Chapter 383: City of the Sun in the Rainforest

Move the time forward a little.

In the distant continent of Luscia, in the midst of lush rainforests, there is a large area of land surrounded by towering huge walls, pristine and mysterious.

Geographically, it is the equivalent of the Earth's South America, and as in history, it was seen by the Old World as an unexplored new continent full of opportunities and wealth.

In this place full of rainforests, quicksands, traps, poisonous snakes and beasts, and countless carnivorous plants, there used to be many prosperous and developed temple cities, they were once the oldest buildings in the world, but because of the departure of the ancient saints and the invasion of chaos demons, most of them have been reduced to ruins, and to this day, only groups of adventurers, pirates, and merchants from the colonies and all over the world will revisit these ruins, looking for so-called gold and treasure, and dreaming of getting rich overnight.

If they're lucky, they might be able to get a good harvest, but if they're unlucky enough to encounter a lizardman sentry patrolling the rainforest, or accidentally step into the territory of another temple city, it won't end up.

After many disasters and destructions, only four of the oldest cities of the Temple have been preserved intact: Itaza, the "Head of the Cities", Hesiota, the "City of the Moon" Taraxlan, and the "City of the Mist", Slan Mistek.

For 10,000 years, the lizardmen who live here have been silently guarding this continent and the entire world, fighting to the death with the demon legions that descended from the chaotic space, waiting for the day when their masters will return and complete the "great plan" together, for which they can pay any price and make any sacrifice.

Of the four remaining temple cities, the most well-known is Hesiota, located in the northernmost part of all of Luschia, near the continent of Nagalos, the stronghold of the dark elves.

The City of the Sun is the name of this magnificent and massive city in front of you.

Although not as old as Itaza, the "Head of the Cities", and Slanwupec, the "City of the Mist", Hesiota is definitely no less important than both.

It is the lizardmen's first line of defense against the northern invaders, and since more than a thousand years ago, countless dark elves have tried to invade Luschia through it every year, looting the riches that have been dormant in the rainforest for many years, as well as the ancient relics buried deep beneath the ruins.

For this reason, the Demon Toad Lord here, Master Mazda Moody, specially mobilized the "Spirit Vein Network" and used the "Mountain Moving Technique" that far exceeded the cataclysmic magic to raise a mountain range in the "Pajaukos Canyon" at the junction of the two continents, and built the strongest fortress "Pajakos Fortress", which was guarded by the "Sun Sigh", the most elite legion of the "City of Sun".

It is precisely because of these geographical and historical reasons that the "City of the Sun" has become the most fortified and armed of all the temple cities, and of course, all of this is inseparable from its lord, Master Mazdamoodi.

Compared with other Demon Toad Priests, Mazda Moodi has been significantly more active in the past thousand years, but this activity is limited to answering the questions and doubts of the Skinklord priests in the City of the Temple, but today, this lord, who has not stepped out of the Temple for hundreds of years, actually drove his holy stone throne to the square in the center of the city.

It was a huge square, occupying almost a tenth of the city, and was a place for the city's inhabitants to watch the great ceremonies and gather the legions for battle.

The wide, flat plaza connects all the city's main roads and residential areas, and along the way are lined with intricately carved stone pillars, and the stone floor is carved with simple but vivid scenes and symbols, telling the myths, events and rituals of the lizardmen's history.

Around the square, there are pyramids of different sizes, temples dedicated to the priests of the Toad, the most striking of each temple city, scattered around the central square, facing the square.

Unlike the straight conical pyramids of the Nehekhala kingdom, the "Land of the Dead", the Lizardmen's temple has a stepped structure with steep staircases on each side, and is adorned with elaborate statues on all sides and brightly colored totems of the gods, making it look more majestic, yet delicate and magnificent.

Like the location of the city of temples itself, the location of each pyramid temple was carefully calculated, and when the ancient saints founded these cities, the only factor they considered was to correspond to the celestial bodies above their heads, such as the "City of the Sun" compared to the scorching sun in the sky.

These temples also correspond to the stars overhead, only in this way can the "spiritual vein network" built by the ancient saints back then be able to exert the greatest efficiency, and the demon toad priests can absorb a huge amount of magic wind from it, which can be used to protect the entire city and cast unimaginable super magic.

And the bloated Master Ma came out this time, just doing such a thing.

Surrounded by many Skinkfolk priests and lizard-man warriors around the square, he led an army of lizardmen to the square, and then the whole person hung cross-legged in the air, floating on the exquisite and ornate sacred stone throne, and flew alone to the middle of the square.

With a roar that even the oldest Skinkkad priest could not read, the tops of all the temples began to glow with a blue light, and the wind of magic boiled violently like a pot of boiling water.

Some konks who have experienced a lot of scenes recognize this spell, "group teleportation".

This is a very troublesome spell, not easy for even Mazda Moody, the most powerful of all the living Demon Toad Priests, who only uses it in the most urgent moments.

Now this is the case, the Demon Toad Lord sensed the lost ancient holy stone tablet and recovered the stone tablet, there is no doubt that this is an extremely important thing.

As a result, the "Gray Dust" legion led by the "Sacred Halberd" Sa-ka was teleported over, but the magic was not over yet, and Mazdamudi still had to maintain the supply of magic at all times, because he also had to teleport his men back with the stone tablet.

Fortunately, the place where the other party was located was a magical space, which helped him save thirty percent of his magic power, and also allowed him to teleport his consciousness after the lizard ancient blood warrior touched the ancient holy stone tablet.

As for why he did this, the Demon Toad Lord himself didn't know, it was just a small thought.

Then his sleepy eyes suddenly began to glow with a breathtaking yellow light, and the corners of his muttered mouth splashed everywhere, but no one could understand what he was saying.

No one could have guessed that he was communicating with a low-level creature with a green-skinned soul with a human body, and at the end he teleported a magical item from his body.

A few minutes later, the Gray Dust Legion reappeared in the square, and with them returned the ancient sacred stone tablet that originally belonged to the "City of Ashes".

In the midst of the cheers, Mazdamoodi took the slate that Sa-Kabi respectfully presented, but instead of a smile on his face, he showed an extremely serious expression.
