"The number of Otherworldly Warriors currently fighting in Translancia is 617, and counting the 300 who will receive their helmets in three days and the 200 self-recruitment slots in the hands of the Student Party, our Warriors will finally cross the 1,000 mark by the end of next week.

Over the next month or so, I will send out all the places on hand until the number of players is saturated again, and the number of residents under the management of Translancia has exceeded 220,000. That's 2,200 people. ”

In Archon Miriam's office, Murphy is "reconciling" with Miriam, while Triss stands by the office window looking out at the overcast sky today.

His Excellency felt that a second snow might fall on Transnesia in a few days.

This time the snow was going to be heavier than the previous ones, and the weather would have been difficult to endure in previous seasons, but the first snow had proved that at least in the vicinity of the Crimson Keep, the sheer cold was no longer deadly.

The Scarlet Archon shook her head at Murphy's description, she opened her work notes, flipped to the page where the demographic changes were recorded, and said to Murphy:

"The actual number is more than you estimated, because the serfs in the Kafhoka area are being sent to Transnesia, although at first it was only a private agreement between Lao Huo and the Beikee merchants in Treasure Bay, but the previous snow helped us a lot.

The pace of deep winter is becoming more and more urgent, and the landless farmers who have nowhere to go are spontaneously moving towards Transnsia.

Yesterday two boatloads of farmers were sent to the docks in the Under Armour Hills, where they were sent to Fort Rapids and are being quarantined and registered.

I thought it was a completely spontaneous act of self-help, but last night a message came from the Riptide Riders that the farmers had been lured by the vampires of the Thorn Clan, and that there were more farmers and wanderers waiting to be transported on the docks of Bernie.

Madame Chanie doesn't seem to want to see so many people frozen to death this winter, so she secretly helped us, and Count André didn't want to see his own people die in the winter, so he also sent his own faction to help secretly.

But to be honest, I don't think it's a vampire Grand Duke's conscience discovery.

Lady Shani's intention is likely to stabilize the situation in the Kafhoka region as soon as possible, and she has thrown all these unstable factors into us, and the Winter Wolves are happy to see these outcasts sent away.

They even sent men to maintain order in the port of the city of Bernie, and gave the homeless people enough hard bread to eat for three days.

Archduke Thorn and General Baldwin knew very well that we were the only forces in the vicinity of the Great Plains of Kafhoka that could receive and properly resettle so many displaced people, perhaps because they felt that the resettlement of so many displaced people would be a great burden on us.

Or, in fact, they are using this method to achieve the purpose of strengthening Transancia, to put it simply, they are sending us 'cannon fodder'.

What a cruel political maneuver. ”

"But we still have to thank Shani."

Murphy whispered:

"Whatever her reason for moving this forward, it doesn't hurt us, and of course it means that the Blood Vulture Clan owes the Thorns a favor. Can Riptide Castle eat these people? ”

"Yes."

Miriam replied:

"The administrative and logistical team at Riptide Fort is very professional, they were busy from noon until midnight yesterday, not only did they not congest the docks, but they even divided the farmers who came from afar into a temporary gathering area and a special quarantine area.

Without even our dispatch, the Riptide Riders took the initiative to contact the witch hunters of Morland Village to carry out a large-scale epidemic dispersal and plague detection.

With the professionalism of these logistical knights, I'm confident enough that they can take more landless farmers into the perimeter of their stronghold, and I've read the forms they've sent me, and I have to say that they've done the art of counting this thing.

It's so professional

However, His Excellency Knight Serac Fanta, who is in charge of the general logistics of the Riptide Knights, needs more food, gray tents and fuel for the camp, which is understandable, and I have already made arrangements, and Chauvin will personally go over to the battle.

He was born in the Kafhoka area, and he is quite familiar with the situation there, so there should be no problems. ”

"So, with the influx of these landless and displaced people, Murphy Jr.'s expectation of having 3,000 warriors before the Black Plague arrives is no longer an extravagant hope, right?"

Tracy looked back and asked, and the archon thought for a moment, and said:

"With the addition of these displaced people, coupled with the continuous introduction of more hill tribes from the Sachs region on the Ancestral Woodlands, it may be a bit difficult to add 80,000 people in less than two months. But at the beginning of the war, the formation of a 3,000-strong Gentile legion was not really a big problem.

After all, we're going to stop the gnolls on the front line of the Barren Mountains.

There is still a buffer period of time before they wash into the filthy swamps and Transasia. ”

"Very well, then I'm going to keep you bothered for the rest of this time, Miriam."

Murphy Wen said:

"At the end of the year, I will give generous rewards to civil servants who have worked for several months, and I think that the list of promotions at the end of this year may be appropriately expanded, and we cannot give more material rewards to the hard-working staff during the war years, so the spiritual satisfaction and affirmation should be appropriately tilted.

For example, the promotion of knighthoods to our first administrative knights is not negotiable if they want fiefdoms.

And this.

Although you have been reluctant to tell me about your birthday, I guess you don't have the idea of throwing yourself a birthday celebration this year, so I brought the gift I prepared for you. ”

Murphy patted the box next to him, which contained a set of "Far Traveler" personal protective gear.

He said to the astonished Miriam:

"I won't let you refuse this gift, it can help you avoid a lot of dangers, and it's not difficult to operate, and Triss will teach you how to use it tonight."

"Okay."

Miriam brushed her hair, she glanced at Murphy, and whispered:

"But my birthday is long gone, Lord Governor, the day before we met in the village of Morland, the day my hometown was slaughtered. Alas, it was the worst birthday of my life.

But without mentioning the sad things, let's take a look at my plans for Holy Blood Day.

With only five days left until the most important vampire festival of the year, I think we might struggle to make it spectacular. ”

"There's no need."

Murphy rejected the proposal from Miriam, and he stood up and said with a smile on his face:

"We don't need to use the resources in the city at all, and we don't need to make our city lose money because of it, didn't I say it before? These events are for the Otherworldly Warriors, they plan it, they host it, and we just need to give them the hidden rewards they need after the festival is over.

I believe that this optimism will infect our inhabitants, who will forget the boredom of reality and look forward to the future.

You have to believe that the Otherworldly people have a much better experience with large events than we do. ”

"But any event needs a theme."

Tracey glanced at Murphy.

The little feelings of shame in her heart that had been aroused by the intimate encounter in the Land of Creation that night had almost subsided, and she would say to Murphy:

"You can leave everything to them, but you have to specify at least one thing, right?

And five days is really too little time to prepare, since we decided to have fun with the people, we have to bring a little bit of gimmick to our residents, just like the previous boxing championship, I think that's a good idea.

Even though it's been a month, there's still a lot of discussion in the city, and it's clear that locals prefer this kind of straightforward buzz.

If you ask someone from another world to perform a play, I don't think many people will want to join in. ”

"Hmm"

Murphy thought it was a good idea, but it was a bit aesthetically tiring to have another fight just after the boxing tournament, so he thought for a moment and took out his notebook to record his inspiration and flipped through it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The Governor closed his notebook and asked Tris and Miriam:

"I had painted them a pie and promised that they would challenge me with just four letters of recommendation from some of the best local people. When the Championship was going on, I told Dorothy to add it to the mix, but then the swamp battle broke out and I didn't have time to keep an eye on it.

So, how many players have got recommendations from those champions now? ”

"This has to be counted."

Miriam rubbed the corners of her eyes and said:

"But I estimate that the number will not be small, at least our Earl of Baishan in order to win over the warriors, almost every battle he participated in is releasing water, and with the increasing number of psionics among the warriors, the pass rate of the 'Knowledge Challenge' on the eldest lady's side is also said to be improving.

I'll do the math and report the details to you before the evening.

But are you sure you want to start this challenge on Holy Blood Day? I'm not doubting your strength, Murphy, but I'm worried that if your warriors are really good, what if they do beat you?

It was a challenge in front of a large audience!

If you lose, the locals' impression of you will probably change a little. ”

"Non-existent!"

Master Murphy said with confidence:

"Even if you give them 40 people, it's absolutely impossible to beat me at their current level, I'll crush them in terms of reaction speed and movement speed alone, but since it's a challenge, you have to give some prizes."

His Excellency the Governor found a new codex from his bag that he had used to record his swordsmanship.

He said:

"Let's use this precious knowledge as a prize, the search for strength has always been difficult, and not every warrior can have such a sparring partner."

"Can I give them reinforcements?"

Tracey suddenly became interested.

She raised her hand and said:

"I suddenly wanted to see my little Murphy being beaten up by the Warriors so I could give them a little reinforcement before the fight.

No, it's not just me.

The guys who gave them testimonials have already acknowledged their strength, so in a challenge like this, the strong must give the weak ones the necessary boost to ensure that the battle can be fought beautifully.

Little Murphy, don't show that bad expression, you see, it doesn't make sense for you anymore, you should try a more advanced fight.

40 Strengthened Champions form a battle formation to qualify as your opponent, aren't they?

Wow, that's a great idea!

I'm going to talk to Philimis and Maxim and Adele. ”

After saying that, Tris threw out the teleportation technique to make herself disappear in front of Murphy, who had a headache, and Miriam, who covered her mouth and chuckled, and only after Tris left, Miriam asked in a low voice:

"You two seem to have a bit of an unpleasant quarrel? Can I know what's going on? Isn't your relationship so good that you mix oil in honey? Like the Siamese people, Tracey doesn't resist talking to you and me in front of outsiders now. ”

"You'd better not know, you innocent little girl."

Murphy glanced at Miriam angrily, and said:

"Or, you'll know when you have a boyfriend, to be honest, I don't even know where I provoked her, obviously she took the initiative."

"But Triss is going to give the warriors a boost and let them beat you."

Miriam twisted open her glass of water, took a sip of water, moistened her throat, and said to Murphy:

"Are you sure you still have faith?"

"Of course."

Murphy touched his heart, and he said:

"It's not just that they're improving, I'm also improving, if my warriors think they can beat me up with a super buff, then I'll definitely give them a big surprise and let them know that the majesty of the main NPC is not to be provoked!

Until then, of course, I'll give them a little hope and then snuff it out with my own hands.

Hahaha, I'm such a terrible badass, right? ”

——

About the origin of the Holy Blood Festival, there was a plot party in the game before and translated it to the forum, to put it simply, the so-called Holy Blood Festival is to commemorate the beginning of the era 1,100 years ago, the day when the ancients of the blood clan established the clan and blood system on the barren continent.

The vampires saw it as the beginning of their own civilization.

They celebrate the third week after the winter solstice every year, and the entire celebration lasts for ten days, and according to various information found in the game, vampires everywhere will put aside important things and start having fun when the Holy Blood Day arrives.

And if you play too much for fun, there will be unexpected situations, so every year after the Holy Blood Festival, each clan will have an extra batch of blood.

However, it is obviously difficult to apply the experience of the past to the current Transnesia, because the New Blood Vulture Clan is not a traditional force in the first place.

Just after Meng Haha reminded the people on the forum about the arrival of the "Holy Blood Day", in the evening of the same day, there were some visible changes on the forum.

The first is that the entire forum layout has been changed to a dark vampire style, decorated with candles and wine, and the background music will automatically play when entering the forum.

It is a traditional ballad of the Blood Clan, called "Scarlet Greeting", which is said to have been performed by Lord Pa Ying himself during the first Holy Blood Festival.

Don't say it, it's really good.

The feminine bass tune is added to the melody of a very distinctive lady soprano chant, which is very similar to the elf poem in a fantasy story, and has a sense of holiness unique to the choir, which is particularly atmospheric and also announces to players that the first holiday event in "Real Otherworld" is just around the corner.

In addition to the changes to the forum layout, each player's avatar also has a limited amount of costumes, and you can make your own avatar into a "vampire filter", that is, the posture your character will show if it really becomes a vampire.

Because of Alpha's "excellent technology", the effect of this filter is very amazing.

The student party shouted and uploaded their personal photos to the forum, then went through them with vampire filters, and then poured the photos into their mobile phones, as if they had taken a rather handsome "vampire art photo".

Fa Ge's assistant "Sister Xiaomi" also released an official post on the theme of the Holy Blood Day event at eight o'clock in the evening of the same day:

[The sound of midnight silence has sounded, the scarlet dawn is calling, dear Gentiles, the Transcian Administration and the Blood Vulture Clan invite you to participate in the upcoming celebration of the 'Holy Blood Festival'.

The development team has prepared a wealth of festive activities for you, and I hope you enjoy life in an exotic land other than combat.

Blood Day Warm-up Event 1: Festive Support:

In the past, the land would be decorated with the most extravagant scenery because of the arrival of the Holy Blood Festival, which was the most lively and happy ten days of the year, but in this special season, the Scarlet Keep, which had just emerged from the disaster, did not have so many manpower and material resources to push the atmosphere of the Holy Blood Festival into a carnival, and the troubled Archon Miriam hoped to use the power of the omnipotent Gentiles.

For four days from the start of the warm-up event until the official opening of the Holy Blood Festival, all players will be able to go to the Crimson Keep borough to claim the 'Festive Support' Quest.

This type of quest is daily, can be done once a day, each quest lasts for 12 rings, and the content is to help the administration find holiday supplies and decorate the city, as well as prepare for the celebration.

Daily Missions will reward you with the "Archon's Thanks" Pack, which includes, but is not limited to, Gold, Supplies, Psionic Pet, Moonlight Butterfly, and Special Costume - Blood Reveler Outfit.

Prompt!

There is a very small chance that this bundle will result in a 'Rare Skin: Miriam: First Year of Administration'.

Countdown to the Holy Blood Day Warm-up Event 2: Grand Challenge:

Governor Murphy had never forgotten his promise to the Gentile Warriors, and he had emphasized that he would give them a chance to challenge him, and now, Lord Murphy, felt that the time had come!

During the 10 days from the start of the warm-up event to the start of the Blood Day Challenge, all players will be able to go to special NPCs to obtain 'Strong Letters of Recommendation', and players with four letters of recommendation will be able to participate in the Challenge against Governor Murphy before the start of the Blood Day Challenge.

This challenge is a limited-time team battle mode!

The maximum number of people allowed to enter is 40 people!

The number of challenges allowed is limited to 5!

If the challenge is successful, all participants will receive 'Governor Murphy's Martial Arts Codex' x1.

Prompt!

This challenge is reserved for the Holy Blood Festival, so players who don't qualify for the challenge don't have to be sad to lose, and Master Murphy will be back in next year's Blood Day Challenge.

Blood Day Warm-up Event 3 Tris's Revenge:

Due to unknown reasons, the relationship between Lady Tracey and Governor Murphy has taken a small wave, and in order to punish Murphy for his indecency, Lady Tracey has decided to provide various buffs and combat potion replenishments for the warriors in the Grand Challenge.

From the start of the warm-up event, all players who have received a letter of recommendation can go to Lady Tris's Alchemy Hut and earn rare combat potions by donating wine to Lady Trissy.

Before the Grand Challenge, after all Champions have donated more than 500 bottles of wine, Lady Tris will appear directly at the challenge site and cast powerful buffs on the challengers.

If the challengers can defeat Lord Murphy, they will receive the 'Lady Trissy's Eyebrows Boost' package.

This pack contains riches, power, and knowledge that you could never have imagined.

More Holy Blood Day events will be unlocked gradually along with plot recommendations, in short, please bring your friends to participate in the preparation and carnival of Holy Blood Day.

In addition, the Administration Office specially reserved five booths for the Gentiles at the event to reflect the cultural characteristics of the Gentiles.

If, at the end of the event, the Gentile performance project is unanimously approved by the residents of the Crimson Keep and Professor Malcolm, a historian and folklorist, the Administration will give the guild a generous administrative and material reward. 】

The post immediately attracted a lot of attention, but aside from those who were discussing the big challenges and rewards, some of the gossipy guys quickly got a taste of "melon" from the post.

Lumina Imprint: [Murphy-sama and Lady Tracy are in a bad mood, I thought they were a model couple. I think this plot is worth digging into, have any brothers who have worked in the paparazzi before signed up for my gossip team?

Heavy recruitment. 】

Lady Gentle Atmospheric Water: [Don't die! If you don't want to be a member of the Mafia Clan. 】

Lumina Imprint: [Oh, I see, you didn't say anything to me. 】

King Meow: [Hahaha, I'm cowardly, little Lumi is really a coward, what are you afraid of, chasing NPC gossip is also a way to play the game, you see I'm not afraid! ] 】

Sister Pomegranate upside down the weeping willow: [Nonsense, you are already the big chief of the Black Hand Clan, you are afraid of hair.] 】
