Chapter 332 182. They are all. The ship
Asuldacus is on is similar to the plunder ship. The hull is slender and smooth, and it is also equipped with three masts. But there is a huge eagle head carved on the bow, and there is an eagle claw ballista at the stern and bow.
The trade wind filled the elven ship's unique gaff sail, and the Asur Falcon ship swept across the sea as fast as flying. The green flag embroidered with the family logo fluttered randomly in the wind. The sailors jumped from one mast to another and crawled on the ropes in response to the captain's orders.
For Darkus, maybe because of the perception and situation, everything is so fresh and interesting. After the coming-of-age ceremony, he had not walked on the sea in this way for a long time. Unlike before, when he was hesitant and full of worries about the future, he seemed to like everything about life on the ship after having a bunch of titles. He liked the feeling of walking on the hard deck boards and the unique salty smell of the sea.
Darkus was lying on the deck railing of the falcon ship, staring at the hunting seabirds. A school of flying fish jumped out of the nearby water, their scales shining silver in the sun, and then disappeared into the turbulent waves. This made him laugh. After laughing, he found that he was in a good state of mind. Being able to laugh showed that he still loved life. He put his hand on his forehead and glanced into the distance. A huge thing moves quickly in the clear water, maybe a whale, maybe a legendary sea monster?
"That's the Wilshark." Belloda, who came over, glanced in that direction and said to Darkus.
Darkus nodded. He knew that the Wyer Shark, with its big mouth full of giant teeth, could swallow five people at the same time, and was at the same level as the Megalodon War Shark.
"Don't you think about going back? It seems that such a distance is not difficult for you." Darkus did not look back, but continued to look at the sea and said.
It's okay that Darkus didn't say this, but once he said it, it ignited the anger that had been pent up in Belloda's heart for a long time.
"Go back? How can I go back? What have you done?"
Belloda's question attracted the malicious eyes of the Druchi on the ship. Drusala, who was sitting there writing and drawing, raised his head. Staring at Belloda, the three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family and the Adreze believers who were working as sailors also stopped what they were doing and looked at Belloda.
"Don't be so irritable, my dear Ms. Belloda. That's not good for your health. Do you really not consider my advice? When I was in Bretonnia, a vampire lady followed my advice and jumped from the ship. I swam to the shore in the sea, and I don’t know how she is now. I even miss her a little." Darkus continued teasingly, and when he thought of something, he continued, "Or you can contact Ulthuan and let her They sent out a fleet of dragon ships to intercept us, and then you cooperated inside and outside. I believe you can make up for it?"
"Dear Marcelan Champion, your joke is not funny." Belloda imitated Darkus's appearance. Lying down next to the fence where Darkus was, he said angrily.
Darkus didn't say anything but laughed. He knew that Ulthuan would not listen to someone who was labeled a "traitor" and moved the dragon ship fleet to attack them, even though he was now very close to Ulthuan. , it can be said that it is in the waters of Ulthuan.
Darkus also saw some islands a few kilometers away, but the strange thing was that sometimes they were seen there, and sometimes they disappeared inexplicably. As far as he could see, there was a faint curtain of light covering the ocean. It looks a bit like heat haze, but it's definitely not. In his eyes, the thing looked magical. He knew it was magic, but he couldn't describe what it felt like.
"What you just saw is one of the most powerful and far-reaching magics in the world. Phoenix King Bel Hathor and his mages used this magic to hide Ulthuan. Believe me, if you are a Alien sailors heading to Ulthuan must be a thousand times more confused than they are now. When others try to enter this magical barrier, they lose their way and are surrounded by a maze of spells. Eventually, If they didn't starve to death or get stranded, they would be surprised to find that they were back where they started."
"Are you among those mages?" Darkus asked with interest.
"Yes!" Belloda straightened his back and said proudly.
"Perhaps this is why you are on this ship to the old world now." Darkus nodded and said.
"I have never understood the reason why you go to such trouble. Are you really going to let me serve as the high priest of the great temple that doesn't even have a foundation now?" "
Otherwise? I once prayed to the Lord of the Abyss, and he told me You are very good, and you have been watched by Him for a long time." Darkus asked rhetorically first, and then affirmed.
"Really?" Belloda asked in disbelief. Although her colleagues who believed in the Lord of the Abyss before thought that she was blessed by the Lord of the Abyss, she knew that she was not.
"Of course it's a lie, I'm just talking casually." This sentence was only spoken in Darkos's heart. He showed an unpredictable smile and turned his gaze from the sea to Belloda and said, "Yes If it's true or not, you can ask the Lord of the Abyss?"
In this world, gods and faith really exist, not illusory things, and Darkus discovered that there is something special about the elves who believe in Marcelan...
"Dear Ms. Belloda, you have to know that you are very important." Darkus ignored the stunned Belloda and continued.
"For example?"
Beloda asked suspiciously after she came back to her senses. This was exactly what confused her. She still didn't understand why the weird Druch in front of her went to such trouble to do this. What? Moreover, she did not suffer terrible humiliation or abuse that was worse than death. The other Druchi looked at her with malice in their eyes, but the Druchi who stood in front of them never did anything to her.
"As far as I know, Finubal is wandering around the old world right now." "What are you going to do?" When Finubal was mentioned, Belloda's expression immediately changed.
"Of course I have to make a friend, otherwise? I don't like to fight and kill, I like to make some friends, and what you have to do now is to prevent us from making unnecessary mistakes when we meet Finubar in the old world. Conflicts, such as fighting when they meet, and play a coordination role." Darkus's lying body stood up, he spread his hands and looked at Belloda with an innocent face and said.
Belloda stared at Darkus in stunned silence. She was confused by Darkus' words. Although she could understand every word that Darkus said, the combination was so strange and strange. absurd.
"After your journey to the old world is over, you can follow Finubar back to Ulthuan, or you can follow me back to Chapeiuto to serve as the high priest of the Storm Weaver Order." Darkus finished speaking. Ignore Belloda again and walk towards Drusala and Genevieve.
"Wait." Belloda tried to call out to Darkus.
"There is no need to rush, the journey is still long, my lady." But Darkus did not look back, but continued.
The place where Darkus is now is the Drifting Islands on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Iris. As Belloda said, terrible and powerful magic has been applied here. The purpose of his coming here is to see What does the Temple of Marcelan look like here, then continue sailing north to the Old World.
As a result, Darkos was greatly disappointed with the Matheran Temple here. Its scale was not as large as the one in the Sea of Resentment in Naggaroth, but he could also understand that Asul, who was also an elf, was also very naughty.
Although Marcelan is the Lord of the Abyss, in charge of the sea, and is believed by the people of the Kingdom of Irian, Yris, and Cosquei who are good at going to the sea, he is after all an underground god. Ulthuan society expressly prohibits belief in underground gods, but because of Due to Marcelan's special nature and the size of its followers, one can only turn a blind eye... which is very embarrassing.
As for the ship at the feet of Darkus, it is very particular. He took it from the Twilight Fortress. There are three falcon ships in total. Under the influence of Ulthuan's Drukhi spies, the traditionalists naturally found an excuse to attack the sea-opening faction. Three falcon ships from the Twilight Fortress were ordered by the Phoenix King of Ulthuan to investigate those suspected of colluding with Drukki. Belodar escorted him back to Ulthuan.
Therefore, these three falcon ships were naturally intercepted in the waters of the Serpent Islands. Darkus did not make it difficult for the Assur sailors. Instead, he brought his Ummak guards and the Lustrian beast army He went to Twilight Fortress on foot. He had a warm and friendly exchange with Sigelin, the supreme commander who came out of Twilight Fortress. It was nothing more than that the Black Ark Fleet would pass through here next, and he did not recommend Twilight. The fortress will later launch attacks and raids on the Cawchen Plain, or provide supplies to Ulthuan adventurers who come here to gain fame.
As a symbol of sincerity and friendship, Darkus returned the Assur sailors and soldiers to the Twilight Fortress intact, but he smiled and accepted the three falcon ships and the pure-blooded elven horses that could fight on the deck. He's still wearing his classic skin, but the Drukki around him have a different look.
As a family from the former Kingdom of Charis, Takaia's brothers still changed into the white lion guards' attire even though their family had issues with the white lion guards.
The sorceresses did not show off their fiery figures, but wore traditional elven robes, covering themselves tightly, looking like the great wizards of Asul.
The Druchi dignitaries who followed Darkus put on the attire of the Silver Helmet Knight. What was interesting was that they started arguing about the Silver Helmet Knight's helmet. Like Druchi's pointed helmet, the Silver Helmet Knight wore it. There are also many sayings about the helmet, and there is also a unique name "Isetarn" in the Elvish language. Only those Asur nobles who serve in the Silver Helm Knights have the right to wear it, otherwise it will be regarded as inappropriate. The act of etiquette.
Unlike the hook blades worn by the Druchi Cold Lizard Dread Knights in various places on their armor to symbolize honor, a Silver Helmet knight's resume will increase with his service time and the decoration on his helmet.
If a Silver Helmet knight shows extraordinary courage in battle or knocks down a dangerous enemy, there will be an extra ribbon on his helmet that flutters in the wind while riding. If a Chaos Daemon is slain in battle, a ruby-embellished sigil of the Burning Sun will appear on the helmet. There is an ornament for almost every imaginable military exploit, and long-serving knights with long service often have impressive ornate helmets.
But this is just decoration, just like the decoration on Druchi's pointed helmet, just like the half-moon blade decoration on Druchi's pointed helmet, only those silver-helmet knights who have won the title of "High Helmet" have decorations on their helmets. Eagle Feather Rights.
In gamification terms, this kind of high-helmet knight is a heroic unit. The high-helmet decoration symbolizes that the wearer is a skilled warrior and a charismatic leader. As the highest honor of the Silver Helmet Knight, it also means danger. In battle, the High Helmet Knight has to find leaders or outstanding warriors among the enemies and kill them in a duel.
That is to say, beheading generals...
Bainie has veteran qualifications, so it is natural that his high helmet is decorated with whistles. After a dispute, other Druchi dignitaries also used their past qualifications to add various decorations to their helmets.
Most of the Druchi sailors on the three Falcon ships came from the powerful sons of Krakalond and the Black Ark Nagol, and the son of the Dread Lord Bakron was among them. Of course, they all have a unified identity now, that is, followers of Adreze.
As Edreze's divine choice, Darkus plans to take these carefully selected seeds to Athel Loren in the old world to communicate with those Asrai counterparts.
You still have to sort out what you are good at...
