The Blood Vulture Corridor is much more lively today than before, and the reason for this is probably because of the new NPCs.

Not to mention that the Little Earl of Sharon brings players valuable knowledge of steam engineering, just the guns with special entries and some unique engineering items that she sells in her personal shop are enough to catch the attention of young players.

After all, in a real-life game, even the most arrogant spellcaster player won't refuse to keep a gun in his bag that could save his dog's life at a critical moment.

Not to mention those melee fighters who always have to perform the "knife point dance", it is already their consensus to carry a gun that can shoot at the waist with them.

The "Reeda Sword Technique" is really not very good, but it is really useful.

"My day! Brother loyalty, you left-handed chicken is cool! ”

Lin Beigou, who came to purchase firearms and weapons for the team, was picking and choosing, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the loyal brother who helped the little Earl of Sharon with accessories as a "mechanic apprentice".

"Haha, cool, right? I paid a lot of money to buy it! ”

Brother Loyalty's face was red at this time.

He proudly flaunted his "mechanical left hand", which was composed entirely of metal in the operation of the psionic motion sensing technique, and the arms with three miniature steam furnaces inside that acted as energy were very flexible.

Although there is still a sense of sluggishness in movement compared to the flesh and blood, as Brother Zhong's five fingers move, the clicking joints are still full of some kind of oppressive force.

Especially when the power of the steam furnace is increased during a wide range of activities, a white column of air will erupt from the exhaust hole at the shoulder.

Not to mention how cool it is!

What man would say no to such a thing? What man isn't confused when he sees it?

Lin Beigou immediately went up and circled around Brother Loyal twice, and reached out to touch it, the latter was like showing off his newly acquired toy, raising his arm to pop out the assassination sword for a while, and extending the mouth hidden in the palm of his hand, and also unfolding the mechanical round shield attached to the steam prosthetic limb to make a few tactical moves.

The dog planer who watched it called out to the slot, and some of the little players next to him were also attracted to come over and be amazed.

But soon, sharp-eyed guys noticed that Brother Zhong's right hand was very strange.

There's also a manipulator there, but it's nowhere near as precise as the left arm, with a very rough three-claw structure like a pirate captain's hook, which smells like "shoddy" no matter how you look at it.

In this regard, Brother Zhongzhong refused to make any response, and only prevaricated in the name of "practicing engineering".

Of course, he wouldn't tell the others that he had made a fuss before, and gave himself a knife in order to install a mechanical prosthetic, if it weren't for the spare mechanical hand that Sharon had here, Brother Loyal would continue his game career as a "disabled person" or simply give his head a look and wait for a new life in three days.

But Brother Loyal is indeed not nonsense.

He was learning how to make a robot from the Earl of Sharon, and used his right hand, which he lost due to an "accident", as his first experiment.

The only pity is that this thing is quite troublesome to make, just rubbing a miniature steam stove by hand is enough for Brother Zhong to be busy.

"It's new, it's new, it's all out of the way!"

Brother Loyal saw that all the firearms on the stall were sold out, but immediately followed the instructions of the Countl of Sharon to put a new batch of Seiko weapons on the shelves.

As a result, Xiao Wang, a traveling scholar who had just run over to buy himself a firearm, jumped three feet high on the spot when he saw the price, and he scolded:

"! 20 gold coins for a gun? Why don't you go and grab it? I'm only buying 2 gold coins in the camp, okay? ”

"Then you go to the camp and buy it! Why did you come here? ”

Brother Loyalty moved his cool manipulator, crossed his waist and said:

"Can the whiteboard gear be the same as this entry goodie?

I told you, don't be too expensive, now in the whole of Translasia, only our master and apprentice can make this kind of precision firearms, and charging you 20 gold coins is already very cheap, right?

If it's really too expensive, you can go to Mama Marianne to customize it, it's cheap on her side. ”

"It's cheap, but it's going to wait."

You scholar Xiao Wang scratched his head helplessly and said:

"The brothers are about to go to the collective farm to perform their duties, although there are guards to protect them, but they don't have the good guys in their hands, and the hellish place of Transncia is full of gnolls, and occasionally ghouls will come out.

Forget it, 20 is 20, give me four!

You can give me a cheaper ammunition money, and give me a 7% discount. ”

"Okay!"

Brother Loyal shouted, feeling in his heart that it was too easy to make money from this manufacturing industry.

The Earl of Sharon priced each gun at 15 gold, and he bought it from her at the original price, and then easily resold it to earn the difference of 5 gold coins.

Sure enough, it is still a monopoly business.

Here sent away Xiao Zhou, a traveling scholar who shook his head and complained about profiteers, and Brother Zhong picked up an unfinished picture again, and was not very skilled in holding the charcoal pen with a mechanical hand to write and draw.

He also has a hidden mission of "Otherworldly Skyfire", this old brother is holding back his strength to give Master Murphy the whole job, although the modern style of rifles and bullets have been made, but if it is only to this extent, how can it reflect his awesomeness?

He planned to come up with a little more "punishment" before the deadline of the mission, and now with the help of the mechanical engineer of the little Earl of Sharon, many of the ideas that Brother Loyal couldn't do before have been realized.

However, before he finished his drawing, he saw a money bag thrown on the counter.

Brother Loyal looked up and saw that a new guest had arrived, but it was not a player but an NPC.

Andrey, Count of the White Mountain!

This melancholy northern poet was picking up a Seiko shotgun with a bayonet and playing with it in his hand, and because he was a big guy who was not bad for money, he ordered 100 in one go.

I didn't even ask about the unit price.

But this also aroused the curiosity of Brother Loyalty, and while recording the order requirements, he asked:

"Lord Andrey, you and your followers are excellent midnight assassins, and firearms, which make noises and are inconvenient to carry, are not suitable for you, so why do you want so many weapons?"

"Use it for the Blood Servants of my faction."

Count Baishan replied in a calm tone:

"A new group of Blood Servants will soon arrive in Translasia, and they will join the strife that will come after this land in the name of the White Mountain faction, and they will sacrifice everything for their country and honor under the Black Plague.

As a leader, I naturally have to equip my minions with the best weapons possible. ”

"Ah, I see!"

Brother Loyal nodded, then rolled his eyes, and he asked:

"Do you need another 'disability insurance' for your minions? I mean, vampires don't worry about missing arms and legs, and you can heal yourself at midnight, but human blood servants are not immune to this possible risk, and my mentor, Earl Sharon, happens to be an expert in this.

Look! ”

He showed his manipulator again, and after a few moves to show its performance, he said to Count Andrew, who showed a curious expression:

"All it takes is a mechanical arm or leg to return your crippled minions to the battlefield to kill your enemies until their human bodies can't withstand any more fighting, and then they can embrace them at midnight.

I'm guessing that a good ruler like you must have to balance talent and loyalty when choosing his minions, so let the gifted blood servants show their loyalty in battle, and finally give the lord an affirmation and a midnight blessing as a reward for loyalty.

What a beautiful thing!

All you need is a simple disability insurance!

Yes, for a small fee, your minions will be able to enjoy engineering assistance from the Earl of Sharon, and we can guarantee that they will continue to fight for you as long as they can breathe, using the Glorious War as their last days as a human to forge a formidable vampire bloodline."

"Ahh

Brother Loyalty's statement surprised Count Andrew, he looked at Brother Loyalty's mechanical arm with some emotion, but then lowered his voice and asked:

"Wouldn't that be too inhumane? Ask them to fight until the last moment to get the Midnight Blessing."

"But the rewards that can be obtained casually are something that no one will cherish."

Brother Loyal shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Of course, you can mercifully bestow midnight glory on those Blood Servants who have not gone through any trials, and expect that they will not fail you in a treacherous manner.

Or you can give them what they deserve after you fully understand their loyalty and discern the unfaithful.

It's all your freedom.

But I think you should learn from our Lord Murphy and Grand Duke Tris, and the Blood Vulture Clan only needs the warriors of the Black Iron Rank to become fresh blood.

It sounds harsh, but it does guarantee that there will be no weakness among the new members of the Blood Vulture Clan. ”

The Earl of White Mountain fell silent.

After a few seconds of thought, he asked:

"So, what is the pricing of the 'disability insurance' you mentioned earlier?"

"It's not expensive, it's cheap, Lord Count."

Seeing that he was about to make a big business, Brother Loyal rubbed his hands excitedly, letting his mechanical hands make a tinkling sound in the collision.

He said:

"A person only needs 300 gold coins to insure, and then 50 gold coins per month, and Earl Sharon uses her status as a Sico lord and the proud promise of the Sikomel family, and she will be responsible for every insured person to the end."

"Well, in terms of the value of human life, it's really cheap, so let's get 100 copies first."

——

Andrei returned to his room in the Vulture Corridor,

There was still a faint uneasiness in his heart, and this uneasiness came from the "disability insurance" he had signed with Brother Loyal just now.

He knew that signing this would mean that the Blood Servants who would join his faction would be treated quite horribly, and that the advent of mechanical prosthetics meant that they would become real fighting machines until their broken bodies could no longer withstand any tempering.

The Earl of White Mountain felt that he had just committed a real "sin".

"Yes, you've grown."

Just as André was feeling uneasy with the guilt in his heart, a familiar voice sounded in the shadows of his room, causing the Count to subconsciously grasp the hilt of the Grey Claw Staff Sword at his waist, but then he relaxed.

Because Shani Dajie came out of the shadows.

The patriarch of the Thorn Clan, with a rare approving look on her beautiful and gentle countenance, her golden braids hanging down behind her, walked up to her great-great-grandson, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"Just now, you made the right decision.

I'm glad to see that you've finally figured out the distinction between 'allegiance' and 'duty', and see the true value of your followers with the wisdom of a ruler.

Your cowardice and unnecessary kindness are being stripped away little by little, so that the heroic blood that belongs to Boris in you is also awakening.

But you seem uneasy about it? ”

"Yes, Grand Duke."

In front of his ancestors, Andrei did not hide his uncalm state of mind, he whispered:

"I know it's necessary, and I've made up my mind to rebuild my faction by learning from Grand Duke Triss from the experience of the Blood Vulture Clan reconstruction.

But this kind of practice of treating human life as a mustard and pushing loyal servants into the abyss of war with their own hands is really not happy. ”

"You are still young, you do not understand that all loyalty must be perfected by time or tribulation."

Grand Duke Shani did not rebuke Andrei for his weakness.

She whispered:

"You can't hope for good fortune to meet a loyal servant like Murphy with an inherently obedient personality like Maxim, you need to find your own Maxim.

Or raise a 'monster' of your own from your minions.

War has always been cruel.

But it will temper strength and help you discern loyalty that is truly worth valuing.

Ah, it was the right choice to leave you in Transasia before, Andrei, your sister and I have both received your gifts back to Borean Castle. ”

The Grand Duke of Thorns nodded in satisfaction and said:

"You didn't see with your own eyes how your sister felt when she saw the hideous ice sculpture, she praised her younger brother for finally growing up, and proudly placed the ice sculpture in the hall of the ice palace so that all her subjects would appreciate your courage and strength.

You've got her initial approval.

Of course, I'm also happy with the vampire heart you sent.

The heart of wolf venom, the power of wilderness and brutality. Keep it up, child, and let you be pressed to polish it into a perfect and brilliant rough stone, and you will achieve your ideals with it. ”

"I'm honored, Grand Duke."

Andrei's longing for approval was finally satisfied, which soothed his uneasy heart, but he knew that such a trivial matter was not worth the trip of Grand Duke Shani herself, and the presence of his ancestors in the Scarlet Keep must mean something more important.

So he waited patiently.

"The 100 palace swordsmen that your sister gifted you are already on their way, and they will arrive at the Crimson Keep in half a month."

Lady Chani commanded:

"But that's not the main purpose of my visit, to help me make an appointment with Lady Triss and Lord Murphy, I have brought good news to them and intend to fulfill the promise that has been fulfilled immediately."

Speaking of which, Xia Ni glanced at Andre.

She said:

"Murphy is on the verge of being recognized by the Wolf Maiden as the true governor of Transansia, but that also means that you will miss out on the throne of this fiefdom.

Do you feel upset or discouraged by this? ”

"No, ruling Transia has never been something I've been looking for."

Count André replied very calmly:

"This is not a country to which I have sworn allegiance, nor is it a place where I have decided to show my talents, this is just a stop on my journey where I will gain courage and growth to serve my true Lord.

I can only give Murphy a round of applause and heartfelt wishes for the fact that he is about to become the king of Transancia.

He deserves it. ”

"Very good, this kind of bearing is also the state of a king."

Mrs. Shane was more satisfied.

A strange smile appeared on her gentle face, and with a "kind" smile, she touched Andrei's head, and she whispered:

"You've made the right decision, and Lord Murphy feels that he can rest easy knowing that he has defeated the gnolls and taken the allegiance of Count Sico.

But what he may not know is that this is just a small and even difficult to praise achievement.

The real trouble is coming soon, and it is always more difficult for a ruler to maintain authority and deepen his rule than to open up.

Let's hope Murphy is ready. ”
