Chapter 537 536.The Governor’s New Frontier- Ah! How did I suddenly get an extra enclave?
“Look at that! I told you, since goatmen appear in the background of the story, it proves that these guys must have an exclusive quest line! I told you before when we crossed Baphomet Canyon that there are definitely quests and copies there.
See, I was right.”
The Pioneer Corps marched quickly under the night.
The players on the ground rode their own carriers and were led by Lady Berenice to run towards the Baphomet Canyon they had just passed, while the players with flying mounts in the sky took the initiative to take up the duty of scouting the way.
The student party riding the cool Skeleton Night Rangers chattered about this mission, with Badger being particularly proud.
This guy was one of those who cared about the plot as Murphy had said before, he wouldn’t let go of any text when playing the game, and once he found something he would post it in the forum thread dedicated to plot discussion.
This kind of sensitivity to details has made Badger quite famous in the circle of “plot explorers”, but the “hidden plots” in Transylvania have all been explored almost all the time in the past four months, and Badger can’t come up with some eye-catching things to to raise his reputation.
But now that the new map is open, it’s a good time for the storyline party to rise.
The rescue mission was triggered, and Badger was still editing the message on his cool skeleton Pegasus while rushing to the mission location.
He was arguing with a few fellows around him about whether or not the goatman would lead to a large quest chain, and at the same time, he was listing out all the information related to the goatman with the intention of making a new post.
However, the young players were still coming across goatmen for the first time now, and all they knew about these strange things came from word of mouth from the NPCs, and there wasn’t a lot of material evidence to make Badger quite worried.
After posting these hearsay things, he will definitely be criticized by Orchid as “tabloid quality” again.
She has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. Is it too much to test the cadres with this little news that they don’t know what’s true or false?
“Hey, didn’t the NPC say that there is a large underground palace underneath Baffant Canyon?”
The pretentious unused hand that came over on a wind vulture said loudly:
“Brother Woo Meow thinks that if the plot goes as far as the Goatman, that legendary Great Dungeon is also true, and our Big Bird Troupe now suspects that we might have to explore a few copies of it on this trip.
Why don’t we all split a point now, if a copy really comes out who’s first and who’s second ah, can’t always mix together to play a copy, the drops are no way to share.”
“Makes sense!”
The lead Big Pigeon nodded, he said to the small hand that came over on behalf of Brother Woo Meow:
“Then each according to their ability, since it is a large dungeon must be a large area, who meets who counts, just like the Raider Wolf Castle, if you can’t take it and then find other brothers together, if you take it alone there is nothing to say, the loot you guys split by yourselves.
Also have to ask other brothers, especially the casual players.
Don’t make a bad incident of the guild wrapping up the field only, we are now a big guild that represents the player base, the food can’t be that ugly.”
“You don’t need to worry about this, Lady Water is already down there collecting opinions.”
Little Hands looked out over the Baffent Canyon, which was so quiet under the night that it made people panic, and he whispered:
“The girls think that this rescue mission must be an important part related to the reputation of the Spectral Shadow Valley, considering that we all agreed with people before that we would help the Silver Moon Regiment to take the stronghold this time, so after entering the underground palace, if we find that captured NPC or related clues, remember to notify them in a timely manner.
Little Reed Name paid the money after all, we can’t do something that eats both ends.”
“Okay, no problem!”
Good Pigeon made an OK gesture, and after Little Hands left, he turned his head to Che Che, who was preparing protective magic beside him, and said:
“The stronghold mission this time doesn’t require playing a copy ah, it seems like the Silver Moon Corps really picked up a bargain.”
“Bullshit! There’s no such thing as a bargain.”
Che Che pulled the reins of the Skeleton Pegasus’s luxurious horse, adjusting its orientation in the air, and spat again:
“I don’t think it’ll be any easier for the Silver Moon Regiment to hold their stronghold in the Black Plague than it was to raid Wolf Castle… Even though it’s basically fully supported by player forces, this land isn’t the same as the previous few strongholds!
But it’s completely managed by the players, an ‘enclave’ outside of Transylvania, even if Lord Murphy and Consul Miriam are big-hearted they won’t just give it away.
Hey, if I may say so, the prerequisite for us to become a big guild in this game is to have our own stronghold. It’s fortunate that we put up a fight before, or else it would probably be hard as hell to get a stronghold in the future.”
“What do you know?”
Meow Shark retorted:
“This is called ‘version bonus’, understand? Besides, even if you play the game, there is also a first come first served ah, the development team can not chill the hearts of veteran players. Let’s go, first go around the canyon, find the entrance to the underground palace.
Just now the two NPC couples did not say that the Shadow Elf’s weaving life girl has been captured for many days well, hey, maybe here can see everyone interested in the evil abortion plot it.
This story direction can be too classic, now it’s up to the development team to dare to do CG.”
“Heh heh heh.”
The odd laughter of the young people rang out under the dark night, and at the same time as they raged to the goatman’s territory, in the Valley of the Shadow, Adele, who had gone and returned, had also just finished meeting with several elders.
In this valley, those who can be honored as “Elders” are the leaders of the gladiators who followed Ms. Mona to fight against the Shadow Elves back in the day, and each of them is skilled in martial arts and has quite a strong calling power among the clansmen. Unfortunately, the attack that led to Adele’s departure back then was very large in scale, and caused several Elders to die on the battlefield.
Currently, there are only four elders left in the Valley of Shadows, and judging by the lifespan of half-elves, they are all in their prime, all of them are silver ranked and have superb fighting strength.
A small valley, more than three thousand people have four silver and nearly two hundred black iron, from this point of view, the shadow valley in the barren mountain power is not weak, even just look at the paper and the current blood vulture clan almost.
Unfortunately, the half-elf’s numbers were the biggest problem.
They were literally dying one by one, which made the half-elves not dare to launch a large-scale operation at all, so when Adele spoke the same rhetoric that convinced Lisa to the elders, she quickly received a reply, and the four elders made it very clear for Lady Mona’s sake.
Murphy wanted the Valley of the Shadow to be Transylvania’s front line against the Black Plague, fine!
But he had to show sincerity.
First is the issue of relocation.
Even a young man like Lisa could see that there was no future for them half-elves to continue staying in the valley, and the elders naturally knew that in the past few decades, even when Ms. Mona was still alive, there had been uninterrupted discussions on the topic of migration, but each time the discussions couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Is it true that the half-elves don’t go to Transylvania, where the environment is better and more livable, because they don’t want to?
It’s not because the filthy swamp is in the way, so that large-scale migration is simply impossible to do, strong people naturally come and go as they please, but the valley of the old and weak women and children are simply impossible to cross the swamp area safely.
Therefore, the first request of the elders was for the Transylvanians to assist them in completing the first migration of their people.
One of the Elders led a group to Transylvania to see the new home that the Governor had set aside for them, and to examine the Transylvanians’ control of the filthy swamps and their armaments. After the messenger delivers the news, the Bloodwing Clan’s psionics will be tasked with the responsibility of sending the weakest of the clan to Transylvania for refuge, with the warriors staying behind to assist in the fight against the Black Plague.
This was their second request.
The four elders clearly told Adele that even if most of the clansmen migrated to Transylvania, they would not give up the Valley of the Shadow just the same.
The significance of this place to the half-elven clan was extraordinary, and it was never just a place of refuge. The Phantom Clan wanted to retain the nominal sovereignty of the valley as a remembrance of the past, and no matter what the future held, a team of half-elven rangers would be stationed here.
This issue Adele agreed very quickly.
And the third question posed by the elders was about the Shadow Elf survivors of Clan Mejva.
As Adele expected, the older generation had no interest in the Shadow Elves, and they asked the Transylvanians to “solve” the problem for them.
The word “resolve” was a subtle one, and it was clear that the half-elven elders didn’t care what Adele and her masters did with the Shadow Elves; their only request was that the Shadow Elves not be allowed to interfere with the affairs of the Shadow Clan any further.
If this was indeed a quest, then this would have been the time for the plot branching option to appear.
There was a choice between the Shadowfell and the survivors of Megaworld, and there was only one way to choose one side over the other, which would normally be a no-brainer, but Adele was thankful to be a vampire at the moment, and knew that there was a “both/and” solution to the problem.
The Elders’ three conditions were readily agreed to, which fully represented Governor Murphy’s sincerity, and made the Elders very satisfied and at the same time puzzled.
These Transylvanians had a big package that looked like it had a big advantage, so why were they still beaten up so badly during the first four Black Plagues?
To this, the answer given by Adele was that Lord Murphy was the ruler of Heaven’s Mandate, a man who could turn corruption into magic.
But this answer that was full of materialism obviously could not satisfy the elders who were old enough to be human, but they were all former gladiators who were realistic in their approach to life, and at Adele’s request, the elders completed a contract on the spot on behalf of the half-elves of the Valley of the Shadow and Transylvania.
They didn’t even ask the valley leader Lisa’s opinion, from this we can see that Adele’s best friend really has no real power in this valley and has no platoon to speak of, no wonder Lisa was forced to join forces with the Shadow Elves.
These old men and women are indeed a bit too deceitful.
However, the contract had already been signed, as long as the three requirements were fulfilled, the Shadow Valley would be willing to become part of Transylvania.
This contract satisfied both sides.
But there was a reason behind this smoothness, the reason why Adele’s negotiation with the elders was unopposed, the fact that her mother, Ms. Mona’s face here was indeed big enough and hard enough accounted for a very important factor, and there was also another very important reason, and that was that Adele had dry humped Liza before talking to them.
This obviously could not be hidden from the elders, and the hand and strength that Adele showed in the process made the elders very satisfied.
They praised Adele for inheriting Truman’s strength and Mona’s wisdom, and for being the chosen leader of the Shadow Half-Elves, saying that as long as Adele nodded her head, Lisa would immediately hand over the position of leader in a “well-behaved” manner.
The truth is, as Adele said, Lisa’s throne should have been hers, and in the twenty years since she disappeared, the elders only chose Lisa because the valley needed a leader, not because Lisa could really satisfy them.
These gladiator-born guys had pretty high standards for alpha’s.
However, Adele didn’t intend to take away what her childhood friends longed for, not to mention that Bella and Bernice were both elders, and she didn’t want to break the hearts of the two elders whom she regarded as her parents, and besides, wouldn’t it have been a better choice to become their superior than to become the half-elf’s mistress?
As Adele walked out of the Elder’s Hall in the Valley of the Shadow, she looked back behind her at the landscape that she was familiar with and yet unfamiliar with, she wasn’t able to feel a single ounce of warmth in this place she grew up in.
This made E-sister a bit frustrated.
This was the hometown, but it wasn’t home.
And about the other reason she rejected the alpha, that couldn’t be told to anyone else.
“Master Murphy.”
Mrs. Adele said softly as she pulled on her own mask:
“Would you feel proud of such a me when the task you gave me is accomplished?”
—
“Diplomatic action between the special territory ‘Valley of the Shadows’ and the main body of Transylvania has ended! Under the impetus of Ms. Adele, the head of the Phantom Intelligence Bureau, the process of merging the Phantom Valley into Transylvania has been initiated!
Current merger progress [0/3]!
Cue in!
The location of the Valley of the Shadow lies outside of the territory currently held by Transylvania and is labeled as an ‘enclave’, in order to incorporate it into their territory, the administrators will need to first complete the full occupation of the ‘Tainted Swamp’ and ‘Baffent Canyon In order to incorporate it into their territory, administrators need to first complete the occupation of ‘Filthy Swamp’ and ‘Baffant Canyon’.
However, the territory already has the necessary conditions for domination, so upon completion of the incorporation process, it will be labeled as ‘Stronghold 004’!
Administrators may delegate it to designated forces.”
Just as Murphy was enjoying the damned joy of walking the maze in the goatman dungeon in Baphomet Canyon, a sudden pop-up prompt caused Murphy’s action of hacking the goatman to pause for a few seconds.
This made the vicious goatman thugs around them immediately seize the opportunity, and these black iron ranked assholes wailed and raised their rusty war swords to slash at Murphy, and were easily forced back by the vampire who drew the thermite war sword at his waist and did a Night Battle of the Eight.
The crystal sharp blades glittered with blinding red-orange heat, disintegrating the goat-man thugs pouncing around them with their weapons into a field of shattered corpses in three swings of Murphy’s sword.
The wounds burned, and even blood was rare.
The horrific attack froze the leaping goatmen around them in their tracks, but George, already mad with murder, pounced on them, and the shattered mob turned and ran, yelling and screaming, turning corners and disappearing from sight in the labyrinth only they knew how to navigate.
The battlefield, which had been so boisterous a moment before, instantly fell silent.
“Is Adele that powerful?”
Murphy turned off the Thermal Fusion Sword to rest for a moment in this dimness, he looked at the prompt that popped up on his character card, he had thought that even if Adele had the aura of Ms. Mona’s power, it would take a little bit of time for her to reintegrate herself into her hometown after more than thirty years.
He didn’t expect Adele to complete the merging of the Valley of the Shadow in just one night.
Although it was true that there was a powerful boost from the arrival of the Black Plague, just tell me that E-sister was not very efficient in this operation, right?
Well, I don’t know if it’s my own illusion that Adele, who was always very Buddhist and unwilling to show her face, seemed to be holding back her energy to prove herself this time, like a rose-thorned sword hidden in its sheath, which could be bloodied and sealed with the slightest swing.
“After Adele was freed from her blood contract, she was no longer disturbed by her twisted feelings and finally found her purpose in life, so is that why she exploded with her amazing motivation?”
Murphy thought as he rubbed his chin, carrying his staff and sword as he continued to roam through this big bad labyrinth accompanied by George, the head wolf:
“Sure enough, this blood contract is the bad habit that should be abolished!
Just look at Adele’s transformation, the dark blood pacts that supposedly bring loyalty don’t bring any power, they’re a web of corruption, twisting warriors into monsters, degrading the brave into cowards, and that thing is just a shackle holding back vampire civilization.
I should probably ban this bad custom from the entire Blood Vulture Clan, Tris would surely support me! Even Venerable Lord Paying would support me.
Adele’s strong rise is the best proof.
Hey, if I hold the power in the vampire civilization in the future, I must eh? What’s that sound up ahead? Why does it sound like a woman praying? A woman? Praying? In this hellhole?
Hiss.
I don’t think I’ve hit a bad spot, do I?”
