Chapter 297: 296 Successful Conclusion of the War to Destroy the Jackals

Chapter 297: 296. Successful Conclusion of the Jackal Eradication Battle
On October 30th, Era 1111, the first late fall rain in Transylvania came as expected, and after the rain fell overnight the next day’s temperature all dropped significantly, Professor Malcolm came to work with an extra trench coat on.

Its style is the classic men’s long trench coat that has never appeared in this world, you don’t say, after wearing the otherworldly style clothes made by Mrs. Water’s apprentices, it makes the already elegant professor have a little more charm unique to an old man, so that a group of young girls in the administrative office always look at it from time to time.

“Winter is coming.”

The professor, who was the first adjutant of the consul, was not in the mood to focus on his masculinity at this time.

He stood by the window of his office, looking at the third residential building that was being constructed in the city in a hurry, and was more or less worried in his heart.

“According to this current progress, it should be possible for the lords to move into their new houses before the first snow falls, but there’s no telling if that ‘underfloor heating’ system designed by His Excellency the Gray Man will take effect.

It’s a good thing that the Batasin Chamber of Commerce’s activity has allowed for enough food, and the catch from the Ice Bay region has been sent to the underground storage cellar in Scarlet Fortress, so next it’s time to have the collectors gather some fruits and vegetables that can be stored as soon as possible.”

The professor turned around to record his thoughts on his administrative handbook, there were many more livelihood issues that worried him.

For example, the upcoming recruitment of stragglers to the entire Transylvania range, if those stragglers couldn’t be properly placed before the cold winter arrived, it could easily lead to a terrible disaster.

Fortunately, the wise Professor Chen had already provided him with a simple construction plan of centralized huts with “ground dragons”, and the construction time of those buildings was short enough, but it was estimated that he would have to hurry up and plan out a few more large centralized camps for the displaced people to live in.

The other thing is those blood servant captives who will be sent back to Transylvania soon, although the plan to resettle these guys has been determined, but how to guide them to reintegrate into Lord Murphy’s new order is also a problem that needs attention.

“Bang, bang.”

A knock on the door interrupted Professor Malcolm’s thoughts.

He looked up to see his secretary, his wife, and his former student, Fna, walking into the office with several letters.

Not one to skimp on showing her love for her husband when the two were alone, Mrs. Furna kissed the professor on the cheek, slipped a few letters into his hand, and said:
“These are replies from your students and friends, forwarded through the Carpe family’s messenger channels, but I suspect you may be disappointed.

They do not seem interested in your invitation.”

“Isn’t that to be expected?”

The professor sighed and said while opening the envelope:

“They are different from Miriam, they already have their own life and career plans, and if they hadn’t suffered a life change, it is expected that no one would be willing to give up their cushy lives elsewhere to come to Transylvania, a closed land.

Speaking of which, Fna, are you still planning to move to Batasin City with the kids? Why don’t I apply to Lord Lord and send you and the children back to Chardo Harbor first?”

“Hmph.”

At the mention of this issue, Lady Furna suddenly grunted as she crossed her arms and scolded her husband:

“Can I even leave now? You’ve gotten me so many ‘students’ for me to teach them, what am I going to do with the kids in those administrative classes if I leave now?
You just keep on being bad!

But it’s true that the two children can’t stay in Transylvania, they need to be educated, and they’ll have to be sent back to Chardonnay Harbor at the beginning of spring next year to be handed over to our friends to take care of them for us.”

“Next spring . Yes, they need to be sent away before the Black Plague arrives.”

The professor thought of the risk of the Black Calamity’s imminent arrival instantly filled with guilt towards his wife, he held Ms. Furna’s hand and whispered:

“It’s all my fault for having to stay here and getting you involved in this whirlpool.”

“No need to apologize, my Malcolm.”

Ms. Furna, however, took it in stride, and as she smiled and reached down to help the professor straighten her florid hair, she whispered:
“I know you’ve been beating yourself up over your wasted life in the war, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so energized.

It is clear that you have found some sort of faith in the fated land of Transylvania that you have pursued all your life, and having been a student of yours, I know that you have a great quest.

What’s more, even realistically speaking, what kind of treatment could you get elsewhere if you left here?

How can I turn a blind eye to the bright future that even that little girl Miriam can see.

Do well, my husband, and we, both of us commoners, may indeed be able to obtain a lifetime of blessings for our children.”

“It’s really nice of you to understand me .”

The professor smiled and took his wife by the waist, which was no longer as slender as it had been in her youth, and the two kissed lightly in the office, but the next moment the door to the room was pushed open, and Miriam stood in the doorway, clutching a sheaf of papers, and for a moment was a little at a loss for words.

“Uh I’ll come back later, Professor! Sorry!”

The Scarlet Consul squealed, slamming the door and running out, but soon she was at the door again with a reminder:
“That, Ms. Fna, you’d better hurry up and change into formal attire, there’s going to be a ceremony for your ordination this afternoon, the Lord Lord has decided to grant you the title of ‘Administrative Knight’, and also Professor Malcolm will officially receive the title of ‘Administrative Baron’, and your fiefs will be awarded with the title of ‘Administrative Baron’. In addition, Prof. Malcolm will also be officially rewarded with the title of ‘Administrative Baron’, and your fiefdom will be arranged in the Andromeda Hills.

Of course if you’re not satisfied with that fiefdom, we can talk about it, and so can Count Sike’s territory.

Lord Lord commanded, you are free to choose your own fiefdom.”

This panicked shout made the old couple look at each other and burst out laughing, Professor Malcolm shook his head and let go of his blushing wife as he whispered:

“This lord of ours is so perceptive, he always knows exactly when to give a carrot to make us work harder.

See, you were just talking about the blessing of future generations, and then in the blink of an eye we have a hereditary fiefdom.”

“That’s something to choose from.”

Lady Fna slapped her cheek to calm herself down as she pondered:
“How about putting it next to Batasin City? There’s a strong business atmosphere there, and it will definitely become the commercial hub of Transylvania in the future.”

“Uh-huh, whatever you want, this matter is up to you if I don’t get involved, Fna Knight.”

Professor Malcolm did a simple salute, which resulted in a sharp glare from his wife, who turned to leave but turned back with a flirtatious smile as she opened the door, she whispered:
“How does it feel to have a knight’s wife? His Excellency, Baron Malcolm.”

The professor’s expression suddenly became pained.

Just by looking at his wife’s smile, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to run away from that communal meal tonight… Alas promotion and wealth and all that doesn’t seem to be all good things!

[Bang]

As white smoke gushed out from the miniature steam furnace exhaust pipe at the rear end of the shotgun, the projectile accelerated to several times the speed of sound by kinetic energy flew out, opening the back of the head of a jackal hunter with precision at a distance of three hundred meters, and the latter’s body slammed on the ground, causing the hyena on its crotch and the bloodthirsty hyenas beside it to run away in panic.

“Cool!”

Satisfied with a cold hunter’s smile, Electronic Phantom Quo patted the precision-engineered shotgun in his hand, which he had purchased from the Little Earl of Sherron at great expense, and was quite fond of it in his heart.

As a primary job Ranger and secondary job Gunner he had used all his skills in this hunting and killing way, and now having a weapon that fit in his hand allowed him to finally show his destructive power to the fullest.

Qu took a round bullet from the ammo pouch on his belt and stuffed it into the chamber. This sniper shotgun is good at everything, range, accuracy and especially destructive power are far beyond the ordinary soldier musket, at a distance of 100 meters can even easily beat the elite into the blood, if the aim is accurate to trigger the ‘heart attack’, directly kill the second is not a problem.

Only this single shot mode is a bit fatal, but considering that this thing is a steam furnace to provide kinetic energy, the shooting speed is also understandably slow.

Today, he did not follow meow brother to continue to hang out, mainly because meow brother did not come online today and ran to discuss something with the far away happy stick, so the “big bird turn around” group of people will be given the opportunity to move freely.

Small hand and the other three people with the new Smokey went to brush the equipment, but Qu does not participate in it.

His character belongs to the kind of person who is more at ease with the situation, even if he is playing the game for the desire for good equipment is not particularly high, he enjoys the fun of the game, if there is not a group of good friends with, perhaps Qu is more suitable for the “lone wolf play”.

He has set himself a goal.

He planned to brush the reputation of the Adventurer’s Guild after the jackal hunting activity ended, he had already studied the reputation system repeatedly in private, and after he reached the reverence, he could ask Natalie or old Eugene to teach him the skills of taming his own “hunting companion”.

Qu had always wanted a fierce and dexterous falcon, or a horned eagle that could help in a fight as his companion, not only for scouting, but also to help him feel less lonely when he was alone.

Alas, the man who often washes his feet is also a sensitive and restless young man who longs for the comfort of others.

“Aim…”

He brought the shotgun up to his chest at his chosen sniping spot, peering into the distance through the slender scope mounted on the body of the gun, before locking onto a jackal savage soldier that was furtively fleeing into the distance.

The numbers of these guys had plummeted in recent times, especially after Grand Warlord Kenport Bitebone had been taken out, and the jackals of Transylvania seemed to have run out of sight overnight.

But that’s good, doesn’t that mean that this big operation that has been going on for almost 30 days is about to come to an end?
To be honest, it’s kind of boring to keep staring at the Jackals to kill them all the time, and there’s always more to try in a game.

Thinking so, Qu pulled the trigger.

“Bang.”

A low ringing sound brought about a faint vibration, and the distant Jackalman Barbarian’s brain exploded in Qu’s scope, like the bursting of a cloud of scarlet flowers, filled with a bleak beauty that death deserves.

But the next second .
[Ding! The number of jackals in Transylvania has subsided below the safety threshold, and the ‘Plague of Jackals’ mission has officially ended! Settlement will now begin, and the points pool will be sealed!
Settlement will be completed in four hours.

Congratulations to tester ‘Electronic Demon Phantom Lao Qu’ for completing the final kill, personal points +50, team points plus 50!

“Holy shit! Bull!”

Brother Qu grinned, feeling that his bad luck had finally gotten the better of him, he got up and put his beloved shotgun behind his back, and then opened the character interface to take a closer look at the personal scoreboard that had already been “closed”.

In addition to the top two “psychopathic murderer” cat and pomegranate sister have touched the edge of 10,000 points, other top players do not have a large gap between each other’s scores.

Cat’s team of four fierce men are on the list, Happy Stick also accounted for a seat, as well as the sister group of small reed name, the remaining few are occupied by the student party.

Woo Meow Brother they because of a previous death caused not to catch the start of the event, the best results of Brother Qu also just ranked thirteen position, the results of this accidentally added 50 points actually allowed him to kill into the top ten.

And in eleventh place, the invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex was just 3 points away.
This is embarrassing.

“Holy shit! You cheated, didn’t you! How can this still be like this? Che Che is not convinced, Che Che is going to complain!”

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che’s mind immediately exploded.

He spat at Brother Qu, leaving Old Qu with no answer to this, hell, he didn’t know that there was actually an extra score reward for the last kill of this points event ah?
He had no choice but to pacify him, promising to share one of the seven ‘Hunter Keys’ he could currently get with this score to Che Che, which made the latter quiet down.

After all, according to the original ranking, the tenth place should really be someone else’s car.

However, he quickly became excited.

The top ten would additionally be rewarded with a Clan Warrior Treasure Chest key, which was one of the few ways to unlock the best equipment in the game at the moment.

He didn’t expect to open anything good, but at least it would be a bit of a loss if he didn’t get a meal of stuff he couldn’t use like last time.

Thinking about it, Qu came up with a great idea.

He chatted privately to Che Che:
Electronic Phantom Old Qu; [I know you want that Family Warrior Treasure Chest key, how about this, you open it after I get the key!

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che: [???? Are you crazy? Just let me have it? I’m actually just spitting it out, there’s really no need for that, Qu.

You also grabbed the 10th by merit, it’s not like you’re really stuck with a bug, I’m just going through the motions, nothing else, so don’t think too much about it].

Electronic Phantom Old Qu: [No no, I’m serious, you also know that our team is simply like TM cursed by filth, but any job that requires luck is unlikely to have any good results, I feel that I can’t be lucky this time either, so what I mean is that you help me open.

If you open something you can use, you take it and give me some gold compensation.

If you get something I can use, I’ll give you some gold too.

If we can both use it, then]

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che: [Then it’s yours, nothing to say, it’s your key after all. Ha, Che Che will go offline now to take a hard bath, and then apply fragrance to make himself lucky to add body!
Watch me give you a good red tonight!

Electronic Phantom Old Quart: [Well, I’ll leave it to you then, Junior, hugs.jpg.]]

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sister Pomegranate, who was in Scarlet Fortress preparing to take Lady Water and Frost Tooth’s Claw, as well as a few other newcomers, on a trip to the Blood Vulture Cloisters group book, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She said AFK to her companions, then took off her helmet and fished out her cell phone and scanned it, realizing that it was a call opened by Brother Woo Meow. After picking up the phone, Brother Woo Meow over there picked up the dust for Brother Stick and ended up drinking until his tongue got big, but still intermittently spoke out his request, listening to Sister Pomegranate in a daze.

What?
Give me all your keys to open?

Is this an attempt to rub off on my luck?

You cunning sociopath don’t even think about it Ow, although I don’t know why your team is as if it’s cursed by filth as if your hands are blackened abnormally, but the lessons learned are there, although Sister Pomegranate is a rooted materialist, she also feels that it’s better not to dabble more with Brother Woo Meow’s group of mafiosi before opening the treasure chest.

What if she turned black herself?
Moreover, she also had her own things to do, how could she have the time to help Brother Woo Meow and the others open the treasure chest ah.

“You go find Tooth, yes, Frost Tooth’s Claw, this kid’s got a good hand, playing a copy of Rat King’s Doom, he touched a hidden drop on his first try.

I heard that the Tepal guy who went to fight with him had good luck as well, supposedly triggered a hidden quest or something in the copy, you go scourge them.

That’s it ah, I’m still waiting to play the group book here, hang on ow.”
