Just as Hogg got Zhou Zhuo and his pet Xianglong, and sat on the grass, watching his avatar comfort his multi-duty Xianglong rice master, the closed courtyard door on the side was suddenly pushed open, and a panting Jinyu man strode in, he was the little profiteer Puoba who was left behind by Hogg.

"My lord! Wait a minute, this hermit has a strange personality, and he has always been ...... to guests who come to the door rashly," Puoba shouted as soon as he entered the door, but when he saw Hogg sitting on the grass with "Zhou Zhuo" opposite him, talking happily, the golden fish man was speechless.

"Well, I didn't mean to speak ill of you, honorable hermit!" Puoba hurriedly nodded and apologized to "Zhou Zhuo", this Jinyu man profiteer has been buying and selling in the jade forest for many years, and he knows very well who can be offended and who can't be offended, and Zhou Zhuo, a traveling scholar, is the type that must not be offended in Puoba's eyes.

Hogg's traveling scholar incarnation waved his hand slightly, signaling that Puoba himself did not take these little things to heart, he turned to Hogg in front of Puoba and said, "Since your problem has been solved, it is better to leave as soon as possible!" ”

"Makes sense!" Hogg nodded thoughtfully, it was actually just playing a double reed with his avatar in front of Puoba, and it didn't really want to solve any problems, of course, for Hogg, being able to successfully solve the hidden danger of traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo was the biggest gain.

Hogg then stood up, grabbed Puoba in his paws, nodded to the Scholar Avatar, and strode out of the courtyard wall, while the Scholar Avatar stood up and came to the door, he closed the courtyard gate, and complained with a little dissatisfaction: "I don't know how to close the door casually!" ”

As soon as Hogg came out of the Yellow Stalk Pavilion, he suddenly felt something peeking at him from the woods, so he turned his head to look in the direction of the peeping gaze, and saw that on the branch of a large tree outside the courtyard wall of the Yellow Sorghum Pavilion behind him, there was a crow, and when the crow saw Hogg suddenly turn around, he immediately flapped his wings and flew up.

But the crow didn't fly far, it landed on another branch, it cried "......... "Whoa", seeing that Hogg did not move, tilted its head and continued to look at Hogg.

Hogg probed with his soul tentacles, but found nothing wrong with the crow, so he shrugged his shoulders, "What?" Just an ordinary crow? Am I being too sensitive? ”

Hogg shook his head and walked in the direction of the main road, and when the crow saw Hogg leave, he flapped his wings and flew in the direction from which Hogg had come, and in a short time came to the shore of the lake of Pearlfin, and flew around the lake a few times, and then landed on the shore, and in a burst of light, turned into a human man in a black cloak.

If Hogg had been here at this time, he would have immediately recognized this human man as the former Tirisfa Guardian Medivan, the archmage who was supposed to be with Garona to help the warrior monks eliminate the demons in Kunlai Mountain, and the reason why he appeared here was actually because he also had to ask the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo to identify strange objects.

Previously, Medivin obtained many fragments of ancient magic artifacts from the demon leader of Kunlai Mountain, and the powerful shadow power contained in these fragments made the archmage extremely concerned, so after dealing with the wandering demons, the archmage turned into a crow according to the guidance of the warrior monks in the team, and went straight to the Emerald Forest to meet the knowledgeable scholar Zhou Zhuo.

In fact, Medivan arrived at the Huangliang Pavilion earlier than Hogg, but because of the cautious nature of this archmage, he did not immediately turn into his original form and visit Zhou Zhuo, but first probed outside, but before the exploration was completed, Hogg appeared outside the Huangliang Pavilion with a roar.

Because of this, Medivan can be said to have witnessed the whole process and witnessed how Hogg treated the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo and his pet, and the experienced archmage did not make any drastic moves because he discovered Hogg's secret, but immediately used various spells to disguise himself as a complete crow.

Medivan's response was undoubtedly very timely, because when he had just completed these spells, he was noticed by Hogg, but Medivan's camouflage spell had the desired effect, and even Hogg's best soul level probing was in vain.

Medivan stayed on the shore of Pearlfin Lake for about half an hour, and he also filled a bottle of lake water, and then turned into a crow again, flying in the direction of Kunlai Mountain, obviously the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo, who was manipulated by Hogg, was completely untrustworthy, and Medivan would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to expose himself, but in this case, he would have to find other scholars to help him identify the fragments of the Demon Ancient Artifact.

Although Hogg's appearance is just a magnified gnoll more than twenty times, Medivan will not underestimate it because of this, after all, tentacles or something are obviously not the standard configuration of gnolls, in fact, Medivan has only found similar organs in those dark creatures hidden in the underground and the depths of the ocean, and those twisted creatures are all chaotic and evil without exception, and they are irrational.

And a sensible and even cunning twisted creature like Hogg is the first time Medivan has seen it, not to mention that Hogg's disguise can be described as seamless, so at this time, Medivan's attitude towards Hogg is not only a natural vigilance and deep jealousy, but also a little curiosity to face the unknown that is unique to archmages.

At this time, Hogg did not know that Medivan had inadvertently discovered its little secret, and he was still chatting with Puoba the golden fishman in his claws about various strange things about the Emerald Forest.

"Where should we go now?" Puoba asked, only then did he notice that they had come to the avenue, and in the direction Hogg was heading, he could even see the rooftops of the hamlet not far away from above the woods.

"Isn't that Podong Village?" Puoba asked, he hadn't wasted all his years in the Emerald Forest, and he could identify all the villages at a glance.

"That's right, I've already smelled demons here!" Hogg said, its eyes squinted murderously, its nose certainly did not have such a spirit, but from the memory of Nasrezm's adjutant Gogannon, Hogg clearly understood that a female pandaren merchant named Naji in Podong Village at this time was the Nasrezm pretending.
