Chapter 119 118.Why did you grant me yellow clothes? You’re doing me a disservice! 5860]

Maxim’s mobility had always been very strong, especially after receiving Murphy’s relevant instructions, this loyal servant would always be the one to fulfill his master’s commands as fast as possible.

This time was no different.

Even though Murphy had only let Mrs. Adele notify Maxim to lead the Cadman self-help army to enter the collapsed Blood Vulture Cloister to dig out the buried secret treasure vault the night before, at dusk the next day, a heavily armed soldier came running to report the progress of the work to Murphy.

They had dug out a corner of the secret treasure vault.

This made Murphy unusually surprised, was the progress of the project so fast?

In his memory the collapse of the entire hall of sacred blood but triggered the overall collapse of the building deep in the corridor, according to reason that the secret treasure vault is buried in the center of the location is not so easy to clean out, Murphy gave it to the expected three days to see the light of day even if it is a victory.

However, after personally going down to the collapsed Blood Wyvern Corridor to check, Murphy only found the clues.

The broken situation of the Blood Vulture Corridor was not as tragic as he had imagined.

In particular, although the area heading to the center of the corridor was crushed by the collapsed corridor dome, the underground cavern that was the original area of the Blood Vulture Corridor was still very solidly constructed, except for the large cavern patio that was blasted out by the Spiritual Energy from the outbreak of the Sacred Blood Pool, which led straight to the surface and had already collapsed.

And Maxim and the soldiers under his command easily re-entered the Blood Wyvern Cloister through the secret passage of the cave that Murphy and the old knight Finok had taken before.

As for the excavation of the secret treasure vault, it was even easier.

In order to protect the wealth and treasures of the Blood Vulture Clan, the vampires had used a large amount of iron to mold a layer of fine gold for the outer layer of the vault in order to protect the wealth and treasures of the Blood Vulture Clan, and it was this incredibly strong thing that protected everything in the vault during the collapse of the corridor.

It had been turned upside down and crushed in a grotesque position in the rubble, but was intact as a whole.

“My lord! I am fortunate to have been able to do so! The secret treasure vault has been dug out, in addition our men found the armory of the clan leader’s own guards underneath the cloisters along with a huge storage for a lot of Bloodservant equipment. The place is being cleaned up and it may take a few days before it can be reopened.

But you won’t have to worry about the next supply of armaments anymore.”

Maxim, who still had his arm in a bandage, saluted Murphy with his left hand.

Behind him was the found secret treasure vault, its psychically blocked door dangling diagonally above, while Murphy nodded and reached out to remove the miser’s treasure vault seal and stamp it on the door, which opened outward with a crisp click.

“Come in.”

Murphy spoke to his loyal servant.

The two walked in and were met with complete splendor.

The gold nuggets that were made into rectangles and filled most of the packages were scattered all over the ground in the violent vibration, while the gold coins of Portia that were packed in the boxes were spilled out like waterfalls, and there were also all kinds of precious treasures and artworks that were collected by the family and also dotted on them.

It was like a super treasure that had experienced the change and scrubbing of time in the legend, it was simply a real-life replica of the dragon’s treasure, and even with this amount of money, it was enough to buy the entire land of Transylvania.

So these vampires are all hamsters, right?

How in the world did they manage to save such a huge amount of money in 400 years?
Such terrifying wealth in front of him made Maxim’s breath pause at this moment, but he quickly came to his senses, these were all treasures that belonged to Lord Murphy, and no one else was allowed to get their hands on them!

“If it is said that the Blood Vulture Clan’s accumulation in 400 miles is just this amount of money, I will definitely be very, very disappointed.”

Murphy’s even mere wealth was no longer worth mentioning to his current position, so he didn’t have too many other feelings at this time, and while stepping on the gold coins piled up like sand in front of him with his own boots, he bent down and reached out to fumble a few compact Spirit Energy Boxes out of the pile of gold coins.

It wasn’t that he had already cleansed his mind to the point that he could ignore the temptation of wealth, it was just that now as a lord Murphy had to consider the issue in a deeper level.

The Ten Years’ War had destroyed Transylvania’s already underdeveloped agriculture, and Cadman City, which practiced rationing at the end of the war, had essentially suffered a double crisis of economy and food.

Right now, so much money piled up together is indeed appealing to the eyes, but the thought that he has to prepare never enough food and resources for the next territories, Murphy’s head is a burst of big.

The worst thing was that it was already October, and the temperature becoming cooler meant that fall had arrived.

And the relentless winter followed close behind!

The image that sticks out most in Murphy’s memory is that of himself being carried back to the courtyard by Tris when he was sleepy and hungry and close to death on a snowy night in Cadman City, which meant that winters in Transylvania snowed and could freeze to death.

And then there are the prisoners and stragglers of the coming war!
Manpower was valuable, but to just bring them back dead or alive was going too far.

He set himself the goal of having at least 2,000 players in six months, according to the territory feedback of 1%, that means that the area under his command should have at least 200,000 people, so many people just long-term food needs can not be some gold can not be dealt with.

So, these golden things were nothing in Murphy’s eyes! In the extreme hunger, a piece of gold is not even as good as a piece of bread, and if a piece of bread to 500,000 marks will bring what result, Murphy has long been clear.

If Murphy can’t take care of the food and material supply before freezing to death, then his territory, not to mention the black plague outbreak, I’m afraid that before the jackals come to demolish the house, he himself is going to be overthrown by the hungry and cold lords.

These things would simply make him feel a headache just thinking about it.

Luckily, he had the omnipotent little players, and he, the lord and NPC, would have to learn to trust the players’ whole living wisdom in this regard, because if he didn’t, he was afraid that this territory would really be hopeless.

“Snap.”

Murphy opened the small psionic chests that held delicate scarlet rings with the crest of the Blood Vulture Clan but no specific names within the rings.

These rings are the “proof of identity” that the Blood Vulture Clan specially prepares for its official members, and every clan has something similar, which is said to be made by the Secret Blood Clan, one of the seven major vampire clans that are the “wise advisors and record keepers”, and is issued once every three hundred years to be used for the clan’s expansion. Expansion.

Only those who wear the Blood Wyvern Ring are recognized as full-fledged members of the clan.

What?
Why didn’t Murphy have one before, you ask?
With his previous status and position, it would be crazy for him to have his own seal ring.

Cuice’s Elder’s Seal Ring was recalled more than a hundred years ago, as Cuice’s bloodline, Murphy was theoretically just a fringe member of the family, the kind that would not be counted as a full member of the Blood Wyvern Clan.

There were actually not many vampires in his situation, as the Secret Blood Clan gave a limited number of Blood Seals to each clan every three hundred years, which was obviously a way to control the number of vampire clans so as not to break out into large-scale conflicts with other races.

However, every family has a large number of “black families” like Murphy in private, and that ancient rule related to the “code of avoidance” has long existed in name only.

The box in front of Murphy’s eyes contains nearly 300 rings.

He took out one of them and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully, the ring made of psychic secret silver can be adjusted according to the size of the finger, and the delicate interface is inlaid with blood crystals, and when he looked closely at the crystals, he saw the reflection of the emblem of a winged blood vulture in the crystals.

It looked full of mystery.

This was the representative of a transcendent race in the world, and the precipitation of a civilization that had been passed down for thousands of years.

However, the Blood Vulture Clan is gone.

Salokdar had sacrificed over 10,000 of his elite clan members to create a divine monster in subspace, and another 10,000 or so had been swept into the Astral Plane along with 150,000 people from the entire city of Cadman in the Reality Tear.

Less than a tenth of the survivors who had survived had retreated into the shadows, not risking poking their heads out until they were sure it was safe and they had received their summons.

Murphy wasn’t even going to recruit the ones in hiding either.

He even hoped that they would never jump up again to cause trouble for him, perhaps he should “talk” with the witch hunters about the commission and reward for this matter.

Murphy narrowed his eyes, and then cast a grimace, tossing the ring in his hand to Maxim behind him.

The loyal servant took it in his hand with some emotion.

In the past, he had never dared to hope for this thing, but now looking at the handful of rings in Master Murphy’s hand, Maxim instantly had a sense of unreality. Until this moment, he finally confirmed that his great Master Murphy had already grasped the power of a family!

And he had done this in just less than a month!
“Master Murphy, next…”

Maxim grasped the ring in his hand as he couldn’t help but ask:

“I mean, do you you want to be crowned as the Blood Vulture Archduke?”

“Hm? Why would you have such a strange idea?”

Murphy, who was yanking out several luxurious vampire swords that could definitely be called divine weapons from the pile of gold coins, looked back at Maxim in surprise as he played with the high-level psychic weapons in his hands that were all at least of the Finest-Union level, including a psychic scepter whose craftsmanship was exaggerated to the Finest-[Unique] Juggernaut level.

This was already the most high-grade weapon that could appear in the mortal world under the Miracle Creation, an absolute divine weapon that was above the continent, not yet included in the legends but only one step away.

Unfortunately, all of these things had an exaggerated demand value limit.

Even the current Murphy couldn’t use them let alone his own players, they should all be reserved for the absolute core members of the family, or even the spare weapons that Salokdar left for himself.

Murphy threw these several divine weapons with unique names with yellow descriptions into the psychic energy bag and casually said: “That position isn’t my turn yet, Miss Fimis is still here, the fact that Venerable Lord Paying summoned her to inquire about the situation has actually hinted at that Venerable Lord’s consideration for the Blood Vulture Family’s inheritance.”

“As long as she’s dead there’s no problem!”

Maxim said in a cold voice:

“It doesn’t even require you to do it yourself, the hands of an Exalted One cannot be stained with such blood, Adele and I will take care of all of this, as long as you nod your head.”

Murphy didn’t reply.

Once again, he felt Maxim’s loyalty.

Simply loyal, but more or less out of place.

“Come and help me gather the weapons and armor here, as well as the rare psionic trinkets, keep these for yourselves and use them later when you’re stronger, or wait until later to gift them to the warriors as rewards.

As for their rewards this time, take some out from the arsenal of the clan leader’s own guards that you just found, in addition you have to do a tally and report back to me afterward.”

Murphy dropped a few contraptions that were also high-level equipment onto the pile of gold coins, and Maxim took out a psionic bag to pack them up.

The two masters and servants rummaged through this luxurious place for usable items, and after a few minutes of silence, Murphy spoke:

“Perhaps this will disappoint you a bit, but Mark, I don’t intend to become an Archduke of the Blood Vulture.”

“Why?”

Maxim, who picked up a golden lion spear and was “salvaging” various colors of equipment in the “Sea of Gold Coins”, said in surprise:

“You deserve all of this, when Salokdar poisoned Transylvania, it was you who brought us back to the territory, and it was you who saved the survivors! It was also you who contributed to the fall and atonement of Salokdar.

You saved the land!
More than once!
This land owes you thanks and loyalty.”

“But if I become Archduke of the Blood Vulture, that means I choose my side.”

Murphy sighed and sat on top of the “hill” piled with gold coins and bars, he said as he flicked the gold coins in a bored manner and listened to the crisp and pleasing sound of their collision:

“That’s right, after I become an Archduke, I can indeed control the entire family and demand the loyalty of those members of the Blood Vulture who are in hiding, but if I gain these, I will inevitably lose some others.

Mark, you have to learn to see things from a higher level.

The survivors.
They’ve been oppressed and ruled by vampires for 400 years, and just because they obey doesn’t mean they don’t have resentment, and they respect me now for obeying me not because I’m a vampire and their master, but because I can protect them and lead them.

However, the majesty of leadership that I have managed to build up will go up in smoke the moment I take office as Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture Clan.

In their eyes I would become yet another spokesman for the centuries of suffering in this land, and their respect for me would quickly turn to fear and inherit that previously accumulated resentment.

I have gained so much resentment when all I can gain is a group of cunning vampires who are not loyal and have already suffered greatly.

It was a deal.

If it were you, would you make that decision?”

Maxim stopped what he was doing, frowning as he thought about the issue at hand from Murphy’s point of view, and he soon realized that it seemed .
Seemed.
It did seem a little less cost-effective.

If Lord Murphy had taken over a full-fledged Blood Wyvern clan, with more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 vampires under his command, then it would be worth a fight, but right now this clan, which had already existed in name only, really wasn’t worth doing so.

“What is the essence of domination, I don’t have an idea yet.”

Murphy grabbed a handful of gold coins and placed them in his hands, letting them slip through his fingers.

He said to his loyal servant:

“But the least I can say for certain is that a ruler cannot be the enemy of his people! Fear may be an effective means of domination, yet senseless hatred has no need to be tainted into one’s hands.

Becoming Patriarch and Archduke I can only rule over vampires.

But if I am Lord, if I am Governor of all of Transylvania, then even the new Archduke of the Blood Vulture Clan can only bow before me and take orders!

Vampires, too, are but one of all the races that inhabit the land of Transylvania.”

Maxim’s eyes rounded.

He immediately understood what Master Murphy meant, it wasn’t that Murphy didn’t want the title of Archduke of the Blood Vulture, but rather that His Lordship couldn’t even look at the throne of the head of a tiny vampire clan.

That wouldn’t add to his glory, it would only constrain the spread of his majesty.

“Your ambition is as unfathomable as your wisdom, my lord.”

The loyal servant bowed his head heartily and said:

“It is foolish me who sees too simply. But, my lord, even if you don’t see the throne, you can’t just throw it away to the Lady Phemis; I don’t hold it against her personally, but her character
at least, does not seem to me to be fit to be chief.

As you said, you will rule over all life throughout the land of Transylvania, and the vampires are one of your subjects, and as such, the Blood Vulture Clan should be in your hands.

As I see it, it would be better to let Adele inherit .”

“Her status is too low, Venerable Lord Paying won’t agree to it, and we now have to look up to that Venerable Lord’s majesty in order to protect ourselves.”

Murphy rubbed his chin.

He revealed a subtle smile and said to Maxim:
“Aren’t you forgetting someone?

Someone who can call Salokdar ‘honored’ and ‘father’ just as well as Phimis, someone who is close to me and whom I am certain would never harm us, someone who possesses great wisdom and connections and who has some history with the Venerable Lord Paying as well.

That’s a person who just saved us in a crisis of destruction.

That is a person who was the most suitable person to become the Archduke of the Blood Vulture in my mind from the very beginning.”

“!”

Maxim’s eyes widened as he lost his voice:
“You mean, Lady Tris…”

“Correct!”

Murphy laughed, reached out and clapped his hand on Maxim’s shoulder and said:
“I will not become the Blood Vulture Archduke, but my esteemed elder will sit firmly on that throne and become the most supportive force in the Transylvanian land under my rule. She has suffered so much in the last hundred years or so, and it is owed to her by Salokdar and the entire Blood Vulture Clan!

His Holiness Pa’ying’s side would not refuse such an ancient legacy either.

In every way, Tris is far more suitable than Phimis.”

“What a perfect decision!”

Maxim also perked up as he said:

“Then we must finish this coronation as soon as possible, we have to hurry to complete the replacement of the new Archduke before Ms. Phymis is brought to His Holiness Pa Ying.”

“What’s the point of bothering with that? Formalism is more or less out of place in these difficult times at the moment.”

Murphy shook his head with disinterest and said:

“The entire Blood Wyvern Clan is still here in the old land and there are only two or three of us left, I have already greeted Miriam and Adele.

They are bringing Miss Femis this way. You personally go and invite Tris to come over, don’t talk about business, just tell her that I found something important in the corridor, in addition, invite Knight Lord Paranor and his three squires to come over together.

They are to be spectators and witnesses to this scene today.”

After saying that, Murphy reached out and gently grabbed at the pile of gold coins next to him, and a lady-style vampire crown fell into his hand, he reached out and patted the remaining gold coins off the crown, and said to Maxim:

“Prepare yourself! The day after tomorrow, I will perform your first embrace here after the victory celebration. Blazing loyalty must be returned with supreme praise, and there is no doubt that you deserve it, Mark.”
