Chapter 105: The Duties of the Shrine Maiden
Draenor quickly got up and ran to Vikilic's side, reached for the tent curtain and poked his head in.
Moran's face had returned to the same as before, the sun shining through the leak in the top of the tent on her blonde hair hanging down her chest. She had already straightened up and sat on the edge of the blanket, and when she saw the faces of everyone, she quickly put down the wooden bowl in her hand and showed a smile that she had not seen for a long time.
"Moran, how are you feeling now?" Draenor hurriedly condoled, hoping that she would not be left with any after-effects from the previous battle.
"Hmm...... On average, there are about five or six icebergs like the one before. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned into laughter, and Moran was relieved to see that everyone was unharmed, and he covered his mouth with his slender fingers and laughed happily.
"Thanks to Vicky by my side taking care of me, even I didn't expect the consequences of overusing 'divinity' to be so severe. I have to say that Vicky's medical skills are really good, and I am three points inferior as a shrine maiden. Moran looked at Viklico with those crescent-like eyes.
"Huh? No, no, no, the main thing is that your body is already strong......" Vicheri was a little overwhelmed by the sudden appreciation, and Draenor couldn't imagine that the always confident Vickily would be shy.
"What are you talking about?" Divinity'? Cooper poked his head out of the crowd and asked Moran.
"Let's talk about it later, give the girls a little time, they have to help Moran change clothes!" Draeno slammed Cooper's head back, smiled at Viklico, and turned out of the tent.
Less than ten minutes later, Vicchirico and Jeanne opened the tent door, and Moran, dressed in a white gauze robe, bent over and gracefully walked out of the tent, his white and slender fingers gently caressing the hair between his ears, like a daffodil blooming in early spring.
Draenor was almost seduced by the stunner in front of him, and he didn't care about Cooper, who was covering his nostrils on the side.
"What are you looking at? Mr. Delano? Jeanne walked over to Draenor in confusion, and he looked like he was enchanted and froze in place.
"Ahh Draenor quickly closed his eyes, crazy to brainwash himself, no, no, how can this be? I already have Jeanne's company, so I'm so sorry for her!
"Hahaha, it seems that it is not only water that can be frozen by the shrine maiden, but also a man's heart!" Vekily covered her mouth and smirked.
Admittedly, in some ways Vicky is a little scary, and Draenor caught a glimpse of Jeanne's increasingly frowning brow and quickly diverted the subject.
"Ahem! Now that everyone is here, I think it's time for a short meeting. ”
The five of them sat around the campfire on the edge of the camp, and Vikily took out the map from behind her and spread it on the ground.
"Based on my observations and that of Moran, this is where our camp should be......" she said, drawing a circle on the map with a stick.
"And then here, is the destination of this journey—the tomb of the Great King." Vicilico pointed to the buildings drawn on the map with one hand, and the vague buildings in the distance with the other.
"In other words, we will be less than a day's journey away, and we will be able to reach the tomb of the Emperors of Lycos?" Cooper hurriedly stood up and asked Vicilico, even if he stood up straight, he was still a head shorter than Draenor sitting cross-legged.
"That's right, so the end is just around the corner. We've got to be well prepared tonight and don't be discouraged no matter what the outcome is, especially you, Draenor. Vikirico swung her stick and tapped Draenor twice into her knee.
While Vicky Ricko's advice was helpful most of the time, it was clear that she was overthinking it this time. Along the way, Draenor has harvested unimaginable treasures in his life, and even if the curse of the "White Refining Fire" cannot be lifted in the end, all this cannot be called in vain.
"Well, if you don't have anything else in mind, let's leave this meeting at that. By the way, Moran will always be with us on this final journey. Vicky announced with a smile.
It was clear that Cooper was the first to dance with emotion, not even when he heard that the journey was about to end.
"Roughly like Vicky said, considering that the grave and the camp are still relatively close, and you should need help analyzing the clues left in the grave. Although I haven't personally entered the tomb of the Great King, at least I can help you with some rough translation. Thank you for your advice in the future. Moran smiled and nodded at the crowd.
It was a good decision, and although Moran was not an expert in archaeology, he could at least do some translation. If they were not accompanied by a Qulicus expert, they would not have been able to find a clue to the antidote even if they dug up the grave. What's more, I don't know what new threats I will encounter on the road, and Moran is also a trustworthy partner.
"But until then, I hope you will help me fulfill my last duties as a shrine maiden." Moran stood up and said to the crowd, Draenor was a little puzzled, but saw that Viklico nodded, so he simply stopped asking.
The group followed Moran to the sheepfold at the edge of the camp, and Moran called Aziz to feed the sheep, and took a pinch of silver powder from his pocket and smeared it on his palm.
"Aziz, this is the shrine maiden's amulet, I can only draw it once in a month, and it will protect you and the rest of your people during my absence. Call out my full name if there's a terrible threat, but it can only be used three times, and only as a last resort, understand? ”
Aziz looked at the rune in his hand that shimmered with silver light in surprise, and bowed to Moran excitedly, "Got it!" I will definitely protect Grandpa Aboud and everyone! Please rest assured, Miss Moran! ”
Moran touched the young man's face with relief, turned around and led everyone to a clearing.
In fact, Draenor has gradually mastered the technique of using the "Mind Stone", and as long as he concentrates, he can understand the language of others, and he can hear the conversation between the two of them clearly.
Moran filled most of the open space with a kettle, then took out four twisted plant stems from the cloth bag hanging from his waist and sent them to Draenor and the others one by one.
"Don't worry, these are just ordinary Jerusalem artichoke root knots, now please bury them in the sand in order from left to right."
Draenor half-bewildered the stalk in the sand, and the others followed Draenor's way in order to bury the stalk.
"Now please concentrate and chant 'salvana' with me the moment the thin buds pop up on the ground."
Draenor struggled to memorize the word, but the Mind Stone didn't make him understand the meaning, it didn't look like the language of any race, it should be some kind of mysterious spell.
Moran closed his eyes and raised his arms into the air. As she progressed, Draenor noticed that the mound of dirt was shaking gently, and a young shoot was actually emerging from the ground.
“salvana!”
Everyone hurriedly recited the incantation to the rhythm of Moran, only to see the shoots scattered on the ground as if they were exploding, and within a minute, the entire clearing was overgrown with dense plants.
"It's ...... What magic?! Cooper sat down on the ground in fright, and what was happening before him was like witchcraft.
"Haha, it's not magic, it's just one of my 'divinity' abilities, which can make plants grow quickly by adjusting the temperature, and of course it can only be done with water and sunlight. That's probably why I'm called a shrine maiden. Moran said with a wry smile.
"The final work in the camp is done, and the next thing is to rest well and get ready for the rest of the journey." Vekily seemed to be no stranger to Moran's abilities, and she patted Draenor on the back, turned and walked with Jeanne to the side of the camp to wait for a sumptuous dinner.
