Pale Emblem

Chapter 33 Guess
The residents of Bolang Town generally think that the Tagu people are indifferent and stubborn, and the Hemo people are fierce and rude.Vertok felt that the Tagu people were quiet and the Hemer people were enthusiastic.The time he spent in the Temple of the Earth Mother was like a duck to water. Whether it was the taciturn man in the tower cave, or the frank and forthright Hemo woman, he welcomed this handsome young Asian-elf boy.

In just a few days, Vertok's curiosity about the Ta Caves and the Hemers was greatly satisfied.

Once the Tagu people settle down, they will not leave their place of residence easily.They were brilliant artisans, tailors, cooks, doctors, nannies, and guardians, caring for each of the Homer women, crafting weapons, mending gear, providing food and medical care, and raising their children.

The Hemo people call the males of the Taku the servants of the mother goddess, and the Taku people also call the female Hemo the daughters of the mother goddess.As long as any Hemo female warrior finds a servant of the Mother Goddess, they will get the help they can do, even if the two sides are strangers who have never met before.

In fact, the nearly [-] adult Hemer female warriors in Braun Town are not one tribe, but come from all over the place.Because the family relationship of the Hemo and Taku tribes is relatively chaotic, but in the chaos they follow a simple logical way, that is, their natural instincts.

Homer female warriors have a special ability, no matter where they are, they know the direction of the nearest mother goddess servant no matter where they are.When she needed a rest, she would go to the Mother Goddess, seeking a safe settlement.After she got tired of living in the colony, she would go out with other Hemo female warriors to satisfy her hunting and wandering nature.In the process, they are willing to accept the employment of the adventure group and become the temporary partners of the adventurers.

Half-elf adventurers must not think that comradeship can bind the mighty female warrior Hemer.If they want to rest and find another frontier stronghold with the servants of the mother goddess, they will definitely part ways with the adventure group, bring their own wealth, and go to the settlement.

The attitude of the Hemer people towards love, family and property is also arbitrary. The partnership can only last for a dozen days, and the mother-child relationship can last for two or three years at most.During this period, they stayed in the settlement, caring for their young children with the Mother God's Attendant and other Hemer compatriots.

Most of the tower caves and the Hemo people do not know their blood relatives.Tower cave boys usually stay when they become adults, while young homer women will accompany their elders, calling each other sisters, and go on adventures in the wild together.

Tower Cave and Hemo do not pursue material enjoyment. They follow the nature of their blood. Their lifestyles are almost primitive. Their property is shared, as are their children. Their spouses are used to bear children, but they believe that reproduction of new life is bestowed by the Mother Earth. Their sacred mission is also the love of the mother goddess for Takuhmo.

The gestation period of a Homer woman is as long as two years, and the fetus is usually dormant in the mother's body, and it takes just over a month from the beginning of development to the birth.During this process, mothers also experience a new birth with their fetuses. Their injuries and illnesses are healed, their youth reappears, and their body and mind will be sublimated.

Legend has it that there are only female Hemo warriors who died in battle, but there are no female Hemo warriors who died of old age.Although this expresses the homicidal and aggressive nature of the Hemer tribe, it has nothing to do with their unique way of reproduction.

In a sense, the Homer race is indeed a race favored by the Mother Earth.For ordinary half-elf women, bearing offspring often leads to physical and mental weakness.

The annual life sacrifice is an important ceremony used by the Ta cave and the Hemo people to please the Mother Earth.Vertok is looking forward to Braun's life sacrifice this year.

However, when the first snow fell in the sky that day, he was ruthlessly driven out of the Temple of Earth Mother by Gangyan.

Gangyan is really as stubborn as a rock, and Vertok has no choice but to leave the settlement of the Tagu and Hemer clan in a sullen mood.

As soon as Vertok walked out of the entrance of the Temple of the Earth Mother, John asked him to go to the pharmacy, saying that Dr. Cole had been waiting for him and wanted to examine him.

It didn't take long for Vertoc to lie comfortably on a bed in a guest room in the front hall of the pharmacy, with Dr. Cole and his half-elf maids busy beside him.

Dr. Cole poured a drop of potion on the back of Victor's hand and said in confusion: "The test potion for intelligence did not respond... The test for physical fitness did not respond, the test for strength did not respond, and the test for agility did not respond. He didn't even respond to the last intelligence test? How is this possible? Vertok's strength has clearly reached the level of a third-level professional, so why didn't the test potion respond to him?"

He thought for a while, bent down, and asked cautiously, "Vill, when you lived in the Temple of the Earth Mother, what did Gangyan do to you besides giving you a piece of secretly made moon saber leopard meat?"

Vertok blinked and said, "Gangyan also taught me to meditate, which is to imagine myself as a stone with a soul, and let the soul float around the body. I didn't learn it."

"It's normal not to learn it. The meditation of the Tagu people is actually part of the secret ritual of sublimation. Half-elves rely on hallucinatory incense to simulate this state of meditation." Cole explained casually, and then said to himself: " If there is no error in the awakening test potion, then there is only one possibility... Vertok has no awakening expertise at all, and of course he has no sublimation expertise to be promoted to a professional, but his muscle strength is obviously already a third-level professional... Could it be."

Cole exclaimed with a frenzied expression: "Could it be that your Origin Blood Secret Technique and Origin Blood Potion directly increase the life level, instead of Awakening Specialty and Sublimation Specialty? This, this is so strange! No, no, not so. Simple, it can't be so simple... Gangyan's blessing ceremony must have had an effect on you that you don't even know about..."

The doctor was startled, and Vertok became impatient. He frowned and asked, "How long do I have to lie here, do you see anything wrong?"

Cole shuddered, woke up from the madness, pulled down his mask, and said happily: "No problem, you are very healthy, and you are very strong, you are still the kind of strong that can maintain the proportion of your body. If I guess correctly If so, you are not a professional or an awakened now. Will, do you know what this means? It means that you have improved your life level, and then you can also awaken your expertise, sublime your expertise... This is incredible , is a miracle!"

Victor sat up from the bed and said coldly, "You want to check, I asked you to check, now it's your turn to answer some of my questions."

"Gang Yan said that your profession should be respected, but you are not a good person. Your relationship with Britney and the others is unclean. What does he mean by that?"

Cole and a few half-elf maids looked at each other. After a while, he hesitantly explained, a little embarrassedly: "Tagu and the Hemers believe that the spouses that do not have offspring are unclean."

Victor asked curiously, "Why don't you have children?"

Dr. Cole said angrily, "You're too young to care about these things."

Victor stood up suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily, "Answer me!"

Cole and the three maids were shocked and couldn't help but take a half step back.Cole immediately flashed a thought and waved his maids to leave first.

When the half-elf maid closed the door, Cole asked uncertainly, "Vill, is this question important to you?"

Vertok said irritably: "I can't tell, but I feel that this issue is very important."

"Reproduction is related to the continuation of the race, and it is important to any life." Dr. Cole nodded, organized the language a little, and continued: "It is rumored that the ancient rock elves can condense the life essence of their prey. The current tower cave family has inherited it. This ability of the ancient rock elves can only be achieved with the help of blessing rituals, and they can also meditate to make the soul transcend the body. You may guess that the secret medicine, secret rituals, and teachings of the Disa half-elves actually come from These abilities of the Tagu people."

"Among the authority of the Mother Earth, life and reproduction are the most important, one is to absorb, and the other is to nurture new life. Rock elves are known as the darlings of the Mother Earth, and they are born with the special ability to absorb the essence of life and strengthen themselves. The elves are also descendants of the rock elves, but our bloodline has degenerated, and we do not have the innate ability to absorb the essence of life."

"The steel rock clan leader of the Ta cave clan condenses the life essence of the moon saber leopard, and our living body secret medicine is also imitating his ability, but the effect is a little worse, the time will be longer, and the negative effect is stronger, but Mysticism can benefit more half-elves."

"As for reproduction."

Dr. Cole paused and said: "Whether it is a plant or an animal, the process of life germination itself is a manifestation of a great divine power. The Tagu people believe that the birth of life is sacred, and I fully agree. However, no race will Like the Homer women, while giving birth to a new life, they also experience the germination of life again. They also have a unique ability to know who can make them give birth to a healthy and strong new life. The adult of the Homer clan Women intuitively choose the most suitable mate for themselves, avoid close relatives, and do not choose underage partners. Vertoc, although you are tall and popular with the female warriors of Hemer, they do not choose you as themselves Your spouse, to drive you out of the Temple of Earth Mother, it means that you are underage... haha."

Vertoc shook his head and said, "This is nothing funny... I know what benefits the female warriors of Hemo will get by having children. I want to know what benefits will the Tahu tribe have when they have children? Gang Yan said that the males of the tower cave and Hemo will benefit from having children. The soul will be nourished by the union of silent women. I asked him, what does this mean? He didn't explain it, he just said that it's useless to explain it to me now... It really pissed me off."

Dr. Cole reluctantly said, "It's strange to me talking about having a child with you, an underage half-elf, am I crazy or are you crazy? Well, well, I tell you, Ta The cave people are naturally powerful, they are called the servants of the mother god, and they contain the divine power of the earth. If the Ta cave people refuse the responsibilities given to them by the earth mother goddess and do not reproduce, the divine power of the earth will gradually erode their souls and turn them into stones. It's dead."

Vertok was stunned, and muttered to himself: "If you don't have children, you will turn into stone... I always feel familiar, but I just can't remember. Where have I heard a similar statement..."

Dr. Cole stared at him with a burning gaze, and then said: "Gangyan is right, the Hemer tribe breeds offspring and obtains the power of life germination, and the soul of the Taku tribe will be nourished. The gift of the elves. Then we half elves should have the same innate abilities, but our bloodline has degenerated."

"More than 1000 years ago, the great sage Malfoy was the founder of occult medicine. He imitated the absorption talent of the rock elves, and created a career path for half-elves to awaken and sublimate. He also studied the unique reproductive talent of rock elves. Unfortunately. , Sage Malfoy's research has not been successful, and he himself passed away."

Cole's words changed, and he said: "The Earth Temple of the Dissa Alliance has inherited the research of the sages of Malfoy, which lasted for hundreds of years, and finally made a major breakthrough. They still use the methods of secret rituals and secret medicine to help the half-elves. Professionals and spouses exchange and sublimate their traits.”

The doctor was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you know how old I am this year?"

Vertok looked at each other with strange eyes, and then raised his hand to gesture his height.

Dr. Cole laughed and said triumphantly: "I'm ten years older than that old guy in Bartom, but I look much younger than him... Britney and the others didn't have the sublimation expertise, and they were promoted to professionals. Their potential. They become partners with me, a fourth-level professional. I am equivalent to their Dharma preacher. They can be promoted to professionals, but they can't ignite the secret blood and can't be promoted. They are considered pseudo-professionals. And I learned from them. Gaining the vitality that nourishes the physique is what they specialize in as physique awakeners. The price they pay for Britney is that they can't have offspring."

"Of course, this is not only against the teachings of the Earth Mother Sect, but also against the teachings publicly preached by the Goddess Sect. But in the Highland Famous, the secret of companionship is almost an open secret."

"The head of the Taku clan accused me, Britney and their partners of being impure, so what should we do? Taku and Hemo are the darlings of the Mother Earth, naturally powerful rock elves. We are half-elves with degenerated blood, we What can be done?"

Dr. Cole walked back and forth in the room and said angrily: "Should I accept the fate of aging and mental decline with a smile? Britney and the others should be willing to be poor, and then marry another poor man early, and have a bunch of poor people. Child, lose your beautiful face in a toiled life and die early?"

"Gangyan doesn't know how the poor people of the Alliance survive. He never cares about this! I don't care either, but I think even the half-elves living in the slums should have a chance to change their fate!"

Cole let out a long sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I was just too excited."

"Don't be so excited in the future, I thought you wanted to hit someone." Victor clenched a fist in front of Cole and said seriously, "I'm strong now."

Dr. Cole smiled and shook his head, and said with a serious face: "I shouldn't have told you about this. But you have to ask today, did you think of something in the Temple of the Earth Mother?"

Vertoc looked thoughtful and said: "I found that the partnership between the Tahu and the Hemers is different from the half-elf family in the town. Gangyan and the others also gave me a familiar feeling. Can't remember. Gang Yan emphasized that you are a bad person, so I will come to you and ask."

Cole nodded secretly, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "A lot of people know the half-elf's companion secret method, but not many people really understand the mystery, and even fewer are impressed by it. Vertoc, Frankly speaking, I may know your origin, but I can't tell you directly now." He pointed to his forehead and continued: "Your mental state is not stable yet, you can't be strongly stimulated, otherwise, no one will Do you know what will happen? In the future, if you recall anything, come and ask me. We will talk like today and slowly guide you to restore your memory."

Vertok looked at Dr. Cole suspiciously and asked, "Do you really know my origin?"

Cole shook his head and said: "I just have a rough guess, but I can't tell you now. If I guess wrong and tell you the wrong guess, we will all be in big trouble... So, don't ask again. Me. Ask me again when you recall something familiar."

Victor rolled his eyes and said, "Then I want to know the specific content of the partner's secret method."

Dr. Cole suddenly felt a splitting headache, choked on his own saliva, coughed several times in a row, and said angrily: "It's not your turn to ask about this kind of thing, even if you are an adult, I won't tell you. You Now go back to the Adventurer's House for me..."

Just as she was talking, Britney knocked on the door and walked in, and said to Dr. Cole, "Master, Lord Bartom asked John to send a message, saying that there seems to be an accident outside the town, so you should hurry to the hotel."
