Kuga's visit was of course not to be neglected, so Levi and Khalida quickly rushed to meet him in person.
Since the opponent did not enter the city directly and his Tyrannosaurus was too tall, anyone with a little knowledge could know his true identity.
Many of the chosen heroes in the city also want to go up and say hello to each other, see if they can ask for a mission or something, or simply get to know each other.
It's a pity that Khalida had already expected it. At this critical moment, she didn't want to be seen clearly by Kuja because of any accident.
Therefore, some tomb generals and tomb technicians had brought a large number of death guards to maintain order in advance, and invited Kujia to her palace.
The two forces have been neighbors for hundreds of thousands of years, and this is the first time in history that Kuga personally visited her capital.
The only one who was lucky enough to walk side by side with her was Li Wei.
Many of the God-chosen heroes are envious and jealous of this, but most of them are helpless.
Although the other party had only been in Lahmia City for a short time, Khalida was hopelessly kind to him, which they couldn't understand at all.
Even if Li Wei is indeed very powerful, there is no need to praise him so much, right? She simply regards him as a friend who can be an equal!
But Kuja was not interested in Khalida's invitation at all. He just kept his cold and calm tone:
"Levi, you owe us lizard people, and now it's time to repay this debt."
Khalida frowned suddenly, knowing that the other party was talking about the last time she broke into the Bone Temple without permission.
It was Li Wei who blocked this matter for her at that time, but she didn't expect that the other party would come to Li Wei so quickly to ask for repayment. This was completely inconsistent with her normal understanding of lizard people.
Therefore, this also shows in disguise that the lizard people really encountered a very urgent and difficult to solve problem? And only Li Wei can solve it?
Levi also thought of this, but he nodded happily: "Yes, I remember it."
Seeing his admission, Kujia didn't say anything, but just reached out and took out a miniature pyramid.
In addition to the Tomb Kings, the Lizardmen also use pyramids, but their uses are different.
Tomb Kings regard them more as a special fortress for sleeping.
The lizardmen mainly make them into various special magical equipment, including but not limited to special mounts that can fly, amplification spells or props for communication, etc.
What Kuga took out now obviously belongs to the latter.
But the platinum-gold light shone, forming a spherical field that just happened to envelope the three of them.
Then an old male voice spoke: "Elf boy, I need you to bring your ring to save Lord Croca."
His voice was slow, but strangely full of majesty and power.
Coupled with his unique oral habits, both Levi and Khalida were immediately certain that the other party must be Mazda Moody, the oldest and most powerful demon toad priest in existence.
Whenever he mentions foreigners, he always uses the word "Zai". This is not disrespectful, but just out of his personal habits.
And based on his age, including Khalida and even many gods, maybe none of them have existed as long as him.
But what really shocks people is that key name.
Mazda Moody is very strong, but he is only the second-generation Demon Toad, and there are first-generation Demon Toads above him. Lord Croca is the first first-generation Demon Toad, and he is also the strongest existence among them.
It is said that he is the chosen one by the gods and can literally pick off stars and move mountains and seas. His performance in the main world is much more powerful than many gods.
Many beings believe that his legend is not on the same level as ordinary legends.
Some people even believe that he is not a legend at all, but that he may be the incarnation of Tebok, one of the ancient saints that the lizard people believe in.
In short, his power is unquestionable.
There are many legends about him, and the most famous one is the battle before his death.
Lizardmen and demons once had an ultimate showdown. The demons dispatched an army of millions and at least dozens of demon lords at one go, launching a landslide-like tsunami-like attack on the Lustria rainforest.
The legendary hero of the Lizardmen, Ku'ga, has the title "The Last Guardian", which he got in that war.
All the lizardmen in an entire city were killed, leaving only him and his mount.
But the siege he experienced was not the largest and most brutal. The focus of the war was Itaza, the "original city" of the lizard people.
There, two legends were fighting.
The giant lizard Nakai, now known as the "Wanderer", alone guarded the Star Bridge leading to the core area of the city and killed a quarter of the invading demons.
Another legend, Lord Croka, one of the first generation of demon toads, used his powerful power to destroy about three-quarters of the remaining demons.
But there were still strong ones among the demons who survived, including twelve demon lords. They tried their best to kill the powerful demon toad who lost his guard.
But although Lord Croca's physical body died, the full magical energy did not dissipate.
After he was freed from the shackles of the body, he even refused death for a time.
Then he killed the twelve demon lords in one move and purified all the demon legions near the city before he truly passed away.
Although there is a huge gap in strength between demon lords, those demon lords who have the courage to go to the main world and launch such a large-scale attack on the lizardmen are basically legendary level.
When the levels are similar, legendary demon lords are much more difficult to deal with than legendary human warriors.
But in front of Lord Croka, they were like soldiers and were easily killed instantly. He was the strongest mage in the main world at that time.
After his death, the famous Mazda Moody gradually inherited this title.
It was precisely because of his passing that the monitor lizard-Nakai became a wanderer.
Even though most monitor lizards have low intelligence, the lizardmen even tie their weapons to their wrists to prevent them from finding their weapons when they need to fight.
But as a legend, Nakai is of course different from most of his kind. He may also feel guilty for failing to protect Lord Croca.
So from then on, he searched for the existence of demons all over the world and killed them.
This is the history that Levi and Lilith know.
But now it seems that Mazda Moody actually said that Lord Croca is not dead?
This may not be of direct benefit to Levi or the high elves, but it is of great benefit to the lizard people and even the entire lawful camp.
For such an important matter, why would the other party ask Li Wei for help?
Then Levi's eyes fell on a certain ring on his hand. Is it possible that the reason why Lord Croca did not die in the first place had something to do with the God of Mystery Locks?
Mazda Moody quickly told the general story, and it was indeed related to the God of Mystery.
After the death of Lord Croka, he did not disappear completely. Instead, by coincidence, the God of Mystery Chains helped him a little and sealed him.
Thanks to his abundant strength and strong soul, he will return one day.
But then the God of Mystery died unexpectedly in battle, and the lizard people completely lost the clues about Lord Croka, because he was not sealed in the main world, but in some super small alien plane.
Kuga easily let go of Kalida who offended their temple before, precisely because Li Weiwei had the ring of the God of Enchantment.
But at that time, they did not expect that it would come in handy so soon, because they had been searching for thousands of years and still could not find Lord Croka's sealed place.
Until a few days ago, a lizardman God-chosen hero suddenly reported that he had found a clue.
The nearby Skink Priest confirmed that this incident was indeed true, and for some reason, the seal became much looser, and they noticed that there was a stench unique to demons inside.
Therefore, they seriously suspected that either Lord Croca and the demon were sealed together, or the demon discovered it in advance and was preparing to murder him again.
But despite this, God's power is difficult to break in a hurry.
If violence is used, Mazda Moody is worried that the seal, the demon inside, and Lord Croca will all be killed.
Some small planes may not be able to withstand his powerful power.
Therefore, in order to avoid the worst outcome, the lizardmen need to be Lord Croca's help, and they also need Levi's ring to open the seal.
After listening, Li Wei immediately said happily: "No problem, I am willing to accept this task, and I will bring my army to rescue Lord Croca."
Khalida also said that she would go together, because the real origin of this incident was because of her.
If those demons dare to attack Lord Croca, they will definitely not be ordinary soldiers, and of course she will become Li Wei's help.
But Mazda Moody flatly refused: "No, Kuga will go with his army."
Lizardmen and Demon Toads do not understand the ways of the world and do not value the etiquette of mortals, but they are not stupid. Let Li Wei bring the ring to help, which is to repay the previous kindness.
But letting him lead the army to kill the enemy is another matter.
Khalida was a little confused: "Won't you personally participate?"
Although she is also the leader of a party, her attitude towards him is respectful. This is a reverence for power and power.
"There have been recent movements of Tzeentch demons in Lustria. I suspect that high-level Tzeentch Demon Lord is involved, so I will not go there immediately."
The implication is that unless Kuja can't handle it, he will most likely be on standby at the back to prevent emergencies.
Khalida is still somewhat confused because she doesn't know much about Tzeentch, but as a mage, Levi has made up his mind.
According to Lilith, the high-level All-Changing Demon Lord Tzeentch was born to restrain the Demon Toad Sacrifice.
In the distant past, Tzeentch once created a guy named Carlos and asked him to participate in the first great demon invasion.
The strongest first-generation demon toads at that time were still there, but Carlos never lost a single battle against the demon toads.
Although this is also related to the fact that he has not met Lord Croka, his power is also evident. He is the strongest known high-level ever-changing Demon Lord of Tzeentch.
Later, Tzeentch created more replicas. Their strength and intelligence may be much worse than Carlos's first experiment, but their achievements are still very brilliant.
They probably killed more demon toads than all other demons combined.
It is said that they can cut off the relationship between the magic toads and the giant spiritual network to a certain extent, greatly reduce the spellcasting ability of the magic toads, and can very effectively break their magic protection, etc.
If such a demon really appears in Lustria, Mazda Moody will definitely put most of his energy there.
He himself might be fine, but if other demon toads were attacked, they might die, which would be a huge loss for the entire Lizardmen clan.
For the guardian-type lizardmen, about 80% of their wisdom and spell-casting abilities may be concentrated on the magic toad.
About 15% are concentrated on those skinks that serve as craftsmen, scouts, and demon toad waiters.
The remaining lizardmen, monitor lizards, and even various dinosaurs share the remaining half.
The number of extant magic toads is unknown, but they are certainly extremely rare.
Basically every town only has one, and some even don't have one.
For example, of the Tebok Seed mentioned just now, their boss is a Skink Priest. Whether it is wisdom or magic, he obviously cannot compare with the real Demon Toad Priest.
As the most powerful and highest-status Demon Toad in existence, and the nominal leader of all lizardmen, Mazda Moody is of course responsible for nipping this danger in the bud.
Upon seeing this, Li Wei simply revealed part of the information he knew about Slaanesh and the corruption of Tzeentch in the Twin Moon World.
As soon as the words came out, he could clearly feel that the other party's attitude also changed slightly.
"So that's it, have the four gods Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Chaos shown their traces one after another?"
"Nurgle and Khorne?"
Li Wei's heart immediately moved: "I heard, the seed of Taibok"
Lord Croca was once considered to be the incarnation of Taybok. Now that Taybok's seed had just suffered a heavy blow, Mazda Moody took the initiative to come to the door and said that he had found traces of Lord Croka.
Is all this really just a simple coincidence?
Before he could finish speaking, Mazda Moody had already groaned: "They were affected by the plague of Nurgle, so they were successfully attacked by the dark elves."
Hearing this, Kuga next to him also became a little commotion.
Although the Tepok's kind have always been very withdrawn, even unwilling to obey the orders of Master Mazda Moody, they are still part of the lizard people.
They just looked a little stupid because they didn't have a magic toad to lead them.
After saving Lord Croca, he may have to repay the blood debt from the dark elves.
He was very familiar with this matter, because when he was on the Lustria continent, the dark elves from the north often invaded the rainforest to hunt dinosaurs and had conflicts with them.
Levi and Khalida looked at each other and suddenly realized.
Nurgle is best at plague. The lizardmen there must have been severely weakened in all aspects, so they were defeated so easily by the dark elves.
Speaking of which, this matter may have something to do with the rat people.
The plague they spread throughout the human realms must have strengthened Nurgle's power to a considerable extent.
As for the last Khorne, although Levi has not seen it yet, and Mazda Moody has not said anything about it, Khorne is known as the "Blood God". As long as there is war and killing, he can gain power.
And in this chaotic world, these two things never stop.
The main world may be relatively peaceful, but demons, devils and other evil alien creatures have never stopped fighting and killing.
Since the arrival of the God's Chosen Hero, the fighting in the main world has become more and more intense.
Perhaps among the four gods of Chaos, Khorne was the first to awaken and the most powerful.
However, looking at Kuga's appearance, after this matter is over, there may be a chance to join forces with him to deal with the dark elves.
But it may not be enough to just approach Kuga in this matter.
It's not that Kuga can't make the decision, but simply because the Lizardmen never engage in naval battles, and they don't have any warships.
Their usual tactic is to use magic to teleport directly to the opponent's home base and then start fighting, which requires the support of the magic toads from behind.
In any case, that was what happened later, and Levi turned to look at Mikaela with a smile.
Although he didn't go to sea to find out the truth at all, with Mazda Moody's information, he already roughly knew the reason why the dark elves succeeded in the sneak attack. I wonder if the Dragon Prince would admit it?
Out of the long-term tacit understanding, Michaela of course understood what he meant instantly, so she nodded affirmatively.
There are definitely rewards, but it's impossible to just give them all to him, such as the hill giants.
Because even if we know the reason, we still have to continue to find out how the dark elves used it.
Could it be that they cooperated with the Nurgle Demon?
This is not completely impossible, because their legendary hero, Malus Blackblade, has a demon lord in him.
With his own talent and demonic power, he has become a powerful being even among legends.
Maybe he used this to make some kind of compromise or deal with the Nurgle Demon.
However, based on many past battle performances, the demon lord in him does not look like a Nurgle demon.
Could it be that the Nurgle Demon also wants to get information about Lord Croka from the spirit of Tepok?
With the power of Lord Croka, let alone attracting the attention of two groups of demons, even if the four gods of chaos are interested in him, it is a very normal thing.
Levi couldn't help but lament that when the information was limited, his analysis often only led to more questions.
Just as Levi and Michaela made eye contact, a palm-sized disk-shaped ornament also flew out of the miniature pyramid.
Mazda Moody reiterated: "Elven cub, activate it, go and meet with Kuga's army, and then I will activate the seal."
"You took the ring to open the seal and found Lord Croca. After that, we were clear."
He did not reveal any more details, and Li Wei could understand it. After all, this matter was of great importance.
So he just said again: "I hope to take my subordinates with me."
Even though the other party said that the lizardmen would be solely responsible for the combat, he always felt that if the other party was a Tzeentch demon known for its cunning, things might not be that simple.
And no matter what happens, he can take everyone to watch the fun together.
Mazda Moody thought about it and said: "Elven cub, you can bring 10 people with you."
He was not allowed to lead the troops. On the one hand, the lizardmen did not need the opponent's combat power. On the other hand, it was also to avoid any accidents.
But the other party had just provided so much information, so he relaxed a little.
"no problem!"
Li Wei was satisfied now and took 10 people with him, which was a total of 11 places. Then he added Kai Ruilian, and the others just used the configuration of the previous trip to the Double Moon World.
With the strong support of Khalida and Mikaela, no matter what special situation occurs, they will have excellent response capabilities.
Just as he was talking, a series of rapid footsteps also came over. Long after Kujia appeared, Li Wei had already sent a message to Elegy and others.
Moreover, they all rode on mounts, and even brought Li Wei's Frost-Hearted Phoenix with them.
Although he didn't know how, Mazda Moody was obviously observing this place, so he took the initiative to open a part of the light mask so that they could come in without Li Wei opening his mouth.
The little female dragon looked at Levi slightly angrily, because she was currently being ridden by Cindy as a temporary mount.
Although her relationship with Cindy is very good, forget it in private. In this kind of public place, she also wants to save face, okay?
But she still didn't have an attack. She just secretly made up her mind that the next time she participated in a battle, she must ask for more gold coins from Li Wei to make up for her injured heart.
Of course Levi noticed her look, but he didn't care at all. Obviously, Mazda Moody didn't take the mount into consideration.
Or for him, this detail doesn't matter at all, he has enough power to control the overall situation.
So Levi didn't waste any more time and activated the disc in his hand on the spot.
So a few seconds later, when the light curtain dissipated, they had already disappeared, leaving only a bunch of God-chosen heroes staring at each other.
After regaining his senses, Levi found himself in a green rain forest, facing a silent army led by multiple Skink Priests.
It was after seeing them that Levi probably understood why the lizard people didn't need his help, because they were already strong enough!
First came nearly three thousand lizard warriors holding shields in their left hands and spears, maces or giant axes in their right hands.
They are all at least level 3. If they are veterans who have followed Kujia for many years, they have probably advanced to the next level.
If we compare the high elves' units horizontally, they should be similar in position to the Silver Guard, but more inclined to attack.
The racial talent of the high elves - Martial Arts. The triggering condition is that when the health value is higher than 50%, it can slightly increase the defense and attack power.
The racial talent of the Lizardmen - Native Instinct, the triggering condition happens to be when the health value falls below 50%, which can strengthen their attack power until they die in battle.
Looking at this aspect alone, high elves are better at fighting smooth battles, while lizardmen are better at fighting tough battles.
At the same time, similar to the green skins, the lizardmen will also have additional enhancements when using heavy cold weapons.
Next are hundreds of level 5 temple guards, and in horizontal contrast are the Phoenix guards.
But while they use halberds as weapons, they can also carry shields. Their flexibility may be much worse, but their defense is undoubtedly stronger.
Then there are some giant lizard warriors who look very similar to the crocodile men, but are much taller and have much poorer brains.
In Li Wei's view, they started at level 4, and their positioning was quite similar to that of the trolls. They were both consumables used to disrupt the enemy's formation.
There are a lot of them, at least five or six hundred, and several of them are obviously heroic beings.
Then there are some Ankylosaurus and Triceratops, ranging in strength from level 4 to level 6. The positioning of these big guys is similar to that of monitor lizard warriors.
If there are no professional druids to command, facing the regular army, it will not be able to fully exert its own power.
Because they are herbivorous dinosaurs, they can fight, but they are not good at it and do not like to take the initiative to attack.
But no matter what, having more than 300 large dinosaurs as human shields is still very comfortable.
Some Triceratops carry giant crossbows on their backs, or are equipped with multiple skinks using poisonous blow darts as weapons. Those are those that have undergone special training, and their combat effectiveness and actual value will be higher.
Before engaging in battle, they can consume a wave and then engage in close combat.
As for Kuja's personal guards, they are a number of lizard-man heroes whose scales shine with a special light and ride tyrannosaurs.
Generally speaking, the colors of lizardmen's scales are pretty much the same.
But if they are blessed by one of the ancient saints they believe in, the scales on a certain part of their body will show a completely different color or even shine, and they will also gain special power.
Coupled with the power of the Tyrannosaurus on the crotch, these guys will undoubtedly be very powerful in combat.
Although Tyrannosaurus is not the strongest war beast owned by the Lizardmen, it can still be placed in the top five or even the top three. It starts at level 6.
Finally, there are nearly 500 special cavalry riding giant-horned cold lizards, which is a bit powerful.
Cold lizards are not uncommon. Amazons, dark elves and lizardmen can all tame this beast and use it in cavalry units.
But the giant horned cold lizard not only has extremely eye-catching large horns and a spiked crown, but they are also very warlike, and their strength will be further improved especially after seeing blood.
As both a level 5 unit, the Giant Horned Cold Lizard Cavalry can undoubtedly defeat the Dragon Prince Cavalry.
There is no way, their mounts are too powerful.
Unless they are constantly charging each other in rounds, once a close combat begins, the giant horned cold lizard can easily kill most ordinary mounts in a few seconds, and even unicorns cannot be held back.
Although the undead rarely dare to provoke lizardmen, so there are almost no records of their battles with the terrifying knights in the past, but Levi feels that their strength should be on the same level.
Even if the Terror Knight is unlucky, he may be beaten by them.
After reading this, Li Wei also had a certain understanding of Kuga's power.
He is not greedy for those lizard warriors, and it is unlikely that he can recruit them.
Because the lizard people are very indifferent to foreigners, their reputation is one of the best and it is difficult to rise.
But they don't seem to value those dinosaurs very much, so there might be some opportunities.
Elegy and Donna were also a little excited. Even when they were on Paradise Island, they had never seen so many and powerful dinosaurs and big lizards at one time.
Then when he turned his head, he discovered that in another direction, there were about two thousand mixed troops of lizards and other races.
Noticing his gaze, the leading lizard man grinned and took the initiative to wave his hand towards him.
To be able to make such an action, there is no need to think too much, he can only be a hero chosen by God.
Levi also smiled and nodded in greeting. Mazda Moody said before that someone gave him information. Could it be the other party?
At the same time, even though Kuga did not speak, the Skink Priests also performed a joint spellcasting, summoning an extremely exquisite and gorgeous door, even with some hollows.
As soon as he saw its appearance, Levi immediately understood why Mazda Moody had been so sure of it early on, because it was 100% the style of an elf!
At the same time, he also vaguely felt the Ring of Mythryn moving, as if something was attracting it.
Under the gaze of everyone, as he slowly stepped forward, the connection became clearer.
It was so clear that Li Wei could confirm 100% that this was indeed the work of the God of Mystery Locks.
So I followed the guidance from my subconscious and lightly stamped the door with my ring.
Like pebbles falling into a calm lake, the entire gate rippled, revealing a strange world behind it filled with pink and purple mist.
Levi frowned immediately, and sure enough, Tzeentch's tentacles had already reached inside.
But then he was overjoyed, because he received a system prompt that the small amount of divine power belonging to the God of Mystery Locks remaining on the door had been absorbed by the ring.
This isn't enough to increase its power, but it might help reduce the curse attached to it.
Although this ring was temporarily lent to him by Lilith, Levi still felt very satisfied.
Lilith had long since confessed to him that neither she nor Yue Bow, Illidan, etc. could inherit the power of the Mysterious God.
The reason why she lent him the ring was because she wanted to make an attempt to find the person who really deserved the ring.
Now that he has found a part of the power left behind by the God of Mystery Chain, can there be any better proof than this that he is the most suitable for it?
The surrounding Skink Priests were also excited. Even if Master Mazda Moody had said before that the other party could open the seal, that was just speculation, but now they saw it with their own eyes!
Kuga let out an excited roar, and at the same time, Mazda Moody's voice also sounded from the miniature pyramid around his waist.
"Elf cub, you have done a great job. Now go with Kujia to find Lord Croka!"
