521. From vowing to win to fighting for the last survivor's place! -【Commuter Pass Plus 3/10】
Happy times always pass very quickly, and the speed of time seems to be different under different emotions.
The good days of the Holy Blood Festival seem to never end, but unfortunately, in the carnival of the day by day, the time has finally come to the closing day of the Holy Blood Day.
Early this morning, several booths in the city square had been removed after the last performance, which made the old and young masters in the city feel sorry, especially the "Alien Fashion Show" of the Silver Moon Troupe Today's performance was really a big job.
The genius designer Mrs. Water will return 27 of the most popular outfits in the past nine days for a limited time.
The old and young masters at the booth were screaming from beginning to end to watch the performance, and even some fiery young people had nosebleeds on the spot, and there was no need to specifically count which costume was the most popular with everyone, just from the cheers and applause that sounded around it, it could be judged that even the Translancian people had the same understanding of "beauty" as men from other worlds.
This is actually quite a "sad" thing.
Because Mrs. Water unsurprisingly found that men in any world like black and the more they show, the more they like it.
Tragedy!
It seems that the locals' appreciation of "beauty" needs to be improved.
However, to the relief of Lady Water, the Paliano Knight, who is the carrier of the legend of the "True Love Knight" on the mainland, watched her fashion show and gave a super high evaluation, and the Golden Knight even gave the "Midnight Rose that Never Fades" as a "prize" to the girls who appeared on the last day.
As the name suggests, this delicate flower can maintain bloom under any circumstances, and it is by no means a precious thing that can be born in nature.
The most powerful thing is that this bouquet of roseknights' appreciation for beauty is also a rare "strange piece of equipment" in itself, it does not belong to the traditional equipment sequence, but as long as you wear it, you can permanently increase the speed of psionic energy recovery by 10%.
That's definitely a big deal.
Therefore, at the final curtain call, the Water Lady invited the Paliano knights to "walk the catwalk" with them.
She selected three classic men's outfits for the Rose Knight, from a handsome black military uniform to a classic trench coat and cargo hat with a humanistic atmosphere, to a subtle and dark mafia outfit.
These were excellent designs that maximized masculinity, and the Paliano knight was full of praise, and he happily appeared with the beautiful objects he had found during the ten days, and the results were unanimously approved by the onlookers.
After all, ordinary handsome guys will make men resist, but when they are handsome to a certain extent, that resistance will also evolve into envy and appreciation.
The Silver Moon Troupe's fashion show was undoubtedly the most surprising performance of the Holy Blood Day celebrations, but the other booths were no slouch.
Although the Big Birds' "10 Days of Non-stop Crosstalk Performance" was far inferior to the fashion show in terms of "customer flow", they gained at least 1,500 pan-believers for the Avalon Church in these 10 days, which made Father Eugene Sr. quite satisfied.
Even weep in front of the icon.
In his private name, he selected some reliable and durable high-quality components from his past combat equipment and gave them to the "missionaries" of the Big Bird Regiment, plus the reward income he received when the cross talk performance was wonderful.
Brother Meow made a rough estimate, although it is not clear how much they earned, but they definitely did not lose.
Lao Huo's Charity Gambling King Contest decided the final champion at midnight yesterday.
Major Ron, from the Plantagenet Kingdom, unsurprisingly became the first "Charity Gambling King" in Transnesia!
He obtained the 36-month gold VIP qualification of Zangbao Bay Casino, but he definitely can't go to the casino to work for Lao Huo, but it doesn't matter, because the remaining runners-up and third runners-up and even the remaining 5 people who reached the semi-finals were recruited by Treasure Bay as "service personnel".
The addition of this group of old gamblers will make the development of Lao Huo's casinos and villages more organized, and can develop gambling equipment that is more suitable for the "local baby physique".
The most dismal was the concert booth of the student party.
Otherworldly pop music still has too little audience in the local area, and the student party entertains themselves almost the whole time, but the good news is that the player base is very receptive to this thing, and in the last few days of the Holy Blood Festival, players with singing skills will perform on stage.
The self-entertaining mode is not bad, although there are no rewards, but at least everyone is happy.
At the end of last night's concert, he was coaxed by several apprentices to Lao Chentou and sang a song "Unforgettable Tonight", which won full applause.
And Niu Niu's song "Intimate Lover" was interrupted halfway by the audience below who were unwilling to eat dog food, but it didn't matter, the lover's eyes were out of Xi Shi, although he didn't finish singing, but Anbo was already moved not to want it.
From this point of view, no one loses.
Although the booth has been removed, and the blood vulture sculpture of the Thorn Clan standing in the square has begun to melt, the festive atmosphere in the city is still undiminished, especially after lunch, the people in the whole square are not less, but more than enough.
Everyone knows that the Grand Finale, the Governor Challenge, will have its final attempt this afternoon, which is enough to arouse the last bit of anticipation from the locals after ten days of revelry, and they see this smash fight as the perfect curtain call for this year's Holy Blood Festival.
Those who have been following this battle are familiar with the four failed attempts of the Warriors in the past few days.
They followed the game almost from the beginning, and saw the Warriors laugh down on the first attempt, leaps and bounds on the second attempt, steady on the third attempt, and near-success on the fourth.
In the fourth attempt yesterday, 40 warriors have successfully survived the convergence of the second and third stages, and they have survived to the stage where the third golden powerhouse, Mrs. Shani, will give strong support.
According to the voiceover of Ms. Dorothy, who served as the "Challenge Commentator", during yesterday's attempt, Governor Murphy's health had been reduced to less than 20% by the Warriors, entering a phase called "Slash".
Although the locals did not understand the meaning of these terms, the Transanians had always been astute in the matter of combat, and they could understand that the warriors were only one last step away from defeating Governor Murphy.
This worries some and exalts others.
But regardless of what the audience thinks, the four failed attempts have proven two problems.
First, the mountain warriors from the Seris tribe are really amazing! Not only are they good at fighting, but they are also good at learning from the heat of battle and adjusting their tactics, and their coordination, their awareness and their courage are worth learning from all.
Second, Governor Murphy is really strong!
He himself is a tomb sword guard of the Black Iron Rank, but he is not defeated by one enemy and forty.
This is still in the sewers, which limit the ability to fly and move, and the warriors chose to challenge during the day, which is the moment when the vampires are weak, and if they fight with Lord Murphy in the open area in the night, these forty warriors may not even survive the first stage.
Ah, our Governor of Translasia is amazing!
With this in mind, it's easy to see why the natives' desire to support Murphy has become increasingly evident during the ten days of Blood Day.
The Transans worship the strong!
When the powerful man gives them shelter and leadership, this worship can easily evolve into obedience and loyalty under subtle guidance! Therefore, from this point of view, Murphy's careful thinking about choosing this moment to carry out this Governor's Challenge has basically been perfectly implemented.
At half past three in the afternoon, the final challenge began on time.
It was still a real-time live broadcast of psionic energy projection on the square, but this time the members of the "Red Devil Pavilion" of the eldest lady Fiemis went out collectively, and they used four different perspectives to "live" this final challenge, which made the number of psionic curtains in the square reach four, which was quite dizzying.
At the edge of the crowd, in a small booth, Major Ron, triumphantly holding the nameplate and trophy of the Charity Gambling King, sat next to Colonel Frazier, and around the two of them there was a circle of Plantagenet non-commissioned officers who were about to return to the barracks in the afternoon.
Their eyes lingered on the psionic curtain in front of them.
As a "foreign power", Colonel Fraser has not missed a single challenge in the past few days, and he is eager to know where the upper limit of Murphy's strength is.
This question is also one of the answers that Marshal Loren wants to know.
As already considered the "enemy of the Plantagenet", the Pioneer Corps must have as much useful information about Murphy as possible in order to use the means available to them in the event of future conflicts.
"I don't think we need to stand here stupidly and watch this stupid game, this kind of big public game is usually scripted, right? I don't believe that the vampire lord would risk losing face in front of all the lords for a real challenge. ”
Major Ron stroked his "Grand Trophy" and whispered to Frazier:
"And no matter how stubborn and powerful he is with a black iron, your four silver-level guards find the opportunity to rush up, isn't it like chopping melons and vegetables? Once something like strength rises to the rank difference, no matter how powerful the skill is, it can't make up for the quality. ”
"Listen to what my guards have to say."
The Colonel stared intently at the projection on the psionic curtain in front of him, while the low-key Silver Flower Swordsman beside him shook his head and whispered to Major Ron:
"And we can't kill Governor Murphy or not, given the speed and special abilities he showed in battle, it would be difficult to just stop him, and I'm sure that Governor Murphy didn't show all his smug force in battle.
It has been rumored among the locals that Governor Murphy had faced the enemy of the Golden Rank and retreated.
I thought it was a ridiculous joke, but after seeing four games with my own eyes, I began to lean into the idea that the legend did have a possibility.
Major, I admit that the disparity in strength at the rank level often means an easy victory, but this conclusion cannot be applied to the 'fighting geniuses', who are born to trample on tradition. ”
"You mean, Governor Murphy is a genius?"
Ron frowned.
The foilman shook his head and said:
"Genius is just a word used by us mediocre people to describe great people, and Governor Murphy is obviously not among them, and if you analyze this game, you will find that Governor Murphy has been using his sword skills against the enemy for the past four days.
And in our intelligence, he's also an astral summoner.
It's the oldest class that can't be often reasoned with, so my advice to Fraser's master is that even if there is a conflict, we don't have to resort to decapitation tactics.
Unless, we can really recruit a golden powerhouse and make him sacrifice his dignity to become an assassin."
Major Ron understood this unthinkable conclusion, and he handed the trophy to his squire, and watched the upcoming challenge with Fraser.
At the entrance of the sewer arena at this time, Brother Bang glanced at the lit arena in front of him and Master Murphy sitting on the "Pawa" dining chair, he took a deep breath, and turned around to take the tube of pure black alchemy liquid from the sweaty untrousers Mo Ah Feng, who came here with a sweat.
The other thirty-nine had such a tube of liquid in their hands.
Ah Feng also explained beside him:
"This is the 'Decisive Wine', which was only improved last night under the guidance of Mentor Bella, and we tested it with Gnoll Captives, and once drunk, it will strongly stimulate your body, giving you a super boost for a short period of time at the cost of overdrawing your life.
According to my observations, the power increase can reach up to 50%!
And the closer you get to death, the stronger the burst of burning life.
But you need to be careful, it's so overbearing that I can't understand how the gnolls would find out about it, but even if I made it harmless, it would still be deadly.
If the strongest gnolls can't last more than ten minutes after drinking, then I think the maximum time you can last after drinking is only ten minutes, and the greater the intensity of the battle, the shorter the effective time. ”
"So, if you drink it, you will die?"
Che Che asked, Ah Feng nodded solemnly and said:
"I won't doubt it, I'll die! This thing destroys internal organs, and the after-effects are fatal, but if the burning of life is forcibly interrupted by a special method before exhaustion, you may still survive.
But that's so rare that I can't say for sure.
By the way, do you really want to do this?
All of you, the 'elite players', will be offline for three days, and the collective power of the players will be severely weakened. ”
"But there's only one chance to challenge Master Murphy."
Sister Pomegranate clenched the solution in her hand, and she said:
"Maybe it's only once a year, and Lord Murphy's strength will increase as the plot progresses, and if you can't win now, you won't have a chance in the future. We'll have to try at least once, right? ”
"That's right, this battle is no longer a simple victory."
Brother Cat leaned on his heavy sword and whispered to the brothers beside him:
"It's also a test for ourselves! We've been fighting here for the shortest two months, and the longest for four, and we're going to see how far the once delicate urbanites can be reborn in the world of the law of the jungle."
"Come on, come on, bring this."
It's been a long time since I've been working with everyone, and today I put down my "business empire", he walked in the crowd, stuffing special charms into the hands of the warriors.
He explains:
"This is the psionic spell of the 'Last Stand' spell, I've been making this kind of thing for you these days, put it close to your body, you only need to recite the command 'Win or Die' to activate, these are disposable! Instantly drain your life into corrosive psionic energy.
No cast time, applies instantly.
Even Master Murphy will never be able to avoid it, the only drawback is that you need to be completely voluntary, you can't resist the extraction, and it hurts very, very well when it takes effect.
Use this thing when the situation is not good after entering the slash, and use it with the decisive wine to double the absolute effect! ”
"I think we can actually make the Decisive Wine and the Last Stand Charm a daily supply."
The little rich brother played with the charm in his hand, and he grinned and said:
"This thing can make the scene before we go offline every time it becomes extremely exciting, and when the 'Transcia Bistro' goes online, we can still do a 'Top 10 Wonderful Offline Every Week' clip or something, what do you say?"
"Hey, what a talent you kid!"
Brother Meow, who was carrying the legendary battle axe, laughed and said:
"That's it! Guys, see you in the secret room at midnight in today's battle. ”
"Hey, that's not imposing at all!"
Ah Ru retorted unhappily:
"It should be a little more imposing, it's better to say that, goodbye everyone at Valhalla! Anyway, in the eyes of the locals, we are already war heroes from another world, and shouting like this is also in line with their worldview. ”
"Okay, okay, all listen to you, go! Beat up Master Murphy! ”
At the moment when the warriors appeared, among the spectators in the stands, Moe Haha specially adjusted the volume of the arithmetic orb and released the song "Valkyrie's Ride" with other players as the BGM for the final battle.
The effect is quite good, the war has not yet started, and the atmosphere at the scene is already hot.
Murphy sat in Pawa's chair and watched the menacing warriors below, these forty little players had become the deadliest knife in his hands, but he had to test how sharp the knife was before slashing at others.
Not to mention, the chair they contributed to themselves is still quite comfortable to sit on, no wonder the "God of War in the Big Sick Area" has to carry this thing every time he appears.
"Mannis, are you ready?"
The moment he stood up, Murphy, who was holding a "replica Enma Knife" in both hands, asked softly, and the cunning Endless One responded with a strange smile.
Obviously, the bastard snake who has been extremely bored in the astral realm to avoid the "enemy hunting" can't wait to open his eyes to the strangers on his own territory, and after signing the astral guardianship contract with Murphy, Endless Mannes has understood the special identity of these aliens.
It's not just Murphy who is curious about them, but the Endless also wants to see the essence of the otherworldly soul.
"Good."
Murphy's wings spread, and he whispered:
"You'll be scared of my babies for a while, and I'm not done with you."
