Miriam finally accepted the title and title of "Baroness Morland", and returned to the chair next to Lady Triss in a daze with a Scarlet Archon's Night Bat Seal.

Her mind is blank, and it's almost impossible for her to think effectively.

This made her feel like she must have been trapped by a vicious spirit spell by a cunning vampire, but Lady Tracey knew that it was just a "pig brain overload" caused by a lot of thinking in a short period of time.

Nothing serious.

Just take a break and relax with a few sips of wine.

Tonight's ritual is over in terms of process, but Murphy has one last thing to announce, and amid the whispers of the little players on the second floor, Murphy leaned on himself to get up from his chair.

He took a deep breath with the Desire Blade and looked up.

His gentle gaze crossed the faces of each of the little players, and he could remember how these lovely and brave Otherworldly Spirits fought under his command, and how he came into contact with each of them.

Although I have only been with the young players for less than a month now, the relationship between the two sides is quite familiar.

Unfortunately, Murphy can't be sure if this closeness is due to the player's genuine belief in his "NPC" as a friend, or simply because of the player's affection for a mainline NPC with a lot of money.

He wished to know the answer to that question.

Even just by listening with the perception of desire, you may be able to get answers.

But Murphy didn't do that.

He didn't want to be disappointed, and it wasn't the time yet.

Putting this question behind him, he reached out and quietly grabbed the core orb tied to his wrist to activate the task send, and the text and content that had been edited long ago were ready to be released.

"My warriors! It is precisely because of your unyielding battle in the past month that I, once a marginal member of my family, have come to this point, and everything I have now is forged by your blood.

Therefore, I must hereby declare!

I'm about to make a decision that goes against the traditional rules laid down by countless vampire sages.

It may make me a spurned by my fellow citizens, but I know I have to!

I want to share the blessings of midnight with the power of scarlet! Just as they were generous and loyal to me. ”

"Ding, Ding, Ding"

At the moment when Murphy finished speaking, the sound of a task prompt popped up on all players' calculation orbs, and this kind of large-scale task triggering looked like an update to the main quest.

Brother Meow lowered his head, and saw the task prompt popping up on the player's interface:

【Race Branch·' Midnight's Call has been triggered!

Description: Touched by your loyalty and courage, Lord Murphy, Earl of Cadman, and now that the Blood Vulture Clan is on the verge of extinction, he has to make a difficult decision with Lady Trass to save the family from the turmoil.

He wants to invite you to join the Blood Vulture Clan and become a member of the Midnight Nobles and the Spawn of Eternal Sin.

Of course, Master Murphy never forces his warriors to do anything, so it is up to you to decide whether or not to respond to Master Murphy's call.

Objective: Respond to the call of Archduchess Tracey and Lord Murphy, Earl of Cadman, pass the Black Iron Trial, complete the First Embrace and Psionic Weaving Ritual, and join the Blood Vulture Clan.

(Ps. This task cannot be completed until the version update ends.) ）

Rewards: New Race Templates and Unique Strength Systems, New Reputation Systems and Gameplay Updates

(Ps. The above features will be implemented after the version update is completed.) ）

Prompt!

This quest is optional, and declining a quest will not reduce the reputation of the parties you have now gained.

Prompt!

The Vampire Race is the first attempt by the development team to play based on a new race, and rejecting the quest will not affect the more new race experiences that will be introduced in subsequent releases.

Tips from the development team!

Vampires are a transcendent race, and they have advantages as well as disadvantages that are difficult to ignore, so testers are advised to choose carefully.

Tips from the development team!

Once the quest is accepted and completed, the gameplay will be permanently changed and irrevocable, so please choose carefully.

Tips from the development team!

The test server will be shut down after 20 minutes and will be updated with Alpha 2.0.

Testers are requested to log out of the midnight chamber of the Blood Vulture Corridor, the initial save point, as the update will last for 48 hours, so please be patient and wait for the update to complete. 】

"Blanch! I'm going to give my fucking heart to Master Murphy! At this point, you told me I had to wait 48 hours for the update to continue my allegiance?

What about the pit daddy!

The sense of substitution in the game is gone all of a sudden! ”

The invincible tyrannosaurus car howled on the spot.

Ever since he played the "Vampire Experience Card" before, he couldn't stop feeling that he could fly, and now that the quest has finally been triggered, it is really a little unbearable to have to update it again.

"Damn it! This development team is not loyal at all! It is recommended to drag out the blaster and wait! ”

Happy bars are also gritting their teeth on the side.

This old brother didn't have any plot recognition for the vampire race, he was purely interested in the strength of the beauty of the transcendent race.

And Happy Stick keeps flashing back to the cutscene of the vampire's first hug he just saw in his mind, and he thinks that if the NPC vampire can hug others for the first time, then the vampire played by the player can also do the same?

It's not that there's anything nasty about it.

After all, it is indeed not easy to find a top-notch bloodline like Lady Adele who has both strength and can be used as a vase, mainly because of the absolute control of the vampire lord over the heir.

This super loyal relationship is a supreme blessing for people like Brother Bang who are not born with much security.

Other players are also complaining that the update didn't come at the right time, but it was necessary!

Murphy had to give them time to think carefully.

After all, this thing is really not a game, and there is no washing point and no deletion and retraining.

Once you turn to the vampire and regret it, even if the feedback area of the forum is fed back to the server explosion, Murphy can't really make a rollback for the little players.

On top of that, Tracey's psionic weaving experiment will take two days to get the final results, and Murphy plans to think about the current situation at hand while the young players are resting, sort out all the things that should be smoothed, clean up the existing game environment, and make a new main quest to welcome the arrival of the "new version".

At this time, the countdown to the server on the player's interface has begun to beat, making these guys mumble and return from the heir hall to the midnight secret room where the save point is located.

However, the first 16 guys who entered the game to participate in the test were intentionally or unintentionally left behind, and after the others were gone, these guys came back cunningly.

The 16 of them exchanged glances with each other and waited patiently at the entrance of the Heir Hall.

In addition to triggering the subplot of "Call of Midnight", these 16 "old players" also have an additional hidden quest "Old Friend's Thanks".

They confirmed that none of the second and third batches of players entered the game.

What is this?

This is clearly Lord Murphy wants to "open a small stove" for the 16 warriors who followed him at the earliest!

Lord Murphy hasn't forgotten the original old brother, he's trying to fight for the benefits of the family bank, hehe, don't you say, the NPC design of this game is really humane.

In the past, Lord Murphy was a rookie marginal person, and he fried the fish pond with everyone.

Now that Master Murphy is in a good mix, naturally he can't forget the old brothers who worked together at the beginning.

Murphy didn't let the first 16 young players who followed him wait too long, and soon he appeared in front of the young players with the wolf poison staff sword that he had previously captured from Joopan Makchi as a walking staff.

It was obvious that he was still a little weak, but when he saw the 16 familiar faces that had been with him the longest, the vampire lord's face showed a gentle smile that everyone was familiar with.

"We've been through a lot of challenges together, my warriors. No, my friends, I just want you to know that although I am a vampire born from midnight, I also know how to be grateful. ”

He didn't go into a tirade either.

Surrounded by 16 young players, he opened his psionic bag, took out one after another shimmering scarlet light, full of mystery, but unengraved names of the Blood Vulture family seals, and handed them to the warriors beside him.

He whispered:

"If you decide to walk the Midnight Path, then these Rings that prove your identity are my gift to you, but don't feel pressured by it, I understand that not everyone wants to return to the eternal night.

The soothing and embracing of the sun still reminds me in my midnight dreams that I have lost my identity as a human being, and that I do not have the right to ask you to do what you do not want to do in this world, with my will.

However, you can still keep these precious rings, and go to the alchemist or enchanter to make them into items that match the characteristics of your profession or simply souvenirs, such pure bloodstone is not easy to find on the mainland, so even with the heavy name of the Bloodvulture family sigil, this thing can be considered more valuable than gold.

This represents my personal gratitude for the warm companionship you have given me. ”

Murphy smiled and said to the 16 "veteran" players in a gentle manner:

"Under your circumstances, even if you join the Blood Vulture Clan, you may not be able to truly fulfill the Dark Night Commandments like we do, but I have already submitted a request to Lady Triss to become your nominal Elder if you wish.

Lead, teach, and protect you.

You can see it as a privilege that is different from other warriors, and it may not be fair to them.

But I think that's the praise you deserve! ”

"Blanch!"

The 16 little players suddenly blew up.

In general role-playing games, the foot man plays the marginal or symbolic role of some large organization.

However, with Master Murphy's current status above 10,000 people under one person in the Blood Vulture Clan, it is actually possible to allow the player to directly become his nominal heir, which can almost be said to be the beginning of "Tianhu", which is obviously not in line with the common sense of role-playing games.

The only explanation is that these "promises" made by Murphy in front of him are estimated to be the real "closed beta rewards" left by the development team to the first batch of closed beta players.

"What to do? I'm a little moved. ”

Brother Meow, who had already turned an oak apprentice, was a little numb for a while.

The temptation of this "new identity start" in front of him made him even have the urge to "delete the number and retrain", and the eyes of other players looking at him were also full of pity

That's weird!

When you encounter this kind of thing, of course, you should rush up and laugh loudly at the first time, okay?

"My warrior, you have been watched by the god Avalon, and I dare not snatch the believers from the god of nature."

Murphy shook his head and patted the shoulder of the dejected Meow, and said:

"But even without kinship with each other, I believe there is still a bond between us, and as I said earlier, I will not interfere with your decision, but I will rejoice in your march into the eternal night."

"Ding"

The soft sound of the player's interface caused 16 people to bow their heads at the same time.

[The hidden prestige achievement "Recognition from Master Murphy" has been lit up!]

Prompt!

The Hidden Title "Friends of Murphy" is 1/2 complete, and can be obtained by obtaining the prestige achievement "Friends of the Vultures" in subsequent versions.

Prompt!

This hidden achievement will no longer be available after the Alpha 2.0 update. 】

"Woohoo, the out-of-print achievement Get! Get the benefits for old players, Oye! ”

The good pigeon and his dormitory brothers immediately cheered, and the others were also happy.

Players, they like this kind of out-of-print stuff, even if it's a lump of poop, the out-of-print poop is also a good thing!

"I will give my heart to you! My lord! ”

"And me!"

"I'm the same!"

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Car, Aruen and Spicy Coo-Goo Chicken got down on one knee on the spot and swore allegiance to Murphy as Maxim did when he first embraced him.

But Murphy shook his head, and said in a long voice:

"I thank you for your loyalty, my dear Cheche, Aruen and Coo-Goo, but you still need to pass the trials of power. But don't worry, it's no longer an unattainable challenge for warriors like you.

Ah, there is a mysterious force telling me that you should return to your world.

Perhaps this is a sign that our world will also experience some changes.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

Come, let me send one to you.

Send my most trusted warriors back home. ”

Murphy raised his hand and walked forward into the depths of the Vulture Corridor surrounded by 16 players, almost stuck in time, occasionally chatting with his original warriors about his vision for the future of Translancia.

Stuck at the last minute to see 16 players enter the Midnight Chamber, and then temporarily disables the projection resonance function of the Test Administrator's system.

He stepped into the silent chamber.

His 60 warriors were lying in the dark at this time in various postures, but this time the "version update" was not kicked offline, so their bodies still remained solid.

Murphy raised his hand, and the Mass Death Grip was applied all around, allowing the invisible midnight noose to lift the little players into the air in a "gentle" manner, and then placed them on the stone platform in front of them in a sleeping position, and thoughtfully placed their weapons in their hands.

It was as if the next moment these warriors would open their eyes and draw their weapons to fight for Murphy.

"After fighting for so long, it's time for you to rest. After all, you are different from me, you still have your own life in another world, but don't really be treated as an Internet addict and be finished. ”

Murphy stretched out in the darkness with his cane.

At this moment, he finally doesn't have to play the role of an NPC who is always wise and always uplifted.

It's like removing an invisible mask.

The vampire lord tilted his head, and he reached out to remove the finger that the invincible tyrannosaurus chariot was lying next to him when he was asleep, and put it on his chest, and helped the pigeon to straighten the collar of his equipment.

In the darkness, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the secret room, waving his hand and whispering:

"Let's take two days off to refresh yourself and work together on our big plans, good night, my warriors.

Good night, my friends in another world.

What follows is going to be a less stressful time in the game, and as for the dangerous Scourge EMMM, let's make it an expansion. ”
