Chapter 175: The Ambition Caused by the Star Totem Array
Caius fell silent, he was still calming his chaotic emotions and needed to be still.
Baroque was a little apprehensive to see the High Priest Radamane looking at him.
"Baroque, I need to thank you first of all, on behalf of all the shamanic sacrifices. Brave you, you led your people from thousands of miles away through the dangerous land of mankind, over the Kundu Mayan Mountains, and back to their ancestral homeland in the northern tundra, a feat that the bravest warriors can do. And you also brought back our long-lost shamanic inheritance, the [Star Totem Array Slate], did you know? When the Totem Array Slate was brought back to the Valley of Miracles by Shaman Siro and displayed in front of all the sacrifices, we all wept bitterly. β
"Since the largest invasion and massacre of the human race thousands of years ago, the Holy See of the Apocalypse has used a conspiracy to assassinate all the Star Sacrifices and destroy the only Star Altar we have. The Star Totem Array has been lost and dispersed ever since, causing a heavy blow to our shamanic lineage. Our army has lost the strongest support of shamanic sacrifices, and its combat power has plummeted. In order to preserve the last bit of strength, the shamans had to endure for thousands of years, cowering in the Valley of Miracles and licking their wounds. Because of this, the tribesmen misunderstood that the shamans were greedy for life and afraid of death, and forgot the blood and courage of the orcs. β
High Priest Radaman said, shaking his head sadly. All the shamans here are gloomy. Baroque was silent, he somewhat understood...... These shamanic sacrifices were left in the Valley of Miracles, and although they could not help the outside races, they also reduced the danger of being wiped out by humans, and at least left some of the spark of shamanic inheritance. Otherwise, once they all walk out of the Valley of Miracles and are surrounded and slaughtered by humans, I am afraid that the six-colored beast robe sacrifice and battle shaman inheritance will also be cut off.
But these reasons are far-fetched to sway the Baroque...... Even if the shaman elders have 10,000 reasons, it doesn't mean that they can unscrupulously go to the blue wolf tribe and try to covet all the benefits of annexing the blue wolf tribe.
"Baroque, we should apologize to you for your selflessness in handing over the [Star Totem Array Slate] to us. Not only are we not grateful, but we are carried away by the excitement, suspecting that you have secretly hidden a part of the inheritance of the totem array, and then vainly trying to get more. This is the farce of Onetto and some of the elders sending troops to your tribe. Fortunately, it didn't cause you too much harm, and we have to apologize to you for that. The high priest bowed solemnly to the Baroque, and all the shamans around him bowed down. Baroque avoided it in a panic, and said with a touched face: "High priest." You make me afraid! I do hate Onetto...... Because he has killed many of my people, but I have not complained against you. I have always believed that you are innocent in this matter and you do not have to apologize,"
"Anyway. We have hurt you, and I promise that we will give you a satisfactory answer. The High Priest said. Then he looked at the Great Shaman of Silo: "Shaman Silo, has the construction of the Star Totem Array been completed?"
"Yes, High Priest. Old Siro smiled very happily: "We have been studying for several months, copying the carved pattern array on the stone slab little by little, and finally adding the totem pole made of the branches of the Tree of Life generously donated by the Baroque, and finally perfectly reproduce the [Star Totem Array]. Just today, the totem array succeeded, and the Baroque happened to be in the Valley of Miracles. This is truly a blessing from the spirit of the totem!"
The totem array was copied? Baroque was surprised and delighted. He came to the Valley of Miracles this time for the totem array. Although this set of stone slabs is only a simplified version, it is much inferior to the full version of the Star Totem Array in the closed hall of the Gray Dwarf underground cavern. But its complexity is not something that the Baroque can easily decipher, which requires a lot of time and patience to scrutinize little by little, and what the Baroque lacks most is time.
Flipping through the large number of animal skin scrolls presented by Prince Buclay, Baroque discovers that although the Orcs were once defeated by humans, they retreated into the northern tundra. But the orc army is still very strong. When two legions fought one-on-one, although they were inferior, they were not as one-sided as they are now. Even with an outstanding commander and a good shamanic team, the orc legions can in turn suppress the human army.
That is, from a thousand years ago. Humanity is coming. With a population more than ten times larger than the orcs, and a terrifying number of legions with no less combat power, the orcs are losing ground one after another, and the losses can no longer be described as heavy, and they can be wiped out. At that time, the shamanic sacrifice was badly damaged, and the shaman witch doctor broke off. The Star Sacrifice was slaughtered in its entirety, and the only Star Altar was destroyed. Fortunately, a tribe of the Frostwolf Clan in the past burrowed into the Kundu Maya Mountains, escaped into the gravel wasteland in the western part of the continent after life and death, and took with them a set of star totem array stone slabs and totem poles of the array eye, so as to retain the hope of revival.
One of those scrolls states that the Star Totem Array is the core of the main body, and it can spawn many magic circles for different purposes. For example, the totem poles used by shamans and rituals are engraved with ornamental circles that are a variant of the star totem array. The scroll says that there is a connection between the shamanic sacrifices and the shamanic power, and through a relatively simple magic circle, a very powerful special power can be formed. In the orc legions, the power of this shamanic connection can greatly increase combat power and defend against some attacks by human formations. Baroque is here for this magical [Shamanic Power Connection Circle]. As long as they have this kind of strength, the hundred battle sacrifices in the grassland of the horse breeding land can barely cover and support two orc 10,000 teams. As long as the power of the human army array is neutralized and blessed by the power of the totem, the orc warriors who enter a state of semi-madness can defeat any human army with devastating devastation.
Baroque needs this power, and he also wants more battle shamans to help him, so he does not hesitate to bow his head and make peace with the Valley of Miraclesββββββ what the high priest said just now is certainly touching, but if you want Baroque to be bewitched and willingly accept its command, then don't be delusional. He is realistic and sober. Unlike Caius, the great chief of the White Deer Clan next to him, he was still stuck in guilt and didn't get rid of it. Baroque vaguely felt that even if this guy was as outstanding as himself, he always had some bad premonitions!
All the shamans were excited, and Silo triumphantly introduced the results: "Last night, a few elders and I activated the Star Totem Array ......!"
Oh ......! No wonder there was a moment last night when I felt that the sky around me had changed a little, the stars seemed to be extraordinarily bright, and the power of the shaman was extremely smooth, it turned out that this was the reason.
Everyone was a little impatient to see what the Shamans had done, and the High Priest of Radaman smiled and agreed.
This is the most sacred temple for shamans to worship their ancestors, and the star totem array will naturally be lined up here. Siro and a few elders left in a hurry, and soon arrived with dozens of younger shaman apprentices, carrying totem poles, circle slabs, and the utensils used in the array, metals, crystals, and ......! Baroque was also a shaman, and he stepped forward to observe how Silo and the others constructed a totem circle. Caius was completely ignorant of this, so he had to stand on the outermost side, and his eyes could not help but show envy. The High Priest of Radaman whispered softly to him, as if to comfort him and give some reassurance. In short, Caius looked happy.
Different from the fixation of the human magic array, because the orcs are always on the move, the totem array constructed is also convenient for dismantling. Silo and a few old shamans and their students were busy building the circle, and it was completed quickly. Although Baroque could not be learned at once, it was also very rewarding and clarified many doubts. He secretly decided that he must ask Siro Shaman for advice on the way of the circle when he had time............ After all, there is still this genuine Star Totem Array under the cave ground, and he will go back to study it deeply in the future and strive to replicate it. When the time comes, you can comprehend the power and cultivate the shamanic sacrifice yourself, and you can really get rid of the Valley of Miracles!
A three-zhang diameter six-pointed star totem array was quickly constructed, with six totem poles inserted into the six corners. Baroque found that five of them were made from the branches of the Tree of Life, and only one of them was an ordinary oak totem pole, and it seems that the Valley of Miracles also has two Tree of Life totem poles. Sira confidently chanted the incantation and opened the circle. The entire formation emitted a soft light, and suddenly ...... The light dissipated, and the normal totem pole cracked in the middle.
"Alas, this ordinary totem pole can't withstand the power of the formation, if only there was another totem pole made of the branches of the Tree of Life. An old shaman shook his head and sighed, looking at Baroque intentionally or not.
Baroque sneered in his heart, and he suddenly understood that these bastards were the idea of beating the totem pole on his body. But...... I can't ask for it!
Baroque immediately generously took out the totem pole, handed it to the old shaman, and said with a sincere face: "Use my totem pole as a gift to the Valley of Miracles!"
Sure enough, the old shaman happily took it, and without even shirking it, he directly replaced the broken totem pole. Siro Shaman, like a scholar of deep learning, did not care about these things, and did not know these dirty things. Immediately began chanting the incantation, and the Star Totem Array glowed again.
At this time, it was still afternoon, and it was not dark, but when the totem array was triggered, all the shaman sacrifices could feel a wonderful power permeating, as if the sea of souls communicated a new and magnificent strange world, where the power was so exquisite and vast............!
This is the Star Totem Array, and even if it is a simplified version, it will benefit all shamans greatly. It is conceivable that if they meditate and practice under the totem array in the future, they will definitely make their shamanic path improve by leaps and bounds!
The most surprising thing was Baroque, he felt that the essence of the stars was absorbed by himself, and the purple power that could not be shaken by thunder finally increased a little. The four brothers of the wolf who were hiding on their bodies shouted excitedly in the sea of souls -- their strength was also growing!
