The Goat woman explained solemnly:

“Although we do not have concrete evidence at the moment, I can tell you the threads we’ve uncovered.

Awakening the Nightmare Tyrant is just the first step for those heretics; their true goal is to use the power of the Nightmare Tyrant to enter the legendary ‘World of Dreams’, kill the sleeping King of all Curses, Vidya, and seize His great power.

Believe me, Governor Murphy, the King of all Curses truly exists as a Star Giant.

He fell into slumber after being injured in battles against the evil outside.

Someday, the true God of the Goat Men will awaken and lead His people.”

“?”

Murphy blinked and said suspiciously:

“But no one outside knows the name of the King of all Curses, just like the Nightmare Tyrant Baphomet, who is unknown.

Triss said only you Goat Men still remember the name of this Divine Spirit, but even as the continent’s finest theologian, she couldn’t confirm whether the King of all Curses truly exists.

Oh, by the way, Triss also seized a copy of ‘The Book of Ten Thousand Curses’ from that previous battle.”

“What?

‘The Book of Ten Thousand Curses’?”

The Goat woman suddenly became excited.

She was so excited that she ignored her injured hoof, crying out in pain and falling ungracefully to the ground when she tried to get up.

But she disregarded her pain, twisted her lips, and inquired while rising:

“Can you confirm that it’s really ‘The Book of Ten Thousand Curses’?

It’s one of the sacred relics that the King of all Curses left in the material world, lost during the chaos of the Fourth Black Disaster.

This sacred artifact supposedly contains the supreme wisdom of the King of all Curses.

If one is destined, they can even gain Divine Spirit knowledge from it!

It was my mentor’s regret before he died.

Can I go to Lady Triss to retrieve that sacred artifact?”

“Hmm, see, you can, but taking it, no!”

Murphy decisively refused:

“That thing is now ‘national treasure’ of Transylvania, personally guarded by Triss.

However, we Blood Vulture Clan are not unreasonable people.

If it is indeed your Goat people’s sacred artifact, we can return it.

But first, you must show your sincerity…

For instance, I have a stronghold in Dark Valley to fight the Black Disaster.

Your Goat people are famously skilled in Spiritual Energy and curses; why not send a mage troupe to assist in the battle?

If we win, that book can be returned to you.

No, no, not back to Vidia Abyss City, but to ‘Dark Root.’ As heroes who recovered the ‘national treasure,’ you would instantly become the idols of all civilized Goat people!

You see, this is a wonderful thing.

As an organization that values heritage and history, don’t tell me, the honorable ‘Dark Root’ cannot even muster a mage troupe?

Even Triss can join you, indicating that your organization has strength.”

“Uh, I can’t make this decision alone; I must seek the elders’ opinions.”

Julia seemed somewhat tempted.

The Goat woman’s cross-shaped pupils shone with a certain ambition, confirming the belief that Goat people are innately dark; judging by this Goat woman’s display, it seems true.

“It still needs consideration, huh?

Looks like the allure of the national treasure isn’t that great.”

Murphy snorted, rolled his eyes, and said:

“If a single ‘Book of Ten Thousand Curses’ isn’t enough, then how about the downfall of the Baphomet Heretics as well?

Under my command is a group of nosy Transia warriors, fearless, and they are already exploring that underground palace and eliminating the Goat Man thugs there.

Surely, you can find common ground with them.

Seriously, it only takes a minimal reward, and the righteous Transian warriors are willing to help ‘Dark Root’ solve the Baphomet Underground Palace’s troubles.

Isn’t it said, that underground palace is related to the origin of the Goat people?

So, it definitely counts as sacred land, and after eliminating those self-serving heretics, I can decide to give you the Baphomet Underground Palace as a museum or something.”

“But aren’t you going against the Wolf People?”

The Goat woman said in surprise:

“Where will you find more power to make more enemies for yourself?

The Baphomet Heretics may not be a strong force, but they are dangerous, which does not align with your principles as Governor, does it?”

“I need a place to train my soldiers; I can’t just throw them into the Black Disaster Battlefield and have them fight the brutal Wolf People right away.

That would be sending them to their deaths.”

Murphy waved his hand and said:

“The combat strength of the Baphomet Heretics is just right, especially those outer Goat Man thugs; they are excellent ‘whetstones.’ Don’t ask too much, just say whether you and your organization would be willing to become friends with the Transia people?

If you are willing, bring your people with us back to Shadow Valley.

I will send you to Transylvania to meet Triss, who will help you handle the next things, but if you want to retrieve that ‘Book of Ten Thousand Curses,’ then you must have a powerful mage troupe join the Transia wars…

Hmm, you!

Yes, as the local representative of the Dark Root organization, you must also join our Transia’s Spiritual Energy organization, Red Devil Hall, as the representative of civilized Goat Men in Transylvania.

This condition is really not harsh, Goat woman…

cough cough, I mean, Julia, as a scholar, you must think more about the future for your people, right?”
