Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 299 149. The last piece of the puzzle

After the raiding team settled Nakai and Ku Jia who were lying on the ground, they continued to set off. The scattered incense burners, plague grimoires and rods of decay could only be left there temporarily.

The team had no box to place these things at all, and only Kami carried the sacred box that sealed the Nurgle Vanguard on his back. Who would have thought that half of the Skaven Plague Clan's core strength was beneath Queza?

Uter, the leader of Nurgle's army, sensed that the little mice that had stayed with him for a few days to amuse him had been wiped out. He did not feel sad for those little mice. Death also represented rebirth, and he He must also usher in his new life and hope.

The only regret is that Uter knew that everything he fantasized about was about to come to nothing. After failing to open the portal, he did not sit still and wait for death. He sat on the jade throne and waited for the arrival of the raiding team. In his right hand, he held various... The foul-smelling, filthy and rusted plague sword appeared outside the Amyrlin Hall with the severed horn that was previously on his head in his left hand.

Darkus, who was following the raid team, saw a nearly two-meter-six-meter Nurgle frontman standing on the steps. Similar to other Nurgle demons, this Nurgle demon was also riddled with diseases, with twisted and bifurcated growths on his head. of huge horns, one of which was adorned with a broken brass bell, and another that had been broken near its base. The eyes were covered by dry yellow crusts, but that could not hide the strangeness in them.

The limbs were swollen from gout and fluid accumulation, and a bloody mouth protruded where the intestines should have been. The bloated flesh covered with scars and boils seemed to have swallowed up the thighs that supported him, and pus and rot dripped from the inflammation on the body. The entire torso ends in a thick, necrotic tail.

In one word, it's disgusting, but after watching it too much, it still feels a little cute and cute.

There was no nonsense, no shouting, and no lines were spoken. Things changed late in the day. With the emergence of Nurgle's army, the magical wind appeared again in Queza, and the final battle began.

During the conquest of Queza, one of the horns on Uter's head was broken during the long battle. During the period of physical training, he engraved the runes of chaos on the foundation of the broken horn and injected powerful plagues and diseases into it. Just as he was about to blow the horn, his action was interrupted.

As Inshi-Huzi threw the sling with fire leeches at Uter, it only took less than a minute for Uter to be sealed into the holy box.

Without the front line of an army, it is nothing!

It wasn't until he was sealed into the holy box that Uter realized that this was not his fate. He should return to his father's garden and bathe in his arms instead of... At the last moment, he heard a kind voice. greetings, but he could no longer shout.

"I say hello to you on behalf of your unknown good brother, who told me you were here." When Darkus said, he also waved a friendly hand to Uter, whose body outline had become blurred.

The Amyrlin Room is called this because the interior of the room is made of jade, but something like moonlight pours down from the six holes in the ceiling. Each ray of light is reflected on the Amyrlin Seat. Sitting on the Amyrlin Seat is like Bathed in silvery light.

The hot and fetid air inside the Amyrlin Room crackled as if containing invisible energy, and the room itself was roughly ring-shaped, slightly smaller than the altar room. The walls of the room are carved with strange green symbols, and although the edges of the symbols appear to be in motion, the strange thing is that when Darkus directly observes the symbols, they remain motionless. Piles of filth and dirt obscured the ground, and the things seemed to be breathing, moving, following their own suit, like the living.

Darkus just looked inside at the door. He had no intention of going in. Despite all the blessings, his body still reacted. He felt like he was starting to have a fever, and there was a fire in his lungs. Burning, bile threatening to burst from his throat at any moment, his brain swimming with painful pulses and throbbing inside his skull, as if trying to knock itself out of his head.

Entering the Amyrlin Room in three swaying steps and sticking his head into the dunghill was not what Darkus expected to see, and he also saw what he wanted to find.

The giant cauldron in the Amyrlin Room is filled with vaguely boiling hot yellow-green liquid, giving people a terrifying feeling. This giant cauldron is like a huge crucible. The liquid inside not only has high temperature, but also contains toxic substances.

When Darkus saw the giant cauldron with a thousand rashes, the first thing he thought about was taking off his clothes and walking in for a nice dip. Then he thought about the Black Death, blood rot, hematochezia, prurigo, rat fever, Biliary malaria, hemorrhagic eye rot, asphyxiant pneumonia, yellow head fever and more.

Tehenhoin, who was standing at the door, showed an angry expression. He knew that this evil existence was the source of poison to the Ruth Kia continent.

The stone bricks under the Amyrlin Seat are covered with animal sacrifices left by the Plague Clan. Most of these things are bones and scattered items of similar value. Among this pile of garbage, there was an object that was partially buried by the filth and dirt in the room, but the exposed part was captured by Darkus.

"Kalien." The dizzy Darkos called to Carlion next to him, and then pointed to a position less than four meters away from the door.

Under the swing of Kalien's dragon tendon whip, a gold wristband engraved with gorgeous patterns appeared at Darkus' feet.

Soon, the team retreated from the door. They all felt the strong corrosion. They did not want the skin somewhere on their bodies to wrinkle, pus, leak, and take on the shape of Nurgle's mark.

"It's over... vomit." Maranur bent over and vomited midway through the question.

Maranur's action was like a starting gun. All the Druchi present were infected and began to have a chain reaction. The scene was a little difficult to describe for a while.

Darkus, who could no longer vomit, raised his head and nodded to Shakspati, and then Druch and the injured lizard legends came to the temple of the snake god Sotek.

Although there is still a long period of post-production work to be completed below Queza, the adventure belonging to Darkus and Druch has come to an end.

Compared to the seriously ill Drukhi who were infected with various symptoms and lay there with fever and unable to move, the situation of Nakai and Ku Jia was even worse. They became ICU patients and they developed severe high fevers. , fell into a deep coma. Fearing that they might die at any moment, the Red-crowned Skinks tended to them with the most potent balms and herbs they could concoct.

Relying on his status as a Slann magic priest and abundant magical wind, Shakespati chose to stay in Queza to finish the follow-up purification work. This is an extremely troublesome and time-consuming task, unless there are necessary temple guards. The rest of the lizardmen have withdrawn and came to Chakua to recuperate.

In the next two months, the Drukhi and others saw enough gold in Chakua, where gold was everywhere. Of course, there was also the legendary tyrannosaurus Quimok waiting for Ku Ga.

The rest of the lizardmen left Chakua one after another after confirming that there was no problem. Ku Jia got up one day two months later, came to the place where the Druchs were staying, said goodbye to Darkus, and then rode on Quimoc left Chakua and continued his mission,

While Nakai was still lying there, Darkus also visited several times. Seeing Nakai's miserable appearance, he thought of a possibility. It is said that there is a particularly powerful rat troll in the Pestilence clan, whose strength is as strong as The vitality will increase as the strength of the plague clan increases, and more diseases and filth will be released to the enemy, giving a feeling of companionship and shared destiny.

Could it be that the rat troll that Nakai hammered was this one? But this cannot be confirmed. You can't go to the old world and ask Nurgrich VII, right?

Ren found Dacus in his free time and told him about the strange perception he had in Queza. He also said that the voice in his head was still calling him, seeming to ask him to return to the Huangqi Temple. .

Darkus said he understood. He felt that Renn had taken a strange path. Unlike Renn's brother Franais, his positioning for Renn had always been in politics and diplomacy, but now this path seemed to have happened. Strange changes? To say that what he really lacks around him is his own sources of information and his own assassins, and Rennes' changes and opportunities have filled this gap?

Later, Darkus thought about Alyssa again. What if he accepted Alyssa in the first place? Ren became his brother-in-law? Will the relationship be stronger or something? For example, relatives or something. But he just thought about it, the past was gone, the present and the future were what mattered, he had not shamelessly and unrestrainedly turned back, he and Alyssa were destined to be impossible.

The mechanism of Druch men in this regard is very peculiar. Female dignitaries can do whatever they want, which is a manifestation of charm, while male dignitaries must restrain themselves, which is a manifestation of strength.

Not to mention Druchi's peculiar mechanism, Darkus didn't think there was any benefit in having Alyssa as his lover. As the three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family who were the first to choose to be loyal to him, he wanted to give them their due. Respect, instead of trampling on the dignity of the Takaia family with this kind of wanton behavior. In the future, he may even prepare to elect Franais as the prince who rules the Kingdom of Charis, so that the Takaia family can take back everything that belongs to them. .

The reason why Maranur, the brother of Darkus, can choose, and the clan mother and the young master can compromise, is because the Mogar family is the core of the Hell Calamity family. While gaining true love, it can also be regarded as a political relationship. on strengthening. What's more important is that his strong performance at that time blocked Maranur's shot. If he couldn't, it might be Maranur who could resist the thunder. Instead, he became a choice.

But if there were no ifs, no one would have expected that what happened next was beyond the understanding and changes of the members of the Hell Calamity family. In less than a few years, Darkus became the subordinate of Nagaros alone. A being above ten thousand people, its authority and power even exceed that of Morathi.

Thinking of Morathi, Darkus also thought of the Kane Shadow Hunter who belonged to Morathi in the next era. Whenever Morathi wanted to kill a target silently, or wanted to get something from the enemy's hands. When a certain artifact is detected, Morathi will send out the Kane Shadow Hunters composed of his elite warriors.

Kane Shadowhunter has a special magic mark on his body, and he is also proud of it. This mark is woven from shadow magic, which can give the holder extraordinary abilities, but at the same time, the holder's soul will always belong to Morathi. , serve Morathi forever. Kain Shadowhunters can teleport and jump through the shadows, turning the night into a weapon of assassination. These master assassins have eliminated countless people who have chosen to oppose Kain's cult. It is said that no one is immune once they become their target.

Some Cain Shadowhunters will even form a contract with the Shadow Demon to fuse their blood with these ethereal monsters. Once they are cut, pure darkness will seep out from them without harming the body. They can also use terrifying shadow magic, so much so that they can even manipulate the shadow of their prey to strangle them alive.

Then the cheater came, or in other words, this was Morathi's usual operation, which would never change no matter what era.

Although Kane's Shadowhunters have superb assassination skills and are gifted with assassin abilities, all Kane's Shadowhunters face a doomed tragic ending. Every time they use this ability, they have to bear a huge price. This mysterious power will eat up their bodies and erode their souls. In the end they become mere shadows and disappear from this world forever.

Morathi, who has never been a human being, naturally hid this terrible secret from her Cairn Shadow Hunters. Those Cairn Shadow Hunters who are about to fall into the shadows are often discovered by her and then labeled as rebels or heretics. , in her opinion, the duty of being a shadow hunter is to be loyal to her wholeheartedly before death.

Later, Darkus thought about the Mandelas in another world. There were strange green runes on the dark body, and under the snow-white hair was a face blurred by shadows. These Mandelas were also suitable as assassins. , because you can also move in and out of the shadows freely. But he quickly gave up this kind of thinking. He didn't want there to be any existence similar to those species around him, so as not to stab him one day when he wasn't paying attention.

The relationship between Darkus and Kane is cold and antagonistic to a certain extent. If he wants to complete the final piece of his puzzle, he will not set his sights on the Druchi of the Kane sect, even if there are The Kane Assassin declares allegiance to him, unless the Kane Assassin chooses to change his faith, but there are still a lot of hidden dangers and unknown changes.

And Renn's fate gave Darkus another choice. He knew that Renn was a communicator before, but he didn't understand whether Renn now was Umak of the ancient sage Huangqi, or a second-level god. An oracle or a priest or something. But these don't seem to be important. What is important is that the path of Ren and the Ancient Saint Huangqi suits him. He is a stalker, a hunter who transforms into a black panther in shadow, has amazing hunting and tracking skills, and can effortlessly travel through You can see unknown secret passages through the densest areas of the jungle, and you can barely pass your body through a hole the size of a gold coin. These combinations are simply perfect.

Those family guards who previously belonged to the Hell Calamity have proven their loyalty and ability. They can form a hot-blooded version of the Huangqi war gang with Ren, and make up for the deficiencies in other aspects through rapid speed and close cooperation, such as Like a flock of birds, each member moves and flips in close coordination, launching an attack before the enemy can react, and then quickly moving to the next location.

The inner core is the Ancient Sage Huangqi, and the outer core is Kane Shadowhunter? There seems to be nothing wrong with this?

As for ability? Practice!

Next, Darkos is going to visit Aslay's cousin in Athel Loren. As the chosen one of Loic, the God of Deception, he is the shadow dancer and war dancer who serves Loic. If there are no accidents, it should give him some face. Maybe Aslay, who doesn't like staying at home and wants to come out and see the outside world, can join? Anyway, he wasn't going to go to Hal Gunsey to find his crazy relative.

What didn't surprise Darkus was Malekith. When he was almost healed, Malekith came over. Now Malekith is in a very wrong state, acting a little impatient. This dissatisfaction comes faster than he thought. He believes that if Malekith returns to the throne room of the Black Tower of Nagarond for a month, Ma Rekis will definitely not be able to sit still, and must constantly find something to share Malekith's thoughts, so as not to fall into memories again. The memories will turn into pain, and it will be stronger than the previous severe pain. This will be like The frenzy swallowed up Malekith's spirit and destroyed Malekith's will.

Darkus already has a feeling that the passage of these two months has caused Malekith to decline. If this continues, Malekith may one day decline and lie there unable to move. This state of Malekith is exactly what Morathi is worried about. Things have developed to this point. He must do something. This is not to prove that his path is correct. After all, he is not thinking about it at this stage. When playing with Malekith, the vision that Malekith saw was beyond his control, but as a good subordinate and good friend, he could find some fun for Malekith or assign some tasks to share his attention.

After those Drukki recovered, they gradually adapted to the torrential Lustria climate and the gold everywhere in Chakua, but this place was boring compared to Nagaros and the Black Ark, not to mention that the Witch King was still by their side. Quietly and thoughtfully, they began to match up with Darkus, expressing their desire to go out for a walk again, both intentionally and unintentionally.

It just so happened that Tehenhoin wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Guikomo Ring Pit in the southwest of Chakua. As mentioned before, it was the place where the Skaven were massacred with blood during the war between snakes and rats. It is said that Sotigo's worshipers will offer new sacrifices on the altar every year, but where can they find sacrifices at the low point of the Snake and Rat War? But with the core of half of Queza's Plague clan's power destroyed, this year's There are sacrifices, and as Sotigo's chosen god and high priest Tehenhoin must go there.

Darkus took the Druchi around to Queza, and his knowledge increased, but he didn't catch the hair. Instead, he lay there for two months. He must be looking for some supplies to give to the Druchi, and it happened to be that he I can’t stay idle anymore. As for the gold bricks?

It's over. The transition will wrap up in a few days and we'll go to the old world.
