Chapter 620 471 The Shock From Dacus (with Summary)

"Next? Next we found another ruins, where there was an injured second-generation Slann magic priest and a sleeping third-generation Slann magic priest. He chatted with the awakened third-generation Slann magic priest. After a few words, he became very angry and cursed to himself. The Druchi people stood far away and did not dare to come forward to talk to him. He would occasionally say strange things, but he usually behaved well. He was very elegant. That was the first time I saw him angry, truly angry.”

"Because?" Finubal had been brought into rhythm by Belloda, and curiosity occupied his heart. But he didn't act impatient, but asked calmly and gracefully.

"The nodes of Obiun and Ulthuan are connected, and Obiun is connected to Erzin Alvin and Norsca. Obiun's system has a stabilizing effect on Ulthuan. When Osuan After An is affected, Obien will also be affected. It is said that the reason why the second-generation Slann magic priest was injured is related to the collapse of the earth a thousand years ago..." Belloda said while looking at Fen meaningfully. Nubar, she was reminding Fenubar that although what she said was very obscure, she believed that Fenubar could understand it.

"You mean?" Fenubar asked, ignoring the commotion in the tent and staring solemnly into Belloda's eyes.

"Yes, you do as you understand."

After receiving the confirmation, Finubar nodded. Although there was a lot of information that Belloda did not say clearly, he had already captured the hidden meaning of Belloda's words. Darkus was angry. Whoever he was angry with must be Malekith. The collapse of the earth was a good thing Malekith did.

All the elves know this, and the various legends and ruins that can be seen everywhere in Ulthuan confirm this. Why was there a huge wave of immigrants in Ulthuan after the Great Schism? It wasn't because Malekith destroyed their homeland. Assur who survived had nowhere to go but went to Elzin Alvin to seek a living.

From the fact that Darkus was angry, he could tell that Darkus's power and status in Druchi was higher than he imagined, and his status might even be close to Malekith's. What's the relationship? ...And it is very influential in Druchi, otherwise those Druchi would definitely express something instead of watching from there. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, but it seemed impossible? As far as he knew, Malekith seemed to have lost the ability to have children.

"Dakeus...Which family does he come from? He is related to..." Finubar looked around and asked cautiously.

"It's not what you think. I had the same idea as you at the time, but no. He comes from the Helban family. In Druch's variant Elsalin language, it is the Hell's Disaster Family, Darkus Hell. He is not the head of the family. As far as I know, Anasara and Newkel are still alive.

But he is very influential and can influence the will of the family and even the will of the entire Nagaroth. He has two titles: "Hand of the Witch King" and "Chief Consul of Druch". He is responsible for all matters large and small and provides full support. As far as I know, Malekith actually didn't want him to come, but he insisted on coming, and you can see the result. "Beloda knew what Fenubal was asking, and she denied it directly.

The atmosphere in the tent became depressing again. The Herban family was well-known in Ulthuan. Alandrian is Malekith's most trusted lieutenant, and his daughter Heliben is even more notorious. She fatally destroyed the Kingdom of Cosqui during the Great Schism. His younger brother Kedelon died in Tal Anlek during the Great Schism, but Annasara, as Kedelon's wife, contributed a lot during the Great Schism.

Newkel...

After the ninth Phoenix King "The Reckless" Moville came to power, he avenged the eighth Phoenix King "The Singer" Addis and organized an army to attack Nagaroth. But the attack was discovered in advance, and Druchi, who received the warning, was ready. Halfway through the landing of Asul's army, Druchi's army launched a surprise attack.

This massacre was called the "Day of Blood". More than half of the Assur fleet was destroyed, causing the power of the two sides to tilt at sea. After that, the two sides maintained a strange and delicate balance of power. The battle commander on land is Nucker. Many of the elders of the princes and princesses in the tent serve in the Assur Navy...

Now comes Darkus, the "Chief Consul of Druch"?

"Continue." Finubar, who had obtained the key information, did not continue to struggle with this matter. He motioned to Belloda to continue telling the story.

"The third-generation Slann magic priest did something. According to Darkus, he dressed up as an green-skinned god while he was sleeping. This made the green-skinned prophet who controlled the tribe think that what he did was rewarded. With God’s guidance…”

This thing itself was fun, but after Beloda finished speaking, there was no happy atmosphere in the tent, and the Asurs were still digesting the information contained in her previous words.

"Things were a bit complicated at the time. Obion's spiritual network was very unstable. Some Chaos warbands were teleported there through the channel and expelled the previous green-skin tribe that occupied the temple city there. The Slann Demon Priest drove Let the green-skinned prophet fight the Chaos warband. Next, we engage in a pincer attack with the local Obion natives and attack the greenskin tribe and Chaos warband in the temple city.

The battle was intense and the advancement was difficult. At that time, I was wearing a colorful feather cloak that could float in the air, fighting in the air and guiding the Duruchi to attack the outer greenskin trebuchet positions. After the outer battle, we headed towards the pyramid in the core of the temple city. I saw the figure of Daquus, who fell in blood, and not far away from him, there was a giant, a corrupted giant, a giant with a height of 20 meters, and the giant's throat was cut open by him.

Later I learned that before that, he had killed a greenskin warrior and a doomsday bull. In my opinion, he has unparalleled experience in dealing with large creatures. Can you imagine that the giant did not cause effective damage to him.

Then we entered the pyramid to meet up with others. At the core, he asked me a question: Can I trust you? You know the importance of this place! I still remember my answer: Yes! This is about the world and about Ulthuan! Even if it means sacrificing my life, even like the dragon tamer.

Then I climbed onto the pedestal with three other warlocks and began the ritual. The ritual was difficult, and when it reached its climax, the entire pyramid trembled like a frightened beast, and my nostrils were filled with the smell of dimensional stone and decay. I chanted the spell I had learned only the day before, my throat twisted, and I struggled to utter the unfamiliar syllables. I found that my inner vision was distorted, and understanding and power flowed through my body, washing over me like a torrent, and I was like a sponge, constantly absorbing and understanding.

As the passage was closing, I felt pain, an almost unbearable pressure, and I forced myself to concentrate, using my deepest reserves, and focusing on the spell. As the chanting continued, the runes were sealed one by one, but the pain and torture continued to intensify, constantly devouring me. I was wondering if this would stop, whether I would die in pain and torture, and whether my soul would be trapped here forever.

The pain and torture spread in my mind, burning me constantly. Endless darkness lingered on the edge of my mind like a tide, and I gritted my teeth and tried desperately to maintain consciousness.

Everyone is still alive, the ritual was successful, the passage was temporarily closed, the threat of world destruction disappeared temporarily, our efforts were successful, our sacrifice was not wasted, and my strength was greatly improved.

We, or rather, Duruchi saved the world... Can you imagine it? Duruchi saved the world! How incredible, how unheard of..."

During Belloda's narration, her father reached out and held her hand tightly, which was trembling because of the memory, trying to comfort her.

"Why don't you react? Is the story not exciting enough? Or is there something wrong with my narration?" Belloda's narration did not attract much response, no doubt, no ridicule, only silence and complexity. After looking around, she asked slowly.

"You did a good job, I am proud of you, child." Seraphien said while patting the back of Belloda's hand, and then he said, "Child, I believe you. When it happened, we sensed that terrible things were happening on the island surrounded by fog, and Ulthuan also sent corresponding information. The reason why Caledor contacted the outside world was also related to what happened on that island. Just when we were about to do something, everything became stable again. Well done, my child. "

"What happened next?"

"Afterwards? When the passage stabilized, the Lizardmen army of Lustria crossed Lustria and Ulthuan, and a portal slowly opened. The Lizardmen took over there, and they will re-maintain the nodes of Orbion Island and guard there.

After that, we set out on the journey again. We were originally going to land in Elsin Alvin to find you, but something happened during the process. We encountered a ship, an undead pirate ship from Lustria. We chased the pirate ship and cleared the last remnants. After the battle, we found a dwarf. "Beloda told the story, but she concealed some things, such as her friend, the friend who transformed into an elf vampire.

"Dwarf? Why did the dwarf appear there? "Finnubar asked curiously.

"Because he is not a mountain dwarf who has fought with us, he is a Norse dwarf from Norsca, his ship was sunk, and he was captured. Dacuus seemed to know something, and he also got some kind of revelation. After that, we adjusted our direction and headed towards Norsca. We came to Skjord, a coastal town of the Bjöllin tribe. After we replenished our supplies, we set off eastward along the coastline of Norsca and arrived at our final destination, Omskro of the Sali tribe.

I pulled down a comet there..." Belloda's words were interrupted.

"Did you pull down that comet?" Fenrir asked.

"Should it be? There seemed to be no second comet at the time. I guided the comet to hit Omskro, and the Duruchi launched their best raid, and Omskro was destroyed. There we found a dwarf who was also captured. It was said that this dwarf was a prince. I could feel the importance of these two Norse dwarves to Dacus. He established a friendship with the two dwarves, and they exchanged gifts with each other before separating.

Don't think about those things. He is very cunning. I can feel that the Norse dwarves are very conservative and exclusive, even more conservative than the mountain dwarves in the records. The next time they meet, they will bring out gifts as proof. In addition, they will also speak a codeword that only they can understand.

Unless... you are pretending to be Duruchi pirates? But I don't think it will be of any use. According to him, the population of the Norse dwarves is too small and they need blood transfusions and support. The fortress of the Norse dwarves is too close to the Arctic Pole. They are the first line to block the invasion of Chaos. The roadstone system they arranged is still in operation. "

Beloda stared at Finnubar while speaking. She could feel the inner entanglement of Finnubar. She could understand this feeling because she also had it.

"What about the revelation? What is the revelation?" Essarion, who had not said anything since entering the tent, suddenly asked.

"According to my understanding of Daquus, he does not have the skills of a qualified captain. He can only wipe the deck or climb up the sails to cause trouble for the sailors. In my opinion, his position on the ship is more like a chef? Yes, chef, but what he made... can only be said to be edible, not delicious, and those ingredients were wasted by him. "Beloda finished teasing and stood up to pour himself a glass of wine.

"What does this have to do with revelation?" After hearing what Beloda said, Isharion frowned and asked.

Finubar shook his head speechlessly. In his opinion, Isharion was a little immature.

"Of course, it was such a Duruchi who couldn't even drive a boat that won the recognition of Maslan!"

Beloda's words did not detonate the atmosphere in the tent. The Asur were not fish. She had said relevant things during the day.

"You know that Lilith gave the elves three extraordinary items, the Star Crown, the Sunfire Amulet and the Lilith Moon Staff. But you don't know that Maslan also has three extraordinary items, namely the Trident of the Sea, the Holy Soul Reef and the Deep Sea Scepter.

Maslan made a choice and chose Daquus as his champion. Can you imagine that a Duruchi who couldn't even drive a boat became the champion of Maslan? The revelation he saw was the Trident of the Sea that he held in his hand today to defeat Orion, a weapon that is comparable to Lilith's Moon Staff, and you also saw the power it displayed today. "

"This is impossible! This... Matheran. "

The speaker was Seraphim, who expressed the confusion on behalf of the Asur. The Asur present were members of the sea-opening faction, and most of them believed in Maslan, and the occupations of family members were closely related to the sea.

The impact of this incident was too great for them. Before this, Maslan only favored elves at most, and Belloda was the object of Maslan's favor, so she was highly respected in Twilight Fortress before meeting Daquus, but it was only favored, and there was still a long way to go before becoming Maslan's chosen one. Maslan has never chosen a chosen one, let alone a champion. Now a Duruchi who can't even drive a boat appears in their sight and becomes Maslan's champion. What's this?

The tent fell into confusion and uneasiness, and the Asurs' eyes stayed on Belloda's face, trying to find the answer from it.

"What exactly is Maslan's intention? "Adeanna whispered in a low voice, her eyes full of doubt and uneasiness. She didn't understand that the elves of the Kingdom of Cosqui were the most closely connected with Maselan. A large part of the Asur in the kingdom were engaged in professions related to the sea. They were staunch supporters of Maselan. As a result... At the same time, she could also imagine the influence of the news that Dacus was the champion of Maselan on the Asur of the Kingdom of Cosqui.

"As far as I know, a long time ago, Dacus obtained the Holy Soul Reef, a gift from Maselan, which means that he is still short of the Deep Sea Scepter. When he obtains the Deep Sea Scepter... We, not... you, will face a terrible enemy. "Beloda was very satisfied with the current effect, and continued while gently moving the wine glass with his fingers.

"What about you?" Finnubar asked, catching a clue.

"Can I go back? Unless you become the Phoenix King and pardon me, but what does that mean? What about my honor? What about my reputation? How can I gain a foothold in Ulthuan? "

Finnubar nodded helplessly and sighed. He thought what Belloda said was right. According to the information he got, the conservatives played a big role in Ulthuan's recall of Belloda. They wanted to do something through Belloda and then influence him.

"Why did Matheran do this? Although the will of God is unpredictable, I guessed something. But I can't say it. You should ask him tomorrow and see how he answers you. Let's talk about something practical. As far as I know, before Dakwus became the champion of Matheran, Matheran had a daughter who existed in the Golden Age. The daughter I am talking about refers to the elf, not the sea dragon beast under the sea of ​​Lothern.

She came from the Kingdom of Iris and later came to Elsing Arwen. She is still alive and lives in this forest. The Flowing Water Palace in the north is her residence. She stood behind the spellcasters today. You may not notice that you will see her tomorrow, but I don't recommend you to do anything because she is a staunch supporter of Dakwus. In my opinion, Dakwus should combine with her? Can you imagine what it would be like if both of them appeared in front of the Duruchi Navy or the Asur Navy at the same time?"

The atmosphere in the tent was depressing, and the Asurs were already a little numb. They didn't know how to think or express themselves.

Finubar frowned, and he thought of something. When he was still young, Orion appeared in Ulthuan and launched an attack on the Kingdom of Elion. Kunos is the main god believed in by Assur in the Kingdom of Airion. The riders living on the grasslands did not dare to take up arms to resist their god. Their hesitation and concession cost them blood.

If one day, Druchi and Asur go to war again, and Darkus and Marcelan's daughter stand in front of Asur's fleet... Thinking of this, he dare not think about it. During the "Day of Blood", Asur The Er navy suffered a tragic loss and has not recovered yet. It can no longer suppress the Druch navy as before. Now, Darkus appears again. This...defeats Orion like Darkus did? The problem is that the Assur Navy's faith is Matheran.

Thinking of this, he looked at Belloda. According to Belloda's description and his contact with Dax today, he could feel that Dax was different from the Drucci in his impression, it seemed? Moreover, Darkus must have had some political purpose in coming to see him. He could feel that Darkus valued him, otherwise he would not have told him before entering the Chaos Demon Realm that he must kill him if he could not get out. Combined with Marcelan's favor for Darkus, he seemed to have captured something. The generals, soldiers and sailors of the Asur navy were basically from his faction. He seemed to understand, but he was still a little unsure.

"and after?"

Belloda looked at Finubal who asked the question. It seemed to her that Finubal seemed to understand the hidden meaning in her words. And this was the main purpose of her coming here tonight. Just like what Darkus said to her, the same words depended on who said them, and some words should be said by her. But there were some things she couldn't say, and Dedacus himself said them.

"Nothing happened after that. We circled around the Claw Sea and stopped for supplies in the port that now belongs to the monkeys. We found something related to the lizard people in a sunken ship. Later we went to Esso. Talarian, that once glorious city sank to the bottom of the sea, with ruins everywhere. Perhaps it was a mistake to build it there in the first place.

Later, we landed, under the watchful eye of Theathilta, but before landing we encountered a Norscan fleet that came to retaliate, and that fleet was very large. The Trident of the Sea emitted even more terrifying power than today, and the Norscans sank into the sea to feed the fish. That’s Enil’s territory. By the way, if you continue your trip to Ersin Alvin, I don’t recommend you go there, it’s a waste of time. "

"Why?"

"This is a very long story. It was the Spring Equinox when we landed, and Enil was celebrating there. I saw it there..."

"What did you see?"

"Are you mentally prepared?" Belloda calmly responded to the inquiry from her best friend, as if she was asking herself a question, and continued, "I saw the incarnation of Loic, who was at the climax of the festival. Dancing with Darkus..."

"this?"

"The lord there is called Kaia, and the humans call her the 'Storm Witch'. As you may think, she is also a believer in Marcelan. I became friends with her, and she told me... on the Norscan ship On the day the team arrived, she stood at the top of Theatir Tower, preparing for the brutal battle that followed. But at some point, an elf lady appeared next to her and said something to her. The lady said: He is Hope. She thinks that the lady should be Elsa! And what Elsa means is Darkus."

Numb, completely numb, the Asurs no longer knew what to say. Words such as shocked and incredible could no longer accurately express their mood at the moment. They didn't understand... they didn't understand why the gods would treat a druch. Such favor.

"After we had stayed there for some time and were preparing to go to Tal Litaner, Kaia set out with us, she was a member of the Council of Three that year and she was going to serve in Tal Litaner and live there. In Lauren Loren's Enil, there is a complex social system, but of course this is not the point.

The point is that she became a member of the Stormweavers on the way. I don’t think I mentioned it before. This Stormweaver organization was founded by Darkus, and she is a high-ranking priest like me. After this trip is over, I will return to Lustria to organize Chapeiuto's work, such as building the Great Temple of Marselan, the Great Lighthouse, etc. Like before, I will disperse the typhoons after the typhoon season comes, and I will follow up Perhaps a traveling ceremony will be organized for Druch's fleet?

As for me betraying the fleet's departure information, don't count on me. Darkus trusts me. Believe me, I will repay him with loyalty. Of course, if you organize a navy to attack there, I will not take action, because it is not my turn to take action. Chapeiuto is not just a simple port city of Druch, the lizard people also need to use that city to establish a relationship with the lizard people in the Southland jungle. Contact him, the second-generation Slann priest in the pyramid will protect Chapeiuto.

And Kaia will continue to stay there, serving as the person in charge of Lauren Loren, receiving the visiting elven ships. I am not only talking about the elves Druchi and Enil, but also you, of course, if you want to go. "

The Asurs did not accuse or abuse Belloda, nor were they curious as to why they were going. They were in a depressed and depressed state. They sat quietly listening or thinking, and even the desire to touch the food and drinks on the table disappeared.

"Something happened on the road at that time. There was a fluctuation in a place called Jinchi on the south side of the route. At Kaiya's plea, we went there. The situation at that time was very complicated..." After seeing that the Asurs ignored them, , Belloda was talking to himself, telling Finubar and his father.

"Did you go to the Demonic Realm of Chaos?"

"No, that was what happened later. The situation at that time was very complicated, very complicated. A Skaven army was thirsty for the energy in the golden pool. They launched an attack on the golden pool. Enil and the forest spirits blocked it. The Ratmen attacked, and then we joined in. The battlefield at that time was divided into two places, one was the blocking point in the open space, and the other was the Golden Pond, and I was assigned to the Golden Pond.

It may be that we arrived late, or it may be for other reasons. The guardian of the Golden Pond made an impulsive and stupid choice. No matter what emotions influenced her, this choice was wrong. She activated the energy of Jinchi, the strong wind of Ji Lun and Gu Erzhi, but this is exactly what Jinchi's inner existence hoped for. The golden pool not only contains energy, but also seals an extremely powerful demon. The big demon was released, and it transformed Ji Lun and Gu Erzhifeng into Deha. We fought with it, but we couldn't defeat it at all. The Deha in the golden pool continuously provided it with energy.

The deha was extremely huge, so huge that it supported a portal that appeared on the open battlefield. Darkus was in the open space at the time, but later he left the battlefield and came to the Golden Pond. I found out later that he killed a controlled cockatrice on the way to the Golden Pond, and by the way killed the rat leader who was controlling the cockatrice. "

"Big Demon? What happens next?" Elsharion asked impatiently. He was attracted by the story Beloda told.

The word "big devil" also attracted the attention of other Asur, and they used their own methods to cheer up and listen to Belloda's story.

"Then a dragon lizard guarding the golden pond appeared and fought with the big demon, but the dragon lizard couldn't defeat it at all. In my opinion, the big demon was very strong and good at fighting, even stronger than the legendary Nakali "

Warhammer World Hot Knowledge: It is best for mortals not to speak the names of the Chaos Gods...

Although Belloda did not mention the name of the great demon or which Chaos Evil God he belonged to, once the name Nakari was spoken, the Asurs all understood it. They took a breath of cold air, after all, the damage Nakari caused to the elves was too great, and the big demon Beloda faced at that time was even stronger than Nakari.

"What happens next?" This time the urging came from Yelian.

"Afterwards, Darkus came and said to us: We have tried our best..."

"Did you run away?" Yelian said with an expression that I guess looked like this.

"He said: We have tried our best. I will try to make a last ditch effort. If we fail... we will run as far as we can. When he said that, he smiled and waved to us, and then he nodded. He rushed towards the big devil without looking back. I will always remember the way he looked when he turned around. This is an indelible memory." Beloda glared at Yelian and opened his mouth, but there was a bitterness in his throat. She still swallowed the words. In her opinion, it was not her turn to educate Yelian. She smiled flatly and said in a teasing tone.

"He defeated the big demon?" Eltharion asked impatiently as before.

"Things are a bit complicated." Belloda showed off for a while, and when the heat was about the same, she continued, "Since you want to hear it, I will explain it in detail. The Great Demon is connected to Deha in Jinchi. In this case, Da Keus couldn't defeat the big demon, but fortunately his sister, Kelio Colonia Hellscourge, took action.

Can you imagine that a Druchi sorceress could actually use advanced magic? What an incredible thing, but she did it. By the way, today's Hour of Discord was also cast by her. It is said that she was taught by a second-generation Slann Demon Priest when she was in Lustria. While the big demon was fighting with her brother, she converted the energy in the golden pool into Kuish, and then she released a sun under our protection.

As time went on, the sun's rays became more intense, reaching an indescribable intensity. It began to expand in mid-air, becoming larger and larger, illuminating the entire golden pool. The next moment, the sun exploded, with a huge surge of energy, releasing a dazzling light, like a star exploding.

The big demon was injured, but Darkus still couldn't defeat the big demon. It was too strong. Colonia exerted force again, and the secret method of cracking attached to the body of the big demon like a flame. The big demon screamed in pain, its claws twitched and opened, the howl was deafening, and the heavily damaged armor began to crack, and purple pus Fluid leaked from the wound.

Did he defeat the big devil? Yes, he defeated the big devil! He controlled the trident to break through the barrier and accurately pierced the demon's heart. The dark clouds dispersed, the shadows faded, a clear and bright blue appeared above Jinchi, and the sunlight moved subtly. "

"Oh, by the way, the big demon is called Shalashi Demon Calamity." Beloda added another sentence after finishing speaking, she said in pure Elsalin language.

There was silence in the tent, and the expressions of the Asurs froze, as if time had stopped. Shock, disbelief, awe and confusion appeared on their faces alternately. Their hearts were in turmoil, and everyone was digesting this shocking news.

Facing Belloda's gaze, Yelian's face was pale and his lips trembled slightly. He couldn't accept this. He had never seen a demon, but only heard of it in ancient legends and stories. He couldn't imagine facing a demon like Aenaril, fighting with a demon, and finally defeating the demon. And Aenaril didn't face the demon alone at that time.

"Demon, that's a demon, no matter how they did it." Issarion widened his eyes and muttered to himself. In his opinion, it doesn't matter how to defeat the demon, what matters is that you can defeat the demon.

"This feat is really incredible." Adeanna's voice was filled with amazement and respect that could not be concealed.

Seraphim frowned, worried about Belloda's experience and shocked by Daquus's feat, but he didn't say anything.

"I know this news is hard to accept, but Dakwus's strength and determination are real. And... as far as I know, this is the fifth great demon he has defeated. Flannais told me that at dusk in the year when Dakwus came of age, a keeper of secrets appeared. They joined forces with the Lizardmen in Lustria to defeat an army led by a prince, and defeated two princes in the Battle of Grond in Naggarond.

Not long after this time, he killed another great unclean one. In the Chaos Realm, it was killed in the full sense, not exiled!" Belloda looked around the Asur in the tent and felt the shock and complex emotions in the hearts of the Asur. She looked at Finnubar again, and after seeing Finnubar's expressionless face, she smiled and said.

The Asur were completely unable to collapse this time, and the tent exploded. They had never seen a great demon, let alone defeated it. Good guys, by the time they got to Dacus, they had already defeated six of them. At this moment, they seemed to understand why the elves favored Dacus and why the lizardmen obeyed Dacus's orders.
