Chapter 79 Answer Time of the Oak Wise
Sean looked around nervously. There was no one around, only the silent oak forest. Old Yiguo had already walked away. His sled had long disappeared at the end of the forest. Even the dwarf goblins were busy collecting acorns in the distance.
Sean took a deep breath, thought for a moment and made a decision. It was better to choose a day than to meet the day, so start summoning at this time and here.
Although it is unlikely that the summoning ceremony will be intercepted, it is always because of the long night and the dreams.
He first took out the old book from his pocket, thought about it, and took out his notebook and pen. Every word of the Oak Wise Man is precious knowledge and wisdom, and it is necessary to record it.
Then there is the pocket watch. The book only mentions that the Oak Wise can only stay for a while after being summoned, but how long this period is, it is just like the "appropriate amount" and "several" in the recipe, and Sean has no idea.
He is planning to record the length of this time, so that if he has the chance to summon it in the future, he can control the time more accurately.
What else? Oh, by the way, he took out a knife, cut his palms open, and then applied the blood on the bark.
Blood is the key to communicating with the Spirit of Nature. In fact, in many summoning rituals, blood is a necessary condition for enhancing the summoner's perception ability and improving communication efficiency.
After doing all this, he spread the old book in front of the oak tree and recited the mantra loudly.
【The immortal existence from the realm of Thousand Forests.】
[The spirit of nature, the friend of the oak tree, the wise elder who communicates with all worlds and understands all things.]
[I ask you for advice with a humble heart, I communicate with you with my blood, and I trouble you with difficult things.]
[In the name of all spirits in the realm of thousands of forests, in the name of the immortal giant tree Yam Hill, in the name of the contract signed by you and my tribes and ancient times.]
[I welcome you to this world.]
As he recited the last spell, a gust of wind suddenly blew around the oak tree.
The wind was not strong, it was more like a fresh airflow, blowing the dead leaves falling one after another.
A strange creaking sound suddenly appeared in the oak tree, the branches were swaying, the bark was slowly squirming, and the green new leaves continued to grow from the branches, full of greenness, as if the face of the oak tree in front of you was waking up from your sleep and stretching your limbs.
The green leaves grow more and more, almost covering the sky.
Sean looked in surprise as the human face on the bark gradually moved, cracking a huge mouth, and two scarred wood tumors also cracked, revealing the eyes of two huge fish-like fish.
The two eyes turned around and soon locked on Sean. Being gaze made Sean feel a little nervous. He tried not to show hostility. He forced himself to avoid taking out the weapon, but took off the fur hat on his head and bowed his head.
"You called me, young human, I heard your desire for knowledge and the doubts in your heart. Now I have appeared in front of you and say the questions you want to ask. If I know the answer, I will definitely not be stingy with answers."
The sound of this old oak tree is as old as its appearance, but it is also particularly peaceful, making people feel calm when they hear it.
Sean has many questions, but time is tight, so he can only ask first. Considering that he is going to participate in winter hunting next, his first question is-
"My first question, great wise man, what exactly is Nord's god?"
"Haha, an interesting question." The face showed a meditative expression, as if thinking about how to word it. It thought for a very long time - about ten seconds, but every second made Sean feel particularly long.
"First of all, you need to understand that God is just a general term for existence beyond one's own cognition. They are not the same type of things.
Nord gods are the incarnation of human faith, so they can probably be called faith gods, a spiritual entity with extraordinary power. Their power comes from human imagination, and the strength of power comes from the quantity and quality of human believers. Do you understand so?"
Sean suddenly realized, thinking that's what it was.
He did hear about the things like faith in God. In a sense, most of the gods in ancient China were of this kind, relying on the power of incense or the power of faith. No wonder God Nord is so useless. It should be because Nord population is too small. Now Nord people only have millions of people, and they were only even fewer a few hundred years ago. This also explains why Nord gods annexed each other, because their existence depends on the power of faith. If more people believe in you, fewer people will naturally believe in me, so everyone will have to separate life and death.
If the Brightons had not intervened in the middle, they would have said that they would not allow only one god to remain in the end.
But now no one believes in the Lord Nord, so have they already perished?
"So does the Nord God still exist now? Will they leave any real legacy if they die?"
This is what Sean really cares about. Whether Nord God is strong or weak is not important, life or death is not important. What matters is whether he can get any benefits from it.
The Oak Wise Blinked (Shawn guessed that it should be a nodding action).
"Belief in God is usually not so easy to disappear. Even if only one believer praises their names, it can still exist in theory. I can feel that their remaining power is still shrouding this forest. This may also indirectly indicate that Nord's gods have not completely disappeared.
But their power should be very weak...
As for heritage, anything that has existed will always leave some trace in the world, let alone gods, they will always leave something. When faith is gone, the divine power dissipates, and faith that God says remains often condenses into the most essential and purest form, which may be an animal, a sword, or even a stone. Usually, such things will have some residual power. If you can find it, you can use the remaining divine power."
Sean became more and more excited when he heard this. What should be true for the treasures in the Temple of the Gods?
He suddenly thought of it, so he took off the jade necklace on his neck, "Is this the case?"
The wise oak tree stared at the necklace without blinking, a strip of paper fell from above, and green branches and leaves gently stroked the necklace.
"Yes, I can feel that there is still the power of nature left on this gem. Although it is very few, it is pure and solid. It can make your body healthy and remove diseases. The power of nature on it makes me feel very close. Unfortunately, she must have been dead for a long time."
Sean nodded happily, then this time, Donghun himself must not miss it. Imagine that if all the treasures in the treasure house can be obtained, it would be amazing.
"The second question is, where can I get a large number of magic items?"
The Oak Wise Man thought again, but this time it was much faster, and it spoke after a few seconds.
"The magical items in reality are made by humans. I'm afraid you have to ask your kind of person for this. However, there is indeed a place where there are a large number of magical items, and they are all unowned objects. Do you know the legendary Chaos Sea?
It was a world that had not yet evolved, filled with the most primitive magic energy - the power of chaos. Sometimes some external objects would accidentally fall into it. Under the influence of the power of chaos, a special mind gradually emerged, and had strange and powerful magic power. These naturally born magic items are often extremely powerful, and even left various legends in the ancient past.
But be careful, the magical items in the Chaos Sea are 'wild'. They are not made by humans, so their purpose is not to be prepared for humans. Contact with such items is often accompanied by great danger."
Chaos Sea? Sean does remember that it was mentioned in the book that it was a world full of chaotic energy, which was fostered by many strange existences that humans could not understand.
Even the arrogant ancient wizard Medorian seemed quite afraid of this.
It seems that I have to study it carefully. If I can summon a bunch of magic items, kill them and then extract the magic liquid. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
However, this matter may be discussed next year. To refine the magic liquid, you need that special alchemy device. This kind of thing cannot be done in a small place like Nordforson. I am afraid I will have to wait to go back to the sword castle in the future.
He looked at the pocket watch and it had been more than ten minutes. Sean was not sure how much time was left, so he decided to pick the important question.
"What language is used in this book? Can you translate it for me?"
He turned the Book of Old to the front part, the strange text used by the author of the book, and he still didn't even know the origin, so he spread it out and put it in front of the Oak Wise.
The Oak Wiseman looked at the text, and the grains of the trees squeezed out a frown expression, which looked a little confused.
"I have to say that you really stumped me. I have never seen such words before, and I don't know their origins. You must know that I have wandered in countless worlds, but I have never seen anything like this...
But I have a bold guess. I have heard in different worlds that only exist in legends - the Sakadumu people. It is said that they exist outside time and space, and have mastered knowledge and wisdom beyond gods. They once ruled all worlds and mastered the authority of all realms. However, one day, all the mysterious disappears, and all traces are erased, leaving only some scattered legends and remaining shadows in ancient myths of different civilizations."
"I don't know if they actually existed, but my spiritual sense tells me that your book is likely to be related to it."
