Chapter 272 122. Lord Mazdamudi, the Pope of Lustria,
stared at Darkus, as if he wanted to sense something from Darkus’s face.
Darkos always maintained an indifferent expression. As Ancient Saint Iqi, Umac could feel the majestic power emanating from the stars at this moment, but that was all. Ancient Saint Iqi Didn't show up, didn't contact him, and left a few words in his mind.
Before the continent split and chaos descended, this medieval world belonged to the ancient saints. These ancient unknown beings created the Lizardmen and raised the genetic lineage of humans, elves, and dwarves to their current intelligent form, and formulated the basic natural laws of the world. Today, the will of the Old Ones still exists in all areas undisturbed by Chaos, although few are aware of their magical influence on the world.
But Darkos felt the power of the Ancient Saints tonight, and he seemed to understand something. The Ancient Saints would never appear in the medieval world!
However, Darkus did not say such treacherous and heretical remarks. He also looked at Lord Mazdamudi and looked at each other silently. To put it bluntly, the time to test their tacit understanding has arrived!
Lord Mazdamudi's mind was constantly flashing with the random remarks and nonsense of the Slann priests about the grand plan. At this time, he was so tired of this noise. Before Darkus arrived, the Lizard Man has been declining, although he is responsible for it, after all, he is leading the lizard people.
But now Lord Mazdamudi discovered that the decline of the Lizardmen was also related to these Slann Demon Priests. They rarely took action, and most of them were evading and unwilling to listen to his opinions on the big plan.
However, Lord Mazdamudi had to be patient and listen. After all, he was only the second-generation Slann, not his teacher, the first-generation Slann magic priest Kroka. When he stared at Dacus, he also tried to draw Dacus into this network of connections, but he could never find a way.
No one can be sure how the agent of the Ancient Saint was chosen. Perhaps Lord Mazdamudi's teacher doesn't know either. He has been silently observing Darkos since he first arrived in Lustria. However, he did not question that Darkus was a hot-blooded species, nor did he question that Darkus was a fake.
Omens, stone tablets, prophecies, and the actions of Darkus, all these manifestations prove that Darkus is Umak of the ancient Saint Ichi! The incarnation of the ancient saint Iqi! The agent of the ancient Saint Iqi!
Instead, Lord Mazdamudi believed that Darkus was not a Slann Demon Priest created by the Old Saints like him, but an independent individual and special existence. He no longer stared at Darkus, but turned his head to the slate. He read the information on the slate again. He wanted to get some information from the slate. He blocked the noise of the Slann Demon Priest in his mind, and soon he His eyes stopped on the word "Cosmic Wheel".
"Wheel of the Universe!" Lord Adoshi Tehega spoke the word slowly.
"Yes! The Wheel of the Universe!" Lord Huahua looked at Darkus and echoed.
Lord Mazdamudi nodded. He did not repeat it, but told the Slann Demon Priests the information about the stone tablet that Darkus found today through telepathy.
"Wheel of the Universe! Umak! Darkus!" After Lord Mazdamudi finished speaking the information on the slate, he did not let the Slann Demon Priest, who had fallen into deep thought, start making noise again. Said that he wanted to confirm the identity of Hezhi Dacus as the wheel of the universe and the authority of Dacus as Umak's guidance for the big plan.
This is Lord Mazdamudi's insight into the grand plan. With the arrival of Darkus, he sees hope for the revival of the lizard people and the world! He hopes that Darkus can continue to lead the Lizardmen and restore them to their glory before the great invasion!
Moreover, the stone tablet obtained today also indicates that all this will be realized in the near future. More importantly, Lord Adohi-Tehega and Lord Hua-hua also expressed support for Lord Mazdamudi's opinions.
Lord Adohi-Teh plus represents the City of the Moon and Taraxlan, while Lord Hua-hua represents the City of Mist and Slanwupeck. Before Darkus arrived, these two temple cities, plus the City of the Sun, Hesiota, and the First City, Itaza, were the only new lizard-man temple cities that could be hatched in the entire Lustria continent. .
Jokingly speaking, the status of these four temple cities is comparable to Shenshang and Guangbei in the eyes of foreigners.
The second-generation Lord Slanhuini Aitankui of Slanwupeck still hasn’t woken up, but the fourth-generation Lord Slantanukli, who has been in contact with Darkus, has spoken and expressed his support for Lord Mazdamudi’s big plan. The third generation Lord Slanthlot of Itaza also expressed support.
At this moment, Darkus' position among the lizardmen of Lustria was confirmed. However, he still did not have actual leadership and ruling rights, but he had an unparalleled status and could give appropriate orders to these rulers. The Slann Demon Priest of the Temple City, to a certain extent, he is more like the incarnation of a religion, the Pope of the entire Lustria continent!
One time, Darkus couldn't find a place to stay after dark, so he found a farmhouse, knocked on the door and said he wanted to stay overnight.
"Who wants to stay overnight?" the old man inside asked through the door.
"Listen up! Umak of the ancient saint Ichi, the Hand of the Witch King, the Wheel of the Universe~, the Pope of the Lustria Continent, the Navy Grand Admiral of Druch, the Divine Choice of the Oracle Weaver, and the Blade The divine choice of the Lord, the divine choice of the deceiver, the champion of the Lord of the Abyss, Druch who rejected the God of Bloody Hands, the kind and generous Darkus!" "The
family is small and cannot accommodate these people!" The old man He said quickly.
But then again, although Darkus cannot rule the temple city, as Umac of Ancient Saint Iqi, he can inform places outside the temple city of Lustria mainland, as long as they are blessed by Ancient Saint Iqi All creatures will obey his orders, except of course the Tyrannosaurus and Dinosaur. . .
At this time, Darkus had stopped looking at Lord Mazdamudi. He didn't say anything. Instead, he jumped onto Lord Mazdamudi's bed and found a place to lean on and sat down. , he put his hands on the back of his head and raised his head to look up at the stars again. The effect of the stargazing room was better than what he had seen outside before. His soul seemed to have left his body at this moment, drifting to the vast sky with the twinkling of stars. in the universe.
Darkus couldn't describe that wonderful feeling. It might be the things he had experienced since he was a child, which made him essentially a dualist who uses rules and is neither idealistic nor materialistic. On the contrary, he is both idealistic and materialistic. But trying to balance the two can easily lead to conflicts. He feels that this is a kind of psychological wishful thinking and has no practical significance. But everything changed after he came to this world. Before he came to this world, he thought that it was useful to predict the future development of the planet under his feet by observing other planets and celestial bodies. . . well. But maybe it's not as simple as he thought?
"Nine years of compulsory education, horse riding, shamanism, Feng Shui, ancestor worship, time travel? MMP! The new car I just picked up!"
Just when Darkus was looking at the stars in the sky, lost in thought and mumbling to himself, Maz Lord Damudi's voice brought him back.
"Dear Umak! The Slann Demon Priests are waiting and listening to your words!" Lord Mazdamudi stretched out his silky palm and caressed Darkus' shoulder firmly.
"For the Old Saint! For the big plan! We must continue to fight against Chaos! As it says on the slate, the world will be reshaped, the darkness will be destroyed, and destiny will be rearranged in such a conflict! We will Usher in the victory that belongs to us!" Darkus did not roar at the microphone or wave his arms vigorously, but said calmly.
The three Slann Demon Priests present kept nodding their heads, fully recognizing Darkos's words.
After finishing speaking, Darkus continued to lean there and look at the stars in the sky, lost in thought. He knew that Lord Mazdamudi was very noisy at this time, and he was waiting.
I don't know how long it took, but just when Darkos was about to fall asleep, the noise of the Slann Demon Priests finally fell into primitive silence, and everything calmed down again. The Slann Demon Priests should meditate and do astrology. horoscope.
Lord Mazdamudi once again reached out and stroked Darkus' shoulder with his palm, indicating that Darkus was over, and it also represented the beginning of a new era and a new big plan!
"How many Skink Oracles are there in the entire Lustria continent now?" Darkus asked after thinking for a while.
"Before, it was nine, and now it is ten. Last year, a new one was born in Silanwupeck, but he has not passed his trial yet." Lord Huahua said.
"That's right! Now! Immediately! Go check and see if there are any new reactions from those polluted hatching tanks!" Darkus nodded and suddenly gave an categorical order.
Although Darkus and the Slann Demon Priests did not obtain effective explicit information from the stars in the sky, they also knew that the shining constellations belonging to the Old Saints represented the flourishing of all things, and that new power would pass through the stars of the Ancient Saints. The power comes to this planet.
As recorded on a tablet in Hesiota, the City of the Sun, the descendants blessed by the ancient saint Typok will return the next time the stars shine, and once again resist the "dark forces" that plunder the treasures of Lustria's land.
After a while, the three Slann Demon Priests got the news, but there was no result. Those polluted incubation pools were not re-purified and given birth to new vitality because of the shining stars in the sky.
"Perhaps it's time to get the Egg of Quartz Fruit back from the Mirror Pool of Tebok?" Darkus sighed. After seeing Lord Mazdamudi nod, he continued, "Let's use the Skink Oracle in a different way. Let's go."
"Gather the Skink Oracles! Start from the Isthmus of Ruth Kia, from the Taibok Mirror Pool in the northeast to the Huangqi Temple in the south. No, I once I’ve been there, but there’s nothing there now, the Hollow Lake in the south, from the Pyramid of Dawn in the east to the Monument of the Sun in the west! Launch a dragnet search! Look for stone slabs, all available information and items left by the ancient saints. I believe There is far more than one ancient holy sanctuary similar to Pahuasko in Lustria!"
The three Slann Demon Priests started thinking and discussing after hearing Dakous's words. After a while, they nodded and recognized Dakoos. According to Keus, they believe that this method is indeed more efficient than the previous Skink Oracles who roamed the Lustria continent through prophecies.
Although the grand plan has entered a new stage, there is very little that can be done at this stage. Druch's Black Ark Fleet is still floating on the sea, and the lizardman army heading to the coast of Huta is still gathering.
Then there was the issue of the distribution of the two black cubes. The black cube that could give birth to the cold lizard subspecies Velociraptor was assigned by Darkus to the City of the Sun and Hesiota. At this time, he became idealistic again. He believed With the shining of the constellation of Ancient Saint Taibok and the content on the stone tablet, the UP rate can be increased, that is, the dark force may not appear, and even if it does, it will not be Druchi.
The black cube previously obtained in the City of Destiny and Ashoto was temporarily handed over to Lord Hua-hua as an exchange of interests, while Taraxlan continued to build a new blessing incubator.
Taking advantage of this moment, Darkus took out the octagonal medallion of Plan, the idol of Kurkus, and the amulet of Valunger from his arms, and asked the Slann priests to see if there were any problems, such as chaos. Corrosion or hidden backdoors. Nothing went wrong as it turned out, and with Zarkhan's banishment, the items became purely magical items.
The Skink Priest stationed at the Mirror Pool of Taibok was teleported over by Lord Mazdamudi. This Skink Priest with the mark of the ancient Saint Taibok carefully held the Egg of the Quartz Fruit in his hand.
Darkus put the parchment riddle on Chengyu before jumping down from it. Through the green mist, see what is rising from the canopy. The ancient ancestors will use their ruby eyes to see what is rising from the canopy. welcome you? Although he is Umak of the ancient saint Iqi, he has never understood the riddle, so he might as well leave it to the Slann magic priests.
Under the reluctant and tangled eyes of the Skink Priest, Darkus carefully took the Quartz Egg and then turned around and nodded to Lord Mazdamudi.
The next second, Darkus reappeared in the passage of the Ichi Shwedagon Pagoda. He came to the room where the three Takaia brothers and sisters rested, and handed the Quanguo Egg to Alyssa.
"I don't know whether it is right or wrong to hand over the Quanguo Egg to you at this time." Darkus sighed as he sat on the ground after handing over the Quanguo Egg.
"Sir, I will use my life to guard the egg of Quanguo!" Alyssa said firmly. She knew the meaning of Darkus' words. After saying that, she lowered her head and stared blankly for a moment. She exclaimed directly. , "Sir, I can feel the power contained inside calling me! It seems to be coming out!?"
Alyssa thought it was Darkus hinting that Malekith and the accompanying sorceress would pry or ask for it. Darkos' words also have this meaning, but this is not the main thing. What he is worried about is that as the contents of the egg of the Shining Spring Fruit of the Ancient Saint Taibok Constellation will break out of the shell, it may happen if Alyssa is not present. Knowing how to fetch water from a bamboo basket will be in vain.
You must know that in the City of Ashes and in the Pyramid Observation Room of Pahuasike, the Egg of Quarvine guided Alyssa's soul out of her body, or it could be said that Alyssa caused it through the medium of the Egg of Quarvine. If Lord Mazdamudi hadn't given Alyssa a hand at the critical moment, Alyssa would have been left there. But maybe Quanguo Egg reacted because Alyssa was there? Or are there some other special conditions?
You must know that the egg of Quanguo is very Schrödinger. It was originally a dead object when it was discovered in the City of Ashes and Pahuasike. Even Lord Mazdamudi couldn't find the point. In the end, it was given as a not very important meeting gift. Darkus, Darkus passed it to Alyssa.
"Oh? Are you also blessed by Ancient Saint Taibok?" Darkus said jokingly with a smile.
Alyssa didn't say anything, and shook her head in confusion.
Darkus turned his attention to Ren again.
"Sir, something kept echoing in my mind before, but I don't know why the echo became clearer as the night came." Ren said cautiously.
Darkus knew that Renn was probably not affected by Chaos, but the Ancient Saint! Renn found an opportunity to talk to him about this matter last night. He told the three brothers and sisters exactly what happened tonight.
"Sir, I also felt something after night came, but..." Alyssa shook her head in distress as she spoke.
"You are not really blessed by the ancient saint Taibok, are you?" Darkus said with some surprise. He knew the various situations Alyssa encountered when she followed him. He knew that Alyssa was in trouble during the Twilight Tide. She was blessed by the elf god Hecate, otherwise Alyssa would not have been able to use Katang's transformation spell to transform into a war hydra.
But Darkus can also understand that there is no conflict, these are completely two systems. After all, he was the ancient saint Iqi'umak, and he was also chosen by the four gods of the elves. Maybe it was more than that. After all, he also rejected the bloody hand god.
Darkus and the three brothers and sisters did not dwell on what happened to Alyssa. Maybe it was not time yet. After all, the matter with Ren in front of them needed to be resolved.
"Did you feel that the power was in the south when you were in Hesiota? And did you feel it was in the south here?"
"Yes."
Darkus nodded. He vaguely guessed where it was, but he didn't say. What, but looking at the three brothers and sisters.
"Sir, do you still remember the Huangqi Temple we encountered on the way from Pahuasike to here?" After a while, the three brothers and sisters saw Darkus leaning silently against the wall. After glancing at it, Franais said cautiously.
"It's a coincidence. I thought it was there, but we turned around and there was nothing there, or..." Darkus paused at the end. After a pause, he continued, "Or it's always been there. ! It’s just that we don’t know?! Let’s just go and take a look tomorrow. You guys should go to bed early.”
After finishing speaking, Darkus stood up and left the room with the courtesy of the three brothers and sisters.
"If my guess is correct, are you waiting for me? My sister." Darkus met Colonia who was alone in the passage. He walked over and asked with interest.
"Yes, I have a lot to say to you."
"Go over there." Darkus pointed to the other exit of the passage and said. After going out from there, the echo of the soul of the first generation Slann Demon Priest will be in Where the pyramid is backlit.
The two siblings sat down on a step. Dacus ignored Colonia and leaned on the bricks. A lot of things happened today and he was a little tired.
"I heard Sirsis say that he is dead?"
"Yes, he is dead, very dead. His Majesty the Witch King and our clan mother have confirmed it. He died very strangely. He was killed by Nagali Ya's spell hit, and Nagalia's defeat was a foregone conclusion at that time. Maybe Nagalia wanted to take him to escape? But the power of that spell was so majestic, so powerful that even the demon in his body could not help him. He resisted, and afterwards I asked His Majesty the Witch King who was present at the time." Halfway through his words, Darkus leaned up again and looked at Colonia.
"His Majesty the Witch King said that the spell seemed to be interfered by some strange existence, that's why the spell was so powerful! Maybe he shouldn't have died there, he should go to the Tower of Prophecy to find the key soul dagger, and then take advantage of the chaos to ride his cold lizard to the north to meet his own destiny." Darkus continued, taking out the necklace he had prepared earlier from his arms.
This necklace may have been a magic item in six thousand years, but when Darkus found it in the sinister peaks, it had turned into an ordinary Nagaryth ancient style necklace. Colonia later brought the necklace back to Kraka Lund. Mother Annasara and her group of sorceresses cast an extremely secret spell on the necklace. It turned out that Mother Annasara was really powerful. With two brushes, Zakhan never found out that the necklace would kill it. secret.
"But his destiny was interfered with by you. Maybe if it weren't for you, he would have obtained the real soul dagger after killing Lehan? After collecting five magic items, he could have taken advantage of the chaos to run out of Grond and go to North." Colonia did not question Darkus, she said with a complicated smile.
Darkus glanced at Colonia with a strange expression. He was a little worried now or maybe he was possessed by the fun man. He wanted to ask, but he was also afraid that Colonia would give him a hard time. Love him!
"Maybe? After all, your brother is the conqueror of destiny! Otherwise, what about you?" Darkus said meaningfully.
"The leader of the Slann Demon Priest told me that the curse on my arm contains the power of chaos, and other methods may be needed to completely eliminate it."
Various evidences show that the snake people or Nagas of Kurish are The pure Chaos tribe believes in something called the Serpent of Chaos, but it is hard to say whether the Serpent of Chaos refers to the Slaanesh Skin or an independent Chaos God like Hashut.
"Jungle lotus is found in Lustria in the south. I even planted it with skinks before. You can rest assured about the yield." Darkus comforted him.
Jungle lotus is a very special plant. There are only a few of it in the Lustria jungle. However, it turns out that it can be grown. A small amount of it is also planted in various temple cities, but it cannot support the huge demand.
Darkus is planning to carve out a piece of land in the City of Despair and Asriel specifically for planting for trade with the lizardmen. Skinks especially need this stuff, especially when they are injured and suck after battles.
Jungle lotus is like catnip. The whole plant contains a component similar to nepetalactone. This component releases a gas that can be captured by skinks. The component will enter through the nasal cavity of skinks and then interact with the sensory nerves. The skink's receptors bind and are transmitted by the nervous system to the brain, and then the skink becomes excited and agitated, as if it were having a seizure. In addition, jungle lotus can eliminate flatulence and assist digestion after eating it. External use can relieve inflammation and pain.
Jungle lotus is a crop with extremely high medicinal and strategic value. If possible, Darkus would like to purify the special ingredients in jungle lotus and make something like lotus candy.
"In addition, I can now reveal a secret to you, the incarnation of the Mother Goddess Aisha, where we will go next." Darkus said pretending to be mysterious.
"Elsa, the mother goddess of our Elf God?" Colonia asked in surprise. This was the first time she knew about this.
"Yes, if Aisha can't do it, then we will..."
"If it doesn't work, we will go to Kurish and chop up that Blood Naga Queen! We are family!" Colonia imitated Darkwu Said in Si's tone.
"Take this." Darkus laughed loudly. After laughing, he took out an object from his arms and handed it to Colonia and continued.
"The idol of Kurkus! Those Nurgle Skinners back then were so disgusting." Colonia said with disgust after taking the idol.
"Yes, I just showed it to the Slann Demon Priest. It's no problem. Can you activate the spell on it?"
Colonia didn't say anything, but nodded. She put the previous necklace and Kurku Si's idol was clutched tightly in his hand.
"That's it, a lot of things happened today, I want to rest." Darkus didn't ask Colonia about the story of Hagrid Grave and Malus. He was not interested. He thought What? He stopped there and turned his head to look at Colonia who was still looking at the thing in his hand and said, "I put his body in a coffin made of obsidian. Governor Draka promised me to bury him at the sea. The Blackwater Ferry south of G. Grave, the specific location is on the hillside south of the Blackwater Ferry. If you want, you can go and see him. Of course, his cold lizard called Malice is now on the Malicious Temple at home. ."
"Buried there because it was the most glorious and glorious place in his short life." After Darkus finished speaking, he entered the pyramid without looking back.
The story of Malus is completely over here, with a beginning and an end.
I personally think there is no need to worry about what the Ancient Saint is and what form he takes. In my opinion, the Ancient Sage is more like the GM that GW needs. When opening a new server, I invited the Ancient Sage to come out. I combined the content of the eighth edition of the Lizardmen's medieval military book and the AOS3 version of the military book to turn the Ancient Sage into a GM. The constellation. . These two chapters were very difficult to write, _(:з」∠)_. . . Then yesterday’s duplicate chapter was deleted, and the subscription points seemed to have become a dead debt. . Sorry
