他們帶領(lǐng)我走到 village 中間的一個(gè) clearing，那里有一個(gè) ancient 的祭壇。祭壇上擺放著一些 stone tools and carvings。

老頭子 placed the木雕 on the altar, next to a larger stone similar carving of the same twisted creature。

他用當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言說了 something，driver Translated：“他說，這個(gè)木雕 and the stone sculpture on the altar are part of the same power。They are the ancient Guardians of the forest.”

Guardian of the forest？掌柜給我的竟然是 Guardian？

老頭子 then took a knife, making a small cut on his finger, letting a drop of blood fall on the altar。He then motioned for me to do the same。

我 hesitated，but looking at his determined face, I understood I couldn't refuse. I made a small cut on my finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the altar.

When my blood touched the altar, the wood carving and the stone sculpture on the altar simultaneously emitted a faint light. It was very soft, but I could feel a strange connection being formed between them and me.

老頭子 smiled at me, a smile full of wisdom and understanding. He said some words, Driver translated: “他說，the forest has accepted your spirit. You are now connected with its power. But this is also a responsibility.”
