In order to celebrate that she had acquired the knowledge about the other world that she had longed for from Lumina, that little cutie, Mrs. Tracey decisively opened a bottle of "Frozen Moonlight", a special wine provided by the royal family, to celebrate her outstanding wisdom.
Although she didn't know what kind of surprise her warrior Lumina would bring to her, Tris had a hunch that she might soon be able to make an effective breakthrough in the alchemy path that she had stagnated for many years.
However, before she could drink this glass of good wine, the calculation orb she adorned on her bracelet made a rapid sound.
She lowered her head and saw that it was a communication invitation from Murphy.
"Hey, it's late at night, what can we say between a man and a woman? This little idiot."
Tris doesn't care.
But he still put down his wine glass and lazily activated the communication. Just as he was about to make a joke, he heard Murphy's weak voice over there:
"The Grand Duchess of Thorns is knocking on the door, come and get me."
"???"
Cuisi's eyes widened in an instant, and she suddenly stood up. With her fingers spread wide, the Serenade Scepter placed on the desk slid into her palm with a whoosh, and the scarlet midnight cloak was also embellished on her shoulders.
Although it is no longer the relationship between elder and heir, after hearing that little Murphy was beaten by another wild woman, an unknown anger was still instantly ignited in Tris's heart, and the peaceful scarlet light in her eyes also disappeared.
At this moment, it burned into a sharper and unruly flame.
Kill her!
A cold and vicious voice that she hadn't heard for more than a hundred years screamed in her head.
That's another one of her growling.
"Where did you come from, a wild woman! How dare you bully the little man in my family? You're embarrassed!"
"Shua"
In the beating of the angry fire, an extremely unstable scarlet crack was torn open by Tris, and then she strode into it, and appeared precisely in the area where Murphy's breath stayed in the next second.
This is a wild woodland south of Cadman City.
Obviously, Murphy did not intend for his little players to notice the scene of the Grand Duchess of Thorns beating him.
As a mainline NPC, the necessary face must be maintained at all times.
But the situation is not as bad as Tris imagined.
Although little Murphy was indeed in a state of embarrassment, thanks to the miraculous creation of Necessary Evil's determined counterattack, Murphy was not seriously injured even though he was stabbed several times.
The latter obviously had no intention of seriously injuring Murphy.
She might just want to capture this little guy in exchange for the imprisoned Earl of Baishan under her command.
Theoretically speaking, a gold-level blood clan archduke can capture a black-iron-level little vampire absolutely in an instant. The terrifying strength gap between the two sides makes it impossible for the latter to escape any tricks of the former.
But it's clear that Murphy is not part of the "norm."
He has used up three times of [Night Bat Transformation] tonight, and has avoided the dangerous restraints of the Grand Duchess of Thorns three times in a row, but this is the limit.
Faced with the attack of the latter's ghost-like female combat fist blades in his hands, Murphy could not even catch the opponent's movement track, let alone fight back.
He also saw for the first time the true essence of the "midnight assassination technique" that the Thorn clan is proud of.
This is simply a triple combination of female ninja + female Assassin + Valkyrie!
Speed, skill and destructive power are all fully utilized, and he is so elusive in Murphy's shadow that even if he soars in the sky with his blood wings, he is completely unable to avoid the Grand Duchess's dark night raid.
And this female Grand Duchess, like Andre, obviously has the strange power given by the blood of the North Wind of the Nords. Every time she attacks, Murphy's speed will be reduced by a large amount under the condensation of frost.
cut.
"Come here!"
Tris immediately cast the spell.
Under her control, the scarlet dark spiritual energy was like a dozen scratching ghost claws, covering the scene of Murphy and the female bus fighting in an instant.
She failed to reach the latter, but she pulled Murphy directly back to her side through the ghost claw covering.
This is obviously an advanced space psychic technique. It was thrown out by Tris with ease and it took effect in an instant. It also means that Tris has completely got rid of her previous weakness, allowing her to regain her original strength.
"Buzz"
The figure of the Grand Duchess of Thorns emerged from the scattered night shadows.
The combat fist blades in her hands were quietly recycled into a pair of exquisite women's hunting gloves decorated with lace. In a very decent manner, she moved her golden braids and tied them behind her ears. She raised her head and looked up into the air to spread her dragon wings.
The blood-winged Tris glared at her.
"Your Blood Eagle Clan is really interesting. The blade of the majestic patriarch was given to a little guy. I also smelled the desire fragments on him. I heard that your holy blood pool was also destroyed. In other words, Your Excellency
As a true patriarch, he doesn’t even have a certificate of being a grand duke.
If this is spread, Old Edward will definitely make it into a joke and spread it widely in our circle."
"This is much better than the majestic Grand Duke of Thorns sneaking into my territory like a thief and trying to capture my followers, but he lost his hands on a little guy with black iron steps."
Cuisi retorted:
"After the eternal silence of Patriarch Oksana, you thorn walkers are really inferior to each other. What about Sophie? Why did my Sophie sister fall into the tragic eternal silence?"
There is no impression of the woman in front of her in Tris's memory.
But the latter is indeed the Grand Duchess of the Thorn Clan, which means that the old clan leader Tris is familiar with must have had an accident.
Faced with Tris's inquiry, the current Grand Duke of Thorns shrugged and said in a relaxed tone:
"Grand Duke Sophie was on the wrong side of the Cold Moon Coup thirty years ago. Although it is a pity, for the sake of the prosperity of the family, we loyal heirs had to bear the pain of watching her death to the protective monks of the Winter Wolf Church.
Under siege, he fell into the arms of Mother Night.
You look like an old-timer, so let me, a young man, introduce me to you.
My name is Anastasia Shani Romanov Toridze.
You can call me Shani."
The Grand Duchess of Thorns looks generous and graceful, with her unique double braids and a sense of tenderness like the big sister of the neighbor's wife, but she is definitely not an economical person. She is just an "old-timer" in one sentence.
" and "young people" viciously ridiculed Tris's age.
Although there is no need to mention age in front of immortal species like vampires, as a woman, this is definitely a topic that cannot be touched.
Tris understood the sarcasm of the guy in front of her.
The fire in her heart was raging more intensely, but then she realized that she was talking to a jealous person who could manipulate emotions, and her emotional changes at this time were definitely not normal!
She immediately pinched her fingers to release psychic energy to seal her mind, causing the Grand Duchess Shani below to blink, a trace of regret flashing in her gray-blue eyes.
it's a pity.
It was almost enough to ignite the anger in this old woman's heart.
It's really just a little bit off.
Well, he is indeed an old-timer, he looks difficult to deal with.
"Trace Cavendina Jia Lorraine Lesembra, you should have heard of this name, if my poor Sophie really trusted you before you launched your betrayal."
Tris slapped her huge blood descendant and slowly fell.
Murphy behind her also suppressed his fluctuating emotions and followed her down, holding the Demonic Blade of Desire to guard Tris.
She introduced herself, and the Grand Duchess of Thorns in front of her showed a surprised expression. She said:
"A ghost that has been dead for more than a hundred years has crawled out of the tomb again? Grand Duke Sophie has mentioned you many times. She said that you are her only few friends and the people of the same clan whom she admires. Your Blood Vulture Clan
It's really different.
This is true whether you are a clan leader or a count."
"You seem to be different too, Shani."
Tris narrowed her eyes and looked at the unkind woman in front of her.
Her ancient memories were tumbling, and soon she found a clue in the face of Grand Duchess Shani, so she asked calmly:
"What is the relationship between the 'Hero King' Boris, who resisted the second black plague and then captured the North Wind Castle and established the Kingdom of Nordtof, and you? Your eyes and facial contours remind me of him, and the way you speak
The unique flicking tongue has a weird ending of curling tongue.
It’s exactly the same.”
"What an amazing old man, and he is actually an 'ancient one'."
Grand Duchess Shani doesn't care at all about Tris finding out about her background. In a society like vampires, where lifespans are often hundreds of years, you need to have such a big heart to live a personal life.
Things like you brag to others about legends from hundreds of years ago, and then a vampire calls you nonsense because he was watching when it happened. Things like this happen almost every day in vampire society.
time!
This cold thing means nothing to these immortals in the night, just as every official member of every family is a walking history book.
Therefore, facing Tris's question, Grand Duchess Shani admitted openly:
"I am the youngest daughter of the Hero King Boris. I was born in the cold wind of winter in the second month after my father led the army to attack the North Wind Castle in 740 AD. I should have spent my life as a happy princess.
's life.
However, when I was 40 years old, my father died in a border war, and the kingdom he left behind was seized by powerful officials.
It was also at that time that I was picked up by Ms. Sophie and became a member of the Thorn Walkers.
Having said this, I think you can understand why I want to 'bully' a young man like Count Cadman as a Grand Duke.
This is not a biracial matter, Ms. Tracey.
This is just a personal grudge!
It's a parent who sees his great-great-grandson being put in a cage by outsiders and comes to give his weak child a place, that's all."
Murphy and Tris were both speechless at what they said.
All right.
The blonde woman cunningly changed the concept and turned her invasion of the blood vulture's territory into a personal grudge. However, there was indeed a blood connection between the two people who were more than three hundred years apart.
Murphy probably knew where the Earl of White Mountain's eloquence when he threatened him came from.
He stared at the blond woman in front of him who was smiling but very dangerous. He found that the woman's slender tongue was really flexible.
However, Tris was already focused on another thing at this time.
She is a historian.
Although he is not specialized in human history, he is very familiar with some details of the founding of the Nordtov Kingdom due to his own experience.
The information revealed by Grand Duke Shani was not much, but it was enough for Tris to figure out the real reason why her old friend Grand Duke Sophie died forever and the real situation of the Nordtov Kingdom at this time.
She looked at Shani with a "terrible" expression and said:
“So, you were behind the ‘Hangyue Coup’ that took place in the Kingdom of Nordtov thirty years ago? Did you allow the direct bloodline of Hero King Boris to regain control of the Far North after 300 years?
It is widely rumored that the Thorn Clan and the Kingdom of Nordtof have been deeply bound, but this rumor is wrong!
You have taken control of that country!
No!
Is it you, your unique vampire patriarch, who has taken control of Nordtorf and expanded Midnight Shadows to the entire wilderness?
You are playing with fire!"
"If you mean that I violated the Vampire Clan's code of escaping from the world, then you can rest. What era are these old almanacs from?"
Shani still maintained her elegant expression, waving her hands in a lazy manner like a palace lady. She played with her braids and looked at Tris again, with a trace of light floating in her gray-blue eyes.
Ruthless and indifferent.
she says:
"The reason why I tell you this is to convey to you the last message from your old friend Grand Duke Sophie.
I gave my elders a chance!
But she stubbornly sided with the rebels of the Rurik dynasty. I couldn't understand what kind of benefits they gave her to make her make stupid decisions that were completely inconsistent with the wisdom of a vampire. But unfortunately, I and I
The elders have irreconcilable conflicts in this regard.
This is not a personal grudge.
They just have different choices, so I hope that in the next contact between the Thorn Clan and the Blood Vulture Clan, both of us will not bring too much into our personal emotions.
What do you think? Grand Duke Tris."
"Because you don't understand, because Sophie's true love and soulmate is the second king of the Rurik dynasty."
Tris whispered:
"It was a love that was not blessed by everyone, as irreconcilable as midnight and the blazing sun, but it was real and even got the blessing of that lunatic Palano. Sophie, who always claimed that she was extremely cold-blooded, finally
Still fulfilled her loyalty to love.
Faced with the threat of eternal silence, she still chose to protect the heirs left by her lover.
It's so silly and romantic.
Well, my poor old friend, may her soul rest in peace at midnight."
"etc!"
Now it was Shani's turn to look strange.
She rubbed her eyebrows and said in a strange tone:
"The second king of the Rurik dynasty is a woman, right? Nicknamed the 'Blood Queen', she is a queen with a violent personality but outstanding appearance, as is Grand Duke Sophie. So, what you are saying is that my elder is actually a
Bit.
No!
This is impossible!
She obviously has several lovers in the family!
I even reluctantly executed those elite members of the Silver-level family and all their heirs and blood servants because of this."
"Congratulations on killing the wrong person, Shani."
Tris said in a faint tone:
"That's just a trick used by Sophie to disguise her true feelings. Before she got married to that queen, she pursued me. It's really shocking to think about it, but I advise you to treat this as the last fight between your elder and you.
Just a joke.
That bastard Sophie liked to make jokes like this, and my other old friend Lily, who has passed away, often had some conflicts with her because of this.
We were three sisters of similar age and equal strength."
"Pfft"
Murphy, who was standing next to him with a sword and a serious guard, couldn't help laughing, but was given a fierce look by Grand Duchess Shani.
"If the reminiscing phase between the two old timers is over, then we might as well talk about business?"
Seeing the confused silence between Tris and Shani, Murphy coughed, took back the Demonic Sword of Desire at his waist, and said to Grand Duke Shani:
"The so-called stuffing your descendant into a cage is just an exaggeration. In fact, he is currently staying in the blood vulture corridor and enjoying the treatment of a distinguished guest. I just want to use this method to attract a sufficiently important person.
Guests, in order to complete the contact between the two parties.
I just didn't expect you to come here.
This is just right. Please come with me, Grand Duke.
Not only the Blood Vulture Clan and the Thorn Clan have some things to communicate, but there are also many troublesome things between the Transia region and the Nordtof Kingdom that need to be resolved immediately."
"Yes, Shani."
Tris waved the Serenade Staff to open a psychic teleportation door to the Blood Vulture Corridor, and she invited:
"Perhaps you have heard about the disaster that happened to the Blood Vulture Clan, but believe me, what you have heard is just a little bit. What happened to this land in the past period of time is beyond your imagination.
I believe you have also heard the rumors about the coming Black Disaster from Lord Paliano.
We have a lot to talk about between us on this point.
If you are not very busy, maybe you can stay in our territory for a few more days. I believe you will like it here."
"OK."
Mrs. Shani moved her braid and happily accepted Tris's invitation.
Watching the two Grand Duchess, who had different styles but definitely had their own merits, stepped into the psychic teleportation, Murphy rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes.
Although I got beaten up, it’s not a bad thing!
Just now I was thinking about what reasons should be used to release a batch of test quotas. Look, isn't this "random event" the best reason now?
The old aunt from the NPC family next door came to visit, and she is also one of the important figures in the vampire system. If this does not encourage the young players to quickly increase their favorability, it will be a waste of my reputation as a "dog planner".
