Chapter 12247. French Fries
"Take a deep breath! Don't talk! Empty your mind! Don't think! Slowly put down your crossbow and look at me!" Daxus looked at Ryan and made a quick decision and shouted loudly.
The sudden white sweat on Ryan's forehead mixed with the hot sweat that came from not adapting to the jungle environment. He turned his head slowly and mechanically and blankly to look at Daquus.
"Is it Him?" Daxus began to ask frantically in his mind, and while asking, he took out the Drum of Echo from his saddlebag.
Daquus took a deep breath and began to beat slowly and rhythmically. The drumbeats seemed to take effect, and a burst of unbridled laughter echoed in his mind. After the laughter, he could clearly feel the Druki gradually calm down. They began to obey his orders and returned the crossbows to their original positions.
After hearing the drumbeats, the lizardman army stopped under the command of Chupakoko. Then they looked blankly at the Druzis in the center of the team, as if they didn't understand what Umak and this group of hot-blooded people were doing and why they suddenly stopped leaving?
The behemoths also sensed Dacus's current mood and did not make any noise.
By this time, the Druzis had recovered.
"Check the Ogham stone!" Daxus was still staring at Ryan nervously. He was really afraid that Ryan would suddenly grow another head. After saying that, he took out the velvet bag containing the Ogham stone fragments from the arms of his noble robe and checked it. The items inside were still in the velvet bag and had not turned into powder.
The other Duruchi nobles either took out the ogham stone fragments from their necks or their arms and examined them.
"My Lord, mine is intact."
"Master, mine is also intact."
"Distribute the ogham stone fragments in the bag to each Duruchi." Dakuus said to Walter, throwing the velvet bag over and adding, "Now start checking the items to see if there is anything missing or extra."
"Sir? Mine, mine has turned into powder. The fragments of Ogham stone have turned into powder." Ryan was really scared and could not even speak clearly.
"Is he okay?" Daxus asked in his mind.
Molayg Heg seemed to have not recovered from the confrontation just now.
"Akkadan! Come here!"
"What happened?" Akadan jumped down from the cave dragon and ran over quickly, his face full of confusion.
"Contact the respected Lord Mazdamuddi." After saying that, Daxus patted the big guy and jumped off its back.
The big guy sensed Dacus's emotions, and his not-so-bright brain was sharp enough to realize that something was wrong, so he didn't make a fuss with Dacus.
"Who is he?" Daqian looked at Ryan and pointed at Franais and asked.
"My lord, my brother."
"who is she?"
"My wife, sir."
"who is she?"
"My lord, my sister."
"Who are you?"
"My Lord, Ryan, Ryan Takia."
"What's this?"
"My lord, three!"
Darkus had originally wanted Ryan to recall his memories to see if there was anything missing or extraneous. But he suddenly realized that he was too stupid. How could he distinguish his own memories?
"Where's your notebook?"
"Sir, there are still a few pieces left." Walter had finished distributing a round and came to Darkus.
"Give it all to Ryan." Darkus said as he took the notebook and started flipping through it.
Akadan walked over, his eyes glowing blue again, and he put a hand on Dacus's other shoulder. Dacus suddenly felt the discomfort weakened.
"Shit!" Daxus flipped through the notebook for a while and started cursing. The key parts of the text disappeared, and the other words were distorted into strange symbols and marks that made his scalp tingle.
The surrounding Druccis all dispersed. They were not stupid enough to be curious enough to read the contents of the notebook.
Daxus flipped through the notebook quickly. Ryan's line drawing was still there. He had already turned over the page with the line drawing, but he felt something was wrong and turned back.
Sure enough, something was wrong. Darkus had seen this line drawing before, which showed a monument to the Dark Ankylosaur and Skogi lying on the ground. Now the monument had taken on a different form, filled with symbols that would drive people crazy.
"Fuck! Diuleilou!" Daxus started cursing again, and with the help of Mazdamudi, he continued to flip through the notebook quickly.
The following line drawings were also changed beyond recognition. The "untouchable" plant encountered when entering the jungle was turned into an extremely abstract thing. He couldn't even tell what the hell this distorted thing was.
The panoramic view of the city painted on the Hexoto Tower Bridge was also distorted, and the most annoying thing is that he even colored it! The line drawing was also turned into a dynamic image.
The sky turned purple-blue, and strange flying saucers flew around. The lizardmen walking and bustling in the streets were transformed into corpses lying on the ground, and the pyramids were reduced to fragments and damage. The painting was filled with purple-blue flames. The bodies of Mazdamui and the temple guards lay sprawled in the square of the Southern Star Pyramid, and the carriage had overturned. It was a terrifying scene, a scene of apocalypse.
"Hey, look, is this you?" Daxus placed the line drawing in front of Akadan and asked with a malicious look, pointing at the corpse.
The crow on the shoulder seemed to have recovered with the help of Mazdamuddi, and at this moment it was also tilting its head to look at the line drawing.
Dacus continued to flip through the pages, and found that they were all filled with His pranks and unfunny jokes.
The line drawing of Spicazuma, where Dacius blew his horn and looked down, also changed. The line drawing was filled with dilapidated scenes, which seemed to be exactly the same as when he first went there, as if telling him that he was very unhappy with the changes he had made in Spicazuma.
The most annoying thing is that the Darkius in the line drawing has become the Lord of Change!
"Grass!"
Daxus flipped a few pages back, and the Monument of Izata in the line drawing was also distorted, and there was no record after that.
"Although the revival of Spikazuma is part of the big plan, it seems that He doesn't like this change?" Daxus was now a little angry and laughed. He closed the notebook and patted it on his hand, and said in a teasing tone.
"Corrosion! Destroy it!" Mazdamudi's voice echoed in Daxus' mind.
"Here!" Darkus shoved the notebook into Arkadan's other hand. The next second, the notebook erupted in purple-blue flames, like a time bomb waiting for someone lucky enough to strike. However, Mazdamudi compressed the flames into Arkadan's palm, and they quickly disappeared.
Ryan watched from a distance as the notebook turned into a purple-blue flame. Cold sweat broke out on his head again, and he kept wiping his forehead with the wide sleeves of his noble robe.
"It's okay! You may have guessed it, but don't delve into it. No one can protect you when the time comes! Okay, let's get ready to continue."
The team was ready and set off. However, the atmosphere in the team was much more depressing than before. Dacus winked at Walter, who was stunned for a moment before reacting and starting to make small talk to liven up the atmosphere.
Raven was still standing on Darkius's shoulder in a daze.
"Grandma, how can you prove you're Moraig Heg? He can transform into any form, and a crow..." Dacus asked jokingly in his mind, shielding the crow's beak with his hand. He was afraid the crow would peck at his eyes.
This question seemed a bit tricky and stupid, and it even caused Raven to crash.
"If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't be alive today!" The raven thought for a while and then began to peck Dacus's hand fiercely.
"By the way, grandma, why haven't you appeared recently? Is it because of the spiritual vein network on this continent or because of those Slan people?" Daxus began to change the subject, asking and answering himself.
"It's the spiritual vein network on this continent that obscures my perception."
"Then can you see me when I'm at the spirit vein node?" Daquus asked curiously.
"I can only sense that you are there, the rest..." Raven shook his head.
"How about we set up a secret code for contact? I'm really worried that one day he'll turn into you and fall on my shoulders."
Raven thought for a moment and nodded.
"Some chips! How about that, my dear old grandmother?"
"Potato, French fries?" The word echoed in Daxus' mind again. The raven looked at him with disgust and flew away.
When they camped at night, Ryan found him just as Daquus had expected.
"Sir?" Ryan asked as he knelt on the ground after entering Daquus's tent.
"Get up. Don't do such strenuous exercise after a meal. It's unhealthy. Eat some fruit." Daquus was sitting alone on a chair, cutting fruit with a serrated dagger. After he finished speaking, Ryan slowly stood up and threw a piece of fruit to him.
Genevieve was considerate enough to go out at this time. She seemed to know that Ryan would come to see Daqian tonight. The arrival of night also made the vampires extremely active, which made Daqian a little overwhelmed.
"You should have guessed who the parrot was today. I suggest you don't think about it, and don't believe in it. Believing in it won't bring you the family revival you want. Besides, believing in it usually doesn't end well, like growing another head? Or turning into a bird? Or something else weird." After Dacus finished speaking, he began to chew on the fruit.
Ryan held the fruit tightly in his hand, showing no sign of eating it.
"Don't worry, the Oghamite fragments will protect you. As long as you don't do anything stupid, you'll be fine. After the notebook, I'll try to get you another one with protection."
"Yes, sir! I'll take my leave first." After getting Daquus's confirmation, Ryan's mood became a little better.
After Ryan returned to his tent, he had already eaten half of the fruit when Elmir asked a question.
After receiving Ryan's affirmative response, Elmir changed the subject, trying to divert Ryan's attention. For example, she wanted to become an admiral of the Black Ark like her brother, thereby increasing the influence of the Cold Eyes and Takia families in Druz society.
The matter was quickly over. These smart Druzys did not dwell on it, nor did they dare to dwell on it.
The team soon arrived at the outskirts of the sky city, Taranksla.
This temple-city is named after the ancient goddess of war, Taranksla. The spear of the goddess Taranksla wielded by Commander Ku Jaku is said to be her former weapon. Currently exclusive to all Lizardmen, perhaps this is standard equipment that can be replicated?
Furthermore, Nakai the Wanderer's original home was also Taranksla. After the temple-city was destroyed during the Great Invasion, Nakai became somewhat lost. Since then, Nakai has wandered wherever the Grand Plan requires his strength. His presence is a clear sign that a significant battle is about to begin.
But now there is only a hundred-man team of Skink Lizards from Taraxlan, led by the Skink Lizard Leader, guarding and on guard here.
The temple city is now in ruins, its walls gone, its statues toppled and its pyramids missing, with no signs of reconstruction.
After Chupakoko said hello to the Skink Leader, the team began to set up in the ruins of the square.
"This! Walter, you are responsible! And that! Ryan, you are responsible! Kallion, go and find out if there is a secret room in the remaining pyramid!" After arriving in this temple city, Daxus did not have the sudden feeling he had in Pahkos.
Daxus could only ride on the big guy and take the Druzis with him. He closed his eyes and began to carefully sense the position of the stone slab.
After giving the order, Daxus went to the incubation pool at the core of a temple city and found that it was just as he expected. The incubation pool was corrupted and not very large. It was filthy and smelly.
"Let's go."
The slabs were recovered over the next few days.
"This? Are you sure there is only this one?" Daxus was a little stunned when he looked at the contents on the stone tablet, because it described the production method of the spear of the god Taranksla. It seemed that this artifact was not unique, but there was only this one stone tablet, with only an opening paragraph and nothing else. It felt like a non-reproductive skin lizard author wrote a beginning that made the readers feel uneasy, and then there was no follow-up.
"Sir, this stone slab was buried deep in the ruins. We only found this one when we found it." Walter explained with his head down.
Daxus went to ask the lizard leader again, asking if there were any invaders or explorers who had visited here.
But this Skin Lizard leader completely changed Daxus's perception. It was the first time he had ever seen such a clueless Skin Lizard. He questioned it for a long time but it still didn't make any sense. This infuriated Chupakoko who was standing by and he even questioned the ordinary Skin Lizards on guard, but he still couldn't get any information.
Only the Skin Lizard Leader resides here permanently, while ordinary Skin Lizards are rotated on a daily basis.
Dacreus seemed to understand why this Skin Lizard leader stayed here.
Many stone slabs were unearthed from Ryan's side, but all of them contained stories about the ancient saint goddess looking down upon the world and displaying her divine power.
Moreover, the record was written in a very Spring and Autumn style. Daxus read it over and over again but still couldn't figure out what the ancient goddess looked like, which planet she was on, which time period, or even who her opponent was.
The only useful information was a few inexplicable combat skills. Daxus asked Baine to try to restore the combat skills but he messed it up and almost twisted Baine's waist.
"Amazing, really fucking amazing!" That's all Daxus could say.
However, some good things were dug out. The team led by Ryan found the spear blade of the God Taranksla, but the two floating balls and the spear shaft on the spear blade were missing, so they could only install a handle or spear shaft to use it as a traditional weapon.
After asking around, several Druzy dignitaries tried it, but quickly shook their heads and gave up.
The spirit lizards serving Tiga were so unskilled that they dismantled the spear he had used before and installed the spear shaft on the spear of the god Tarnksla. It looked out of place and extremely strange in his hand.
"What a low-profile version of Marshal Ku."
After staying there for a few more days, I still didn't find anything except worthless things like gold and gems.
Dacus gave the temple-city's reconstruction an extremely low priority.
"Let's go! Next stop!"
