Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 273 123. Abstract Dreamland

"It's corridors and stairs again! There's no end!" Dacius cursed while thinking.

Every door leads to the same room, over and over again, as if the same scene is stuck, and it keeps replaying in Dacius' mind.The only difference was the sound of chasing his footsteps, which seemed to come a little closer to him each time.

The thunderous footsteps were like the sound of giants walking, and by virtue of the omniscience of his dream, Dacius knew that when the footsteps finally came to him, he would have to rattle, not wake up.

It's just a matter of time!
After a while, the sound of chasing footsteps gradually disappeared, and a fog quickly appeared in the corridors and stairs. The fog became thicker and thicker, and filled Dacius' surroundings.The fog had no discernible shape, just a mass of flowing condensed air, moved by a strange wind.

"Boat!?" Dacius looked at the traces in the mist with some surprise.

That's Dastan's ship!
It was the plundering ship that Dacius took part in the voyage of the Haksie Trials.

Dacius saw the pale and expressionless Dacius standing on the deck of the ship and looking at him icily, other crew members and soldiers also gradually appeared from the silhouette, when the ship rubbed shoulders with Dacius And in the past, he could see every Drucci looking at him with cruel and resentful eyes as if they were already dead, as if resenting that he was responsible for their deaths.

Dacius saw Dastan standing stiffly in front of the rudder, turning a blind eye to everything around him, and kept directing the direction of the ship.He saw Ren lying on the fence of the deck, Alyssa and Flanais standing behind, as well as the pirate captain Naika, the centurion Edmund, and the animal trainer Carleen. There was no respect and restraint in the eyes of the past, but only endless cruelty and resentment. They couldn't help but jump over and tear him into pieces, and put them into their mouths to chew.

"Is this the way others look at me? Or the me before? Which one is the real me? This is in a dream, maybe everything is reversed? No! Why do I see them from so far away? Eyes? Is there any strange existence that wants to plant a seed of suspicion in my heart?" When Dacius saw the Duluqi and the others on the opposite side, his heart seemed to be stung.He tried to raise his hand and waved to greet the Druccis, but he couldn't raise his arm.

Dacius watched helplessly as his ghostly self gradually receded from him until he was engulfed in the mist again.He looked around and found that he was also on a plundering ship. If his judgment was correct, it was also Dastan's ship, but there was no one on the ship at this time, and he could not even perceive whether the ship was sailing or berth.

The last sail on the ship was furled silently, and Dacius could feel the ship slowing down against the wind and waves.The ship rose in the rough white water, and then as the ship dived over the crest, he felt the speed of the ship, as if the ship were a carriage parked on top of a high mountain.

Dacius felt that his bile had been released, but no matter how the ship moved against physics, he still stood in place, his body was fixed like a wax figure in a wax museum.

After a while, the ship began to fall rapidly, falling down, falling down, falling forever, as if Dacius stayed in this dimension forever.

The mist shrouded Dacius again, he staggered in place, his hands kept grabbing to his chest, he was looking for the holy soul reef hanging around his neck, but it seemed that he was in a dream Because of this, the holy soul reef disappeared from his neck.He was worried that the part where his feet were connected to the deck of the ship would suddenly be disconnected, and then he would be thrown overboard like an empty oak barrel, falling into the raging storm outside the ship, and his heart would be lifted as the fall accelerated. To the throat.

After a while, Dacius felt the sinking ship stop suddenly, and the mist gradually receded like the morning fog.He still couldn't see anything but the scream and howl of the wind, but he couldn't feel it blowing in his face.

It seems that the boat under Dacius' feet has entered another outer dimension. The boat is constantly twisting. When the hull is not moving, the bow of the boat is first twisted in one direction, and then in another direction, as if The ship is trapped in four different dimensions at the same time, full of eerie and grotesque.

What really horrified Dacius was that it seemed like the whole world was wobbling, as if he was standing on the edge of another lucid dream.He fought the dream with all his rage, yelling, roaring, snarling and venting.

With Dacius' catharsis, everything stopped, the wind blew over, there was no one on board, only he existed, his feet could leave the deck, but he could only keep walking in place.

A vague figure appeared on the deck, squatting on the deck holding a brass bowl in one hand and a brush engraved with elven runes in the other.The wind blew thin condensed threads from the surface of the bowl, and the figure kept drawing blue-gray stripes on the deck.The figure didn't seem to notice Dacius, and was engrossed in the matter at hand.

The figure squatting on the deck began to slowly turn in place, using a brush to draw a small circle on the deck around the figure.

"Now, you can ask!" After everything was done, the figure's cold eyes turned to Dacius, staring at Dacius like an owl.

"Like a dead man in a tomb suddenly got up to answer three questions?" Dacius smiled coldly. Although he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman from the figure's mouth, he seemed to know who it was in front of him. It's great, but why is it here?This is the territory of the lizard people!Could it be that when he was sleeping, Malekith was doing something to make the spirit network fluctuate?

"Time is running out." The blurry figure didn't answer Dacius' question that seemed to be a joke, but stared at Dacius and said something.

"How can a prophet see the future?" Dacius asked.

"Because there is no such thing." The figure blinked and said.

"A boring riddle! Maybe this is our second meeting? Tell me something practical!" Dacius said with a smile.

"Then listen and learn. Imagine that you are standing in the middle of the river." The figure stood up and said slowly. After observing Dacius' state, he paused and continued, "In the middle of the river, you know that the water will Flowing down your waist. Your only point of reference is where you stand on the river bed, and everything else is in motion, changing moment to moment before your eyes, which is how most mortals perceive the passage of time."

"I'll try!" Dacius frowned, thinking along the words of the figure, but he didn't follow the words of the figure.

"Now, imagine stepping out of a river and standing on the bank after your anchor has changed. You can look back at the river and see its course in both directions. If you want, you can glimpse a floating log and Trace its course along the flowing stream. You can see where it came from and where it is going, because you can see it the whole way. This is how the seer perceives the future, by changing perspective and accepting the whole of existence .”

"Isn't this how a prophet can change his perspective?" Dacius started to question when he noticed something was wrong.

"If a person were to step out of the realm of the physical world, he could look back at the river of life and see where it was going. Or, if he was possessed by a spirit powerful enough, he might see visions, even the future, and you It happens to be able to do it!" The figure was silent for a long time, looking at Dacius intently, and then said slowly after a long time.

Suddenly, the figure disappeared in place, the wind gradually expanded into a low roar, and the mist reappeared, and Dacius heard the pure sound of the ship's bell echoing from the mist.

Through the fog that hadn't yet condensed into a solid, Dacius found that the scene in front of him had changed again. He saw the rough outline of the railing, and then the deck of another ship, with debris scattered on it, in disrepair and dilapidated .The planks were warped and moldy, and the fittings were covered in rust and grime.

Dacius saw a scrawny figure crawling towards him on the deck, wearing ragged clothes, sniffing the air like an animal.The other turned to look at him, and he saw the figure pointing at him, then raised his head and let out a melodious wail of losing his mind or hope.The ragged figure was engulfed in mist before he could see more.

Finally, Dacius was awakened by Drusala.

Dacius sat on the ground, he needed to calm down to dispel the terrifying chill brought by the dream. Although this dream was not as strong as before, it was still so obvious that it made him worry that he had finally crossed a certain threshold and fell I fell into a nightmare woven by a strange existence.To make matters worse, he had more and more strange dreams, each stronger and more terrifying than the previous one.

"A world where death is terrible and life is uncomfortable."
-
Lizardmen from the City of the Sun and Hesiota are still gathering in the City of Lens and Spikazuma through teleportation. The troops were likewise transferred to Spikazuma.

The army belonging to the lord Mazdamurdi will start from Spikazuma, join the army of the city of the moon and Taraxlan, and then reach the city of mist and Slanwupek. The army of the three cities will cross the horse The Grimath Mountains simultaneously launched an attack on the five northern kingdoms of the Harkon Empire.

The first city, Itza and Sotek's Prophet Tehenhauin's army will besiege the capital of Harken and contain his forces. At that time, the lizardman army that ended the war in the north will go south and join the encircled lizardman army. Launched an attack at the same time as Drucci's Black Ark fleet.

However, the action at this stage has nothing to do with Dacius for the time being. There is still a long time before the march of the lizardmen and the arrival of Drucci's black ark fleet. He can use this time to do other things.

A prepared group of Duruccis gathered at the edge of the square. Although they are not the protagonists today, they are still very excited, because their Majesty the Witch King and the Hand of the Witch King will participate in today's adventure.

What kind of qualifications does Drucci take with His Majesty the Witch King and the Hand of the Witch King?What kind of capital is this to show off?
As the anchor, Chupa Keke yawned and leaned his whole body on the staff, and supported his body hard to prevent it from slipping to the ground. He had already entered the old age of the Skink, and he seemed to want to sleep on the spot. Obviously He didn't sleep well because of the starry sky last night.

Dacius nodded to Chupa Keke, and in the next second, a group of adventurers were teleported to the Huangqi Temple in the southernmost part of the Lustrian Isthmus.

In the Temple of Huangqi, there is a statue of a jaguar lurking in the dark night and ready to go. This is the incarnation of the ancient sage Huangqi.

Huang Qi is the most mysterious of all the Old Ones. He is called "Stalker", and sometimes he will wear shadows and transform into a panther-like hunter.He is often portrayed as a cunning Night God, rival to the Sun God, Kothek, but is most famously known as the Supreme Hunter.

Any lizardfolk tasked with hunting down their prey worships Huangqi, and the Skink, with its mystical invisibility, worships Huangqi above all other Old Ones.Lizardfolk blessed with radiance often display prodigious hunting and tracking skills, able to move effortlessly through the densest areas of the jungle.Prey can be seen in the ripples of the blue waves, and then effortlessly traverses the roadless terrain to intercept it.

Just like when Dacius came last time, the Huangqi Temple is still withered and dilapidated, and it has not been properly repaired in the past few years. Even the chameleons and lizards guarding here are gone. The jaguar statue The eyes adorned with purple gemstones were also cut off by the adventurers, and the body and tail were also smashed.

Dacius climbed up and touched the statue. According to the traditional routine, there might be something hidden in the statue. He searched carefully along the traces of destruction, trying to find any clues, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find it. any trace.

"Any clues?" Malekith asked with great interest standing below.

No clue, no discovery, Dacius shook his head a little upset, the reason for his upset was not because he didn't find any clues, but because the dream from last night still troubled him, he wasn't sure that figure was Who, if it's him, it's fine, but if it's that one, it's not good.But the organ stone worn around his neck didn't respond. He also asked Master Ma in the morning, but there was no fluctuation in Spikazuma's spiritual network last night.

Dacius speculates that what happened yesterday may be too much. One is the Yangyan Sword that was supposed to be obtained by Tyrion 280 years later. Now that Malekith has obtained it at this time, this incident will happen later. A variety of complex and varied influences, which are also related to the fate of the elves.The other is that yesterday the stars shone, which foreshadowed the rise of the Lizardmen.

Which of these two things is a big thunder, and they just happened to meet together, or is it destined?Only at the moment when Dacius, as Umak, discovers the slate of the secret chamber, will the constellations belonging to the Old Sages light up?

Originally, Dacius didn't want Malekith to come today. It would be a bit useless for Malekith to stay in Lustria after obtaining the Yangyan Sword, but under his hint, Malekith didn't want to go back. The meaning of seeing the Black Ark Fleet is that they are very interested in the next adventure.He also can't let Malekith stay alone in Spikazuma, and he might cause some troubles at that time, so he can only bring him here, as if taking Malekith to continue to relax, anyway, it's all here.

Then Dacius walked to Malekith's side and pointed to Ren who stood there motionless after the teleportation.

"Dear Cosmic Wheel, something is wrong with your state today." Malekith whispered jokingly.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no Druccis looking this way, Dacius gave Malekith an annoyed look.

"I had a strange dream last night." Dacius stopped without saying anything.

Malekith nodded in the same way, and did not pursue the question in a tacit understanding.

The Duluchis circled around the Huangqi Temple in a small circle, but they didn't dare to go too deep. They knew the danger and horror of this jungle, and they still had a bright future, so they didn't want to throw it away for no reason. At this.

Soon, the Duruccis turned back again, and surrounded Ren in anticipation, curiosity, envy, or jealousy. They knew that the protagonist today was Ren, and they had to do more. It's more about witnessing and feeling the process.

But nothing strange happened to Ren, such as auspiciousness, rainbows, light shining on his body, or visions from the sky.

"My lord, over there!" After a long time, Ren came back to his senses and said, pointing in one direction.

The Druccis looked in the direction Renn was pointing at. There was nothing but the dense jungle and the strange cry, ready to devour them like a bloody mouth.

Dacius raised his head, trying to discern the general direction from the slanted shadows of the trees, and then he took out the map slate in his arms.He looked at the map and studied it roughly. The direction Renn was pointing to was the City of Ashes, the Lake of False in the south of Paphasco.

There is an unnamed river between the Xuhua Lake and the Huangqi Temple that eventually flows into the Zhiyuan Sea.

"This is a bit noisy." Dacius muttered while looking at the slate map, frowning,
Dacius knew that the next thing might be the trial given to Ren by the ancient sage Huangqi. Based on the analysis of the essence and characteristics of the ancient sage Huangqi, it is estimated that Rennes was asked to hunt and kill something.He wouldn't be so stupid as to give chase with a shout, and then plunge into the jungle. Although he came for an adventure, he wasn't an adventurer or a pioneer.He adopted a stupid method, first triangulating the entire location, if it is still on the right side of the map after arriving at Xuhua Lake, then go directly to Zhiyuanhai Beach, if not, it means that it is between Huangqi Temple and Xuhua Maybe in the middle of the lake, or on that nameless river.

After a while, the prepared team came to Xuhua Lake again.

Xuhua Lake, there are legends and stories about this place, but the story can be told later, there are other urgent matters to be resolved right now.

"Don't let them run away!" Dacus shouted, pointing at a few sneaky hot-blooded adventurers not far away. Adventurers will find them.
