Chapter 227 226. Easter egg! This must be the official Easter egg, right? [Seeking monthly votes 110]

Gnoll Nash Uh, no, it didn’t take as long for Gnoll Hogg to make a decision as he imagined.

On the one hand, it may be because even if the Gnoll has opened his wisdom, it is difficult for him to think deeply and complexly without formal education. After all, having talent and being able to use it well are two different things.

On the other hand, this Gnoll didn’t know whether the vampire had released any "evil spell" on him.

After it was put into the cage, its mind was abnormally active, like a brainstorming feeling. The bad state that it couldn’t even stop thinking seemed to be something in its heart that was "ignited".

Murphy’s words kept echoing in its mind, like a pair of invisible hands teasing the thoughts of this thin but cunning Gnoll.

It could clearly feel that its mind was abnormally excited, and it had even begun to fight against its remaining sanity.

It was like a voice was roaring, making it constantly think about what it would get if it obeyed and accepted the "invitation".

Become a civilized person?

Become a recognized part of this land?

No!

These are not very tempting to the gnolls.

Just as people cannot imagine colors they have never seen, gnolls cannot imagine a life they have never experienced, but those more realistic things are placed in front of them, as if they are within reach.

Smugglers' Woodland!

Of course it knows!

The small clan before Hogg was not far from there. It knew that the forest was very busy before the damn human war began, and smugglers transported goods through there every week.

A larger clan called "Tear Claw" occupied there. Their people did not even need to go out hunting or steal human food. They only needed to guard the intersection, and there would be caravans who did not want to cause trouble to give them a steady supply of food.

The Claw Clan also prospered because of this.

Unfortunately, the forest was abandoned after the war began, and the Claws could no longer get free meat, but their people had been trained to be "lazy".

They clumsily began to pick up the traditions of the Gnolls, but it was too late. The jealous clans around them rushed in, and overnight, the Claws became history.

Well, my second spouse was a member of the Claws clan. The female Gnoll with smooth mane often described the "good days" to me.

I was also willing to listen to her stories, and I learned Transian from her.

Because the Claws clan had to communicate with human caravans, the smart guys among them could always speak a few fluent daily words.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. She couldn't escape in the previous battle when Kenport occupied her clan, and her head was smashed by a fierce barbarian.

Hogg couldn't help thinking.

If he could regain his clan, if he could become the master of the smugglers' woodland, if the vampire lord could fulfill his promise, could he live a good life without hunting to eat?

It didn't understand why humans killed each other.

It once took its people to the battlefield on the border of Transia at night to pick up "meat" to eat. It had seen how those humans fought, and the way they killed their own people made the jackals feel terrified.

But now the human war is over, so the woodland will prosper as before.

Ah, this sounds like the beginning of a good day.

Hogg is a cunning guy.

It is also one of the few leaders who can survive after the warlord Kenport took away the clan. It certainly knows that obeying vampires is risky. Once the tribe knows that it has become a traitor, it will become meat in the pot of those hungry guys.

It should be more rational.

But the mood tonight is very strange.

It wanted to think carefully, but it couldn't. It wanted to calm down, but it couldn't. It wanted to think about the gains and losses, but it couldn't.

There was a fire burning in its heart, burning it tossing and turning and unable to calm down.

The gnoll who had never learned knowledge and could be called "smart half a zhang yu" didn't know that the name of that thing was "desire".

It just knew that it longed for the beautiful days it imagined.

It wanted that fantasy to come true.

And the voice in its heart told it that it was impossible for it to live such a life under Kenport. The barbaric leader didn't trust itself at all. Coming from the Dark Mountains, it looked down on the local gnolls in Transia and scolded them as "bastards".

Maybe

I should consider the advice of the bad vampire again?

And even if I didn't agree, what would I get? A death? A death that no one knew about, and that wouldn't be turned into a rude story by the tribesmen and told everywhere?

Ah, and Bonegnaw

Every Gnoll has heard the story of the "Bonegnaw King" from their parents, and of course in the stories of the Gnolls, the Bonegnaw King is always very powerful!

It is the super brute born by the Gnoll God!

It can crush the heads of the mightiest human cavalry with its flail, then eat them and their horses together! It can crush the craziest dwarfs to death, dig out their hearts and roast them! It can even defeat the legendary elves, break the legs of those sissies, and leave them on the rocks to cry to death!

The bone-gnawing king is invincible!

Even though one hundred and ten years have passed since the Fourth Black Disaster, the local gnolls of Transia still firmly believe that the Bone-gnawing King is not dead!

It just hurt!

Like an ordinary jackal, it just found a place to hide and recuperate from its injuries. When its bones grow well and its power returns again, the Bone-Gnawing King will reappear!

As before, it will lead the jackals across the world, burning down all the cities in front of them, eating up all the food they see, and making every cub full of food.

Can he really call himself the grandson of the "King of Bone Grinders"?

What if the Bone-Gripping King suddenly appears?

It will definitely not recognize itself!

After all, he was so skinny and small that he couldn't even defeat the weakest barbarian soldiers under Ken Porter's command. How could the powerful bone-gnawing king give birth to such a weak grandson? A fake like him will be beaten to death by the Bone-Gripping King.

But Smuggler's Glade.

Ah, I want it so much!

To regain a clan, mates, cubs, and endless amounts of meat.

Hogg tossed and turned in his cage. He was very tired, but he couldn't sleep. Tonight was a difficult night for the gnoll, and it was rare that it wasn't because of hunger.

Xiao Ashina, who was outside the cage, had been observing the strange and skinny little jackal in the cage.

Although he does not have much social experience, Xiao Ashina is sure that this jackal has been persuaded by Lord Murphy, and it may be thinking about whether to accept Lord Murphy's invitation.

It doesn't even realize the danger.

But Xiao Weiming was born in a world with a history of five thousand years. She could think of no less than ten similar historical stories in the blink of an eye, and the common denominator of those stories was to teach Xiao Weiming how to deal with such a situation. , you must maintain your original intention.

Hello!

Hogg, there is an abyss in front of you!

Don't jump, you'll end up worse than dead!

Xiao Ashina sighed.

She watched Lord Murphy's conspiracy, and now she lost interest in going hunting.

She sat in the dark, connected to the team's communication, and said:

"You will never imagine what I just saw. The NPCs in this game are so scary, Lord Murphy is so scary. I think if we are too careful, there is a high probability that we will not be able to defeat him."

"ah?"

Lumina, who was currently searching for the next jackal lair in the dark with Orchid and Lady Water, couldn't help but ask:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me."

Xiao Ashina told her teammates what she had just seen and heard. After she finished speaking, the other three fell silent.

"Real World" boasts that every NPC in the game is an AI in-depth role-playing. The test team proudly claimed that they are smarter than real people, and Xiao Weiming's experience seems to confirm all this.

Not only is Lord Murphy, the main NPC, cunning enough, but even a captured jackal prisoner will toss and turn because of thinking.

"Convince it!"

Orchid quickly made up her mind and replied to Xiao Ashina with the courage that a traveler and explorer should have:

"This is obviously a hidden mission! There may be a separate plot line. You help Mr. Murphy convince the jackal who was named 'Hoggy Bones'. Maybe we can receive this hidden mission.

Based on the current main line, I estimate that the income from completing this quest line will be absolutely amazing, and it may be directly related to the "mysterious expansion pack" that has not been released much information.

I am somewhat sure now that the expansion pack must be related to the ‘Black Disaster’! "

"Oh, let me try."

Xiao Ashina disconnected the communication.

She gathered her thoughts in the darkness, and then knocked on the cage. The jackal sat up and stared at her with shining green eyes in the darkness.

To be honest, it's a bit eye-catching.

"It's not here yet! It's not dawn yet, you can't kill me!"

It screamed.

"Don't be stupid, I don't want to kill you."

Xiao Ashina stood by the cage and asked:

"Why don't you agree to Lord Murphy? You have to know that Lord Murphy is a very powerful lord. If you don't agree, he will anger him. He will tie you to a cross and burn you to death! Have you ever seen vampires burn their own people? scene?"

"I don't know."

Hogg was squatting in the cage. The thin guy said uneasily:

"I'm afraid the Bone-Gripping King will beat me to death."

"ah?"

Xiao Ashina never expected this answer in all the plans she made. She wanted to tell the jackal in front of her that your bone-gnawing king died more than a hundred years ago, and you don't need to worry about anyone coming back to life. A ghost who can't do that.

But when the words came to his lips, the 155-year-old man suddenly rolled his eyes.

She snorted and said:

"Indeed! If the King of Bone Grinders sees that his grandson is so cowardly and indecisive, he will definitely beat you to death with his own hands and think that you are a shameful guy."

"ah?"

Hogg shook his body and then asked:

"'Cowardly', I know, is not a good word. Humans always call our kobold servants cowardly idiots. I also think kobolds are very timid. There are so many of them, but they are like a group of frightened rabbits. They need Gnolls can become brave only if they lead them.

But what does ‘indecisive’ mean? "

"Is this what you should be concerned about now? You idiot!"

Xiaowei Ming laughed angrily.

She knocked on the cage and said:

"You have to dare to fight to win! I know this is very risky, and you might be eaten by your tribe, but think about it on the bright side, it is precisely because the risk is high that the benefits are great. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Haven't you heard what I said?

Let me tell you, Lord Murphy’s will is to wipe out all the jackals in Transia, and we will definitely do it!

Every Gnoll we encounter will be mercilessly killed by us.

Unless you can gather your compatriots together before we kill you all, then you will become Lord Murphy's servants and can walk sideways in Transia. As long as you obey, no one will harm you. you.

look.

Your people were going to die, but because you bravely stood up to lead and protect them, they don't have to die now and can still live a good life.

They should thank you!

You will become the only jackal boss in all of Transia!

All jackals and kobolds will listen to you. If the Bone-Gnasher King appears at that time and sees that you have become a powerful leader, maybe it will show mercy.

After all, it is the king of all jackals!

You are its grandson!

You must at least become the Gnoll King of Transia to be worthy of this bloodline, right?

You can't be afraid!

It's because you know that you are not worthy of the bloodline of the Bone-Gripping King, so you have to work harder and strive harder to make the Bone-Gripping King satisfied with you and agree to you using its name, right?

So what are you still hesitating about? "

Xiao Weiming urged:

"Hurry up and pledge your allegiance to Lord Murphy! There will be no store like this after passing this village."

"But. But King Kenbot, the Bone-gnawing clan, and my original tribe. They all know that I am not."

"Hey, small question, can't we just kill them all? When you become the king of the jackals, and you say you are the grandson of Bone-Gnawer, then you are! No one dares to deny your words anymore, even the King of Bone-Gripping Won't deny it.

You know you can't do it, that's okay, we'll help you!

Lord Murphy will also help you. Isn't this what loyalty means?

Use loyalty in exchange for something you need, so think carefully, what do you need most now? "

"Uh, something to eat? I'm so hungry."

"No! Idiot! What you need most now is to save your head! What time has it been! Are you still thinking about eating? Your life is almost gone!"

——

"Very good. You made the decision faster than I thought. This fully proves that you are a smart person."

Murphy looked with satisfaction at the thin jackal kneeling in front of his desk and the proud little Ashena standing next to him. A smile appeared on the vampire lord's lips.

He took out a calculation orb from his psychic bag, threw it to Hogg, and said:

"Someone will teach you how to use this thing in a while. Don't worry, Hogg, I will arrange everything for you. Just follow my instructions and everything you want will come true.

As for you, my warrior Ashina, fate has pushed you and your companions into this whirlpool, and you seem to be ready, so I want to give you and your companions a heavy responsibility. "

"Ding"

A new task prompt pops up on Xiao Weiming’s character interface:

"Go ahead and use your wisdom and courage. I will look forward to your victory."

Murphy waved his hand in a rather formulaic manner.

Xiao Ashina pulled Hogg, who was still a little confused but had become a "neutral target", and left the office. Outside the door, the little man from 155 put his hands on his hips and said to Hogg:

"Very good, from today on, I am your dog-headed military advisor, Lord Chief. Let's go have a meal first, and then I'll get you a set of clothes. You look so undignified now."

"Ah? But you are not a dog-headed man! Dog-headed men are almost as tall as you, but they are not as smart as you."

"'Dog-headed military advisor' is just an adjective, okay? You stupid husband-in-law is a gnoll, and you listen to me, if you make fun of my height again, I will kill you!"
