557.Chapter 555: 554 Shadow Elves Who Could Be Destroyed by a Bunch of Rats and Mice
Chapter 555 554.A Shadow Elf who can be exterminated by a bunch of rats and mice is pretty lame, isn’t it?
The Life Weaver girl who escaped from the disaster in the distant city of Megaworld shouted “Rats destroyed my hometown”, but Handsome Murphy who heard this did not show an unexpected expression.
The reason for this was probably because of the conversation with Captain Bloody, the seemingly rude and nasty but shrewd to the point of being shrewd, the Archduke of Blood Fear had reminded Murphy when he followed Andre to leave, that he felt that the attack of the rats on the Blood Fear Clan was most likely practicing, and that these rats had most likely carried out a similar activity before.
You see, you see, it’s all right, isn’t it?
Not bad for the vampire clan with the highest aptitude for the hunter profession, that’s just a fine eye for detail, but after matching that fact, Murphy was quickly flooded with new doubts.
He glanced at Lady Bernice and her family who were still leading the undead repair camp next to him, and pulled the wrist of the excited Life Weaver girl to the side, before asking in a low voice:
“Are you sure it was the rat people who destroyed your city? The Blood Fear Clan and I just fought against tens of thousands of ratmen with a few thousand people, and I don’t really think that those guys were able to overrun your city just by sheer numbers!
You are one of the Thirteen Clans of the Shadow Elves!
Put on the continent are ranked on the number of forces, this group of rats to equipment no equipment, to IQ no IQ, rely on the claws to scratch hard to break the city is a little too outrageous, right?”
“Ah, my master, you are so arrogant!”
At the mention of the destruction of the city of Mejewa, the life-weaving girl instantly became agitated, and had originally said that she would offer her heart to Murphy, but as a result, this time she would speak in an ungracious manner.
After all, she was carrying the hatred of the country, and she could no longer hide certain true feelings under the emotional excitement.
Her peculiar black-white eye pupils seemed to burn out substantial hatred, and pointedly said:
“I actually don’t know much about the specific situation, but I can be sure that it is these rat people who are wreaking havoc in my city!
They attacked from underground and dug through the path to the main mother’s palace, their numbers were endless and as terrifying as the Black Tide, and they were strategic enough to capture the main mother’s palace leaving the command level of the city of Medjevar almost completely wiped out.
I was only able to escape through the blessing of the Spider Lady.
By the time I left the city, the once-majestic city of Mejva had become a rat-strewn hell, but of course the rats alone could not have broken through the guards of the warrior-chiefs and the monstrous individuals that had emerged from the flames of the meteorite.
That’s obviously another kind of power, and our samurai chief is a gold ranked sword bard! So there must be something else strange going on here, or perhaps there is an accomplice! But the rats are definitely their vanguard!
The fact that they attack without warning and are not sensed by psychic spells as they travel underground makes their surprise attacks extremely threatening, and coupled with the fact that the city of Medjevar has been in peace for a long time now, and that the city’s nobles, large and small, are keen to fight each other internally, those ratmen caught us by surprise.”
“That’s true, and the Archduke of Blood Fear has also emphasized that they won’t be sensed when they travel underground unless they’re particularly close.”
Murphy nodded:
“I’ve also talked to the Blood Alliance Knights at the Black Flame Pass, the Earth Priests stationed at their place didn’t even notice the ratmen’s presence, these guys must have a strange power that allows them to evade the perception of the earth’s spiritual energy.
But I actually have a suspicion regarding the destruction of the city of Medjevar.”
He glanced at Velanthar and said in a long drawn out voice:
“But I won’t tell you about it until I’m sure you’re trustworthy. Though I have no proof, I believe it is highly likely that this guess of mine is the truth you have been searching for.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Please enjoy me.”
The Fate Weaver girl raised her eyebrows, knowing that her “fateful moment” was about to come, and showed a submissive gesture, gently pulling open the collar of her neck and “accidentally” pulling open half of her blouse, and with a teasing look, she signaled that Murphy could He also signaled with a teasing look that Murphy could “taste” the blood of his heir.
She previously in Baphomet’s palace wanted to use the blood contract to let Murphy accept her and her followers to become a member of Transylvania, so as to follow Ms. Spider’s prophecy to participate in the “great cause”, now Murphy took the initiative to put forward the “issue of trust”, this cunning Shadow Elf Priestess naturally heard the string. The Shadow Elf Priestess naturally heard the words and knew the meaning of the words.
But Murphy did not go forward to complete this “first embrace” with such an intimate gesture.
In the life-weaving girl’s regretful gaze, he very gentlemanly took hold of Villanther’s wrist and pulled it to his eyes, and then glanced at the Shadow Elf Priestess who covered her mouth and laughed softly, and then stabbed out his canine teeth and bit on it.
“Hiss you’re gentle, it kinda hurts and tickles a bit~”
The bewitching Shadow Elf deliberately let out an evocative moan, but in the next second, perhaps Murphy was trying to punish her for her sluttiness, the life transformation from the first embrace of the Blood Clan inflicted real pain on Villanther.
The already weakened Life Weaver fell to her knees with a plop.
Her six arms shielded her body shivering but she couldn’t even say a word, as the first embrace proceeded, her whole body’s blood was drawn out by Murphy, just like Adele and Maxim before her, her plump body quickly dried up like a strange six-handed elf dry corpse.
If Murphy stopped at this point, Villanther would really be dead!
The first embrace originally required that the servant could not have any physical or mental resistance, which meant that at the beginning of the first embrace, the servant side had to be ready to dedicate their life and existence to their master.
At the moment, it seemed that Villanther was really ready for this.
Murphy’s process of drawing blood was incredibly smooth, yet he soon sensed that Villanther was not weakened to the point of fatality even though she had been drained of blood, as a strange power enveloped her, sheltering her from traveling to the land of the dead.
Considering that Villanther was a Spider Lady priestess, this shadowy power would be the divine power of the Spider Lady.
Alas, these guys with backgrounds and backers are just lucky, when they encounter any bad situation in this crisis-ridden world, there are gods to cover their backs, but vampires don’t have any, and the shit in the eyes of the gods is just so pathetic, they have to take their own lives when anything happens to them.
Murphy shook his head to get rid of such myths, and incorporated a third of his own body’s blood into Villancer’s blood.
The relationship between him and this life-weaving maiden was pure cooperation without any basis of trust, so naturally he didn’t need to spend a great deal of effort to give her an elite template, and besides, she herself was a God’s Chosen Chieftain-class Priestess.
This template was even one level higher than Murphy’s elite template, and there was no need for the potential enhancement of this Sin Descendant’s blood.
The two were connected simply because of a prophecy, and Villanther herself hadn’t even hidden this, so this first embrace was just the foundation of trust reached.
It was more on the ceremonial side.
The fused blood was returned to Velanthir in a standard first embrace by Murphy, who drank three large mouthfuls of blood and a portion of his power as a “blood tax”, as per the rules.
At the moment when the first embrace was completed, an alert popped up on the Vampire Governor’s character card:
[The first feeding is complete! Anu Vilanthar Mejva Le Sombra has returned a large portion of his power to you in the process, which is manifested as:
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Thinking.
New Talent [Fate Weaver’s Embrace] Acquired, Legend has it that the Fate Weaver Maidens of the Shadow Elves have the ability to foretell and ward off death, so the Threads of Fate will save you in the face of an attack that sends you into death.
Tip!
This talent requires you to carry the [Shadow Elf Sacrifice – Vial of Resurrection] with you, and each time it takes effect, it consumes Vial of Resurrection X1.
Tip!
The number of times this talent takes effect is 1 time/10 days.
As Velanthar mastered the superior technique of the ‘Secret Sword Technique of the House of Mejva’, the ‘Secret Sword of the Shadow Spider’, through the feedback of the power of the First Embrace, His Eminence has also acquired the complete essence of this sword technique.
Tip!
The ‘Secret Sword of Shadow Spider’ is a high-level sword technique, and when practicing it, you need to combine it with your own ancient potential to derive your own sword style, so please raise your life level as soon as possible in order to meet the pre-requirements for learning this sword technique.

“So strong!”
This was Murphy’s first feeling after completing his first embrace.
Probably because Villanther was once a Golden One, although she was injured and weakened, her life rank was very high, resulting in more power feedback this time than the previous three initial embraces, and also gave Murphy a rather awesome “Immune to Death” passive talent and a set of high-grade sword skills.
Looking at the blood contract field on the character card that had returned to [2/3], Murphy couldn’t help but start thinking about the possibility of his own “bug” through the family’s source blood once again.
In terms of Velancer’s first embrace this time, this method is absolutely feasible, adding 6 points of attributes at a time, as long as it happens a few more times, Murphy will be able to make his absolute strength in the Black Iron rank break through the average of the Elite Silver rank.
As the saying goes, laying a good foundation is the only way to soar into the sky.
However, he also knows that this kind of situation is really unattainable, if it is not because of the mysterious “Spider Lady Prophecy”, why would a gold-ranked life weaving girl come to a black iron rank vampire as a licking dog?
This kind of good thing just think about it.
The vampire lord soothed himself, and then he looked at Villanther, who had reopened his eyes.
The latter’s strange white and black heterochromatic pupils had been uniformly changed to vampire blood pupils, making her less mysterious but adding a touch of the marvelous flavor brought by the Midnight power, and the life-weaving maiden’s connection with the Shadow and Midnight around her body was getting stronger and stronger.
Beyond that, however, the first embrace did not change Velanthar’s appearance.
As she had said before, the Spider Lady’s gift would protect her from becoming fully vampiric even if she received the First Embrace.
Her skin did get a bit paler though.
It was as if the dark-skinned elf had undergone a “whitening operation”, and the appearance of a few blood-sucking canines as she moved her teeth in a somewhat awkward manner proved that Velanthar was indeed infected by the blood of the sinners.
Looking at the uncomfortable movement of the life-weaving girl, Murphy shook his head and took out a bag of blood from his traveling bag and threw it to her.
The latter was a Shadow Elf with all five poisons, don’t expect her to have a strong will, naturally, she couldn’t resist the temptation of blood thirst, twisting open the lid and gulping down the bag of blood, which was Murphy’s amount for three months!
The vampire’s midnight regeneration was also rapidly taking effect, and as the blood was consumed causing Villanther to let out a rather astringent moan of satisfaction, the feeling of weakness that surrounded her body was also being quickly eliminated.
“Sweet! At this rate, I only need to drain the blood of a few dozen more before I’m back to full strength, the Mother of Midnight has a real love for vampires, bestowing such a mammoth amount of cursed life upon you. Unfortunately, my heart and my soul already belong to the Spider Maiden, and this power can only be enjoyed temporarily, never indulge in it.”
Saying that she could not indulge, Velanthar drained the last drop of blood from her wine bag, her tone of voice transformed into a “vampire voice” due to her first embrace, which changed her image from grotesque and seductive to somber and mysterious.
She didn’t hate the change herself, but blinked her pupils at Murphy, took the handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on the corner of her mouth, and then nuzzled her mouth.
Signaled that the two can now trust each other, so Murphy can say those so-called “secrets”.
The Vampire Lord did not delay any longer, he told Velanseur all the information about the “Twilight Organization Shadow Elf Faction” that his warriors had discovered in the city of Berne.
He said:
“Both Tris and Shani have confirmed that that ritual of transforming humans into arachnids is only used by you orthodox Shadow Elves, and my head of intelligence, Adele, is a descendant of the city of Medjevar, and she would not be mistaken in recognizing the tokens that that mob family has hidden away.
In other words, there are forces of dusk lurking in the city of Mejva.
Your fallen city may have been corrupted by the Dusk even before it broke.
Now that it is confirmed that biological weapons like the Ratmen are the very same damn things that the ‘Scholar’ faction researched, then when the two things are combined, it is not hard to guess the truth of the destruction of the city of Medjevar, Velanthar, my son.
Your city was not destroyed at the hands of the Ratmen!
That’s just the appearance.
The Duskwalkers amongst you conspired with the Ratmen to betray House Megawa, understand?
You are also victims of the Dusk conspiracy, and while you knew about the Dusk conspiracy before, now I think you should have a better understanding of the evil and insanity of that organization, and if you want vengeance, then you’ve got a target on your back.
The best part is that Dusk is also my enemy, and I’ve even formed a small anti-Dusk alliance.
I’d be happy to welcome a Fate Weaver girl who can foretell the future to join us.”
“Lady Spider is above all!”
Even though Villanther felt that she was well-informed, she was still taken aback by the truth Murphy disclosed; she was instinctively unwilling to believe that it was a traitor within the family who had worshipped the Extermination Organization, yet she simply couldn’t think of any reason to refute Murphy’s logic.
In fact, judging from the Shadow Elf’s character that her whole body would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t mess up for a day, it wasn’t impossible for this kind of scandal to really appear in their family.
“Do you know what to do now?”
Murphy asked in a low voice with the hazy tone of a qualified vampire conspirator, and the newly baked “Murphy’s Child” Ms. Villancer nodded, narrowing her eyes and letting her blood pupils show a hint of a murderous aura.
She said:
“Shadow Elves honor the power of intrigue, we despise crude confrontation, and always prefer to weave invisible webs in the darkness to bind and crush our enemies.
We are proud of it.
But betrayal is a sin that cannot be tolerated, even in the forbidding society of the Shadow Elves!
I will pass this message on to the other family matriarchs and life-weaving maidens, and as soon as the identity of the traitor to House Mejva is confirmed, she will instantly lose her foothold in the Eternal Rift and the Shadowlands.
If we promise some benefits to those greedy matriarchs, the other clans will be happy to send assassins to help us take down that scumbag who betrayed the clan!
But we need proof, Murphy no, my Supreme Lord, we need to track down the exact identity of that traitor, and as far as I know, there is still a remnant of the Megawa army that retreated deeper into the Eternity Rift after the city broke down.
The traitor must be hiding among those people.”
“Two questions!”
Murphy held out two hands and waved them as he said:
“First, why don’t you suspect those Shadow Elves who escaped with you, and second, why are you so stubborn that the traitor must be a woman?”
“Two answers.”
Velanthir grunted and gestured a ‘two’ in reply:
“First, the ones I brought out were a bunch of scared rats who were powerful but mindless to facilitate my control over their minds and actions, and I knew that my weakened self couldn’t handle characters who were too strong.
So if betrayal was one of those scumbags, they would have gotten me on the long journey long ago.
But I’m still alive, so there may be traitorous eyes and ears among those gutless rats, but there will never be a core cadre of traitors.
Secondly, I don’t believe a man could plan such a thing!
In the society of the Shadow Elves, only a woman could do such a great thing, and even if I lost my own family and hometown because of it, I have to admit that that conspirator’s act of overthrowing a family in one night is truly outstanding and daring.
If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to do it so perfectly.
Men?
Oh, the men who are our vassals are not capable of such things, so the betrayer is definitely a woman! Ah, see how foolish I am, and by weak men I definitely don’t mean you, my supreme master.
In fact, I think you’re already a ‘woman of honor’!
With your intellectually-crafted bosoms and a face more beautiful than 99% of all women, you have me so enamored that I swear to Ms. Spider! I say this from the heart.”
“Uh, I can probably understand why that betrayer did what he did.”
Murphy said in an odd tone:
“You Cult Lady Fist crazies are really enough, anyway, since we now have a common enemy, we can barely establish mutual trust between us. You now immediately go back to the town where your servants are and lead those Shadow Elves back to Transylvania.
My consul will arrange a garrison for you.”
“But you also said that there might be traitorous eyes among those guys!”
Villanther snapped:
“I’ve said that those guys are a bunch of gutless rats, the only value of their existence is to help me find you, my lord, and now that you and I have established mutual trust, they’re useless. In order to avoid the risk, why don’t we find a chance to give them all “
She didn’t finish, but the downward gesture meant everything.
Murphy shook his head, patted Villanther’s shoulder and said:
“You are a vampire now, my dear heir, please learn to think from a vampire’s perspective. It can be too easy for you to tell who the Eye is, and don’t you need blood if you need to regain your strength quickly?
Do you think I would let you hunt my people in the Scarlet Fortress?
No!
That is not permitted behavior.
But we are now in an alienated land .”
“Oh look, my new master is a villain masquerading as a saint, and he’s imploring me to finish off my poor followers with my own hands, and to make matters worse, I’ve become an heir no longer able to put up any resistance. Alas, a moment of silence for my followers.”
Villanther covered his mouth and let out a “royal smile”.
She laughed in a flamboyant manner, but did not refuse.
After all, if she wanted to cultivate power in the Blood Vulture Clan, she would need some servants, and even though she wasn’t a full vampire, she could still transform her own blood servant faction with the addition of the blood of the sinful descendants.
The near-unsolvable power of a depraved compulsion like the blood pact taking effect could perfectly help her discern the traitorous eye of a traitor.
This could be wonderful.
“Go on, I’ll give you five days.”
Murphy waved his hand as he endured the weakness brought on by the initial embrace within his body:
“I’m going to meet a Golden One who has regained most of his strength, and then, I’ll take you back to meet the rest of this Anti-Twilight Minor Alliance, we’re all going to be working together from now on, so you’d better put away those strange habits of yours.”
“I’ll go then, master.”
Behind him, Velanthar in her human form moved her six arms to bid farewell to Murphy, and as she turned to leave, her beaming smile quickly transformed into a touch of coldness that went deep into her heart.
Damn!
There’s a traitor in the family!
To be caught up in an unmitigated disaster, to be made homeless and to lose all status and honor was the greatest humiliation for a lady who had fought her way out of the intriguing society of the Shadow Elves.
She would surely find the culprit and sacrifice her in the name of the Spider Lady to the Abyssal Spider Queen of the Shadowlands!
She swore!
