415. Warrior No. 2: The Strange Doctor Takes Off His Pants
Murphy received Adele's message and rushed to the "Death Hut" where the corpse witch Bella was, only to see Lady Bernice riding a bone horse back and forth in the tunnel below, accompanied by five elite skeleton attendants.
Compared to Bella, the grumbling witch who was forced to serve Murphy and the Crimson Keep, the knightess of Hades who was brought back from Pesticity by Hogg seemed to be at ease.
After seeing Murphy emerge from the shadows, she nodded to Murphy on horseback, reflecting Lady Bernice's graceful demeanor.
Well, although it always feels strange to use the word "elegant" to describe a deceased.
"Good day, Lady Bernice, how are you doing these few days at the Crimson Keep?"
Murphy flapped his wings and asked softly, and the hoarse laughter of the Knight of Hades came from under the gloomy helmet, and she said:
"It couldn't be more perfect, compared to Plague Town, this place is like a haven of tranquility for the undead.
Of course, my frequent, weird warriors occasionally annoy me, and they're always following me and trying to talk to me to trigger some kind of 'quest', but that's not a problem.
Adele taught me how to deal with them.
Out of some dark pleasure belonging to the dead, I asked them to bring back the elite minions of the dead for me, which I thought would take a long, long time, but it only took them three days to accomplish it.
I can sense that these elite skeleton soldiers are from Sico City, so are you and your warriors planning to enter that danger zone? ”
"That's the plan for the future."
Murphy glanced at the skeleton soldiers who followed Lady Bernice.
Their black hole eyes pulsed with blue soul fire, bound by the power of the knights of the underworld to manipulate the souls of the dead, like the most loyal servants arching by their master's side, and at the command of Bernice, these creatures would launch a devastating attack on their enemies.
After a few seconds of silence, Murphy asked:
"According to Hogg, even among the Knights of Hades in Plaguetown, you are among the most powerful of the Knights, who are still in debt to the Lame Paw to bring you back.
Then here's the question, Lady Bernice, if I want you to teach the legacy of the Knights of Hades to my warriors."
"Can't do it!"
Bernice, the half-elf, replied with the characteristic tampness of the undead:
"To become a knight of Hades, your warriors must die first, but they are only psychic projections, and they do not have the special concept of 'life and death'.
I'd be happy to teach them the tricks of manipulating the lower undead.
But I can't teach them to become knights of Hades, and it may have something to do with my ignorance of the power of Hades, as you can't expect me to learn too much from the gnolls.
However, "
The knightess of Hades paused, and said:
"If you can find a way from the source of all necromantic powers, I mean, to the legendary Moon Holy City, then maybe you can use the power of Hades for yourself."
"Your answer is exactly the same as Her Excellency Bella's answer to me, and it's a shame to see that such a cool heritage is so close at hand and that it can't be used."
Murphy shook his head, and he said gracefully:
"Well, then, I won't bother you with your walk.
But if you're in the mood, you can take a walk around the fight club at midnight, I've heard that the resting dead will have an uncontrollable anger and don't want to go into self-destruction, so find a way to vent it.
My Fight Club also hosts a routine challenge for the Translancia Championship, where you can find a target to vent your death rage. ”
"Thanks for the reminder."
Bernice nodded and said:
"I'll go, now go and talk to my useless husband, who and his apprentice are waiting for you."
Murphy blinked.
The heart said that the relationship between this undead couple was quite interesting.
Obviously caring about each other, Bella is willing to bow to the vampire in order to save her, and Bernice patrols the road all day for fear that the witch hunters above her head will rush in and purify Bella, the evil and weak corpse witch, but even after death, the two will quarrel.
Tsk, this is probably the unique way the undead get along, right?
After saying goodbye to Lady Bernice, Murphy soon arrives at Bella's hut, only to see the four coffin-bearer players in the "Demon Eight Heroes" coming out of the house shoulder to shoulder, still discussing how to play the "Undead Faction".
Beside them were the honest dog, who was guarded by three skeleton servants and a skeleton knight with a bone staff, swaggering and using teleportation skills, showing the style of a "master".
Not only is Godan the first person to carry a coffin, but his unique talent for "spatial awareness" allows him to master the obscure teleportation technique faster than other psionics.
Of course, no matter how talented he was, he was only a beginner, and the limit of his teleportation could only send him from the Crimson Keep to the village of Morland or a few farmsteads.
However, according to Fimis, this guy is progressing very quickly, and may soon become the best teleporter among the players
"Ahhh Brothers, save it! ”
Just as Murphy was thinking like this, the dog who had just stepped into the portal he had opened let out a ghostly howl, and stretched out a hand from the portal to call for help from the demon Bajie Ji beside him.
He shouted:
"Damn, I'm in the astral realm again! This is the second time this month, how can luck be so bad! Help, brother!
Pull me out, quick! ”
"! Save! ”
The boss of the Demon Eight Masters Clan, Curse Lan, roared, pounced and grabbed the dog's arm and pulled him towards the material world.
The other brothers also rushed over to help, and it took a lot of effort to pull the dog back from the astral plane before the portal dissipated.
But the unlucky guy also brought something "something" from the astral plane.
Several strange creatures like shadow squids floated in the air, making high-pitched noises and waving tentacles and attacking with fangs and claws.
Fortunately, although the Demon Eight Masters is funny, the strength is indeed there, and in an instant, four or five curses were smashed on it, and there were manipulated undead minions who stepped forward to slash and kill, and finally killed these soul eater squid.
They were quite lucky, a soul eater squid was "exploded" with equipment, and the shattered and dark skull smashed on the ground to make a few buddies who followed the evil path flow play get together and whispered, and they didn't dare to reach out to take it.
After all, it's a thing from the astral plane, and the hell knows what strange power is left on this thing?
And the rescued dog no longer has the majesty it used to be, and he will sit next to him under the guard of his undead servant and gasp for breath, he covers his head and says regretfully:
", I miscalculated another coordinate, this teleportation technique is so difficult, why do you need to write down so many formulas? Damn, I just lost a skeleton mage.
Oh my god!
This is a high-end item that I 'borrowed' from Hogg, and I'm going to lose it now. ”
This little episode made Lord Murphy, who was hiding in the shadows and watching the excitement, very satisfied, and his little players were really full of energy, which was great.
They haven't been beaten by a cruel society that has caused them to lose the joy of exploring life, which is exactly what they want to see.
With the playful mentality of "seeing people unlucky", Murphy pushed open the door of the death hut.
As a result, when I looked up, I saw that under the light of several dark phosphorus fires, the gloomy corpse witch Bella was standing next to her with her hands behind her back, watching the apprentice "Pants Demon" who had already put on the necromancer's robe doing an autopsy.
The Trouser Demon had recovered from his previous weakened state, and in Murphy's eyes, the projection of this unique little player's psionic energy at this time was very solid.
This means that he is regaining his "health".
It seems that the corpse witch Bella has indeed not touched the fish during this time, and it is really dedicated to cultivating the little player who is unique in all aspects.
Murphy didn't disturb the action between the "master and apprentice", he quietly approached and watched the movements of the untrousers who were concentrating.
Ah Feng held the "scalpel" wrapped around the spiritual energy of death in both hands, and dissected and studied the corpse of the jackal on the stone platform in front of him, and his every move was full of professional beauty.
The knife was very steady, and there was hardly any superfluous movement, and he simply took off the two hearts of the biting brute who died in the smuggler's woodland conflict, one large and one small, and soaked them in the jar prepared by the corpse witch for future research.
The performance of the pantsless demon also made the corpse witch Bella nod frequently.
It can be seen that Bella is very satisfied with her apprentice's basic skills in "necromancer knowledge", and this superb dissection skill alone is enough to take off his pants and stand out in any place where necromancers gather.
If you want to control death, you must first understand death!
From this theoretical point of view, the dissection of the dead is the most basic skill for necromancers on this continent.
"Not bad! Your skills are beyond my imagination, and your understanding of the structure of living beings is far greater than that of fools who chase death and are unwilling to learn steadily.
It seems that we can skip these basic lessons and start exploring the mysteries of Hades. ”
Bella exclaimed:
"You will be the best necromancer, and if you were born in the Songhai Empire, you will probably be the best Priest of the Bright Moon. But before we get started, please finish talking to the local lord.
Time is very generous to us.
Come and find me when you are ready, my disciple. ”
The Corpse Witch nodded to Murphy with a 180° twist that a living person would never do, and the green fire under the hood could scare the crying child.
But Murphy, a vampire, is not afraid of any of this.
After all, in the eyes of most mortals, vampires are much more terrifying than moving corpses.
As Bella left, the Trouser took off the bloodstained leather gloves on his hands, washed his hands and took off the mask he had made, and then turned back to Murphy and said:
"Thank you for your help, Mistress Murphy."
"Oh? Why thank me? ”
Murphy looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
Unlike when he had just woken up in Transnicia a few days ago, Demon Ah Feng had completely regained his composure and professionalism as a professional doctor, and his every move was with a polite temperament.
From his calm posture at this time, Murphy could deduce that Ah Feng might have guessed some truth, but he preferred Ah Feng to say it himself.
In the face of Murphy's rhetorical question, the pants-untainting demon was silent for a few seconds, he rubbed his real cheek, and said:
"This isn't what they call it a game! This is real, I have been thinking about these questions since I woke up, and from my father and Brother Mu's description, I can tell that their understanding of Translancia is based on scientific rational inference, but the problem is that my state at this time cannot be explained by science.
I am an MD.
I knew very well that it was impossible for me to wake up from the outside world, and that was not a problem that modern medicine could solve.
However, what science has not been able to do, metaphysics has done.
You.
You are all real.
My first reaction when I woke up was correct, I did come to a different world after encountering irreparable danger.
But not in the way I know it. ”
Ah Feng looked at Murphy with a complicated expression, and he said softly:
"I can't understand some of the details yet, but I guess it must have something to do with you, so I have plenty of reason to thank you.
Whatever your purpose, there is no disputing that you saved me and restored my broken family. ”
"Well, I accept your thanks."
Murphy nodded, not sure or denial.
He looked at Ah Feng and said:
"Your father and your cousin have been scouting the filthy swamp in the Smuggler's Woodlands lately, your mentor Bella needs to eat the Ghost Atlas in the hands of the Gnoll Warlock to keep your spirits safe, and your mother has been qualified for the test and will enter the game in the next batch.
Their activities in Translancia are not based on the search for pleasure.
You're still here, so they won't give up, and from that point on, I've used you to get great samurai for my power.
Do you blame me for that? Ah Feng. ”
"They're not really going to die here, are they?"
The MD sighed and said:
"I'm uncomfortable, but I don't have any reason to blame you for it, and I probably understand my responsibilities in Transnesia.
I will do everything in my power to ensure the long-term peace of your power, so as to save my own life that has fallen to the bottom.
But I have a small request, and I hope you will grant it to me. ”
"You say, my first professional doctor."
Murphy made a "please" gesture, and Ah Feng in front of him hesitated, he raised his hands and said:
"Until I am sure that I can live in this state of Translasia without any restraint or disturbance, I hope you will not accept more unfortunate people like me.
Perhaps you see this as a salvation.
But be assured that the risks of such an act are no more gentle than allowing them to die in their sleep in the physical world.
I can understand that people like us will unconditionally become your most credible fanatics once reborn in Translasia, and we can do everything we can for you to ensure that we can restart our lives in our 'second home'.
I can understand the temptation of this choice to you, but please suppress your desire in this regard a little, Lord Murphy, as a forerunner among the unfortunate, it is my duty to explore a path for my companions who will later set foot in Transnesia.
That's my second duty! ”
"Phew, am I such a gloomy and evil image in your eyes?"
Murphy sighed and said:
"Xiao Wei Ming would never describe me like that, maybe this is the difference between an innocent girl and a social person who always likes to think too much.
You always think about your situation from the worst possible perspective.
I will not persuade you that this is not necessary, you can see with your own eyes, and I am sure you will get an answer.
But as you said, your unique circumstances dictate that you will be my most trusted warrior when you wake up, and our trust is based on the bonds of mutual existence.
It's a natural obedience and obedience.
Therefore, I will grant you the title of 'Murphy's Warrior', and you will become the second otherworldly spirit to be recognized by me after Xiao Weiming.
Of course, the process still has to go.
I'll be posting a series of Trials missions for you."
"The Grimoire!"
Ah Feng raised his head and said very firmly:
"If it is indeed relevant to my life in the New World and others who share my tragic fate, then I have enough reason to pursue it and acquire it.
Allow me to join the action, Master Murphy, I can't convince myself to enjoy what my father and Brother Mu have done for me.
What I need, I've got to get it back! ”
"Good!"
Murphy was even more satisfied.
He looked at the trouser in front of him, and he said:
"That's it, that's the mentality!
What you crave must be retrieved with your own hands, and I have to say that although you have only just awakened, you already look like a true Transansian.
Then let's go.
Once you've learned the necessary things from Bella, you'll be on your way, but don't be in a hurry, the strategy for the Filthy Swamp will begin next month.
I mean, you'll have to stay here until then, at least until you are reunited with your poor mother.
I learned from Brother Cat that your mother has been living in self-blame all these years, and that the pressure from the past has made her almost insane.
And you, my warrior, are the only key to unlocking this pressure.
You see, I'm a vampire, but I'm not ruthless.
I'm full of humanity, and I'm even more like a human with a conscience than some black-hearted humans, isn't it? ”
