Chapter 59 59.For this situation, we generally refer to it as “specialty play.”

“Missy, Lord Murphy requests that you come forward to him at once, there is important news to be told.”

Mrs. Adele quickly walked into one of the hidden towers in the city and whispered to Missy Femis, who was studying some ancient tome.

The latter was looking too seriously causing Lady Adele to startle her when she spoke, subconsciously covering the book in her hands again, an action that caused Lady Adele to blink, but she didn’t react more.

“What’s going on again?”

Femis, who didn’t seem to be in the best of moods and would speak in a slightly unkind tone, grumbled:

“I’ve never seen any vampire as nosy as Murphy before, he is truly an anomaly among us, not like a vampire at all, but like a human who is transforming into a sophisticated schemer.”

“It’s about the current pitfalls.”

Without expressing her opinion on that statement, Mrs. Adele whispered:
“Lord Murphy seems to have detected a new danger approaching, and he needs you to be aware of it as well; Lady Tris and he are already waiting for you in front of the defense line.”

“You actually want to call him ‘Master’ don’t you?”

Missy said to Lady Adele as she stepped out of her hiding place to look at the still cloudy and odd sky above her, spreading her blood vulture bat wings as she did so:

“I think you’ve felt the enforced obedience of the bloodline contract.

There’s no need to resist that instinct, vampire society is like that, the control of the superior over the subordinate is hard to be resisted, I’m just glad now that Murphy isn’t a shameless and nasty person, or else it would be like I’m pushing you into the fire with my own hands.

Would you blame me?”

“I owe this life to you.”

Mrs. Adele blinked her own scarlet eyes and shook her head:
“Without you, I would have died twenty years ago, so how could I blame you? But, Missy, why do you . I mean, if it were to become of your blood, I would be more .”

“I don’t want to talk about that right now, Adele.”

Missy was obviously deliberately avoiding the question.

She waved her hand, gathering her wings in preparation for flight, and addressed her former housekeeper:
“You must realize that you are now of Murphy’s blood, and you must get used to the presence of such an honorable man, and not rebel against him because of me!
It is for your own good.

I don’t want to see you put on the leash of shame; Murphy may not do it, but Tris. She’ll never be soft on that.

I’ve only just gone through the family books to realize what a crazy and vicious creature Tris was when she was young, and compared to the heart-stopping stories, she’s as unreal now as if she were a disheveled silhouette of a life that’s already dead.

Remember, Adele.

You’re in a better place now, don’t mess with her.”

“Uh-huh.”

Lady Adele nodded and followed Missy as she spread her wings and flew into the darkening sky, landing again a few minutes later under the city’s walled defenses.

Murphy was discussing something with Tris, and when she saw Murphy’s back, Mrs. Adele’s heart suddenly surged with an unexplained “loyalty”.

She longed to kneel in front of this lord to offer her loyalty to him and receive his praise. Although it was only a fleeting thought, it proved that she was indeed being influenced by the bloodline contract.

She could only continue to maintain her usual silence and aloofness, trying to hide her mind beneath her face.

After seeing Missy come over, Murphy didn’t say anything nonsense.

“The witch hunters are here!”

He said seriously:
“Two of my warriors encountered them in the forest outside the camp, one dead and one captured, it is not yet possible to confirm their size, but it is certain that they are coming from a bad place.”

Missy also got a bit of a headache from this sudden news.

She sat down on a nearby rock and after a few seconds tilted her head back to look at Murphy and said:
“Can’t you establish a psychic connection with your warriors? They are clearly your summons, and in the physical world, you have the power to dominate them.”

“You sure know that!”

Murphy grunted and said:
“Onii-sama is really good at feigning ignorance, what kind of soul is hidden underneath your seemingly innocent exterior?”

“Maybe it’s a really naive soul too.”

Tris reached out to stop Murphy’s words as she looked at Missy and said:

“You have to hide this secret, it’s not a request!”

“I swear.”

Without arguing with Tris, Missy simply raised her finger and swore, which stopped Tris from dwelling on the issue, and she turned back to Murphy:

“Where is that captured warrior now?”

“In a place that sticks in my mind.”

Murphy looked at the coordinates and abbreviated map projected by the core jewel in his hand as he said:

“Moorland Village, I thought I would never have any interactions with that place again in my life, it seems that the witch hunters have camped there and are really cautious.”

“We don’t have enough power no, we don’t have the power to attack there at all.”

Missy said as she raised her hand:

“As long as the witch hunters are outnumbered by more than two squads, we’ll have to consider avoiding them.

Don’t expect civilians to play much of a role in fighting them off, the slaughter of vampire-worshipping civilians by those guys has become a grotesque monstrosity in the Ten Years War.

We’ve got to figure out why they’re here now, and we’ve got to speed up our operations.”

“We could leave.”

Mrs. Adele, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up:

“We can migrate in the direction of the Dark Mountain Range!
I know that between the Filthy Swamp and the barren mountains on the outskirts of the Dark Mountain Range, there is another hidden valley off the beaten path that can be used as a hideout, and we can even bring all the survivors here with us.

It’s big enough there.

If you guys need it, I can take you there.”

“No!”

Murphy and Missy simultaneously spoke out to reject this proposal, both of them had different starting points, but they were clearly unwilling to give up the Cadman City stronghold.

This tacit agreement made Tris roll her eyes as she said:

“If we don’t go, then we’ll have to find another way.

But if I had to guess, I would tell you that this matter is probably not as dangerous as you think, and I suspect that those witch hunters are not targeting us at all.

What they want is probably something hidden in the city of Cadman and certain credentials well let me get this straight, I suspect that they are here to confirm the death of Salokdar and the complete overthrow of the Blood Wyverns.

So, if it works well, conflict may not break out between the two sides.

It might even be possible to pretend each other doesn’t exist.”

“Are you kidding? Mrs. Tris.”

Missy whispered:

“It seems to me that those witch hunters have long since gone mad, they are the hounds of war chasing after all destruction and killing, they were originally created by the Old Religion to fight us.”

“I know that better than you do, Phimis, and I don’t need you to emphasize to me who they are! The first witch hunters made their first move right under my nose.

And I was young then, younger than you.”

Mrs. Trixie bristled:
“So don’t flaunt your pathetic insights in front of me, you do realize that the rapid degeneration of the witch hunters only began after the Old Religion rebellion was crushed at the beginning of the Ten Years’ War. For hundreds of years counting ahead, they had prided themselves on being the guardians of the Kingdom of Isha, and their moral and military qualities surpassed those of the vast majority of organizations on the continent.

So, if the one leading the group this time is a sensible guy old enough to have experienced the glory of the old days, then the possibility of negotiation exists between our two sides.

After all, Salokdar can’t control us anymore, and we’re free enough in this matter.

Of course, it’s only a possibility!
As far as Cadman City and the Blood Wyvern Clan are in this miserable state now, it would be a matter of a smooth cut for them to exterminate us, as for what to choose, it depends on what Little Murphy wants.”

The other three women’s gazes fell on Murphy.

The vampire played with the core treasure pearl in his hand, and after a moment, he shrugged and said:

“I’ll give it a try then.”
—
“Ding.”

The captured unlucky Kachitonitai had just opened his eyes after coming back online when he heard a soft sound from the arithmetic jewel strapped to his wrist, followed by a floating alert popping up on the player interface:
[Random Event – Trouble in the Camp has been completed! The follow-up hidden quest-‘Messenger of Blood and Blades’ has been triggered!
Mission Description: Lord Murphy has already known about your current predicament through his mysterious connection with you, but any crisis hides an opportunity, and Lord Murphy has decided to give you a special mission.

He wants you to represent him and establish some kind of potential connection with the Witch Hunters, but this represents danger, and the merciful Murphy would never ask his warriors to fight for their lives.

Mission Objective: Convince the leader of the witch hunters to establish contact with Murphy.

Quest Reward: Blood Wyvern Clan Veteran’s Set [6/6], Warehouse Guard Mick’s Ambition Series Weapons [2/2

Tip!

This quest is optional and extremely difficult!

Dev Team Tip!

Testers may abandon this mission and enter the death process at any time without any additional penalties via the ‘Force Disconnect’ option if they determine they are about to be victimized].

“Shit!”

As soon as he saw the optional mission pop up, Kaki’s heart was filled with joy, and then both of his eyes turned into the shape of gold coins after seeing the reward payoff that could be described as generous.

He was just a newcomer who had just entered the game 2 days ago, but he knew that even those old birds could not gather a set of “Veteran” series armor, and the secret vault guard’s Ambition series weapons were even more rare.

This thing is not only the attributes of the best, the appearance of the wind and also with the background story and yellow description, the collection of attributes and pull the degree of wind is simply pull full.

Known means of obtaining them can only be dropped through Maxim’s “Trial of Power”, and in the entire game there is only a pair of Miku Guard’s Ambition Blades obtained by the highly popular Garnet Sister through the “Card Bug”.

All you need to do is complete this random event and you’ll get a full set of high-level protective gear, and you can even give a good weapon to the unlucky Mud to Luda Oil to comfort his broken heart, and let that bastard take up his lunch for the next week.

This is totally a wave of fat rhythm ah!

However, the gym student was a bit reckless but not stupid, and such a generous reward meant that the risks he had to take could be far higher than fighting wild monsters in the city ruins.

But he was a player!

No matter how he lived, it was impossible to die, the big deal was that after 3 days of hanging up, he was a good man again, so whatever the risk and difficulty, just do it.

He made up his mind and then observed his surroundings.

Kaki soon found himself tied up by a burning campfire, with three fearful camp laborers, also tied up, and guarded by three Asassin witch hunters, who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

The gazes of those guys under their hoods were like cold knives, chilling one’s scalp.

“I want to see your leader!”

Kaki shouted, but no one paid any attention to him at all.

For one thing, the witch hunters were used to the screams of their prey.

On the other hand, who the hell understands your otherworldly language? And with a northeastern accent!

And at the same time that Kachitonitai was racking his brain trying to establish a connection, in a house cleared out of the ruins of the village of Moorland, the old Knight Fenok was also receiving reports from the hunters under his command.

“War chief! That captive who was kidnapped back is an otherworldly summon under Vampire Murphy’s command! Although that guy made a psychic disguise for his summon, I can confirm this!”

Natalie, the captain of the hunters, said in a hushed voice to her officer:
“My team and I have fought them in this village before, and their language is from the Otherworld, a trait they can’t disguise.”

Old Finok did not reply.

He looked at the psychic dog tags in his hand that belonged to Kachitonitai, and could clearly feel the effects of the several psychic spells on the tags, which side-stepped the fact that Natalie wasn’t lying.

After a moment, he looked up and asked:

“So, the vampire Murphy that you’ve been ‘hung up on’ is the core of these summons in the material world, right? In other words, it is possible to contact the one who is now basically identified as the main perpetrator of the series of visions in Cadman City through these summons?
Natalie, I have not inquired as to how you and your crew managed to escape from the Midnight Hunters, but my guess is that there must have been some ‘external factor’ involved in your being able to escape from that desperate situation.

Just something to do with this mysterious Murphy?”

The War Chief’s inquiry made Natalie bite her lip, and she nodded very reluctantly, saying:
“It was one of his blood servants who delivered the message, and it was also his blood servant who gave us the chance to fight back at the last moment, but I don’t think it stems from vampire’s benevolence, it’s just another conspiracy!
We were just used as a sword by that Murphy to harm his fellow man.

He used us, and that makes me hate him even more.”

“Why would you hate someone who saved your life? Even if he was a vampire. Senseless hatred is a luxury in life.”

Old Finnock shook his head.

He placed the psychic dog tag in his hand and said to Natalie:

“Bring that captive here, I want to interrogate him myself.”

“War Chief!”

Natalie immediately realized that things were not good, she stepped forward and pressed one hand on the table, saying in a deep voice:
“You can’t liaise with vampires in private! It’s not in accordance with the rules! They are our enemies! They must be eradicated.”

“Witch hunters have no enemies! Natalie!”

Old Finok interrupted the young hunter captain in a lower voice, staring intently at the warrior woman in front of him as he spoke in a single word:
“The Blood Vulture Clan is the enemy of the Kingdom of Goldfinch in this war, not ours! The grudges of the past after the fall of the old religion are meaningless.

Just because we have now joined the Ten Year War in the form of mercenaries does not mean that we have truly become hounds captured by hatred and war.

You have lived through the time when the old religion was still alive, and is there a motto from my god in the training you have received since you were a child that informs you that you must kill every vampire in this world?
Killing has never been the will of Avalon, not even for the Red Knight, the symbol of plague and conquest.

You have been changed by war, Natalie.

I think it’s you who should calm down.

You’re content to be a warrior full of rage and even indulge in wallowing in it, but you know very well that you can’t just be a warrior! You have to think about the future of your companions.

That’s why I agreed to bring you four here.”

“The future?”

Natalie lowered her head and laughed bitterly for a few moments as she said in a muffled voice:
“We didn’t have a future a long time ago, War Chief.”

“There is!”

Old Norfolk narrowed his eyes and said softly:

“The future is something that never fades; you can find traces of hope if you keep your eyes peeled, and you must carefully consider every possible path before you make your final choice.

That Murphy has beaten you before, and he has saved you before.

That means that is not an ordinary vampire, and you have to pay extra attention to such an individual.

Natalie, I didn’t bring you out here this time just so you could fulfill your vengeance on your companions, you need to learn to be an alpha!
Start learning right now!

That’s an order!”
