(Additional update for Brother 'Frostfang' [4/5])

Murphy left the house.

He took the bottle of "Daylight Elixir" that Jade had given him specifically to inflict a weakened state on vampires, and swore to join Jed's struggle for the final power of the Vulture Clan.

However, Jade doesn't really trust him, and Murphy can sense that the guy is just using him as a trick and using his future power to trick him into betraying his current friend.

This is quite normal.

Especially in traditional vampire societies, it is absolutely impossible to get one vampire to trust another vampire completely.

It wasn't blood that flowed in their veins, it was a highly toxic thing that was formed by a proportional mixture of conspiracy and malice, and fermentation in the night.

If you touch it, you will die, and you will see blood seal your throat.

Dozens of minutes after Murphy left, the door to the house was pushed open again.

This time it was Maxim who walked in.

The latter covered his eyes and face with a hood and held a bottle and seven goblets.

It's not easy to find these flashy things in Cadman City right now, but luckily Master Murphy's warriors are talented enough at looting, and Miriam has a lot of supplies in stock.

"My lord, let's have a drink."

Maxim poured the crimson liquid from the bottle into the cup and handed it to Jed, and the weak vampire moved his throat, unable to maintain the hypocritical etiquette any longer.

At this moment, like a vulgar and greedy man, he raised his head and drank the blood like fine wine.

"Hmm"

The blood entered the mouth, turning into real power and merging into the thirsty body, causing Jade to let out a long moan, just like drinking jade liquid elixir to make the aging and wrinkles on his face visibly smooth.

It's just that the gray hair can never return to its original blackness.

Blood Essence Damage is not an injury that can be recovered for a vampire in a moment, just like men who are unfortunate enough to suffer from kidney deficiency.

Urgency can't solve the problem!

This kind of thing that hurts the origin has always been slowly recuperated.

"You didn't tell Murphy that I had woken up, and it seems that you are still loyal, Maxim."

Jade whispered.

His voice was no longer as dry as before, and seemed to take on the viciousness and gloom that a vampire should have, and Maxim, with his head down, did not answer, but poured him another cup of sweet blood from the virgins in the camp like a servant, and handed it to Jade again.

"He trusts you."

Jade wasn't as rude as he had just been this time.

He seemed to have regained the proper manners of a midnight nobleman, gently shaking the sweet object in his hands, and his eyes observing Maxim's expression through the waves of blood.

He said:

"He also told me about you, hoping that I could give you to him, and he really thinks about you.

And me

I also suddenly realized that I had lost my eyes.

Just as I failed to discover Murphy's hidden talents, I failed to discover that there is a good individual like you among my minions. So, Maxim, are you willing to follow Murphy? ”

"I am your servant."

Maxim said in a deep voice:

"I owe you a life, a favor that cannot be forgotten, and I must repay it with this life!"

"Not bad!"

This answer made Jade very satisfied.

Maxim does not hide his admiration for Murphy and his willingness to follow him, but he also expresses his thoughts honestly, and the well-known vampire knows that this kind of entanglement is the norm for fragile creatures like man.

The more determined or loyal Maxim is, the more suspicious he feels.

"Well, then, I need you to do one last thing for me, in the name of a servant, this is some ritual that must be performed in order to be free."

Jade took a small sip of blood, and with a flick of his fingers, a familiar vial of daylight potion fell into Maxim's hand.

He said:

"Murphy is a great junior, and I guess he agreed to work with me just to keep me steady, and he was expecting to get an offer from both sides and then sell at a price.

If it were me, I would do the same.

But now that the conditions don't allow it, I have to 'help' him make up his mind. You go and put the medicine in Miss Trissy's drink, and hide her.

Don't hurt her until it's over.

I don't need you to be involved in this, Maxim.

I just need Murphy to feel a little bit of pressure, and after my collaboration with him is done, you'll get what you want, we, we can all get what we want. ”

Maxim nodded.

As if he couldn't understand it, he finally asked:

"Your Excellency, you obviously have the advantage, Fiemis is just a lonely person, and she is only the strength of the Black Iron Rank, any of your companions can deal with her.

Why do you have to do it?"

"That's not for you to know, Maxim, you're not one of us, and the secrets of the night are not for humans to pnoop on!"

Jade glanced at the servant with a nonchalant attitude.

The latter immediately bent down and withdrew, and before leaving, Maxim said to him:

"I'm already picking out the 'food' for you to suit your taste, and I'll bring it to you early tomorrow morning, so please bear with me for the time being."

"Hmm."

Jade watched Maxim leave, and after the room was quiet again, he dragged his heavy body to his feet, picked up the vial of blood that Maxim had sent, and selected among the dozen or so heirs lying on the ground behind him, and finally poured the blood on a tall heir.

The latter soon awoke from the nourishment of his blood, and then heard Jade whisper in the darkness:

"Arthur, my best offspring, go! Look at Maxim, I remember that you know him well, and if he does what I have commanded, you will take over the care of Madame Triss and let him return to me.

But if he did something he shouldn't have done

Finish him off! ”

——

Maxim walks on the ashes of Cadman City.

He was annoyed that he was still too upright to ask where Jade's concerns about Miss Philimis were coming from.

He didn't believe that Jade had let Master Murphy execute the eldest lady was harmless in itself, and that cunning old thing must have wanted to make Master Murphy bear terrible guilt for it.

There may be other, more dangerous factors.

He had to find a way to get more benefits for Lord Murphy in this unexpected incident.

Unfortunately, his brain is really not suitable for these thoughts, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, he felt that his brain was about to explode, and at this moment, Maxim suddenly stopped and looked left and right.

He heard a very contrived chirping, and then spotted that in the dark alley ahead, Mistress Murphy's warrior, Miss Mark, was there gesturing to him to pass.

After confirming that he was not being followed, he stepped forward quickly.

"Jade asked me to poison Lady Tracy!"

He whispered to the impotence:

"Tell the news to Master Murphy immediately, Jade is going to use Lady Tracey to force him to comply, and Lady Tracey must be transferred immediately."

"You're exposing yourself by doing that!"

How clever Lumina was, and her little head turned to understand, and she whispered:

"I'm here to convey Mistress Murphy's instructions, and he says that he trusts all your judgments, and that you are free to move freely until the matter is over, and that you should not contact him so as not to put you in danger.

He also said that you don't have to worry about Jed's business, as long as you protect Lady Trissy.

This is an opportunity to get you out. ”

Lumina admired the loyal Bloodservant warrior in front of her, and she said to Maxim:

"You should take advantage of the situation to take Mistress Murphy's weakness out of the maelstrom of this family conspiracy, and don't let her fall into the hands of Jed, who doesn't look like a good guy at first glance."

"That's not enough."

Maxim shook his head and said:

"The pressure on Lord Murphy is too great, Jade and his accomplices are strong, I have to know, maybe the humble ones are more suitable.

Ah, dull me, I finally understand what it means that adults often say that you must learn to use your true power. ”

He looked at Lumina Imprint in front of him, then handed over the bottle of Daylight Elixir that Jade had given him, and whispered:

"Go to the survivor camp!

Dilute this into the 'food' for the vampires, but not too early and not too late, they're wary. Gather the rest of the warriors, and there are 40 of you! You're brave enough not to die, and you should barely be able to wreak havoc on those who are already weak under an ambush.

Master Murphy's great deeds cannot be stopped!

Whether it's a witch hunter or a vampire, kill them if you dare to get in your way! ”

A fierce gleam flashed in Maxim's bloodshot eyes, and he said to Lumina in front of him:

"Go to my soldiers, open our armory and arm you with the best weapons in it, and if you win the finely crafted weapons and armor, yours will be gone!

Lady Triss will be guarded by me.

She won't be hurt, and I'll guarantee with my life!

I know I don't need Jed to give me anything!

I'm a Transansian.

So, I'll get the ones I want! ”

"Ding!"

A quest hint pops up on Lumina's player screen at this moment:

[Group Mission 'Loyal Fangs' Triggered (Shared)]

——

"Bang"

The milky white daylight potion was placed in the corner of the table.

In the tower where Philemis had been hiding for the past few days, Murphy stared at the eldest lady who was still reading with her back to her, and Lady Adele stood guard outside the passage on the top floor of the tower.

She knew that she shouldn't be involved in the conversation between the two people inside.

She just needs to do what an heir and a steward do.

"You're hiding a lot from me and Trissy! You! Not honest at all. ”

Murphy unceremoniously said to Phemis:

"You made sure your father wasn't dead a long time ago, didn't you? You also know very well what is going on in the Bloodvulture Corridor, and if it weren't for the unexpected appearance of Jade and his gang, I would have been kept in the dark by you.

I'm guessing you'll have to go to the Blood Vulture Corridor, because the Fragment of Desire, which represents the position of the Patriarch, is there, and if you can get your hands on that tablet, you can rebuild your clan!

Anything to help me build a new force, and anything to confirm the truth is all a lie!

Maybe you and Jade are just a good deal, and he's not wrong to call you 'little slut' and 'little poisonous woman'.

Perhaps the reason why I went out of my way to accommodate these survivors was just to convert them into a new batch of members of the clan when it was all over.

Let me ask you, Phimis, is the Blood Vulture Clan really that important to you? ”

"Of course it's important!"

Feimis no longer pretended to read, she dropped the book and turned her head, her blood-colored eyes stared at Murphy, she took a deep breath and knew that the showdown had come, and said in a deep voice:

"Families are important to every vampire! Only outliers like you and Tracy don't care about the demise of their own family, and only think about establishing a power that belongs only to you.

However, you ignore the malice of the world itself towards vampires, and we can only survive in the dark by holding together!

The family is the convergence of this philosophy of survival.

But you're wrong, Murphy.

I'm not taking you and the poor people in the survivor camp as a victim, and I really want to go to the Blood Vulture Corridor just to find out where I came from

I know you've been speculating, so I'll just tell you!

I. Not a vampire!

At least not an ordinary vampire!

I can't just ask you for help, I think your mind must have noticed this, you're just pretending to be stupid like a scheming guy waiting for this moment to blame me for all this, and rightly scold me for not being honest.

Yet, don't you hide something from me as well?

I don't believe that a fringe person who has been in the family for more than a year can be reborn in a matter of days, and you have a secret! And your secrets are buried deeper than mine.

In your words, wash your suspicions away before humiliating me!

But I don't care about that, other people's secrets don't want to share, and we midnight children shouldn't take the initiative to explore, and crossing the line that shouldn't be taken is preaching malice, and that's a signal for war.

I'll tell you the truth!

I just want to know the truth now!

And only my father knows the truth, and maybe your elder Triss knows, but the Scarlet Witch is not going to say that she is torturing me!

She knew exactly what to do to torture me, like a brilliant blood torturer, who knew what to do to inflict more pain on her prey.

But I don't even know that vicious woman who is loved by you, why would she hate me so much?

Obviously, I haven't met her a few times at all.

As for the tragedy that happened in the Vulture Corridor, I'll admit I saw some, but that's not something you need to worry about!

You can't solve it either.

I'm not hiding here these days, I'm not fishing.

I have already made difficult contact with the Blood Alliance Knights through the token of the heir of the Blood Vulture Clan, and the Blood Knights under the command of Lord Pa Ying are already on their way to Transnesia.

I assure you, Murphy! ”

The eldest lady took a deep breath, and she said in a deep voice:

"Those horrible things in the Vulture Corridor aren't a problem you need to worry about, I'll help you get rid of them! This will also be your territory, and I promised you that no one would take it away.

But now, Jed is our mutual trouble!

He shouldn't have escaped!

I saw my father's loyal servants drain their blood, I don't know what my father was doing, but he sealed the secret door of the Vulture Corridor with shards of desire.

Since they escaped, it means that they stole the certificate of the Grand Duke in my father's possession, and they chose to betray the family.

I don't want to know why, but they have to die!

The rules are so that they cannot be violated. ”

She glanced at the daylight potion that Murphy had placed in the corner of the table, and said:

"He's got you the price, right? Did you come here and expect me to offer you a price? ”

"Nope."

Murphy pulled out the blade of the Desire Race from his waist and slammed it to the ground.

The cage handle of the swift sword vibrated and buzzed at high speed, and Murphy moved his neck, his eyes darting crimson in the darkness.

He said:

"It's like a plot option

If I had to pick a collaborator between you and Jed, I would have to be a little more cautious. I need to know who's credible! I'll tell you the truth, I have a plan in place and I've put it into practice.

I'm considering whether or not to continue working with one of your two evil spirits.

Or, just take this opportunity to get rid of both of you, which are obviously not good things! ”

"Huh?"

The eldest lady looked at Murphy.

She wondered if this guy was under too much pressure and went crazy, how could he, a rookie vampire who didn't even pass the black iron trial, have such a big breath? Even with Tracey's help, it would never be possible. Wait a minute!

The eldest lady's heart flashed like lightning, and she immediately thought of a crazy possibility.

She widened her eyes and scolded:

"You're going to work with those witch hunters? Murphy! You are crazy! ”

"I'm not new to working with them, and you know this better than anyone else, having lived through that night in the Smuggler's Woods!

But am I not what you call an 'outlier'? An unwelcome alien who does anything crazy doesn't deserve to be surprised by a 'noble bloodline' like you, right? ”

Murphy smiled playfully and grimly in the darkness.

He pointed to the sword stuck in the ground in front of him, and said to Phimis, who had already grasped the psionic saber at his waist and was retreating:

"Either you gamble all your reputation, join me in teaming up with the witch hunters to get rid of Jed's gang, and let us become 'traitors' in the mouths of others with our hands stained with the blood of our own kind, so as to forge a despicable unity that can be trusted by each other!

Either I'll have to use your noble blood here to complete my trials of black iron, and then use your miserable death as bait to send Jade and his gang where they need to go.

You're right.

That arrogant fool really shouldn't have been there at this time, and he was trying to tempt me with clumsy language, and he was going to break into the game without being invited.

He's so blind!

It's like a stupid lady who is not honest at all and doesn't realize her real situation, it's all now, and she still can't figure out who is the leader?

It's so eye-catching."

"You're a little too loud."

Fimis gritted his teeth and said:

"Even those who are professionals dare to do so"

She stopped in the middle of her sentence.

For she saw Lady Adele slowly emerging in the darkness behind Murphy, who held the Thorn Sword in her left hand and a scarlet handcuff in her right hand, and her precise position blocked all routes out of the tower.

Adele's body was shaking.

She was visibly resisting what she was about to do.

However, how could a Bloodline refuse an order from an Exalted Superior?

Murphy pulled out a chair and sat on it reclined, even with his legs cocked a little loosely.

He stared at the silent eldest lady in front of him, spread his hands, and said:

"Femis Cecilia Lesenbra! You have to recognize your situation! And time is passing like a precious life, now, make your choice!

I'm running out of patience. ”
