Chapter 729: 第727章 贤狼的未来预言汝妻子吾养之
Chapter 727 726. the future prophecy of the virtuous wolf – Thy wife I have raised
Ordinary people who suddenly and unexpectedly met their long-dead great-grandfather one day would probably be able to talk about many, many things on both sides.
But this trope could not be applied to Xu Gerson and the King of Biting Bones, for one thing, the jackals as a race were emotionally indifferent, even between father and son there was not so much warmth to speak of, this was not only determined by the habits of life, but likewise determined by the level of civilization.
Secondly, this guy Xu Gerson’s life is also quite sad.
As an orphan, it was raised by the chief of the Potana, although the master mother of the Split Claw was good to it, and regarded it as the most perfect work in her life, but that kind of affection was more from the Potana’s morbid worship of the king of the bone biter, rather than how much the Potana really loved it.
The Lord Mother of Splintered Claws didn’t even teach her own three children well, you’d expect her to be a good mother here in Huegson that’s a big no.
If she really wanted to be loving, she wouldn’t have left so many scars on Xugerson’s body from so many voodoo enhancements, even his vocal cords were incinerated, and even though that was an accident, there’s no guarantee that it wasn’t because Potana was too lazy to listen to the pup’s cries of grief.
It’s hard to say that the reason why Hüggesen sank into the affections of Nanak Blackeye wasn’t because the loner hadn’t been treated gently since he was a child, and the first female of his age that he paid attention to just happened to be the intelligent and wild Nanak, which led directly to him falling deeper into the situation and struggling to extricate himself from it.
But having that kind of childhood doomed Huegson to have trouble with this whole dealing-with-people thing.
In this case, when Xu Gerson encountered his own great man grandfather’s “speech therapy” attack, it is very normal that he was at a loss for words, and as a great man of the jackals who commanded the jackals and overturned half of the world, although Lord Frederick did not use many tricks and plots, it was not because he did not know how to use them.
In the face of Xu Gerson, a “problem child”, he easily took him down in a couple of words.
The two of them were not on friendly terms, but right next to the rock where the King of Bones sat when he first appeared, under the guidance of the King of Bones, the silent Xu Gesen quickly told the story of his own upbringing and what he intended to do.
“Ah, so that’s how it is, Potana’s desire to mold another me is truly ambitious! Unfortunately her strength is clearly not worthy of this brilliant ambition, look at what she has raised you to be.
I don’t see a second King of Biting Bones, I only see a scarred dog with a broken spine.”
Philip was not angered by the wickedness of the Lord Mother of Splintered Claws, it only said rather regretfully:
“That ambitious chieftain obviously can’t understand where the true power of a jackal comes from, and she knows even less about how this power can be utilized to its true power, it’s good to be dead, and it also saves me from having to spend time explaining to you what it means to cultivate and what it means to utilize.
I no longer have so much time to teach you to distinguish between people’s hearts, and then encourage you to bravely confront her and ultimately defeat her.
Ah, I owe that lord another favor.
But your leash has been loosened and you are planning to put on another collar again, ai, Officer Murphy’s evaluation of me is really accurate, I have spent my whole life trying to make the jackals live like human beings instead of beasts, but after I have fought for more than ten years and even overturned half of the world for this purpose and died for another one hundred years, I realized that it seems as if nothing has changed.
You are still so stupid and reckless, self-sacrificing willing to be loyal dogs at the feet of others.”
“Murphy? Sir?”
Huegson was unable to hear the name now.
It jumped up angrily on the spot and roared in this mental space:
“It was that vampire who killed my mother! He is the Jackal’s worst enemy, how can you, as the King of Legends, be in league with him!”
“Sit down! Don’t be so agitated.”
Frederick glanced at it and said indifferently:
“If you interrupt me again, I’ll crush every bone in your body in passing while instructing you in your battle techniques, and call this process ‘education in love’. You little brat remember this for me, Portana is not your mother!
She doesn’t deserve such a warm word as you use to describe her.
She is just an ambitious woman who wants to use you and tame you as a dog, and you can be grateful that she has sheltered you and left you an entire clan, but to develop more undeserved feelings because of that only proves your weakness.
I think you’ve probably realized that yourself.
Otherwise you wouldn’t have been quietly romancing a girl from the Black Eyes Clan, and you knew what would happen to your children if Potana found out about you, so you hid it from her.
Well done!
This proves that you’re quietly rebelling, this proves that you still have a bit of wildness as well as a bit of brains.
It proves you’re still saved.
This one act alone shows that your feelings for Portana are also mixed, and that you’re not as angry about her death as you’ve described.
I’m guessing that you even felt an eerie sense of relief the moment you confirmed her death.
Well, there’s no need to explain it to me, I’m not interested in hearing it or counseling you, but I’ll tell you a few things, things that I’m working on with Hogg and Chief Murphy, and things that you have to be a part of.
I don’t even need to convince you.
Because you have my blood in your body, and inheriting my power naturally means you have to inherit my duties and missions as well.
You can refuse.
And I will only say it to you this once.
I won’t interfere with your choices, but you better behave yourself in front of me, you can disrespect me, but you have to respect the power.”
Huegson fell silent.
Of course it wanted to fight back, but the King of Biting Bones proved to be too much to beat it with one hand.
Over the next few minutes, the King of Biting Bones described his life and the fall of the Lord of the Hunt to Xurgeson in a very abbreviated tone, explaining in passing the source of the Jackal’s birth and Hogg’s upcoming excursion.
It did not need to say more; Hogson was wise enough to understand the significance of this journey for the Jackal civilization.
But it still had its doubts.
After Frederick had finished speaking, it asked rather incomprehensibly:
“I can understand why you must destroy the Lord of the Hunt, but why cooperate with Murphy? Is there something unique about that vicious vampire? Is this black plague also in your plans?”
“I already called him ‘sir’, what do you think his status is?”
Frederick said in a calm tone:
“Officer Murphy is the last hope left by the Creator for this world, you may be caught up in the situation and unable to understand the pathetic role that the Jackal civilization plays in the conspiracy of subspace, you may still hate the Transylvanians because of the miserable defeat they gave you, but you must understand the difference between the primary contradiction and the secondary contradiction.
You cannot be a Jackal with the future of an entire race in your heart, as Hogg is, and your experiences as a child make it difficult for you to empathize with the suffering of other Jackals, but you should at least think of your lover and your children, Hogson.
The Lord of the Hunt cannot be born without the only people you care about suffering as a result.
That is the only thing I ask of you, to assist Sagewolf and Murphy and the Kingslayers in this matter with all your might, other than that, I have no intention of getting involved in your feud with Transylvania, and I don’t really care where you end up in the future.
I don’t care where you go from here. You have my war blood in you, so perhaps dying on the battlefield is the best place for you to go.
Understand?”
“Uh-huh.”
Hearing the King of Biting Bones mention Nanak and her child, Xu Gerson could no longer say any words of defiance.
In fact, it wasn’t just the King of Biting Bones who was describing to it the threat of the Lord of the Hunt after its birth, even the dead Potana had said similar things, which was enough to prove that its grandfather, Lord Philip, hadn’t been deceiving it in this matter.
And it was true that Hoggson shared a common interest with Hogg and the God Eaters in this matter.
It said:
“So, I shouldn’t become the Lord of the Hunt’s Divine Chosen? Perhaps I should take this opportunity to launch an attack on that shrine? With a weapon like the Wolf’s Blood Sacred Sword, perhaps all it takes is a chance and I can”
“There is no need to try, I tried your martial arts just now, you can’t do this thing right now, Potana’s interference with your powers with voodoo has kept you from using the destructive power this blood and bone is supposed to have at all.
Another three times stronger is barely close.
That shrine was personally turned by me in the Jackal Civilization Hall with the Creator’s lathe, I know better than you how strong it is, not to mention that it is now augmented by divine power.”
Frederick shook his head:
“So we can only take more risky means, you, just follow your original plan, return to the Mossy Valley to become the Lord of the Hunt’s Divine Chosen and expel as much of Potana’s voodoo as you can with the help of the Divine Power Enhanced Wash.
I will leave you some of my understanding of martial arts and power, and after you are pure again, you can learn that knowledge.
And you need not fear that you will be tainted by the Lord of the Hunt.
Chief Murphy has a magical gift that can easily purify this bestowal of power from the evil gods, and as long as you hold the high ground of your mind and don’t let the mind of the Lord of the Hunt eat away at you, you will be able to return to a state of purity after great things have been done.” “I will not pray to him!”
Huegson said stubbornly:
“Murphy is my enemy! As you said, it may be true that Portana only wanted to use me, but without her, I would never have survived this long, and Murphy killed her, and I must have my revenge! It is a Jackal tradition.”
“Whatever! Like I said, I’m really not interested in how you organize the end of your life, and you don’t have to report to me when you run off to die.”
Frederick snorted and said:
“Actually, even without the help of Chief Murphy’s gift, you can still rely on your own power to fight against the thoughts of the Lord of the Hunt.
It sounds difficult, but Laozi is a perfect creature of the Golden Era, born to be a superior defender in the Creator Sequence, and you have inherited my potential and genes, and even though it’s not full power, your resistance to subspace objects is more than a hundred times stronger than an ordinary Jackal.
After all, it hasn’t been born yet, and it’s not that easy to corrupt your mind, but if you yourself are too weak to resist that temptation and fall into a demon, then you can’t blame others.
Now listen up.
After you become the divine choice of the Lord of the Hunt, the priests of the Blood Scar Clan will surely ask you to hold all kinds of sacrifices in the material world in order to speed up the birth of the Lord of the Hunt, and all you have to do is to delay this process as much as possible!
At the very least, wait until Hogg’s search for his roots is complete, and at the very least, wait until the Creator’s beliefs take root in the Jackal civilization!
That way, even without the Lord of the Hunt, our civilization and the soul consciousness of our people will have the right place to go.
Moreover, the Creator’s Faith can divert the Lord of the Hunt’s control over the clan, so that even if the worst happens, the clan won’t all fall the moment the Lord of the Hunt is born.
But you have to be smart.
There’s a technique to delaying something like this, and from this point of view, your enemies are actually your allies as well, and you can easily accomplish this by simply cooperating with their strategy.
And finally!
You need to seize this opportunity!
What the Sage Wolf is doing is saving the souls of his people, but the Jackals have been barbaric for far too long, especially in the hundred years since my departure, and the rise of the Blood Scar Clan has caused our people to become more and more brutal and see it as a virtue.
Okay, I admit it, it was a bad start on my part.
But now that the situation is what it is, you’re going to seize the opportunity to clean out the most brutal of these bastards!
Conscript them in the name of the Lord of the Hunt and throw them into battle to be consumed.”
“But won’t that hasten the birth of the Lord of the Hunt?”
Huegson asked rhetorically:
“All He needs is sadism, war and death, and the more intense the battles on the front lines, the faster He will be from awakening.”
“He will awaken just the same if you do nothing, but the more brutalizers you take will make the war easier for the God Eaters of Hogg as they storm the Mossy Valley, especially the members of the Blood Scar Clan.”
Frederick shook his head:
“Those aren’t things you need to think about, you just need to follow those guys’ plans to accomplish what you want to do, you just need to make sure your soul doesn’t fall too fast. In this matter of devouring the gods, you have already assumed the most important part.
You will eventually be faced with choices.
I will not hide this.
Whether or not this thing works out, your choices at that necessary moment will be crucial, and I really don’t want to give such a task to a guy with a serious hole in his heart like you if I can help it.
However, as fate would have it.
Is there anything else you’d like to ask? Hogg’s not going to last much longer, and I need to get you out of here as soon as possible.”
“Do you ever regret it?”
Hogson said:
“Portana used to wonder about that; if you were given the chance to live again, would you still start the war that toppled the world?”
“What kind of stupid question is that?”
Philip gave a hideous smile as it said:
“I am the son of creation!
I was created with the mission of defending a thriving world under the Creator’s blueprint, and you all think that the reason I wage war is to rule it.
NO!
It is not!
You cannot understand the pain and loss in my heart as I awaken in this age.
I didn’t start the war because I longed to destroy this world, quite the contrary, I just wanted to fulfill my mission, I just wanted to make turn the wrong fate of the world back to the right track, and then protect it in my way!
So in the face of this stupid question, I will tell you that if I were given a chance to start over, I would have waged the war just the same, I would have destroyed this era built on the ruins of the Golden Era just the same, and then rebuilt it and then defended it.
We are the Jackals!
We are savage but not depraved, we are ignorant but not stupid, we are chaotic but not chaotic, and there is hope for us yet, but if you make the wrong choice at some point in the future, then there is no hope for us anymore.
Keep that in mind.”
Frederick reached out his hand and tapped it at Hügesen’s forehead, and as he sent it out of this mental space, it said:
“Don’t live for others, little one, live for yourself from now on, understand?”
“Buzz.”
Before Xu Gerson had time to savor these words spoken by his grandfather, its consciousness returned to its own body, and while it seemed like a long time had passed, in reality, the conversation in the spiritual world had only passed for less than a few minutes in the material world.
It still maintained the movement of holding the holy sword to slash Hogg to death, but the Sage Wolf in front of it was already staggering from the depletion of its energy.
Hoggson subconsciously pulled it back with one hand and stuck the Wolf Blood Sacred Sword on the ground again.
This scene surprised Nanak greatly.
What was going on with these two men?
Just a moment ago, they were fighting to the death, how come all of a sudden it seems like they’ve become good friends.
“Well, it seems that you and Lord Frederick had a good talk.”
Hogg was assisted to sit on the ground, and the Sage Wolf panted heavily as it stared at Xu Gerson in front of it and said:
“You probably don’t know that there was a time when I envied a physique like yours, and there was even a chance that I could mold myself into such a perfect posture, but I eventually realized that it wasn’t what I needed.
Strength is not a necessity in many cases, let alone having it but not being able to use it well as you do.
Take my advice, Lord Hogson.
Give up that sword in your hand when necessary!
It doesn’t belong to you. It will only bring you bad luck.
I can also guess that Lord Frederick has entrusted you with a very dangerous mission, and perhaps at some point in the future you will be faced with a choice, but if Lord Murphy is standing across from you at that time, you may choose to trust him.
That lord never disappoints those who place their hopes in him, even if they are enemies.”
Huegson opened his mouth.
Still, the vocal cords damaged in the material world failed to produce a sound.
However, the clever Sage Wolf seemed to have sensed what Xu Gerson was trying to express, and it nodded and said:
“Don’t worry about going, I will take care of Ms. Nanak in your place, and if you can’t come back, I will adopt your children, become their father, and do my best to raise them to be as our tradition, that last light of humanity.
Rest assured.
I am not Potana, and I will never be her.”
