After many days, Xuehui and Slowly met again, and their moods were very different.
Slowly and slightly nodded: "Hello."
She looked as soft and lovely as ever, but Xue Hui keenly sensed a little alienation from her attitude.
Xuehui smiled helplessly: "After the farewell in Shenmu City, I thought we would never have a chance to meet again."
Slowly said: "Your spirit looks pretty good."
Xue Hui's smile became more and more bitter: "Shenmu City has been destroyed, we are homeless dogs now, it would be nice to find a place to live."
"I've heard about Shenmu City. Now Wanshou City is planning to select a beast city from the low-level beast cities and promote it to a medium-level beast city to replace Shenmu City."
Xue Hui laughed at herself: "Your Majesty is right, Wanshou City will only take advantage of the fire and rob it, and will never give charcoal in a timely manner."
Slowly and casually asked: "What are you going to do in the future?"
Xue Hui stared at her: "Xue Ling should have told you, right? We want to seek refuge with you."
"Take care of me? Shouldn't you be taking refuge in the Rock Wolf Clan?"
"No, I just rely on you," Xue Hui said word by word, "Our Shenmu clan only recognizes Shenmu. Since the Shenmu seeds have chosen you, we will follow you to the death!"
Slowly stunned: "How do you know that the Shenmu seed chose me?"
Xue Hui looked at Chang Gu.
Slowly also followed her line of sight to look at Chang Gu.
Being watched by two beautiful females at the same time, Chang Gu still had that indifferent look: "I have already told Xue Hui about the Shenmu seeds on Xu Xu's body."
Slowly opened his mouth, and was about to speak when Chang Gu continued.
"I know what you are worried about. The Shenmu clan once betrayed Shenmu, which can never be erased, but I think you should give them another chance. After all, Bi Huan is dead, and the Shenmu clan has done for them. For what you did, you paid the price.”
Slowly lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Changgu suddenly asked: "Do you know the origin of the Shenmu clan?"
Shake your head slowly.
Changgu said in a slow voice: "A long time ago, the Orc Continent was a very dangerous place, often facing various natural disasters. Landslides and ground cracks were common, and sometimes meteors would fall from the sky, burning large tracts of forests. Life is so hard…”
In the most serious one, the entire continent began to split and almost sank to the bottom of the sea.
In desperation, the orcs, led by the wizard, prayed to the Shenmu. They were willing to offer their eternal loyalty in exchange for powerful power.
Shenmu agreed to them.
The two parties concluded a contract, and the orcs worked together to save their homeland.
Shenmu used its root system to connect the Orc Continent together, and since then there have been no earthquakes and mountain cracks, and sacrificed its own vitality to help all things grow.
Afterwards, those orcs claimed to be the Shenmu clan and worshiped the Shenmu for generations, and the Shenmu became the patron saint of this continent and was revered by all.
Chang Gu continued: "That is the first generation of Shenmu. It condenses the heart of nature and passes this heart of nature down from generation to generation."
Slowly recalling the scene I saw in Bi Huan's memory—
The sacred tree was pulled down and burned, and the heart of nature was shattered.
Changgu's tone was always very flat: "For thousands of years, the Shenmu clan has gone through countless changes, and has evolved many times of betrayal. The heart of nature has been hurt again and again, and it has long been overwhelmed. Bi Huan's calculations and betrayals happened to be suppressed The last straw for the dead camel's back."
Slowly pursing his lips, he did not speak.
Xuehui's eyes showed guilt.
Xue Ling still looked casual.
But if you observe carefully, you can see that he is also a little absent-minded at this time. Chang Gu's narration reminded him of some very distant things, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his fiery red eyes.
Chang Gu glanced at it slowly: "You should be very curious, why is the heart of nature injured? As a demigod, it stands to reason that it is impossible for ordinary things to hurt it."
Slowly, I really don't understand.
Changgu said: "The reason why the first generation of Shenmu can condense the heart of nature is because many orcs sincerely believe in it. When the belief is strong enough, it will produce a magical power."
The system seemed to be touched by something, and sighed helplessly: "The power of faith makes the Shenmu condense the heart of nature. When the faith gradually becomes less pure, the heart of nature will also weaken and eventually die out. .”
Slowly, there was a slight movement in my heart.
She seemed to understand what Chang Gu meant.
Changgu looked at her: "The heart of nature comes from faith, so you need believers."
The more believers, the more power of faith you will gain, and the greater the chance of success in condensing the heart of nature.
Xue Hui seized the opportunity to show her loyalty: "We, the Shenmu clan, are willing to be your believers!"
Chang Gu's words moved Xu Huan's heart, but she still had some doubts. She asked: "You Shenmu clan once betrayed Shenmu, how can I trust you again?"
Xue Hui said: "I am willing to swear with my soul, to be loyal forever!"
"What about your people? Can they also swear by their souls?"
"Of course!" Xuehui replied without hesitation!
Clan members who cannot be loyal to Shenmu are not worthy of being called Shenmu clan!
Xue Ling approached slowly, and said in a rambling voice: "If you still feel uneasy, you can ask them to sign the contract scroll."
Slowly remembering the contract scroll, she immediately took out an intermediate contract scroll.
This kind of scroll can contract groups of more than 100 people and less than 300 people. The person who signs the contract must be the patriarch or witch doctor of the group. Once the name is signed, the entire group will be bound by the contract scroll.
Once they betray their oath, they will be backlashed by their souls.
Slowly said these precautions, let Xue Hui think carefully before signing.
Xuehui said: "I have thought very clearly, this is the last chance for the Shenmu clan, I will never give up!"
Seeing that she didn't change face when facing the contract scroll, Xu Huan must have sincerely willing to take refuge in her, so she asked again: "Can you represent your entire Shenmu clan?"
"His Majesty the Beast King and Master Bi Huan are dead, and now all the clansmen listen to me."
Slowly thought for a while: "I remember that Bi Huan has a son, right?"
"Yes, Agui left Shenmu City with us, do you want to see him?"
Because of the Shenmu, Xue Hui has now started to use honorifics towards Huan Huan, and her tone and demeanor also show respect.
Slowly nodded: "Yeah."
"please wait."
Xuehui immediately got up and went to find Agui.
Compared with the last meeting, Agui has grown a lot taller. The once young and awkward boy, after experiencing the destruction of the city and his family, grew up overnight and became mature and stable.
