Section 17 Altars and Golems

The forest is deep and quiet, and the midday sun struggles to enter through the gaps in the leaves. The golden light poured down on the treetops, and when it reached the ground covered with thick layers of soft rotting leaves, it had been cut into fine streamers.

The critters that have lived here for a long time do not make a rustling sound during the day, because they must know that while the jungle may seem gentle and friendly, there are countless dangers hidden in the shadows.

Duran and Abu walked with a grinning grip on the soft earth of rotting leaves, and now and then thick trunks were hidden under the rotten leaves, or branches were exposed like hideous green tendons. The two of them were light, but they weren't druids or rangers, and their seemingly cautious approach was tantamount to beating gongs and drums in the eyes of sensitive creatures.

Abu had no idea that the Fire-Eater had left the Flame Lair for the first time, and that everything outside was strange and new to him. He energetically circled in front of and behind Duran, his crimson skin standing out in the thick green.

Duran was self-aware, but he didn't intend to stop Abu from disturbing the other creatures, because he had the impression that the creatures in the forest were not enough of a threat to himself or Abu. And the destination, not far away. Since neither of them was very accustomed to the rhythm of the dense forest, it was better to speed up the pace than to advance slowly.

However, Duran soon discovers that his laissez-faire style of discipline is clearly overestimating Abu's self-consciousness or underestimating the Fireseat's ability to cause trouble-

Abu, who was rolling all over the ground, suddenly pounced forward with great curiosity, and climbed neatly onto a big tree.

Duran was slightly surprised, and just wanted to open his mouth to praise Abu for his profound tree-climbing skills and ancient snitch demeanor, who knew that before he could speak, his eyes were about to pop out: "Abu! Don't touch it! ”

Duran's warning apparently didn't work as well as it should, and the inquisitive fire-eating beast resolutely reached out with one of its front paws and took the watermelon-sized hornet's nest into its arms, despite the disturbance of several worker bees.

"Abu?" The fire-eater happily waved at Duran. In the next second, countless buzzing sounds sounded instantly!

Duran was full of black lines, and said speechlessly: "Boy, ask for more blessings, you ......"

After that, Duran didn't have the righteousness to share the joys and sorrows, so he directly hugged his head and rushed all the way forward.

Duran rushed out five or six steps before Abu's panicked exclamation sounded behind him, and Duran looked back to see that poor Abu was already surrounded by hornets in the dark.

The fire-eaters panicked and tried to dodge these small but fierce creatures, but one of them did not stand still and fell straight from the branches.

"Abu, quick, this way!" Duran couldn't help but shout.

Abu, who was stunned, stood up with a carp, and the hornets buzzed, and the guy was so frightened that he didn't say a word, and ran all the way with Duran.

Duran can run three times as fast as a normal person, and Abu looks chubby, but in fact he is also very skilled. A man and a beast scurried with their heads in their arms, and ran into the depths of the dense forest with all their milking strength, and for a time the fierce hornets could not catch up.

"Abu Abu!" The fire-eater ran on all fours, panting and wailing.

Duran was recognizing the path forward, and he was happy when he saw Abu, this guy had at least a dozen bags on his body, although the red skin scratched by the wind could help him cover up some traces, but the pain of flesh and skin was probably inevitable.

"Don't worry, the front is safe!"

The two of them stepped over a low bush, and the buzz behind them took a sharp turn, and the speed of the approach was much faster.

Stepping over the bushes, Duran saw a relatively empty flat area, with a few broken stone pillars stubbornly standing in the center, wild grass spreading, rubble strewn everywhere, a dilapidated and desolate scene.

"Pillar of Tranquility! This is it! ”

Duran's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Abu.

The two rushed between the two stone pillars in a hurry, and Duran suddenly stopped.

The fire-eater braked in time, and suddenly flew head-on into a pile of rubble.

"Whoa!"

Countless rubbles slowly slid off the edge, and the fire-eater plunged headlong into the rubble, leaving only a smooth ass exposed, and its short tail shuddering, and Duran couldn't help but laugh.

Abu struggled out of the pile of rocks, his big eyes staring around with wariness.

However, to his surprise, those fierce gods and evil spirits did not appear beside him!

Duran walked to the edge of the pile of rubble, unceremoniously pulled out Abu, and said, "You dare to poke the hornet's nest, you have enough guts!" ”

The fire-eater was pulled to the clearing by Duran, and immediately looked left and right in some panic.

Duran said amusedly, "They don't dare to come in here." Although the Moon Elves have long since left this place, this abandoned altar still contains some of Fanya's divine powers. Miniature creatures like theirs, as soon as they approach the altar of the First Moon Vanya, their souls will be instantly shaken to pieces. ”

Abu looked suspicious, poked out his little head and looked outside, and sure enough, he found that the black wasps only stayed outside the stone pillar, but did not dare to enter the range of the stone pillar.

Duran ignored Abu and strode into the depths of the rubble.

Although the Moon Elves settled here in the Second Age, there are traces of them in many parts of the Helga Mountains. The Moon Elves worship Vanya, the goddess of the first moon in the middle of March, who set up altars deep in the jungle and prayed as the first moon rose. And Fanya has never been stingy with divine power, so even if the altar has been abandoned for a long time, there will still be a small number of god surnames left.

A wild animal like a hornet, which is not even a monster, has a very fragile soul strength, and it will directly collapse under the oppression of this god. The souls of humans and large creatures such as fire-eaters are relatively strong, so Duran and Abu can wander the ruins of the altar safely.

The glory of yesteryear is gone, and the once proud elves have long since left the land. At the end of the Second Age, when the dragons invaded, the Moon Elves, led by the Elven King Bellingham, left the Mortal Lands and trekked east along Mount Helgar, where they crossed the Lake of Winter and finally took refuge in the refuge established by the Ancient Sage, Alberon.

The Silver Moon Altar here and now was only the whispering of the afternoon breeze scraping the leaves and the restless call of the fire-eating beast.

Of course, Duran didn't come here to lament the fact that things were wrong, he went straight to the deepest part of the pile of rubble, kicked away the rocks that got in the way, and the totems and lines carved on the earth gradually became bare.

"Sure enough, it's still useful." Duran took a look at the quiet rune circle carved on the ground, and found that although the altar had been abandoned, the rune circle used for sacrifice was intact.

That's what Duran needs most.

Duran is not a moon elf and doesn't need to show much devotion to Fanya, he just needs to maintain basic respect. This Tranquility Rune Circle is a place where sacrifices can be made to Vanya, and once Vanya accepts the sacrificer's items, she will give them back generously.

Although it was noon at the moment, it was impossible to pray to Fanya through the altar, but Duran himself was not a follower of Fanya, so the Tranquility Rune Circle could be used.

With Abu's help, Duran was able to clear all obstacles from the Tranquility Rune Circle.

After motioning for the fire-eater to wait outside the circle, Duran slowly slashed the appel of his left hand with an oak thorn.

Three points of dark red and pure blood quietly fell into the turquoise stone in the center of the Quiet Rune Circle.

“w‘spipa! (Moon Elf: Quiet Heart)"

The awkward Moon Elf language came out of Duran's mouth, making him feel very uncomfortable, if it weren't for Dulan's strong memorization and memorization of the information in the game, including the language, I am afraid that it would not be able to stimulate the quiet rune at all.

The lines under Duran's feet flickered, and the red turquoise trembled slightly. Soon, a round stone platform rose from the ground and slowly appeared in front of Duran.

The place where the center of the stone recesses is where the sacrifices are placed.

Countless pale blue runes suddenly appeared, and the entire magic circle suddenly turned into a vast ocean, and the sky above turned from bright to black, into a deep starry sky.

Duran stood under the stars, as if he heard the goddess whispering in his ear.

The subtle sensation lasted only a second, and Duran quickly reacted, placing the sacrificial object respectfully on the stone platform.

The lilac glass is particularly dazzling in the starlight, and the primary Eternity Vial is comparable to a small artifact in the game, although it was shattered by Duran, but the value of its fragments is still immeasurable.

The blue tranquil runes on the stone platform wrapped the two fragments of the primordial vial, and for a while, the light shone brighter and brighter.

A huge screen of light flew down, silently staying in front of Duran's eyes.

Duran knew that what was on the screen was a gift from the goddess of the first moon, Fanya, who was satisfied with her sacrifice.

Of course, the word gift is a term for the Moon Elves. In Duran's mind, it's more like a deal.

"To each according to his needs."

Duran Nunu's mouth, the fragments on the stone platform have disappeared, and on the light screen, there are a total of three things for Duran to choose from:

【A Mysterious Egg】

【Rock Golem (Gold)*2

【Jinghua Sword Comprehension Book (Lv3)】

……

"I'll choose the rock golem!" Duran just glanced at it and didn't hesitate to choose the central option.

In the next second, two tall figures rose from the ground, accompanied by a thunderous rumble, and appeared behind Duran.
