Chapter 152 2.
The city of Ningba Lens, Spicazuma.
On the morning before he was about to leave for Krakalund, Darkus had a strange dream. Everything in the dream was so real, as if it had already happened, and it seemed like some kind of ominous omen. He once thought about giving those Druchi country bumpkins a little Lustria shock! It is commonly known as pretending, showing off, and making noises, but what are the consequences?
The Hellscourge family has ruled Krakarond for almost 5,000 years and is in charge of the entire shipbuilding industry of Druchi. Then why does the Hellscourge family only have one black ark that was originally launched from Nagaryth instead of Build a few more black arks. The current top management of Druchi maintains a wonderful balance. If Darkus appears with the giant beast, will it break the balance? Can the consequences be tolerated by Darkus and the Hell Calamity family?
The Witch King Malekith ruled but did not rule, but he defined a range for the Druchi dignitaries. It's like a roll with a score of 100, but the rich and powerful can only swing between the highest score of 85 and the lowest score of 75. If the score is below 75, there is no weak in Nagaros! What about a score higher than 85? Witch King Malekith said that you will sit on this throne? Or a passionate physical and spiritual interaction with the Witch-King Malekith?
"It's so fucking awkward."
The giant beasts of Lustria were used to protect this medieval world. To put it bluntly, they were to realize Darkus's ambitions and ideals, rather than to become the sorcerer king Maleki. Si became the tool of Phoenix King Malekith. If you want to be the Phoenix King, even the Norscan Yankees can unite. This psychopath knew he had this ability and couldn't wait to organize an attack on Ulthuan? When the time comes, he will lead the giant beast to clear the way for the Witch King Malekith and wreak havoc on Ulthuan? Come to the medieval world to chase stars? After successfully capturing Ulthuan, Phoenix King Malekith said that you are very powerful and is going to give you four good fruits to eat, namely, hiding the bird with a bow, cooking the rabbit with the dog, killing the donkey with the mill, and burning the bridge with the river.
He is Darkus Hellbane, not some bastard son of Malekith. He thought that if he brought the Lustrian beast back to Naggaroth this time, he would return to Lustria again soon, but his situation would probably not be good at that time, such as the problem with his neck. Wearing an iron chain or being mind-controlled by black magic or something? Maybe he could find a chance to escape, or be rescued by the lizard people, but what about the Lustrian beasts already in Naggaroth?
As tuition fees, or as a valuable life experience? That Darkus' brain was completely flooded, or was blessed by Tzeentch. Then he stayed in Ruthia and Ashland? The Naggaroth Druchi counterattacked Ulthuan Assur, and he led the lizardmen to counterattack the Naggaroth Druchi? Is this part of the big plan?
"Don't go home in fine clothes, let's go out in fine clothes at night. When the time comes, ask your parents first. If the parents are unreliable, just run away. I won't play anymore." Darkus bent over and sat beside the bed, stroking his drooping forehead with his left hand. He was thinking about and analyzing this dream over and over again.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Since Darkus sat up and stayed in this position, Genevieve also sat up and looked at him quietly from the side, asking until he finished thinking.
"It can't be called a nightmare, it's very strange." Darkus shook his head, turned his head and pressed his forehead against Genevieve's, looking into Genevieve's pupils and said.
Genevieve patted Darkus on the shoulder, stood up, put on her shoes, and began to change her clothes.
"Have you thought about it? Go to Nagaroth in the north? You can live here temporarily and wait for me to come back, or go to the Vampire Coast and take a boat back to the southern city-state?" Darkus did not go to see Genevieve, but went back to Lying on the bed, he put his hands under his head and looked at the lines of the tent.
"Is it dangerous there? Or are you going to have a marriage between nobles when you go back?" After Genevieve put on her skirt, she turned around and looked at Darkus with a serious expression.
"Political marriage? Maybe there will be one?" Darkus said a word lightly, then thought about it and said, "Nagaros is a place where I can't even protect myself. We southerners are a little better. Dot, the further north you go, the more problems there will be in Druch, and you won't like it there!"
"I'll accompany you! By the way, let's see what your marriage partner looks like." Genevieve finished arranging her hair. Said casually.
There was no morning exercise today. The Druchi were still making final preparations for departure. They were all very satisfied with this adventure in the Lustria jungle. The pirates and animal trainers obtained crystals that are valuable in Druchi society. and gems, the income in the past two to three years is far greater than the income from going to sea with Black Ark for decades. As for gold? Druchi in the team already looked down upon him. The Druchi dignitaries selected some gold and gems as souvenirs. What these smart Druchi needed was prospects and directions, and now they have them.
Darkus left the Big One and the Behemoths in Spicazuma, and the Cold Lizards are now all Lustrian Cold Lizards. A large amount of luggage, souvenirs and luggage were piled on the saddle of each cold lizard. Some cut Osinite stones, serrated swords and highly corrosive liquid extracted from the mouths of ancient salamanders were also carefully placed in containers. .
After experiencing various reluctant and inseparable farewells, Darkus ordered the cocoa to Lord Mazdamudi, who was sitting on the bench not far away looking at him, and Chupa, who was waving to him. nod.
Darkus would not really find a narrow and shallow fording point north of Hesiota to cross the Snaketongue River and then pass through the winding paths of the Viper Forest. If he did, he would encounter the same problem as the one who came from Skogi. Just as difficult as getting to Hesiota.
The next second, the team arrived at the City of the Sun, the Taibok Mirror Pool northeast of Hesiota.
The pool is not big. It is said that the future can be predicted in this sparkling pool, but the future cannot be seen. Instead, the Druchis stood on tiptoe beside the pool, looking at the face of a female Druchi in the pool with great interest. The screaming, ferocious, vicious and curse-filled face still appeared in the pool, but that one The face could not break the calm pool noodles.
It is said that 1500 years ago, when the Gray Watch Mountains had not yet risen, the Druchi sorceress led a group of Druchi to invade here. Under the protection of Taebok, the lizardman army was attacked by the sorceress's black magic. After surviving, the sorceress was thrown into the Taibok mirror pool and became a sacrifice to the wind god Taibok.
Alyssa kept staring at that face. It wasn't until Ren touched her gently that she reacted. Following Ren's prompts, she saw Darkus who was looking at her.
"Did you meet an acquaintance? Or did you fall in love?" Darkus asked teasingly, lying on the stone pole by the pool. His expression and demeanor didn't look like a scary face, but like he was visiting an aquarium. "My lord, no." Alyssa said hesitantly.
"Try?" Darkus said, snapping his fingers, and then said hello to the skink leader who was responsible for guarding this place.
Alyssa carefully held the Quanguo egg away from the ferocious face, and then carefully put the Quanguo egg into the pool water.
The ancient saint Taibok is the god of wind and also the god of Quetzalcoatl. Since he is here, let’s give it a try. Sure enough, there was a reaction after this test, but the reaction was very weak, so weak that it could be ignored. If it weren't for the slight trembling of Quanguo's egg, it wouldn't be detectable.
Darkus stood there looking at Alyssa, waiting for Alyssa to make a decision.
"My lord, just put it here first, and let the water nourish the soul in the egg of Quanguo. I have a feeling that the egg of Quanguo will not be able to hatch in the next few years." Alyssa thought for a while, she was worried about Quanguo The Egg of Fruit was corroded by black magic in Naggaroth, and was destroyed in fierce battles or stolen by Kane assassins. I also thought that the creature in the Egg of Quanru suddenly broke out of its shell and the first thing I saw was not she. She thought a lot at this moment, and finally decided.
"Okay, it's up to you."
After explaining things to the leader of the Skinks guarding here, Darkus' team set off.
Going all the way north, after finding a pass that was extremely difficult to pass, I finally crossed the first Gray Guard Mountains, and then climbed over several Gray Guard Mountains with great difficulty. But that didn't happen. Instead, the end was just beginning. The team began to climb over the Titan Peaks and passed the Wyvern Lake.
The style of painting has also become more and more Nagar-like, cold, dark and depressing, and the northern sky is always filled with black clouds that will not dissipate.
Just like there is no wife in the wife cake, there is indeed a wyvern in the wyvern lake, but this wyvern can only be regarded as unlucky. It was killed by the Drukhi like melons and vegetables, and even The corpses were not properly disposed of and were directly eaten by the cold lizards.
Next, the team took a Z-shaped route, climbed over Broken Moon Mountain again, and entered the Petrified Forest. Darkus looked up at the ancient city of Quintex in the distance, and a feeling suddenly emerged in his heart that there was something there! And something important to him. He shook his head and ignored it. If he were to go, it wouldn't be now. The team quickly entered the Anaheim Forest and did not encounter Assur patrolling in the forest.
"It seems our cousins are all holed up in Anaheim."
Anaheim is a colony and naval base in Assur, established during the reign of the second Phoenix King Barshana, Druchi of Krakarond. The army often came to kill people in an organized manner. However, after reading the map, Darkus was a little confused about what role Anaheim could play in intercepting Druch's navy? Harassment and resentment? Harassment of Krakarond by land? Nothing wrong? It is farther from here than Ulthuan, and the underground sea of Naggaroth has no outlet near here.
Not long after walking out of the Anaheim Forest, I saw the Fortress of Fear standing there. It was used as the logistics base and starting point for the Krakalond Druch army to attack Anaheim. Druch and Assur counterattacked. Repeatedly, it was rebuilt when the Druchi army came, but was destroyed by Asul's army when they left. It is now in a ruined state.
After resting for a night in the ruins of the Dreadfortress, the team continued to set off and moved along the Druchi marching route in the Doomsday Woods. After passing the broken Vaal Anvil, the team entered the Venom Grove and they were home.
Baine was wrapped in a cloak, and the halberd of the god Quiteli was carried by Kallion.
Darkus did not choose to go to the city, but first went to the forest farm where he had stayed.
"Back again, the broken wall place."
