Chapter 166: 165 Warrior Bull and the Hammer Guards
Chapter 166 165.Warrior Bull and the Hammer Defender
“Holy shit! Are all these people over there passing the Black Iron Trial?”
Precipice Ox, one of the “famous warriors” under the Blood Vulture Clan, was not afraid to open the forums in the game and let out a cry of sorrow after browsing through today’s hot posts.
The number of people who had passed the trial had now reached 16!
And the most terrifying thing was that he wasn’t among them!
Things shouldn’t have developed this way, as a player who had been maintaining the first echelon of power, he should have been among the first batch of players to pass the Black Iron Trial, however, now not only did he have no way to pass the trial, he didn’t even have a way to meet the beloved Lord Murphy and Mrs. Tris!
Because Bull had already left Transylvania.
That’s right!
This gym student was probably the first of all the players to leave the “newbie village”, and it wasn’t because he was lost or had a strong desire to explore, it was purely because of the “Sister’s Quest”.
“I shouldn’t have listened to your compulsion to come here to brush the NPC’s warrior title, well, now the warrior title is brushed, but I can’t even take the main quest!”
Angry and annoyed, Niu Niu temporarily went offline, took off his helmet and took out his cell phone to dial over to his old sister.
There was a burst of complaining when the call was answered.
“Huh?”
From over there came the voice of Sister Pomegranate, who was obviously in a daze as she had just woken up from her nap, but she soon regained her competence and shrewdness, and got up and washed up while speaking to her oldest brother on the phone in a roundabout way:
“You trust me, you’re in the best place you’ve ever been, when can’t you pass the Black Iron Trial? Ranks don’t mean much in this game, so don’t rush, be patient and come down to gather intel over there.
Since you can follow the witch hunters to leave the borders of Transylvania and enter the East Prussia region, it means that the game development group has long since finished the map outside, at least the map of this circle around Transylvania has been finished.
Just because our players are not strong enough to receive the series of quests to leave the novice village.
Now you’re the only player there, although because of the contact distance caused by the operation pearl can not be used, but its basic function is still there.
Turn around in the Pioneer Legion’s barracks more often and trigger more quests.
Haven’t you already unlocked the Pioneer Legion’s reputation? Now tell me about the situation on your side.”
“There’s no special situation.”
Bull replied with a helpless face:
“I’ve been staying here since I followed the witch hunters back to the barracks, the Pioneer Legion’s internal military discipline is strict, there’s no way for me to enter their barracks and move around, Ms. Natalie has been busy integrating the remaining forces of the White Oak Battle Regiment for the past few days since she came back.
Thanks to the blessing of the Great Oak Sacred Blade in her hand, the veterans’ acceptance of her is not bad.
But there were also some pricks who were unwilling to recognize her leadership.
Mainly because Natalie’s strength was a bit poor.
Norman, Porter, and Ambrosia under her command have been assisting her in receiving the warband, and I, as Miss Ambrosia’s warrior, have been running after her, but this NPC seems to be afraid that I’ll go back to Transylvania and become a vampire, so she’s been trying to persuade me to accept the Witch Hunter’s power system.
She said she could help introduce me to powerful silver veterans to train me.”
“Then you accept it.”
Sister Garnet, who was brushing her teeth, said vaguely to her oldest brother:
“It’s not like you’re particularly fond of vampires, you don’t have to come back and switch.
Moreover, your attribute preference is honestly not too suitable for a race like vampires that takes the route of dexterity, and the Avalon Church’s power system is also very perfect, so maybe you can even turn into a white knight or something in the future.
You see how powerful that old man knight is?”
“I don’t! I’m going to turn vampire! That was my original pact with Lord Murphy in the village of Moorland!”
Bull said loudly over the phone:
“Anyway, I don’t care, one more day here and I’m departing back to Transylvania, I’ve got the map of the vicinity of East Prussia for you, and I’ve gathered the Pathfinder Legion, so my job is done.”
“Fine, fine, whatever you want, okay?”
Sister Pomegranate had no choice but to pacify her somewhat grumpy cousin.
After hanging up the phone, after freshening up, she made herself a simple breakfast in the kitchen, and after eating it, she picked up her gaming helmet after moving around a bit.
“The action of compelling Bull to follow the witch hunters out of the novice village proves that this game is free to explore! The development team didn’t explicitly say so, but from the series of intelligence from the Pioneer Legion and the Goldenrod Kingdom, it’s clear that they’ve already done a large portion of the game’s content.
At the very least, the human civilization’s territory should be largely complete.”
In the glow of logging into the game, Sister Pomegranate thought:
“Since this news has been confirmed then it proves that Lumina’s action of collecting legends from all over the world has gained significance, if we consider it only from the aspect of strength, then those legendary weapons and equipment might be worth our small team’s time to look for them.
Of course, we can’t go too far in this current situation, the most we can do is to go to East Prussia or Ice Bay.”
On the other hand, Bull, who had put on his game helmet again, opened his eyes in the camp barracks of the Pathfinder Legion, he had already been here for two days, and was now homeward bound.
As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a steaming baked potato being handed to his eyes.
“Huh?”
Ox was taken aback.
Then he saw Ms. Ambrose with an eye patch standing right in front of him, cupping another small half-eaten baked potato in her hand.
“You’re so asleep, I can’t even wake you up by kicking you.”
Ms. Ambrose said with a teasing tone:
“With this you still dare to call yourself a warrior under that vampire Murphy’s command? You’re afraid you won’t survive a night out there with that kind of vigilance.”
This witch hunter scout of the White Oak Warband and Bull were obviously very familiar with each other.
Mainly because at Sister Pomegranate’s request, Ox had been brushing up on her personal reputation, and had already received the system recognized title of “Warrior of Ambrosia” yesterday.
This was obviously a symbol of goodwill.
In the translation of the player interface, Ox realized Ambrosia’s joke, and he took the baked potato with a hefty smile and peeled off the skin and stuffed a bite into his mouth.
It was more or less inconvenient for the two of them to talk to each other all by relying on the precious pearl to translate.
As Ox finished eating the baked potato and clapped his hands, ready to get up, he saw Ms. Ambrosia mysteriously take out a strange object from her psychic energy bag and hand it to him.
It looked like a pendant-like metal object, and judging from the small wire-like connector that was exposed, this thing might also belong to the category of “steam engineering”.
Bull didn’t understand what this thing was for, he took it in his hand and was about to start the item identification, when he saw Ms. Ambrose shook her head, reached out, took it and connected it to a hidden interface of the computing pearl on Bull’s wrist.
“Swish.”
A prompt immediately popped up on the character interface in front of Niu Niu’s eyes:
[Detected the third-generation Arithmetic Treasure Pearl’s external accessory ‘Mind Microphone’ module accessed, translation module updated! The ‘Simultaneous Interpretation’ function is on! Testers can now complete the translation by voice!
“Huh?”
Niu Niu let out another surprised sound, and then he heard Ms. Ambrosia clear her throat and say to him:
“Can you understand me when I speak now?”
“I’ve always been able to understand it, I just had to convert it to text to . Crap! I can understand you now? Is that so amazing?”
Bull exclaimed.
After this tiny mind microphone was loaded into the arithmetic jewel, Ms. Ambrosia’s words would be directly converted into his side of the language and be understood by him in the form of simultaneous translation, while Bull tried to turn on the translation module and said to the Ms. Ambrosia in front of him:
“Can you understand me now?”
Again, it was a simultaneous translation of two vocal channels,
Although it was an emotionless electronic voice, Ms. Ambrose could clearly understand Bull’s “complicated mountain people’s language”.
She nodded, let out a long breath, and explained:
“This is an attachment I asked one of my little homies in the Tower of the Ring to get for me, I heard him say it was awesome, but I couldn’t quite figure out how it worked. But now I can finally talk without having to read the words.”
“This thing is awesome.”
The Ox let out a sigh of emotion as well, but then he said to Ms. Ambrose:
“That. I’ve been delayed here for a long time, so I’m planning to leave tonight to return to Transylvania, and I thank you for taking care of me for the past two days, Ms. Ambrose.” “Just call me Ambos, Ms. something always feels too formal.”
The tiny scout waved her hand, and she pushed her eyepatch back up, her expression becoming serious as she addressed the bull:
“But I hope you don’t go back you’re very talented Bull, the veterans of the warband say you’re the fastest learning human they’ve ever seen, and that your talents should be put to better use than running back to join the vampire’s banner or even become one of them.
Those dark familiars have caused terrible hidden problems for humanity over the past centuries.
You can’t aid and abet them!”
“I know that vampires are bad people, and I have no illusions about their character, but Lord Murphy is different!”
Bull shook his head very stubbornly:
“He has expounded on his philosophy to me! He wants to build a new city in Transylvania where everyone is equal, and I know he’ll be able to do it, and that’s what I came to this world to do! I must be a part of it.”
“He’s just lying to you, he’s no different than any other vampire, no! That Murphy is clearly more dangerous than any other vampire!”
Ambrosia clearly couldn’t understand Bull’s choice.
This probably stemmed from the fact that the squad she was in had suffered a great loss at the hands of Murphy, causing her to never have a good impression of him, but when she saw Bull’s stubborn expression, Ambrosia knew that she couldn’t convince this stubborn young man.
However, this naive and brave young man had been following her around hunting evil spirits for the past period of time, which made it impossible for Ambo to watch this simple child fall into the vampire’s trap.
Even though she was only ten years older than Niu Niu in terms of age.
She sighed and said:
“Forget it, it’s your life and I have no right to interfere with it. The fact that you took the initiative to escort us out of Transylvania already proves that you are a rare and loyal warrior in that land, and that you can have a better life.
I mean.”
“Ambrosia! Bring that tall apprentice warrior of yours quickly!”
Old Potter’s ragged voice rang out from beyond the barracks as he called out:
“Assemble at Lady Natalie’s barracks! Something’s wrong!”
“Huh?”
Ambrosia and Bull glanced at each other, and the two of them immediately rushed toward the door.
—
“Thank you for your help, Murphy-sama, I really didn’t know who to call.”
In the outer city of Scarlet Fortress, Little Vikrama smiled and said thanks to Murphy who was following him:
“I tried to visit Baroness Miriam, but I was stopped by her guards, the Baroness now has to coordinate and take charge of all affairs of the entire new territory, I understand that she is very busy, so I can only ask for your help to let me meet with her.
About that powerful and rare weapon she holds”
“You’re quite the little wit.”
Murphy maintained a gentle smile and actually spat harshly in his heart.
Previously, seeing that Little Vikrama had passed the Black Iron Trial with great skill, he had sent her a task of “Praise for Crazy Skill”, but in the end, this task actually fell on himself.
His original intention was for Vikrama to brush up on Miriam’s goodwill.
However, he had overlooked how busy Miriam was as the Scarlet Consul.
The small players couldn’t even see Miriam’s face right now, so taking quests to brush up her favor was naturally nonsense.
However, little Vikrama was the first “Warrior” she chose, so it was only right to give her a little bit of favorable treatment, and it just so happened that Murphy also wanted to talk to Miriam about the contract that he had just signed with the Kingdom of Nodetov.
It is more appropriate to leave this kind of professional matter to a professional person like Miriam to deal with.
After seeing Murphy coming over, Miriam’s two blood servant guards immediately saluted their lord and made way for him.
Little Vikrama joyfully followed behind Lord Murphy and walked into the Scarlet Consul’s office in the outer city, which was one of the few buildings in the outer city that hadn’t been affected by the Astral Disaster and the Great Fire, and had once belonged to a wealthy local merchant .
Well, the dark humor of the matter was that the house was owned by the same wealthy merchant that Miriam had almost become his family’s daughter-in-law.
Apparently the Scarlet Consul’s destiny was too hard to be suppressed by a mere Blood Servant merchant, and as a result, his entire family died on the day the Star Realm Rift opened.
What a tragedy.
But why did Murphy want to let out a laugh every time he saw this small courtyard?
It was too tragic.
“Lord Murphy?”
Miriam would still be writing furiously in her office this time, revising certain laws in the camp, with more and more people, the simple and rough management style from before would have to be adjusted accordingly.
In the office there was also that very elegant Professor Malcolm who was also busy, seeing Murphy come in, both of them got up at the same time to greet him.
Murphy waved his hand, and first talked about the matter of little Vikram, and then talked about the matter of Nordoff’s contract, which is the main thing, the three administrators immediately discussed it, and little Vikram also successfully got Miriam’s “Hammer Guard” trench gun to appreciate it.
The shape of this fine weapon gifted by Major Fraser was full of the heavy and violent style of the dwarves, and its body was almost as tall as the dwarf Vikram.
The two black holes of the muzzle were arranged up and down plus the axe blade bayonet hanging upside down below, making this thing look like a dwarven sledgehammer that was so heavy that it could break down all obstacles.
Little Vikramana immediately took a liking to it.
She loved the violent aesthetics of a gun that would never appear in reality, and at the same time, as a shooter specialist, she really needed such a shotgun-type weapon that could clean up everything at close range.
The properties of this thing were pretty awesome as well:
Name: Hammer Defender – Classic Dwarf Close Quarter Trench Gun
Quality: Fine Work – Commander-in-Chief
Trait: Excellent Ranged Attack – Excellent Ranged Critical Strike – Extremely Effective Ignition – Indestructible – Melee Axe Blade
Special Effects:
As a classic Dwarven Trench Gun, this weapon has superb lethality at medium and close ranges, with very different special effects depending on the ammo loaded into the weapon.

Currently belongs to: [Baroness Morland] Miriam
Item Description:
[This weapon was gifted to House Carpe by the Dwarf Commander of Brass Fortress as part of a thank you gift for House Carpe’s selfless assistance to Brass Fortress during the Fourth Black Plague.
It represents the Dwarves’ supreme mastery in the art of gunfire, as well as a rare piece of killing art! While holding it, even the gods will listen attentively to this deafening truth in your hand].
“Wow, mom and dad, I’m looking for the dream gun of my life! I’ve got to get my hands on this thing!”
Little Vikrama would be dying to pick up this gun and lick it as hard as she could.
Because Murphy personally brought her here, the shrewd Miriam did a favor, intending to contact her “senior” who was far away in East Prussia, to see if she could get the Hammer Guard’s design drawings.
Ordinary arithmetic beads could not complete the communication at this distance, but Major Fraser was the intelligence chief of the Pioneer Corps, he had the right to use the Corps’ arithmetic bead communication increase attachment, so Miriam could complete the communication with him individually.
But after the communication was connected, Miriam’s expression turned odd.
After half a minute, the scarlet consul put down the arithmetic treasure pearl in his hand and said to Murphy with a serious expression:
“Lord Lord! Over there in the White Oak Battle Group, it seems like something has happened!”
