564. That's my dear teacher! Gotta add... Uh, no extra money! - [Update: 6/30]
(Add more for the "Huo Cheng is good" brother 6/20)
In Lady Oksana's ancient dreams, Shani saw another truth about the day of destruction in Eden, from her perspective.
She also mentions a legion of "Sentinels", which reminds Murphy of the image of the Woods Grail that the Knight of Valand had given him.
Murphy was thinking for a moment, are the so-called "sentinels" referring to those astral gods?
But if you think about it, it seems that in all the information about the Eden Region at present, there is not a single word of the astral gods, and I see in the image of the forest grail that the area where the gods are located has been infected by the power of subspace.
Based on the details of Salokdal and Oksana's memories, it is highly likely that the destruction that took place in the Eden District was the first outbreak of subspace power in the physical world.
Until then, the entire world is in the perfect blueprint of the Creator in advance.
In other words, the Astral Spirits only appeared after the destruction of Eden?
This.
Murphy thought of this possibility, and his heart suddenly moved, he glanced at Tracey, who was still comforting the lost Xia Ni, and quietly took a few steps back and reached out to touch his heart.
The strange and muddy voice of Mannis the Endless sounded in Murphy's heart for the next moment:
"Well, my handsome and powerful human body, where are you? Why is the psychic connection fast and clear this time? I couldn't even feel the slightest psionic noise. ”
"I am in the Land of Creation, as we are in a contract, and I am trying to find a way for the Great Endless to the heart of the world."
Murphy patted the ass slightly, then changed the subject and asked:
"You said before that you got the truth about their godhood from the daughter of the Astral Dragon? There's a question about the gods. Don't worry, I'm not going to rob you of the secrets that belong only to you, Mannis, I just want to know, when was the first god born? ”
"Wow, isn't this just digging into the secret of my heart?"
The Endless hissed unpleasantly, like a dangerous rattlesnake, but it thought for a moment but did not hide the answer, saying:
"Time is very different to what I see as you do, it seems to me as if it happened yesterday, but on your scale, the exact time should be 971 years ago."
"Sure enough!"
Murphy's eyes narrowed, and he said:
"After the end of the Golden Age, did it usher in the Age of the Gods? No wonder the Creator calls them 'cute little creatures', and I always thought it was the Creator's preach of self-power, but I didn't expect them to be telling the truth.
So, that 'Era Contract' was also shaped at that time, right? ”
"Well, the chosen spirits drink the wine of godhood, melt the oath into the cup, and then throw those chalice on the world, which represents the establishment of the contract and the fulfillment of the oath."
Mannis summed up the situation in a rather literary way, but Murphy had no interest in the scene, and he grasped the point of the question, asking:
"So, it should have been the 40th year of the era, and at that time, the Eden refugees had just entered the continent and were still in a state of groping and growing, so who signed the epoch contract with the spirits on behalf of this world?
It can't really be Songhai people, right? ”
"Well, you're a little more knowledgeable than I am."
The Endless One was also a little confused by this damn question, and it thought for a moment, and said:
"I really haven't thought about this detail before, Murphy, you little clever ghost, the Eden District used to be a symbol of the majesty of the Creator, but after its destruction, there is still an organization that can represent the Creator, and even give the wine of the gods, wow the truths hidden in the past history are suddenly wonderful.
But I know, Murphy, you're not an idiot who just asks questions, so what is the answer in your mind? ”
"I think it's supposed to be 'Sentinel.'"
Murphy replied, then explained:
"Don't ask me what it is, I don't know, I just learned the truth about the Eden disaster from a compatriot, and learned that in the subspace disaster 1111 years ago, there were sentinels who appeared to stop the subspace invasion of the physical world, and that organization obviously has great power.
They may be the true loyalists of the Creator in this world, and the heart of the world can be hidden for more than a thousand years, maybe it is these guys who are secretly protecting it.
Anyway, Manneth, you always brag that time is a spread book in front of you, ready for you to flip through.
Can you go back in time to the destruction of Eden and help me see the Sentinel's true face? ”
Murphy's request silenced the Endless.
Like all the guys whose cowhide has been punctured, Murphy was deeply moved by the embarrassment of the Serpent of Time at this moment, and the vampire lord felt that he had said something stupid, and if he were Manneth, he would probably have to cut out the three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
Just when he was worried that Mannes would become angry and unilaterally break off the contract in a fit of anger, the Endless One sighed and said bitterly:
"Time is indeed a book spread out in front of my eyes, but spread out is one thing, whether I can understand it or not is another, after all, I am just a poor and helpless young snake, you can no longer ask me to be versatile.
There are certain areas in the flow of time that I can't go to, or even get close to.
Damn Ao also specifically warned me that it is certainly okay to pursue the level of ascending to the gods, but some taboos cannot be touched, and the price of playing careful in this matter is bound to be heavy.
I can't go to that point in time, Murphy.
Not only can I not go, but I have to stay away from it, including the time of the Golden Age is taboo for me, unless I can complete the ascension, in which case I am beyond my destiny, and I can even take you there with me.
But we can only watch, not intervene.
Because the past shapes the present, and we live in the present. ”
"Well, I see, I made a stupid request."
Murphy nodded, glanced at Xia Ni, who had recovered, and said:
"So, can I ask you where the Thorn Clan's lost relic, the 'Fallen Virtue', is hidden in the frozen sea? That's the point in time you can go, right?
It stands to reason that all the secrets in this world can't be hidden from you. ”
"Hmph, but you need money to ask for secrets from me, my dear Murphy, in your words, it's not that I'm greedy, it's the Ouroboros that rules."
Mannes said coldly:
"Although the cooperation between the two of us is quite pleasant at this point, you better not rely on my favor to make some excessive demands, for the sake of you helping me figure out some historical details today, I will send you a piece of information for free.
The pair of battle claws you want are long gone in the frozen sea!
327 years ago, Fallen Virtue was salvaged at the bottom of the ocean by a fisherman in Icebay, who traded it for a large sum of money, but also got himself into trouble, his clan was slaughtered by mysterious forces, and the Fallen Virtue finally fell into the hands of the Church of Avalon for 300 years.
They treat it as an evil creature and leave it in the care of the Grey Knight, and I'll tell you quietly that when your little cutie Triss followed Sallockdahl to the Holy Land of Grammour, there was a depraved virtue in a box she passed by.
That was probably the closest the Thorn Relic has come to a vampire since it was lost, and sadly, you've lost it forever.
The destruction of the church of Avalon caused the relics to be lost in the chaos, and then a strange force took it away, and those forces could interfere with time, and I could not tell where the fallen virtue was. ”
"Humph, cunning!"
Murphy scolded:
"You don't know its whereabouts, so you give me a favor with a story? Is this the good tradition of the Ouroboros? Why don't I ask another one? ”
"That's enough, Murphy! Don't play with children's tempers. ”
The Endless One struck an elder posture and scolded:
"If I've learned anything in this long life, it's that secrets come at a price, and there are no secrets in this world that can be easily obtained.
If you want to dig up more 'Time Treasures' from me, then you can show me a decent one, and lo and behold, I have seven green jade seals imposed by Ao on me, and for every one you help me unlock, I will give you an absolutely precious secret for free.
Deal? ”
"How do I solve it? It was a god's extermination. ”
Murphy said dissatisfiedly:
"I think you're embarrassing me."
"Hey, I told you before, finding the genesis energy, Murphy, it's easy and enjoyable for Alpha, and it's not even a difficult job."
Mannis Says:
"There are so many relics of creation on the continent that even if it's enough for you to find what I need in the Dark Mountains alone, you can dig up treasure with a snack.
I don't need much, a standard unit of genesis energy is enough to unlock a lock, and with each unlocking lock, the more power I can give back to you.
You see, it doesn't hurt for you to be strong when I'm strong, right?
Also, I would like to remind you that it is best to practice the three powers I gave you to perfection before the Silver Trial, and they can be gathered for you to form an additional 'Ancestral Power'.
Don't say I don't take care of you~
That's it, I'm running out of energy, so let's talk about it, I'll have to keep on hiding from that damn old tortoise Tritan.
That old guy really holds a grudge, didn't he just draw something on his turtle shell, hey, I don't understand the turtle's brain circuits. ”
After saying that, the connection of the Endless quietly dissipated in Murphy's heart, and at this time, the conversation between the two Grand Dukes also ended, and Xia Ni regained her former composure, but judging from the lost light in her eyes, it became clear that the blow of original sin to her was indeed terrible.
She needed a moment to calm down.
"I need to give you a bounty."
Murphy stepped forward, took out the diary he had obtained from the "Explorer", and said to Shani:
"From the Twilight Believers, I learned of a shameless framing of the Tower of the Ring, in order to appease the wrath of King Louis, the Twilight forces hidden in the Tower of the Ring secretly made a meme, and beat the Master of Shaping 'Dragon Flame' Lena Film Anitara into a rebel, her Shaping faction has been purged, and she herself escaped from the White Cliff and her whereabouts are unknown, claiming to commit suicide in fear of sin.
Not many people will be able to find a psionic master who wants to hide, but we need her now, and the enraged Master of Shape will definitely be the deadliest knife in our small group.
Shani, I need you to mobilize the intelligence network of the Thorn Clan, find Lady Lena as soon as possible, and arrange for her to come to Transcia to meet with me. ”
"Well, leave it to me."
Shani took the diary with her cloak on, and in the process she made contact with Murphy's fingers, and the two of them immediately separated like an electric shock, and the two looked at each other again, and then turned their heads in embarrassment.
Damn it!
The resonance of that ancient dream was so obscene, and the biggest problem was that it was so real, like Murphy really had something to do with Shanny.
Well, I can't go on.
"I need to calm down!"
Shani said to Tracey:
"Can I rest here for a few hours? I need to sort out my thoughts, what I'm seeing is too terrifying. ”
"Of course, my little Charney is pitiful."
Tracey rejoices that she has finally seen the most vulnerable side of Shanny, which means that she has the upper hand in the battle between the two Grand Dukes, and she skillfully demonstrates the generosity of being half the master of the land.
Murphy spoke at this point:
"I'm going to Wolfsburg, I'll be back as soon as possible, Trissy, you take care of Lady Shanie for me."
With that, Murphy strode out of the biology hall, a gesture that made Triss a little puzzled, and she said:
"Why does Murphy feel weird today, as if he's hiding something from me?"
"Maybe you're thinking too much."
Xia Ni moved her body a little uncomfortably, and said faintly:
"Is there a place to wash up? I need to take a shower and change my clothes. ”
"Of course, the bathing facilities here are great, and you can also massage it, come on, my sister Shani, and I'll teach you how to use these Creator's legacy.
Well, I have to say, our Creator would really enjoy it. ”
——
Wolf Castle, although Hogg has left, the new chief Nash who has been placed here has efficiently taken over the activities of the Bloodclaw Clan here.
Not all Gnoll Commanders are obedient to Nash taking over as Chief, but Nash feels that he has the means and means to resolve this "internal strife", perhaps as one of the challenges that Master Hogg has left for him to show his wisdom?
Anyway, Nash wasn't here when Murphy arrived at Wolfsburg, but he left a few of his dogheads behind to lead the kobolds to continue repairing the facilities in Wolfsburg.
First up is the Warlock Tower, which has been cleared out by the kobolds and is being built by a team of kobold architects belonging to the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, the first kobold "foreman" born among them.
The new owner of this tower, Master Heru, has ordered a new tower structure from the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, and perhaps in half a month, he will be able to live in the mage tower of his dreams.
Heru will perform his duties as a quartermaster in a makeshift room, collecting the player's needs and exchanging them for parts for the corresponding "T2-Clan King" set.
The players are very polite to him, and there are a few new ones running around to help Heru run errands to brush up on the NPC's favor.
When Murphy walked into the room, Heru was still busy, his work attitude was really good, and if Heru was dedicated to politics, sooner or later he would be able to mix with an administrative earl or even a higher level in the hot land of Translasia.
That's "getting ahead" in another sense.
But unfortunately, Murphy brought him bad news today, he signaled that Heru did not have to get up and salute, and reached out and handed him the message from the cultist's diary about Mentor Heru faking his death and joining the dusk to become a cultist.
Heru was a little confused at first, but after he read the transcribed paper, the whole person was not good.
"Nope! That's impossible! ”
Heru clutched his head and screamed:
"My mentor. That damn horny old man, how could he. No! This must be a slander from the cultists, my mentor is really sick and dead, so he didn't join the terrible cult organization!
Damn it!
How could he do that! ”
It can be seen that Heru has a really good relationship with his mentor, although he calls the other party "lustful old man", but Heru has also said before that a spellcaster like him, who has no identity, no background or even no talent, can get a title in the Tower of the Ring, all thanks to his mentor who is also very marginal in the Tower of the Ring system.
Even after his mentor "died of illness", Heru left the Tower of the Ring without hesitation, and it can be seen that this guy's feelings for the Tower of the Ring are all from the mentor's care, not how loyal he is to that organization.
But the truth of the matter is so hurtful.
Heru himself knew that if Lord Murphy could show him this thing, it meant that he must have the evidence, and Heru was worthy of being a Banko-born spellcaster, and he quickly calmed down after experiencing anger and pain.
He wiped his eyes and said to Murphy:
"I know what you want to ask but I haven't received any messages from my mentor during this time. I am loyal, my lord! ”
"Well, you are."
Murphy's ears moved, and the prying eyes of the power of desire swept away all the hidden corners of Heru's heart, and even heard the depraved joy of "playing" with a countess, a baroness, and a noble lady at the same time in the city of Batasin.
Heru seems to be honest, but in fact, he still maintains a certain frequency of correspondence with the three ladies in private, and even invites them to come to the swamp for a "winter trip" that does not conform to the aristocratic demeanor but will definitely be very exciting after his mage tower is built.
Tut-tut, Niu Niu should really learn from Heru, this is the natural sea king!
But Desire's ability didn't find out that Heru was lying, and he really didn't get the news from his mentor who had become a cultist, which reassured Murphy.
But then, Murphy pulled out a chair and sat down across from Heru, and he said:
"Your mentor's business needs to be resolved, Heru, if it's inconvenient or unwilling, the Shadow Intelligence Agency will send you his real obituary someday in the future, I hope you are ready."
"No, sir!"
Heru clenched his fists, and he whispered:
"I'm going to join in, I'm going to ask that crazy old man for myself why he did this! He had always wanted a mage tower of his own.
It can be broken, it can be old, it can even be smaller.
He's always wanted it!
But I've got the Mage Tower and why is he. I'm going to join the Shadow Intelligence Agency! My lord, I'm going to be involved in this.
If my guru really did something irreparable, I. I wish I could see him off with my own hands, and I can't fake this kind of thing!
He took care of me as a son and I had to. I'm responsible! ”
"It's dangerous, Heru."
Murphy looked at the angry and painful psionist in front of him, and he said bluntly:
"And you're a scout who doesn't fight well, and if you decide to participate, I won't stop you, but you have to bear the risk of death. That 'old friend' of your mentor is a pretty dangerous guy, and I can't say what kind of radical ideas that bastard will instill in your mentor, but I think you'd better not think things are going so well.
You know what I mean? ”
"Hmm."
Heru wiped his eyes and said firmly:
"Please don't tell my little aunt about this, she just found love, I can't let her take any more risks for me, she deserves a better life."
"It's better to worry about yourself, Niu Niu protects Anbo like a baby, and won't let her get hurt."
Murphy took out a vial of source blood from his pocket, handed it to Heru, and said:
"It's your 'employee insurance', and when you want to use it at some point, remember to do a good job of psychological construction in advance, I mean, write a suicide note or something.
I'll send your decision to Adele, and on the day you need to act, I hope you don't pull your crotch, and my advice is that although learning the various Scouting Psionic Abilities has consumed a lot of your energy, maybe you should consciously make yourself strong from now on.
If your mentor has already made up his mind to become a member of the Twilight, then I think it will be really difficult to pull him back from that wrong path by just relying on warm attacks and mouth escapes.
In addition, I found that the father-like character in my mind has a complex side, which must be the same as the sky falling for the child, but please mourn and change, Heru. ”
