Chapter 13 13 I want to strive for a little blessing for my family members
Chapter 13 13. I want to strive for some small benefits for my family members
In the village of Moreland, the little players were digging holes in their voices.
They planned to bury the innocent villagers killed by the witch hunters. They were originally trying to show off their "reliability" in front of Murphy, but when Miriam gestured in sign language and gave away a pile of bloody coins,
After giving it to these "enthusiastic people", the nature of the matter completely changed.
Although the player interface is not yet online, young players stubbornly believe that this is a task.
Look, all the pretty NPC ladies have been paid, right?
She was still chattering something. Although I couldn't understand it, I thought it must be a beautiful word of thanks. Isn't this the way NPCs give out tasks?
As a player, it would be too much if you don’t do the tasks that come to your doorstep.
However, the truth of the matter is.
"Murphy, can you take care of your alien warriors?"
Miriam complained to Murphy, who was enjoying the nightfall, with an embarrassed look on her face:
"I said these corpses should be piled up and burned to prevent them from turning into ghosts or ghouls later! Those horrible things are most likely to appear in places where such massacres occur.
But they don’t understand that they have to dig a big hole. This seems to be some kind of custom there, but just digging like this, how long will it take to dig?”
"If they want to poach you, let them do it. I said my warriors are very enthusiastic people, passionate and stubborn. If you stop them, they will be unhappy.
If they are unhappy, someone will be in trouble."
The unlucky vampire didn't want to pay attention to these things at all.
He was watching with great interest Brother Mingmiao and Shen Niuniu playing with the automatic hunting crossbow.
Brother Mingmiao was sweating profusely as he picked up the heavy machine. With the help of Shen Niuniu, he opened the built-in footrest and aimed at the outside of the village.
Judging from the mean smiles on their faces, they obviously intend to "have fun" before being kicked off the line.
However, after the two idiots worked hard, they were completely unable to understand the operating principle of this thing. It has a certain similarity with the real machine, but the underlying design logic is completely different.
"Where's the insurance?"
The physical education student Shen Niu Niu kept pulling the trigger, but could not activate the delicate steam power furnace.
Brother Miao Miao is also scratching his head.
As a high-level social worker who works in software outsourcing, he has no chance to come into contact with this kind of thing that can be tortured and tortured. Maybe he can figure it out if his two middle-aged friends, the dump truck man and the forklift man, come over, but it is a pity that the two
The unlucky guy who has been machining for half his life has been dropped by this thing before.
While the two were busy working around, Miriam finally took action.
She stepped forward and squatted next to Brother Mingmiao, checking the automatic hunting crossbow with her hands and feet quickly, and then opened the safety hidden under the mechanical buckle.
The steam furnace restarted and made a whining sound, and the metal arrow nest also started to rotate.
"The gold-burning catalyst in the steam furnace is still enough to last a long time, but the fuel gas it comes with is not much, so you should use it sparingly."
As an outstanding student of the Chardo Artisan University, although she is in the administration department, Miriam will also go to halfling factories for extracurricular practice. Although she is not good at these steam machinery, she can still operate it.
But she and the little players don't understand each other's language.
She chattered a lot to Shen Niuniu, who was holding the automatic hunting crossbow, but the latter could only stare at her with an innocent look as if he were listening to a book from heaven.
"What is this NPC talking about?"
Niu Niu turned around and asked, Brother Ming Miao rolled his eyes and said:
"She said you were handsome."
"Hey, that's right! I was the most handsome in the physical education department of our class, nicknamed 'Ushikawa Kaede'. I didn't expect this NPC to be quite discerning."
The innocent sports student suddenly became silly and happy, but then he realized that Brother Mingmiao didn't understand what the NPC was saying, so this guy was probably talking nonsense.
Damn it, this cunning social man!
"Can you fix that thing?"
Murphy asked softly, apparently noticing Miss Miriam's "hidden ability", and the latter glanced at Murphy, seemingly seeing through Murphy's plan.
She shook her head and said:
"I'm not from the mechanical department. Besides, this type of automaton is too old. The mechanics of the Chardo halflings no longer use this single-furnace structure to power weapons. Although the witch hunters maintain this thing very well.
Okay, but they got it at least 100 years ago, and you have to find a professional old mechanic to repair it. Huh?
what is that?"
Miriam pointed behind Murphy in surprise.
The vampire looked back and saw the scarlet blood vulture fireworks hovering in the night sky behind him. The familiar pattern made Murphy squint his eyes.
"The gathering signal for the midnight hunters. That direction is where the witch hunters escaped. They are finished!"
When Murphy saw the fireworks, he knew that Maxim's mission to deliver the message had been successful. He let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Then he shouted to the little players who were still busy:
"My dangerous and arrogant compatriots are coming. My warriors, you must go back to your own world and have a good rest! Waiting for the next call from me and the big plan. Of course, in the name of today's victory,
The next time you come here, I will prepare for you the rewards that the warriors deserve!
This is a promise from Murphy!"
The players have some regrets.
They wanted to play for a while longer, but the little players who were tired of digging holes were secretly relieved.
They imitated Miriam's manners, used unfamiliar gestures from this world to politely bid farewell to Murphy, and then disappeared in the light of the dismissal summons.
The armor and weapons they wore lost their support and fell to the ground out of thin air.
This movement made Murphy shake his head.
Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, the lights and shadows when the players exit are too exaggerated.
However, this situation only occurs when the administrator forcibly kicks the game offline. I think that when players can connect freely in the future, they will be able to retain the entity after being temporarily offline.
At least you don't have to re-wear equipment every time you go online, but the issue of light and shadow when dying still needs to be considered.
This scene also made Miriam blink. The smart but cunning girl glanced at Murphy suspiciously, but made no comment.
"Give them a bandage. It's best if they survive. If they don't survive, it's their fate."
Murphy pointed at the tied up unconscious huntress and her two men.
Although the young players are brave, they don't have the guts to do it in this fully immersive game for the time being. This is all due to the education they have received in a civilized society, so it is said that they have defeated an army.
In fact, only one of the team actually died.
The cause of death was excessive blood loss.
Natalie, the "gray-haired witch hunter", was injected with coma drugs. Scout Amber and one-armed veteran Porter both survived, but their injuries were serious. Instead, the four witch hunters who broke out of the encirclement were accidentally hit.
The midnight hunters who have boarded the blood vulture.
Life or death is really uncertain for them.
Well, if I had known this earlier, wouldn't it have been better to have surrendered obediently and surrendered?
Soon the neighing of the war horses sounded in the night. Standing at the entrance of the messy village, Murphy saw his loyal servant at a glance.
Maxim, who was riding over, also cried with joy when he saw Murphy. This loyal and fanatical vampire admirer walked quickly.
He tried hard to suppress his excitement and said loudly to Murphy:
"Thank you for your honor, Lord Murphy! I gave the clan leader's secret order to the connector, and asked them to come for help. I am very happy to see that you are safe and sound."
Murphy didn't say much, he just reached out and patted Maxim on the shoulder with exhaustion after the battle.
He can now be sure that this loyal servant with albinism is someone he can trust and entrust. Although he is still a blood servant in name, Murphy has decided to look for him after returning to Cadman City.
That Lord Jed asked Maxim to come over.
You can never have too many talented and loyal people like Murphy.
The two chatted for a while, and then the vampire saw five "people" falling from the sky behind them.
From their large and elegant scarlet cloaks and exquisite and luxurious night hunting attire, you can tell that these five people are elite hunters of the Blood Vulture Clan. Their official profession should be called "Midnight Hunter", which is basically the same as hunter and assassin.
combination of.
Just standing there, they felt like they were one with the darkness around them, much better than a rookie like him.
When Murphy was observing these vampires, they were also observing Murphy, and finally came to the conclusion that this guy was really weak.
It is simply a shame to the Blood Eagle Clan that even a simple message delivery task can be messed up like this.
However, the short vampire at the head still had some respectability as a midnight noble. He did not directly mock him. Instead, he took a look at the situation in Moreland Village. His eyes shrank when he saw the burned corpses, and then he regained his composure.
, and said in a cold and calm voice:
"Congratulations, compatriot. It seems that you have just completed a hunt and gained a valuable victory. These villains who dared to invade the blood vulture territory and massacre our people were brought to justice. I want to represent the current guardian of the family.
The civilian officials would like to express their gratitude to you.
I probably shouldn't bother you to drink the sweet wine of victory, but there is something in you that I need right now."
Is it a woman?
Murphy blinked.
Then he took out the small psychic decoding seal from his clothes and handed it to the other party.
The latter took it in his hand and took out the secret order of the patriarch that Maxim had sent before. He put the seal on the scroll and unlocked the encrypted psychic device.
When he saw this scene, Maxim, who was standing next to Murphy, suddenly realized, and then his heart was filled with admiration for Murphy's supreme wisdom.
The Lord only gave him the secret command scroll but not the decoding seal, so the hunters who had obtained the secret command had to come to support Murphy to prevent the decoding seal from falling into the hands of the witch hunters, no matter how unwilling they were.
Murphy noticed the change in Maxim's expression, and then gave him a subtle look to let Maxim figure it out.
Oh, a weak courier with no backing and an unknown member of the family can of course be easily sacrificed by these ruthless vampires who are facing the threat of war.
Although Murphy has not been a vampire for a long time, the teachings from Tris have made him wary enough to face his "compatriots".
After Tris got drunk, she often told him that when fighting side by side with vampires, it was far more important to guard against stabbings from the backs of compatriots than to guard against attacks from the enemy in the open.
These cold and arrogant midnight hunters have not had much communication with Murphy since they opened the secret order of the clan leader. They stayed outside the village probably waiting for more hunters to gather and prepare to complete the gift given by the blood vulture clan leader Salokdar.
their secret mission.
But Murphy doesn't care at all.
He now very much hopes that after he has completed his mission as a messenger, he will be allowed to return to the safety of Cadman City to discuss the issue of oiling the soles of his feet with Tris.
He hadn't discovered it before, but after realizing that the Blood Vulture Clan had been infiltrated into a sieve during this trip, Murphy didn't want to stay in this shabby place like Transia for a day.
Anyway, Tris said that she also has some reputation in other vampire clans, so when the time comes, she will take Tris with her to protect the little players who are slowly growing up.
The world is so big, where can’t I go?
"Refnor Murphy Lesembra!"
Just as Murphy was thinking, the cold voice from before sounded again, causing Murphy to turn around and see the short lady who was the leader of the safari quietly coming to his side.
The latter stared at him with sharp eyes under the hood of the scarlet cloak. After a moment, she said:
"I need to recruit you and your servants to complete the secret mission ordered by the patriarch. This mission is crucial to the war situation in the Transian region and even the entire Portian Confederation.
Therefore, I hope"
"Before you instruct me to do anything, this lady, you should always let me know who you are."
Murphy yawned and interrupted the tirade of the female vampire in front of him.
He stared at the other person, imitating the dark tone unique to vampires in the other person's words, and said:
"Although I am only an unknown member of the family, I was first embraced by the former elder of the family, Ms. Tris. I should know which big shot I will serve next, right?
I feel this is the right I deserve."
"Trish is a disgrace to the family! Every blood vulture knows this."
The safari leader snorted coldly and humiliated Murphy's "elder" mercilessly.
"I have to know who you are!"
Murphy could not refute the fact that "Trish is a shame to the family", but he said seriously and stubbornly:
"This way I can confirm whether I and my servants will be thrown away as cannon fodder by you. Theoretically, my mission as a messenger is over. Madam, I can return to Cadman City now.
You know this.
We blood vultures follow rules when doing things, which is different from the Wolfsbane clan's unruly gangsters."
These words made the leader of the safari in front of her hesitate for a moment. Perhaps Murphy persuaded her by referring to the family rules. After a few seconds, she opened her hood, revealing a very young face that could even be called
It's called a "childish" face.
The same long black hair as Murphy.
But he has a pair of scarlet eyes, coupled with his short and petite stature and baby-fat cheeks, he looks like a half-grown child.
No wonder she had to wrap herself up so tightly. This kind of honor really has no dignity at all in war.
However, Murphy recognized her immediately from his memory, and the unlucky vampire immediately bowed slightly to the short girl in front of him with a standard blood vulture salute.
He whispered:
"It turns out it's you, Countess Femis. Then, my servants and I are willing to serve you and your father's cause wholeheartedly."
"Not for me and my father!"
Countess Femis Cecilia Lesembre wrinkled her cute little nose and corrected her very seriously:
"This is for the existence and continuation of the Blood Eagle family! Although my father is the clan leader, there is no need for you to be so respectful to me because of this. After all, I am just a very ordinary member of the family."
"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right, Miss."
Murphy replied perfunctorily, wondering if this child from a noble family was really innocent?
Or is it a natural black color?
But when the eldest lady in front of him finished speaking and turned to leave, Murphy's eyes suddenly lit up.
He coughed and said:
"Miss, please wait a moment. My servants and I are very willing to serve you, no, for the great cause of the family, but I still hope to gain some small benefits for their loyal people."
"Um?"
Miss Femis looked back at Murphy in surprise and said:
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"I mean, I want something from you to inspire passion, pride and enterprise in my servants. Don't get me wrong!
It’s not something important, and you will definitely be willing to give it.”
