Chapter 126 125.Morality can only restrain oneself, but desire can dominate others
Expecting players to be able to keep a big breaking news a secret was a complete fantasy!
Murphy’s ding is actually just going through the NPC process and reinforcing his persona, according to his estimation, at most ten minutes later this news will be uploaded on the forums to go crazy, but to be honest he doesn’t care instead he’s still kind of looking forward to it.

A good game has to be so from time to time to get a little positive gimmick, not only can strengthen the existing players of the game viscosity, but also to attract some external attention.

Of course, Murphy this “real other world” situation is somewhat special, it is not too much need for external publicity, but Murphy as a forum administrator is also necessary to maintain a good atmosphere of the community.

Right now, the forum has only 60 players who have gotten the test invitation code, but Murphy has already approved and passed many test applications.

This means that they can also share the real-time game content news on the forums, so that their curiosity about the game continues to accumulate and eventually become a reliable and good use of “Murphy’s special type of the fourth plague”.

As for the “Experimental Midnight Son Primary” title that Che Che and Niu Niu just got, it was Murphy’s own “fabrication” using the title system, as a test administrator he has the authority to do so, but limited to the current progress of the game, he can only create a bit of primary titles. The title of the first machine is a title that Murphy made up by himself using the title system.

The most important thing is that the titles given by the title system of “this game” have specific effects after wearing them!

This predestined that the titles in this game could never be bad, and could even reach the level of rare, and could be completely regarded as part of the player’s strength.

For example, the two small players just got this.

[Experimental Midnight Son Primer: As an assistant who helped Lord Murphy explore the mysteries of the new race, you have been granted this unique title for your feats.

Please note!
This title has exactly the same effect as the ‘Midnight Son’ title in the achievement list in everything but name.

While wearing this title, life and psychic energy recovery is accelerated in the darkness of the night, and the acquisition of vampire clans’ reputation is accelerated.

The current tester is at the rank of Journeyman, and can wear the number of titles: 0/1.

Currently holds the titles: Kingslayer, Experimental Midnight Son Primer/Midnight Son.

Yes/No to wear new titles?]

“Confirmation! Give me a hard confirmation of mouth and teeth!”

As he walked out of Lady Trish’s Alchemy Hut, the invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che swung his fist fiercely in place.

In the next instant, his game ID changed to “Experimental Midnight Son Primary, Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Rook”, and the Bull next to him also wore the same title.

The two of them immediately felt like bulls, and even their walking posture became a bit more domineering.

However, unfortunately, this title can only be seen by the players, “NPC” is impossible to see their head on top of the pile of unreasonable things, and about how this title and title in the indigenous effect, it depends on the actual situation.

However, the continent itself has a tradition of calling people by their titles, such as Tris’ unique nickname “Scarlet Witch”, which has the special effect that anyone who knows the story of the Scarlet Witch will carry a unique emotion when they see her.

Anger or fear or admiration.
Well, if you look at the game’s stats, the title of Tris would be considered an epic or legendary title.

The truth was just as Murphy expected, less than ten minutes after the two little bastards had left, a thread featuring the two of them was added to the forums, detailing the entire process of this quest of theirs.

There was even a special handsome photo taken as a souvenir.

The main theme was one of deception.

Brother Woo Meow, who was also one of the three who survived, was very upset about this and ranted about it under the post.

But it turns out that the vampire faction and the witch hunter system really can only be one or the other, and it’s only natural that as an Oak Apprentice he’s excluded from Madame Tris’s trials.

As a result, the post suddenly shifted to the screenshot of Che Che’s “New Race Trial”, and the small players quickly became curious about the vampire’s initial attribute value of up to 40 points, and started a round of big argument.

Murphy felt that as an administrator, there was no need for him to get involved, so he let them continue to discuss it as a way to add gimmicks and heat to the new race and new version.

“Why are you still staying with me? Don’t you have anything to do?”

Tris’s voice startled Murphy who was sitting on a chair surfing the internet, he closed the forum interface in front of his character card and turned back to look at the disgusted Tris, he couldn’t help but say:
“I’m so unpopular with you now? Not just kissed you a little, to? You can live for almost 500 years, don’t be as sensitive as an untouched little girl, okay?”

“Ch, who was the one who suddenly did that strange thing last night and said those strange words? It’s already good enough for me to let you in the door today.”

Tris flirted as she hugged her arms:
“And it’s not like we’re in a venerable and blooded relationship anymore, Mr. Murphy, we’re now officially superior and subordinate, so shouldn’t a certain guy have a little bit of a sense of boundaries, to use your words?”

“I’m not here to report to His Excellency the Grand Duke.”

Murphy raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

He formally took out Miriam’s summary of the current situation of the territory from his psychic energy bag with the intention of reporting to Tris, but the Blood Vulture Archduchess waved her hand and said:

“Don’t tell me, I’m too lazy to listen, Cadman City and the neighboring areas are your territory, how you like to do it is your business, I don’t care about this.

Since I’m a puppet, I have to be a puppet, I shouldn’t interfere too much, lest I threaten your power and you end up using the extreme method of killing Salokdar, and then send me into eternal silence.

But you’re just in time, there’s something I want to give you.”

Tris turned around and removed something from beside her alchemy table and handed it to Murphy, which took on an irregular outline.

It was clearly a Desire Shard.

This made Murphy look at her in surprise and said:
“Isn’t this your Grand Duke’s Certificate? What are you giving it to me for?”

“It was given to you to keep! It doesn’t mean much to keep it with me, but if you can learn to use the true power of the Shard of Desire, then it will help you a lot in your next endeavors.”

Tris said with a serious expression:

“The seven original sin powers possessed by the vampire’s civilization tablet are not just dedicated to the Archduke himself, but can also be passed on to others through custodial holding.

These mysterious ‘Original Sin Powers’ are of little significance in terms of combat, and are more of a secondary function, and with the current dire situation of the Blood Vulture Clan, I don’t expect to be able to use it for a very long time.

I’ll teach you what to do with the ‘Energy of Desire’ granted by the stone tablets, I’ve seen Salokdar use it before, and it’s a very mysterious power indeed.”

“Well, I trust you won’t harm me.”

Murphy took the Shard of Desire using his psychic energy to levitate it at his fingertips, he had appraised this item before and this time when he had it in his hands he saw the familiar information label again:

Name: Vampire Civilization Tablet [1/7] – Shard of Desire

Quality: Miracle Artifact
Status:
ONE. This item has completed binding! It is currently bound to Tris Cavendina Ka Lorraine Le Sombra, with the first line of succession being Ravenor Murphy Le Sombra.

II. The special power phrase [Energy of Original Sin – Desire] is available for unlocking and waiting to be assigned, with a quota of [2/2] available for assignment.

“Ready?”

Tris asked.

Murphy nodded, and then saw the Blood Vulture Archduchess stretch out her white fingers to make a slight point on the spinning shard of desire, and a scarlet point of light wrapped around her fingertips, and was pressed against Murphy’s forehead again as Tris’s fingers moved.

“Buzz.”

The vampire’s eyes went black as marvelous fragments of visions began to bounce back and forth in his mind.

He could vaguely see several vampires in strange uniforms gathered in a strange place conferring about something, but the next instant the clips jumped to images of a catastrophe such as the sky breaking apart and erupting somewhere grander, and of vast swaths of strange creatures fleeing in terror out of some giant building.

Those clips rolled back so fast that Murphy didn’t have time to view more subsequently regaining his vision, and a new prompt popped up on his character card:
【Special Power Word 【Original Sin Energy – Desire】 has been acquired!

This power phrase originates from the Desire Fragment, belongs to a foreign power and can be retrieved at any time by the fragment’s binder.

The specific effects of this power phrase are as follows:
Gives the bearer the gift of Desire Perception, allowing the bearer to more keenly perceive the deepest desires of the hearts and minds of those around them. This talent is passive, and can be assigned to a specific person, with the success rate depending on the difference between the minds of the two parties.

This effect is affected by the Charisma attribute, when the attitude of the perceived object is friendly/admiring/intimate, the success rate of perception will increase, and vice versa, the success rate will decrease.

Currently, the match degree of [Energy of Original Sin – Desire] to the user’s individual is: Low!
After the match degree increases, this special power phrase will unlock more talents.

However, the user is requested to keep in mind that while morality can only restrain oneself, desire can dominate others!

Murphy finished reading the description of this power phrase.

He felt a little vague, and did not quite understand what this “Desire Sense” meant.

In front of him, Tris also blinked her eyes and looked at him, she had only seen Salokdar use this power before, and she didn’t know much about the way it worked, but she was sure that this power was definitely useful for a true ruler!
Salokdar’s ability to stabilize the city of Cadman and even the entire Transylvania for 400 years all stemmed from the enchantment of this Desire Energy.

She really hoped that Murphy’s fledgling career would go smoothly, just as a compensation for her forcing little Murphy to break the bloodline contract with herself.

She didn’t want this incident to form a rift between her and little Murphy.

Murphy was about to discuss with Tris how this thing would take effect, but as he looked into Tris’s demonic eyes that danced with red light, a voice suddenly seemed to echo in his ears:
“This nonsense asshole, causing my heart to always go up and down when I see him, ah, what kind of attitude should I use to face him a little better? Cold? Or the same as before?
Or maybe warm him up a bit?

This feeling of being courted is quite new.

The previous guys were either scared to death of me, or they were psychos like Parano. Well, that kiss last night was weird. Maybe another one would help me get used to it better? Should I initiate the kiss?

Ahh!
Damn that thought!
Back off!

That’s not the kind of nasty thoughts Scarlet Witch-sama should have!”

“Ha, I guess I know how it’s supposed to work.”

Murphy gave a wide smile and spoke to Tris.

The latter was about to ask, but she saw Murphy reach out and pull her wrist, gently tugging it backward, just like a replica of last night allowing their lips to touch again.

Creeped out, Tris pushed Murphy away.

She chortled:

“You’re crazy! It’s daytime!”

“But I heard you.”

Murphy pointed to his ears and told Tris:
“I can hear the words in your heart, that floating longing, maybe call it desire?”

“Ah this!”

Tris’s cheeks flushed red as she stomped her foot and cursed:
“What a nasty ability!”

“It’s okay, at least it’s good for me.”

Murphy maintained his elegant posture and got up, straightened his collar and squeezed his eyes at Tris:
“At least confirming the disturbed mind of a certain female Grand Duchess, and being able to confirm that the source of this disturbance comes from me, for a suitor, this is already a supreme commendation hmm? What did you do?
I can’t hear you.”

“A simple mind protection is all!”

Pinched fingers Tris said coldly:

“It’s very unethical behavior to wantonly peer into another’s mind, everyone deserves to have their own deep secrets, darkness that can’t and shouldn’t be revealed, and little Murphy, I’m pissed off! Truly.”

“Then I sincerely apologize, Your Excellency the Archduke.”

Murphy bent down in place to offer his apologies, however, as he raised his head, he suddenly said to Tris:

“Morality can only bind itself …”

“Desire can dominate others.”

Tris said the second half of the sentence naturally, then stared at Murphy in shock and said:

“That’s Salokdar’s mantra! Where did you hear that from?”

“It’s not just a mantra.”

Murphy raised his hand and let the shard of desire swirl around his fingertips.

He looked at the ancient contraption and explained:

“It is also the foundation and core of the operation of the Desire Energy, I can clearly perceive the power acting on the mind, and it can be shared by two people, Salokdar has it all to himself, come on Tris.

You are its possessor, and you deserve to enjoy the power of this original sin as well.”

He handed the Shard of Desire in front of Tris’s eyes, and the Scarlet Witch, curious about the manifestation of the Power of Desire that Murphy had spoken of reached out and bestowed that power upon herself as well.

In the next instant, she listened with her ear to the side, and as the other being in the room, Murphy looked at her tenderly not hiding the deep longing his heart felt in this moment.

Tris heard it.

Then she flushed red! Immediately copied the nearby dotted stick that was stirring the alchemy solution and held it back like a dagger, screaming at Murphy:

“Nasty guy, get out! Who wants to listen to your inner speech? Why didn’t I realize that you little guy was so annoying before?”

“Just wishing for a conciliatory and warm enough hug, it’s not like it’s anything against the grain.”

Murphy spat:
“You’re almost 500 years old, big sister, don’t tell me you haven’t even experienced this in such a long life?”

But seeing that Tris had already pinched out a throbbing ball of scarlet sea urchin-like converging spiritual energy in her hand in a puff of anger ready to be thrown out, Murphy immediately chose to hold off for the time being.

He backed up to the entrance of the hut and asked in a serious manner again:

“About the transfer of my psychic profession.”

“Go be your summoner!”

Tris dispersed the dangerous psychic energy in her hands and slammed a handbook from her psychic bag, adding with a stern face:

“You’re obviously talented in this area, and with the swordsman’s talent it will allow you to realize your potential faster, remember to find a few places with plenty of psychic energy with Maxim to get more senses. Don’t be in a hurry to cross the limits of power at the Black Iron rank, the better the foundation the smoother the journey will be later on.

The point of this stage is the slower the better!

Get it?

And!

Don’t go on praising me in your mind!

I know I’m in great shape, but that doesn’t make me happy, you nasty little bastard!”
