Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 158 8. On the Road

Dacius also noticed that there was a weird copper wire tripod on the low sofa, with a snake head on it. This snake head didn't seem to be a snake head in the traditional sense, but a kind of snake head with wisdom?The nose had been cut off so neatly that he hadn't recognized it just now, and the eerie trophy was placed on a copper wire tripod, with its open head pointed at the ceiling of the roof.

"This is the trophy I got from Kurish. A naga? Snake man? Don't look at this strange snake head, she has the ability to cast spells! According to the high-ranking warlock on board, this can only be a blood naga Queen's attendant." Colonia, who was pouring wine, turned her head and said flatly.

"Awesome!" Malanur had already squatted down, stretching his head to look at this inexplicable snake head, and after a while, he said something perfunctory in a mediocre manner.

"Drink some wine, do you need me to use magic to heat the wine?" Colonia squatted down and put the goblet full of wine on the small table.

The Dacius brothers were already sitting on the low sofa, and Maranul carefully placed the copper wire tripod on the floor.Dacius, observing Colonia, saw that Colonia's smooth, pale left arm was covered with an intricate tattoo of tightly woven loops and spirals, extending from the tip of her index finger to the her elbow.For a split second his mind was full of wriggling snakes, wriggling, entangled dark shapes moving in and out of his brain, leaving long tunnels of dark shadows behind them.

After Colonia placed the drinks, she took the copper wire tripod and sat on the ground. Under the watchful eyes of the Dacius brothers, she took out a delicate bronze brush from the side of the snake man's head, and looked after herself. The snake's head brushed itself up and under the dim candle light, it was so shiny!Dacius and the two brothers looked at each other, a little puzzled. As for the wine poured into the goblet, neither of the brothers touched it.

"Wait a minute, it's ready!" After Colonia finished speaking, she licked the tip of the bronze brush with her delicate pink tongue, and then put the bronze brush in a box on her waist.She held the snake's head and stood up gracefully, admiring her own work with an exaggerated expression, then gritted her teeth and said to the snake's head, "I'm very dissatisfied with you! I hate you! You damn stupid snake!", then As she spoke, the tattoo on her arm seemed to sharpen, and then began to move, like a snake coiled around her arm.

"Are you sure this is your sister? Seems like she is? Is she not sick? I don't know, should we leave?" The two Dacus brothers looked at Colonia's strange behavior and looked at each other. The eyes began to communicate frantically.

It was a bit of a joke, but Dacius didn't worry about his safety at all, at least the organ stone fragments on his body didn't react.Infighting within the family is prohibited, and it is strictly forbidden to use any method or form to cause harm to the children of the family, at least no one dared to do so while Annasara mother and son were still there.The children of the family can't get exercise?Where there is excitement to be had in Drutch society, there is no need to play within the family.Nucker's adjutant like him doesn't even have a family member who dares to be weird to him at the banquet in the dining area.

"That damn stupid snake cursed me before it died!" Colonia put the snake's head in the display case by the wall, she walked back gracefully, and sat down, her vivid light Looking at the Dacius brothers with blue eyes, he stretched out the tattooed left arm and said.

"Isn't this tattoo so big at the beginning? As time goes by, this tattoo gradually expands?" Dacius asked curiously while leaning on the low sofa. He felt a little uncomfortable. This discomfort did not come from the opposite side of him. It's not this strange tattoo and curse, but the height of this low sofa.

"Yes, my brother, and I can feel that this tattoo is sucking my vitality. The patriarch helped me prepare a potion to relieve it a little bit, but the curse is still growing." Colonia's head drooped Going down, said with some frustration.

Kind of cliche isn't it?How did Dacius know?Because young master Newkel gave him detailed information.

"My sister, what about this arm? Can't it be cut?" Maranul asked cautiously and tentatively.

"Then I will die too, this curse connects my soul." Colonia adjusted her emotions, looked up at Maranul and said with a wry smile.

But Dacius felt that his cousin's exquisite face with a wry smile was like sweet poison, with a faint twist and an insatiable curiosity.

"We are family, my sister, what can I do for you?" Malanur asked directly.

"To be honest, I don't know either. The clan mother told me that maybe you have a solution, my brother." Colonia raised her head, looked at Dacius and said seriously.

Dacius didn't say anything, but got up and stood up, walked to the candlestick next to the wall display cabinet and lit the tobacco. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he picked up a white fork bell and rang it. The white material seemed to be like ivory. The arrhythmic sound of the fork bell seemed to bring some kind of madness and death, and he shook it a few more times until he was stopped by Maranul.

"Do you mind?" Dacus turned around and asked, he didn't ask if he could smoke, but he liked it quite a bit, maybe the lizard people would like it more?Who knows?
"You can take whatever you like in this room, I don't mind, as long as you don't take things from the laboratory bench."

Dacius came back again with the fork bell, but this time he did not choose to sit on the low sofa, which was really tormented. The low sofa was originally used to curl up and half lie down.He lay on the back of the low sofa and shook the ivory fork bell in Malanur's ear, and soon the two brothers started fighting.

Maranul snatched the ivory fork bell cursingly and then went to light the tobacco.

"Since the patriarch told you so, don't have illusions about Moras's mother and child." Dacius said lightly after taking a puff, exhaling the smoke.

After Dacius finished speaking, the whole room was silent, only the firewood in the fireplace was hissing and burning.

"Maybe there are two places that can help you solve the problem, but maybe neither of those two places can help you solve the problem. We are family members! If it doesn't work, we'll go to Kurish and chop up that blood naga queen!" Da Seeing that there was no response, Keus continued.

"As long as there is hope! My brother, I am good at divination, enchanting and alchemy. I am best at using plants to refine painkillers and antidotes. I am proficient in shadow and dark magic." Colonia stood up gracefully, looking at Dacius said seriously.

Dacius nodded, and took out the prepared gifts from his bosom, a flannel bag filled with Lustria gems, a piece of organ stone fragments, and a bottle of highly corrosive water extracted from the mouth of an ancient salamander. liquid.

"Then do me a little favor first, take out the flammable substance in this liquid, and see if there is a way to synthesize it, and if not, see if there is any similar substance."

There were no investment requests, no midnight meetings, no secret meetings under the shroud of darkness to make decisions affecting the family or Krakalund, and no Colonia lounging on the low sofa to say anything. We haven't seen each other for a long time, stay here with me for a while, you and I have a lot to do or something like that.

The three siblings chatted for a while, and the two brothers left.

"We are family! If it doesn't work, we'll go to Kulish and chop off that blood Naga queen!" Malanur kept repeating this sentence like a repeater on the way back, with exaggerated expressions and exaggerated behavior.

"Fuck off!"

"My dear brother, you are so domineering when you say this! You are right, we are family!" Maranul said seriously when he was about to say goodbye, and he patted Dacius on the shoulder. Separated.

Dulias looked through the list of trophies, but there was no blood statue of Gilgardresh in it.

One sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released.

Dacus suggested that Young Master Newkel should simply invite more children from the family and powerful people to attend classes. Young Master Newkel accepted this suggestion after thinking for a long time.Soon some outstanding family children selected from the list and the children of the Mogar, Godrich, Takaya, and Thorn families came.For three hours every afternoon, Young Master Newkel started talking about the period when the first Phoenix King Aenarion fought against the Chaos Demons during the great invasion, and then talked about the summary of several elven civil wars and the battle against the Huns in the north.

Those family children are not restrained in the face of Young Master Nukel, does this have something to do with Dacius?It would be interesting enough for him to let these family children listen to the top strategy and tactics masters in Du Luqi society.He is earnestly recording, studying and absorbing, whether it is to command the Drucci Legion or the Lizardman Legion in the future, it will benefit a lot. The knowledge taught by Mr. Newkel is very advanced, from the perspective of strategy and tactics, and Not stick to a certain form.

"On the utility of magic and air supremacy in traditional warfare?"

The difference from the previous world of Dacius is that the Middle Ages and the New World talk about magic and air supremacy, and the combat is more three-dimensional, just like the time when the Black Ark was captured.This is not a game, the flying units in the air must move within the range of the ground's long-range attack.The breath of the giant dragon outside the shooting limit range of the ground long-range weapon will cause great personnel and morale damage to the ground troops, and the lizardman pterosaur mounts the kind of stone bomb with strong destructive ability for high-altitude throwing.The same large-scale magic has no countermeasures. If it is successfully released, the effect will also be devastating, such as dark abyss, flame storm, and sharp blade wind.

But this does not mean that the ground troops are completely useless. The number of giant dragons is limited, and there is always a time when the breath is exhausted. The pterosaurs always have stone bombs?Stone bombs could be infinite?After the wind of magic is exhausted, it will be the ground troops. At the end of the fight, it depends on which side of the ground troops is stronger. In a chaotic battle, dragons can also be stabbed to death by spears. The black dragon Sulek before Malekith is Caledon threw a spear into his mouth and pierced his head to death. Of course, the spear was a magic item.

Durucci is just the opposite of the Lizardman. The extreme army of Drucci has been fighting for more than 5000 years, and the far and near combat system is complete, so it is the best right now.Everything that can be done has been done in the past [-] years. Dacius is not an all-rounder, and it is not necessary for him to be clever and come up with some ingenious things, such as backpacks, military water bottles, and small items such as Maza. He is wearing pants now. I'm also very satisfied, at least when I ride the Cold One, I don't rub my inner thighs.There is no need to carry out any military reforms, and the whole "Dacius' mule" will come out.As for some other daily necessities and playthings, there is no need to make them. Who is the big and small king of the whole poker? Who are J, Q, and K?Isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself?He discussed these issues with Young Master Newkel several times, and finally came to the conclusion that the number of Drucci is not enough, and the number of slaves is even less!

Instead, it's the Lizardman's fallen empire. There are still a few rotten Lustrian behemoth combat platforms in the family warehouse, but Dacius has no plans to put the Reaper Ballista on it now. .He arranged several research tasks for the family's forging workers, namely to study the structure of the Ossinite stone, to study the gold structure of the Chakua shield in a physical way, to forge the black steel plate armor with gold inlaid on the outside, and to strengthen the sawtooth sword. damage capability.He doesn't have a suit of armor that really belongs to him yet, he'll have to find a way to get one, and maybe the Orsinite Stone will help.

As for placing the Reaper Ballista on the combat platform, Dacius will do it when he returns to the Lustria continent. He has to adjust the shooting angle, and if it doesn't work, he can place it flat.The back of the Triceratops's head was relatively weak, and he didn't want an enemy to jump on the combat platform and use the Reaper Ballista to shoot the entire back of the Triceratops into the soul.

In his spare time, Dacius took his dignitaries and Genevieve to the market to relax, trying to find treasures again, but it might not be the right time, and they only found some handicrafts, nothing useful, so they could only be used as For decoration.Perhaps influenced by his legend, when he was shopping, he met a lot of rich and powerful children of Krakalund shopping there, buying and selling by force, which made him not very interested.

Although Geneviève is the image of a 16-year-old blonde girl in Bretonnia, she has lived for hundreds of years and has seen a lot. She is not affected by morality. She has only a little sympathy for the slaves in cages , and then there was no more, and she didn't say anything about the Virgin to Dacius, but instead looked at the two black arks that had been frozen on the sea for a long time on the Nagares Bridge.

"Maybe Naggaroth is not as scary as you say?"

"Because in addition to my identity as the ancient sage Umak, I also have the identity of an outstanding child of the Karakarond Hell Calamity family. When you go to the north and arrive at the real Naggaroth, you don't think so. Let's go. It's kind of cold in here."

Soon, this winter is over.

Daxus has ushered in his No.20 second spring, there is no warm wind blowing, bringing new life, development and prosperity, and there is no Black Ridge Mountain Range on the upper reaches of the Red Poison River waking up from its slumber, more The wheat seedlings in the fields are like girls playing in spring, dancing their green clothes gracefully.No, nothing, nothing, only the dark clouds in the sky and the erupting volcanoes from time to time, Krakalund is so depressed that he can't breathe all year round.

There are still those familiar old faces, the two Malanur siblings, the three Takaya siblings, Walter, Carleen, and Genevieve from the Thorn family.There are also the pirates of Naika's cold-eyed family, but Naika's pirates, Dacius, have been arranged to exercise with the ship.As for Almir?The family was pregnant, stayed in Krakalund and lived in the Castle of Nightward and was protected. Her older brother and younger brother went out, and the cold-eyed family and the Takaya family became deserted and empty again.

There are also some half-old faces, Garros from the Godrich family (the child is still young and ignorant), Cowell from the Mogar family (appeared on the holiday of Krakalund), and Erns from the disaster family Te and Selyre.These Druch dignitaries are either Maranul's retinue or Dacius' retinue. They will follow the two Dacus brothers to Naggarond to exercise and see what the Yankee's little shock is. Kind of.

"I knew I was going to Naggarond as an adjutant, so I brought the big guy back. Maybe I don't have to go out to fight as an adjutant? Who knows?" Dacius smoked on the Black Ark Vicious Temple. Yan paced back and forth thinking, his original plan was to go to the old world after returning from Lustria, stay in Krakalund for a while, go to the Sea of ​​Claws and land from the Nords of the empire, and go to the old witch first. Visit the place where Heliben was born, then go to Lauren Loren, and then go all the way south to see if he, the elf gods, can play around in Aslaine. The vampire war on the empire's side is probably also started As a result, he is now going to Naggarond as an adjutant.

The current Cold Lizards are all brought back from Lustria. These little pricks are a little bit stupid, but they can barely communicate. Dacius also specially arranged for these stupid pears to wear lizard armor Big and plush, he was worried that these stupid pears would not be able to resist the cold in the north. Of course, he also prepared some thick kaitans and fleece pants that were easy to move. He also changed his boots. He didn't want to freeze his feet.

During the first elven civil war in Ulthuan, the power that Malekith attempted to disintegrate the maelstrom was backlashed back to Nagareth, and that huge energy caused devastating damage to Nagareth.Many cities and fortresses near the sea were protected by powerful magic and were lucky enough to survive the onslaught of the tsunami while other surrounding lands were disintegrated or washed away by the tsunami.The elves that supported Malekith floated on the furious waves like islands without moorings, and the cities and strongholds carried the elves of Nagaryth like arks.

The elves of the Ark were faced with a choice, either abandon their drifting haven and surrender themselves to the mercy of the other elves in Ulthuan, or strengthen themselves and survive on their own.Durucci chose the road of resistance, erected a huge mast and cast magic, turning the fragments into ocean-going fortresses. From then on, the Black Ark was born, and the Black Ark also turned the elves of Nagareth into Durucci.

Dacius passed through the gate, and in front of him was a low cavern, full of bustle, like a small market square.Pirates, soldiers, slaves mingled with each other.Huge lights burn from stone pillars set at intervals in the square.Chilling lights do little to dispel the darkness in the vast space, casting Durucci and the market stalls in eerie shadows.

"It's like living in a tomb!" Dacius suddenly longed to breathe fresh air, letting the howling wind and weak sunlight lighten his body.

This is the Black Ark Vicious Temple, and it is still in the dark underground sea at this time. There are a large number of plunderers opening the way in front, followed by a black ark, which is the Soul Claw of the Mogar family.

Dacius turned left on the square, the halo of light cut off from the hustle and bustle of Drucci, and reached a wide slope that snaked upwards into the shadows.A group of guards stood at the bottom of the ramp, taking Sovereign from Durucci, who was moving up and down the bend.It seemed that Durucci had to pay a toll to pass through, so he walked over with his followers, and when the guards saw him and his followers, they immediately moved out of the way respectfully.

Walking along the winding road, Dacius felt no different from climbing the curved spiral staircase of Drucci Minaret, except that it took nearly half an hour to reach each floor, and soon he and his followers came to To a small deserted square, and then into a dark side passage deep in black marble, this dark road is as smooth and smooth as a road, but emits a bad smell, it seems to be like a smell of horse dung .The narrow embedded doors and shutters would pass by every once in a while. For Daxus, it was no different from walking in the civilian area of ​​Krakalund. Occasionally, there were familiar sounds in the air, and the crackling of whips And the rattle of the chains, the screams and angry yells, and the violent crash of the cage being shut.

"That's right! That's the smell!" Dacius and his followers walked, walked, and walked aimlessly, getting dizzy. I wanted to take a walk and see what this five-kilometer-long floating object on the sea looked like. This was really eye-opening!

After walking for a while, as the block deepened, various buildings in the shape of blocks and thick-walled fortresses were separated by narrow and dirty alleys. Inside should be a slave concentration area, which can accommodate up to several Thousands of slaves, and provide a training ground for the slaves in the House of Flesh battle pit aboard the Malevolent Temple.But the inside was a bit empty at this time, and there must be no programs and consumption just after going out to sea for a surprise attack, and Drucci on board had to suffer for a while.

Dacius was ready to go in and take a look with curiosity. Under the warm hospitality of the steward of the slave master concentration area, he entered a showroom. The steward, Drucci, trotted in front of him, introducing him with a gracious expression.Inside are pillars of polished marble to shine, each with polished black steel manacles for displaying items.

Beyond the showroom is a long and narrow corridor, where a series of training rooms can be seen.In each room stood one or more pairs of slaves, who were being taught various martial arts by the frowning Instructor Drucci.As Dacius passed through one of the rooms, he heard a miserable scream and followed it to one of the instructors who was demonstrating different methods of weakening an opponent by severing the tendons of emaciated human slaves.

"What kind of broken wall, three floors inside, three floors outside, like a maze."

Soon, Dacius left after turning around. It was getting late, and it was time for him to go back. He only visited a small part of the upper deck of the Vicious Temple this afternoon.
