"My lord, I think the rumors seem to be a little biased..."

In the ruins of a city shrouded in the shadows of the astral plane, Murphy and Maxim hurried across the dead streets to the family warehouse in the outer city.

As he marched, Maxim, holding a spear, looked around vigilantly to guard against an attack and whispered to Murphy:

"Lady Tracey doesn't seem to be as rumored to be... I mean, she's strong! Stronger than Lord Jed, she seems to have regained her former majesty as an elder after being rescued from the city by you. ”

"I don't know what's going on, but one thing is for sure, Tracey absolutely doesn't like the city."

Murphy sighed and said:

"She saw it as a bondage, and to put it mildly, after seeing Cadman City devastated so far, Tracey and I were probably the only two Blood Vulture members who would feel relaxed.

Do you feel uncomfortable because of this? ”

"No, my lord, I am loyal to you, not to the Blood Vulture Clan."

Maxim replied in a low voice:

"Actually, I don't feel much joy when I serve the Blood Vulture Clan, I have to repay the kindness of Lord Jed, but other than that, this family doesn't seem to give me anything more to miss."

"I'm actually the same, no wonder we're so connected."

Murphy replied.

The two then fell silent and said no more, and after walking quickly through an alley occupied by a colony of astral salamanders that did not actively attack, the two reached the location of the family warehouse marked by Tracey.

It's underground.

The surface is covered up as the human fire station of Cadman City.

There are three more similar underground warehouses in the outer city, but with the exception of this one, the other basements are located in densely populated areas, which are definitely overrun by dread tokens in the shadows of the astral plane and preying astral beasts.

Murphy plans to use the remaining three warehouses as "challenge locations" for the younger players.

Tonight, five dead players will be resurrected, giving him 16 manpower, divided into three groups just enough for a simple "quest test".

"Looks like we're going to have to recruit another batch."

As Maxim searched the devastated fire station for access to the underpass, Murphy looked at the dim and gloomy environment beyond the collapsed walls and the strange sky above him that was still swirling with a purple glow, and he thought:

"At present, I have a total of 40 manpower on hand, and I don't have to stay any longer, and I will release it all at once.

After Cadman City was dragged into the Star Plane, there are also many areas worth exploring in this remaining ruin, and there are simply not enough people to explore, and there is also a new guide mission for the sixth ring.

This task requires me to take my own territory.

I thought I could go to the relationship of the eldest lady, but now it seems that there is a better and more difficult choice...

The Blood Vulture Clan is hopeless!

Although there is only a ruin left here, there are people and supplies, and there are 'monster farms' that can last for a long time. This is probably the best 'beginner village' I'll find in Transnesia!

But how it works is still a matter of careful planning. ”

Murphy pondered his next steps and logged on to the forum.

In the application area, he saw a lot of test applications, but most of them came from the "word of mouth" of the existing young players.

"Real Otherworld" did not advertise in the player's world at all, and Murphy did not plan to do so, he simply browsed the nearly 80 test applications he currently has, and selected the 24 people with the best overall quality from these people's test application results, and then sent them the test invitation code.

In this way, after 12 hours at the latest, a new group of cute little players will enter the ruins of Cadman City to act as the "foot man wasteland group" that falls from the sky at a critical moment.

Oh yes!

To make it all look more like a game that is gradually starting to officially beta, Murphy felt the need to post a more formal announcement post on the forums.

When you finish the underground warehouse in front of you, you will send it!

"Master Murphy! The entrance has been found, but requires the blood of a member of the Vulture Clan as a beacon to enter. ”

Maxim's voice rang from the ruined archives, and Murphy rushed over to bite his finger behind the file cabinet that had been pushed open, and spotted blood in the center of the dark red spell on the wall.

With a clattering sound and a glimmer of light, the passage to the underground opened.

He and his faithful servants entered one after the other.

This is not a real family treasure house, and no matter how downtrod the blood vulture, one of the seven major clans of vampires, its family treasure house cannot be so shabby.

It was only used to store important but not scarce goods, so there were no structures like gargoyles or psionic guardians that would be used as "professional security" on the mainland.

The area below is not large, and the whole is about the same as the fire station above.

It is divided into different rooms to store different materials, mostly raw materials for crafting weapons and armor, and some finished products that are placed in cabinets.

Murphy casually opened a cabinet and pulled out a vampire stabbing sword embellished with a Blood Rose pattern and examined it in his hand.

Item identification is initiated, and the information label pops up:

Name: Guardian Blade

Quality: Seiko Recruit

Traits: Enhanced Sharpness, Enhanced Piercing, Tough and Durable, Sinister Blood Tank (Quenchable)

Prerequisites: Talent: One-handed weapon mastery, dexterity≥6

Item Description:

[An elite weapon made by the Forge of the Blood Vulture Clan for the new recruits of the family, sharp and deadly, and very suitable for the Blood Servant soldiers who have mastered the Blood Vulture Sword Technique and Advanced Sword Technique.] The weapon has been ranked number one on the list of complaints from the Cadman City Finger Protection Society for many years, as it does require a little skill to use. 】

Murphy pulled out another Bloodline-style one-handed hunting crossbow and looked at it in his hand.

It was a Seiko recruit weapon, which made him nod in satisfaction.

These weapons are crafted with attachment characteristics, and both the craftsmanship and materials are obviously much better than the tabula rasa weapons that players are currently using.

It just happens to be given to them as a quest reward or a new gameplay reward.

Maxim found a whole box of elite recruit armor in another house that had not yet been painted, which made Murphy even more satisfied, since the Blood Vulture Clan was already yesterday's yellow flower, then these things could be painted by themselves to draw a line with the past.

He tossed Maxim four psionic packs for him to pack them in, and continued to explore the depths himself.

The Elder Armor that Triss gave him was a Seiko Commander-level high-grade psionic armor, which meant that Murphy would have been difficult to find better equipment than the "Lady Trisy Original Elder Armor" for a long time, so his next goal was to find usable equipment for Maxim, Miriam, and Lady Adele.

The three of them are now the "three generals" under Murphy, and they must be well armed.

Tracey also said that there might be an advanced skill codex in the vault for the family's elite to learn, which was also an important target for Murphy.

The Blood Vulture Sword Technique is only the most basic skill, and it is impossible for him to rely on this thing to lead the young players to continue to fight, but fortunately, there is no special hidden room in this basement, so Murphy quickly found the library of books, and there were several ancient books on a shelf.

He took it down and flipped through it in his hand:

"Grave Sword Guard Drill Codex", "Blood Torturer's Codex", "Nightcrawler's Secret Codex, Volume 1", "Midnight Hunt Explained"

The books in his hand, which were obviously transcriptions, represented the professional system that the Blood Vulture Clan had over its long history.

Murphy could tell that they represented the career paths of a swordsman, psychicman, assassin, and hunter, though in the real world there was no such clear and strict division of professions.

With enough energy, a swordsman can also hone psionic skills.

However, these books for "job transfer" are very important for young players, and Murphy is well aware of how enthusiastic those "strength parties" are in studying the game profession and playing style.

You may be able to translate some of them and put them on the forum to satisfy the cravings of those "spectator players" who have passed the test application but can't get the invitation code for the time being.

Wait a minute!

Why translate it yourself?

Murphy blinked.

The little players are so energetic, and now that they have the Calculation Orb, they can do it themselves.

It not only deepens the stickiness of the game, but also saves them from having time to find work for themselves.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?

"Hey, hey"

Murphy laughed out loud in the dark basement before placing the precious skill book into his psionic bag, holding the Tomb Sword Guard Drill Book as he continued to scavenge for valuables.

After a few minutes, a new prompt pops up:

[New Skills, Advanced Swordsmanship, Tomb Sword Guard Swordsmanship has been obtained!]

Prompt!

This sword is a physical/dark psionic skill, and learning this sword requires a certain psionic talent (Mind ≥ 5).

This swordsmanship is the advanced skill of the Blood Vulture Swordsmanship, and the prerequisite for learning this swordsmanship is the Mastery Level Blood Vulture Swordsmanship.

This swordplay is currently capped at "Skillful".

After reaching "Proficiency" in the Sword Proficiency of the Tomb Sword Guard and crafting the "Tomb Badge", you can transfer to the "Tomb Sword Guard" class of the "Blood Vulture Swordsman" and unlock a new skill proficiency cap. 】

"There it is!"

Murphy let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that the Crypt Sword Guards were the "unique unit" of the Vulture Clan, with the ability to combine offense and defense, and the ability to receive the blessing of dark psionic energy, making them very versatile all-rounders.

Of course, being an all-rounder means being mediocre, but it's all a compound exclusive class of physics + magic, so what more do you need a bike.

And the tomb sword guard is also very special in status.

They are the elite of the Blood Vulture family, and Master Jade before him was supposed to be an excellent Tomb Swordsman.

The other vampire clans also have their own unique units, which basically encompass all the power routes on the continent, but they don't communicate with each other.

This is the peculiarity of their eternal sin seed.

Together, they are a powerful force, but they have been working separately for a thousand years, and from time to time they have found something to do with each other, and the whole race seems to be so neurotic that it has really been cursed by some dirty thing.

"My lord! I found something awesome! ”

Maxim's excited shouts came from behind Murphy.

When he arrived, he found his loyal servant spotting the hidden compartment from behind an empty cabinet and breaking through the wall and dragging two dusty crates out of it.

"It's all learned from your warriors, and I've observed that they always find strange things in these strange places."

Maxim stood beside him and whispered in an odd tone:

"I've probably had too much contact with them, and I've been infected with this strange habit."

"That's a good thing, Mark, looting is a necessary skill to be a strong man."

Murphy laughed.

Together with Maxim, he opened the box and found that it contained a complete set of vampire-style weapons, long and short, as many as thirty or so pieces.

From the common sword and shield to the rare fist blade and flail.

You can tell by the appearance that they are sets, and by the glimmer of light that comes with them in the dark, these are rare psionic weapons.

The vampire pulled out a sheathed longsword and pulled it away in his hand, the snowy blade flashed a cold green light in the darkness, and its item tag appeared in front of Murphy's eyes:

Name: Ambition & Dreams: Warehouse Guardian Mick's battle sword

Quality: Seiko [Elite] Veteran

Traits: Extreme Sharpness, Enhanced Piercing, Enhanced Psionic Perception, Permanent Quenching

Maker: Ségur, the Bloodvulture Weapon Master

Item Description:

[Mick, the warehouse guard, is an aspiring vampire fringe man with mediocre talents, but he still wants to make a name for himself in the family, so he uses his professional advantage to secretly hide a set of psionic weapons for himself that should be supplied to the captains of the family guard.

Mick intends to use his collection to give himself a chance to get ahead!

He had been preparing for this until one day when he was sent out to scout on the outskirts of the Dark Mountains, carrying all the supplies he could bring, only to be too excited to forget the weapons he had hidden.

Oh yes.

This happened 110 years ago. 】

Prompt!

The [Elite] tag is a special item tag, which will only appear on weapons and armor that have a certain origin and are far superior in quality to items of the same level, but do not reach the superior quality.

Such objects often have special "collectible value".

Similar special labels include [Shadow Hit/High-end Imitation], [Real Hit/Only], [Flashy], [Artwork] and so on.

"Uh... What a sad story, a moment of silence for Mr. Mick, who has great ambitions. ”

Murphy complained fiercely in his heart.

The quality of this thing was still not as good as Tris's Seiko Commander-level Desire Clan Blade, so he shook his head and threw the poison quenching sword in his hand to Maxim, took a scarlet poison hunter crossbow from the weapon case and hung it around his waist, got up and said:

"These things are yours, I don't need them.

Take it out and give it to Adele a few pieces, and keep the rest as your own collection. Plus, I'll teach you a trick to get on good terms with my warriors. ”

"My lord, I remember."

Maxim happily packed the two weapon crates into his psionic bag, it is always the nature of warriors to love good weapons, so he listened carefully to Murphy's advice and walked out of the basement.

Murphy seduced him step by step:

"When you become a vampire, you should have your own vassals, right? From now on, you can choose what you think are the most talented members from among my warriors, and then test their strength and skill growth.

Well, once every three days or once a week, wait for them to invite you to start a discussion.

If their progress is as you see it, then give them these excellent weapons as a reward and proof of future vassal contracts.

That way, you'll be able to reap the potential vassals, and I'll be able to see my warriors progress faster.

But there's a point!

Mark, you can't put water, you know?

Since it's a test, you have to give it your all, you know they won't really die, so let it go, if they understand the risk and are willing to accept the challenge, even if they miss and die, they are weak.

Trust me, my warriors love the feeling of being up against a strong opponent.

The stronger you are! The more they like you.

Now, you can take this "Shadow Elf Family Secret Swordsmanship" to read.

I just copied it last night, and in order to deepen your memory, I will copy another thirty copies by the way.

If a warrior can win three times in a row in your hand, you might as well teach him this unique alien sword technique, but be sure to keep an eye on your safety.

Wear the best armor!

Stop when you're about to lose, I don't want to lose my best assistants and friends for some outrageous reasons, and don't underestimate my warriors, who will always want to get a win from you with all kinds of crooked ideas.

It's also fun to battle their wits with them, at least I think so. ”

"Sounds like a harsh selection, my lord."

Maxim nodded in agreement, he stroked the long sword called "Ambition and Dream" on his waist, and said eagerly:

"If this is your will, then I would like to be your opponent of the warriors!"

Murphy, walking in the dark, grinned.

Hey, isn't this another feature of gameplay? Want the best gear you can get at this stage? Warriors, then challenge my "No. 1 Strongest"!

It doesn't matter if you can't beat it, there will be more and more similar ways to play in the future, and there is always one that can satisfy you all.
