While the young players are acting, the NPC team is also doing its own work.

Miriam led nearly 100 people rescued by Murphy to a safer area outside the city, and Murphy asked them to set up a temporary base there and wait for the young players to bring back enough supplies before discussing distribution.

He wanted to send Maxim over to keep order, but Miriam said she would do it alone.

This girl knows that the situation is urgent, and she is studying administration, specializing in the art of management and governance, and thinks this is a good "internship opportunity", and now she has the status of a "Murphy Blood Servant", which is enough to scare these civilians who have been under the rule of vampires for a long time.

As soon as she left with the others, the safe passage by the ruins of the walls was empty, and Murphy and Maxim took over the little player's spawning point, where they were constantly cleaning up the twisted creatures that crawled out of the shadows.

Tris rested beside her, throwing a few psionic spells to clear the field, explaining the origin of these things to the two rookies by the way.

"These are not astral creatures.

They are just foreign objects formed by the gathering of filthy astral energy in the physical world, and attracted by the fear and various emotions of the creatures in this city. It can be said that they represent the invisible dark thoughts in the city, and just by looking at the number of these things, you can see how much evil is buried in Cadman City.

And the number of true astral beasts that exist in this city is much smaller than you think. ”

Tracey closed her eyes and said:

"In countless legends about the Astral Plane, it is not a suitable place to live, so the monsters thrown into the material world have their own unique skills, and they must not be underestimated. The energy of the astral plane will have penetrated deep beneath the surface of the land, and before they are consumed, similar tokens of despair and fear will only continue to appear.

With so many people dying this time, the remaining pain will make it difficult for their souls to rest in peace, and it is estimated that there will be troublesome things like the Wraith's Graveyard and the Ghoul Lair. ”

"But how the hell did this happen?"

Maxim asked Trass in a respectful tone as he slaughtered the despair token in front of him with the Vulture Swordsmanship:

"Lady Trace, why is Cadman City in such a bad fate?"

"Of course it's an enemy attack!"

Tracy glanced at Maxim and then at her little Murphy.

She could feel that Maxim had psionic imprints on his body that belonged to other vampires, indicating that this sturdy blood servant was someone else's property, but he respected little Murphy as if he were serving his elder, so it was not difficult to guess that little Murphy must have other thoughts in it.

Tracey doesn't plan to get involved in this kind of thing, but because of Murphy, she has a good attitude towards Maxim, which will solve the puzzle:

"This level of astral rupture is absolutely impossible to be a natural phenomenon, I have lived for five hundred years, I can tell you unequivocally, the largest astral wave that appeared in the past was just the unlucky village being swallowed up, and an encounter like Cadman City must have had a psychic master calculate the coordinates of this area in the astral realm in advance!

They used some kind of large-scale magic to temporarily break through the isolation of this area from the astral plane, thus triggering this catastrophe.

But..."

Tracey hesitated for a moment, but finally said bluntly:

"There's a traitor in the city!"

"Huh?"

Murphy slashed his sword to kill the despair token in front of him, and then smashed a large area of psionic blast into the street corner in front of him, shattering the astral shadows there.

This precise and lethal attack successfully caused his psionic apprentice class level to jump to 8, and the Blood Vulture Swordsman level has reached 9, which means that his understanding of Blood Vulture swordsmanship is moving beyond "mastery" to "master".

He glanced at his character experience bar, which was also level 9, and was only one step away from being able to activate the Black Iron Trial and leaving the professional rank.

"What do you mean there's a traitor in the city?"

The vampire took a few steps back to give up the "monster farm" to his loyal servant, returned to Tracy's side, and asked in a low voice:

"Did you notice something?"

"Do you still need to be aware?"

Tracey rolled her eyes, took a sip of a small bottle of wine, and said to Murphy:

"To open the astral rift so accurately, it's not enough to rely on super-large techniques, little Murphy, they need a guiding coordinate, that is, when the astral rift is opened, there must be one or more traitors in Cadman City who are guiding the direction of the technique.

What's more, the 'Serenade' psionic barrier created in Cadman City in Bloodvulture Clan 400 didn't open when danger came, which in itself speaks for itself.

The Blood Vulture Clan under the leadership of Salokdar is in shambles! Even if it hadn't been for this attack, it would have been destroyed sooner or later at the hands of these traitors.

Disaster will come, it's just a different way.

But if I had to tell who was behind it, I would tell you that only the Tower of the Ring had the ability to unleash such a mega technique in the human world. And the only ones who can develop spies in a vampire-ruled place are our compatriots in the night, so..."

Tracey reached out and touched Murphy's cheek.

She glanced at the fierce and well-behaved astral wolf behind Murphy and whispered:

"Wolf venom! It must be them, you've been in contact with them, right? Is this wolf bat power the 'spoils' you got? ”

"Well, slaughtered a tricky wolf venom thug."

Murphy did not hide his battle, he told Tracy about the battle with Chopan, who tilted his head and thought about it, and said:

"Descendants of Korando? Clando... I haven't heard of such a number one person in the Wolf Venom Clan, maybe it's a recent rise and it's not worth paying attention to. But my little Murphy is really powerful, and if I can't give you the true power of the Bloodline, you can still defeat a wolf poison warrior who has started the Silver Trial. ”

Tris pinched Murphy's cheek and said with a smile:

"I really underestimated you, but what's the matter with your 'blood servants'? I could feel that they had no real entity in the physical world. So, are they your summons? ”

Tracey didn't surprise Murphy by seeing the truth about the little players at a glance, this is a level 30 psionic master! Although there is no level and no power, the vision is obviously still there.

So Murphy took out the words that had been prepared a long time ago, and he whispered in a nostalgic tone:

"Remember the failed call that nearly killed me and you? It didn't fail, Trace, that ritual gave me some connection to another world during my NDE, and I was endowed with some knowledge.

And after I recovered, I tried to summon the creatures of that world, and that's how my warriors were.

But it's a secret, so..."

"So you need to hide them better!"

Tracey said to Murphy in a serious tone:

"This is your unique secret art, and you can't be figured out by others, you have to give your otherworldly warriors more camouflage, at least not to be seen at a glance."

"I've got an idea about that."

Murphy tells Triss what he got from the eldest lady, only to be scoffed by his own elders.

She tilted the bridge of her delicate and straight nose, and said disdainfully:

"Does that little girl with a little talent know what it means to be psionic? It's ridiculous to be a trickster! Don't deal with those evil things, I have an easier way.

Stealing from the family's underground warehouse in the outer city...

Ah, now I don't have to steal, go and get some Mithril bars out in the open, I still need a set of alchemist tools, which should be available there. ”

Tracey smiled and stretched again, then scraped the bridge of Murphy's nose and said:

"I'll help my little Murphy with this, but you're going to have to distance yourself from Philimis in the future, you know? That little girl... There are some terrible shadows, and I don't want you to be pulled into that maelstrom. ”

Triss said very seriously, and Murphy had a lot of questions, but he didn't call for an inquiry, and took out an arithmetic orb and handed it to Trith, saying:

"You can use it to communicate with my warriors, you can send them some errand quests, they are curious and motivated about the world, and if used well, they will become the best assistants, the fiercest soldiers, and the craziest butchers."

Tracey took the orb.

But she kept staring into Murphy's eyes, and it was not until Murphy felt a little uncomfortable that she withdrew her gaze, sighed, and said:

"You've changed, little Murphy, maybe it's this journey of life and death that has made you discover more hidden thoughts, I don't know if it's a good thing, vampires like us live in the dark, we can easily fall into the dark night, I've seen too many things like this in my life.

Even myself..."

She touched the horrible wound on her neck, representing her concern about these changes in Murphy.

"But you're going to hold me, aren't you?"

Murphy shook Tracey's cold hand, and he joked:

"You're going to hold me until I'm going to do something terrible, you're going to never give up on me, right? You are my superior, and it is your responsibility to guide my future. ”

"Okay, I will."

This rhetorical question made Tracey stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile, and she quipped:

"After all, I owe you my life, little Murphy, and I have to take good care of you until this favor is over. Your warriors are back, and they seem to have brought back something very interesting. ”

Murphy immediately stood up and looked back at the end of the safe passage.

Rushing all the way back, the precipitated cow cow dragged a cart from nowhere, with messy supplies piled on it, and two unconscious guys lying on it.

"It's Miss! Mistress Murphy, we found her and her butler at the edge of the Astral Rift. ”

Niu Niu reported loudly:

"Pigeon Bo has also found a basement full of people on the other side of the street, and we are trying to get them out, but the black snow in the city is getting heavier and heavier, and the invisible monsters are getting more and more manic."

"Stay safe, don't go too far into the city just yet."

Murphy admonished, and only after Niu Niu had left did he lean down to look at the eldest lady and Lady Adele on the cart.

The two guys were covered in scaly wounds that seemed to have been bitten by some dangerous beast, which was not fatal for vampires, but they still fell into a prolonged coma.

Murphy reached out and patted the eldest lady on the cheek with his fingers wrapped in psionic energy, but he still couldn't wake her up.

"They've inhaled too much rampaging astral psionic energy."

Triss crossed her shoulders and glanced at it, and said to Murphy:

"The primordial and filthy psionic energy that is unfiltered by the physical world disturbs their minds and traps their spirits in the nightmares of the astral plane... Wait a minute!

This filthy half-elf is your heir?

Why choose her? ”

Tracey looked at the unconscious Lady Adele very unpleasantly, she glanced up and down a few times, and said in a cold tone:

"It's disloyal to be your heir to hurt yourself like this in order to save another vampire, Murphy, you need to train her properly.

Teach her what the traditional virtues of a vampire are, and teach her who she knows is her master.

Wild dogs that run around in the foreign country and don't know who their owner is, they need to be knocked on the head! ”

"Adele's matter is complicated, Trace, it's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two."

Tracey's sudden meanness made Murphy feel that this matter had something to do with him, but he decisively chose to play stupid, and briefly talked about the relationship between Lady Adele and the eldest lady, and after hearing that the disloyal bloodline in front of him had saved Murphy under the claws of the wolf venom warrior, Tracey's expression softened a little.

She stepped forward to check on the two guys, shook her head and said:

"You need enough mental stimulation to wake up, you go and get busy with yours, I'll deal with the two of them, besides, your blood vulture swordsmanship has already entered the hall, and there is no need to waste too much time on this basic swordsmanship.

There should be advanced swordsmanship and other useful things in the family No. 3 warehouse, I have marked the location on the map, you can take Maxim to find it.

By the way, bring some Mithril bars back.

Go ahead!

Don't worry about me, I'm weak, but just the despair token can't hurt me. ”

"Hmm."

Murphy nodded, gesturing to Maxim, and the two of them followed Tris's logo on the map and headed down the ruins to the Blood Vulture Clan's hidden underground vault.

After the two left, Trith's expression suddenly turned cold.

She stared at the unconscious Miss Phimes in front of her, and the nails of her left hand continued to stretch into a sharp weapon carved with scarlet lines like claws in the scarlet entanglement, and then stuck on Femis's neck.

Maybe just a little grabbing...

"Seed of Sarlokdal, you root of all evil!"

Tracey whispered in disgust:

"Stay away from my little Murphy! Ominous guy. ”

"Smack"

Instead of plunging her claws into Phimes's neck, Tracey gave her and Lady Adele a few psionic battles.

Although the absolute power was already very weak, the subtle manipulation of psionic energy allowed Tracy to exert a short but absolutely stimulating mental concussion on the two ladies, causing them both to wake up after a few seconds, clutching their chests and snorting.

The blood was mixed with the constantly beating black smoke like a bug, and it was constantly twisting in the blood stain with strange shapes, looking weird and crazy.

"Let's talk about it."

With a cold face, Tracey crossed her arms and said to the weak and embarrassed eldest lady:

"What the hell is going on in the inner city?"

Before the eldest lady could speak, Lady Adele got up first and tried to help the eldest lady up, but was glared at by Tracey.

As Murphy's elde, although she can't manipulate the bloodline of her own bloodline beyond Murphy, her lineage and upward lineage still gives her a strong suppression of Lady Adele.

"Get out of the way! Get rid of those despair tokens. ”

Tracey coldly scolded:

"I'll talk to you about the 'integrity' of being a Bloodline in a moment, impudent fellow!"

Lady Adele didn't know why she couldn't resist in front of this frail vampire, but she knew that it wouldn't help the eldest lady to stay any longer.

Tracey could only twist her waist to pick up the weapon on the ground under Trace's stern and critical gaze, and walk silently to the side of the passage.

And the eldest lady, who seemed to have been strongly stimulated, finally came back to her senses, she looked at Tris, the famous "family waste", there would not be much intersection between the two of them in the past, but at this moment, she showed a weak and desperate expression in front of Trisi.

She said in a sad voice:

"The dimensional meteorite smashed through the Blood Vulture Castle, black filthy fire was everywhere, although I couldn't go deep into the Blood Vulture Corridor, I could feel that our holy pool had been polluted, no new clan would be born, and the family elite would be lost here...

They have been invaded and corroded by the forces of the astral plane, and have become monsters... Blood Vulture...

The Blood Vulture is finished. ”

"Hush."

Tracey scoffed at this, and she played with her black hair, and said coldly:

"Wouldn't that be better?

But I don't want to talk about that right now, little girl, let's talk about the stuff in you... You've already guessed a little bit of the truth, and you just ventured into the Blood Vulture Corridor to find out, right?

But are you sure you're ready to face the truth? ”
