Miriam finally accepted the title and territory of "Baroness Moreland", and returned to the chair next to Ms. Tris in a daze with a scarlet consul's night bat seal ring.
Her mind went blank and it was almost difficult to think effectively.
This made her feel that she must have been trapped by a cunning vampire using vicious mental spells, but Mrs. Tracey knew very well that this was just a "pig brain overload" caused by a lot of thinking in a short period of time.
No big deal.
Just take a break, drink a few sips of wine and relax.
Tonight's ceremony has ended in terms of process, but Murphy still has one last thing to announce, which is also the last thing to announce. Amidst the whispers of the young players on the second floor, Murphy stood up from the chair on his own.
He held the Demon Blade of Desire, took a deep breath, and looked upward.
His gentle gaze passed over the faces of each little player, and he could remember how these cute and brave alien spirits fought under his command, as well as the process of contact and understanding with each of them.
Although I have only been with the young players for less than a month now, the relationship between the two parties is already quite familiar.
Unfortunately, Murphy cannot be sure whether this closeness is because the players really regard him as a "NPC" as a friend, or is it just because of the players' love for a main-line NPC who spends a lot of money?
He wants to know the answer to this question.
You may even get the answer just by using your desire perception to listen.
But Murphy ultimately did not do so.
He didn't want to be disappointed, and now wasn't the time.
He put this question behind him, reached out and quietly grasped the core orb tied to his wrist and activated the mission to send. The text and content he had already edited were ready to go.
"My warriors! It is precisely because of your unyielding fighting in the past month that I, once a marginalized member of the family, have reached this point. Everything I have now is made of your blood.
Therefore, I must announce it here!
I am about to make a decision that goes against the traditional rules set by countless vampire sages.
This may make me a pariah among my fellow citizens, but I know I must do it!
I want to share the blessings of midnight and the power of scarlet with you! Just as you have been generous and loyal to me."
"Ding, ding, ding"
The moment Murphy finished speaking, the sound of a mission prompt popped up on all the players' computing orbs. Such a large-scale mission trigger could be seen as an update to the main mission.
Brother Mingmiao lowered his head and saw the mission prompt popping up on the player interface:
[The racial branch·‘Midnight’s Call’ has been triggered!
Mission content: Lord Cadman Murphy was moved by your loyalty and courage, and now the Blood Vulture clan is on the verge of annihilation. In order to save the family from the chaos, he had to make a plan with Mrs. Tracey.
A difficult decision that goes against vampire law.
He wants to invite you to join the Blood Vulture Clan and become a member of the Midnight Nobles and the Eternal Sins.
Of course, Lord Murphy will never force his warriors to do anything, so it is up to you to decide whether to respond to Lord Murphy's call.
Mission goal: Respond to the call of Grand Duchess Tracey and Lord Cadman Murphy, pass the Black Iron Trial, complete the First Embrace and Psychic Weaving Ceremony, and join the Blood Vulture Clan.
(Ps. This task needs to be completed after the version update.)
Mission rewards: new racial templates and unique power systems, new reputation systems and gameplay updates
(Ps. All the above functions will be installed after the version update is completed.)
hint!
This task is optional. Refusing the task will not reduce the reputation you have obtained from all parties.
hint!
The vampire race is the development team's first attempt based on the new race gameplay. Rejecting this task will not affect the experience of more new races that will be launched in subsequent versions.
Tip from the development team!
Vampires are an extraordinary race. While they have advantages, they also have disadvantages that cannot be ignored. Testers are advised to choose carefully.
Tip from the development team!
Once the task is accepted and completed, the gameplay change will be permanent and irreversible, so testers should choose carefully.
Tip from the development team!
The test server will be shut down in 20 minutes and the Alpha2.0 version will be updated.
Testers are asked to go to the initial save point - the midnight secret room of the Blood Vulture Corridor to log out. This update will last for 48 hours. Testers are asked to wait patiently for the update to be completed.】
"Hot! I'm going to give my damn heart to Lord Murphy! Now you're telling me that I have to wait 48 hours for an update before I can continue to be loyal?
This is a scam!
The sense of immersion in the game is gone all of a sudden!”
The Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche started howling on the spot.
Ever since he played the "Vampire Experience Card" before, he couldn't stop feeling like he could fly. Now that the mission was finally triggered but there was still another update, it was really unbearable.
"Damn it! This development team is not loyal at all! I suggest dragging out the bolter to serve!"
Happy Stick was also gnashing his teeth beside him.
This guy doesn't have any plot approval for the vampire race, he simply falls in love with the intense beauty of the extraordinary race.
Moreover, Happy Stick's mind was flashing back to the cutscene he had just seen of a vampire's first embrace. What he was thinking was that if an NPC vampire could embrace another person for the first time, could the vampire played by the player do the same?
It's not that I have any dirty thoughts.
After all, it is really hard to find a top-quality vampire like Lady Adele who is both strong and can be used as a flower vase. The main reason is that the vampire elder has absolute control over his offspring.
This super loyal relationship is a great blessing for people like Brother Bang who are naturally insecure.
Other players have also complained that the version update comes at a bad time, but it is necessary!
Murphy must give them time to think carefully.
After all, this thing is really not a game. There is no such thing as clearing points or deleting accounts and practicing again.
Once you switch to Vampire and then regret it, even if the feedback area of the forum is sent to the server and exploded, Murphy will not be able to really make a comeback for the young players.
The most important thing is that Tris's psychic weaving experiment will take another two days to get the final result. Murphy plans to carefully consider the current situation at hand while the young players are resting and smooth out all the things that need to be smoothed out.
By the way, clean up the existing game environment and create a new main quest to welcome the arrival of the "new version".
At this time, the server closing countdown on the player interface had begun to beat, causing these guys to mumble and return in twos and threes from the descendants hall to the midnight secret room where the save point was located.
However, Brother Mingmiao and Haogegege, the first 16 guys who entered the game to participate in the test, fell behind intentionally or unintentionally. After everyone else left, these guys cunningly circled back.
The 16 of them exchanged glances with each other and waited patiently at the entrance of the Children's Hall.
In addition to triggering the branch plot of "Midnight's Call" just now, these 16 "old players" also have an additional hidden mission "Thanks to an Old Friend".
They have confirmed that the second and third batch of players who entered the game are not there.
what is this?
This is clearly Mr. Murphy’s intention to “open a small corner” for the 16 warriors who were the first to follow him!
Mr. Murphy has not forgotten his old brother from the beginning. He is trying to fight for welfare for the bankers. Hehe, don’t mention it, the NPC design of this game is really humane.
In the past, Mr. Murphy was a borderline rookie, so it was just right for him to fry fish ponds with everyone.
Now that Mr. Murphy is doing well, he cannot forget the old brothers who worked hard together.
Murphy did not let the 16 young players who followed him wait too long. Soon, he appeared in front of the young players, holding the wolfsbane sword he had previously seized from Joe Pan Markchi as a walking stick.
It could be seen that he was still a little weak, but when he saw the 16 familiar faces that had been with him for the longest time, the vampire lord's face showed a gentle smile that everyone was familiar with.
"We have experienced many challenges together, my warrior. No, my friends, I just want you to know that although I am a vampire born from midnight, I also know how to be grateful."
He didn't have long speeches either.
Surrounded by 16 young players, he opened his psychic bag and took out one after another, which shone with scarlet light and was full of mystery but had not yet been engraved with names, and handed it to the warriors beside him.
He said softly:
"If you decide to walk this midnight road, then these signet rings that prove your identity are my gifts to you, but there is no need to feel pressure because of this. I can understand that not everyone is willing to return to the eternal night.
The caress and embrace of the sun still remind me in my midnight dreams that I have lost my identity as a human being. I do not have the right to ask you to do things in this world that you do not want to do according to my will.
But you can still keep these precious rings and go find an alchemist or enchanter to make them into items that match your professional characteristics or as simple souvenirs. Such pure blood stones are hard to find on the mainland, so even if you don’t use blood stones,
In addition to the important name of the Eagle Family Seal, this thing can also be regarded as a precious thing that is worth more than gold.
This represents my personal gratitude for the warm companionship you have given me."
Murphy smiled and said gently to the 16 "veteran-level" players:
"With your special situation, even if you join the Blood Vulture Clan, you may not be able to truly fulfill the commandments of the dark night like us. However, I have submitted an application to Mrs. Tracey. If you are willing, after you join the Clan, I will become
Your nominal elder.
Lead, teach and protect you.
You can regard this as a privilege that is different from other warriors, which may not be fair to them.
But I think this is the praise you deserve!"
"Blank!"
The 16 young players immediately went crazy.
In general role-playing games, footmen play marginal or symbolic roles in some large organizations.
However, given Lord Murphy's current status in the Blood Vulture Clan, where one person is less than ten thousand people, he can actually allow players to directly become his nominal heirs. This kind of start that can be said to be "Tianhu" is obviously not consistent.
Common sense of role-playing games.
The only explanation is that these "promises" spoken by Murphy in front of me are probably the real "sealed beta rewards" left by the development team to the first batch of beta beta players.
"What should I do? I'm a little excited."
Brother Mingmiao, who had already transferred to Oakwood Apprentice, felt a little numb for a while.
The temptation of "starting with a new identity" in front of him made him even have the urge to "delete his account and practice again". The other players looked at him with a kind of pity.
That’s weird!
Of course when something like this happens, you should immediately rush up and laugh loudly, right?
"My warrior Meow Meow, you have been watched by the God of Avalon. Even if I have the courage, I would not dare to snatch believers from the God of Nature."
Murphy shook his head and patted the dejected Brother Mew on the shoulder, and said:
"But even if there is no connection with the same race, I believe there is still a bond between us. As I said just now, I will not interfere with your decision, but I will be happy for your move into the eternal night."
"Ding"
The soft sound of the player interface caused 16 people to lower their heads at the same time.
[Hidden reputation achievement "Approval from Lord Murphy" has been lit!
hint!
The hidden title "Murphy's Friend" has a completion level of 1/2. This hidden title can be obtained after obtaining the reputation achievement "Blood Vulture's Friend" in subsequent versions.
hint!
This hidden achievement will not be available after the Alpha2.0 version update.】
"Wow, get the out-of-print achievement! Get the benefits for veteran players, oh yeah!"
Hao Gege and his dormitory brothers immediately cheered, and the others also looked happy.
Players like this kind of out-of-print stuff, even if it’s just a lump of papa, out-of-print papa is still a good thing!
"I will give you my heart, my lord!"
"And I!"
"Me too!"
The Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche, Ah Mian and the Spicy Gugu Chicken all knelt down on one knee and imitated Maxim's first embrace and swore allegiance to Murphy.
But Murphy shook his head and said in a long voice:
"I thank you for your loyalty, my dear Cheche, A'en and Guguji. However, you still need to pass the test of strength. But don't worry, that is no longer difficult for warriors like you.
challenge.
Ah, there is a mysterious force telling me that maybe you should return to your world.
Perhaps this heralds that our world will also undergo certain changes.
I don't know if this is good or bad.
Come on, let me give one to you.
Send one of my most trusted warriors back home."
Murphy raised his hand and moved forward. Surrounded by 16 players, he walked towards the depths of the Blood Vulture Corridor. He was almost stuck in time and moved forward. From time to time, he chatted with his original warriors about his future prospects for Transia.
.
Card watched 16 players enter the midnight chamber at the last minute, and then temporarily turned off the projection resonance function of the test administrator system.
He stepped into the silent chamber.
At this time, his 60 warriors were lying in various postures in the dark night, but this "version update" did not count as being kicked offline, so their bodies still maintained their physical form.
Murphy raised his hand, applying the group death grip around him, letting the invisible midnight noose lift the little players into the air in a "gentle" manner, and then placed them on the stone in front of them in a sleeping posture.
On the stage, they also thoughtfully placed their weapons in their hands.
It's like, in the next moment, these warriors will open their eyes again and draw their weapons to fight for Murphy.
"After fighting continuously for so long, you should take a good rest. After all, you are different from me. You still have your own life in another world. Don't just be regarded as an Internet-addicted teenager and be finished."
Murphy leaned on a cane and stretched his body in the darkness.
At this moment, he finally no longer has to play the role of an NPC who is always wise and always uplifting.
It's like taking off an invisible mask.
The vampire lord tilted his head. He reached out and took off the finger that the Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche, who was lying next to him, had bitten in his mouth when he was sleeping, placed it on his chest, and helped Pigeon adjust the collar of his equipment.
In the darkness, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the secret room, waving his hands and saying softly:
"Just think of it as giving you two days off to recuperate and then complete our big plan together. Good night, my warrior.
Good night, my friends in another world.
What follows will be a less stressful gaming time, just for fun. As for the dangerous black disaster, emmm, let’s make it into an expansion pack.”
