In order to celebrate that she had acquired the otherworldly knowledge she had received from that little cutie of Lumina, Lady Tracey decisively opened a bottle of "Frozen Moonlight" royal wine to celebrate her outstanding wisdom.

Although she doesn't know what kind of surprise her warrior Lumina will bring her, Tris has a hunch that she may soon be able to make an effective breakthrough in her alchemy path that has been stagnant for many years.

However, before she had finished drinking this cup of good wine, the arithmetic orb she had embellished on her bracelet made a rapid noise.

She looked down and saw that it was Murphy's invitation to communicate.

"Hey, it's a big night, what do we have to say between lonely men and widows? This little idiot. ”

Tracey doesn't care.

But he still put down the wine glass, lazily activated the communication, and was about to tease a few words, when he heard a weak voice from Murphy over there:

"The Archduke of Thorns has knocked on the door, come and get me."

“？？？”

Trissy's eyes widened instantly, Huo Ran got up, her five fingers opened and the serenade scepter that was placed on the desk slid into her palms with a whoosh, and the scarlet midnight cloak was also embellished on her shoulders.

Although it was no longer the relationship between the elder and the heir, after hearing that little Murphy was violently beaten by another wild woman, a nameless anger still ignited in Tracey's heart in an instant, making the peaceful scarlet light in her eyes burn at this moment and turn into a sharper and more unruly flame.

Kill her!

A cold, vicious voice that hadn't been heard in over a hundred years screamed in her head.

It was another one of her growling.

"Where did the wild woman come from! Dare to bully the little man in my family to give you face! ”

"Huh"

In the beating of the flames of rage, an extremely unstable scarlet rift was torn open by Tracey's hand, and then she strode into it, and appeared in the area where Murphy's aura stayed in the next second.

This is a wilderness woodland south of Cadman City.

Obviously, Murphy didn't intend for the thorny duchess beating him up to be noticed by his little players.

As a mainstory NPC, the necessary face must be maintained at all times.

However, the situation is not as bad as Triss imagined.

Although little Murphy is indeed very embarrassed, but relying on the resolute counterattack of the miracle creature of necessary evil, although Murphy was stabbed a few times, it was not a big deal.

The latter apparently didn't intend to actually seriously injure Murphy.

She may just want to capture this little guy in exchange for her detained Earl of White Mountain.

Theoretically, the capture of a gold-rank blood clan grand duke against a black iron-rank little vampire would definitely be completed in an instant, and the terrifying difference in strength between the two sides made it impossible for the latter to avoid any play by the former.

But it's clear that Murphy isn't the "norm."

He had already used up his three [Night Bat Transformations] tonight, and had dodged the dangerous restraints of the Thorn Archduke three times in a row, but this was the limit.

Faced with the attack of the latter's ghostly lady's battle fist on both hands, Murphy couldn't even capture the trajectory of the opponent's movements, let alone fight back.

He also saw for the first time the true essence of the "Midnight Assassination Technique" that the Thorn Clan was proud of.

This is simply a triple combination of female ninja + female Assasin + Valkyrie!

Speed, skill, and destructive power are fully combined, and they are haunted in Murphy's shadow, so that even if he soars through the sky with bloody wings, he will not be able to avoid the dark night raid of the Grand Duchess.

Moreover, the Grand Duchess, like Andre, clearly possessed the strange power bestowed by the blood of the Nord north wind, and each of her attacks would slow Murphy's speed by a large reduction under the frost condensation.

"Come here!"

Tracey casts the spell immediately.

Under her control, the scarlet dark spirit could cover the scene of the bus battle between Murphy and the female university in an instant, like a dozen scratching ghost claws.

Unable to reach the latter, he pulled Murphy back to her side through the claw.

This is obviously an advanced spatial psionic skill, and being thrown out by Tracy with a heavy weight will take effect in an instant, and it also means that Tracy has completely gotten rid of the previous crippled weakness, allowing her to return to the existing power stage.

"Buzz"

The figure of the Archduke of Thorns emerged from the scattered shadows of the night.

The battle blade in her hand quietly recycled into a pair of delicate lace-trimmed women's hunting gloves, and in a very dignified manner, she flicked her golden braids and flew behind her ears, and looked up at Trace, who spread out the dragon's wings in the air and glared at her.

"Your Blood Vulture Clan is really interesting, the dignified Patriarch's Blade was given to a little guy to hold, I also smelled the shards of desire on him, and I heard that your Holy Blood Pool was also destroyed. In other words, as a real patriarch, you don't even have a grand duke's certificate

This will definitely be made up by old Edward and spread in our circle. ”

"It's much better than the dignified Grand Duke of Thorns sneaking into my territory like a thief, and trying to capture my entourage but losing his hand on a little guy with a black iron rank."

Triss retorted and sneered:

"After the eternal death of the Oxana patriarch, these thorn walkers are really not as good as the next generation, what about Sophie? Why did my Sufi sister fall into miserable eternal silence? ”

Triss doesn't remember the woman in front of her.

But the latter is indeed the Grand Duchess of the Thorn Clan, which means that the old patriarch that Trith is familiar with must have had an accident.

In the face of Trisi's inquiry, the current Grand Duke of Thorns shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone:

"Archduke Sophie was on the wrong side in the cold moon coup d'état thirty years ago. It's a pity, but for the sake of the family's prosperity, we, the faithful heirs, have to endure the pain of seeing her return to the arms of the Mother of the Night under the siege of the apologists of the Winter Wolf Church.

You look like an old-timer, so it's up to me, a young man, to introduce me.

My name is Anastasia Shani Romanov Torreze.

You can call me Shani. ”

This thorny female archduchess looks generous, gentle, and has a unique double braid and a kind of gentleness of the neighbor's wife and big sister, but she is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the "old-timers" and "young people" in just one sentence viciously ridicule Tracey's age.

Although it is not necessary to be old before the vampire is immortal, as a woman, it is definitely a topic that cannot be touched.

Tracey understood the sarcasm of the guy in front of her.

The fire in her heart flickered a little more violently, but then she realized that she was talking to a jealous descendant who could manipulate her emotions, and that her mood change at this time was not normal!

She immediately pinched her fingers to release the spiritual energy to seal her mind, causing the Grand Duke of Xia Ni below to blink, and a trace of regret flashed in her gray-blue eyes.

What a pity.

It was almost enough to ignite the anger in the old woman's heart.

It's really just a little bit worse.

Well, it's an old-timer, it doesn't look easy to deal with.

"Trisy Cavendina Ja Lorraine Lesenbra, you should have heard of this name, if my poor Sophie did trust you before you launched your betrayal."

Tracey flapped her massive bloodline and slowly fell.

Murphy behind her also suppressed the fluctuating emotions and fell with him, holding the Desire Demon Blade to protect Tracey.

She introduced herself, and the thorn lady in front of her showed a surprised expression, and said:

"A ghost who has been dead for more than a hundred years has crawled out of the grave again? Archduke Sophie has mentioned you many times, saying that you are one of her few friends and a fellow whom she admires, and that your Blood Vulture Clan is truly different.

This is true of both the patriarch and the count. ”

"You seem to be different, too, Shanny."

Tracey narrowed her eyes and looked at the unkind woman in front of her.

Her ancient memories were tumbling, and soon she found a clue in the countenance of the Grand Duchess of Channie, so she asked quietly:

"What is the relationship between Boris, the 'hero king' who resisted the second black plague and then captured the Borean Fort and established the Nordtov kingdom? The contours of your eyes and face remind me of him, as well as the strange ending of your tongue that is peculiar to your speech.

It's exactly the same. ”

"What a great old-timer, but he's still an 'old-timer'."

Archduchess Shani didn't care about Tracey discovering her old bottom, and she had to have such a big heart to make a personal life in a society like vampires, which often lived for hundreds of years.

Like you bragging to other people about legends from hundreds of years ago, and then a vampire scolds you for talking nonsense because he was watching something like that when it happened, it happens almost every day in the vampire society.

Time!

This cold thing means nothing to these Eternals in the night, just as every official member of every family is a walking history book.

Therefore, in the face of Tracey's questioning, the Grand Duke of Xia Ni generously admitted:

"I am the youngest daughter of the heroic King Boris, born in the winter winds of the second month of the year 740 when my father led his army into the Borean Castle, and I should have spent my life as a happy princess.

However, when I was 40 years old, my father died in a border war, and the kingdom he left behind was seized by the vassals.

That's when I was picked up by Ms. Sophie and became one of the Thornwalkers.

Speaking of which, I think you can understand why I'm 'bullying' a young man like Count Cadman as the Grand Duke.

It's not a biracial affair, Miss Trissy.

It's just a personal vendetta!

It's a parent who comes to get his weak child back in a cage after seeing his great-great-grandson being put in a cage by outsiders, and that's it. ”

Murphy and Triss were speechless at what they said.

All right.

The blonde woman's cunning concept of stealing her mind turned her invasion of the Blood Vulture territory into a personal vendetta, but there was indeed a blood connection between the two of them, who were more than three hundred years apart.

Murphy probably knew where the good eloquence of the Earl of White Mountain when he threatened him came from.

He stared at the smiling blonde woman in front of him, who was very dangerous, and he realized that the slender tongue of the woman in front of him was really flexible

However, Tracey was already focusing on something else at this time.

She is a historian.

Although he does not specialize in human history, he is very familiar with some of the details of the founding of the kingdom of Nordov because of his own experience.

Grand Duke Shani didn't reveal much information, but it was enough for Tracey to figure out the real reason for her old friend Grand Duke Sophie's death and the real state of the Nordtov kingdom at this time.

She looked at Xia Ni with a "terrifying" expression and said:

"So, the 'Cold Moon Coup' that took place in the kingdom of Nordtov thirty years ago was actually promoted by you behind the scenes? Let the direct bloodline of the hero king Boris regain control of the Far North after 300 years?

It is rumored that the Thorn Clan and the Nordtov Kingdom have been deeply bound, but this rumor is wrong!

You've taken control of that country!

No!

Is it you, you, the unique vampire patriarch, who has taken control of Nordtov and expanded Midnight Shadow across the Great Wilderness?

You're playing with fire! ”

"If you're referring to me violating the Blood Clan's Escape Code, then you can rest, what age is it?"

Xia Ni still maintained that gentle expression, waving her hands like a court lady's lazy air, she played with her braids and looked at Tracy again, her gray-blue eyes floating with a touch of ruthlessness and indifference.

She said:

"I am telling you this to convey to you the final message of your old friend, Archduke Sophie.

I've given my elders a chance!

But she stubbornly sided with the rebels of the Rurik dynasty, and I couldn't understand what kind of benefit they gave her to make stupid decisions that were not at all in line with the wisdom of vampires, but unfortunately my lord and I had irreconcilable contradictions in this regard.

This is not a personal vendetta.

It's just that the choices are different, so I hope that in the next contact between the Thorn Clan and the Blood Vulture Clan, we don't bring too much personal emotion into each other.

What do you say? Grand Duke Tracey. ”

"Because you don't understand, because Sophie's love and soulmate is the second king of the Rurik dynasty."

Tracey whispered:

"It was a love that was not blessed by everyone, as irreconcilable as midnight and the sun, but it was real, even blessed by Paliano's neurotic. Sophie, who always declares herself to be cold-blooded, finally fulfills her loyalty to love.

In the face of the threat of eternal death, she still chooses to shelter the heirs left behind by her lover.

It's silly and romantic.

Well, my poor old friend, may her soul rest in peace at midnight. ”

"Wait!"

This time it was Xia Ni's turn, who had always been down-to-earth and generous, with a strange expression.

She rubbed her eyebrows and said in a strange tone:

"The second king of the Rurik dynasty was a woman, right? Nicknamed the 'Queen of Blood', she was a tyrannical but outstanding-looking queen, as was Grand Duke Sophie. So, what you mean is that my lord is actually a .

No!

That's impossible!

She obviously has several lovers in the family!

I even had the pain to execute the elite members of the Silver Rank and all their heirs and blood servants because of this. ”

"Congratulations on killing the wrong person, Shani."

Tracey said in a quiet tone:

"That's just a trick Sophie used to disguise her true feelings, she courted me before she became attached to the queen, it's hard to think about, but I advise you to take this as the last joke your lord ever played with you.

Sophie's bastard loved to make jokes like that, and Lily, another old friend of mine who had passed away, often got into trouble with her over it.

We were three sisters of the same age and equal strength. ”

"Poof"

Murphy, who was originally standing with a sword and a serious guard next to him, couldn't help laughing, but was glared at by the Grand Duke of Xia Ni.

"If the two old-timers' reminiscence is over, then we might as well get down to business?"

Seeing that there was a mysterious silence between Triss and Shanny, Murphy coughed, withdrew the Demon Sword of Desire at his waist, and said to Grand Duke Shani:

"Stuffing your descendant in a cage is just an exaggeration, but he's actually just staying in the Vulture Corridor and enjoying the treatment of a distinguished guest, and I'm just trying to bring in a heavyweight enough guest to make contact between the two sides.

I just didn't expect you to come.

That's right, please come with me.

Not only do the Vulture Clan and the Thorn Clan have some things to communicate, but there are also many troublesome things between the Translansia region and the Nordtov Kingdom that need to be resolved immediately. ”

"Yes, Shani."

Trance wields the Serenade Scepter to open a psychic portal to the Vulture Corridor, inviting to:

"You may have heard about the disasters that happened to the Blood Vulture Clan, but believe me, all you have heard about is a few corners, and what has happened to this land in the past period of time is beyond your imagination.

I'm sure you've heard rumors from Lord Paliano about the impending Black Plague.

There's a lot to talk about between us on that note.

If you're not very busy, you might be able to stay a few more days in our territory, and I'm sure you'll love it. ”

"Okay."

Lady Shane brushed her hair and gladly accepted Trissy's invitation.

Watching the two archduchesses with different styles but definitely their own merits step into the psionic teleportation, Murphy rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes.

Although I was beaten up, it wasn't a bad thing!

I was just thinking about what reason to use to release a batch of test places, and lo and behold, isn't this "random event" the best reason right now?

The old aunt of the NPC family next door came to visit the door, and she is still one of the important figures in the blood system, so if you don't encourage young players to quickly brush up on a wave of favorability, you will be blind to the name of "dog planning".
