594.The good wife Tris always knows how to make the little man in the family happy (page 1/2)
While Murphy returned to Transia to talk to the Scarlet Archon whom he relied on, the goat man scholar Julia and the old man Finley who returned with Murphy went to visit the nominal master of the Blood Vulture Clan..
That is, Mrs. Tracey, the honorary elder of the "Dark Roots" organization.
Frankly speaking, Tris is not willing to receive these goat people from afar, mainly because her family knows her own affairs..
She didn't choose to be the elder of the "Dark Roots" in Vidia Abyss City for any reason at all. Her purpose at the time was really clear, which was to use this identity to steal some good things from the Goatman's treasure house. Just stuff.
Such as the dark robe of the Lord of Curses and the legendary staff of all spells.
As a result, not only was the item not stolen, but I was almost stopped and beaten by the goatmen elders. If I hadn't been lucky and had a good friend secretly assisting me, the Scarlet Witch, who was so famous back then, would have been wanted as a wanted criminal again..
Just saying this is embarrassing enough.
The shameless Tris has always regarded this as her "black history" and tried every means to hide it before it was too late. As a result, not only the young man in the family already knows all this, but also the "old friends" of the Goatman from back then. They all took the initiative to come to our door..
Oh, how do you say that sentence?？
The past can never disappear. The past has been shaping the present and will shape the future. What a bad luck.！
But these goatmen are the "guests" brought back by Murphy, and little Murphy has high hopes for them. Due to emotions and reasons, Tris can't pretend they haven't seen them..
Alas, now I can only take one step at a time..
In the reception room of the Blood Eagle Corridor, the stern-faced Tris heard the knock on the door and let the guests in with a grunt..
Julia, who was wearing the traditional dark robes of the goatmen, and the old goatman Finley entered the door. These two guys were really polite. As soon as they entered the door, they respectfully saluted the "elder" Tris in front of them with disciple etiquette..
Tris and Julia's mentors were peers, so she accepted this courtesy calmly, and then saw the old goatman Finley, whom she had met several times in the past, give him a precious gift..
They were a pair of peculiar black claws. The prototype must have been huge. After being tempered by the Goatman's secret method, it shrunk and maintained its original power. It was made into a pair of powerful claw gloves that could be used by assassins..
The delicate spells flashing on this thing are definitely extraordinary at first glance, but Tris is well-informed, and what she really cares about is the material of this combat claw..
“I've never seen beast claws like it in the Dark Mountains.”
Tris observed these sharp claws and said in surprise：
“Does this look like the front paw of some kind of lizard? Where did you find this ingredient? Is this some kind of monster you killed?？”
“Not so, Elder Tris.”
The old goatman Finley is Julia's mentor's assistant. He has met Tris before. This can be regarded as a "reunion of old friends". After the vampire attendant served him hot tea, the old guy sat next to Tris. Sitting on the chair, he twirled his goatee and replied with great respect.：
“The material of these claw blades comes from a routine inspection conducted by the rangers of Abyss City a few years ago. In the mountains where Abyss City is located, they found the remains of a giant beast. That is something we have never seen before. A strange behemoth, cruel and powerful, crazy and terrifying. Our patrols brought various materials about the behemoth back to Abyss City, which caused a sensation at that time..
Scholars believe that it is a giant beast that has never appeared in the Dark Mountains. It may have migrated from other places. The claw in your hand is one of the most precious trophies in that harvest..
Unfortunately, that lucky inspection seemed more like the beginning of a disaster.
In the second year, similar giant beasts frequently appeared in the mountains of Abyss City, and many of our brave hunters and spellcasters died in their hands..
To tell you the truth, Elder Tris.
After you left us, Abyss City has maintained a fragile peace for so many years, but the appearance of those giant beasts seems to symbolize some kind of uneasiness. The top management of Abyss City cannot solve the problem, and the number of giant beasts is getting bigger and bigger. There are so many, as if they are preparing to turn our mountains into nests.
The prophets of Abyss City predicted a river of blood, so we are already preparing to move, to move our city from the dangerous zone to a safe place further east of Mirror Lake..
But each faction has its own destination, and no one can convince anyone else, which has intensified our internal strife..
However, even without the emergence of those mysterious behemoths, the split in Abyss City would be a matter of time. The Baphomet Cult is just one of the products of this racial infighting. It is not even the most dangerous split in the history of the Goatmen..”
“Alas, it sounds like the goat men of today are no different from the ones I met back then..”
Tris nodded..
She knew that this was Old Finley telling her the dire situation in Abyss City in a tactful way, but Tris was not surprised by this..
In mainland legends, the Goat Man represents evil and darkness. This legend is not based on bad racial discrimination, but is spread based on the Goat Man's character traits..
It would be an exaggeration to say these guys are inherently evil, but they are certainly not good people..
Goatmen are the kind of bad guys who have maxed out their internal fighting skills. Precisely because they are the smartest race in the Dark Mountains, they can use the power of wisdom to defend their enemies and at the same time impose dark conspiracies on their own people. body.
Tris's eyes were opened when she "traveled" in Abyss City. She had witnessed more than seven conspiracies being imposed on the same faction in three days. It was when Tris became the honorary elder of "Dark Roots". In one day, a faction with thousands of people fell apart in different conspiracies..
Similar things happen almost every month in Abyss City, and the goat people have long been accustomed to this..
“This is Julia, Elder Tris. She is the most outstanding disciple of your friend Moran. In the future, she will inherit Moran’s position as a councilor in Abyss City and become the leader of Dark Roots..”
Old Finley leaned on his cane decorated with goat heads and introduced Julia to Tris with a smile. However, Tris was careful about her identity and did not talk to Julia immediately. Instead, she asked the old goat man：
“Finley, I heard something happened to my good friend Moran? But did she really die of illness? I don't believe that a psychic master whose research on magic is so profound that I am amazed would die of a sudden illness.！
You goat people are also immortals. A 'health master' like Moran can easily live for eight hundred years..”
Tris said in a deep voice：
“So, my friend Moran was killed, right?？”
Old Finley sighed and whispered：
“All I can tell you is that it’s a battle of ideas! Elder Moran told me before she left that night that if she could not return, she would immediately take her apprentices and leave Abyss City..
To be honest, even though I am Master Moran’s companion, I cannot know all her thoughts and secrets..
However, when I left with Julia and other members of the Dark Roots, I unexpectedly heard a piece of gossip. There were rumors that Samok, the current lord of Abyss City, had an affair with some mysterious people in order to prevent the species from splitting again. outsiders made a covenant.
Perhaps Master Moran's death is related to this incident.”
“Those outsiders are evil！”
Julia, who had been silent, raised her head at this moment and said：
“Although my mentor never let me get involved in the politics of Abyss City, I once saw her arguing with some council members with an angry face. You know, my mentor has always believed in the existence of the King of Curses, and believed that only Vidia could Lead the Goatmen to Rise.
In the inheritance of Abyss City, we are conservatives among conservatives. Perhaps it is because our mentor’s stubbornness offended the narrow-minded city lord..”
“well”
Although Tris regards her activities in Abyss City as "black history," she has no ill feelings toward Master Moran who accepted her into the Dark Roots organization..
In fact, Moran is indeed one of the people Tris admires in terms of psychic knowledge. Although the relationship between the two is not as close as best friends, they can definitely be regarded as good friends..
After hearing about Moran's experience and the dire situation in which her disciples were now "exiled", even though she didn't intend to cause trouble, she now had to intervene in this matter..
