Looking at the cave hidden behind the huge rock in front of him, Eber hesitated for a moment before crossing Geralt and walking into the cave.

There was no lighting in the cave, and it was very dark. Geralt, who was following Eber, took out two flints to light a torch, but Eber directly released a light technique, illuminating the entire cave.

Looking at the cave illuminated by Eber's spell, Geralt could only put away the flint in his hand awkwardly and muttered: "Magic is so convenient." Then he walked to Eber.

The space in the cave is not large. Because it has been closed for a long time, it is covered with dust everywhere. However, it looks very ventilated. The cave is not stuffy and there is no odor. There are not many things in the cave, only some simple living tools and a few metallic corpses looming on the ground. In addition, there is only the totem that Abel is looking at in front of you.

This totem is made of steel and wood as material. It looks like a whole piece of material is carved directly. The whole piece of steel and wood is carved into the image of a huge deer raising its head and singing. A pair of huge antlers occupy almost one-third of the volume of the entire totem, looking sharp and sturdy. The entire totem stands in the cave, with a metallic luster on the surface.

Looking at this tall totem, Eber could clearly feel a sacred and distant aura lingering on the totem, making the entire totem look ancient and holy. If this totem appears on earth, those artists would probably praise its greatness wildly, because it looks like a perfect work of art.

It is just a pity that a huge wound penetrated the chest of Julu. From the wound, Eber could even feel madness and destruction. It seemed that it was this wound that killed the Julu. It was precisely because of the existence of this wound that Eber could feel the dead silence emanating from the totem, making him realize that the god represented by the totem in front of him was really dead.

"This is the guardian of our Steel Leaf Tribe, the White Deer God, Malen, and the most powerful of the gods believed in by the human tribe. He was stabbed in the chest by Kane in the war with the elves and the murder god Kane." While Geralt introduced to Abel, his eyes looking at the totem were also full of reverence and guilt.

Eber did not have Geralt's emotions. He was born on earth and had been baptized by various online novels. He did not have that kind of worship and awe of gods in his faith. He just regarded them as higher-level existences. Looking at the totem in front of him, he couldn't help but look at the wound on Maloen's chest curiously and asked Geralt curiously: "How did this scar appear? Do you only have this totem?"

"According to records, after the great King of Forest was stabbed by Kane, the wound appeared on the totem, which was exactly the same as the wound on the King of Forest's chest." Geralt answered Ebert's question, and his eyes also remained on the wound: "At that time, in order to stop Kane's attack on the coalition forces of the four clans, Marron used his body to block Kane's attack, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on Kane with the giant horn on his head, stabbed Kane's chest, forcing him to leave the battlefield, thus winning the coalition forces a chance to attack."

When talking about the achievements of his god, even Geralt's face was full of pride and pride. However, Eber was not interested in the past achievements of the White Deer God, but just asked Geralt: "Maren's greatness is just the past. What we need to pay attention to now is how to resurrect him, so is this totem that Marren can only be used for sacrifice?"

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the interruption of his own story by Eber, Geralt still thought carefully before answering his question: "It is true that only this totem of Maren accepts sacrifices. Although the people of the Steel Leaf Tribe would also make some decorations carved with the image of Maren, the only one who really accepted the sacrifices was this totem. So after this wound appeared on the totem, we hid it here in order to avoid accidents."

Speaking of this, Geralt looked at the corpses on the ground with great sadness and continued in a sad voice: "The priests always followed Malen, serving the White Deer God with all their heart and strength, but Malen, who was sleeping, became weaker and weaker. In the end, he could not even respond to the priests, and went to death in silence."

"So the priests who were in despair chose to commit suicide?" Eber seemed not affected by Geralt's emotions. He squatted down next to the priests' bodies, tapped the corpse on the ground with his fingers, but made a muffled sound of hitting metal, which made him raise his eyebrows and asked Geralt curiously: "What's going on with their bodies? Like steel, is this the symbol of Marron's priest?"

"No, this is Marun's gift. In the past, when Marun was still favoring the Steel Leaf Tribe, the most powerful warriors in the Steel Leaf Tribe could receive Marun's blessing, transform their body into a body of steel, and surpass the limits of mortals. They were once an important force for humans to fight against elves! But with Marun's death, the Steel Leaf Tribe would no longer have warriors with the steel body." When Geralt mentioned the Steel Leaf Tribe, his eyes showed envy. If Marun was still there, he could use Marun's power to break through the current limit.

After listening to Geralt's explanation, Eber checked the corpses of these steel-turned priests with great interest, then stood up and looked at Malen's totem, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Geralt looked at Abel and asked him with trepidation, "Mr. Abel, does Malen... still save him?"

Abel is already the last hope of the Steel Leaf Tribe. If even he said that Marun was helpless, the Steel Leaf Tribe would really completely lose their gods, and the human tribe would completely lose hope of fighting against the Empire.

"I need to check the totem, but I can't confirm it yet." Eber reached out to Maren's totem. Seeing his movements, Geralt instinctively prepared to stop him, but stopped embarrassedly. He knew that everything Aber did now might help Maren resurrection. Even if his actions seemed to believers to blaspheme the gods, wanting to resurrect his god, but he didn't want Eber to blaspheme Maren's totem, Geralt had to fall into trouble.

Eber didn't care about Geralt's entanglement. He stretched out his palm and put it on Marron's totem, wanting to feel the power of this totem up close. If this is Marron's only totem, then this is also the key to resurrecting him.

Even though hundreds of years have passed, this totem still gives Eber a feeling of power. Although the power attached to it has long dissipated with the passage of time, the only thing left before Eber's eyes is an empty shell and some residue that has not been erased by time.

But with Abel's movement, he soon realized that he had thought wrong. The totem in front of him was not just an empty shell. There seemed to be something inside it, something full of temptation calling him, making him unconsciously reach his hand to the wound on Maren's chest. He felt that there was something that had a fatal attraction to him! But it was already very weak. If Abel had not put his hand on this totem, he would not have felt the temptation it emitted!

But just as Ebert was about to put his hand into the wound on Maren's totem and touched the thing that was seducing him, his hand stopped. Geralt held his wrist with a firm and powerful hand. Ebert looked at Geralt with red eyes. The madness and anger in his eyes made Geralt feel scared, but he still firmly grasped Ebert's wrist: "Mr. Abert, you are in a wrong state!"

Geralt said and pulled Eber's hand off Maren's totem. When Ebert's hand left Maren's totem, he suddenly took a few steps back and gasped loudly, as if he had just experienced a violent movement. If Geralt hadn't grasped his hand, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

After gasping for a while, Eber then held his knee and signaled Geralt to let him go: "I'm fine, Captain Geralt, thank you for saving me."

"It's nothing, but Mr. Abel, what's going on? Why did you suddenly become..." Geralt didn't know how to describe it. Abel's condition was too strange just now, which made Geralt feel deeply suspicious. Is it right or wrong to ask him to help Maren resurrection?

"There is something in the totem!" Aiber looked up at Marron's totem again, but his eyes were filled with fear. Obviously, his loss of control just now scared him, but he still explained to Geralt: "I don't know what that is, but the temptation it emits is calling me, making me unable to resist its temptation. If you hadn't pulled me for a while, I'm afraid I'd have lost myself now."

"What the hell is that? How could there be such a thing in Marron's totem!" Geralt looked at Eberl in surprise. He could see that Eberl was not lying, but how could such something exist in Marron's totem! This made Geralt urgently ask Eberl, wanting to know what was going on.
