It was five minutes before Murphy and Maxim came out of the living room.
Because he couldn't control the intensity when using "Time Exile" for the first time, Murphy made himself extremely exhausted.
After all, the casting resource of this spell is not psychic energy, but the user's "energy bar". Murphy is obviously an energetic vampire, so poor Maxim had to relive the five minutes he spent as a baby.
What's even more terrifying is that Maxim was completely conscious during these five minutes.
When he "relearned" to crawl, he finally returned to his normal body shape from that embarrassing state. However, regarding his new pair of pants and clothes, General Maxim refused to explain more with a straight face.
.
Murphy also changed his clothes, but he asked for it.
"What an evil force!"
Maxim's loyalty did not allow him to speak nonsense to his master, but he still sighed with a straight face and said:
"But I have to admit that such power means that you no longer have to fear any threats that try to get close to you for assassination. However, I still have to say that it is inhumane to use such a spell on your own servants, Master.
If you want to punish me, you can just pick up the whip."
"I've already apologized. Oh my gosh, Mark, looking at my good clothes that you ruined, can't you be more generous and pretend that what just happened didn't happen?"
Murphy rubbed his sore forehead and complained.
Maxim, who has always been introverted, refuted Murphy for the first time at this moment and said:
"It's easy for you to say. It's not you, the Midnight Mother, who is incontinent. My glory and the way I persisted as a warrior were all ruined by those five minutes. From this point of view, your new power can definitely deal with
The enemy inflicts a terrible double blow on body and soul.
Please use it with caution."
"I promise, there won't be a next time."
Murphy waved his hands and leaned against the wall next to him, letting his bottomed energy bar slowly recover. He asked:
"So, how are your troops prepared? Can they enter the swamp now?"
"Um!"
When it came to business, Maxim's attitude immediately changed to serious. He said:
"The three thousand trained soldiers and three thousand new recruits of the People's Army are ready to move forward. I have obtained the entire record of the Battle of Plague Town from Adele.
I noticed that during the bombing operation called "Path of Ashes", our warriors launched a deadly and efficient bombing on the Skeleton Army's command node, but this bombing only destroyed the Skeleton Army's command node.
A huge number of undead are roaming throughout the Foul Swamp, and the Plague Clan still has garrisons in the other two swamp psychic nodes except Plague Town.
Now that Plague Town, which is currently blocking our progress, has been conquered, I make a request that I will lead the soldiers into the swamp and carry out the next step forward for your plan!
Within thirty days, we will pass through the Filthy Swamp and join the defense line of the Blood Alliance Knights on the Barren Mountains, so as to push the Transian resistance line against the Gnolls into their territory.
This will be a test of the hearts and wills of the soldiers, but I believe that as long as they can reach the Barren Mountains by fighting on their own, then they will become the most elite defense force in Transia!"
"Very good, a very good plan. I agree and you can implement it."
Murphy nodded and said:
"But you need to take the Plantagenets forward with you, at least one of their vanguards and their artillery. I know you have objections to the Pioneer Legion. I actually don't like them either, but if they are willing to fight in the Black Catastrophe War,
If they become our allies, then they are trustworthy.
After you set off, the Brotherhood of Masons will allocate a professional team to build roads in the swamp. Therefore, when you advance, you will also be responsible for cutting down the trees along the way and clearing a path that does not need to be very wide, but at least allows the hussars and ordinary cavalry to pass
The road to pass quickly.
Adele’s upcoming ‘return home’ operation will plan the route for you in advance, you just need to follow the road signs they left.”
"Well, it will slow down the march, but I think my army will be fine!"
Maxim said in an extremely low tone:
"When I returned to Scarlet Castle, Lord Kudel, who was stationed at the Maginot Line, asked me to bring you a message. He asked me to convey to you that the construction process of the defense line was going well. The second snow fell in Transia.
Before that, they could complete the basic construction of the surface fortifications of the defense line.
However, Lord Kudel also requests that you find a dwarf priest who can apply the power of the earth to the defense line as soon as possible, otherwise the defense line we have worked so hard to build will collapse overnight under the enemy's fossil-to-mud spell."
"I have contacted the Silver Dwarf about this matter."
Murphy put his hands behind his back, moved forward steadily with the demeanor that a ruler should have, and responded:
"Marshal Loren told me that in a week, a group of ten Earth Priests will set off with the supply team of the Plantagenet Vanguard Army. They will arrive at the Maginot Line in fifteen days at the latest.
Kudel doesn't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it for them.
Are there any other military issues you need my help with? I know nothing about the military, but I can at least help you with logistical issues.
We have plenty of resources now, so if you need anything, just ask.
Don't wait until the war actually starts before you come to me, because then I won't be able to help you with supplies quickly even with all my abilities."
"No more, Master."
Maxim shook his head and said:
"The firearms we need have to be slowly produced by the arsenal. This is something that cannot be rushed, but I firmly believe that even without muskets and bullets, our soldiers can fight against the gnolls.
However, something happened at the People's Army station in recent days that you need to know. General Baldwin of the Winter Wolf Legion sent a messenger, saying that he can release some of the armed blood servants of the Crimean Fortress to us.
I personally went to the Crimean Fortress and talked to those blood servants.
They may not be loyal to our new regime, but they are unwilling to serve the Yankees, and I think these are the people to win over, Master.
The armed blood servants stationed in the Crimean Fortress are different from the blood servants in other places. They are truly the best of the best! They can be directly brought to the battlefield without much training, and their fighting will is not bad."
"They cannot be directly incorporated into combat troops, Mark. I would rather not have them than let the army we finally built return to the era of blood servants."
Murphy rejected it outright, but then he thought for a moment and said:
"Reply to General Baldwin on my behalf that we can take over those blood servants and are willing to pay a certain ransom for them, so that he can send them to the Maginot Line.
Let them work first.
I believe that this kind of labor reform can help us distinguish who is available and who has evil intentions, and there is indeed a shortage of people at Happy Bar."
Maxim nodded.
He originally had a lot to report when he came back this time, but seeing that Murphy was exhausted and rubbing his eyebrows at this time, the loyal servant decided to transfer those complicated matters to the consul for handling.
He wanted to persuade Murphy to go back and rest, but when the two of them walked near the office, Grand Duke Tris rushed out of the black-smoking laboratory carrying a jar of emerald-green alchemical medicine.
She herself was covered in black ash from the smoke, and when she saw Murphy, she complained:
"Isn't your Astral Guardian Infinity, Mannis, a bad guy? But I think it is too honest this time! We just need it to harm Orr's toxin to mix the potion, and in the end, it even integrated its own astral power.
The toxins came over.
That bastard's generosity almost made me blow up my lab.
I now suspect that the guy who can travel freely in the long river of time definitely did it on purpose!"
"But what about the potion?"
Murphy looked at the green medicine in Tris's hand and asked:
"Has it been configured?"
"Of course, it's just an antidote. There is no technical difficulty. Apart from preventing the power of the Endless One from harming me, I can complete the other steps with my eyes closed."
While Tris wiped her cheeks with a lightly scented handkerchief, she looked at Murphy up and down. After confirming that her little cutie had initially mastered the power of Mannis and recovered from the aging to be young and handsome, she nodded with satisfaction.
.
After cleaning up the black dust on her body, she reached out to touch the white hair on Murphy's left temple. She frowned and said:
“Are these irrecoverable?”
"No, it can be restored, but it's not necessary."
Murphy grinned and said coquettishly:
"Don't you think adding a strand of white hair to my black hair would look like a 'story'?"
"Well, I don't see many stories on your youthful and beautiful face, but there must be some accidents revealed by this strand of white hair."
Tris rolled her eyes cutely, shook her head and said:
"Let's go, settle Orr's matter, and send Maxim back to his camp."
"I don't need to use the astral teleportation anymore, Mrs. Tris. The flight route of the Wind Vulture that the mountain people just set up is very convenient. Even if I don't take the Wind Vulture, it only takes an hour or two for me to fly back."
Maxim, a close combatant, always has a deep-rooted distrust of astral teleportation, not to mention that there are many young players who have encountered teleportation accidents.
But this time Murphy waved his hand very grandly and said:
"Don't worry, Mark, we have people in the Star Boundary now! Even if we accidentally enter it, Mannis will send it out safely, and there will no longer be the problem of getting lost in the Star Boundary for no reason. Well, maybe I should make it
Become an 'Easter Egg'.
This is an insurance policy for those famous unlucky people who have trouble with teleportation."
——
There was nothing wrong with Tris' teleportation this time, and the three of them arrived at Wolf Castle smoothly.
The industrious kobolds have almost cleaned up the place. Unfortunately, the Warlock Tower was completely destroyed. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Plantagenet Kingdom's artillery, only three points of the tower that was attacked by Orr are now left.
One of the heights is intact, the remaining parts need to be "renovated".
But this is actually a good thing for some guys.
For example, Lord Helu, the proud psychic investigator, was wearing his most luxurious robe and standing in front of the wreckage of the Warlock Tower. He looked at the Wizard Tower in front of him with great satisfaction, waiting for repair, and his eyes were full of expectations for the future.
expectations.
Although Tris had previously invited Helu to serve as the presiding psionic master in the auxiliary tower of the Midnight Tower that would be completed in a month, Helu repeatedly compared his own strength and discussed it with his aunt Amber.
After playing it a few times, I felt that my own strength was really poor. Not to mention the local NPCs, the first-tier psionic masters among the players now surpassed him in terms of destructive power.
Therefore, Helu rejected Mrs. Tracey's invitation with great self-knowledge.
He will indeed have a mage tower of his own to "glorify his ancestors", but he chose Wolf's Castle as his mage tower.
He used the restored tall tower of the abandoned Warlock Tower as his base. While staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he could also avoid malicious competition from his "peers" and create an extraordinary image of a "hermit" to bluff people.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Moreover, Heru also received authorization from the eldest lady, so that he can recruit students with the talent for investigative psionic powers in Wolfsburg, and continuously cultivate professional investigative psionicists for Transia.
To this end, Archon Miriam held a small investiture ceremony after the first snow fell, conferring the identity and title of the "Pioneering Baron" of Transia on Master Heru, who was about to travel to the swamp.
Although there is no fiefdom, Helu is very satisfied with his current situation.
He knew that as long as he successfully survived the black disaster, he would be able to realize his simple wish when he left his hometown and truly honor his ancestors.
However, Master Helu also has a mission in Wolfsburg.
He must complete the construction of the semi-permanent portal from Wolf Castle to Scarlet Castle within a month. Mrs. Tris and the eldest lady provided him with all the materials, but this workload is also difficult for Helu without the help of apprentices.
The pressure is great.
What?
You said Heru had an apprentice?
Yes, he did have Yan Sang as his apprentice. However, Helu himself had not seen Yan Sang for almost thirty days. That bitch wandered off to who knows where and didn't even write a letter. Yan Sang was heartbroken.
Obviously, I no longer have a mentor like myself.
Alas, the teacher is so unfortunate.
"Huh? Lord Murphy, Grand Duke Tris, and General Maxim? Are you here?"
Helu quickly sensed the psychic vibration nearby. He held his cane vigilantly, but soon discovered that the person coming was one of his own. He approached without force and got close to him, and then as expected, he was beaten by Mo.
Fei captured the young man.
"You use your psychic hands to help us apply these potions to Orr's wounds. Don't be afraid, Orr will not bite you. I have made an agreement with it, and it knows that we are treating it.
It will endure the pain."
After Murphy diluted the potion brought by Tris with ten to one water, he handed one of the jars to Helu. The weak investigator looked at the giant swamp snake with bigger eyes than others and wanted to give him a few.
Mouth.
Can I ask more about Mr. Murphy?
look!
Talking too much got me into this predicament.
That is the legendary giant snake!
He didn't even need to bite himself with his teeth, just activating the blinding spell of the gem scales was enough for him to drink a pot. Seeing Helu's timid appearance, Murphy shrugged, leaned over and said to Helu's ear.
A few words.
When he heard that the giant snake might give him some "lost treasures", the panic in Helu's heart was immediately driven away by the joy that he might gain.
He happily followed Maxim around to the back of the giant snake, and began to use his psychic hands to apply the medicine to Orr's seriously injured back.
"We only need to neutralize the time poison that Mannis left in Orr's body, and with the self-healing ability of legendary creatures, we don't need to worry about the rest."
Tris flew in the air, using the magic of water mist to continuously blend the potion into the giant snake's huge wound, and said to Murphy:
"But the power of Mannis's venom is really terrifying. I think you can ask for more from it. I will prepare special sword oil for you. If even a poison master like Ninkinanka can't resist the toxin erosion of the Endless One,
, which means that that kind of poison will be effective on most life in the material world.
Time.
Time is the most poisonous substance in the world, bar none."
"If its poison is really that terrifying, what I need to worry about is not whether anyone can escape from my sword, Tris."
Murphy obviously thought of more, he sighed and said:
"Weapons that can carry that kind of poison are rare in the world. Except for necessary evils, I can hardly use it on other weapons. Speaking of which, after reviving Orr, we can stop by the personal arsenal in the exhibition hall.
have a look.
There are also 48 sets of personal defense equipment there.
I’m very curious about the unique effects of the weapons and protective equipment produced by the machinery left by the Creator. By the way, we can enjoy the curator’s private bathroom and experience the future life created by the Creator.”
"Um?"
Tris glanced at Murphy and said:
"But that's a single bathroom. Ah, I get it, you little bastard!"
The two were flirting in the air as if no one was watching. Helu looked up frequently when he saw this scene. As a member who is not a member of Transia's senior management, Helu's understanding of the relationship topics between Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Tracey was limited to going crazy.
All kinds of rumors spread.
But looking at this scene now, I guess those rumors are not groundless.
Just when he was thinking about some "dangerous" thoughts, the giant snake lying below for treatment suddenly let out an exciting hiss, and suddenly stood up without any response from Helu. The earth shook as the giant beast woke up.
Heru screamed as he fell into the quagmire, and Orr, who had been expelled from the poison, seemed to come to life all of a sudden.
As a swamp spirit, it can finally draw vitality from the surrounding environment to heal itself. Although it still hurts, the feeling of rebirth makes the giant snake extremely happy.
Even the little Cavendina on its head made a childish squealing sound.
By the way, this little giant snake grows really fast. It only took three days after it emerged from its shell to reach the height of half a person. However, compared with Orr's terrifying size, it is still a little noob.
"Listen, Orr is thanking us."
Murphy hovered in the air, holding Tris in his arms and whispered:
"It can finally let go of its grudges. Do you think, if we tell Lord Paying about Orr's story, will he feel sad and regretful for killing Orr's spouse a thousand years ago?"
"Most likely not."
Tris shook her head and said:
"There is no word 'regret' in the Lord's character. Although we don't know what happened here thousands of years ago, but allowing the Lord to fight against a creature like the giant snake alone shows that the situation back then was very complicated and by no means simple.
