Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun and Uta strolled along the forest path, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.

Here is a layer of green with a strong sense of hierarchy, fresh green, light green, dark green.

Looking at the flowers and plants in the forest with omniscient eyes, I can still find that many of them are rare, or even extinct, alchemy materials that are only recorded in ancient books.

Su Lun was very curious, and Uta enthusiastically introduced him along the way.

The two walked along the bluestone slab all the way to the depths of the forest. After walking for about a few kilometers, their vision suddenly became clear.

Only then did Su Lun realize that they had walked out of the forest and stood on a small slope full of shallow grass.

The eyes are emerald green, dotted with some colorful small flowers. The breeze is blowing on the face, and there is a faint and elegant fragrance in the nose, which makes the pores comfortable. Under the hillside, a small meandering river flows in front of you. What is surprising is that the sun is shining on the river surface, and the scales are shining, reflecting colorful luster.

There are giant trees beside the river, and there are small wooden houses with triangular roofs on the trees, row upon row, like the huts of dwarves in fairy tales.

The children of the Dalu ethnic group were playing on the grass by the river, and their laughter filled their ears.

A peaceful scene.

It seems that all the beauty of the world is in the eyes.

Su Lun's gaze froze for a moment.

Juta looked at the familiar things, with a happy smile in his crystal eyes: "Mr. Su Lun, we are here."

Su Lun nodded. Such beautiful scenery seemed to wash away all the filth in his heart, and even the restless emotions in his heart were calmed down.

He carefully felt the illusory feeling, and murmured in his heart: "Is this the 'Law of Nature'?"

Thinking about it, Su Lun took off the clown mask on his face.

The breeze was blowing.

The news that the two of Uta had entered the Holy Land had already been spread to the Tribe of the Atrium by the patrolling sentinels.

As soon as they walked out of the forest, a group of half-grown Dalu children ran over from afar, including wolves, bears, tigers and leopards, and others. They shouted loudly: "Sister Uta!"

Uta seems to be well-known in the tribe, and many people know her.

She also happily waved her hand towards the group of half-sized boys.

Putting down her hands, she explained to Su Lun with a crooked smile on her brows: "If you want to become a qualified druid, you must have been taught by the elders for a long time in the Zhongting tribe. I lived here and only left two years ago.”

After a pause, she pointed to those half-children and said, "They are all apprentice druids sent to the Holy Land by various tribes."

After hearing this, Su Lun understood why the fire of these children's souls was so strong in his perception. Most of them are second-order, or even third-order. He was much taller than the average demi-humans who had encountered the White Deer Tribe before.

In the blink of an eye, the group of half-sized boys ran up to the two of them.

While welcoming Uta warmly, they also looked at Su Lun, a human being, from the corner of their eyes full of caution and alertness.

Su Lun noticed it and didn't mind, with a friendly smile on his face.

Yuta naturally knew that the people of the tribe did not welcome humans, so she introduced it seriously: "This is Mr. Su Lun, my savior, and he also saved the White Deer Tribe."

This said, the light in the eyes of these Dalu children is not so piercing.

But before she finished speaking, the leading wolf boy saw the wolf amulet hanging around Su Lun's neck, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Sister, did you give the wolf claws of your life to me?" This human?"

When Yuta heard it, she didn't know what to think of, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She smiled softly, and responded with something: "%\u0026...%\u0026*."

They communicated in Daru, which Su Lun didn't understand.

But at this moment, he clearly felt the eyes that had been softened before suddenly became hot and angry.

Su Lun felt a little baffled, what did Uta say, why did this group of boys suddenly become hostile?

Uta didn't translate the conversation just now, she just smiled and introduced the leader, the most hostile wolf boy, to Su Lun, and said, "Mr. Su Lun, this is my brother Aku."

Su Lun asked curiously, "Brother?"

"Um."

Uta had a doting expression on his face, "He's just a mischievous guy, don't mind."

When Su Lun heard this, he took a closer look.

My sister is good-looking, and this wolf boy is also very handsome, but there is still a little childishness on his face.

Hearing what his sister said, Aku looked like a thorn, and said with dissatisfaction on his face: "Human, do you dare to fight with me?!"

As soon as the words came out, the energetic tiger and leopard demi-human boys behind him also eagerly roared out one by one.

The druids of the Daru tribe all learn the common language of mankind. These apprentice druids can't speak too fluently, but they can express their emotions clearly.

Su Lun also understood that these guys wanted to beat him up?

He felt a little baffled, and he didn't know why he provoked these little druids.

Before Su Lun had time to ask, Yuta on the side interjected, staring at the group of brats, and scolded angrily: "Aku, Gail, please stop making trouble. Mr. Su Lun is very powerful, you just add Together, we can't beat it."

Su Lun glanced at her. This way of persuading the fight seemed to add fuel to the fire?

If not, the anger in the eyes of a group of teenagers grew stronger when they heard it, and they clamored for a duel on the spot.

Aku was also unconvinced: "Hmph, how is it 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!"

Uta gave him a blank look, and taunted him in a disdainful tone exclusive to her own sister: "You can't even beat me, and you still want to fight Mr. Su Lun?"

These few words were spoken in common language, and Su Lun could understand them.

He glanced at Yuta from the corner of his eye, and always felt that it was strange for her to try to persuade her to fight.

But Uta didn't care about it, as if it was a custom in the Dalu tribe, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, a bunch of brats. Sometimes they will be good if you beat them up."

"."

Su Lun felt a little helpless when he heard that, and didn't even think about hitting these little kids.

After a pause, she blinked and added meaningfully, "Aku is the king of children among our Dalu tribe. Beating him up will save you a lot of trouble, Mr. Su Lun~"

"."

Hearing this, Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry.

As an older sister, how much do you want your younger brother to be beaten?

With sister Uta blocking her, the fight failed after all.

However, there are more and more Daru tribe watching Su Lun, a human being.

There are more teenagers who want to challenge him to a duel.

Su Lun also realized that it seemed to be the reason for the wolf claw amulet that Uta gave him?

Uta is fine, and he naturally doesn't mind.

At this time, an acquaintance of Su Lun greeted him from the village by the river, and greeted him from a long distance away: "Mr. Su Lun, long time no see."

Su Lun recognized it immediately: "Elder Pasu!"

This one is obviously the elder of the bear tribe who bought the slaves at the Kadurant port auction earlier.

He was also inexplicably relieved when he saw the Dalu people who had come back from crossing the sea and encountered some accidents.

Pasu greeted him warmly and said, "I didn't expect that we would meet again."

As he spoke, he said to the Daru people who surrounded 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 of the crowd softened again.

Many older Dalu people smiled kindly at him, and Su Lun also responded politely.

After Pasu's introduction, he said, "Mr. Su Lun, I will talk about the past later. The patriarch and elders know you are coming and are waiting for you."

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

When he comes here, he really has to do business first, take a message to Mr. Jing, and ask the patriarch about his mental distortion by the way.

A group of people walked towards the village.

Stepping on the shallow rocky beach and crossing the colorful river, there is a sur forest here, mostly elms and ash trees, not densely packed, but very huge. On the giant trees surrounded by dozens of people, there are small tree houses that look like colorful mushrooms.

Su Lun looked into the house, and poked out heads, curiously looking at him as a human being.

Almost all of the Dalu people in the Emerald Holy Land have never seen a human being in their entire lives.

Oh no, yes before yesterday.

Now it's the second one.

Su Lun has also been thinking about who the warrior in the Dalu tribe's prophecy would be.

I didn't want to walk and walk, but I bumped into it.

There are not many artificial buildings in the tree house village, at most there are some stone-paved paths.

But in the center of the village, there are several very conspicuous big black stone tablets.

Each of the stone tablets is as big as a dozen blackboards.

Because the age is too long, the stone tablet is covered with moss and vines.

At this moment, a man in a red cloak was standing in front of the stele, carefully looking at the inscription.

Even if it was just from the back, Su Lun recognized it as a human being at a glance.

Because the Dalu people wear animal skins, but the red cloak is a high-end textile in the human world.

However, even more coincidentally, Su Lun knew the person who passed on the cloak again!

The crowd passed by, and the noise made the cloaked man who was studying the inscription carefully turn his head.

It was a little girl with two big flaxen braids and freckles on her face.

"Katyusha?"

Su Lun had been thinking all the way about who would be the "man of prophecy" of the Dalu tribe, but he never expected that it would be the noble lady who returned the ring and gave him a [star talisman].

Katyusha also saw Su Lun, and she seemed surprised to see a human being in her eyes.

After looking at it for a moment, she seemed to recognize something.

Although Su Lun didn't wear a mask, the aura on her body and the amulet around her waist made her feel very familiar, so she asked tentatively, "Mr. Nicholas?"

Su Lun looked at her and recognized him, and he didn't pretend not to know him, and responded, "Miss Katyusha, why are you here?"

When Katyusha heard his response, her eyes lit up immediately, like the excitement of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, "Ah, it's really you!"

She trotted over cheerfully and chirped like a magpie: "My family guards and I came to the forest to look for meteorites, and then we met the Dalu tribe and were captured by the slave team. Coincidentally, I helped a little Busy. Then, they invited me to come here as a guest”

Su Lun was also surprised when he heard it, it turned out to be the case.

He naturally knew that the girl had come to the ice field to look for meteorites. There are many slave catchers in the forest, so it is not surprising to encounter them.

When meeting an acquaintance, Katyusha looked very excited, but was suddenly taken aback.

She seemed to remember something embarrassing, and a blush appeared on her snow-white neck, and she asked weakly: "I was drunk last time, please send me back, Mr. Nicholas. That... I didn't do anything Is it too rude?"

Su Lun smiled and shook his head as a response.

Seeing that the two knew each other, Yuta, Pasu, and a group of Dalu people were also surprised.

So the two "warriors" knew each other?

Youta and Su Lun are very familiar, she asked directly: "Mr. Su Lun, do you know each other?"

Su Lun nodded, "Well, I've seen it twice in Blizzard City before."

Utta: "Oh."

When Katyusha heard the name, she blinked, as if she was curious about the name "Su Lun".

Su Lun didn't explain much, and laughed dryly.

There are too many enemies, and I am used to using pseudonyms.

He said again: "Wait for me to go to the patriarch's side, let's talk about it later."

Katyusha nodded politely, "Okay."

After not taking two steps, Katyusha went to the stele again, as if intending to continue studying the writing on it.

Surendo took a look, and those strange symbols were Daruwen.

Can Katyusha understand Daruwen?

And look with relish?

Probably aware of his gaze, Katyusha wanted to share her joy, and introduced with a small face full of excitement: "Mr. Nicholas, this is [Poetry of Ossiang]! One of the greatest troubadours in the mainland, he once traveled in the human world and left behind a lot of beautiful poems. My family is also fortunate to have some fragments in the collection. I didn't expect that there are complete poems here!"

She said, like a fanatical little girl, not stingy with her praise: "Oh, these poems are simply wonderful. Mr. Nicholas, after you are busy, I will read you these wonderful poems. It will be the most enjoyable experience in the world.”

"Um."

Su Lun nodded.

It was only then that it suddenly dawned on me that what was recorded on the stele was poetry.

On the way here, Su Lun also learned a lot about the customs of the Dalu people through Youta.

One of the most distinctive features of the Dalu people is that although they have writing, their inheritance, especially spells, is not recorded in any classics.

In their words, the text analysis of the predecessors can indeed allow future generations to quickly understand an abstract concept, but it also limits the field of vision and solidifies certain ideas.

People have different insights and perceive different worlds, even if they read the same piece of text, they understand different things.

The Daru people believe that everything they have is bestowed by the gods, and spells and spells that are recorded in writing must be misinterpreted, and only by "not writing" can they approach God's will.

This is also the most important reason why no one of the high-level druid warriors could communicate with the gods after the "Battle of the Cursed Valley", and they passed on directly.

It sounds incredible, even a little "superstitious". But there used to be quite a few top powerhouses of the Dalu tribe, that is to say, the existence of this inheritance method must be "reasonable" to some extent.

Su Lun speculated that the "Oracle" might exist like a perception, which can 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 godhead.

The God of Nature believed by the Dalu people is said to be a high-level deity who combines the three godheads of nature, poetry and peace.

Su Lun didn't understand the difference between these gods for the time being, but after listening to Uta's description, the God of Nature seemed to be of a much higher rank than the fallen angel in Dawn City.

Also because of this belief, the Daru people have historically been an intelligent race rich in troubadours.

The top powerhouses of the Dalu tribe are almost all great poets!

Although Su Lun didn't understand poetry, he also knew from the classics that the essence of poetry created by top troubadours was no different from the "secret manuals" in the field of alchemy, and contained certain special rules and spells.

[Osian’s Poetry] He also listened to Mr. Jing’s mention that in some fields, the value of this poem is not even lower than [Isaac’s Alchemy Notes].

The steles of the Dalu people in front of them are truly priceless treasures.

Su Lun was not surprised that there was something in the sacred place of the Dalu tribe. What he was even more curious about was that Katyusha could understand the Daru script?

Although I have seen this little girl more than once, my impression is not bad.

Her reason is also clear.

But all causes and effects are perfect like a story.

Su Lun's impression of this noble lady was not only unclear, but even more hazy and mysterious.
