Chapter 1658: 555. The Spring of Summoners: Freshly Baked Minotaur Summoner_3
Murphy frowned and said:
“Doesn’t that an that with enough ti, energy, and a bit of luck, I could completely form a Minotaur army in the material world? After all, they’re temporarily summoned and don’t take contract space.”
“Well, theoretically, yes. But summoning entities into the material world is very difficult, and you run the risk of being killed by Hell bulls. The cost-effectiveness is too low unless you can find a natural planar rift.”
Winnie shook her head and said:
“Currently, the barriers between the material world and other planes are very stable, so don’t even think about it.”
“Hey, are you two done with your little summoner knowledge class? I can’t understand why two professional summoners would be so interested in such ordinary common sense?”
Lady Triss, holding the Nocturne Wand, turned her head and shouted:
“The Bullheaded Monster has stopped moving!
It seems to have sensed danger ahead. Winnie, have your summoned creature take us over, clear the danger, and then continue forward.
Hog, can you sense the position of the slate?”
“It tells it’s just below us, very close now.”
Hog, holding a torch cautiously, pointed to his head and replied:
“It says it can hear the Civilization Slate wailing, urging us to hurry because so evil force is defiling our Wolf People’s Civilization Slate.”
Triss nodded, didn’t ask more.
The ‘it’ in Hog’s words obviously refers to the unique spirit of the King of Bone Biting.
It turns out that Murphy’s baseless suspicion was correct. After entering Baphot’s Palace, the King of Bone Biting, who had “bonded” with Hog, beca active and could even communicate in “secret whispers” with Hog without dreaming.
As the forr spokesman for the Wolf People civilization, the King of Bone Biting could clearly feel the specific location of the Civilization Slate, which saved the slate expedition team a lot of trouble.
With a general direction, plus Winnie’s Minotaurus, who never gets lost in mazes, leading the way, they approached their destination in just two hours. However, this process made Palano, who was ard with a knight gun and a heavy shield, look grim.
The Rose Knight said softly:
“I thought those filthy Goat n would take the slate to the lower levels, but our destination is only on the middle layer of the Earth Palace! It seems the Twilight forces are also wary of provoking the Baphot Cult entrenched in the lower levels.
For the Twilight to treat sothing so cautiously, it shows that the once overlooked and unknown Baphot Cult has developed to a terribly powerful level.
Although these Goat n who worship the Evil God don’t wreak havoc in the outside world, their efforts to awaken an ancient evil god are always a hidden threat!
If we can pass through this Black Disaster safely, I suspect Lord Paryen might initiate a major purge against the Baphot Cult.
We can’t drag this out any longer.
Once those heretics start controlling the entire Underground Palace, this ancient ruin will beco a terrible cancer near the Dark Mountain Range in an instant.”
“Oh, co on, Palano, there are plenty of terrifying things that can appear in this land. The Baphot Cult is just the least harmful among them.”
Lady Triss dismissed with a wave:
“Though it’s rare for evil gods to walk the world, it doesn’t an there aren’t any. I know there’s a weak evil god hidden in the city of the Half-body Man, and I don’t buy that the Lord doesn’t know—it seems he just doesn’t care.
Besides, the Dark Mountain Range is so vast, and we’ve lacked knowledge about it over the past millennium. Compared to the hidden dangers there, the polluted Baphot Earth Palace is practically a playground.
I see no need for Lord Paryen to act in person; leave this Underground Palace to us! Anyway, after the Dark Valley belongs to Transylvania, little Mo Fei’s border will extend to the Wasteland Mountain range, and the entire Polluted Swamp and Baphot Canyon will beco our territory.
As Governor, this is also one of the issues little Mo Fei needs to solve.”
“Oh! It’s so twisted how you two get along, Triss.”
Palano’s eyes widened at these words, exclaiming:
“I’ve often seen beautiful people solving problems for their lovers with wisdom, but this is the first ti I’ve seen a goddess actively bringing trouble to her lover. Are you sure you haven’t had too much to drink?
Given the pressure Governor Morphy is under, I don’t think taking on the trouble of this Underground Palace is a good idea.”
“That’s where you don’t understand.”
The Grand Duke of Triss snorted, shrugged, and said:
“My little Mo Fei can’t wait to have another ‘permanent leveling zone’; it’s a feature of his design, and he won’t just let you go and destroy it. Ah, we’re almost there! Get ready to fight!”
Triss waved her left hand, and as the Nocturne Wand spun, she cast two or three protective spells on the group. The Minotaurus leading them had already bypassed complex and intricate forks, pinpointing the path to the Civilization Slate’s hiding place without any hints.
After passing through an unremarkable stone gate, an uncanny hollow area appeared before them.
It was like a “suspended tower” hidden beneath the Earth Palace.
In the center of a cliff hundreds of ters deep stood a huge stone pillar, with a church-like building atop it. A heavily weathered hanging stone bridge was the only road connecting the stone pillar church to the main body of the Earth Palace.
The church door was tightly shut.
But Hog, wrestling with his mind, intermittently said in a tornted pose:
“It…it’s there! Oh my God, shut up! Stop howling! I know what to do…shut up! Don’t steal my sanity! I am not your dog!”
Blood Claw Chief was evidently struggling for control over his sanity with the King of Bone Biting, prompting Lady Triss to shake her head. She crouched, placing her hand on Hog’s shoulder, and softly said:
“Don’t resist, let it co out! Hog, I need to talk to it. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, it won’t control you.”
“Ow.”
Hog trusted the Grand Duke of Triss. He nodded with difficulty, took a deep breath, and fully relaxed his inner resistance. In the next second, amidst his body’s convulsions, another consciousness erged within Hog’s mind.
“Hog” rolled his eyes and looked at the Vampire Duke before him, then burst into a strange, piercing laugh, filled with arrogance and ferocity, and a brazen defiance that was almost indescribable with an air of “generalship.”
It raised its claw, pointing towards the stone church ahead, and said:
“The Civilization Slate is right there! You sly ones trying to control ek Hog to avert the Black Disaster, what a good idea! But it’s a bit lousy.
Go take it.
Though I disdain your cunning, it doesn’t an we can’t cooperate.
Get it!
Then I’ll tell you how to make Hog the civilization’s spokesperson. Representing ‘strength,’ I have failed, so perhaps it’s ti to let ‘wisdom’ try to save the Wolf People.”
“Murphy gave it a na!”
Triss said sternly:
“Its nickna is ‘Wise Wolf,’ and it will never beco the King of Bone Biting again. There will be no King of Bone Biting among the Wolf People again, and I suggest you better behave, Felix.
You’re already dead!
You think you fear nothing, but I have ways to make you die again! You pathetic…security guard!”
“Damn!”
The ntion of this “title” made the defiant King of Bone Biting curse angrily, realizing that his “true identity” had been discovered by these Blood Vulture Vampires.
“My gracious little Murphy wants to have a chat with you; he believes there’s still a chance to improve our relations.”
Triss “kindly” reminded:
“You’re sothing of a Follower of the Creator, and my Murphy is now the new curator of the exhibition area—you two are tentatively colleagues, so there’s nothing that can’t be discussed, right? Shall I book an appointnt for you? Your Majesty.”
“Hmph, grab the slate first.”
The King of Bone Biting spoke in Hog’s voice, low and grumbling:
“I don’t want to bow down, but alas, my ti is truly running out. Please…settle this quickly! Believe , Crimson Witch, absorbed in playing love gas with your offspring yet sadly trapped with no power to escape, this matter is crucial for us both!”
