626. The day the closed beta ended
Murphy successfully obtained a vial of blood from Nephi Tali that she had stored during her lifetime, although it had been decades since it was taken out, but because of the "freshness" of the psionic energy, it was enough for Murphy to obtain the complete "Songhai Creature Template".
Giving your blood to a vampire would be hard to do with any sane Songhai, but the problem was that Nefertali was an undead and didn't care much about everything in this world.
And she had water in her head.
was fooled by Murphy for a while, and happily agreed.
Perhaps it was also because Nefitali saw the bravery of the Gentiles, and she decided that these guys would definitely do a lot of things, and that her small clan would be able to gain great prestige from them, and that in terms of the survival mode of the Songhai people, as long as they had enough prestige, their parents would be able to recruit enough new clansmen from the desert travelers.
Even his own down-and-out family may be able to regain the title of Oasis Pharaoh because of this.
This is a small contribution that Nephitali has made to the family.
She rode her cool scarab beetle and buzzed with Murphy to fly outside Sico City, just in time to see Phimes appear in the scarlet with his pants off.
Ah Feng is still a little confused.
He had been perfecting his knowledge and schoolwork in the deceased's hut under the Vulture Corridor, but he was forcibly brought here by the eldest lady.
"Hey! Little mummy, have you thought about it? Do you want to join this witch's Red Devil Pavilion? ”
The eldest lady seems to be very familiar with Nefitali.
When she saw the mummy mother's scarab beetle fall to the ground, she asked in a loud voice, and received a rather arrogant response from the mummy priest:
"What kind of organization are you that invited me to join? Am I the pre-god of Hades? What am I and what are you? If you want me to join, I'll join? Wouldn't it seem like I was out of style if I just agreed? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you just say you can't come?"
Fiemis is not good-natured either.
She strode forward and stared at the mummy mother with the staff of the night whistle, and said:
"You want to stay in Transia for a long time, and you don't like to stay with the living, I invited you because you are lonely and pitiful, don't be ignorant!
What if you are the Chosen One of Death?
I still have an Avalon artifact in my body, and I don't even like to ignore the gods of nature calling me, so don't talk about the identity of the ghost in front of me. ”
"It's okay to join."
Nefitali's ruby eyeball, which she used as an ornament, moved, and she said in a long voice:
"But how can such a powerful mummy priest be subservient? It's okay for you to be the leader, but I'm going to be the deputy leader! And you'll have to help me build a Dead Moon Tower in Sico, or in your words, the Mage's Tower.
But we have a special French style over there, so we can't mess around.
I think your brotherhood of stonemasons is quite powerful, they built the Midnight Tower very majestic, once the ascension ceremony of Sike City is completed, after this place becomes the second holy place, I estimate that it will stay here for a long time.
So, I'm going to have one too! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll use my own private money to help you ask the old professor to draw drawings, and then find a team to help you build a house, okay?"
Femis said reluctantly:
"Then sign a contract with my 'Midnight Witch' now and officially join the Red Devil Pavilion!"
The eldest lady is also fighting hard to improve the style of the psionic organization she has established, and this is not the first time she has recruited powerful guys to join the Red Devil Pavilion.
She had also wooed Tris before, but was decisively rejected by the Psionic Master.
What is my identity, and what is your identity?
I'm a dignified Scarlet Witch who joins an unpopular psionic organization and spreads out, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed to death by psionists across the continent.
Besides, Triss is the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture, and the eldest lady is Count Under Armour, so you can't really let the Grand Duke be your subordinate, right?
This is a great sin in vampire society.
So the eldest lady ran to find Velencor again, and the Weaver Maiden was eager to break into the "high-end circle" of the Blood Vulture Clan, but she did not refuse.
But the family is a golden level, and the eldest lady can't command at all, which is basically equivalent to inviting a "Kanban Niang" role.
At present, if the Red Devil Pavilion wants to develop and grow, guys like Julia and Nefitali with background but average strength are the most suitable, so after the appearance of the mummy mother, the eldest lady has been chasing her and asking her to become her partner on the path of psionic energy.
However, although this Nephitali has a brain in water, she is indeed cunning, and she has deducted a mage tower from the eldest lady, but can you explain to me what you mean by "private money"?
Right now, the whole of Transencia is in ruins, and it is the time to use the money, Murphy is so anxious that he will go to the Wolf Lady as a dog to exchange food, how can you, as the number three person of the Blood Vulture Clan, still hide private money?
I'll go to the Scarlet Archon and report my personal property in a moment.
"Now, this is your apprentice."
Murphy patted the bewildered Ah Feng on the shoulder, turned back to Nephi Tali and said:
"He originally studied with Bella, but Bella's understanding of the knowledge of the undead could not carve such a jade, so he also hoped to find a powerful mentor for Ah Feng."
"Yo, a natural spirit!"
The mummy mother circled around Ah Feng a few times, and she said:
"When I met him before, I was very curious that you Transcia could give birth to such a deathly beloved, you know, even in the Land of Origin, there have only been a few innate beings like him in history.
The last one who appeared was now my mentor, Lord Bayek, High Priestess of the Dead Moon.
Very good!
Very talented!
This guy is qualified to join the Dead Moon Cult, and when we go back to the Land of Origin to report on our duties, he'll come back with me, and I'll introduce him to my mentor.
Maybe I'll be able to raise a foreign High Priestess of the Dead Moon myself, ah, it's exciting to think about. ”
"Of course there's no problem with that."
Murphy gave Ah Feng a look, and the latter nodded slightly.
The situation of the pants demon is very special, his current state is basically bound to the world of Transncia forever, it is a game for other players, but for Ah Feng, this thing is life.
He also has to plan his "career" well.
If you can hug the thighs of the Death Moon Sect, then you can basically walk sideways on the continent in this life.
"Then, Ah Feng, you should study hard with Lady Nefitali."
Murphy stuffed the Book of Dead in his hand into Ah Feng's hand and encouraged:
"Don't worry about the field hospital for the time being, your apprentices are also improving, if the battle on the front line is urgent, I will call you again."
Ah Feng, this guy is also very good at being a person.
Immediately after recognizing the mentor, he gave the ghost tome he was carrying as a gift to the mummy mother, but the mummy mother lost interest after turning a few pages.
This thing is just a collection of death spells that Tear Flesh learned from Dusk, and it may be considered a secret book for ordinary necromancers, but for people in Songhai, it is as worthless as a textbook for elementary school students.
Not only is it worthless, but there are many mistakes.
This is probably caused by some misunderstanding in the process of knowledge transmission, and anyway, the first lesson that Ah Feng has to learn under Nephitali is to reshape his spirit structure.
According to the mummy mother, Ah Feng's current terrible structure that makes up the spirit body suppresses a lot of his potential, and he must be torn down and redone!
Wow!
This girl with a brain in water is really strict when she teaches.
——
As the days passed, and after the "war dogs" recruited by Murphy to Transncia also adapted to the rhythm of the real game, the six-month closed beta finally came to an end.
Today is February 17, 1112 in the Anno calendar, which is also the day when the closed beta ends, and there is a countdown to the server closure in the interface of each player's Computing Orb.
It's like a whip urging players who are still roaming around the world to find a safe save spot and get ready to go offline as soon as possible.
Fortunately, there are many ways to get around Translancia, including portals that are quick and easy to use and require a gold payment for each use, as well as vulture flight points set up by mountain dwellers everywhere.
If you really want to save money, get on the vehicle and run on your own.
All you need is a few bags of oats, a dozen eggs, a little fresh meat, and a bundle of carrots per 100 kilometers, and the Demon Hunter with the largest number of vehicles is happy to send their owner to the nearest save point.
When planning the stronghold before, Murphy had already decentralised the save point.
In addition to the Midnight Chamber of the Crimson Keep, there are now the Crimson Keep Business District, the village of Morland and the city of Batasin, the first five PFGs, Fort Riptide and the Ancestral Woods, the Maginot Line and the Smuggler's Woods, the Wolfsburgh, the Shadow Valley, and the Bafont Canyon camp.
The Black Flame Pass also had a save point.
Lord Heather had agreed to set aside an area of the camp for the Gentiles, but considering that a large-scale Scourge could break out at any time, Murphy did not set up a save point there for the time being.
However, the current save points are enough for players.
Most of the current 3,000 players have gathered in Wolf Castle and Shadow Valley to prepare for the offline, but there are also some guys who are more nostalgic and have a strange sense of ritual and have to return to the "birthplace" before the server closes.
It's as fucking as having to park the character in the catacombs of Deathknell before the server is stopped, and it's full of a kind of player-specific romance.
Anyway, two hours before the shutdown, the Scarlet Keep, which had been quiet, returned to the lively situation before, and many players strolled through the city that had changed a lot, choosing a good place to take pictures.
For example, the six guys of the Crimson Beast found their sculptures in the city, and each took a handsome photo under their own sculpture.
I have to say that the craftsmanship of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons is becoming more and more exquisite, and the guys who have set up statues in the city are very satisfied, and even Qin Ye secretly took a few photos of himself and his own sculptures, planning to wash them out as a souvenir after going offline.
And the administrative players are more difficult, they are like poor social animals before the vacation, and they have to seize the last time to do the work handover.
The all-risk semi-trailer, mud truck and forklift man attack, these personnel who are suspended in the administrative department can say that although they have high positions, they are not busy with their daily work, and it is not a big problem to hand over the permanent deputy secretary of their department to be in charge for three days.
But the guys Lao Huo, Maomaotu, and Tempal are not so simple.
They had to arrange the work in the village before going offline, for example, Lao Huo had to temporarily entrust the operation of Treasure Bay to the local deputy village chief appointed by himself.
It's even worse on the Tepal side.
The affairs of Fort Riptide were clearly explained, and the logistics team led by His Excellency Serac Fanta suddenly resigned a few days ago, and went crazy to become an apprentice on the halfling airship, resulting in the original perfect logistics of the Riptide Knights now having to be rearranged.
However, although they are in a hurry, they are most likely enjoying it.
After all, everyone plays games in different ways, has different ways of having fun, and even has a different understanding of "fun".
"I've come back from Black Flame Pass with a lot of advanced drawings!"
In the "Hammer of War" workshop, Master Broken Knife patted the dwarven mechanical lockbox in his hand, and said to his brother and the two brothers:
"After the closed beta begins, our workshop will be ready to go through all these advanced drawings first, and provide more powerful equipment and weapons to the brothers.
Anyway, we'll have to hurry up and brush up on Lord Heather's personal reputation, I guess she'll be directly connected to the Dwarven Forge's questline, which will be important for our skill growth! This continent cannot be recognized by the dwarven craftsmen, but it is definitely not a real industry master.
It's still a fucking standard. ”
"Hiromu and Duowen are still training hard, they plan to train the combat profession and manufacturing at the same time, saying that wearing their own forged armor to fight is the romance of a blacksmith, I think they are asking for trouble."
Brother Zhiguo reached out and touched the iron felt beside him, pouted and said:
"After the next launch, I also have to try to make armor with psionic alloys, as soon as the Black Plague starts, the brothers' equipment needs will inevitably skyrocket. There is also the need for weapons on the KPA side, and it seems that there are a few more apprentices to bring with them. ”
"We can't always engage in handicrafts."
Brother Chang was very thoughtful, he rubbed his beard, and said:
"We have to find an opportunity to go to the Sivir family's workshop to learn from it, I heard that everyone has started to make armor on a large scale, and we have to learn the craft secretly, and then lower the price of plate armor! Now that plate armor is so expensive, who can afford it?
This is not close to the people. ”
"Hey, do you still need to learn from them? It's not like we don't have a hydraulic forging press over there. ”
Hundred forging horses pouted and said:
"If it weren't for the pandemic lockdown, I would have gone to procure a one-to-one replica of the physical thing. Mrs. Shui's side has begun to prepare for the construction of a garment factory, and I said that we must follow up as well. Forget it, let's wait until after the launch.
See you in three days, brothers! ”
After saying that, this guy casually found a place to lie on the ground, and then went offline.
In another part of the Crimson Keep, in the residential area where the clergy of the Avalon Church lived, in a room on the third floor of a certain building, Niu Niu was saying goodbye to his paper man wife.
Well, seeing that Anbo's face was crimson and disheveled at this time, Niu Niu must have done something bad just now, and maybe he also got some "secret method" blessings from Yan Sang and Brother Wu Meow.
"I don't believe that Master Murphy can keep our cattle locked up"
The vampire sword guard sat in a chair, holding his dear in his arms, and he said viciously:
"When I let go, I'll eat you little goblin hard!"
"Hmph."
To this, Miss Amber responded with a haughty snort, and she gasped, leaned against Niu Niu's chest, and whispered:
"You'll be back in three days, right? Do you suddenly get sick of everything here at some point and choose to leave forever? Master Murphy has said that you are free and cannot be bound by the Otherworldly Summoning Technique.
Will you leave me here alone? ”
"What nonsense!"
Niu Niu hugged the beauty in his arms very unhappily.
He lowered his head and kissed Anbo's long hair, this girl was not originally this hairstyle, it was Niu Niu who said that he liked Rapunzel once, so Anbo kept his hair, these details are hidden in the plot, but it is enough to make Niu Niu's heart feel moved.
He said:
"I'm going to live here until I'm old and dead, even if I can only see you with a helmet, and I'm not allowed to do anything dangerous for three days, do you hear? Peace of mind is here waiting for me to come back. ”
"Hmm."
Anbo raised his head, and the two looked at each other and kissed again to announce the moment of parting, and when the time passed by in the quiet beauty, the Scarlet Keep also quieted down little by little.
The Otherworldly Heroes will be away for a while, but they will soon be back to continue their unfinished business.
Countdown 15 seconds.
“mua~”
Under the stunned gaze of Happy Stick, Melia pushed him to the chair, and then gave Brother Bang a deep kiss that he had never felt before.
"Master Murphy has given me a secret mission."
Melia whispered in Brother Bang's ear:
"He wants me to tie you up in Transia anyway, and I shouldn't have told you that, but this is the last chance, my lord, and you may not come back. But I believe that if you choose to come into this world again, then you can't live without me.
Is your heart beating so hard because of joy? ”
"Me"
"Smack"
Brother Bang's eyes were dark, as if the whole world had left him
It's time for server downtime!
