"You said Philip told you the exact location of the Gnoll Civilization Hall?"

After hearing Hogg's words, Murphy immediately became serious.

As the administrator of Alpha and the director of the Swamp Exhibit, he was immediately aware of the importance of this matter, and although the Lord of the Biting Bones repeatedly claimed that the civilization pavilion only contained a history related to the Gnoll civilization and race, considering that Philip was only a security captain, the information it had access to was always limited.

So if it was possible, Murphy had to go there himself.

There are very few remnants of the land of creation on this continent that have not been discovered by the Songhai people, and if the Gnoll Civilization Pavilion is still in operation after the end of the Golden Age, then it must be controlled by Murphy.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you destroy it, you can't be touched by dusk.

The Enemies of the Creator had developed for a hundred years before Murphy's arrival, and their advantage was too great for Murphy to seize every opportunity to solve the problem before the Scourge of Twilight continued to spread to the worst.

But the news Hogg brought back also proved another widely circulated fallacy.

In other words, the secret of the power of the Bone Biter King is not in the Moss Valley, but everyone feels that the Holy Land of the Gnoll is buried with the secret treasure left by the Lord of the Biting Bone. So that guy Philet played a trick, and it deliberately misled those who had a heart? ”

In the face of Murphy's inquiry, the virtuous wolf nodded repeatedly.

It explains:

"Lord Philae is weak enough to show up to explain it to you in person, but you are generally right.

During the Third Plague 140 years before Lord Philae was awakened in our time, the Gnolls had already wrested control of the Mossy Valley from the Shadow Elves, the sacred site of Avalon, and it was only fitting that the secrets of the Biting King would be concealed.

For explorers who did not belong to the Golden Age, it was much easier to say that the Lord of the Biting Bones was the chosen one than it was for them to understand the power of the Creator.

Lord Philip was aware of this when he started the Fourth Black Plague.

It deliberately erased all traces of itself and concocted a set of facts that the Jackals believed to be a 'Saint' born from the Mossy Valley.

This lie was extremely successful.

Not only did it guide the gnoll's careerists to search the Mossy Vale for the Bite King's vault, but it also tricked Dusk's sight into hiding the truth.

The Civilization Hall, like the Exhibition Hall, is an underground facility.

It's always on the edge of Broken Fang's territory, close to the Skull Canyon heading to the Misty Sea, and it's truly off the beaten track. ”

Hogg took out a map of the Dark Mountains drawn by the Plague Clan and drew a circle in the southeast corner of the range, which was more than a thousand kilometers away from the Plague Valley in a straight line, not to mention the difficult mountains and mire terrain along the way.

The wolf pointed to the place with his paws and continued to explain:

"Senk, the chief of the Broken Tooth Clan, was once the most trusted captain of the Bone King's guard, the first follower of Lord Freed's harvest in that era, and the only gnoll other than the King of the Bone Eater to know the location of the Civilization Pavilion.

More like a brother to Lord Philae than a subordinate, Chief Senk is more like a brother to Lord Philae.

It was mortally wounded in a battle before the Black Plague, and the Lord of the Biterners played a scene with it.

It pretended to be stubborn and unwilling to join the Fourth Dark Plague, and was banished by the angry Bone King, losing its power, but the reality was that Lord Frered had secretly assigned an elite army to retreat to the barrenest part of the Dark Mountains with Chief Senk.

The purpose is to keep the secrets of the Civilization Museum.

As it turned out, Lord Philae did not believe the wrong man.

The Broken Fang Clan has adhered to the orders left by their chieftain for hundreds of years, never getting too involved in the politics of power in the Dark Mountains, and because their territory is so barren that other clans have no interest in attacking them.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the gnolls that the Broken Tooth Clan has subsequently collected are all marginal clans.

But here's the real problem.

Although Lord Frered left a plan, he did not anticipate the outcome of the war, and he himself died in the exhibition hall of the filthy swamp, which directly led to the Broken Fang chieftain not being able to get his leader back.

Old Chief Senk must have died long ago.

We can't be sure if it told its successor the secret before it died, and the Bloodscar Clan has been preaching to the Broken Tooth Clan, and the title of Lord of the Hunt works well in the barren lands.

It's a real adventure!

It will take a lot of time just to cross this road, and I can't ask you to walk with me, you have a more important mission.

I will take my followers through this quest and pursuit, and I believe that once we find the Gnoll Civilization Hall, and when my followers realize the true origin of the Gnolls, the false gods such as the so-called Lord of the Hunt are no longer worthy of their worship.

At that time, we will have a true army that dares to rebel against the evil gods. ”

"Well, you're thinking about it for a reason."

Murphy nodded, he also agreed with Hogg's decision, it was impossible for him to follow Hogg to find the Civilization Pavilion now, even if it was a flight, it would take half a month.

But the battle in the Black Flame Pass can't wait for half a month, and the situation on the Translancia side can't be separated from his sitting.

However, Murphy did not feel that Hogg's plan was flawless, he looked at the map in front of him, thought for a moment, and said:

"Where is the territory of the Black-Eyed Clan?"

"Here."

Hogg raised his hand and drew a small circle in the southern line of defense, and said:

"The Black-Eyed Clan is a vassal of the Whiptail Clan, and their territory is a fairly rich oasis throughout the Dark Mountains, and as the first servants to follow the Whiptail Clan, the Black-Eyed Clan also occupies one of the large oases, just between the two mountains.

I understand what you mean, and you want me to convince the Black-Eyed Clan to defect before I go, but to be honest, I don't have much hope for it. ”

The virtuous wolf touched his somewhat sparse head gloomily, sighed and said:

"The Black-Eyed Clan is not an unlucky bastard like the Plague Clan, which is not loved by grandma and uncle, they are in very good condition, and they also have a strong sense of identity with the Whiptail Clan.

Unless we can destroy the majesty of the Whiptail Clan, it is impossible for the Black-Eyed Clan to take refuge in us, and although I have co-opted the ambitious and talented Popok, it is said that the Black-Eyed Old Chief does not value Popoc as a son, and the cunning-sounding Gnoll prefers his eldest daughter.

And we don't have that much time for this kind of tribal politics with a cunning old jackal.

Their territory is two hundred kilometers away, and it takes time to get there, and there is a risk of being discovered by the wolf cavalry of the Whiptail Clan. ”

"No, I'm not asking you to convince it, you don't have the ability to turn a medium clan down with just one mouth, I'm just letting you have some contact with them."

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said:

"If that black-eyed old chief is as cunning as the legend suggests, then it will definitely leave a way out in advance.

I've learned about Popok from Nash, and if the old chief really didn't care about his son's life, he wouldn't have begged the Kherson Overseers to spare him with 2,500 clan elites.

That old thing may be doing a rather cunning kind of 'diversification'.

Popoc is a great lever. Well, with its character, it might be more appropriate to call it a barbell.

Hogg, you have to at least try, you don't even need to convince the Black-Eyed Chieftain, you just need to convince the reckless but courageous Popoc and let him bewitch the Black-Eyed Clan and take some 'young talents' like him to complete the 'Root-Seeking Journey' that is very important for all Gnolls.

This will be the epic of your race in this era, the search for ancestors and origins, which is extremely important for anyone who wishes to unite civilization. ”

"Ah, I see."

Hogg's brain spun fast.

Its enhanced intelligence immediately and keenly caught the unspoken words of Murphy.

For example, using the noble origin of the gnoll and the true identity of the king of biting bones to make an impulsive young man like Popock a diehard of the ideal of a virtuous wolf, after it realizes its mission, it does not even need Hogg to guide it, and Popok will naturally embark on the cause of overthrowing the false gods of the lord of the hunt.

And if its cunning father wants to prevent it from doing great things in the name of the successor to the King of Biting Bone, then a tragic but necessary "father-son filial piety" is expected to be staged soon.

At that time, Popok was a "righteous body", even if he really did something terrible, he could be forgiven, even rewarded, and praised!

It is more likely that after seeing the truth brought back by his son, if the black-eyed old chief is really as cunning as the legend, then he will realize the risks involved, and take the initiative to become a member of the Virtuous Wolf faction before his son becomes the "Great Filial Son".

Wonderful!

The eyes of the virtuous wolf were full of admiration.

It's Murphy-sama!

Such a vicious scheme is at hand, and it is not a conspiracy, after all, what father can hinder his son from doing something truly great?

It's not even sowing discord.

After all, Hogg had already figured out Popock's temperament in his previous contact, and he didn't even need to explain why, just told him that it had something to do with the secret left by the King of Biting Bone, and that Popock would definitely run around preparing his own dry food.

And although the Plague Clan has now taken refuge in it, it does require more Gnoll Cannons to safely enter the territory of the Broken Tooth Clan. Ahem, warriors!

Although the Broken Tooth Clan doesn't play with other clans, the strength of the people is one of the five real clans, and as a well-known diehard and conservative among the Gnolls, the result of provoking them will definitely not be too good.

"In addition, you need to choose a suitable 'birthplace' for your soon-to-be-arrived warriors."

Murphy whispered:

"While no Gentile has volunteered to become a Gnoll yet, I'm sure that by the time my Warrior Tooth informs their tavern of tonight's secrets, there will be some peculiar ones who will choose to become Gnolls in the future and be eligible to be a direct part of this epic saga.

Never underestimate the power of a Gentile in such a big event, it doesn't even take much, Hogg, fifty undead Heroic Spirits are enough for you to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

But as the caretaker of the 'Gnoll Heroic Spirits', it is important to be prepared to choose a suitable origin for them before they enter this world, and will not be despised or resisted.

The reputation of the Plague Clan is too bad, and we can't catch up with the big clans, so the Black-Eyed Clan is very suitable.

Neither too weak to be looked down upon, nor too strong to make too many enemies, as I did in Transnesia.

But you have to work harder.

I mean, a little bit more flexible, a little bit more generous.

After all, the gnolls don't fit the discerning aesthetic of my warriors, and it's hard to get them in."

"No, no, no, Master Murphy, you're talking about ugly gnolls in general, and I admit that their appearance is indeed too wild to be controlled by the creatures of order.

But we have another template.

Have you forgotten? ”

Hogg looked left and right, lowered his voice and said:

"Lord Philed's unique appearance is imbued with the majesty of a king, even to the most discerning elves. Anyway, your warriors are just a projection of psionic energy, and their appearance does not affect their strength.

Of course, we can't just make fifty biting kings in one go, but we can try it first, and I've even named them.

I intend to consider myself the rightful heir of Lord Philae, and I am going to create a new clan called the 'Descendants of the Biting Bone'!" Since they are all called the Bite Bone Descendants, it is understandable that they are more similar to Lord Philip. ”

"Well, that's not a good solution."

Murphy nodded.

He decided to go back and try to change the appearance of the gnolls. Belch? Why change your appearance? Just do a wave of "skin lottery" activities, and then "appropriately increase" the shipment rate of the two legendary skins of the Gnoll race, "Philet the Conquest of the World" and "Primordial Son: Virtuous Wolf Hogg", just throw them away?

Players who are already in the game will definitely not switch to Jackal because of a legendary skin, but some of the newcomers are good to play, what more bicycles?

Well, you can also spread some gossip on the forums and the Trancia Tavern, such as the fact that the Gnoll race has a very high built-in luck value, such as the fact that the Gnoll has a special mechanic, and the new expansion that can be directly linked to the "Creator's Legacy" after choosing the Gnoll, etc.

In Murphy's experience, this kind of gossip is often useful.

Well, that's it!

Murphy made up his mind, and he said to Hogg:

"Then let's do it, you finish the contact with the Black-Eyed Clan as soon as possible, be sure to take Bopock with you, and after you finish the construction of your birthplace, I will choose some great guys for you among the strangers who enter the continent as much as possible.

I'll let them be born in the territory of the Black-Eyed Clan, which means you may have to wait there for a few days, but there's no rush for such a big thing.

Think of it as a vacation for you.

I'm going to rush back to the Black Flame Pass as soon as possible, and I'll send the Grand Duke of the Blooddread Clan and his assistants to assist you, and their territory is in the Bloody Harbor of the Misty Sea, not far from the Gnoll Civilization Hall. ”

"I still need some Assassins, Master Murphy."

Hogg did not hide his needs, it said:

"I need a lot of assassins like the Nightkin of the Thorn Clan, I can unite those who have ideals in the name of the Virtuous Wolf, but I also need to use fear as a means to suppress those who have different intentions and waver."

"You take this."

Murphy handed Hogg a blood crystal that could be linked to Lady Shane, saying:

"Talk directly to the Great Duke of Thorns as a virtuous wolf! Don't be afraid, you can talk and laugh with Her Majesty the Wolf Maiden in the Brass Fortress, just a thorny duke. ”

"You're laughing, who would dare to ignore a king of assassins like Lady Shane?"

Hogg grinned and took the Blood Crystal.

But when Murphy turned around, it suddenly remembered something, and took a few steps forward to report:

"Speaking of brass fortresses. There's something in that city that upsets me, Master Murphy, and it's hard for me to describe that feeling, but the city of brass dwarves seems a little too much, how can I describe it? Too impetuous, too noisy, too noisy.

That sound can even go straight to the soul and provoke anger!

Lord Pa Ying said that he had never liked that city, and I think he was referring to the same as what I perceived.

Perhaps because of the wisdom of genetic enhancement, I think I should get as far away from that city as possible, and so should you, and don't get too close to it unless I have to. ”
