Chapter 508 507 Holy Blood Festival is approaching. The first festival event
Chapter 508 507. The Festival of Holy Blood is approaching·The first festival event is ready to go!
"The number of alien warriors currently fighting in Transia is 617. Counting the 300 people who will get helmets in three days and the 200 independent recruitment quotas in the hands of the student party, at the end of next week, our warriors will finally
Will break through the 1,000-person mark.
In the next month or so, I will distribute all the quotas on hand until the number of players is saturated again, and the current number of residents managed by Transia has exceeded 220,000, which is 2,200 people."
In Archon Miriam's office, Murphy was "checking accounts" with Miriam, while Tris stood by the office window and looked at the gloomy sky today.
His Excellency the Grand Duke thinks that a second snow may fall in Transia in a few days.
The snowfall this time will be more severe than before. In previous seasons, this kind of weather would have been difficult, but the first snowfall has proved that at least near Scarlet Castle, simple cold is no longer fatal.
Faced with Murphy's description, the Scarlet Archon shook her head. She opened her work notes and turned to the page recording population changes, and said to Murphy:
"The actual number is more than you expected, because the serfs from the Kafhoka area are being sent to Transia. Although this was just a private agreement between Lao Huo of Booty Bay and the Yankee merchants at the beginning, the previous
That snow did us a big favor.
The pace of late winter is getting more and more urgent, and landless farmers with nowhere to go are spontaneously moving to Transia.
Yesterday, two boatloads of farmers were sent to the dock in Under Armor Hills. They have been sent to Stromgarde and are undergoing quarantine and registration.
I originally thought this was a completely spontaneous self-rescue action, but last night the Torrent Knight sent information that the farmers were seduced by the vampires of the Thorn Clan, and there were more farmers and homeless people on the docks of Burnie City.
Waiting to be transported.
Madam Shani didn't seem to want to see so many people freeze to death this winter, so she helped us secretly. Count Andre also didn't want to see his people die in the cold winter, so he also sent himself
The faction secretly helps.
But to be honest, I don't think this is the conscience of the vampire Archduke.
Mrs. Shani's intention is probably to stabilize the situation in the Kafhoka area as soon as possible. She threw all these unstable factors to us, and the Winter Wolf Legion is also happy to see these refugees sent away.
They even sent people to maintain order at the port of Burnie and gave the refugees enough hard bread to eat for three days.
The Grand Duke of Thorns and General Baldwin know very well that we are the only force near the Kafhoka Great Plains that can receive so many refugees and resettle them properly. They may feel that the resettlement of so many refugees will bring a huge burden to us.
Or perhaps, they are actually using this method to achieve the purpose of strengthening Transia. To put it simply, they are sending us cannon fodder.
It’s really a cruel political method.”
"But we still want to express our gratitude to Shani."
Murphy whispered:
"No matter what her reasons are for pushing forward with this matter, it will not be harmful to us. Of course, this also means that the Blood Vulture Clan owes the Thorn Clan a favor. Can Stromgarde eat these people?"
"Can."
Miriam replied:
"The administrative and logistics teams of Stromgarde are very professional. They were busy from noon to midnight yesterday. Not only did they not cause congestion at the dock, they even divided temporary gathering areas and dedicated dedicated areas for farmers who came from afar.
Quarantine area.
Even without our dispatch, the Torrent Knights took the initiative to contact the witch hunters in Morland Village to carry out large-scale disease dispersal and plague detection.
Based on the professionalism shown by these logistics knights, I am confident enough that they can accept more landless farmers into the vicinity of their stronghold. I have seen the form they sent, and I have to say that they put this data into statistics.
An art is completed.
too professional
However, His Excellency Knight Serac Fender, who is in charge of the general logistics of the Torrent Knights, needs us to provide more food and gray tents and fuel for building the camp. This is understandable. I have made arrangements and Xiao Wan will go there in person.
Pressure the formation.
He was born in the Kavhoka area and is quite familiar with the situation there, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"So, with the continuous influx of these landless refugees, little Murphy's expectation of having 3,000 warriors before the Black Disaster arrives will no longer be a luxury, right?"
Tris turned around and asked. The Archon thought for a moment and said:
"With the addition of these refugees, and the continuous introduction of more mountain tribes from the Sachs area in the Ancestral Woodland, it may be difficult to increase the number of 80,000 people in less than two months. But when the war really started, the 3,000 foreigners
The formation of a human army is indeed not a big problem.
After all, we have to stop the Jackals on the front line of Desolate Mountain.
There is still a little buffering period before they rush into the Filth Swamp and Transia."
"Very good, then I will continue to trouble you in the next period of time, Miriam."
Murphy said warmly:
"At the end of the year, I will give generous rewards to the civil servants who have worked for many months. I think the promotion list at the end of this year may be appropriately expanded. During the war years, we were unable to give more material rewards to the hard-working staff.
, then spiritual satisfaction and affirmation must be appropriately tilted.
For example, if our first administrative knights want to be given a title promotion, it is not beyond negotiation.
and this.
Although you have been reluctant to tell me your birthday, I guess you have no idea of holding a birthday celebration for yourself this year, so I just brought the gift I prepared for you."
Murphy patted the box at hand. Inside was a set of "Farstrider" personal protective equipment.
He said to the astonished Miriam:
"I don't allow you to refuse this gift. It can help you avoid many dangers, and it's not difficult to operate. Tris will teach you how to use it tonight."
"All right."
Miriam brushed her hair, glanced at Murphy, and said softly:
"But my birthday has long passed, Lord Governor. It was the day before we met in the village of Moreland, that is, the day my hometown was slaughtered. Alas, it was really the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life.
’s birthday.
But without mentioning these sad things, let’s take a look at my plans for Holy Blood Day.
There are only five days left before the most important vampire festival of the year, and I think it might be difficult for us to make it grand."
"No need."
Murphy rejected the plan handed over by Miriam. He stood up and said with a smile on his face:
"There is no need to use the city's resources at all, and there is no need for our city to waste people and money. Didn't I say it before? These activities are for the warriors from other worlds. They will plan and host them. We only need
Provide them with the hidden rewards they need after the holiday celebrations are over.
They are always full of energy and do not know what sadness is. I believe that such optimism will infect our residents, allowing them to temporarily forget the depression of reality and be full of expectations for the future.
You have to believe that people from other worlds have far more experience with large-scale events than we do."
"But any event needs a theme."
Tris glanced at Murphy.
The shame and anger in her heart caused by the intimate contact in the Land of Creation that night had almost calmed down, and she said to Murphy:
"You can leave everything to them, but you have to specify at least one content, right?
Moreover, five days of preparation time is indeed too little. Since we have decided to have fun with the people, we have to bring some appropriate gimmicks to our residents, just like the previous boxing championship. I think that is a good idea.
Even though it has been over for a month, there are still a lot of discussions in the city. It is obvious that the locals prefer this kind of straightforward excitement.
If you ask people from other worlds to perform a drama, I guess not many people will be willing to support it."
"Um"
Murphy thought this idea was good, but having another boxing match just after the championship would be a bit fatigued. He thought for a moment and then took out his notebook where he recorded inspiration and flipped through it. Suddenly his eyes lit up.
The Governor closed his notebook and asked Tris and Miriam:
"I made a pie for them before, promising that they could challenge me as long as they get four letters of recommendation from powerful local figures. When the boxing championship was going on, I told Dorothy to add this link, but then
The swamp war broke out and I didn't have time to continue paying attention.
So, how many players have received letters of recommendation from those champions now?"
"This needs to be counted."
Miriam rubbed her eyes and said:
"But I estimate that the number will not be small. At least our Earl of Baishan, in order to win over the warriors, has made trouble in almost every battle he participated in. And as the number of psychic masters among the warriors increases, the eldest lady will
The pass rate of Bian's 'Knowledge Challenge' is also said to be improving.
I'll do some statistics and report the specific information to you before tonight.
But are you sure you want to start such a challenge on Holy Blood Day? It’s not that I doubt your strength, Murphy, I’m worried about what if your warriors are really powerful, what if they really defeat you.
what to do?
That was a challenge held in public!
If you lose, the local people's impression of you may change a little."
"nonexistent!"
Lord Murphy said confidently:
"Even if we gave them 40 people, it would be absolutely impossible for them to defeat me at their current level. I could crush them just in terms of reaction speed and movement speed. But since it's a challenge, I have to give them a bonus.
"
The Governor took out the notebook he used to record his new swordsmanship from his luggage.
He said:
"Let's use this valuable knowledge as a bonus. The quest for strength has always been difficult, and not every warrior can have a partner like Necessary Evil."
"Can I give them reinforcements?"
Tris suddenly became interested.
She raised her hands and said:
"I suddenly really want to see my little Murphy being surrounded by warriors and beating him up. I can give them some strength before the battle begins.
No, it's not just me.
Those guys who gave them letters of recommendation have recognized their strength, so in such a challenge, the strong ones must give the weak ones the necessary boost to ensure that this battle can be fought beautifully.
Little Murphy, don't show that bad expression. Look, it's meaningless to you to torture people. You should try more advanced fighting.
Only 40 strengthened warriors who have formed a battle formation are qualified to become your opponents, right?
Wow, what a great idea!
I'm going to discuss it with Femis, Maxim and Adele."
After saying that, Tris threw the teleportation spell and made herself disappear in front of Murphy, who had a headache, and Miriam, who covered her mouth and chuckled. After Tris left, Miriam asked in a low voice:
"There seems to be some unhappiness between you two? Can I know what happened? Isn't the relationship between you already so good that it's like a conjoined man? Tris doesn't resist outsiders now.
In front of you, I am very close to you."
"You're a pure little girl, it's better not to know."
Murphy glanced at Miriam angrily and said:
"In other words, you will know after you have a boyfriend. To be honest, I don't know where I offended her. It was obviously her initiative."
"But Tris is going to boost the warriors so they can beat you up."
Miriam opened her water glass, took a sip of water, moistened her throat and said to Murphy:
"Are you sure you still have confidence now?"
"certainly."
Murphy touched his heart and said:
"Not only are they making progress, I am also making progress. If my warriors think they can beat me up after getting a super BUFF, then I will definitely give them a big surprise and let them know that the majesty of the mainline NPCs cannot be provoked.
of!
Of course, before that, I will give them a little hope and then kill it myself.
Hahaha, I’m such a bad bad guy, right?”
——
Regarding the origin of the Holy Blood Festival, there was a plot party that did some research in the game before and translated it on the forum. To put it simply, the so-called Holy Blood Festival commemorates the ancients of the Vampire family at the beginning of the era 1,100 years ago.
The day we established the clan and blood clan system on the wilderness continent.
Vampires regard this as the beginning of the birth of their civilization.
They will celebrate the third week after the winter solstice every year, and the entire celebration lasts for ten days. According to various information found by players in the game, when the Holy Blood Festival arrives, vampires everywhere will temporarily put aside important matters and start
Seeking pleasure.
And having fun too much can lead to unexpected situations, so every year after the Holy Blood Festival, each clan will have an extra group of blood descendants.
However, past experience is obviously difficult to use in today's Transia, because the New Blood Vulture Clan is not a traditional force.
Just after Menghaha reminded people on the forum about the arrival of the "Feast of the Holy Blood", in the evening of that day, some changes visible to the naked eye appeared on the forum.
First of all, the entire forum layout has been modified into a dark vampire style, decorated with candles and wine, and background music will automatically play when entering the forum.
It is a traditional song of the Blood Clan, called "Scarlet Celebration Song". It is said that Lord Paying personally performed the song during the first Holy Blood Festival.
Don't tell me, it sounds really nice.
A very distinctive female high-pitched chant is added to the feminine bass tune, which is very similar to the elf poem in fantasy stories, and has a unique sense of holiness of a choir. It is particularly atmospheric and also announces to the players.
The first holiday event in "Real World" is almost here.
In addition to the changes to the forum layout, each player's avatar also has a limited-time costume. You can turn your avatar into a "vampire filter", which is the attitude your character will take if he really becomes a vampire.
Because of Alpha Company’s “excellent technology”, the effect of this filter is amazing.
The student gang members clamored to upload their personal photos to the forum, then filtered them with vampire filters, then dumped the photos into their mobile phones, pretending that they had taken a very handsome "vampire art photo."
Fa Ge's assistant "Sister Xiaomi" also posted an official post on the theme of the Holy Blood Festival event at 8 o'clock that evening:
[The quiet sound of midnight has sounded, and the scarlet dawn is calling. Dear foreigners, the Transian Administrative Office and the Blood Vulture Clan cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming celebration of the 'Holy Blood Festival'.
The development team has prepared a wealth of holiday activities for you. We hope you will enjoy the exotic life besides fighting.
Holy Blood Festival warm-up activity 1·Festival support:
In previous years, this land would be decorated with the most extravagant scenery due to the arrival of Holy Blood Festival. It was the busiest and happiest ten days every year. However, in this special season, we have just recovered from the disaster.
The Scarlet Castle that emerged did not have so many manpower and material resources to push the atmosphere of the Holy Blood Festival into a carnival. The distressed Archon Miriam hoped to use the power of the omnipotent foreigners.
During the four days from the start of the warm-up event to the official opening of the Holy Blood Festival, all players can go to the Scarlet Castle administrative area to receive the ‘Festival Support’ cycle mission.
This task type is daily, and can be done once a day. Each task lasts for twelve rings. The content is to help the administrative office find holiday supplies, decorate the city, and prepare for celebrations.
You can obtain the "Archon's Gratitude" gift pack through daily tasks, which includes but is not limited to gold coins, supplies, psychic pets, Moonlight Butterflies, and special fashions, Holy Blood Reveler Outfits.
hint!
There is a very small chance that this gift pack will contain ‘Rare Skin Miriam Administrative Academy First-Year Freshman’.
Holy Blood Festival warm-up activity 2·Big challenge countdown:
Governor Murphy has never forgotten his promise to the foreign warriors. He once emphasized that he would give the warriors a chance to challenge him, and now, Lord Murphy feels that the time has come!
During the ten days from the start of the warm-up event to the start of the Holy Blood Festival Challenge, all players can go to the special NPC to obtain the 'Strong Recommendation Letter'. By the time the Holy Blood Festival Challenge starts, they will have four letters of recommendation.
Players can participate in the challenge to Governor Murphy.
This challenge is a limited time team battle mode!
The maximum number of people allowed to enter is 40 people!
The number of challenges allowed is limited to 5!
After successfully completing the challenge, all participants will receive ‘Governor Murphy’s Martial Arts Manual’ X1.
hint!
This challenge is reserved for the Holy Blood Festival. Players who have not qualified for the challenge need not be sad or disappointed. Lord Murphy will appear again in next year's Holy Blood Festival challenge.
Holy Blood Festival Pre-Event 3 Tris’s Revenge:
Due to unknown reasons, there was a slight disturbance in the relationship between Mrs. Tris and Governor Murphy. In order to punish Murphy for his disgrace, Mrs. Tris decided to provide the warriors with various buffs and combat potion supplements in the big challenge.
.
From the start of the warm-up event, all players who have received a letter of recommendation can go to Mrs. Tris’s alchemy hut and obtain rare combat potions by donating wine to Mrs. Tris.
Before the big challenge starts, after the number of bottles of wine donated by all warriors exceeds 500 bottles, Mrs. Tracey will appear directly at the challenge site and cast powerful buff spells on the challengers.
If the challengers can defeat Lord Murphy, they will receive the ‘Lady Tracey’s Smell of Elegance’ gift pack.
This gift package contains wealth, power and knowledge that you cannot imagine.
More Blood Festival activities will be gradually unlocked along with plot recommendations. In short, please bring your friends to participate in the preparations and carnival of the Holy Blood Festival.
In addition, the administrative office specially reserved five booths for foreigners in this event to reflect the cultural characteristics of foreigners.
If at the end of the event, the performance of the foreigners is unanimously approved by the residents of Scarlet Castle and Professor Malcolm, a history and folklorist, then the administrative office will give the guild generous administrative and material rewards.]
This post immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was posted, but in addition to those players discussing big challenges and rewards, some more gossipy guys quickly got a taste of the "melon" from the post.
Lumina Yanghen: [Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Tracey are having a fight. Yaoshou, I thought they were a model couple. I think this plot is worth digging into. Are there any brothers who have been paparazzi before?
Sign up to join my gossip team?
Heavy recruitment.]
Mrs. Wenwan Qishui: [Don’t seek death! If you don’t want to become a member of the Black Hand Clan. 】
Lumina Yanghen: [Oh, I understand, you think I didn’t say anything.]
Meow Meow King: [Hahaha, I’m scared, Xiao Lumi is such a coward, what are you afraid of? Chasing NPC gossip is also a way of playing games, you see, I’m not afraid!]
Sister Pomegranate pulled up the weeping willow: [Nonsense, you are already the chief of the Black Hand clan, you are so scared.]
