Chapter 870: White Deer Ruins
After the formation of the World Tree sigil, Leo tried to familiarize himself with the World Tree sigil as well as he was familiar with the other sigil powers in his own home.
At the beginning, after trying various means, he found that the mark of the World Tree had no other effect other than its strong restraint on the power of nightmares, and it could neither provide him with a special power like the crystallized serpent, nor provide him with a great deal of knowledge like the mark of the webweaver.
Leo didn't feel any regrets about this, although the World Tree Mark couldn't give him too much power, it was also good to be able to effectively restrain the power of the nightmare and help him control this commonly used power more easily.
However, in the process of hurrying later, he gradually discovered that the World Tree Seal seemed to have undergone some changes, and the original effect of restraining the power of the Nightmare was still there, and at the same time, another auxiliary effect was gradually produced, that is, the effect of the True Eye Mark was increased.
Through the enhancement of the World Tree Seal, when Leo turned on the Spiritual Vision and activated the Mark of the True Eye, he was able to see the operation of the world's energy and the details of the composition of matter.
It is precisely because of this that Leo tries to help Tessa Mocha improve the World Tree Seed in his body, because he can clearly feel that as the World Tree Seed is raised, he gets more and more support abilities from the imprint.
After confirming from Tessa Mocha that there was no need to hunt the Gutamon, Leo went to the ruins of the White Hart Tribe, as Sylvia had proposed.
However, Leo's sleigh can only seat two people, so Tessa Mocha uses her ability to cause some vine seeds to grow quickly, and reshapes the shape of the sleigh in the process of growth.
In the process of building the sleigh, Tessa Mocha does not bypass the two Mister and Randall, and the two recessive mutants who think they are well-informed are completely shocked by this scene and can't help but call the miracle one after another.
Once the sleigh was ready, Leo dragged it behind and let Mister and Randall lie in it, and then spread his psionic wings and slid quickly across the snow with the strong northern winds, moving towards the Vinowian Mountains.
Although they had seen a sled move fast without any power, it was still incredible for Mister and Randall to experience the speed at which it moved.
The sleigh was fast, and it took only one meal to reach a high mountain on the outskirts of the Vinowian Mountains, which seemed to be a landmark, and Landall, who specialized in geography, quickly recognized the mountain and identified his current location.
Later, after Randall pointed out the location of the site where the ruins of the White Deer Tribe were located, the group continued on their way, and soon they came to the hill.
It's not entirely true to say it's a hill, because in its overall shape, the so-called hill is actually more like a huge object arching up after hitting the ground, and the whole shape is in the shape of an encirclement, just blocking the wind blowing from the north, making it a perfect haven.
In addition, at the site of the impact, the ground subsided, forming a huge lake, the surface of the lake was frozen, but there was still water under the ice, and for unknown reasons, the vegetation here seemed to grow well, and a large forest grew around the hills and lakes.
Because of the barrier of the forest, the wind speed is much smaller, and the vegetation here is very dense, which is not suitable for sledding fast, so after reaching the forest periphery on the south side of the hill, the group no longer uses the sled, but walks on the soft snow.
As they walked through the forest, everyone clearly felt that the cold wind had become very light, and the temperature had naturally increased a lot.
Tessa Mocha felt that there was a strong vitality that was not found in other parts of the Northland, and looked at the thriving Northland pines around her, and couldn't help but wonder: "The environment here is so good, why doesn't anyone come to settle here?" Just because this was once a settlement of the White Deer Tribe, would you give up such a good location in order to respect the White Deer Tribe?"
"It shouldn't be because this is the settlement of the White Deer Tribe," Mister, who specializes in the Northland tribes, immediately replied: "In the Northlands, there are many tribal settlements left by the White Deer Tribe, and the current Northland tribes still live there, so they should not give up this place because of the White Deer Tribe." ”
"Maybe it has something to do with the location of this settlement. Randall speculated: "This is located in the western part of the Northlands, there are few forests around, in the past it was a swamp of the Black Forest, and there are very few places suitable for the settlement of the Northland tribes, no more than five, if there is a tribe to settle here, it is equivalent to cutting off contact with other Northland tribes, and the Northland tribes are all in groups, and a single tribe will never be able to survive in such a cruel environment as the Northland, so no tribe chooses this place as a settlement." ”
"Perhaps!" Tessa Mocha felt that Randall was right, but she always felt that something was wrong, but she had no intention of getting too interested in the matter, so she didn't ask any further.
The group quickly walked through the forest, although the forest also breathed a large number of northland creatures hiding from the wind and snow, and there were some fierce beasts among these creatures, but after entering the forest, Tessa Mocha's body exuded an invisible power, this power was peaceful and stable, and through the connection of trees, it was transmitted to every tree in the forest, soothing the restless creatures in the forest, so that these creatures did not regard them as prey.
After passing through the forest, a huge lake surrounded by the forest appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the surface of the lake has formed a thick layer of ice, like a mirror, it is conceivable that if the weather is fine, then the smooth lake surface can definitely reflect the dazzling light, and the ruins of the White Deer tribe are located on the lake, behind the hillside.
When I first heard about the ruins of the White Deer Tribe, the images that came to everyone's minds, including Leo, should be some simple mud houses, tent houses on the ground that remained, some low stone walls, etc., anyway, the scenes in their minds were primitive and backward.
However, the ruins of the White Deer tribe that they see now are a little surprising to Leo, because this ruins are very much like some kind of civilization building, the stone houses built on the mountain are neatly aligned, as if they were hewn out, layer by layer to the mountainside, the solemn temple is located at the top of all the buildings, all of them are made of large stones, and there is a square in front of the temple, and there are some stone pillars around the square, but those stone pillars have now collapsed.
The ruins in front of you look like a relic of a high civilization in every way, which is completely inconsistent with the impression people had of the Northland tribes in the past.
"Was this built by the White Deer Tribe?" Tessa Moore had always thought in her mind that the Northland tribes were the same as the primitive tribes in the depths of the wasteland that were still uncivilized, but now seeing the scene in front of her really turned her past views on the back.
"It should be. The person who answered Tessa Mocha was not Mister and Randall, but Sylvia, I saw her look at the ruins in front of her, and said: "The White Deer tribe has unified all the tribes in the Northland a long time ago, you must know that the people in the Southern Black Forest were still tribes at that time, and they did not build a country, and the White Deer tribe can unify the Northland tribe, and it will definitely be able to promote the development of civilization to a very high position, and it is not difficult to build such a building." ”
"What happened to the White Deer Tribe?" asked Leo, who had never spoken.
Sylvia didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "The White Deer tribe later broke down into the current tribes of the Northlands. ”
"Don't you think it's weird?" Leo frowned and said, " A White Deer tribe that has unified the entire Northland should be very strong, and until now all the tribes in the Northland are proud of themselves as descendants of the White Deer Tribe, so the White Deer Tribe should also be very popular with the people, judging from the architecture here, the civilization of the White Deer Tribe at that time also developed to a very high bottom, not only surpassing the south of the Vilun Continent, but even other continents, there are only a handful of ancient civilizations that can compare with it, such a civilization that is extremely strong in itself and has no internal strife should establish a country according to reason, how can it be possible to disperse again into some small tribesSomething must have happened in between?"
Hearing Leo's words, everyone was stunned, because they really didn't think about how the White Deer tribe was disbanded, they just knew from the documents left behind that there was originally a White Deer tribe in the Northland that unified the entire Northland, and this tribe was the source of the entire Northland tribe and so on, as for the doubts mentioned by Leo, they didn't think much about it at all.
However, now after Leo's inquiry, they all feel that something is wrong, because the suspicion that Leo said is too obvious and too important, and anyone who is engaged in the study of the Northland tribe should have such doubts when they see the relevant materials, but they completely ignore this matter, it is too suspicious, as if there is some kind of force in this world that is influencing their minds, making them take the initiative to ignore the problems about the White Deer tribe.
When everyone was stunned, Leo did not continue to ask, but turned his head to look at the lake next to him, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the ice on the surface of the lake and see the scene at the bottom of the lake.
Sylvia noticed Leo's actions and couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"
"There should have been something at the bottom of the lake, but it was salvaged, and only some debris remained. Leo told him what he saw, then looked at the temple on the hillside, and said, "I'm afraid that the temple was built for the things at the bottom of the lake, let's go and see." ”
With that, he walked towards the temple on the hillside, and he had no interest in exploring the other houses around him.
Seeing this, the others followed, still thinking about the question just now.
The group soon came to the temple on the hillside, although the temple had been built for many years, but because of the special environment of the Northland, coupled with its location, the temple was generally well preserved, only the stone pillars on the front lawn collapsed due to strong winds and other reasons.
However, the patterns on the surface of these stone pillars are still well preserved, and they can clearly identify what is engraved on them, which is the best information for the study of the White Deer tribe for Mister and Landall, who are engaged in the study of the White Deer Tribe.
However, now they are more interested in what Leo says about the bottom of the lake, because in their opinion, even people like Leo and Sylvia are so concerned about the things in the lake, so what is at the bottom of the lake must be important.
However, things were destined to disappoint Mister and Randall, and when they entered the mystery, there was nothing of note, and the only thing that attracted the attention of the entrant was a strangely shaped pedestal in the middle of the temple.
If you look at the altar, this irregular pedestal is obviously not in line with anyone's aesthetics, and if someone made the altar like this, the maker would definitely be caught and sacrificed alive.
But now that such an irregularly shaped altar was placed in the middle of the temple, it was evident that it was in line with the wishes of the people here at that time, which made Mister and Randall wonder what the purpose of this altar was.
However, they didn't need to wonder for too long, and soon Sylvia gave the answer, "Is that what was salvaged from the lake on top of this?"
"It should be. Leo walked around the altar, stretched out his hand to wipe some parts of the altar, and said: "When the White Deer Tribe abandoned this place, the things should have been moved, and now the things may be in the Royal Academy of the French Empire, or they may be stored in the royal secret treasury. ”
"Do you know what that is?" asked Sylvia.
And Sylvia's question made others feel a little inexplicable, because even if Leo knew that there was something at the bottom of the lake, and it was salvaged and worshipped as an item of the gods, but these things had happened many years ago, not to mention Leo, even those who specialized in the study of the White Deer tribe could not know, unless it was the royal family of the French Empire, which was extremely close to the White Deer tribe, it was possible to know what it was.
However, to their surprise, after hearing Sylvia's question, Leo nodded and said, "I know what it is, but it shouldn't be of much use to a primitive tribe, unless ......"
Leo suddenly thought of something, walked out of the temple quickly, re-entered the lake, and under the gaze of everyone, broke the ice on the surface of the lake and jumped into the lake.
