Chapter 111 36. Moon City
At the beginning, the Arachnari Giant Spider ran really fast. After the battle, no one knew where it ran to. A group of forest goblins did not enter the city, but turned back to chase the Arachnari Giant Spider. After all, in the tradition of the forest goblins, it was their god.
The remaining Savage Orcs and Forest Goblins were trapped in this wave of siege and none of them escaped. They all left Taraxlan. It would probably take years for mushrooms to grow in the Creeping Jungle again.
Daxus ordered the Skin Lizards to dig a large pit outside the city to bury the bodies of the Savage Orcs. These things were somewhat evil and needed to be dealt with and destroyed in a centralized manner.
Under Akadan's command, the Vicious Blood Image was also removed from the Dark Ankylosaurus's back and soaked in a large pit full of blood. After the blood image was soaked, the spirit lizards in the city's blacksmith's weapon shop would lead the fire lizards to burn the large pit.
"This blood statue is really useful. It charges quickly and is quite powerful."
Daxus really likes this thing. Except for the slightly abstract shape, everything else is good.
In Alyssa's words, the power and frequency of this thing are comparable to that of a high-level dark sorceress.
Under Dakus's instructions, the Druzis began to chop off the wild boar's legs and good parts of its body, and the remaining scraps were fed to the cold lizards and behemoths.
Next, we will start to take the procedural approach.
The gold-inlaid stone slab placed in the east of the city was also taken back. Daquus packed up and began to meet the Slanns of Taraxlan under the leadership of Tito Ikao and Chupakoko.
That's the thing. As I said before, every Shilan is an individual.
The second generation Lord Slan Adoshi-Tehega gave Daquus the impression that he was not good at speaking, somewhat autistic, and always immersed in his own inner spiritual world.
Except for being slightly interested in the Razkoto Golden Orb spell on the stone slab.
As for whether Dacus was the ancient holy messenger Umak or something like that, Adoshi-Tehega simply said it was an omen and nothing more.
The rest of the time, Adoshi Tehega kept staring at Dacus, as if wondering why the messenger Umak was a strange hot-blooded person?
Adoshi Tehega, though somewhat bewildered and withdrawn, was relatively friendly. He wanted to share his beloved delicacy, dried Ehi grubs, with Daxus, but Daxus felt he didn't know how to begin, seeming to hesitate and then hesitate. Daxus couldn't handle this, so he simply ignored the topic and ignored it.
As for the other Lord Slantaztek, he was slightly better, and by that I mean he said a few more words. These words didn't answer the question, and didn't answer the question. They didn't make sense, and didn't match what Daquus said.
It always gives Dacus the aesthetic of an ancient computer that is forced to boot up and has its CPU overloaded.
The torturous meeting was finally over. Daxus felt relieved that the first person he met was an open-minded person like Master Ma, with whom he could communicate normally. If he had met these big guys at the beginning, he didn't dare to imagine how things would develop next.
Tito Ikao placed Dacus and the others in the Skink Residential Area in the north of the city.
The ancient Triceratops carrying the Engine of the Gods was also tricked by Darkus. He simply called a black cat a white cat and said that he brought it here. Hesiota's lizard accomplices also nodded in agreement.
Tito Ikao was so angry that he was jumping up and down. In the whole of Taraxlan, there was only this ancient Triceratops carrying the Engine of the Gods. How could he not know that?
In the following days, Daxus took the Druzis to visit Taraxland under the guidance of the outgoing Chupakoko.
As for Teto Ikao, he had to organize the reconstruction and post-war recovery of Taraxlan.
The City of the Moon was built and named when only Manasrib orbited the mortal world, rather than the twin moons visible today. The City of the Moon served the Slann stargazers and soothsayers, whose observations of the moon and the stars allowed them to predict future events with near-total accuracy. However, with the coming of the Great Incursion, the chaotic Morsrib arose. Unbound by laws and operating in patterns beyond the Slann's comprehension, the unholy moon disrupted the Slann and Skink priests who still looked to the stars to predict the future.
At the heart of the city lies the massive temple-pyramid of Razkoto, the residence of the second Lord of Slan'adoshi-Tehega. Surrounding the temple is the Temple of Sotek, where massive sacrifices were once held to satisfy the snake god's eternal thirst for blood.
To the west of the city are the Temple of Taybok and the Temple of the Eclipse, to the southwest is the Great Dome of Huangqi, where many Slann would often go to meditate during its heyday. To the northwest is the Temple of Zongqi, where all the spawning pools in the pyramid TC City converge.
To the south lies the city's processional thoroughfare and the Pyramids of Mummies, where the Slann mummies, including the mummies of the Slann Lords, are hidden and protected by the temple guards. To the east lies the Temple Pyramid of Quetli, and further east lies the Temple Pyramid of Ichi, the Floating Gardens, and the Taming Stables. To the north lie the Skink settlements, slums, and the Great Market.
However, the Taraxland Special Economic Zone, which is said to require 10,000 skinks to maintain, has become somewhat desolate after this wave of turmoil and the rainy season. I wonder if there are any skinks that have become rich first.
But it must be said that Taraxlan was truly rich. The city housed unimaginable wealth. Many temple pyramids were rimmed with gold and adorned with countless gemstones. There were also the Floating Gardens, with their ethereal ornamental plants, the Corona of Koteg, a sun made of shifting stones, and the Eternal Fountain, a shimmering emerald stone. The sight of these northerners from the bitter cold of Naggaroth was enough to make them drool.
But after a few days of wandering around, that was all. After all, the Drukis couldn't take the gems off the wall in front of the skinks.
The continuous rain made the Druzis who went out for a walk wet and damp. Fortunately, the pyramid where the Druzis lived had a better ventilation system and was relatively dry.
Daxus always felt that the Druzis' intentional or unintentional conversations and actions revealed a sense of boredom and a reluctance to stay in Taraxland, but the Druzis did not dare to tell him directly due to his tyranny. Of course, the Druzis would not be stupid enough to let Genevieve whisper it to him.
"How about we go back to Spikazuma and continue digging?" Daxus was sitting by the campfire, roasting sicklefish. While roasting, he suddenly asked.
"It's all at your command, sir!"
The Druzis looked at each other, stood up and spoke in unison.
"The rainy season lasts about five months. I won't say much more. Let's pack up and leave tomorrow to continue our journey of exploration."
