"We came a little late, sorry, but we finally made it."
Hogg's actions did not go as smoothly as planned.
It disguised itself as a soldier of the Broken Tooth Clan and clashed with the soldiers of the Broken Tooth Clan who were guarding the place as it galloped towards the Holy Land. However, Hogg was lucky. When he was about to be surrounded and annihilated, a belated helper arrived.
Finally showed up.
The huge blood wings that had not been seen for a long time unfolded in the desolate and gloomy night. Then in the gentle voice of Master Murphy, a dazzling lightning storm was controlled by the goddess-like Mrs. Trish and swept across the barren land under the ridge.
wilderness.
This scene is so cool.
Especially when Handsome Murphy is stuck and falls quietly in the background of the thunderstorm set off by Tris, there is quite a sense of chilling majesty like Batman's appearance.
Tris kept her hand, but she knocked the brave gnoll guards around them into coma without taking their lives. After all, after Hogg opened the Holy Land, the Broken Tooth clan, who are descendants of the "Secret Keepers", will also become
As a potential ally of the Blue Wolf Army, it would be a bit unseemly to make the relationship too tense now.
Hogg jumped off the warg excitedly, grabbed a bone knife next to him and looked ahead with vigilance, Nanak quickly stepped forward with a slightly disdainful gaze, and half-knelt down from the sky in a standard gesture of allegiance.
In front of Murphy.
The Lord Lord nodded, gently helped his servant up, and glanced at Nanak, who was being defended by several elite soldiers of the Black-Eyed Clan, and said softly:
"This is it?"
"Yes, Nanak Black Eyes, my master, Hugeson's lover and the mother of his children."
Hogg whispered:
"As long as she is in your hands, the God-chosen warlord will always be interfered with when making decisions. I brought her here just to hand her over to your protection. Once her identity is exposed, the entire Bloodscar clan and Biting
The Bone Clan will try their best to kill her."
"Fuck! Xianlang, I knew you were a traitor to the Jackal! You piece of shit!"
The conversation between Hogg and Murphy was not hidden from Nanak's listening ears. As soon as she heard that Hogg was about to hand her over, Nanak turned around and ran away, but the next second she was knocked unconscious by Tris who flashed over.
The mantra hits the body.
Nanak is an orthodox shaman that is rare among jackals. She is resistant to psychic powers, but the power of Tris's personal attack was not something she could resist. She tilted her head and fell on her warg.
, those black-eyed guards were at a loss, but they had been in contact with the Wise Wolf for too long and had long been brainwashed by Hogg's "Aura of Jackal Leader".
When Hogg said there was no need to worry, these guys withdrew their weapons and escorted the unconscious Nanak to follow the Wise Wolf.
Their current location was only one mountain pass away from the Gnoll Holy Land, and the Gnoll Civilization Museum was hidden in the bare valley ahead.
To be honest, this ghost place has no conspicuous features, neither spiritual energy gathering nor strange celestial phenomena. Hills like this are everywhere in the entire Dark Mountains, even in the territory of the Broken Tooth Clan, there are no fewer than dozens.
If it weren't for the personal guidance of the Bone-Gripping King, probably no one would pay attention to this ordinary barren mountain. It's no wonder that after searching for a hundred years at dusk, he still couldn't find the source of the Bone-Gripping King's power.
I don’t blame Dusk for not working hard, it’s really Philip, the jackal security captain, who is really good at hiding things.
"Even the guards guarding the Holy Land of the Broken Tooth Clan don't know the specific location of the Civilization Hall. They are only arranged here and are not allowed to approach this area."
Hogg led the way on a warg, and he introduced Murphy:
"Ever since the last time Sir Philip talked to Hugersen, it fell into a long-term lethargy. Although Sir Philip didn't say it explicitly, I can detect that its consciousness is getting weaker every day. Perhaps, the bone-gnawing king's
The second death is at hand."
"It will go where it wants to go, that's what I promised it."
Murphy, who was flapping his wings and moving forward, said softly:
"If you can bring the gnolls back to the right path, Philip's atonement will be mostly completed. The King of Bone Grinders is determined that as long as we open the gnoll civilization hall, we can resist the pollution of the Lord of Hunting. I guess in this place of creation
There should be other secrets hidden."
"We'll find out when we get in."
Tris, who was holding a notebook and preparing to record this moment, urged:
"You guys hurry up and open it."
"Well, according to the King of Bone Grinders, the entrance to the Holy Land is in a natural mountain stream, right in front."
Hogg was also very excited.
It drove the warg onto the gravel path leading to the depths of the valley. What was rolling back in its mind was its mediocre first half of life and the wonderful life in the past period. When it first became a "sage wolf", it often thought of itself.
Doubtful, after all, how could an ordinary disabled short man from Transia have the honor of saving the race.
But when he actually got to this point, Hogg calmed down.
Although he was a "hero" selected by Murphy's owner, he completed this journey of finding his roots step by step.
I have shaped the Wolf Army, and have reached this point with my own hands. I am already qualified enough to call myself the hero of the Jackal. If I take a step further, I may become a "great man" who will be remembered by future generations like Lord Philip.
”.
Its breathing became rapid, and a bright future beckoned.
"It's right here, this door."
Hogg quickly found a hidden stone door at the place instructed by the Bone-gnawing King. It was reinforced with the seal of the jackal's voodoo spell. It can only be opened in a specific way. Once it is opened incorrectly, it will awaken the surrounding people sealed in the rocks.
The spirit body devours the intruder.
Xian Lang took a deep breath and knocked on the stone door seven times with a specific frequency. Then, as the surroundings shook, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a steel door that didn't look like a mortal artifact at all, and a swamp exhibit.
The door specifications of the museum are exactly the same.
When he saw this thing, even Murphy became excited.
You've found the right place!
The second place of creation is at hand.
"Open it."
Murphy urged, Hogg nodded, and took out the Jackal's Civilization Slate from his personal bag. This thing is the key to opening the Civilization Museum.
Just like the exhibition hall, if you want to enter it, you must first obtain authorization from the Civilization Hall.
The Creator's things are always so full of formalism.
As Murphy complained, Hogg put the slate into the groove in front of the door. A blue streamer scanned the slate and scanned it again. Hogg spread his paws and made a rather religious gesture.
With a ticking confirmation sound, the empowerment of the Land of Creation was completed.
"Welcome back, distinguished spokesperson of civilization!"
The electronic sound sounded, causing Hogg's tail to wag. He coughed and gave an order:
"Please open the door! Guardian."
"The closure process is over and the Civilization Center is opening. Please wait."
The nice young lady’s electronic sound sounded again.
But after waiting for several minutes, the steel door in front of me didn't open, as if a certain program was stuck.
Murphy, Tris and Hogg who were waiting in front of the door looked at me and I looked at you, as well as the Wolf Army guards who were eagerly waiting to see the miracle. They also became confused, filling the air with embarrassment.
"Well, maybe there's something wrong with the program. Let me try."
Murphy took a step forward to break the embarrassment. He placed the Vientiane device in front of the authentication device at the gate. After scanning the electronic sound, he immediately changed to a more respectful and less legit tone and called:
"Welcome to the Jackal Civilization Hall to guide the work, respected administrator Alpha! The special empowerment program of the Civilization Hall has been activated, and the highest management rights of the venue are temporarily transferred to your authority tree."
"Very well, Guardian, please open the door."
Murphy nodded with satisfaction and gave the order.
"Please wait."
The electronic voice responded again.
But after waiting for a few more minutes, the door still didn't move.
This time Murphy frowned, he turned around and said to the people behind him:
"Something's wrong, there's another authority in the Civilization Museum that's preventing us from opening the door! There's something inside, be prepared for a fight! I'm going to force the door open."
"Can your administrator rights still be used in this way?"
Tris asked in surprise.
She didn't know that in the Creator's system there was such a thing as forcibly opening the door. Hey, don't mess around. Judging from the security measures at the exhibition hall, if you forcefully destroy the door, you might be killed by the security system of this place of creation.
Crushed.
"I have a unique way of opening doors, just wait and see."
Murphy showed a mysterious smile, took out his core orb, tossed it up and down, and placed it next to a certain interface in front of the door of the Civilization Museum.
He whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"It's so embarrassing, so help me, Eden. I know you're here."
No one responded to him.
But an invisible thing started to operate quietly at this moment, easily hacking into the data system of the Civilization Hall that had not been upgraded for more than a thousand years, casually mobilizing a console command hidden under the normal structure, and then through the administrator
Alpha's advanced authorization allows commands to bypass the firewall and take effect directly in the civilization gate control system.
A few seconds later, with a clicking sound, the closed metal door quietly opened in front of everyone.
"Please, spokesperson of civilization."
Murphy took back his core orb in a "pretending to be realistic and cool" gesture, and politely made a "please" gesture to Hogg beside him.
Xian Lang lamented that his master was always so awesome and low-key. He adjusted the robe he had changed into in a ceremonial manner and was the first to step into the brightly lit aisle in front of him with excitement.
But the moment Hogg stepped into it, Tris and Murphy acted almost simultaneously.
The Scarlet Witch fired a ball of lightning forward, and Murphy stepped forward and pulled Hogg back.
At the same second, a hidden human figure suddenly appeared, and the power hammer with rocket acceleration hit the position where Hogg was just now. The shock caused by the terrifying impact made the gnoll guards around him roar.
They rushed to defend Wise Wolf, and Tris's lightning strike restrained the mysterious attacker in place.
It was hard to move due to the strong electric shock, but it was unwilling to take even one step back. It still grabbed the burning war hammer and opened its claws to block everyone.
It growled:
"Intruder! This is the holy land of the Bone-Gripping King. Stay back! I am a loyal servant of the King and the brother of Sir Philip. I am sitting here under the King's order! You are not allowed to pass!"
"?"
This roar made Murphy raise his eyebrows, and the magic sword that had been shot out quietly hovered in front of the opponent's forehead, and it was only a second away from piercing this guy's head.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone clearly saw the obstacle in front of them.
That's a jackal.
A very old jackal.
Hogg swore that he had never seen such an old guy in his life. The hair on his tail was almost gone, his eyes were cloudy as if he were blind, and his body was so weak that it was even difficult to move. The reason why this guy was still alive
It can launch attacks because it wears a black exoskeleton.
But this thing is obviously much inferior to the hunting crown of the King of Bone Grinders. He was unable to protect his whole body and was paralyzed in place by Tris's lightning strike.
But the clothes this old jackal is wearing are very interesting.
It is not the traditional clan uniform of the gnolls, but a black uniform with an obvious futuristic style.
The complete top and trousers, as well as the shoes specially made for the jackal's curved feet, and the matching silver medal are hung on the chest, making it look like a qualified security guard at the entrance of a large company, full of Country Garden five-star generals.
of deterrence.
Murphy and Hogg recognized the uniform immediately.
This is what they saw in those memory visions about the Eden District, the uniforms that the Jackal security guards would wear, and from the old Jackal's solemn and angry shout just now, they can also confirm that this guy's
identity.
"Your Excellency, King of Bone Grinders, are you Chief Senke?"
Hogg exclaimed:
"You have lived until now? Have you stayed here all this time? But a hundred years have passed."
"and who are you?"
The old jackal who was paralyzed on the spot heard someone calling his name, which made him wake up a little. He looked at Hogg with turbid eyes and roared:
"Why did you bring foreigners to our holy land! You traitor! Why didn't my useless son stop you? Has he given up on his noble duty as a secret keeper?
asshole!
I’m going to strangle that useless idiot to death with my own hands!”
"This is more complicated to explain."
Hogg was about to describe the real "senior" in front of him, but he felt a consciousness stirring in his heart. It said:
"So, let Sir Philip explain it to you."
"?"
Old Senke, who had been guarding the Holy Land for decades, thought he had heard wrongly.
But the next moment, the bone-gnawing king's weak consciousness took over Hogg's body.
Although he was still a pitiful figure of a short man, his scornful aura that could not be disguised erupted, immediately making Old Senke tremble with excitement.
It recognized the soul driving the thin body in front of it.
It seemed that it had suddenly returned from old age to the passionate youth. It stood up straight in a snap. Although it was still paralyzed, the old jackal still tried hard to shout in a loud voice:
"Great King! You are finally back. I knew you would be just like a hundred years ago. When our clan was in crisis, you would return like lightning. Your holy land is safe and sound. I am guarding this place for you and waiting for your return.
.
Those idiots say you died in battle, but I don't believe it at all. How could a great leader like you die?
You are definitely just hibernating temporarily.
King, your soldiers are still here!
I'm still here!
Please lead us to conquer the world again!"
Its shouts were filled with fanaticism and loyalty, making all the gnoll guards around them look at each other.
What?
Is this old jackal in strange clothes crazy?
It actually calls Xianlang the "King of Bone Biters"?
At this time, Philip, who was controlling Hogg's body, looked at the old guy in front of him with emotion and guilt, who was still unwilling to admit the fact a hundred years later. He really didn't expect that because of his original order
, Old Senke actually stayed here for a whole hundred years.
One hundred years.
For the gnolls, this has been three generations.
It originally gave this task to Old Senke because it confirmed Senke's loyalty, but it did not realize what this order meant to the jackal in front of it.
But in the changing world, the story of the Bone-Gripping King has become a legend, and the era of world conquest has long come to an end. Now, when the two people from a hundred years ago met again in this way, even though Philip had no regrets in his life, he felt guilty at this time.
I can no longer suppress it.
"Senke."
Philip said in a deep voice:
"I'm back, your garrison is over. I know you have a lot of doubts, and I also have a lot to tell you, my brother, but let us get down to business now. Since you are still here, many things can be done easily.
too much.
I need you to go to the outside world immediately to stop the battle between the Broken Tooth Clan and the Canglang Army, preserve your strength, and prepare for war!"
"War?"
When Old Senke heard this word coming out of the mouth of the Bone-Gripping King, he immediately roared with great momentum:
"What kind of bastard dares to challenge you? Great King, even though I am old, I am still willing to be your vanguard. Please tell me, who are we going to fight?"
"Lord of the Hunt! An evil god shaped by my own hands"
The bone-gnawing king said in a deep voice:
"The mistakes made a hundred years ago should be corrected. Senke, as before, help me assemble the army!"
"A god? Ha, indeed this is an opponent worthy of you. Please wait a moment, invincible king, I will help you cough. I'm a little... uh... out of breath."
"Tris! Quick, use the electric shock technique. This old man is so excited that he's having a heart attack."
