"Ahh

A violent sneeze came out of Hogg's mouth, causing it to convulse as it sat in its wooden wheelchair.

It probably triggered the wound and made it grin.

This scene made His Royal Highness Khufu, who was walking beside Hogg, a little surprised, obviously the Gnoll Civilization Hall where the two of them were at this time had perfect temperature control, and there should be no such a cold situation.

"It's nothing, don't care, but suddenly I felt a chill, as if something strange was happening, and I heard a cry of pain with strange pleasure in a trance. Well, maybe I misheard. ”

Hogg explained.

It propelled its wheelchair with its own paws, and declined the crown prince's offer to help.

When His Royal Highness Khufu came from afar to observe it, Hogg was actually paying attention to this Highness Khufu, and Hogg was noncommittal about the peculiar blue skin and small fangs of the Songhai people.

What it really focuses on is the character of this Highness and the hidden meanings revealed in his words.

Khufu had arrived at the Gnoll Civilization Pavilion a day earlier through the teleportation board in the swamp exclusion zone, and over the past few hours, the Songhai crown prince had toured the entire land of creation and watched several films depicting the glorious images of the gnoll ancestors.

Hogg set aside time for His Highness Khufu to reflect on and certify the status of the gnolls in the Creator system.

At this point, both of them knew that it was time for a showdown to talk about something really important.

"Would you rather start now, or will we have a meal together?"

Hogg said softly:

"Of course, you may have to endure the barren food supply in Broken Tooth's Territory, which is a remote place even in the Dark Mountains, where the people of the Broken Tooth Clan are known for their resilience, though this is not their chosen way of life."

"No need, let's start talking now, your time is precious, and I will rush back to the Origin Pioneer that is still under repair as soon as possible."

His Highness Khufu waved his hand.

His chief guard, Thornik, immediately backed out of the distance, leaving room for the two bigwigs to talk, and Popok, Hogg's squire, did the same.

However, the belligerent Popoc still looked at the Songhai people opposite him with a defiant gaze after withdrawing.

Although he is already a loyal dog under the seat of the Creator, the Jackal's savage aggressiveness has become a habit, which can not be reversed in a short period of time, not to mention, even if everyone is the Creator's dog, there is still a winner and a loser between dogs.

As we all know, dogs are creatures with a strong sense of sociality and status.

However, in the face of Popok's provocation, Sannick's chief guard didn't respond at all, he felt that this jackal with black circles under his eyes didn't have a bit of a force, didn't you challenge me with a silver rank and a gold rank waiting to be beaten?

Popok apparently disagrees with this.

It doesn't feel that its body strengthened by the power of creation will be weaker than that of Sannick, a Songhai person, and although the final defeat is most likely doomed, the battle in the middle can also help Lord Xian Wolf distinguish whether these Songhai people are really brave and worthy of the glorious title of Follower of the Creator?

Probably a little uncomfortable from Popock's overly aggressive gaze, Captain Sannick couldn't help but ask after a few minutes:

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you!"

Popok obviously communicated a little too closely with the players of the Blue Wolf Army, and subconsciously said the "Golden Sentence of the Covenant", but it quickly changed its words:

"I just heard that the Huangsha warriors of the Songhai people are first-class warriors on the mainland, and they have itchy hands, and their conversation will not yield results for a while, and the Jackal Civilization Hall is also very safe, why don't we learn from each other?"

"I'm not interested, my blade is only made to protect."

Thornik decisively refused, and Popoc snorted and said:

"Of course, everyone's weapons as Guardians of Creation are there to protect this continent, but cowards are not among them!

Songhai people keep saying that you are the Creator's favorite children, but as you have just seen, in the records of the Civilization Hall, there are humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings fighting side by side with our gnoll ancestors.

They are all children of the Creator, but you blueskins are the only ones among them.

Can I understand that in the Golden Age, the ancestors of your Songhai people were also a group of cowards? ”

"You're enough!"

Popok elevated the covenant to the discussion of the will of the ancestors in the form of "pulling hatred" in contact, which directly poked at the proudest point of the Songhai people's character, and Rao was a little angry that Sannick was a steady warrior.

This is tantamount to insulting the gods of nature to the Avalon believers, and humiliating Vam as a coward to the barbarians, and if others don't pick up a brick and open your scoop, it means that he is not religious.

The chief of the guard scolded, and said to Popok:

"You have to apologize!"

"Of course I can apologize, the Creator taught us to be humble, but our humility is reserved only for true warriors, come on, Songhai people, we use our fists and feet without weapons."

Popok raised his fist and said:

"If you defeat me in twenty moves to prove your bravery, I will apologize to you!"

"You can use less than twenty moves."

Soon, a thumping sound sounded in the corner of the Civilization Pavilion, but it didn't affect Hogg's conversation with Khufu, in fact, the suspicions that Popock spoke were one of the main topics of their conversation.

However, both of them are decent people, so naturally it is impossible to put this question on their lips as bluntly as the soldiers.

Necessary greetings are still necessary.

"I am honored that your father has invited me to the Land of Origin as the head of the faith of the Guardians of the Creation, and if the time comes, I will personally go to the Ptolemaic city to pay my respects to the Pharaoh."

Hogg sat in a wheelchair and said to Khufu:

"The successful end of the Black Plague this time, especially the punishment of the Mossy Valley and the Evil God, is destined to fail without your help, so this victory also belongs to you, and the Songhai Empire is already a friend of the Creation Guard."

"Are they just friends?"

His Royal Highness Khufu sat in the chair opposite Hogg, and before he arrived, he had prepared and simulated this with his brother-in-law, who had awakened himself, and he knew the most important task of his trip, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Your Excellency, you and your followers are fighting for the Creator's Orthodoxy, and the Songhai people have always believed in the Creator's Orthodoxy since the founding of the country, and our relationship should not be just friends.

In fact, a hundred years ago, when the King of Biting Bones was in power, my father and I personally came to the Mossy Valley to discuss with Lord Philip, and my father tried to persuade Lord Philip to give up his army in the name of the Creator Faith, but he coldly refused and made a rather bad request.

I'm just hoping for a different result. ”

"Wait a minute!"

Hogg made a pause and said:

"Since you mentioned the King of Biting Bone, let it ask you a few questions on my behalf."

"Huh?"

Khufu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he saw Hogg close his eyes for a moment and then open them again, even though he was still the skinny gnoll, but at this moment the momentum displayed by the virtuous wolf changed violently.

That fierce gesture even made His Highness Khufu a little breathless.

"I am Philed, and I remember the scene where your father spoke with me."

The Lord of the Biting Bones manipulated Hogg's body, stared at Khufu in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I asked your father a few questions, and I guess he must have told you the answers to my unreasonable demands. Now I ask you once again, the crown prince of the Songhai people, and I hope you will not be as speechless as your father was.

Have you Songhai people really seen the Creator? ”

"Of course I did!"

His Highness Khufu immediately responded:

"How can it be false, that event is inscribed on the Great Pyramid of Issus, and that the family of the thirty-three sages who met the Creator at that time is still circulating today?"

"Do you think it's appropriate for you to explain my question with your own history?"

Philip said mercilessly:

"Isn't this as ridiculous as the thieves using the title deeds they secretly modified to prove that the house of the bitter lord stolen by them should belong to them?

I'm from the Golden Age, Khufu.

I have told your father who I am, and I want to tell you that the truth recorded in my memories after I awakened is a terrible blow to you Songhai people.

You are not the children of creation!

You are only the natives scattered in the sands, and you have been lucky enough to set foot in the Land of Creation and gain some access during the destruction of Eden, but that is not enough for you to call yourselves the children of the Creator!

Therefore, in the face of your inquiry at this time, I can still give the same answer as I did a hundred years ago.

You are not qualified to say anything about the Creator!

Especially when dealing with the Creator Guardians who have found the faith, unless you are 'officially recognized'.

By the way, when I go back, help me ask your father, why did he send a solar ship to bombard my camp at the last moment when he promised that I was not going to participate in the fourth black plague! Did he want to kill people after confirming the truth?

Do you want to take that opportunity to erase all the secrets of a thousand years ago?

Oh, what a pharaoh who did his best for the inheritance of the Songhai Empire. ”

Khufu was choked and speechless.

Faced with the information revealed by the King of Biting Bone, his first reaction was to deny it, but then he thought of the pictures he saw in the Civilization Museum, and it was indeed as the King of Biting Bones said, there was never a figure of Songhai people in the images that recorded the golden age.

This made him have a terrible thought in his heart, isn't it?

"Don't think about it, Your Highness Khufu."

Hogg regained control of his body, coughing and saying:

"The King of Biting Bones is the most orthodox successor of the Golden Age, and it is not used to taking some things for granted, but we need to deal with these legacies with a more realistic attitude in this era.

In fact, no matter what the truth was back then, it is no longer meaningful now, thousands of years later.

The Songhai Empire is indeed sitting on a vast legacy of the Creator and it is impossible to take it away from you, but in fact you are indeed the successors of the Creator, and your actions over the millennia have proved that you have been abiding by the Creator's doctrine and have not abused this power.

What you lack today is only an authoritative proof. ”

"You mean, you can use your identity as the head of the Guardian of Creation faith to seal this out?"

The already distraught Khufu asked, and Hogg let out a laugh, beating his legs, which had been shattered from the previous battle, and whispered:

"How can I be qualified to justify a powerful empire?

But there is one person who can really satisfy the lack of legitimacy of the Songhai people, you know who I'm talking about.

As long as the Lord declares the Songhai Empire as the most devout follower of the Creator as the Chosen Creator, then no one can question your legitimacy, not even Lord Philip will gladly accept the result.

Therefore, Your Highness Khufu, the person you need to convince is not me.

The Gnoll Kingdom is in ruins, and for me and my companions, support from the Songhai Empire is something we must strive for, so as long as the Lord nods, I can stand for you on any occasion.

Whoever dares to question the legitimacy of the Songhai people, I can even send a large army to crusade against them.

But all this has a premise.

As I said earlier, until you solve this problem, we can only be friends, do you understand what I mean? ”

"I see."

Khufu nodded.

He knew that the virtuous wolf meant to let him go away from Murphy's relationship, and the Creator God Chosen could indeed replace part of the Creator's majesty in the current era when the Creator had left, at least in the matter of certifying "the Creator's favorite child", Murphy was the same.

No wonder Father sent his ship to welcome Murphy to the Land of Origin, and I am afraid that Father had similar intentions in mind.

But doesn't that prove that what the King of Biters just said is true?

Could it be that the Songhai people are really just a group of natives who are lucky enough to be pitied?

It's also too.

"You're so distracted that it's not time to continue talking."

The virtuous wolf shook his head and said:

"Let's wait until the Pharaoh's birthday feast before we continue."

"Well, thank you for your understanding."

His Highness Khufu stood up and said goodbye to the virtuous wolf.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered his brother-in-law's advice, so he turned to the virtuous wolf and said:

"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, the Songhai Empire's support for the Gnoll Kingdom will not be cut off, you are eager to end the conflict with the civilization camp and focus on your own civilization construction, which is also the result that the Songhai people want to see, so you don't have to worry about the war reparations of the Black Plague to the countries this time.

The Songhai Empire will pay this money on behalf of the Creation Guardian faction, as a sincere gesture of friendship between the two sides.

In addition, if you can find a suitable port, the Songhai fleet will send a batch of food, seeds, and supplies as soon as possible to help you build the city and reclaim the famine. ”

"This"

Hogg's eyelids jumped.

The heart said that this Songhai people are really big dogs!

Without blinking an eye, he paid the war reparations on behalf of the gnolls, this kind of sincerity shows how can you let the gnolls who are now poor and white?

Of course, the virtuous wolf also knew that if he took this money, then he would have to show his position when the Songhai people needed it.

To put it mildly, it's called humanitarian aid.

To put it mildly, this thing is called "hush money" or "change fee".

It really wanted to stand up and reprimand His Highness Khufu not to dishonor the will and character of the Guardian of Creation with money, but first, it really couldn't stand up now, and second, as a leader, as it said earlier, it had to think about its civilization from a more realistic perspective.

With the support of the powerful Songhai Empire, the rise of the Gnoll Kingdom and the establishment of civilization can save a hundred years of detours.

People give too much.

Hogg hesitated for a moment, then nodded in his wheelchair and said:

"Then, on behalf of the Guardians of Creation, I thank the Pharaoh for his generosity, and I promise you that I will attend the Pharaoh's birthday banquet as scheduled, and I will also try to help you persuade you, Lord Murphy.

But please understand that it is not my opinion that plays a leading role in this matter, but the attitude of the Songhai Empire.

In fact, I have never understood the Songhai people's obsession with the creator, you see that the ancient kingdom of Colum never played these nominal means, but they can also become a continental power, maybe"

"You are not from Songhai, so naturally you cannot understand our reverence for the Creator."

Khufu shook his head with a serious expression and said:

"He is our Savior and our eternity!

The Songhai Empire is willing to pay everything for the curtain of the Creator, and we would rather the Empire fall than shed our blood to achieve the Creator's guidance, no matter what happened thousands of years ago, no matter what the truth in history is, no matter what Lord Murphy's attitude in this matter is!

None of this can change the Songhai Empire's devotion to the Creator.

We don't worship our God for profit, and that faith itself is a supreme gift.

Please also try not to touch on this issue when talking to Songhai people in the future, this is a topic that can't be talked about!

Now I beg your pardon for retiring, Your Excellency.

I'm so upset today, I really have to. Think about it. ”
