Chapter 61 Soul Stone
Previous review: The prisoner Qiu accidentally met Ning Chen in the mountain. The reunion was originally a happy thing, but then happened a thing that made the prisoner Qiu unforgettable for life. At the same time, Ning Chen, who was determined to wash away his grievances, and Emily also reached the soul stone.
=============================Separator=============================
Soul Stone Land: It is the place to bury the best of the orcs. Since Sal is a leader, he will be buried here after his death. Almost all civilians can prove this - Doron blows and beat his cousin in the soul stone.
"We're going to walk in from here." Emily said in a low voice.
"Good!" Ning Chen answered, anyway, it's not far, it's just a few steps.
Several coconut trees grew by a clear pond and stayed in the dusty swamp for a long time. Seeing the clear water under the moonlight, Ning Chen couldn't help feeling refreshed.
They quietly crossed this small woodland and came outside the five-pointed star. Looking at this place, Ning Chen felt clueless, but experience told himself that the more seemingly simple it was, the more complex it was inside. Gradually, he no longer felt relaxed, and even the palm of his hand began to sweat slightly.
The so-called soldiers are not expensive, but noble.
Since the tribe settled in Ogma, a family has been sent here to protect the soul stone land. By the latest generation, there has been only one person left to guard the soul stone land - Imshi, an old shaman.
He has long been aware of Ning Chen and Emily, who were quietly approaching, but he was just greedy for his own sleepiness, and Imshi felt that it was not the time for him to take action.
There was no one around and there were no buildings. Ning Chen and Emily stood here, thinking about how to open the tomb.
The round stone is smooth and flat, and there is no button mechanism or anything like that. The bottom of the stone is connected to the ground by a cylindrical stone pier. Ning Chen lay on the ground and looked at it carefully. It is also smooth and flat without flaws.
"It's strange." He stood up and touched his chin and meditated.
"Sometimes, shamanism can't be seen through with the eyes." Emily said.
"Sumatism?" Ning Chen saw shamanism in Titan Myth.
"Yes, Sal himself is a very powerful shaman, including the Lich King, who is also a shaman. Orcs and tareheads are both shamanistic." Emily stared and observed, "I think this table must have been given some spell, which can't be seen by outsiders with the naked eye."
The muttering in the distance finally made Imsh a little unbearable. He picked up four sticks and pinned them around his waist. This was the shaman's eating, and then jumped down from the top of the tree. Of course, it was not the trees behind Ning Chen. He was still far away from there. Imsh gently recited a spell and suddenly turned into a sky. The wolf, as fast as lightning, ran to Ning Chen and Emily.
Ning Chen had already hunch something. He and Emily were on alert almost at the same time, and saw a trace of dust in front of them, rushing towards him like thunder and wind.
Imsh braked his foot more than ten meters away from them and turned back to the appearance of an orc.
"Oh, who am I? It's you, oh, and your partner, the night elf?" Imshi twisted his beard and smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were full of disdain.
Ning Chen's bow was pulled by him like a full moon and aimed straight at Imshi: "We are not here to make trouble. Please don't embarrass me."
"Oh?" Imshi smiled and said, "Don't make trouble, so why do you come to the Holy Land of the Orcs?"
"You must know mine." Ning Chen said.
"You know, the murderer." Imsh still smiled at the corners of his mouth, and even his fangs seemed to be less abominable.
"Attention, shamans will influence people's spirits!" Emily reminded Ning Chen.
Ning Chen nodded and sweated a few drops on his forehead.
"Tut! What are you nervous about? I won't eat you!" Imshi saw the sweat on Ning Chen's forehead and said, "But I kindly remind you that if you don't leave the magic circle as soon as possible, I will do it."
Shadow burial and Aesop came from outside at this time. Ning Chen, who had left them to guard their luggage, saw Imshi, and the shadow burial began to demonstrate to their opponents with grin.
"Yo, there are also helpers, two hunters. It doesn't matter. Now I think I haven't seen you. If you insist on going alone, what's waiting for you is death. I'll count three times." Imshi's smile faded, and his fangs shone pale under the moonlight.
"Shadow burial!" Ning Chen stopped the funeral that was waiting to attack. He didn't want her to be cannon fodder. The energy of the short and dry old orc in front of him was absolutely not proportional to his appearance. Ning Chen had already felt his strong murderous spirit.
Emily was more nervous than Ning Chen, because she couldn't understand what the other party was saying from beginning to end, and only saw an old face with a smile.
Imsh held two sticks in one hand and threw the sticks in turn like juggling: "See, this is my weapon. They can make you die without burial."
"Uncle!" Ning Chen suddenly shouted, "I didn't mean anything here. I just want to wash away my grievances and plot to rebel against this crime. I can't afford it."
"Rebellion?" Imshi smiled while playing juggle, "Who would say that you are rebel?" Suddenly, he threw a stick at Ning Chen's feet without warning, and suddenly thorns from the depths of the ground, entangled Ning Chen and others. The thorns on the thorns nailed into their skin and skin, which was not so good.
"I remind you not to struggle. This thing is rebellious. The more you struggle, the tighter it will be, and the deeper the thorn will be. Even if you break free, it will take half a day to pick up the thorn. It's not cost-effective." Imsh said.
He is not threatening. Ning Chen has noticed that the saddest of the four is Aesop. Its skin is smooth, so its defense is the worst. Now its whole body has twisted like a twist.
With a bang, Ning Chen shot an arrow at Imshi. The other party had no time to avoid it. The arrow penetrated deeply into his shoulder. Imshi pulled out the arrow with a smile, and his palm glowed white. He stroked the wound and gradually healed.
"Young man, are you going to give me a majesty?" He shook his head, "I want to respect the old man... But in my opinion, your skills are far worse than Sal."
Ning Chen looked at him in surprise, and it turned out that the power of the shaman was so powerful.
"Do you know? I don't think you are the murderer of Sal. Imsh stared at Ning Chen and Emily for a long time and suddenly said.
Ning Chen felt very relaxed, and finally an orc believed in himself.
"Don't be fooled!" Emily didn't understand what they were talking about, but she obviously felt Ning Chen's mood.
Ning Chen signaled her to be relieved while dealing with Imshi: "In this case, let's take a look at his body."
Whose? The body?" Imsh laughed, "Why do you think there are bodies here? Because this is the soul stone? Yes, this is the place where our ancestors rest, but there is no body of Sal here.
Ning Chen confused him and quietly asked Emily, "Is this a cemetery?" Because there was a strong intuition that what Imsh said was not false.
"You are a tribe, why are you with an alliance?" Imshi finally asked this question.
"She is my friend and my teacher. Wasn't Sal also raised by human beings?" Ning Chen turned his lips.
"Well, your mouth is very powerful, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that if you don't leave, you will die. It's my duty to protect the souls of your ancestors." Imsh suddenly became strict, waved his hand, and the stick on the ground was pulled back like a kite in his hand. "You go!" He said.
Out of courtesy, Ning Chen pulled Emily away from the phalanx.
"Please let me take a look at Sal's body. It's a big deal! Maybe someone is really plotting against it!" Ning Chen's voice is sincere and irresistible.
"Ha ha..." Imsh smiled and suddenly turned into a wolf, "Then follow me!"
His speed was so fast that Ning Chen and Emily tried their best to barely follow his footsteps. After an inconspicuous rock, Imshi stopped and lifted a stone slab. There was a hole behind the slab. They walked down the stairs and entered the cave. The hole was narrow, and it was extremely difficult for Ning Chen to walk, but it was not long before he suddenly became clear. The stairs were to the end. In front of him was a square cave with a fire basin on the wall. There was a rectangular platform on the ground, and an orc was lying quietly on it.
"Is this Sal?" Ning Chen asked.
Imsh shook his head.
"Uncle!" Ning Chen was anxious.
"What's urgent?" Imsh stared at him, "This is not Sal's body, it's just the body of an ordinary guard, but you have been charged with treason."
Ning Chen and Emily looked at each other and were full of doubts.
"What do you mean?" Ning Chen already knew it, but he didn't dare to believe that if it was true, it would be either a big joke or a court fight.
"Yes, Doron used this person to pretend to be Sal, but he can't deceive the whole world, but he can't deceive me, old Imshi. Sal and I play barefoot. All you know is that he is raised by human beings, but you don't know that he has always been secretly accompanying him. I know a few hemorrhoids and hairs on his body. , Doron, I warned Sal from the beginning that he had no good intentions! Fortunately, I met my old Imshi. Instead of handling the body according to our customs, I quietly transferred it and saved it and will be used one day. Imshi said, and the little goat's beard trembled, "As for you, I don't quite understand whether Doron intended to blame or not."
Ning Chen heard this, which was a confirmation of his conjecture and was greatly relieved, but when he thought about it again, he was worried again. In this way, where can he get rid of the crime? Is Sal really alive or dead? Will he still hide in the wall?
"Young man, since you can find here, Imshi, have a heartless request to find Sal for our tribe. I think he must be trapped by Doron, and I can't leave the soul stone." Imsh's eyes showed an eager desire for an answer.
Ning Chen looked at Emily and the old Imshi. He thought that this was probably the only way to find Sal to put down the vicious Doron, otherwise the tribe would have to defeat him.
Leaving the soul stone, Ning Chen was a little relaxed and disappointed. Originally, he thought that he could uncover the mystery of Sal's death when he came here, and then he could announce his innocence to the world, but he didn't expect that the person who died was not Sal at all. According to old Imshi, that person was indeed killed by an arrow, and And the arrow is accurate, but the arrow mark is a special arrow for the Ogma Honor Valley Hunter Bow Club, but even so, Ning Chen can't get rid of his name, because this matter now seems to be getting clearer and clearer. He accepted Old Imsh's request to find out Sal, whether he is dead or alive, which can make himself unjust. Snow, why not do the best thing in Ogma?
"Emily, go back to the tree house." When they left the soul stone, their footsteps were not so rushed. Ning Chen thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to drive her away. No matter how he thought about it, this job was not simple.
