Chapter 772: The Power of Midnight rolled into one! Sure enough, I’m the one who passed

Chapter 770: 769. the power of midnight rolled into one! Surely I’m the legendary genius, right? -Added [230].

(For brother “Frost Tooth and Claw” [2/5])
Ms. Yvette obviously did not intend to accede to Laneia’s “reasonable request”, she wanted to use a cold and resolute denial to completely crush little Sasha’s boring determination to pursue the impossible “freedom”, so as to continue the “love” between her and Laneia for the past 100 years. Nia’s “love affair” of the last hundred years.

But the sudden appearance of Murphy and his curse-like questioning was like an instantaneous grasp of Yvette’s seven inches.

Let the so-called “human bulldozer” of the third lord almost instantly goat and decisively back down, this scene let Maxim once again feel the Murphy master’s “powerful”, but familiar with Yvette’s style of Ryan Nia tasted a more frightening meaning from it! The scene made Maxim feel the “power” of Murphy’s master once again.

After the three of them left Lord Yvette’s hospital room, the Bow Knight, who had received a promise, was still in a dream, she clutched Maxim’s hand, and looked at Lord Murphy again, making Murphy, who was in a rather good mood, turn around and ask:
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something unclean on my face?”

“How did you you do that?”

Laneia stammered:
“I’ve never seen Ms. Yvette so afraid of a particular item, and she would often offend Venerable Lord Paying in front of him, she is actually not afraid of the Venerable Lord at all, even if the Venerable Lord initiated a blood contract it would only allow Ms. Yvette to experience that kind of ‘masochistic’ pleasure, and it wouldn’t be able to bring her any real pain at all.

You may not be aware of this, but before she became a vampire, Ms. Yvette worshipped the ‘pleasure’ powers of the Spider Lady’s priesthood, a concept that the Shadow Elves have a rather twisted and broad understanding of, and for whom pain is merely a tool for perverted pleasure.

Because of this, mere pain does not weaken them, and this terrible ability has been retained after becoming a vampire.

But you did.

In that moment just now, through the connection between the scion and the venerable elder, I felt the fear that rolled through Ms. Yvette’s heart.

Goodness, someone as terrifying as that also felt fear.”

“Well, there’s a hint of undisguised excitement and anticipation in your voice, what? Do you think you’ve pinpointed Yvette’s weakness, so you can use that to negotiate with her? It seems that Yvette has still had certain subtle influences on education over these 100 years.

You’re planning something rather horrible, Leonia, and I advise you not to do so.”

Murphy shook his head in warning:
“Even if you ask that question I just asked in front of her, you’ll get nothing out of it other than provoking her, you weren’t given that kind of ‘power’, so it’s a weakness you know about but you can’t use.

Honestly honor your agreement with her and stop messing with that horrible woman.

Rest assured.

As long as you can accomplish the great deed of slaying the Evil God, Yvette will have to fulfill the contract, and she knows the horrible fate of recalcitrant contract.”

“God’s word?”

As a former Moon Sacrifice, Laneia quickly caught the kind of truth Murphy was trying to warn her about, so she nodded without dwelling on the issue any further, and the worries and shadows in the Bow Knight’s heart visibly dissipated a great deal after receiving the promise from her venerable elder.

It even revealed a rare smile.

This woman smiled so beautifully, with a sense of holiness from the bottom of her heart, no wonder she could make Maxim swoon over her.

Especially when she looked at Maxim, a touch of tenderness in the pupils of those blood-colored eyes did not hide from Murphy’s quiet gaze.

This made the vampire lord who thought he had done a “good deed” very happy, he patted Maxim’s shoulder and gave him a look to let him experience it by himself, and in response, Maxim’s heart was only grateful.

He knew that if it wasn’t for Lord Murphy’s sudden intervention, things would never have gone so smoothly today.

Ah, Master Murphy’s favor simply couldn’t be repaid!
“Mark, collect the pleasure of your mood of about to get a wife, I have something I need you to do, do it quietly and don’t alarm the others.”

Murphy waved his hand, making Maxim immediately solemn, he returned to the seriousness that a soldier should have, ready to accept the order, while Laneia very knowingly retreated to a position where she wouldn’t hear the two of them talking.

Wise women knew better than to interfere with the men’s business, especially in the case of Leonnia, who had been tormented for a hundred years and had never had the luxury of escaping such an obscure fate, but she now saw hope.

And so it remains.
Lord Murphy’s favor can never be repaid.

“Prepare to retreat.”

Murphy whispered to Maxim:

“The sudden outbreak of the wolf plague has worsened our current situation, the out-of-control of the Star Realm wolves means that there are problems on the gods’ side, it’s a terrible blow to morale, and the jackals won’t let go of this good opportunity.

Xu Gesen has already taken effective action, we can’t continue to be trapped in the Phantom Shadow Valley.

You need to arrange a retreat from now on!

Complete the orderly evacuation of the current valley defenders with the command while the pit is still ours, the Silver Dwarves have just completed the construction of the pit in the area of Baphomet Canyon, and our soldiers can retreat directly to the Winterwolf Legion’s campsite located there.

Arrange for only the elite to guard there, and the rest of us will continue to retreat to the line of the Filthy Swamp.

Kudel has sent word that both the Winter Wolf Legion and the Pathfinder Legion have sent warriors into the Maginot Line, and once the Blood League Knights have passed through as well, the main body of that line will take shape, and although the renovation of the Crimson Fortress is not yet complete, there is no more time now.”

“I think we can still hold out.”

Maxim pondered for a moment and said:
“The Valley of the Shadow can hold out for another week, and the most optimistic estimate is that we can hold out for at least another week, which would push us past twenty days in the Barren Hills War Zone, where the players have set themselves a goal of thirty days.

To be honest, I don’t think they will willingly retreat, their enthusiasm for fighting is still blazing and high, even driving the other defenders.

The engagement in the pit continues, even if the main force retreats we can still leave the warriors and a portion of our elite fighters behind to continue the fight, that strategic transportation line at Black Flame Pass is something that should never be given up.”

“Regarding this, the Silver Moon Regiment had already submitted their application for wanting to acquire Spectral Shadow Valley as a guild stronghold before the start of the Black Plague, and I’m sure they’ll be more than willing to continue to hold this place until the end of the war after the withdrawal of the main army.”

Murphy responded:
“The members of the Silver Moon Regiment all have official ranks, you can grant them the authority to recruit guild members among the current warriors to form the Spectral Shadow Defense Army, in addition, even if we retreat, we won’t leave in disgrace.

We will leave a ‘parting souvenir’ for Xu Gesen that he will never forget, the command is busy with this, and the other good news is that our warriors will soon receive new weapons.

The warriors at the Arsenal have finally finished upgrading their individual weapons, and the elite of the Maginot Line are now being bulk-fitted with the new firearms, and after that shipment is sent through the pits to the valley, we will launch a battle of eviction as a way of staging the retreat.”

“Then I have no further questions, Master.”

Maxim said with a nod:
“I will arrange this as soon as possible.

In addition, the command system that the players have come up with has been extremely effective over the past half a month, we should learn from them about this advanced system, and as the battle line of the Maginot Defense is very long, we do need a command to coordinate the battles of the various teams.”

“That’s a military matter, I’m not good at it, you discuss it with Kudel.”

Murphy said waving his hand:

“Or let me be a happy-go-lucky shirker and just give me an order when I’m needed on the battlefield, my General Maxim.

But you should also be prepared, Hogg’s quest for his roots is nearing its destination, and perhaps soon it will be launching a ‘War Behind Enemy Lines’ in the heartland of the Jackals, and the plan for regicide that Venerable Lord Paying and I have been pushing forward will be lined up at that point as well.

You will be involved as a representative of Transylvania and the Blood Vulture Clan, and you will be betting that winning chip on behalf of Tris and I in this black plague.”

“I will lay down my life and absolutely fulfill the mission!” Maxim answered in a deep voice, allowing Murphy to be as unquestioning as ever that his loyalist would absolutely fulfill his promise.

After watching Maxim spread his wings and fly into the sky, Murphy moved his shoulders, intending to take his cute little players into a pit to complete an exciting encounter before Tris “called” him again.

He also needs to fight to improve the proficiency of the several Ancestor’s Powers that he has obtained so far, so as to deal with his upcoming Silver Trial, although he doesn’t know in what kind of state and with what kind of posture he will complete that promotion, but Murphy can be sure that it is definitely the perfect show that can once again show off his own super strength as an NPC of the main line.

“Lord Murphy!”

Just as Murphy was about to leave, Leonia’s call stopped him in his tracks.

He turned back to the somewhat formal Bow Knight and said:
“There’s no need for that, Lady Lainnia, your contribution to the reconstruction of Transylvania is obvious to everyone, and although you’re not a member of the Blood Vulture Clan, you’re already a true ‘Honorary Transylvanian’.

Coupled with the fact that Mark is my most trusted friend, everything today is what I should do, you don’t have to see it as a burden.”

“But I still want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and offer what thanks I can give.”

The Bow Knight handed Murphy a delicate combat handbook as she said:

“This is the handbook that contains several of my secret arts, representing my understanding of power, and it will definitely be helpful to you as you are about to undergo the Silver Trials.

In addition, the handbook records the entire process of acquiring the special ancestral power-Judgment of Sin by the knights of the Blood League, even though this ancestral power can theoretically only be acquired by the Cappadocia who bleeds the blood of the Pride, the Exalted Lord has also said that vampiric power comes from the same source.

Therefore for a genius like you, it might be possible to learn such a secret technique as well.

Its increase in combat power is visible to the naked eye.

Also, if I do manage to gain my freedom from Ms. Yvette, I hope that I can wear the Blood Vulture Clan’s battle dress in the future”

“That would make you a true traitor to the Blood League, and I can’t put you and Mark through that, so center yourself.”

Murphy smiled and said:
“Accept the invitation from the Transylvanian Administrative Office to become our Ranger General and fight in the name of Transylvania as a way of not being ashamed of the freedom you did everything you could to gain. I do wonder about the unique relationship between you and Yvette, though; while I’ve always heard about exaggerated rivalries between Exalted Lords and their heirs, distortions to the extent of yours are rare indeed.

I’m guessing it has something to do with who you are?

Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it, just don’t hide it from Maxim.

The poor man is simple and stubborn, and when he decides on something he won’t let go of it unless he gets his heart broken hard.”

“It’s really nothing I can’t tell you, as you know my last name is Garland Nord, and I am a royal member of the Moon Elves.”

Leonia hesitated as she whispered:

“Our matriarch is the Queen of King Quarion and the head of the Moon Elves’ faith, and while I don’t have much of a connection to the Queen’s line, I come from a family that has been officiating at the Lunar Temple since the beginning of the Era.

My ancestor, Lady Raven, and Lady Yvette were once the closest of sisters, and some rumors say they were spiritual lovers, but when the Shadow Elves broke away from the Kingdom of Castile, Lady Raven chose between Lady Yvette and the Faith.

This was viewed as an unforgivable betrayal by Ms. Yvette, and I guess she was broken heartedly.

But my ancestor had already fallen in the Second Black Plague, so that monstrous hatred born of love was transferred to us descendants.

Fate was so callous as to bring me to my misfortune on the battlefield of the Fourth Black Plague, and at the moment of my death, when I saw Lady Yvette appear before my eyes, I knew that I had become yet another victim of her unending hatred.

I guess what you really want to ask is the identity of Lady Yvette.

I don’t know much about that, but I do know that she does not belong to one of the thirteen branches of the Shadow Elf family, and that her status in Shadow Elf society remains supreme; before she became a vampire, she was one of the leaders of Lady Spider’s Sisterhood of the Abyss, and was accidentally killed during the Fourth Black Plague’s Shadow Elf partnership with the Kingdom of Castile.

I am not sure about the process by which she was transformed into a vampire by the Venerable Lord Paying.

But that is forbidden to the Lady, and only she and the Venerable Lord know about it.”

“I see.”

Murphy nodded and smiled goodbye to Lainnia, then picked up the handbook and flipped through it in front of his eyes, and a character card prompt soon appeared:

[By repeatedly reading the handbook of battle techniques of Lainnia Sasha Garland Nord Cappadocia, a new skill ‘Moon Elf Archery/Moon Shadow Walking/Blinking Raid’ has been learned, and the current skill proficiency level is “Beginner”.

Tip: The author of this handbook has mastered various battle techniques to the level of “Master”, so by reading and practicing this handbook, you can increase your skills to the limit of “Master”.]

[After repeatedly reading Leonia Sasha Garlando Cappadocia’s manual, you have come across the high-level sword art Garlando Sword Dance, which is related to the Master Sword Art Moon Shadow Blade Dance, so please learn it after raising your life rank.

[Through repeated reading of the Battle Technique Handbook of Leonia Sasha Garland Nord Cappadocia, learn the cultivation technique of the special ancestral power – Judgement, the precondition for the learning of this ancestral power is the possession of vampire bloodline – Pride.

However, the reader has the status of Candidate of Vampire Civilization, which has the highest priority when learning about all vampire knowledge and techniques, and thus can skip the precondition to complete the learning].

“?”

Murphy blinked in surprise.

He was genuinely surprised that he had actually learned the Blood Alliance Clan’s Ancestor Power so easily, and the fact that this Civilization Candidate possessed the highest priority determination instantly gave His Excellency Murphy a rather bold idea.

He fished out two blood crystals and activated one of them, and a few seconds later, Archduke Shani’s very reluctant voice rang out from it:

“So, great Lord Murphy, what important business have you summoned your loyal collaborator for?”

“That, Shani, I would like to ask about the Thorn Clan’s Ancestral Power I heard Andre say that your unique Ancestral Power is named ‘Thorn of Night Thorns’, right? You see, I’m in the middle of the Silver Trial, so can you teach me?”

“???? Are you kidding, you don’t even have the blood of envy, how could you possibly learn our secret technique?”

“Whether I can learn it or not is my business, seeing as we’re on such good terms, why don’t you pass it on?”

“It’s not impossible, but I have a request.”

“Well, you say.”

“That nasty ancient memory resonance! Murph, fix it, I’ve had enough of that damn nuisance!”

“Uh, I’ll think of something, actually a vampire as pure as I am doesn’t really enjoy the obligatory peachy memories all that much”

“Shut up! Murphy.”
