596. Little Tris, who loves to pick up things, needs to reflect well
"So you got me a prisoner to watch? That old flywheel doesn't look easy to mess with, and it will take some thought for me to catch him, but if I can indeed trap the psionic master of the Ring Tower, it's worth the job!
But what's going on on Miriam's side?
Did you really give her a vial of source blood?
Why are you so spending! We don't have much source blood in our hands, and we still have to transform those three thousand people, this wave will basically be gone, and the rest will have to wait until May next year to start the Holy Blood Parade!
Moreover, in the case of the Black Plague, Lord Pa Ying may not really be able to find time to organize that ancient ritual in May next year, and if it is postponed, it will be even more difficult to rebuild the blood vulture. ”
With the beating of the Crimson Teleportation Technique, in the midst of Tracey's chatter, she and Murphy appeared in full armor outside the dead silence of Sico City, and Tracy was obviously very dissatisfied with Murphy's "big-hearted" behavior.
I can't wait to pull his ear and scold a few words.
Of course, Tracey also thinks that Miriam is her own person, and she doesn't really think that it is a waste of source blood to give Miriam, but the problem is that Murphy is a little too generous to his own people.
She whispered:
"A vial of diluted source blood is enough for Miriam to make thirty vampires, and if she chooses to drink it herself, she may be able to create a super-talented vampire lady.
Tell me honestly, did you plan to do this a long time ago?
Despite paying lip service to respecting Miriam's personal choice, as her prestige in Transencia grows, there's no way you're really going to let Miriam die as a human, right? ”
"Why are you so dark?"
Murphy immediately denied it:
"How can I be the kind of villain who doesn't respect the wishes of others? On the day of Miriam's death, I would attend her funeral and give a eulogy myself. But you see, the prestige of the Crimson Archon is so high that there is no guarantee that no 'radical' defender of Transencia will forcibly send her to the midnight Sanctuary of Shizumi against her wishes.
Miriam is a smart girl, and she knows this, so taking the initiative to ask for the source blood this time means that she has finally convinced herself in a long time.
It's a good thing to avoid everyone's embarrassment, really?
The two of us are talking patronizingly, what about Nephitali?
Didn't she come along? ”
"Ugh"
Tracey glanced back at the still flickering portal and whispered:
"That guy won't get lost in the astral plane, will he? The Mother of Midnight is above, what a bad luck this is, it seems that the poor mummy mother is not only bad in her brain, but also in bad luck. ”
"Well, I knew it."
Murphy sighed, put his hand on the Ouroboros sign in his heart, and said with a wooden face:
"Your Excellency the Endless, help."
"Come on!"
Mannis's strange voice rang in Murphy's ears, and at the same time, the dancing mummy was thrown back into the physical world with a scream of ahhh
The hapless creature slammed headlong into the rocks on the ground, making her overwhelmed spine rattle.
If it were a normal person, it would have died a long time ago, but for Nefitari, it was a small matter.
The mummy mother got up while scolding, and at the same time covered her head with her hands and turned her skull back to the correct position with a click, her peculiar dress made her face wrapped in cloth still form a vague angry expression that could be recognized, and she waved her hand wrapped in cloth and screamed at Tracey:
"You didn't mean it! You said! Do you still hold a grudge against us Moon Cultists because of the fact that the chief priest of Bayek personally hunted you down?
You badass witch!
Dare to sneak into the Great Eternal Library and steal our sacred knowledge, and you are the one who made the mistake first! ”
"How could this be done on purpose? You mummy doesn't make sense to speak! ”
Triss crossed her arms and said sarcastically:
"Obviously you're unlucky, right? You see, teleporting three people at a time, and as a result, both of us are fine, and you fall into the astral plane, which must have nothing to do with my teleportation skills. Also, I want to emphasize one point!
I don't hate the Bayek chief priest at all.
I know that if it weren't for the mercy of his old man, I would not have been able to escape from the place of origin alive, and I have nothing but gratitude in my heart for your mentor.
Believe it or not. ”
"Alright, Nephitali, you're cursed, there's no doubt about that."
Murphy reached out to suppress the irascible and a little neurotic, but unexpectedly popular among the players, and the mummy mother who was also a bit topical, said:
"You touched the Blooddread Relic and tried to cut it off from its user, and I guess you had bad luck the day you were going to be a thief, and the Night Luck cursed you, and the source of your subsequent misfortune was here.
If you don't want to be unlucky, I suggest you go to Pablo and apologize to the miracle creature for forgiveness.
It's a weapon made by the Creator!
It's easy to curse an undead doom, and you're a Songhai who claims to be the son of creation, and you know that better than anyone else. ”
"But that thing was supposed to be sent to the land of the Creator!"
Although the stubborn mummy mother no longer has water in her brain, she has obviously not returned to her normal posture, and she stubbornly said:
"Searching for and bringing back the legacy of the Creator is the innate mission of every Songhai person, and we believe that by bringing back those lost in the world to the Holy Land, the Creator can begin his great transformation of the world anew!
It would be a perfect time for all to live happily ever after, where life and death would be balanced, and light and darkness would play their part.
Yes!
The reason why this world is in chaos is because the great blueprint of the Creator has been interfered with by the evil gods of subspace!
Our ancestors of Songhai people witnessed the day when heaven collapsed!
You cannot be so selfish as to use the legacy of the Creator for human killing, which is just a terrible depravity and blasphemy. ”
"I believe in your legends, I think your legends are more true than the legends of other worlds circulating on the continent, and I will definitely go to the place of origin if I have the chance."
Murphy pressed the restless Nephitali, and he said seriously:
"But the blueprint of the Creator is destroyed, it can no longer be restarted, Eden has fallen, you are no longer willing to accept this fact, and you should be sober up after a thousand years.
Nephi Tali!
Remembering your mission, the Priest of Bayek asked you to come to Transcia to help the continent survive the crisis, and the search for miracle creations can be discussed later.
Sober? ”
The vampire governor used his power of desire to tug at the heartstrings in Nephitali's chaotic mind, and it was abnormal and unhealthy for an undead to release such violent emotions.
Nephitali, who had quieted down, shook her head vigorously, then covered her face and said:
"I must I go back to the Moon Holy City as soon as possible to calibrate my undead minds, I'm sorry, you two, to make you laugh. I'm getting worse and worse now, and I feel like I'm going to get out of control soon. ”
"Then get rid of the trouble in Sico City before you get out of control."
Tracey reminded beside her:
"The local host already knew we were coming, and lo and behold, the dead city was 'lively'."
Murphy and Nephitali looked back, and sure enough, in the hallway deep in the city of Sico, which had been shattered by heavy artillery, a group of undead with missing arms and legs had emerged from their hiding places.
Blue-green spiritual fire burned in their eyes, revealing an unsettling ominousness.
"Don't move your weapons!"
Murphy tried to draw his sword but was stopped by Nephitali, and the mummy mother who regained her mind quickly changed from a crazy posture to a very organized and majestic priest of death.
She motioned for Tracey and Murphy to step back, then took off a bag around her waist and spilled the materials inside, wrapping around her like ashes in the wind, and a black Hades summoning ritual emerged at the mummy mother's feet as the strange low tone swirled as Nephitali danced like a strange dance.
"The real Hades War Dance is so authentic, I haven't seen it for many years."
Tracy watched Nephitali's strange but somewhat beautiful and majestic posture shift, and she whispered to Murphy:
"This is the secret of the Moon Holy City, there are many people who have seen it, but there are only a handful of people who have seen it and survived. The Moon Priests only use this technique when summoned from above, and legend has it that it was a dance performed by the first Moon Priests when they gave thanks to the gods of Hades after gaining knowledge in Hades.
These movements themselves carry a strong underworld majesty.
Unfortunately, only the walkers of the Moon of Death can master such a dance perfectly. ”
"Well, a very passionate and powerful dance, full of a fusion of feminine femininity and the will to die."
Murphy whispered:
"Didn't you learn it secretly in other people's holy places? Can you jump? ”
"Yes, the war dance itself is not difficult to learn, but I just said that it is only the Moon of Death and so on! What do you want? ”
Tracey suddenly realized the strange idea in Murphy's words, she frowned and pinched Murphy's waist, this little guy really disrespected himself more and more.
"Whew!"
With a low roar, the large, hideous Three-Headed Dog of Hades was summoned to the material world by Nephitali.
The moment this legendary creature appeared, Murphy and Tracy felt the erosion of a strong aura of the underworld at the same time, and a substantial aura of death seemed to be formed around the giant beast, representing the majesty of power like an aura of fear.
Although it is said to be a three-headed dog, this guy is actually closer to the structure of a tiger or a lion.
It was covered with black scales, four thick legs and sharp claws clasped the ground, and it had a slender inverted triangular tail like a devil, and from the neck extended three necks that were not too short, and the three large heads were separated like snakes and were still biting each other.
It's like playing.
But the three-headed dog's paws, neck, and teeth were covered in a ring of blue spiritual fire, and every breath of its six nostrils spewed out a scorching breath like the black smoke of a volcano.
But as cool as this thing came on, it couldn't hide from Trace's eyes, and she whispered:
"It's a puppy, no wonder it can be summoned so easily by Nephitali, probably because of the legacy of the chief priest of Bayek, I remember that the old priest had a real three-headed companion as the guardian of Hades.
When I ran away in the yellow sand, I was almost killed by the three-headed dog.
It's a lot tougher than Ninki Nanka, they can lock souls directly, and they're kind of aggressive and destructive to the middle of the legendary creatures.
The worst thing is that all of this thing's attacks come with soul injuries, and once it is weakened, it is easy to leave the body and be sent to the path of the dead, in the words of players, this thing comes with the 'instant death' attribute.
However, except for the place of origin, you will hardly encounter this thing anywhere else in the mainland.
They are the higher symbols of Hades' will.
It is said that the three-headed dogs are responsible for punishing those sinners on both sides of the path of the dead, and they do not harm the good and the hero, but all sinners will have their left leg bitten off and can only crawl painfully on the path of the dead to the gates of Hades. ”
"Yo, Sanchez, be quiet! Don't let me be embarrassed in front of my new friends. ”
Nefitali waved her hand at her summoning companion, and the mighty three-headed dog let out a cough-and-cough laugh, as if mocking the mummy's embarrassed gesture, but it lowered its left head and let Nefitali climb into its head.
The other two heads were staring at Murphy and Tracy.
The eyes that looked at Murphy were full of doubt, probably unsure whether Murphy was a good guy or a bad guy, but the head that looked at Tracey let out a low growl without hesitation, and was still grinning incessantly.
Apparently in the eyes of Sanchez, the three-headed dog, Tracey is a soul full of sin that must have her left leg bitten off.
"Look! I've said it all, I used to be a horrible badass. ”
Tracey was not afraid of the puppy, and as she took off, she said to Murphy:
"So you'd better not get so close to me, lest one day I have a twist and make you sad."
"However, who doesn't know that the beautiful, charming and reformed female villain is the most charming."
Murphy also flapped his wings and flew up.
He didn't care about Tracy's self-deprecation, but waited for Nefitali to use a secret method to dispel the undead in the city, but the mummy mother didn't have a secret method.
Her secret method is her mighty big dog!
"Run! Run! Sanchez. ”
At the call of Nefitari's return to her upside-down state, the black three-headed dog roared and spewed black smoke, and its four hooves rushed forward towards Siko City.
As the beast of judgment in Hades, the three-headed dog has a strong suppression and dispersal power for all the lower undead, it doesn't even need to take the initiative to attack, just running in the area full of undead in Sike City is enough to make those awakened undead hide back in their lair in fear.
It was as if in front of the three-headed dog, the fear of the undead was brought back, and it was more vivid and terrifying than before.
"Look, that's what the Priests of the Dead Moon do."
Tracey and Murphy flew behind the three-headed dog, and in the midst of the mummy's mother's "really heartless" laughter, Tracey said to Murphy:
"The orthodox heritage from Hades makes them almost invincible against undead creatures, and any fool who tries to attack them in this realm will only end up being consumed by death.
Nephitali is just a mummy priest, and if she can become a mummy lord, then she doesn't need the three-headed dog to be here, she can stand up to most of the undead in the city and restrain them alone.
And if the chief priest of Bayek was here, perhaps all it would be would be a spell to take back control of Sico City in an instant.
Unfortunately, as the absolute representative of Hades in the material world, the chief priest of Bayek could not leave the place of origin, and neither could the chief priest of the glorious sun of his position.
It is said that this is a tradition formed by the Songhai people after signing a covenant of faith with the Moon of Death and the Brilliant Sun under the guidance of the Creator. ”
Murphy was silent and did not answer.
Nearly ten minutes later, as the three-headed dog approached the withered and brutal Cico Castle, Murphy whispered:
"So, source. How much did Luna learn when she first followed you in Moon Sanctuary? ”
Tracey bit her lip.
Murphy finally stopped pretending.
This guy really knows everything, and he can't even hide his relationship with Luna, but it also represents a certain attitude of Murphy, and Tracey knows that she can't hide it anymore.
After a moment of hesitation, she whispered:
"I also thought that the child had not learned, that she was not a person who could afford to learn, and I can be sure that when I took her out there, she was only just beginning to learn about death. As for why the 'source' has mastered so many forbidden techniques.
I guess it was after I was killed by Salokdal that she faked her death and went back to the Land of Origin.
I've been down for more than a hundred years.
With Luna's qualifications, that's enough time for her to become a master of death knowledge.
The problem is that the path we slipped into the Moon Holy City must have been blocked by the Priest of Bayek, and I don't know how Luna got in or disguised herself.
Maybe she's found a new path."
"Be bold!"
Murphy stared at Nephitali and the three-headed dog, and he said:
"There is a traitor in the Moon Holy City!
And powerful enough to shelter Luna from studying the forbidden arts, and even more terrifying, some of the Dead Moon Cult have become members of Twilight, just as Twilight creeps through the shadows of the Tower of the Ring.
This is also the reason why as soon as Lord Pa Ying opened his mouth, the chief priest of Bayek immediately sent his proud disciples across the sea.
He also guessed this truth.
Now that the dusk has pushed the formation of the Black Plague, the continent is about to be in chaos, and the Origin Land and the Songhai Empire, which are isolated overseas, will not be calm for too long.
Tris, I know Luna's last name.
I know she's a member of the Elven King's clan, but who is she? How did you become your heir? ”
"Her origins are complicated, and I didn't know her true origins until Luna was killed by Salokdal in front of me to protect me."
Tracey whispered in a pained tone:
"She does have the same last name as the Elven King, but she's not really a member of the royal family, in fact Luna is half-elf, and she's half-human.
But she couldn't tell who her mother or father was, and she didn't know where her elven blood came from. Luna is very much like Adele, she is very resistant to her elven bloodline, and at least when she comes with me, she never actively explores her origins.
Remember when I said that I went to the Elven Court to try to get their Elven Grail? ”
"Of course, I remember every cute experience you have with deflated."
Murphy whispered:
"So, it wasn't because you were hunted across most continents by the Moon Elf Priest, the Grand Druid, and the Ranger General that time because you were spying on other people's holy relics?"
"Well, I stole the Holy Grail, I was very good back then!"
Tracey emphasized stiffly:
"But when I left, something was wrong, and in some secret place in the court of the elves, I saw Luna, who was imprisoned there, the poor child was very thin, she was dying and the elves didn't care about her.
I.
You know I'm occasionally outraged with kindness, so."
"So you picked her up as you did me."
Murphy sighed and said:
"Trace, it's time for you to review your habit of picking things around."
