Chapter 367 Destruction and Rebirth
Master Ma’s words aroused Imric’s doubts. There is basically no clear explanation about the origin of Sotek. The young ancient saint, the belief gathering, the zodiac dragon, etc., all Maybe it's just the identity.
But listening to Master Ma's words, it seems that he is a physical god, not a purely conscious creature like the ancient saint.
"What exactly is Sotek?"
At this time, Master Ma returned to his previous inscrutable demeanor, and no longer chatted with Imrik as he did before,
"Sotek's arrival has been predicted for a long time, but Whether it brings destruction or rebirth, this is unknown to Slann." "
Okay, saying it means not saying it. Can you use some words that I can understand to explain what Sotek is. "Imric gave the big toad a look of disdain, and suddenly realized that it was easier to communicate with the big toad just now.
Master Ma did not enter the mind of the young race again and continued the obscure riddle,
"But all this is waiting to be realized, and you are a part of it."
After saying that, a ball of white light appeared in its hand, Shroud Imrik.
A moment later, Imrik, who was still in a dazed state, was sent to the square where he started, sitting cross-legged.
A beautiful turning body landed smoothly, and he couldn't help but cursed at the pyramid that he thought was mysterious and abnormal, "
What bullshit? I didn't even explain it clearly. It really embarrasses the title of the eldest son of the ancient saint."
And the group was doing it. When the vigilant Dragon Prince saw the prince return intact, he immediately surrounded him. Seeing the prince's angry look, it might be that the communication with the demon toad was not harmonious, and he might have to break out now.
When Imric was still angrily scolding Master Ma for being covered in fat and that he would throw it into a cauldron to make a boiled frog in the future, Davian carefully interrupted him and looked at the few approaching people with caution. The Skink Priest, and the accompanying Monitor Lizard, said to the Prince,
"Prince, have the negotiations collapsed? I will say that these cold-blooded species must not be trusted. Please call His Highness Minas Nir first, and we will cover your departure. "
Imrik, who was interrupted by Davian, was not in the mood. Maybe Master Ma would look at him on the pyramid and laugh, mocking his cerebellum for not being developed enough, and not even making any preparations to counter magic. .
He waved his hand and signaled the Dragon Prince who was still vigilant beside him to relax. "The negotiation was successful. The lizard people will not interfere with our colonization plan. I have reached some agreements with the Demon Toad. The two parties should start some cooperation in the future.
" The Skink Priest who was guarding the giant lizard came to Imric. He was the lively bar friend. He first walked around the Dragon Prince for a few times. After looking at it, he couldn't help but jump up in surprise. He couldn't help but He opened his mouth and said,
"Hey~ You're okay, Lord God hates some lively hot-blooded species the most."
Imrik couldn't help but cross his chest and snorted coldly, and said to the Friend Priest,
"Just like Master Ma, You don't dare to attack me at all."
These words made the friend priest even more excited. It can be seen that it is a character that likes to communicate, rather than like the temple guards beside the big toad, who are like stones waiting for the battle to come.
"Lord God asked me to take you around Hesiota and give you the topographic map of Lustria." The lizardman, who has no concept of diplomacy, did not hesitate to prepare for the elves to visit this important northern place. For the city, you also need to show Imrik the terrain map. This will definitely not be some vague jungle distribution map, but a detailed military map marked with spiritual vein nodes and hidden sentry towers.
Imric didn't find this strange at all, but he just got to know the lizardmen a little more deeply. It may be difficult to gain friendship from this race, but once they regard you as an ally to advance their big plan, they will Don't hesitate to tell many things.
Everyone walked through the Hesiota. The giant lizard carrying stones and obsidian was led by the skink and walked towards the labor area, preparing to strengthen the city wall or polish weapons for the lizard warriors.
The goldsmith's shop that lit the fire was emitting scorching heat. Under the disbelieving eyes of the elf, a whole bucket of extremely pure gold ore raw materials was thrown into the fire, preparing to use touching purification techniques to turn it into a suitable shape. , used as decorations, or turned into gold plates as recording materials.
And looking behind the open-air donkey fire, there are mountains of gold ore raw materials.
Some insects and unknown fresh meat were also brought into the city, and they would be distributed quickly. The environment in Lustria cannot preserve food for a long time, and the lizard people have not advanced in civilization for thousands of years, and they do not know how to deal with such things as food. Do more research.
Coupled with the talent of cold-blooded species with low energy consumption, they often only need one meal to provide long-term nutritional support, and the rest is to rely on the sun to maintain their lives.
As we left the labor area, we arrived at the place responsible for offering sacrifices. The environment here was undoubtedly much better than before. Neat streets connected the surrounding areas, and the well-trimmed decorative trees were also very beautiful.
The temple door is decorated with gold and is inlaid with yellow gems of different sizes. Under the exquisite craftsmanship of Skink craftsmen, they are neatly arranged to form a sun crest.
"~His~ This is the place where ancient saint Koteg is worshiped." The Skink Priest introduced Imrik to the situation here, followed by other surrounding temples dedicated to ancient saints, almost all with similar exaggerated decorations. .
Imrik swallowed. He had thought that the lizardmen were rich before, but he didn't expect them to be so rich. Just the fist-sized topaz on the door of the Kotheg Temple would probably attract Lothern. An uproar in the gem market.
This is an unparalleled temptation for Caledo, who is somewhat financially strapped. If all these gems are pried off...
he quickly throws this idea out of his mind. He is thinking about money and going crazy. The Dragon Palace has plans for the colony. Several creditworthy banks in Lothern have been approached for large loans.
Although the default conditions have almost no effect, they will also make the Dragon Palace lose credibility. Even if these banks just want Caledor's influence, terror will not urge repayment at all, but a huge loan of millions of gold leaf coins is still a burden.
"Kozrat, I think the cooperation between Caledor and the eldest son of the Ancient Saint cannot be superficial." Following Master Ma's tone, Imric issued a Slann-like command to the Skink Priest who had just learned his name. instruct.
"~His~, Lord God asked me to cooperate with you to realize the prophecy." Kozrat turned his eyes and spoke Master Ma's order without thinking.
"I think the equipment of the eldest son of the Ancient Saint is a bit behind the times. Caledor can provide you with better services." Imrik proposed Caledor's best service, which is to sell equipment.
