Murphy is hosting a celebration tonight at the ruins of Cadman City.

The reason is to celebrate that the survivors of Cadman City have finally survived the most difficult moments, the suffering of this land is finally over, and a new life is just around the corner.

Of course, there is an important part of the celebration to pay tribute to the poor people who died in the city disaster, although not all the missing people have been confirmed dead, but to be honest, it is indeed difficult for the large number of ordinary people who have been swept up in the astral plane to survive in that mysterious alien plane.

Anyway, according to Tracey, if you throw a gold-level powerhouse into the astral realm without any preparation, it's hard to say whether he can survive seven days.

It was a very different place from the physical world, with a very different set of circumstances and rules, and even a psionic master like Tracy had a very limited understanding of it, and just what he knew so far was enough to make a regrettable decision.

For example, Tracey explicitly told Murphy that there are some parts of the astral plane where space and time are mapped out of order, and that alone is enough to kill 99% of life in the physical world.

But that's not what Murphy needs to think about at this time, especially tonight!

He must fulfill his duties as a lord, not only to protect the personal safety of his subjects, but also to take care of their spiritual needs.

The night is getting late, and it's dusk.

Led by the camp guards, the able-bodied survivors began to move some of the carpenter's long tables into the cleaned-out town square in the outer city.

The camp's chefs, led by Chef Franks Chauvin, have been busy here since the afternoon.

They're setting up a cauldron they've recovered from the city, and they're throwing some jerky, beans, wild fruits, and high-end seasonings found in the ruins of the city's restaurants into it, and that's the free food that will be offered to everyone at tonight's celebration.

It smells good, but the taste is barely okay.

But considering it's all available for free, don't ask for too much.

There are also some apprentice chefs making grilled fish on the side, which were brought by the fishermen in the camp in the nearby river this morning, and there are also many veteran anglers who have worked hard to put in the "special ration" in the camp on weekdays, and need to use labor points in exchange for a tooth sacrifice, which is also provided for free tonight.

But there is only half of one person.

The leader of the camp's gatherers, Lady Palian Fedor, a big-shouldered lady with a round waist, was directing her girls to pour berries from the woodland into vats and wash them, and then put them on a long table with bamboo lou.

These will be served as a side dish to tonight's celebration.

Farther afield, a few young men from Maxim's Cadman Self-Salvation Army drove donkey carts to carry barrels of wine from cellars beneath the line of defense and into the square.

Just the most ordinary drinks.

But in the current scene, a lot of drunkards have been aroused, and they have been asked to follow the donkey cart with a hippie smile to help the handle.

Murphy's decision to use the buffet for as many people as possible to participate in tonight's celebration was a method of maximizing efficiency, and it was not his own idea, as it was already the case in Translasia, so the survivors of the camp were very skilled at doing their jobs under the direction of the old man.

Miss Miriam had announced in the camp at noon that she would not have to work this afternoon and evening, so that the ruins of the city were already full of people, even though the festivities had not yet begun.

Some helped out in the square, others ran carefree through the crowd, and some went to their former homes in groups to light a rough candle in the ruins to commemorate the old days.

Laughter and cries echoed again in this dusk, and Murphy, who was standing on the collapsed wall and watching the scene, was also a little silent.

"There used to be 150,000 people in Cadman."

Beside him, a heavily armed Maxim lifted his mask and sighed in an emotional tone:

"Now that's all that's left."

"But they're alive!"

Murphy held the wicked hilt of the necessary evil at his waist in his hand, and whispered:

"So, this is something to celebrate, and it is the greatest luck to survive death, whether they want it or not, and then they have to carry the hope of those who have passed away to continue to live here.

Rebuild the city, rebuild the hometown. ”

Maxim nodded.

He was absolutely convinced by Murphy's master's words, and he was in a state of apprehension and anticipation at this time, because after tonight's celebration was the time for him to complete his first embrace.

Between now and midnight, it will be the last time he will walk the land as a human.

"Go, say goodbye to them, to human life."

Murphy said.

Maxim hummed and turned to leave, and Murphy reminded:

"Don't wear your armor or care about your face, go generously. They all know you, they all know your name, they all hear of your fight and salvation in the city, you are their defender, and you deserve respect.

Others can call you a monster, but you can't think that yourself. ”

"Don't worry, sir."

As he walked down the wall, Maxim said:

"I don't think so, and 'monster' is no longer a mockery for me, it's more like a compliment to me for being unique and different."

After the loyal servant left, as the wind blew and the blood wings retracted, Lady Adele fell from the sky and landed precisely beside Murphy.

She whispered:

"My lord, a total of 122 people who do not want to stay have set off, and Director Miriam has sent guards to escort them to the village of Morland, where the witch hunters are camping."

"Let them be."

Murphy looked at the children playing in the square in the distance without squinting, and said:

"People who don't belong are never important, they mean nothing to the land, and rootless duckweed-like individuals mean nothing to anyone. I heard that you picked three heirs from Maxim? ”

"Well, the few guys who survived the traitor Jed's gang are all in terrible shape, and I chose the best three women from among them and made a blood pact with them. Maxim has also chosen three of his future servants and heirs.

The last four were given to Lady Bonnie, and Lady Triss needed to reassemble her Chief's Guard, which Jade had chosen from the Chief's Guard's reserves. ”

Mrs. Adele finished her report, and then whispered:

"But it was only when I went through the ritual of making a blood contract that I truly realized what you had given me in my first embrace. I must thank you again, Master Murphy. ”

"It took so long for you to remember to thank me, and it really hurts me."

Murphy joked and shook his head, and said to Adele:

"You were once a good stalker and wanderer, so I want you to be my 'Pro Trainer' for my warriors, helping those who aspire to walk the path of the shadows to discover their powers.

When the servants of the lord of Paliano come to us, you can step down.

I'll give you this as your new duty in the Vulture Clan. ”

He took out Scrooge's seal, put it in the palm of Lady Adele's hand, and said:

"You used to be an excellent butler of Femis, and now you are the steward of the entire Blood Vulture Clan, and there will be a special accountant in Miriam's camp to connect with you, so please pay more attention to this.

Tris also wants to complete the reward for you, Maxim and Bonnie tonight, so I want to ask, do you have any requirements for your territory? ”

"Request. Actually, I don't have much need for power. ”

Lady Adele put the scarlet seal ring on the little finger of her right hand, and watched it turn into a delicate and quaint bloodstone tail ring, she hesitated for a moment, and said:

"But if I could, I'd like to have my territory near the filthy swamp."

"It's not a good place, it's not like a bounty, it's more like a distribution frontier."

Murphy glanced at his heir in surprise, and then he asked:

"Is it related to your background? I heard you say before, your mother left you something? ”

"It's not a legacy, my lord, it's my birthplace."

Lady Adele was now able to share her deepest secrets with Murphy without any qualms, and in the twilight she ruffled her long hair and whispered:

"It was a hidden valley near the Barren Mountains further south of the Filthy Swamp, on the outskirts of the Dark Mountains, and it was inhabited by elven hybrids like me. Our origins are complicated, and it is not clear in three or two sentences.

But it has been there for almost sixty years, and my mother was one of the leaders there.

I want my territory to be near there, so that it will be easier to serve your cause in the future. ”

"How many people are there?"

Murphy blinked and asked, and Lady Adele held up three fingers and said:

"There were three thousand men when I left, but twenty years have passed, and I can't answer you what it is like now."

"That's thirty places."

Murphy quickly completed the conversion in his heart, he nodded, and assured Adele:

"I'll discuss this with Tracey, you don't have to worry about it for now, and when the ruins are rebuilt on track, I promise you that I will set aside a force to help you fulfill your wishes."

"No, master."

Adele stubbornly shook her head and said:

"It's good for me to do this kind of thing myself, because my people are quite xenophobic due to some historical reasons, and I can't rush into contact with them."

"But maybe it can create external opportunities?"

Murphy whispered:

"After all, the Black Plague is coming, isn't it?"

Adele's eyes lit up.

She nodded, but said no more, and a few minutes later, the vampire lord flickered his shoulders and spread his wings in the twilight as the hovering figure of the blood-eating vulture Revnoor appeared in front of Murphy's eyes.

He said to Adele:

"Go and enjoy the celebration tonight, in the way you're used to. I've got to go see my warriors, they've been looking forward to today for too long, I can't afford to keep them waiting. ”

——

As the familiar points of light converged into starlight and dissipated in the blink of an eye, the young players who had been dead for three days and then came back to life opened their eyes almost at the same moment.

Once again, they returned to the game world they had become accustomed to and loved, but this time they had come back to life in a different place instead of the familiar Lord Murphy.

The large and empty underground warehouse, apparently the area used by Tribune Kudell to house survivors in the Vulture Corridor, has been renamed the "Midnight Vault" to serve as a save point for young players in the Newbie Village.

With the official opening of the territory system and the recovery of the Blood Vulture Corridor, Murphy has also placed the player's first "birthplace" here.

Of course, as his territory gradually develops, the save points of the young players can also be selected by themselves.

Maybe you can complete the binding as long as you talk to special NPCs around the territory, the only pity is that there is no magical Hearthstone in this world that can allow them to return to the city instantly, well, in fact, it's not nothing, it's just that there was no need for this before, after all, astral travel is not a safe thing.

But for small players, it's not too cool to be able to get back to the city quickly at a little risk, so maybe you can ask "Doratrith" to research this area?

It would be great if you could get a city scroll or something!

"There's a celebration outside tonight! It must be very lively, rush rush! ”

Xiao Wei Ming experienced resurrection for the first time, and patted her "newbie suit" with great curiosity and disgust, and ran out of the warehouse with Lumina only to see a "locker" at the door.

It has the names of the players on it, and the lock is done with a simple psionic spell, just like a smart lock with a fingerprint.

Xiao Weiming quickly found her personal locker, opened it and took out the equipment she was wearing before she died, especially the two scarlet revolvers that she bought with a lot of money, which still made her love it.

Quickly changing into equipment, the noisy little players quickly left the save point.

Most of them weren't as interested in tonight's celebration as the female gamers, and what they really cared about was the reward they would get after a hard-fought battle.

Brother Meow, Cheche and Niu Niu, who survived before, were also waiting for them outside the warehouse at this time, and the task prompted them to come here to receive the reward.

Just as the young players gathered in front of the spawn point, they saw a pair of huge blood wings spread out in the shadows ahead, and then the handsome and handsome Lord Murphy folded his wings and glided down, landing in front of them in an elegant gesture.

"My warriors! Welcome back to your second home! ”

With a smile on his face, Murphy opened his arms and announced to the young players in front of him with the enthusiasm of NPCs:

"It is with great joy and satisfaction that I announce to you, my trusting and loveliest warriors, that our crusade against Sarlokdal has been a great success! Our newborn territory has finally survived the most difficult time with your inexhaustible courage!

And in doing so, I was able to give my modest gratitude to the true warriors.

Accept the thanks of Cadman City and the Vulture Clan, warriors of the night, for what you deserve! ”

As Murphy's words fell, a light ding-ding-ding

"Yay!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

The news of the arrival of the costumes, titles, and physical rewards and new versions made players cheer, but the six of the Meow Meows in the crowd looked at the prompt to claim the Blood Vulture Clan's treasure chest, and these guys felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

"Blanch! Open the blind box, ah, this is! ”

The old song of the succubus scolded:

"What a planner, how did you have a dog face! Do you have to show off this kind of rotten work? Wouldn't you just give a fixed weapon or equipment as a reward of choosing one of three or four? You have to gamble on character, right? ”

"Think about the good."

The pretending not to use their hands in the back will not realize the seriousness of the problem, this old table is very optimistic and said:

"Maybe our character exploded today?"

Murphy, who was being surrounded by young players on his way to the Blood Vulture Secret Vault, swept the six of Meow Meow in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.

Hey, that's what you guys just called me "Dog Planner", right? I've heard them all!

Very good!

Very bold!

Let's see what a real dog planner is!
