The main body of the swamp exhibition hall is actually not large, because it serves as an observation post and the core of the ecological zone in the "Golden Age", it has a total of three floors, and the third layer hidden is the clue that the Biting King told Murphy.

However, although this place is small, it has a lot of organs.

Basically, there are functions that Murphy can think of or can't think of here, for example, the last time he and Tracy "visited" the private bathroom, they found that there was actually a massage function inside, and after the hidden third floor biology laboratory was restarted, the elevator that could only go down to the first floor also unlocked a new slot, which can continue down.

Three vampires and a gnoll are standing in a futuristic elevator, a strange combination that is out of step with their surroundings tilting their heads and watching the number on the elevator advance to "-1".

With a soft clang, the elevator door quietly opened, and what appeared in front of them was a dark glass corridor.

Murphy was the first to step out, and as soon as he stepped onto the first piece of glass, the lights around him clicked on, like an invisible hand pushing forward, lighting up the entire glass bridge and revealing the darkness beneath the earth's crust.

He looked around, and everywhere he saw was a huge silver-gray machine in motion, silent but full of a mechanical rhythm, especially those huge exposed devices, although huge and incomparable, they were full of a strange sense of "precision".

It's like drills and excavators deep into the earth's crust pumping some kind of energy from the magma at the end below, or like mechanical giants resting with their feet in the magma.

"So, is it actually powered by geothermal energy? Sure enough, everything that seems to be unscientific will be related to energy when deconstructed to the depths. ”

Murphy looked at the red pool of magma at the bottom and thought to himself:

"The elevator doesn't have a ruler to determine how deep it is, but you can see the magma in the mantle layer, and it is conservatively estimated that it is at least a dozen kilometers from the surface, alas, every time you see something from the time of the Creator, you feel like you are born in a science fiction world.

But as long as you leave here, you will still have to face all kinds of troubles caused by unscientific psionic abilities. ”

"It's unimaginable that the depths of the earth here are comparable to the Eternal Rift and the Dark Realm."

Tracey followed behind Murphy.

She stroked the transparent glass bridge and confirmed the general position with the psyker's perception, and whispered:

"According to the legend of the Shadow Elves, there is an 'inner world' in our world, and the so-called dark region is only a transit place to that inner world.

I've always heard them use exaggerated language when I travel through the city of Shadow Elves, describing the relics and powers of another era buried in that hidden world, but the arrogant Shadow Elves never dare to go too far into it, they are a bunch of cowards who live in a rotten life.

I guess the mythical stories they are telling are about devices like the ones we have left behind by our creators.

Obviously, the God who created the world has left more here than we think, but He is interpreting the mysteries of the world in a very different way.

Perhaps psionic energy is not the only answer. ”

"Psionic energy may even be the wrong answer, at least the Lord of the Biting Bones thinks, but the problem is that psionic energy has eaten away at this world for too long, and we and the whole world have been permanently changed.

It is clear that the world has not evolved according to the Creator's blueprint, and if the god returns here in the future, he will probably be disappointed. ”

Murphy said with some emotion, and Tracy just shook her head, looking at the huge machines that had penetrated deep into the magma, and she didn't know what the Scarlet Witch was thinking.

Hogg and Paliano didn't respond.

The former was shocked by the power of these giant divine machines that appeared in front of him, as if they were holding up the earth, while the latter was busy recording what he saw and felt during the trip in his notebook.

Even for a golden man like him, the wonderful experience of visiting the Land of Creation was not something every day, and he had to write down these things that did not exist in the mundane world, so that he could have more material to please the goddesses of his mind when he boasted about them.

This is the necessary cultivation of the perfect pure love knight!

At the end of the glass bridge is the reopened Biolab, a secret room in the rock, the interior of which is as simple and futuristic as the visitors' lobby, with many unclear instruments, encased in a pure white shell.

In the center of the circular room is an erected main console where commands can be issued.

When the four of them entered, the second beetle of the assistant curator had already completed the preparation and debugging of the biological cabin, and there was a certification device next to the blue capsule-like biological cabin, and the two had completed the connection between the data, and now they were waiting for the binding ceremony to begin.

"Take off your clothes and lie down!"

Murphy pointed to the standby biological pod, patted the helpless Hogg on the shoulder, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, according to Philet, this ritual is absolutely safe, and as long as you are not a cunning halfling disguised as a gnolloll, you will not be harmed. So, if you're really a halfling, Hogg, it's time for you to take off this vivid holster and apologize to us. ”

"Ah, your joke isn't as funny as it used to be, but it's probably because I'm panicking now and can't taste the joke."

Hogg shook his body.

It's like an ancient Roman soldier who strayed into the era of 2077, looking at everything and feeling dangerous, if someone hadn't carried it, it would probably have screamed.

Under Murphy's command, the Bloodclaw Chief stripped off his leather armor and lining, approached the creature pod naked, and knelt there to complete a gnoll prayer.

It wasn't sincere before, and it won't suddenly become a fanatic.

The so-called prayer also replaces the subject of the prayer in praise of the Lord of the Hunt with the Creator, presumably at this fateful moment, even a guy like Hogg needs a little spiritual comfort.

Murphy didn't stop the process, he and Tracy stood in front of the authentication device and placed the gnoll's civilization tablet on the device's delicate tray, and as the device activated, a stream of blue energy erupted from the conduit and lifted the tablet to rotate slowly in the air.

The authentication device in front of him also activates a blue light curtain projected in front of Murphy's eyes:

[The database in the Eden area cannot be connected,Start the local database backup,The certification is over,The civilization slate is confirmed! The race number is confirmed to be Ds-04, codenamed 'Gnoll', and the spokesperson of this race is currently vacant, and the certification process is ready.

Yes/No to start certification? 】

"Huh"

The blue creature pod slid open the lid with a sense of technology at this moment, and Hogg took a deep breath and shook his body into it.

It lay in the viscous strange transparent liquid, and took one last look at Murphy, the vampire lord made an "OK" gesture to it, and it could be seen that Hogg was really scared, but it gritted its teeth and didn't say anything more, just closed its eyes and clenched its fists, ready to meet its fate.

When the hatch closed, Hogg's liquid quickly filled the entire bio chamber, perhaps with some strange ingredient that caused the gnolls to go into a very relaxing deep sleep in a matter of seconds, and Murphy touched the light curtain with his finger to initiate the authentication process.

Fortunately, all the mechanical gadgets left behind by the creator are fully automated, otherwise Murphy's psychic "tainted" brain would not have been able to handle such high-end operations.

But it's also normal.

The more advanced things are, the more they will eliminate the manual operation part, so as not to affect the operation efficiency of human or vampire clumsy operations, data encapsulation and technology black box is indeed a good civilization.

A slow-moving progress bar appeared on the light curtain of the authentication device, indicating that Hogg had developed some kind of magical connection to the Civilization Slate.

"Oops, I forgot to tell it just now."

Murphy patted his forehead and said to Tracey, who was also curious:

"The Gnoll's Civilization Slate has a 'Creation Evolution' function, which can give the spokesperson a genetic enhancement that ignores the life rank, and the King of Biting Bones has strengthened its strength to make it the strongest of the Gnoll clan.

I don't know what Hogg will choose?

Judging from the fact that it has always been dissatisfied with its body, this guy will most likely choose to turn itself into a standard gnoll warrior, right?

In other words, its thin body really didn't have any appearance in front of its powerful compatriots. ”

"But I don't really care about Hogg's choice right now."

Glancing at the Paliano Knight on the other side of the lab, clumsily trying to "interact" with an autoresponder, Tracey said to Murphy using onomatopoeia:

"We also have a civilization tablet in our hands, although it is only one-seventh of the vampire civilization tablet fragments, but if this instrument can make Hogg become the spokesperson of civilization, does it mean that if we do the same, we can also make you the spokesperson of vampire civilization?"

"Nope."

Murphy shook his head and said:

"I knew from the previous encounter with the Desire Shards that it didn't have full authority to give me the status of spokesperson, and we might need to collect seven shards and reforge it. And when it comes to the spokesperson of vampires, which round will you get me?

Aren't Lord Pa Ying or you more qualified? ”

"I think you're more suitable."

Tracy put her hand on Murphy's wrist, and she said faintly:

"I was bluffed by you before, saying that the subspace shadows give you strange powers, but although the King of Biting Bones didn't say it explicitly when he talked to you before, he has revealed a lot of information. That arrogant gnoll looked down on everything in this era, and it arrogantly called me a 'slave girl', but do you know what is the most terrible?

I don't have much disgust or disgust with this title, because I know that Philip comes from an 'age of gods' that I can't imagine, but he is so proud that he has to show as much humility as possible in the face of you.

There is no doubt that you are chosen by the Creator, that you are His messenger, and that you are so honored that even the orthodox son of creation, such as the King of Biting Bone, would call you 'Sir'! I couldn't even think about it on this topic.

I'm afraid that when I figure out the answer, it means you're leaving me.

Murphy, you tell me."

She approached Murphy and whispered in his ear:

"Who the hell are you! Are you from the same Golden Age as the King of Biting Bone? An ancient ghost wandering in a time that doesn't belong to you? Where is the real Murphy? What did you do to him? ”

"Don't think about it, I'm Murphy."

The vampire lord's heart was unwavering, he looked down at Trith's inquiring eyes, he even let go of his heart to Triss to listen with the power of desire, he put Tracy's hand on his heart, and said softly:

"I'm your Murphy, Murphy of Translasia, Murphy of the Vulture Clan, I'm me! Don't think about it, the mission my Creator has given me can't change who I am and my heart that is beating for you.

Unlike Philet's idiot, I know I don't have anything to be proud of. ”

Tracey looked at the sincere eyes in front of her, she had the heart to refute, but in the end she remained silent, she had the heart to listen, but in the end she didn't carry it out.

Rather than the answer itself, Tracey regretted asking the question.

She regretted it the moment she blurted it out, and she realized that she didn't really want to find out the truth, and that whoever Murphy was, he was now too deeply bound to herself, her clan, and all of Transasia.

"Ding"

A soft sound interrupted the dumb riddle between the two.

Murphy looked back and saw that the certification process was over, and it was unbelievably fast.

The creature pod quietly opened, and Hogg lay in the transparent liquid as if he were asleep, his hair wet and sticking to his body, making it look even uglier and thinner.

But to Murphy's surprise, Hogg's body shape has not changed, and he still looks like a disability without majesty, which makes him wonder what Hogg chose to accept the endorsement reinforcement.

"Hey, wake up."

Murphy reached out and patted Hogg's cheek, waking him up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, Hogg was still a little dazed, and he took a few sharp breaths as if he had forgotten to breathe, which slowed down his violently beating heart.

It gasped violently, shaking its head and looking around to bring its consciousness back to its senses.

After a few seconds of silence, it sat up from the pod, looked at Murphy, raised its hands and gestured, and said:

"I saw the whole process of the birth of the first gnoll, I saw it! Those of the Golden Age. They're right here! It was here that my ancestors were created! Just like me! Mistress Murphy, the first gnoll is as skinny as I am!

I'm not an outlier, I'm normal!

Those tall idiots are the outliers.

I!

I, Hogg, am the most orthodox gnoll! ”

"Don't get excited, I know you've seen something from the past."

Murphy soothed Hogg as he asked:

"You just received the reinforcement of the spokesperson, and you must have chosen the same when the evolutionary process was activated, what did you choose?"

"Wisdom!"

Hogg touched his head, and said:

"I can choose strength, wisdom, energy adaptation and reproduction enhancement, I chose wisdom without hesitation, this is my advantage that distinguishes me from other gnolls, I must give full play to my strengths.

Ah, I'm beginning to understand the complex political ideas that Professor Malcolm told me.

And those psionic principles, voodoo tricks, it's amazing!

That's it!

My brain cheered, and it announced to me that the foolishness had been removed, and a new me had come to life.

That's great!

I gradually began to understand everything!

I heard those echoes, the stars whispering to me, the subspace calling, the Lord of the Hunt wanting me to be His priest, He promised me the dominion of the whole world, He said"

"Don't listen! Idiot! ”

The quick-eyed Triss slapped Hogg on the head, and the spiritual energy in the archduke's hand gathered into a cloud of cold ice that made Hogg jump up and fall to the ground in embarrassment.

Murphy pulled it up and slapped it twice.

This is no ordinary slap in the face.

The activated Omega antivirus program was draped over Murphy's fingers, and the pulsing white shimmer hit Hogg with a squeaky face.

Although the pain hurts, the effect is excellent.

The stunned Hogg suddenly woke up from the call of the subspace.

It itself was afraid for a while, knowing that if it had responded to that sudden call just now, it might have fallen from the spokesperson of civilization to the son of an evil god on the spot.

I am still in the Land of Creation, and it is hard to imagine what kind of sad consequences I would encounter if I "transformed" here.

"Apparently, the yet-to-be-born god has noticed you, Lord Hogg."

The Paliano knight stepped forward, half-kneeling on the ground and putting his hand on Hogg's shoulder, and he said in a deep voice:

"He already knows that the second spokesperson of the Gnoll civilization has been born, and He knows that you are a threat, and He will not let you go so easily."

"After that, there will be a steady stream of gnolls, madmen, and assassins who will try to take your life in the name of the Lord of the Hunt."

Murphy also whispered a warning:

"After that, you will live on your guard every day until the mission you have been given is completed, I know it will be tiring and difficult, Hogg, but you must be prepared."

"It doesn't have to be that way, guys, I'm wise enough to understand the situation I'm facing."

Hogg shook his head and said:

"I can't wait any longer, I must immediately go to the Dark Mountains to find the flesh-tearing Plague Clan, and I must use that clan as a fulcrum to establish my reputation in the Dark Mountains.

The Plague Clans are the most skilled at using spells of all the Gnoll Clans, and they have been outside the mainstream of many Gnoll Clans, they are not taken seriously, and their use of necromancy has made them unblessed by the Lord of the Hunt.

I have to master them! ”

"There's good news for you about this."

Murphy Says:

"My new friend, Lady Nephitali, the Moon Priestess from the Land of Origin, has crafted Ripper into her undead servant, and I will take you to the Dark Valley, where you can meet Ripper.

It and the Lame Claw Lifebox in your hand can be your best chance of breaking into the Plague Clan.

In addition, you will also have to select a group of 'God-Slayer Warriors', and I will open up information about all the warriors to you. ”

"Until then, I have to finish something else."

Hogg draped his robe over his body, and he looked at Murphy, stretched out his hands, and said:

"Lord Murphy, please use Lord Pa Ying's Covenant to make me your eternal servant.

Don't worry about my complaints, this is my own volition, we must complete this ritual in order for you and me to receive the support of the entire vampire civilization, and only in this way can the civilization camp believe that I, the 'virtuous wolf', can be controlled!

We have to reassure them, or we won't be able to do it alone. ”

The offer silenced all three vampires, and after a few seconds, Tris exclaimed:

"Wisdom has blessed you again, Hogg, and I am really impressed by your performance."

"I'm thinking about how to convince you to accept this harsh spell."

Paliano opened his bag and took out the Crimson Charm that Lord Pa Ying had asked him to bring here.

It was two drop-shaped bloodstones, and it looked like a cheap work of art, but in fact, the complex spectrum that this thing would form when light was refracted represented its extraordinary, but such a consumable had to be made in such a standard and perfect droplet-shaped, and I think the hopelessly artistic aura of Lord Pa Ying played a decisive role in it.

The Rose Knight handed it to Hogg and Murphy, saying:

"This is the 'Spell of Eternal Life' made by the Lord in imitation of the power of the Blood Pact, and I must remind you that once you use it, you will become a servant of Murphy for the rest of your life.

The blood contract can also be removed with source blood, but this contract spell cannot be unsolved except for death! ”

"Well, wouldn't that be better? This is exactly what I need, and if there is no lock in the first place, I won't have to bother looking for the key later. ”

Hogg smiled subtly.

It crushed it without hesitation, letting the crumbs dig into its flesh, and Murphy looked at Hogg's determination, and he finally confirmed that the reborn gnoll in front of him could definitely do great things.

So Murphy crushed the Bloodstone with pleasure, and let the Eternal Curse be applied to the two of them.

It's like the formation of a blood pact, binding him to Hogg's existence.

"Then, I can finally call you master without any psychological burden, and this will be the most glorious moment of my life."

Hogg got up, bowed to Murphy, and the moment it got up, it said in a voice that only he and Murphy could hear:

"Hats off, Messenger of the Creator. Hats off, Lord Alpha. ”
