390. Transnicia's first offline casino is about to open!
Adele soon returns to the Crimson Keep with her Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice, where Grand Duke Tris is already waiting.
According to Tracy's own boasting, she had an "internship" in the Moon Holy City of the Songhai Empire for a period of time when she was "young", and she has her own unique understanding of necromantic energy, although she has not yet reached the level of a necromancer master, but as an undead physician to check Bernice's situation, it is still possible to have a hand.
Although Triss said it very vaguely, Murphy probably guessed it.
Tracey's original "internship" in the Songhai Empire refers to the fact that it is most likely not a formal "vampire study abroad" program, and there is a high probability that she secretly hid in someone's holy city to secretly learn the mysteries belonging to the Moon Priest, and it is estimated that she was discovered by others before she could learn it well.
can only escape in the same embarrassment as her experience of trying to steal someone's holy grail in the elven kingdom and being chased and beaten.
Otherwise, with Tracey's character who values knowledge and loves death, she will not allow herself to give up halfway without reaching the realm of masters in the study of death knowledge.
Counting this time, how many times has the Scarlet Witch of the Megatron Continent been deflated?
Other people's Megatron Continent is invincible all over the world, and Tracey's Megatron Continent has been chased and beaten by all families, so you can say that this treatment is magical, right?
However, in terms of her attitude towards seeking knowledge, Tracey's seriousness and rigor are enough to make Murphy, who has been fishing in this area and has practiced several advanced swordsmanship to the realm of a master until now, but the summoning technique is still a half-ass, feels ashamed and embarrassed.
At the same time, while Trith was examining Bernice's body and studying the unique profession of the Knight of Hades, a unique profession unique to the necromantic faction, in Murphy's office, he also listened to Adele's relay of Hogg's request.
"Sure enough, he's a smart guy, even a little too smart."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"It seems that it has not been lazy during this time, and has learned from the simplified version of the general history of the continent that Transcia will have the chaotic posture of 'vigorous and vigorous everything competing' when facing the Black Plague.
It was clear that Hogg was already suffering from safety anxiety.
As a supporter of it, we must give it some confidence at this time. ”
"But getting the administration to admit that Hogg's clan is a member of Transcia is going to cause a lot of trouble."
Adele said hesitantly:
"I reckon Miriam and Professor Malcolm are in favor, the Archon has broken his heart for the sake of manpower, and Professor Malcolm is hell-bent on achieving equality between races.
However, the Transansians are rude and stubborn, and they are not so easy to accept a group of gnolls as their neighbors, especially since the place has been plagued by gnolls for the past few hundred years, and the enmity between the two sides has been difficult to unravel. ”
"Then it's just a matter of leaving this to time."
Murphy was not so worried, and he said to Adele:
"The locals used to hate witch hunters, but now there are young people who have taken the initiative to go to Morland Village to accept the witch hunter's hunting trial.
While there was also an element to the re-spread of the Avalon faith, it was apparently due to the fact that the Witch Hunters were never absent from every battle since the establishment of the Crimson Keep.
Although we Transancians are rude and stubborn, the difficult living conditions also make us realistic and stable.
The locals don't care about things that don't keep them fed and clothed, as long as Hogg and his clan stand firmly on our side during the Black Plague and make a visible contribution to Translasia.
I believe it's only a matter of time before the locals embrace them!
After all, judging from Kenpott's situation, the difference between the Tranian Jackals and the Dark Mountain Gnolls is quite large, and if you have to say, you don't have a problem thinking that they are two species.
What's more, the Smuggler's Woodlands are far from the human settlements of Translasia, which is a frontier in every sense of the word.
Unless it is a shady business, it is unlikely that a person who lives in the area will have any contact with Hogg and its clan in their lifetime. ”
Speaking of which, Murphy glanced at Adele.
He whispered:
"It's up to you to decide, Adele! You are the Baroness of Darkness, this is your territory, and I should not have crossed your authority to decide everything there.
You also have to learn to take charge of your own stewardship, and not to push your responsibilities to me in the name of 'loyalty', just like Maxim, who was a baron of Lim and never managed a single day of his territory.
I now find that in his mouth, loyalty is not just a self-promotion, but also the perfect reason to be lazy.
Hey, that's probably what we often call 'wise and foolish'. ”
"Well, master, but let's wait until the Plague is over before we talk about it."
Lady Adele hesitated, then nodded and said:
"As you say, if Hogg wants to secure a permanent fief and take a seat in Transnesia's management, he and his people will have to contribute more to the land.
Burying Kenpot is a good place to start, the fall of Plaguetown will be an excellent asymptotic, and the Black Plague will directly determine the outcome of us and them. ”
"Well, that's it, appease it first."
Murphy nodded.
He picked up the quill and continued to refine the design of the "003 Group Book" in his notebook, and when Adele turned to leave, Murphy asked casually, seemingly inadvertently:
"Don't you plan to use source blood yet? Bella and Bernice care about your situation, and even though they're dead, they still want you to be free. ”
The question made Lady Adele stop.
She was silent for several seconds, and then she bit her lip and said in a subtle tone:
"What about you? Do you want me to leave you forever? Do you think my loyalty is not enough? I can improve, I can learn from Maxim.
I."
"No, that's not what I meant."
Murphy waved his hand to stop Adele from continuing, and he whispered:
"Don't think about it, go get done."
"Yes, master."
Adele breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and walked out.
After she left, Murphy slammed the pen in his hand on the table, and then reached out to cover his eyes, the expression on Shuai's face was very painful and helpless.
Adele's personality would not have said such pitiful words like a kitten when it was about to be abandoned, and even had a hint of coquettishness.
It seems that the influence of the bloodline contract on her mind has been very serious, although she never shows it, but Sister E's dependence on herself has become more and more inextricable and like falling into a quagmire.
"I'm afraid something will happen if it goes on like this."
Murphy rubbed his eyes and sighed:
"I knew that I pinched her nose and forcibly poured it on her at that time, alas, it's all to blame for Fimis! You say it would be nice if you were a normal vampire!
It would have been perfect for you and Adele to sign the bloodline contract, and if I could do that, I wouldn't have to worry about it now.
But considering that the birth and growth of Feimis are related to Twilight, the initiator of this incident is still the damn cultist organization!
Horse-stepping!
Actually caused such a big trouble for Lao Tzu, sooner or later one day I will destroy all of you dogs who do bad things!
Alas, the bloodline contract
It's a double-edged sword, but I'm curious to see what happens to Happy Bar and Melia. Are people who cross the world in love with each other?
Tsk, that's going to be interesting.
Ah, a heartless warrior who is keen on conquest, a blind blood clan with a rough background, a contract that is not out of affection but only for help and profit, a twisted relationship that cannot be unraveled.
With all the ingredients in place for a wonderful love story, I should probably ask the knight of Paliano to come back to us for another trip to give those two guys a 'pure love blessing'.
Ha!
I knew it was going to be fun! ”
——
While Murphy was trying to make amuse of his sorrowful self by appreciating the troubles of others, in the courtyard of the village chief of Farm No. 3 near Scarlet Fort, he and his four secretaries were putting the finishing touches on the "Village Development Plan" they had already drawn up.
They're busy.
After an occasional conversation, I continued to work on the plan that had been prepared for several days, and it was clear from the thick pile of paper that it was definitely a work of heart.
But soon, another "guest" appeared in Lao Huo's office.
Dorothy, the leader of the Blood Rat Gang, silently jumped in through the window, seemingly intending to appear in the "traditional way" of a thief, but before she could take a step, she noticed an unaudible psionic trap beneath her feet.
The thing has been activated.
It was arranged throughout the office in a cunning manner that fit the gaps in the floor tiles, and the less eye-catching or inexperienced Assassin would not have been able to detect it.
As soon as you touch the lines of psionic energy that have spread out on all sides under your feet and vibrate slightly in the shadows, the trap will be triggered.
Dorothy didn't know what the effect of this psionic trap was, but she wasn't going to try it recklessly, and any thief who lived long would not take the initiative to use his feet to compare the strength of a trap with unknown effect.
Superb skills are not a reason to die wantonly, and good luck cannot become the confidence to work hard.
So the cautious Blood Rat Gang boss appeared on the spot, and Luo Yan, who reacted the fastest, grabbed the short staff in his hand, although he had not passed the black iron trial, but the psionic beam gathered at the top of the staff was already quite extraordinary, coupled with her excellent personal image, she did have a bit of the demeanor of a psionic master.
The other three girl secretaries were slow to react, but they immediately grabbed their weapons, and judging by their style, they were warriors, hunters, and bards.
Although they are all part-time in administrative occupations, judging from the neat and neat movements of the four girls, they have also worked their personal strength.
It's also easy to understand.
Becoming an executive is a job, choosing a combat career is life, and elite players like them always have a clear separation between work and personal life.
"Don't be nervous, lay down your weapons."
Lao Huo was also shocked when he saw Dorothy appear, as a trickster, he set a ghost trap for his office, but it didn't seem to be enough to deal with an assassin like Dorothy, and he regretted it in his heart but still had to put on a general's demeanor.
While waving his hands very imposingly, he said in a long voice:
"Lady Dorothy and her Bloodrat Gang are our most valuable partners in the Tranthean Entertainment and Leisure Guild, and I am confident that her visit today is not ill-intentioned.
We're friends, right? Ms. Dorothy. ”
"Are you imitating Murphy?"
Dorothy unceremoniously used a superb shadow step to shuttle the shadows and appeared on the chair opposite Lao Huo, and casually pulled the chair and leaned on it.
She snorted and said:
"Murphy's style isn't for you, you're not a vampire after all, and you don't have that inherently evil flavor no matter how much you disguise it... Let's laugh, Mr. Huo.
You smile very relatablely, which makes you always have a high success rate when you cheat.
As for the reason I am here today, it is very simple.
Dividends! ”
She smiled, and then dropped a bag full of gold coins on the table, which slammed into the table with the weight it should have made with the sound that money should have.
However, he didn't look at this dividend that was enough to make ordinary players rich overnight, and he showed his usual gentle and humble smile, saying:
"So, scratch sales are good?"
"Okay? No, no, no, I wouldn't use 'good' to describe that magical cutie, I would use more graphic words, such as 'hot', such as 'sought after', such as 'crazy'. ”
Dorothy's voice was filled with unconcealed pleasure, and she exclaimed:
"It's just the income of the first period, excluding the bonuses paid for the first, second, third prizes and consolation prizes, and then excluding the labor fees I ordered for the machine and paid to my subordinates, we have a total income from this scratch lot..."
"No, don't tell me! I don't care about any of that. ”
Lao Huo stretched out his hand to stop Dorothy's report.
He's not pretending, he really doesn't care.
The man's eyes flashed with the sharp light he had cultivated while galloping through the mall, and he said in a deep voice:
"As I said before, this little fight was just a little 'gift' to get the Blood Rat Gang and the Phantom Intelligence Agency to trust me.
If you're happy with that, can we start talking about real 'big business'?" ”
"Isn't that big enough?"
Dorothy was a little dissatisfied, and she retorted:
"The income of this issue is already worth the income of a month when I used to work on the black market! My subordinates praised me for my wisdom and skill, and I saw in their eyes adoration and loyalty.
I think that's enough to satisfy Mrs. Adele, and you say it's just a small business that doesn't make a living.
To be honest, Mr. Huo, I regret it a little, this transaction with you has made me feel fearful, and not just because of your attitude towards money.
More because I seem to see your ambitions.
Is it too late for me to quit now? ”
"If you want the admiration and loyalty of your subordinates to disappear, I can accept your exit at any time, and I will choose another partner."
Shrugged his shoulders, he said:
"His Excellency Maxim is in the process of forming a new army of the People's Army of Translasia, and it is well known that the army is the most expensive to develop, and I am sure that he will not miss this 'loyalty business'.
Or maybe Miss Philis has been raising money for the construction of the Midnight Tower.
She's a wise psionist, and she's sure to see the benefits of working with me, not to mention a mage tower, even ten hundred can be built.
You see, Ms. Dorothy.
While Lady Adele's descent from Lord Murphy doesn't change because of her poor work performance, I believe that Lady Adele must be hoping to show Lord Murphy what she's capable of and contribute to Lord Murphy's cause in the best way she can.
At least no worse than the other sons of Master Murphy.
And as one of the children of Lady Adele, you should also consider your dignity and dignity when making a decision.
I've studied vampire culture, so you don't think I chose you as my collaborator on the spur of the moment, do you? ”
Lao Huo showed a smile that made Dorothy grit her teeth, and then he picked up the finalized plan on the table and lowered it, Dorothy took it in her hand and glanced at it, she said in embarrassment:
"This kind of thing isn't banned, but it..."
"Power must be put to good use, Lady Dorothy, Translasia is in ruins, and it is up to the sword to restore prosperity to this land quickly."
He shook his head and said:
"Not to mention, we've put enough restrictions on it that its local impact will be minimized, and my suggestion is to show Lady Adele our plans.
It's just to build a casino for the consumption of the North Yankees and Sealand people, and it's not a bad thing, after all, whose money is not earned?
Isn't it a beautiful thing to suck their blood to help us develop? ”
"Casino-only?"
Dorothy narrowed her eyes and said:
"I'm starting to wonder what the hell you're doing in your plane? Mr. Huo, can you say this kind of thing casually?
Any sane ruler knows what terrible consequences can be for allowing such a thing to spread in his own territory!
You're challenging the order that Transncia has built so hard. ”
"I'm not, I don't, I'm not crazy enough to harm my own interests, because I'm part of forging this order with my own hands, and if I dare to do anything to destroy it, without your hands, my countrymen will find a way to punish me first."
Lao Huo shrugged his shoulders and explained:
"It's just a 'development experience' and that's it, it's been tested by another history.
I'm sure Master Murphy will understand me, he's a brilliant ruler who knows how to use all the tools that will help him.
Once we have the support of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau and the Blood Rat Gang, we can start construction immediately, and I have already contacted the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, who will send some novices to build the main building of the casino.
It only takes a week!
It will take a week at most for the casino to open.
The clock was stuck at the point where the first Northerners had dumped their wares in Transencia and looted the riches that belonged to the land.
Sooner or later, it won't work.
Whether or not you can make a name for yourself depends on this fight, so I hope you will take the initiative to help both of us move forward with this plan! ”
It's good to stop.
He looked at Lady Dorothy, who looked hesitant, and threw down the last Wang Fried, and said:
"Of course, your subordinates will be responsible for the security and logistical support of any link in the casino business chain, and I can't guarantee that all of them will get rich, but I can guarantee that they will be grateful to you for this new job and will see you as the eternal and only leader of the Blood Rat Gang.
In this way, your position and power in Translancia will not only be assured.
Or even go further, like Lord Dorothy? ”
