The lighting up of the achievement system came as a surprise to Murphy, but he quickly calmed down and decided not to tell the young players the good news yet.
Today's casualties were too heavy, but such a huge victory made it necessary to hold a lively celebration.
Not only the players and him, the lord, need to celebrate victory, Sarokdar's death represents the end of a series of tragedies in Cadman City. The people under Murphy also urgently need a ceremony to release their stress and sadness.
He quickly made up his mind!
Three days later, when all the young players are revived and online, the prologue of the main mission is announced in public and they are rewarded with generous loot.
The most important thing right now is to arrange the current situation and find someone to dig out the rewards that the young players deserve from the collapsed Blood Vulture Corridor. Murphy had previously obtained the key to the secret treasure house from Scrooge Zuckerberg, but that
The place is very close to the Hall of Holy Blood, and it is already buried under the ruins.
However, the secret treasure house is very strong and should not be completely buried beyond repair.
"The re-opening of the astral rift will allow primitive and frantic spiritual energy to fill this area. I think we should leave here first before talking about anything else. What do you think?"
After a great battle, Lord Knight Palano needed to wash up urgently to ensure his perfect appearance. He put away the scented notebook in his hand and gave his opinions to others.
Of course no one will object.
Everyone who survived now urgently needs to rest, even the young players who are always full of energy are a little unable to bear it.
Under the escort of the Cadman Self-Rescue Army, they passed through the large rift in the city and rested temporarily in camp tents among the ruins of the outer city. They treated the injured here and then transferred them to the survivor camp.
Miriam arranged for a doctor here in advance, and Tris also went to help.
The three young players found a safe place and lay down on the ground before logging off and going to the forum to brag about their sex. Murphy also found a tent and wiped his body with clean water.
He is probably in the best shape of all the people who survived.
After all, he had just experienced a template upgrade that made him energetic. At this time, it was still dark, so he walked out of the tent wearing only a loose linen robe to see how other people were doing, in order to fulfill his obligations as a lord.
The blood-eating vulture Reifno was ordered by him to move freely. The spiritual raptor was already soaring high in the sky of Transia under the dark night, as if patrolling its own territory.
It also quickly found "new friends".
Natalie's Falcon Shadow and Tris's spiritual pet Three-Eyed Crow Webb were chased around by it as "prey". They relied on their big size and fast flying to do whatever they wanted to bully their compatriots who also had wings, but it
There's not much malice, I'm just out of character and playing with them while claiming sovereignty over the night sky.
As a spirit body, it has no desire to feed on flesh and blood.
Even the fat rat that I caught just now was just for the "hunting ceremony" after it was born in the new world.
The other self did not leave any thoughts or feelings behind, so that the griffon born from Murphy's consciousness had a simple mind like a real beast.
But the other Murphy did indeed lend himself his eyes to him as agreed.
As long as Murphy closes his eyelids at this time, he can use Reifno's vision to observe the dark earth below from high altitude.
There was no delay in switching between the two perspectives, and both parties had the same thinking. Murphy could feel the new-born joy and freedom in Reifno's heart at this time.
With the spiritual pet Reifno who is connected to his heart, Murphy can finally inspect his new territory from a more macro perspective.
The free-flying, ultra-fast griffon quickly discovered something noteworthy when it was hovering in the night sky over Cadman City. It saw a blood knight under Palano standing in front of the eldest lady's tent in the air.
He was talking to Mrs. Adele who was standing there.
From the sharp vision of the vulture, Murphy could see that Adele's expression was not good-looking.
This made Murphy narrow his eyes.
He waved his hand gently, and a black shadow flew out of the tent behind him with a whooshing sound, circled around him and was caught by him with his backhand.
The Demonic Sword of Desire Necessary Evil is very weak at this time.
It longs for blood to replenish its missing power but does not dare to make trouble in front of Murphy. It is so well-behaved not just because Murphy is bound to its soul and is its new master.
More importantly, this miraculous sword knows exactly why it has fallen into this terrible situation.
It obeys Murphy not only because Murphy conquered it, but also because it feels awe from the bottom of its heart to the terrifying purifying power called "Omega" hidden in Murphy. If a sword really has such a thing as an eye,
if.
But it is a powerful force that can confront the chaos of the subspace and purify them.
In terms of absolute power, Murphy's "anti-virus program" may not be enough, but in terms of personality, this thing is obviously on the same level as those subspace shadows that play with living creatures and the world, or even higher.
The Demon Blade of Desire does not have a personal will, but it does have its own unique character.
He is arrogant at first and respectful later, extremely arrogant when he is in power, but also knows how to protect himself wisely when he is down. It is indeed very similar to the racial character of a vampire.
Judging from the large oak sacred blade that Murphy has come into contact with and is said to like to curse, it seems that all miraculous creations have their own personalities just like necessary evils.
"Be good."
Murphy put this magic sword on his waist and quietly disappeared into the night.
Arriving at the eldest lady's tent in a silent blood-wing gliding, Mrs. Adele felt the elder's aura. She immediately walked out of the tent and saw Murphy emerging from the darkness with his hands behind his back. She immediately bowed to pay tribute to the elder.
.
"What are the blood knights doing here?"
he asked:
"Is it related to the eldest lady?"
"He came to inform the eldest lady that he would return to the Dark Mountains with Lord Palano in two days. It is said that it was an order from Lord Pa Ying, asking the daughter of the leader of the Blood Vulture clan to report to him and explain the incident in Cadman City.
Cause and effect.”
Lady Adele said hoarsely:
"It's not yet certain that Lord Palano didn't notice anything strange about the eldest lady, but it stands to reason that he shouldn't have that much time to investigate. After all, after Mrs. Tris summoned him, he almost immediately joined the battlefield in the corridor.
The eldest lady is still in a coma at this time, and I am hesitant to tell her about this?"
"What else can you do if you don't tell her? Can you protect Femis and escape to the other side of the world?"
Murphy shook his head and sighed:
"Since Lord Pa Ying gave the order in advance, it means that the most powerful ancient man in the vampire society has noticed this place. You and Femis's escape now only proves that you have something evil in your heart. The follow-up will definitely attract the thunder of the blood alliance knights."
blow.
But you don't actually need to worry too much about this.
Tris has made it very clear before that under the fact that Salokdar is dominated by the subspace, all the sins and taboo violations committed by Femis can be attributed to him.
And now as the hero who broke through the subspace rift and saved the Transia region, even Lord Paying must be cautious when dealing with the eldest lady.
But to be cautious, we still have to add another layer of insurance to this matter."
"Um?"
Mrs. Adele didn't quite understand what Murphy meant.
She looked at her elders in confusion, but Murphy did not explain. He said:
"You and Maxim will lead people into the collapsed area of the Blood Vulture Corridor tomorrow morning and clear out the place where the secret treasure house is located. My three warriors will assist you. This matter must be completed as soon as possible.
I'll take care of the eldest lady's affairs!
In addition, inform Miriam for me that I will talk to her about the victory celebration tomorrow morning."
"As you command, my lord."
Adele now has no resistance to Murphy's orders.
She leaned over to say goodbye.
He took a few steps back, spread his blood wings, and flew into the night sky to deliver Murphy's order, while also looking for suitable manpower to prepare for the excavation work that would begin tomorrow.
Before becoming a vampire, Mrs. Adele was the eldest lady's housekeeper, responsible for handling all trivial matters for the eldest lady. Now Murphy's orders are just familiar to her.
After Adele left, Murphy reached out and opened the curtain of the tent and walked inside.
The darkness could not block the vampire's vision. He could clearly see the eldest lady lying on the simple bed with her back to him, her shoulders hunched and her voice suppressed, obviously crying silently.
She woke up before.
What happened tonight was a difficult fight for survival for others, but for her it was no less than the most terrifying nightmare in her life.
Facts have proved that her birth and growth were just a plan for Sarokdar. The Duke of Blood Vulture most likely never regarded Femis as his relative, and all his kindness and care were for advancement.
The performance and necessary links when planning.
To the observer, this is a sad story.
But for the protagonist of this story, Murphy almost doesn’t need to think too much about the feeling of life collapse, let alone being substituted to understand it.
"Think on the bright side. At least you have a brother who is upright to the extreme. Adele will still never leave you, and my warriors are still willing to go through fire and water for all your orders."
Murphy stood beside the bed and whispered:
"All is not lost.
Although lies have occupied most of the first thirty years of your life, it is because the lies are so intense that the little bit of truth you have in your hands becomes more precious. Well, I can't make it up anymore, and I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have never experienced anything like yours, and I really can't sympathize with you.
But as I said before.
I'm beginning to pity you, Femis, you are so miserable, compared with you, all the sufferings that Tris and I have encountered in the past seem to be nothing."
"go out!"
Femis said with a hoarse voice and a cry:
"Leave me alone for a while! I don't want to talk about this now. You have got everything you want, territory, reputation and power. You have already got it. Let me stay here alone."
"But I'm here to return something, Miss."
Murphy walked up to her, reached out and took out an exquisite bronze box from the psychic bag, which was the binary mechanical password box that was used to store the core orb.
He placed the thing in front of the eldest lady and opened it gently.
A ball of crimson light appeared in the tent, which was different from the ordinary vampire hearts that were dug out.
Sarokdar's heart did not immediately turn into a solid substance like bloodstone, but slowly beat in the box as if it still had some strange vitality.
To be honest, this scene looks a bit scary.
"When I executed him, he didn't even resist. It only took one psychic shock to repel and seriously injure me, but he didn't do that."
Murphy said softly:
"I don't know what reasons he did that, but it doesn't stop me from thinking that he might want to leave you something as a 'father'. Well, in this sad situation,
Let's just think about things in a better and warmer direction.
So if you want to keep it"
"Trish needs it more than I do."
The eldest lady didn't even look at the vampire heart placed in front of her.
She was disdainful and uninterested in the power that came to her door. She covered her head with a quilt and said in a mute voice of disgust:
"Trish was bewitched by my father and used her own blood essence to create me, a monster! She sacrificed herself in exchange for my birth.
I owe her this.
It's also what her father owes her, so take it to Tris.
And, Murphy! You hypocritical guy, that’s what you thought at the beginning, right? Putting the father’s heart in front of a desperate daughter, what kind of comfort do you think this is?”
"Well, I think my performance just now was good enough, but you still found out the clues. I have to say, Miss, you are really sharp and venomous when you are not suppressing yourself so much."
Murphy put away the mechanical password box in his hand in a brisk tone. He took a step back and looked at Femis who stuck out his head and stared at him with red eyes.
He thought for a while and said to her in a very serious tone:
"A bad guy died tonight! If you were a bad guy, you should be scared. If you were a good guy, you should be happy. Crying should not be an option anyway.
He is not worth your tears.
And I wanted to remind you last time.
You are a vampire, miss. You can't shed tears at all.
Something as gentle as tears does not belong to us, and crying is not a common way for vampires to get through grief. We usually grab a few unlucky people on the street and suck their blood to please ourselves. The conversation I had with Adele just now
Did you hear everything?
You are about to follow Knight Palanor to meet Lord Paying. I think that will be a more vigilant experience for you than facing your nightmare father.
So, instead of wasting time on things that cannot be changed, it is better to be realistic.
Think carefully about how you can survive in the hands of Lord Paying, who is ten times more terrifying than your father."
After saying that, Murphy politely and elegantly leaned over to say goodbye to the eldest lady.
When he walked to the entrance of the tent with the mechanical box in his arms, the eldest lady behind him sat up. She wiped her sore eyes and whispered:
"At first, I thought I was a vampire of noble birth, a true midnight noble. I learned to be as cold-blooded, cunning and vicious as other compatriots.
But I never learn.
That's not because I'm stupid.
On the contrary, I just have more emotions than they do, emotions that are not vampires.
Now I know why.
I'm a monster, Murphy.
From the beginning, I should not imitate the life of a vampire. Fortunately, you seem to be an outlier in our tribe, so I can ask you for advice. What should I do after I just learned the truth that I am actually an outlier in our tribe?
Can I continue my life that has collapsed or never existed?"
"good question!"
Murphy snapped his fingers, looked back at the eldest lady, made a cheering gesture towards her, and said with a straight face and no expression:
"Work harder! Have the courage to face everything head-on, don't act like a sissy! Femis, you are a genius of the Blood Vulture Clan. Tris has even admitted that you are only a little bit dumber than her."
"So, after seeing what I've been through, the best advice you can give me is to 'work harder'?"
The eldest lady clenched her fists and said:
"I'm not kidding you, I'm really looking for advice."
"Emmm."
Murphy tilted his head and thought for a while, then said to her:
"Then my suggestion is, treat this as a game. It's up to you to stay out of it or get involved, but don't care so much about the results. Enjoying the process is the most important experience in a game."
"game?"
"Yes, game! Look, the stage is opened, the lights are on, and the supporting characters are in place! The new upgraded and enhanced version of Miss Femis is about to appear! Will she disappoint those who pay attention to her? Will she be severely punished?
Will the waves of fate turn him into a black-haired loser?
Haha, let’s wait and see for those of us in the front row who have already bought tickets.”
Murphy turned around and walked into the dark night, waving his hands without looking back as the huge blood wings closed and unfolded, and said to the eldest lady who was looking at him:
"If life is also a game, then the only criterion for enjoying it is not whether you can pass the level, but whether you have fun from it? After all, no matter how good a game is without fun, only a ghost would play it?
If life is a game, then everyone who is still alive is the lucky one who has qualified for the test! If there is only pain and no joy in your life game, then I think you should think about it.
Is there something wrong with the way you play the game?
Well, while there is still some time now, let’s reflect on it.”
