Darkus was so pleased with himself. He was not overly affectionate, but he was not ready to kill Haken at all. He half-crouched and smiled evilly at Wilhelmina who was dominating Haken's body. When Wilhelmina wasn't paying attention, she snatched back the doll called Anna.
Wilhelmina, who was originally timid and kind-hearted, suddenly revealed her fierceness, her eyes revealed a destructive gaze, and her mood became extremely angry. Then she screamed at a high decibel, and opened her hands to snatch and pounce. action, but the scream lasted for just one second before being interrupted by the silence spell cast by Malekith.
Darkus returned Anna again, and Wilhelmina, who had caught the doll, returned to normal, and he waved his hand boredly. He is not interested in this little girl. Haken, whose soul was torn apart by the magic of the Slann Demon Priest, has many personalities. Just like rolling dice, Haken doesn't know who he is and which personality will dominate his body.
After a group of Druchi sorceresses came out, the army continued southward, but took a slight detour. According to the documents obtained by Drusala in the Dark Castle, there is a shrine in the Blood Swamp, which is dedicated to a powerful being. Haken organized a group of conspiracies composed of captured wizards to continue for hundreds of years. A ritual that attempts to awaken and bind that powerful being.
Darkus went there with great interest. He wondered what kind of magical existence there was. As a result... there was no magical existence, just the shrine of ancient Santa Clara Shia. This was also his first time in Lustria. See Krashia's shrine in the jungle.
On the way to New Baker Port, Darkus kept playing with Harken's flintlock gun. In his opinion, it was an extremely strange and abstract flintlock gun. This gun could fire twelve rounds continuously. The lead bullet adopts the superimposed loading mode, which is similar to the abstract weapon of Metal Storm. To put it more bluntly, it is the principle of the magic bullet fired during the New Year.
The gun body has twelve magazine covers that look like hammers, and a movable, modular-like mobile firing device. The detachable barrel is placed in sequence with lead bullets-propellant-lead bullet-propellant. , placed twelve times in a row, and through the mobile firing device, the propellant is ignited sequentially from the front end of the muzzle to fire the lead bullets in sequence.
Moreover, Darkus also noticed that there is a snap-on structure at the muzzle of the gun. It seems that another pipe can be installed to turn it into a long-tube continuous-fire flintlock gun. What he is holding now looks more like a Spray the short tube. In his opinion, the one thing that stood out about this thing was that it was unreliable. If it failed to fire and misfired, forcibly firing the next round was likely to cause a terrible explosion. In the spirit of playing with fire and pissing on the bed, he was not interested. To fire two shots, it would be more practical to use a repeating crossbow.
Malekith, who was riding on the cold lizard, took it over after Darkus got tired of playing with it and experimented with it with great interest. As expected, as Darkus expected, a violent explosion occurred. Haha The weapon that was willing to conquer all directions was turned into a pile of discarded parts in Malekith's hands.
New Baker Port has now become a doomsday scene. After the dead were gathered into the Black Castle, or after they chose to turn into bats and fly south, it became a venue for the living carnival. Some smart living people chose to paddle The boat sailed through the Sargasso weeds to the south bank of Kuiweizha River and escaped into the jungle. Some chose to stay in New Baker Port for the last carnival. As soon as the lizardman army came out of the Blood Swamp, they could see the sky-high flames and unpleasant stench of New Baker Port.
On the sea, Druchi's five black arks were constantly squeezing the ships in this area from three directions, constantly compressing the space for the ships to move. Only a small number of ships found the opportunity to slip out, or choose to Find a hidden location to lurk, and the rest will basically be sunk.
The Harkon Empire, which had been entrenched on the east coast of Lustria for nearly a thousand years, was completely wiped out by the joint encirclement of Druchi and the Lizardmen. Even the remnants that escaped could not make waves.
The city of New Baker Port is not an occupied temple city, but a place of death full of filth and overlooking. The Slann lords have a tacit understanding of not letting the lizardman army enter.
The trend of thought must change with the changes in policies and social environment. It is not just that you can give an order and create some slogans, slogans and policies one second, and then change it the next second. What about playing with stars? The trend of thought is going to change. The arrogant and closed elves of Nagaryth will become Druchi under the leadership of Malekith. Then they can also change Druchi back to Asul, or turn Druchi into It must be done to combine with Asur and become a more relatively perfect and compatible race, but in the eyes of Darkus and Malekith, at least not yet.
Immediately afterwards, New Baker Port became a place for Druchi carnival. In the spirit of not sealing the sword for three days after the city was broken, the living people became the prey of the Druchies. The Druchies who have been at sea for such a long time need appropriate indulgence. Ichiban.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Druch, the lizardmen's army would march into New Baker Port, and these living people wouldn't be able to benefit from it. Among the lizardmen's army is Taito Ikao, who is neutral and can communicate with the hot-blooded species.
But most of them are Chupa Coco who hangs the hot-blooded head on the wall as a decoration, Tehenhoin who throws the hot-blooded head into the snake pit and sacrifices it to Sotek. As for the Skink Priest who is good at performing human sacrifices, there are more There are countless of them, and the lizard people are also happy to hang the heads of hot-blooded species on their bodies as decorations.
Slann Mage Priest? Whether they were extremes who believed that hot-blooded people should stay in their own land and not come to Lustria, moderates, or neutrals, they didn't care.
To put it bluntly, the lizardmen have emotions, and it is their duty to fight against the forces of chaos and destruction, but they do not possess the so-called traditional morality.
The sea currents became sluggish, and there were large swarms of Sargassum swaying in the water that could entangle ships. Under the presence of Druch, who was good at sailing and using magic, it became no longer magical.
Now, five black arks are parked in a row at the mouth of Kuiweizha River, and a large number of predator ships are parked in the ports of Sargassum Group and New Baker Port.
Haken finally became more normal. Haken's personality took over Haken's body again. After observing his surroundings, he then glared at the elf standing in front of him.
Later, Darkus felt that he was being stared at by Harken. This is a regular skill for vampires. Genevieve once told him that he could try to destroy the target's will by staring into his eyes. If the target did not pass After a Will test, you will be controlled by the vampire and obey every instruction of the vampire. Of course, you can also struggle out in the follow-up and get rid of the vampire's control.
"Did you just stare at me? Vampire stare?" Darkus said angrily after punching Haken.
Darkus felt nothing but a glare from Haken, let alone any mental struggle. He didn't think that this was the ring given to him by Malekith taking effect. He thought that everything changed after he came out of the ancient gap. He successfully resisted the body snatching and obtained a mental passive BUFF. , as for the specific function, it seems that apart from being able to detect the soul at critical moments and resist certain mental attacks, he doesn't know the other functions... He also doesn't have a panel or skill instruction manual.
Haken, who wanted to quench Darkus, was punched back by Darkus.
Haken, who is now outside New Baker Port, knows that his empire has been destroyed. He also seems to know the fate he will face next. Facing the questions from the elf in front of him, he is very bachelor and does not say a word. He has nothing left. He didn't even have the qualifications to propose conditions. Besides, this was New Baker Port, not Baimen Tower.
The Druchi warlocks headed by Malekith, who were good at manipulating souls, proposed to study Haken's strange soul, but Darkos rejected it. The reason why he still keeps Haken now is to study the so-called Ancient Saint, if it were true, he was worried that he would be tricked, and that the whole thing would be that Haken's head would explode, or that the warlock who cast the spell would be killed.
Moreover, Darkus mentioned the word Huta to Haken, who was dominated by Haken. He remembered that mentioning Huta in front of the ancient saint would lead to angry rebuke of that fool Haken, but nothing happened... He I found that the operation of Haken's split personality is very strange. Not one person is working, the others are in OB, just like the ancestral game engine of some single-core processors. Although they are not working, they can know the changes in the outside world. Rather, each personality is independent, and these independent personalities have no memory of what other personalities have done.
The whole situation is very stiff now. Darkus can't tell Haken that there is only one way to save himself now, and that is to let your ancient saint personality come out. He didn't want to explain to Druch and the Slan lords why he knew that there was a so-called ancient saint personality in Haken's body. Whether it was true or not, he was an ancient saint.
Darkus was too curious. Except for the strange pair of Horned Rat and Sotek, the rest of the Ancient Saints might be in the records of the Lizardmen.
The main ancient saints include Kotego, the sun god, Huangqi, the Jaguar god, Razkoto, the ruthless god, Tepok, the wind and magic god, Zongqi, the water god, Kuiji, the warrior god, and Iqi, the beast god. , as well as some unknown and niche ancient saints.
For example, there is Axlberyn, an ancient sage associated with the night sky and the stars.
Quiteli, who is brother to Kuiji, is also an ancient saint who is good at fighting.
Casuan, similar to Huangqi, is a predator that will wait for a strike to enter a state of perfect stillness, with the ability to cause beasts to suddenly become silent and the wind to become still.
Krashia, introduced before, is an ancient sage revered by chameleons.
Ihamenshi, the one who sets the sky on fire when invaders overthrow the Great Plan, an ancient sage who represents justice.
Taranxra, a female ancient sage who rides a sky chariot and holds a war spear who is good at tactics and strategy. His god Taranxla's war spear was equipped by the current Ku Jia, and the city named after him was born Nakai.
Z'Kadi, the Old One of attack and rage, is revered almost exclusively by the Saurus. In battle, Saurus people who worship Z'Kadi will worship him by devouring their enemies' entire hearts. Shapati, an ancient sage who represents long-range power and revenge, was at his most powerful during the early stages of the War between Snake and Rat, and was believed by the skinks until the appearance of Sotek.
Ashoto, an ancient sage who represents destiny, will choose those lizardmen destined for greatness. Ku-Gar was born from the city named after him, and bears his mark on his forehead.
Ashhoranka, a lost Old One, is interestingly believed by the Slann priests to be still on a time-traveling mission and has not yet returned.
Zorga, an Old One who represents the stone spirit, the giver of power, and the arbiter.
Potek, the ancient saint who can share the secret of time and teach the lizardmen to resist magical attacks. It is worth noting that he is the messenger dedicated to the ancient saint Teppok.
Thorok, an Old One who represents precision, is said to have the ability to store energy for use at just the right moment in objects dedicated to him.
Uxar, an Old One who represents language and speech, is believed by the Slann Magisters to have created language and taught it to the lizardfolk and their warm-blooded creations.
Darkus Hellscourge, one...
There is also a special being among these ancient saints, that is Rigg. He is depicted as a tall old female figure, but he is not among the group of ancient saints. The only female, after all, is Talanxra. However, he was ostracized like an outsider, and was said to have been abandoned by the group of ancient saints.
According to records of Amazon mythology, in her heyday, Rigg had been wandering around the world. She gave birth to a child called "Amazon Mother Kalim" with the elf god Mex. Founded its own society, and gave birth to Amazon daughters who were its eternal assistants.
What I want to say is that in the elven pantheon, there are not only heavenly gods and underground gods, but also some extremely niche neutral gods, but the more famous one is Morayig Heg.
The Amazons believe in Rigg as a god. They believe that Rigg is the patron saint of war, representing blood, violence and death. Different from the abstract style of the lizard people, it is said that the description of Rigg on the shrine is nearly 2.8 meters tall. of height, with flaming red hair and eyes.
Although Rigg is an ancient saint, the lizard people don't like him. They can't even keep a distance from him or show gratitude. The vastness of the jungle allows the lizardmen and Amazons to barely coexist. There is even some degree of trade and cooperation between the two races, but the lizardmen will also be wary of the Amazons active in the jungle, and occasionally will appear in the jungle. Conflicts break out, of course, these all depend on the specific situation.
Originally, Darkos was supposed to cover up the fact that Haken had the personality of the Ancient Sage. No matter what kind of immortal this so-called Ancient Sage was, it would be fine if this Ancient Sage was Li Gui, but if it were Li Kui, things would be a bit tricky, although he always I'm mocking myself for being half a Slann priest who can't use magic, but strictly according to the lizard people's beliefs, Umak is considered an ancient saint!
Rather than some Slann Demon Priest who can't do magic, just like Botek who is the messenger of the ancient saint Taibok. Although he is a messenger, he is also considered to be a member of the ancient saint.
This rounding up and disguised appearance is equivalent to Darkus being Umak of the Ancient Saint Ichi and one of the Ancient Saints. His appearance is equivalent to the return of the Ancient Saint, but just like Tathagata, the Ancient Saint seems to have become a constellation again. Tathagata... Has he returned? Tathagata...
Out of his playful mentality, Darkus wanted to see what the situation was like. If he could become Umak, then he would be able to deal with the ancient saint of the white-haired Haken. What about Potek's personality? Or it could be another messenger from the ancient saints. He decided to give Haken another day. If the problem is not solved yet, then he will solve it in another way.
Although the Black Ark Fleet has arrived, Malekith's adventure and travel life in Lustria has not ended. Due to the strange politics of Druch society, he does not need to keep a distance from his ministers like those traditional emperors, let alone Go and preside over the Autumn Hunt, let yourself participate in the so-called military, and let the powerful see the so-called military qualities of the empire.
On the contrary, Malekith can sit in the dark throne all the time without summoning any dignitaries. He can kill any Druch without restraint. It just depends on whether he wants to do so or not. It all depends on his thoughts.
With the arrival of the lizards and Druki, the new meat and the dead in the Horrible Manor disappeared. The steward nicknamed the Border Governor and spoke with a Rick's upper-class accent was even missing. , maybe it disappeared in the catastrophe-level mystical cracking of that day? There were only severely stunted crops in the fields, withered and rotten apples in the orchards, and livestock that were almost reduced to skeletons in the barns.
The Druchi dignitaries who accompanied Darkus and Malekith to visit the Horrible Manor did not focus on the dilapidated manor that looked like a horrific cemetery. They focused on the horse. Rekis put the strange long sword on his shoulder. The powerful people with family background have recognized the sword, and the powerful people without family background have also recognized the sword, because Druchi society also has statues and murals of Aenarion, and the back of Sovereign even has Ainar. Rayon's Dragon Slaying Picture.
After the Druchi dignitaries quietly asked Druchi, who had been accompanying Malekith for the past two months, they finally got the answer.
As Darkus expected, the Druchi dignitaries were very aware of the political significance of Malekith's acquisition of the Sun Flame Sword. However, after Malekith experienced several psychological changes, no one showed up and said nothing. Everyone should listen to my words! Then he assumes his classic apparition pose.
However, these Druchi dignitaries who are good at figuring out people's hearts still found an opportunity to flatter them. After receiving Malekith's personal confirmation, Malekith was so happy that he paid tribute like a tsunami. Gotta laugh out loud.
Another day passed, and Darkus, who had nothing to visit or stay, decided to end it all. The gold and gems plundered from New Baker Port and Black Castle were loaded onto the Black Ark one after another, and the remaining three hundred living people in the city passed by. After careful screening, after confirming that there were no vampires, they were successively transferred to the Black Ark through the plunder ship.
These living people include Norscan barbarians, humans from Bretonnia, southern city-states, the Empire and Arabi, as well as single-digit dwarves, but there are no elves.
Dastan Lengyan privately found Darkus and told him that after the Black Ark Fleet moved to the designated location, it searched for Asul's Eagle Ship in the southern sea, and the Eagle Ship also discovered the Black Ark Fleet, but No contact occurred between the two.
Darkus nodded to indicate that he understood. He guessed that the eagle ship was probably a patrol ship from the Twilight Fortress at the southern end of the Lustria continent. However, he did not expect that the patrol ship would come so far. Those who were far away had already noticed the arrival of Druch, and those who were far away came to the coast of Huta.
With the completion of the transfer, New Baker Port was completely empty. The Harkon Temple in the city was empty. The renegade Priestess of Chengmor who was about to turn into a ghoul was nowhere to be found, and there was no trace of the Gravesend Tavern. customers and barmaids.
New Baker Port disappeared. This filthy city that had existed for a thousand years was wiped out by the Slann magic priests. Although the strategic location here is very important, for many reasons, Darkus did not choose to keep this city. Come down.
There are many reasons. Corrosion is not a problem and can be purified. The most important one is the relationship between Druch and the lizard people. Deep into the Kuweizha River is the lizard people's temple city of Starlight City and Astoro. He didn't want to cause conflicts between the two races because of some Druchi's recklessness while he was away. Moreover, at his suggestion, Mazdamudi also used magic to create countless reefs in the Sargassum, and later placed a shrine to set up a mist.
The personality of the ancient saint never appeared in Haken's body. Darkus, who was impatient to wait, was ready to end it all. He had promised the personality of Wilhelmina, and even if he had not promised, he was not prepared to kill Haken at all. Ken, he always believed in being kind as a druch! There's no better fun than going back to the beginning with a vampire pirate.
Before setting off from Naggaroth, Darkus prepared a gift for Harken, an obsidian coffin! And now there is another reason, a gift dedicated to the Lord of the Abyss, Marcelan.
"The sea, coffins, pirates, sacrifices, so many elements! All working together! I'm so talented!" Darkus muttered as he looked at Haken who was forced into the coffin.
After being processed and sealed by the sorceresses, the obsidian coffin sealing Luther Harken was thrown into the sea with Darkus' fake wave goodbye.
Maybe one day, Haken will have someone fish him out in a special way? As for floating to the Burial Ship Cemetery to find Count Noctilus, it is simply overthinking. This problem was taken into consideration before the obsidian coffin was designed. Its weight will only sink into the sea. Obsidian is also resistant to magic. Besides, now Haken no longer has the ability to cast spells, and the reason why the Ship Burial Cemetery is called that, rather than the garbage dump, is because the sentient vortex in the center of the Ship Burial Cemetery can pull huge sea ships into it. In the belly, unless the obsidian coffin was swallowed whole by a sea monster, what is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea?
But it doesn’t matter. The reason why Darkus wanted to kill Haken was because Haken blocked his way. He is an immortal species. If Haken comes back to life one day and moves to another place, he will not attack Haken, unless Haken Ken blocks his way again... (End of chapter)
