Chapter 69 68.Missy, Lord Jed is mad! He’s getting a new blood buzzard! 860]

(Extra for brother ‘Claws of Frost Teeth’ [3/5])
Murphy could only lament the fact that his little players were forever able to change their minds and give themselves a whole new job.

Just now, he received a report from the soldiers under Maxim’s command, a group of vampire “beggars” crawling out from the Great Rift were discovered by Lumina and Pomegranate, and have now been brought under control.

Murphy and Tris immediately rushed to the place where those vampires were placed.

On the way, Tris was vigorously “self-examining”:
“I was just saying it to stimulate Phineas, but I never thought it would come true. This isn’t right, with the concentration of spiritual energy in that star world in the inner city, even if they hadn’t been caught up in the star world, they wouldn’t have been able to hold out for seven days!

This isn’t right, Murph.”

Murphy also had a helpless look on his face.

Although he knew that those wretched vampire beggars suddenly appeared at this time was certainly not because of Tris’s crow’s mouth, he also took this opportunity to say to Tris:

“You also know that you have the trait of a crow’s mouth so don’t open your mouth on this kind of thing, perhaps it’s because your mouth is so poisonous that a certain passing deity couldn’t stand to look at it and prepared such a surprise for us.”

“Ch, which god would pay attention to vampires? Do you really think that our status as eternal sin descendants is a joke? The gods of the Star Realm are avoiding us.”

Tris rolled her eyes, seeing that Maxim was waiting ahead, she didn’t say any more just followed Murphy, while the loyal servant in front of her had a very strange expression.

Upon seeing Murphy come over, he immediately went forward and whispered:
“The ones who escaped are a few of the clan leader’s personal guards and their servants, and the one at the head is none other than Lord Jed.”

“Ah? Such a coincidence?”

Murphy also froze for a moment.

As far as he knew, there were almost 1,500 of the Salokdar patriarch’s personal guards, that was the elite of the elite of the pack, and Jed was just one of the 30 captains, and in the situation at hand he actually managed to escape alive.

The probability was indeed too low.

He also noticed Maxim’s odd expression and knew what was worrying his servant in his heart, he reached out and patted Mark’s shoulder and said in a low voice:

“I’ll make it clear to him, don’t worry.”

“Uh-huh.”

Maxim nodded and watched Murphy enter the house behind him, while Tris, who was coldly watching all this, took a sip of her wine and suddenly said to Maxim:
“Are you ready for this?”

The question made Maxim turn around in confusion, and then he heard Tris say:
“What if that Jed doesn’t approve of your departure? What if he’s not going to give my little Murph this face?”

“Me.”

The loyal servant clenched his fists at once.

He was struggling as much as he could in his heart, and then he saw Tris give a smiling grin and say to him:
“You have to understand that the Blood Wyvern Clan is dead in name only in this current situation, half buried in the grave along with those rules that reek of decay.

My little Murphy is going to do great things, and you, as his servant, will have to be flexible in your thinking.

You can’t always ask for what you want, can you?
You’re a Transylvanian native, you know what to do in times like these.”

Tris’s words were punctuated.

But Maxim already understood what Mrs. Tris meant, and he nodded, stepping back and pulling up his hood so that his expression and thoughts were hidden under his faceplate could no longer be seen by anyone.

And at that moment in the house, the eldest lady who had received the news and rushed over had already finished checking the bodies of the seven patriarch’s own guards in front of her, all seven of them were both male and female, but all of them were really very miserable.

Their body armor was tattered and had serious energy corrosion, and their bodies were so thin that they were almost skin and bones, at a glance, it was not the result of normal consumption, it was as if they had been drained of their life force by something.

One face emaciated, hair yellow, eye sockets deep sunken, dirty body also emits rancid smell.

Lumina and Pomegranate’s report did not have any problems at all, this was a group of vampire beggars who had been suffering for seven days in the inner city before escaping from life.

Their dozen or so servants were also in a hangdog state, but it was worth noting that there were no human bloodservants among these servants, but rather they had all already been completed as vampires by the First Embrace.

Obviously, it was impossible for an ordinary human to hold out until now in an environment as harsh as the inner city.

“How’s the situation?”

Murphy asked.

Missy shook her head and whispered as she wiped the smudges on her fingers with her handkerchief:

“It’s all very bad, they have experienced a long period of blood drawing making their physiology already quite exhausted, even the blood essence of their selves has gone into depletion.

There are also a few whose minds have even been severely eroded by the Star Realm’s filth, and have already developed dementia and madness.

This was irreversible mental damage!

Even if they could recover later, they would have to maintain this half-crazy appearance until eternal silence descended.

Tris was right about those vicious words earlier.

Tonight when the Spiritual Energy Vortex of this Star Realm Rift changed was their only chance to escape, and they did seize that chance and escaped from the inner city.”

“Really escaped from the inner city? I have a feeling that things aren’t that simple.”

Murphy was skeptical.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the miserable seven clan leader’s own guards in front of him and whispered:
“Both your and Tris’s expertise determined that even an upper vampire couldn’t possibly survive in the inner city, so I suspect that they must have previously taken refuge in some area that could temporarily withstand the contamination of the astral plane’s psychic energy.

Even though I’ve never been there, I do know that the Blood Wyvern Cloister is right in the center of the inner city, and that there’s also a vast underground area underneath the castle-type buildings on the ground.

The family’s sacred blood pool is also deep in the corridor, right?

Missy, there seems to be an answer to the question you’ve been worrying about. It seems that the Blood Vulture Clan is not dead, or at least not as miserable as you think, and that there may be other members of the clan alive in the corridor.

Even your father.”

“No, the clan is finished! I can be sure of that.”

Phimis sighed.

Seemingly not wanting to discuss this matter with Murphy at this time, she left a few bottles of alchemy potions and turned to leave the house, but Adele didn’t follow Missy out this time and instead stood guard at the door.

Obviously, Murphy’s heir was fearing for the life of his honored elder.

Although the seven matriarch’s personal guards here had all been weakened, their strength could all be at the Silver rank, and even if they were weaker, they were still the absolute elite of the family, and having their minds eroded by the Astral Realm Spiritual Energy made them even more dangerous.

Murphy came to Lord Jed’s side.

He looked at Jed who was lying on the wooden board in front of him, this patriarch’s personal guard no longer had the powerful and elegant posture that he had when he declared his orders to Murphy before.

Not to mention the tattered and bloodstained armor on his body, just his manners were no longer normal, and now it was as if he had aged hundreds of years at once.

There were serious wrinkles on his handsome forehead, and even his black hair had turned gray.

It looked rather forlorn.

Murphy reached out and twisted the potion Missy had left behind and poured it into Jed’s mouth for him, and just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a weak, mimetic voice ringing in his ears:

“Let your heir go first; I have something to say to you, Murphy.”

“Hmm?”

Murphy blinked.

It was Jed’s voice, was the guy awake?
Or had he been pretending to be asleep the whole time?
But why?
“Adele, go check on Tris.”

Murphy turned to his heir and barked:
“By the way, wander around the Great Rift a few times to see if there are any more of your compatriots who have broken out, and don’t worry about me, I’m safe amongst my own people.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Lady Adele turned to leave, and the door to the room, which had fallen covered in ashes, closed at that moment.

As the room was plunged into darkness, the frail figure lying on the plank before Murphy’s eyes immediately rose and sat up.

Jed’s eyes were open could see the exhaustion and celebration in them, he tremblingly reached out his hand and released a psychic spell, Murphy could feel a layer of invisible power sweeping across the room, shrouding all sounds in it.

“There’s no one…” Jed gasped, speaking to Murphy in the darkness:

“A few of us were the last members of the Blood Vulture to escape! I must tell you that something terrible happened in the cloisters, before the Astral Rift opened, and I’m afraid to even speak it out loud.

What happened in the blackness of Cadman City wasn’t just a disaster in the Astral Realm, far from just a natural disaster, it was also a man-made disaster.

But the Mother of Darkness was favoring me!
The blessing of midnight brought me to the old man, little Murphy.”

He looked Murphy up and down with a look of admiration tinged with surprise, and said:

“I am not unconscious. Having been looking around in my way before being sent here by my servant Maxim, I saw the survivors who obeyed you, those delicious humans! Not only have you returned alive but you have gathered a decent force on top of the ruins.

It seems everyone has underestimated you, Murphy.

Everyone underestimated Tris, too.

Tell me, was your low profile before a disguise she asked you to make?”

“It seems my disguise wasn’t good enough for you to notice, Lord Jed.”

Murphy replied with a false sense of humor:

“I have always remembered your favor, without your help at the beginning, I would have never been able to complete that death delivery mission alive, and I am grateful to the Mother of Darkness for allowing me to see you again after this disaster.

Do you need blood?
I’ll send some over right away.”

“Of course, my companions and I are in dire need of blood to recover, but don’t let any of those stupid and cowardly human livestock in, we’re not in a very decent state right now.

It would destroy the great image of the Great Blood in their foolish minds.

Gather their blood and send it over quietly, and let Maxim deliver it, he is the one we all trust.

But be careful!
Never!

Don’t ever let that little bitch Femis find out.”

Jed’s throat moved up and down, obviously eager for blood but with more than a little warning to Murphy, which made Murphy notice something was wrong.

He frowned and asked:

“Why did you hide it from Missy?”

“Because it was her father who started it all, the once wise and powerful Salokdar has fallen to madness, he is a sinner of the family and a monster to the species!”

Jed whispered with intense disgust and a hint of hidden fear:

“It was he who started the horrors in the Cloisters, the madman who buried the Clan with his own hands no longer deserves to be our Patriarch. As for Phimis, huh, you don’t know yet, do you? When the city was engulfed by the astral realm, she foolishly rushed into the Blood Wyvern Cloister that was being closed, but escaped again by relying on her status as the clan’s heir.

We prayed for her to take us away.

But she cruelly left us behind, making us a sacrifice for her father’s ugly deeds!

I bet she didn’t tell you that.

Obviously, she’s hiding a lot from you, and this proves that she’s just using you.

Murph, listen to me!

I have a plan now that I need your help with. It looks like you’ve already earned the trust of that little poisonous bitch Femis, and that’s good! It shows that the Mother of Midnight is looking out for you and me.”

He removed a small crystal vial from his psionic bag and handed it to Murphy, speaking muffled in the darkness:
“Feed it to that little bitch, just a few drops . You’ve come to the tipping point of the Black Iron rank, and I can sense that you need a prey to complete your power advancement.

I’ll help you, Murph.

Phineas is that perfect prey.

After you execute her with your own hands, the Salokdar bloodline will be severed, and you and I we will have true power.”

“Real power?”

Murphy took the small crystal vial without hesitation, but he was clearly eager to hear more, and Jed, who would be needing Murphy’s services right now was also acting very generously as he said with an inexplicable exuberance:
“Yes, real power!”

As Jed’s fingers danced in the darkness, something appeared at his fingertips.

The thing was like an irregular stone slab emitting a scarlet shimmer in the darkness, and Murphy was immediately attracted to the thing’s attention, as if there was a voice in his consciousness calling him to touch it.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but immediately retracted it again, as if he had been scalded by an invisible flame.

“Oh, don’t be afraid, touch it, touch the treasure we took back after nine deaths, a third of the Grand Duke’s Certificate!”

Jed laughed in a low voice:

“With your position in the family, you would never have been able to see it with your own eyes in your lifetime during the times when Salokdar was in power, but times have changed now, Murphy.

Listen to me, whoever holds this is the next Archduke of the Blood Wyverns! Not even the harshest of Blood League knights could possibly deny this transfer of power.

Yet all that’s required is that Phineas must die!

The Salokdar bloodline must be snuffed out, and the commoners under your command will be the first members of the new -Blood Wyvern Clan- dominated by me! Yes, although the pool of sacred blood has been tainted, we can still rebuild the clan with a large number of first-comers.

You see, I’ve been so honest with you, but then Femis never tells you her true intentions and plans.

Like I said, that little bitch was just lying to you.

She’s just as cunning and cold as her father.

But not me, and I’m going to generously share this with you. We’ve both come up from the bottom, Murph, and we understand how sweet that ambition to get ahead can be.

We were born to stand together.”

Murphy didn’t reply, nor did he pay any attention to Jed’s somewhat neurotic persuasion and seduction.

He seriously suspected that the guy might have had his mind eroded by astral psychic energy as well, or maybe he really was desperate and needed Murphy on his side at this point?
No matter which truth it was, it meant that Murphy could in turn utilize Jade, who had a need for him.

And with his attention this time focused on the scarlet tablet in Jed’s hand, the information tab popped up the moment his finger touched it:

“What a magnificent and great object! I cannot imagine just how many sacrifices you and your companions have made to get it .”

Murphy withdrew his fingers and took a deep breath.

He leaned down slightly in the darkness and whispered in a flattering tone to Lord Jed:

“Then allow me to furtively become your sword in the darkness, my honorable Jed. Archduke.”
