Chapter 595 594. The good wife Tris always knows how to make the little man in the family happy

While Murphy returned to Transia to talk to the Scarlet Archon whom he relied on, the goatman 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.

When she chose to become the elder of the "Dark Roots" in Vidia Abyss City, she did not do it 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.

For example, the dark robe of the Lord of Curses and the legendary Staff of All Magics.

As a result, not only did the items not be stolen, but I was almost stopped and beaten by the Goatmen elders. If I hadn't been lucky and had good friends 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 Goat Man from back then.

They all took the initiative to come to the door.

Alas, how do you say that sentence?

The past can never disappear. The past has been shaping the present and will definitely 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, and 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 mentor 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 strange black claws. The prototype must have been huge. After being tempered by the Goat Man's secret method, it was reduced in size and maintained its original power. It was made into a pair of powerful claw gloves that could be used by assassins.

The delicate incantations flashing on this thing looked like something extraordinary at first glance, but Tris was well-informed, and what she really cared about was the material of this combat claw.

"I have never seen the claws of a beast like it in the Dark Mountains."

Tris observed these sharp claws and said in surprise:

"This looks like the front claw of some kind of lizard? Where did you find this material? Is this some kind of monster you killed?"

"That's not the case, Elder Tris."

The old goatman Finley is Julia's mentor's assistant. He has met Tris before. This can barely 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, twirling his goatee, he 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 giant beast, brutal and powerful, crazy and terrifying, our patrols brought various materials about the beast 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, perhaps migrating from other places. The sharp 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.

Let me 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 increasing.

They seem to be preparing to turn our mountains into lairs.

The prophets of Abyss City predicted a river of blood, so we are already preparing to move, moving our city from a dangerous area 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 appearance of those mysterious behemoths, the split in Abyss City would have happened sooner or later. The Baphomet cult is just one of the products of this racial infighting, and it is not even the most dangerous split in the history of the Goatmen."

"Well, it sounds like the goats today are no different from the ones I saw back then."

Tris nodded.

She knew that this was Old Finley telling her tactfully about the current dire situation in Abyss City, 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 that these guys are inherently evil, but they are certainly not good people.

Goats 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 fend off enemies and at the same time impose dark conspiracies on their own people.

On the 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".

One day, a faction with thousands of people fell apart due to 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 the 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 that 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 spells is so profound that I am amazed would die suddenly.

Disease!

You goatmen are also immortals, and 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:

"I can only tell you that it was a battle of ideas! Elder Moran told me before leaving that night that if she could not return, I 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 took Julia and other members of the Dark Roots away, I unexpectedly heard a piece of gossip. There were rumors that Samok, the current city lord of Abyss City, had an affair with some mysterious people in order to prevent the species from splitting again.

Outsiders established a covenant.

Perhaps the death of Master Moran is related to this matter."

"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

Able to lead the Goatmen to rise.

In the inheritance of Abyss City, we are conservatives among conservatives, perhaps it is because of our mentor’s stubbornness that 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 had not planned to cause trouble, she now had to intervene in this matter.

The companions and disciples of my old friend have already come to me for help. As an honorary elder, if I can't provide them with protection, I would be a little ashamed of the "important help" that Moran gave me back then.

She almost got caught when she went to steal something from the Goatman's treasure house, but it was Moran who risked being discovered and executed to cover her escape from Abyss City. This was a life-saving grace.

"So, how many elders are there in Dark Roots now?"

Tris asked.

Old Finley's eyes lit up and he immediately replied:

"Counting you, there are three more, but the other two are very unstable. They are afraid of the city lord but cannot be as firm as Master Moran. Julia wants to return to Abyss City to inherit her seat. The biggest difficulty lies in these two

On the elders."

Julia is obviously smarter.

She observed Tris's expression with her unique cross eyes, trying to figure out what Tris was thinking, and then suddenly thought of some "news" that her mentor had revealed to her after she was drunk.

In Tris's silence, Julia decided to take a gamble. The bold and young goat scholar whispered:

"After you left, our organization developed and expanded in Abyss City. The mentor was one of the guardians of the Abyss Treasure House before she left. Her relics contain the key. Although it cannot open all the spell treasure houses,

But if you can help me regain control of the dark roots, then I am willing to give you the key as a reward."

"Julia!"

Old Finley tapped his cane on the ground in dissatisfaction, and scolded:

"You are not qualified to make such a deal with Elder Tris! She is your elder. You must serve Elder Tris as you serve your mentor. The key left by Moran should have been given by her closest friend in this life.

inherit.

That's not your private property.

Do you think Elder Tris will change her will just because of some petty gains?
