Chapter 7 7 Vampires can be good if the person across from them is bad enough
Chapter 7 7. Vampires can be good if the person across from them is bad enough
“Badger! Badger, are you okay? Are you alive? Why don’t you say something?”
At the “accident scene” in the blazing village of Moorland, the gray-headed Big Pigeon climbed up from the ground and felt that the sky was spinning in front of his eyes.
This is definitely a slight concussion.
The symptoms were exactly the same as the last time he was hit in the head by an “accidental” soccer ball when he was playing with a girl in the playground!
Fuck, this experience is too real, right?
His first reaction was to call out to his two brothers, when the explosion happened, he seemed to see the nearest unlucky guy, Goo Goo Chicken, being blown away?
Alas, the probability was that it had already gagged and turned into a roasted chicken.
But the truth is a little better than Pigeon Treasure imagined.
The goo goo chicken wasn’t dead yet, he was thrown out by the violent explosion right into the plank door across the village street.
Although it felt like his waist was going to be broken but at least he was fine, he was only inflicted with a [Blindness] and [Deafness] Debuff, and this time he was lying on the ground grunting and couldn’t get up in the middle of the day.
The one in the best situation was Badger.
This lucky guy was far away at that time, and Maxim was using half-baked sign language to communicate and get close, as a result, when the warehouse in the village exploded in front of his eyes, he was crushed by Maxim on the ground, and not even a hair was hurt.
But the scene in front of the four men was tragic.
Moorland village only this street, the village of the east end of the warehouse was witch hunter alchemy bomb explosion, which added a similar to the “fire glue” substance released to make the flames burn very intense, quickly will be around the building ignited, the most crazy is the warehouse is also constantly being ignited villagers howled and pounced out.
However, they were already hopeless.
They had some kind of oil poured on them, and most of them would collapse in the midst of the fire after a few flings.
According to theory, the scenes that happen in the game even more horrible for the players is just a story and animation, but the three players at this time in the “game” is too real, that exciting scene so that the three innocent college students froze in place for a time, want to help some of the hands and feet.
Badger want to rush up but was held down by Maxim, such a fire as long as close to be burned.
Innocent little players really can’t understand why the witch hunters would lock up the villagers in the warehouse, and why would they detonate a bomb in their own hiding place?
But Maxim had heard of such things.
He got up from the ground and said to Badger in a tone of hatred and disgust:
“The witch hunters convicted this village of being a gathering place for vampire worshippers and sentenced these villagers to be ‘burned at the stake’, and those maniacs kept the innocents in the warehouse, and it seems that Ben intended to execute them after he killed Lord Murphy.
But we fought and won.
So the witch hunters, who knew they would never live again, chose to die together.
What an underhanded thing to do!”
Maxim spoke in great detail, nay the DD Yukio players really couldn’t understand his Transylvanian, but from Maxim’s sad and angry expression, the players could probably guess the cause and effect of the matter.
Especially the still-burning skeleton of the witch hunter that was revealed after the outer wall of the burning warehouse collapsed, causing the lead Big Dove to instantly break out in righteous indignation:
“Fuck! Fighting is fighting! Killing vampires is fine, but what the hell is killing civilians? These witch hunters are too disgusting! What’s the difference between this and the brats that deserve to go to hell?”
“I do think this scene is a bit disgusting.”
Badger twisted his head in a very intolerant manner and whispered:
“As for making it so real? Why don’t we just make a few posters? If we do this, it’ll be hell if this game passes the scrutiny even after the test is completed.”
“Uh, I can’t see it now.”
The temporarily blinded Spicy Goo Goo Chicken sat on the side and gasped as he whispered:
“But listening to your descriptions, I got the feeling that this blindness doesn’t seem to be a bad thing, amitabha ah, it’s really miserable.”
Maxim was originally born in a similar village, this would see this tragedy could no longer resist going up and half kneeling in front of the deadly fire and whispering a prayer.
The most hellish joke of all was that despite the fact that the people of this village had been massacred by the witch hunters of the old religion, he would be praying with the prayers of the old religion.
There is no way, the vampires do not have their own gods and churches resulting in the vampire worshippers to pay tribute to the dead can only use the canon of a religion that has disappeared for ten years, the other faith of the human civilization is far away in the northern kingdom of Nordtorf, the teachings of the Church of the Winter Wolves has not been able to spread in the region of Transylvania, which is out of place in the environment in which they live.
The three small players were also silent at this point.
“See?”
Murphy’s voice rang out from behind them.
The vampire looked at the scene of evil madness in front of him making him a little emotional as well, for the players it was just a game but for Murphy it was all real.
Drawing on the emotions of the moment, in the reflection of the firelight in front of him, Murphy whispered to the players in a half-truthful, elongated voice:
“Things like this happen every day in this brutal and savage world, but others turn a blind eye to it! The Fallen have become so immersed in their fantasies of lust, power, and war that they say nothing of the real suffering that befalls life.
This is why I call upon you, warriors of the Otherworld.
This is the grand plan I wish to prepare and execute.
Together, we may be able to turn all this around!
I firmly believe this!
With your power combined with my wisdom, we will be able to create a world where similar tragedies will never happen again.”
Murphy stood in front of the burning fire, he turned his back to the three little players like those protagonist NPCs with firm character, after a few seconds of silence, he turned to look at them and said:
“This kind of walking towards the light really shouldn’t be done by a vampire, yet no one else is willing to step forward! This world has always lacked true heroes, so they had to make do with me, a Blood.
Warriors.
Will you help me?
After witnessing the brutality, ignorance, and darkness with your own eyes, are you willing to join me in this grand plan?”
“This is the right time for a quest box to pop up for flavor.”
The lead Big Pigeon twisted his head and spat at his two brothers, and the two guys nodded in return, but in the next second, Pigeonbot rose resolutely and took Murphy’s outstretched hand.
He said in a sincere tone:
“Of course, the righteous ones will not turn a blind eye to such a dark evil, Lord Murphy, we, the remnants of the Otherworld, will be boarding your ship that leads to a wonderful new world today!”
“Blanch! Do you want to get so into the act? How come you’re better at acting than me! How about you become an NPC?”
Murphy had a touched face on the surface, but in reality, he was twisted to death in his heart.
Why is this guy still a middle-aged teenager?
Although you have a righteous face, but don’t think I don’t know that you are playing card face to fight and white beard’s terrier ow! Don’t look at me now so young and so handsome, but old uncle me before crossing over can also be a senior two prick ape it.
“Very good.”
Murphy held back the pounding desire to spit in his heart, withdrew his own hand, and said to the three small players in front of him: “Then our endeavors begin now! I’m weak now, and my servants need to rest, so I’ll ask you to search the village to see if there are any survivors left, perhaps they can join our cause as well.
Purchasing proper armor and weapons for you warriors will require money, so I would like you to collect some unclaimed currency to fund our organization’s activities.
I realize this is a bit vulgar.
But a just cause always needs the support of reality, and we can’t afford to fill our bellies with ideals.”
“Tsk, this NPC of ours is a talent.”
Arrivaln squeezed his eyes and said to Pigeon Treasure and Cuckoo Chicken:
“Talking about scavenging so nicely, this guy is still a pragmatist, hey, not as ungrounded as those kingly NPCs.
That’s pretty good.”
“Go go go, scavenge.”
The lead Big Pigeon shrugged as he and Badger assisted the cooing chicken, who had not yet recovered from his concussive blindness, one by one and headed towards the village, leaving Murphy and Maxim behind.
“I’ll leave the search to my warriors, and you get some rest.”
Murphy sat on a collapsed door panel and said to Maxim who had finished his prayers:
“You must also learn to communicate with my warriors, they are very good people, warm-hearted and tireless, you can tell them whatever you need and they will do their best to find it for you.
Of course, payment is a must when dealing with them.
It is a tradition in their warrior world, and unpaid behavior will make them see you as an enemy.”
“But I don’t have any money .”
Maxim was a little embarrassed.
It was good enough for defective blood servants like him to have a mouthful of food, even they themselves were Lord Jed’s personal property, what did they need money for? Planning to recruit and rebel?
But Murphy shook his head as he explained:
“It’s not just money, they are interested in everything we have here, and are said to have a serious collecting fetish, you can pay them in kind, anything will do, of course, coins, weapons and armor are their favorites.
If you can get your hands on a handsome warhorse or something rare and precious as a reward, they will be even happier and see you as closer and someone they can trust.”
“Sounds a lot like mercenaries, the same contempt for death, the same heartlessness, moved or saddened can’t affect their actual actions, only fighting for the sake of profit.”
Maxim summarized, Murphy was satisfied with the analogy, he said:
“They are the mercenaries of the Otherworld! Pure, profit-seeking yet just, they are comparable to the most selfless angels when they are good, and they make the evil demons of hell tremble when they are evil, and I am now glad that they are on our side.
Enough about them.
I’ll rest for a while, and then we’ll discuss how we should proceed to the Midnight Hunters’ camp.”
After saying that, he closed his eyes in what appeared to be a false sleep, but was actually checking the rewards of the Novice Orientation Quest:
[Novice Orientation Quest (3/6): Basic Practical Combat Test (Completed).
Reward: test invitation code +5, game forum function unlocked.
Developer’s note: The forum is not only a place to share all kinds of gossip and bad things after tea, but also a meeting place for cute little players to share all kinds of moods.
They need the forum as much as an adventurer needs a tavern, and now you have your own tavern, so please make good use of it.
[Novice Orientation Quest (4/6): Advanced Practical Battle Test, commanding the testers to conduct a qualified practical battle, requiring the annihilation or repulsion of opponents while losing no more than one-fifth of the available manpower.
Winning condition: currently possessing a manpower of 15, loss of more than 3 or more will be considered a mission failure.
Rewards: Test Invitation Code +5, new features unlocked, additional rewards depending on mission completion.
Developer’s Note: With such cute little players, do you want to use them as cannon fodder? In fact, it is not impossible, but for this stage, this side suggests that you reasonably allocate every valuable manpower, in other words, you must first learn the fine operation of the brother, in order to execute the crisp box A tactics.]
“Is this mission difficulty setting serious? Why do I feel like you’ve spanned an entire world between this three and four! Is this forcing me to become an RTS player from roleplaying?
How about I gouge my eyes out and complete the transfer now?”
Murphy spat viciously in his heart.
But the reward still smelled good.
He saw the newly unlocked game forum function at the bottom of the character card, and touched it with his consciousness like moving a void mouse, then there was a large amount of light flashing in front of his eyes, and then a webpage-like window appeared in the translucent stream of light, and it felt like he was sitting in front of a computer desk and surfing on the internet.
This is the main body of the forum.
To be honest, quite simple, but the functions such as private messaging, posting, discussion groups and so on basically have.
Murphy skillfully checked his account information, and then saw his ID, but it wasn’t Revernor Murphy Le Sombra, but an [Alpha] of unknown significance.
This reminded him of when the test program administrator system was first activated, the first guidance mission, the content description also referred to him as “Alpha”.
“What exactly does this title mean?”
Murphy pondered in his mind but couldn’t get an answer, he continued to check his account information to show that he had been given the sole privilege of being the administrator of this forum.
Just as he himself was the sole administrator of the “game” he was testing during his interaction with the players, Murphy continued to check his account information to see that he had been given sole access to the forum.
“Perhaps I could try forcing players to go offline? As an occasional show of my majesty as a permission dog.”
This slightly evil thought jumped into Murphy’s mind, making the unlucky vampire’s heart jump for joy, and then he turned his gaze to this unusually simple but not simplistic forum.
Currently there were no posts sent out, after all, this function had just been unlocked, but from the number of people in the forum displaying [10/15] it could be seen that the five test invitation codes that had just been obtained this would still be circulating and searching for suitable beta testers in a way that Murphy couldn’t have imagined in the world of the players.
That said, what exactly are this weird thing’s criteria for selecting players?
Could it be that it really depends on luck?
Murphy pondered these questions, and was planning to go into a surf and water to ease his nervous and bewildered mind, but before he could act, an abrupt gunshot made him rise up in a huff, and beside him, Maxim nervously gripped the sword in his hand.
This village had probably been cleaned out by the witch hunters.
Where did the gunshots come from?
Most importantly, had their cute little players been ga?
Blanch!
Dare to kill my cute little players! What a face for you guys!
