Chapter 339 338. Murphy’s self-reward - additional updates for the "Pink Cat and Rabbit mk2" brothers [1415]
Natalie gave up the opportunity to become the Holy Grail Knight of the Forest Mother to the Knight of Valander.
She didn't make a decision on the spur of the moment. It was obvious that the Black-Hearted Witch Hunter also had some thoughts of her own. After confirming that the Holy Grail used by the mountain people came from Avalon, Natalie was convinced that she wanted to
Methods to make up for the persecution and misunderstanding of the mountain people by the old religion in the past hundreds of years.
Although Lord Murphy's suggestion of drinking holy water directly and becoming the Holy Grail Knight of the Mother of the Forest is indeed a very simple and effective way, it is also difficult to bring the first Holy Grail Knight among them to the mountain people through Natalie's hands.
It can achieve the same effect without disturbing your career plan.
Facts have proved that the various suggestions given by Kudel, the real Holy Grail Knight, are very effective.
After Knight Valander drank a cup full of holy water, he had frequent visions.
First, the cool wind suddenly blew through the trees, rustling the branches, and then large swaths of emerald green light flew out from the surrounding quiet forest, dotting the entire ancient ritual scene like fireflies.
Amidst the exclamations of the mountain people, various animals from the forest also poked their heads in.
In particular, a stag with huge and magnificent sword-like antlers walked gracefully through the forest. Maybe he was just walking and heard a ghost in front of him, so he poked his head to take a look, but this group of superstitious guys took it away.
Taking it as an auspicious sign, he shouted and danced around the sword stag, making the handsome stag look helpless.
But there are more changes in Wallander.
The already tall body of the Cangjiu Knight expanded as if it had been blown out, allowing his height to exceed the terrifying three meters in a dozen seconds, making him a "giant" in the true sense of the word.
But this is not something that is difficult for the mountain people to understand. Their mountain forest is close to the Ice Bay and they occasionally go there to do business with the tribe of the Western Sabarians. The height of three meters is an out-and-out miracle among humans. However,
It is nothing among the barbarian tribes living in the bitter cold land.
As long as the barbarian warriors there can successfully survive to adulthood, all of them will have such a height and physique.
It is for this reason that the groups of Western barbarian bandits in the Western Desert in the northern border of the Nordtov Kingdom become the biggest trouble for the Yankees.
But the changes in the body of the Vulture Knight were only the most insignificant manifestation of the strange things that happened to him. In the eyes of people like Old Eugene and Sister Marianne who are very sensitive to natural spiritual energy, the Knight of Wallander was in this moment.
It almost completely became a humanoid "spiritual tank".
Countless amounts of pure spiritual energy were constantly integrated into his body, making his vitality thicker, allowing his strength to break through limits, allowing his injuries to be healed, and allowing his soul to gain faith from the gods.
Armed.
"Although the Holy Grail Knights use different Holy Grails, their power usage is very different, but there are some characteristics we share."
Kudel, another Holy Grail Knight present, was like a classic "live commentator" character. He watched the Valander Knight become stronger with every breath, and softly explained to the people around him:
"The Knights of the Holy Grail are born with an oath. Without breaking the oath, our resistance to swords and blunt instruments will be raised to the extreme. Ordinary weapons will no longer be able to harm us, and those evil and filthy powers will have a negative impact on our spirit.
Erosion will also be completely offset.
For example, I can still maintain basic sanity after facing the call of subspace.
In addition, the Holy Grail Knight will also be given some wonderful talents, such as I can sense all life in need of help, and the Valander Knight will also be given similar powers by the Mother of the Forest after taking an oath.
That is an extension of the vows we take.
This enhancement will not change the absolute strength of the Holy Grail Knights, but each Holy Grail Knight will be the most difficult to kill warrior in the material world. When we appear on the battlefield, it means that the enemy's nightmare is coming.
They really should cheer.
A fearless guardian of this forest has been born, and no evil can pass the Knight of the Goshawk to corrupt his people."
"What a stupid choice. It would be good for all of us if Natalie became a Knight of the Holy Grail."
Murphy was not very satisfied with this change, but he could only accept the scene before him.
He whispered:
"Natalie could have used this opportunity to become a saint, and she could have become the leader who truly took over Old Finock's banner, but she gave up on her own. I must believe that her growth rate is still far from what Old Finock desires.
the extent of seeing.
Her pursuit of ideals and justice has made her pedantic. Avalon will not care about these small things. No matter which path she chooses, she will be Avalon's good baby."
"I think little Natalie's choice is the right one."
Aunt Marian retorted:
"Although we and the mountain people believe in the same god, our paths are not consistent with each other. If Natalie abandons her faith for power, she will only disappoint my god. This may also come from Ava.
Long's Trial
I'm so happy to see Natalie pass it.
look!
The Oak Blade is also celebrating Natalie."
Looking along Sister Marianne's fingers, Natalie was pulling the Watcher out of the ground. The connection between the holy blade in her hand was indeed much more active than before, and the inscriptions on the sword seemed to be dancing and flowing.
and cheer for his own sword-bearer.
"But are you sure that sword is celebratory?"
Murphy complained:
"It is said that the sword has a foul mouth. I suspect it is also shouting that Natalie is a fool and a fool. I think the probability is not low."
"Well, it is indeed possible. Lord Watcher always does not hide his extreme views on the world and always speaks his mind."
Old Eugene shamelessly congratulated his sacred object, and then grinned. This sincere man's eyes were red and his heart was pounding because he had witnessed the miracle given by God Avalon. He looked at the surrounding mountains and forests,
explain:
"It seems we should build an Avalon Temple here."
During the conversation, the job transfer ceremony belonging to the Vulture Knight slowly came to an end. After the last ray of green wind wrapped around the body dissipated, an "enhanced version of the power" of the Mountain Knight appeared in front of everyone.
The hussar armor on the Vulture Knight no longer fits, but the blessing from the Holy Grail allows him to have a set of wooden battle armor that is very similar to the sacred oak armor of old Finoch, which looks different when paired with his giant-like figure.
He was so angry that he even had a two-handed warhammer intertwined with green vines in his hand.
This probably falls into the category of "godly weapons".
Murphy quickly threw a reconnaissance technique at it, and the information fed back opened his eyes:
Name: [Forest Saint] Valander ‘The Vulture’ Offul
Rank: Level 30·Silver Body·Leader
Occupation: Level 20 Heavy Hussars/Master Carpenter
Oath Keeper Profession: Level 1 Holy Grail Knight [Heart of the Forest]
Status: Holy Grail Arms·Forest Healing·Holy Conquest·Purification Power
Rating: Extremely Dangerous·Friendly
"His Holy Grail Knight faction is the 'Heart of the Forest', but yours is just a 'Classical Holy Grail Knight'. I think the difference between the two is not just in the name, right?"
Murphy turned to look at Kudel, and the tribune explained briefly:
"That's the difference caused by the different carriers of the oath. The orthodox name of my faction should be 'Guardians of Justice'. It's just because I was changed from a human to a vampire, which caused some unspeakable changes in my oath.
But what is certain is that I am still an Oath Keeper.
The power of the Holy Grail still flows within me.
However, your reconnaissance skills that can directly see through other people’s professional factions are beyond my expectations. Your warriors seem to have the same ability?"
"Well, you can understand it as 'blessing from another world'."
Murphy blinked and said mysteriously:
"I can see through more than just your profession. My eyes can see many things hidden beneath the surface. Well, little Sharon is here. She seems to have something to say to me."
The vampire lord ended his conversation with Kudel. He put on a gentle smile and looked at the approaching little Sharon.
Not to mention, this little vampire put on the traditional clothing of the forest, making her look just like the "elf" in the woodland. However, after Earl Sharon handed something with both hands, Murphy's expression changed.
.
He looked at a booklet that was brought to him and asked:
"What's this?"
"A roster of all Hillman tribesmen throughout the Seco Glade."
Sharon blinked her bloody eyes and said to Murphy:
"We made the statistics on a temporary basis, and there may be some oversights, but I think as a ruler, you should be able to understand the meaning of us handing it over to you. It took me a lot of effort to convince those stubborn elders,
This may be thanks to the imminent threat of the Black Disaster, and they also have their own channels to observe the changes in the entire Transia.
After seeing you and your Crimson Keep defeat the Gnoll Warlord, even the most stubborn mountain folk can understand the truth that is before everyone.
That means this land has a new owner!
You are more powerful than other vampires.
You can lead us to continue to exist despite the threat of the black disaster, and even lead us to an unprecedented era of prosperity.
Lord Murphy, what I want to entrust to you is not only the loyalty of Xi Ke Woodland, but also a heavy responsibility, but I believe that you are different from all the monarchs that have existed on this land before.
Even though I am a faithless vampire, I have begun to believe that this is the guidance of fate."
Little Sharon, who is always laughing and joking, had a very serious expression when she said these words, which proved that she was not talking to Murphy as Sandra Sharon Sicomaire, but as Count Sicco.
Expressing the will of this mountain forest to Murphy.
As a result, Murphy's posture became serious.
He took the roster from Sharon with both hands and made a very serious promise:
"I cannot guarantee that we will survive the Black Disaster, but I can swear to you that no enemy will set foot on your ancestral forest before Scarlet Castle is engulfed by the disaster.
Even if everyone is going to die in this disaster, I can honestly confirm that I will die before you!"
"Well, I thought you would say something like we will win to encourage people."
Little Earl Sharon winked.
But then she grinned and said:
"But such an overly true statement can make people more convincing. Then, Governor Murphy, the future of this forest is entrusted to you."
"Shua"
The moment Sharon took her hand away from the roster, a message appeared on the character interface in front of Murphy that made the Vampire Governor almost jump in place with joy:
[Tips for obtaining new strongholds in the territory! The Viceroyalty of Transia has added a new subordinate administrative unit, ‘Ancestral Woodland’, which includes 146 territorial settlements!
The number of included residents is 72,454.
hint!
The Ancestral Forest is a special administrative unit and has a completely different management model from the basic administrative unit of Transia. It is recommended that the corresponding manager be appointed as soon as possible.
The current available managers are]
Murphy didn't look down at all.
The inclusion reminder of 70,000 people was enough for him to understand what a rich gift little Sharon had just given him.
This means that Murphy has 724 more player quotas in an instant, allowing him to no longer have to worry about the issuance of test quotas for a long time to come.
This made the vampire feel satisfaction and joy from the heart. This joy was second only to the feeling when he led the players to defeat Salokdar and confessed to Tris and was not rejected. It also made Murphy sigh that today is his.
On the lucky day, I was severely rewarded by fate without any expectation.
Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the smiling little Sharon in front of him, and handed her the roster again under the surprised gaze of the other party.
The vampire governor said softly:
"In the past many years, this forestland has been protected by the Sicomaire family, and the mountain people have long been accustomed to living under your leadership.
Although I claim control of all of Transia, I have no intention of disturbing your simple but contented lifestyle.
Managing mountain people is not the same as managing other people, and you are the best manager I could find.
Therefore, Ms. Sharon, Earl of Siko, as the governor of Transia, I appoint you as the ‘leader of the mountain people’, and please continue to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the Sikomaier family to the ancestral mountains and forests.
No matter what you need to improve the lives of the people under your command, you can apply to Scarlet Castle and we will do our best to meet it."
"Wow! In terms of power distribution, you are really too generous. I heard you said more than once that all you want is victory, and everything else is allowed.
It was somewhat exaggerated when I first heard it, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Xiao Sharon complained:
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to persuade those elders so earnestly."
"No, it's still different."
Murphy smiled. He noticed that when he returned the roster to Sharon, the mountain elders around him were obviously relieved.
These unique populations are indeed incompatible with the outside world. Not only do managers have a headache about how to arrange their new lives, but the mountain people themselves are also resistant to changes in the outside world.
At least for now, the development of Transia is far from attractive enough for these traditional people to leave their hometown.
"There are still many mountain people displaced in the Sax area that has been occupied by the Plantagenet Kingdom."
Murphy said to little Sharon:
"Three mountain people wars occurred during the Ten Years' War. King Louis' desire for rule forced many innocent people to stay away from their hometowns. The mountains of Xiko and the forests of Sachs are connected together, so if possible, Xiaoxue
Ren, I hope that the mountain elders under your command can invite more homeless people to live in Transia.
I promise you, whether they want to live in the mountains or not, I will give them official status and protection from the Scarlet Keep."
"This is a bit difficult, especially when the black disaster is coming."
Sharon said a little embarrassed:
"Just because the mountain people are stubborn doesn't mean they are stupid. No one will come and settle in Transia at this time, a place that will definitely become the front line of the war.
But if we can really withstand the gnoll attack, then your promise will be very attractive to the poor exiles in the Sachs area, and I can convince the elders to send people across the border to recruit more compatriots.
After all, the mountain people still can't break away from their woodland life, and more than one-third of the forestland in the Sachs area has been destroyed. But if they really come over, you will instantly have hundreds of thousands more people to eat. Do you really think so?
Can you afford to support so many people?”
"That's all I need to worry about."
Murphy put his hand on Little Earl Sharon's shoulder. He looked at the surrounding woodlands that surprised him and said:
"For things like population, at this stage, the more the better."
He originally wanted to discuss the population of the mountain people with Sharon a few more words, but a few seconds later, another new tip disrupted Murphy's thinking. This tip came from Bataxin, a small town in the east of Transia:
[New citizens acquisition tips! Batacin City, an administrative unit under the Viceroyalty of Transia, has included 6519 new citizens! 】
"Huh!"
Murphy blinked in surprise:
"The armed blood servants repatriated from the Nordtov Kingdom have entered my territory. Ha, there are 65 places again. Today is a double happiness. Okay! Okay! My flesh has become stronger after being repeatedly beaten by life. Q
Well, after torturing me thousands of times, fate, this bitch, finally knew that she cared for me.
