After a few minutes of communication, in Lady Leenia's tent, a blood crystal suspended on a wooden table engraved with runes shone brightly.

It's an activated psionic device, with a more powerful telecommunication function than the Orb of Calculations and a long time in existence, it is said to be a fairly old psionic technique, and it is full of mysteries just by looking at it.

Murphy knew that Tracy had a few in her hand, but she had never seen her use them, and he didn't know where those rune stones went.

According to her, it was made by the elders of the Seven Vampire Clans, the most proactive and psionic clans, and the way it was made was too complicated for even a psionic master like Tracey.

Therefore, it is not very common, and will only circulate in the hands of a few important people in the Bloodline.

The biggest feature of this thing is that it is a "one-to-one" communication tool, and once it is completed, it will permanently bind the individual's psionic characteristics, in other words, it is the same as a "private mobile phone", and there is naturally a risk of "private number leakage".

"Your Excellency readily agreed to meet with you, and the whole briefing and decision-making process went incredibly smoothly, and to be honest, I can't understand it."

Leania said to Murphy with a strange expression:

"What's the magic of those two words? What does it represent? ”

"I am willing to tell you of course that this means that you will be completely tied to us in the same dangerous carriage, but are you sure that you are ready to accept this secret, ma'am?"

Murphy looked at the curious archer knight with his hands behind his back, and he said in a dissuasive tone:

"No, it's not a burden that you, a scouting knight, should bear, so my advice to you is, why don't you go to your nocturnal appointment with my faithful servant Maxim?

The dangerous elements roaming the Under Armour Hills must be cleared of the important facilities in Translasia, and I'm looking forward to seeing you return victorious, the Wolf Venom Gladiators at the Fight Club are depleting a bit fast, and perhaps the Blood Rat Gang should replenish their stock. ”

At this point in Murphy's words, Leenia had already roughly understood.

This "twilight" may refer to some secret between the leaders of the Bloodline.

Don't look at Murphy who is quite depressed now, but nominally he is indeed an important leader of the Blood Vulture Clan, so it makes sense that the Lord is willing to give him preferential treatment.

In a society of vampires with clear dignity and humility, knowing something dangerous often means taking on heavier responsibilities, and in this sense, Murphy's somewhat arrogant consolation at this time can be understood as a kind of protective kindness.

With this in mind, the Knight of the Archer did not insist and withdrew from his tent, leaving room for conversation to Murphy and Lord Pa Ying, who was waiting somewhere on the continent at this time.

When Murphy was the only one left in the tent, he straightened his outfit before stepping forward to hold the levitating psionic device in his hand.

With the infusion of psionic energy, the blood crystal quickly rotated and projected a picture in front of Murphy's eyes, like some kind of cool "holographic projection" device, projecting the opposite Lord Pa Ying into the camp in the form of spiritual energy weaving.

This was the first time Murphy had ever seen the legendary Lord of Boyn Vernon Cappadocia, and the image displayed by the latter was indeed quite in line with Tracey's introduction to Murphy.

He wore no armor, only a blood-colored robe to hide his tall body.

The facial features are upright, the sword eyebrows are starry, and the most traditional "neutral beauty" of the blood clan, although the expressionless face maintains a gloomy and indifferent demeanor, but the posture of the unrestrained black smooth long hair and shawl does add a lot of "artist" temperament to the lord.

I just don't know where he learned his painting skills, and what is the level? But with the dashing appearance and contact temperament shown by the sect master, it shouldn't be a failed art student from another world, right?

But when the lord's eyes fell on Murphy, the vampire lord's cranky thoughts were immediately interrupted.

Even from a long distance, the scrutiny belonging to the golden powerhouse still crossed the space and fell on Murphy, making him feel a trace of pressure.

"Your psionic energy has a hint of the astral air."

Lord Pa Ying took the initiative to speak:

"I've heard from Leania that you've become an astral summoner, which is a very dangerous class in the psionic branch, especially when you encounter some mysterious beings in the astral plane, so be careful how you want to communicate with them.

Tracey may not have told you about the potential pitfalls.

But my advice to you is to think carefully before branding yourself as an astral being of a mysterious being, as that will directly determine your future path to power.

However, Paliano, who is proud, thinks highly of you, so I'm sure you didn't just waste my time by reaching out to me tonight.

Say, Murphy, what disturbing ominous news have you found in Transnesia? ”

"First of all, thank you for reminding me in the path of strength, Venerable Lord Pa Ying."

Murphy put on an open face and took the reminder of the Lord to heart.

He did not waste any time in exchanging pleasantries, and he recounted to Lord Pa Ying in a short but comprehensive account of what had happened in the filthy swamp and the ruins of Sico City, and from the frown on his brow, it was clear that the information he had provided was indeed something that Lord Pa Ying had not known before.

Especially when he heard that the victims of Siko City had been forged as a dangerous army of death and were still under the control of Dusk, Lord Pa Ying's expression visibly became angry.

I just don't know if this anger stems from his inability to endure this kind of atrocity, or because this terrible thing is a true disaster for the defense system of the Black Scourge?

"The information you provide is valuable, but I ask you not to act recklessly."

After thinking for a few seconds, Lord Pa Ying said to Murphy:

"I will send a team of my special to deal with these matters to Transncia to help you trace the traces of dusk, before which you will continue to complete your construction and military training in Translasia."

"You mean, you're going to take over this?"

Murphy glanced at Lord Pa Ying, he shook his head and said:

"No, that's not what I wanted, Lord Lord, please understand that this matter has already involved the current Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture Clan. While there isn't enough evidence, I'm sure Tracey played a fairly important role in Twilight's series of plans, and I can't convince myself to sit idly by.

I may seem to you to be a weak little lord, but I don't lack the courage to stand the apocalyptics of all things in my territory.

It is my job to eradicate them. ”

The Lord did not respond.

He just stared at Murphy with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a few seconds of silence he spoke:

"So you already have some plans? Let's talk about it, it should provide me with another way of thinking. ”

"My idea is simple, since it's a threat, it has to be dealt with before they can cause damage."

Murphy confessed:

"The gnolls of the Filthy Swamp manipulate the necrocers and the dead by commanding the Scepter, and Trith is already cracking the mystery of the Scepter of Command, and I'm preparing to send my warriors into the Filthy Swamp to connect Transnesia with the Wasteland defenses.

If we can extend our frontline positions to the area where the Knights of the Blood Alliance are located before the Black Plague erupts, it means that we can put the battlefield in the Dark Mountains instead of fighting a perilous defensive battle on the lands of Translasia.

Judging from my superficial understanding of war, the confrontation between spear and shield is always the shield that suffers, so I would rather be the one who takes the initiative to attack!

Therefore, if there must be a war, then I want it to be ignited on the enemy's territory.

I'm confident I'll be able to accomplish this in the next four months, but I don't have enough energy and resources to act on the filthy swamp.

Siko City is a real nuisance, it's like a barrel of dynamite used by halfling engineers and dwarven miners, and I don't know when it will explode and wipe out all my efforts, so it will take you and the power of the Blood Alliance to pacify or solve it.

But Tracey gave me a very subtle idea.

She had told me before that such a large-scale technique of mobilizing death psionic energy and the mysterious ability of summoning the breath of Hades could only be done by the Moon Priests of the Songhai Empire on the entire continent.

So I have reason to think that all the bad things that are happening in Translancia so far now have something to do with the Dead Followers far away in the Land of Origin.

The source of this dangerous knowledge is in them!

In that case, they should also bear part of the responsibility for this.

I want to get to the root of the problem, so I'm asking you for help tonight, using your connections and prestige to ask the Lunar Priests to get out of their Dead City and get to Transcia to deal with this mess before the Black Plague breaks out!

Since they are experts, they can and should always provide us with more means to use.

Maybe we can turn a bad thing into a good thing. ”

"Huh?"

The Lord's eyes picked.

He asked what Murphy meant with his eyes, and the vampire lord whispered:

"I mean, if the enemy can harness the power of the dead, why can't we? Transencia lacks everything, but not corpses.

If the gnolls can survive again, they will definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of attrition in the face of the emotionless army of the undead, and the undead sea tactics are an extremely terrifying strategy for any life.

You see, the solution to the Scourge has always been in the hands of the Moon Priests, but they don't seem to be planning to use their knowledge and wisdom wisely.

I don't know what the hell they think.

But now that the valuable knowledge that belongs to them has been leaked to the gnolls, they should be held accountable for it. ”

"Well, I understand your thoughts, you're bold but you can't try."

Lord Pa Ying rubbed his chin and said:

"I'll think about it.

If I make a decision, then I will let you know as soon as possible, but for now, don't provoke the dead in the ruins of Sico until you get outside help.

As for your plans in terms of filthy swamps, I do not comment.

I think you're underestimating the power of the Filthy Lands, but it's a good thing if you're willing to try, since the rulers of Translancia had never wanted to expand their territory into the Dark Mountains for 400 years.

If you can do it, then I'll look the other way for you.

Paliano was right about you, Murphy.

You are indeed a midnight walker like no other, and I have seen your uniqueness and potential, and I will get back to you in three days.

You can take this blood crystal with you, and I will give you the right to contact me at any time.

But I don't want you to abuse that power.

At the very least, don't report to me something trivial that you can solve on your own, my time is precious. ”

"I understand."

Murphy responded:

"Based on tonight's situation, I won't bother you with anything less threatening."

"Very good, very smart."

The Lord waved his hand.

That gesture is obviously the meaning of "I want to sleep peacefully, and everyone kneels in peace".

Murphy was also very sensible and did not continue to bother, but withdrew the spirit to interrupt the communication of the blood crystal, he grabbed the gadget that stopped spinning in his hand and played with it, and tilted his head to think:

"It's said that Lord Pa Ying is too serious and doesn't have any sense of humor, but I think it's actually okay, in addition to always having a gloomy face, this particularly tasteful modeling of Lord Pa Ying will definitely satisfy young players.

But how does the background of his projection feel so strange? Like in some secret room full of faith and worship style?

So where is Lord Pa Ying now?

Ah, now is not the time to think about that! ”

Murphy tossed the blood crystal into his bag and walked out of Lady Leenia's tent, looking at the purple glow of the astral creation above him.

Once the threat to Sico City has been confirmed, it will be followed by an immediate search and containment of the displaced there.

Die-hard mountain dwellers will most likely not leave their forests, but those who wander in Sicor must be immediately transferred to Cadman Earldom to keep them away from the dangers that could erupt in Sicor, and to join in the rebuilding of the Crimson Keep.

It's a win-win-win-

Considering that their little players have been idle for almost a week since the end of the Gnoll Hunt, how can they be so tired?

Therefore, they must find something to do, let them move bricks and dust, and it is obviously impossible to farm and cultivate the land, but let them do such a trivial matter as searching for the displaced people.

Do you want to create a credit pool this time? ——

"Smack"

The blood crystal that had stopped working was placed on the stone table in front of him that was covered with traces of time.

The vampire's uncrowned king stared calmly at the creature sitting across from him, wrapped in a strip of gray cloth and wearing the robes of the Moon Priest.

He whispered:

"You heard, it's a report from the front lines of Translasia! Chief Priest Bayek, can you still insist that your knowledge of death in the Moon Holy City has not been leaked? ”

Faced with Lord Pa Ying's questioning, the chief moon priest in front of him was silent.

Of course, he couldn't speak if he wanted to, just the same posture as a mummy wrapped in this strip of cloth, and even his eyes were wrapped, which made people doubt this guy's physical and mental state at this time.

Therefore, he used the shock of spiritual energy as his answer, and this answer also made the Lord Pa Ying who came to "rejuvenate the teacher and ask the guilt" very satisfied.

The vampire artist Huo Ran got up and said to the "mummy" in front of him:

"Very well, as you said, an elite Moon Priest Investigation Team must set off within seven days, first to the Knights of the Blood Alliance's line of defense in the Barren Mountains, and from there to Transcia.

The legion of the dead beneath the ruins of Sico is your responsibility.

You must dispose of it before the Black Plague breaks out!

Or, according to Murphy's whimsical ideas, turn the awakened dead into powers that we can use. ”

"Alas"

A long, decaying sigh rang out from beneath the distinctive attire of the chief priest of Bayek, and he nodded, watching Lord Pa Ying leave the Death Chamber.

As an orthodox priest of the moon, Lord Bayek didn't really care much about the Black Plague, because it meant a lot of death, and in his view, death was a blessing and a matter of balance.

He tapped lightly on the stone table.

Soon, a Songhai girl wearing the same style of sacrificial robe walked quickly into the secret room, bending down in front of the chief priest with the etiquette of a disciple and waiting for instructions.

The cold spiritual energy fluctuated again, making the Songhai girl in front of her raise her head in surprise, and she exclaimed:

"Leave the Holy City and go to the mainland?

No, Mentor, I'm trying to finish my report, and I'm in the final step of the improved trial of safely summoning the Three-Headed Dog of Hades.

That's my graduation project! ”

"Bang"

The mummy's fingers struck the stone table a little harder.

This meant that this order could not be disobeyed, and the girl's helpless sorrow could only be depressed.

She was one of the finest disciples of the chief priest of Bayek, and her gift for the rites of death and the knowledge of Hades was rare in a century, and she was sent to solve the troubles of Sico.

By the way, how did the mystery of the Death Moon leak into the hands of a group of doomsday theologians?

Could it be that the shadow of dusk has quietly descended on the yellow sands of the Songhai Empire under the protection of the glorious sun and the bright moon of death?

Alas, this is unimaginable chaos.
