Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 144 69. Going Around the Capital (5K5)

After making noise for a while, the Skinks began to hustle and disperse, most of them still had work to do.Some Skinlizards who were idle for the time being ran to the square in front of the largest ancient St. Izzy Pyramid in the city, watching Eye of the Storm lying there ready to take a nap.

Itaza, like Spikazuma, the largest pyramid is that of the ancient St. Ichi.

"Familiar with taste!"

Gorok stood in front of Dacius, staring directly at Dacius, his thick nostrils constantly expanding.Standing in front of Dacius with his strong and burly body covered in scars was full of oppressive feeling, the big guy kept baring his teeth at him, growling that he didn't like him and told him to stay away.Drucci behind Dacius was also on alert. This group of Drucci dignitaries probably knew about what happened in 1700. After all, the incident was too big in Naggaros at that time, and some of their ancestors even participated in the event. through that battle.

"Because I am Umak of Old St. Izzy."

These words made Dacius quite speechless. He knew that Gorok was talking about something that happened 1700 years ago.But he wasn't worried at all that the big white lizard would attack suddenly, he spread his hands and said casually.Also, there was no such thing as pretending to be X. His Umak identity was like a senior member's passport in the Lustria continent, and he could go anywhere without hindrance.

"Izata, don't ride, the Cold Lizard is running around." Grok turned his head and left after saying this.The heavy steps taken when leaving made the road tremble faintly.

"How much does this great white lizard weigh?"

Dacius could feel the tremors from the road when he was riding on the big guy. Behind him, Durucci let out a sigh of relief. The almost three-meter-high Gorok felt too oppressive to them. strong.

The next few days were relatively calm, and the rainy season came in the second half of the year in Lustria.

Dacius lived alone in the Great Pyramid of Iqi, and the other Drucci could obviously feel physical discomfort when they approached, while Genevieve said that he had no reaction.

The old Skink Priest who maintains the place told Dacus that during the Great Invasion, the first lord of Slankroka displayed his supernatural powers on the top of the Great Pyramid of Iqi. , the most mysterious machines of destruction, Lord Kroka unleashed them in a cataclysmic storm of mystical forces that reduced the raging armies of Chaos Daemons to ashes.To this day, the Great Pyramid of Iqi still contains power, and mages and other creatures with mystical vision can feel the potential power of the Great Pyramid of Iqi.The closer you get to the source of the Great Pyramid of Iqi, the more you will feel great physical discomfort. Maybe this is why the Druccis feel uncomfortable when they get close?
Dacius took Geneviève around the Great Pyramid of Iqi several times, but did not find the most powerful and mysterious destruction machine.The Skinlizard Priest who was beside him, who was too old to walk, also expressed his ignorance, and stared at him, unable to explain why.He was a little disappointed, and he was still thinking about finding something like Big Ivan and manufacturing explanatory slates. At that time, he would give the Skavens of the Skryre clan a few in the old world, so that these rats could feel the ancient times. A little shock from Saint Technology, let's see which of the two nuclear bombs is better?
However, Dacius can feel the changes brought about by his body living in the Great Pyramid of Iqi. It seems that what is important is not the most powerful and mysterious destruction machine in the secret room of the Great Pyramid of Iqi, but this Yiqi. The Great Pyramid of Qi itself is the most powerful and mysterious destruction machine.It's just that he is the god's choice of the ancient saint Izzy, and it didn't make him feel unwell. On the contrary, this mysterious force would nourish him.

Next to the Great Pyramid of Iqi is the equally large Pyramid of Sotek, built at the end of the Snake and Rat Wars.Between the Great Pyramid of Sotek and the square, there is a deep pit for sacrificial snakes, which extends to the depths below.There lived a snake that was bigger than the Amazon python. Dacius visited it once, but he didn't know what species it was. Gogo looked at him, but just looked at him straight, as if greeting him, and there was no strange phenomenon of the giant snake speaking suddenly.

Techenhauin's first-born brother said that the giant snake was the incarnation of Sotek, which was fed every day with the sacrifices thrown down.During the height of the War of the Snakes and the Rats, armies from Itza and other cities would bring captured Skaven here, and these captured skaven were forced to travel long distances across Lustr, driven by Lizardmen armies. Subjungle to punish the Skaven for the disaster that the Skaven brought to the Lizardmen and Lustria.After several months of trekking, the surviving skaven will be brought here to sacrifice, to express the reverence of the skinks to Sotek, and to give Sotek the power to fight the eternal war with the horned rat.Of course, now is the low ebb of the war between snakes and rats. There are no Skavens in Lustria to sacrifice, so they can only feed some meat.

Now, every day, the Firstborn Brothers pray and worship on the altar at the top of the pyramid, rain or shine. Many Skinks will participate every day. After the ceremony, the Skinks will disperse and start a beautiful new day.When the ceremony reaches its climax, the Skinks will hiss and resonate that can be heard throughout the temple city. The sound is eerie and sacred, just like the snake and skink made together.

The old skink priest once mentioned that during the heyday of the Sotek worship ceremony, all the skinks in the entire temple city would gather in the square, and the most prosperous time was after the sacrifice of the Guicomo Ring Pit , held by Tehenhauin himself, even a mummy made of Lord Kroka's body was brought out to pay homage to Sotek, when the hissing resonance of all Skinks even reached the city. outside.

At first Dacius felt a little annoyed when he heard this voice, but then he gradually got used to it, what can he do if he doesn’t get used to it?He can't let the skinks stop this kind of activity, can he?Slann, who lives in this temple city, acquiesces to this behavior, what is he doing with Umak.This resonant sound is punctual and rainy every day, just like a rooster crowing.Now, when he heard this strange resonance sound with his arms around the cold Genevieve, he knew it was time to get up and do morning exercises.Of course, this morning exercise does not refer to the morning exercise with Genevieve, but the morning martial arts exercise with the Drouches.

"As soon as I heard this punctual voice, it made me feel uncomfortable." Daxus, who didn't need to sleep and looked at Geneviève, said helplessly.

Dacius knew what Geneviève was trying to express, as if hearing the voice gave goosebumps.Not everyone can get used to this kind of sound. When chatting, the Duruccis also said that they have different feelings when they hear the sound.

In the following days, Dacius began to walk around Itza on the shoulders of Kami the monitor lizard. This first city is really too big. Perhaps this temple city is by far the largest in the mortal world. City.

Itza is located in dozens of different districts, each of which is infested with skinks, and the wide streets are full of skinks, who are dedicated to doing various tasks to serve the grand plan.They bustled through the rain, sometimes hissing and chatting with each other, and then quickly dispersed after communicating.The strange thing is that in this temple city, there are no general administrators like Chupa Coco Brothers, Taito Iko, and Coptiti. Each area is managed by Skink Priests, and these Skink Priests maintain current status.

The air in the temple city is filled with all kinds of magical winds, and the energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye send arcs straight into the sky from the tops of the ancient holy pyramids.He could feel a long-lost tranquility. This energy seemed to calm his restless heart and caress his dazed and tired soul.

"Umak, that, there, calling, calling me!" Kami, the monitor lizard walking on the street, pushed aside the hissing and chattering Skinks beside him, stopped and pointed at a pyramid. .

"That is the pyramid dedicated to the ancient Saint Quiteli, where the venerable Lord Slantepec-Inzi meditated."

Dacius looked back at an Itza skink priest who was also sitting on the monitor lizard's shoulder. The skink priest froze for a moment, then pointed in that direction and said.

"Go and have a look."

Dacius seems to understand why Lord Tepec-Inzi launched his expedition after the Stele of Ancient San Quetelli was stolen 1700 years ago.

Itaza is filled with pyramids of varying sizes dedicated to the Old Ones, each dedicated to an Old One and also the abode of a Slann.The mummies made from the remains of the Slann lords and their favorite treasures and handicrafts will also be placed in the pyramid or in the crypt below, carefully cared for by several Skink priests and a large number of Skink attendants.Likewise, the altar at the top of each ancient holy pyramid will hold rituals on certain days of the year or when inauspicious astrological conjunctions occur.

The passages of the pyramid enshrining the ancient Saint Quitelli were surprisingly large, unlike the passages that Dacius drilled before, which could only accommodate the height of the Skinlizard.But now the figure of the monitor lizard Kami has turned over a circle compared to when he met him in the City of the Moon, and his waist has straightened up. He is gradually whitening, and he is becoming more and more ancient monitor lizard, just like an ordinary monitor lizard enlarged It is the same as 1.5 times, the channel will definitely not be able to enter.

Dacius asked for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason. Kami the monitor lizard scratched his head and faltered and said the call repeatedly, which made him and Chupake look dumbfounded.However, based on his adventure experience, he feels that there is a high probability that there is something in this pyramid that is summoning the monitor lizard Kami, preferably something. If the Old Sage blesses that kind of indoctrination adventure, it will be a bit troublesome, and he has to find the legend of Slan go in.

Drucci and the Skinks, who didn't follow up with the pyramid, have already opened the game, and they generally believe that something is calling for Kami the monitor lizard.They were arguing fiercely, betting on what was calling Kami the monitor lizard.The fierce dispute attracted some Itaza Skinks to watch. Under the explanation of Ren, Walter, and Yakadan, these Itaza Skinks also pressed some of their jewelry.

Yakadan's pair of gold bracelets also pressed on it. Having traveled extensively in the Lustria continent, he judged that it should be something like a polearm.With his joining, the smart Druccis also thought it was a weapon, and soon changed the handicap, and now they started betting on what weapon it was.

Now that you are here, you must first visit Lord Tepec-Inzi. A polite Drucci like Dacus must say hello before taking things, although he did not use them.He and Chupa Keke walked slowly in the aisle. The pair of friends who cooperated with each other kept teasing and asking the skink priest who led the way, and asked if there were anything about monitor lizards in the pyramid, or a stele. s things.But the Skink Priest who led the way was very tricky and cunning, so cunning that he couldn't get in.

When walking halfway, Chupa Coco gave a ruby ​​to the Skink Priest who was leading the way.This ruby ​​obviously has a function that can quickly promote thinking. After playing with the ruby ​​a few times, the skink priest who led the way quickly recalled that there is indeed a weapon for monitor lizards in the secret room of this pyramid, but the weapon It's been there for a long, long time.He and Chupa Keke looked at each other tacitly in the dark corridor, and soon came to the stargazing room at the top.

The stargazing room is no different from Hesiota’s Pyramid of Stars in the South Sky. It is calm and comfortable, in stark contrast to the heavy rain outside. The stargazing room has a fresh and livable circulating gas system, and a complete steam fumigation system.Temple Guards stood guard in the rooms around the stargazing room, and the pillared doorways were filled with Skink attendants, hissing and watching Dacius in low voices.The Chengyu of Lord Tepec-Inzi was placed on a pedestal surrounded by a pool of water, and two Skink attendants stood beside Chengyu, waving huge feathers and banana leaves like paddles, while the whole room Filled with a lotus scent mixed with a psychedelic potion.

Lord Tepec-Inzi was meditating, his huge and fat frog body rising and falling with the long breath, showing no sign of waking up.

Dacius just walked through the scene to say hello, it would be best if he didn't wake up.He had no intention of shaking Lord Tepec-Inzi awake and having an awkward chat.What are we talking about?Talk about how Lord Tepec-Inzi led Gorok to kill all directions in Nagaros 1700 years ago?
After staying for a few minutes and admiring Lord Tepek-Inzi's appearance and sleeping posture, Dacius and Chupa Coco left. They went down to see what kind of weapon was led by the Skink Priest. Soon they saw a long-handled giant hammer and a set of golden cloaks in a secret room.

The shape of the sledgehammer is almost the same as the hand of darkness held by the black hand of another world, but the handle of the sledgehammer protrudes, and the side of the hammer body is engraved with the mark of ancient Saint Quitley, but with the passage of thousands of years, the mark has disappeared. Already dim.The material of the sledgehammer and the gold drape is the same as the style of the god's weapon. It is made of a special material that looks like gold but not gold. The sledgehammer is made of a whole body and is not connected with a wooden handle.

"The Old Sage is on top! Come here and help me, I feel like I can move."

Chupa Keke volunteered and prepared to lift the sledgehammer over his own strength, but no matter how hard he tried, the sledgehammer did not move at all, as if it had grown on the ground like a sword in the stone.He bent down and panted to the Skink Priest who was watching the fun by the side.

"My brother, don't waste your efforts! The two of us can't lift it together!" The cunning Skink Priest shook his head and said, without any intention of stepping forward to help.

"Let's go, put it here first, and let Gorok get it later."

Dacius leaned against the door of the secret room and watched quietly. He saw Chupa Coco trying to lift the hammer again, but this time it seemed that he didn't stand firmly this time. Bumped into the Skink Priest who was having fun.He watched Chupacoco's funny every move and smiled a little, he knew it was over, he walked over to help Chupacoco up and said.

Soon, Dacius and Chupa Coco walked out of the pyramid. After Chupa Coco cast a rain-proof magic on him, he stuffed the ruby ​​that was just given to the Skink Priest into his hand. The friends looked at each other tacitly.

This set of equipment, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be waiting for the arrival of Kami the monitor lizard. With the assistance of the skinks, he put the golden cloak on him, and he picked up the fist of the god Quitley and started to play. Standing up, the giant hammer in his hand seemed to be like an extension of his arm, without that bulky feeling, but extraordinarily flexible.

Of course, the name of this weapon was given by Dacius. He saw the mechanism on the hammer handle. He believed that this god weapon would burst out with terrifying power after being fully charged. The monitor lizard Kami held this The indestructible sledgehammer will surely be invincible on the battlefield and contribute more power to the grand plan.

Gorok's cold eyes showed excitement. He asked to wrestle with the monitor lizard Kami on the spot, and soon the handicap opened again. Durucci and the skinks in the team placed their bets on the monitor lizard. Along the way, they knew the horror of Kami the monitor lizard.

Only Walt, who has a family background, placed his bet on Gorok. Walt knew that this big white lizard could smash a cold one chariot charging at full speed with a single hammer, because an ancestor of his family was so soulful. In the arms of Guess Hayai.

The Skinks of Itza bet on Gorok. As residents of the temple city, they also knew the horrors of Gorok.

Dacius watched from the side with a smile and didn't participate, even though he had already guessed the result.

The news didn’t spread. Just as the bet was made, Gorok and Kami had already started wrestling. A few minutes ago, a lizard man and a giant lizard were in a stalemate. Gradually, Kami couldn’t hold on anymore. Duru Qi and Skinks kept cheering and yelling, Kami was still persisting, but he still couldn't recover from the decline. The paws on the masonry of the street were scratched by Kami's feet, and Kami was gradually retreating. The victory and defeat have been divided!
The Druccis shook their heads in disappointment. As for cursing Kami the monitor lizard in front of Dacius, they didn't dare. They knew that Dacius loved this strange monitor lizard, and the Skinlizards in the team He let out an exaggerated howl of pain.

After the wrestling was over, Dacius comforted Cammy the monitor lizard a few times, and then said a few words to Gorok, roughly meaning that during this period of time he would train the lizard warriors in his team, Gorok After looking at him for a while, he nodded in agreement, and then Grok nodded to Kami the monitor lizard and left.

In the next few days, Dacius wandered around Itaza again. This temple city was also rich. The edges of many pyramids were inlaid with gold, and there were countless precious stones.There are fantastic plants floating in the air in the open space of the floating garden, the eternal fountain made of emerald stones, and the Kotago corona made of constantly moving stones.

Dacius came to the famous bridge of stars located in the east of Itaza. This is a building as old as Itaza, spanning a huge rift valley formed hundreds of millions of years ago.Standing on the bridge overlooking the whole land, he felt like walking on the glass plank road. Star patterns flashed on the bridge occasionally, and meteors flashed past from time to time.

The Bridge of Stars is actually the entrance to Itaza, but only lizardmen can pass through, and giant beasts cannot pass through. Two groups of lizardmen warriors guard the two ends of the Bridge of Stars.

According to local Skink guides, this is where the enemies of the Lizardmen have failed many times.During the Great Invasion, the monitor lizard Nakai stood on the bridge to block and harvest the Chaos Demons. The number was so huge and the record was so prominent that it is said that these Chaos Demons were afraid of this place, as if this place was like a place for Chaos Demons. The gong sounded by the demons echoed continuously in the millennium.

Dacius nodded in agreement, just like a real tourist, listening carefully, and nodding in agreement from time to time.
