Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

For more than a moment, Daxus had an urge to go to the jungles of the Southland immediately, and then go north to Athel Loren and Lauren Loren.

Each seed exudes an unusual aura, and its surface is covered with complex textures, as if precise runes are engraved on it, flickering with a faint light. The seed is roughly oval in shape, and as the light shines on it, the surface presents a gradual luster, gradually transitioning from deep purple to emerald green, giving him a mysterious feeling.

Some seeds have wooden shells, but they are extremely hard and contain vigorous power and vitality. The lines are like weathered bark, full of vicissitudes, and the tiny cracks emit a faint green fluorescence, a kind of hidden energy, waiting for the opportunity to bloom.

The surface of some seeds appeared smoother, like objects carved from crystal. When his fingers touched them, he could feel the slight pulsation inside, as if the seeds were breathing slowly like independent living beings.

One of the most eye-catching seeds was covered with a layer of metallic scales, which reflected a dazzling light under the light. It gave him a cold feeling, but more of a sense of déjà vu, corresponding to some of the things Malekith had told him.

The other one was covered with a soft moss-like outer shell, which felt moist and soft, even slightly warm. When he touched it, he had the illusion that the seed was closely connected to the pulse of the continent of Lustria.

Dacus had no intention of pushing the seeds out of the sanctuary, just like a dung beetle pushing a dung ball, he invited the second generation of Shilan in. Soon, Master Wu gave him the answer, and Master Wu's words confirmed his guess that these magical seeds were most likely not the product of this planet, but came from a distant planet. Master Wu didn't know more specifics, and further research was needed.

He closed his eyes, and a grand picture gradually emerged in his mind, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to the era when the ancient saints roamed the universe. In the dark and boundless interstellar space, the huge spaceship was like a sleeping beast, gracefully shuttling between the stars.

A solemn and mysterious atmosphere filled the entire spaceship. The ancient saints surrounded a huge virtual star map. Hundreds of millions of stars twinkled in the map, scattered like stars. They stared at the map and set their sights on a planet. This was a planet full of magical plants. Countless green veins appeared on the map, as if the planet itself was a huge forest.

The huge tree canopy blocked out the sun, and the vines of the trees were like the veins of the sky, connecting every corner of the planet. The ancient saints stepped off the spacecraft and shuttled through this magical plant kingdom. Their hands gently touched the skin of the giant trees, and they had some kind of profound dialogue with the plants.

Afterwards, the ancient saints began to collect the seeds of these giant plants. The seeds were huge and ancient, with a faint glow on the surface, and the essence of the plants was all condensed in them. Each seed contained a powerful vitality, and it seemed that the power of the seeds was not limited to the earth, but could also absorb the energy of the universe and even resonate with the orbits of the stars.

Now, these seeds stand quietly in the empty sanctuary, as if waiting to be awakened and continue their life journey from the interstellar expedition.

As his thoughts fluctuated, these ancient plants intertwined with the legends of the present world, the mysterious forest of Athel Loren, the ancient trees of Lauren Loren, the Oak of Ages, the Silver Tree, the Yew Tree of Anmir, etc. These strange plants were planted by the ancient saints who came to this planet and became the guardians of the world and the pillars of life. The trunks that supported Durthu, Adanhu, Cordier, and the Council of Ancestral Elders walking in the forest may also be made up of these plants.

Perhaps, not only the Great Forest, but also some other places in this world have been planted by the Ancient Saints.

During the Great Schism, Malekith burned down the Anhara Draco Forest in the Kingdom of Arion. Since then, Asur, who lost the star wood, could no longer build dragon ships.

Perhaps, the star wood used to make the dragon boat should also be among the seeds in front of Daxus. He even roughly deduced which of these seeds was the seed of the star wood based on the characteristics of the dragon boat.

There was only one floating garden of Ashhoranka in the entire continent of Lustria, in Taraxlan. There were similar ones in Itaza and other temple cities, but he knew that they were just an imitation and tribute to the floating garden of Ashhoranka, without the prefix of Ashhoranka.

Of course, the fact that there is no second one in Lustria does not mean that there are none in other places. There is also one in Zetland, located in the jungles of the South.

He had reason to suspect that there was also an ancient holy sanctuary belonging to Ashhoranka in the floating garden of Zetland, and there were also backup seeds in it. But he did not rush to do something immediately, such as looking for or finding a place to plant the seeds of the star wood.

These seed banks are for backup, not for direct planting. Moreover, it takes time for the seeds to grow. By the time the Starwood grows to a size that can be used to make dragon ships, the reign of Ulthuan will be over. By then, the times will have changed, and steel ships will have replaced wooden ships and roamed the vast ocean.

In 1801, Britain faced a united Northern Alliance that was hostile and neutral to it, and a naval battle was fought at the merchant port of Bicycle, the Queen's City.

Facing Dai Ying, who was in his strong period, the Northern Alliance undoubtedly lost.

After losing, the Fairy Kingdom planned to plant about 90000 oak trees in North Sealand to prepare for the reconstruction of the navy. However, due to the huge fiscal deficit caused by the war, this plan was delayed for more than ten years. However, it didn't matter if it was ten years more or less, because the growth cycle of oak trees was there. In the second half of the th century, the oak trees planted in the early th century gradually matured...

Moreover, there is only one seed of the Starwood. Even if it is brought into being through a magic ritual, by then... the entire flagship dragon ship? There is no need for that.

After suppressing the urge to take a trip to the Southland jungle, he turned his attention to Master Wu.

Master Wu had a hard life. Other Slanns spent most of their time meditating and thinking. When they woke up, they would be served attentively by the Skink Priests and have some delicious dried Eshi grubs as a small treat. But he fell into a coma. When he woke up, he didn't even sleep, let alone be served. As soon as a task was assigned, he didn't even complete it, and a bunch of tasks came right after.

White-feathered chickens, snake people, genetically modified and hybridized crops, and plant and livestock disease control all fell on his shoulders. Now, with the discovery of this batch of seeds, he has a new task: to improve, replicate, and study these backup seeds.

After the task was arranged, Dacus immediately made a plan. According to the original plan, the roots of the Oak of Ages would be connected to La Plata. La Plata would normally serve as a fulcrum for nourishing the Oak of Ages, and in an emergency, it could also be maneuvered and teleported through the World Roots.

This batch of seeds was placed in the sanctuary as a seed bank backup before the invasion, and it was not contaminated. If Master Wu's research is successful, he plans to plant some seeds that can produce seeds after planting in La Plata. While strengthening La Plata, La Plata will be made into a magical forest, a real garden, and a landmark standing in the middle of Aesiril.

When the King comes to Ulthuan, plant it in densely forested areas such as Chrace and Avalon. When the Elves return to Elsin Arwen, plant it in forests such as Laurent Loren, Athel Loren, Dragonwood, Shadowwood, and Reikwald. Even the Isle of Albion can be planted. These places will be connected to the World Roots, and will continuously nourish the Oak of Ages.

After all, he had promised Kunos that the vast forests of the world would still belong to Kunos, and not only Kunos, but also the Tal believed by humans would be strengthened. Suddenly, it felt a bit too urbanized, and everything would be counterproductive.

Of course, this is just one part of it.

If the soul of Shilan is really conceived in a similar way to the soul pod, then the importance of Athel Loren will be even higher, and its importance is no less than the resurrection of Master Ke and Master Qi. Protecting the Oak of Ages is like protecting Athena. If the Oak of Ages still reaches the point of withering at the end, then everything is over and the power will be turned off.

Therefore, this batch of seeds urgently met his needs, of course, the premise is that Master Wu is helpful. But he doesn't think that Master Wu can't do it. Master Wu not only gave him some inspiration and ideas, but also helped him in more places, as if it was a precious gift left to him by the ancient saint.

In his memory, there was no such person as Master Wu. Master Ma had also been to Albion, but he did not find Master Wu. He thought it was because he had a good timing and he went there before Bilaku. If he was right, in the timeline of his memory, Master Wu and Master Tan who stayed in Albion should have been killed by Bilaku, and the Lead Castle became Bilaku's lair.

Now, what Master Wu needs is time and manpower to assist him.

In a temple city dedicated to the moon, the ancient saint Kotego enjoys far less service than other temple cities, however, Kotego's pyramid is still important in the precise layout of the Moon City. Kotego's pyramid in the Moon City is full of polished bronze mirrors, focusing the sun's light and the wind of Aksha, amplifying the temperature of the Moon City and making the Lizardmen in the city full of vitality.

This arrangement made the heat in Kotego's pyramid very high, and only the hardiest of Skinks could endure such heat for long periods of time, and even they had to cool down in specially created pools, but while he was wandering around the Moon City, the pools were occupied by Red Dragons.

Due to the sun's rays and the presence of the Axar wind, this place became a gathering place for the red dragons after their trip. They either took a nap in the room or soaked in the pool to study everything that Daquus had said that day. In Marlock's words, this place made him feel like he was in the lair of the Blood Island. Of course, it was more of an out-of-sight, out-of-mind situation. Here they would not see wealth that did not belong to them.

Whenever war comes, the Lizardmen will gather here first. Here, the heat accelerates their blood and prepares them for the upcoming battle. In normal times, high-ranking Skinks will also visit here, which allows them to think quickly. When they are done thinking, they will offer offerings to Kotego to show their gratitude.

The existence of the Kotego Pyramid was one of the reasons why this important meeting was held in the City of the Moon rather than in other temple cities.

In the City of the Sun, Hexota, a temple city where Kotego beliefs are dominant, there is a Lazkoto Pyramid that corresponds to the City of the Moon. The Kotego Pyramid of the City of the Moon is a mirror image of the Lazkoto Pyramid of Hexota. The two pyramids echo each other, with the sun rising and the moon setting.

Every year, when the rainy season comes, the Lizardmen hold a sunset ceremony at the Kotego Pyramid in the Moon City. Sometimes it is held by Slan of the Moon City. After Taito Ikao appears, it is more often held by Taito Ikao. In the past thousands of years, Master A has only held it a few times.

This year, the sunset ceremony was conducted by Adohi-Tehega himself and the enthusiasm and passion was so high that it reached unprecedented heights.

The former refers only to the popularity of the Kotego Pyramid itself, while the latter refers to the scale and number of participants in the sunset ceremony.

As a highly respected Slann lord, Adoshi-Tehega's appearance itself symbolizes unparalleled holiness and authority. This ceremony is not only a religious ceremony, but also the most symbolic event in Lizardman culture, attracting countless attention. And this year is different from the past. After the advent of the ancient saints and the revision of the grand plan, the heat is even higher.

All the active Slann in the entire Lustria continent had gathered in the Moon City long before the meeting, and they only needed to carry Master K out. On the day of the ceremony, the skinks in the city stopped their work and gathered around the pyramid. In addition to the lizardmen in the Moon City, elves and red dragons also joined the ranks of watching the ceremony.

The central square under the pyramid was crowded with people. The number of lizards participating in the ceremony almost filled the entire central square. Even the streets leading to the pyramid were filled with skin lizards who came to see the ceremony. Thousands of skin lizards gathered here, and the heat and the noisy noises of the skin lizards made the entire square like a boiling furnace.

The elves and red dragons, as guests of spectatorship, occupied the best seats in the square with the Slanns. Not only the elves following Daxus, but also the expedition led by Alyssa, the elven warriors honing their skills in the Huangqi Temple, the high-level elves of Asriel, demigods, and the elven generals commanding the army in Zahuitak were all there.

The entire Kotego Pyramid was filled with Skink priests participating in the ceremony, surrounding Adoshi-Tehega and completing complex spells and rituals under his guidance. The temple guards and lizardmen responsible for maintaining order raised their spears to the deafening sound of drums, and the entire ground of the Moon City was shaking.

The clouds in the sky were dyed crimson by the light and the spell, and the wind was mixed with the moist breath of the rainy season, foreshadowing the sacred fusion between heaven and earth. Even the clouds far above the horizon rolled violently because of the ceremony, as if heaven and earth were witnessing this grand ceremony together.

Then, Adoshi-Tehega began to chant the ancient spell. As the spell sounded, the light reflected by the bronze mirror shone in all directions. The pyramid seemed to become a temple burning with fire under the sun. Finally, it enveloped every being in the square, and their bodies also felt the resonance with the heaven and earth in the gradual light.

In Belloda's words, at this moment she seemed to be in the Temple of Asuryan in the Dream Sea.

Dacus stood alone on the top of the pyramid, overlooking the vibrant Moon City. Adoshi-Tehega's spell echoed in his ears. The obscure spell traveled through the long river of time and penetrated every inch of space with eternal power. The light refracted from the bronze mirrors around the pyramid and gradually gathered on his body. The armor shone as if burning under the sunlight. At this moment, he became an important part of this sacred ceremony.

As the light gathered and the ancient spells were chanted, his armor began to undergo subtle changes. The sunlight reflected through the bronze mirror penetrated into the gorgeous dragon armor and the new helmet he wore. The surface of the dragon armor was no longer just a simple reflection of metal and the flow of magic patterns, but began to emit a faint halo, like the flame of the sun, endowed with some mysterious vitality.

As the Slann in the central square joined the ceremony, and as the Song of Umaq rang out from the mouths of the Skinks, lines appeared on the surface of the armor, which were the power and blessing from the Slann. These lines connected every part of the armor like veins, merging with the previous magic lines, and gathering the sacred and powerful power in the dragon armor.

He could feel the surge of power, and the dragon armor became lighter than before, and at the same time it was filled with unshakable toughness, as if it was not just the strengthening of metal and magic, but the protection transformed from the lizardmen's spirit.

Every time light shone on him, the dragon armor would absorb some of the light energy and store it in the newly appeared lines, and the strength in his body and the tattoo on his back would also increase accordingly.

This is not only a physical enhancement, but also a spiritual blessing, which makes him sharper, faster and more difficult to defeat on the battlefield.

When the ceremony reached its climax, the power of faith and the wind of Akshay continued to surge, and the lizardmen, elves, and red dragons in the square all felt a shock that could not be ignored.

The red dragons felt the power of the dragon armor and the sword. Their innate ancient instincts made them keenly aware that Dacus was no longer just a mortal warrior, but was resonating with the power of heaven and earth.

When the Skin Lizards saw the changes in Dacreus, they were filled with awe, fanaticism and reverence. Although the news did not spread widely, they, as descendants of the Ancient Saints, had already vaguely realized something.

The elves were amazed at this scene, with complicated expressions constantly appearing on their faces. What if... this was not the continent of Lustria, but Ulthuan, what if...

At this moment, Dacus slowly raised his sword, with the blade pointing to the sky. At that moment, all the energy seemed to have found a destination, and gathered towards the sword in his hand. The sword became blazing hot under the light, like a dazzling fire piercing the sky, pointing directly to the endless starry sky.

At this moment, the entire square stopped, and every pair of eyes focused on the light pointing straight to the sky. The climax of the ceremony reached its peak when Daxus raised the sword high, and the whole world stopped for a moment because of the gathering of this light.

However, the ceremony did not end. As dusk fell, the Aegir Wind appeared, carrying the blessings of the Lizardmen, and gathered towards Daquus.

The whole process lasted for several hours until the last ray of sunlight disappeared completely and the silver moon rose, and the sunset ceremony was completely over.

In this sacred ceremony, Daxus gained not only increased strength, but also a symbol of the deepening of his bond with this land and the ancient civilization of the Lizardmen.

Umaq has an even heavier mission. (End of this chapter)
