Chapter 1676: 561. Laozi can’t be a spokesperson, but can’t he be a candidate? – Extra update [3/30]
(For “Huo Zheng Hao” brother, an extra update [3/20])
“I will escort Lord Wise Wolf to Shadow Valley, and from today until the end of the Black Disaster, I will be Hog’s personal bodyguard.”
At the entrance of the Swamp Forbidden Area, the fully armed Rose Knight Palano said goodbye to Murphy and Triss:
“After it completes its meeting with the Tear Flesh, I will also take it to see Lord Paryen, and it must first satisfy the lord, who has other arrangements for Wise Wolf. It is foreseeable that the lord will require Wise Wolf to meet with several leaders of the civilization camp to seek their support.
This process may take some time.
But I promise that when the Black Disaster starts, Hog and I will be back on your ground, and I also represent the Blood Covenant Clan to promise you once again!
As long as the Blood Covenant Clan exists, Transylvania will never fall.”
“I believe in your promise, Palano, you crazy knight yourself are a symbol of an oath, and I also promise you that the Blood Vulture Clan led by me will devote everything to the lord’s great plan.”
Triss spoke formal words on behalf of the Blood Vulture to Palano, while Murphy carried a box and walked to Hog’s side.
At this moment of temporary separation, he placed the box in front of Hog, unlocked it with a fingerprint lock, and pointed to a set of black inner armor inside, saying:
“You will travel far, Hog. I personally gift you a set of protective gear from the Golden Age, which can protect you in moments of danger. This is also my guilt, as I pushed you to the position you are in now, and imposed a duty on you that you shouldn’t bear.
Although it seemed I gave you a choice, it was actually just a trick.”
“But you indeed gave me an opportunity to attain greatness, even immortality, Master Murphy.”
Hog shook his head, revealing the same sly grin as before.
Without hesitation, it opened the box, put on the small-sized traveler’s gear, quickly read the instruction manual without any obstacles, and then fit the armor plates into the correct positions, wagging its tail as it said:
“Who could have imagined that the skinny little fellow who almost got thrown into a pot would make a meteoric rise? I guess it’s destiny at play. Perhaps my pathetic fate had already shifted when dear Little Wei Ming brought me before you.
But I’m not surprised, for you are such a magical and inexplicable man…”
At this point, Hog looked around cautiously and said in a low voice:
“I also saw some other things when binding the Civilization Slate, Master Murphy. Regarding the Alpha Plan, you might not know, but a series of Golden Age biological plans, including the Wolf People, were all in service of the Alpha Plan.
That plan wasn’t set by the Creator’s servants in Eden District, but it was a plan personally devised by the creator.
You!
You are the creator’s ‘divine chosen’!
I didn’t see too many details, but I think you should look for those lost creation sites scattered around the world, as the power and secrets of those places are the legacy left to you by the creator, and only you have the right to inherit them.”
“That’s all well and good, but during the transition between the Golden Age and this era, who knows what happened. The power and knowledge that should have been mine were taken by others prematurely.”
Murphy sighed and said:
“Even if I assume the stance of Alpha, they won’t willingly hand them over in the end, and it will ultimately come down to war…”
“But perhaps that’s exactly what the creator wishes for you to do.”
Hog whispered:
“After witnessing the grandeur of the Golden Age with my own eyes, even a humble Wolf Person like me realized that the era we are in is very abnormal. As the creator’s divine chosen, aren’t you supposed to correct it by hand?
The lunatics of Dusk who have stolen the great legacy only think of world extinction, and hence, the corresponding salvation is something only you can achieve, and even a humble servant like me can share your glory.
You don’t need to worry about any dislike I might have for this curse of immortality.
Not at all!
Just as the King of Bone Biting calls you ‘chief,’ my master, we Wolf People were born to serve the creator’s great cause, so as a representative of the Wolf People, offering you allegiance is only natural!
You are originally our master, and now I am merely returning to my rightful place. No matter what you plan to do in the future, as long as I can pull the Wolf People back from their downfall, we will undoubtedly be your most loyal servants!
Even though it was Lord Paryen’s secret support, please believe that I will only be loyal to you personally!”
This guy…
Murphy couldn’t help but glance at Hog.
He could fully hear the hidden meaning in Hog’s words. Clearly, Hog, who had evolved intellectually, could understand the situation Murphy was facing. It was hinting that Murphy would inevitably conflict with other vampire clans in the future, and only the Wolf People would be reliant then.
Damn!
The ‘Wise Wolf’ he had shaped was indeed quite formidable.
“That’s something for the future; we must focus on the present.”
Murphy waved his hand, not discussing this further, as he taught Hog how to operate the intelligent shuttle accompanying the traveler armor and also handed Hog a pair of heat melt claws suited to the Wolf People’s combat style, reminding:
“When selecting your ‘Godslayer Warriors,’ do not exceed 40 people; Lord Paryen will definitely assign formidable characters to you, but you should understand that those guys are unreliable in critical moments.
