351. Eye of the Wolf God
The first bout of the Transcaia Championship was so intense that the "hot field" from Governor Murphy and the Vulture Knight seemed to be overheated.
After a few minutes of fighting, the two of them made a mess of the fist ring carefully prepared by the Blood Rat Gang, and there were not so many manpower and material resources to repair it at the moment, so they could only use it.
Fortunately, Translasia didn't care about these details, but they felt that continuing to fight bravely in the arena after the strong fight was a tribute to strength, so the remaining fighters became even more fanatical.
After Murphy exited to the cheers of his own people and young players, the championship officially opened, but the audience was extremely satisfied.
The Translancians are rough and violent, with a hint of the people by nature, but it also means that they respect the strong, and after seeing the strength of Lord Murphy with their own eyes, those who were still a little complaining about the continued rule of the vampires have basically moved into a new stage of "happy and convinced".
If you want to make a name for yourself in a place where the people are strong, it is so straightforward and simple, to paraphrase the words of the gangsters, as long as you are strong enough and strong enough, you can deeply penetrate your majesty into the hearts of the people.
And for the lords, it is better to be ruled by a wise, benevolent and powerful lord than to be ruled and led by a wise and benevolent lord.
This is not only due to certain stubborn nature of the Translancian people, but also to the basic needs of the wizarding world.
In this continent where supernatural forces exist, being strong enough means living a long time, and living long can ensure the smooth operation of policies until a set of rules can be passed on, so in this world, strong individual strength is only the basic condition for becoming a good lord.
If you can't even protect yourself, how dare you claim to be able to shelter thousands of people?
However, Murphy was not in the mood to pay attention to the hearts and minds of his people right now, and he would return to the Bloodrat Gang headquarters for a brief rest and lock himself in his room, ordering no one to disturb him.
Not only because he had just used Omega to make his whole body sore and tired, but also because the Valand Knight, who had sobered up, successfully handed over what Avalon had "handed over" to Murphy.
Looking at the scattered glimmer in his hand, Murphy was a little hesitant to check this "gift of the gods".
Even if he thinks on his heels, he knows the risks hidden in this thing.
After the Church of Avalon was rebuilt in Transnesia, it stands to reason that the god of nature had a variety of channels to convey his message to Murphy, the simplest of which was to "make a dream" to the current church leaders and ask them to relay.
But Avalon didn't choose to do that.
Instead, he communicates information through the "unlikely event" of the Wood Grail, and some of the circumstances revealed are enough to make a guy like Murphy think about it.
Murphy was certain that Avalon didn't want this exchange of information to be noticed by other "great powers", so he chose to change hands halfway.
Well, it's scary to think about.
"I'm watching the boxing match lively, the little players under your command are really powerful, that Niu Niu has won 6 games in a row, what the hell is that in your hand? Why do I feel a faint divinity!
Where did you find such a dangerous thing?
Throw it away!
This is not a poison for a vampire who is not a believer. ”
Tracey, who was called over, pushed the door in rather unhappily, and the attitude of the grand duke, who was finally able to "legally touch the fish", was no different from those female social animals who chattered because of overtime.
But when she saw the suspended crumble of light in Murphy's palm, all complaints were thrown out of the clouds.
As Trace's expression became serious, she took out the Serenade Scepter and blessed the surroundings with a three-layer psionic technique to isolate detection, and then cautiously stepped forward and squatted in front of Murphy, carefully observing the broken light in his hand.
"Avalon wanted me to see something, and that's the truth about the Knights of Valland."
Murphy rubbed his eyebrows and explained with a headache:
"The god of nature apparently doesn't want this exchange between Him and me to be noticed by others, and it makes me feel a strong sense of unease."
"Are you hesitating to see it?"
Tracy glanced at Murphy, but the vampire shook his head and said:
"I'm sure I'm going to see, I'm just not sure if this thing will affect me, so I'm asking you to help me 'protect the Dharma', and wake me up as soon as I show signs of leaning towards the faith of the gods of nature.
Avalon was friendly, but I couldn't fully trust him, it was a subspace thing, something that had to be guarded against. ”
"Do you know that your words sound like a madman's babble to me?"
Tracey rolled her eyes and said:
"The tone you speak of a god is the same as the tone you say about the old men who are looking at the gates of the Vulture Corridor, a stellar djinn, a god who stands above the clouds and looks down on all beings.
You should have the necessary respect.
But now that you've made your decision, I'm going to do my best, and it's not as dangerous as you think to just look at a piece of information. ”
The Archduke of the Blood Vulture moved her wrist and shoulder, and she said:
"Let's get started, I'm here to watch."
"Hmm."
Murphy always felt reassured by having Tracy by his side, so he took a deep breath and pinched the broken light in his hand, approaching with his own mind.
The moment he touched this warm object, the Vampire Lord seemed to be pulled into another world, and when he turned his head to look around, there was a sea of tranquil stars everywhere he looked.
Murphy expected him to see one of Avalon's faces here, but the next moment a strange mist blew up and opened up a picture-like picture before his eyes.
"! It's really a message to say it's a message, and you're pulling me over so hard just to show me a video? ”
Murphy spat fiercely.
At this time, in the outside world, Tracey, who was "protecting the law" for Murphy, also saw the "disgusted" expression on Murphy's face, which made Tracey very curious about what her little Murphy saw.
The bewitching Archduke of the Blood Vulture hesitated for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on the shattered light that was being pinched in Murphy's hand.
Saying
Since it is information transmission, then as Xiao Murphy's most trusted "assistant Xiao Cui", it shouldn't be a big problem to take a peek, right?
She has inherited the great nature of countless psionic masters to die, and she is already a little eager to try.
At this time, in the scene of "God's Message", Murphy had already seen what Avalon wanted him to see, and the indescribable strange starlight formed one strange figure after another in front of his eyes, with human and animal forms, and some without specific shapes like jellyfish sponges.
They came together as if they were discussing something.
Murphy quickly determined the origin of the stars.
He saw a vivid wolf in it, which was supposed to be the god of the north wind "Sue".
He also saw an astral dragon with a shrunken body like a giant python, which must be "Ao", the patron god of the ancient kingdom of Callum, and among the stars, it was needless to say that it was a rather strange humanoid with one body and four sides.
That is the essence of Avalon, the god of nature.
In other words, the strange-looking stars gathered in front of him should be the "gods" in mortal legends, but what makes Murphy feel strange is that the number of these stars is far greater than the number of gods that clearly exist on the continent at present.
And what they were discussing was something that Murphy couldn't hear at all, and could only see from the surface that the "gods" seemed to have reached a certain agreement.
Together, they then opened a door inviting a humanoid creature to join them, and the scene zoomed out so that Murphy could see the starry background from a farther perspective.
Large expanses of purple-black nebulae surrounded in all directions, like a murky mist that was eroding the tranquil sea of stars where the gods were.
That malice is undisguised.
And when Murphy saw those purple-black nebulae, he could feel the chaos, longing, greed and uneasiness attached to them.
"Is that subspace?"
A guess crossed the vampire lord's mind, and he seemed to understand the message that Avalon was trying to convey to him.
Legend has it that the gods inhabit the mysterious astral realm, which, according to the psyker's understanding, is located in the middle of the physical world and subspace, and is the original source of all psionic energy.
So, what does Avalon mean is that the astral plane is being invaded by subspace? Is this "gathering of the gods" in front of us discussing how to fight against subspace?
Just as he was thinking, the picture suddenly changed.
The gods made a deal with the inviting humanoid, and each star detached a little starlight from its body and threw it into the distance, Murphy's eyes following the scattered starlight.
Eventually, I saw them constantly crossing the background of the astral plane, turning into meteors and sprinkling into a solitary world in the starry sky.
Murphy's perspective changed again at this moment, and he tracked one of the four points of light from Avalon, watching it crash into the sun-drenched world and finally into a mountain forest, buried deep beneath the earth.
And as time flies, in the early morning of one day, a barbarian dressed in animal skins accidentally tracks down his prey.
Curious and in awe, he dug up the rubble that existed in the forest, and found something in it and held it high.
That thing was the Wood Grail that Murphy had seen with his own eyes a few days ago!
At this point, Avalon's message was clear.
The legendary "Holy Grails" from all over the continent do come from the gods, and the purpose of their existence is not only to select heroes and warriors to empower them, but these Holy Grails have a deeper meaning, they represent the sacred testimony of a certain agreement reached by the gods.
Kudel's guess was correct!
These chalices have all carried great things, and the image that Murphy is looking at may be the message contained in the grail of the woods.
"Epoch Contract. Frontier guarding satellite boundary sentinel subspace. Eternal Battle: Find them! The alpha truth is in which the astral plane cannot be protected forever please. Join the battle as soon as possible! ”
In the final aftermath of the picture, Murphy suddenly sees a call that seems to be nothing, which is the sound of several strange tones mixed together, from the gentle maternal tone to the stern voice of the royal sister, and the pure girlish supplication and the eerie lament of the old woman.
This fits perfectly with the four faces that Avalon has in Elven mythology.
However, this final reminder is choppy and incomplete, leaving Murphy confused as he wakes up from this message.
He was sure that Avalon wanted him to find more Holy Grails to piece together the secrets of the gods, and that thing called the "Anno Pact" was definitely quite important.
And to be sure, the gods shouldn't be in a good position in the astral plane at the moment
"Ah, you're not a riddler, but you're not always half-talking, right? Or are you unable to give me the full information, only to give me a clue to find it yourself? What is this?
Accidentally triggered side quests?
Let me run around the continent collecting all kinds of Holy Grail incarnated detectives to piece together the truth of the secret of the gods?
And where exactly did you come to know the name 'Alpha'? ”
Murphy spat hard.
He turned his head and wanted to talk to Tracey about what he had seen, but as soon as he turned around, he saw his monster mother kneeling on the ground in an extremely sincere gesture, her hands folded and silently chanting the name of Avalon.
"Damn, is this a demon?"
Murphy was taken aback.
He immediately stepped forward to check on Tracey's appearance, and when he saw the calm expression on the vampire woman's bewitching face that was exactly the same as that of the Valander knight just now, he knew that Tracey must have been "hit".
It was definitely this stupid guy who wanted to peek at Avalon's information so he was countered by the God of Nature, and it was clear that the information was "encrypted" by Avalon, so that they could only be seen by Murphy.
"Alas, curiosity kills cats."
Murphy sighed.
He looked at the "missionary" Triss who was trying to share the "Great Will of Avalon" with him, and reluctantly picked her up and put her on his lap, activated the omega anti-virus program again, and covered the purified light in the palm of his hand, and then raised his left hand high.
"Tracey, don't blame me when you wake up, I know it must hurt a little, but you brought it on yourself."
"Smack"
The palm of his hand slapped down, which made Trace, who was full of "divine words", suddenly excited, and then covered her hips and let out a scream of pain like killing pigs, but she was suppressed by Murphy, and she slapped it again.
Hey, don't say it yet.
This feels weirdly good.
——
"! Niu Niu lost? What's going on? Feel like he's down in the blink of an eye? Is this buying the handicap and playing us? ”
In the ring outside, everyone had no idea that in the hut of the Blood Rat Gang, their main NPC was playing something very exciting with their "girlfriend", which would attract the attention of young players to the shocking changes of the game in front of them.
Niu Niu, who has won 11 consecutive games, met his opponent and was beaten down within three moves.
The maverick bald vampire warrior monk Giant Shark Bo even exclaimed:
"That hooded man beat Niu Niu to his knees, this must be the ultimate humiliation on him!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, is it?"
There was a commotion in the student party next to it.
In addition to Sister Pomegranate, Niu Niu is already the most capable one in their group, but now that he met that strange hooded man boxer and was easily defeated, it means that he must have "brushed" a powerful NPC.
For Niu Niu now, he really doesn't have the mood to think about it so much.
He rose from the ground, fists clenched in the starting gesture of the Wind Fist, and looked warily at the hooded man in front of him, who was a head shorter than him.
The latter was stunned when he saw Niu Niu's fist style, but then he also put on a starting hand of the Wind Fist.
Slightly different from Niu Niu's fist style, the man also said in a strange tongue flick sound:
"Even by the broad standards of Sanda Sect, you're just a beginner, and that's not the essence of Blast, you're just throwing punches with a bloody rage, which is a complete waste of your talent.
Throw in the towel!
Let's end this with dignity. ”
"No more nonsense! Bastard. ”
Niu Niu was enraged.
He quickly stepped forward and threw punches like a blast, but the opponent didn't even move his feet before he used the transition of arms, elbows, and stance to neutralize Niu Niu's attack, and at the moment when Niu Niu's strength slowed down, he caught the opportunity to break through the player's defense with the simplest punch, and then slammed down with his short body and slammed upward.
Then, under the amazing and gorgeous Fist of the Ascending Dragon, Niu Niu, a big man of 193, was thrown into the air.
Niu Niu's whole body was cracked in the air, and he felt that his jaw was about to shatter, but what was even worse was that it was the first time he had experienced this kind of embarrassment in the game.
He could feel that the other party obviously did not use any power higher than the black iron rank.
It's just the simplest punch and kick
"I have nothing to do with you, but I must use these victories to draw closer to my God's guidance, so I'm sorry, brave one."
"Bang"
A ferocious whip leg accompanied by the enemy's humiliation slammed into Niu Niu's chest, knocking him out of the ring and smashing him into the audience.
I don't know if it's a provocation, the direction in which Niu Niu fell was on the side of the student party, and he was caught by the shrimp farmer and Khaki Toni.
Niu Niu would have been unconscious, but he was miraculously not seriously injured.
Obviously, the opponent's fist skills are superb, and it is estimated that he also used some hellish warrior monk secret technique.
There was a dead silence around the ring, and as the crowd watched, the guy sighed and reached out to reveal his cool short silver hair and a religious warrior suit.
It's not cumbersome or ornamental, except for the iconic embroidery of a large frost wolf's head on the back of the monk's robe, and the layers of frost scattered around him like mist as he declares his crisp victory with his hands folded.
This already represents his origins.
And when he saw the tattoos on the guy's arms and neck, Count Andrei Huo Ran in the VIP seat got up, and he exclaimed:
"The ordination monk of the Church of the Winter Wolf! How could these ascetics, who never leave their monastery, end up here? ”
