The so-called not far in the devil''s mouth is a very vague distance. You can''t let a person living on a narrow island for a long time have the same concept of distance as a person living on a vast grassland. The distance in their mind comes entirely from their own life experience. Therefore, the distance in one population may have been quite a long distance in the eyes of another person.


    For Wei Dao, the infinity of the abyss has laid the tone for his concept of distance. Maybe the magnificent and huge running city is just a small area in his opinion.


    Therefore, when cheese began to regret not finding a transportation tool or simply moving with deformation, he still couldn''t reach his destination.


    "Wait a minute." the grey robe stopped and stood on the mountain road. He did so for a reason. In addition to the loss of physical strength and energy, there were enough things standing on the road ahead to stop him.


    It is a column, about three stories high, composed of many flat pieces stacked. Each piece is decorated with a unified artistic style, and they are painted and carved into the appearance of animals or human faces.


    Totem pole, and the shape is very classic. It is said that the emergence of this stacked totem comes from the conflict between early tribes. The winner will seize the totem of the defeated and place it on his totem pole, so as to steal the protection of ancestors and gods from hostile tribes.


    Therefore, the higher the totem pole, the stronger the tribe will be, and the higher the status in an area. No matter whether the totem brings blessings or not, the children in these tribes are easier to grow up healthily.


    Of course, this is for ordinary Erudites or those who preach history. For mages, the totem pole is indeed effective. The origin of this effect is still a mystery, just as you can''t deeply explain how Druids get the power to revive creatures from an acorn, or how magic flows in the world.


    Some grey robes in the grey tower believe that the power of totem comes from two sources: the things represented by totem and the people who believe in totem. The two complement each other and are indispensable. It is this trinity of gods, totems and tribes that makes it different from the effectiveness of general god house worship.


    This difference is very subtle. In short, people who believe in the God residence know that the gods they worship are only gods, and the gods behind the gods are the basis of faith. And these gods are noble, not necessarily omnipotent, but must be great. Therefore, people must be humble and small in front of them, as young as children. This makes God and man have a long distance in this belief system.


    Totem belief is not the case. Totem and God are one. Totem is the dwelling place of gods, and gods will appear in the form of totem, and people who are their worshippers are not small.


    In totem tribes, people often think that they are related to the source of totem, and thus believe that they and members of other tribes are not the same race, but just have the same appearance. In this relationship based on blood, the gods are fully integrated with the tribe. The gods do not need to be worshipped, or all the actions of all people in the name of this totem are worship of him.


    God is man, man is God, primitive and advanced, hypocritical and true.


    But there is obviously no tribe that believes in totem, so this totem pole can only play its first power and imitate the source represented by totem, which is already powerful.


    The most important thing is that the operation of the totem is completed internally. Unlike the magic array, which needs maintenance and energy supply, as long as the totem is erected, it can perform its duties 24 hours a day until it is forcibly destroyed by external forces.


    Such a huge totem pole will be erected at the intersection. It is self-evident whose sphere of influence lies ahead. Totem school, transformation school and secret instrument school belong to one of the three factions of the inverted triangle of the city of ten thousand dharmas, and it is also the school of one of the two ten thousand Dharma mages that cheese once cooperated with.


    To be fair, the individual ability of this school may not be remarkable, but their creation is the foundation of the whole city.


    "Man made demons come from totem school? Well, well, it makes sense."


    Cheese thought his destination would be a marginal Research Institute affiliated to the life school, or at least the territory of the psychic school. Unexpectedly, Wei Dao''s navigation brought him to the totem school.


    Totem, is it related to artificial life? However, on second thought, the grey robe has indeed heard about how a living wooden puppet experienced hardships and finally became a real human. Strictly speaking, enabling the puppet or stone puppet to move is the research scope of the totem school.


    So is that demon transformed in the same way? It seems not impossible to think of the transparent shell.


    "After so many years, the aesthetic of totem school is still so bad. It seems that this pillar was standing here at that time. However, it seems that it is several floors higher."


    Boffith has the memory of a Wanfa female mage who died in the dark period. She saw the iconic totem pole and aroused some impression. She said in a tone of disdain but nostalgia.


    "Hum, it looks like the flesh and blood firewood piles of warlike Lords. The more they pile up, the stronger the Lords will be. It''s just more exquisite." Wei Dao also expressed his views on the totem pole. The flesh and blood firewood pile he said is a demon habit that mages have detected.


    Some demons will stack their booty other than what they eat to form a so-called firewood pile. The blood and meat in the firewood pile will not rot, and will always keep the freshly dead state. At the same time, the demons who own this firewood pile will be strengthened. If they do not destroy the firewood pile, they will be killed even in the abyss, He can also revive by forming a new body from the flesh and blood in the woodpile.


    It is said that the demon lord who is best at this way in the abyss has a pile of flesh and blood that occupies half of the abyss. The firewood pile is so large that it can no longer be destroyed in a moment, which means that he has an almost immortal body and its matching terrible power.


    It is precisely because of this successful case that many demons, especially belligerent demons who do not aim to survive, will build their own firewood piles in the hope of promotion.


    "In fact, the woodpile you mentioned is different. Behind it is a certain will of the abyss that rewards those who prove their strength to it, while totems are more natural. Some totems with a long history will show a tendency of fossilization or botulization. After years of baptism, they can even become a part of the local ecology and create a unique small world. Therefore, totems are one Once you stand down, you''d better not move any more. "


    Cheese didn''t try to come forward and observe the totem closely. He didn''t know what consequences it would trigger. The symbolic meaning of totem is unique. It is beyond the language. Each totem has its own system, which is difficult for outsiders to crack quickly.


    The best way is to enter the territory of totem school without causing totem attention. This is not difficult for cheese.


    "It seems that I have to find a chance to visit other schools. I always feel that I can''t deal with any of them this time."
