(Additional update for Brother 'Frostfang' [3/5])

Murphy can only sigh that his little players can always change the way to make a new life for themselves.

Just now, he received a report from Maxim's soldiers that a group of vampire "beggars" who had crawled out of the Great Rift had been discovered by Lumina and Sister Pomegranate, and had now been brought under control.

Murphy and Tracy immediately rushed to the place where the vampires were housed.

On the way, Tracey vigorously "self-examined":

"I'm just talking, to stimulate Fimis, but I didn't expect it to come true. This is not right, the concentration of spiritual energy in the inner city of the astral boundary, even if they are not involved in the astral boundary, it is impossible for them to last for so long for seven days!

That's not right, Murphy. ”

Murphy also looked helpless.

Although he knew that the sudden appearance of those embarrassed vampire beggars at this time was certainly not because of Tracey's crow's mouth, he also took this opportunity to say to Tracey:

"You also know that you have the crow's mouth trait, so don't talk about this kind of thing, maybe your mouth is too poisonous for a passing god to look at, so you prepared such a surprise for us."

"Hey, what god cares about vampires? Do you really think that our identity as eternal sinful sons is a joke? The gods of the astral plane have avoided us. ”

Tris rolled her eyes, seeing Maxim waiting ahead, she didn't say anything more and just followed Murphy, and the loyal servant in front of her had a very strange expression.

When he saw Murphy coming, he immediately stepped forward and whispered:

"Those who escaped were several of the patriarch's guards and their minions, led by Lord Jed."

"Huh? Is it such a coincidence? ”

Murphy was also stunned for a moment.

As far as he knew, there were about 1,500 of the Sarokdal Chief's guards, which was the elite of the tribe, and Jade was only one of the 30 captains, and he was able to escape alive in this situation.

This probability is indeed too low.

He also noticed Maxim's strange expression, and knew what his servant was worried about, and he reached out and patted Mark's shoulder, and whispered:

"I'll make it clear to him, don't worry."

"Hmm."

Maxim nodded, and watched Murphy enter the house behind him, while Trace, who was watching all this coldly, took a sip of wine, and suddenly said to Maxim:

"Are you ready?"

This question made Maxim look back in confusion, and then he heard Triss say:

"What if that Jade doesn't agree to Ling's departure? What if he wasn't going to give my little Murphy this face? ”

"Me"

The loyal servant clenched his fists.

He struggled in his heart, and then he saw Triss smile and say to him:

"You see, the Blood Vulture Clan has existed in name only in this situation, and has been half-buried in the grave with those rules that smell of decay.

My little Murphy has a big business to do, and you, as his servant, have to be flexible.

You can't always ask others to give you what you want, right?

You're a Translanse native and you know what to do in times like this. ”

Tracey's words are there.

But Maxim understood what Lady Triss meant, and he nodded, stepped aside and pulled up his hood, so that his expression and thoughts were hidden from anyone under his visor.

And at this time in the house, the eldest lady who rushed over after receiving the news had already checked the bodies of the seven patriarchs and guards in front of her, seven men and women, but they were really all miserable.

Their armor was tattered and heavily corroded by energy, and their bodies were emaciated to the point of being almost skinny and boneless, and at first glance it was not the result of normal consumption, as if they had been drained of their vitality by something.

All of them have haggard faces, yellow hair, sunken eye sockets, and dirty and rancid smell all over their bodies.

Lumina and Sister Pomegranate's report is not problematic at all, it is a group of vampire beggars who have been tormenting the inner city for seven days before they escape.

A dozen or so of their minions are also a hanging, but it is worth noting that there are no human blood servants among these minions, but they have all been completed and become vampires.

Obviously, it is impossible for ordinary humans to survive in such a harsh environment as the inner city.

"How's it going?"

Murphy asked.

The eldest lady shook her head, and while wiping the stains on her fingers with a handkerchief, she whispered:

"It's all bad, they've been drained from blood for a long time, and they're so tired that they're even depleted of their own blood essence.

There are also a few people's hearts that have been seriously eroded by the filth of the astral realm, and they have already developed dementia and madness.

This is irreversible mental damage!

Even if they can recover later, they will have to maintain this half-crazy appearance until eternal silence comes.

Tracey's previous vicious words were right.

Tonight's change in the psionic vortex of the astral rift was their only chance to escape, and they did seize this opportunity to escape from the inner city. ”

"Did you really escape from the inner city? I don't think it's that simple. ”

Murphy was skeptical.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the miserable seven patriarch guards in front of him, and whispered:

"You and Triss have both established that even the high-ranking vampires can't survive the Inner City, so I suspect they must have been hiding in an area where they could temporarily resist the contamination of the astral psionic energy.

I've never been there, but I know that the Vulture Corridor is in the heart of the inner city, and that there is a vast underground area beneath the castle-like buildings on the ground.

The family's pool of holy blood is also deep in the cloister, right?

Miss, there seems to be an answer to the question you've been worrying about. The Blood Vulture Clan doesn't seem to be dead, at least not as miserable as you think, and there may be other living clansmen in the cloister.

Even your father. ”

"No, the clan is over! I'm sure of that. ”

Philimis sighed.

As if she didn't want to discuss the matter with Murphy at this time, she left a few bottles of alchemy potion and turned around and left the house, but Adele did not leave with the eldest lady this time, but stayed at the door.

Clearly, Murphy's heir was worried about the Elder's life.

Although the seven patriarch guards here are all weak, their strength is all at the silver level, no matter how weak they are, they are the absolute elite of the family, and being eroded by the astral spiritual energy makes them even more dangerous.

Murphy came to Master Jade's side.

He looked at Jade lying on the plank in front of him, the patriarch's guard no longer had the same powerful and graceful posture he had when he had given orders to Murphy.

Not to mention the tattered and blood-stained armor on his body, his demeanor alone was no longer normal, and now it was as if he had aged hundreds of years all at once.

Ben's handsome forehead also showed severe wrinkles, and even his black hair had turned gray.

It looks rather bleak.

Murphy stretched out his hand to twist away the potion left by the eldest lady and poured it into his mouth for Jade, and just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a weak foley sound ringing in his ears:

"Let your heir go first, I have something to say to you, Murphy."

"Huh?"

Murphy blinked.

It's Jed's voice, this guy is awake?

Or was he pretending to be asleep all the time?

But why?

"Adele, you go and see how Tracey is doing."

Murphy turned to his heir and admonished:

"By the way, take a few laps around the Great Rift and see if there are any more compatriots who have broken through, don't worry about me, I'm safe among my own people."

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Adele turned to leave, and the ashes-strewn door shut.

As darkness plunged into the room, Murphy's frail figure lying on the plank immediately got up and sat up.

Jed's eyes opened to see the exhaustion and joy in them, and he reached out with a trembling hand to unleash a psionic spell that Murphy could feel an invisible force sweep across the room, enveloping all the sounds in it.

"There's no one left."

Jade gasped and said to Murphy in the dark:

"We're the last of the Blood Vulture members to escape! I must tell you that something terrible happened in the cloisters, before the Astral Rift opened, and I didn't even dare to say it out loud.

What happened in the dark night of Cadman City was not just a calyptic disaster in the astral plane, far more than just natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.

But the Mother of the Night is watching over me!

Midnight's blessing led me to meet the old man, little Murphy. ”

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

"I'm not unconscious. Having been observing my surroundings in my own way before being sent here by my servant Maxim, I see the survivors who obey you, the delicious humans! Not only did you come back alive, but you've gathered a decent force from above the ruins.

Looks like everyone is underestimating you, Murphy.

Everyone also underestimated Tracey.

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

"Looks like my disguise wasn't good enough for you to find out, Master Jed."

Murphy replied with a grue:

"I have always remembered your kindness, and without your help in the beginning, I would never have survived that mission, and I am grateful to the Mother of the Night for allowing me to see you again after this catastrophe.

Do you need blood?

I'll send some right away. ”

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

This would undermine the image of the Great Bloodline in their foolish minds.

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

But pay attention!

Million!

Don't be discovered by that little slut of Femis. ”

Jed's throat moved up and down, visibly craving blood but reminding Murphy that something was wrong.

He frowned and asked:

"Why do you want to hide it from the eldest lady?"

"Because it was her father who caused all this, and the once wise and powerful Salokdal has degenerated into a madman, a sinner of the family and a monster of the race!"

Jade whispered with a strong disgust and a hint of unconcealable fear:

"It was he who stirred up terror in the cloister, and the madman who buried the clan with his own hands is no longer worthy to be our patriarch. As for Fimis, hehe, you don't know yet, do you? When the city was swallowed up by the astral plane, she foolishly rushed into the cloister of the Blood Vulture, which was being closed, but escaped again as the heir to the family.

We prayed for her to take us away.

But she cruelly left us behind, and treated us as sacrifices for her father's ugly deeds!

I guess she didn't tell you that.

Obviously, she's hiding a lot from you, and that proves she's just taking advantage of you.

Murphy, listen to me!

I have a plan I need your help with. Looks like you've earned the trust of that little poisonous woman of Femis, and that's good! This means that the Mother of Midnight is looking after you and me. ”

He took out a small crystal bottle from his psionic bag and handed it to Murphy, and in the darkness he whispered:

"Feed it to that little slut, it only takes a few drops. You've reached the tipping point of the Black Iron Rank, and I can feel that you need a prey to complete your power promotion.

I'll help you, Murphy.

Phimes is the perfect prey.

After you execute her with your own hands, Salokdal's bloodline will be severed, and you and I will have true power. ”

"Real power?"

Murphy took the small crystal bottle without hesitation, but he was obviously eager to hear more, and Jade was very generous in his need of Murphy's potency, and he said with an inexplicable excitement:

"Yes, real power!"

As Jade's fingers danced in the darkness, something appeared on the tips of his fingers.

It was like an irregular slate glowing crimson in the darkness, and Murphy was immediately drawn to it, as if a voice in his consciousness was calling him to touch it.

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

"Hehe, don't be afraid, touch it, touch the treasure that we only got back after nine deaths, one-third of the Grand Duke's certificate!"

Jade chuckled under his breath:

"With your position in the family, you would never have seen it in your lifetime during the days when Salokdal was in power, but times have changed now, Murphy.

Listen to me, whoever holds this thing will be the next Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture! Even the most demanding Blood Pact knights could not deny this transfer of power.

However, the premise of everything is that Phimes must die!

Salokdal's bloodline must be snuffed out, and the civilians under your command will be the first members of the new Bloodvulture Clan led by me! Yes, even though the Blood Pool has been contaminated, we can still rebuild our family with a large number of primitives.

You see, I'm so honest with you, but Phimes never tells you what she really wants and plans.

As I said, that little slut is just cheating on you.

She is just as cunning and cold as her father.

But I'm different, and I'm going to share it with you generously. We've all climbed up from the bottom, Murphy, and we understand how sweet that ambition to get ahead is.

We are born to stand together. ”

Murphy didn't answer, and didn't heed Jed's somewhat neurotic persuasion and temptation.

He seriously suspected that this guy might have been eroded by the astral psionic energy, or maybe he was really desperate and needed Murphy to be on his side at this time?

Whatever the truth is, it means that Murphy can in turn take advantage of Jade who needs him.

His attention was focused on the scarlet slab in Jade's hand, and at the touch of his finger, the information label popped up:

Name: Civilization Slate: Vampire [1/7] • [Desire] Fragment

Get it!

Alpha!

Get it and you'll get a ticket to the world's deepest vicissitudes. 】

"What a magnificent and great thing! I can't imagine how much sacrifice you and your companions have to sacrifice to get it."

Murphy withdrew his fingers and took a deep breath.

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

"Allow me, then, to introduce myself as your sword in the dark, my esteemed Jed. Grand duke. ”
