Chapter 155 5. A prosperous family
"What happened at that time?" Darkus asked curiously.
"The shell first hit the uncle of the three brothers and sisters, and then hit your father." Maranur said with a sigh.
Darkus was speechless, he didn't know what to say. It was obvious that the Drucci pirates did not take advantage of the city defense system designed by Leonardo da Miragliano.
"Why didn't you go to the party?" Darkus asked after thinking for a moment. As he spoke, he took out a stone wrapped in black velvet from his arms, and then said, "Your gift, take this stone with you. , can be exempted from all kinds of corrosion. Of course, if the corrosion is excessive, the fragment will turn into powder.
"Thank you, my dear brother, coming to see you is more important than attending any party. This gift is exactly what I need." of. "Maranur lightly punched Darkus on the arm, then took the black velvet cloth, opened it, held the ogham stone fragments on the dining table, looked at them under the candlelight, and said.
"I said it all. Believed. After finishing speaking, Darkus took out a bag full of Lustria gems and put it on the dining table. Then he took out a pipe and tobacco and said, "These are your gifts, and I will give them to you." Two big fans, ask the waiter to fan you behind when you go out, you will definitely have a good meal! "
Maranur gave Darkus another gentle punch, then picked up the pipe and fiddled with it. Darkus began to teach him how to smoke. After coughing violently, he immediately mastered how to use it. It was obvious that he was He is more talented than Newkel in this regard.
"I don't like it very much. Don't you smoke?" "Maranur took a few puffs in a row, put the pipe in front of Darkus and asked.
"Try this, you have to smoke even if you don't like smoking. This thing will become the family's mainstay industry in the future. As a member, you have an obligation to promote this thing. "Dakus pushed the pipe and looked at Maranur in surprise. It was rare that Maranur, who liked pleasure, did not like this harmful substance. He then took out the chewing tobacco and said.
"This is nose Shit? "Maranur opened the box and looked at the dark things in the box and asked in surprise. He showed resistance, but he still brought the box to his nose and smelled it.
Darkus ignored Maranur , reached out and took out a piece from the box, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Maranul watched his movements and imitated his movements, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"I like this, this suits me!" "Maranur chewed a few mouthfuls of chewing tobacco, swallowed the saliva and said.
Darkus looked at Maranur speechlessly. Maranur didn't even know if he could stop him. Should he spit out the black water or swallow it? Fortunately, it was not some important diplomacy. He stood up and walked out of Maranur's attack range. In front of Maranur, he exaggeratedly pushed the black water away from him. He spoke to Maranur through his teeth.
"My dear good brother, I have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that you can no longer go to sea with your father. "Dakeus said jokingly with an exaggerated expression.
Maranur was stunned for a moment when he saw Darkus spitting out the black water. He didn't know how to chew the chewing tobacco in his mouth. After reacting, he chewed it subconsciously and was Choking, he began to cough violently.
"The good news is that you have to go to Nagarund with me to stay for a while. "Dakuus said jokingly while striding back. After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Maranur, who was still coughing, was left in the dining area.
Darkeus' room was still the same, As soon as he entered the door, he could see the entire room through the mirror. The room was spotless, and a waiter would clean it regularly. He still kept vigilant and looked around, and there was no drama like there was a Kane assassin hiding on the roof.
As for Genevieve? She You have to eat good fruits, there is no way around it. Just like there must be an extremely outrageous story behind an outrageous rule, Drukhi society has developed for five thousand years and has its own set of rules and logic.
Darkus He didn't sleep well that night. He always felt that he could hear screams from time to time, and they were soul screams.
The next morning, Darkus saw Ruth in the dining area. The Druchi dignitaries in Chea were all haggard and in a daze. They had obviously suffered a lot of stimulation and fright last night.
The spoon in Walter's hand was shaking violently, as if he had Parkinson's disease. .Dakeus
started to eat after greeting the Druchi dignitaries and family members in the team. During the meal, he mentioned the news about their uncle to the three brothers and sisters. Judging from the reactions of the three brothers and sisters, they had already Got it.
As for Baineze not appearing in the dining area, he was temporarily imprisoned in disguise. Before returning, Darkus also asked him if he wanted to stay in Lustria, but he refused. Dark Us talked to him about the stakes, and he accepted it. Now he can only stay in a place unknown to other Druchi, but this is only temporary. Because this is Nagaroth, and there is black magic. In the past few days, I have prepared a Qipi mask for him. After putting it on, he becomes another Druch. As long as he does not wave the halberd when there are many Druch, he will not be recognized. Also, don’t go to Naga. Londe!
The beast trainers of the Hell Calamity family have their own place to eat and usually do not appear in the dining area. The pirates of the cold-eyed family of Naika are temporarily staying in the barracks of the Night Governor Castle. Maybe they will be there in a few days. Darkus could see them standing guard.
"I really like drinking this blood wine. "Genevieve looked like a Bretonnian aristocrat, sitting at the dining table and pretentiously eating druch-style dishes, but her main attention was attracted by the iron-flavored blood wine.
Genevieve as She is a very special existence. Druchi in the team cannot offend her, and Druchi in the Night Governor's Castle naturally does not make things difficult for her.
"If you like it, drink more. There are plenty here. "Dakuus said nonchalantly, he didn't like the wine anyway.
Darkus announced the news of a half-year holiday, and told the good news to Pojiao Walter, who had Parkinson's disease, and Pojiao Walter knew the news. The trembling became even worse.
"Come out!" "Maranur came over cursing after finishing his meal. He sat directly next to Dacus and looked at Dacus angrily.
"My dear good brother, you don't have to go today. Ebony Claw report? "After Darkus swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked at Maranur with an innocent expression and asked.
"What the hell, you know this and still ask? You are really my good brother! Maranur pointed at Dacus angrily and said, he was even more angry because of Dacus' actions.
"Don't Druch have a famous proverb?" Good brothers, share the joys and sorrows, and share the hardships! "Dakuus laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking, and he said jokingly while laughing. The Druchi dignitaries who were still eating were a little overwhelmed after hearing what Darkeus said, and Renn almost Didn't laugh.
"Fart!" Why have I never heard of it! "Maranur punched Darkus on the shoulder and continued to say angrily.
The several Drukhi dignitaries at the table had almost eaten, even if they were not full. Look at these two brothers. , exchanged glances with each other, stood up, saluted, and left politely. Genevieve, who had high emotional intelligence, did not let Druch scream, and also stood up and left politely.
Maranur received a notice that he did not need to report to Ebony Claw. Notified, and will learn to handle government affairs with Young Master Newkel in two days. Of course, these are not important. The important thing is that in half a year, he will go to the side of His Majesty the Witch King Malekith to serve as an adjutant! Darkus had no idea before he came back Any omens and notifications, combined with what Darkus said last night, he knew that this must be the fault of his good brother! He had done a lot of hard work!
"Are we going to have a bad relationship from now on? Does the Witch King like to see us like this?" After the dining area was empty, Maranur looked at Darkus and asked in a serious voice.
Dulias went to sea when he was very young in Maranur, and he and Dacus experienced the loss of their mother. Growing up, the closest Druchi to him was his younger brother Dacus. His father Dulias came back to Krakalund once when he was sixteen years old, but something happened during his trial and he only came back the next year. His father had already set off from the Underground Sea on his way to the Boiling Sea, and it was not until this year that his father came back again. As for Clan Mother Annasara and Young Master Newkel? Like Darkus before him, he usually stayed away.
"The great Witch King Malekith will not care about our nonsense. Besides, who in Krakarond doesn't know about our relationship? Don't worry, since Young Master Nukel has agreed, there will definitely be no mistakes because of these things. ." Darkus said directly.
The Alandrian brothers served as lieutenants to Malekith when he was still somewhat normal, so there is no reference to them. What about Julian and his brother Dorian? Who knows?
"Yes, who is it? I asked you to take you to parties and banquets, but you refused every time. It turns out you like this style!" Maranur raised his thumb in the direction Genevieve left. Looking at Darkus, he said jokingly.
"Go away!"
"Are you going to go shopping in the market? I'll accompany you. I have time today."
"No."
"The family cemetery?"
"Yeah! Let's go and see."
In Nagaroth, weakness is Despised, when a druchi dies, few of his companions care about the shell he leaves behind. But the tradition of the Hellscourge family is obviously different from that of Druch. The family cemetery is behind the Night Governor Castle. Every family member who has passed away in the arms of Es Hayiai has a place that belongs to them, and their tombstones are engraved with their deeds during their lifetime.
Newkel stood behind the window of the study, smoking a pipe and watching Genevieve with a dull expression in the garden, playing with the flowers that were about to wither as the season came, while the two brothers Daqua were in the cemetery. Turned around.
"The cemetery seems to be empty. It is said that the remains of the ancestors of Kedelon were not recovered at that time." Maranur said in a low voice with a slight shake of his head towards Dakous as he followed the direction of the largest obsidian sarcophagus chamber in the cemetery. .
Darkus nodded while looking at the deeds on the tombstone and did not respond to Maranur. He knew that the ancestor of the Hell Calamity family, Kedelon, died in the battle while defending Tal Anlek. At that time, Mare Keith's army has fallen into a state of decline and is on the verge of defeat. There is no way to recapture Kedelon's body. If we have the strength to recapture Tal Anlek, we won't lose it.
The tombstone that Darkus is looking at now shows that this ancestor did not come to Nagarus with the Black Ark, but chose to stay and fight in the ruins of Nagarus, and then the rest, the Hell Calamity Family could not Know how this ancestor died in battle. He looked at the tombstone next to him and saw that he stayed in Nagaris just like before. The two ancestors were husband and wife. It was unclear whether they stayed behind actively or passively. This may have to go Ask Mother Annasara.
The next few tombstones described their deeds fighting in Nagaryth, and they continued to die out as the civil war progressed. Several others were killed by Druchi when he returned to Nagaryth after settling in Nagaroth in order to defend the sea reinforcements and supply lines and fight against the emerging navy of Assur. Others were killed while following Malekith in his search for and attack on outposts in the Ulthuan Ring Mountains. The Gryphon Gate was built during that period.
When Malekith was fighting in Nagaryth, Morathi, who was staying in Nagaryth, organized an expedition to go deep into the north to search for the artifacts of the dark gods and observe the ever-changing energy of chaos. The leader of the expedition at that time was the Anasara tribe. Mother, several family warlocks accompanying the team were thrown to the north. More ancestors died in the long-term tug-of-war on the Kulou Islands and the sea, and some died in the battle to clean up the remaining hedonistic sects of Naggaros. The ancestors who went to support the invasion of northern Chaos also died in the battle. In the north.
In the Battle of Longbeard, the Phoenix King Caledor II was killed. Malekith led Druchi to return to Tal Anlek in Nagaryth. A large number of ancestors rode cold lizards and died in the battle. In the bloody tug-of-war from Tal Anlek to the Temple of Asuryan, and from the Temple of Asuryan to the Withered Islands, Drukki was driven out of Ulthuan for the third time as the battle on the Withered Islands failed. .
The first few rows of tombstones ended here, and Darkus knew that this meant that Druch and Asul had entered a period of exhaustion, and that the so-called peace era had come. During this period, Druchi was mainly recovering and licking his wounds. With the popularity of the underground religious sect, the ancestors died in various ways, including those who died of hedonism, those who were assassinated, those who died in accidents, and those who died in duels.
With the succession of Phoenix King Movir, the war between Druchi and Asur began again. A huge Asur fleet came to Nagaros. The Druchi who knew the news in advance ambushed them and obtained A great victory, and several more ancestors died in the battle known as the Bloody Day.
Malekith took Druch and returned to Tal Anlek in Nagaryth. In the tug-of-war that lasted for more than three hundred years, a large number of ancestors died in these battles. Malekith was driven out of Nagaryth again and again.
The achievements of an ancestor who died in this period attracted the attention of Darkus. This ancestor rode a black dragon and used the Soul Eater to shoot down three Caledor dragon knights in the air battle. This was riding a black dragon. The dragon knight with the dragon flying in the sky is not the dragon knight riding the horse on the ground.
"Awesome!" Darkus couldn't help but sigh, and he began to think about the battle scene.
"When can we have our own black dragon?" Maranur did not run away during the long and boring visit, nor did he find a place to sit down. Instead, he stood beside Darkus and looked up. I began to think of the Black Ridge Mountains in the distance.
"There will be." After Darkus finished speaking, he continued to visit.
In the following period, Druch expanded his vision to the entire medieval world, including Indy, Lustria, Norsca, the Old World, etc. where his ancestors died in battle.
"The Hell Calamity family is really prosperous and has many talented people!" Darkus saw the latest tombstone, which belonged to his father's cemetery. He looked back at the densely packed tombstones and sighed.
Darkus stood there for a long time, not laying flowers or saying anything to the tombstone. He just stood there quietly, thinking about other things in his mind.
