Chapter 156 6. Otherwise (sorry, the state is not good)
the ancestors who still have their remains have been properly placed in obsidian sarcophagi, and the rest are basically tombs. Darkus walked around the cemetery and found a man There are women, but the tombstones all bear the title of Disaster from Hell.
In Nagaros, the relationships and ties of the powerful Druchi families are rarely mentioned and admired. For a Drukhi powerful person to gain real fame, he must obtain it through his own actions, not through some feat accomplished long ago by an ancestor who has long since been buried or has decayed. For this reason, Drukhi magnates often adopt warrior aliases or titles to strike fear into the hearts of their allies and enemies alike, but this does not mean they have betrayed their previous bloodlines and families.
If you want to gain recognition and prestige in Drukhi society, such aliases or titles must be backed up by actions, so Drukhi dignitaries usually adopt aliases or titles that reflect their inner evil tendencies, or they can be used through horrific actions. The kind that proves it. A Druchi dignitary named "Poison Blade" will bring his weapon coated with the deadliest poison to fight. If the Druchi dignitaries dare to laugh at him, then the final outcome of these Druchi dignitaries is likely to be... He poisoned him with his own hand and the edge of his sword. Likewise, a Druchi dignitary named "Broken Spine" will go to great lengths to remind other Druchi dignitaries how appropriate this nickname is.
Drukhi society does not think there is any contradiction in this kind of behavior. The most typical example is Manjil Human Skin, a descendant of the Heart Eater family in Krakalond. He was born in the Heart Eater family and has the alias "Human Skin" and the name "Human Skin". title, but it does not mean that Mangil has broken with the Heart Eater family. Instead, he will inherit everything from the Heart Eater family after solving all hidden dangers. This hidden danger includes his brothers, sisters, father, or uncles.
But there are always exceptions, and some of the aliases or titles of these Druchi magnates have now become so famous that they have been passed down. The Fallen Heart family of Kalonde Karr lasted for five generations, with each generation bearing the title Fallen Heart.
From time to time, the veteran Nagaris of Krakarondri or the Druchi dignitaries from other kingdoms come up with new aliases and titles. Perhaps this is their determination to express their loyalty to the Hell Calamity family that rules this city. These old families all retain the oldest titles.
The titles of hardcore families loyal to the Hellscourge family, such as Mogar, Godric, and Takaia, were handed down before the Great Schism and continue to this day.
Most of the children in the family are proud of these titles. Almost no children in the family are interested in making up a title for fun. Only a few who are very ambitious or go to the north will create a different name or title of their own. Of course. There are also rising stars like the Lengyan family.
This is especially true for the Hellscourge family. It is said that before the Great Schism, Kedelon was not named after the title of Hellscourge, but another title. Kedron uses the title of Hellbender to express determination and bring hellish disaster to his cousins. In Darkus' view, the title of Hell's Scourge is much higher than poison blades, human skins, broken spines, beheaders, and torturers. This title is not from a tactical perspective, but from a warrior's point of view. It starts from the strategic perspective of politicians. Due to the existence of Anasara's mother and son, the family is prosperous, full of talents, and brothers and sisters are respected. The children of the family are all named after the title of Hell Disaster, and regard this title as the supreme honor.
Drukhi society is a cruel and evil society, similar to Social Darwinism. Since weakness is met with contempt and bullying, the Drukki of Nagaroth are considered ferocious and ruthless. These conditions apply not only to men, but women must be equally ruthless and skilled with swords, spears, or repeating crossbows, and in some cases can even be more cruel than men. As far as Darkus knows, the current night governor of Kalonde Carl is a woman.
When necessary, the druchi regiments were raised, usually from various extended civilian families. There will be many women in the legion, wives and sisters of warriors, beautiful and deadly, and it is normal for Druchi men and women to fight side by side. In times of peace, they lay down their weapons and pursue interests more appropriate to their gender, such as running a household or finding ways to kill their husbands' enemies.
But there are exceptions, such as witch spirits, slain sisters, or sorceresses.
Some of the female Druchi from the Hellscourge family came here through friendship, and most of them held positions such as fear lords, officers, admirals, and captains.
The sorceresses of the Hellscourge family remain within the family. These sorceresses are valuable talents in Druchi society. Because they are talents and understand the mother of the Anasara clan, they will not flow out of the Hellscourge family and are usually associated with them. The male Druchi who were promoted from the civilian class were married. Dakoos saw the past of several male Druchi who were promoted. Basically, they fought bravely and had extraordinary courage, but very rarely, he suddenly thought about the centurion. Long Edmund.
Commoner sorceresses who are promoted usually marry men from the Hell Calamity family. Dacus's mother is a commoner sorceress. His mother is not only talented in casting spells, but she can also please the mother of the Anasara clan. But this kind of promotion does not affect his status in the Hell Calamity family. There is no such thing as elder and younger in Drukhi society. It all depends on fists and ability.
Darkus judged that in the Hell Calamity family, except for the mother and son old monsters of Annasara, there should be no other old monsters who usually lived in seclusion in the secret room and only appeared when the family's survival was in danger. With the character of the Annasara clan mother, she would definitely not be stingy about letting her family's children live longer. The problem is that there is really no problem. They usually die in battle before they live to the end of their lives.
Darkus had no intention of asking a vampire or a necromancer to come, pull up the ancestors in the cemetery and divide them into fifty-fifty pieces. Necromancy that brings the dead back to life like this is considered evil by Druchi society! right! That's right! is evil! Inhuman! Rejected by Drukhi society! Besides, Druchi's soul usually returns to the arms of Es Haiyai after his death, and is resurrected as just an empty walking corpse.
"According to ancestor Kedelon, how many generations are we in?" Darkus suddenly asked this question, because he couldn't figure out how many generations he was in after looking around.
"Fifth generation? Eighth generation? I don't know, is this important?" Maranur looked at Darkus and said nonchalantly. He had never cared about these issues.
"That's right, let's go back, it's time to have lunch." Darkus said equally nonchalantly.
"Do I really want to go to Naggarond with you to serve as the aide-de-camp to His Majesty the Witch King Malekith?" Maranur finally asked the question he had been holding back all morning.
"Otherwise, what if you stay in Krakarond all day long? Or go out to sea with your father to raid and plunder? Then inherit the Black Ark Temple of Malice and become the admiral?" "
Otherwise? I think this is good! Instead of becoming some kind of Witch King. His Majesty Malekith's adjutant!" Maranur said with considerable resistance.
"You are a descendant of the Hell Calamity family, and you are my good brother to Darkus. Maybe you can do more? Better? Isn't that right?" Darkus turned his head and looked at Maranur seriously. said.
"Thank you so much! My dear brother!" Maranur said through gritted teeth as he looked at Darkus.
The buildings of the Hell Calamity Family are also different from other Druchi buildings. The Night Governor Castle in Krakalond was very large when it was built, and there was nothing that has been continuously repaired and expanded over the course of thousands of years. , the structure of the castle did not turn into ruins with the erosion of the years, and then other parts were built on and around the ruins, and defensive walls were stacked. Each wall was built to surround the new wave of expansion, forming a A crazy maze of chaotic passages, abandoned towers and walled courtyards.
There is no case where a new waiter is dispatched and no trace of the waiter can be found within a few days, or even disappears forever. The two brothers Darkos are familiar with the roads and structures in Night Governor Castle. The brothers often adventured and played in Night Governor Castle when they were children. The brothers hoped to find some abandoned areas and walk through the cracked and vine-covered streets. A gap in the stone, through a sloping pile of rocks that was once a wall or spire, and across to a larger, overgrown courtyard with a giant thing crawling out of a pile of vine-covered trash. Hissing to warn them, the brothers brandished their weapons and dispatched the monster to become the family's warriors, but to no avail.
Perhaps because he was born in Nagaros, everything in Night Governor Castle is so orderly. There are only clean black and purple buildings, no ruins, and no morgue. Of course, there must be some unknown secret rooms used to store important things, but this is not what the Darkus brothers can know. There were a large number of patrolling family guards and busy waiters walking through the Night Governor Castle every day. The two brothers returned to the dining area playing around like they did when they were children.
As night fell, dark clouds gathered, and the cold wind howled through the spiers of Krakarond, Dakoos made his debut at the Mogar family party. The name of the party was to welcome him back. There was no reason for him not to come. Those who had All the powerful and powerful children of Druchi who had fought with him came. He called the three Takaia brothers, Elmir and Walter to come around, look for a marriage partner for Franais and Walter, and promote tobacco by the way.
The first half of the night was very indulgent and empty. It was a lot of fun, or rather high, but there was no legendary silver party, nor did a few slaves come out to have fun. These powerful children of Druchi were relatively restrained, probably because of the presence of Darkus. Likewise, there are no blind Druchi disciples asking questions such as where has he gone? This kind of question should not be asked, and he found that Maranur's target was very specific, that is, the sorceress of the Mogar family, because he saw on the pointed ears of the sorceress that he had sent him last night. The Lustrian Gem for Maranur.
The days that followed were ordinary and boring. Nothing unpleasant happened in Krakarond that required Darkus to deal with. The leeks in Naggaroth did not rise so fast. The Hanir Hala ceremony will still be a few years away. held.
Newkel provided Dacus with a list on which the names of the family's children and some deeds and ability evaluations were written. He asked Darkus to select some family members as potential candidates for training, and followed Darkus to Nagarund for some experience.
"Ouch!" Darkus opened the list and realized something strange. He had always thought that there were only a few children in the family. It turned out that most of them went on the ship to gain experience, and some of them followed him in the Tower of Destruction. Mother Annasara learns magic.
"Ernst, captain of the plunder ship, proficient in navigation and combat."
"Kelio Colonia, dark sorceress? Maranur also has a sister? Why didn't I know?" "
Hoha, The captain of the plundering ship is proficient in navigation and combat, how can he be repeated?"
"Selile, a cold lizard fear knight serving in the Ebon Claw, is also proficient in combat and command."
Darkus looked at it for a long time, but there was no He made a decision immediately and planned to take a look at it during the family meeting.
Soon, the family meeting was held. There was no ancestor worship, and there was no buffet. The venue was also not set up in the hall on the first floor of the Night Governor Castle, but was chosen to be the place where Dacus had first met Baine. Meeting room.
Darkus and Maranur did not have seats, but stood on one side of the Anasara clan mother like the two generals of Hengha. On the other side stood Newkel and Keslay. He also took this opportunity to observe. People on the list.
Ever since Darkus carefully observed Newkel's study, he gradually discovered that the interior of Night Governor Castle, apart from the halls on the first, second and third floors, was also quite Asul, but the form of expression was very metaphorical? It was so metaphorical that he could only vaguely feel it. It was so metaphorical that only high-class Assur slaves and Druchi who had stayed in Ulthuan could understand it. Of course, even the Witch King Malekith could understand it if he came to see it. .
The men in the family are all quite tall, flexible and muscular. They generally have clean and tidy hair. They do not have dozens of small hooks and barbs woven into their hair like other Druchi. Of course, they still have pointed ears. Wearing spiritual rings of different shapes.
Most of the women in the family are quite beautiful and delicate in appearance, as well as tall, lithe and muscular, whether they are warriors or sorceresses.
The children of the family, regardless of gender or profession, all wear silk robes at this time. Men mainly wear dark colors, while women are more complicated, ranging from indigo to deep purple.
Darkus was still wearing his classic aristocratic robe with purple outer and crimson inner robes. It was very simple and did not add any jewelry or jewelry embellishments.
Family meetings are very traditional. The children of the family stand up and introduce themselves. Some are generous and nonchalant, while others appear very reserved and nervous. The content of the introduction was very concise. In a few words, who is his father, who is his mother, and what he does. There was no rubbish like I just said a few sentences. Although the children of the family have different expressions, they Darkus could clearly see that they were all proud, and a few caught his attention.
After going around in a circle, after the introduction, Mother Annasara stood up and made a concluding speech, focusing on unity and progress, supplemented by encouragement to draw cakes, and then nothing more. . .
Mother Annasara teleported away, and the children of the family got up and started to eat in the dining area. Perhaps for the children of the family, the dining area was the beginning of the family meeting.
