Chapter 18 18. When I was dying of illness, I sat up in shock and asked with a smile where was the reward?
At noon, the convoy that had left the village of Moreland and headed for the filthy swamp was completely silent.
The more than thirty midnight hunters summoned by Miss Femis will be placed in luxurious coffins in ten cars and fall into a wonderful sleep.
For these orthodox vampires, they are absolutely not allowed to go out for activities under such damn clear skies.
The sun will burn their too "delicate" skin. Although their resistance to the sun will increase as their strength increases, it is a tradition to hate the light, and the more noble the bloodline, the more so.
This creates a wonderful scene.
Among the entire team of carriages and horses, only the blood servants driving the carriages were active. They were obviously the elite forces of vampires, but they were led by a group of humans. Among them, there was also a heterogeneous person hiding in the last carriage who was studying hard with a handbook.
Murphy's stubborn human habits make him energetic during the day, and also allow him to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to call players for a meeting openly without being discovered by his fellow vampires.
"Stop the car, eat and rest, and set off in an hour."
The blood servant of the young lady driving at the front, a mature woman wearing an elegant housekeeper's uniform and holding a black umbrella, with a cold face but a very hot body, gave orders to the drivers, and the entire convoy stopped in a wilderness.
.
The name of this lady who should be kept away from strangers is Adele, and the blood servants respectfully call her Lady Adele.
It is said that she is Miss Femis's only personal blood servant so far, and is also her most trusted human "friend". She is currently in charge of the logistics of the entire convoy.
Miriam and Maxim were sent by Murphy to have a big meal, while he himself wrapped his body in a hood and sneaked out of the convoy to summon the players in a forest.
Unfortunately, because Murphy is still a rookie, the dark psychic energy in his body is not enough to summon all the little players at once, so he has to summon two batches.
The young players gathered around Murphy obediently after being called out. They had already heard about "hidden favorability" in the game group, so now they looked at Murphy, the mainline NPC, with even more eager eyes.
.
Being stared at "affectionately" by a group of men made Murphy a little too uncomfortable.
Blanch!
Are these guys too realistic?
"Ahem, before the formal conversation, I have to fulfill my promise."
Murphy maintained his elegant demeanor as a vampire. As the players watched, he took out a folded scarlet cloak from his furry power bag, and then tied it with his own hands on the "High Favorability Level"
"The precipitation is on Niu Niu's shoulders.
This luxurious cloak is of excellent quality. It is wrapped around Niu Niu's tall body and fastened with delicate buckles at the neckline. The most eye-catching part is that it comes with a raised collar embroidered with golden silk thread.
After Niu Niu put it on, he felt like an anime fantasy villain, making him the most handsome guy in the crowd. Moreover, Murphy also had a bloody Midnight Hunter mask in his hand.
The metal material is obviously the same aesthetic style as this cloak, and can be fixed on the raised collar and protect the throat.
This should be a very cool pendant, but Niu Niu is just a newbie player now, wearing only a "newbie boxer briefs" and is very miserable.
It doesn't match this luxurious cloak at all.
If I have to describe it, it’s like a hip-hop black guy who bought it for zero yuan snatched an evening dress, full of all kinds of flaws. He wore a midnight aristocratic-style cloak as if he had stolen the black bear essence of the cassock.
, profoundly interprets the perfect meaning of the word "monkey-clad and crowned".
The Spicy Gugu Chicken next to him had his eyes widened, and he exclaimed:
"Holy crap, it looks like you're giving away fashions to rich people with a VIP level of at least +8? Has Alpha Company finally figured it out and installed a recharge window in the game?"
Murphy glanced at him and replied with the calm demeanor that an NPC should have:
"I don't understand what you are talking about, warrior. This may be a compliment from another world. Well, let me take it as a compliment.
This cloak is a reward I obtained for you from the cunning and indifferent Miss Femis. Although it is only a decorative item, possessing it means that you are officially protected by the Blood Vulture Clan.
Each of you has one!
There are also those warriors who have not yet recovered.
But you don’t have your own spiritual energy package now, so I’ll keep it for you first.”
These words made Brother Miao Miao blink his eyes, and he whispered to a few young players beside him:
"This is 'fashion', right? And from what I see, it should be the 'closed beta reward' that the administrator mentioned before?"
"Definitely is."
Ah Yu was quite jealous when he saw Niu Niu waving his cloak proudly. He stared at the low-key elder armor on Murphy and said excitedly:
"I guess this may still be a set. We can put it together after we complete the preliminary testing."
"Equipment for novices is estimated to have average attributes."
The electronic succubus old song next to Brother Meow Meow also whispered:
"But if there is a transmogrification system in this game in the future, we will be awesome. This is absolutely out-of-print, and it will definitely look cool when worn out on the street."
Murphy secretly observed the little players tugging at Niuniu's cloak and making comments, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Oh my, my cute little players are so easily satisfied.
Look, they don’t even need money! You can get away with just one set of clothes. This is really good quality and definitely worth carrying forward. It also fully proves that I really understand the preferences of young players.
I did the right thing when I asked Miss Femis for a cape and gown.
Every high-level vampire has at least one cabinet of this kind of ritual clothing. The preference for luxurious things is a common habit of all vampires.
Even though Tris has been in poverty for more than a hundred years, she now has several good clothes that she only wears on formal occasions, and she doesn't even let Murphy hand wash them for fear of damaging them.
For Miss Femis, these "fashions" are just a piece of cake, but for Murphy, they can become a "carrot" for him to inspire young players.
However, it is okay to play this kind of trick occasionally, players are realistic after all.
Their pursuit of strength never ends, so they have to find ways to hoard a batch of more powerful equipment as real mission rewards.
"Okay, my warriors, it's time to get down to business."
Murphy stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, and the players calmed down and listened to their main NPC outline the next action to them.
However, Murphy was limited to what Miss Femis told him about this operation.
He had no idea about the goods transported by the enemy as well as the number and size of the enemy, but the fact that the eldest lady summoned the midnight hunters all the way did not seem to intend to use more family forces to explain the problem.
Enemies can be tricky.
But their number should not be as large as a real army! Otherwise, there would be no need to take the smuggling channel that has been abandoned for many years.
The filthy swamp bordering the dangerous dark mountains is not a good place. It would be difficult for a large group of people to escape safely from there, so Murphy guessed that the size of the transport team should be between 100-200.
"Sun, this is the plan to use us as cannon fodder!"
One of Mew Miao's good friends, Brother Heisi, whose ID is "黑丝Under the Keyboard", cursed loudly:
"Even if we add our three NPCs, our team only has 18 people. What's the difference between intercepting a 200-person transport team and dying? The witch hunters are so difficult, wouldn't the official army kill us?
Is it the same as killing chickens? This is not like other games that can resurrect a large number of users in a short time!
The three-day resurrection time is too difficult.”
The expressions of other young players are not very good either. Even the sixth brother in the dormitory who has the least social experience here can understand the danger and difficulty of this task.
"Ahem, let me explain, my warriors, witch hunters are not as weak as you think."
Murphy whispered beside them and supplemented the basic knowledge of this world for them. He explained:
"Although the witch hunters of the old religion are at a disadvantage in front of the vampire warriors, they have also stepped into the category of extraordinary power. These guys were selected by the elders of the old religion from childhood and cultivated using various natural secrets.
Warriors, their vitality and destructive power far exceed that of ordinary soldiers.
But even the most elite veterans of the Plantagenet Kingdom are still within the scope of normal humans. What I mean is that the gap between you and the veterans is definitely much smaller than the gap between you and the witch hunters."
"No wonder!"
Hearing this, Lumina Yanghen clapped her hands and said in realization:
"I just said there was something wrong with the witch hunter yesterday. It was unscientific to be hit by a lead bullet fired from a musket of that caliber at such a distance and it only spurted blood.
If this were a normal person, one shot would have broken his bones."
"Yeah!"
Brother Heisi waved his hand and said:
"Brother Meow Meow and I stabbed the old man with dung forks for several minutes, but we still couldn't kill the one-armed old man. So I thought the health bar was a bit too thick. After a long time, it turned out to be a 'psychically transformed human'."
"But don't get too happy too soon."
Murphy poured a glass of cold water on him at the right time, narrowed his eyes and said:
"The escort soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom are easy to deal with, but that powerful human country has more than just soldiers. Their official psychic organization, the "Ring Tower", has the largest number of psychic masters on the continent.
If this escort mission is really as important as Miss Femis said, there will definitely be psychic masters taking over.
And just as the Blood Vulture Clan helped the Portia Confederation resist the Plantagenet Kingdom, there was another vampire force secretly active on the enemy's side.
The clan of those bastards is called 'Wolfsbane'.
They are the most despicable, violent, and unruly group of bastards in the entire vampire society. They are not as good as the blood vultures in flying in the sky, but they are extremely good at close combat and can summon astral wolves to help in battle.
I heard that their clan elder Edward had a secret agreement with General Loren, the frontline commander of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and that the Wolfsbane clan was his best scouts and assassins.
Therefore, I have every reason to believe that we may encounter those Wolfsbane thugs."
Murphy paused, looked at the young players around him, and said in a serious tone:
"So we can't defeat them, we can only outwit them!
I reiterate to you, my warriors, although your alien spirits will not truly die in this world, I will not use you as expendable cannon fodder.
I will not risk all of our futures for the Blood Eagle Clan’s selfish interests.
They don't deserve this!
I have seen your courage and strength. Now, I need your wisdom to brainstorm for us a tactic that can minimize the losses.
Are any of you professional soldiers? Or experienced commanders?"
"No, sir."
Brother Miao Miao pretended to salute, obviously taking the opportunity to increase his favorability. He took a step forward, pretending to be mysterious and whispered to Murphy:
"But I have a professional friend in my hometown who has certain military qualities. Maybe I can ask him for strategies."
"We have some too."
Ge Bao and A Yu looked at each other, stepped forward and said:
"I also have classmates who are in the military academy. I can also ask, sir, leave this matter to us. We will definitely be able to come up with a suitable strategy before the action begins."
"very good!"
Murphy nodded with satisfaction.
He actually had his own plan, but since he was playing a game, he had to take care of the gaming experience of the young players. Anyway, there were still two days before reaching the Dirty Swamp, so he decided to let the young players give it a go.
You can also participate in this matter in real time as another identity on the forum, and they will propose an action plan and they will execute it.
In this way, as long as I can win, I can successfully complete the fifth stage of the difficult Novice Guide mission.
"Then, you can go back and prepare, my warriors."
Murphy waved his hand and said:
"I have been fighting for the best armor and weapons for you. I will take care of the logistics. Let me see the fire of your wisdom! In the name of the big plan, we must complete this challenge!"
"For the big plan!"
The ten young players waved their hands and shouted in unison for a while, then made another appointment with Murphy and disappeared before his eyes during the dismissal call.
Murphy bent down to collect the scarlet cloak that had fallen off Niuniu's body. He hummed a song behind his back and walked back to his carriage, but he suddenly stopped on the road.
Murphy felt as if he was being watched, but he looked left and right and couldn't find anyone. He repeatedly recalled the time when this feeling occurred. After confirming that the monitor should not have seen the player appear and disappear,
He stopped paying attention to this and hurried back to the carriage.
This is a convoy composed of vampires and blood servants. If the eldest lady's spy doesn't appear, it would be a ghost.
Murphy has always been 200% vigilant towards these kindred spirits.
After Murphy returned to the carriage, Mrs. Adele, who had a cold expression but a figure that was, well, at least D possible to reach E, quietly appeared in a shadow at the edge of the woods.
It happens to be near the place where Murphy had a meeting with the players.
This human stalker, who seemed to be in his mature and charming stage, looked around professionally, trying to find traces, but the cunning Murphy had used psychic energy to smooth away all the traces here before leaving. No matter how professional he was,
The investigation couldn't find anything useful.
The lady frowned and decided to record this discovery in her notebook and report it to Miss Femis tonight.
Murphy, a seemingly ordinary and marginal member of the family, may have some problems, and her eldest daughter must be more vigilant because of this, although given the eldest daughter's peculiar character, there is a high probability that she will not care about this.
