Azeroth Hoag Biography

"Hmph, who said that faceless people must not be afraid of pain? We are not undead." Yuna said firmly, seeming very reluctant, but perhaps because of the nature of faceless people, she was still very Obeying Hogg's request, he extended his tentacles into the elemental furnace.

"That's right!" Hogg nodded with satisfaction. While operating the element furnace, he said to Yuna: "If you feel the pain is unbearable, just tell me and I will lower the element concentration slightly!"

Of course Hogg didn't say this to please Yuna. Since it asked Yuna to be the experimental subject, it never thought about pleasing the Faceless Man. However, if the concentration of elements is unbearable even for the Faceless Man's physique, for other It is definitely a disaster for mortals and experimental subjects. After all, Hogg wants to transform life forms, not roast all the experimental subjects.

But as soon as Hogg finished speaking, Yuna couldn't wait to shout: "Adjust the element concentration for me now! Now, immediately, immediately!"

After Hogg finally lowered the element concentration in the elemental furnace to a relatively safe level, Yuna let out a long sigh of relief. She complained with some dissatisfaction: "I feel like my tentacles are about to catch fire. !”

"Isn't this great? In a sense, catching fire is also a form of elementalization." Hogg spread his paws and joked nonchalantly. He did not think that elementalization had only one form of expression, regardless of Whether it is in the form of fire or lava, it can be regarded as a concrete manifestation of elementalization, but it wants the most stable one.

"If you think this is good, you should use your own tentacles for this experiment instead of mine!" Yuna asked dissatisfiedly. She was obviously unhappy with Hogg's gloating ridicule. After all, she was tired from hard work. She was doing all the work, while Hogg, who was watching the show, acted as if it was natural.

"Tentacles? Do you think I have tentacles like this?" Hogg shook his head. He raised his paws and put his furry fleshy palms in front of Yuna, obviously signaling to Yuna. "The claws are empty."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I might have almost forgotten that you are a freak who likes to pretend to be a mortal!" Yuna could only shake her head and said helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that the ancient god is essentially A collection of chaos and madness, nothing can distort the will of the ancient gods. Yuna will definitely think that Hogg has lost his mind.

As an ancient god, Hogg can instantly transform as many tentacles as he wants through the recombination of flesh and blood. However, Hogg, who has no consciousness of being an ancient god, is addicted to role-playing and has no idea that a jackal [-] yards tall is People themselves are abnormal enough.

"What's wrong with pretending to be a mortal? Can't I have some personal hobbies?" Hogg narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, but his tone became calmer.

Yuna knew something about Hogg. She knew very well that Hogg's calmness at this time was actually a precursor to his anger. Yuna was suddenly shocked. She calmly imitated Hogg and replied: "No, no, no." , I just think that as you like to hang out with mortals, and you have the talent to disguise everything, you might as well be nicknamed 'The Pretender'! I remember you don't have a nickname yet?"

"'Pretender'? I didn't expect you to have a talent for naming! Very good, I like this nickname very much!" Hogg muttered in a low voice, and it seemed to have noticed that his reaction was a bit excessive, so it He put on a rather deliberate smile, then patted Yuna on the back and praised her.

Seeing that Hogg had no intention of pursuing the matter, Yuna finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but she still had a doubt in her heart. Why did Hogg get angry suddenly?Could it be that she accidentally poked Hogg's sore spot just now?

Hogg didn't know what Yuna was thinking, and it was a little strange why he suddenly became angry.In fact, since Hogg officially became a member of the Ancient Gods, although it has slowly accepted its identity, it still stubbornly regards itself as a member of the Jackals, a jackal that is somewhat special due to its adventures. people.

But Yuna inadvertently told the truth. From an objective point of view, in fact, Hogg is no longer a jackal. It is just an ancient god disguised as a jackal, and the main reason why it does this is The reason was not, as it had always thought, that the jackals needed a strong leader. The reality was quite the opposite, it was Hogg himself who needed these jackals.

Although Hogg always constrains his behavior by the principle of not actively harming gnolls, in fact, his behavior does not strictly follow this principle.In fact, whether it was the whitewashing farce that he directed and acted before, or the behavior of using jackals as experimental subjects, it was only serving its own interests. Hogg actually didn't care how many ordinary jackals died, as long as those jackals It would be fine if the core staff of Human Rights Watch had nothing to do.

Of course, this does not mean that Hogg has completely positioned himself as an ancient god. It has never wanted to give up its identity as a jackal, but it has never considered this issue before. Hogg could be said to be both an ancient god and a jackal before. But now that it has discovered that this person is both an ancient god and a gnoll, it has begun to make it a little confused.

As Yuna said, Hogg's talent for disguise can be said to be natural. Therefore, after a long time, even it itself became confused about its identity. Although Hogg's soul essence has transformed into an ancient god, But in its heart, whether it is an ancient god disguised as a jackal, or a jackal disguised as an ancient god, I am afraid even it itself cannot tell.

So after awakening, Hogg began to examine his own heart. He didn't know the three philosophical questions, and the questions in his heart were much more complicated than the so-called "who am I". Although as an ancient god, Hogg still There is a relatively simple way to solve this problem, which is to make another incarnation, a jackal incarnation named Hogg.

But Hogg finally shook his head and gave up this seemingly simple choice. He had a hunch in his heart that if he handed his name to an avatar so casually, it would most likely become another one even with it. It feels like a strange existence to myself.

Therefore, Hogg can only slowly search for the answers he wants to know, and this process is destined to be long and lonely. No one in this world can help him, including his incarnations, even if these incarnations share Hogg's memory and thinking. It's the same, because they are no longer Hoggs long ago.
