418.Chapter 416 415 Warrior Number Two Weird Doctor Pants Removal Demon
Chapter 416 – 415 – Warrior No. 2 – Doctor Stripped of His Pants
Murphy received Adele’s message and rushed to the “death hut” where the necromancer Bella was located, and just when he got there, he saw Mrs. Berenice riding a skeleton warhorse back and forth in the tunnels below, accompanied by five elite skeleton attendants.
Compared to Bella, who was forced to serve Murphy and the Scarlet Fortress but was full of complaints, this female knight of the underworld, who was brought back by Hogg from Plague Town by some means, seemed to be at ease with the situation.
After seeing Murphy emerge from the shadows, she even nodded her head in greeting to Murphy from her horse, reflecting Lady Bernice’s elegant manners.
Uh, although it’s weird to use the word “elegant” to describe a dead person.
“Good day, Mrs. Bernice, how have you been these past few days in the Scarlet Fortress?”
Murphy asked softly as he flapped his wings to the ground, and the Knight of the Underworld said with a husky chuckle from beneath his shadowy helmet:
“It couldn’t be more perfect, compared to Plague Town this place is like a quiet paradise reserved for the undead.
Of course, your hyperactive and eccentric warriors occasionally bore me a bit, always following me around trying to talk to me as a way to trigger some sort of ‘quest’, but it’s not a problem.
Adele taught me how to deal with them.
Out of some dark pleasure belonging to the dead, I asked them to bring back elite undead servants for me, I thought it would take a long, long time, but they did it all in just three days.
I can sense that these elite skeleton soldiers are from the city of Sikor, so are you and your warriors already planning to enter that dangerous area?”
“That is a plan for later.”
Murphy swept a glance at the skeleton soldiers following Lady Bernice.
The ghostly blue soul fire danced in their black eyes, bound by the power of the Underworld Knights to manipulate the souls of the dead like the most loyal servants arching beside their masters, only needing Berenice’s command, these guys would launch a devastating attack on the enemy.
After a few seconds of silence, Murphy asked:
“According to Hogg, even among the Underworld Knights of Plague Town, you belong to the rather powerful ones, and it even owes a debt to Crippled Claw in order to bring you back.
The question then arises, Lady Berenice, if I wish you to teach the legacy of the Hades Knights to my warriors”
“Can’t be done!”
Bernice, the half-elf, replied with the characteristic ramrod straightness of the undead:
“To become a Knight of the Underworld, your warriors would have to die first, however they are all just psychic projections, they don’t have any special concept of ‘life and death’ at all.
I will gladly pass on to them the skill of manipulating the lower undead.
But I can’t teach them to be knights of the Underworld, of course that could have something to do with my ignorance of Underworld powers, after all you can’t expect me to learn too much subtlety from jackals.
However.”
The Lady Knight of the Underworld paused as she said:
“If you can find a way to travel to the source of all necromantic power, I mean, to the fabled Sacred City of the Moon, then perhaps you can take the power of the Underworld for yourself as well.”
“Your answer is exactly the same as what Lord Bella answered to me, it’s a shame to see such a cool inheritance close at hand but not be able to put it to use.”
Murphy shook his head as he moved gracefully:
“Then, I’ll leave you to your walk.
But if you are interested, you can go to the Fight Club around midnight, I heard that the dead who are disturbed from their resting place will harbor unrelieved anger, and if you don’t want to go into self-destruction then you have to find a suitable way to let it out.
My Fight Club still holds the usual challenges for the Transylvanian Championships, and you can find a target for your deathly rage there.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
Bernice said with a nod:
“I will be there, now please go and talk to my useless husband, he and his apprentice are waiting for you.”
Murphy blinked.
Thinking to himself that this undead couple is quite interesting to get along with.
Obviously they cared about each other, Bella was willing to bow down to the vampires in order to get her back, Bernice patrolled the road all day long fearing that the witch hunters overhead would rush in and purify Bella, an evil and frail necromancer, but even after they died the two of them still had to bicker.
Gee, that’s probably how the undead uniquely get along, isn’t it?
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Bernice, Murphy quickly arrived at Bella’s hut, only to see the four back coffin players from the “Demon Eight Jiejie Collection” hooking up and coming out of the house, still discussing about the “undead faction” gameplay.
Beside them, there is also the honest dog egg, this guy leaning on the bone staff by three skeleton servants and a skeleton knight escort, strutting to cast a teleportation spell, showing the “master” style.
Dog egg is not only the first coffin-carrying person in the family, his unique “spatial perception” talent allows him to grasp the obscure teleportation skills faster than other psychic masters.
Of course, no matter how talented he was, he was still only a beginner, and the limit of his teleportation technique could only send him from Scarlet Fortress to Moorland Village or a few farms nearby.
But according to Femis, this guy was progressing quite fast, and might soon become the best teleporter in the house!
“Aaaaahhh, it’s out of control! Brothers help!”
Just as Murphy was thinking so, Dog Egg, who had just stepped into the portal he had opened, let out a ghostly scream, and also stretched out a hand from the portal towards the Demon Bajieji beside him to call for help.
He yelled:
“Crap I’m in the astral realm again! This is already the second time this month, why is my luck so bad? Help me out, brother!
Pull me out, quick!”
“Fuck! Help!”
Cursed Blue, the leader of the Demon Bajaj set, roared, lunged over and yanked Dogman’s arm and pulled him toward the material world.
The other brothers also ran over to help with their hands, and it took a lot of effort to drag Dog Egg back from the Astral World before the portal dissipated.
But this unlucky guy also brought some “things” from the astral world.
Several strange things like shadow squid suspended in the air, emitting sharp sounds and waving tentacles and claws to attack the surrounding area.
Fortunately, although the Devil’s Eight Jiejie set amusing but strength is really there, instantly is four or five curses smashed up, and there are manipulated undead minions up to cut and kill, finally the few soul-eating squid to finish off.
Their luck is quite good, a soul-devouring squid to “burst” the equipment, broken dark skull smashed on the ground so that a few take the evil way to flow play buddies get together to whisper, not quite dare to reach out to take.
After all, it is from the star world of the thing, ghost know this thing on the residue of what strange power it?
The dog egg that was rescued no longer has the same might and power as before, this will be under the escort of his own undead servants sitting next to him breathing heavily, he covered his head and said remorsefully:
“Fuck, miscalculated another coordinate, this teleportation spell is so hard, why do I need to memorize so many formulas? Fuck, just lost a Skeleton Mage.
Geez!
This was a high-grade item I got on ‘loan’ from Hogg, I’m going to lose my ass now.”
This little episode made Lord Murphy, who was hiding in the shadows to watch the fun, exceptionally satisfied, his little players were really still full of energy, which was great.
They hadn’t been hit repeatedly by the cruel society causing them to lose the joy of exploring life, this was exactly what he wished to see.
With the mindset of “watching people’s bad luck”, Murphy pushed open the door of the death hut.
As a result, when he looked up, he saw that under the illumination of several shadowy phosphorus flames, the somberly dressed necromancer Bella was standing next to him with her hands behind her back, watching the apprentice who had already put on the robes of a necromancer, “Pantslessing Demon”, doing an autopsy.
Pants off the devil has recovered from the previous state of weakness, in Murphy’s eyes, this unique small player at this time the spiritual energy projection is very solid.
This means that he is recovering his “health”.
It seemed that the necromancer Bella really didn’t touch the fish during this period of time, it really paid attention to cultivating this unique little player, the Demon with Pants off, in every aspect.
Murphy didn’t disturb the action between this “master and disciple”, he quietly approached and observed the movements of the concentrated pantsless demon.
Ah Feng’s hands holding the “scalpel” entwined with death spirit energy, on the stone platform in front of him on the corpse of the jackal carrying out anatomical research, its every move is full of professional beauty from the class.
The knife is very stable, almost no unnecessary movements, in a clean and simple way, removed this died in the smuggler woodland conflict of the bone biting savage soldier a large and a small heart, and immersed them in the necromancer prepared in the jar for the subsequent research material to organize.
The performance of the pantsless demon also made the necromancer Bella nod frequently.
It could be seen that Bella was very satisfied with her apprentice’s basic skills in “necromancy”, and this exquisite dissection skill alone was enough to make the demon stand out in any place where necromancers were piled up.
If you want to master death, you have to understand it first!
From this theoretical point of view, the dissection of the dead is the most basic skill to become a necromancer on this continent.
“Not bad! Your skills are beyond my imagination, and your understanding of the construction of living organisms also far exceeds those fools who chase death but are unwilling to learn in a practical manner. It looks like we can skip these basic lessons and start directly into the exploration of the mysteries of the Underworld.”
Bella marveled:
“You’d make the best necromancer, and if you were born in the Sanghai Empire, you’d probably make the best Kyaukki priest. But before we officially begin, let’s ask you to finish talking to the local lords.
Time is very generous to us.
Come seek me out after you are ready, my disciple.”
The necromancer nodded in salute to Murphy with a 180° twist of his head that a living person could never do, and the green spirit fire under that hood could scare a child to tears.
But Murphy, the vampire, wasn’t afraid of any of that at all.
After all, in the eyes of most mortals, a vampire can be much scarier than a moving corpse.
As Bella left, the pantsless demon also removed the blood-stained leather gloves from his hands, he washed his hands and removed the mask he had made before turning back to Murphy:
“Thank you for your help, Lord Murphy.”
“Oh? Why are you thanking me?”
Murphy looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
Unlike a few days ago when he had just awakened in Transylvania, at this time, the pantsless demon Feng had completely restored his calmness and professionalism as a professional doctor, and his every move carried a well-mannered temperament.
From his calm posture at this time, Murphy could deduce that Ah Feng might probably have guessed certain truths, but he preferred Ah Feng to say it himself.
In the face of Murphy’s rhetorical question, Stripped Pants Demon was silent for a few seconds, he rubbed his real cheeks and said:
“This side is not the game they talk about! This side is real, I’ve been thinking about these issues since I awakened, from father and Mu’s descriptions I can tell that their understanding of Transylvania is based on rational deduction on a scientific level, but the problem is that my state at this moment cannot be explained by science.
I am a medical doctor.
I know very well that it is no longer possible for me to awaken from my condition in the outside world, that is not a problem that can be solved by modern medicine.
Yet what science failed to do, metaphysics did.
You.
You are all real.
My first reaction upon awakening was correct, I did come to an otherworldly place after being in irreparable danger.
But not in a way I know well.”
Feng looked at Murphy with a complicated expression as he said softly:
“I am still unable to understand some of the details of this, but I guess that it must have something to do with you, so in all reason, I have enough reason to express my gratitude to you.
Regardless of your intentions, the fact that you saved me and redeemed my broken family is indisputable.”
“Well, I accept your thanks.”
Murphy nodded, not confirming or denying.
He looked at Feng and said:
“Your father and your cousin have been scouting the Smuggler’s Woodlands for the Tainted Swamp lately, your mentor Bella needs to eat the Psionic Secrets in the hands of the Jackal Warlock to keep your spirit safe, and your mother has qualified for the test will be in the next batch to enter the game.
Their activities in Transylvania are not based on finding pleasure.
You are still here, so they will not give up, and from that point on, I have utilized you to acquire prominent warriors for my forces.
Do you blame me for that? Feng.”
“They won’t really die here, will they?”
The MD sighed and said:
“I don’t feel good about it, but I don’t have any reason to blame you for it, and I’ve probably come to understand the duties I’ve shouldered in Transylvania.
I will do everything in my power to give what I can to ensure that your power is long-lived, as a way of saving my own little life that has already hit rock bottom.
But I have a small request that I hope you will grant me.”
“Go ahead, my first professional doctor.”
Murphy made a “please” gesture, and the Feng in front of him hesitated for a moment as he raised his own hands and said:
“Until I can confirm that my state can exist for a long time in Transylvania without any constraints or interruptions, I hope that you will not accept any more unfortunates like me.
Perhaps you see this as a kind of salvation.
But please believe that the risks involved in such an act are no gentler than allowing them to die in their sleep in the material world.
I can understand that once people like us are reborn in Transylvania, we will unconditionally become your most credible and ardent fans, and we would do anything for you to ensure that we can restart our lives in our ‘second home’.
I can understand the allure of this option for you, but please suppress your desires in this regard a little, Lord Murphy, as a forerunner amongst the unfortunate, it is my duty to explore the path for my fellow travelers who will set foot in Transylvania in the future.
It is my second duty to do so!”
“Whew, so I am such a gloomy and evil image in your eyes?”
Murphy sighed:
“That’s not how Vikina would ever describe me, maybe it’s the difference between an innocent young girl and a socialite who always thinks too much.
You always think of your situation in the worst possible light.
I won’t persuade you that it’s unnecessary, you can see it with your own eyes and I’m sure you’ll get an answer.
But as you said, your unique situation dictates that you will be my most trusted warrior upon awakening, and our trust is based on the bond that exists between us.
It is a natural obedience and following.
Therefore, I am going to grant you the title of ‘Murphy’s Warrior’, and you will be the second Otherworldly Essence to be recognized by me, after both Little Reed Name.
Of course the process still needs to be followed.
I will issue a series of trial quests for you”
“The grimoire!”
Feng lifted his head and said firmly:
“If it does indeed concern my life in the New World and the lives of others who share my tragic fate, then I have good reason to pursue it and acquire it.
Allow me to join in this action, Lord Murphy, I cannot convince myself to be at peace with what my father and Moo have done for me.
What I need, I have to get back for myself!”
“Very well!”
Murphy was more than satisfied.
He looked at the pantsless demon in front of him, and he said:
“That’s it, that’s the mentality!
What you desire must be retrieved with your own hands, and I have to say, even though you’ve only just awakened, you already seem like a true Transylvanian.
So get over there.
Depart after you’ve learned the necessary schooling from Bella, but there’s no need to be in such a hurry, the raids for the Filthy Swamp will officially begin next month.
I mean, you’ll have to stay here until then, at least until you’re reunited with your poor mother.
I understand from Cat that your mother has been living in self-loathing all these years, and that kind of stress stemming from her past has made her nearly insane.
And you, my warrior, are the only key to unlocking that stress.
You see, I am a vampire, but I am not heartless.
I’m full of humanity, even more of a human with a conscience than some black-hearted humans, aren’t I?”
