This dragon lizard warrior is none other than Alvin the Falcon, one of Byron's three [Wild Hunting Servants] who still retains his sense of self-awareness.

It was also the super spare tire at the feet of [Variety Enchantress] Beatrice who licked to the last end.

The reason why he appeared here was not because Byron could not predict the prophet and know in advance that something was going to be wrong with Tayapan.

It's purely routine.

Governor Violet sent him, a Phi Man who was well acquainted with the indigenous civilizations, as an emissary to convey a stern diplomatic note to Tayapan.

When Theowakam, the Curled Nose King, convened a meeting of the upper nobles, he naturally sneaked in with the dark sorcery "Ritual of a Thousand Faces", which was very good at disguise.

The Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trading Company's branches stationed in various city-states were already responsible for the functions of an intelligence station in addition to trade.

It's also a very reasonable thing to have one or two internal identities ready.

Hearing Theowacan's unashamed declaration of war, Alvin also realized that things had taken an unexpected turn, and immediately moved in his heart, summoning the consciousness of Byron, the master.

"You want to steal foreign trade swords and munitions unknowingly, in order to use them to attack the Riptide Fortress, and then snatch my five crystal skulls?

I didn't expect that the number one skeleton still had the ability to command the other twelve crystal skulls.

However, the epic of chanting the merits of the holy relics has been lost for hundreds of years, and it is too much of a coincidence that this [Curled Nose King] was suddenly recovered, right? ”

After receiving Alvin's information, Byron couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Now the new king's arguments are strong and unassailable.

According to the Curled Nose King.

The dragon-shaped Itsumna is the head of the Taya gods.

As long as they grabbed the five skulls in their hands, plus one in their hands, one in Uxmal City, there were a full seven.

With the power of the No. 1 skull [Command the Gods], it is enough to summon the wind and rain and summon the divine dragon, oh, it is the dragon-shaped [Celestial God] Itsumna.

It shouldn't be much worse than the [Skinning Lord] and [God of Tyranny] Hippetotk of the Azk Empire who swallowed all his gods (Chapter 142).

Taking advantage of this Crown War, which has been suppressed for more than half a year, to hold a grand blood sacrifice is enough to push the other party to an unprecedented intensity in one fell swoop!

The plan was perfect.

In addition, Byron looked at the huge light and shadow of the five-colored five-headed on the altar up close, thinking of the legend of the five-colored dragon king in the Old World, and he had to pay special attention to it.

"Is there any connection between the two?"

Remain silent and continue listening.

Now that the leader has set the tone and strategic goals, it's time to figure out how to achieve them.

The nobleman who was quite sane and sober said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, our superior warriors suffered heavy losses in the Azk Royal City, and most of them died from the smallpox plague.

I've also heard from the merchants from outside that Hattings and the Sea Hunter are growing in strength so fast that they are now only below the Kingdom of Castile.

Even if we raid Riptide Fortress in the name of apology, we may not be able to successfully conquer the other party's fortress. ”

Hearing this, Theowa Kanhaha laughed, and the entire temple was buzzing.

"Have you forgotten where our transcendent powers and forbidden knowledge come from?

It used to be difficult, but is it still a problem for us now? ”

The nobleman who spoke at the beginning hesitated:

"You mean the earliest shaman, emperor, and great god Itsamna of the Imperial Age?"

Naturally, Byron thought about the same question.

In the mythology of the Taya, the thirteen gods (nature spirits) who live in the crystal skeletons are one with their ancestors.

Every ancestor who made an outstanding contribution and taught his people a specific knowledge was usually the emperor of the time.

After death, it will leave behind a skeleton and receive blood sacrifices, and will eventually become a natural spirit that resides in a crystal skull and gains corresponding powers.

In fact, it is a form of black magic similar to a life box.

It's just that after death, he will soon lose his humanity, and only retain his [divinity] and become a regular god.

For example, the third Crystal Skeleton came from an emperor named Yum Kax, who taught his people how to grow corn during his lifetime.

After death, a skeleton was sacrificed with blood, and eventually became the [Corn God] who lived in the crystal skull, and possessed the power of life, prosperity, and abundance.

As for the series of black witchcraft mastered by the Taya Empire, which is also the foundation of their existence, it was given to the Taya city-states by the first emperor and shamanic shaman, It-Sumna.

The Azk Empire, which only rose later, also inherited the knowledge of black witchcraft from the Taya Empire, and was able to catch up step by step.

Byron's extraordinary knowledge at this time is rich enough, and interpreting the source of black witchcraft from the perspective of an inhuman dark wizard is actually closer to the truth of the matter:

"All the forbidden knowledge in the hands of the Dark Wizard Order has a source, and it is 100% direct or indirect to a long-dead old god.

The "beast spirit warriors" that prevail throughout the Bantaan Islands are certainly no exception.

The earliest source of the legend is the Book of the Hundred Beasts (Volume I), which was obtained from the Mother of Monsters, Ekadena, and her series of monster children.

It was sacrificed by the blood of It-Sumna, who was still a shaman.

Until now, many of the indigenous depraved can hear the moaning and roaring of those monsters.

Speaking of blood sacrifices, what Dark Wizard Order can last longer and be larger than the indigenous blood sacrifices?

After hundreds of thousands of years of uninterrupted wars and blood sacrifices, the city-states have long been able to gather the [Bloodline Original] for transforming mythical creatures.

Boldly guess, what level has the one pointed to by those blood sacrifice rituals, and even a few monsters and a series of old gods, restored? ”

Theowakan couldn't hear him, but with a wave of his hand, he uncovered the silk covering the skull, revealing the true appearance of the crystal skull below.

It is indeed a half-human and half-dragon who has fallen, and the half-dragon's face is not only scaled, but also swollen and disgusting sarcomas.

A thick evil aura instantly filled the entire temple, and it also transformed into the appearance of a giant five-headed demon dragon.

also took a picture of the deformed face of the [Curled Nose King], like a demon.

"Rakamha, you are the first, come up and receive the gift of the [Celestial]."

Without waiting for the tribal leader with his mouth wide open, to react.

The white ice dragon, which had the same attributes as him, spewed out a breath at him.

"Whew——!"

Rakamuha raised his head and wailed, involuntarily turning into the appearance of a white dragon lizard, and the aura of his body continued to rise, but it also became more and more cloudy.

Obviously, the power has indeed increased, but it has also inevitably fallen into animal nature.

The so-called "blackening is ten times stronger" is nothing more than that.

Someone in the temple saw that the situation was bad and wanted to sneak away, but the heavy temple door suddenly closed with a "boom".

But it was the great shaman Karakol who stood in the way with a sinister smile on his face.

"Don't let anyone go, join us in the great evolution! Quack"

Theowakan's face became more and more deformed and distorted, and the multicolored dragon's breath behind him flooded everyone present.

"Whew——!"

"Roaring ——!"

A roar of pain came and went.

"Hahaha, the thirteen crystal skeletons and the throne of the emperor will eventually belong to me, Theowakan!

The eldest daughter of the Mother of Our Lord Monsters, Hundred Dragons Tiamat, will be the first to return. ”

The thirteen crystal skeletons gathered the knowledge contained in countless sacrifices because of the long blood sacrifice that lasted for thousands of years, and condensed the essence of the entire Taya civilization.

A single crystal skeleton is a [second-level holy relic] whose influence is limited to one city and one place.

But once someone can collect all thirteen, they can strengthen each other and reach the level of a zero-level holy relic.

And the last great shaman of the imperial era once left a prophecy:

"In the future, if someone can recollect the thirteen crystal skeletons, he will become the new emperor of the empire.

Thirteen Crystal Skulls will reveal to us the secrets of the past and the future through the mouth of the third skeleton [Corn God], which symbolizes life and abundance, and is the only one that can speak.

Resolve strife and reunite the Taya Empire. ”

This is also where the confidence of the [Curled Nose King] lies.

But listen to the very unfamiliar name he shouted.

It is clear that he has been accidentally polluted by the forbidden knowledge in the No. 1 skeleton, and has become the dependent of a certain heir of the mother of monsters behind the knowledge.

Like the original Nightmare Jörmungad, he became a devout follower of the old god [Hundred Dragons Mother Tiamat].

Byron, who was possessed in Alven, looked at the laughing [Curling Nose King] and the No. 1 crystal skull, and whispered to himself:

"Why are you carving your name on my crystal skull? You have a way to die!

In the future, the third child will only shout: 'Tayachin, King Byron!' ’

Wait for the destruction of the country, fool who does not measure his own strength! ”

Consciousness was instantly withdrawn.

Immediately, Alvin was also hit by a dragon's breath.
