562.Chapter 560 559 O Professor Malcolm, You Have Taught It All
Chapter 560 559.O Professor Malcolm, what things have you taught it! -The first time I’ve seen this, I’ve been able to see it.
(For brother “Huo Zheng is fine” [1/20])
In a group of Bafengt cultists gusting “welcome”, Murphy and the “Slate Expedition” left the Bafengt Palace without any danger, although it is not appropriate to say, but this scene is really like a very generous big boss leaving the bath city, the technicians to send off the scene. The scene is like a big boss leaving the bathhouse with a lot of money, and the technicians are sending off the scene.
That gesture is almost like shouting “welcome again”.
After they reached the middle tunnel, the entrance to the labyrinth below was closed by some kind of strange spiritual energy spell.
Obviously, the Baphomet cultists who pretended to have a big advantage were no fools.
Murphy to busy dealing with the black plague do not have time to pay attention to these fringe evil forces, and the lack of strength, they are also very worried about similar things happen again in their own palace, both sides know very well, today’s farewell is just for the next day “goodbye”.
And really, this dungeon is too big.
If it wasn’t for Tris and Hogg finding the civilization tablet here and fighting with the Twilightists, I’m afraid that even these cultists themselves don’t know that they were almost called by the blasphemous priests to the subspace shadows to pineapple pineapple da.
Although everyone believes in the evil god, but considering that each other believe in the same evil god is not the same, this is the same as mixing with gangsters but worshiping different parish is the same reason.
This kind of evil and evil encounter is actually enough to scare, the relationship between them is more “pure”, does not involve false justice reasons, the slightest carelessness will be easy to be merged with the fire, according to their actions at this time to close the large underground palace, these guys in the following period of time should be hiding until the outside world until the situation calms down.
“Winnie, ask your Minotaur if there’s still a way to the lower and middle levels.”
Murphy who was supported by Tris asked softly in the tunnel, just saw the real “big scene” this will be careful to jump around, still in the aftermath of the fear of Miss Winnie froze for a moment, and immediately followed Murphy’s instructions to send a question to his Minotaur.
That in the battle was injured but not serious wild minotaur snorted, leaning on the big brass axe stood in place shaking his head “sense” for a while, and then urn sound moo.
“Cow said there is a road! There are at least three other hidden paths that lead underground, although one of them is a dog hole.”
Winnie responded:
“In fact, Lord Murphy, I suspect that those Baphomet cultists probably don’t know much more about this dungeon than we do either, and that there may be hidden paths and chambers here that they haven’t even been able to discover themselves.
The area of this dungeon is simply too large, and there are too many forks in the road, it’s really not certain that just a few people from the Baphomet Cult would be able to figure out all the forks in the road.”
“Hmm, very useful information, take note of it.”
Murphy pondered for a moment, using his “Development Team Thinking” to go over this matter in his mind, four or five good ideas jumped out quickly, then nodded and said:
“In these few days you work hard, stay in Lady Bernice’s camp, take your Minotaur into the underground palace a few times every day, and try to draw out the topographic map of the upper floors of this underground palace, and sell it cheaply to the warriors or outsiders who will come to explore afterward.
The lower and middle floors do not need to go deeper after exploring the entrance, it is still a little dangerous for you, but you can issue a quest for those who are not afraid to die to help you perfect the map.
In fact if you’re interested, I’ll appoint you to be the ‘Blood Vulture Clan Labyrinth Exploration Officer’ on a permanent basis, and if you can rely on yourself to draw a complete map of Baphomet’s great dungeon, I’ll grant you a condition.”
“Huh? A condition? It sounds like an evil trick for a bad uncle to seduce a little girl.”
Winnie, who looked like a big girl from her dress to her mode of action, cocked her head and blinked her eyes as she asked:
“But I know you’re the most trustworthy person in Transylvania, so really, any condition is fine?”
Murphy shrugged and said:
“Actually, you don’t need to test me, little Winnie, you and I both know very well what you want in your heart, and since I said this, it means that I’m willing to help you realize your wish at some point in the future, but that’s after you’ve made your contribution to Transylvania.
There will be many warriors coming here for some time afterward, and they will have a plan to clear out the goatman mobs from the dungeon.
We’re going to use this place as an optional ‘battlefield’, and I’ll leave some of the warriors behind to fight guerrilla or something around Baphomet Canyon once the positions at Black Flame Pass and Desolation Mountain can’t be defended during the outbreak of the Black Plague.
You’ve also learned how to deal with warriors at the Red Magic Hall, and I’ll be spending a sum of money from the family treasury to support your endeavors, so would you be willing to accept this appointment?”
“I’m willing! Murphy-sama, it’s quite boring to stay in Transylvania all day, and helping you manage this dungeon and poking around the Baphomet cult sounds like fun.”
Winnie happily accepted the task.
Compared to her older sister, Melia Corando, Winnie Corando’s personality was obviously a bit more active, and she seemed to have completely adapted to her new life in the Blood Vulture Clan, never mentioning that her father had died in the Scarlet Fortress.
However, Murphy learned through Adele’s surveillance that compared to the steady Melia, Winnie has actually been trying to contact those gray-clawed gladiators in the Fight Club, this little girl looks unworldly, but actually has an idea in her heart.
However, Murphy was not worried about her messing things up, because Merliah had told Happy Stick that her sister’s relationship with her father was so bad that it was almost the same as an enemy, and the reason for that was because Corlando Layer wanted to marry the two sisters to other vampire executives of the Wolfsbane Faction to use for their alliance.
Winnie especially hated this behavior.
Therefore, after Corando’s death, Winnie, the “father’s daughter’s filial piety” template guy is probably the most relaxed person.
Compared to Merliah, who has become a Happy Stick Blood, Winnie has not yet chosen her own honorary leader and is still in a weak state.
Her own statement is to choose the same master as her sister, but according to Adele’s speculation, this long-term weakness itself is Winnie chose to use to show that she is “harmless” disguise, unlike her sister who has already resigned herself to her fate, Winnie has been planning to take over her father’s career and rebuild the splendor of Gray Claw faction.
This is Murphy’s mind that he had just heard with the power of desire, that’s why he gave Winnie that duty and wish.
Murphy liked such ambitious people, and the fact that they had a need meant that they could cooperate with him.
“My apprentice, you stay here for the next few days to help your Sister Winnie.”
The vampire lord turned back to Touch You Poor again:
“She is a very outstanding summoner, although she is not from the Star Realm faction, many of the basic learnings of a summoner are common, you can learn from her.
I’ve heard that you’ve received a letter of invitation from Phimis’s Red Devil Hall, consider this as your trial for membership, and organize the map of the upper levels of Baphomet’s Great Palace as soon as possible, we’ll use it later.”
“Ding.”
The random quest triggers made Little Rich Brother nod his head repeatedly, and Mrs. Tris then handed over the handwritten letter of “Summoning Minotaur” as the reward for this action.
A high-level spell made Touch Your Poor happy, because the Scorpion Lion had taken up the summoning slot and there was no way to contract a new permanent servant, now this high-level combat creature that could be temporarily summoned and exist for a long time could help replenish Little Rich Brother’s combat power.
It’s a real relief.
After settling down these two guys, Tris opened the portal to Wolf Castle and took Hogg and Paranor as well as the civilization tablet to quickly rush to the swamp forbidden land.
According to the previous agreement, Murphy sent a message to Mrs. Shani, inviting her to visit the Swamp Exhibition Hall, but the latter was still in Batasin City meeting with the Blood Fear Grand Duke Pablo and his First Mate Claire, and would not be able to come over until tomorrow at the earliest.
But this does not affect Hogg in tonight’s “coronation”.
At this moment, this skinny jackal was following his trusted Lord Murphy with a kind of awe as he stepped into the place of creation hidden in the depths of the swamp, and looking at the underground palace that obviously did not belong to the style of psychic energy painting, Hogg’s heart had a rare rise of a rather indescribable marvelous feeling.
It had already learned from the King of Biting Bones’ mere words that the world’s first Jackal was born here, and it did not know anything about genetic technology, nor did it take the time to ponder such a strange question as how a Jackal should be born in the absence of parents.
But undeniably, even if never been here before, Hogg is still here to produce a wonderful “home” feeling, it also reached out and touched the heavy steel door, the thought of their ancestors were born in this awesome place, Hogg heart also has a “with honor! Hogg’s heart also had a feeling of “honor and pride”.
Compared to Hogg’s strange mental activities, the Palano Knight was a lot more calm at this time.
He also deliberately changed into a relaxed “home clothes”, leaning on the cane, with a kind of tourist mentality in front of the mysterious place of creation, although the face of the ancient mystery of respect, but also stops here, and does not bring more fear and trepidation.
This immediately aroused Murphy’s curiosity.
While Paranor and Hogg were receiving the bio-information scanning and registration from the Iron Beetle assistant, Murphy asked:
“Has Sir Paranor ever been to a similar place before?”
“No.”
The Rose Knight shrugged and revealed a gentle and perfect smile as the big handsome vampire said warmly:
“I’ve been in Green Island when I was born as a human, and then I was in the Dark Mountains when I became a vampire, and this is the first time I’ve entered the Land of Creation.
Believe me, my heart is excited.
It even feels like witnessing a miracle, but that’s really all.
Vampires don’t have gods.
Everything here, no matter how great it is, has nothing to do with us, we’re spectators, Murphy, and all areas related to the gods are not our place to dabble in.”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
Murphy returned with a subtle tone, but didn’t do much to explain.
Locking eyes with Tris again as they stepped into the visitors’ hall, the two guys hadn’t told anyone else about the vampire archdukes’ connection to the Eden District, but they were certain that the Land of Creation was likely to have a much greater connection to vampires than any other ethnicity.
“Welcome, Your Excellency, Curator, back to the Exhibition! During the 149 hours you were away, everything was running normally within the Exhibition Hall.”
The three Iron Beetles flew and hovered beside Murphy, their official name here was “Curator’s Assistant No. 1, 2, 3”, and No. 1 of them issued an electronic voice to report:
“The restoration of the lower staff hall has been successfully completed! The energy conduits have been reset and tested, and all modules of the exhibition hall are now online! According to your previous instructions, the incubation device has completed its self-check and is ready to start hatching new Millennium Eggs.
We currently have 5 Millennium Eggs, is it time to restart the hatching process according to the Exhibition Hall’s gestation plan?”
“Begin, but hatch one as a companion for little Cavendina first, and follow up with a new breeding program.”
Murphy waved his hand.
The No.1 Iron Beetle immediately flew outside the main building, answering as it did so: “Command confirmed! Incubation work has begun! Incubation of the Millennium Egg in the shakedown Congratulations to Millennium Egg number four for obtaining the qualification for this incubation!”
The two remaining Iron Beetles continued to stay beside Murphy as he glanced at Hogg, who was looking left and right, and said:
“I just learned that there are bio-pods in the underground area of the exhibition hall that can complete the binding of the civilization tablet? Is that place still activated now?”
“Buzz information search in progress!”
The electronic voice echoed, and three seconds later, a map of the main framework of the exhibition hall was projected on that beetle and marked a certain area in the third underground floor with a red line, and the curator’s assistant number two answered:
“The underground biological test area has been closed for 1,161 years, and if it is reactivated a large amount of energy needs to be imported in order to activate the laboratory core! Please note that this operation will reduce the energy reserves of the exhibition hall to 85% of the safety standard, and an emergency in this mode will result in certain advanced security measures not being activated.
Will the curator please confirm if he wishes to reactivate the underground biological test area?”
“Wait!”
Before Murphy confirmed, Tris held his wrist, and she said with some concern:
“The security measures of the forbidden area is the last line of defense you left for the Black Plague, if it is weakened”
“But without activating it, there’s no way for Hogg to complete the Spokesperson Binding.”
Murphy hesitated slightly but quickly made up his mind.
He shook his head and explained:
“We’ve already set up a plan, and not being able to make Hogg a ‘Sage Wolf’ here will make it impossible to carry out the plan, and there’s no way for the Exalted Lord’s side to account for it. This is the hope of ending the Black Plague once and for all, it’s impossible to do something like this without taking a risk.”
“Tris, you don’t really have to worry about safety. Before I came here, the Venerable Lord gave me some messages.”
Paranor spoke at just the right moment:
“The Exalted Lord told me to ensure Hogg’s safety at all costs, to have the Exalted Lord say such words already represents his determination, in this case, even if the Blood Alliance Knights fight to the last man they will ensure that the plan will move forward!
I can’t guarantee you that the Knights will be able to hold Transylvania from falling, but I can tell you with certainty that the fledgling order of Transylvania will never be disturbed until the Blood Alliance Knights collapse.”
“I believe in Your Holiness’ determination, it’s just that this Black Plague has a little too many surprises.”
Tris rubbed her brow and said in a rare and somewhat uneasy voice:
“It can never just be an echo of the fourth Black Calamity, I have a premonition that this Black Calamity will change the continent, permanently and completely! And what we are doing now will undoubtedly be the single most important decision of the civilization camp in this Black Calamity.
It’s like the feeling of being in the eye of the storm, we can’t control those unexpected factors, we can’t even predict when those accidents will happen.
To be honest, I’m a little less confident.
Scarlet Witch is rarely low on confidence, which means that things are completely out of my control.”
“That’s normal, Tris, because we’re doing something big, and how can we do something big all the way through? Relax, as I told the warriors, this is just one part of the ‘big plan’.”
Murphy soothed Tris and looked back to Hogg, who hadn’t said a word, as he asked with a smile on his face:
“Then, as His Excellency the ‘Sage Wolf’, who was pushed onto the stage of history by my own hands, is there nothing you would like to say at this moment?”
Facing the gazes of the three vampires with varying eyes, Hogg shook his body as he raised his head, trying hard to portray majesty and confidence in that ugly face, but this attempt failed every time he thought about the duties he was about to shoulder.
Hogg gave a lousy grin.
It said:
“I’m not going to lie to you, adults, but my legs are shaking and the root of my tail hurts.
My greatest ambition before, Lord Murphy, was to become Lord of the Filthy Swamp, and I believe I have surpassed the ambition of 99% of the Jackals with this ideal, which was also fueled by you.
I felt at the time that if I could do this before I died, my life would be considered not in vain.
But things changed so suddenly.
The appearance of the King of Bites, the ordering of the regicide mission, and now I’m going to be the representative of the civilization of the Jackals, to be honest, my poor brain has been overwhelmed, especially since your conversation with the King of Bites has made it impossible for me to comprehend all those ancient hidden secrets to this day.
But I’m luckier than other jackals in that I’m naturally smarter and I’ve learned a lot from Professor Malcolm after obeying you.
I can understand why the Black Plague always fails over and over again, and I can understand why my compatriots try to break out of the Dark Mountains over and over again.
It’s not that we Jackals are naturally warlike, it’s just that we can’t live without fighting.
There is obviously some kind of problem with our civilization system that I can’t yet understand or solve.
But I am willing to try!
You are the most powerful lord I have ever known in my life, the King of Bite Bone told me that you are the most honored being in this world, and that the Venerable Lord Paying is the most powerful chieftain of the vampires, and he has lived for over a thousand years.
That’s about as close to a god as you can get in looking at me.
If figures like you all think I can, then I also think I should give it a try, but
Forgive my boldness, I have a request!”
“Speak.”
Murphy lifted his hand and placed it on Hogg’s shoulder as he said:
“Such a big thing, you as the Jackal’s chief in the future if you really don’t make a little condition, we are rather uneasy, say it, what do you want?”
“Filthy Swamp!”
Hogg suppressed the timidity in his heart, it said:
“There’s also Baphomet Canyon and Desolate Mountain! If I can really kill that evil god and can help the civilization camp eliminate the hidden danger of the Black Plague, then I’m going to get these three places for my people.
I know that these three places are barren in the eyes of humans and vampires, and they are barren as well, but compared to the dangerous environment of the Dark Mountains, these three places are already enough for the Jackals to establish a stable power.
As you did in Transylvania, my compatriots who are tired of war and are willing to be conscripted by wisdom might be able to make a fresh start in these three places.
The King of Biting Bones has already tried to solve his problems with war.
It has been proven that war is not the way to go!
We should try another path, and if I can become leader, I will lead the Jackals to join Transylvania as part of your nation.
I know we can’t build a kingdom of Jackals with just us, but with your help and leadership, we can at least stabilize it.
I don’t trust anyone else!
Whether it’s King Louie or the Wolf Girl, I don’t trust them!
I’ve never met them and I don’t intend to make friends with them, I know they look down on jackals like me, but you are different, I’ve seen with my own eyes how you led Transylvania to rise from the ashes.
You have the power to do it, that’s what I’ve seen with my own eyes.
So if you are willing to make a promise to me and my people, Lord Murphy, then I will do everything I can to be the ‘Sage Wolf’ you wish to see.”
Murphy and Tris didn’t answer, but Knight Paranor frowned and said:
“For you to want these three places means you and your people will have to face the ferocity of the Dark Mountains head on, and there are more threats to that place than just jackals, it’s not a good place to be.”
“But it is much better than the Dark Mountain Range, who would want to go back to the Dark Mountain Range to fight and die as long as my people have a good life here, as long as they have enough to eat?”
Hogg grunted as it addressed the Rose Knight:
“That’s how I rule Clan Bloodclaw!
I’m a chief in my size, I know how to manage a tribe of jackals, and I’ve seen firsthand the ferocity with which the Kingdom of Goldfinch fights for territory.
So even if you guys offered me better land, I wouldn’t want it!
Until we’re good enough, getting good land will only make more people come to fight us.
What’s more, I’ve actually thought about it, and I’m sure that even if the Lord of the Hunt dies, there won’t be too many Jackals to come back with me in the beginning, just look at Torn Flesh and Ken Potter, the Jackals in the Dark Mountains are wild and used to being wild, no one is going to obey a small man like me.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as my clan grows stronger little by little, many hungry jackals will come to me.
By the time the sixth Black Plague occurs, my clan will stand in your way .”
Saying this, Hogg showed a hint of cunning expression as it let out an underhanded laugh, spreading its paws in imitation of Murphy and said:
“Professor Malcolm once said that the Transians have relied on the threat of the Black Plague to extort things from other human kingdoms in the past few hundred years. The other human kingdoms protected by Transylvania didn’t want to fight, so they would obediently give money and food.
Lord Murphy had asked for food and support for Transia through such a method.
I just need to imitate the deeds of the Great One.
If my tribe stands between Transylvania and the Dark Mountains, then it’s my turn to ask those kings for money, and they’ll have to fulfill my demands if they don’t want to fight.
The jackals aren’t afraid to die, so who wouldn’t it be better to fight as long as they can eat?
You see, I don’t know if Professor Malcolm’s other students have learned the truths embedded in the General History of Transylvania, but I have anyway, at least I think I have.”
The answer froze the Rose Knight in his tracks.
Murphy and Tris looked at each other and he laughed out loud as the Lord Governor turned back to Curatorial Assistant Two and ordered:
“So, immediately restart the underground bio-lab and prepare the bio-pods! Chief Hogg, now say goodbye to your past, our Lord ‘Sage Wolf’, is coming online.”
