Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 145 70. Dreamy Experience
As Umak of the ancient holy ichi came to the first city, Itza must go to the most important Pyramid of Lord Kroka.

Accompanied by the Skink Priest, Dacius and Chupa Keke walked down the passage in the pyramid named after Lord Kroka.The skink priest who served Lord Kroka was extremely talkative, and under the guidance of Chupacoco, he said a lot of things.For example, the mummy of Lord Kroka is usually placed at the bottom of the pyramid. At important moments, the mummy of Lord Kroka will be taken to the top of the pyramid, where his soul gazes at him through the eyes that died thousands of years ago. The domain of the lost master.

The Skink Priest also recounted how the mummified body of Lord Kroka was moved, usually carried by four temple guards adorned with colorful feathers and gleaming gold, Lord Kroka wearing a golden mask, A mummy wrapped in a shroud sits quietly on Chengyu.The Spirit Lizard attendants were playing their flutes and drums, and the temple guards carrying Chengyu would swing to the rhythm of the drums and flutes, and Chengyu would also sway from side to side.

"? Why is it so similar to that coffin-carrying? Besides, the temple guards still have this ability?" Dacus was confused when he heard what the Skink Priest said. He wanted to ask the Skink Priest, are you the conductor of the band? Or are you playing flags in front?Or direct the band by beating the flag?But he thought about it for a while and held back. He probably didn't understand the Spirit Lizard Priest if he asked, and instead made fun of himself.

Continuing to pass through layers of statue-like guards in the stargazing room, Dacius, who had a picture in his mind, could no longer look directly at the group of temple guards.However, he has seen the temple guards in the four major temple cities of the lizardmen. He believes that the temple guards in this pyramid are the strongest, the strongest in the entire lizardman society, and they are completely elite teams. Except Chakas, of course.He didn't ask the skink priest who led the way curiously, because there is no concept of elites, guards, and aces in lizardman society.

At the bottom of the pyramid, Dacius met the first Lord Slankroka, and then there was nothing else. . .

Lord of the first Slankroka, a great existence!He is the oldest magpriest of the Slann in the legendary First Generation.The mystical Old Ones taught him the mysteries of the magical winds and shared the secrets to unlocking the subtle clues of time.They were so ancient that it was he and his companions who later taught the first Elves how to use magic.He has read all the vicissitudes of the world, so that he is destined to watch this universe until the end.

During the Great Invasion, one temple city after another in the Lustria continent was captured, and the road for Chaos Demons to besiege Itza was finally unimpeded.Itza is the first city and the key to the defense of the Lizardmen's psychic network.Under the protection of Lord Kroka, Itza has propped up a magic barrier for decades, like a mainstay, blocking the never-ending Chaos Demons, and any Chaos Demons that attack the barrier will be reduced to ashes.However, after years of pressure, even he could no longer support such a mysterious wall. With his last blow, he blasted the barrier outwards, razed the surrounding jungle to the ground, and exiled tens of thousands of Chaos Demons in an instant.Still, the rest of Chaos poured into Itza.

In that long war, no battle was fiercer than that on the Via Itza.The epic resistance of Lord Kroka's temple guards prevented the Chaos Daemons from overrunning the Great Pyramid of Iki.How many days and nights, the lizard warriors stood firm on the towering bridge of stars.He used the energy of the Great Pyramid of Iki to condense his final spell.When the last of the valiant temple guards fell, he cast his spell, and the Chaos Daemons were vaporized in a shower of flames from the sky.

Time stood still as the very fabric of the universe tensed from the sheer outpouring of force.

During the battle, Chaos Daemons charged to the top of the pyramid.There, the Chaos Daemon's weapon fell on Lord Krokar, tearing his arcane-charged flesh to shreds in an instant.But his indomitable spirit will never admit defeat, so that his soul is still fighting.The soul was liberated from his flesh and blood, and his light soared over Itaza, redeeming Itaza with the divine light of a second sun, and the city of the first place was saved!

After the defense of Itza, Lord Kroka's loyal servants mourned their master's death.His body was scattered far and wide, so they diligently collected every fragment of that body, then wrapped his body in a resin-soaked shroud with great respect.In this way, the mummy of Lord Kroka's body was born.

But now the mummy of Lord Kroka's body is in a strange state. His soul lingers on his former body and can no longer communicate, but his spirit form can still interact with the mortal world and perceive everything.But Dacius thinks that this kind of interaction and perception is also extremely limited, either why Lord Kroka’s student, Lord Mazdamurdi, doesn’t listen to the words of the mentor, or interact with the soul to draw the direction and direction of the big plan details?

Some traces of that power still linger on the mummified remains of Lord Kroka, a distant echo of former glory.In times of need, the mummified remains of Lord Kroka will emerge outside the crypts of the Pyramids, once again enacting the great plans of the Old Ones.This time of need and making a big plan refers to going out to fix a few Itaza's redemption and putting a nuclear bomb for fun.

Dacus looked up reverently. Lord Kroka's huge golden mask and eyes inlaid with shells and topaz did not make him feel uneasy, but made him very calm.

On the sacred snake battle flag behind the mummy of Lord Kroka's body, a huge golden serpent coiled around the flagpole, looking at Dacius calmly, without twisting or hissing.The story of the battle standard is also divided, and the Slann debate whether the battle standard represents Sotek, because the Lord Kroka died many centuries before the god appeared.A very small number of Slann believe that Lord Kroka holds the mystery of time, and they probably know that Sotek is destined to appear, and they have begun to worship and even pray to Sotek in the depths of his unfathomable heart.

Lord Mazdamurdi did not show up. During this time, he was directing the reconstruction of Spikazuma, and occasionally had to supervise the manufacture and repair of the engine of the gods, and taught Coptiti to master the wind of magic and learn management.

Dacius clenched his fists suddenly. If he said that the resurrection of Lord Kroka was just a part of the big plan, it was a vague concept.After he met the real Lord Kroka, a strong desire suddenly grew in his heart.Although it seems strange from the perspective of a Drucci, but as a Drucci, he is also the last messenger of ancient St. Izzy to this world. While enjoying the legacy of Ancient St. Izzy, he must Do small things like bring Lord Krocca back to life!
"For myself who has been watched by Slaanesh and Tzeentch! For this desperate world! For this great existence!"

At this moment, Dacius thought a lot. He also thought about doing badly, and went to the inner ring of Usuan to be an old Azul farmer to enjoy a peaceful life and live happily every day.Or run to the southern city-states, empires or Cathay, but how can there be so-called peaceful life in this hopeless world?If he does this, he will also hand over his right to choose, and become an existence at the mercy of others.He thought about the words of Makarov, the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, but in the end he nodded firmly. He saluted the mummy of Lord Kroka's body and left.

But what Dacius didn't know was that Lord Kroka's soul felt his presence and watched him, but he couldn't speak.

There's nothing to do next, nothing to visit, the Slanns are meditating, and Lord Slot is meditating after returning from Spikazuma.

The skink gathering area in Itaza was also huge, and even though there were tens of thousands of skinks, it still couldn't be filled.Dacius occasionally walked through the skink gathering area and came to the outer tame animal pen to see the giant beasts and cold ones in his team. No problem, good condition.He can only tickle the giant beasts and tease the big ones, and he is not needed for pedicures and horns.The further outlying quarries and gold mines stopped collecting due to the arrival of the rainy season, and the giant beasts in the team did not participate in the work.

As for Itaza's hatching pool, Dacius learned that there are actually two places in the city, one was built in an extremely hidden cave, and the other was in the swamp when he entered the city.He also took a look at the city wall, and he could vaguely see the rectangular traces that were once surrounded by stone dikes in the swamp. The large number and scale made him a little speechless.However, with the advent of the Great Invasion, these hatching pools have now become swamps, only serving as fortifications in conjunction with the surrounding ruins.

There are still many buildings in disrepair on the periphery of Itaza, which just collapsed and eroded by the years.The Skinks of Itaza did not have the idea and concept of rebuilding the former glory. It is said that they can only be rebuilt with the order of Slann or with the foreshadowing. Now they just send some Skinks to act as sentinels to guard.

"Strange!"

Although it was very strange, Dacius was not surprised by it, but rather understood it.First of all, Itaza's political circle is very delicate. There are skink priests in charge of dozens of different regions, but there is no Skink priest in charge in Itaza, and there is no Slann lord who has given correct leadership.He seemed to understand the reason why Lord Mazdamurdi ran to the northernmost point even though he was the leader of the lizard people. He also understood why some Slann Lords became Lords of temple cities that had not restored their hatching pools after rebuilding.

When Dacius figured it out, he didn't plan to rummage through the pyramids one by one to find stone slabs and equipment. He was too lazy to visit the docks one by one because of his introverted personality. word out.The current god weapons and war equipment are enough, don't worry.What he needs to find most now is the recovery method of the hatching pool, followed by the production method of the sun engine core and the god weapon, which he subjectively does not think Itaza has.Objectively speaking, there is no such thing. If there is any, it has already served the big plan.

Besides, why did Dacius, who knew the script, turn over the pyramid next to each other? Wouldn't it be good for Lord Kroka to say something when the time comes?Thinking of this, he didn't even have the idea of ​​building a blessing incubator in Itaza now.After Spikazuma's blessing incubator is built, the next stage is to go to the city of the moon, Taraxlan, which is a city full of vitality. Very much agree and welcome.

It’s okay not to look for stone slabs and equipment, but Dacius didn’t want to let the Duluqi gang be idle, so he sent an inexplicable and unimaginable job to the Duluqi dignitaries.In addition to Alyssa who tempered himself and the egg of spring fruit in a proper position, he asked these dignitaries to deal with the Skinlizard who was in charge of farming, to master some farming processes, the production method of the floating garden, and to create Understand what the plants in the floating garden that can really float are used for, and they are carved on stone slabs by category.

The water floating garden is pure nonsense. Dacius doesn't need such things. It is purely redundant and useless work, but as a good leader, he still arranges it.If you have something to do, you won't think about what you have, and you won't cause trouble for him.

As for what Dacius is doing?Except for occasionally going to the animal taming enclosure to see and study crops with the Druccis, the rest of the time he spent in the stargazing room of the Great Pyramid of Iqi, because this was the best place to absorb mysterious power.

Under the service of the aged Skink Priest, Geneviève and the Skink Attendants, Dacius half-lyed on the chaise longue on the pedestal surrounded by the pool, and the two Skink Attendants stood behind him like fiddling It waved its huge feathers and banana leaves like oars to fan him.But the room was not lit with the lotus fragrance mixed with psychedelic potions, he really couldn't get used to that stuff.

Skink attendants played their flutes and drums, and swayed to the rhythm of the music.The tune is particularly weird, like a lullaby but also like a march.But this tune is so powerful that it can make Genevieve yawn and fall into a deep sleep after a while.Dacius was left with a dazed face, but he became more energetic as he listened, and couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

"Then play music, then dance."

Dacius half-lyed on the recliner, gnawed fruit, and stroked Genevieve, who was lying on the armrest of the chair and sitting on the pedestal, sleeping soundly. He listened to the music and looked at the heavy rain outside. Not seeing aligned suns, two moons and constellations to get inspiration from, but thinking about the past, present and future.After he gnawed the fruit, soon there was an attentive Skink waiter waiting at the side who seamlessly offered new fruit. He waved his hand and refused, expressing that he couldn't eat anymore.

The Great Pyramid of Iqi with special meaning has been vacant for a long time. There is neither Lord Slann to serve nor the mummy of Lord Slann to take care of. Only Dacus is the Umak of the ancient holy Iqi. Eligible to live in.

The underlying logical structure of these idle skinks was written when they were born in the hatching pool. That strange tune is not something that any skink can play casually, nor are they Holoto's skinks. Learning to farm the land usually only needs to maintain and hold various frequent ritual activities. They are happy to serve Umak of the ancient holy Ich, and each Skink waiter is very attentive and dedicated.

When Dacius was not thinking, he asked the old Skink Priest to tell stories. Don’t look at the Skink Priest who has never served Slan in his life, he is too old to walk, but when he told the story, Bel was full of energy !

The aged Skink Priest told Dacius an extremely outrageous story.
