Chapter 1 The Intense Battle

The battle in the Unicorwhal Raiders' camp suddenly became very intense.

However, from the moment those guys misjudged the strength of Suren and his companions, their tragic end was already sealed.

Suren also guessed why those guys had confidently made their move.

They probably saw the gold-trimmed cloak and recognized them as the targets wanted by the King of the North Sea. In those people's intelligence, Ms. Mirror was still only at the sixth rank. If that were the case, their three-thousand-man group would indeed have the confidence to confront them head-on.

But they didn't expect that intelligence from a few months ago would be a bit outdated now.

Suren was no longer the weakling who had just emerged from the depths of Old Lundon and had never seen the world.

Yuta was also not an ordinary druid.

And Ms. Mirror was no longer a sixth-rank.

In fact, she wasn't even an ordinary seventh-rank!

With Ms. Mirror's Mirror Domain, her near eighth-rank strength directly crushed those elite hundred-man teams.

While those people still held onto the hope of putting up a fight, she swiftly killed the fifth-rank Gold Tooth leader with lightning speed.

The raiders were a group of people who came for commissions, and they didn't have much loyalty. They weren't like professional soldiers who would fight to the death for military orders. Seeing that the leader had been killed, the other raiders immediately scattered.

The battle came to an abrupt end just as it reached its climax.

However.

Ms. Mirror didn't intend to kill them all.

Watching the raiders fleeing in all directions through the forest, she withdrew her domain and stood aloof in the camp littered with corpses, silent for a long time, as if contemplating something.

Seeing that Ms. Mirror didn't move, Suren didn't chase after the fleeing raiders either.

Although his Puppet Theater was strong, it was now limited by dark spiritual power, and its control range wasn't too large, nor was its pursuit ability very strong.

He also knew what his Senior Apprentice-Sister's intentions were.

Slaughter was not the goal, but to end the slave-catching business in the Silent Forest.

Those who escaped alive would spread the news, and would also make other raider groups wary.

With the Magic Hair Cauldron buff, Yuta's combat power was unmatched. Although she had the ability to pursue, she stayed put quietly, seeing that Suren and Ms. Mirror hadn't made a move.

...

After the flames of war, the camp was filled with smoke everywhere.

The Unicorwhal group had fled, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, as well as a large amount of bulky mechanical equipment and supplies.

The supplies for a large group of several thousand people were not small.

There were no outsiders present, so Suren didn't need to worry about anything and began the happy loot-collecting session.

He didn't dare to use the Death Shadow, but directly peeled off the gray mist from hundreds of corpses. Then, he manipulated the threads to collect the equipment from the corpses, condensing cursed materials and alchemical implants.

Most of them were black iron and whiteboard materials, not very valuable.

But fortunately, there was a large quantity.

Suren had seen earlier that many of the mechanical preparations of the Unicorwhal group had the markings of the Luying military. Although this kind of retired old equipment was an era behind the current equipment in terms of technology, it was still a good thing that was not easy to buy with money on the black market.

This batch of spoils could probably earn a lot of money if sold as a package.

With the puppets and countless threads counting the spoils, Suren didn't need to work too hard and could also spare some attention to observe Ms. Mirror.

Seeing his Senior Apprentice-Sister take off her cloak, he finally asked, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, are you alright?"

Ms. Mirror shook her head and didn't say much, "I just suddenly thought of something."

She restrained the complicated thoughts in her mind, glanced at Suren, and the coldness between her brows suddenly dissipated, and her gaze also became gentle.

After pondering for a moment, she praised, "Your puppetry has improved a lot. Now, you really have a bit of the look of a Puppet Master."

Hearing this, Suren smiled noncommittally.

He was now roughly a "Master" in the field of Puppet Alchemist.

But in the eyes of his Senior Apprentice-Sister, he was only at the level of "a bit of the look".

However, this was already a very high evaluation.

After all, this one had once seen the pinnacle scenery of this plane.

The two chatted for a few words, when suddenly there was another rustling sound from the forest not far away.

Ms. Mirror was the first to notice something, glanced sideways, and said lightly, "Someone is coming."

Suren listened carefully, and then he realized the rustling sound, as if many people were approaching. He thought that the raiders had returned, and was wondering why those guys were coming back to die, when Yuta, who was helping him count the spoils, heard something unusual and exclaimed softly.

There was a long eagle cry in the sky, and some special horns were heard in the forest.

Yuta's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "That's our Dalu tribe's battle horn!"

Hearing this, the wariness in Suren's eyes also dissipated.

After thinking for a moment, a look of realization appeared on his face.

The commotion of the previous battle was very loud, especially when Yuta used the Magic Hair Cauldron to stir up the elements, creating a colorful glow all over the sky, which could be seen dozens of kilometers away.

It was probably seen by the Dalu tribesmen in the holy land, which is why they were attracted here.

He glanced at the indifferent Ms. Mirror not far away and didn't think too much about it, continuing to clear the battlefield.

No matter what the situation, with this one here, things wouldn't get out of hand.

...

Suren's guess was right.

Just as they were still fighting, Wolf Granny and several elders led a hundred-man team out of the holy land and quietly approached the cliff.

The sight of the colorful glow in the holy land made them have to risk coming to see. If it was really their Dalu tribe's holy artifact [Dagda's Magic Cauldron] that appeared, all the risks would be worth it.

The battle had just ended, and the air in the forest was still filled with a faint smell of blood.

The Dalu people had some beast-like organs, and their sense of smell was very keen, able to clearly smell the bloody气息 from several miles away.

They could tell that many people had died, so they also walked extra carefully.

But before they could get close to the forest area where the battle had taken place, the intense battle suddenly came to an abrupt end.

This made them even more cautious.

They were also worried about a trap, those despicable human raiders would use any means to capture slaves.

The main force stayed in a hidden position at the edge of the cliff, and several young druids volunteered to act as scouts, quietly approaching the forest area.

The few people carefully jumped between the giant trees, avoiding places on the ground that might have warning traps.

From a distance, they saw the corpses all over the camp, and also saw the only three people standing there.

Yuta had wolf ears, and they naturally recognized that this was a Dalu tribesman.

Moreover, she looked very familiar.

Several teenagers met together.

"That... Aku, look, doesn't that look like Sister Yuta?"

"It seems to be my sister... But why does she look different?"

"I also think she looks different. Aku, do you have other sisters?"

"..."

The leader was a white wolf tribesman teenager, Aku.

He saw Yuta, his expression stunned for a moment, not sure if the white wolf tribesman with red totems on her face and a completely different temperament was his sister.

Her appearance was eighty or ninety percent similar, but that transcendent temperament made him doubt his judgment.

Besides, the totem was not right!

The totems of the Dalu tribe have rules, the more mysterious the totem, the higher the strength and status it represents. He had never seen anyone in the tribe draw that red totem pattern.

His sister was a white wolf group druid, and she didn't draw this kind of totem.

But looking at the man who was cleaning the battlefield, Aku immediately confirmed and said excitedly: "That is... Mr. Suren!"

Hearing this, the other teenagers also recognized him.

Yuta had changed a lot, and they were not sure.

But Mr. Suren, who had saved their lives not long ago, had not changed at all!

"Mr. Suren is back!"

"Sure enough, Mr. Suren drove away those raiders. Then that should be Sister Yuta."

"Oh my god, go and tell Wolf Granny and the others!"

"...."

Upon this discovery, a few teenagers went to report the news, and the remaining few ran over excitedly.

...

Several teenagers wearing animal skins and carrying bows and arrows suddenly jumped out of the forest.

Suren looked at them and recognized them all, with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet them: "Aku, it's you."

"It's really Mr. Suren!"

Aku walked over excitedly, and was about to say hello, but looking at Yuta with cold eyes, he suddenly wilted.

Yuta glared at the reckless teenagers and coughed softly: "Cough!"

It was fine for her and Suren, but there was an ancestor-level senior here, and recklessness would make their Dalu tribe look very impolite.

The teenagers didn't know what happened, but Yuta, as their sister, was still very deterrent, so they stood aside obediently and didn't dare to speak.

Before long, Wolf Granny and several elders led a group of people out of the forest cautiously.

When these old people saw the red totem on Yuta's face, and then saw the colorful Magic Hair Cauldron floating beside her, they were all moved to tears.

They had heard about the meaning of the red totem from the previous generation of old people in the tribe, and also heard descriptions of the appearance of the four holy artifacts of the tribe.

"This is a god-given holy纹 totem! Oh my god... our Dalu tribe has once again been blessed by the great God of Nature..."

"This is really [Dagda's Magic Cauldron]! The holy artifact has been retrieved!"

"Great God of Nature is above..."

"..."

Seeing this scene, Wolf Granny and several elders knelt down on the ground in unison.

Behind them, hundreds of Dalu people also knelt down, chanting the name of the great God of Nature in Dalu language.

Yuta looked at everyone kneeling down to her, and didn't dare to accept this great gift, so she also knelt down and prayed piously.

Suren watched silently from the side.

Faith is worthy of respect.

He had stayed in the Dalu tribe for a period of time, and also knew their faith habits.

Ms. Mirror also remained silent.

...

Before long, the prayer was over.

After the excitement, there was naturally doubt.

Everyone looked at Yuta with inquiring eyes.

Yuta knew that the tribesmen must have many questions to ask at this moment, but there was still more important things to do.

Everyone was familiar with Suren, so there was no need to introduce him.

She solemnly introduced Ms. Mirror not far away, and said: "Wolf Granny, and everyone. This is Mr. Suren's Senior Apprentice-Sister, Ms. 'Ophelia Fay Isaac'. She is also the biological daughter of Sir Isaac from a thousand years ago."

After a pause, she added: "This time, I was able to retrieve the holy artifact of the tribe, thanks to the help of Ms. Ophelia and Mr. Suren. It was she who drove away those raiders just now."

"This..."

Hearing this, Wolf Granny and all the Dalu people were shocked.

Although they had heard the news that Sir Isaac's biological daughter was still alive before, they could not hide the shock on their faces when a figure from a thousand years ago actually appeared before their eyes.

Wolf Granny put her hands together to protect her chest, and respectfully gave a big salute, "Gray Wolf Clan Druid Mara, extends the most sincere greetings to the Dalu tribe's sworn ally, and the closest human friend."

As she said this, the elders and everyone behind her also gave a big salute in unison.

Ms. Mirror had lived for more than a thousand years after all, and she deserved this great gift.

She looked at the Dalu people, with a kind smile in her eyes, protected her chest and bent slightly to return the gift, and said firmly: "The Isaac family will always remember the oath."

...

The imminent crisis of destruction of the Emerald Holy Land was suddenly alleviated due to the arrival of Ms. Mirror.

Ms. Mirror also intended to stay in the holy land for a period of time.

Repelling the Unicorwhal Raider Group this time was just the beginning. She still needed a long time to deter the other raiders. She also had to guard against the counterattacks and revenge of those big slave traders.

Until the slave business in the Silent Forest completely disappeared.

But without top experts guarding it, the Dalu tribe's crisis would still not be resolved.

However, the good news was that this situation would immediately usher in a change.

Yuta, as the first person to sense the call of the gods in five hundred years, would open a new page in the history of the Dalu tribe.

Even more gratifying was that she brought back the holy artifact [Dagda's Magic Cauldron]. In the most concentrated holy land of the natural land, the Magic Hair Cauldron could exert its strongest combat power. The Dalu tribe could be considered to have a little real self-protection power.

In the evening, the Emerald Holy Land held a grand welcome banquet.

The Dalu tribesmen sang and danced to welcome Ms. Mirror, the sworn person in the prophecy.

...

Two days later, early morning.

The weather was clear.

The colorful glow in the holy land was蒸腾 and never-ending.

The chiefs and druids of dozens of tribes near the Emerald Forest received the news and gathered in the holy land.

It had never been so lively in the holy land for hundreds of years.

In front of the huge gray elm sacred tree, Yuta, dressed in sacrificial盛装, stood alone in front of the sacred tree, reciting ancient prayer incantations with a solemn face.

The totem on her face was the "God-given Sacred紋", a totem personally bestowed by the gods, which meant that she had now become the highest-ranking great druid in the tribe.

Behind her, the Dalu tribe was盛装打扮.

Aku and his group of little druids painted totems on their faces,敲着 stone drums, and danced rough原始战舞 to welcome this most important day. The Deer Clan Chief and a group of elders followed Yuta piously念诵 with the prayer incantations passed down from generation to generation.

Suren and Ms. Mirror were not far away, observing this ancient sacrificial ceremony as the most distinguished guests.

Before long, the sacrificial procedure in front of the sacred tree was completed.

The main force began to move forward towards the depths of the forest浩浩荡荡.

...

There was only one high mountain in the Emerald Holy Land, and the mountainside was covered with皑皑白雪.

Lake Gaius was on the mountainside.

There was an altar there, and it was said that only those who had received the call of the gods could go up.

The legends left by the ancestors of the Dalu tribe said that the druids who were baptized in the holy lake could receive the power bestowed by the gods and obtain the inheritance of the great druid.

Yuta also received a divine decree, and this time she was leading the tribesmen to the holy lake.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the Dalu tribesmen embarked on the process of pilgrimage to the holy lake.

The mountain road was rugged and the scenery was pleasant. A winding stream flowed down from the mountain stream. The higher the road went, the sparser the vegetation became. The small road paved with black碎石 was covered with墨绿色 moss because no one had walked on it for hundreds of years. On the side of the road, some祭柱 carved with totems could be seen every distance.

Suren and Ms. Mirror walked at the head of the team as distinguished guests.

The team's speed was not fast either. The Dalu tribesmen prayed step by step with devotion,无比莊重.

It took nearly three hours to walk the short mountain road.

Before long, everyone stopped under a near-vertical rock wall.

Above, was the holy lake.

The cold from the mountain blew down, and Suren felt a slight coolness. He looked up and his vision was blocked by the rock wall, so he didn't see any shadows of the lake.

The main force stayed below the隘口, and only Yuta and a group of elders went up.

And also Suren and Ms. Mirror as guests.

...

The vertical rock wall was about a hundred meters high, and as soon as they went up, their vision suddenly opened up.

Suren was immediately attracted by the sight in front of him.

Here was just below the snow line, and a翠绿色 lake came into view.

The lake was not big, but the surface of the lake was一片蒸腾氤氲之气, looking like a仙气飄飄 scene.

Not only was the natural scenery让 Suren覺得美不勝收, but even more striking were the two huge black stone tablets above the holy lake!

Suren never thought that there would be such a spectacular building in the Dalu tribe's holy land, which could be called primitive stone civilization.

威嚴, 神聖, 雄偉, 神秘...

Looking at the carvings on the stone tablet, a complex and indescribable emotion arose from the heart.

What surprised him even more was the奇异光景 behind the stone tablet.

The two stone tablets were a hundred meters high, like two merciless giants standing there, forming the shape of a "gate".

Suren looked over intently, and the sunlight just shone from behind that "gate".

In an instant, colorful霞光 entered the eye, and the scene was一片絢爛.

It seemed that behind the stone gate was no longer the world in front of them, but the brilliant and colorful heaven in mythology.

Just with that one glance, he saw the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Suren squinted his eyes slightly, and the shock in his heart久久不息, and he喃喃 said: "Is this the scenery at the high places of the world..."

Ms. Mirror next to him also looked over, and an unusual luster flashed in her crystal eyes.

This was the scene that her father had once described to her, the sunlight shining down, and thousands of霞光 coming from heaven,穿彼世.

It was indeed so.

...

Yuta and the Dalu people came to the holy lake for the first time.

They were also the first wave of Dalu people in five hundred years.

When they saw this scene, they were all extremely excited, putting their hands together and praying piously.

Their ancestors had told them generation after generation that this was the place closest to the gods, and only with enough piety could they receive the response of the gods.

After the prayer was over, everyone stayed where they were.

Yuta walked alone towards the white stone altar by the lake.

She stood on the altar, danced a graceful sacrificial dance, and also念誦玄奧 of the sacrificial咒.

It was clear that the altar was hundreds of meters away from the隘口, and the sound should not have been so clear.

But the sacrificial咒 in Yuta's mouth became clearer and clearer in everyone's ears.

The sound echoed above the holy lake, as if穿透了 that "Gate of Heaven".

Before long, the colorful霞光 above the holy lake became more and more浓郁, and the mysterious气息 that was hard to describe became more and more浓.

Everything预示着, as if something was about to happen.

The Dalu tribe looked forward with anticipation, full of expectations.

Finally,

The pious people received the response of the gods.

A miracle appeared.

A ray of divine阶光芒 suddenly fell from that heaven, as if the first ray of sunlight of dawn降臨世間, piercing the darkness. That beam of light instantly illuminated the entire雪白 mountain peak, scattering to the entire Emerald Holy Land, and the power of nature was澎湃涌动着.

The world in front of them instantly became bright, and everything became clear.

Suren didn't use the Omniscient Eye to探那那缕霞光, because it was a very offensive act to a god.

Although he didn't see the descent of the deity, the indescribable will in the 霞光 was clearly felt.

The next moment, Suren saw a scene that he would never forget again.

This霞光 fell down,

It fell on all the Dalu people.

In the next instant, brilliant七彩光澤 rose from their bodies at the same time.

The confusion in their eyes gradually dissipated, as if they were full of wisdom.

Their aura gathered higher and higher, to a critical point,

Then, they all broke through at the same time!

Suren was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He clearly felt that the Deer Clan Chief and Wolf Granny next to him had instantly advanced from the fifth rank to the sixth rank; the other elders had also advanced by a large阶位. Moreover, the七彩霞光 condensed on their bodies had not散 long ago, as if it contained more mysteries of nature.

What Suren couldn't understand even more was Yuta on the altar not far away.

At this moment, the red totem on her body was shining brightly, and her entire aura became more and more虚無縹緲.

She danced,舞着,祈祷着...

The Dalu tribesmen who gained power from the gods and received the response of the gods truly showed their exaggerated potential.
