Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Perhaps it was because Maranul's expression was too funny, or perhaps it was because the statue's shape was too abstract, the Druki who were walking in the front laughed, with a bit of disdain and anger in their voices. The Asrai who saw the statue up close on the left side of the team couldn't help laughing, and Kerillian laughed the loudest among them.

"Which black ark are you from?" Maranul said coldly, and then he raised the tall statue again, but unlike last time, this time he aimed at Druki's head.

"My Lord... My Lord... The Ultimate... Oblivion." Druki, who was lying on the ground, began to shake at a high frequency, so that he couldn't speak clearly. He came to try his luck and knew that he had messed up, got into trouble, and got into a big trouble.

"What a shameful thing, you are lucky, get out!" Maranul wanted to hit Druki's head and execute him, but he finally gave up this plan.

The wood has changed from wood to a statue, and has become a symbol and a symbol. The black panther has symbolic meaning to the skin lizards, and the same is true for Ryan in the team. And with so many friends watching here, it's not good.

Druchi was still lucky, but he came a little late...

When Duruchi crawled away in a flash, it was like turning on the rewind button, still at 16 times the speed.

Maranul nodded to the Skin Lizard in a friendly manner and handed the statue to the Skin Lizard. It still couldn't be thrown away. He didn't want to take out the idea of ​​processing the thorn blade on the spot. The living environment didn't give him that skill.

When the Skin Lizard took it, it tilted its head from the left to the right. After looking at Maranul, it stretched out its left hand behind its back and prepared to hand the golden statue to Maranul.

Maranul smiled and stretched out his hand to wave, refusing the statue handed by the Skin Lizard, and then returned to the team.

Darkus, who witnessed everything, was also amused, or rather, angry. He knew why the Skin Lizard had always refused to agree to the deal. The abstractness of Duruchi's statue was no less than that of the lion specimen that was placed in the castle and ridiculed for three hundred years.

In 1731, someone gave a lion as a gift to thank the King of Sweden. Later, the lion died, and the fur and bones were sent to a taxidermist, who was asked to make a lion specimen. After receiving the task, he felt very embarrassed. Although he had made specimens of other animals, he had never made a lion specimen. There were no lions in Northern Europe, nor zoos. He had only seen the lions on the emblem, and he had never seen what a living lion looked like. But this was the king's task, and he had to do it well. As a result...

The lion specimen was completed, and its two ears were wrinkled and almost stuck to the scalp. Its two eyes were big and round, and they were very close together. Its mouth was very exaggerated, and it stuck out a long tongue. The whole face was very distorted and seriously distorted, but it still walked with proud steps.

The combination of the two styles formed a strong contrast, so that people would laugh when they saw it. Now, the abstract level of the work carved by Duruchi, who retreated away in a flash, was no less than that of the lion specimen.

Seeing all this, Marin didn't say anything this time. Her past experience and cognition made her know when to say something and when not to say something.

"Can I understand that he is fooling the lizardmen?" Kaia, who witnessed all this, asked in a low voice.

"Yes, you can also understand that this is his limit." Dacus did not make up for Drucci this time, but continued to speak.

He could figure out what Drucci was up to with his heels. It was nothing more than hearing the news that the lizardmen had a lot of money and were easy to cheat Su Lai, and then seeing the statues in the city, he made one in the same style, but the craftsmanship was not very good, without the background of the old pirates, and there was a kind of beauty of using glass shards to deceive the natives.

The skin lizards are biological robots, but they have independent thoughts, thinking ability, emotions, and aesthetics. The skin lizards living in Chapeiuto must have been deceived at the beginning, this is beyond doubt. Living in the lizardman society, they have never seen Drucci's tricks. Fortunately, there are Walter and Dorian to ease and guide in the middle, and the fart curtains that have not been cheated are gone.

Now... the skinks are still willing to trade with Duruchi. There is no way. The things Duruchi brought are too rare and strange for them. The white fork bell hanging on Chupakoko's waist has become a fashion among the skinks of Chapeiuto.

But they have learned from being cheated. The skinks willing to trade with Duruchi are all very capable. And the past ten years have also made them realize that the gold and gems in their hands are valuable to Duruchi, not just decorations or crafts like in the lizardman society.

With the influx of Duruchi from all over the world, the skinks are more willing to trade. They also know that these Duruchi will not stay for long. But with it came more troubles, and even vicious incidents. Dorian was originally in the welcoming team, but...

"Pay attention later and try to avoid such personal behavior." After walking two steps, Dakuus, who knew Duruchi's nature too well, gave Kaia another warning.

"I will." Kaia nodded.

As the team continued to move forward, the surrounding environment began to become completely different. The streets were gradually lined with colorful festive flags, which was very different from the usual dark tones and solemn atmosphere of Druch. These flags used bright colors, with crimson, sapphire blue, emerald green and gold interwoven into them. They were particularly eye-catching under the light, making the whole area exude a joyful atmosphere.

A large number of skinks and a small number of druchi were busy together. The skinks sat on the shoulders of the monitors and focused on hanging the flags high, patiently adjusting the corners of the flags to ensure that each side could be displayed in the wind. Although the Drukhi were not very used to such bright colors, they were also infected by the atmosphere of the upcoming festival. They carefully arranged the flags and hung strings of flowers and decorations on the wooden floor. On the pillars, the skinks are responsible for the statues with sayings.

Preparations for the festival are already in full swing, and there are busy figures everywhere, but there is no constant laughter and laughter, nor is the whole neighborhood filled with a festive atmosphere, as if everyone is included in this festive festival. among. One is that the Druchs are a little uncomfortable with it, and the other is that this place is close to the comprehensive area.

The main activities of the newly arrived druchis are in the dock area and the north. These druchies either have some savings or some status and can live in hotels that are already full. Most of the Druchi can only live in cabins and black arks when they are not on missions, preparing for the festival in another form.

"Have you ever heard of Blood Bowl football?" After walking for a while, Darkus asked in a mysterious tone.

"I just heard Tolandil mention it." Elsharion, who was interested in this aspect, took a step forward.

"Well, now you've heard it." Darkus said as if speaking a line. Then he raised the corner of his mouth, showing a half-expectant, half-provocative smile, and looked at the people around him. The elves, especially Etsarion, who is eager to try, "Blood Bowl Football is a sport full of violence and skills, combined with exciting elements. The game is divided into two teams, each team has eleven people, and the goal is to bring the ball to the other side. The one with the most points in the end zone is the winner.”

Eltharion's eyes lit up and his expression became more serious, trying to capture the deeper meaning of Darkus' words.

"It's not just about grabbing the ball and scoring, but also allowing the use of physical force to suppress opponents. It can even be said that accidents are part of the game, and players can use violence 'reasonably'."

The elves listening looked at each other, obviously not fully understanding.

"The rules are very simple, take the ball to the opponent's end point. Although there will be people blocking you on the way, don't worry about those blocking, use your skills and strength to deal with them, and occasionally pretend not to see the referee. In short... as long as If you dribble the ball and score, no one will blame you for your method, you will only be greeted with applause and shouts.”

Darkus spoke concisely. He did not talk about the origins of Rory, what is rugby, what is Blood Bowl, and what is the difference between the two. There are no such explanations in this world. The origin of everything must start from him. The definitions, theories, and history should be left to future generations.

He also briefly explained the rules, and also did not activate the chatty mode. He was joking, it would take a long time to explain, and he didn't know some of the rules, so he would have to improve them in subsequent games.

"Are you participating?"

"No! I am the commentator." Darkus glanced at Elsarion. He knew very well what Elsarion was thinking. He could only say that Elsarion was thinking too much.

Now he has long been in a high position and is not just a junior disciple of a crappy sect who needs to rely on sect competitions to achieve success and gain something. Unless there is an all-star competition, such as the Dread Lords team led by Malekith against the Admiral team led by Darkus, or the Lizardman team led by the Great White Lizard against the Druchi team led by Malekith, and etc……

"Where are they?" Elsharion curled his lips as his idea failed, and then raised his hand behind him.

"There are fourteen arks parked here, not counting the province of Anuriel. There are currently six provinces in the Asriel region. In addition, Ainir and Aslay have representative teams to participate. You The familiar Talos and Tyrandor are preparing for this."

In fact, the Asriel Region has eight provinces including the Anureel Province. The two islands in the north are also under the jurisdiction of the Asriel Region, but there is no one there now. Naturally, Darkus Didn't mention it.

When Elsharion's interest was aroused, he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he looked at Siegelin and Fenafin beside him, then looked at Jeron, who was half down, and finally looked at him again. He looked at Marlene in front of him.

"In other words, there are now a total of 22 teams?" asked Marin, who calculated the results immediately.

"No, there are also Lizardmen and Red Dragons, a total of 24 representative teams." Darkus gave the Azurs another surprise.

"Red dragon?" Bel-Aihor, who had been silent for the whole time, asked in surprise.

"Just like you, they are also my friends. You left too quickly and they came too late, so..." Darkus said while making staggered gestures.

"We will participate! As... Asul's representative team!" Marlene made a decision immediately.

Darkus smiled. He was not afraid of the Assurs at all. Although he still fought with cold weapons, he modified the rules of war and began to play with volume, that is, I have more money, more soldiers, and more generals. , more food, more dragons, more ships, more training, etc. The Asurs thought they saw it, but they saw nothing.

What he was afraid of was that the Asurs were not interested, and he was not worried that Druch would make a fool of himself. He still had this confidence, but if he didn't, he would still come out and mess around.

He wanted to give the Asurs some small shocks, so that they would think about it carefully.

In his opinion, the red dragon was never a trump card. If there was no red dragon, there was still the black dragon. Thousands of years had passed, and the great invasion, the great division, and the war of revenge had been fought all the way. The Asurs had corresponding countermeasures. They said that the red dragon could be used as a killer to give the Asurs a fatal blow, and that the eagle claw crossbow could not shoot into the air. In terms of abstraction, the Asurs were not much worse than the Duruchi.

"I will arrange for a contact person later to further explain the rules to you and provide competition equipment. During this period of time, you can make appropriate preparations and training."

"I just heard that there are other competitions?"

"Of course, there are also sheep shearing, group battles, archery, jousting, wrestling, duels, horse racing, and chariot racing. I like the excitement. If you want to participate, you can sign up now."    "What are the rules of group battles?" Jielong asked.

"Wearing protective gear and equipped with wooden melee weapons, five players plus a captain compete with the same configuration team within the designated range. No corner defense, no detours, and no long-term confrontation. The captain cannot participate in the battle, cannot block or dodge, and can only move. Violations will be directly judged as losses. Five players who fall before the captain will be directly judged as losses, and the team that the captain falls before the players will be directly judged as losses." Dacus explained patiently.

Team battles are not two groups of people rushing up and fighting, and then there will be a passionate championship duel. There is no point in playing this way except for the lively scene. The championship duel is a bit of a cheating, purely a one-man showdown, destroying team cooperation through personal strength, which really doesn't give any chance. Moreover, if you want to watch the championship duel, why not watch the duel? Why play team battles?

In the rules, the captain cannot participate in the battle, but can only command, which has a taste of protecting Athena and guarding the fountain. However, in the rules, Athena can move, but only move. In this way, the scene is lively, and there are more ways to play and tactics. It all depends on the captain's command, the team members' awareness, martial arts and on-site performance. They can form a semicircular formation, or they can be arranged in two or four formations, etc., and the main feature is flexibility. So you can't go around, otherwise the spectators will be confused after a while.

Now that everyone participates, there will be many participating teams. First, auditions will be held in the 100-man team, and finally they will participate as a representative team. This is done to screen talents, a bit like the 0.5 version of the Nagaros stage, where you come if there is work, and the other is to let the warriors see the style of the followers of the Lord of the Blade.

"The test is cooperation, command and coordination? Interesting." As a soldier and officer, Jielong immediately understood why there are so many rules and put forward his insights.

"Yes, you are my friends, you can directly participate in the official competition without auditions. There is no limit on the number of people. You can form an elite team to participate and communicate."

"We will participate." Marin sighed after feeling the eager gazes of the crowd.

"What about archery?" Bell-Aihor asked. He thought he was good at archery, but he knew it was not ordinary archery. There must be some strange rules.

"There are two types of archery: horse archery and foot archery. You are not allowed to use your own bows and arrows. You must use the designated bows and arrows for the competition. You are not allowed to use magic to guide arrows. Participants must check before the competition starts. Horse archery requires you to shoot left and right while the warhorse keeps crossing obstacles. There are targets on the left, right, front, back and in the sky. You cannot perform horsemanship, and you cannot stand on the horse. The final result will be judged based on the total score." Dacus still explained patiently, and then he smiled when he thought of something, and added, "By the way, shooting with the right hand will add more points than shooting with the left hand."

Unlike some games, the shooting range of cavalry is 360°. There are particularities for a large group of cavalry to shoot on horseback, especially when two teams good at horse archery are competing. If one team occupies the right side of another team, the other team will face a devastating blow. This has nothing to do with wind direction and height, but with shooting with the left and right hand.

If you are in the right position, you can use your left hand to shoot the bow directly, but it is difficult to shoot the bow with your right hand in the left position. The human-machine efficiency of the left and right hands is here. Unless you have practiced it specially, otherwise...

"Maslan, what about shooting?" Bell-Aihor asked with a raised eyebrow.

He just can't say the word "mentality", otherwise he will definitely say it. The superposition of the respective rules makes the difficulty of the game rise linearly. Ordinary archers can't play it at all. This not only tests the shooting skills, but also the riding skills and the mentality. In his opinion, this requires the pioneers among the plunderers of the Kingdom of Elion to participate in the competition. Even the pioneers are not allowed. The silver-helmeted knights of Elion must come, and they must be blessed by Kunos.

"The basic rules are the same as horse archery, but during the shooting process, you need to move, there are various obstacles, you need to roll, climb, jump, and swing, and complete the shooting during the action. There is no route restriction, only a time limit. The venue and shooting target are shaped by Shilan, and each time is different, random, and fair." Dakuus first glanced at Bell-Aihor. He could see the desire in his eyes. He probably knew what he was thinking, but... He shook his head and told the story.

The participants of the sheep shearing competition are all Duruchi, and Ryan and Cowell also signed up. The reason why all Duruchi participated is related to Duruchi's traditions and skills. This is Duruchi's specialty... (no need to expand)

The archery stage is purely for Ainir and Aslai to show off, so that the Duruchi can see their style and let them gain a foothold in the Duruchi society. They can integrate better through strength, not through friends of Dakuus. After all, the Duruchi society is about the size of fists.

In addition, it also gives Ainir and Aslai a chance to compete with each other, but it does not matter whether they live or die, to see which of the two branches of elves has better archery.

Asur archery is strong, but it depends on who you are competing with. There is no problem with competing with Duruchi, because only a small number of Duruchi play with bows, and most of them play with crossbows. But if you compete with Ainir and Aslai... unless the Shadow King comes with his shadow warriors.

The competition venue is fixed, but the terrain and targets are random, shaped by the special guest Master Xia. Master Xia's algorithm is there, and there is no saying that you will suffer if you come first and are not familiar with the venue. For every contestant, the venue is brand new.

There is no luck bonus, it is completely fair, just and open, and it all depends on skills, mentality and on-the-spot performance.

In this process, Dacus did not intend to lean towards either side. There was no need, and he had no political needs. Both sides were his friends. It was all about strength. If you don't agree, just find an opportunity to compete again.

This time, Marin did not say: We will participate. She was waiting for someone to stand up.

"I will participate!" It may be the pride brought by being an Asur, it may be young, it may be due to personality, or it may be something else, Isharion stood up.

Hot knowledge: Isharion can shoot arrows, and his bows and arrows are named after him and endowed with guiding magic. Moreover, archery is one of the skills that must be mastered by Asur nobles. They must start practicing from a young age, regardless of gender, and the level of skills is another matter.

"I will participate too!"

"I will participate!"

Bel-Ahor and Finarfin also stood up one after another.

"Okay!"

Then, Dacus introduced the rules of other competitions. The jousting was very simple. There was no lance duel. They were elves, not Bretonnian masters, although they also used lances.

But there were also activities. There were two events. The first was a jousting with long weapons. Either the opponent was knocked off the horse to win, or the opponent's points were hit. The main contestants were dark riders from the garrison and the Black Ark. In addition, there were some elite units, such as the followers of Edreze, Ainir and Asrai who were good at this. Now there was Asur. The main competition was personal riding and martial arts.

The other was playing polo, which was to look at teamwork, personal riding and ball sense. After hearing that the sorceresses led by Drusala and Colonia would participate, Marin and Adeanna expressed their willingness to participate, and also pulled in Belloda and Siglin. There were only four contestants. A complete team required ten people, but it was very simple. There were both men and women among the sea guards and sailors.

But there is no talk of women's competition. Teams composed of women will compete with men on the same stage. All competitions are the same, whether it is the society of Duruchi, Asur, or... There are no piles of sayings. There is no woman who cannot board the ship and will be regarded as ominous. If you have the guts, say this to Serene, and try to say it to the high-ranking priests composed of women. No women must stay at home or cover their faces when they go out.

The Great Sundering changed the elven society. Since then, there are no noble ladies who wear armor, carry bows and swords and fight with men. Equal pay for equal work, social obligations are the same, and there are a lot of outstanding female representatives from all branches. There are only so many elves in total, and they speak by their abilities. Moreover, each elven woman is like the Dutch track and field athlete Femke Bol. She has height and muscles, but she does not have strong strength. However, elves generally do not show off their strength.

Daquus likes this rule. It is good. It is not too high or too low, not too left or too right. It emphasizes a balance and satisfies all parties. It is not like... nor is it like the world where Drizzt Do'Urden lives.

Wrestling is close combat, and the rules are very simple, just like when Daxus played Gobang with Finnubar, and Baine and Seonlan competed. It's just that lizardmen and red dragons are prohibited from participating, otherwise there is no way to play. The giant lizard doesn't even need to move, just hit it there, and wait for the opponent to run out of strength. If it's more violent, you can even grab the opponent's legs directly, and then swing it to the ground. How to play this, hit the giant lizard's knee, or trip the giant lizard.

The same is true for duels, and lizardmen and red dragons are directly banned. And the red dragons are not interested in participating. As they get more and more in-depth contact with the elves, they know what they are good at and what they are not good at.

The rules are also very simple, that is, using designated weapons and armor to fight championships and singles, and win by knocking down the opponent or getting full points. No other blessings and gains are allowed, and the competition is martial arts, the purest martial arts. Siglin, Finarfin, Eltharion and Geron and other Asur have expressed their participation.

Horse racing is not about speed. What is there to compare with speed? Dacus doesn't gamble either. Of course, he opened the market, an official market, to meet the needs of the Druks. Not only did he open the market, but he also held a lottery. The rules are similar to those of rifle shooting, testing the rider's riding skills and agility. The venue not only prepared obstacles for the horses, but also for the knights, giving the dark riders a stage to show themselves.

Don’t say that there is no chance. Dacus did his best to give you the chance. But if you can’t grasp it after he gave it, it’s not his business. He is Daku’s father, the father of all Druki, not the father of a certain Druki.

The rules of the chariot race are somewhat similar to those of Rome. Four horses pull the Scourge Chariot, which is specially modified for the competition and has no magic blessing, and is driven by a rider. However, the competition venue is not in the arena. The competition venue in the Lizardman Barracks is not big enough. It’s okay to play rugby, but the horses can’t run. Dacus was too lazy to modify it, and directly chose to compete on the streets of Chapeiuto. At that time, the elves and lizardmen can stay on the roadside or high places to watch the game and cheer for their favorite teams.

In terms of teams, Dacus also referred to Rome and divided them into four teams, red, white, blue and yellow, which is simply distinguished by color. There is no political statement, and it is not linked to gods. If it is linked to gods, it will be troublesome. There are so many elves and gods here, how many teams and how many games will be needed. Then came the political and religious issues. What would the team representing Asuryan say if it was beaten by other teams? Would the players commit suicide to apologize? Would other gods punish them? It was all just looking for trouble.

Maybe in the future? In Naggaroth, the four colors correspond to the four cities other than Gorond and Har Gansi? Will the team colors change? But that's all for the future. What he has to do is to make a sample and establish the rules.

One morning is set aside in a week for the competition. Each team has three players and competes in three games. Each player participates in one game. Finally, the total score of the three games is judged to select the winning team. The competition lasts for three weeks. In the last week, which is the climax of the festival, the last three games are held. The total score of the three weeks of games is judged to select the final winning team of this festival and the MVP of the team.

This way, the gameplay is rich. The whole Tian Ji horse racing is not a problem, and the show operation is even less of a problem. However, it is strictly prohibited by Daxus. It is illegal to throw nails on the competition road and it is punishable by death. There are more and more opinions on the opening. Don't you like gambling? No problem. He will meet Druki's needs. You can buy weekly wins, total wins, individual wins, etc. You can even go big, change into a motorcycle, and make a pass. He predicts all nine games in one go.

Perhaps one day, mechanical vehicles will gradually replace horses, but elven war horses will not die, but shine in another way. Maybe one day, the elves will ride on war horses to fight again?

In addition to martial arts, there are also literary ones.

The recitation is based on Aenarion. Martial arts songs are written and sung. After that, the judging team headed by Liarriel and Dakwus will score and divide the champion. Dakwus needs something in this area to carry out publicity work in Naggaroth and Asheril, and Aenarion is the best choice.

Aenarion's achievements are recognized. There is a statue of Aenarion in Lothern, and the story is sung throughout Ulthuan. Naggaroth is even more so. The same is true for Laurent Loren and Athel Loren.

Forget about Malekith. How can he compete? How can he sing? Can he sing it? Will he not blush when singing? He can't sing it at all! Not to mention Dacus. Even Malekith can't do this, how can he do it?

Board games are military flag deductions. There is no individual competition, which is too time-consuming. It is a team competition. Dacus is going to open this loophole later. Five-on-five, team combat and cooperation are emphasized. You can't communicate with each other by language, let alone eye contact. You can only deduce through the dynamics of the chess pieces. Not only do you have to look at yourself and the enemy, but also take into account friendly forces.

The operation is a bit like Total War Online, but you can't turn on voice, typing and PIN signals. It all depends on the cooperation, tactical literacy and awareness of the players. It is estimated that there will be a lot of fun at that time. It is likely that you can play "Friendly forces are in trouble, what does it have to do with me"; "Friendly forces are in turmoil, but I am as still as a mountain"; this wave, it is a coordination problem.

Maybe it was because he had too much to do, or because he valued participation, or because of his self-esteem and pride, or because he wanted to steal the show, or because... In short, except for the chariot race, which he could not participate in, and the sheep shearing competition, which he had no interest in, Asur participated in all other competitions. Marin, who was good at rhetoric, signed up for recitation, ready to compete with Tolandil, Riel and the war dancers.

"Who are we... waiting for?" Standing at the door of the Mask Palace, Vizilin looked at Dulias beside him and asked in a low voice. (End of this chapter)
