Chapter 121 46. He was the one
who gave himself three hobbies on the sea of Bretonnia shortly after Darkus arrived, and now they have all been realized.
Painting means letting Ren draw.
Food means not very delicious.
Musical instruments, referring to tambourines and horns.
Perfect!
Walter expressed that he wanted to stay in Spicazuma and learn how to manage and operate a city with the skink priests and chiefs. In addition, he wanted to serve as a mine overseer and watch over their share.
"No! Keep going! If you want to learn, you can return to Krakaronde and I will arrange for you to study with Young Master Valahar Niucr for a period of time." Darkus didn't even think about it. He refused as soon as he thought about it. The unreliability of the skinks left a very deep stereotype on him. He didn't think that Walter and the skinks could learn anything. The Thorns family was the only one there. Don't let the family name of the Thorns be ruined by then.
As a result, Walter's face turned green when he heard the name Newkel.
"This is what you have to face as the head of the Thorns family! Besides, you will have to meet His Majesty the Witch King in the future. It seems that your family still has a seat in the Druchi Council of Hundreds, right? Huh? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? Don't stay up late all the time. It’s not good for your health.” Darkus was enlightening Walter with good intentions, but he didn’t seem to notice that Walter’s expression had become unnatural.
"By the way, you recently took Kalien and the others to the animal training pen to study the manure of the giant beasts, such as the daily output and quality. You must give me the results before you leave!"
Darkus suddenly He thought about manure. Although there is magic in farming in this world, it would be a pity not to use the manure of so many giant beasts. When he visited the two temple cities before, he had seen skinks planting in the floating garden farmland. used.
"Good fellow, why do you want to be a scumbag in a medieval warhammer?" Darkus was speechless and shook his head with a wry smile.
Before the third-generation Slanthroth lord of Itaza returned, Darkus paid a special visit, mainly asking about the Slanns living in Itaza, especially the fifth-generation Slanthpek-In. Lord Qi's views on his northern neighbor.
There is a bloody historical story here.
1700 years ago, a group of Druchi explorers from Hagrid Grave came to Lustria through the underground sea. They secretly stole one of the most sacred star monuments from this land, the Ancient Saint Quite. The star monument of profit.
What purpose Druch intended to use this sacred star monument for was beyond Slann's knowledge. But the Slann knew that they could not let Druchi use the power of the Quitely Star Monument, nor allow Druchi to use dark magic to tarnish the purity of the Quitely Star Monument.
Awakened from a decades-long trance, the fifth Lord of Slantpek-Inzi of Itaza is determined to reclaim the Star Stele and thwart any of Druchi's mischief.
The next story is extremely hilarious.
Tepek-Inzi led Itaza's army and teleported directly to the northernmost Hesiota. Mazdamudi was also in deep contemplation at that time, but he was still given command of the army in the city. Therefore, the number of his troops doubled, and he began to lead his army northward. At the Sea of Witches, his army successfully intercepted Druch.
The Druchi also discovered the lizardman army. When the Druchi tried to escape through the narrow strait leading from the Witch Sea to the Boiling Sea, Tepek-Inzi commanded the army to launch an attack. He released an extremely powerful magical shock wave that caused the seawater to rise and hit several of Druchi's predator ships against the rocks. The magic killed hundreds of Druchi in an instant and forced the survivors to crawl to the beach. superior.
The ensuing battle was extremely bloody, as the Druchi were cornered by the lizardman army, with their backs against the brutal Boiling Sea. The lizardmen have no mercy when fighting. Among them, the Great White Lizard Gorok wielded the Ulumamac stick and killed the Abyss Siren.
Although most of the Druchi were massacred, a small number managed to escape, taking the Quitely Star with them.
Tepek-Inzi led the lizardman army and began to cause trouble in Naggaroth in the north. He was ultimately victorious, returning to Itaza ten months after the Quitely Star was stolen and returning it to its correct location.
This matter was a big fuss at the time, and everyone who is in the senior year of Druchi knows that Darkus asked the family's Butler Dia when he was in Krakalond, but Dia Butler still remembers the incident. New, because he was driving a cold lizard tank to carry Newkel into the battle. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the cold lizard tank would have been smashed away by a strange big white lizard with a big stick.
But then again, these troubles between Druchi and the Lizardmen seem to have nothing to do with him as Umak?
"Hot-blooded species are hot-blooded species, and Umak is Umak." Slot pondered for a while, left a very masterful message, nodded kindly to Darkus, and teleported back to Itaza. .
Darkus has already begun to prepare corresponding supplies and baggage.
The lineup of behemoths in the team is a bit extravagant now. There are two ancient triceratops, one is an old friend of the big guy, and the other was bred from Talaxland.
The two ancient Triceratops are no longer working. The engraved gold plates have been re-installed on their bodies, and the combat platform on their backs has been re-hoisted. The big guy's old friend continues to carry the Eternal Glory Eternal Sky Instrument. Those who came continued to carry the engines of the gods.
The Triceratops took away two of them. They needed to carry supplies and luggage. The front part of the combat platform on their backs was equipped with a backward crossbow in the lizardman style.
The Ankylosaurus has three heads, and the Dark Ankylosaurus is also among them. It also resists the Vicious Blood Image, and the other two heads carry the Sun Engine.
As for the other Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, which were about to hatch and had already hatched their eggs, they stayed in Spicazuma without taking them with them.
Such a behemoth configuration can allow Darkus to walk sideways in Lustria as long as he does not go to a specific place to seek death. He is not worried about the number of giant beasts, since he has the horn and can blow it when the time comes.
Darkus believes that there will be more and more giant beasts in the team along the way. Although there is no such thing as maintenance fee, the problem of giant beasts' food consumption bothers him a bit. Each giant beast has a range of activities in the wild. If there is not so much food, the giant beasts can hunt it all at once. It is difficult to achieve a balance, just like the math problem of one pipe with water in and the other with water.
Unfortunately, the two ancient Triceratops are both handlers and cannot breed. Except for temporarily forming a group when they need to breed, they usually hunt and move alone. And the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be very good? Now these two ancient triceratops do not work or play together, because they often use their giant horns to learn from each other and greet each other in a friendly manner. The skink keepers were a little out of control, so giving him face when Darkus was around could calm them down for a while.
Sometimes it's not good to be able to understand what the giant beasts are saying. Darkus could imagine how much torture the next journey would cause to his ears.
"What will happen if the next ancient triceratops that joins the team is a female?"
Darkus stood aside and watched the druchi trainers and skink keepers trimming the feet of Big Brother's old friend. When I was wiping my body, I started thinking about this issue. The team will set off in two days, and Darkus has been wandering around the animal taming enclosure for the past two days. He wants to ensure that the giant beasts are in good condition. Occasionally, he would go to the Blessing Incubator, but the progress was still very slow. It would be difficult for him to finish it when he came back.
Before setting off, the three Quiteli halberds took advantage of the gap in the casting platform to recharge their batteries.
Baine has already studied and understood the mechanism of Quiteli's halberd. After turning on the mechanism, it will enter a low-energy consumption mode. As for how long it can last on standby, no one knows. Darkus's one has been lit for half a year and has no energy. The tendency to weaken can sometimes be used as a glow stick. After the halberd blade hits an object, it will consume energy, which lasts for about three hundred rounds, and then it needs to be re-energized. Baine discovered that after the rainy season, the sun in the sky can also recharge, but it is a bit very, very slow. But this is good news, at least it can be used outside of Lustria.
In short, when there is energy, it is a purple outfit, and when there is no energy, it is a blue outfit.
Darkus was very satisfied with the result. After all, all the artifacts in this world have their own owners. He could really pick it up casually, and pick up three at a time. When he mentioned picking it up, he thought of the Yang Yan Sword that could be picked up at any time.
"Forget it, let's just put it there first."
Darkus studied the slate map for a long time, and finally decided not to take the southeast line, but to walk along the mountains from the south.
Although not following the +8 Emperor's will, the Marcus Expeditionary Force set up camp at the Kara Temple and prepared to retake the Empire's base in Lustria.
But the Amazons, the half-sisters of the lizard men, are indeed entrenched in the Kara Temple, but Darkus is not very interested in those Amazons. He can't create a beautiful laser gun escort, can he?
He is Darkus, not Cadzo. And since the Blade of the Ancestors cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, the fewer the better. He is afraid that Druchi will shoot him behind his back. Besides, isn't it delicious when it comes to archaeological technology and creations of the ancient saints?
During the march, the team will pass through a section of the Amazon River, passing by the Monument of Izata, the City of the Sky, Taranxila, the City of Fish Scales, Juitex, the City of Disguise, and Horotho, these three abandoned gods. Temple City. Then we will pass through the thorn valley, and we will probably arrive at the first city, Itaza, before the rainy season next year.
"The journey ahead is going to be quite long~ Ideally, we will reach the Kauchen Plain the year after next. I will be twenty years old by then. After all this going around and around, I will be twenty-five, right?"
Maz Damudi stayed in Spicazuma. He had no intention of choosing a Slann to guard here. Instead, he temporarily guarded it here and waited for Darkeus to return again.
However, Darkus rejected Mazdamudi's suggestion to help teleport to a designated location. He came for inspection and exploration. He wanted to see the situation in the three abandoned temple cities. He didn't come to Lustria to check in at the temple city tourist attraction. Besides, he is an immortal and it doesn't matter if he stays here for a few years.
Darkus' team set off under the auspices of Mazdamudi and the lizardmen who stayed behind in Spicazuma.
The team still has the same old faces, except for the addition of Kami the giant lizard. Darkus liked him very much because of his affinity and insisted on taking him with him.
Of course, Kami the Giant Lizard's weapon was also changed, and his huge hammer remained in Spicazuma. Nothing of his memory remains in Spicazuma's poetic landscape, and the dried skull of Skink Xixi still hangs around his neck.
That huge hammer is no longer used by the giant lizard Kami, and has been replaced by a heavier and more powerful Oceanite stone crescent shovel. But he could still hold it and swing it effortlessly with one hand, but it was already the heaviest thing in Hesiota's inventory.
Now the giant lizard Kami has grown a lot bigger, and a thin bone shell has grown on his face, which is slowly wrapping his face, and there is also a tendency for bone horns to grow on his back. There are many gold ornaments hanging on the red rope rings around his neck and wrists, and he also wears a pair of gold necklaces on his ankles, which makes his gray skin extra festive?
"What a big monitor lizard? This foot-washing water is too strong."
The road in the jungle was a bit slippery, but the team did not encounter any danger due to the rampage of the pioneers. All wild beasts, snakes and insects were avoided along the way, and even those strange blood-sucking plants became shy and autistic under the illumination of Hethiotar's flag of the sun and the eternal radiance of the celestial sphere.
The team first came to the Monument of Izata standing on the giant spiritual network. As a result, nothing happened, no Druch warning was triggered, and no one encountered any adventures. There is no special content on the star tablet. It is all about astrological constellations and symbols. Perhaps only Chupako in the team can understand it.
The team continued all the way south, marching within the scope of the creeping jungle. Darkus, who was holding the noose in his mouth and rearranging his wet long hair, was directly slapped in the face, and he suddenly regretted it. Maybe he should have let Master Ma teleport in the first place. Nowadays, there is nothing but jungle. Occasionally, he can encounter some pure gold statues inlaid with jewels abandoned in the jungle, but these things are pure decorations and are of no use to him, Chupa. Coco recorded the location of the statue through astrology and geography.
The only gain was that there were two more ankylosaurs in the team and a colorful but extremely noisy parrot that emerged after leaving the range of the spiritual vein network. In the morning, the parrot landed directly on Ren's shoulder and started chirping. .
"Pirates and parrots are quite harmonious."
Darkus is not a zoologist and can't figure out what species it is. He also can't figure out why the cold lizards didn't suffocate the parrot, or why the skinks didn't kill the parrot. This parrot had all its feathers plucked out to make a headdress.
A jet-black raven landed on Darkus's shoulder armor.
"Hello, dear grandma. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much." Darkus began to say hello warmly in his mind.
However, Morayig Heg did not pay attention to Darkus, but tilted his head and looked at the strange parrot seriously. The parrot no longer chirped, but looked at her.
"There won't be any problem with that bird, right?" Darkus suddenly became alert.
After a stalemate for a while, the parrot suddenly flew away. Darkus could even feel the mockery in its eyes. Darkus did not use the Blade of the Ancients, and it was too late to bend the bow and arrow. In order to ensure accuracy, he directly drew it. He took out the flintlock pistol, opened the safety, aimed and fired directly.
boom!
"This!" Darkus' keen vision could clearly see that the bullet took a curve in the air that defied physics. The bullet flew past Genevieve's ear in an exaggerated arc and hit the back. on the tree.
"Gah, gah, gah." The parrot made a mocking cry and suddenly disappeared in the eyes of the Druchis. The Druchies held their repeating crossbows high, looking a little confused and incomprehensible.
"Is it Him?"
(The Monument of Izata, not the first city Izaza. The city in the sky, Talaxlan, is next to the city of the moon, Talaxlan, and the city of ghosts is Talax, It’s a bit convoluted, isn’t it...)
