The Fire Dancer caravan spent the night in the camp of the Kata tribe, and the next morning they made some trades with the people of the Kata tribe and sold some daily necessities, and exchanged some beast skins and monster bones from the Kata tribe.

Although the lifestyle of the Kata tribe is still mainly tribal, like all tribes that have integrated into civilized society, they are no longer much different from other civilized societies in terms of clothing, daily necessities, weapons and equipment, etc., and the only thing that remains unchanged is their shamanic totem beliefs.

When Leo was in the Kingdom of England, he was exposed to the knowledge of shamanism, but that knowledge was sifted by the scholars of the Kingdom of England, and some of it was changed beyond recognition according to their own wishes.

For example, although the primitive shamanic ritual is bloody, it contains special meaning, while the high-ranking scholars in the Kingdom of England simply think that this is bloody and barbaric, and simply delete all the meanings behind it, and only retain the bloody part of it, so that the vast majority of ordinary people in the Kingdom of England think that the shamanic belief is a mysterious belief in blood, primitive and barbarism.

In addition to shamanic rituals, there are also tribal totems that have been completely changed beyond recognition by those scholars, and even for a period of time, the Orthodox Church has been influenced by those scholars, and the tribal totems of shamanism are regarded as evil god beliefs, and it is precisely because of this concept that the contradiction between the colonists and the wasteland tribes at that time is almost irreconcilable.

Leo naturally also has some research on that period of history, especially in a note of the tower wizard, there is a detailed record of the tower wizard saw a colonist against the wasteland tribe battle, although the colonists have a far stronger weapon than the wasteland tribe, but when the wasteland tribe fell into disadvantage, the powerful power summoned by the tribal shaman from the tribal totem easily destroyed the colonists' army, leaving a deep impression on the tower wizard who was watching, and recorded the relevant content in detail, and also explained his own views on the advantages and disadvantages of the tribal totem power。

When the Fire Dancer Caravan was trading with the Kata tribe, Leo, who had always been curious about the tribal totem, naturally did not miss this opportunity to study the tribal totem up close, and came to the guardian totem in the center of the camp, and the spirit net tentatively touched and infiltrated the inside of the totem pole.

The whole totem pole is carved from the main pole of a large tree, about the height of two adults, one person can hug it, and the patterns on the surface of the totem are mainly divided into three layers, the bottom is the heroes of the tribe, the middle is the legends of the past tribes, and the top layer is a monster made of different beasts.

In Leo's view, the shamanic totem pole is not so much a body of faith, but rather a strange object created because of the tribal belief, and its core structure is very similar to those artifacts in the church that have been blessed with divine power and magic, but the difference is that those artifacts are derived from the gods and have obvious divine marks, while these totem poles are derived from the faith itself, and in a sense it is an ownerless strange object.

It is precisely for this reason that even if Leo's spiritual network penetrates the interior of the totem pole and unscrupulously studies its power structure and core, it has never caused any counterattack, unless the tribe's shaman activates this totem pole and allows its hidden power to be brought into play, it is possible to fight back against any intruder.

Although this totem pole is ownerless, people who are not from the Kata tribe cannot take it, and even if they do, it is impossible to use the power in it, because this totem pole has the faith mark of the tribe where it is located, which is called the tribal spirit in shamanic beliefs, and in Leo's opinion, it is more like some kind of psionic sigil-like power.

Psionic imprint is the most common psionic skill, basically low-level psionic people can already use it, just like the way Leo uses it, most psionic imprints are just pre-skills used by psionic people to mark targets, and they usually need to be used with other psionic skills, such as Leo is mostly used with spiritual nets, so psionic imprints are also classified as auxiliary skills.

However, now the Tribal Spirit in the totem pole gave Leo a little inspiration, and he felt that he might be able to improve some psionic sigils and make it stronger.

"Did you come up with anything?" while Leo was studying the tribal spirit inside the totem pole, the shaman in charge of the camp of the Kata tribe came to Leo and asked.

The shaman was a middle-aged man, like most shamans, dressed in clothes made of tree bark, with some bones hanging from his body, some patterns of special meaning tattooed on his face, his hair was carefully braided into braids, and various ornaments hung on the braids, some of which were fine headdresses, while others were of feathers, leaves, and bones, and he held a cane in his hand, which is not correct to say because it was more like a shrunken totem pole.

Although the middle-aged man was dressed as a standard tribal shaman, Leo could tell from the other party's speech and demeanor that he should belong to the new shaman, not the old shaman who followed the old shamanic beliefs.

"Don't you mind?" Leo asked rhetorically instead of answering the other person's question after looking at the other party.

"Since it's placed in a public place where everyone can see it, it doesn't matter if someone studies it out of curiosity. The shaman smiled and said, "And I once studied in the Kingdom of England, and I know that you scholars are all like newborn beasts, you will be curious when you see anything, and if you are curious, you will come to study it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Leo and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the Moonlit Night Song of the Kata tribe, you can also call me Henry, this is the name I was given to me by my academy tutor when I went to study in the Kingdom of England." ”

"Leo Dodd. Leo shook the other man's hand and introduced himself.

"Leo Dodd?" After hearing Leo's name, Moonlit Night Changge couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Leo's appearance seriously, and said with some surprise: "No wonder I looked at Your Excellency just now and felt very familiar, it turned out to be you!"

Leo asked, "You know me?"

Moonlit Night Changge, who recognized Leo's identity, showed great respect to Leo, lowered his tone, and said, "Yes, I have heard Lord Tolan mention you, and I know some things about you, but your current appearance is too young, so just now I thought you were just a blood relative of Lord Tolan. ”

"Do you know Tolan?" Leo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at the mechanical bows and crossbows on the camp guards, and there were marks of the Dodd group on the obvious part of the bow handle, obviously the weapons equipped by the warriors of the Kata tribe were almost all from the weapons made by Dodd Industries, which also represented that the relationship between this Kata tribe and Dodd Industries was not ordinary.

As Leo had guessed, Moonlit Night Song nodded and said proudly, "Lord Tolan lived in our tribe for a while a few years ago, and it was during that time that he came into contact with shamanism, and since then, our tribe has been in close contact with the Dodd group. ”

Leo could vaguely feel that the close contacts mentioned by the Moonlit Night Song were probably not only commercial exchanges, but also a deeper level of cooperation, and even from the respectful tone of the Moonlit Night Song's mention of Tolan, it could be seen that Tolan's status in the Kata tribe was probably extraordinary.

However, the Moonlit Night Song didn't mention it, and Leo naturally didn't ask more, he asked a few questions about Tolan afterwards, and although the Moonlit Night Song answered quickly, the words were deliberately vague and did not explain.

From the words of the moonlit night song, Leo could hear that the other party still had doubts about his identity and did not fully believe in himself, so when it came to the matter of Tolan and the Dodd Group, his words were also hidden and vague.

Knowing that there was no useful information about Tolan from Moonlit Night's Song, Leo didn't ask any further, but instead discussed shamanic beliefs with Moonnight Song, the shaman of the Kata tribe.

Maybe because the topic didn't involve Tolan and Dodd Group, or maybe because the topic became what the other party was best at, and then the discussion between Leo and Moonnight Changge was not as vague as before, but spoke very deeply, as if Moonlight Changge wanted to make Leo a shaman through this conversation.

Although the conversation between the two did not involve any shamanic abilities that used supernatural powers, it was easier for Leo to understand the nature of shamanic powers by understanding the primordial teachings at the heart of shamanic beliefs than by understanding a shamanic ability.

The two discussed and exchanged until the end of the trade between the Fire Dancer Caravan and the Kata Tribe, and the Fire Dancer Caravan packed up and prepared for the road, although most of the time, Leo was just a questioner, and Moonlit Night Song was just an answerer, but both parties were very satisfied with this exchange of shamanic beliefs.

Leo was able to discover a lot of misconceptions about shamanic beliefs in the past, and obtained the most core content about shamanic beliefs, and Moonlit Night Long Song was also able to reorganize his understanding of shamanic beliefs from Leo's tricky key questions, and he even felt that it might not take long for his shamanic power to break through to a higher level.

Feeling that the moonlit night song had gained a lot, before Leo left with the caravan, he copied a copy of the fundamentalist teachings he had copied from the shamanism in the holy land of the wasteland, although he himself was not a believer in the fundamentalist teachings, but that did not mean that he did not pay attention to the content of the fundamentals, he felt that if Leo really wanted to know more about the shamanic beliefs, then it was the best place to start with the fundamentalist teachings.

Leo did not refuse the kindness of the long song on a moonlit night, because he was also curious about the contents, and almost all the scholars who specialized in shamanic studies in the kingdom of England had mentioned the fundamentalist teachings of shamanic holy places, but they did not mention the contents of them, and it was clear from the lines that the scholars did not consider this ancient knowledge to be worth studying.

If it had been before, Leo might have the same opinion as those scholars, equating the fundamentalist teachings of shamanism with the primitive beliefs of the Black Forest tribes on the Veron continent, but in the conversation with Moonlit Night Changge, he rediscovered shamanic beliefs and felt that he had developed wrong ideas because of his preconceived ideas, and starting with fundamentalist teachings might help him reorganize the correct information about shamanic beliefs.

Watching the Fire Dancer caravan disappear into the dense woods at the end of the mountain road, and the noisy Kata tribe camp just now also returned to its original calm, Moonlit Night Changge arranged the people on duty, and after assigning today's task, he quickly returned to his own house, and then took out a small backpack from the house, left the Fire Dancer camp, and walked alone towards an unnamed mountain next to the camp.

On the way, the moonlit night Changge also sensed that something was wrong with this area, when he walked this road before, he would definitely encounter attacks by monsters or wild beasts, and there were many attacks, but this time he did not encounter any attacks, and even after establishing contact with the surrounding trees through shaman spells, he found that this area was not to mention monsters and beasts, even insects and birds had disappeared.

This anomaly reminded him of the strange appearance of the Fire Dancer caravan outside the camp last night, and he felt that this matter was probably not simple, but the most important thing for him at this moment was not to investigate why the anomaly was happening in this forest area, but another matter.

The moonlit night is very familiar with the surrounding environment, and it is easy to walk through the dense forest to the top of the mountain.

When he got to the place, he put the backpack behind him on the ground, took out a pure metal box without any gaps, then put his hand on the box and said a word.

Leo would definitely be a little surprised if he heard the words spoken by the Moonlit Night Long Song here, because this is a cosmic lingua franca word, and its meaning is simple, which is to start.

With the command of the moonlit night song, the metal box without any gaps quickly split into geometries of different shapes, and under the guidance of an invisible force, it was reassembled into a spire-like device, and then a ball of light appeared at the top of the device, and it didn't take long for the light to disappear, replaced by a human head image, and this person's appearance was somewhat similar to Leo's, but more handsome, and the overall look was more like Sylvia.

"What happened to the Kata tribe?" the man asked, directly to Moonlit Night Changge.

"Nothing. The moonlit night Changge hurriedly explained.

The man frowned and asked, "Since nothing major happened, why use this emergency contact, you should know that there is a limit to the number of times this contact device can be used." ”

"There's a reason I'm using the emergency contact to contact you. Moonlit Night Song continued, "I just saw your father, His Excellency Leo Dodd. ”
