The Fire Dancer caravan spent the night repairing at the Kata tribe's camp. Early the next morning, it conducted some transactions with the Kata tribe, sold some daily necessities, and exchanged some beast skins and monster bones from the Kata tribe.

wait.

Although the lifestyle of the Kata tribe is still mainly tribal, like all tribes that have integrated into civilized society, their clothing, daily necessities, weapons and equipment, etc. are no longer very different from the outside civilized society.

There is a big difference, the only thing that remains unchanged is their shamanic totem belief.

When Leo was in the Kingdom of Yinge, he had come into contact with the knowledge of shamanic beliefs, but that knowledge was filtered by scholars from the Kingdom of Yinge, and some of it was changed beyond recognition according to their own wishes.

For example, although the original shamanic rituals were bloody, they contained special meanings. However, those superior scholars in the Kingdom of England simply believed that they were bloody and barbaric, and simply deleted all the meanings behind them, leaving only the bloody parts.

, thus making the vast majority of ordinary people in the Kingdom of England believe that shamanism is a bloody, primitive and barbaric mysterious belief.

In addition to shamanic rituals, there are also tribal totems that have been completely changed beyond recognition by those scholars. Even the Orthodox Church was influenced by those scholars for a period of time. It is also true that the tribal totems of shamanic beliefs are regarded as evil gods.

It was because of this concept that the conflict between the colonists and the wilderness tribes at that time was almost irreconcilable.

Leo naturally also studied that period of history, especially in a notebook of the Tower Wizard, which recorded in detail a battle between colonists against the wilderness tribe that the Tower Wizard saw. Although the weapons possessed by the colonists

Far stronger than the wasteland tribe, but when the wasteland tribe was at a disadvantage, the powerful power summoned by the tribal shaman from the tribal totem easily destroyed the colonists' army, leaving a deep impression on the tower wizards who were watching.

impression, and recorded the relevant content in detail, and also elaborated on his own views on the advantages and disadvantages of the power of tribal totems.

When the Fire Dancer Caravan was trading with the Kata tribe, Leo, who had always been curious about tribal totems, naturally would not miss this opportunity to study the tribal totems up close and came to the guardian totem in the center of the camp.

, the spiritual network tentatively contacted and penetrated into the totem pole.

The entire totem pole is carved from the main pole of a big tree. It is about the height of two adults and can be hugged by one person. The patterns on the surface of the totem are mainly divided into three layers. The bottom is the hero of the tribe.

In the middle are the legends of past tribes, and on the top is a monster made up of different beasts.

In Leo's view, the totem pole of shamanism is not so much a body of belief as a strange object created because of tribal beliefs. Its core structure is very similar to those artifacts in the church that are blessed with divine power and magic.

, but the difference is that those artifacts originate from the gods and bear obvious signs of the gods, while these totem poles originate from the faith itself, and in a sense they are ownerless wonders.

It is precisely for this reason that even if Leo's spiritual network penetrated into the totem pole and unscrupulously studied its power structure and core, it never caused any counterattack unless the tribe's shaman activated the totem pole to let the power contained in it

Only by exerting yourself can you fight back any intruders.

Although this totem pole is an ownerless thing, people who are not from the Kata tribe cannot take it away. Even if it is taken away, it is impossible to use the power in it, because this totem pole has the faith mark of the tribe in which it belongs.

The mark is called the spirit of the tribe in shamanic belief, but in Leo's opinion, it is more like a power similar to a psychic mark.

Psychic Mark is the most common psionic skill. Basically, low-level psykers can already use it. Just like the way Leo uses it, most Psychic Marks are just the front marks used by psykers to mark their targets.

Setting skills usually need to be used in conjunction with other psychic skills. For example, Leo is mostly used in conjunction with Spirit Net, so Psychic Mark is also classified as an auxiliary skill.

However, the tribal spirits in the totem pole now gave Leo some inspiration, making him feel that he might be able to improve some psychic marks to make them stronger.

"Have you found anything through research?" While Leo was studying the tribal spirits in the totem pole, the shaman of the Kata tribe who was responsible for stationing at the camp came to Leo and asked.

This shaman is a middle-aged man, just like most shamans. He wears clothes made of bark, with some bones hanging on his body, some patterns with special meanings tattooed on his face, and his hair is carefully braided.

He made braids of hair, and hung various ornaments on the braids. Some of the ornaments were exquisite headdresses, while some of the ornaments were feathers, leaves, bones and the like. He was still holding it in his hand.

A cane, it is not correct to say it is a cane, because it is more like a shrunken totem pole.

Although the middle-aged man was dressed like a standard tribal shaman, Leo could tell from the other person's words and deeds that he should be one of the new shamans, not an old shaman who followed ancient shamanic beliefs.

"Do you mind?" Leo asked instead of answering the other party's question after sizing him up.

"Since it is placed in a public place where everyone can see it, naturally I won't mind if someone studies it out of curiosity." The shaman said with a smile: "And I once studied abroad in the Kingdom of England.

I know that you scholars are all like newborn cubs, you will be curious about everything you see, and you will study it when you are curious." After that, he stretched out his hand towards Leo and said, "I forgot to introduce myself.

, I am the Moon Night Changsong of the Kata tribe, you can also call me Henry, this is the name given to me by my college tutor when I went to study in the Kingdom of England."

"Leo Dodd." Leo shook the other person's hand and introduced himself.

"Leo Dodd?" After hearing Leo's name, Yueye Changge couldn't help but froze, then looked at Leo's appearance seriously, and said with some surprise: "No wonder I felt very nervous when I looked at you just now.

Looks familiar, it’s you!”

Leo asked: "Do you know me?"

Yue Ye Changge, who recognized Leo's identity, showed great respect for Leo, and lowered his tone, saying: "Yes, I have heard Mr. Tolan mention you before, and I also know some things about you. I just

But you look too young now, so just now I thought you were just a blood relative of Mr. Tolan."

"Do you know Tolan?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at the mechanical crossbows on the camp guards. There were Dodd Group marks on the obvious parts of the crossbow handles. Obviously,

The weapons equipped by the warriors of the Kata tribe are almost all weapons manufactured by Dode Industry, which also means that the relationship between the Kata tribe and Dode Industry is unusual.

As Leo had guessed, Yue Ye Changge nodded and said proudly: "Your Excellency Tolan lived in our tribe for a period of time a few years ago. It was also during that time that he came into contact with shamanism. From then on,

Since then, our tribe has always had close ties with the Dode Group."

Leo could vaguely sense that the close contacts Yueye Changge mentioned were probably not just business contacts, but perhaps deeper cooperation. He could even tell from the respectful tone in Yueye Changge's mention of Tolan that Tolan

His status in the Kata tribe is probably extraordinary.

However, Yue Ye Changge didn't mention it, so Leo naturally didn't ask any more questions. He then asked a few questions about Tolan. Although Yue Ye Changge answered quickly, his words were deliberately unclear and unclear.

a.

From Yue Ye Changge's words, Leo could tell that the other party still had doubts about his identity and did not completely believe him, so when it came to matters involving Tolan and the Dodd Group, he kept his words hidden and vague.

Words.

Knowing that he could not get any useful information about Tolan from Yue Ye Changge, Leo did not continue to ask, but instead discussed shamanic beliefs with Yue Ye Changge, a shaman from the Kata tribe.

Perhaps because the topic did not involve Tolan and the Dodd Group, or perhaps because the topic became what the other party was best at, the discussion between Leo and Yue Ye Changge was no longer as vague as before, but was very clear.

Going deeper, it seems that Moon Night Changge wants to turn Leo into a shaman believer through this conversation.

Although the content of the conversation between the two did not involve any shamanic ability to use extraordinary power, for Leo, understanding the core original teachings of shamanic belief made it easier for him to understand a shamanic ability than to understand a shamanic ability.

To understand the nature of shamanic power.

The discussion and exchange between the two continued until the deal between the Fire Dancer Caravan and the Kata Tribe was over, and the Fire Dancer Caravan packed up and prepared to hit the road. Although most of the time, Leo was just a questioner, and Moon Night Chang Song

He is just an answerer, but both parties are very satisfied with this exchange on shamanic beliefs.

Leo was able to discover a large number of misunderstandings about shamanic beliefs in the past, and obtain the core content of shamanic beliefs, and Moon Night Changge was also able to reorganize his understanding of shamanic beliefs from Leo's tricky key questions.

He even felt that his shamanic power might break through to a higher level soon.

Moon Night Changge, who felt that he had gained a lot, before Leo left with the caravan, he copied a book of fundamental doctrines that he had copied from the shamanism in the holy land in the wasteland. Although he himself was not a believer in fundamental doctrines, this did not mean that

He didn't pay much attention to the content. He felt that if Leo really wanted to know more about shamanism, then it would be most appropriate to start with the fundamental teachings.

Leo did not refuse the good intention of the Moon Night Song because he was also curious about the content. Almost all scholars who specialized in the study of shamanic beliefs in the Kingdom of England mentioned the fundamental teachings of the shamanic holy land, but they were not familiar with the content in it.

There is very little mention of the content, and it can be seen from between the lines that the scholars do not think that these ancient knowledge have research value.

If it were in the past, Leo might have the same view as those scholars, and would equate the fundamental teachings of shamanism with the primitive beliefs of the black forest tribes of Velen Continent. But during the conversation with Yue Ye Changge, he

After re-recognizing shamanic beliefs, he felt that he had misconceptions due to preconceptions, and starting from the fundamental teachings might be able to help him reorganize the correct information about shamanic beliefs.

Watching the Fire Dancer caravan disappear into the dense woods at the end of the mountain road, the noisy Kata tribe camp just returned to its original calm. Yue Ye Changge arranged the people on duty and assigned today's tasks.

Bu returned to his own house, then took out a small backpack from the house, left the Fire Dancer camp, and walked alone towards an unnamed peak next to the camp.

On the way, Yue Ye Changge also noticed that something was wrong in this area. When he walked this road in the past, he would definitely encounter attacks from monsters or crazy beasts, and there were many attacks, but this time he did not encounter any

He was not attacked by any attack, and even after establishing contact with the surrounding trees through shaman magic, he found that not to mention monsters and beasts in this area, even insects and birds had disappeared.

This anomaly reminded him of the strange appearance of the Fire Dancer caravan outside the camp last night. He felt that this matter might not be simple, but the most important thing for him at this moment was not to investigate the forest.

Why an exception occurs in the region is another matter.

Yue Ye Changge was very familiar with the surrounding environment and easily walked through the dense forest to the top of the mountain.

After arriving at the place, he placed the backpack behind him on the ground, took out a pure metal box without any gaps, then placed his hand on the box and said a word.

If Leo heard the word Yue Ye Changge said here, he would definitely be a little surprised, because this is a word in the universal language, and its meaning is very simple, that is, activation.

As the Moon Night Changge issued instructions, the metal box without any gaps quickly split into geometric objects with different shapes, and under the guidance of an invisible force, it reassembled into a spire-like device, tightly

Then a ball of light appeared at the top of the device. After a while, the light disappeared and was replaced by an image of a human head. The appearance of this person was somewhat similar to Leo, but more handsome and overall looked more like Sylvia.

.

"What happened to the Kata tribe?" The man asked directly to Yue Ye Changge.

"It's nothing." Yue Ye Changge quickly explained.

The man frowned and asked: "Since nothing major happened, why do you need to use this emergency contact device? You should know that the number of times this contact device can be used is limited."
