"This is also a skill..."
Darkus muttered. In his opinion, Bajir's catapult takeoff was full of technicalities. He just didn't know what it would be like when flying in the forest. Could it be like those pterosaurs? So flexible. After that, he suddenly looked back, but the god was dancing with fish and dragon. What surprised him was that Isa was still there and had not disappeared...
"The golden pool has become meaningless now, right?" Darkus looked at it. Dragon Lizard asked.
"No more... There is no need for a protector here anymore." After a moment, the dragon lizard said slowly.
"Okay!" Darkus almost thought that the dragon lizard was down, or was remembering the past years and the former guardian of the golden pond, he nodded and said.
"This is also a skill..." Darkus, who was walking towards the incarnation of Isa, was still muttering. In his opinion, these elves and gods tend to appear at the time they think is appropriate, just like Isa in the shadow moment. It didn't appear, but it appears now. Since the ceremony didn't disappear after the ceremony, there must be other things, such as...talk to him?
"Are you confused?" Isa glanced at Darkus and said with a smile.
"Yes!"
"You should ask Morayig about the protector of the Golden Pool. You can't change the thread of other people's fate every time. When you fall into it and feel confused, bad luck will find you. ."
"I know, thank you for reminding me. Now the souls of two Slann magic priests have been severely damaged. For the sake of this world, I need to heal them." "
You are... complicated. Come to Athel Loren when you have time. You know who to look for."
Darkus nodded and showed proper respect. In his opinion, the matter is almost done. Isha should have a solution. If Isha has no solution or does not solve it, what will happen in this world? It seems that no one can solve it. We can't ask Leya and Thalia for help. Maybe we can also ask Nurgle for help?
As for whom to look for, Darkus knew that if the two second-generation Slann magic priests could be restored to normal, then this trip to the old world would not have been in vain, and it is no longer in vain.
After the incarnation of Isa slowly disappeared under the reflection of the sun, Queen Marist, who finished her salute, looked at Darkus.
"Can't you feel something under the golden pond?" Darkus shrugged and pointed at the golden pond that had turned into a lake. Seeing that Marist was a little confused, he asked.
"Of course I can feel it as an archmage, but... I don't know how to deal with it. Shouldn't these things be placed here?" Queen Marist's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke the words. .
"The reason why these things are put here is for a purpose, but now the purpose is gone. They can be fished out. I need the stone slabs, which are the things of the ancient saints. As for the others..."
Darkus said at the end and directly used the sea The trident was pointed at the Golden Pond. After a while, a vortex formed on the surface of the Golden Pond. As the vortex rotated rapidly, the things under the lake were revealed. His brows wrinkled slightly. He found that the things under the Golden Pond were far greater than he imagined. More.
"This..."
The Drukis who saw the things under the golden pond were also amazed. They had more or less stayed in the Lustria continent and had a certain understanding of it. They found that the things under the golden pond were all related to The lizard people are somehow connected. What caught their attention the most was a set of lizard-style ritual armor decorated with gold and jewels. They were now numb to gold and jewels. Instead, they were curious about who it was for. The quick-thinking Druchi turned his attention to it. He threw himself at the dragon lizard standing there.
There were nine extremely round balls placed on the ceremonial armor, which were as round as the traffic-blocking ball piers beside the road in Darkus's previous life. The stone slabs he needed were piled scatteredly beside it.
Darkus, who had already seen what was under the golden pond, stopped the flow of the vortex, and after a while, the golden pond returned to calm. He probably knows what the things under the golden pool are. The balls are star stones, which are the star stones of Slann Demon Priest Shakespati and the star stones on the star stone flag. The existence of these star stones makes The golden pool is full of energy.
As for the set of ceremonial armor, it is very particular. It may be a creation of the ancient saints, and it should be specially designed for dragon lizards. It is similar to the set of dinosaur lizards. The armor is not just armor, because there is a back door on the armor. The diadem made of gold and dotted with gems is the core of the ceremonial armor. The Slann magic priest can use magic or telepathy to restrain the wearer's wildness and curb the ever-satisfied desire for destruction. When this fighting power is needed, the backdoor on the diadem is activated. The Slann magic priests will chant ancient spells, hold grand ceremonies, and impose their will on the thoughts of the diadem wearer through the diadem.
The defensive power provided by the ritual armor is not worth mentioning. It is just like the robes worn by the lizard people. Of course, the ritual armor actually has more than these functions. According to the normal timeline, Malekith did a big job. He used spells and similar ancient saint creations to drag Nakali, who had been exiled back to the Chaos Demon Realm, back to the mortal world. , and tightly bound Nakari with spells and ancient holy creations. The cold iron chains and bracelets sparkled on Nakari's arms and thighs, and the gems on the ancient holy creations beat with the power of the spell.
Darkus looked at the dragon lizard still standing there and pointed at the golden pond. When the dragon lizard nodded slowly, he knew that this set of ritual armor was indeed prepared by the ancient saint for this dragon lizard at that time.
You don’t need to ask Darkus to guess that with the arrival of the great invasion, the dragon lizards in Lauren Loren used ritual armor and star stones as a medium to trap Sharashi in a non-entity form. , now that Shalashi has been exiled, the ritual armor in the golden pool should also be returned to its original owner.
At the same time, Darkus was wondering about something. If this set of equipment is correct, it should be the same mechanism as the set that restrained the rhinoceros, and...if it could restrain the dinosaur lizard and dragon lizard, the giant dragon should also be restrained. live. But he was just thinking about it. Although Lustria continent had matching stone slabs and technology, after all, this set of equipment was not mandatory and was easy to use against violent creatures such as dinosaur lizards and rhinoceros.
The more intelligent the creature, the more resistant it is to this equipment. I wonder if the dragon lizard can take it off and put it in the golden pond. So... Darkos's thoughts should not be established, and it should be particularly troublesome to use. After all, it requires history. Only those at the level of the Orchid Demon Priest can activate the equipment. It would be a bit difficult for a fear lord to do it.
After determining the location of the stone slabs, several stone slabs were pushed to the shore driven by the almost substantial current.
"How many of those stones do you need?" Darkus knelt down and looked at it. After looking for a moment, he suddenly asked.
"Can you tell me what those stones are for?" Marist narrowed her eyes. She waved her hand to signal the Enils next to her to stay away. The Enils backed away amidst the protests of her champion, and then she Elegant Drag Silk also squatted beside Darkus and whispered.
Marist knew what those stones were for. After all, Tal Litanel had some stones collected over thousands of years, but the Enils didn't know how to use them. The stones in the golden pool were at least placed in ancient times. It can play a role on the holy creation, but other stones lack supporting methods, so these stones can play a minimal role.
"He seems...if he is still so hostile to me next time, my people will teach him a lesson. Most of the Druchi come from the Kingdom of Nagaries. You should know this through records and historical materials. "Dakeus didn't talk about the stone, but about the so-called champion. He stretched out the index finger of his left hand and pointed at his head and shook it. He also whispered, with a hint of warning in his words.
"Promise me, we'll talk to you when we get to Tal Litanel, just don't beat her to death." Marist's nose seemed a little itchy, she elegantly put her hand on the tip of her nose and rubbed it, but the rubbing was blocked by her hand. said softly.
Darkus turned his head and glanced at Marist in surprise, and then he showed a smile that I understood. Marist had already marked the way. Combining some of what Kaia had said to him before, he quickly guessed the reason. There was a political issue involved. People live longer and have more thoughts, let alone elves.
Kaia told Darkus before that the sister of the third Queen Lauren Loren was a high-level spellweaver, and she was Marist’s aunt by seniority. More than four hundred years ago, Marist’s His aunt conspired with a human necromancer to kidnap Marist and launch a coup. The result... was self-evident, after all, Marist was squatting next to him.
Now, Marest also has a brother who lives in the ruins of Kor Imamor in the Frostfall region. Her brother Deslin is coveting her throne and thinks she is not worthy of being a ruler.
Moreover, Lauren Loren's monarchy is a maternal inheritance system, and the water here is very deep and treacherous. For example, it can be manipulated to allow the paternal family of the future heir to benefit after the heir is crowned. In addition, there is a special clause, for example, if the queen has no female heir, a prince will be crowned. Although this clause has always been there, no prince has been crowned so far.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's discuss the things in the pool first." Darkus nodded first and agreed, and then he drew a line.
"If you need, you can take away all the stones in the pool, but this slate..." Marist said playfully.
"Is there anyone in Enil who can understand?" Darkus smiled again. It seems that Marist is not easy to fool, and the same is true for thinking about it. Lauren Loren's political system is very outrageous, but after straightening it out It’s not outrageous, but there is a lot of room for maneuver. And being able to survive all the crises until the end is enough to prove that Marist has the level and quality that a ruler should have.
"It can!" Marist said, pointing to the dragon lizard in the distance.
"It can indeed understand, and it is dedicated to Kukulkan." Darkus said while looking at a stone tablet. The content on this stone tablet was very, very simple, as simple as only one sentence "dedicated to Kukulkan", as if It’s exactly the same as what Dragon Lizard said before. Since the dragon lizard can understand this sentence, it is enough to prove that the dragon lizard can understand other lizard human languages. He paused and continued, "But it doesn't seem to want to. If it wanted to, it would have told you already. If I guessed If you're right, Lauren Loren has a lot of these stones."
"There's always a way, isn't it?"
"Yes, there's always a way. If it doesn't work, you can gather all the spell casters in Lauren Loren to study it together. , isn’t it?” Darkus looked at Marist’s expression when he said this.
"Yes!" Marist said decisively. "Yes! Ha... If this is really the case, why has the previous protector of the Golden Pond been guarding here? He was isolated from the Enil society." Darkus asked.
"Like you said, now is not the time to talk about this!" Marist's expression also changed.
"I can take a step back. I don't want stones or slates." Darkus tried to show a warm smile to calm down the tense atmosphere at the moment. He stretched out the index fingers of his left and right hands and gestured in front of him. Make a circle.
Marist showed a doubtful look, and Darkus's smile was very scary in her eyes. She seemed to see Darkus's true nature through this terrifying smile.
"I have a very outstanding ability. I can clearly remember things from my childhood. I can remember every detail. And..." Darkus said something that had nothing to do with the current situation, and his voice was prolonged at the end. , then continued after a moment, "And, if I remember correctly, I should have introduced myself just now. In addition to being an elf, I am also the messenger of the ancient saint, so..." "
So, you have already put the stone on the slate. Have you written down all the contents?" Marist's expression changed again. She realized that she had been tricked by the guy in front of her. This guy had indeed introduced her just now, but what she didn't expect was... "
And, if I If you remember correctly, you should have heard my conversation with Isa just now. I mentioned the Slann Demon Priests. Do you know anything about them?" Darkus stopped looking at the slate and sat down. He looked at the scenery of Jinchi and Druch opposite and said with a smile. Seeing that Marist did not respond, he did not turn his head to check the situation, but continued to mind his own business and said, "You have to know, regardless of Lauren Luo Both Lun and Athel Loren were once the gardens of the Old Saints."
"What if... I don't allow you to move here? You must know that you are Druch!"
"Why do you do this? As long as... I walked out of this forest alive, returned to the continent of Lustria, and told the Slann priests that there were stone tablets that were very important to them. What do you think they would do? In their eyes, the laws here belong to the ancient saints. Yes, you are just living here with some kind of tacit consent."
"But the Old Saint has left this world!"
"But the Slann Demon Priests and Lizardmen left by the Old Saint are still there, and under me, the Ancient Saint Under the adjustment of the envoy, the strength of the lizard people is... different from what it used to be. As time goes by, the strength of the lizard people will become stronger and stronger. Are you interested in guessing the function of this jewelry?" Darkus said lightly. As he spoke, it was as if he was out for an outing and sitting by the pool chatting happily. As he spoke, he took out the Eye of Tapok hanging around his neck and showed it to Marist.
"You..." Marist glanced at the eyes on the Eye of Tapok ornament, and her expression changed again. She felt that she was being watched by some magical being at the moment she was looking. She knew what Darkus said. It's all true, and Darkus also has Druchi's identity. No matter what happens, Darkeus can't have an accident in this forest, otherwise she will be unable to withstand the consequences.
"I come with sincerity. I don't want to waste time. You must know that I also have the identity of Druchi Chief Consul." "
If I remember correctly, an Assur diplomatic team is also in Sith. ·Lionask has landed."
"Doesn't this further prove my sincerity? They first tried to engage in diplomacy with that group of humans, but I directly chose to land in Theatirta, just to start a dialogue with you. .
And I also helped you solve a crisis. If my sister hadn't cast two high-level magic spells in succession to severely injure the secret keeper, we wouldn't be able to chat here now, but we would be exhausted or suffer heavy casualties."
"I can take a step back. I don't want any stones or slates." Marist said directly without hesitation.
"I want to take away the slate. It's of no use to you. As for the stone... I can leave it to you. After all, it's too big and inconvenient to carry. Wait until Tal Litanel gives it to me. A few small pieces. My spell casters need something to kill this boring time. I will make some arrangements in the future, such as helping you train spell casters on how to use star stones correctly. Yes, those stones are star stones. A very strange substance." Darkus stood up as he said it, and then he pulled Maris up very gentlemanly, and then he stretched out his hand.
The content recorded on the slate is actually unremarkable, it is about the method of making the Star Stone Flag, and there is more... It also records some other uses of the Star Stone, but in general it is pretty much the same, after all, the principle of the Star Stone It's sitting there.
The content on the slate only allows the star stone to play its original role and produce some changes. Those huge star stones do not have to be made into flags. They can also be made into war equipment and magic chariots, such as the Five Elements War Compass similar to Cathay, with BUFFs of Essence Wind Mastery and Essence Wind Hub.
In a word, by activating the star stone's war equipment and magic chariot, the power of the spells cast by the spellcaster can be significantly increased.
And the size of the star stone doesn't matter. When Darkus was on Obion Island, he obtained an instrument similar to a grinder. That magical instrument can knead the star stone into a specified size like plasticine. . So... the workload assigned to Coptiti has increased again.
"Deal!" Marist held Darkos's hand.
"Where's Talos?" Darkus, who had achieved both practical benefits and elven diplomacy, relaxed and asked about Enil, who had fought alongside him before.
"He... Ivan is dead... and Ivan's soul is gone, as well as the decisions he made before... I was very optimistic about him." Marist said with a sigh.
"What decision?"
"He asked for help from nearby before the battle. Lauren Loren's politics are very complicated. By doing so, he gave up the inheritance rights of the Cloudwalker family in disguise." "
I wish Isa could kiss him." Darkus, who was somewhat speechless, said a word of blessing.
"By the way..."
"Huh?"
"What on earth is that Kukulkan?" Marist asked, looking at Kukulkan who was playing with the Druchs.
"That's the Quetzalcoatl, considered by the Lizardmen to be a manifestation of the ancient saint Tebok, revered as a sacred creature of the sky, magic, and power. They are also regarded as messengers of the Old Ones. When sacred places are threatened, the Lizards People pray to them for the power and protection of the Old Ones. Like dragons and dragon lizards, they can speak and cast magic, and their teeth contain poison. The
couatl spreads its broad wings over the battlefield, Unleash magical wrath upon the shadowy invaders. With heads like dragons and scaly bodies like snakes, these divine creatures stand majestic in the sunlight. They block the light and make the The lizardman army was able to hide in the shadows and avoid the enemy's sight. The invaders soon fell into a whirlpool full of magic and were completely lost." In the second half of the sentence, Darkus' tone became Exaggerated.
"Didn't the Ancient Sage leave this world?"
"This matter is very complicated to talk about." Darkus avoided this profound topic. Whether the Ancient Sage left or not is a very profound and complicated issue. He did not want to discuss it with Marist discusses this issue.
There are also some unimportant things about the feathered serpent that Darkus did not say. For example, the feathers of the feathered serpent will continue to fall off and grow new ones. Just like a snake, every feather that falls off contains a part of the mystery. the power of.
Lustria has a dedicated Skink Priest who is responsible for collecting feathers. When a certain number of feathers are reached, the Skink Priest will weave the feathers into a magical cloak, which can not only resist the attacks of black magic, but also allow the wearer to stretch his arms. Fly in the air, or be used to create magical battle flags.
Kukulkan is the third feathered serpent in the Lustria continent. Darkus had asked Master Ma before about the number of extraordinary creatures such as feathered serpents, thunder monitor lizards and dinosaur lizards. For these things, he often asked Master Ma, who is wandering in the world, expresses his innocence.
After the Drukis retrieved the baggage and the ballista arrows from the wilderness, and with the help of the Enils, they retrieved the escaped cold lizards, the Druchi and the Enils set out on their own. On the return journey. The re-clothed dragon lizard also joined the team. After all, it had previously promised Darkus to exchange some magic applications with those spellcasters.
Just when Dakoos made a successful harvest and embarked on his journey again, on the other side, at the exit of the underground sea on the east coast of Naggaroth, the Black Ark Temple of Malice also sailed out of the underground sea and entered the Sea of Malice.
At the top of the Temple of Malice, Malekith, the independent golden rooster, stood there impressively.
