Nash the Gnoll Uh, no, it didn't take as long for Hogg the Gnoll to make a decision as he thought.

On the one hand, it may be because even if the jackal has opened up his intelligence, it is difficult for him to think deeply and intricately without receiving a formal education, after all, being gifted and being able to use it well are two different things.

On the other hand, the gnoll doesn't know if the vampire has unleashed some "evil spell" on himself.

After it was put in the cage, its mind was unusually active, like the feeling of brainstorming, the bad state that even if it wanted to stop thinking, it seemed that something in its heart was "ignited".

Murphy's words kept echoing in its mind, like invisible hands teasing the thoughts of the skinny but cunning gnoll.

It could clearly feel its own unusually high mind, and had even begun to fight against what little sanity it had left.

It's like a voice roaring, making it constantly think about what it will get if it obeys, if it accepts that "invitation".

Become a civilized person?

Be a part of the land?

No!

These are not very tempting for the gnolls.

Just as a man can't imagine a color he hasn't seen, a gnoll can't imagine a life he's never experienced, but those more realistic things are laid out in front of him as if they were within reach.

Smuggler Woodlands!

Of course it does!

The small clan before Hogg wasn't far from there, and it knew that the woods were very busy before the damned human war began, with smugglers carrying goods passing through there every week.

An older clan called the "Tearclaw" occupies the area, and their people don't even need to go out hunting or steal human food, they just need to stay at the junction and have a constant supply of food from caravans who don't want to cause trouble.

The Rip Claw clan also flourished as a result.

Unfortunately, the forest was abandoned after the war began, and it was difficult for the Claw Rippers to obtain free meat, but their people had been raised to be "lazy men".

They clumsily began to reclaim their gnolls too late, and the surrounding clans, which had long been jealous, swarmed up, and overnight, the claw tearing became history.

Well, his second mate was a member of the Tearclaw Clan, and the female gnoll with her smooth mane would often describe her "good days".

I am also very willing to listen to her tell those upside-down stories, and I learned my own Transancian language with her.

Because the Rip Claw Clan communicates with human caravans, the smart ones among them can always speak a few words that are fairly fluent in everyday life.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky, and she didn't make it out of the previous battle when Kenpot took over her clan, and was smashed in the head by a fierce brute.

Hogg began to think about it.

If you can regain your clan, if you can become the owner of the Smuggler's Woodland, if the vampire lord can fulfill his promise, will he be able to live a good life without hunting?

It doesn't understand why humans kill each other.

It had taken its people to the battlefields of the Translancian border at night to pick up "meat" to eat, and it had seen how the humans fought, and the way they killed their own people made the gnolls feel terrified.

But now that the war of humanity is over, that woodland will be as prosperous as ever.

Ah, that sounds like the start of a good day.

Hogg is a cunning fellow.

It is also one of the few leaders to survive the warlord Kempot's seizure of the clan, and of course it knows that obedience to vampires is risky, and that if the clan knows that he is a traitor, he will become the meat in the pot of those hungry guys.

It should have been a little more sane.

But the mood tonight was very strange.

It wants to think about it, but it can't, it wants to calm down, but it can't, it wants to think about the gains and losses, but it can't.

There is a fire burning in its heart, and it can't calm down when it burns.

The gnolls, who have not learned the knowledge and can be called "smart half-bred children", do not know that the name of that thing is "desire".

It just knows that it longs for the good days it can imagine.

It wants that fantasy to come true.

And the voice in its heart told it that it could not live like that under Kenpot, that the savage boss did not trust him at all, and that it came from the Dark Mountains looked down on the native Jackals of Translasia, calling them "".

maybe

Should I think about the bad kind of vampire again?

And take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't agree, what can you get? A death? A death that is not known to anyone, and will not be turned into rude stories by the people everywhere?

Ah, and biting bones

Every gnoll has heard the story of the "King of Biting Bone" from their parents, and of course in the stories of the Gnolls, the King of Biting Bones is always very powerful!

It's a super brute born of the god of the Gnolls!

It can smash the heads of the most powerful human cavalry with its flail and eat them along with their horses! It can pinch the craziest dwarfs to death, dig out their hearts and livers and roast them! It can even defeat the legendary elves and break the legs of those sissies, throwing them on rocks and crying to death!

The King of Biting Bones is invincible!

Even though it has been a hundred and ten years since the Fourth Black Plague, the native gnolls of Transencia still believe that the King of Biting Bones is not dead!

It's just hurt!

It just found a place to hide and recuperate from its injuries just like a normal gnoll, and when its bones grew well, when its strength returned again, then the Lord of Biters would reappear!

As before, it will lead the gnolls through the world, burning down all the cities in front of them, eating up all the food they see, and making every cub have a full belly.

Can he really call himself the grandson of the "King of Biting Bone"?

What if the King of Biters suddenly appears?

It won't recognize itself!

After all, he was so thin and so small that even the weakest brute under Kenpot's command couldn't beat him, how could the powerful King of Biting Bones give birth to such a weak grandson? A fake like himself would have been beaten to death by the king of biting bones.

But smugglers woodland.

Ah, I want it so much!

Regain your clan, mates, and cubs, as well as a never-ending supply of meat.

Hogg tossed and turned in his cage, it was tired, but it couldn't sleep, tonight was a hard night for the jackals, and rarely not because of hunger.

Outside the cage, Reed's little gnoll had been observing the strange skinny gnoll in the cage.

Although he didn't have much social experience, Xiao Wei was sure that the gnolll was moved by Lord Murphy's words, and he may be thinking about whether to accept Lord Murphy's invitation.

It doesn't even realize the danger.

But Xiao Wei Ming was born in a world with a history of 5,000 years, and she only needed to blink her eyes to come up with no less than ten similar historical stories, and the common denominator of those stories was to teach Xiao Wei Ming to maintain her heart in such a situation.

Feed!

Hogg, you're in front of you!

Don't jump, you'll be worse off than dead!

Xiao Wei Ming sighed.

She watched a plot by Mistress Murphy, and she would lose interest in going hunting.

Sitting in the dark, she connected to the team's communications, saying:

"You'll never think of what I just saw, the NPCs in this game are so scary, and Lord Murphy is so scary. I think if we play with the heart, we probably won't be able to play him. ”

"Huh?"

At this time, Lumina, who was looking for the next gnolll's lair with Orchid and Lady Water in the dark night, couldn't help but ask:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Xiao Wei Ming told her teammates what she had just seen and heard, and after she finished speaking, the other three fell silent.

"Real Otherworld" advertises that every NPC in the game is deeply played by AI, and the test team proudly claims that they are smarter than real people, and Xiao Weiming's experience seems to confirm this.

It's not just Lord Murphy who is cunning enough to be a mainline NPC, but even a captured gnoll captive will toss and turn as he thinks.

"Convince it!"

Orchid quickly made up her mind, and replied to Reed with the courage of a traveler and explorer:

"This is clearly a hidden mission! You may be able to convince the gnoll who was given the name 'Hogg Biting' to help Master Murphy convince him that we may be able to receive this hidden mission.

With the current main line, I estimate that the benefits from the completion of this quest line are absolutely amazing, and it may be directly related to the 'mystery expansion' that has not been released with much news.

I'm a little sure that the expansion must have something to do with the 'Black Calamity'! ”

"Oh, I'll try then."

Xiao Wei Ming cut off communication.

She gathered her thoughts in the darkness, then tapped the cage, and the gnoll sat up one by one, staring at her with shining green eyes in the darkness.

It's a bit oozing to be honest.

"It's not there yet! It's not dawn yet, you can't kill me! ”

It screamed.

"Don't be stupid, I'm not trying to kill you."

Standing at the edge of the cage, Reeds asked:

"Why didn't you promise Lord Murphy? You must know that Lord Murphy is quite a powerful lord, and if you don't agree, it will anger him, and he will tie you to the cross and burn you to death! Have you ever seen vampires burn their own people? ”

"I don't know."

Hogg squatted in the cage, and the skinny fellow said with some trepidation:

"I'm afraid that the King of Bites will beat me to death."

"Huh?"

She wanted to tell the gnoll in front of her that your Bone Biting King died more than a hundred years ago, and you don't need to worry about a ghost who can't even come back to life.

But when the words came to his lips, the little man of 155 suddenly rolled his eyes.

She snorted and said:

"Definitely! If the King of Biting Bones sees his grandson so cowardly and indecisive, he will surely beat you to death with his own hands and consider you a shameful fellow. ”

"Huh?"

Hogg shook his body, then asked:

"'Cowardly' I know, it's not a good word, humans will always call our kobold servants cowardly fools, I also think kobold are very cowardly, they are so many but they are like a pack of frightened rabbits, they need to be led by jackals to become brave.

But what does 'indecision' mean? ”

"Is this what you should be concerned about now? You idiot! ”

Xiao Wei Ming was laughed at angrily.

She knocked on the cage and said:

"You have to fight to win! I know it's risky, and you might be eaten by your people, but on the plus side, it's because it's risky, and it's because it's so rewarding. Haven't you heard that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish?

I tell you, Master Murphy's will is to destroy all the gnolls in all of Translasia, and we will do it!

Every gnolloll we come across will be mercilessly killed by us.

Unless you can gather your people together before we kill them all, you will be Lord Murphy's servants, and you will be able to walk sideways in Transia, and as long as you are obedient, no one will harm you.

You see.

Your people were going to die, but because you bravely stood up and led and protected them, they don't have to die and can live a good life.

They should thank you!

You'll be the only Gnoll boss in all of Translasia!

All the gnolls and kobolds will listen to you, and if the King of Biting Bones appears at that time and sees that you have become a powerful leader, perhaps it will show mercy.

After all, it's the king of all the gnolls!

You are its grandson!

You'd have to be at least the King of the Gnolls of Transencia to be worthy of this bloodline, right?

You can't be afraid!

It's because you know that you don't deserve the bloodline of the Biting King right now, so you have to work harder, fight a little harder, and make the Biting King satisfied with you and agree with you to use its name, right?

So what are you waiting for? ”

Xiao Wei Ming urged:

"Pledge your allegiance to Lord Murphy! After this village, there is no such shop. ”

"But. . . But King Kenpot. And the Biting Bone Clan, and my original clansmen. They all know I'm not."

"Hey, little problem, why don't you just kill them all? When you become the king of the gnolls, and you say you are the grandson of the biting bone, then you are! No one dares to deny your words anymore, and neither will the King of Biting Bones.

You know you can't, and that's okay, we'll help you!

Master Murphy will help you, too, isn't that what allegiance is all about?

Trade loyalty for something you need, so, think about it, what do you need most right now? ”

"Uh, a little bit to eat? I'm so hungry."

"Nope! Idiot! What you need most now is to save your head! When is it? Still thinking about eating? My life is almost gone! ”

——

"Very well, you made decisions a little faster than I thought, which is a good proof that you are a smart person."

Murphy looked at the thin gnoll kneeling at his desk in front of him with satisfaction, and the triumphant little reed standing beside him, and a smile appeared on the vampire lord's lips.

He took an orb of arithmetic from his psionic bag, threw it to Hogg, and said:

"Someone will teach you how to use this thing in a moment, don't worry, Hogg, I'll arrange everything for you, just follow my instructions, and everything you want will come true."

As for you, my warrior Ashina, fate has pushed you and your companions into this maelstrom, and you seem to be ready, so I have a great responsibility to you and your companions. ”

"Ding"

"Go, use your wisdom and courage, and I will look forward to your victory."

Murphy waved his hand rather formulaically.

Xiao Wei Ming pulled Hogg Bitingbone, who was still a little confused but had become a "neutral target", and left the office, and outside the door, the 155 dwarf crossed his waist and said to Hogg:

"Very well, from today onwards, I will be your kobold military advisor, Chief Chief. Let's go have a meal now, and then get you dressed, you really don't have any majesty at all. ”

"Huh? But you're not a kobold! Kobolds may be about the same height as you, but they're not as smart as you."

"'Kobold' is just an adjective, okay? You stupid gnoll, and you listen to me, if you make fun of my height again, I'll beat you to death! ”
