Chapter 240: The Secret Of The Fountain Of Eternity
Chapter 240: The Secret Of The Fountain Of Eternity
Because of being valued by the Great Elder.
The three were sent to a set of wooden houses.
The room is filled with the fragrance of wood, whether it is animal skin blankets or mattresses are new.
The three of them who were exhausted all day did not talk about anything.
They went back to their rooms and lay down.
Nothing to say all night.
It was already bright outside when Braun woke up again.
"Dear guest. The Great Elder ordered me to bring you breakfast."
There was a respectful voice from outside the door.
"Come in!"
Braun tidied up his clothes and changed into a set of wizard robes.
compared to ordinary clothes.
He still felt more comfortable in wizard robes.
Especially in this humid rainforest.
At least the wizard robes with constant temperature and moisture resistance will not stick to the body as tightly as ordinary clothes.
In came three women.
Holding a basket of barbecue in a rattan basket in his hand.
Another held a clay pot filled with milky milk. 28
After simply eating some.
Braun followed these women to the cabin of the Great Elder.
The other party was drinking tea while reading the newspaper.
If it wasn't for the depths of the jungle at this moment, he would have thought he was in some city.
It is really that the behavior of the other party is too far from the primitive tribe he imagined.
"The tribe is just our traditional way of life.
Although we live in the depths of the rainforest, it does not mean that we do not know the information of the outside world.
You have to actively embrace new things, right?"
The Great Elder put down the newspaper and said with a smile.
"Let's go, there is still some distance here.
Come back early and have lunch. "
The forbidden land is not in the tribe?
Following the other party and leaving the tribe, they sat on a snake cart and headed for the depths of the rainforest.
And as it gets deeper, the surrounding trees become less and less.
Finally, it stopped in an open space.
"Great Elder!"
A dozen tribal warriors hiding in the canopy jumped down and shouted respectfully.
"Continue to be vigilant."
The Great Elder casually waved his hand and called Braun to go to the 'well' in the middle.
"This is the Fountain of Eternity."
The Great Elder sighed and looked a little sad.
"Isn't the water here still there?"
Looking at the spring water gushing out of the well, Braun asked hesitantly.
The well doesn't look like it's dry.
Who knew that the Great Elder shook his head:
"The dryness I'm talking about is the dryness of power.
There is no longer the power in the water that can make the blood orchid grow.
If things go on like this, perhaps the Fountain of Eternity will really become ordinary. "
Braun nodded suddenly.
Glancing at the small reddish flowers growing on the stones at the edge of the well, I knew in my heart that these things should be the so-called blood orchids.
It just doesn't look nutritious.
Even after continuous irrigation through these overflowing wells, many of them have gradually withered.
It seems that it should have something to do with the power of the well water that the other party said.
Braun took a few steps closer.
He brought his nose closer and sniffed.
There was a faint fishy smell in the water, which even made people feel a kind of physical disgust.
It was different from any spring in his memory.
But it always gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
It seems to have seen it somewhere before.
And as he thought.
His expression also became more and more strange.
"This seems to be the blood of void creatures?"
Smelling the familiar smell, Braun finally remembered.
The well smelled like the void creatures he had slain.
It's just that the water in this well known as the Fountain of Eternity has been diluted a lot.
The bad smell has become very weak.
"How about Braun?"
Seeing Braun standing there motionless, the Great Elder couldn't help asking.
"I may know why."
Braun said with a strange face.
Without waiting for the elder to ask, he took the initiative to speak out.
"Have you explored the upper reaches of the river?"
"The upper reaches of the river? You mean there is a problem upstream? But the well water has not decreased..."
"I mean there is a problem with the source of power for the Fountain of Eternity."
If Braun's guess is correct, this so-called Fountain of Eternity has something to do with the blood of those void creatures.
Perhaps it was a wizard who tried to use the river to purify these sealed void creatures.
It was only by accident that the spring water carrying the blood of the void creature gave birth to a strange plant—the blood orchid.
Later, it was discovered by the tribe and became a sacred object.
But now there are only two possibilities for the power of the spring water to decay.
One is that the void creature is dead.
Another possibility is that the sealed void creature has escaped the seal.
The former is easy to say, but if it is the latter, it will be troublesome.
The Great Elder's expression seemed a little cloudy and uncertain.
After a long time, he finally sighed.
"It seems that you have seen those void creatures before."
"Tell me how you guessed it?"
The Great Elder stared at him with blazing eyes.
But Braun looked at 567 without fear.
“I never doubted that in the first place.
It's just that seeing the spring water here now and thinking about the enthusiasm of the great elder after I revealed my identity, I can't help guessing.
You asked me to come here to solve the problem of the alchemy matrix.
Has the seal of the sealed void creature been broken?"
Seeing that Braun guessed things pretty well.
The Great Elder obviously had no intention of continuing to hide.
"Yes, almost a year ago, the magic circle was destroyed by a bewitched guy in the tribe.
Originally, we sent a large number of people to solve this problem, but after a few months of holding on to the magic circle, everything was normal, so we let go of our minds.
But who knew that the Fountain of Eternity began to have problems.
Blood orchids cannot grow.
The void creature has also awakened.
The magic circle can no longer suppress it. "
"Didn't you ask the Ministry for help?"
Braun couldn't help asking.
He didn't believe that the Ministry of Magic would not ask about such a major matter.
"Do you think anyone in the Ministry of Magic knows alchemy?"
The elder said angrily.
The Black Continent is not good at alchemy, they are better at potions and transfiguration just like Samba.
Winner of many national Animagus competitions.
Alchemy is not their specialty. .
