Older people always have an unrealistic desire to protect their offspring.

It's an instinct to reproduce life, and even a resolute vampire tribune like Kuder is not immune.

He claims to have lost most of his human affection since becoming a vampire, but in reality, this emotion has not disappeared in a vacuum.

It was just carefully hidden under the vampire's shell by Kudel.

Murphy originally thought that he was an outlier among vampires, but compared to the extremely awkward Kudel, he was actually a relatively normal vampire.

Can you imagine that in the more than 100 years that Kuder has been a vampire, he has fought no more than five times with the power of Bloodthirst, which other vampires consider a core skill?

The vampire's thirst for blood was suppressed by Kudel's steel-hard will, which in itself was a miracle of no small significance.

"There are many reasons why I could explain my 'kidnapping' of your granddaughter, but I know that they only add to your anger.

So let's get this straight. ”

Murphy waved his hand and explained:

"You also know about the previous deal between the Greypaw faction and the Gnoll warlord Kempot, and it is unknown whether the defense map of the entire Cato region has been known by the Jackals.

The Anjou region is just north of the Cato region, separated only by a Mount Dilana.

The mountain range is indeed steep, and the Plantagenet Kingdom has forts and several strongholds of the Silver Dwarves in it, but do you think the Anjou region will be able to rest easy if the Black Plague chooses this route to advance?

I'll admit that I'm playing up an undeserved fear, but the truth is, it's no less risky to let your granddaughter go home than to keep her there in Transncia, by your side.

At least here, you can also protect her and teach her.

Becky is really talented!

She may become a rare female knight of gold among humans.

What's more, her quest for power isn't driven by fame or anything else, she aspires to become a legendary knight like you.

It's a miracle, and fate has sent her to you. ”

"Keeping my granddaughter with a bunch of vampires? I can't imagine it. ”

Kudell whispered:

"I trust you, but only a few of you, my granddaughter is an irresistible 'meal' for any vampire."

"Then you should teach her how to deal with vampires like us, and even train her to be a brilliant and deadly 'vampire killer'.

She has the talent for it! ”

Murphy Wen said:

"It's better to teach her how to hold the sword correctly than to let her live ignorant of the risks. What's more, we already have a Holy Grail in our hands.

When necessary, all you need to do is guide Becky to change her faith, and it only takes a little time for her to become a Knight of the Holy Grail just like you.

You say, where else in the mainland is there more suitable for Biki to step on the stage of legends than us? ”

"I can't argue with that."

Kudell sighed, and after a few seconds, he said:

"But I always felt that you had to keep my granddaughter in Transcia because she didn't care about her talent and future, and you had other plans for her.

It makes me feel uneasy, Murphy. ”

"A powerful blonde knight is hard to find."

Murphy did not hide some kind of "attempt" of his own, saying:

"We already have a Riptide Knights, and they will grow in number, and they need a Grand Master or Grand Inquisitor or High Lord who can convince everyone.

I can even put Becky in the position of 'Crusader General' in the future, as long as she wants, as long as she wants, at least in Transcia, there are countless possibilities for her life.

Of course, I didn't come to you just because of Miss Becky.

About the thing we've been planning before. As for the military line between the Dark Barony and the Filthy Swamp, I've decided to start working on it next week!

We still have more than four months to go, and with the help of the rapid construction techniques my warriors are currently using, we can barely finish a line of defense before the crisis arises.

There are now tens of thousands of kobolds gathered there.

There is no shortage of labor, but they need some overseers, and I want you to be in charge there, and I will assign you good lieutenants.

You just have to sit there and someone will arrange the details. ”

"Hmm."

Kudell didn't refuse, but then he asked:

"I've read the information that Adele has forwarded to me, what are you going to do about those gnolls in the filthy swamp? Or do you want to let them go there in search of the treasure of the Biting King? ”

"That's something that has to be solved! That's a terrible hidden danger. ”

Murphy whispered:

"After the Championship is over, I'm going to get all of Trancia into the swamp, and Hogg has found a path for us to get through

Don't look surprised, Kudel, I just said to build a defense, I never said we'd fight the gnolls on our own land.

The line of defense is just in case, and I have already chosen the real battlefield. ”

His Excellency the Governor moved his finger and said:

"I am sure that after the completion of the Hundred Days, the Filthy Swamp will no longer be the frontier of Transasia, and we will fight alongside the Knights of the Blood Alliance in the Dark Mountains.

Yes!

This will be the first initiative in the history of Translasia!

We're going to burn the flames of war to the territory of the gnolls, and you, Kudel!

Together with Maxim, you will form our spearhead, like two ferocious fists thrown by Transncia, and we will no longer be passively defensive. ”

"Brother Loyalty, look at the barrel of my new work! Hey, I'm telling you, absolutely awesome. ”

In the temporary office of the "Otherworldly Weapons Design Zone" of the "First National Arsenal of Transnesia", where the Underhorse Hills once made a big beast's den, Brother Loyalty, who was pinching a pipe and frowning at a pile of weapon drawings, heard a cheerful call outside the door.

He sighed, touched his already Mediterranean hairstyle, and put all the drawings he had "copied" from the other side into the safe behind him, and then slowly walked out with his pipe.

Don't look at Brother Loyalty's level is still only level 9 for poor Baba, but the "suit" on his body at this time is unique in the entire player group.

The shirt and vest on the upper body are worn with a riotous black tuxedo, the lower body is neat trousers with boots, and the most interesting thing is that there is a monocle as an ornament on the eyes, and a high black hat on the head.

Actually, there was still a cane.

But Brother Loyalty, too troublesome, always left it with him, and instead got a pipe from a vendor from the Batasin Chamber of Commerce.

Such a unique outfit is certainly impossible to defeat the monster, in fact, this costume named "Capitalist" suit is a reward for the achievement of Brother Loyal after he was appointed as the factory director.

Probably out of some kind of bad taste of the development team, the parts of this set are also very stalked, the monocle is called "surplus value", the high hat is called "old money", the tuxedo is called "exploiter's skin", and the custom cane is called "conscience".

In addition to these kits, outside the gates of the Translasia Sapper Factory stands a custom-made street lamp with a strange shape, which is also part of the "Capitalist" set.

Its name is "noose".

When Brother Loyal wore this extremely exaggerated fashion to swagger through the market before, he made a sense of existence.

Now the whole forum, regardless of whether they have entered the game or not, has nicknamed him "Brother Capital".,Brother Loyal has no opinion on this.,He just thinks the development team is very good at playing.。

And that's what players want!

Therefore, the capitalist suit that was still a little awkward at the beginning has now been accepted by Brother Loyalty, as long as it is in a non-combat state, then it is worn every day without taking it off, and with two leather gloves, it can better hide Brother Loyalty's "secret weapon".

That is, his mechanical left arm and mechanical right fist, which are also unique among players!

Hey, who said the fun of playing games is only about fighting monsters and doing quests?

Dude doesn't have to do anything, he's already the first factory owner in the game.

He walked out of his office with his pipe in his mouth, and was greeted by a group of "weapons engineers" under his command who were gathering to discuss something in the empty factory.

This factory was built for them some time ago by the Grey Beaters with a team of workers and vulture psionics, and is part of the entire Translancian Arsenal complex.

Some of the assembled machinery has been placed in it, but because the large steam engines that support the driving machinery are being transferred from other places by the Capetian family, production cannot begin for the time being.

In fact, even if the power is in place, Brother Loyal does not plan to put it into production immediately.

He also had to wait for his mentor, Earl Sharon, to arrive with improved blueprints, and transform these production lines, which were originally used to produce "steam-style guns", into "otherworldly gun mods" before he could actually start work.

Governor Murphy said that although this transformation will occupy a lot of manpower and material resources, resulting in the initial output can not be quickly increased, but this matter must go on step by step from the beginning, and the "independent research and development" plan must not be abandoned for the sake of output.

The support from the top leader reassured Brother Zhongzhong, and he was no longer in a hurry to put it into production.

In the past few days, when other players are rushing to play the Translancia Boxing Championship, he and a group of very "criminal" young players around him are here every day to discuss how to better run the arsenal and try to pick and design their first "fist product".

It's easier said than done, even a person like Brother Zhongzhong who has really smelled gunpowder will inevitably be in a hurry during the first practice, not to mention that for these "enthusiasts", just a gun barrel process is enough to dissuade most of the laymen who rushed to the arsenal to apply for "engineers".

Drawings, who wouldn't copy them on the Internet?

The question is whether you can turn those drawings into reality, and that's the difference between a visionary and an engineer.

"Look! Brother Loyalty, I made the barrel. ”

The little player "Dire Golem", who has been playing well with Brother Loyalty since the time of the forum when the Party was a glutton, picked up a black barrel with both hands and handed it to Brother Loyalty.

The latter took it in surprise and fumbled in his hand a few times before asking:

"Hot working? Foundries? ”

"That's right, it's still your good eye, you can see the craftsmanship at a glance, this group of teases still think that I drilled it out by hand, and they don't want to think about where I came from so strong."

The Dire Manta grinned and said:

"I found the introduction document on the Internet to make a mold, and after a few tries to make this, after all, it is a 15th-century process and it is not too complicated."

"Well, has the strength been tested?"

Brother Loyal asked, and the Dire Bat golem shrugged and said:

"No, it's not like I'm looking for you to bounce down with a little point."

"Hey, there's bubbles in the barrel of the forged gun, be careful of blowing it up."

Another tall and skinny little player next to him, "Barrett", reminded:

"I think I have to do cold forging if I can, and I asked the gunsmiths of the Capetian family, and they said that there was already a similar pipe rolling equipment in the arsenals of the Anjou region, and in the factories of the halflings there were already drilling machines and reamer equipment of the 19th century."

"No matter how good it is, it's halfling, we don't have it."

Unconvinced, the Dire Golem said:

"It's not that I'm unaware of the problem of thermal processing, precision and durability, but the problem is that there is no way to do it right now, isn't it?

It's better to go to the soil method than to import the barrels from the Capet family in batches and assemble them, right?

Besides, what we're doing now is a big bolt! It is not semi-automatic, the casting process is enough, and the rifling can be drilled out by the soil method.

It's nothing more than a little more labor.

Wait until the black disaster is over first, and then talk about industrial upgrading.

Maxim's People's Army gave us an order of 1,500 breech guns for the first batch alone, and you have to make this batch first. ”

"I'm just saying, I know it's going to be difficult right now."

Barrett touched his nose and said:

"The big cork is easy to use, I'll admit, but if we want to give the Transancian soldiers a firepower advantage, semi-automatics have to be on the agenda.

Is it okay to pursue a little bit? We've worked so hard to come here just to make a few big bolts?

Shame on you! ”

"Don't make noise, don't make noise! Noisy, do you understand that you are a team? ”

Brother Zhong reached out to appease his most capable and experienced "left and right hands", he took off his pipe and revealed the news:

"After a while, Ms. Paryn is going to represent Transncia on a halfling site, and we'll send a report on the equipment we need to see if we can get some 'advanced gadgets'.

If it really doesn't work, we have to get some machine tools, we have to imitate it from scratch, and about the semi-automatic one in advance and a little later.

You two go to test the barrel, I need a report that is rigorous enough, you get the bullets, and if you can, raise the production of castings first.

I have commissioned Mr. Portman to find suitable wood for us to make the barrel, and in a few days there will be a nearby carpentry factory to work. ”

"Okay!"

The two assistants didn't shirk it, and went outside with the barrel of the Dire Bat Golem, and Brother Loyal watched the two guys leave, and he couldn't help but think in his heart:

"You two bastards are actually punished like this, rubbing the barrel of the gun with your hands can be repaid, and your name will be put on the key monitoring list in a while, lest you have itchy hands and do something you shouldn't do in reality.

Kid, don't blame the uncle.

It's for both of you! ”

"Brother Loyalty! You're there, come and see the good stuff I've made! ”

Brother Loyal was thinking about this, when another cheerful call made him turn around, and he saw a young player wearing chain armor and a cloth made of armor to make a battle robe, dressed exactly like a medieval knight, striding towards with a box full of spring breeze.

This guy's robe is crudely dyed with a red shield emblem clenched in a fist and a sword.

This is the logo of the "Knights of the Riptide"!

This group of RP parties has successfully left a very high "perception" of the local residents with this neat and uniform dress during this time.

However, the guy in front of me with the ID "Legendary Brave" is an exception.

When he plays the role, he looks like a knight, but occasionally he will chat with other players in a normal posture and tone, which seems to be very non-RP.

Ever since the Whitewater Knights began a large-scale search of the homeless in the Sikoring and Under Armour Hills, this "Brave Lord" has been running to Brother Loyal twice in three days.

"Look! What I promised was made. ”

He rushed to Brother Loyalty, placed the box in his hand on the table and opened it, revealing several gray cylindrical objects of uniform length.

Brother Zhong's eyes widened, and he reached out and touched it tremblingly.

He exclaimed:

"Blanch! Dirt detonator? Damn, you kid turned out to be the most tortured! Dude, what are you doing in reality? How can this thing still be rubbed out by hand? ”

"Oh, see the smile, this is not a detonator, I don't have mercury thunderate in my hand, not even nitroglycerin, in fact, it's a little 'secret formula' added to the black powder, the explosion power has not increased much, but it is more convenient and safe to carry and transfer, I think everyone may use it in the future."

The legendary brave man had a posture of hiding his merits and fame, and he waved his hand and said:

"As for myself, hey, I'm just an ordinary security officer."

"Whose security officer understands this! Hurry up and tell me honestly! ”

"Well, I'm really the kind of safety officer in charge of mining in the mine, and there are also people who call me a blaster, hey, don't be afraid, I have a certificate.

And it's a professional background.,Never mess around.。

Let's take a look at what my detonator is made of, alas, I can't find a lot of materials here, so I can only do it a little so-so. ”

"You stay here, I'll arrange for someone to test, and if it's adopted, I'll apply for a stipend for you."

Brother Zhong said to the brave man with a "terrible afterlife" attitude. The latter waved his hand and chatted a few more words before turning to leave, and rode his war horse at the door, and went to his companions to continue the search for the homeless.

The loyal brother in the factory looked at the few detonators in the box in front of him with a cautious attitude, and he whispered:

"You kid put me on the watch list too! Blanch, what kind of treasures has this Alpha Company recruited to come in? It's too much of a punishment. ”
