Chapter 88 14. The Old Ones
Druchi stood there waiting in agony for half an hour. Walter kept insisting on standing. He seemed to want to preserve the dignity of the Druchi and did not want to be looked down upon by these hissing skink lizards. .
After receiving some kind of instruction, Chupa Coco quickly walked over and said to Ren: "The respected Lord Mazdamudi asked me to take you to rest first."
"Where is Lord Darkus?" Franai Si asked directly.
"He is safe with the respected Lord Mazdamudi." Chupa Coco blinked and tilted his head and said to Franais.
Several Druchi dignitaries looked at each other and shook their heads. They decided to stay here and wait for Darkus.
Chupa Coco tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.
Darkus was already swimming in the divination pool. He swam in front of Mazdamudi and stretched out a hand to carefully touch the handprint on Mazdamudi's belly? It must be a fingerprint. He put his hand on it and his stomach felt smooth. He gestured, it was a handprint, but these handprints were a bit large.
Mazdamudi lowered his head and looked at Darkus speechlessly. He had never been so offended in his tens of thousands of years.
After chatting for a long time, Darkus realized that he did not seem to be a being blessed by an ancient saint or a son of an ancient saint. On the contrary, it is a higher-level existence than these, similar to the incarnation of the ancient saint. It may be that the ancient saint used his last strength to pull him over, and there are still marks on his body. Otherwise, how to explain it?
As for the Ancient Sage being a ball? This is a long story to say, Old Ones. The Old Ones are not individuals, but a group. It is said that before the ancient saints came to this planet, there were all kinds of giant creatures living here. Those giant creatures competed for dominance, and the warmest areas, that is, the areas closest to the equatorial zone, became the most fiercely contested areas. . Some of these life forms were purely instinctive creatures, others were mature civilizations that rose and fell during their time.
Little is known about the records of various races in that forgotten era. That mature civilization may have been driven deeper underground than the underground sea. Buried ruins and descendant creatures still exist. Sky Titans and dragons may all be from that era. product.
Later, during their journey across the vast universe, the Old Ones discovered the planet and brought it to their attention because they saw unique and unlimited potential. The Old Ones arrived in spaceships, declaring that this world would play an important role in their unknowable plans.
Using powers beyond the comprehension of mortals, the Old Ones redirected the orbits of planets toward the warming sun. Over time, as the ice caps receded, verdant forests quickly grew up to cover the newly exposed land. They created the Bipolar Stargate and created new races to populate the planet, including Slann, Saurus, Skinks, Monitors, Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Ogres, Halflings, etc. As for the Greenskins? The green skin was accidentally brought over by spores stuck on the outside of the spacecraft.
The Old Ones created servants to meet their needs, and so began the first birth of the Slann Mage Priests. Slann is also the only being who has direct contact with the near-omnipotent Old Ones and understands the grand plan. According to the instructions of the ancient saint, Slann established temple cities in the tropical jungles of Lustria and the southernmost jungles of the Old World. The instructions were very specific, as far as where to build the temple city. Each temple city had There is a purpose.
The nodes in the temple city activate the giant spiritual vein network to form connections. The giant spiritual vein network is like the correlation matrix of the planet's energy. Each point is connected to the next point. The ancient saints can use this huge energy library to Manipulate countless devices and powerful magic.
Slann Demon Priests can also use the giant spiritual network. Using the energy of the giant spiritual network, they can move mountains and fill seas, further helping the ancient saints complete their grand plans. As long as each node remains connected, the Slann can be used for telepathic communication over long distances. By entering a trance state, Slann can transmit pure thoughts and hold online communication sessions.
However, things are not as they should be, and the Stargate opens up another dimension.
Catastrophe struck suddenly, and across the globe, oceans churned, forest canopies shook, grotesque twists began to grow, and the moon Morsribue was formed.
Chaos Daemons erupted from the rift, and the great invasion began. With the collapse of the Stargate, the Old Ones disappeared, their fate unknown.
The remaining Slann people were still fighting desperately. They blocked most of the gaps. Most of them died in the battle. Although they made huge sacrifices, they could only narrow the gap. They could neither close it nor stop the wave of magical energy that swept across the planet. It was not until the formation of the Maelstrom of Ulthuan that the great invasion was stopped.
Then I survived until now, half-dead. Darkus didn't think about what it was. Since he couldn't change it, it didn't matter. It was the present and the future that mattered.
"How can I increase the power of the Ancient Saint?"
Mazdamudi looked at Darkus and shook his head.
"Are the spiritual nodes of the Sun Monument and the Moon Monument stable now?"
Mazdamudi was still looking at Darkus, but this time he was a little surprised. He didn't realize that this weird hot-blooded person in front of him understood it. many.
"It's stable for the time being. As for the future..."
Darkus was still touching Mazdamudi's belly. This time he changed his fingerprint again. This fingerprint was strange. It seemed to have been taken by the Chaos Demon? He said: "When the time comes, I will send an army to guard one of them." After a pause, he continued, "Can Chapeiuto rise from the sea? That city seems to be connected to the spiritual node of the opposite continent, right?"
Mazdamudi looked at Darkus for a long time, and his doubts deepened. Is this a new big plan?
"I can raise it, but there are no Slann or enough troops to guard it."
Darkus stopped touching and began to swim on his back in the pool. Hearing this sentence in his mind, he stopped swimming and wiped it with his hands. He made a face and said: "If I can later, I will sit there."
"Where is the Chaos Gap at Zahuitak in the City of Echoes?"
"It can't be closed now, and the spiritual vein nodes must be strengthened."
Darkus nodded . Head, he asked the last question, which is also the most important question: "Can the first Lord Croka be resurrected?" Mazdamudi
finally lost his composure this time, and the yellow light in his eyes became more intense, as if he wanted to see through it. Same as Darkus.
Darkus felt like the water was boiling. Why? Boiling a frog in warm water? He quickly swam back to the pool and started to get dressed.
"This requires a lot of power, the spiritual nodes need to be opened, all the Slann people need to gather in the sacred first city of Itaza, and a large number of troops are needed to resist the Chaos Demon. We can't do it." "It turns out that we
can be resurrected . Ah, I thought it was interfered with by higher-dimensional things."
PS: These two chapters are very important. They are so important that if they get sidetracked in writing, they will collapse later. If you have any thoughts or questions, please share them.
