Chapter 263 113. Irreconcilable Conflict
Renn raised his head and glanced at the sun that was not in the sky above Spicazuma when he was there. He only looked at it for a moment and did not dare to look at it again. The sun was too dazzling. It was so dazzling that he felt like he would go blind if he looked at it for a few more seconds.
"You stay right here, don't move around!" Renn looked around and confirmed that this was Spicazuma where he had stayed. He said to the confused Druccis beside him.
In the distance, Coptiti was directing the skinks and monitor lizards to work. When he saw Renn appearing, he waved to Renn and said hello, but he did not come over. Instead, he disappeared from Renn's sight along with the team.
"Ren! My good friend!"
Renn heard the voice and turned around. He saw happiness from the heart on Chupa Coco's face wearing a headdress and crown. He immediately walked quickly towards Chupa Coco. passed.
Under the witness of the Drukis, Ren and Chupa Coco hugged each other tightly and talked.
After reminiscing about old times, Chupa Coco took Ren's hand and walked up the steps of the Great Pyramid of Ichi.
Colonia's attention is drawn to the three Slann on the pyramid, which she sees as otherworldly giant creatures that are themselves unlike any other species in the world. She could feel that the huge head of the Slann Demon Priest contained astonishing wisdom that matched the size of his skull, and the gaze in his spherical eyes was profound and unpredictable.
"Lord of Blades! This? This?" Xiersis felt that his vision was impacted and his outlook was shocked. His mind was now blank. He looked at the giant beasts carrying boulders and wood around him. , then looked at the lizard guard standing there and didn't know what to say.
Not to mention the family guards from the Hell Calamity Family. They had never seen such a scene before. They could only feel the majesty of this city in awe.
On both sides of the pyramid steps were the temple guards standing there. They were as silent as statues, but their eyes were constantly watching Ren.
Ren quickly climbed up the steps, his skin stinging from the powerful magical wind fused by the spiritual vein network. After a while, he came to the three Slann magic priests. He began to salute, and the words he had been brewing for a long time just came out of his mouth. He was interrupted when he was about to speak out.
"You? Hot-blooded? Oracle?" Hua-hua, the third-generation Slann lord from the City of Mist, Slanwupeck, said with some surprise, because he saw the Jaguar God Huang in Ren, a hot-blooded kind. Strange blessing.
"God of Jaguar, yes, Huangqi!" said Lord Adohi Tehega.
Lord Mazdamudi did not speak, but looked at Ren.
Ren saluted again, and after finishing his words of compliment and respect, he began to explain his purpose.
Lord Mazdamudi never said anything. After listening to Ren's words, he nodded slowly and then raised his hands to the sky, with a powerful yellow light bursting out of his eyes.
Standing in the square, Colonia watched in disbelief as the huge wind of magic flowed towards Lord Mazdamudi. This was the most extraordinary spellcaster she had ever seen since traveling around the world! She felt the pure power of instinct in the Slann Demon Priest. He was a natural caster. His mastery of the wind of magic was unparalleled, and there were actually three of them!
"Umak is here! The next phase of the big plan is about to begin!" Lord Mazdamudi said slowly after casting the spell.
"You, come up!" Just when Colonia was still thinking, a clear echo suddenly came from her mind. She was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that it was Slan on the pyramid. The magic priest was letting her pass.
Ren, who was still standing there, watched Colonia come up, made a gesture to Colonia to reassure Colonia, and then he and Chupa Coco disappeared.
After Darkus ducked sideways to avoid Malekith's fierce thrust, he immediately launched a counterattack and swung his long sword to slash at Malekith's lower body. Malekith gracefully took a step back and swung. The sword was blocked with his backhand. When he saw the feint move past Malekith, he raised the sword directly, but Malekith obviously saw his feint. Similarly, Malekith's move just now was also a feint. Rekis' sword was faster than him, and their swords collided hard.
Darkus can now fight Malekith a few times, and occasionally take advantage. It ends here according to the previous routine.
What Darkus didn't expect was that Malekith chose to continue the attack. He felt Malekith's anger, and he also knew why Malekith was like this. It was not the result of Malekith's success. Morathi, the biggest stumbling block on the road, has become a monster again.
Darkus could only resist with all his strength, and occasionally found opportunities to fight back. The fight lasted for nearly half an hour, and the two of them pulled away again.
Malekith threw the sword to the ground and looked at Darkus with his orange eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
"Nagaros has no secrets!" Darkus also threw the sword on the ground, spread his hands and shook his head and said jokingly.
Darkus already knew what happened to Sirsis and also knew the situation in the mansion of Sirsis. It was impossible to guard against it! Fortunately, he comes from the Hell Calamity Family, and he is currently surrounded by some Druchi dignitaries whose identities are not in question for the time being, but it will be hard to say in the future. He feels that it is quite dangerous for the Druchis to be around him.
The cannery in Naggarond is gone. It was reduced to ashes in the raging fire last night. It can only be said that it is okay. Morathi is not crazy enough to destroy the mint in Naggarond. Maybe it is because of the mint. Is it her son's thing?
The loss of the cannery was nothing to Darkus, because it was originally an experimental product. Darkus also predicted that Morathi would become a demon after Malekith left. Before setting off, he He placed all the sick and weak Druchi that Nagarond could find on the Lengyan family's Desperate Pioneer. In his opinion, these people were the real precious wealth.
But what followed was a political problem, but that's all. As a royalist, Dacus would have to break up with Morathi, who was also a royalist, sooner or later. It was just a day earlier or a day later. He The conflict with Morathi is inevitable and irreconcilable. It was precisely because of this that he agreed to Drusala doing that during the Battle of Grond. Anyway, it was like this, so it was better to draw a prize.
The source of the conflict between Darkus and Morathi still lies with Malekith.
Malekith, who was good at deceit, successfully deceived himself. Without him realizing it, his strength was constantly declining. Although his body is immortal, his soul is not! Without constant challenge, his spirit began to become sluggish and sluggish.
Although Malekith didn't notice the change in himself, his mother saw it all. Watching him weaken day by day, Morathi suffered tremendous pain.
Morathi continued to make sacrifices to the Bloody Hand God, hoping that Cairne could restore Malekith's vitality. When the sacrifice failed, she fomented a rebellion in the northern city of Hal Kadra, hoping to revive Malekith's strength.
When news of the rebellion came, Malekith was furious, and he personally destroyed the rebels and reduced the city to rubble. At first Morathi was delighted as his vitality seemed to return to him.
However, this recovery was only temporary. Faced with this fact, Morathi's heart became heavier, but soon, a worse situation appeared.
A year after the destruction of Hal Khadra, a messenger from Athel Loren arrived in Naggarond, bringing with him news that left Malekith brooding. His young wife Alishara now wanted to return to him. This news awakened a glimmer of warmth in his cold heart, and he began to arrange Alisala's trip to Nagarund.
Malekith tried to keep news of Alishara's return away from his mother's ears, but it was all in vain!
Morathi vowed never to let Alishara set foot on the shores of Naggaroth, as Alishara's presence would only further weaken Malekith's fading spirit. Yet even she dared not openly disobey Malekith's wishes in Naggaroth, so she came up with another plan. Traveling to Ulthuan in disguise, she charmed Prince Valdor, a warrior frustrated by political strife.
Driven by mad desire, Valedor believed that Alisala's convoy was a force sent to aid Druch, so his army intercepted Alisala's escort on the Bretonnian coast.
Many elves died that day, but no one knew why they were fighting.
Alishara was the last elf killed in the battle, her chest pierced by Valedor's spear.
When the blood splashed by Alisala fell on Valedor's hands, the madness in his heart completely disappeared. Regretting what he had done, he jumped off a cliff and drowned himself in the sea.
It was not until weeks later that news of Alishara's death reached Naggarond, and for a long time no one dared to tell Malekith the news.
In the end, Morathi carefully hid her joy at knowing that the plan was successful under her cold face. She told Malekith about Alishara's fate. She was relieved to see the last trace of warmth in her son's heart forever. Disappeared.
However, Malekith eventually discovered that Morathi had planned Alishara's death, and in a rage, he imprisoned his mother in the darkest prison.
For nearly a year, Morathi languished in prison, and Malekith never determined her final punishment. Finally, she was forced to kneel before Malekith. Her face looked haggard but she had no regrets about her actions. Just like the scene when Malekith almost hacked his mother to death when he was young, the scene is repeated and he stares at his mother wordlessly, and finally he declares that his mother will not be punished further. Because he also saw that Alisara's death made him stronger, he chose to forgive this time, but he also warned his mother that he would not tolerate manipulation of his destiny again.
Fortunately, Morathi's expression as she left the throne room was not seen by Malekith, because her smile that seemed to see everything would make Malekith doubt whether his decision was correct.
Therefore, the conflict between Darkus and Morathi is irreconcilable. He can make Druchi stronger, but he can also make Malekith "weaker"!
Everything will be fine just waiting for Malekith to return to Naggarond. Malekith's butt has to sit on the throne of Naggarond all the time. Only magic can defeat magic, so that Darkus can come out and move around with peace of mind. , thinking about this, he suddenly remembered another person in the same situation.
Now there is no chance to kill Morathi, so we can only fight first. Once there is a chance, this unstable factor must be eliminated, and cannot be kept for the New Year!
Morathi was not only a stumbling block on Malekith's path to success, but also a stumbling block for Darkeus. In addition to these problems, Morathi is also a player who can beat Wang Zhatianhu's cards to pieces in the military.
The relationship between the mad woman Morathi and the old witch Heliben is also on the same level. However, in Darkus' view, Morathi's madness is fundamentally different from Heliben's madness. He still likes Heliben relatively. That kind of madness, Heliben only cares about two things, one is to serve the God of Bloody Hands, and the other is beauty. The other things have nothing to do with Heliben. Heliben does not care about the politics of Nagaroth and the people she once admired when she was young. of Malekith.
Just when Malekith was about to say something, the door to the throne room opened. He and Darkus turned their heads and looked. It was not Coran or Egileth, but Franais.
"Ren and Chupa Coco are here." Franais first bowed his head to Malekith and saluted, then looked at Darkus and said.
After Dacus nodded, he raised his head towards Franais, motioning for Franais to go out first.
"Going to Lustria to relax? Maybe we can go on a jungle trip or ruins adventure?" After Franais left, Darkus turned his head and said to Malekith with a smile.
The Black Ark Fleet has just sailed out of the underground sea outlet of the Lustria Isthmus. It is still a long way from here to the Broken Cape at the easternmost point of the Lustria continent, and it also takes some time from the Broken Cape to the mouth of the Kuweizha River.
"Adventure? Okay!" Malekith nodded slowly after thinking for a moment.
"But we have to make an appointment!" Darkus began to make conditions to Malekith.
"Oh?" Malekith asked with interest.
"As you said, it is our Druchi's cause to rule Ulthuan!" Darkus still said with a smile, but this time he did not use honorifics, but it was like a conversation between two friends.
Malekith didn't say anything, but laughed heartily. His depressed mood seemed to have recovered a little. He also didn't say whether he agreed or not to agree to the conditions proposed by Darkus, because he had been with Darkus before. Uth has discussed this issue, and he promised that Darkus would not let those group of lizards participate in the conquest of Ulthuan, and would not let Darkus be caught in the middle, at least for now.
"Then I'll make some arrangements and we'll set off in the afternoon!" After finishing speaking, Darkus walked out of the throne room.
The onlookers made way for Darkus. They were curious about Renn who was suddenly teleported to the ship. Of course, Renn was secondary. They were mainly interested in Renn wearing gorgeous feathers and gold. The lizard man was curious, and what was even more interesting was that this lizard man could also speak Elvish with a weird accent.
Darkus walked over and waved his hand to tell the Druchi who were watching the melon eating what to do.
"My lord." Ren said, saluting Darkus.
"Let's go and eat first." Darkus nodded, put his hand on Chupa Coco's shoulder and said with a smile.
Then Darkus gave instructions again, asking the kitchen to cook the best ingredients on the Malevolent Temple, and asked Walter to notify the main personnel of the Black Ark Fleet to come for a meeting in the afternoon. In addition, he also asked Genevieve to pack her luggage. Take out the gifts.
A welcome banquet began, with the same Druchi, Darkus brothers and followers, and members of the Hell Calamity family headed by Dulias also attended.
Renn didn't eat much, but held his daughter and talked about his experiences along the way. Chupa Keke kept showing off the food in his mouth and enjoyed eating it.
At the end of the banquet, Darkus gave the white fork bell that Colonia obtained in the Kulish Jungle to Chupa Coco. Chupa Coco, who had already eaten, kept holding the white fork bell as if he had found a treasure. Shaking, the arrhythmic sound made by the white ivory fork bell seemed to bring some kind of madness and death. Darkus said something to Chupa Coco that none of the Druchi present could understand, and then Chupa Coco shook next to Maranul.
Maranur collapsed and put his arms on the dining table and covered his forehead with his hands. What surprised Darkus was that Ren's daughter did not feel frightened and cry at the sound of the white fork bell, but followed the sound. rang out and giggled happily.
"Except for those who need to command the ship and study, I will pack up my things later and we will go out for a walk." Darkus ordered after seeing that all the Druchs had eaten, then looked at Ren and asked, "Are you Go back? Or stay here?" When he said this, he looked at Elmir again. He had always been very open-minded. The matter was done and Renne could stay here to accompany Elmir and his daughter.
"Master, let him go back." Before Ren could say anything, Elmir made the decision for Ren.
The Drukis present started to boo, and they were even laughed out loud when they saw Ren's confused expression and turned to look at Elmir. Chupa Coco also understood and was also holding his stomach and hissing. Smiling loudly.
When Darkus was meeting to arrange the next matters for the Black Ark Fleet, the Druchi who had packed their luggage were already waiting at the place where Ren and Chupa Coco came before. They were divided into different groups to discuss the Lustria continent. They were curious about the situation there. Among these Druchi, apart from those who followed Darkus, only Cradin had been there. Suddenly, their voices suddenly stopped with the arrival of Malekith. , they stared at Malekith with their mouths open. During the noon banquet, Darkus did not tell them that His Majesty the Witch King was coming, so they reacted and began to salute Malekith.
Malekith did not bring anyone with him, but was alone. He wore Midnight Armor and carried no luggage. The Destroyer was inserted into his waist and he held the Supreme Magic Shield in his left hand.
"From now on! I am not your Majesty! I am an adventurer just like you!" After the Druchis finished their salutes, Malekith stretched out his right hand and lowered it, laughing and saying.
The Drukis were not confused. They were all from powerful backgrounds. They knew that His Majesty the Witch King had started playing role-playing games again. They did not respond with words such as "His Majesty". Anyone who dared to say that really didn't think it was a big deal. , causing trouble for yourself.
"It seems that the next adventure will be very interesting. I can't wait." Drusala stood up and said something else.
The Drukis also reacted, and then they started to find something to say to warm up the situation. Malekith also cooperated and talked some useless nonsense with them. They seemed to be a group of adventurers waiting to set off, but Malekith kept his eyes on Chupa Coco as he spoke.
Chupa Coco seemed to sense something from Malekith. After looking at each other for a while, he hid behind Renn and used Renn's body to block Malekith's sight.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off. A fantasy adventure begins." After the meeting, Darkus came over. He slapped his hands, spread his hands and announced with a smile. . He said that, but he knew that it was the rainy season in Lustria, and it might be more boring than staying on the Black Ark.
There are still those familiar old faces, the three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family who have been to the continent of Lustria with Darkus, and Walter, Carlion, Baine and Genevieve of the Thorn family.
After that, there were still the same old faces, Maranur, Drusala, Selile, Kewell, Garroth. There are also the two sons of the Dread Lord Silses, Dorian and Julian, the twins of Hagrid Grave's Crooked Claw family, Cradin, and Mara, the daughter of Elanya and Draka Nightlord. Gaussian.
Edmund, the centurion who initially followed Darkus, has been promoted to the Dread Lord, and now selects soldiers on the Tower of God's Blessed Villains in Loxia, doing what he should do. Severin, the eldest son of Ernst, Elmir and Lord Draka, continued his studies on the Malevolent Temple as a trainee admiral, as did the cold-eyed family pirates headed by Naika.
Darkus nodded to Chupa Coco, and in a second, the group of Druchi disappeared there.
"The rain has stopped?" Darkus put his hands in front of his eyes. Like Ren, he couldn't adapt to the dazzling light for a moment, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Will you still love me if I take leave tomorrow?
The teleportation sieve failed. The next chapter is
the chapter of the day after tomorrow in the Chaos Demon Realm. The dream of
the Witch King who returns alone in a pot will end on the 31st. Spread the flowers! (End of chapter)
