(Add more for the "Huo Zhen is very good" brother [20/20])

Tris is apparently a Crimson Witch with a myriad of secrets.

Although she has been telling her lovely little Murphy stories about her past, those stories never seem to be finished, which fully represents how active and unlucky Tracey is when she is in the scenery, and how much she likes to run around.

Murphy is also sure that part of Tracey's fatal attraction to her stems from her misty past.

Although Tracey has been salting fish for more than a hundred years, so she is no longer the villain witch who can stop crying at night, but the things that Grand Duke Tracey did when she was "beautiful" have obviously not dissipated with the passage of time.

Today, for example, Murphy learned about another "black history" of Tracey.

No wonder this guy is so familiar with the story of the goatman, Murphy was frightened by her before, thinking that it was Tracey's well-informed travels to the mainland, but after a long time, it turned out that Tracey was one of the parties to this story.

He actually has the identity of an "honorary elder" in Weidia Abyss City.

Yours is there!

I have to run around to brush up my reputation without system prompts, but now these reputations are cheaper than her little man, and she really cried to death.

However, now that he has been determined to be "his own people", Murphy's attitude towards the group of distressed goatmen has become a little better, and he even allows the goatmen to collect the remains of his companions, so as not to be spoiled by the trolls who are enjoying the "game" as snacks.

It was a very generous gesture to move a group of goats to the people.

It was difficult for people who weren't natives of the Dark Mountains to understand this emotion, and in their opinion, Murphy actually risked angering the trolls to allow them to collect the corpses, which was already a show of absolute kindness.

And the leader of the goatmen, the goat woman with gold and silver, a big ball, and beautiful horns, would be sitting cross-legged on the stone in front of Murphy's eyes, drugged her injured hooves, and was questioned by Murphy.

Well, here is the highlight of this goat woman.

Although it is called a goat man, the appearance of a goat man is not really a humanoid goat.

They just have some characteristics very similar to goats, such as eyes, such as horns, such as small tails, etc., but they are still generally humanoid creatures, and although the face does not conform to the traditional aesthetics of vampires, it does have a hint of "delicateness".

She adorned her furry forehead with a peculiar talisman ornament, and a leaf-shaped gold ring tied up her "hair", which showed that she was still a beautiful goat woman.

And she talks extraordinary, and she is crepe.

Talking to Murphy can even quote scriptures, which fully shows that Trace's description of the goats is correct, and at least the goats of Vidia Abyss are still trying to maintain their dignity as civilized creatures.

"My name is Julia, Governor Murphy, and I am a second-level scholar in Vidia Abyss City, and the person in charge of the 'Dark Roots' near the Black Flame Pass, and my mentor was the one who introduced Lady Triss to us.

She kept describing to me the wonders of Lady Trissy.

Especially in recent years, when the development of the Nightmare Cult of Bafonte has become more and more worrying, she has been trying to reconnect with Lady Trissy, but unfortunately this wish has not been fulfilled when my mentor dies of old age. ”

The goat woman first introduced herself, her rather peculiar crossed pupils observing the change in Murphy's expression, and said:

"We scholars are the pioneers sent by Abyss City, and we have been monitoring Bafengte Canyon for more than a hundred years since the end of the Black Plague, but unfortunately the blood alliance vampires are very arrogant, they have built various fortresses and fortresses in the mountain pass and do not allow us to pass through, we have not been able to set foot in Bafengte Canyon in person for a long time.

No one knows how big the Nightmare Cult has grown over there, but the appearance of the Blood Alliance Knights is also a good thing, and they block the Black Flame Pass so that the Bafeng Cult can no longer lure their compatriots from Abyss City to join them. ”

"Oh, you're talking about the Earth Palace, where my warriors and I carried out a battle to punish evil, and Tris joined."

With a hint of regret, Murphy replied:

"It's a pity we stopped that Twilight Pollution Ritual, or the Bafengt cult would have been wiped out, but that's not a good thing either, and your fallen people would have been thrown into the arms of the more dangerous shadows of the subspace.

Now they have closed the Earth Palace and are not allowed to enter it, probably because they want to survive until the end of the Black Plague."

"No, Lord Murphy!"

Julia hurriedly explained:

"It could also be because the ritual of the Fallen calling on the Nightmare Tyrant Bafant is in its final stages, and perhaps their evil gods will be born in the next few years, which is terrible news."

"It's okay, compared to the troubles of the Black Plague and the Gnolls, a Nightmare Tyrant that no one knows about is not too much of a problem."

Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Anyway, in the words of my personal prophet, the self-sprouting Bafengte cult is the most harmless group of people in the dark mountain range where demons are roaming."

"That's not the case, Lord Murphy, you don't understand the ultimate purpose of the Bafont cult!"

The goat woman explained solemnly:

"While we don't have any tangible evidence yet, I can tell you some of the veins we've found, that awakening the Nightmare Tyrant is only the first step for those cultists, whose real goal is to use the Nightmare Tyrant's power to enter a fabled 'World Dream' to kill the sleeping Lord of Curses, Vidia, and gain his powers.

Believe me, Governor Murphy, the Lord of Curses is a real Astral Djinn who has only been wounded in battle with extraterrestrial evil.

One day, the true God of the goats will awaken and lead His people. ”

“？”

Murphy blinked, and he said suspiciously:

But no one in the outside world knows the name of the King of Curses, just as obscure as the Nightmare Tyrant Bafengt, Tris says that only the goatmen still remember the name of the god, but she, as the best theologian on the continent, cannot determine whether the King of All Curses really exists.

Oh, and by the way, Tracey also captured a copy of the Book of Spells from the previous battle. ”

"What? The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras? ”

The goat woman suddenly became excited.

She was so agitated that she ignored her injured hoof, and the moment she got up, she fell to the ground in an unseemly gesture with a cry of pain.

But he didn't care about the pain, and while his mouth twitched, he got up and asked:

"Can you be sure it's really the Book of Mantras? It was one of the sacred relics left by the King of Ten Thousand Curses in the material world, which was lost in the chaos of the Fourth Black Plague, and it was said that the supreme wisdom of the King of Ten Thousand Curses was recorded, and if you were destined to do so, you could even get the knowledge of the gods from it!

That was the regret that my mentor had in his heart before he died, and could I go to Lady Triss to retrieve the relic? ”

"Well, look, yes, take it, no!"

Murphy decisively refused:

"That thing is now a 'national treasure' of Translasia, and it is guarded by Tracy herself, but we of the Blood Vulture Clan are not unreasonable people, and if it is indeed a sacred relic of your goatmen, we can return it.

But only if you show your sincerity

For example, I have a stronghold in the Dark Valley to fight the Black Plague, and you goatmen are known for being good at psionic abilities and curses, so why don't you send a group of mages to help you fight?

If we win, the book can be given back to you.

No, no, no, not to Widia Abyss City, but to the 'Roots of Darkness', as you have recovered the 'National Treasure', you will become the hero of all civilized goatmen in an instant!

You see, that's a beautiful thing.

As the organization that values inheritance and history the most among the goats, don't you tell me that the dignified 'Dark Roots' can't even assemble a mage group?

Triss can join you, which shows that your organization is powerful. ”

"Well, I can't make a decision on my own, I have to ask the elders for their opinion."

Julia was clearly impressed.

The cross pupils of this goat woman shone with some kind of light called "ambition", and it is said that goat people are dark by nature, and judging from the performance of this goat woman, it is estimated that this is indeed the case.

"I still need to think about it, it seems that the temptation of a national treasure is nothing more than that."

Murphy snorted, he rolled his eyes, and said:

"If a book of ten thousand mantras isn't enough, then how about adding the fall of the Bafengte cult?

I have a bunch of nosy Tranthian warriors under my command, fearless and now exploring the dungeon and killing the goatmen mob within, and you must have a common language with them.

Seriously, with just a small pay, the righteous warriors of Translancia are more than willing to help the 'Roots of Darkness' solve the troubles of the Bafengte Great Palace.

Doesn't that the dungeon also have something to do with the origin of the goats?

No matter how you look at it, it's a holy place, and after getting rid of that group of self-sprouting cultists, I can make the decision to give you the Bafeng Special Earth Palace as a museum or something. ”

"But aren't you going to fight the gnolls?"

The goat woman was surprised and said:

"Where did you get the more strength to make enemies for yourself? The Bafant's cult isn't a powerful force, but they're dangerous, doesn't that fit your criteria as a governor? ”

"I always have to have a place to train my soldiers, and I can't just stuff my soldiers into the Black Plague battlefield and let them fight the brutal gnolls in the first place, it will be their lives."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"The combat effectiveness of the Bafengte cultists is very suitable, especially those peripheral goat-man thugs, they are very good 'whetstones'. Don't ask questions, just say if you and your organization are willing to be friends with the Translancians, right?

If you want, take your people with you and come back to the Valley of the Shadows.

I'll send you to Transnicia to meet Tracy, and Triss will take care of the rest for you, but if you want to get the Book of Spells back, then you'll have to have a strong enough group of mages to join the war in Translasia

Well, you!

Yes, as the local head of the Dark Roots, you will also join our Psionic Red Devil Pavilion in Transencia as the representative of the Goatmen of the civilization faction in Translancia.

It's really not a harsh condition, goat woman, I mean, Julia, as a scholar you have to think more about the future of your people, right? ”

Murphy's persuasion is really straightforward, but for the sake of "The Book of Ten Thousand Spells", the goat woman did not refuse but fell into a long thought.

It was only when Murphy and his trolley friends were ready to set off that she finally made her decision.

"My followers and I need to see the Book of Spells with our own eyes so that we can use it as evidence to convince the Elders to send troops, the Dark Roots do have a fighting force of sorcerers, but in the fiercely competitive Abyss City, that is what we need to survive."

Julia rides in the saddle of a summoned Displacement Beast.

In the grinning of the ferocious Panther-like otherworldly creature, she said earnestly to Murphy:

"The elders are quite open-minded, and if the Transans can really help us fight the Bafengte cult, I believe the elders are willing to be your friends."

"Very good, let's go, let's go to the Shadow Valley first."

Murphy sat on his big shoulders, and when the well-fed trolls got up, he said to the group of goatmen behind him:

"On the way, I will teach you the proper way to deal with my warriors, and you better learn by heart, lest they treat you like a spoonful of stew."

"But the Black Flame Pass won't allow us to pass, and the Blood Alliance Knights are really strict."

Julia hesitated.

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"I'm Your Excellency the Governor of Translancia, the core of the Blood Vulture Clan, and I have a great personal relationship with Lord Heather, and she'll give me this face. Speaking of which, I've heard that the lineage of tricksters flows from you goatmen, so Lady Julia, as a goatman scholar, do you know how to do tricksters? ”

"Of course, I'm a great sorcerer myself."

The goat woman suddenly puffed up her chest proudly, and she said:

"I am a first-class student in the Abyss City Spell Academy, and I can only cross the third order to become a second-level scholar in thirty years, you may not understand this gold content, but I must tell you that I am one of the smartest individuals in the entire Abyss City!

Maybe in a dozen years, I'll be eligible to succeed my mentor as a councillor, provided I don't get assassinated by someone from another faction, you know, some of our goat-people have some of the old traditions that can be a real headache at times. ”

"Huh? So powerful? ”

Murphy was surprised and said:

"Then why was it like this by a bunch of gnolls? You should be teaching them to be talented with spells, right, this awesome graduate lady. ”

"Ahem, that's because the contemptible man is a pacifist, and the contemptible man is good at theory but not good at fighting."

The goat woman tactfully stated the fact that she was actually a rookie.

She's not blowing it either.

This guy is a real silver-tier speller, and her followers have survived so much despite the numerical disadvantage because of her strong defensive and support spells.

It's a pity that she's not very good at killing people with spells.

"Very good, then I appoint you as the faction mentor of the Transxian magician, you can have your own mage tower in Treasure Bay, I believe that Lao Huo, who has been troubled by the improvement of his strength recently, will be very willing to find himself a 'tutor'.

Oh, forgot to say it.

Triss also has a copy of the Book of Darkness and Annihilation, which is said to be the sacred book of sorcerers? ”

"That book was written by our ancestors, and it was because of its circulation that the goats were as famous on the continent as street rats."

Julia covered her eyes with her fluffy hands, sighed, and said:

"Alas, the original birth of that book was a mistake, and it was precisely because of the conflict of ideas that the book caused in Abyss City that my people would split, which directly led to the birth and rise of the Bafont cult.

It is said that it was originally contained by the previous purification master of the Ring Tower, Maireddin.

It's a shame that that book should have been destroyed!

Because our ancestors obtained the knowledge of evil and darkness from the subspace. ”

"There is no good or evil in knowledge, just as a hero saves people with a knife, and a villain kills with a knife."

Murphy was noncommittal.

He said:

"But you goat-people should really review your over-exuberant desire to share, and the next time you teach some powerful spells, you should test your apprentice's mind in advance. Without further ado, let's go now, we should be able to reach the Black Flame Pass tomorrow morning.

War is coming, so cherish this last bit of leisure time. ”

——

The Blood Vulture Corridor belongs to Trace's private laboratory, and the Scarlet Witch is flipping through the Book of Spells, and as a psionic master, she can easily learn the spells in this book, but what really interests Tracey is the set of "Laws" spells recorded in this book.

It is said that this is a secret lineage directly from the King of Ten Thousand Spells.

The goatman blasphemer had used the Forbidden Sky Decree before, and he almost threw Tracey headlong from the sky and turned her ugly.

"It's really exquisite knowledge, there are so many good things in the hands of the goats, I knew this was the case, I should have used my identity as an 'honorary elder' to sneak into the abyss treasure house and steal more things."

Tracey looked at it and took notes, and complained in her heart:

"Oh, that's my black history, especially the experience of stealing things and being found out by others, it's simply the most embarrassing of the countless failures in the first half of my life, and I must not let little Murphy know.

At the time, Luna was blamed for being stupid

Alas, Luna"

The Scarlet Witch thought of the guy who now called herself "Source", and she sighed helplessly, lamenting that she was really ill-fated, and then turned the page.

In the next second, Tris was surprised to find that there were many runes on this page of the knowledge of the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, all of which were shining with strange lights.

She reached out and touched the runes.

In the next moment, the world in front of her suddenly changed, as if some illusion had been cast, making Trith seem to be in a strange space in an instant, which was covered with mist, and only a huge goat man covered with various wonderful spells could be faintly seen looming in front of her.

"Be careful, you're being targeted. Crying came from the waves of subspace, and the incomplete shadows longed to return, and the witch who would surely become the Mother of Midnight went to find him. Chaos is coming, only he can shelter you.

Alpha. Serve Him! ”

"Huh"

Everything returned to the same state in the next moment, and Tracey watched the glittering runes in front of her fall silent before she realized what had happened after a few seconds.

A typical resonance of divine power!

"Vidia? The King of Ten Thousand Curses! You. Do you really exist? But why do you want me to serve Murphy? Well? Are you the legendary Moon Elder? Do you care about this kind of gossip? ”
