Chapter 15 15. The correct way to upgrade is besides killing monsters and reading books
Although Miss Miffy is arrogant and cold, she does what she says.
Within ten minutes, one of her guards brought Murphy everything he needed.
A handbook of basic psychic skills and a handbook of blood vulture swordsmanship.
These are the personal belongings of the eldest lady, and they are written down by her own experience when she was just learning. It is obvious that the eldest lady herself is the kind of "genius" she calls herself.
In addition, there is also an exquisite small pocket, which contains twenty sets of blood eagle family retinue armor, made by the best leatherworkers and tailors in Cadman City.
Although it is a relatively lightweight ordinary leather armor, it also has quite good defensive capabilities.
At least it's much better than the shabby armor used by witch hunters, and most importantly, it's handsome enough and has a unified format. Young players will definitely like it!
Murphy understands their aesthetic best.
Weapons should be large and exaggerated, and preferably handsome and shiny.
The armor should be cool and bare, preferably a bikini and black stockings.
Although there are currently no conditions that satisfy players' special and bizarre aesthetics, the armors and matching weapons in front of them are all made by excellent craftsmen, and there are several finely crafted items in them that are enough to arm them.
These things have surpassed the level of ordinary retinue armor, and it is obvious that the eldest lady prepared them in advance for the blood servants she will accept in the future.
Throwing it out without blinking an eye fully proves that she is a little rich woman.
It seems that the patriarch also understands the way for his daughter to be rich.
Looking at others and then looking at himself, the total value of the equipment that the eldest lady prepared for the servants could even easily buy Tris's run-down manor. This made Murphy unable to help but feel sad at this moment.
The gap between whether the elder is reliable or not is vividly displayed in this moment.
The unlucky vampire sighed with self-pity and tied the psychic traveling bag containing armor and weapons around his waist under the disdainful gaze of the guard.
"Are you so poor that you don't even have your own psychic bag?"
The tall Midnight Walker, wearing blood-colored chain mail, sneered in a low voice:
"It seems that you, like your elders, are a disgrace to the family! A mouse in a mud pit, the eldest lady who has inherited the wisdom of the clan leader really knows how to make the best use of everything."
But the thick-skinned Murphy was already used to this kind of ridicule, and he just looked up and down at the cool chain armor on this guy, the long sword at his waist, and the rolled-up blade whip.
He rubbed his chin, and after the latter showed off his arrogant superiority, Murphy snapped his fingers and said:
"Take it off, you're going to keep this outfit."
"Um?"
The elite midnight hunter's eyes widened.
He understood this as a provocation, but when his fingers touched the hilt of the sword, he heard Murphy say in a ghostly voice:
"Your noble eldest lady has just promised to give me a set of elite armor to protect my dog's life. So, your Excellency, who has a strong sense of superiority, doesn't want to see your noble mistress fall into the disgrace of making a mistake, right?
It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it.
Shall I go find someone else and ask?"
"Shut up!"
The arrogant guard immediately clenched his fists due to the scandal involving the eldest lady.
He looked back at Femis.
The eldest lady waved her hands without looking, obviously not caring about this trivial matter at all.
The latter could only hold back his anger and took off his chain armor, leather-lined armor and weapons under Murphy's subtle smile and threw them to Murphy, while other vampire elites whispered strange laughter.
Zhong Leng returned to his master with a face on his face.
But Femis obviously has some tricks up his sleeve.
She seemed to have anticipated all this, and took off her cloak and put it on her loyal guard.
However, due to the height difference, the tall guard could only kneel down halfway to allow the noble lady to complete this action.
In the strict hierarchical vampire system, this kind of gift from the superior can best reflect the apparent importance, so the guard who had just been humiliated by Murphy immediately became proud again.
"What a good dog. It seems that our Sanwufu loli has a good skill in dog training."
Murphy snorted in his heart.
He didn't take this matter to heart at all. How could a mature social person know such an immature giant vampire baby?
"Maxim!"
He called to his loyal servant and threw the chain mail in his hand to him.
The latter was panicked for a while.
This is elite armor for the Midnight Hunters. What virtue can a humble blood servant like him have?
However, Murphy urged him to put it on quickly. He had Tris's Elder Armor, which was tough enough to withstand Huntress's Blessed Blade, so this thing was not meant for him to wear.
Murphy values his own life very much, especially after his fight with Natalie. He has realized that the risk of a head-on battle is now unbearable for him.
Therefore, it is better not to rush into battle so recklessly if it is not necessary.
Therefore, it is better to leave this matter of dressing up and showing off to someone more suitable.
“Very good, very energetic!”
Murphy reached out and patted Maxim on the shoulder.
As expected, a person depends on his clothes. This white-haired blood servant with albinism became majestic after putting on this majestic scarlet chain mail, and then put on a midnight cloak that he got from the eldest lady. He already looked like a real person.
The image of a mighty commander.
"From now on, you will be my 'shadow warrior'."
Murphy stretched out his arms, as if giving honor and as if joking, he tapped Maxim on the left and right shoulders, and said:
"Before we return safely to Cadman City, you have to learn to play 'Murphy'. This is dangerous, but I believe it."
"I understand! Mr. Murphy, please leave all this to me! I will not let you down!"
Maxim responded loudly, patting his chest loudly.
Although he was foolishly loyal and had bad habits such as fanatical vampire worship, he was not stupid. He immediately realized what Master Murphy meant, and instead of being afraid, he felt honored.
Lord Murphy has promised to give him his first hug after returning. As a descendant, it is his duty to protect his elders.
What's more, Maxim also has his own little ideas.
Being ignored, he almost watched Murphy's victory in Moreland Village, which made him certain that although Lord Murphy is still weak now, he will definitely achieve great things in the future.
If you show your loyalty at this time, you will definitely be able to share in his glory in the future.
For him, who is eager to get ahead, this risk is nothing at all. What he fears most is to continue to be ignored and live a bleak life without hope.
"Let's go! Go fencing!"
Murphy waved to Maxim, and the two walked towards a wasteland in the distance.
He wanted to verify the specific effects of the experience and template upgrade functions he had previously unlocked, and he would spend the remaining three days sharpening his guns.
After deciding to implement this "Operation Cannon Fodder" as the fifth link of the novice guide mission, Murphy has made up his mind to go all out this time. The equipment for the young players has been prepared, and he will summon them tomorrow.
Enter the game to discuss tactics, and be sure to have a beautiful blocking battle.
In addition, his personal strength cannot stagnate. After finally unlocking the upgrade function, he must seize the time to practice and consider the worst case scenario.
In case the players fail, he must be able to escape on his own.
As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
This is really not about Murphy being greedy for life and fearing death.
The main reason is that there is a "waste king" waiting for him to go back in Cadman City. If he dies, with Tris's living habits, this lonely old vampire has no one to rely on, and she can probably kill him.
She starved herself to death.
It's too miserable to think about it.
——
Under the dark night, two figures were clashing swords back and forth.
They all use the Blood Vulture Clan's standard cage-hand swift sword, which makes this slender and sharp weapon make a whirring sound, and also brings out rays of cold light as the sword holder attacks and defends.
This thing is a standard one-handed sword technique, which focuses on speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.
Attack like a poisonous snake and defend like a vulture. If combined with the various magical uses of the Blood Vulture Clan on the Blood Wings, you can completely integrate offense and defense.
At this time, with the midnight speed of the vampire as an extraordinary creature, Murphy's sword could not catch any trace in the night. However, as a sparring partner, Maxim was also very familiar with the blood vulture swordsmanship, so it was not difficult to deal with it.
.
Although in the mainland martial arts circle, blood vulture swordsmanship is practical but not a profound skill, and it does not incorporate the mystery of the use of psychic energy at all, but with the blessing of a vampire's extraordinary physique, it can still fight a blood servant.
There is a return.
This fully proves that Murphy's swordsmanship looks cool, but is actually really bad.
After all, it's just an "entry-level" skill, and to be honest, you can't expect it to be that magical.
"Snapped"
After a block, the swift sword in Murphy's hand was touched on the shoulder by Maxim's snake-like blade, which meant that he failed again.
The unlucky vampire sighed and sheathed his sword in a handsome gesture. Maxim opposite him looked a little embarrassed, but still said to his master with a smile on his face:
"Your swordsmanship has improved again, Lord Murphy."
"You might as well just say that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm not someone who can't afford to lose."
Murphy rolled his eyes, waved to Maxim, and motioned for his servant to practice first, while he walked to the tree, sat down, and yawned again.
The stubborn routine he had as a human was still affecting him, and he needed more time to adapt to the weird biological clocks of vampires.
He glanced at his character card and saw that the "experience bar" in the bottom row had been improved during the fencing just now, which made Murphy feel excited.
Facts have proved that this thing does not mean that you can gain experience by killing an enemy.
The character card explains the experience bar very clearly.
This "experience bar" only uses data to express an individual's strength more clearly. It has two displays: "Character Level" and "Professional Level".
What the character level really represents is Murphy's use, understanding and control of his own power at each stage of strength, while the career level represents the degree of specialization in a certain occupation and main skills. This is related to the transformation of the career tree.
Relevant to job conditions.
The former represents the level of absolute power, while the latter is closely related to the specific manifestation of power.
Therefore, in order to "upgrade", in addition to honing his skills in combat, Murphy also needs to have a clearer and deeper understanding of his own power.
If Tris is around, there is no need to worry. Although the former elder of the vampire clan is useless, it is easy to guide a junior. Unfortunately, in the current situation, Murphy has to find other ways to make up for it if he wants to upgrade quickly.
He took out the swordsmanship manual given by Miss Femis and started to read it.
In this dark night, there is only moonlight for illumination. Reading in such a lighting environment is definitely torture for the eyes. However, the structure of vampire eyeballs is different from that of mortals, so Murphy is not affected by the dark night.
While he was flipping through the thin notebook, he was thinking about his current skills in his mind.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the swordsmanship of the Blood Vulture. This is the only melee skill that I have mastered, and I must practice it with determination.
From the sword fight just now, he could basically tell that Maxim was a good sparring partner at this stage. This family member who had been loyal to the Blood Vulture family for three generations was at least proficient in the Blood Vulture swordsmanship.
That Lord Jed is really arrogant. He completely failed to see Maxim's potential in this area and his life-threatening training intensity. He can only say that he doesn't recognize talents.
But this is good, at least I have found a treasure.
In addition to swordsmanship, Murphy also has certain psychic skills.
But the problem with supernatural power is that its improvement speed is not as fast as that of swordsmanship. This thing represents the application of knowledge, just like you can use a ruler to measure the circumference of a triangle, but it is definitely faster to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate.
It's a truth.
Using brute force is the dumbest way to improve your psychic skills.
After traveling for more than a month, Murphy has sorted out the basic knowledge about the world in his mind.
He knew that the so-called spiritual energy was a special force that wandered between heaven and earth in this world. It was said to originate from the more mysterious star realm covering the material world. However, there were also some theories that the true origin of spiritual energy was in a more dangerous and unknown place.
In the known subspace.
It is a mysterious area located further out in the star realm, and even the most knowledgeable psychic masters have a very limited understanding of it.
But the most important thing is that the occult theory of this world has determined that the psychic talent of an individual is fixed the moment he is born.
No matter how much you practice for the rest of your life, you will never be able to increase the upper limit of your psychic talent. You can only work harder on the technical level.
Just like how much water a bucket can hold is determined when it is created, the only thing that affects its weight is the state of the water in the bucket.
Murphy doesn't know whether his psychic talent is good or bad, but if he carefully considers his status as a marginalized person in the family, he can probably get a glimpse of it.
If he was really a genius, it would be impossible for him to be assigned two cannon fodder tasks in a row.
The bad reality makes people feel really uncomfortable.
This account is almost useless!
Murphy thought that if it weren't for the golden finger of the little players, and if there wasn't Tris, a useless monster girl, waiting for food at home, he would have the urge to delete his account and practice again.
Shaking his head to calm down, Murphy flipped through the thin sword manual in his hand again, not to swallow it all, but to carefully study the insights of the family genius when practicing swordsmanship through the handwriting of the eldest lady Juanxiu.
The eldest lady’s basic skills are really solid.
Although there are not many words, her notebook does record several key points about blood vulture swordsmanship, and she can also summarize them in simple and profound language.
Murphy felt uncomfortable again when he saw this.
Look at other people's talents, and then look at your own.
Alas, how about deleting your account and practicing again?
Just when he was thinking this, a line of prompts suddenly popped up on the translucent character card:
[Through repeated reading of Femis Cecilia Lesembra's swordsmanship manuals, the blood vulture swordsmanship skill proficiency has been greatly improved, and is currently "proficient".
hint!
The author of this book has a level of mastery of blood vulture swordsmanship as "proficient", so by reading this book and practicing, you can improve your swordsmanship skills to the limit of "proficient".]
[The blood vulture swordsmanship proficiency reaches "Proficient", and the [One-Handed Sword Control] talent is unlocked! The effect is that when using a one-handed weapon, the own attack speed is slightly increased. 】
[Because the blood vulture swordsmanship skills have reached "skilled", the main profession "blood vulture apprentice" can be transferred to "blood vulture swordsman", yes/no transfer? 】
