Happy times always go by very fast, and time seems to flow differently under different emotions.
The good old days of the Holy Blood Festival seemed to be never ending, but unfortunately in the midst of the day by day revelry, time finally came to the closing day of the Holy Blood Festival.
Early this morning, several booths in the city square were removed after the last show, leaving the young and old in the city with a sad look on their faces, especially the Silver Moon’s “Gentile Fashion Show”, which was really a big job today.
The talented designer, Mrs. Shui, has brought back for a limited time twenty-seven of the most popular outfits of the past nine days.
The scene could not even be described as “colorful”, the young and old at the booth were all screaming from start to finish, and there were even young people who got nosebleeds on the spot, and there was no need to count which costume was the most popular, just from the cheers and applause that surrounded the show, you could tell that even the Transylvanians, who had a deep appreciation for “beauty”, had a very good idea of what to wear, but they did not. The understanding of “beauty” is no different from that of otherworldly men.
And that’s a sad thing.
Because Mrs. Water was not surprised to find that no matter what world men like black and the more they show, the more they like it.
Tragic!
It seems that the locals’ appreciation of beauty still needs to be improved.
But let Mrs. Water feel relieved, as the continent’s “Knight of True Love” legend carrier of the Palano Knight watched her fashion show and gave a super high evaluation, the Golden Knight even will “never wither midnight rose” this kind of strange as a “prize”. The Golden Knight even gave the girls who performed on the last day of the show a “prize” such as the “never fading midnight rose”.
As you can tell from the name, this delicate flower can maintain its bloom under any circumstances, and is by no means a precious thing that can be born in nature.
The best part is that this bouquet, which symbolizes the Knight of the Rose’s appreciation for beauty, is itself a rare piece of “strange equipment”, which does not belong to the traditional equipment sequence, but as long as it is worn, it can increase the speed of psychic energy recovery by 10% permanently.
This was definitely a generous offer.
Therefore, in the final curtain call, Mrs. Water invited Palano Knight to join them in the “show”.
She selected three sets of classic men’s attire for the Knight of the Rose, ranging from the straight and handsome black military uniform, to the classic trench coat and work cap with a humanistic flavor, to the dark and hidden mafia attire.
These were all excellent designs that could maximize the boost of masculinity, making Knight Paranoid rave about them, and he gladly debuted them along with the beautiful things he had searched for during these ten days, which resulted in the unanimous approval of the onlookers.
After all, ordinary handsome men would make men resist, however, when handsome to a certain degree, that resistance would also evolve into envy and appreciation.
The Silver Moon Regiment’s fashion show was undoubtedly the most surprising performance of the Holy Blood Festival celebration, but the other booths were actually no less impressive.
Although Big Bird Troupe’s “ten days of non-stop comedy show” was far inferior to the fashion show in terms of “traffic”, they had gained at least 1,500 pan-religionists for the Church of Avalon in these ten days, an achievement that made Old Father Eugene quite satisfied.
He even wept in front of the icon.
In his personal name, he gave the “missionaries” of the Big Bird Troupe some reliable, durable, and high-quality components from his past combat gear, plus the bounty income from the comedy show when it was good.
Brother Meow Meow roughly estimated that, although it was not clear how much they had earned, they definitely did not lose money.
Old Huo’s Charity King of Gamblers Competition had its final winner at midnight yesterday.
Major Ron from the Kingdom of Golden Sparrow had unexpectedly become the first “King of Charity Gamblers” in Transylvania!
He was awarded a 36-month gold VIP status at Treasure Bay Casino, but he certainly couldn’t go to the casino to work for Old Huo, but it didn’t matter because the remaining runners-up and third place winners, as well as the remaining five who made it to the semi-final rounds, were all recruited by Treasure Bay to be their “service staff”.
The addition of this group of veteran gamblers will make the development of Lao Huo’s casino and village more organized and develop gambling equipment that is more suitable for “local babies”.
The worst part was the student concert booth.
The audience for otherworldly pop music is still too small in the local area, and the students almost always entertain themselves, but the good news is that the player community is quite receptive to this stuff, and in the last few days of the Festival of the Sacred Blood, it’s the players who have the ability to sing who will perform on stage.
Self-entertainment mode is not bad, although there is no reward, but at least everyone harvested happiness.
Last night when the concert closed, was a few disciples coaxing push to the old Chentou also sang a special “Unforgettable Tonight”, won the applause of the audience.
Niu Niu’s a “know heart lover” is not willing to eat dog food below the audience interrupted directly bombed down, but it does not matter, the lover’s eyes out of the West, although did not finish the song, but Ambrose has been touched don’t want to.
From this point of view, no one loses.
Although the exhibition booth has been removed, the blood vulture sculpture of the Thorn Clan standing in the square has also started to melt, but the festive atmosphere in the city is still unabated, especially after the midday meal, the people in the whole square not only did not get less, but also got more.
Everyone knew that the grand finale of the Holy Blood Festival, the “Governor’s Challenge”, would be held this afternoon, which was enough to arouse the last bit of anticipation of the locals after ten days of revelry, and they regarded this big fight as the most perfect ending of this year’s Holy Blood Festival.
Those who have been following the battle are familiar with the four failed attempts by the warriors over the past few days.
They’ve been following this match almost from the beginning, seeing the Warriors fall ridiculously short on their first attempt, surge forward on their second, stabilize on their third, and come close to succeeding on their fourth.
Just yesterday, in the fourth attempt of the challenge, 40 warriors had managed to make it to the point where the second and third phases met, and they held out until the third golden powerhouse, Madame Shani, gave strong support.
According to the voice-over of Ms. Dorothy, who is the “Challenge Commentator”, in yesterday’s attempt, Governor Murphy’s life value has been knocked down to less than 20% by the warriors, and has entered a stage called “kill”.
While the natives don’t quite understand the meaning of these terms, the Transylvanians, who are always keen in matters of combat, understand that the Warriors are only one final step away from defeating Governor Murphy.
This made some people feel worried and others feel excited.
Regardless of what the audience thought, though, the four failed attempts had proven two things.
First, the mountain warriors from the Ceres tribe were really very powerful! Not only were they skilled in fighting but they were also good at learning from intense battles and adapting their tactics, their coordination, their awareness and their increasing courage were worthy of learning from everyone.
Secondly, Governor Murphy is really strong!
He himself was a Grave Sword Guard of the Black Iron rank, but he fought one against forty without losing.
This was still in the kind of venue in the sewers that limited the ability to fly and move, the time the warriors chose for the challenge was in the daytime, which was already a weak moment for the vampires, if they fought with Lord Murphy in the open area in the darkness of the night, I’m afraid that these forty warriors wouldn’t even be able to make it past the first stage.
Ah, our Lord Governor of Transylvania is really powerful!
Understanding this, it was not difficult to understand why the locals’ intention to support Murphy became more and more obvious during the ten days of the Holy Blood Festival.
The people of Transylvania worshipped a strong man!
When this strong man gave them shelter and leadership, this worship could easily evolve into obedience and loyalty under subtle guidance! Thus, from this point of view, Murphy’s small-mindedness in choosing this moment to conduct this Governor’s Challenge was basically carried out perfectly.
At 3:30 PM, the last challenge match began on time.
It was still a real-time live broadcast of the spiritual energy projection on the square, but this time, the members of Miss Phoebus’s “Red Magic Hall” came out en masse, and they adopted four different viewpoints to “live broadcast” this final challenge, which made the number of spiritual energy curtains on the square reach four, rather like a “red magic hall”. This made the number of spiritual energy curtains in the square reach four, quite a dazzling feeling.
At the edge of the crowd of spectators, in a small booth, proudly holding the nameplate and trophy of the King of Charity Gamblers in his hands, Major Ron is sitting next to Colonel Fraser, and around the two of them there is also a circle of Golden Sparrow non-commissioned officers who are preparing to return to the barracks in the afternoon.
Their eyes all lingered on the psychic curtain in front of them.
As a “foreign power”, Colonel Fraser hadn’t missed any of the challenges in the past few days, and he desperately wanted to know where the upper limit of Murphy’s strength was.
This question was also one of the answers Marshal Loren wanted to know.
As a person who has been regarded as the “enemy of the Golden Flower”, the Pioneer Corps must have as much useful information about Murphy as possible, in order to take the available means in the event of a future conflict.
“I don’t think we need to stand here and watch this silly match, this kind of public big match usually has a script, right? I don’t believe that vampire lord would risk embarrassing himself in front of all the lords by staging a real challenge.”
Major Ron stroked his “Grand Trophy” as he whispered to Fraser:
“And no matter how stubborn and powerful he is as a Black Iron, if your four Silver ranked guards find the right opportunity to swarm around him, it’s still like chopping up a melon and chopping up a vegetable. Once something like strength rises to a rank difference, no amount of skill can make up for the quality.”
“You can listen to what my guards have to say.”
The Colonel stared intently at the projection on the psionic curtain in front of him, while the lowly Silver Blossom swordsman over beside him shook his head and spoke softly to Major Ron:
“And we can’t whether the four of us can kill Governor Murphy or not, for the speed and special abilities he showed in the battle, just blocking him would be difficult to achieve, and I’m certain that Governor Murphy didn’t show all his wonted force during the battle. It has been rumored by the locals that Governor Murphy once faced a gold-ranked enemy head-on and walked away.
I used to think it was a ridiculous joke, but after seeing four fights in person, I’m beginning to lean towards the idea that there is indeed some possibility to the legend.
Major, I recognize that rank-level power disparity can mean an easy victory in many cases, but that conclusion cannot be applied to those ‘fighting geniuses’; geniuses are born to trample on tradition.”
“Are you saying that Governor Murphy is a genius?”
Ron frowned.
That Foil Fencer shook his head and said:
“Genius is just a word us mediocre people use to describe powerful people, Governor Murphy is obviously not among them, if you have analyzed this match you would have noticed that for the past four days, Governor Murphy has been using his swordsmanship against his enemies.
And in our intelligence he is also an astral summoner.
That’s the least of the ancient professions that can be theorized, so my advice to Master Fraser is that even if a clash does occur, we don’t have to resort to decapitation tactics.
Unless, of course, we can really invite a gold powerhouse and get the other party to shed their dignity to act as an assassin .”
This conclusion that was so high that it could not be theorized made Major Ron roughly understand, and he handed the trophy in his hand to his squire, and also joined Fraser in watching the challenge match that was about to start in front of him.
At the entrance of the Sewer Arena, Stick glanced at the lit up arena in front of him and Lord Murphy sitting on the “Pava” dining chair, he took a deep breath and turned back to receive the tube of pure black alchemical liquid from Feng, the sweaty pantywaist who had rushed here.
The other thirty-nine people all had such a tube in their hands.
Ah Feng was still narrating from the side:
“This is the ‘Decisive Wine’ that was only improved last night under the guidance of Mentor Bella, we tested it with jackal captives, once you drink this, it will strongly stimulate your body, granting you a super increase in a short period of time at the cost of overdrawing your life.
According to my observation, the power increase can reach up to 50%!
And the closer you are to death, the stronger the power that explodes from burning your life.
But you need to be aware that the effects of this stuff are so overbearing that I can’t fathom how the jackals found out about this deadly stuff, but even after I rendered it harmless, it’s still deadly.
If the fittest Jackal can’t last more than ten minutes after drinking it, then I think the most you guys can support yourselves after drinking it is only ten minutes, and the more intense the battle, the shorter the time it takes to take effect.”
“So, drinking it will definitely kill you?”
Che Che asked, and Feng nodded gravely and said:
“Wouldn’t doubt it, it will definitely kill you! This stuff destroys internal organs, and that aftermath is fatal, but if the life-burning is forcibly interrupted by a special method before the force is exhausted, you might be able to survive, I guess.
But that case is so rare that I can’t make a definitive statement.
That said, do you guys really want to go this far?
With all of you ‘Essence Players’ offline for three days, the group power of the players will be viciously weakened.”
“But there’s only this one chance to challenge Lord Murphy.”
Sister Pomegranate clenched the solution in her hand as she said:
“Maybe it’s only once a year, and Lord Murphy’s power is going to increase as the plot advances, so if we can’t win now, we’ll have even less of a chance later. We have to try at least once, right?”
“That’s right, this battle isn’t about mere victory or defeat anymore.”
Cat leaned on his heavy sword and said in a deep voice to the brothers beside him:
“This is also a test for ourselves! We’ve been fighting here for a minimum of two months and a maximum of four, and we’re going to see how far the once delicate urbanites can shed their skin in the world of jungle law.”
“Come on, come on, all of you take this with you.”
The living whole quite well who hadn’t acted together with everyone for a long time also put down his “business empire” today, he walked among the crowd and put a special charm into the hands of the warriors.
He explained:
“This is the ‘last stand’ spell’s spiritual energy spell, I’ve been making this kind of thing for you for the past few days, put it close to your body, just need to read the command ‘if you don’t win, you’ll die’ to activate it, these are disposable items! Instantly extract your lives into corrosive psychic energy.
No pre-shaking of the spell, instant effect.
Even Lord Murphy can’t avoid it, the only drawback is that it requires you to be completely voluntary, you can’t resist the extraction, and it’s very, very painful when it takes effect.
If you’re in a bad situation after the decapitation, use this, and use it together with Decisive Wine to make it twice as effective!”
“I think we can actually make the Victory Wine and the Last Fight Charm a daily supplement.”
Little Richie played with the charm in his hand as he grinned:
“This thing can make the scene before every time we go offline extremely exciting, and when the ‘Transylvanian Tavern’ goes live, we can even have a ‘Weekly Top 10 Exciting Offline’ clip or something, don’t you think? ”
“Hey, you kid’s a real talent!”
Brother Woo Meow, who was carrying a legendary battle axe, laughed and said:
“Just screw it! Guys, for today’s battle, I’ll see you all in the secret room at midnight.”
“Hey, there’s no pizzazz in saying that!”
Badger retorted irritably:
“It should be a bit more imposing, how about this, I’ll see you all in the Hall of Valor! Anyway, in the eyes of the locals, we’re already otherworldly War Spirits, so shouting like that fits their worldview.”
“Okay, okay, all listen to you, go! Go beat up Lord Murphy!”
The moment the warriors took the stage, among the spectators in the stands, Moe Haha especially adjusted the volume of the arithmetic treasure beads and the other players who had made an appointment with him to play the music of “Valkyrie’s Ride” as the BGM for the final battle.
The effect was quite good, and before the battle started, the atmosphere of the scene was already on fire.
And Murphy sat on the Pava chair and looked at the raging warriors below, these forty small players had become the deadliest knife in his hand, but before cutting down others, he himself had to try how sharp this knife was.
You also do not say, they contributed to their own chair is still quite comfortable to sit, no wonder the “sick zone God of War” every time on the scene to bring this thing.
“Mannis, are you ready?”
The moment he stood up, Murphy, who was leaning on the “replica Yama Saber” with both hands, asked softly, to which the cunning Endless One responded with an odd smile.
Obviously, that in the star world to avoid “enemy pursuit” has been extremely bored of the bastard snake, also can not wait to in their own territory to the foreigners to open the eyes, and after and Murphy signed the contract of the star world guardian, endless Mannis has understood the special identity of these foreigners.
It wasn’t just Murphy who had curiosity about them, the Endless One was also eager to see the essence of the Otherworldly Souls.
“Very well…”
Murphy’s wings spread as he said softly:
“In a while, if you go easy on them and scare my babies, I’m not done with you.”
