Chapter 133 132: Good Night, Transylvania
Miriam finally accepted the title and territory of Baroness Morland, and returned to her chair beside Lady Tris, dazed with a Scarlet Consul’s Night Bat Seal Ring.
Her mind was so blank that it was hard for her to think effectively.
It made her feel like she must have been trapped by a cunning vampire with a vicious mental spell, but Mrs. Tris knew very well that it was just a “pig brain overload” caused by a large amount of thinking in a short period of time.
Nothing serious.
Just take a break and have a few drinks to relax.
Tonight’s ceremony was over in terms of process, but Murphy had one last and crushing announcement to make, and amidst the whispers of the smaller players on the second floor, Murphy relied on himself to rise from his chair.
He leaned on his Desire Magic Blade and took a deep breath, looking upwards.
Its gentle gaze traced over the faces of each of the young players, and he could remember how these lovely and brave otherworldly elves had fought under his command, and how he had come to know and engage with each of them.
Although he had only spent less than a month with the little players now, the relationship between the two parties was already quite familiar.
Unfortunately, Murphy couldn’t be sure if this closeness was because the players really considered him as an “NPC” as a friend, or was it just out of the players’ love for a mainline and generous NPC?
He wished to know the answer to this question.
Even only need to use desire perception to listen to may be able to harvest the answer.
But Murphy did not do so in the end.
He didn’t want to reap disappointment, and it wasn’t the right time.
Putting the question behind him, he reached out and quietly took hold of the core jewel strapped to his wrist to activate the mission send, the long edited text and content poised to be sent.
“My warriors! It is because of your unyielding battles in this past month that I, a former fringe of the family, have come to this point, and everything I have now has been forged by your blood.
Therefore, I must make an announcement here!
I am about to make a decision that goes against the traditional rules laid down by countless vampire sages.
It may relegate me to being reviled by my fellow vampires, but I know I must do it!
I will share the blessings of midnight and the power of scarlet with you! Just as you have been generous and loyal to me.”
“Ding, ding, ding.”
In the instant Murphy finished speaking, the sound of a quest prompt popped up on all players’ arithmetic pearls, and this kind of large-scale quest triggering looked to be an update to the main quest.
When Brother Woo Meow lowered his head, he saw the quest prompt popping up on the player interface:
[Racial Spur-‘Midnight’s Call’ has been triggered!
Task content: Lord Murphy, the Count of Cadman, was impressed by your loyalty and courage, and now that the Blood Vulture Clan is close to the brink of extinction, in order to save the clan from extinction, he had to make a difficult and against vampire law decision with Mrs. Tris.
He would like to invite you to join the Blood Vulture Clan and become a member of the Midnight Nobility and the Eternal Sinners.
Of course, Lord Murphy never forces his warriors to do anything, so it will be up to you to decide whether or not to answer Lord Murphy’s call.
Quest Objective: Answer the call of Archduchess Tris and Lord Murphy, Earl of Cadman, pass the Black Iron Trial, complete the First Embrace and Spirit Weaving Ceremony, and join the Blood Vulture Clan.
(Ps. This quest can only be completed after the end of the version update.)
Quest Rewards: New racial templates and unique power system, new reputation system and gameplay updates
(Ps. All of the above features will be implemented after the completion of the version update.)

Tips from the development team!
The test server will be shut down and updated with Alpha 2.0 in 20 minutes.
Testers are requested to go to the initial archive point – Midnight Chamber in the Blood Wyvern Cloister to log out offline. This update will last 48 hours, so please be patient and wait for the update to complete].
“Blanched! I’m about to fucking offer my heart to Lord Murphy! At this point you’re telling me to wait 48 hours for an update to continue my allegiance?
It’s a pitiful thing to do!
The sense of game immersion is gone all of a sudden ow!”
The invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che howled on the spot.
Ever since he played the “Vampire Experience Card” he couldn’t get enough of the feeling of being able to fly, and now that he had finally triggered the mission, he was a bit overwhelmed by the need for another update.
“Damn it! This development team is not loyal at all! I suggest dragging it out and serving it with a popgun!”
Happy Stick was also gnashing his teeth next to him.
It wasn’t that this old brother had any plot approval for the vampire race, he was purely looking at the beauty of that intensity on the transcendent race.
Moreover, Happy Stick’s mind kept flashing back to the vampire first embrace animation that he had just seen, and he was thinking that if NPC vampires could embrace others for the first time, then couldn’t player-played vampires do the same?
It wasn’t that there were any dirty thoughts.
After all, such as Mrs. Adele kind of both strength and can be a vase of the best blood descent is really not too easy to find, mainly because of the vampire venerable for the heir of the absolute control.
This super-loyal relationship was simply a supreme blessing for someone like Stick, who didn’t have much security by nature.
Other players were complaining that the version update had come at a bad time, yet it was necessary!
Murphy had to give them time to think carefully.
After all, this thing really wasn’t a game, there was no shuffling or deleting and retraining that.
Once turned vampire and then regret, even if the feedback area of the forum feedback to the server explosion, Murphy also has no way to really give the small players to get a back file.
The most important thing is that, Tris’s spiritual weaving experiment still needs two days to get the final results, Murphy intends to take a break in the small players to consider the current situation at hand, to smooth out the things that should be smoothed out, clean up the existing game environment, and make a new main quest to meet the arrival of the “new version”.
At that moment, the countdown to the end of the game on the player interface has begun to pulsate, making these guys mutter and return in twos and threes from the Hall of Sons to the Midnight Chamber where the archive is located.
However, Brother Meow and Good Pigeon, the first group of 16 guys to enter the game to participate in the test, intentionally or unintentionally lagged behind, and after everyone else had left, these guys cunningly circled back.
The 16 of them exchanged glances with each other and waited patiently at the entrance to the Hall of Sons.
In addition to triggering the subplot “Midnight’s Call”, these 16 “old players” also had an additional hidden quest “Old Friend’s Thanks”.
They had confirmed that none of the second or third batch of players had entered the game.
What is this?
This is clearly Lord Murphy’s way of giving the first 16 warriors to follow him!
Lord Murphy did not forget the first old brothers, he is to give the family silver to fight for the welfare of it, hehehe, you do not say, this game’s NPC design is really humane.
In the past, Lord Murphy was a chicken edge people, and everyone together with the fish pond fried just rotten points. Now Lord Murphy mixed well, naturally can not forget the old brothers who fought together at the beginning.
Murphy also didn’t let the 16 small players who first followed him wait for too long, and soon, he appeared in front of the small players with the Wolfsbane Staff Sword that he had previously seized from Jopan Markie as a cane.
It could be seen that he was still a bit weak, but upon seeing the 16 familiar faces that had accompanied him for the longest time, the Vampire Lord’s face broke into a gentle smile that was very familiar to everyone.
“We have been through many challenges together, my warriors . No, my friends, I just want you all to know that even though I am a vampire born out of the middle of the night, I know how to be grateful.”
He didn’t go on at length, either.
Surrounded by sixteen small players, he opened his psionic bag, and took from it one after another of the Blood Wyvern family seals, glowing scarlet and full of a mysterious feel but not yet inscribed with a name, and handed them to the warriors beside him.
He said softly:
“If you decide to walk this Midnight Road, then these seal rings that prove your identity belongs to you are my gift to you, but there is no need to feel pressured by this, I can understand that not everyone is willing to return to the eternal night.
The sun’s soothing embrace still reminds me in my midnight dreams that I lost my birthright, and I do not have the right to ask you to do what you do not want to do in this world, by my will.
But you can still keep these precious rings, and go and find an alchemist or an enchanter to make them into items that fit your profession or simply souvenirs, such pure bloodstone is not easy to find on the continent, so even apart from the heavy name of the Blood Wyvern Family Seal, this thing can be regarded as a precious thing that is worth more than gold.
It represents my personal thanks for the warm companionship you have bestowed upon me.”
Murphy smiled and said with a gentle gesture to the 16 small “metahuman” players:
“Given your special circumstances, even if you join the Blood Vulture Clan, you may not be able to truly fulfill the precepts of the Dark Night as we do, but I have already submitted an application to Lady Tris, and if you are willing to do so, I will become your nominal honorary elder after you join the clan.
To lead, teach and protect you.
You may see this as a privilege distinct from the other warriors, for whom it may indeed be unfair.
But I think it is a commendation you all deserve!”
“Blanch!”
The 16 small players exploded.
In normal role-playing games, the footmen played fringe or token roles in large organizations.
But with Lord Murphy’s current position in the Blood Wyvern Clan, he could actually allow the players to become his nominal heirs, which could almost be said to be a “heavenly nonsense” opening is obviously not in line with the common sense of role-playing games.
The only explanation is that the Murphy said these “promises”, is estimated to be the development group to leave the first batch of closed beta players really “closed beta reward”.
“What should we do? I’m a bit moved.”
The oooh meow brother who had already turned into an oak apprentice had some numb claws for a while.
The temptation of this “new identity opening” in front of him even gave birth to the impulse to “delete the number and re-train”, and other players looked at him with a kind of pity!
The other players also looked at him with a kind of pity!
When encountering this kind of thing, of course, the first time to rush up and loudly ridicule, right?
“My warrior meow, you have been watched by the god of Avalon, I have the guts to not dare to snatch believers from the god of nature.”
Murphy shook his head and patted the downcast Brother Woo Meow’s shoulder as he said:
“But even without the connection of our kind, I believe there is still a bond between us, as I said earlier, I will not interfere with your decisions, but I will rejoice in your move to step into the eternal night.”
“Ding.”
The soft beep of the player interface made 16 people bow their heads at the same time in this moment.
The hidden prestige achievement “Recognition from Lord Murphy” has been lit!
Cue!
The hidden title “Murphy’s Friend” is 1/2 complete, and will be available in subsequent releases after obtaining the Prestige Achievement “Friend of the Blood Vulture”.
Tip!
This hidden achievement will not be available after the Alpha 2.0 update].
“Woohoo, out-of-print achievement Get! Benefits for veteran players get, oye!”
Good Pigeon and his dormitory brothers burst into cheers, and the others also wore happy faces.
Players, they like this kind of out-of-print stuff, even if it’s a pile of poop, out-of-print poop that’s still good stuff!
“I will offer you my heart! My lord!”
“And me!”
“And me too!”
The invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Cart Cart, Badgeron and Spicy Goo Goo Chicken swore their allegiance to Murphy on the spot one on one knee like Maxim did when he first embraced them.
But Murphy shook his head and said in a long drawn out voice:
“I thank you for your loyalty, my dear Cheche, Badgeron and Goo Goo Chicken, however you still need to pass the trial from the force . But don’t worry, that is no longer an unattainable challenge for warriors such as yourselves.
Ah, a mysterious force is telling me that you should perhaps return to your world.
Perhaps this is a sign that certain changes are coming to our world as well.
This is not known to be good or bad.
Come, let me give you a lift.
Send my most trusted warriors back home.”
Murphy raised his hand forward and walked towards the depths of the Blood Wyvern Cloisters, surrounded by 16 players, almost stuck in time as he moved forward, occasionally chatting with his initial warriors about their vision for the future of Transylvania.
Card watched the 16 players enter the Midnight Chamber at the last minute, and then temporarily turned off the projection resonance feature of the Test Administrator’s system.
He stepped into the silent chamber.
His 60 warriors were lying in various positions in the darkness of the night, but this “version update” did not count as being kicked offline, so their bodies were still solid.
Murphy raised his hand, group death grip imposed on the surrounding, let the invisible midnight noose in a “gentle” posture to lift the small players into the air, and then laid them in a sleeping position in front of the stone platform, but also considerate of their weapons also placed in their hands.
As if, the next moment these warriors will open their eyes again and draw their weapons to fight for Murphy.
“After fighting continuously for so long, it’s time for you guys to rest. After all, you guys are different from me, you still have a life that belongs to you in the other world, so don’t really get screwed by being treated like internet addicts.”
Murphy leaned on his cane, stretching in the darkness.
At this moment in time he finally didn’t have to play the role of an ever-wise, ever-uplifting NPC.
It was like removing an invisible mask.
The vampire lord cocked his head as he reached down and removed the finger that the invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex caravan lying next to him had bitten in his mouth as he fell asleep, placing it on his chest, and helping the good dove straighten the collar of his outfit.
In the darkness he turned toward the entrance to the chamber while waving his hand and whispering:
“Consider this a two day vacation for you to refresh yourselves and then come back together to finish our grand plan, good night my warriors.
Good night, my otherworldly friends.
What follows will be a less stressful time of gaming, think of it as a pastime, and as for the dangerous Black Plague emm, let’s just make it a sourcebook for now.”
