book of old days

Chapter 84 Answer Time for the Wise Oak Tree (First Order)

Sean looked around nervously. There was no one around, only the silent oak forest. Old Yiguo had gone far away, and his sled had long since disappeared at the end of the forest. Even the dwarves were busy collecting oak trees in the distance. son.

Sean took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then made a decision. He decided that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose the day, so let's start summoning here and now.

Although the summoning ceremony is unlikely to be intercepted, it is always a night with many dreams.

He first took out the old book from his pocket, thought for a while, and then took out his notebook and pen. Every sentence of the wise man of the oak tree is precious knowledge and wisdom, so it is necessary to record them all.

Then there is the pocket watch. The book only mentions that the wise man of the oak tree can only stay for a certain period of time after being summoned, but how long this period of time is, it is the same as the "appropriate amount" and "several" in the recipe. Sean has no idea.

He was going to record the length of this time, so that if he had the opportunity to call again in the future, he could control the time more accurately.

What else?Oh, by the way, he took out a small knife, cut open the palm of his hand, and then smeared the blood on the bark.

Blood is the key to communicating with the spirit of nature. In fact, in many summoning ceremonies, blood is a necessary condition to enhance the summoner's perception ability and improve communication efficiency.

After finishing all these, he spread out the book of the old days in front of the oak tree, and recited the incantation on it loudly.

[Immortal existence from the Realm of Thousand Forests. 】

[The spirit of nature, the friend of the oak tree, the wise elder who communicates with all worlds and understands all things. 】

【I ask you for advice with a humble heart, I communicate with you with my blood, and I trouble you with difficult things. 】

[In the name of all the spirits in the land of thousands of forests, in the name of the eternal giant tree Yamshir, in the name of the contract signed between your and my race and the ancient times. 】

【I welcome you to this world. 】

As he uttered the last incantation, a gust of wind suddenly blew around the oak tree.

The wind was not strong, it was more like a gust of fresh air, blowing the dead leaves down one after another.

Suddenly there was a strange creaking sound in the oak tree, the branches were swaying, the bark was slowly wriggling, and green new leaves were constantly growing from the branches, full of greenery, like the human face on the oak tree in front of you Waking up from sleep, like stretching a limb.

The green leaves grew more and more, almost covering the sky.

Sean watched in amazement that the human face on the bark gradually moved, a huge mouth opened, and two scarred wood tumors also opened, revealing two huge fish-like eyes.

The two eyes turned around and quickly locked on Xiao En. Being watched by those eyes made Xiao En feel a little nervous. He took off the leather hat on his head and bowed his head.

"It was you who summoned me, young human, I heard your thirst for knowledge, I heard the doubts in your heart, now I have appeared in front of you, tell me the question you want to ask, if I know the answer , I will definitely not be stingy with the answer."

The voice of this old oak tree is as old as its appearance, but it is also extraordinarily peaceful, which makes people feel calm when they hear it.

Sean really has a lot of questions, but time is running out, so he can only ask urgently first. Considering that he is going to participate in winter hunting, his first question is——

"Great wise man, my first question, what are the gods of the Nords?"

"Hehe, an interesting question." The face showed a pensive expression, as if thinking about how to word, it thought for a long time - about ten seconds, but every second made Sean feel particularly long.

"First of all, you have to understand that God is just a general name for the existence beyond human cognition, and they are not a kind of thing.

Nord gods are the embodiment of human belief, so they can probably be called gods of faith, a spiritual entity with extraordinary power, the power it possesses comes from human imagination, and the strength of power comes from human believers Quantity and quality, so you can understand? "

Sean suddenly realized that this was the case.

He has indeed heard of belief in gods. In a sense, most of the gods in ancient China were like this, relying on the power of incense or faith to exist. No wonder the Nord gods are so useless. It should be because The Nord population is too small. Now the Nords have only a few million people, and there will be fewer hundreds of years ago. This also explains why the Nord gods will annex each other, because their existence depends on The power of faith, the more people believe in you, the fewer people believe in me, so everyone must decide between life and death.

Without the intervention of the Bretons, there would be only one god left in the end.

But now there are few people who believe in the Nord gods, so aren't they already extinct?
"So do the Nord gods still exist? If they die, will they leave any real legacy?"

This is what Xiao En really cares about. Whether Nord God is strong or weak, life or death is not important, what matters is whether he can get any benefits from it.

Oak Wise blinked (Sean guessed it was something like a nod).

"Belief in gods is usually not so easy to disappear. Even if only one believer is praising their names, they can still exist in theory. I can feel that their residual power still covers this forest. This may also be explained sideways. Nord's gods haven't completely disappeared.

But their strength should already be very weak...

As for heritage, anything that has ever existed will always leave some traces in this world, not to mention the gods, they will always leave something behind, when the faith is gone, the power of the gods is gone, and the belief in the gods says what remains, They tend to condense into their most essential and purest form, which may be an animal, a sword, or even a stone. Usually such things have some residual power. If you can find it, you can use that residual power. divine power. "

Sean became even more excited when he heard this, so the treasures in the temples should all be real?

He suddenly thought of it, so he took off the emerald necklace around his neck, "May I ask if this is it?"

The wise man of the oak tree stared at the necklace without blinking, a strip of paper was hanging down from it, and the green branches and leaves gently stroked the necklace.

"That's right, I can feel that the power of nature still remains on this gem. Although it is very small, it is pure and solid. It can make your body healthy and get rid of diseases. The power of nature on it makes you I feel very gracious, but it is a pity that she should have been dead for a long time."

Xiao En nodded happily, then he must not miss the winter hunting this time, imagine that if you can get all the treasures in the treasure house, it will be amazing.

"Second question, where can I get a lot of magic items?"

The wise man of the oak tree thought again, but this time it was much faster. After a few seconds, it spoke.

"Magic items in reality are all made by humans. I'm afraid you have to ask your kindred ones, but there is indeed a place where there are a lot of magic items, and they are all unowned. Do you know the legendary Chaos?" ocean?
It was a world that had not yet completed evolution, and it was full of the most primitive magical energy—the power of chaos. Sometimes some items from the outside would inadvertently flow into it, and under the influence of the power of chaos, a special kind of magic was gradually derived. Mind, and has a strange and powerful magic power, these naturally born magic items are often extremely powerful, and even left various legends in the ancient past.

But be careful, the magic items in the Chaos Sea are 'wild'. They are not made by humans, so their purpose of existence is definitely not for humans. Contacting such items is often accompanied by great danger. "

Chaos sea?Sean did remember that it was mentioned in the book that it was a world full of chaotic energy, in which many strange existences that humans could not understand were bred.

Even the arrogant ancient mage Medorian seemed quite afraid of this.

It seems that I have to study it carefully later. If I can summon a bunch of magic items, kill them all and extract the magic liquid, tsk tsk tsk, that would be very flattering.

However, I am afraid that this matter will be discussed next year. To extract the magic liquid, you need a special alchemy device. This kind of thing is not available in a small place like Nordforsen. I am afraid that we will have to wait until we return to Sword Castle. .

He looked at his pocket watch, more than ten minutes had passed, and Sean wasn't sure how much time was left, so he decided to pick the most important question.

"Excuse me, what language is this book in? Can you translate it for me?"

He directly turned to the front part of the Book of the Old, this kind of weird text used by the author of the book, until now he didn't even know the origin, and spread it out in front of the wise man of the oak tree.

The Oak Wise Man looked at the writing, the lines of the tree extruding a frown, it looked a bit confused.

"I have to say, you really stumped me. I have never seen such characters before, and I don't even know their origins. You must know that I have wandered through countless worlds, but I have never seen anything like it... …

However, I have a bold guess. I have heard of a race that only exists in legends in different worlds—the Sakaduum. Knowledge and wisdom, they once ruled the myriad worlds and mastered the power of the worlds, but one day the mystery disappeared completely, and all traces were erased, leaving only some scattered legends and residual shadows in the ancient myths of different civilizations . "

"I don't know if they really existed, but my spiritual sense tells me that your book is probably related to them."

PS: Please make a first order, there will be another update in the evening.
