Chapter 2875: Chapter 959: Wise Wolf and the Empire: Struggle of the Successors

"Achoo!"

A violent sneeze erupted from Hog’s mouth, causing it to twitch slightly in its wooden wheelchair.

It likely triggered its wounds, making it grimace.

This scene somewhat surprised His Highness Prince Hu Fu walking beside Hog. Clearly, the Civilization Museum of the Jackalman, where they currently were, had a perfect temperature control, and such a cold situation should not have occurred.

"It’s nothing, don’t mind it, I just suddenly felt a chill, almost like something strange is happening. I vaguely heard a howl mixed with pain and peculiar joy... Hmm, perhaps I misheard."

Hog explained in a sentence.

It used its own claws to move its wheelchair, and politely declined the Crown Prince’s offer to help.

While the visiting Prince Hu Fu observed him, Hog was actually also sizing up Prince Hu Fu. Regarding the Sanghai people with their peculiar blue skin and small fangs, Hog remained indifferent; compared to the Wolf People, at least the Sanghai people still resembled humans.

What it truly paid attention to was the prince’s character and the hidden depths in his words.

Hu Fu had arrived at the Civilization Museum via the Swamp Forbidden Area’s teleportation panel just a day ago. Over the past few hours, this Crown Prince of Sanghai had toured the entire land of creation and watched several films depicting the glorious figures of the Wolf People’s ancestors.

Hog had intentionally set aside time for Prince Hu Fu to think and validate the Wolf People’s status in the creator’s system.

At present, both of them understood it was time to lay cards on the table and discuss truly significant matters.

"Would you like to start now, or shall we first have a meal together?"

Hog said in a gentle tone:

"Of course, you may have to endure the poor food supply in Broken Tooth Territory. Even within the Dark Mountain Range, this place is a backwater. The people of Broken Tooth Clan are famed for their resilience and endurance, even though it’s not their chosen lifestyle."

"No need, let’s start the talk now. Your time is precious, and I need to hurry back to maintain the still-repairing Origin Pioneer."

Prince Hu Fu waved his hand.

His Guard Captain Sonnik immediately withdrew a certain distance, leaving room for the two prominent figures to converse, while Hog’s guard Boboke performed the same action.

However, the combative Boboke, after retreating, gazed provocatively at the Sanghai people across the way.

Even though already loyal dogs under the creator, the Wolf People’s savage belligerence had become habitual, not something that could be changed quickly. Besides, even if everyone was a dog under the creator, a victory among dogs was still necessary.

It was known that dogs were creatures with a strong sense of hierarchy and social standing.

But faced with Boboke’s provocation, Guard Captain Sonnik did not respond. He thought this grumpy-looking Wolf Person had no self-awareness; you, a Silver Stage, challenging me, a Gold Stage, isn’t that just asking for a beating?

To this, Boboke evidently had a different opinion.

It didn’t believe that its body, strengthened by creation’s power, would be weaker than Sonnik’s Sanghai person. Although ultimate defeat was likely inevitable, the battle between could discern if these Sanghai people truly possessed courage, truly deserved the illustrious title of Followers of the Creator.

Perhaps uncomfortable from being stared at by Boboke’s overly aggressive gaze, Guard Captain Sonnik couldn’t help but ask after a few minutes:

"What are you looking at?"

"What’s it to you?"

Boboke clearly interacted closely with players from the Grey Wolf Army, instinctively delivering a "challenge catchphrase." However, it soon corrected itself:

"I just heard that Sanghai’s Yellow Sand Warriors are the finest warriors on the continent, and my hands are itching. Their conversation will not yield results quickly. The Civilization Museum of the Jackalman is quite safe, so why don’t we have a friendly match?"

"Not interested, my blades are born only to protect."

Sonnik rejected firmly, Boboke snorted and said:

"Certainly, our weapons, as Guardians of Creation, are indeed meant to protect this continent, but cowards are an exception!

You Sanghai people claim you are the most favored children of the creator, yet you just saw, in the museum records, humans, elves, dwarves, and half-body men fought alongside our Wolf People ancestors.

They’re all children of the creator, but there’s no record of you blue-skinned people.

Should I understand that, during the Golden Age, your Sanghai ancestors were also a bunch of cowards?"

"Enough!"

Boboke elevated the challenge to a discussion of ancestral will through the "hate attraction" method, directly touching on the proudest aspect of the Sanghai people’s character. Even someone as stable as Sonnik found himself somewhat furious.

This was akin to insulting the God of Nature in front of Avalon Believers, or disparaging Vam as a coward to Barbarians; if they didn’t retaliate, it would mean they weren’t devout.

The Guard Captain shouted in rebuke, saying to Boboke:

"You need to apologize!"

"I can certainly apologize; the creator taught us humility, but our humility is reserved only for true warriors. Come, Sanghai man, let’s use fists and feet without weapons."

Boboke raised a fist and said:

"Knock me down in twenty moves to prove your prowess, and I’ll apologize!"

"It won’t take me twenty moves to handle you..."

Soon, the sound of bangs echoed in the corner of the Civilization Museum, yet this did not affect the conversation between Hog and Hu Fu. In fact, the doubts Boboke voiced were precisely one of the main topics in their ongoing discussion.
