Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 262 112. Ten Years
On the vast ocean, the torrential rain was like Marselan's roar, slamming hard on the vast sea surface, causing huge waves.

Dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, and the sea and sky are the same color, which seems to have lost its recognition.

The wind was fierce, and the howling wind seemed to come from all directions. The huge waves kept rolling, towering like mountains, and hit the fleet. The bottom is constantly bumping up and down, as if under the mercy of nature, it is writhing and jumping like a fragile toy.

The raindrops of the torrential rain turned into sharp arrows, like whiplashes overwhelming the sky.

The Drucci sailors, who were still active on the deck, struggled to grab the handrails and ropes and tried their best to maintain their balance.The howling wind mixed with the creaking of the hull, forming a mournful symphony.

In this dark and dangerous sea, lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating everything in the storm.Immediately the thunder sounded, like Marselan's majesty reverberating in the air, making his followers feel small and vulnerable in this endless water.

"Ten years! From Ulthuan to Bretonnia, from Lustria to Naggaroth, ten years!" Dacius sighed as he stood at the porthole looking at the pouring rain outside.

"What son of the storm?" Dacius frowned after sighing. He pondered for a while. It seemed that the timing of the departure of the Black Ark Fleet was not very good. Maybe we should wait for Naggaros to dissipate the sea of ​​resentment in spring. It's time to set off again, at least you don't have to face such bad weather, after all, typhoons or storms don't blow every day in the waters of Lustria.

At the same time, Dacius could also feel the power emanating from the holy soul reef on his chest, which was stronger than when he was on the underground sea route!It may be because he came to the sea, coupled with the terrifying storm, he always felt that the holy soul reef still had some hidden usages or functions that Molaige Hege didn't tell.But he doesn't want to go out to experiment now, the storm outside is really too big.The black ark that looked like an island was still sailing steadily without any bumps.

Dacius turned around and waved to Ren's daughter who was running and playing in the cabin with a smile. Ren's daughter staggered towards him with a smile and giggling. .He knelt down and hugged Ryan's daughter in his arms, and scratched Ryan's daughter's nose with the index finger of his left hand.

Ren's daughter has just learned to walk and can't speak yet. After teasing her for a while, Dacius carried her into the combat conference room.

In the conference room, five admirals from the Black Ark, four trainee admirals from the Nagor, and Instructor Lechkill surrounded the chart, and there were a large number of aides, adjutants, staff officers, and first mates, Drucci, They all saluted when they saw Dacius walking in with Ren's daughter in his arms.

Dacius didn't say anything, but raised his head to signal to continue. He continued to hold Ren's daughter in his arms and stood aside from the Drucci door, looking at the chart.He knew what the drutches were doing because he had called them together.

Although Dacius was the champion of Marselan and expressed to Malekith that he would take the position of Admiral Drucci, he didn't even know the basics of sailing, even the simplest things such as hanging hawsers and He doesn't even know the ropes, let alone how to command a marauder to fight.

What brought these Druccis who are good at fighting at sea together is that because of planning the next action, Malekith went back to the throne room and continued to shut himself up, but there are still many details to be finalized, such as The Black Ark Fleet is heading towards the mouth of the Kuiweiza River from the Broken Cape in the east of Lustria. Then the problem arises. How to make the three fleets arrive at the designated long and short deployment positions at the same time to encircle them? Advanced knowledge.

Another thing is to cultivate the professionalism of the trainee admiral and the captain of the preparatory plundering ship. When sailing in the underground sea, he has been studying the previous naval battles. The experience of combat at sea and the analysis of the weaknesses of the Azul Cousins ​​Navy for simulated confrontational command.

Dacius has inquired that in the past, Drucci's sea battles were usually single-jumped, with the black ark as the core, leading the predators and sea beasts to fight or intercept in the designated sea area, similar to this kind of battle that requires simultaneous coordination It rarely happened, and when they acted, they made a lot of fools because of various subjective and objective problems, and gave full play to Du Luqi's characteristics to blame each other for blame.

"Here!" Lechkill said, pointing to a spot on the chart with his putter.

Dacius looked at the position pointed by the putter. It is located in the city of rebirth, the sea area to the southeast of Huta and the northeast of the Giant Snake Smoke Island. Huta is also called the city of awakening. .

After the Duruccis present looked there, Lexikeer moved the putter and rowed across the strait between the Giant Snake Smoke Island and the Giant Snake Breath Island, and finally locked on the Lustria mainland and the southern Between the straits of the Giant Snake Mist Island.

"It seems that we have to go first." Dastan nodded and said to the admiral of the Mogar family standing beside him.

"Yes!" The admiral of the Mogar family leaned on the table and said seriously after looking at the chart for a while.

Following the admiral's voice, the low-level Drucci present began to calculate.They have to calculate the time needed to get there based on the speed of the fleet in the sea, and in addition to the harsh sea conditions, they also need to calculate the position of the fleet there before setting off after the advance fleet arrives.

Dacius calls it a work of art!On the contrary, he is like the kind of administrative bureaucratic general who sits in the office with a particularly high military rank. He doesn't know any professional skills and only knows to give orders.

While Dacus was watching and studying, Agileser pushed open the door of the throne room of the Temple of Viciousness and walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Naggarond's informant that Sirsis, the Lord of Fear, has suddenly disappeared from his mansion." Agileser bowed his head and said cautiously.

"What? Say it again?" Malekith, freed from memory and pain, didn't react at first, and for a moment he thought he was sitting in the throne room of Naggarond's own black tower.

"Your Majesty, Sirsis, the Lord of Fear, has suddenly disappeared! The exact reason for his disappearance has not yet been ascertained." Aguireser repeated.

"There's no need to check! Go and convey the news to Dacius." Malekith clenched his iron fist on the throne as he roared, his midnight armor burning like an open furnace.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Agileser bowed even lower, he knew His Majesty the Witch King's anger at this moment, and he didn't want to suffer His Majesty's anger for no reason, he said tremblingly.

"Come back!" Just as Agileser was about to leave the throne room, Malekith stood up from the throne and roared. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. At this moment, he really wanted to vent his anger by killing people.

"Your Majesty?" Aguireser knew he was going to suffer, maybe he couldn't get out of the throne room, or he could be carried out of the throne room in another way, he asked, but at this moment he had changed from trembling to Fear from the depths of the soul trembled.

"What are you afraid of? Am I that scary?" Malekith walked around the throne room, as if venting his anger, he walked up to Agileser, and grabbed Agiles with iron hands The collar of Sir's noble robe questioned, and then loosened the collar again.

Agileser lay on the ground and shrunk his body into a ball. At this moment, he didn't think that he was going to die, but envied Dacius. He didn't have a trace of jealousy. He really admired Dacius now!
"Go and find out! Is it just that Sirsis is missing? Or has the affairs presided over by Sirthis been destroyed? You don't need to tell me the result! Go tell Daxus directly!"

"What are you still doing lying here? Waiting for me to kill you?" Malekith knew that it was his restless mother's ghost, in order to avenge Drusala's prophecy during the Battle of Gorond However, he knew that Drusala's actions were not important, but that his quarrel with Ana Salara later angered his mother.

Malekith also knew that Dacius had given Hirssis a magic item. Since Hirssis was missing instead of dead, it meant that Hirssis might have arrived earlier than the Black Ark Fleet. Lustria?Either it was attacked by some magic and the bones disappeared, or it was dissolved by the corpse water of the Kane assassin.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Your Majesty!"

"This is all nonsense!" After Egyreser scrambled out of the throne room, Malekith angrily smashed his iron fist on the wall of the throne room to vent.
-
On the other side, in the city of the sun, Hesiota's Nantian Star Pyramid Square.

"My own people! My own people! Don't attack!" Ren has already ran over quickly, and kept shouting in lizard language while running.

The scarred veteran of the lizardmen standing guard and patrolling in the command square turned his head to recognize the sound after hearing the sound. He realized that he seemed to know the hot-blooded species in front of him, so he stopped the lizardmen's next actions.

Ren can now see clearly that it is Sirsis!Although he didn't know why Hirsi came here suddenly in this way, but when he saw Hirsi's bloody body, he knew that the matter must not be simple, and it was too late to exchange greetings. Negotiating with the Lizardman in front of Si.

Sirsis ignored the lizardman who was about to besiege him, and looked at Ren with a dazed expression. He knew that Ren had never appeared since returning to Karakarond with Dacius. Not to mention that he didn't participate in the Battle of Gorond, and Dacius's sister didn't expect Ren to come here. Thinking of this, he turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Colonia who was still walking slowly in this direction. .

Then Sirsis turned his attention to the majestic pyramid in front of him and the strange lizard man beside him, kept looking at it, and looked at Ren from time to time, listening to Ren's strange tone of voice that he couldn't understand if.

Ren's speech speed slowed down, from negotiating to greeting, he knew a few Skinks who came to watch, and he even painted portraits of two of them, after waiting for a while, he is currently in charge of managing Hesiota The Skink Priest Pichi Pochi heard the news and rushed over.

"Why are you here?" Pichipochi hissed while turning his head to look at Ren. Although the two hadn't had much contact with each other, he knew Ren and knew that Ren was Umac's servant.

"Praise the Old Sages! I am here to meet Lord Mazdamudy at the order of Umak." Ren explained to Pichipoch, and when he spoke, he noticed the change in Pichipoch's eyes. He knew that Mazdam Lord Damudi was watching him, and then he bowed his head to Pichipochi and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again, respected Lord Mazdamudi, the servant of Umak sends you the most cordial greetings .”

"Come with me, the place where you rested before your last visit is still vacant, and you rest there temporarily. My honorable master said that there is something going on with Spikazuma, and he needs to meet you later." Pichipochi said After turning around, he left.

Ren raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pichi Pochi's pretentious back, but he didn't say anything. He knew that each Skink was an independent individual with a different personality.

To put it bluntly, Ren is not familiar with Peach Podge, but he is good friends with Peach Podge's brother, Chupa Coco. His Lizardman language was taught by Chupa Coco, and Chupa Coco's elf language was taught by him. .Although Chupacoco is also a good friend of Dacius, this does not hinder the friendship between him and Chupacoco. After all, there is no distinction between races, and there is no conflict of interest.

"Follow me." Ren said, nodding at Sirsis.

It was still the small pyramid that Renn stayed in before, and when he came back here after a few years away, it was still dry, and it looked very clean. It must be cleaned by Skink attendants often.

Ren and Pichipochi explained some things. Pichipochi straightened up and moved his head back, as if confirming something to Ren. After seeing Ren nodding, Pichipochi also nodded, and then just left.

"This is where we rest temporarily. Maybe we need to stay for a while or a few days?" Ren said to the Druccis who were looking at him. He spread his hands and shrugged when he finished speaking. He was about to start dismantling his armor, but his mouth didn't stop because of the movement, but continued, "It's very safe here, you can sleep safely, and you don't have to worry about mosquito bites. There will be wood brought over later, we Clothes can be dried."

Then Ren turned his gaze to Sirsis, and Colonia also turned his gaze to Sirthis. They seemed to be waiting for something.

Sirsis didn't say anything, but looked at the guards of the Hell's Scourge family.

The family guards looked at each other after being stared at, and soon they realized that there must be a reason for Sirsis' strange appearance, and they knew that it was time for them to leave temporarily.

"Adreze! I've been attacked, and there are Morathi's assassins in my mansion!" Sirsis said in an almost roaring tone, and then he told Ren and Colonia What happened after the two of them left, including Dacius recruiting a transfer army, the process of the Battle of Gorond, and the conflict between Dacius and Moras, and then Dacus had told him that he needed to pay attention It's safe.

Hirsis is always on the lookout, and the number of followers and guards has tripled when he usually does things. He is not afraid of others saying that he is ostentatious or timid. He doesn't care. His power comes from His Majesty the Witch King and the Witch King. Not that gossip!But be on the safe side, he still followed Morathi's advice, there was actually an assassin belonging to Morathi among the servants of Drucci in his mansion!And there's more than one!There are actually three!
After a desperate battle and being besieged, Hirsis could only crush the amulet given to him by Dacius at the last moment. Fortunately, there were no other people in the mansion. Dorian and Julian's His mother had passed away a long time ago, and Julian was not in Naggarond. His Majesty the Witch King had appointed to take Julian with him before departure. At this time, Julian was on the Black Ark Fleet.

"Looks like we missed a good show, but maybe your throat needs some treatment."

Sirsis glared at Colonia. Although the scar on his neck was his pride, he didn't like people making fun of his scar.

"She's right. There are the best life mages in the Lustria continent. Do you know Bainie?" Ren saw Sirsis' eyes, and he said casually, taking off his clothes while talking. Clothes, there is no such thing as male-female defense between Durucci and the saying that you can't show your breasts. Except for important occasions, there is no difference between female Durucci and not wearing them at other times, and now she is still going out.

"The black tower master with the broken arm? Yes, his arm is back to normal. I saw him when I was in Gorond, and he killed a Chaos Demon! I thought he died somewhere In the corner, I didn’t expect that after his hand was broken, he went to Krakarond to find the Hand of the Witch King, so he must be healed here! The sorceresses of Naggaroth are not good at this, they are only good at secretly Manipulate people's hearts, engage in some conspiracies and tricks!" Hirsis said firmly, and then began to get angry, and when he said it, he glanced at Colonia.

When Dacius was away, these Druccis fully exposed their true nature.

Colonia snorted coldly, did not say anything, but began to take off the outermost silk robe.

"Why are you here? Those were lizardmen just now?" Sirsis saw Ren and Colonia undressing in front of him, and he also began to take off his noble robes, asking casually while taking them off .

"We came here because of the order of the Witch King's Hand, as for the others..." Ren said, but he didn't say the last word, he paused and continued, "The lizardmen outside are all the Witch King's Hands of... friends? Yes, friends and partners."

"Although you are here too, my younger brother told me repeatedly before departure that I have to listen to Ren." Colonia stopped moving, looked at Sirsis and said seriously, she didn't want to because of Hillis The appearance of Sith caused the original actions to go wrong, one for her brother and the other for herself, and her curse began to intensify again.

"Hey, respect me, okay? I'm the Lord of Dread! I'm not that stupid! I know how to measure! Also, our interests are the same as those of our enemies!" Sirsis released his nature, after all, there is no As an outsider, he doesn't need to maintain any personality.

Hirsis was still taking off his noble robe at first, but in the end he just tore it up. There is no need to wear noble robes here, and the noble robes were already tattered during the battle. If there is no innermost sea dragon skin Kaitan blocked it a few times, but he couldn't come here.

"I still have two spare robes." After Ren finished speaking, he walked out and called back the family guards standing outside the pyramid.

After waiting for a while, a group of skink attendants came, carrying wood, food, and fur carpets. One of the skinks handed over a heavy satchel and a bag of insect repellent powder to Ren.

"Is this Holoto's weaving handicraft?" Ren asked the skinny waiter after weighing the cloth bag.

"Yes."

After the Skinks left, the family guards lit up the fire, and as the gas from the campfire was discharged through the ventilated intersection, the Duruccis sat around the campfire and warmed up.

Ren took out a red guava from the fruit basket and threw it to Sirsis.

"Red guava, very sweet, chewy and soft and sweet, but it needs to be cut and eaten." After Sirsis took it, Ren chewed the dried insect and said, he found that the dried insect was really hungry. He couldn't taste or smell now anyway, and he didn't care anymore.

After speaking, Ren took out chunks of gold from the satchel on his body and handed them to a family guard beside him.

The family guard looked at the gold in shock. He couldn't hold the food in his hand and fell to the ground. Although he was greedy and eager in his heart, he didn't dare to pick it up. The gold was too big and expensive.

Sirsis's movement of holding the serrated dagger to cut the red guava also stopped.

"Take it, this is your trophy from Krakalund all the way here." When Ren said, he tossed the gold in his hand again, then forced it into the hands of the family guards, and then took it out of the satchel He took out a ruby ​​the size of an egg and handed it to the family guard.

Ren knew that Dacius' generosity would give these family guards more rewards after the mission. He did not do this to buy people's hearts. He just wanted to appease these family guards who saw the gold and demoralized Let's face it, he knows Truucci's passion and love for gold too well. Nothing can inspire Truucci's morale better than gold. He doesn't want to make mistakes in the last step of the mission and cause some embarrassing troubles.

"Miss? This?" The family guard held the gold and precious stones tightly in his trembling hands, but his remaining rationality stopped him here. He didn't dare to put them in his arms. When he said it, he asked for help. He looked at the eldest lady of the family with longing eyes.

"Are there a lot? Don't you see the gold decorations everywhere on the buildings after entering the city? Those lizard people are not wearing brass, they are all gold! This is Lustria, not Naggaroth, and this is the least What is missing is gold! After the matter is over, with the generosity of Mr. Dacius, he will give more than this!" Ren said indifferently.

"You deserve it." Colonia just glanced at it casually and said casually. She then looked at Sirsis and said, "Let's make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I bet that my younger brother will give them generous rewards after completing their missions, but that's not important. The important thing is that I bet my younger brother will separate them from the Calamity of Hell family and serve as Ren's followers. , and become a retainer of the Takaya family." Colonia said with a smile.

"No betting! Sorry! Not interested!" Sirsis rolled her eyes and refused three times, then lowered her head and continued to deal with the red guava in her hand.

Sirsis also knew Dacius well, he knew Dacius's generosity, and Dacius had a high chance of doing this, so why did he take such a bet that he would lose?And Colonia is obviously teasing him, and he doesn't need to maintain a good relationship with Colonia. The Hand of the Witch King is Colonia's younger brother, not Colonia, he is not a fool, he is The words of a fool can't be confused with today's status.

Colonia shrugged uninterestedly, and continued to eat food while watching Ren constantly take out gold and gems from the satchel, and at the same time, she was also feeling the strong wind of magic in the city.

Although they are only the guards of the Calamity of Hell family, they can only stand guard and train when they are not fighting, but they are all carefully selected from the troops of Krakalund, and they are not fools. So smart, all they're missing is an opportunity!
At first, the family guards were terrified when they heard the eldest lady say that they would break away from the disaster family of hell, and then they became ecstatic. They knew that the rewards for their efforts along the way were so rich, and they got a valuable opportunity.They all know who is the core and who has influence in the family. It is self-evident for Ren to be the confidant of Master Dacius, and along the way, they also recognize Ren's ability and character.

Nothing happened overnight. Although it was very safe here, Rennes arranged a night watch rotation out of caution.

Ren may have eaten too many bugs, and the heat couldn't dissipate. He couldn't sleep, leaning against the smooth wall of the pyramid aisle, thinking, sometimes looking at Hesiota, which was baptized by the heavy rain, and sometimes looking at nothing. In the distance, the voice in his mind was calling him to go in that direction.

It may be because of being with Dacius, Ren now feels that he really doesn't care about money. He really cared about it before. Before he was a hundred years old, he had been living in poverty and embarrassment. There is no Takaya family. If it weren't for their other uncle who has some relationship with the Hell's Calamity family and can follow the Vicious Temple to participate in the raid, perhaps the Takaya family would have died out long ago.

Ren thought of his parents, and the lunatic uncle who was killed by their three siblings. Their other uncle knew about the situation of the uncle who was killed by their three siblings. He didn't blame them, but thought they were the hope of family revival. Putting the only Sovereign left in the family into the cultivation of the three brothers and sisters, even the family's ancestral house has been unable to be properly repaired for a long time.

Renn has never even participated in the Haksier trial voyage as an adult, let alone the family trial. The first time he traveled by boat was with Dacius. He clearly remembered his brother before he set off. Wearing the only good armor left in the family on him, that armor seems to have dispelled his inferiority complex, brought him infinite courage and pride, and allowed him to hold his head up in front of Dacius.After that?

The ten years following Dacius were the most meaningful ten years in Ren's life. He felt that the gods favored him and the Takaya family. In his eyes, Dakuus is not Drucci in the traditional sense. He does not feel pain and hatred in Dakuus, and Dachius possesses qualities that Drucci does not have, such as generosity, kindness and Goodwill, he has never even seen Dacius vent his anger on his subordinates, he will take the lead in every battle, lead them to fight bravely, and consider them, rewarding them with a lot of property and magic items.

This is the first time that Dacius has confessed such an important matter to Ren, as Dacus said, this is a trial about him, if he wants to succeed, he must succeed!He didn't want to be the first to face Dacius' anger, he couldn't bear it, neither could the three siblings, let alone the Takaya family.

"I'm not interested in money."

What Dacius once said became the portrayal of Ren's heart. He was numb. He had seen a temple city whose buildings were all made of gold. He saw inexhaustible gold and precious stones. , although he can only get a little bit, but it is enough, the current Takaya family is not short of wealth at all!There is no lack of power, it would be even better if Dacius liked his sister, what a pity!
The sound of footsteps behind him interrupted Ren's thoughts.

"Can't sleep?" Sirsis leaned against the other side of the wall and sighed.

"Can't sleep!" Ren turned his head to look at Sirsis and said, he thought of something, and then asked, "Have you changed your faith?"

"Yes, I now serve my lord, the lord of blades, Azred." Sirsis said proudly, puffing out his chest, and then sighed, "After the battle of Gorond, I suddenly realized that It's not that important? Don't you also believe in the Lord of Blades?"

"No! I used to believe in the God of Bloody Hands, and occasionally praised the God of Deceit, but now I believe in the Old Sage, and the Old Sage responded to me!" Ren pointed to his head and said with a smile, he turned around and patted Pat Hirsis on the shoulder, and then said, "Let's rest, I have a hunch that there will be big events tomorrow. There are three such magnificent cities in the Lustria Continent, and I have been to two of them. The rain is so heavy that I can see everything." not reach."

Ren walked into the aisle as he spoke, his voice getting weaker and weaker in Sirsis' ears.

Sirsis looked at Hesiota in the heavy rain and sighed, then turned around and went back to rest.

The next day, after the Duruccis had breakfast, Pichipochi told them to go to the square of the Southern Star Pyramid.

"It will be the end of this journey in a while! No matter what you see next, don't lose your dignity! Remember! We are all servants of the great ancient saint Ichiumak when we get here, don't embarrass the Hand of the Witch King! "Ren stood there looking at Sirsis, Colonia and the family guards and said solemnly.

After standing for a while, a teleportation magic flashed.

"Has the rain stopped?" Ren blocked his eyes with his hands, he couldn't help thinking because he couldn't adapt to the glare of the light for a moment.

The City of Lens, Spikazuma, and the Great Pyramid of Ancient St. Izzy. Lord Mazdamurdi sits on Chengyu and looks down at the Druccis teleported to the square. On his left is the City of the Moon, Tarax On the right is the second-generation Slann lord Adoshi-Tehega of Lan, and on the right is the city of mist, the third-generation Slann lord of Slanmupek, Wa-Wah.
