766. The God of the North Wind reluctantly declared that he was responsible for this wolf plague
Murphy arrived at the Winter Shrine a little later than scheduled, but the God of the North Wind had no objection to that.
On the one hand, Su's heir has done terrible things, and as the racial god of the astral wolf, Su also feels guilty.
On the other hand, as a deity in subspace, Sue could not have felt the terrible howl of the "Midnight Hostess" who had been mourning in the dark nebula since the Cadman disaster.
The secrets of the world are always simple in the eyes of the gods, who know that if Tracey's affairs are not handled properly, an evil god representing vampires will descend in a few minutes, which is much more serious than the awakening of an old god such as the Lord of Nightmares.
"As you can see, I'm pretty tired right now."
Murphy stood in front of the Shrine of the Winter Wolf, which had been emptied in advance, his face a little haggard, and Tracey seemed to be particularly violent tonight, making Lord Murphy and his waist really suffer an old sin.
He stroked the Winter Wolf Shrine and sighed:
"I also know that this wolf disaster has nothing to do with you at all, it is completely the silver wolf Kherson walking alone, but I still have to ask, why do you keep such an unbehaving daughter? Waiting for the Spring Festival to kill her to cheer everyone up?
She's clearly a scourge!
You should have drowned her in the urinal when she was born. ”
"Buzz"
Visions of a cold mist covered Murphy's eyes, his body remaining in the physical world, but his spirit being transferred to a rather strange area.
On the cold mountain top under the cover of thousands of miles of snow, under the light of a full moon, the giant wolf resting on the platform on the top of the mountain is close in front of him.
It's really the size of a mountain.
Just one tooth exposed when sleeping is comparable to a thousand-year-old wood, no wonder the Wolf Blood Holy Sword, one of the three artifacts of the Nords, can be made into the shape of a two-handed sword.
Based on this ratio, the wolf tooth that the god of the north wind gave to the hero king Boris is likely to be the baby tooth that Su lost when he was a child.
The white wolf under the moon in front of him was so huge that Murphy had a bit of a phobia of giants at this moment.
This is Sue's physiognomy.
Not just the wolf in front of him, but the entire area was his face, and it also showed Sue's powers, the cold wind, the falling snow, the ice mist, the sharp teeth and the unclear moonlight.
Yes, although Su rarely uses moonlight as a symbol of divine power, it does have some of the divine power of moonlight.
Of course, this is just like Kulkan's Purifying Fire, it is just a secondary power derived from the superposition of other forces, and it does not represent Su's core power.
"It's true that I failed to teach her well about Kherson."
A tired voice echoed in Murphy's ears, no longer the majesty and indifference of Murphy when he "asked God", it seems that even a god can become helpless and lonely when it comes to his own family affairs, just like a bad old man who can't manage his family well.
This also shows from the side that Kulkan is not lying.
After a thousand years of frontier warfare, all the gods are tired, and they really desperately need to rest.
"I'm interested in your family trivia, but considering our current situation, I still don't want to listen to you about the past."
Murphy stood among the faces of the gods, and he whispered:
"Something bad has happened, you have to find a way to solve it, I think you are prepared for the ending of Kherson, although I don't know how I will deal with her, but I guess I will definitely do it, so I hope you are ready to lose a daughter.
Truth be told, it's not a bad thing.
As the god of the astral wolf race, you were able to successfully launch a wolf plague on the material world in Kherson without permission, which already shows that something is wrong with your wolf pack.
I'm glad you're not a believer, otherwise I would have had to prepare a funeral for you in advance.
But I'm curious, are the small actions of Kherson related to subspace? Is this a pollution operation against you, similar to the risks that happened to Kulkan and Gaia? ”
"It's not."
Su replied decisively:
"The Wolf of the Astral has no faith, my faith is connected to Nordutov, if you want to pollute me, you have to start from the people of the Great Wilderness, this wolf plague is just the desire of Kherson. Murphy, are you familiar with the survival mode of the wolf pack? ”
"Not very familiar, I'm not a hunter, but I've heard a few from George."
Murphy whispered:
"Kherson is like a young wolf, challenging the old and weak wolf king, right?
She thinks that you are too weak to lead a thriving Astral Wolf Pack, especially since you have not been able to return to the Astral Plane for a thousand years since you ascended to the Divine Realm, so your wolf pack has always been managed by Kherson.
Such a problem is expected, but I am puzzled, you have many children, and Kherson is not the most favored and not the most powerful, why can she control all the wolves so easily? ”
"Because I need wolves on the battlefield in subspace, alpha."
Sue gave a reason that Murphy couldn't refute, and at the same time projected the flickering image into Murphy's eyes, allowing him to see the image of Sue leading thousands of giant wolves through the flaming enemies in a world of burning ruins.
They fight in collapsed temples, they tear through lost cities, they cross and cross over extinguished stars.
Yes.
Su also needs his own wolf pack to help him defend the kingdom of God against subspace on the frontier battlefield, and the strongest and most loyal heirs have been summoned to the truly tragic battlefield.
The silver wolf Kherson is not among them.
Maybe she didn't have the courage to embark on a path of no return, or maybe she had long planned to seize her father's throne.
"She's your child, so if she does kill you, will her take your godhead away?"
Murphy asked:
"I can't imagine seeing a narrow-minded, kingless Queen of the North Wind appear, and that would be a disaster for everyone."
"Theoretically, unlikely."
Su hesitated for a moment and replied:
"This divine power in my body does not come from the inheritance of blood, but from the favor of the creator, my use of it does not mean that I own it, according to the constraints of the frontier contract, once I die in the subspace, that power will be recovered by the Sentinel Legion and wait for the next qualified person.
There is no doubt that what Kherson did could not have been chosen by the sentinels at all, but considering that my rebellious daughter never knew the specifics of the Frontier Pact, it can be understood that she was just making a terrible but stupid attempt. ”
"Or worse."
Murphy said the possibility that no one wanted to see, he stared at the giant wolf in front of him, and said:
"Perhaps the shadows of subspace have told her all of this, and promised her to ascend to the throne if she can kill you in the battle of the wolfborn.
She's not coming at me, Sue.
Her goal is you!
Bad luck, I just happened to stand between you and her.
Get ready, I know you're tired of fighting enemies in subspace, but now that Kherson has launched the Wolf Plague, she won't stop halfway.
I can't fight against a powerful demigod now, and Mannes can't do it, if she does enter the material world, she may be able to destroy Nordtov overnight, and the weakness of the North means that you will be weak with it.
You need to be prepared for the worst. ”
"That's exactly why I'm calling you, Alpha."
Sue's voice became majestic again, and it responded:
"I still have children in the physical world!
It was an ominous beast that was born with a dark skin that was not accepted by the astral wolves, and all my children begged me to kill it, saying that it would bring disaster to the astral wolves, and that I had not yet ascended to the throne, but the astral djinn was also the father of the wolves.
I had to agree to the other children's requests to keep the race united, but I didn't kill my child, I just banished it to the physical world and let it take refuge in the cold winds of the Great Wilderness.
Find it, alpha.
Call its name 'Eris'.
If things go to the worst, then Eris will be my last defender when I am trapped in the kingdom of God. ”
"Ah, I know that the giant black wolf that roams the depths of the Great Wilderness, the legendary creature that the Nords call the 'Winter Wolf' in horror, is said to bring a winter that will freeze countless people to death every time it appears."
Murphy immediately thought of the stories about legendary creatures that Tracy had introduced to herself, and Sue did not defend her children, but simply said:
"That's just Eris's innate strength, and its anger is cold, and that's the power it inherited from me, and it's destined not to fit in, but to roam the world as a lone wolf.
Eris is innocent, and that lonely fate is not a script it can choose.
I hope it doesn't hold a grudge against me because of my banishment. ”
"Well, since you have a plan, then I'm relieved."
Murphy nodded, then changed his words and said:
"Then let's talk about reparations, great and just Sue.
This wolf plague is just the beginning, and Kherson will not stop until it reaches its goal, which means that the wolves she has put into the material world will bring terrible hidden dangers to the war of us mortals, and on the battlefield, the gnolls will be much less disturbed than us.
In extreme cases, this wolf plague could even be the last straw that overwhelmed Translasia.
Since you admit that this is the turmoil caused by your family affairs, then you must show some sincerity I heard that you have a very good relationship with the Eastern Holy Spirit, and help me persuade Ao.
I need Him to help Kulkan cleanse him of the filth at the right time, Avalon told me, you hate Kulkan because she was a deserter, but she's back on the battlefield, isn't she? Helping Quetzalcoatl get rid of corruption is only good for your wars. ”
"It's hard, Alpha, Ao won't open up in this kind of thing, preferential treatment of traitors is a betrayal of loyalty."
Su whispered helplessly:
"But Ao is not unkind, otherwise the terrible provocation of Endless Mannis will only end in death, and the bastard demigod actually tricked Ao's daughter into betraying him, but Li Ji woke up at the last moment.
The collaborator you choose is simply the most despicable thing that can be born in the astral plane.
But what happened to the Endless proves one thing, you just need to find a reason to convince Ao, to be precise, a favor that he has to pay back
Ao himself is without flaws, but his brothers are different, and I suggest you start with the troubles left by the Leviathan, which are very close to the brothers who control the sky and the sea, and their family harmony is enviable.
If Leviathan, the god of the sea, storms, and raging waves, helps to persuade him, Ao will most likely give Kulkan a chance.
That's all I can say.
I also don't want to lose Ao's trust again in this critical moment, that guy is a bit cautious. ”
"Then I'll change my claim for compensation."
Murphy thought for a moment and said:
"It's not for me this time, the warriors of Transencia are eager to gain the following of the Astral Wolves, especially the Hunters, who want to have their own companions. But the will of the wolves does not allow a certain Astral Wolf to submit to the worldly hunters, about that."
"Murphy, they are all following Kherson's orders to rebel against me, do you think the power I have given you to tame will make them obey?"
Sue was even more helpless.
The wolf under the moon sighed and said:
"Only by destroying the ambitions of Kherson can the wolves get back on track, and I can certainly give the approval of the wolves of the aliens, but they must be involved in this matter. Astral wolves do not obey the weak, they have to rely on themselves to gain the loyalty of the wolves. ”
"Okay."
Murphy nodded with some regret, but he rolled his eyes and said:
"You see, giving one is giving, and giving many is also a convenient thing, it is better for you to give my hunting partner George the power to form a wolf pack."
"This is the power that George himself needs to fight for! The wolves will not have the gentle tradition of father to son, and each wolf king has to rely on his claws and fangs to seize power, even the rebellious Kherson is the wolf king who is killed step by step. ”
Sue decisively rejected Murphy's request to leave the favor, saying:
"As the father of wolves, I can't take the initiative to break this tradition, which is the foundation of the strength of the wolf pack."
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I'm starting to doubt your sincerity, unjust Sue."
Murphy snorted and said:
"Say it yourself, how are you going to be responsible for this embarrassing incident? You can't just make a statement admitting your mistake and act like nothing happened, right? ”
"Murphy. I'm a god, and I'm not good at prophecy, but you know that I can hear any whisper in the wind if I want to, right? ”
The god of the north wind was completely helpless with Murphy.
He simply made it clear and said,
"I know what you've asked Kulkan to do for you, I didn't give Him the power of the Holy Light that you have carefully cultivated, but I can give Him some symbolism of 'fighting' and, in my words, help it grow fangs and claws.
I also know that you are working to bring the ancient and orthodox shamanic lineage back to Transasia, and that the fire of the sun bestowed by Kurkan has become a symbol of the path of the fire element, and that I will give your shamans the power to harness the wind."
"And the wolf spirit!"
Murphy added:
"Shamans who can't summon wolf spirits always feel that there is something missing, so give them the power to summon ghost wolves as a power trait of the 'Wolf God Wind Rider'. Well, I have to say, dear Sue, that you are really too generous in this regard.
And finally, of course, I have a little request!
Don't worry, this time it's not to covet your power, Telencia will definitely have a conflict with Nordtov in the future, the wolf girl has occupied our territory, if she doesn't want to return it, we will have to take it ourselves.
I hope that in that war your minions will not get involved in this sordid politics, that it will not detract from your greatness, and of course some of your followers will certainly complain about it.
But how to say it? ”
Murphy moved his neck and said:
"As an administrator, I should always have some preferential treatment, right?"
"If I were alive then, I would have sent down oracles, but I can't stop them from going to war in their personal name, faith is not omnipotent, especially when it is contrary to the loyalty that makes people forget their lives."
Sue made a promise.
Murphy was pleased with this, saying:
"That's enough for you, maybe you should find a way to talk to your daughter next, and while I don't think that relying on 'word therapy' will solve the big problems you are facing right now, I still wish you all the best in your next conversation with the traitor.
After all, it's all family, and there's nothing you can't talk about, right?
If your father's majesty does not make Ms. Kherson realize what a terrible thing she is doing, then I, an outsider, do not mind getting involved in your family strife. ”
Murphy leaned down in a farewell salute, and the next moment his consciousness returned to his body.
The vampire lord took one last look at the silent Winter Shrine, he shook his head, sighed, and said:
"Oh, family conflicts, so that such a great god has to break his spine and whisper to a vampire, it can be seen that this unbehaving child is really a disaster for parents. Thankfully, Tris and I won't have children in the future, and Adele probably won't be working on this, isn't that a good thing that comes with the vampire's curse? ”
With this emotion, Murphy walked out of the place where the shrine was, only to see Maxim talking to Leenia as soon as he came out, and a certain sadness was written on the bow knight's face.
Well, after Yvette "Walking Bulldozer" was taught a hard lesson by Tracey, it was time to put this hard-working mandarin duck on the agenda.
