Chapter 118 43. Blessing Cultivator
"That's complicating the problem, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better to just ask Master Ma to teleport the plunder ship to the underground sea? And what kind of ship would we build? But Master Ma probably can't handle the detailed work of building the dock, so we'll have to do it ourselves."
Dacus sat alone in his tent with disheveled hair, peeling fruit with a serrated dagger and eating it, thinking about something while eating.
"But this mine is a bit... well, I don't need the gold right now. I'll have to invite some fellows from the Old World to experience the simple folks and hospitality of the Lizardmen of Lustria. After all, we can't let the giant lizards mine every day. Besides, where can we get so many giant lizards? There are so many temple cities that need to be rebuilt."
"The incubator here in Spikazuma is truly amazing. It's instantly increased the Lizardmen's production by one-fifth. Cities that weren't part of the plan have suddenly become important. Perhaps this is part of the grand plan?"
Mazdamundi's men have begun to arrive from Hexota one after another, with a hundred men guarding his temple and a hundred men passing on the throne.
Under the control of the Supreme Will, the Lizardmen of Hexota began to take action. After receiving the instructions, Pichipooki began to assign tasks to the Skink Priests and Skink Chiefs.
The Skink officials who received specific tasks immediately began to beat gongs and blow trumpets, knocking on every door in the Skink residential area and the Monitor Lizard labor community.
The Skinks and Giant Lizards emerged from their slumber and, braving the heavy rain, began to gather in the square below the Southern Star Pyramid. Under orderly command, they stood in a chaotic manner in the square, carrying a variety of tools. Among them were various professions, such as swamp fishermen and breeders, as well as elite Skink professions such as Oceanite Stone Miners, Meteorite Master Technicians, and Hatchery Cleaners.
The giant beasts in the taming pens were also forced out and began to assemble.
Daxus always felt that it was particularly noisy outside. The hissing and clattering sounds of the skin lizards and the roars of the giant beasts kept reaching his ears.
The behemoths generally complained, confused as to why they were suddenly transported here, and why they had to start working in the pouring rain. But Daquus didn't bother to go out and inspect the situation. He showered and finally cleaned off the disgusting dust.
The cleaning work of Spica Zuma has officially begun. This is no longer the small-scale cleanup that Dacus had done before.
The Skinks and Giant Lizards began to move under orderly command. They had to clear out the most magnificent and tallest ancient Saint Ich's large temple pyramid in the center of the city so that Mazdamuddi could move in.
Cold One riders and Skink Marsh fishermen began to venture out of the city in the heavy rain to catch prey to feed the city.
Construction has also begun on the Skink Residential Area and the Monitor Lizard Labor Community, at least to provide temporary living space.
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Daxus. After wandering around in the passage for a whole day, he had already fallen into a deep sleep after preparing his repeating crossbow and the Blade of the Ancients.
Chupakoko and Akadan also did not participate in the reconstruction work for the time being. At this moment, Chupakoko was curled up and sleeping with his head half resting on the crystal and half hugging it.
The giant lizard Kami was not treated so well. He wandered around in the passage and participated in fierce battles during the day. Now he was carrying huge stones under the command of the lizard priest.
But Kami the monitor lizard had no complaints, nor would he, for he seemed destined for this great cause from the moment he was born in the hatching pond. But for some reason, he felt as if the rock on his back had become lighter? Or perhaps his strength had increased?
In the first half of the night alone, nearly 10,000 lizardmen were teleported here, which made Mazdamundi exhausted. However, he felt particularly fulfilled psychologically, a feeling he had never had since the end of the invasion.
At this moment, Mazdamuddi was transported to the main lens device on the top of the mountain in a carriage. Rain kept flowing outside his magic barrier. He raised his head to observe the lens system, and kept eating dried Ehi grubs in his mouth to recover.
Mazdamundi felt a sense of bewilderment over the evening meal. He wasn't used to Umak's cuisine, and even after a few bites, he still didn't think it was particularly appetizing. He also had no idea why the hot-blooded and Chupakoko were enjoying the food so much. But out of politeness and respect for Umak, he said nothing and simply nodded his head in agreement.
Mazdamundi studied the lens device for a while but couldn't figure it out. He closed his eyes and began to use telepathy to contact other Slann lords on the continent of Lustria through the spiritual vein network.
The example in the previous article is a bit inappropriate. The telepathy between the Shilans is more like a QQ group where no one talks.
Of course, the Slann in the southern rainforest of the Old World have been disconnected from the Internet since the sinking of Chapeyuto. Now they have formed a small group on their own to maintain each other.
The group usually posts some information, such as the City of Echoes, the rift in Zahuitakri has been opened again, Chaos Demons have appeared, and the armies of various temple cities need to be dispatched, or a certain Slann has some new insights and opinions on the big plan.
Occasionally, there would be heated and intensive discussions in the group, such as when Lord Huahua expressed his views on the Grand Plan, claiming to have won a five-hundred-year-long debate on how to treat young races. Although he seemed to have won that debate, in protest, no Shilan responded to his message for the next thousand years.
A while ago, after Umaq arrived in Lustria, Mazdamundi had expressed his opinions and views in the group, but the response was mediocre. This time was different. He needed to figure out this lens system, and he needed to get some Slann over.
This time, a quick reply arrived from the group. It was from Adoshi Tehega of Taraxlan. He hadn't been meditating lately, but was instead directing the reconstruction of Taraxlan. Although he and Mazdamuddi were both second-generation Slann, they didn't usually interact.
"coordinate!"
The next second, Adohi Tehega teleported over.
"coordinate!"
There was also a third-generation Slanthrod lord from Itaza, the first city, who came to watch the fun.
The two newly teleported Shilan stared at the lens device for a long time in silence under the protection of the temple guards, and soon dawn broke.
Daxus got up very early. He felt that he would have a lot of things to do today. After washing up, he and the Druchs found a place sheltered from the rain and started a new day of training.
Bainie and Flanais were sparring with each other with the Quetli halberd, with Bainie mainly instructing Flanais and teaching him some methods of using the halberd.
"How is it?" After practicing for a while, Daxus, Water and Ryan watched from the side with their hands half-swords, and asked after Bainie and Franais finished their practice.
"My Lord, Edrezer, this is really a good weapon! It feels just right in the hand, but the power and destructive power when it hits the target are surprisingly great." Bainie said excitedly.
"You studied it all night?" Daxus looked at the dimming magic light on Bainer's Quetli halberd and the two suspended balls, which were no longer moving. He then asked, "Did you study it all night? Why do I feel like I'm out of energy?"
Dacuus put his half-sword into the scabbard, took over the Quetli halberd from Flanais, and triggered the mechanism on the halberd handle.
"Sure enough, it seems this thing still needs to be recharged?"
After the mechanism of Franais's Quetli Halberd was triggered, the magical light emitted was obviously brighter than that of Bainie's, and the floating ball also rotated relatively faster. It can only be said that everyone's research focus is different.
"Try again after turning off this mechanism?"
"It's not that destructive anymore. I thought this button was just a decoration." After Bainie triggered the mechanism, he tried a few more times.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what this weapon will look like once it's fully charged. Let's eat first. I have a lot of work to do today."
The broken stones blocking the entrance of the End of the Road Cave were removed by Mazdamundi's magic. Now the lizardmen, led by the three Slann lords, lined up and waited for Umak's arrival.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Daxus brought the Druzis to the entrance of the cave. He said he was sorry, but there was no embarrassment on his face.
"Who is this?"
"The third generation Lord of Slanthrod of Itaza," Mazdamuddi introduced.
After a while of pleasantries, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The Slann and the Lizardmen seemed to be waiting for Daquus's instructions?
"It seems I have gained some prestige? It seems Umak's reputation has worked? They seem to be waiting for my instructions?"
Dacreus jumped onto Mazdamudi's palanquin, thinking as he looked at the line of Skink Temple architects holding strange instruments in their hands. It seemed to be some kind of level?
"Ryan, your mission is to lead the temple architects in measuring the length of the lower passage and the height of the large cavern. Also, the distance from here to the underground sea. After the measurement, draw a blueprint for me."
"Yes, sir."
"Chupakoko, your mission is to lead the Skins and Monitors to find where those stubborn spiders came from and re-block the breach. If possible, check to see if the energy transmission device is damaged."
"Kalyon, select five animal trainers from your family to go with them." After giving the order, Daquus was still worried and added another sentence.
"Yes, respectful Umak!"
"Yes! Master."
"Akadan, lead the incubation pool cleaners to clean the incubation pool." Daquus continued to give orders in an orderly manner.
"Yes! Respected Umak."
"Take the Skinks and Giant Lizards to clean up the slime and garbage in the passages and large caves. Clean all the garbage into the first cave after entering the passage. There is also a giant spider's corpse in the passage. Pull it out." Daxus looked at a Skink Lizard Priest and continued to give orders.
"Yes! Respected Umak."
"Walter, take the Skink Oceanite Miners and the Giant Lizards to the mines and look for the giant crystals inside."
"Yes, sir."
"Elmir, take your family's sailors to the underground sea to observe and find out what the two corpses in the passage are."
"Yes! Master."
"Let's go to the foundry. There are stone slabs in there. We have to find a way to activate the lens device of this great city!" Daxus ordered the three Slann.
After giving the order, Daxus took out the Echo Drum from his waist and started beating it rhythmically.
"Let's go! For the big plan! For the great city of Spikazuma!"
The Lizardmen present heard the drumbeats and Daquus' passionate shouts and began to cheer, raising their weapons and tools.
The giant beasts also roared loudly. Although the Druzis could only understand a few of Daquus' words, it did not stop them from joining in the noise.
As Daquus gave his orders, the three Slann kept looking at him, nodding in agreement from time to time.
Daquus brought a small group of Druzy and three Slann, as well as the temple guards who protected them, to the foundry.
Mazdamundi's orb of light illuminated the entire foundry, and the stone slab floated before the three Slann. A moment later, their magical eyes suddenly widened, and a deep, endless chant suddenly flooded the entire room. They began to study it carefully and discuss it telepathically.
The remaining Quetli halberd in the foundry was carried on Daquus's shoulder. He was opening the mechanism of the passage and leading the lizardmen and behemoths to pull out the star monument of the ancient saint Ichi.
"What is this?" Daxus waved his hand to let the lizardmen stop first. He recalled that he seemed to have not checked the contents on the stone tablet after the initiation yesterday. At this moment, he was attracted by the contents engraved on the star tablet and began to study it carefully.
"No way?" Daxus walked around the star monument, gasping in surprise as he looked at it, as if he had sucked out all the air conditioning in the room.
There is nothing bizarre engraved on the star monument of the ancient saint Ichi, such as the prophecy of the arrival of Umak, Daquus, and the clichéd story of leading the lizard people to glory again.
But Daxus felt that the content on the star monument was even more outrageous than this. It clearly recorded the construction method and usage of the blessing incubator. He turned around again uncertainly and finally confirmed that it was true.
"This is a great discovery."
Daxus had seen the Blessing Cultivator in Hesiota before. Although the Skin Lizards cleaned it every day, the huge device had always been in a state of disuse and inactivity.
Chupakoko had told him that if the Blessed Incubator functioned properly, he could place the eggs of various Lustrian beasts and behemoths within the incubator. The beasts and behemoths within the eggs would hatch in a remarkably short time, rapidly progressing from infancy to adulthood, and each would bear the mark of blessing left by the ancient Saint Ich. Compared to wild and naturally hatched beasts and behemoths, they would be larger, more resilient, and possess enhanced physical qualities and intelligence.
The pterosaurs, beaked dragons and feathered serpents flying in the sky, the fire lizards, spinosaurs, cold lizards, ancient fire lizards, triceratops, ankylosaurs, arcane dragons, lizards and Tyrannosaurus Rex running on the ground are all within the blessing of the ancient saint Ichi, and of course there is also the only thunder lizard on the continent of Lustria.
"Good! Very good! Excellent! It would be great if every temple city had one."
"Do you know what's on this star tablet?" Dacus stroked the tablet and began to playfully mystify the Druks with great interest. Without Walter and Ryan, the two bright supporting actors, Alyssa could only play this role under her brother's crazy suggestion.
"My Lord, is this the cornerstone of our great cause?"
