duel.
Su Lun also realized that it seemed to be the reason for the wolf claw amulet given to him by Yuta?
There's nothing wrong with Jutta, so of course he doesn't mind either.
At this time, from a village by the river, an acquaintance of Su Lun came up to him and greeted him from a distance: "Mr. Su Lun, it's been a long time."
Su Lun recognized him immediately when he saw it: "Elder Pasu!"
This, surprisingly, is the elder of the Bear Tribe who was among the slaves that he bought at the auction in Kadurante Port.
He had previously been worried about what happened to the group of Daru tribesmen returning from crossing the sea. Now that he saw the people, he was inexplicably relieved.
Pasu greeted him warmly: "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
As he spoke, he said to the Daru people surrounding him: "This is the human warrior who saved me and my people before, Mr. Su Lun."
After saying this, Su Lun felt that the eyes in the crowd softened again.
Many older Daru people smiled kindly at him, and Su Lun responded politely.
After the introduction, Pasu added: "Mr. Su Lun, we will talk about old times later. The clan leader and elders know that you are coming and are waiting for you."
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
When he came, he really had to take care of business first, send a message to Mr. Jing, and also ask about the clan leader's mental aberration.
The group of people walked towards the village.
After crossing the colorful river on the shallow rock beach, there is a forest of sulfur trees. Most of them are elm and ash trees. They are not densely packed, but they are very huge. On the giant trees surrounded by dozens of people, there are flowers like
Colorful mushroom-like tree house.
Su Lun looked at the house, and there were heads poking out, curiously looking at the humans.
Almost all the Daru people in the Emerald Holy Land have never seen a human being in their lives.
Oh, no, it was before yesterday.
There is the second one in front of me.
Su Lun has also been thinking about who the warrior predicted by the Daru tribe will be.
As I was walking, I bumped into him.
There are not many artificial buildings in the tree house village, at most there are some stone paved paths and seats.
But in the center of the village, there are several large stone monuments.
Each of the stone tablets is as big as a dozen blackboards.
Because it was so long ago, the stone monument was covered with moss and vines.
At this moment, a man in a red cloak was standing in front of the stone tablet, looking at the inscription carefully.
Even if it was just a back view, Su Lun could recognize it as a human being at a glance.
Because the Daru people wear animal skin clothing, but the red cloak is a high-end textile in the human world.
However, what is even more coincidental is that Su Lun also knows the person who passed on the cloak!
The crowd walked past, and the noise made the cloaked man who was carefully studying the inscription turn his head.
It was a little girl with two big flaxen braids and freckles on her face.
"Katyusha?"
Su Lun had been thinking about who would be the "prophetic person" of the Daru tribe. He never expected that it would be the noble lady who returned the ring and gave him a [Star Amulet].
Katyusha also saw Su Lun, and she seemed to be seeing a human being in her eyes, and she was a little surprised.
But in an instant, she seemed to recognize something.
Although Su Lun didn't wear the mask, the aura on her body and the amulet around her waist felt very familiar to her, so she tentatively asked: "Mr. Nicholas?"
Su Lun looked at her and recognized him, so he didn't pretend not to recognize him and responded: "Miss Katyusha, why are you here?"
Listening to his response, Katyusha's crystal eyes immediately lit up, as if she was excited to meet an old friend in a foreign land, "Ah, it's really you!"
She trotted over happily and said: "My family guards and I came to the forest to look for meteorites, and then we met the Daru tribe's slave capture team by chance. By chance, I helped a little bit. Then, they
Invited me to be a guest here.”
Su Lun also suddenly realized that this was the case.
He naturally knew that this girl came to the ice sheet to look for meteorites. There were many slave-catching teams in the forest, so it would not be surprising to encounter her.
Katyusha seemed very excited when she met an acquaintance, but suddenly her expression was startled.
She seemed to have remembered something embarrassing, a blush instantly appeared on her white neck, and she asked weakly: "Last time I was drunk, Mr. Nicholas, please send me back. I didn't do anything too bad."
Is it something rude?"
Su Lun smiled and shook his head, which was considered a response.
Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Yuta, Pasu and all the Daru people were also surprised.
It turns out that the two "warriors" knew each other?
Juta was very familiar with Su Lun, so she asked directly: "Mr. Su Lun, do you know him?"
Su Lun nodded, "Well, I've seen him twice before in Blizzard City."
Jutta: "Oh."
Katyusha blinked when she heard this title, as if she was very curious about the name "Su Lun".
Su Lun didn't explain much and laughed dryly.
I have so many enemies that I am used to using pseudonyms and anonymity.
He added: "Wait for me to go to the clan leader's place, and we'll talk about it later."
Katyusha nodded politely, "Okay."
Before taking two steps, Katyusha went to the stone tablet again, seemingly intending to continue studying the words on it.
Surendo took a look and saw that those strange symbols were Daruwen.
Can Katyusha read Daruvan?
And you look at it with gusto?
Probably aware of his gaze, Katyusha explained with excitement on her face: "This is [Ossian's poem]! O'Siang was once one of the greatest troubadours of the Daru tribe and even the entire continent.
He once traveled in the human world and left behind many beautiful poems. My family is also lucky enough to collect some fragments. I didn’t expect that there are complete poems here!”
She said, like a fanatical little girl, not shy about her praise: "Oh, these poems are simply wonderful. Mr. Nicholas, when you are done, I will read them to you and it will definitely make the world better."
The most enjoyable experience ever.”
"Um!"
Su Lun nodded.
It turns out that what was recorded on the stone tablet was poetry.
On the way here, Su Lun also learned a lot about the customs of the Daru people through Yuta.
One of the unique features of the Daru people is that although they have writing, their inheritance, especially their magic, is not recorded in any classics.
In their words, previous text analysis can indeed allow us to quickly understand an abstract concept, but it also limits our vision and solidifies certain ideas. People's experiences are different, and the world they perceive is different.
It's not the same, even if you look at the same text, your understanding will be different.
The Daru people believe that everything they have is given by God, and magic spells recorded through writing must be misinterpreted. Only by "not establishing writing" can we get closer to God's will.
This is also the most important reason why after their "Battle of the Cursed Valley", no one among the high-level druid warriors could communicate with the gods anymore, and they were directly passed down through generations.
It sounds incredible, even a bit "superstitious", but there were many top powerhouses in the Daru tribe at one time, which means that this inheritance method must be "reasonable" to some extent.
Su Lun speculated that the "oracle" might be an existence like a perception, which could only be understood but not expressed in words.
But there is only one exception, and that is poetry.
Poetry is not a partial literary skill, but one of the rules that can truly condense the divine personality.
The God of Nature believed by the Daru people is said to be a high-level deity who embodies the three divine personalities of nature, poetry, and peace.
Su Lun didn't understand the difference between these gods for the time being, but listening to Yuta's description, the God of Nature seemed to be of a much higher level than the fallen angel in Dawn City.
Because of this belief, the Daru people have historically been an intelligent race rich in minstrels.
Almost all the top warriors of the Daru tribe are poets!
Although Su Lun does not understand poetry, he also knows from classics that the nature of the poetry created by top bards is no different from "intense secrets" and contains certain special rules.
[Essian's Poems] He also heard Mr. Jing mention that its value is not even as low as [Isaac's Alchemy Notes].
These stone tablets of the Daru tribe in front of us are truly priceless treasures.
But Su Lun was also curious. Katyusha actually knew Daru?
Although I met him more than once, she also made it clear why she came there.
Everything is perfect like a story.
Su Lun always felt that this noble lady felt more and more mysterious.
