In the practice area specially opened up by the Blood Vulture Corridor, Murphy, who had just finished today's "fencing training", came out and encountered a group of young players "blocking" him.

These guys all looked excited, and each of them had a staff and sword that still had a bloody smell in their hands.

Murphy knew right away what they were coming for.

It's time to try your luck here, but since these guys have swords in their hands, it means that a group of wolf thugs must have died at their hands.

That's a good thing!

Since his warriors have removed several major troubles for themselves, he naturally can't do anything as the governor of Transnesia.

Isn't it just a hidden mission?

To give!

Give generously!

One person for one!

The province was seen by other game players and thought that my cute little players couldn't do the task.

"Well, the staff sword from the Wolf Poison Clan, a vicious and delicate weapon, requires a special method to use well, they call it the Wolf Claw, and they name their secret sword technique 'Wolf Kiss'.

I sometimes wonder if these guys, who are known for their wolves, really don't fit the tradition of vampires.

Obviously, the symbol of our presence under midnight should be bats. ”

Murphy took the staff sword handed by Sister Pomegranate and pulled it out casually, and flipped his wrist to make a standard chic wolf's kiss swordsmanship, and its blade flew and pulled out a wide arc, and a cold aura passed on the buzzing blade.

This hand made Sister Pomegranate and Brother Cat look straight in the eyes.

They are professionals, so they can naturally understand the gold content of this move, so Lord Murphy, who is always elusive, is actually a hidden "martial arts master", right?

"Wolf's Kiss, the most skilled swordsmanship in melee combat and group combat in the Blood Clan, is a ferocious technique tailored to the exaggerated muscles and strength of the Wolf Venom Clan, although I can too, but I'm just a beginner in this way.

I did not intend to pass on the martial arts of this enemy, but for a warrior who has already won a victory, no amount of knowledge can praise your contributions. ”

Murphy said very nice things as usual, saying that he didn't plan to teach, but in fact, he took out the "Wolf's Kiss" swordsmanship codex that had been prepared long ago from his psionic bag, and handed it to his cute and powerful little players.

His understanding of this sword art is currently at the mastery level, so the codex he gives is enough for young players to practice it to the mastery level.

Considering how difficult it is to level up advanced swordsmanship, this is enough for young players to practice for a long time.

"Go, make good use of this power from the enemy!"

Murphy smiled and distributed the Codex to everyone in front of him, one for each person, making the players smile.

Sure enough, their guess was correct!

The human development team really designed a special set of skills for this unique and exclusive drop, so why don't you hurry up and post it on the forum? This secret information is that as long as you get the wolf poison staff sword, you can exchange it for the corresponding skill codex from Master Murphy.

This also seems to announce that the way to obtain special skills in this game may be to get similar "tokens".

Sure enough, among the NPCs currently appearing in the game, it is still Lord Murphy who has the most conscience! Other NPCs have to charge money to teach skills, but Master Murphy doesn't want anything, and the skill codex says to give it.

Seeing his little players leave satisfied, Murphy's mood also improved today, he was about to leave with his hands behind his back, but saw Brother Cat and Sister Pomegranate turn around and walk back.

"My lord! We want to challenge you. ”

Brother Mao hugged his fists and said sincerely:

"We want to see the supreme skills of the Blood Vulture Clan."

"Well, I'm not aggressive, my warriors."

Murphy shook his head without blinking his eyes and said:

"Of course, I don't deny that I'm a proud person, and I don't have so much time to practice swordsmanship with you because of my busy schedule, but if you can get the approval of my subordinates, I'm willing to spend some time on this."

"Ding"

The sound of the task triggering sounded in front of the eyes of the two aggressive men, who looked down:

【Challenge Quest · The supreme pursuit of combat skills' has been triggered!

Mission Description: They recklessly challenged Lord Murphy, but the friendly Doge was not angry with the warriors' abruptness, he was always gentle and peaceful.

However, it is not so easy to get the Doge of Transencia to take the time to test your martial arts, after all, this haughty soul.

You'll need to get the approval of Lord Murphy's samurai before you're eligible to challenge him.

Objective: Obtain four of the seven letters of recommendation from Baron Maxim, Baroness Adele, Baron Hunting Couder, Count of the White Mountain Andrea, Arrow of the Moon Leania, Vulture Knight, and Countess Andelmar to challenge Master Murphy.

Duration of the mandate: 3 months.

Quest Rewards: Recognition from Lord Murphy and his rewards for outstanding warriors.

Special Rewards: If you persist in challenging Murphy-sama to his satisfaction, you will receive the special title "Champion of Translasia" and the trench coat of the Limited Costume Midnight Challenger.

Prompt!

This is a 'Challenge' mission and does not require winning all objectives, but requires the target to show recognition and appreciation for your martial arts in order to receive a letter of recommendation.

Prompt!

The maximum number of participants in this task is 40, and the current number of participants is: 2. 】

Master Murphy, who casually sent a message that it was impossible to complete the task, said goodbye to the two "fault-finding" little players with a smile on his face, and then floated away.

Only Brother Cat and Sister Pomegranate were left looking at each other.

"So, the premise of challenging Lord Murphy is that we have to clear all the strong people in the territory?"

Sister Pomegranate exclaimed:

"And who is this 'Vulture Knight'? I've never heard of him! Is this a strong NPC that hasn't appeared yet? ”

"It is estimated that the follow-up plot will be refreshed."

Brother Cat looked at the task in front of him that was almost beyond the sky, and he rubbed his chin and said to Sister Pomegranate:

"But have you ever thought about a question, if the difficulty of challenging Lord Murphy is still above these seven people, doesn't it mean that Lord Murphy's hidden strength is stronger than these seven people?

Mistress Kudell and Miss Femiss are true Silver Rank! Mistress Murphy is still just a black iron vampire, right? ”

"Rank does not mean combat effectiveness! That's just a summary and induction of the different forms of life. ”

Sister Pomegranate pouted and said:

"How else did we survive our Black Iron Trial? Isn't it normal for a mainline NPC like him to be strong? Forget it, let's share the task.

This kind of challenge task makes ordinary players not come to join in the fun, and it is a waste of places. ”

"You go and say, do you think they are willing?"

Brother Cat sighed and said:

"It's a game, who can admit to their own dishes?"

"If you are not convinced, you will be killed!"

Sister Pomegranate crossed her arms and said nonchalantly:

"If you can beat me at the Fight Club, I'll share the mission with him."

"That's not good, according to your standards, few people can get a sharing place."

Brother Cat shook his head and said:

"Let my four brothers fight with them, if you can beat my brother, it means that you are not an ordinary player, you can't be so domineering, you must always give others a little sense of participation."

"You want to care?"

Sister Pomegranate rolled her eyes, turned around and left without saying yes or no.

Brother Cat shrugged his shoulders, sighed in his heart that this tigress was really not easy to mess with, and then sent a message to his brother asking them to come to him and have something good for them.

Murphy, for his part, isn't worried about his cute little players being scared by the terrifying difficulty of this mission.

He knows the character of the players very well, they always like to do something challenging and have fun doing it, isn't that how the Achievement Party and the All Collect Party come about?

After returning to the office, Murphy pondered for a moment, and felt that what he had just done could actually be a little more "exciting", why not simply make a "side quest" with enough content?

Well, the seven powerhouses are not something you can challenge if you want to, they should also have their own side quests combined to form a super large and complex "super quest chain", just like the three dragon quest lines when Angela opened the door.

Only in this way can the heavyweight and epic sense of this task be reflected.

"Gotta plan it out!"

The more Murphy thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he pulled open the drawer and pulled out his notebook.

He's a dog planner!

He is responsible for enriching the game career of the little players, and by the way, he calls on the little players to move forward in the direction of "full of martial arts".

In this way, you can be like a real Translancian!

However, Murphy didn't forget to get down to business, and after making a rough mission diagram, he took out his core orb and leaned back in his chair to send a communication request to a special communication band.

Half a minute later, the request was answered.

His Excellency Valland, the "Vulture Knight", who was far away in the mountains and forests of the Earl of Sico, shouted in a rude voice very unpleasantly:

"Didn't I say it all? I don't have any interest in the union you propose! Lord Murphy, and that's not something I'm a loyal knight should worry about, my monarch is thinking about it!

Don't you understand the meaning of the word 'consider'? ”

"No, no, Knight Valland, I just wanted to inform you that I'm planning to hold a super cool knight tournament in my territory, and let the 40 bravest warriors under my command challenge the best in my territory, and I want to ask if you would be interested in being one of the seven 'judges'."

Murphy looked at the task icon in his notebook and said:

"You're a knight, you should be keen on this kind of activity, right?"

"Ah, war games? Well, I'm really interested, but not right now! ”

Murphy has been in occasional contact with this vulture knight these days, and the two are not as angry as before, after hearing Murphy's invitation, the vulture knight was first interested, but then complained:

"We've been busy these days!

It's all to blame for you Cadmans for their extensive hunting out of the gnolls, causing those bastards to run away to the county of Sico, and we need to expel them. ”

"Leave them there."

Murphy said nonchalantly:

"After I have disposed of the gnolls of the Eldem Hills, my warriors and my soldiers will go to the county of Sico to settle the last remaining gnolls in Transasia.

The warlords of the Under Armour Hills are ready for war.

Its army has begun to march on the Earldom of Cadman, and war is imminent. Speaking of which, aren't you and your hussars going to join in the fun?

You see, I've made it clear before that the cleanup of the gnolls is related to whether the black plague can survive safely, and it is closely related to the future of the entire Translancia region.

You and your monarch may not recognize my rule, but you must not pretend that the threat of the Scourge does not exist.

Therefore, I hereby make a formal invitation to you and your monarch to join the battle that will surely go down in history as the Earldom of Cadman is about to take on a decisive battle with the army of the Gnolls!

You are also a member of this land, and your monarch is actually qualified to compete for the position of governor of Transnesia, is he not tempted at all? ”

"I can't give you an answer, although I'm interested in this war myself."

The Vulture Knight replied in a low tone:

"But I can understand what you mean, and I will pass on your thoughts to my sovereign, and it is none of my business as to what kind of response he will make. As for the judges of that knight competition, leave me a place!

If you survive the Gnoll War, I'll be happy to fight your warriors, and the Transans are not afraid of a challenge! ”

"Very well, then I'll wait for good news in Crimson Keep."

Murphy cut off the communication in satisfaction.

And in the northernmost mountains and forests of the county of Sico, the vulture knight Valand also put down the orb of arithmetic that he had used more and more skillfully.

Murphy's "call" came at the right time, because Valand would be discussing the matter with his sovereign.

The tall bear-like knight knelt beside a desk and looked at the lord in front of him, waiting for the latter to speak, and there was no one else in the traditional tent.

The legacy of Count Sico was preserved in the war, but at a terrible cost, the entire county system was completely destroyed, and even the last successor of Count Sico could only have the last hussars.

"Let's go!"

A calm, somewhat babyish tone sounded in the tent.

The owner of the voice said in a deep voice:

"We can't hesitate any longer, Earl Cadman has shown enough patience and respect, and I believe he is sincere in this matter, and he is right! The Black Plague may be a feared legend to people in other regions, but for us, it's a matter of life and death.

Everyone in this land is responsible for this, and if I want to take back the land of my ancestors and rebuild the glory of the Sico family, then I must be involved.

Valland, we're taking all the hussars and recruits to the Cadman County for a showdown between the Vulture Clan and the Gnolls!

I.

I will go with you! ”

"Nope! No way. ”

Valand immediately refused:

"You're too young to even ride a horse, and if we're going to get involved in the war in the Earldom of Cadman as scheduled, all the knights have to go at full speed for four or five days, which is quite a terrible ordeal.

You can't hold on.

You will remain in this mountain forest blessed by our ancestors, waiting for the news of our triumphant return. ”

"I'm not asking for your opinion, Valander. Uncle! ”

The heir to the Count of Sico, who should not have been very old, said loudly:

"I am commanding you in my capacity as the count's daughter, this is the first meeting of one lord against another, and I must be present.

We hate to admit it, but the fact is that our woodlands are also coveted!

Not only does Count Cadman need our political support to gain dominion over Translasia, but we also need his military support to protect our sacred forests.

You can't do that.

Your mind can't think of such complicated things, so I have to follow you.

I'm small, just sit in front of your warhorse, just like you escaped from Sike City with me before, we ran for seven days and seven nights, didn't I survive it? ”

"You lost an arm that time! Oh my God, don't let me remember that guilt again. ”

"Uncle Valander, this is the fate of our Sikos! Take me there, I have to go! ”
