Chapter 279: The Sacred Artifacts of the Daru Clan
Not long after the communicator signal was sent out, a response came from Juta.
That Druid lady is indeed here.
Not long after, Su Lun found Jutta in the underground palace.
After asking, Su Lun realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Compared to his own narrow escape experience, Juta's experience was like cheating.
As soon as she entered, she directly felt the protection and guidance of the Yin spirits of the Daru ancestors, and then she entered the depths of the cursed space unimpeded.
What's even more amazing is that while she was walking, she picked up a "holy object".
Then, without encountering any danger, she waited until Su Lun contacted her.
"So, you just picked up the sacred object of your Daru tribe [Dagda's Magic Pot] outside?"
Su Lun looked at the golden artifact floating around Yuta with a strange expression.
There are indeed many treasures in this cursed space...
But almost every time he got one, he risked his life greatly.
Yuta actually "picked up" such a treasure so casually?
This magic pot, which looks like an incense burner or a cauldron, contains colorful liquids. Various elements of red, yellow, blue, and green are mixed together, like a pot of rainbow stewed. It is extremely beautiful.
.
【Dagda's Magic Pot】
Detailed explanation: One of the four holy weapons of the Daru tribe, a divine weapon given by the God of Nature; it improves the user's natural element affinity, magic recovery, and spell penetration to gain a huge increase; the holder has super elemental spell comprehension and natural barrier protection.
The body; this is an instrument for communication with the gods, and devout believers will sense the existence of the gods; only those with natural power can drive it;
The identified attributes are very exaggerated and can allow people to mobilize almost all elements. It can be regarded as an "artifact" for elemental wizards.
However, only the natural power of the Daru tribe can drive it, and others cannot envy it.
What surprised Su Lun even more was that because the magic hair pot was close to him, the coercion of the Druid lady became very strange in his perception, with an ethereal and unpredictable feeling.
"Um."
Jutta nodded timidly.
She looked like a little girl who was afraid of being scolded for doing something wrong. She glanced at Su Lun secretly and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su Lun, I shouldn't have hidden this from you. But this is the closest thing our Daru tribe has to our ancestors."
For once, I I can't give up."
When Su Lun heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
The "Four Sacred Objects" indeed have extraordinary significance to the Daru people, which is related to inheritance and the survival of the ethnic group.
The ancestors of the Daru tribe have been searching for sacred objects for hundreds of years, and their urgency is enough to make them give up their lives.
Su Lun can naturally understand Juta's decision.
What's more, it was thanks to Juta that he survived.
Although there has been no air-to-air conversation in this timeline, if Juta had not come in, the previous "time mystery" might have been a dead end.
"You can tell me directly next time."
Su Lun knew why Yuta hid it from him, so he didn't say anything and reached out to caress her cheek.
After a pause, he asked again: "Then where are you going now?"
Seeing that Su Lun didn't mean to blame her for causing trouble, Jutta blinked and looked very happy.
She smiled and showed her little fangs, and responded: "I plan to go and see what those humans are doing. The heroic souls of our ancestors left their legacy, and they must not be allowed to destroy the seal here."
Hearing this, Su Lun also nodded: "Yes."
Naturally, he also wanted to take a look.
Although he was chased by the sixth-level "beast" Barrett before, he was extremely familiar with this underground palace now. It could be said that even if he was chased again, he would be sure to escape through the terrain.
What's more, with the holy object in Yuta's hand, his combat power is not simple.
Su Lun changed a route and quietly approached the Hall of Valor.
A long way away, he released the black crow and flew over cautiously.
In the field of vision, poisonous corpses are everywhere in the Hall of Heroes, and the poisonous incense burner has disappeared.
It seems that the previous tactics of diverting trouble to the east have brought some trouble to those in the Holy Legion, but not too much.
There are about a hundred people left in that regiment.
Su Lun and Yuta didn't go out, so they hid deep in the corridor.
The destruction of the cursed space is coming to an end, and this is no longer something they can stop.
All they have to do is wait for the opportunity.
"There should be no arms in the coffin. Those guys will probably be shocked when they see it."
Su Lun's left eye reflected the scene that Black Crow saw. He saw that those people had used the decoder to open the rune chains binding the coffin and were opening the store cautiously.
He had been in close contact with the black coffin and knew what state it was supposed to be in. Now that he didn't see the necromantic energy leaking out, he was sure that the arm was definitely not inside.
Therefore, the causes in the past have indeed led to the current effects.
Theoretically, it is possible for two identical items to appear in the same cursed space.
But the premise is that there is enough energy.
And if the "source of the curse" that supports the cursed space, like the [Hundred-Armed Giant King's Arm], is taken away, it will be impossible to have enough curse sources to form a second one.
Sure enough.
The sound of metal friction "click, click, click" resounded through the Hall of Valor, and a man in a windbreaker approached cautiously.
Then, they saw the empty scene in the coffin through the gap.
Immediately, an incredible shout came from the corridor: "How can it be empty?! The seal has not been opened, how come the contents are not there!"
However, before those people could think about it, the surrounding scene began to collapse.
Those people destroyed the seal, and the stability that maintained the entire cursed space was broken, and the space naturally collapsed.
Su Lun watched the surrounding environment change. They were also in an underground maze.
But obviously, the roots around it are more luxuriant.
The scene in the cursed space before was about the timeline of five hundred years ago, but now this is the real world. The air is humid and humid, the corridors are broken and collapsed everywhere, and there are thick moss on the stones.
The roots of the five-hundred-year-old gray elm tree have squeezed and deformed the ruins, wrapping them even more tightly.
If it's not enough, it's a good thing to be out of the cursed space full of dangers just now.
Su Lun's eyes wandered around, re-examining the place where they were staying.
The environment has changed, which means that the previously planned escape route is different.
But at this time, Yuta's expression became very strange, as if he had been greatly shocked and seemed to be out of his mind.
Su Lun thought something was wrong with her and asked: "Is that what you're doing, Juta?"
After hearing the inquiry, Yuta seemed to have come back from his fugue.
"Mr. Sullen! Me me"
For a moment, uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on her face, and she said excitedly: "I seem to have sensed the call of the great God of Nature!"
It has been five hundred years since the Daru tribe ended their inheritance in that battle, and they have never felt the call of the gods again.
Now, she feels it!
“Feel the call of nature?”
Su Lun thought about the information that had been identified before, so it wasn't too surprising.
He saw Yuta's eyes suddenly sparkling, and he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
At least she risked her life and it finally paid off.
However, being happy is one thing. Su Lun couldn't help but look at the magic hair pot floating beside her.
He felt that Yuta's aura was getting more and more ethereal at the moment, like the fourth level, the fifth level, and the sixth level, and it was getting higher and higher.
“What an exaggeration”
Su Lun smiled and narrowed his eyes, murmuring in his heart.
This is the difference between alchemists and followers of gods.
The source of the alchemist's power depends entirely on himself, and his alchemy equipment and cultivation can only be improved step by step with difficulty;
Most of the power of believers in God comes from the gods.
The believers' magic spells are more like prayers, expecting a response from the gods. Just like the Daru people's spells are "The great god of nature is above, please grant me the power of XX elements."
Without a response from the gods, the power of the spell will be very small.
But once you respond, or if you have the blessing of a god, it’s hard to say how powerful it will be.
Yuta sensed the call of the God of Nature, and knelt on the ground with a pious look on his face, muttering some mysterious spells in Daru language.
A magical scene appeared before my eyes.
Green light spots like fireflies suddenly emerged from the knotted roots, floating around Yuta one by one, and then integrated into her body.
Gradually, her body surface also emitted a soft fluorescence, and a surging magic power overflowed.
The magic power gradually echoed with the sacred object [Dagda's Magic Pot] beside her. The magic pot overflowed with colorful luster, and the brilliant colored ribbons were full of luster, as if they were alive.
, lingering around her, lighting up the entire corridor.
Su Lun didn't expect the movement to be so big, so he quickly blocked the energy leakage fluctuations around him.
The Yuta in front of her eyes was shrouded in a green light group, and her aura was getting higher and higher. Her clothes turned into dots and dispersed in the air, and her skin gradually changed from wheat color to amber translucent state.
, as if all dust and impurities were washed away. The force of nature seemed to be washing her marrow.
Su Lun looked at the natural force that obviously did not belong to Yuta, and became more and more curious. He guessed something in his mind: "This is the inheritance method of the Daru tribe? The divine power is truly a magical method."
The vision lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the light on Yuta's body gradually weakened. Her skin color slowly returned to its original state.
But those green lights did not disappear completely, but left a mysterious red totem on her skin. It was on her forehead, cheeks, chest, back, and lower abdomen.
Because of the close relationship, Su Lun didn't have to avoid suspicion.
He looked curiously at the red totem on Juta's naked body.
He himself has a [Eclipse Sun] totem, but compared with this red totem, the difference is too obvious.
"This is a very high-level totem, seventh level? Eighth level? Ninth level?"
Su Lun thought about it for a moment.
Although the totem secrets of the Daru people and the runes in alchemy have different systems, they have some aspects in common.
He could naturally see that the totem of Yuta had a kind of coercion derived from the cover of the law.
At this time, Yuta also opened her eyes suddenly, and an inexplicable majesty like a wolf king looking down on the world emanated from her body.
This momentum made Su Lun frown.
But after a moment, Yuta controlled the leaking aura and returned to his original gentle self.
She looked at Su Lun excitedly, her voice trembling, "Mr. Su Lun, I feel the presence of the great God of Nature!"
"Um."
Su Lun witnessed the whole process and naturally guessed that the power might come from gods.
He smiled and nodded, also happy for Juta.
"We, the Daru tribe, have hope!"
Jutta couldn't help but share her joy, spread her hands, and jumped over.
Su Lun put her arms around the gentle body in her arms and gave her a warm hug.
Yuta buried his head in Su Lun's shoulder, wept with joy, and repeated in his mouth: "God has not abandoned our Daru tribe, I and our Daru tribe can be saved!"
The despair that the entire ethnic group had suppressed for hundreds of years was finally completely released at this moment.
The darkest hour finally passed, and she saw the light of dawn.
Su Lun caressed her smooth back and said lightly, "Well, it will be better in the future."
Jutta suddenly felt the call of the God of Nature, which was a great blessing.
However, this is obviously not the time to talk about this.
Just when Yuta was still immersed in joy and excitement, suddenly, a fierce argument came from deep in the corridor.
Su Lun had been paying attention to this group of people through the black crow, so he naturally knew what was going on.
There seems to be some internal conflict among Lu Ying and the others.
In the real world, the Giant Hall of Valor was buried several deep, and the nine-pointed star on the ground where the coffin was previously turned into a pit like a bottomless pit.
Looking at the black hole, even through the black crow's field of vision, gave Su Lun a palpitating feeling.
It was as if the black hole was connected with the underworld, filled with evil, destruction, and indescribable terror.
At this moment, on both sides of the pothole, two groups of people were confronting each other.
On one side were three men in trench coats, and on the other side were the Holy Judgment Legion of less than a hundred people.
Barrett, the legion commander Su Lun met before, seems to have changed his mind and intends to prevent the seal from being cracked.
"General Barrett, do you know what we are looking for? You are disobeying military orders!"
"No, I don't want to prevent the seal here from being unlocked. But after all, the North Icefield is too far away from the imperial capital, and there may be some errors in the transmission of information. What I mean is that the Queen may not be aware of the situation of this ruins. I think,
The most appropriate way is to seal up the ruins first, and I will personally go to the imperial capital to report before it is too late to excavate the ruins."
"Hmph! Are you questioning our Military Intelligence Office?"
"No, no, no. Yeager, we are all old friends. You know I have not questioned the intentions of your Military Intelligence Office. But I think the matter may involve some factors that are beyond our control at the moment. We should be more cautious.
.”
"you!"
""
Su Lun saw that the dispute between the two parties was getting more and more intense, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that what I said before is not completely useless. That Barrett still has a conscience. Otherwise, these guys really want to break the seal by force.
I really can’t do anything about them.”
However, things are obviously not that easy.
Those guys from the Military Intelligence Department in trench coats didn't give up so easily.
The leader named Yeager suddenly took out a golden lion token: "Barrett, this is the Queen's warrant. It is as if Her Majesty the Queen is here in person."
Sure enough, as soon as this golden order came out, the sergeants of the Holy Judgment Legion suddenly looked at each other. Even Barrett protected his chest with a serious face. The sergeants behind him followed him and half-knelt down towards the order.
A knight's salute, and everyone shouted in unison: "Glory is my life!"
Yeager sneered, holding the golden order and shouted coldly: "The Holy Judgment Legion listens to the order! Send Her Majesty the Queen's secret order and continue to break the seal!"
After hearing this, Barrett still maintained the half-kneeling posture of saluting and did not get up.
He stared at the ground deeply, not knowing what to think about.
The legion commander didn't move, and the sergeants behind him didn't make any move either.
"You guys"
Seeing that this group of people were unmoved, Yeager's face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily: "You disobey the Queen's secret order, do you want to rebel?"
Hearing the harsh word "rebellion", everyone in the Holy Judgment Legion looked ugly.
As royal knights who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, this is the greatest insult to them.
After pondering for a moment, Barrett finally spoke and said in an extremely low voice: "My Holy Legion will always be His Majesty's most loyal guard!"
Hearing this, Yeager's face relaxed.
But at this time, Barrett seemed to have made some decision, and then he said loudly: "But I still insist on my opinion. This ruins must not be unsealed now! As the commander of the Judgment Legion, I have the right to be present.
The commander-in-chief makes the most reasonable contingency decision based on the war situation. This is also the right granted to battlefield commanders by His Majesty and Congress! I also believe that my judgment is beneficial to the empire!"
As soon as he said this, the sergeants behind him immediately responded to their regiment commander and shouted: "Glory is my life!"
Yeager's face became very ugly when he heard that, and he was no longer polite when he spoke: "Barrett, do you know what you are talking about? Disobey the Queen's secret order, you and your subordinates will be sent to a military court, and the crime can be serious.
Die! And you will burn down the hundreds of years of honor of your Adjudication Corps, and even implicate your family and friends in the imperial capital!"
The threat contained in these words was already full.
Betraying royal orders is not as simple as death for a knight.
In the end, your reputation will be ruined, your family will be confiscated, and your family will be exterminated.
But even so, Barrett's eyes were firm and his tone was unwavering: "I know exactly what I'm doing."
In the eyes of outsiders, Barrett is just a rough guy who only knows how to fight.
How can a professional who has advanced to the sixth level not know some secrets?
He has been fighting, sailing, exploring, and excavating ruins all year round, encountering various intelligent races and natives, hearing legends, and knowing a lot of secrets.
His experience is much wider than that of the nobles in the imperial capital who have never been outside.
When he was cursing the space before, Bazel might have just been suspicious.
Now that he saw the trace of high-level chaotic laws leaking out of the black hole, he felt inexplicable palpitations. How could he not have guessed that this situation was completely consistent with what the man in the crow's mouth mask said before?
He knew very well that even if it was not a "God Burial Place", there was still a big problem with this ruins!
He even suspected that something was wrong with the top brass of the Military Intelligence Department.
There is even a problem within the royal family!
This ruin must not be opened until we understand it clearly!
Seeing Barrett's attitude, Yeager's eyes suddenly flashed with cruelty, and he said: "Now I declare that Bazel has disobeyed military orders and has been revoked from his position as commander of the Holy Judgment Legion!"
