(Add more for the "Little Empty Water to Drink" brother [1/5])

At this time, it was already night, a pair of blood wings that were wider and more chic than Murphy's memory flapped, and the still petite eldest lady was flying towards her own people, and the wind blew, and then a dashing, "death airborne" style unique to the blood vulture clan landed.

The black-haired silhouette seemed to be the same as it had been when she left a few days ago, but Murphy keenly noticed that she seemed to be a little taller.

From his chest to his shoulder, but still a pathetic little man.

"You've grown taller?"

Mrs. Triss also asked suspiciously, which proved that Murphy's eyesight was very good and he was not blinded by changing to a "real-time strategy player".

"Well, Lord Pa Ying helped me retrace the power of the bloodline, and when I broke through the silver level, I could have purified the blood of the sin descendant again, in fact, it could have been a little higher, but I was used to this appearance, so I controlled it."

The eldest lady replied with the same calm appearance as before.

But compared to the indifference that once rejected people thousands of miles away, now she has a lot of gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes, which is more like a jump out of her age, although the actual age of the eldest lady is already 30.

She glanced at Adele again, winked at her best friend, then took a deep breath and bowed to Trisy and said:

"Silver Psionic Master Fimis Cecilia Lesenbra, salute and report to you, Your Excellency, please allow me to return to the family sequence."

"Of course, Count Andelmar, Transencia will always be your homeland, and we need your strength now."

Tracey played with the luxurious serenade cane in her hand, and said with great style and majesty.

After Salokdal's death, her resentment towards her past has dissipated, and she can finally have a heartfelt conversation with the girl in front of her.

"Hats off, Countess."

Murphy also bowed and said:

"The county of Cadman has begun to rebuild, and given the threat of the Black Plague, the rebuilding of your realm may be delayed for some time."

"I don't care, Murphy."

Philimis shook his head and said:

"The Understory Hills have never been a prosperous place, in fact the whole of Translasia, and the rest of the world calls us poor mountains and bad waters, and the saddest thing is that we can't even find a reason to justify our homeland

It's a terrible place indeed.

And now, the ravages of ten years of war have made it no different from the Savage Lands, and besides, I'm not very good at managing and leading, so a title is enough, and I'd better continue to have you, the governor of Transnesia, represent my territory. ”

As soon as Femis's words fell, Murphy's lord system refreshed the message:

[The new escrow territory 'Under Armour' has been added, please patrol the party territory as soon as possible to collect information about specific territories.] Translancia has been updated to 2/3, and the county of Sico in the northern part of the region has not yet been explored. 】

"Ugh."

Murphy sighed inwardly.

It's a good thing to get the new territory that is under trusteeship, but he now lacks manpower at hand, not only the number of small players, but also the administrators who can entrust the responsibilities.

Miriam had already written to her classmates about sending them to Port Chardo through the Capets to recruit as many professionals as possible, and Professor Malcolm had promised to invite some students and friends over.

But with the "good name" of the Translancia region.

Truth be told, even if the temptation to give titles and power generously in return, Murphy didn't have much hope.

Although it is said that stud is a kind of wisdom, and there is an old saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of the ox, considering that the people from the other world do not understand Chinese, it is difficult to say that there are no warriors in the administrative department of the Chardeau Craftsman University who are willing to risk being killed by the black disaster to come to Transnesia to "participate in the grand event" with Murphy.

"Don't frown, Murphy, I've brought the aid of Lord Pa Ying and the Blood Alliance Clan."

The eldest lady seemed to guess Murphy's troubles, she smiled and pointed to the convoy behind her, a full ten cars were loaded with various supplies from the Blood Alliance Knights, as well as some sophisticated armor weapons, dwarven firearms and various alchemy materials.

The most exaggerated thing is that the last two cars are equipped with some small machine tools.

It was something that was used to make some precision tools, and among them was a small bullet processing machine, which Lord Pa Ying had specially allocated from the logistics of the Blood Alliance Knights.

It may not be of much use, but it is really a relief for the current Translasia! That alone was enough to make Murphy feel grateful to the Lord Pa Ying who he hadn't met yet.

In addition to the supplies, there were also 30 Blood Alliance Knights and 60 Armed Blood Servants who arrived with the convoy, to be precise, the Reserve Blood Knights and their servants who were undergoing the knight examination.

There is no such thing as a "blood servant" within the Blood Alliance Knights, although in the eyes of other blood clans, there is basically no big difference between armed blood servants and blood servants.

These knights were sent to support the construction and restoration of order in Translasia, and the Black Iron Rank Elite Monster of One Water was led by a Silver Rank Scout Knight, and those knights and servants were also human warriors of the Black Iron Rank, and Murphy could not see the flattery and weakness unique to other blood servants in their eyes.

This is enough to prove that Lord Pa Ying is indeed very good at leading his troops, and he must have armed the hearts of these human beings who obey vampires with some noble ideals and hopes.

"Hats off, Grand Duke Blooddulture."

The scout knight on the scarlet steed dismounted, gave a knightly salute to Tracey, and then took off his helmet to reveal long chestnut hair.

Yo, she's a tall and slender vampire girl, and the rhodium-cesium-beryllium players will love it, but the overly slender body and the iconic pointed ears and delicate face that don't look like humans all mean it

Is this an elven vampire?

Tsk, or a Salein? Rare breeds!

Murphy blinked.

Lady Adele beside him directly grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist, and it was obvious that as a half-elf, she was full of hostility to all elves.

This little gesture did not hide from the scout knight with the blood-colored warbow on his back, but she didn't care, and only reported to Lady Triss with a solemn expression:

"The Third Lord of the Blood Alliance Knights, 'Arrow of Punishment' Yvette Liad Cappadocia's Reconnaissance Pioneer Captain Leania Galanod Cappadocia, reports to you! By order of Lord Pa Ying and Lady Yvette, I and my thirty reserve knights and their servants will be on duty in Transnesia!

Help the Blood Vulture Clan restore order to their rule and territory, as well as help them train recruits and organize defenses until the end of the Black Plague.

During this time, we will be controlled by you and the lord of the Translancian region. ”

"Very well, Captain, I thank you for coming, and I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Lord Pa Ying and Miss Yvette."

Tracey responded politely, but then she stared at the tall and heroic archer with chestnut waist-length hair in front of her, and said in a curious tone:

"Your last name was 'Garranord'? So, you're from the Moon Elf royal family? ”

"It doesn't mean anything to me before, Grand Duke Tris, from the moment I joined the Knights of the Blood Alliance one hundred and ten years ago, I was only a descendant of Cappadocia."

The elven vampire archer in front of her gave a standard arrogant Spawn answer, but when she put on the Knights of the Blood Alliance's standard Nightbat Helmet again, she glanced at Lady Adele beside Murphy with her scarlet-dotted amber eyes.

She uttered an elven grunt, and then mounted her horse and returned to the convoy as a soldier.

But a few of the vampires here are "well-educated"! Even the most uneducated Murphy had a language translator from the test administrators, and they all understood the meaning of Leania's elven phrase.

"A bastard from the shadows."

This sentence made Adele break her defense.

If it weren't for Murphy's venerable being by her side, she was afraid that she would have to draw her sword on the spot and fight hard.

"You go first, and we'll follow."

Murphy said to Triss and Femis.

The eldest lady was a little worried, but she returned to the convoy under the guidance of Trissy's eyes.

Adele is of Murphy's descent, and this is a conversation between their elders and their heirs, even if the eldest lady already sees Lady Adele as a sister who grew up together, she is not qualified to participate in it until Murphy finishes talking.

That's all there is to the old rules of the vampire family, just like the old lady's footwrap, annoying! It's no wonder that the Wolf Poison Clan no longer recognizes these broken rules.

Watching the convoy continue towards the Crimson Keep, Murphy waved his hand in the darkness at the edge of the dark barony's realm, allowing the blood-eating vulture, which had been flying high in the sky, to continue to scout around.

Then he turned his head to look back at Lady Adele, who had her head bowed and said nothing.

He said:

"I've always heard that the relationship between the shadow elves and the other elves of the three clans is very poor, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, how can the hatred between you, the four elven clans, be more complicated than the vampire clans that are the best at infighting?"

"I'm not an elf! Master, I never wanted to be an elf. ”

Probably because of the emotion in her heart, Mrs. Adele's tone at this time was not as submissive as before.

She stared angrily at the territory in front of her, which was already nominally hers, because the violent emotional fluctuations caused the staggering scale of her chest to rise and fall, and after a few seconds of silence, she let out a long sigh, pointed in the direction of the dark mountain range ahead, and said to Murphy:

"Fifty years ago, it was from here that my mother set out into the Dark Mountains. Originally from Sico, she is said to be the daughter of a baron, but she was adventurous from an early age, and as an adult, she joined the Halflings' Explorers Guild with honors.

It wasn't her first trip to the Dark Mountains, but her original mission wasn't to the Eternal Rift, where the Shadow Elves were.

Her mission was to help the Tower of the Ring collect some psionic samples from the outskirts of the Dark Mountains, but the unexpected soon happened, as she encountered a slave trap of the Shadow Elves Mejewa while observing a rare tribe of goatmen.

She could have escaped.

But her hopelessly explorer nature led her to a desperate situation.

She was taken back to the Eternal Rift, where she thought she could have used her eloquence to finish a conversation with the Shadow Elves' mastermother, but the savage Shadow Elves didn't give her that chance at all and threw her into the Colosseum.

Only then did she know what kind of stupid mistake she had made.

If it weren't for my father helping her all the time, she wouldn't even survive the first year and would have died of all kinds of torture! ”

Mrs. Adele has never told anyone else about her specific background, and even Miss Femis doesn't know, but tonight she was broken by the "elf compatriots", and the trusted elder was by her side, so that Mrs. Adele finally confided in her heart those past traumas that she had been reluctant to mention.

Murphy didn't ask or interrupt, he just listened patiently.

He knew that all Adele needed now was to listen.

"My father was also a slave, and his experience in that cursed land was no different from that of my stupid mother, but he was a half-elf, half-elf in the truest sense of the word. His mother, my grandmother, was a huntress of the Winter Wolf Legion who had fallen to the Shadow Elves during the Fourth Plague, and had my father after a debaucherous humiliation.

My father was born in the Colosseum, and three months after he was born, my grandmother died in battle with the beasts of the dark lands.

My father's luck was good, he inherited the intelligence of humans and the dexterity of elves, so he was favored and adopted by a samurai captain of the Mejewa family, and he lived as a slave from an early age until he became a powerful fighter.

By the time my mother was thrown into the Colosseum, he was already the king of fighters of the Mejewa family.

His fame even spread throughout the Thirteen Shadow Elves of the Eternal Rift, and the hated elves called him 'Hydra' as a way to describe his martial arts.

I don't know why my father sheltered my mother, maybe it was love? But the price comes at the cruel demands of the Shadow Elves, who must shoulder the weight of two gladiators.

My father agreed, and it wasn't a difficult thing for him to do in terms of skill and martial arts.

My mother lived in Mejewa for ten years under my father's protection, a 23-year-old fool explorer when she went, but ten years later she was a still naïve idiot.

I hate her stupidity!

Not only because she put herself in danger, but also because my father ended up losing his life because of her.

Unlike her father, who had become accustomed to the Eternal Rift and considered it home, her mother had been trying to escape, and she had used her father's prestige among slave gladiators to form a secret group.

My father didn't approve of her venture, but my mother went her own way.

The cunning woman took advantage of her father's love for her, and she tricked him into achieving her goal, and when the mistress of House Esine came to visit one day, according to the custom of the Shadow Elves, a gladiator tournament between the two families was to be presented to the honored guests.

My mother thought she had jumped at the chance.

She asks her father to cause chaos in the gladiatorial arena and use the opening of the family city on that day to lead the slaves out of the Eternal Rift.

But the father knew that her plan would not work at all!

She underestimated the prophecies of the Maiden of the Mejewa family's life-weaver for the future, perhaps it was all under the control of the cruel elven mistress, or perhaps it was just a cruel drama about freedom and escape that the Majeva mistress dedicated to the Mistress of Esine.

That's what the shadow elves love to do, they brutally inoculate their slaves with the fantasy of 'freedom', and then ruthlessly extinguish it, as a way to watch and enjoy the pain of their mental breakdowns. ”

Lady Adele's tone was low, hoarse and grief-stricken.

Murphy, knowing that the story was about to take a turn, reached out and put his hand on his heir's shoulder, and whispered:

"But your mother succeeded, I guess because your father made an unexpected sacrifice?"

"I don't know."

Adele whispered:

"No one told me about my father's fate, but as you say, the escape went unusually well that day, and my mother, who had just given birth to me less than two months ago, led the unwilling slave gladiators out of Mejewa City.

But that's not a gift of fate.

When her father said goodbye to her, he told her to wait for him at the entrance to the Eternal Rift for three days, and if he didn't show up, it would mean that he would be returned to the Dark Sanctuary of Avalon.

My mother waited seven days.

It was only then that she realized what the price of her freedom had been, and that the man who loved her the most in the world had given everything he could for her foolish ideas.

She had nowhere to go.

She could only take those slave gladiators with her to try to return to the place where she was born.

I don't know what happened, but Mother did not cross the filthy swamp, but discovered the hidden valley I told you about in the barren mountains, and led the gladiators who saw her as their leader to survive there.

They were all half-elves, poor people who were rebuked as 'mongrels' and were not accepted by the two races, and we had to huddle there to keep warm.

But when I was ten years old, a group of hungry gnolls and trolls attacked our valley, and my mother died fighting to fend off the invasion, and by that time she had gone from being a professional explorer to a sincere Avalon believer.

I escaped from that chaos, escorted through the filthy swamp by my mother's cronies, Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice.

Their intention was to send me back to Sico City to my grandfather and grandmother in accordance with my mother's wishes, but there was something terrible in the filthy swamp, and my uncle and aunt buried my bones there to protect me, so I had to stumble back to Transcia alone.

The people in the border villages didn't accept me, they saw me as ominous.

I was tired and hungry, I was beaten half to death for stealing, and if I hadn't met the eldest lady, I would have died there."

"But you didn't return to Sico City."

Murphy Says:

"You don't seem willing to obey your mother's arrangement?"

"Why should I obey?"

Adele, who has always been docile, asked a rare rhetorical question at this moment:

"Is there anything in my mother's life that deserves my obedience? All her tragedies stem from her naivety and stupidity! The only thing to praise is the pursuit of freedom, but look at what she has done for what she has thrown away and wanted to recover!

I respect my father more than she did.

I believe that my father died that day not only because of his love for my mother, but also because of my father's death, who never intended to leave the Eternal Rift, died for me.

That man doesn't want me, he doesn't want his daughter to live the same life as him!

What is the appeal to me about a family that can teach my mother a fool?

I'd rather follow the eldest lady and be her servant.

Of course, I visited Sico once when it was devastated by the plague, but as I expected, the family had long since died out of history, their coat of arms before the outbreak of the Ten Years' War.

At this point, the last contact between me and my mother has dissipated, and it makes me feel very relaxed.

I'm Adele, the master.

My name is Bella Bernice Adele!

My name comes from my father's final parting gift and blessing, as well as from two elders who gave their lives to protect me, both of whom deserve my respect.

But there was nothing to do with my mother.

I loathe her.

I don't want to be like her and only drag others down, that's all. ”

There was silence in the night.

After a few seconds, Murphy took out a handkerchief and handed it to Adele, whispering:

"If it weren't for the fact that vampires don't shed tears, I'm afraid you'd have cried, and the world is obviously not gentle enough with us, pretending to wipe the tears of pain and sorrow from your hearts. Do you need me and the eldest lady to help you beat up that arrogant archer knight? We'd love to do so. ”

"No, I'm not so uncomfortable because she called me a bastard."

Lady Adele pursed her lips.

She held a handkerchief and whispered:

"I just suddenly remembered the past, I was a half-elf of a quarter blood, neither a human, nor a descendant of darkness, nor a forest, and now not even a world under the sun.

My identity is too complicated.

I don't even know how to plan me into the system of this world.

Murphy-sama, do you feel that way?

It's like being abandoned by the world. ”

"Yes."

Murphy put his hands behind his back and looked at the night sky in the distance, and he said:

"It's called a vampire. Eternal sinner, who will never be accepted, but I bear the malice of the world without even knowing what sin we have committed. Who else in this world could be worse than us? ”
