What does the totem god of this New World look like?
Gretel meditated next to the red stone for an hour and slept well, but still couldn't figure it out.
So early the next morning, when the Red Stone Witch Festival wanted to send a guide to see them off, Grete rejected the guide, but accepted the token representing a "friend":
As long as there are no detours or delays in the journey, he is willing to walk and see all the way to the west coast. See more, learn more, and be more sure if there is a fight when he goes to save Brother Lin En.
.
To the east from the Red Stone Tribe is the White Birch Tribe. The totem god of this tribe is a white birch tree...or in other words, a white birch forest. They worship it, hold ceremonies for it, peel its bark, and carve out trees.
Come to the cave to catch the birch juice to drink.
What they are best at is making canoes from birch trees. Every adult man must own a canoe of his own to be eligible to start a family...
Although this tribe was also troubled by infectious diseases, the situation was much better than that of the Red Stone tribe. Grete saw that when they were praying in the birch forest, the leaves of the birch leaves swayed, and the responding power carried a familiar force of nature.
the taste of.
Well, as expected, different totem gods have different essences, so can they induce different powers? Grete carefully savored the magical arts inspired by the birch trees, and deeply felt that many of the magical arts of the Order of the God of Nature may be similar.
source.
Well, the difference may be that the Cult of the God of Nature worships oak trees, so the nature of the power is a little different? After all, oak trees are thick, strong, and painful when hit...
In Grete's hand, the oak staff that he had been holding in a pretense suddenly broke out of his hand, jumped up, and banged him on the forehead.
"Ouch!"
Grete held his forehead and cried.
Since level 9, this oak staff...this living oak tree has transmitted more and more knowledge to him.
Not only does it have the oak tree from which it was born, but also the condensed inheritance. Gretel suspected that so many oak trees in the inheritance land of Aiolan have packaged relevant content for it, allowing it to use every opportunity to teach its new master at any time.
.
The problem is that the temper of this oak stick is getting worse and worse. If something goes wrong, it can release a few roots, support the trunk and jump high to give itself a try.
It has the shape of a stick with a hard trunk and rough bark. It will really hurt if you hit someone!
you've changed!
When you were just born, weren't you a green and tender little oak stick that fit perfectly in your hand?
Of course, despite crying out in pain, Grete still fulfilled his duties as a doctor well by removing diseases, fighting cowpox, and popularizing knowledge about infectious diseases.
The White Birch Tribe was larger than the Red Stone Tribe, and there were many more seriously ill patients. Gretel had almost used up all his magical powers, and even Appa came to help.
Silver Moon Deer was covered in sparkling white light. When he walked in slowly, even the seriously ill patient lying on the ground struggled to get up, and then put his forehead on the ground...
Grete was really a little shocked. Then, when he came to the next tribe with the token of "friend" from the White Birch tribe, he understood instantly.
The next tribe is the reindeer tribe... In addition to growing corn, pumpkins, and beans, they also raise a large herd of deer as a source of meat and fur...
So, does the White Birch Tribe think that he brought the sacred deer of the Reindeer Tribe to help them?
Gretel soon knew that his idea was also wrong. The reindeer tribe warmly received them and asked them for help. The healers were really unfavorable during the epidemic.
After Grete used his healing skills, he was invited by the reindeer tribe to participate in their ceremony...
"Go here." The tribal leader and the great shaman, who was wearing a deerskin robe, wearing at least nine forked antlers, and a long string of white shells hanging on his chest, warmly invited everyone to follow them. Appa
He pawed nervously, turned his head, and ran away.
In [Detect Magic]'s field of vision, those white shells have almost no light, which is much worse than the gems and amber next to them.
Considering the distance between this place and the coast, Grete can probably understand that these shells are a rare treasure used to show his wealth and status.
They walked through the forest with torches and entered a deep valley. At the entrance of the valley, tall tree trunks intertwined with each other to form a fence that was more than three people high:
"This is where we raise reindeer." The Great Witch Festival of the reindeer tribe introduced enthusiastically:
"Every winter, we would lay down hay here, and sometimes add some salt, and the reindeer would come over and eat by themselves. Then we would close the door and we would have a herd of deer, which they could eat until summer."
They kept walking forward along the mountain wall. When they reached the end, the valley suddenly turned a small corner, and a small pasture appeared. Cerira said "Yeah" in surprise:
From the gap in the valley, a warm spring flows out and merges into the creek. The grassland watered by the spring water is actually a little green at this time. On the grassland, there is a man with exceptionally clean hair and an exceptionally fit figure.
stag.
"This is the incarnation of our deer god!" the great wizard said loudly:
"Every year, we select the most beautiful stag from the herd and raise it here alone! The shaman ritual's duty, in addition to taking care of the tribe and predicting future disasters, is to take care of the incarnation of the deer god!"
"We worship it! We worship it! Provide it with the clearest spring water, the freshest weeds, and the sweetest fruits! Give it a bath, comb it, accompany it for a walk, and keep it in a happy mood!"
Uh-huh... Gretel nodded slightly with a stiff smile on his face. Those of you who worship the deer god like this... have you ever thought that deer have a natural lifespan?
If you don't become a sacred deer, no matter how you raise it, it will eventually die one day?
Wait... you said "choose one every year", but what about the deer you raised before?!
"Now, it's time for us to send the incarnation of the deer god to his heaven!" The great witch priest of the reindeer tribe waved his hand, and several warriors immediately rushed over and carried the stag out.
Return to the tribe's base, knock them down, cut their necks, and bleed...
"Dear Deer God!
Your incarnation has been with us for a whole year, and we have been under your eyes for a whole year!"
Under Grete's shocked eyes, the Grand Witch Priest led two young Witch Priest apprentices, beat the deerskin drums, and sang in unison:
"We follow your teachings!
We tread your path!
We walk as lightly as you through the wilderness, harming neither the woods nor the valleys!
May you look at us and bless us, and may our bodies always have your warm power!"
During the song, the warriors were topless and dancing around waving their weapons. The women of the tribe, under the leadership of the older women, skinned the skin, cleaned the internal organs, cut up the venison, and set up a cauldron to cook...
When the singing and dancing ended, the Great Witch took the birch bowl filled with deer blood from the hands of the oldest woman and respectfully presented it to Grete:
"Dear witches who have come from afar! You have healed our people, and you are our brother. Please join us in receiving the blessings of the Deer God, and let his power be with you forever!"
Gretel's whole body was in bad shape.
