Chapter 68 67. Report sir! We caught a group of vampire beggars! 【760】
(Additional update for the ‘Frostfang Claw’ brothers [2/5])
On the seventh day of the special event in Cadman City, players saw that the ruins of the city they had explored in the past few days had changed drastically as soon as they went online.
There are burning fires covering the ruins in the distance, burning fiercely, like covering the dim city with a layer of scorching fire lines. The rising heat distorts the light and makes it difficult to see clearly. But nearby, it is last night.
Three blocks have been burned.
Black ashes covered the ground, reflecting the desolation.
"It's burning, it's really burning."
Brother Miao Miao stood in the ashes with his four great diamonds and his old cousin's little hand and sighed.
They were dragging two large carts behind them, which were filled with Mrs. Tracey's secret kerosene. Their mission was to send these things to the front line to the NPCs of the Cadman Self-Rescue Army, who would then arrange the next scene.
Burnt city area.
This arson operation was planned and advanced. According to Murphy and Tris's calculations, by midnight today, the entire outer city would be able to be purified with flames.
"Hey, don't tell me, there are really no weird astral shadows in this burned place, and even the uncomfortable black snow is gone."
Meow Meow's old cousin "pretended not to use his hands" and poked the pile of ashes next to him with his war spear. A clay pot was broken inside, and a few copper coins scattered out, and the little cute newbie quickly took it into his arms.
inside.
He raised his head again and said to his ambitious cousin:
"Brother, your job change"
"Do it tomorrow!"
Brother Mingmiao waved his hand and said:
"I have asked the dump truck to help me find materials in the camp. Tomorrow, I will wait until the rewards are settled after the event, and then wait until the stars come out to give it a try in the woods.
Once this hidden mission is completed, we will all have new careers to switch to!"
"No, brother, I mean, are you sure you want to switch to that weird career?"
Pretending not to worry about it, he said:
"What if the first number is useless? There is currently no information about the new profession. Aren't you worried that it is a sewer profession?"
"This is a task given by the main NPC. How can it be a sewer occupation? It is clearly part of the side plot, right? It is up to the players to explore the new occupation system. This is called game immersion."
Meow Meow was not worried at all, he grinned and said:
"In other games, we are footmen, but it's different here. We are warriors who create history! Let's go, let's stop talking. Let's finish this task first."
The six of them dragged the cart quickly through the ashes-strewn streets, and some camp collectors could be seen looking for usable things in the ruins on both sides.
When these warriors pass by, some young people or people who have been favored by them will take the initiative to say hello to Miao Miao and others or bow from afar. This treatment makes the young players feel happy.
After all, these indigenous NPCs are not white-eyed wolves. People who know how to be grateful can always make people feel comfortable.
When they sent the kerosene to the front line, they happened to see Lord Murphy patrolling the fire line with his "harem group". Miao Miao and his party immediately went up to check their familiarity and increase their favorability. Murphy casually sent "Wildfire Fueling"
The task is for them to help light the fire.
After sending away the overly enthusiastic little players, he turned back to Tris behind him and said:
"I can feel that the astral spiritual energy is fading faster. Even the black smoke in the sky has dissipated. I think I can see the moon and stars tonight."
"It's not just the fire."
Tris leaned on a cane, shook her head and explained:
"The overall energy of the astral realm is ebbing, and that rift is about to close. Tomorrow! Tomorrow evening at the latest, the inner city that has been trapped for a week will reappear in the material world."
"Nothing will exist there."
The eldest lady answered in a hoarse voice:
"When I ventured in seven days ago, I saw a large number of buildings being dragged into the star realm. A week of erosion and engulfment was enough to turn the inner city into a white field.
But this may be good news for you.
This means that all traces of Cadman City’s past have been erased, just like a white cloth for you to leave your own colors on.”
"Be optimistic, little girl."
Mrs. Tracey sarcastically said:
"Have more faith in our vicious and cunning people. The speed of psychic energy corroding life will be slower. If they can hide underground when a disaster occurs, then after tomorrow we may see a group of people corrupted by the stars.
Unhinged vampire monster.
At that point, you will have to deal with them yourself whether you like it or not.
So, it’s not too late to leave all the pessimism until then.”
"Okay, Tris."
Murphy also felt that Tris's words were too harsh.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Tris's wrist to make her stop, but the eldest lady's already ugly face had turned a bit pale in the past few days.
It's obvious that Tris has understood her biggest fear.
Murphy was troubled by the unwarranted hostility between Tris and the eldest lady. He guessed that it had something to do with the eldest lady’s secret. Tris had not been a vicious character in the past, but she just seemed to be dissatisfied with everything about the eldest lady.
The behavior is the same, it is obvious that Femis has been very cooperative with their work this week.
It can even be called "well-behaved".
"Sky! Look! That damn thing is shrinking."
A shout came from the busy crowd nearby, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
They raised their heads and looked at the sky in the inner city. The sky, which had been shrouded in an ominous purple light for the past few days, suddenly dispersed into a mist of black smoke.
It was as if it had been disturbed by the flames of the outer city, causing it to finally reveal the true situation inside.
There was a murmur in the crowd, and people who hated this disaster used various contemptuous names to describe the spiritual vortex that was still spinning in the sky.
Some people called it "the devil's X-eyes" and this vulgar and vivid name immediately won the approval of others.
But Murphy could clearly see more.
Although he is only a level 9 psionic apprentice now, the repeated practice of psionic skills over the past many days has made him no longer limited to the appearance of things.
He stared at the spiritual vortex spinning above the inner layer, and after a few seconds, he said to Tris next to him:
"I can feel its weakness, like a body that has exhausted its strength. It is still stable on the outside, but it will collapse from the inside with just a little interference. By then, the rift in the astral realm will be completely closed, right?
?”
"Well, it seems that you haven't been lazy these days, and you are really studying the basic knowledge books I gave you."
Tris nodded with satisfaction and explained to her heir and apprentice:
"The psychic spell that makes up the astral rift has reached its final stage, but it still has extremely strong destructive power. In this case, letting it die naturally is the best choice. Once it is pierced in advance, it will trigger psychic energy.
The explosion formed a shock wave that swept everything around it into it.
This is the last dangerous stage it can sustain.
By about midnight today, its energy will be reduced to the lowest threshold, and then it will transform from a stable shroud to collapse toward the star realm, taking away everything that can be taken away."
Having said this, Tris glanced at the silent eldest lady next to her with malice, and said in a long voice:
"So, if there are really alive vampires in the inner city, tonight is their only chance to escape. Let's wait and see."
"Tris!"
Murphy frowned and deepened his voice.
Mrs. Tracey curled her lips, but aware of Murphy's mood, she did not continue teasing him.
Today's day was spent busy with the advancement and burning of the young players and survivors. There were not many surprises, but because they noticed the true effect of flame purification, the survivors' enthusiasm was very high.
Their desire to retake their homeland prompted them to act more efficiently than Murphy expected.
At dusk in the afternoon, as players went offline one after another, the survivors were still lighting fires everywhere and pushing forward. When the last block was also ignited by kerosene, the survivors who had been busy all day and night and had black and gray faces finally arrived.
Under the cover of flames, they advanced to the edge of the outer city.
Without the obstruction of astral shadows and polymers of despair, they could finally see with their own eyes the true scene of their city after the disaster.
The huge crack more than 100 meters wide that was struck by the dimensional meteorite and the flickering filthy light spots on the other side of the city that is still shrouded by the filthy storm of astral psychic energy represent that the old Cadman City has completely disappeared and is broken.
It became the last fantasy in the minds of many survivors.
The heavy fact before them clearly told them that everything they were familiar with in the past no longer existed.
Many people even knelt in front of the big crack and cried bitterly.
They were not only weeping for themselves who had no one to rely on and had to continue on the road towards an uneasy tomorrow, they were also weeping for the countless dead souls buried in this city.
Cadman City used to have approximately 150,000 people, but now only a thousand of them are left. This means that the dark history written on the land of Transia over the past 400 years has also collapsed along with this disaster.
But they didn't mess with anyone.
They knew nothing about the grievances between the Blood Vulture Vampires and the Plantagenet Kingdom, and they had nothing to do with the profits obtained by the upper-level people from manipulating the war. In the ten years of war, not only the civilians in the war zone suffered, but they too
It was not a comfortable life.
They have to bear the consequences of other people's mistakes.
"This is a lesson."
Behind the crying survivors, Murphy stood quietly among the ash ruins where the fire had been extinguished. He whispered to Tris next to him:
"The destruction of Sarokdar and the Blood Eagle Clan taught me a vivid lesson. This is the result of making too many enemies. No matter the night or the psychic barrier created over 400 years, they can't stop the power of hatred.
"
"So? Little Murphy."
Tris disagreed.
She has lived for five hundred years and has long been used to seeing these things.
She knew that all this was not as simple as Murphy had summarized, but now she just wanted to hear her lovely heir's plans for the future, so she opened the delicate wine bottle and took a small sip.
This elf-style wine bottle was found by a young player from the ruins and dedicated to her.
She played with her beloved thing, looked at Murphy, and said:
"So how are you going to establish your rule in this ruins? Are you going to be kind to others? Or are you going to change the toughness of Transia and try to become a little sheep?"
"I think I will probably try to eliminate the hatred between vampires and Transians, just like in my opinion vampires are not inherently evil, and humans are not spotless white lotuses.
Everyone’s butts are dirty, so just make do with it and get on with it.
Of course we need to find a more equal approach that can unite everyone.
Not just vampires and humans!
This future city will welcome everyone, loved or hated, praised or abandoned, everyone will find their own place here.
They will abide by my rules and I will use their power appropriately.
Unite everything to fight against those malicious people."
Murphy never concealed his thoughts from Tris. He said very frankly:
"I won't take the initiative to make enemies, but if others think that I, the son of a blood vulture, is easy to bully, I won't mind giving them a hard bite."
"You can't do it with these people."
Tris coughed and said:
"Your warriors are your greatest support. You have to find a way to arm them as soon as possible. They have courage now, but it is not enough, far from enough."
Murphy nodded.
How to increase the number of players is indeed a headache. He guessed that the growth of player manpower should not only be obtained by completing "tasks" by themselves.
That's too slow.
Maybe after his sixth ring guidance mission ends, the administrator system will give him a surprise. However, now that he has a territory and citizens, the black iron trial, one of the two conditions necessary to complete the mission, has become
The most troublesome problem.
How on earth should he find a suitable target in Cadman City, which is currently in dire straits?
Just when Murphy had a headache, under a burning block in the distance, Lumina, who had just come online, was carrying the last batch of kerosene with Sister Pomegranate.
She could only go online at this time due to the time difference, but Sister Pomegranate specially adjusted her time so that she could play with Lumi.
"Give me another chance, don't be so strict, little Lumi."
Sister Pomegranate begged Lumina:
"I did poorly on the test paper yesterday, but you have to believe that my IQ is definitely more than that."
"There's nothing I can do, Sister Pomegranate."
Lumina sighed and said:
"I know you are very powerful, but I didn't set the rules, so don't worry. You can talk to my friends after the next game quota is released and they enter the game.
I personally agree, but my approval alone is of no use. Huh?
What it is?
Look! Pomegranate, something is crawling out of the big crack over there!
It seems like a person?
Why is this so miserable? He is as dirty and shabby as a beggar."
"What are you looking at? Is that one person? At least there are a group of them! Their eyes are still glowing! They are coming, run! This is not right!
Lumi! Blow the whistle, hurry up! Call the NPC!
We can't deal with so many crazy vampire beggars!
Where do these crazy guys come from?"
