Chapter 75 1. National Geographic Magazine (2-in-1 Water)
In the autumn, Maranur called Darkus back to Krakaronde to watch the arena and watch the games. The process was sometimes exciting, sometimes boring, usually killing the sisters. 's performance show.
Each bald sister has a story about family and revenge. They believe in Edreze. They usually hold a double-hook leather whip in their hands and a small irregular rectangular serrated shield on their left forearm. Wearing a weird golden mask, except for the private parts, the upper body is covered with scars and brass decorations inlaid on the body, and the thighs are exposed to the air without any protection.
For these sisters, pure killing instinct can replace discipline and training. Combat itself is a part of life. It happens every moment, every time it is a quick reaction and a blow from the spirit snake.
Therefore, it is very boring when the Killing Sisters fight against strong slaves, because the slaves can rarely sustain the attack in the first few rounds. Seeing this, Darkus yawned profusely. He felt that the shouts around him were very noisy. He wanted to stand up and COS the Roman Emperor to give a thumbs down.
But there were also wonderful moments. After a small group of sisters defeated a manic Chimera with terrifying artistry and unpredictable attacks, even Darkus and the Druchi dignitaries around him stood up and applauded.
Most of the sisters spent their lives in the arena after their revenge, performing bloody battles for the barking druchis. Of course, these sisters will also grow tired of the rituals of arena combat becoming stodgy and unfulfilling. As a result, the sisters sometimes approach Black Ark Admirals for raids or Dread Lords before war, wanting to test their skills on a real battlefield. Few Admirals and Dreadlords would refuse such an offer, for the sisters do not ask for loot in exchange for their services, only the promise of a true test of their foes.
During the dusk tide, Darkus did not go to the forest farm but stood in the hall of the Night Governor's Castle. Sure enough, nothing happened.
Darkus lived an extremely comfortable life at the age of 17. Maybe it was because the leeks didn't grow? But he also had time to be upset, but he was not crazy enough to ride a cold lizard to Lustria.
In 1004 of the Imperial Calendar, a thousand years ago, after Lord Mazdamudi consulted the Huta Tablet, he used his mighty power to raise a gray watch mountain range at the junction of Naggaroth and Lustria. It is said that Is it to stop Druchi's large-scale invasion?
Darkos has consulted a large amount of information this year and asked some veterans and explorers who have been to Lustria and returned or returned? , Crew and Chupa Coco.
It takes three or four months to set off from Krakarond to the Gray Watch Mountains, and there are still no accidents. The journey involves climbing mountains and wading through swamps, even beyond the Gray Watch Mountains, winding paths through the Viper Forest, and a narrow fording point north of Hesiota, the City of the Sun. Cross the Snake Tongue River.
Darkus may have been following these Druzi for a long time, and his spirit was slightly abnormal, but he was not stupid yet.
The Black Ark Herald of Despair will be repaired this winter, and next year the Sea of Resentment will thaw and the raid can begin. Dastan Cold Eye will serve as the admiral, and he promised to send Darkus to Lustria.
At dinner time, Maranul made a rare appearance in the dining area of Yedok Castle eating.
After Darkus swallowed the food, he swayed the wine in the glass gracefully and said, "My dear brother, Ren asked me."
"Oh? He wants to marry Dastan Lengyan's sister?
" Us shrugged and joked: "Does the entire Krakalond know about this?"
"That's not the case. Even a fool can see what Ren means. Okay, the Takaia family now has this qualification. I'll ask Dastan Lengyan someday."
Ever since the surprise battle in the east of the city, Renn had been obsessed with Dastan Lengyan's sister, and he would use different methods to get close to her when he returned to the city and had nothing to do.
"Would you like to go to Lustria together?"
Maranur put down the tableware, looked at Darkus seriously and said, "My dear brother, is this possible?" He pointed to the ceiling, "He I won't agree to it. I'd better stay in Krakaronde and wait for my father's Vicious Temple to raid back, but don't forget me if there are good things."
Darkus stood up after finishing the meal and pressed Maranu's hand . He leaned over your shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, no problem. My dear brother, I will give you two big fans. When you go out in the winter, let the waiter fan you behind. Absolutely There's a fight!"
After reacting, Maranur turned sideways and punched Darkus, who ran away.
Nothing happened in the winter. The only major event was the wedding of Renn Takaia and Elmir Lengyan at the restored Takaia ancestral home. It was hosted by the two brothers Dakoos, and the family members who were close to each other were all members of the family. Everyone is here. The wedding cannot be said to be luxurious, but it is extremely lively. Darkus asked Walter to hang out more at the dance. Walter's legs were a bit sloping, but Walter is now following Darkus and is still the head of the Thorn family. Let's see if he can find the female Druch he likes. , the result may not be what Walter likes, right?
The new year has begun, and the eighteen-year-old Darkus is making final preparations. The slates, weapons, tools, clothing, medicines, etc. are all ready. After confirming that they are correct, he leads a group of dignitaries and retinues to set off. They are still the same ones. Old faces, the three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family, Walter, Baine, Edmund, Kallion, Chupa Coco and the Dark Ankylosaurus. Elmir is also coming. She is about eighty years older than Ren, and she follows the fighting path of the Black Ark Pirates. Darkus still had the presidential suite treatment, but from three stars to four stars, the Black Ark had entered the underground sea channel. He was flipping through the only information under the candle in the cabin of the Black Ark spire, checking and recalling Zamuda. and Chapeiuto two sunk to the bottom of the sea.
There is only one sentence about Zamuda. During the invasion of Chaos Demons, countless souls were slaughtered in pain, and dark tentacles were summoned to drag the great temple city Zamuda into the depths of the sea. The power dome finally cracked. Then there was the memoir of a Lothern explorer before the Elven Civil War.
Chapeiuto has slightly more information, and Dacus was more impressed by this "Lost City of Gold". Chapeiuto also slid ruthlessly into the sea during the great invasion. This city was Offshore, near the Fire Swamp, the city is said to be inhabited by a variety of terrifying and ferocious predators with glowing eyes, pale flesh, and huge gaping maws filled with millions of curved teeth. It is said that an undersea empire now occupies the ancient city, an ancient and evil race that occasionally raids the surface of the sea on moonless, dead nights, dragging hapless sailors to their doom.
But Darkus also knew what was in the temple city that sunk offshore.
Knowing that he was going home, Chupa Coco ran around on the deck and saw everything new. Of course, he was very smart and knew what not to mess with. After boarding the ship, he never messed with the black dragon sleeping in the dragon's nest behind the deck.
The black dragon was the product of Malekith's secret cultivation in Naggaroth. During the civil war, his lieutenants arranged for people to steal the dragon eggs from the Kingdom of Caledor. Alandrian, the ancestor of the Hellscourge family, must have been involved. This black dragon was given to the Lengyan family on credit by Newkel and belonged to Suleh's heir. Corruption and powerful black magic had already infiltrated the black dragon's body.
A black dragon can destroy an entire army with its claws, horns, and tusks, and the caustic breath from its maw can destroy the lungs of its victims and corrode their skin. The black dragon's hard skin is enough to block the most powerful arrow rain, but when it comes to its strongest weapon, it has to be the kind that is deeply rooted in the hearts of its enemies. Seeing the huge bloodthirsty monster appear above its head, he himself The fear of being powerless.
After putting down the book and rubbing the bridge of his nose, Darkus lay on the guardrail of the spire and looked at the dark underground sea in amazement. The underground between the mortal world is divided into many layers, like underground seas, tunnels, and roots of the world. This It is a place that would make a geologist ecstatic, but it is a pity that he is not.
When Druchi first came to Nagaros, he could only go out to the Vast Ocean and Sea of Chaos to plunder through the Sea of Resentment and the Sea of Cold Heart. But then they discovered the underground sea, a huge underground waterway system. The huge sea under Naggaroth connected the Sea of Chaos and the west coast of the Sea of Resentment in Naggaros.
The underground sea route is very dangerous, full of intricate labyrinth-like tunnels and hidden caves. If you drive into such tunnels and caves, you can only ask for your own luck. Many of them are dead ends in the end. Navigating on commonly used routes is also fraught with dangers, as collapses in the underground sea and rising and falling tides can also pose fatal dangers. There are also a large number of strange and cruel blind sea monsters living in the deep underground. Compared to Druch, their eyes are more adapted to the dark underground environment. There is a reason why the deck of the Black Ark is thirty meters high.
As political strife in Krakarond and other cities escalated, some druchi were driven out and became Shadows. Some of them are hiding in the mountains, and some are keen on exploring and developing sea routes in the underground sea. They will sell information to admirals and captains. But even the Shadows have only discovered a small part of the secrets of the Underground Sea. Every few years more discoveries are made, and rumors within Druchi's society are filled with rumors that there is an entire mysterious civilization hiding in the dark caves deeper underground.
Darkus knew that there was indeed something deep underground, and they were indeed forced to hide deep underground. As for what it was? What are you hiding from? You have to ask the ancient sage, the oldest master of Ke, and the legendary grand plan.
Now Druchi's navy can travel quickly from the underground sea to various places, such as the Boiling Sea on the west coast of Naggaroth, the Storm Sea and the Serpent Sea in Lustria, etc.
On the west coast of Naggaroth lies a sea full of small islands and giant beasts called the Boiling Sea. It was created long ago, long before the recorded history of the Elves. A massive earthquake tore apart the coasts bordering the open sea and dumped them into the sea, creating the patchwork of islands that now stretch along the west coast. The earthquake also tore the seabed deeply, leaving huge fissures that have not healed to this day. Through these fissures, hot magma surges from the core of the planet. The high temperature heats the water, forming a large amount of steam on the sea surface. Some parts of this sea are constantly boiling, giving rise to the area's name.
Of all Druch's ships, only the Black Ark can enter this extremely uninhabitable and dangerous sea area. Beneath the waves of the world dwell many wonderful and dangerous creatures. From fire-breathing sea dragons to the Kraken that roam the vast oceans, the bounty of the sea is as diverse as life on land. Druchi came here with only one purpose, to capture those important parts of the fleet, the evil and huge sea beasts. Although many parts of the Boiling Sea are deadly to all forms of life, in some places the mineral-rich waters teem with a variety of savage predators.
Many of these behemoths, such as the famous and vicious Hell Dragon and the gigantic Sea Dragon, have long served as Druchi's tools of war, at least since Druchi learned how to use magic to stitch the Tower of Destruction and Plunder to these Begins when on the back of the giant beast.
Hell dragons are relatives of sea dragons. A large number of hell dragons live in groups in the boiling sea. They are smaller than sea dragons, but much more ferocious. Their sharp claws are combined with fangs that can bite through steel. They are used to pull the Druchi's Tower of Destruction and Plunder. They are controlled by a small group of specially trained Druchi Tamers. The Tamers are the only Druchi capable of controlling these savage creatures. The Tamers will Guide the hell dragons with the magical spears atop the Tower of Destruction and Plunder, tearing the creatures apart with explosive pain if they disobey.
Infernal dragons will also attack anything that is not of their own kind. All Towers of Destruction and Plunder in a Black Ark fleet are pulled by infernal dragons hatched from the same clutch of eggs, but even then they will sometimes Attack each other in fierce battles.
Think of them as cold lizards in the sea.
As for the sea dragon, the sea dragon is a sea dragon, not a sea dragon. Long ago, they were once true dragons, ridden by Druchi's ancestors, but over the decades they were gradually corrupted by dark magic, mutating to such huge sizes that they lost their ability to fly. ability and have to spend their entire lives in the water to support their own weight. Even so, they are still capable of tearing apart the largest ships in other races' fleets. Their scales are also made of fine material, very light yet very strong.
As more and more behemoths are brought back from the Boiling Sea, these primitive terrifying powers will accompany the Black Ark, and Druch's fleet will complete a fantastic transformation.
