Chapter 749: Midnight Dragon Flame, Join the Hunt!

Chapter 747: 746. Midnight Dragon Flame, Join the Hunt!

Avalon is a very humane deity.

Murphy had always thought so, he hadn’t had much contact with other deities, but Avalon had given him the best feeling, even though the deity had some strange and bad traits.

He liked to snoop.

He was the first of the Star World giants to discover Murphy’s existence, but He was obscene enough not to tell the other deities, instead quietly publicizing the secret only after arranging for the revival of his human church.

And Murphy could be sure that Avalon had been secretly observing his actions in this continent and making some adjustments from time to time to counter Murphy’s choices.

From this point, it can be proved that Avalon may not be the most powerful among the gods, but He is definitely the smartest among the gods, or the most cunning one.

When Murphy left from the Avalon Sanctuary, he had already made it clear that Avalon was actually harboring a very powerful plan.

From what He had just said to Murphy, it was not difficult to tell that He, who had molded three faces when He first ascended to God, had a complete plan for His deity career, and if it wasn’t for the unexpected factor of Ms. Spider, perhaps Avalon’s attempts would have already succeeded.

However, that is a secret belonging to the gods, Murphy felt that he still don’t chew on the root of the good, lest really be sent down the divine punishment will not be good.

He had to complete the same deal with Gaia and the Eastern Holy Spirit next, but Murphy had to make a plan in advance, so as to better persuade the stubborn Earth Mother Goddess and the Star Realm Dragon, who was said to be the most strict and disciplined among the deities.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

What’s more, Kurkan had said outright that even if the deities were willing to help, that symbolic cultivation would take time and wouldn’t happen overnight.

So he still had some free time to take his time and plot.

However, when returning to the Scarlet Cloister, Murphy saw at a glance Natalie and Chuchut, who would be standing by the Midnight Tower site at the entrance of the Cloister, talking.

He rolled his eyes and changed direction in the air, quietly flying towards the two ladies.

What these two people are talking about is not hard to guess, it’s just that Chuchute is describing for Natalie what her good old dad has done in the Aztec Kingdom, so that the people of the New World have labeled the “White Devil King”, which Murphy seems to be a very cool title.

“He was looking for a lost holy relic.”

Natalie was heard saying in a mournful tone as Murphy approached:
“The Church of Avalon’s Oak Triple Sacred Blades, which he retrieved from Dusk, at the cost of breaking the rules and paying with his own soul.”

Huntress stroked the Watcher’s Holy Blade in her hand.

In the past, the oak great sword that was always noisy was as quiet as a chicken tonight, and it seemed to be ashamed of the bitter master of that year, as the sword of the old Fennok, it was impossible for it that had a divine mind but was unconscious not to know about the sins that the old Fennok had done in the new continent.

“He did wrong and I cannot absolve him, he chose to sacrifice your people for the sake of our faith to remain after the collapse.

Now that I have inherited my father’s Holy Blade with his promise, those sins I should inherit along with it.”

Natalie said to an expressionless Chuchoot:
“After we settle the Black Plague, I will accompany you to the New World! Chuchut, I don’t know what the Church of Avalon can do there, but trust me, we will do everything we can to atone for our sins.”

“You had better.”

Chuchoot grunted and said:
“I came to the Old Continent to find reinforcements in addition to finding a cure for Kurkan, and you are the first reinforcements I have found, but you alone will certainly not be enough. Our borders are being invaded by an exaggerated number of Necromancers, and those are the sins of your pioneers on the Holy Spirit Plains.

Countless tribes have been slaughtered by you, and even the holy city of Machute has been desecrated.

The civilization of the New World is not as prosperous as yours here, but our disaster is due to you, and you have the responsibility and obligation to deal with the mess you have caused.”

Natalie was silent in the face of her statement.

As a descendant of the victimizer, all she could do was to accept such hectoring.

But Chuchoot was a kind girl, and she didn’t say anything more vicious, because it was boring and pointless; insults were no substitute for atonement, and so-called unspoken confessions in the heart were equally no good, not to mention any stupidity about having a hard time with the mind!

Thoughts and ideas cannot bring salvation at any time, only real actions can bring real relief.

“This Priestess Lady of Kulkan, since you’re asking for assistance from the Old Continent, you should always tell us your true identity, right?”

Murphy quietly spoke out at this time.

He said:

“I’ll find a way to solve the Feathered Serpent God’s problem, but a political request for help is not something I can intervene with, you should contact the forces of the Old Continent in a more formal capacity. So tell me, who are you really? And what kind of etiquette should we in Transylvania use to greet you?”

“Me.”

Chuchoot hesitated for a moment, but as she saw Murphy walking with his hands behind his back, she bit her lip and remembered what she had been taught by her family before she left, so she coughed twice and said:
“Alright then, listen up, my full name is Padella Chuchoot Osiris, the youngest daughter of King Osiris, the lord of the Aztec Sun Kingdom, and a reserve divine choice of Kulkan.

I was sent by my father out of the country and halfway across the world with the help of the Feathered Serpent God to come over to your realm in order to tell you all about what is happening in the New World.

That is the truth that cannot be hidden!

Your Explorers Guild is deliberately covering this up!
It was by them that the original explorers were brought there, those cunning fellows who visited my father in the name of an emissary and sent magnificent blankets stained with toxins as a gift, and it was fortunate that our chief priest, who is also my older brother, discovered the nefarious plot.

Yet even then, my merciful father did not execute them!
We merely banished them from our territory, but your explorers began secretly raiding those nomadic clans of the Plains of the Holy Spirit, and all those poor Machutians were killed by your forerunners!

Among them were also clans that worshipped the Feathered Serpent God, and it was the connection of faith that allowed death to be turned into venom to contaminate our protectorate.

I don’t know if the actions of the Explorer’s Guild came from your official authorization, but there is no doubt that it was very despicable!”

“However, as far as I know, the full-scale exploration of the New World by the Explorer’s Guild in Chardonnay Harbor ceased ten years ago, and now only a few ships per month travel to the New World to bring supplies at this time of year.”

Murphy shook his head:
“It is said that it was because of the problems with the routes of the Sea of Mists, the constant attacks on their ships by the Wave Fishmen who worship the Evil God, and the impact of the Ten Years’ War on the situation in the Old Continent, which led to the Halflings having to pause such a large-scale operation.

According to my master engineer, the halflings intend to develop airships that can cross the ocean before restarting such exploration.

So, if the Explorers Guild hasn’t sent armed explorers to the New World in ten years, where did the vicious ones who attacked and slaughtered your people come from?
Clearly, you have been deceived, Your Highness.

Someone is deliberately stirring up conflict between the New World and the Old World as a means of concealing their true purpose and actions, and perhaps the Archduke of the Blood Alliance Clan of our vampires, who has sent secret envoys to the New World, knows more in this regard.

Therefore I will arrange for you to meet with Venerable Lord Paying at a suitable time.

It’s just that if Dusk has already truncated the information interaction between the Old Continent and the New Continent, then your proclaiming the truth so boldly will surely bring you trouble.

Dusk’s power in the Old Continent is beyond your imagination, so I request that you must remain anonymous until I am ready.

You should be able to understand my reasons for doing so.”

He stared at Chuchoot and said seriously:

“The Old Continent is currently facing the threat of the Black Plague, and until this war is over, it is unlikely that all your appeals will receive a positive response, so you must be patient and just stay in Transylvania.

In due time I will introduce you to the kings, and a conversation with them should give your country the help it needs.”

“Uh you seem to have a plan and Kurkan trusts you, so I will trust you.”

Chuchoot scratched his head.

The young Princess was clearly a man of action, which meant she wasn’t very good at conducting diplomatic operations, and it was a sight for Murphy to see. What was going on with this Aztec kingdom?

How could they pick an emissary to pick someone like this?
But on the other hand, if that King Osiris had sent out not an emissary, but had used the name to send his own daughter out of the desperate situation that would surely lead to the destruction of his kingdom, then it seemed that everything could be explained.

Chuchoot may not have been aware of the horrific implications behind this, but Murphy had clearly thought of the worst case scenario.

He glanced at Princess Chuchut with some pity, it was really hard to imagine what Chuchut would feel when she returned to her homeland in the future and saw her razed homeland?
However, judging from the fact that Kurkan had only been contaminated by the Fall and still maintained his sanity, the Aztec Kingdom should not have reached the point of running out of gas, that country still had the strength to hold on, but if the Old Continent did not support them as soon as possible, facing the army of the dead shaped by the Dusk, they were not destined to have a very good ending.

“Go to my consul’s place, she’ll arrange a position for you to use to conceal your identity.”

Murphy said to Chuchoot:
“Since you, as a princess of a country, have to take on the heavy responsibility of gaining support for your homeland, you should also learn some diplomatic maneuvers and techniques, Miriam will teach you.

The most important thing is patience!

Perhaps you can learn how to fight the invaders from our war against the Black Plague, so that when you return to your homeland, you will be able to command your army as well.”

After saying that, Murphy gave a wink to Natalie, and the Demon Huntress immediately stepped forward to escort Chuchoot away.

However, Her Highness drew her unique obsidian hunting knife, stroked it with a face of reluctance, and then with her eyes closed handed that hunting knife to Murphy with both hands, saying:
“This is our Aztec tradition, we always give each other weapons when we meet new friends and clans make alliances, if Transylvania is willing to support the Aztec Kingdom in the future then please accept this gift.”

“This tradition of yours . Well, it is certainly well liked by my warriors.”

Murphy’s eyes were subtle as he looked at the divine weapon that was delivered to his eyes, and thought to himself that you, Princess Chuchoot, are really a fool, is it really good for you to give such a Sunblade that can burn a clan to death to a vampire who is a Midnight Favored One?
Does it really represent some kind of blessing and not a malicious provocation?
But since people had given it away, Murphy couldn’t refuse it, so he took the obsidian hunting blade and took out a thermite sword with a scabbard from his traveling bag as a return gift.

“Huh! Do you also have ‘Gift of the God of Creation Craftsmanship’ here? I haven’t seen this model before, it looks like a premium item!”

Chuchoot immediately exclaimed when she saw the Thermite Sword handed over by Murphy:
“I thought that only we Aztecs can enjoy the gift of the smith god, this kind of weapon that can’t be made by mortals at all has a lot of them here in your place too?”

“Wait!”

Murphy asked rhetorically with a jolt:

“So, are there many of these ‘gifts from the God of Creation Smithing’ in your place?”

“Uh, not too many la.”

Princess Chuchut took the Thermal Fusion Sword and held it in her hand and activated the switch rather skillfully, and also shook the dangerously hot blade a few times, so it looked like it was not the first time she had used a weapon of this specification.

She nodded in satisfaction, then wore this gift from the smith god around her waist, before replying to Murphy:

“We just have three 10,000-man legions fitted with weapons and gauntlets gifted by the smith god, that is the Aztec Kingdom’s accumulation of hundreds of years, a treasure from the smith god’s treasure trove that we found in the holy land of Machute. The quality is nowhere near as good as this weapon in your hands, but the victory is that there are still a lot of them.

I remember my father saying that there are less than 60,000 sets left in the country due to years of wear and tear. But that’s okay, there are still a few hidden treasures of the Craftsman God in the forest near the Tower of the Holy Spirit.

That’s a secret known only to the royal family of Osiris.

Those few treasuries hid divine force that could easily arm ten legions! Huh, Lord Murphy, why are you showing that expression?”

“Uh, it’s nothing.”

Because he didn’t know what expression to make, he could only slump his face, Murphy sighed and said:

“Originally, I thought you were fish in a fish pond, but I didn’t realize that you were truly giant sharks of the deep… That being said, a legion armed entirely with miraculous creations shouldn’t be afraid of the Necromancers, right? Why is it that according to what you said before, it seems like the entire Aztecs are about to die?”

“We are not afraid, but all those subordinate tribes of ours are almost killed off by you, and there is also a terrifying fellow like the ‘White Demon King’ who is simply not something that mortals can resist. Isn’t this situation serious enough?”

Chuchat asked rhetorically, and Murphy narrowed his eyes and asked again:
“So just how big is the Aztec Kingdom?”

“Well, I’ve seen your maps, and it’s actually just a little bigger than Transylvania.”

“How much bigger is ‘a little bigger’? Get your facts straight!”

“Uh, about two dozen times or so, the total area is about the size of the ancient kingdom of Calum.”

Hearing this reply, Murphy slapped his head vigorously.

OK.

No need to guess.

This is not the kind of situation he thought!
King Osiris sent his daughter to the old continent is not a request for help or refuge, he just sent his daughter over to “reprimand” the kings of the old continent for their lack of morality and righteousness, and demanded that they immediately send troops to clean up the mess, or else he would launch the dreaded “Sunset Expedition! “The Sunset Expedition is about to be launched.

No wonder you have to choose such a pugnacious princess to come over, as we all know, when the fool curses people to poke the lungs more.

According to the description of Chuchote, the power of her Aztec kingdom is probably stronger than that of the Kingdom of the Golden Sparrow, after all, even if you are King Louis, you can’t put together three legions equipped with all the low-level miracle artifacts, can you?

Shit!
No wonder Dusk has been messing around for so long and still hasn’t been able to get close to the Heart of the World, after all, it’s not that Dusk is only playing a conspiracy in the Old Continent, it’s that the Aztec Kingdom is holding back Dusk’s military power with its own strength outside the continent.

It seems that the water in the new continent is much deeper than the old continent.

Tsk, a certain lord and kings in the old continent who were tortured by Dusk to the point of vomiting blood, why don’t you hurry up and say thank you to His Majesty Osiris for saving your dog’s life?
Murphy sighed with emotion that the transformation of the world and destiny is really marvelous, so he went back to the corridor to tell this Aztec joke he just learned to Tris, and in the meantime, satisfy the mother tiger’s “appetite” that is getting more and more exaggerated.

Chuchute was sent to Miriam’s, and as Natalie was leaving the Executive Mansion, she ran into the newest vampire, Mrs. Lena, who was waiting for her.

“I’ve been offered a new job tracking down the Scholar factions in the Dusk and figuring out how to rescue the Cadmans who are trapped in the Astral Plane.”

Lena opened the door to Natalie:
“Adele tells me that you’ve also just learned some secret things about your father, and she guesses that you’ll be embarking on a journey to atone for your elders’ sins as well, so am I to understand that you’ll be accompanying me on this journey next?”

“Perhaps, but Dusk is my enemy in this life, there’s no doubt about it!”

Natalie said in a hushed voice:

“I will lead a group of witch hunters to assist you, Lady Lena, but you must at least have a direction.”

“I’m going to take a trip to the Valley of Shadows, I’m told that there is a Shadow Elf there who is very good at divination, she may be able to give me a direction, I just want to warn you, Servant of Avalon. My next actions may be a bit ‘berserk’, after all, I’m holding a fire in my heart, so you’d better not stop me in the name of faith.”

Lina said in a cold voice as she held the serpentine psychic sword called “Demon Flame” at her waist:
“I don’t need a bunch of ‘compassionate’ assistants either.”

“Swish.”

The Watcher’s Greatsword was inhabited in Natalie’s hand, and she pointed at it and asked:
“Look at it, listen to it, and then tell me, do you think I’ll be a liability? I’m even having second thoughts about switching to Red Knight now, Lady Lena.”

“Good, that’s what I need from you, come on, it’s getting late, time to get down to business.”

“Wait for me for an hour.”

“For what? Pray to your god?”

“No, just in desperate need of a counseling session after hearing some bad news . I suggest you come with me, I have to admit, that guy’s got a bit of a knack for the soothing side of things.”
