My players are so fierce.

Chapter 579 578. Next, please allow me to introduce Transia’s “new specialty” to the guests - [2030]

(Additional update for "Huo Zheng is very good" brother [20/20])

Tris is apparently a scarlet witch with countless secrets.

Although she has been telling her cute little Murphy stories about her past, those stories seem to never be finished. This fully represents how active and unlucky Tris was when she was in glory, and how much she loved it. Running around.

Murphy is also convinced that part of Tris's fatal attraction to him stems from her foggy past.

Although Tris has been around for more than a hundred years and is no longer the badass witch who could stop children from crying at night, the things Grand Duke Tris did when she was "famous" have obviously not faded with the passage of time. dissipate.

For example, today, Murphy learned about another "black history" of Tris.

No wonder this guy is so familiar with the story of the Goat Man. Murphy was fooled by her before, thinking that it was Tris's extensive knowledge of traveling across the continent, but after a long time of research, it turned out that Tris was one of the parties involved in this story. .

He actually has the status of "honorary elder" in Vidia Abyss City.

It’s really yours!

She has to run around to gain reputation without being prompted by the system. As a result, these reputations are now cheaper for her little man. She really makes me cry to death.

However, now that he has confirmed that he is "one of his own", Murphy's attitude towards this group of goatmen in trouble has become a little better. He even allowed the goatmen to collect the remains of his companions to avoid being caught by this group of people who were enjoying themselves. The "game" trolls were wasted as snacks.

This was a very generous act that moved a group of goat people so much.

It is difficult for people who are not natives of the Dark Mountains to understand this kind of emotion. In their view, Murphy actually risked angering the trolls and allowed them to collect the corpse. This is an absolute show of goodwill.

The leader of this group of goat people, the goat woman who wears gold and silver, has a big dumpling, and has beautiful coiled horns, is sitting cross-legged on the stone in front of Murphy, applying medicine to her injured hoof. Take Murphy's inquiry.

Well, I want to highlight the goat woman here.

Although called Goatman, the appearance of Goatman is not really that of a humanoid goat.

They just have some features that are very similar to goats, such as eyes, horns, small tails, etc., but they are still generally humanoid creatures. Although the face does not conform to the traditional aesthetics of vampires, there is indeed a hint of it. Come "come handsomely".

She has a strange talisman decoration on her furry forehead, and a leaf-shaped golden ring to tie her "hair". From this, it can be seen that this is a goat woman who loves beauty.

Moreover, her conversation was extraordinary and refined.

When chatting with Murphy, he could even quote scriptures, which fully proves that Tris's description of the goatmen is correct. At least the goatmen in Vidia Abyss City are still working hard to maintain their dignity as civilized creatures.

"My name is Julia, Governor Murphy. I am a second-level scholar in Vidia Abyss City and the person in charge of the 'Dark Roots' near the Black Flame Pass. My mentor was the one who accepted Mrs. Tris to join us. Introducer.

She kept describing to me the magic of Mrs. Tracey.

Especially in recent years, when the development of Baphomet's nightmare cult has become more worrying, she has always wanted to reconnect with Mrs. Tris. Unfortunately, this wish was not realized when my mentor died of old age. "

The goat woman introduced herself first. Her rather peculiar cross pupils observed the changes in Murphy's expression and said:

"We scholars are the vanguards sent by Abyss City. We have been monitoring Baphomet Canyon for more than a hundred years since the end of the Black Disaster. Unfortunately, the vampires of the Blood Alliance are very arrogant. They have built various fortresses at the mountain pass and do not allow We passed, it had been a long time since we had been able to step into Baphomet Canyon ourselves.

No one knows how big the nightmare cult has grown over there, but the appearance of the Blood Alliance knights is also a good thing. They block the Black Flame Pass so that the Baphomet cult can no longer lure compatriots from Abyss City to join them. "

"Oh, you are talking about the Earth Palace. My warriors and I previously carried out a battle to punish evil, and Tris also joined."

Murphy replied with a hint of regret:

"It's a pity that we stopped the Twilight Pollution Ritual, otherwise the Baphomet cult would have been completely destroyed, but that would not be a good thing, as your fallen compatriots would fall into the embrace of the more dangerous shadows of the warp.

Now they have sealed the Earth Palace and do not allow others to enter. They probably want to survive until the black disaster is over."

"No, Master Murphy!"

Julia hurriedly explained:

"That may also be because the ritual of those fallen ones calling the nightmare tyrant Baphomet has entered the final stage. Perhaps their evil god will be born in the next few years. This is really terrible news."

"It's not bad. Compared with the troubles of Black Disaster and Jackals, a nightmare tyrant that no one knows about is not a big problem."

Murphy shrugged and said:

"Anyway, in the words of my personal prophet, the Baphomet cult, which has its own territory, is the most harmless group of people in the dark mountains where demons are dancing."

"That's not the case, Lord Murphy, you don't understand the ultimate purpose of the Baphomet cult!"

The goat woman explained seriously:

"Although we have not yet obtained tangible evidence, I can tell you some of the context we have discovered. Awakening the nightmare tyrant is only the first step for those cultists. Their real goal is to enter a legendary world through the power of the nightmare tyrant. In 'World's Dream', kill the sleeping King of Curses Vidia and gain his power.

Please believe me, Governor Murphy, the King of Curses is a real astral giant spirit. He was only injured in the battle with evil outside the domain and entered a deep sleep.

One day the true God of the Goat People will awaken and lead His people. "

"?"

Murphy blinked and said suspiciously:

"But no one in the outside world knows the name of the King of Curses. He is as unknown as the nightmare tyrant Baphomet. Tris said that only the goatmen still remember the name of this god, but as the best theologian on the continent, she No one can tell whether the King of Curses really exists.

Oh, by the way, Tris also captured a "Book of Curses" from the previous battle. "

"What? The Book of Curses?"

The goat woman suddenly became excited.

She was so excited that she ignored her injured hoof. The moment she stood up, she screamed in pain and fell to the ground in an undignified posture.

But regardless of the pain, while twitching his mouth, he stood up and asked:

"Are you sure it is really the "Book of Curses"? It was one of the sacred objects left by the King of Curses in the material world. It was lost in the chaos of the fourth black disaster. It is said that there are records in that sacred object With the supreme wisdom of the King of Curses, if you are destined, you can even obtain the knowledge of the gods from it!

That was the regret my mentor had in mind before he died of old age. Can I go to Mrs. Tracey to retrieve that sacred object? "

"Well, look, yes, take it away, no!"

Murphy decisively refused:

"That thing is now the 'national treasure' of Transia, and is guarded by Tris herself. However, our Blood Vulture Clan is not unreasonable. If it is indeed the sacred object of your goatmen, we can return it.

But the premise is that you have to show your sincerity

For example, I have a stronghold in Dark Valley to fight the Black Scourge. You goatmen are famous for being good at psychic powers and curses. How about sending a team of mages to help in the battle?

If we win, the book can be returned to you.

No, no, no, it’s not to return it to Vidia Abyss City, but to the ‘Dark Roots’. As the ‘national treasure’ you have recovered, you will instantly become the heroes of all civilized goatmen!

You see, this may be a beautiful thing.

As the Goatmen organization that values ​​inheritance and history the most, don’t tell me that the mighty ‘Dark Roots’ can’t even form a group of mages?

The fact that Tris can join you shows that your organization is powerful. "

"Well, I can't make this decision independently. I have to ask the elders for their opinions."

Julia was obviously moved.

The cross pupils of this goat woman shone with a certain light called "ambition". They said that goat people have a dark nature. Judging from the performance of this goat woman, this is probably true.

"You still need to think about it. It seems that the temptation of a national treasure is nothing more than that."

Murphy snorted, rolled his eyes and said:

“If a Book of Curses isn’t enough, how about adding the destruction of the Baphomet cult?

I have a group of nosy, fearless Transian warriors under my command who are already exploring that underground chamber and slaying its goat-man thugs, and you must have something in common with them.

To be honest, for only a small amount of remuneration, the righteous warriors of Transia are willing to help the 'Dark Roots' solve the troubles in Baphomet's underground palace.

Doesn't it mean that the underground palace is also related to the origin of the Goat Man?

It is considered a holy place no matter how you look at it. After getting rid of the group of cultists who want to enclose the land, I can make the decision to give you Baphomet's underground palace to be used as a museum or something. ” ˆ ˆ “But aren’t you going to fight against the gnolls? "

The goat woman said in surprise:

"Where do you get more strength to make enemies for yourself? Although the Baphomet cult is not a powerful force, they are also very dangerous. This is not in line with your standards as a governor, right?"

"I always have to have a place to train my soldiers. I can't just throw my soldiers into the Black Disaster battlefield and let them fight against the brutal jackals from the beginning. That would simply cost them their lives."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"The combat capabilities of the Baphomet cultists are very suitable, especially those goatmen thugs on the outside. They are very good 'whetstones'. Don't ask questions, just say whether you and your organization are willing to Would you like to be a friend of the Transians?

If you are willing, take your people and come back to Shadow Valley with us.

I will send you to Transia to meet Tris, and Tris will help you handle the next thing, but if you want to get back the Book of Ten Thousand Curses, then you must have a powerful enough mage group to join Transia. war in west Asia

Well, you!

Yes, as the local leader of the Dark Roots organization, you must also join our Transcian psychic organization, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, as the representative of the Goatman of the civilized faction in Transia.

This condition is really not too harsh, goat woman cough, I mean, Julia, as a scholar you have to think more about the future of your people, right? "

Murphy's persuasion was really straightforward, but for the sake of "The Book of Curses", the goat woman did not refuse but fell into long thought.

As Murphy and his troll friends prepare to set off, she finally makes her decision.

"My followers and I need to see the "Book of Curses" with our own eyes so that we can use it as evidence to persuade the elders to send troops. The Dark Roots indeed have a fighting force composed of spellcasters, but in the fiercely competitive abyss In the city, that is our foundation for settling down."

Julia rides on the saddle of a summoned displacement beast.

In the grin of the fierce black panther-like alien creature, she said to Murphy seriously:

"The elders are quite open-minded. If the Transians can really help us fight against the Baphomet cult, I believe the elders are willing to become your friends."

"Very good, let's go then. Let's go to Shadow Valley first."

Murphy sat on the strong shoulders. When the satiated trolls got up, he said to a group of goatmen behind him:

"I will teach you the correct way to deal with my warriors on the way. You'd better learn it carefully, lest they treat you like wild monsters."

"But the Black Flame Pass will not allow us to pass. The Knights of the Blood Alliance are really strict."

Julia hesitated.

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"I am the Governor of Transia, the core figure of the Blood Vulture Clan. I have a great personal relationship with Lord Heather, and she will give me this face. Speaking of which, I heard that the inheritance of the Trickster comes from your goat. People flow out of here, so Ms. Julia, as a goatman scholar, do you know how to act like a trickster?"

"Of course, I am also a powerful spellcaster myself."

The goat woman suddenly puffed up her chest proudly and said:

"I am the first-ranked student in Abyss City's Curse Academy. It takes me thirty years to cross the third level and become a second-level scholar. You may not understand the value of this, but I must tell you that I am the entire Abyss City. One of the smartest individuals!

Maybe in more than ten years, I will be eligible to inherit my mentor's status as a councilor, of course, provided that I will not be assassinated by people from other factions. You know, some of our ancient traditions of goat people really make it happen occasionally. People have a headache. "

"Ah? So powerful?"

Murphy said in surprise:

"Then why were they harmed like this by a group of jackals? You should use magic to teach them how to behave, this powerful outstanding graduate lady."

"Ahem, that's because I am a pacifist. I am good at theory but not good at fighting."

The goat woman told the fact that she was actually a noob very tactfully.

She's not bragging either.

This guy is a solid Silver-level conjurer. Her followers are able to survive so much despite being outnumbered because of her powerful defense and auxiliary spells.

Unfortunately, she is really not very good at using spells to kill people.

"Very good, then I will appoint you as the faction mentor of the Tricksters of Transia. You can have your own mage tower in Booty Bay. I believe that Lao Huo, who has been troubled by the improvement of his strength recently, will be very willing to find one for himself. 'Tutor'.

Oh, forgot to mention.

Tris also has a "Book of Darkness and Destruction" in her hand. It is said that it is the holy book of warlocks? "

"That book was written by our ancestors. It is precisely because of its circulation that the Goatman's reputation on the mainland is as bad as that of a street rat."

Julia covered her eyes with her downy hands and sighed:

"Alas, the original birth of that book was a mistake. It was precisely because of the ideological conflict caused by that book in Abyss City that my tribe was divided, which directly led to the birth and rise of the Baphomet cult.

It is said that its original form has been personally contained by Mairedin, the previous purification master of the Ring Tower.

What a shame, that book should be destroyed!

Because our ancestors obtained the evil and dark knowledge from the subspace. "

"Knowledge has no distinction between good and evil, just like a hero uses a knife to save people and a villain uses a knife to kill."

Murphy was noncommittal.

他 说:

"But you goatmen should really review your overly enthusiastic desire to share. Next time you teach some powerful spells, it's best to test the apprentice's character in advance. Let's not talk about this, let's set off now, we are here We should be able to reach Black Flame Pass early tomorrow morning.

War is coming, cherish this last bit of leisure time. "
-

In Tris' private laboratory in the Blood Vulture Corridor, the Scarlet Witch is flipping through the "Book of Curses". As a psychic master, she can easily learn the spells in this book, but what really makes Tris What interests me is the set of "Laws" spells recorded in this book.

It is said that this is a secret inheritance that comes directly from the King of Curses.

The goat-man blasphemer had used the Law of the Forbidden Sky before, and Tris almost jumped from a high altitude and fell into an ugly monster.

"It's such exquisite knowledge. There are so many good things in the hands of the goat people. If I had known this, I should have used my identity as an 'honorary elder' to sneak into the abyss treasure house and learn more secretly."

Tris read and took notes while complaining in her heart:

"Oh, that's my dark history, especially the experience of almost being discovered by an elder when I stole something. It was simply the most embarrassing one among the numerous failures in the first half of my life. I must not let little Murphy know about it.

At that time, I blamed Luna for being too stupid.

Oh, Luna"

The Scarlet Witch thought of the guy who now called herself "Yuan". She sighed helplessly, lamenting that she was really ill-fated, and then turned the page.

The next second, Tris was surprised to find that many runes on this page of the Book of Curses were shining with strange lights.

She reached out and touched the runes.

The next moment, the world in front of her suddenly changed. It was like the application of some illusion, making Tris seem to have come to a weird space for an instant. The place was full of fog, and she could only vaguely see a huge, covered with... Goat men with various magical spells loomed ahead.

"Be careful, you are being targeted. The waves in the subspace are crying, and the incomplete shadows are longing to return to the witch who will become the Midnight Mistress. Go find him. Chaos is coming, and only he can protect you.

Alpha. Serve Him! "

"Swish"

Everything returned to its original state in the next moment. Tris was dumbfounded as the shining runes in front of her fell silent. It took a few seconds for her to realize what had happened.

A typical divine resonance!

"Vidia? The King of Ten Thousand Curses! You...you actually exist? But why do you want me to serve Murphy? Huh? Are you the legendary Yue Lao? Do you care about such noisy matters?"
