Chapter 543 542. Report, we caught a mummy! It’s still a female!
Murphy originally didn't care about the news brought by Hedong Lion's Roar.
As a "local".
Well, even though he had just arrived in the Barren Mountain area, he also learned from the conversation with Tris and Villanse that the goatmen in Baphomet Canyon usually didn't do good things. They would rob other people on this land.
race, and kidnapped those poor people into the underground palace as sacrifices to the evil gods.
When the vampire lord entered the underground palace just now, he sensed that there were many poor guys in the maze.
They were thrown into the upper labyrinth by the goatmen and were unable to escape. They had become confused and like walking zombies. At the same time, they had to fight with the goatman thugs and dangerous beasts wandering around in the labyrinth to please the evil god and collect despair and pain.
This is already a "hidden tradition" in Baphomet Canyon.
This is of course evil, and it is a bastard act that all righteous people cannot ignore. It is also the most suitable environment for the righteous mainline NPC to carry out "just sanctions".
In fact, the random mission that Murphy plans to release is to require the players here to rush into the maze, rescue those poor people, and lead to the initial mission of exploring the underground palace and searching for the Goatman civilization.
But this plan cannot be changed.
Especially when Hedong Lion Roar said the words "Slate of Civilization", Murphy, who was originally casual, immediately narrowed his eyes.
Civilization slate?
In this damn place?
Then there are only two possibilities.
Murphy, who caught the key words, clarified his thoughts in an instant.
The Black Flame Pass entering the Dark Mountains is defended by the second lord of the Blood Alliance clan. The Heather lord can be sure that no one else has crossed the defense line in the recent period. There is a high probability that the flesh-tearing and the civilized tablets it took away are still in this area.
inside.
Therefore, either the Warriors met NPCs related to the Goatman Civilization Tablet in the underground palace, or they helped Murphy find clues to the Jackal Tablet again through some strange combination of circumstances.
Thinking about it, he was already in a very embarrassed state when he tore his flesh and fled. It is also very reasonable to guess that the old jackal could not successfully pass through the position guarded by the vampires, and was afraid of the pursuers, so he could only take the stone slab and escape into the underground palace of Baphomet.
.
"Ahem, Transian warriors!"
Murphy quickly completed the task text editing. While Hedong Lion Roar was resting and other players were preparing to enter the underground palace to save their brothers, he opened his arms and shouted loudly:
"Our brave warriors are about to cross the swamp and embark on the battlefield in the barren mountains under your guidance, but the Baphomet Canyon and the violent goatmen here are a huge safety hazard.
In the past countless years, these evil creatures that worship evil gods have killed countless lives here. The righteous Transians cannot allow them to continue to do evil!
This is a land without order, but I believe that the new order will be realized by your own hands here.
This will also be a small step towards realizing our ‘big plan’.
The black disaster is a great evil, but we cannot ignore the evil under the shadows. Come with me! Enter the underground palace, bring back our brothers, and take the innocent people away from the hell of death. Think of this as a generous gift.
A Lancian’s small act of kindness to a troubled world.”
"ding ding ding"
The sound of a series of task triggers made the players full of energy. Although this random task only gave a small amount of money, now even the second dog raised by the greedy party members on the forum knows that among all NPCs, Murphy is
The favorability of adults is the most difficult to increase.
The main reason is that Mr. Murphy disappears all day long and rarely gives new players a chance to contact him. Moreover, this mainline NPC is a very "nostalgic" person. He almost only plays with old players, which makes Meng Moe.
For newcomers, let alone building reputation, it is difficult to even activate Murphy's personal reputation.
Now that the Governor has finally come out to assign tasks to everyone, it would be a bit outrageous to choose to refuse at this time.
"Ouch! For the glory of Lord Murphy! For the order of Transia! Go, go, go! Kill them all!"
Bajijie, who was circling around Ms. Villanse just now, perfectly demonstrated the "scumbag nature" of the players in this moment. They left the big-eyed and small-eyed fate-weaver girl behind without any hesitation and instantly transformed into Mo.
Mr. Fei's loyal licking dog, howling and screaming together with the other licking dogs, rushed into the dark underground palace.
The noisy scene was like a herd of beasts charging, and the sinister and evil underground palace was as lively as a New Year's market.
"You three stay here and take good care of Transia's distinguished guests for me."
Murphy turned back and ordered Mrs. Bernice who was riding on the horse:
"Awaken some undead here and set up a temporary camp nearby to give our warriors a resting place. By the way, tell Adele to wait for me in Shadow Valley first. I will go there after I have dealt with the problems here."
"As you command, Lord Governor."
Mrs. Bernice accepted the task obediently.
Watching Murphy turn around and rush into the underground palace, the spiritual fire burning in her eyes under the helmet also jumped. Although Mrs. Bernice has been dead for many years, the deceased's reason still allowed her to grasp the key points of the problem.
Adele is Murphy's heir. If it is just to transmit information, then there is no need to go through a third party. The connection between the vampire noble elder and the heir is the best encryption method.
However, now, Lord Murphy asked her to convey the message on his behalf, which shows that the poor child Adele has finally made up her mind and has broken the blood contract with Governor Murphy.
This is a real good thing for Mrs. Bernice, who regards Adele as her daughter, but she will not spread this secret everywhere with a big mouth. She will only feel sorry for her poor Adele in her heart.
Dale prayed silently.
"Is that the wise and mighty Lord Murphy that Adele calls him?"
Beside Bernice, Lisa whispered to her mother:
"He is indeed handsome. Even from the perspective of an elf, this vampire governor is handsome. However, I have not seen many manifestations of wisdom and martial prowess. A ruler actually entered a dangerous place with his warriors.
This is not in line with what I believe to be the cunning wisdom of a vampire or the judgment of the situation that a lord should have."
"Shut up! Lisa, that's your master too."
Mrs. Bernice was very dissatisfied with her daughter's growth over the years. She scolded:
"You must relearn how to be loyal to your leader. Mr. Murphy single-handedly led Transia, which was on the verge of collapse, to where it is today. Although it is far from being strong, the wisdom he possesses as a leader is unimaginable.
of!
The sensible Adele has no intention of taking away your throne as leader, but if you want to truly lead your people, you must learn from Lord Murphy.
Swallow your pride, Lisa.
Lord Murphy is the only destined master of Transia. All the warriors on this land follow him loyally and bravely. They even dare to draw their swords against the gods for Lord Murphy's orders!
This is what I saw with my own eyes.
This is also the first lesson your poor mother will teach you!
I will supervise your learning and growth. I missed the time when you grew up, but you will have the attention and guidance of me and your father in your future life.
Well, from this point of view, death may not really be torture. We have enough time to accompany you in your future growth and make up for the care you lack."
"oh."
Lisa pursed her lips and nodded.
She wanted to refute that she was not crooked and had read books on domination, but she just lacked a little practical experience. Unfortunately, her mother, who had been lost and recovered, did not seem to think so and she did not intend to give herself a chance to refute.
As for Ms. Villanse.
The fate-weaver girl was very sad at this time.
Her "charm" in her second form was also ruthlessly crushed by Lord Murphy. The indiscriminate behavior of those asshole warriors greatly hurt her heart. This was the first time that she was abandoned so ruthlessly, as if she was thrown away as insignificant.
thing.
The fate-weaver girl urgently needs to adjust her mentality and start to truly learn how to deal with the warriors.
——
"I can't stand it."
A hoarse exclamation rang out from the twisted shadows of Baphomet's underground palace, along with pale bone fire that flew in the form of rays in all directions, repelling the howling goatmen thugs that rushed over.
However, this is already the middle level of the Earth Palace, and the goat people here are the real elites of the "Baphoon Worshipers" group or the "Baphoon Cult".
They have received the gift of power from the evil god who has not yet awakened, which not only allows them to master the spiritual power of nightmares and corrosion, but also makes their bodies distorted due to excessive exposure to the myth of subspace.
The goatmen here are taller, with ugly scales growing out of their skin under their manes, and a pair of weird eyes that shimmer in the dark. Twisted evil runes are carved on their bodies to make them more resistant to psychic powers.
The scorching pale bone fire is also difficult to harm them, but the good news is that there are more corpses abandoned in the middle of the underground palace, giving the "damsel in distress" more means to use to resist the siege of these bastard goatmen.
As she continued to recite Hades' incantations, strange and mutilated corpses were awakened one after another, and driven by the will of Hades, they screamed and pounced on the goatmen, giving their temporary masters time to escape.
Brother Cat and his three brothers will be protecting the "damsel in distress" who is constantly casting spells.
It was just an accident that Hedong Shiroar could run back to report the news.
It was a short-distance teleportation performed by the strange girl they escorted using the psychic items she carried with her, but she herself could not use this method to leave the maze.
Because she was injured.
Very serious injury.
If the five Cat Brothers hadn't accidentally broken into this place, the girl wouldn't have had any chance to escape.
Even now, her hands are tied with heavy shackles, and she doesn't know where the goatman got the shackles from. In short, it is difficult for this girl to truly exert her role as a high-level spellcaster under the oppression of the shackles.
the power of.
Cat Brother carried out a fatal beheading under the cover of Dog Plane and Wolf Walk. The Goatman Nightmare Priest who rushed in front of them was chopped to the ground by the ranger's sword, and was pierced through the eye socket and brain by Tiger Roar with a lion spear.
But after that guy died, he actually threw out a curse, which made a group of people's minds dizzy and even their strength became weak.
"Where to go next?"
Brother Cat, who was out of breath while holding a heavy sword, turned around and asked. The strange girl they were protecting in the center blinked her eyes and said:
"Ah? I can't. I was kidnapped. Those bastards blindfolded me, took away my treasures, and drove away my lovely dogs.
I hate them!
But the problem now is not me or you, but others!
Those poor pirates are under siege, and we have to save them!"
"Dry."
Brother Cat cursed.
He felt like he had rescued a fool. This unique model was obviously an important NPC at first glance, but why did the development team give her such a strange AI?
"Brother Cat, I can't stand it anymore!"
The gladiator Shannan Huxiao, who was carrying a shield and a lion spear, had a grimace on his face and shouted to his brothers:
"The 'Nightmare' state on our bodies has reached the 30th level. The strength and endurance attributes of the brothers have been reduced by more than one-third. If this continues, we will all die here! Take that idiot NPC and leave quickly.
, give me all the explosives.
I'll blow up this passage to give you time to escape, and then come back to clear this wild dungeon after we've defeated everyone.
Riding on a horse!
This is definitely a group-scale ghost place. The development team is getting lazy now. They don’t even give any hints. Doesn’t this mean the brothers are blindfolded?”
"When the dog barks, we have already left Xinxin Village. Do you understand?"
Lin Bei, who was carrying two cool dwarf hand axes and slashing and killing, turned his head and yelled:
"What dungeon prompts and mission prompts are all rules that only exist in Novice Village. I asked Brother Fa on the forum a few days ago, and Brother Fa told me that once you leave Novice Village, these benefits will be weakened.
The further away from Novice Village, the fewer hints we can get.
Obviously, this ghost place is a ‘disgrace’ given to players by the development team, allowing us to abandon the ‘pampering’ habits we developed in Transia Novice Village and truly adapt to adventure and life in the real world.
grass!
You can't stop these elite monsters if you are left alone. Their attacks are too fierce. Every time you kill one of them, you will be given a layer of nightmare status. We don't have a priest to dispel them, so we can only hold on like this.
I can't even imagine what the hell will happen once this state reaches level 99.
Get out, Brother Cat.
You take the NPC away, and the three of us brothers will stay here to take care of you! This idiot NPC definitely has an important mission!
This is a task triggered by our team, but we cannot pick peaches for others."
"Yes! Leave quickly!"
Sichuan West Langxing pushed Brother Mao who was still hesitating. He took out a few bombs mixed with burning gold powder and threw them in front of his eyes. In the fire, several layers of nightmare states were superimposed on the three of them.
body, making each other weaker.
Brother Cat saw that his brothers were determined to die, so it would be rude to refuse any more.
Without saying a word, he turned around with the heavy sword, put on his shoulders the idiot NPC who was still trying to cut off the handcuffs with a broken saw blade, and rushed towards the road behind him amidst the latter's screams.
"Ah! You have left your brothers behind, you coward! The Moon of Death will curse you, and you will walk on the road to Hades, be assigned to the hell of pariahs and cowards, and be bitten by three vicious dogs.
Left leg!"
The strange girl screamed and cursed in a strange language that did not belong to Transia or even the mainland. The usually reliable calculation orb seemed to be stuck, and the translation speed was very slow.
Considering that this thing was made by a halfling, it is certain that the strange language used by this girl is not even understood by halflings.
This strange girl is crazy, but Brother Cat has no time to think about her weird situation.
He carried her forward and kept rushing forward, but when he passed a certain dark place, he was knocked to the ground by three shadow dogs that jumped out from the shadows. Brother Cat rolled to his feet and was already in a fighting posture, but
The crazy girl he was carrying screamed and flew out, hitting the wall next to her with a bang.
The crisp sound of bone cracking shocked Brother Cat.
Damn it!
Did you throw the NPC you tried so hard to save to death?
Depend on!
This wave of losses is huge.
Seeing the ferocious shadow dogs howling and surrounding him, Brother Cat took a deep breath and put these distracting thoughts behind him. He was ready to fight to the death, but at the moment when the two sides were fighting, several blood-red seeds fell from the sky.
Throw it from behind, and when it lands, it will take root and instantly transform into a blood tree tree to help Cat Brother block the Shadow Dog attack.
Brother Meow Meow's energetic battle cry of "Avalon is Great" sounded from behind, and Brother Cat finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
The fastest players rushed over from behind, howling, and began to besiege the strange shadow dogs summoned from another dimension by the evil goatman. Lord Murphy also quietly appeared.
Under Brother Cat's strange gaze, his main NPC reached out and pulled up the strange girl whose neck had been broken from the ground.
The latter is not dead yet
Well, the latter never lived!
She yelled in a rude voice, holding up her neck, which was twisted into an L shape, with both hands, and reconnected the broken spine with a click.
"Ah, your warriors are so unprofessional, Governor Murphy! My second life was almost buried here by them."
The strange girl moved her creaking neck while looking at Murphy, who had a subtle expression in front of her. She stretched out her hand generously, and while the mummy cloth was swaying, she introduced herself:
"Hello, Lord Murphy, the governor of Transia, the true master of the Blood Vulture clan, and the nemesis of the gnolls, my name is Nefertari, from the Holy City of the Moon, under the orders of Chief Priest Bayek and Lord Paying.
Please come and help you.
May the Moon of Death bless you and your domain."
"Well, thank you for coming, ma'am, but before we start talking, can you put your left eyeball back first? This posture looks a bit scary."
"Oh, it keeps falling off. It's an old problem. Can you help me find some glue? I'll take care of it when I get to your palace."
