"I didn't send this task"

In the Vulture Corridor, Murphy listened to the autumn rain fall on the ground with the powerful sense of a vampire.

The sound of rain and clouds obscuring the sun made him feel comfortable, but the vampire lord's mind was not at peace at this time.

Because just now, when he was searching for the connection between the core orb and the subordinate orb, he accidentally discovered a task that was not sent by him.

It was the class-related "hidden mission" that Brother Meow had taken, but it wasn't from Murphy or any other NPC holding an Orb of Operation.

"Avalon"

Murphy stroked the core orb.

At this moment, a strong uneasiness swelled in his heart, the little players thought that this was a game, and all the tasks were brushed out by the system, but the truth was not so! The so-called "task system" is just a "trick" developed for them by Murphy with the help of the strange nature of the Orb of Computing.

This is theoretically a privilege that belongs only to Murphy's camp, because the "encryption" of the administrator system makes it impossible for other models of Computing Orbs to crack this special communication structure. But now, Brother Woo Meow has received a task from "outside the system".

Murphy didn't think that someone was playing tricks, his first reaction was that God Avalon really appeared, because this was not the first time that the natural Avalon had "appeared" here in Murphy!

When he hunted the mad vampires who had fallen into the filth of the subspace with the old knight, he had completed a "communication" with the god Avalon with the help of the old knight's hand-copied scroll of divinity.

Although it was only the other party looking at him unilaterally, and the old knight's words like prophecy before he died, it was not surprising that he could use the Calculation Orb to send out tasks, if even the 432-year-old vampire big sister could learn to use the Calculation Orb, then for the mysterious Astral Djinn, it was just something that could be mastered at a glance.

"My God is watching you, my God is bless you, my God will walk with you, and the spirits will walk with you on the sea of stars, Alpha, go on."

Murphy has a good vampire memory.

He repeated the old knight's last words in his mind.

Now it seems that the old knight is not just babbling, and Avalon seems to be really watching him as a vampire. No? God of Nature, have you suddenly developed any strange interest in-poop?

I'm an eternal sinner!

Murphy spat hard.

Then he thought of the vampire hapless Mary he had rescued in Batasin, who said that she had heard a voice in her desperate situation alerting her that Murphy would come to her rescue, and that time it wasn't Avalon who was playing tricks.

The vampire had told Tracy about it before, and Tracy had promised that she would investigate, but now that Murphy was upset, he planned to ask the "professionals" around him again.

"Smack"

Murphy pushed open the door to Tracey's office, only to find Tracey lying on the table and sleeping with a wine bottle in her arms.

All right.

Tris is an orthodox vampire, and a rainy day like this is their favorite time to sleep, and falling asleep to the sound of rain is not only the privilege of humans, but also the vampires.

Murphy shrugged his shoulders, not disturbing Tracey's hard-earned hibernation.

He placed a cloak over Tracey's shoulders and quietly stepped back out.

The entire Blood Vulture Corridor was very quiet at this moment.

Presumably, all the vampires except him had slept in their rare leisure, even Adele and Maxim, who had inherited Murphy's bloodline, but only had a slight resistance to sunlight, which did not stop the lethargy during the day.

Murphy reckoned that even Lady Shane and her Thorn Followers would have fallen asleep.

He thought so.

As a result, as soon as he turned a corner with his hands behind his back, he saw Andre, the Earl of Baishan, holding a cup of black tea, sitting on a table in a corner, flipping through a book of poems.

The latter is like "staying up late", using black tea to fight the lure of sleep.

But it can be seen that he endures very hard, yawning from time to time, which seriously destroys the feeling of "seriousness" and "rationality" and "maturity" that he has always had and tried to maintain.

Actually, this kid is quite handsome.

However, the route he took was not the same as the oncoming "handsomeness" of Lord Murphy.

"Why don't you go to sleep?"

Murphy approached him and asked in a gentle tone:

"Is the coffin we prepared for you not comfortable enough?"

"No, the walnut coffin is full of a quiet fragrance, and it is better to enjoy a peaceful dream in this part of Transnesia than our coffin made of cold wood."

The Count of André politely raised his teaglass to Murphy and said:

"I just haven't adapted to life as a vampire yet, and some of the habits of human beings are still stubbornly fighting against you, and you don't seem to have such troubles? You're obviously like me, a new member of the Blood Clan who has just been transformed for a year. ”

"Oh, there must be a skill in this kind of thing."

Murphy smiled and sat next to Count Andrew, who also cooked a cup of court tea for him very politely, and Murphy said nonsense to Andrew:

"When I was a human, I heard stories about the Daywalker from some locals when I was looking for work to support myself in Cadman City. I guess it's just folklore, but it's kind of funny. ”

"Huh? Daywalker? ”

Count André, a melancholic poet, was also interested in these folklore, so he asked:

"Is it a reference to vampires who can move freely in the sun? It sounds unlikely, our blood of the sin determines that we will never be accepted by the sun. ”

"Yes! I know, however, that the sun will accept humanity. That's not just a privilege, my fellow man. ”

Murphy took a small sip from his teacup and glanced at Count Baishan.

He stretched out his voice and said:

"What if you were a unique individual with a vampire body, but a human soul deep in it? The sun will burn your shell, but it will also soothe your soul. I also thought of the daywalker nonsense as a ridiculous story at first, but you see it too.

Although I still can't step into the sun, I can enjoy the night hug and move freely during the day without being tired.

Even when I'm active during the day, my soul cheers even more.

They all say I'm a vampire.

But I know that I'm not just a vampire, I'm a unique person in between two races, like an artistic twilight between the sun and the night, I always felt that I was lonely, fortunately, I seem to have met a 'kind' today."

Count Baishan was stunned.

He looked at Murphy's black bloodshot eyes, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he asked tentatively:

"So, it's really the soul?"

"No, it's the will! The soul is an ethereal thing, but consciousness is what really exists and acts and dominates the body, so the key is to keep your consciousness at all times, just yourself!

Even if you and I know that we will eventually be summoned by Midnight and become the same dark and vicious goods as other vampires, at least in this slippery process, we must remember that we will always be human beings, not natural monsters."

Murphy said eloquently:

"Of course, there are other keys, such as suppressing the thirst for blood, you see, I never drink unnecessary blood, and only when facing the enemy will I reveal the vicious nature of the Bloodline. I know that the sensation of sucking blood is wonderful for us like being in heaven, but things that are too nice and addictive are often bad for health.

You can give it a try, Lord Count.

If the human part of your body is stubbornly unwilling to die, why do you have to strangle yourself with your own hands?

I think being a monster may never be in the dream of any little boy.

Finding a balance between humans and vampires is difficult, but if you can do it, then maybe you can become a 'daywalker' like me."

I'm not going to reveal that to everyone, I just think

Let's be blunt, I think you can still be saved, and your Lady Channie and my Lady Trace, they are obviously not saved, they are content to be the shy rose in the midnight, but they have long forgotten their beauty as a human being. ”

After saying that, Murphy got up very politely, nodded goodbye to Count André elegantly, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows of the cloister with his hands behind his back.

Count André bit his lip.

He sensed Murphy bewitching him!

He could feel that this vampire lord, who was as big as him but much more cunning than him, was trying to interfere with his judgment with fallacies he had never heard of!

Perhaps this is because he will be the eyes of the Thorn Clan to stay in Transasia to spy on Murphy.

But he had to admit that there seemed to be some truth to this nonsense of His Excellency Earl Cadman.

"The part of me that is human stubbornly does not want to die, it does not want to see me slip into the abyss of night forever, it wants to save me. Yes! This is not a necessary stage in the transformation of life forms, and it is not the inferior nature of human beings in their mouths!

I was just.

I just want to save myself! That's all! ”

Feeling inspired, André immediately took out a pen and paper and began to write a poem.

He decided to try Murphy's approach.

What if, it really works? ——

That night, when the meow shark, who was expensive in the dormitory, finally completed the black iron trial in the flames of the sewers, the number of young players who had booked to become vampires here at Murphy finally made up for twelve.

So Count Cadman immediately summoned his warriors.

He decided to personally grant the first batch of new members of the Blood Vulture a unique ritual of first embrace and psionic weaving, and of course, for the sake of the ceremony, Murphy mobilized all the vampire members under his command, and invited a group of spectators to the Hall of Heirs.

The vampires, who had slept well during the day, were in good spirits one by one when the night came, and even though Murphy was not invited, Lady Shane still appeared here with her servants as spectators.

"It's not in order, Lady Trissy."

Madame Channie looked at the young players in the hall of the heirs who were briskly preparing for the inappropriate people, and she maintained a dignified demeanor, and said to Trace, who was posing majestically beside her, with her onomatopoeia technique:

"These little ones are otherworldly spirits, and I have never heard of a family that would bestow the blood of a sin on them."

"You found out?"

Tracey glanced at Shanny with slanted eyes.

The Archduchess of Thorns covered her mouth and chuckled, and said:

"If I can't even find out about this, then I deserve to be killed by a dose of poison in the palace struggle, and you made the psionic items on them, right? Quite useful. If I hadn't secretly observed their dead bodies last night, I wouldn't have been able to discover this secret. ”

"Looks like my cover-up has to be upgraded again."

Tracey snorted and said:

"Okay, now that you've seen through it, I'm not pretending, it's my own unique summoning technique developed through the study of the astral and subspace knowledge, they are the cards I use to revive the blood vulture, and my most trusted little Murphy is their commander.

You'd better keep your mouth shut for me, Shani, if you don't want to see the Vulture and Thorns go to war again. ”

"Oh, the old aunt threatened me, I'm really scared."

Madame Shani gently brushed her blonde braids, and the gentle face like a wife maintained an impeccable smile, without the appearance of the bloodthirsty madwoman in the battle last night.

She responds to Tracy:

"I'm going to leave Transia and return to Borean Castle soon, and I have a lot to do, so I don't have time to gossip about it, but I'll come to Transncia again to check on the development here before the Black Plague arrives.

So, Trace, how about we make a contract as Grand Dukes?

I'll help you keep the secret of your summoning spell, but you'll be allied with the Blood Vulture Clan and the Thorn Clan I'm commanding!"

I mean 'true alliance'! It's not the kind of superficial and amiable, two-faced joke in private. We can even exchange each other's blood to ensure that this pact is fulfilled! ”

"Huh? You mean the Pact of the Holy Blood? ”

Lady Tracey looked at Shani in surprise, and she asked seriously:

"Such a sincere family contract is rare in our history, and it seems to have happened only eight hundred years ago when the three patriarchs plotted to assassinate an ancient one. So, who are you going to deal with? ”

"Who else could it be?"

Xia Ni narrowed her eyes and said:

"Naturally, they are enemies! In the ancient ages of the Holy Blood War, Bloodderror, Blood Vultures, and Wolf Venom joined forces to destroy the Thorn Legion, and your atrocities led to the killing of our Origin Patriarch, resulting in the loss of our Legacy Relic.

Now that Bloodterror and the Blood Vulture have been wiped out, and Charlemagne and Sarlockdahl have returned to midnight, Archduchess Oksana will be satisfied with the Heavenly Spirit.

However, one of the murderers, the Wolf Venom Clan, has not yet suffered the scourge!

Cadman City also played a part in the disaster, and old Edward and his wolf cubs are already our common enemies, so your answer is yes."

"You tell the truth! Otherwise, I will have to refuse you. ”

Tris said solemnly:

"As a Grand Duke, you can't fight like this because of historical factors, it was already eight hundred years ago, and I don't think you, a madman who dares to kill the elder with your own hands, don't look like a she-fox who will respect tradition.

Go ahead!

Why target the Wolf Venom Clan? ”

"Alas, it's getting harder and harder to deceive people these days, and she deserves to be a well-informed old aunt."

Lady Shane smiled, and by the way, stimulated some of the emotions hidden under Tracey's coquettish expression, and she pulled her hair in the braids, and gave the real reason:

"I am currently the Court Intelligence Officer of Her Majesty the Wolf Maiden, and I have confirmed that I have one more difficult opponent at the 'business level'! Old Edward and his clan bowed down to King Louis, and it was inevitable that they would operate even more vigorously in the shadows of the Plantagenet Kingdom!

Alas, it's getting harder and harder.

However, we need to be more dedicated, and as a member of the royal family of the Nordov Kingdom, my Majesty needs me to weaken potential enemies in order to lay the foundation for future rivalries between the two countries in various fields.

Is this reason enough? ”

"That's right."

Tracy nodded in satisfaction and said:

"You can agree in principle, but what are you going to do?"

"Let's wait until the time is right."

Shani gently held out her hand to Tracey.

The Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture also took off his gloves and held them with Xia Ni, and the moment the two white and graceful fingers closed, a drop of blood spilled from the palm of each of them and fused, and then separated back into the two of them.

The Pact of the Holy Blood has been completed!

Of course, this contract is not binding on the Golden Tier Bloodline, but both Triss and Shani can realize that the union is not harmful to them.

The wolf venom clan, which is getting more and more jumping at the moment, really needs to be repaired!

This is the rule of the Bloodline!

Whenever a certain clan is too strong, there will always be other clans that unite to suppress it, well, this is a sacred tradition!

"Where's Niu Niu?"

Changed into his beloved midnight hunter uniform, Xiao Wei Ming, who was about to participate in the first embrace ceremony, chewed maltose and asked Sister Pomegranate, who was also wearing a ceremonial uniform, curiously.

Sister Pomegranate pursed her lips, pointed to the top of her head, and said:

"Talking to the NPC he rescued, anyway, how do I feel that my stinky brother seems to have a very unusual relationship with that NPC?

Did I think too much about it? ”

At the same time, the entrance to the Cloister of the Blood Vulture.

"Are you really determined to become a vampire?"

The frail Lady Amber is still trying to keep her warrior Niu Niu, but the fact that the latter has changed into a Midnight Hunter dress represents Niu Niu's decision.

Not far behind Niu Niu, there are also his two younger brothers, namely Khaki Tony Tai and Mud Luda Oil in the same dormitory, these two sports students also completed the elite challenge yesterday morning with the help of the new tactics developed by Brother Bang.

This will make the two of them talk strange things one after another, and the expression on their faces is very, very "cheap".

In the face of Ms. Anbo's retention, Niu Niu didn't feel anything strange, and he said to the worried Anbo in the tone of treating his friends:

"Haven't we discussed this topic before?

Don't worry, being a vampire doesn't mean I'm going to be a monster, that's just a choice of power! With strength, you can achieve your ambitions!

Although I don't know what my ambitions are.

But I've made an appointment with other friends, and I can't withdraw at this time. ”

"Just because of the agreement? Are you going to venture into the night, and endure the temptations of darkness until one day you are corrupted and degenerate into a true evil? ”

Anbo said with some excitement:

"You deserve a better life! You're such a good young man."

"Shall we make a pact then?"

When Niu Niu saw that the time was almost up, he said to Ms. Ambo:

"You're a witch hunter, a warrior who specializes in hunting evil spirits, so if one day I fall into what you see as an evil spirit, then how about you kill me with your own hands?"

Ms. Amber fell silent.

After several seconds, she reached out and shook Niu Niu's hand, and she threatened in a low voice:

"Then you'd better control yourself, my warrior, if one day I learn that you're a monster, my arrows won't show mercy to your men!"

"Well, let's just say so."

Niu Niu also grinned.

Then, under Ambo's worried gaze, he turned around and walked into the cloister with two of his friends, who were still talking about things like "paper man" and "wife" that Amber didn't understand.

But the relationship between Niu Niu and Ms. Amp is indeed just friends!

Well, at least for now.
