Darkus did not wear a pointed helmet. At over 1.9 meters tall, he looked tall, slender, and well-proportioned. He had an outstanding temperament and a certain kind of indescribable demeanor. The upper body is wearing the ordinary Druchi armor that he has been wearing since he came to this world, the lower body is wearing the armor and leg armor with the same history, and the feet are wearing a pair of shining boots without any shoe armor. He held the Trident of the Sea in his right hand and leaned on the ground, while his left hand was placed on the top of the hilt of the scarlet sword. Renn followed behind him holding the banner and scepter of the Hell Calamity Family.
The Enils from the Sun Zone and the Shower Zone looked at Druchi who was walking towards them with appraising eyes. The warriors knew that this Druchi was extraordinary in martial arts, while the spellcasters focused their attention on Druchi. On various magic items on Qi's body. After a while, they made way for a passage that allowed Druchi to lead to Queen Marest, but the strange thing was that their Queen Marest was not waiting there, but walked out slowly. .
Darkus, who held his head high, stood in an appropriate position, not close to nor far from the entrance of the passage, watching the queen who ruled Lauren Loren slowly walk out.
Queen Marest wears exquisite headdresses and jewelry, as well as exquisite silk robes, which show her elegance and luxury without being vulgar. As the queen who rules this forest and the priest of Isha, she does not need to dress up in a fancy way. There is no need to show off like a peacock.
When Darkus saw Queen Lauren Loren, his first impression was that she was not good-looking, with her typical inverted triangular eyes and pointed chin. Maybe his aesthetic level was raised by watching Drusala every day, and Drusala But the existence that Assati is jealous of is the benchmark for the appearance of elves! Although her appearance is not good, Queen Lauren Loren has a superior noble temperament as a superior, and at the same time she has an arrogant and haggard look.
"Look, the strange tricks of the elf." Bajir said in a joking tone to the ancient tree man and dragon lizard standing there, and Sklaw lying on the ground.
"I'm sorry, before I introduce myself, I have to explain myself first." Darkus used his classic apologetic opening style. He couldn't learn Malekith's style, and he thought that his own style first suppressed Hou Yang is quite good, at least for now. In the puzzled eyes of Queen Marist, he continued, "I just expelled a powerful bird at close range with the cooperation of all my companions." No less than the Chaos Demon in Nakari..."
"It seems that I won the bet. I guessed it right, right? He will definitely say that! Sorry... Oh... Sorry..." Leading Druchi in formation Maranur, who did not attend the meeting, said with a smile and imitated it after speaking.
Before Darkus could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the uproar of the Enils. Although Kaia witnessed everything that had just happened as a witness, he came back before he could elaborate.
Although the Aenir live in Lauren Loren, they have inheritance. The legend of Aenarion is not only spread among the Assur of Ulthuan and the Drukki of Naggaroth. There are also rumors about Aenir of Loren and Asrai of Athel Loren. Bards will sing at festivals. Families with close family ties have more or less some connection with Aenarion. Of course they know The terror of the Chaos Demon is even greater than the terror of Nakali.
Queen Marest frowned. As a bloodline of Aenarion, she certainly knew Nakari, because her bloodline came from the first Phoenix King Aenarion and the Eternal Queen Astarielle. Eldest son Morellion. Astarielle was even killed by Nakari. There was no reason for her not to know Nakari. As the ruler of Lauren Loren, she also knew what was sealed in the golden pool, but...
"No less than Nakari? What evidence do you have?"
Before Queen Marist could ask anything, someone following behind her A female, Enil, asked first.
"Because it's called Sharashi Demonic Disaster! There is a huge gap in strength between it and the Keeper of Secrets that my fiancée exiled in the Hawkheath Wilderness. Maybe you don't know about it. It is specially used to hunt other Chaos Demons. existence, so..." Darkus showed a generous and kind smile, as if like an old father, he found that the content of the conversation was a little off track, but he didn't care, he said with a smile, he said it to the end He lengthened his tone but did not say the last sentence.
However, this group of Enils did not follow Darkus's train of thought, but began to think. The sudden change did not catch him off guard, because his words guided a 50-50 split. If any Enil pressed When asked about his thoughts, he would say that he could go to Slaanesh to confirm. Of course, there is another situation, which is like this. The group of Enils thought about it and did not give him a chance to choke.
"If you often kill the Great Demon of Slaanesh, you will know that the Great Demon will emit a strange smell. If you inhale too much..." Seeing that the Aenir did not answer his words, Darkus continued. He said it neither arrogant nor humble.
Perhaps it was because what Darkus said was too pretentious, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Often? It sounds like you often fight the Chaos Demon." A male Enil said angrily.
"Yes, the first time I fought against the Keeper of Secrets was when I was sixteen during the Twilight Tide. The first time I killed the Demon Prince of Slaanesh was in the desert of Lustria, when I was eighteen. Years old, my second and third kills were in Grond in Naggaroth. I killed a Prince of Slaanesh and a Daemon of Tzeentch in one day. The Shadow Moment just now was my fourth. Kill the Great Demon of Slaanesh for the first time."
Darkus knew that the male Aenir should be a lord or the champion of Queen Lauren Loren. Perhaps he mentioned before that he had a fiancée, otherwise The scene at this moment will be even more violent. But now it's not his fault. He originally didn't want to show off, but he couldn't handle being handed a ladder. Now that it's over, he can only reluctantly introduce his past experiences.
Although the Druchi were on the other side of the golden pool, they could clearly hear Darkus's words. At this moment, even the seriously injured men lying on the chariot laughed.
"Are you good at fighting?"
"Are you okay? Not long ago, I killed a Chaos God's Chosen, Ulfric from the Noscasari tribe in the north, and I killed a two-man warrior on Albion Island. The ten-meter-tall chaos giant, as for the giant-horned bull and the orc warlord, are not worth mentioning, and the others are even less worth mentioning." Darkus was neither slow nor slow, neither impatient nor impatient. As he spoke, he seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. There was no arrogance in his tone, only sincerity!
Darkus was now sure that Enil, who was asking a bit rudely, was the champion of Queen Lauren Loren, otherwise there would not have been such a big reaction, and Kaia had complained to him about this existence before. There is only a small chance that he is the ruler of the Shower Area, because as Talos's father and the leader of Enir who participated in the battle before, there is no reason not to have a relationship with him, but to choke with him here.
Kaia, who was standing in the middle and listening to Darkus' story, frowned and closed her eyes, covering her face with her hands. At this moment, she didn't mind the smell of her hands anymore.
Bagir was different. As a forest dragon, he didn't need this or that. He laughed loudly after listening to Darkus' story. In his opinion, the story Darkus was telling now But it was much more interesting than before, especially the sincere tone and confused expression on Darkos's account.
However, the Drukis did not laugh with the forest dragon this time. They knew that it was time for diplomacy. They knew that the group of Enils had reached their limit. Following the forest dragon's laughter would have additional effects on the subsequent diplomacy.
"You! You! I want..."
At this time, Ren, who was following Darkus, took a step forward again, holding the hilt of the Blade of Reality with his left hand that was not holding the flag, staring at the slightly gaffe Ai Neil. In his opinion, if he can't defeat the Great Demon of Slaanesh, he can't defeat you? And in his opinion, his noble master cannot fight directly with those Enils, at least he has to pass the barrier between him and his brother.
"That's enough!" Queen Marist turned around and scolded. The difference between the elves and the elves would make the elves mad. She just said what she said was not enough to disgrace the elves. After scolding, she looked at Darkus and signaled to continue. .
"What did I want to say just now?" When Darkus said this, he let go of his left hand on the hilt of the sword and rubbed his head. After a moment, he showed a stunned expression and continued, "By the way, I remembered, If you inhale too much of that strange smell, it will produce a kind of chaotic corrosion. My current mental and emotional fluctuations are greatly affected. I hope the noble Queen Lauren Loren will not mind." "
I don't mind, on the contrary, I want to Thank you for saving Lauren Loren and the Golden Pool." Queen Marist looked at the elf in front of her speechlessly, then she said with a standard smile.
"Introducing myself, I am Darkus Helban from Naggaroth, Chief Consul of Druchi, Champion of the Lord of the Abyss, Marcelan and the Seerweaver, and Mora'ig Horg. The god of deceit, Loic and the Lord of Blades, the divine choice of Azered."
"Chosen by the four gods? How is this possible? This is impossible!"
Amid Enil's uproar and shock, Lauren Queen Loren's champion asked again.
This time Darkus did not answer, but looked at Queen Lauren with a confused expression. He never expected that he had been in this world for so long, and he finally met the so-called Ping Nie. Finally got a taste of the so-called pretending to be slapped in the face.
Queen Marist also had a surprised expression on her face, but it was more of a sullen look. She didn't say anything, but turned her head to look at her champion.
"Queen Marest, what he said is true. On the spring equinox, Isa's incarnation and I witnessed Marcelan's will on the Tower of Theathil. Isa said that he represented hope, and he waved his hand. It destroyed the Norscan fleet. As a believer of Marcelan, I can clearly feel the will of Marcelan on the trident.
Loic danced with him during the carnival time of the Spring Equinox, at the Fountain of Guests Lilith appeared on the lake to warn of the crisis. At that time, the incarnation of Morayig Heg fell on his shoulders. In addition to him, there were at least three Edreze Divine Chosen and one among the group of Druchi. The Chosen God of Hecate and a dual Chosen God of Hecate and Assati."
At this time, Kaia stood up. As a witness of various miracles, she tried to get this diplomacy back on track, instead of what it is now. But she didn't say that she had become the incarnation of Stormweaver. Could such a shameful thing be said in public? Then isn't she a teenager? This made her already embarrassed even more embarrassed.
"It seems that after many years, the Helban family is ready to return to Elsin Alvin again." Queen Marist made a joke to try to ease the current atmosphere, and then she sighed, "It's a pity that things have long been gone. Human beings are different, but it’s a pity that Athel Tallarion..."
"Yes, but more because the God of Forging, Val, invited me to go to Athel Loren to meet with his incarnation." Darkus discovered that the group of AI Neil really liked this trick. After all, these Enils were also elves in nature. There were very few elves who didn't like this trick. He directly raised the stakes and raised another one.
"I didn't expect that the Helban family would have another character besides Alandrian and Heliben." Queen Marist said with a smile. Her heart was complicated at this moment. As Elsa's divine choice, of course she knew The weight of the divine choice and champion status of the predecessor Druch, and at the same time as a ruler, she also knew what it meant to be the chief executive of Druch and the Herban family.
In Marest's impression, the Helbane family had always been loyal followers of her relative Malekith. In the early days of the Great Schism, the Helbane family stayed in Esso Talarian. How did she know? Of course she knew, because Tal Litanel and Cole Imamoor in Lauren Loren were very close to Esso Talarian, and they even sent troops to surround Esso Talarian at that time. , she knew how Helene treated the captured soldiers. As for the identity of the Chief Consul of Darkus Druch, she wanted to ask whether Malekith was dead, but she never asked this question. After all, it could not be said on such an occasion.
"Excuse me." Darkus first nodded and saluted Queen Marist, then turned his head to look at Jinchi and then turned to look at Queen Marist.
"I am Queen Marist, Ruler of Lauren Loren, Chosen of Isha. As Ruler of Lauren Loren, I invite you to be a guest in Tal Litanel." "
It would be an honor, But..." Darkus nodded again, and at the same time performed the etiquette that only the elf nobles would use. After Marist's expression turned into questioning and curiosity, he continued, "Before departure, allow me to do two more things. Something."
"Oh?"
"I also have another identity. I am Umak of the Ancient Saint Iqi. In layman's terms, I am the messenger of the Ancient Saint, and he is the oracle of the Ancient Saint Huangqi." Dake When Us introduced his other identity, he also did not forget to introduce Renn beside him.
This time Queen Marist was finally shocked. She knew that he was the Ancient Saint, and she also knew the purpose of her ancestors coming to this forest. As an insider, she knew that Tal Litanel and Cole Yi What is there below Mamor? Some cities were built with a certain purpose, and there are ruins and nodes of the ancient saints below these two cities. What surprised her was that an elf was actually connected to the Ancient Saint, and there were two of them.
"They are waiting for the energy in the golden pool to return to normal, and dedicate it to Kukulkan!" Before Marist could react, Darkus pointed his left hand at the golden pool first, and then pointed at the three forest wills.
"Kukulkan?" Queen Marist asked with a frown.
"Yes, Kukulkan, a holy being! Perhaps today is a great moment, and that holy being will descend to the world under our watchful eyes!" "What do we need to do?" "
Protect the site, it's best. ..." Darkus paused before he finished speaking. He saw a masked Enil war dancer walking out of the group of Enils. He might have seen too many incarnations of the Elf God. Knowing the reason, he knew at first glance that this war dancer was extraordinary, especially the war dancer's bright amber eyes, with crystal silver spots that were constantly flashing, containing great sadness, and at the same time... hope. . This is definitely not an ordinary war dancer, but the incarnation of someone. He soon thought...
"You are right, Darkus, this is indeed a sacred existence. I can feel that it is about to come. , I will preside over the ceremony." The Enil War Dancer said. Before Darkus could say anything, she continued, "Can you promise me one thing?"
At this time, Queen Marist lowered her head. The noble head, as Isha's divine choice, of course knew who the war dancer in front of her was. Although she still had many questions about Jinchi in her heart, it was no longer important at the moment.
"Dear Isa, please tell me." Darkus nodded again. He felt that this was the day he nodded the most, but he didn't care about this. He only cared about something practical and useful, not these fake tricks. This is all normal elven diplomatic etiquette.
"No, let it..." Isa's incarnation paused at the end and shook her head.
Darkus nodded. He didn't ask. He could probably guess what Isa was going to say, but what surprised him was that Isa didn't say this. It seemed that the responsibilities of these elven gods were very clear. Sarah is the Mother Goddess, not the Virgin.
"Let's start preparing for the ceremony." Isha's incarnation said after seeing the three forest wills nodding to her.
At this time, the large troops from Hawkheath Wilderness also arrived, and began to stand in categories according to their camps and identities. Darkus looked around the golden pool, which had become crowded. He saw many elves, but he did not see the tower. Los and the dead protector of Golden Pool, his heart was complicated at this moment, but he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, Darkos didn't understand. He didn't understand what was the reason, whether Enil's inheritance was broken, or whether it was the number and the vastness of the forest that allowed the protector of the Golden Pond to guard the Golden Pond for so long. Although his companions died in the battle because of the protector of the golden pool, he did not blame the protector of the golden pool. This was a dead end. Maybe if he hadn't come, things would have developed in another direction, such as a better direction. ? Not like this now.
Instead, Darkus wanted to find out why Enil didn't have a rotation or replacement mechanism to allow the Golden Pond Protector to protect the Golden Pond for so long. Or was it that the Golden Pond Protector had an emotional defect or was too weak?
Soon, Darkus figured out the reason, because there were very few spellcasters among the Aenir who came, and he had even seen a few of them in the wilderness.
"The spellcasters over there are all weak. Except for the queen, I haven't seen any other high-level spellcasters. If necessary, Alyssa can deal with them all in one meeting." Drusa stood next to Dacus Ra whispered.
"No wonder." Darkus sighed, and soon he thought of something else. Maybe Lauren Loren, the garden of the ancient saint, is too magical. There are too many places that need to be guarded and invested, and due to the limitations of the population, Because of their gender, spellcasters are rare. Elves are magic-friendly, but that doesn't mean that every elf can become a spellcaster. It still depends on talent.
A ray of sunshine shone on the open space of Jinchi. The eyes of the elves were full of expectation or confusion. The Druchi knew what was about to happen, while the Enils were confused and puzzled. They added more Much attention was paid to the avatar of Isa and Queen Marist by the pool.
However, the ceremony was being prepared, but it did not start immediately. The incarnation of Isha called Alyssa to her side. She behaved like an elegant elf girl, both beautiful and full of life.
"The reason why I am here to talk to you is because I feel your love, your awe, and your deep affection for nature."
"Mercy Isa, I am only fulfilling my responsibility to maintain nature. In balance with the elves, your presence has always been my inspiration and motivation." Alyssa lowered her head and said falsely. She didn't know what Isa was asking her to come over, but she knew how to deal with it. Just like Hanil Hara, she and her brothers were not qualified to enter the hall of Night Governor Castle and could only harm themselves outside, but it did not mean that she did not know what to say if she entered the hall.
"Your faith is no longer just faith, it is a contract, a spiritual connection. Now, I invite you to become my priest, come closer to me, and understand the mysteries of nature more deeply. I believe that in the near future, you He will become a pious, wise, and kind being."
Alyssa was a little confused. Didn't she agree to hold a ceremony about Kukulkan? She doesn't mind the name, and the name has been discussed and discussed a long time ago, just like what the boy is called, what the girl is called, what species is called, as long as that being relies on her and can become her support and strength, the name She didn't mind anything.
But why did it get involved with her, and depending on what Isa meant... Alyssa turned her head and looked at the other side of the golden pool. After seeing Darkus nodding to her and extending his thumb, she became determined, As a Drukki sorceress, she knew Hecate's nature and what Hecate was taboo about. Hecate would not suggest that her divine choice should become Isa's divine choice. Besides, there was also a Hecate beside her. The outrageous existence of being the double chosen god of Assati.
From Darkus' point of view...this is a good thing! Agriculture in the Kauchen Plain is a big problem, and it must be managed by someone who can reassure him and be reliable, and Alyssa is suitable to manage the Emerald Garden Organization. Alyssa will become Isa's priest and divine supporter. Okay, otherwise I can't become the priest of Leya and Salia, that's for humans.
"Come closer to me and you will become a wise man and a guide, maintaining the natural order. In this process, you will no longer be alone, because I will be with you." "I
accept your invitation with humility and gratitude , I will do my best to spread your compassion and wisdom."
Under the witness of the elves and the will of the forest, and under the singing of God and the believers with quotation marks, Alyssa became Isha's priest and divine choice. Until Isha put her hand on her forehead, Alyssa was still a little confused. As the goddess of magic and Hecate's choice, how could she become Isha's choice?
Next, the First Ascension Ceremony began, the open space by the pool was cleared and carefully paved, and elven runes were drawn on the ground.
The avatar of Isa soared in mid-air, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her amber eyes shining with kindness, and her presence seemed to blend into every corner of the forest.
As Isa waved her hands, the will of the forest began to respond. In the distance, the leaves of the trees and the wall of thorns swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were singing the coming of this moment.
The sorceresses from Druchi of Naggaroth, the Storm Spellweaver Priests of Ulthuan, and the Spellweavers and Spellsingers of Lauren Loren surrounded the golden pool, following Isha as she chanted ancient elven spells for Ritual infuses more power. Their voices are like clear streams or the sound of wind blowing through the treetops, condensing the atmosphere of the ceremony in the air.
At the same time, dragon lizards, forest dragons and ancient tree men also joined the ceremony as the will of the forest. They either raised their hands or opened their huge mouths. As he said before, Bajir passed his essence through His huge mouth spurted out, and it continued continuously, as if the essence of drawing was gathering almost materially in the air.
On the periphery of the First Ascension Ceremony, other elves were either watching quietly or singing along. At this moment, whether it was Druch or Enil, their eyes were full of respect and hope.
The egg of Quanguo held in Alyssa's hand was affected by the energy in the golden pond. As the geyser of Jinchi rose again, the egg of Quanguo also floated into the air. The giant eagles that could still fly were in Quanguo. The eggs were flying and screaming around.
As the Fountain Egg rises, the height of the Golden Pond Geyser gradually decreases.
Darkus, who was watching the ceremony and on guard at the same time, could clearly feel that the energy in the golden pool was being continuously injected into the egg of Quanguo through the ceremony. He couldn't help but think about what ancient saint's creation was underneath the golden pool. Yes, it was the ancient saint. Creation, otherwise there is no way to explain why the nodes above were broken, and why the wind of Gu Er and Ji Lun in the golden pond was so strong. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and he felt something again, as if guided by the will of the forest, The whole Lauren Loren is alive, or in other words, Lauren Loren with this kind of soul and thought is alive, just like the Gaia mother mentioned by some people in his previous life. As the forest comes to life, Agil's The wind is coming too.
The First Ascension Ceremony is still going on. The energy in the golden pool and the energy in the forest are continuously injected into the egg of the spring fruit. The chanting of the elf caster gradually reaches a climax from the previous dullness.
As the singing reached its climax, Darkus could clearly hear the words of Isha's incarnation. His voice was like the singing of birds in the morning and the singing of the forest.
"In this sacred land, we will witness the birth of new life. Kukulkan, you will become the hope and strength of this world. May you be full of wisdom and courage, may you live in harmony with nature, may your existence Bring life to this world."
With the end of Isha's incarnation words, the rising ceremony reached its peak. A bright and gentle light rose from the golden pool, and then exploded violently, covering all the elves and the will of the forest, and soon The wounds on their bodies were almost healed, and at the same time their hearts seemed to be healed. Darkus felt that his heart had returned to peace. He felt that if he closed his eyes now, he would have a beautiful sleep.
Even the seriously injured Sklaw has regrown the bones and feather membranes on his wings. The wounds left by the dragon lizard's previous battle with Shalaxi have become intact. Even the ancient tree people who have been washed away by the years have old trees. The feeling of blooming.
The Quanguo egg in mid-air gradually cracked, and at this moment Kukulkan came to the world! The spirit of Taebok has arrived! A sacred feathered serpent has arrived!
As the First Ascension Ceremony ended, the elves cheered, and the core Druchi cheered because the egg they had been with for nearly ten years had finally hatched. It didn't matter what it was, it had nothing to do with them anyway. Others, Druchi, cheered because their bet was completed. Although some of the gamblers had died in the battle, and although none of them guessed correctly what was in the egg, it did not prevent them from cheering at this moment.
The Enils also didn't care what was in the egg. Their hearts were filled with joy and hope because they saw the incarnation of Isha and witnessed the ceremony headed by Isha. Isha in Lauren Loren is extremely influential.
Even the Eye of Tebok on Darkos's neck floated, and it seemed that Master Ma in Lustria had also noticed Kukulkan's arrival.
The born Kukulkan flapped its wings and soared with the giant eagles for a moment. Although it was a feathered serpent, it was not a snake. As a sacred being, it was not afraid of the giant eagles flying around it. After flying for a moment, it looked Taking a look at the Eye of Tebok on Darkos's chest, that ornament gave it a familiar feel. But what made it more familiar was an elf staring closely at it. It could feel the tension, anxiety and excitement in the elf's heart, and it flew directly to the elf's side without hesitation.
Kukulkan, whose wings and tail were less than one meter apart, was tangled and played with Alyssa's outstretched hand. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief and showed a maternal smile to accompany Kukulkan. Kan played, teasing Kukulkan's vomiting nobuko with his hands.
Darkus, who was smiling happily, heard the sound coming from far away. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the ancient tree man walking away with heavy steps, and Scraw was like a free-roaming chicken. He also climbed up from the ground and began to walk slowly, then let out a long chirp and left in the direction where the ancient tree man left.
The dragon lizard still stood there like a stone statue, seemingly agreeing to Darkus' previous suggestion, while the forest dragon Bagir looked at him with a strange look, seeming to signal him to come over.
Darkus had no choice but to give the dragon face, and he walked over with a smile on his face.
"It said it owed you a favor." Bagir tilted his head in the direction that Scraw left and said with a smile. Then he turned his head and continued, "Little guy, now you owe me a favor. According to what I said before, As you said, I gave my essence to the newly born little guy."
Darkus smiled and nodded again, acknowledging Bajir's words in disguise.
"I have to go back, otherwise those annoying little guys will pester me again. If you continue to go south, you can visit me in my lair and I will entertain you as much as you want. If your story is as interesting as your experience , I can also tell you some...information you are interested in."
After Bajir said that, he ejected and flew away. Darkus stretched out his hand to block the teasing airflow, and waited for Bajir to disappear from his sight. Only then did he remember, something seemed wrong?
"You asked me to be a guest, but you didn't tell me the location."
