(For Brother Raven_13 [3/5])

"These little players can! I discovered the mystery of the silver level without a teacher, and I thought about whether I should send an official guidance post to remind them. ”

In the Valley of Shadows, Murphy had just watched the People's Army's night training, and while he was deeply satisfied, he inadvertently peeked into the secret of silver found by the orchid flower through the daily monitoring of the Orb.

The Vampire Governor lamented the acuity of the usually low-key Grand Traveler, because he had planned to open the Silver Trial experience in the "next version", but he didn't expect that Orchid Flower had reached the critical condition for triggering the Silver Trial on her own.

Murphy had only triggered his Silver Trial a few days ago, but he already knew a lot about it.

Different from the Black Iron Trial, which simply releases the strength and potential of the body, the challenge of the Silver Tier is more about the potential release of the combat style and bloodline power, in the current power system of the continent, both Silver and Black Iron belong to the middle and lower reaches of the power system, and they are more for the ultimate Golden Trial to create a perfect body where all potential is released and strengthened.

In Trace's words, the point of black iron and silver is to look inward for strength, and to reach the gold rank should be to seek outward supplementation, this system designed by the elves is very subtle, and it almost perfectly summarizes the growth history of a strong man.

But Murphy knew that the secret of silver discovered by Orchid Flower was incomplete and even very flawed.

Although it is true that the Great Traveler discovered the power of the first Ancestor by constantly practicing the racial skills of the Nords, it can be seen from Murphy's situation at this time that the power of the ancestors is not only obtained through racial skills, there are many other ways.

For example, the Blood Alliance clan has secret training that can awaken the power of specific ancestors, and the newly recruited pirate captains also say that the materials they obtain from hunting certain rare sea beasts in the Misty Sea can also be used to awaken special ancestral powers.

And most importantly, there is never a limit to the number of ancestral powers.

In fact, after Murphy triggered the Silver Trial, he communicated with Tracy and the Knight of Paliano remotely, and the common advice given to him by the two was not to rush to complete the trial first, and strive to get the third Ancestral Power.

This is important.

Once the Silver Trial is completed, it means that the body and bloodline evolve at the same time, which is the improvement and solidification of the life form, in other words, once you enter the Silver Level, it will be even more difficult to activate the power of more ancestors, since it is to lay the foundation, it is necessary to make this foundation as solid as possible.

And the power of the ancestors is also of quality.

For example, one of the five ancestral powers activated by the Silver Trial is called "Eternal", which is very domineering but actually strengthens the vampire's immortal attributes, so that Triss is in a state of "never getting old", even when eternal silence comes, Trisi can walk into death with the most beautiful and sultry attitude.

This ancestral power is almost useless except for preserving her appearance and strengthening her survival attributes, but not only does it allow Tracey to survive instead of dying after being gouged out of her Blood Heart, but it is also directly related to the "Transcendent Law of Time" that Tracey obtained in the Golden Trial.

It was this transcendent law that made Tris a genius of the Bloodline who was praised even by Lord Pa Ying.

Tracey's story is the best reference for Murphy, he now has the power of the two ancestors, the Night Claw and the Crimson Mystic, and Mannes the Endless says that the power it gives can also be combined into an ancestral power, so Murphy plans to discover at least one more in the next Black Plague battle, and then complete the Silver Trial.

According to Paliano, one of the important reasons why the Blood Alliance Knights are so powerful and overwhelm the continent is that Lord Pa Ying requires all members who open the Silver Trial to master at least three ancestral powers.

It is this demanding requirement that creates the power of the Blood Alliance.

Extending from this point, the player's potential progress bar is actually a trap, 70% of the potential release can certainly make a player become an ordinary silver level after a certain amount of pressure, but if the potential release bar can be stretched to 100% and get more ancestral power through the extension of racial skills, then the player's promotion process will be stretched to the limit and achieve elite silver at the same time!

Although they don't have the word "elite template", the combat power is not a deception.

The Black Iron Trial determines the lower limit, and the Silver Trial determines the upper limit, so Murphy is a little hesitant at this time, whether to remind his treasures on the forum as a member of the development team.

However, after careful consideration, he decided not to move.

Playing games, happiness is the most important thing, and there is no need to force all players to become powerful and strong.

Besides, isn't ordinary silver silver?

Although Murphy's rank at this time can easily hack five ordinary silver to death at a time, the rank is a hard condition, and a few hundred parallel silver are still enough to bluff people.

"Mark, come here, I have something to ask you."

Murphy made up his mind, and soon saw Maxim walking by with a stack of papers, and called his loyal servant, and he asked directly:

"How many ancestral powers do you have now?"

"Well, three of a kind, master."

Mark couldn't always be by Murphy's side after being transferred to the commander of the army, and the progress of his strength was not something that had to be reported, so after hearing that Maxim had awakened the power of the three ancestors, Murphy was shocked.

Depend on!

You Maxim!

There are two talents in this university, why are there only three? Is this intended to create opposition?

But Murphy immediately concealed the surprise in his heart, and with a concern that he might be surpassed by the good brothers who had just blown up the fishpond together, he asked:

"Let's communicate, what is the power of your ancestors?"

"Well, Leania told me that you can't tell anyone else about this kind of thing, lest you get caught in your weakness, and she said that she had seen a silver warrior who had been targeted and died miserably. But you are the master, and I will not hide anything from you. ”

Maxim replied frankly:

"The first ancestral power is, of course, the Claws of the Night that you have given me, which I have honed to a level that is perfectly suited to me, and in order to do so, I have fought with few weapons and more with claws in all the battles since leaving you.

The second Ancestral Power came from the teachings of Reinia, who taught me to use the hunting senses of a vampire to lock on to my enemies in the manner of a hunter.

This lock-in has become a combat instinct after a long period of practice, and I call it 'Crimson Eye', and even if the enemy I lock on to escape from my field of vision, I can sense his position and hunt for a long time in the dark.

The third ancestral power is the teachings of Master Kuder.

Although the tribune hated the power of vampires, he was a true fighting genius, and he had forged a new ancestral power from his original strength even though his silver body had solidified.

He taught it to me without reservation, and it was a deadly technique called 'Blood Slash', which stemmed from the vampire's sensitivity to blood, and when fighting an enemy, as long as he had a premonition of the enemy's weakness, he could rely on this weakness to mobilize the blood power to complete a second kill during a melee attack.

This stuff is really easy to use, and it fits my fighting style very well.

A crisp slash always makes people feel good, and when the blood slash is complete, I can draw blood essence from the enemy to replenish my consumption.

Also, I fought several times with the Dwarven Battle Master who was looking for the Black Flame Pass at the suggestion of Lord Heather, and I could feel my destructive power drop when my rage spiraled out of control, and the Dwarven Battle Master reminded me of this and taught me the techniques of controlling my anger.

Therefore, I feel that I may be able to use this reminder to find the power of a new ancestor in battle."

"Excellent! Mark, you're the one who can surprise me! ”

Murphy patted Maxim on the shoulder and said:

"The condensation of the power of the Four Ancestors is enough for you to become a true 'Golden Reserve' when you advance to the Silver Rank, but I think you can actually do better. Therefore, I'm going to teach you the Crimson Secret that I've learned, and I'm going to give you a special piece of advice.

Maybe you can start practising your spear throwing skills now.

I mean, the new power of the Piercing skill combined with the vampire's talent can effectively complement your lack of ranged attacks, and your last name is 'Vlad' after all, isn't it?

It would be a shame if it wasn't made into an easter egg. ”

"You mean, you hope that I will complete the Silver Trial after gathering the power of the six ancestors?"

Maxim frowned.

He whispered:

"Master Kudell has reminded me that the power of the Ancestors is not simply as much as possible, and that in the Silver Trial I need to gather all the power of the Ancestors to form my true source of strength.

In this case, the more power of the ancestors, the more difficult it is to fuse. Even a blood genius like Lady Triss only has five realms, I'm afraid I"

Maxim was visibly lacking in confidence, but Murphy followed the rules and said:

"Tracey is already a legend of a bygone era, and the best way for us to pay tribute to the legend is to surpass them. As you know, Tris doesn't really want to be a Grand Duke, and her years of downfall have made her very resistant to things like power that can be dangerous.

She was pushed up by us.

There's no need to expect Tracy to make a name for herself in the Vulture Clan, and the revival of the clan will fall to us young people.

I mean, you can try to challenge yourself, there will be no shortage of strong enemies in the Black Plague for you, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and every Black Disaster is a stage for the brave.

I'm sure you'll be the backbone of the Vulture Clan and Translancia in the future, Mark, I'm optimistic about you!

Come on! ”

After throwing out a meal of Dark Night Poison Chicken Soup, Murphy wrote down the experience of the Crimson Secret technique and handed it to Maxim, and then walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Maxim, who was indecidable, to think about the feasibility of this matter.

He could sense that Master Murphy's suggestion seemed to want him to postpone the Silver Trial, and he didn't know why Murphy did it, but it was indisputable that Master Murphy must have had his own ideas.

Murphy's master is ten times wiser than himself, so it's better to obey his advice.

"The master wants you to be a banner for the new generation of blood vultures led by him, Mark."

Adele's hoarse voice quietly sounded from the darkness, and the blood vulture intelligence officer advised:

"Now that the clan is in ruins, there are very few people available to the master, and as one of his most trusted people, you have to shoulder the expectations of this kind of superior."

"Huh"

A slender self-defense blade was pulled out by Maxim, and it hit Adele's slender neck like a flying cicada's wings.

It was not a simple deterrent, but with a real killing intent, and the cold aura made Adele immediately stop in place.

She knew why Maxim was so angry.

"Traitor!"

Mark turned.

He looked at Adele with a dead man's gaze, and as Murphy's heir, he could clearly feel that the woman in front of him had severed the blood contract with Murphy's master on her own.

He scolded:

"Remember when I warned you? Adele, if you dare to betray, I will definitely make you pay! How dare you swagger in front of me. The master trusts you so much, that's how you repay him?

You were the first Murphy descendant, and that was a glory that made me jealous, but you threw it away with your own hands.

Is so-called freedom really that good? You pathetic white-eyed wolf. ”

"Mark. I can't explain it all to you. ”

Adele whispered:

"As a man, you can't understand my difficulties."

"Incomprehensible? Isn't it just dedication? ”

Maxim sneered:

"Leonia described to me the awkward situation, which was still very painful for her when her eldest was a lady, but Adele. You should have a partner, didn't you? Isn't our Murphy master good enough and not outstanding enough?

What about following your dedication?

That's also a way for you to be allegiance! Lady Tracey knows this, so she doesn't stand in the way, so don't make excuses for your betrayal!

If it weren't for your usefulness, I'd have killed you with my own hands when you drank that damn source of blood, and you'd be glad that Leenia stopped me that night from being so angry that I almost lost control. ”

"Well, you've mentioned Leania many times, so let me give you an example using her."

Adele didn't care about the sharp blade against her neck, she said:

"If you have the opportunity to get a vial of Blood Alliance Source Blood from Lord Pa Ying for Leonia now"

"I will give everything for this, except for my loyalty."

Maxim replied, and Adele shrugged her shoulders and said:

"Look, this is the power of love, you also know that you have to let your lover be truly free before you can be with her for eternity, you know the truth in your brain, do you think I don't know? Mark, I'm not a betrayal.

I just wanted to be closer to the hosts!

I can only get away from him first, I don't just want him to enter my body, I also want to enter his mind.

Love, you know what I mean? ”

"Huh?"

Adele's words made Maxim frown, and his anger quietly dissipated at this moment, and he seemed to really understand the reason and reason for Adele's action.

I have to say that the appearance of this guy Leenia is really a stroke of genius, and she has made the loyal blood vulture monster understand another beautiful feeling.

"Well, if that's the reason, then I'll let you go."

Maxim retracted his blade and said:

"I will even bless you, because I know the affection of Master Murphy towards Lady Tracey, and I know how hard it is, poor Adele, you are like Sisyphus, challenging the impossible."

"So I need you to help me, Mark."

Adele stated the purpose of the trip, saying:

"Can you understand the relationship between King Louis and his queen and his lover?"

"Of course, Professor Malcolm often uses this example to explain the relationship between power and personal emotions in the treatment of superiors, and although I am reckless, so many after-class reports are enough for me to . Ah, I see. ”

The general of Translancia narrowed his eyes again, and he said:

"No wonder you're so proactive in the affairs of the Shadow Valley, not even as low-key as you used to be, but this kind of thing is not bad for the master, so how are you going to let me help you?"

"Half-elves in the valley"

Adele approached Maxim and whispered:

"They will assist you in defending the valley, but they are simply not enough to guard the Shadow Valley, turning them all into vampires if necessary! I'll take care of the rest.

Do it cleanly and don't get caught.

I will also give you kindness, such as brushing up on Lady Leenia's military exploits to increase her importance in the heart of Lord Pa Ying.

But you should know how difficult it is to get the source blood from Lord Pa Ying, you have to be prepared, and my advice to you is to find a way to join the god-killing operation and make a great achievement that cannot be ignored. ”

"But I'm going to command the army!"

Maxim hesitated, and Adele shook her head and said:

"Once the battle is on the Maginot Line, the Grand Prize will be changed to Master Kudell, and you'll be free to move around at that point. What's more, Mistress Kudell is swaying! You can also feel that he chose to stay with the Vulture Clan more out of gratitude than loyalty.

That's not going to work! This is a hidden danger.

As the second most likely goldenr of the Vulture Clan, he must choose his side in this battle.

You have to put enough pressure on him.

Mark, you can't do everything for him, you can't let someone like Kuder hide behind you and resist the fate that has befallen him for more than a hundred years. ”

"I need time to think about it."

Maxim didn't give an answer, but Adele nodded, she didn't say anything more, just said goodbye to Maxim, and then swayed and disappeared into the night.

The monster picked up the document in his hand again, glanced at the direction in which Adele had disappeared, and he shook his head and said:

"Love, moths to the fire."

"Mark! Come over to me, a few scattered gnolls roaming the Barren Mountains have gathered, and they are marching towards the rear of the Black Flame Pass! ”

Lady Leenia's voice rang out in the Treasure Jewel of Distant Calculations, and she called out in a stern tone:

"There are not enough people under my command to stop it, come and support!"

"Soon, my lady."

Maxim wanted to bring some soldiers with him, but the matter was urgent, so he simply called for several of his heirs and some vampires to quickly help in the night.

What Reynia discovered was just a peripheral change in an emergency, and Murphy, who was wandering around the valley to take a peek at what the little players were doing, also got accurate information.

A vanguard of gnolls had approached the Black Flame Pass, most likely a tentative attack, and Lord Heather had sent an army of servants to meet it.

And Murphy suddenly became interested.

With the Core Orb in hand, he sent a mission to the players currently staying in the Dark Valley, asking them to immediately assemble and prepare to use teleportation tactics to enter the battlefield of the Black Flame Pass. Not only to increase Transasia's reputation, but Murphy also wanted to take this opportunity to show players what the real "Black Plague" was like.

By the way, his dog planner also wants to compare the reaction of the foreigners under his current command in the face of the black plague with the combat effectiveness of the two sides through actual combat data.

This is a very important statistic, and if the players are still a little less combative, then Murphy will have to find a way to "balance the class" when the "new version" opens.

Well, that's what he's doing as a dog planner.
