The night went by quickly.

Because Murphy had to go into the bio pod every few hours to detoxify, he couldn't stay with Tracey, who was tired enough to fall asleep at midnight, until dawn.

But physical fatigue could not hide a certain joy in his heart, and as Murphy got up to pick up his clothes from the ground, he glanced back at the Grand Duke on the bed.

The other party has his back to him, and his smooth back is full of the beauty of a work of art.

Murphy reached out and touched the skin without lust, and he gently stroked down from the scar on Tracey's neck, an action that made Tracey grunt in her sleep, but it didn't stop him.

Both knew what the reluctant scar meant.

It had been a line separating the two, but now that the line had been crossed, and the two truly possessed each other, the painful past represented by the scar had diminished, and certainly not gone up in smoke.

Until Luna is actually eliminated, Tris and Murphy will not be able to relax and enjoy their new lives.

Murphy shook his head, pulled the quilt over and covered Tracy, and then coughed and shook off the Astral Guide Staff form of the Vientiane Device and left the bedroom, heading to the biology room to detoxify.

As he descended into the ground in the elevator, he saw Maxim crawling out of the creature pod.

The monster's weakness had been completely removed, and by the time Murphy saw him, the blood connection that had existed between the two was gone, like two strangers.

This made Maxim very uncomfortable.

He put on a bath towel and stopped talking.

"How does it feel to be free? Mark. ”

Murphy took the initiative to speak.

"It sucks! I feel like I've lost my focus and purpose in life, you know, I'm just a freak who needs to be subordinated to others to burst out with all my power, and I've been given freedom that I never needed! ”

Maxim complained:

"I used to know how to go, I didn't lose my way before, you were the beacon that guided me, but now, it seems like I'm going to get lost at any moment.

It's a terrible feeling.

I don't know how other people have dealt with it, but it's not a blessing to me. ”

"It's a normal feeling, Mark, you used to be too distorted."

Murphy adjusted the thirty-minute auto-wake program on the control panel of the biological pod, and then turned back to Maxim and said:

"But you see, losing the constraints of the blood pact doesn't make you a loyalist a traitor all at once, you just feel lost but not really lost, you actually know where you want to go, so the next question is whether you want to go on or not.

Go back and think about it, Mark.

Loyalty should be pure, not influenced, and the mind should eventually surrender to someone's feet, willing to be a hound.

I was touched by your loyalty in the past, but I also have my duty as a leader, and protecting your souls and minds is one of them.

I want to open a point.

From now on, you'll be free to choose where you want to spill your blood, and the relationship between you and Leenia will finally be able to move forward unfettered. ”

"Perhaps, but the price is too heavy for me, and alas, I am no longer in a position to ridicule Adele's weakness, for I have become one of the weakling.

It feels too bad. ”

Maxim bowed his head, he was visibly troubled, so Murphyty suggested:

"Before you go back to the Black Flame Pass, you can go to the Valley of the Shadows and find a fellow named 'Raven', he is currently the most proficient in thinking and philosophy among the Gentiles, and he may be able to give you some advice.

It's time for you to go, Mark.

During the time I can't go to the front, you'll have to do your duty in my place. ”

"I won't let you down, master."

Mark said in a deep voice:

"I will bring you back victory."

"Victory is inevitable, but the process is bound to twists and turns, and Adele is checking the Black Flame Pass for some dangers that we have overlooked, remember the plans I told you earlier?"

Murphy, dressed in the Voyager straitjacket, lay down in the biological pod, and he said to Maxim:

"Prepare for the big retreat when you go back this time, the possibility of the worst is greatly increasing, at that point, it's time for you to turn the tide, remember to take Leenia with you, let her give her an assist.

I think that after this battle, if Lord Pa Ying did not give the meritorious Reenia a jar of source blood, then he would be too stingy. ”

"You're really heartbroken about my business, but in fact, you can completely leave it alone, it's my private matter after all."

Mark sighed and said:

"Leania now feels that all of this was arranged by you, and I don't want her to have similar thoughts, but your thoughtful planning makes me powerless to refute it."

"Don't be like this, I'm destined to not be able to love purely, I just want to have a little sense of participation in your pure love."

Murphy smiled subtly, stretched out his hand to say goodbye, and then went into sleep in the bio pod, wrapped in a transparent liquid.

After he fell asleep, Maxim walked over to the closed creature pod.

He looked at the handsome vampire lord among them.

A few seconds later, he half-knelt in front of the biopod as if he had sworn an oath, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice from behind.

"It doesn't have to be this way, Mark, we can all see your loyalty, don't doubt yourself for the sake of that pot of source blood."

Trissy, dressed in a robe, walked into the creature room in high spirits, like a very happy old aunt who had squeezed out the little fresh meat, and the interference from Luna and the Scarlet Witch had vanished with a blushing and heart-pounding indulgence.

She felt as if she had come back to life, and even rejuvenated, and she didn't know if the vampires had the evil trick of "picking the yang and supplementing the yin". Although it is still the same seductive posture as before, the loss of something suddenly makes Tracey more feminine.

Hmm, maybe that's the change from a girl to a young woman?

As for why it woke up so quickly.

Obviously, she was just pretending to be asleep to avoid the embarrassment that the "one-night stand" had to face when she was awake, and now, while Murphy had fallen asleep, Tracey could finally restore herself to the posture of the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture.

She looked at Maxim, who was half-kneeling, and said:

"You know, Murphy never doubted your loyalty, and you doubted yourself."

"It's different!"

Maxim stubbornly said:

"Bear witness to the vows I have made for my Lord!

No longer bound by the blood pact, I will re-bind and arm my heart with this oath.

I was not at all pleased to be free, and I knew that serving Master Murphy was the most honorable career I could ever have in my life.

I still long to share in his glory and be his first blade! ”

"Alas, a typical dependent personality, you can't put off this disease any longer."

Tracey sighed and said:

"As I said to you, you have entrusted everything you have to your master long before the blood pact was imposed. It's an honor for little Murphy to have your allegiance. ”

"The host gave me everything and I had to respond."

Maxim recited aloud the oath he had taken when he joined the Vulture Clan, and Tracey watched as a witness, just as a knight swore allegiance to a lord and a general swore an oath to a king.

The moment he got up, the former Maxim returned.

And this time, his heart is also more tenacious.

"Let's go on the expedition."

Tris Says:

"Your soldiers and your cause are waiting."

"Well, please take care of the master."

Maxim whispered:

"I'm going to kill all the gnolls! In this life, all those who have to do with the twilight will be my eternal enemies, and the evil they do must be answered! They will surely taste my wrath, and even the wrath of the blood vultures! ”

——

"Today's divine blessing is a bit strange."

In the Valley of Shadows, the Hedong Lion, who had just presented ore to the altar of the Mother Earth Goddess, roared and said to the Sichuan West Wolf next to him in confusion:

"We've been blessed, but the whispers we've always heard when we ask for strength are gone, and the Earth Priests say they're a sign that Gaia has contacted us. The same is true of the blessings of other gods, but today those voices are gone.

How can this be described?

Let me think. ”

"From human customer service to automated response?"

The wolf in western Sichuan, who was carrying a big sword, said a word, and made the Hedong lion roar and nod again and again:

"Yes, yes, yes! It's this feeling, although the blessing effect is the same as before, but it always feels like something is missing, could it be that Mother Earth God has lost interest here? Her gaze shifted elsewhere? ”

The discussion between the two of them quickly caught the attention of one of the Earth Priests next to the altar, who hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to start a conversation with the two players.

After figuring out how the players felt, the Earth Priest's face became even more ugly.

While drawing the prayer gesture of the Mother Goddess on his chest with some anxiety, he said worriedly:

"Your feelings are not wrong, from last night until now, Mother Earth Goddess has been very silent, and this sudden silence is really worrying when it is related to the miracle a few days ago."

"Your gods are also silent?"

A warrior priest of the Wolf of the North Wind passed by and heard the Earth Priest speak.

He immediately stopped, and said to Gaia's priests:

"Sue has also stopped answering our prayers since last night, and it seems that this is no accident! There are things that happen in the kingdom of the gods, but we mortal believers cannot understand them.

The gods have been paying attention to the changes taking place in the Dark Mountains many times, and they will not suddenly withdraw at this time, perhaps we should ask the other believers for evidence, and if the gods are silent at the same time, then we must report this anomaly to their respective patriarchs. ”

The Earth Priest nodded, and said solemnly:

"I'll contact the servants of the Berserker, and you will contact the followers of Avalon."

"And the Eastern Holy Spirit and the Spider Lady."

The Hedong lion roared beside him and reminded:

"The servant of the Eastern Holy Spirit in the Black Flame Pass is only Knight Liwen, and Lady Spider's follower, Lady Villansor, is also here, and we can take care of it."

"Then let's do it as soon as possible."

Su's warrior monk urged, and the three waves of people immediately visited their intended targets, and everyone summed up the matter, and then found that things seemed to be really wrong.

In the process of gathering intelligence, the claims from the giant shark are particularly convincing.

"Boss Vam is no longer in my ear today! Damn, without that wild war cry, I wouldn't be able to pick up the gnolls! Ah,If I can't fight in my own BGM,,My blood and my domineering thoughts can't be satisfied at all! ”

He said this with a somewhat blasphemous meaning.

But listening to Shark, it seems that he has heard Vam's "roaring assist" every time he has fought to the heat of the day.

This phenomenon is new to the faithful, but now is not the time to discuss this strange phenomenon, as the belated Knight Liwen has brought rather bad news.

She herself is also in a bad situation.

She was pushed to the altar area of the Shadow Valley by Miss Jin Momo in a wheelchair, and the weakness caused by the divine power of the Astral Dragon had not yet dissipated.

"The subspace shadows launched an attack on the kingdom of the six gods almost simultaneously last night, and a great battle in the subspace has begun, and our gods and even all the other gods are at risk of being involved!"

Knight Liwen wore an eye patch, and she said in a weak but firm tone:

"The Holy Spirit of the East, the Wolf of the North Wind, the Mother Earth Goddess, and the Avalon of Nature will not have much of a problem, they have been battling the shadows of the subspace since the moment they ascended to the gods, and they do not need the blessings of faith from the physical world.

But things don't look good for Vam and Lady Spider!

They are the gods born of the faith, and they are much more closely connected to the believers than the other four gods.

My deity sent me an oracle before I joined the war of the kingdom of God, and he asked me to relay the news to the followers of Vam and Lady Spider, not to engage in large-scale religious ceremonies during this time, and to ensure that all imams are strict and check out their followers.

Once it is confirmed that there is confusion among believers, heresies must be eliminated immediately! Otherwise, it is easy to cause turmoil in the kingdom of God, and in the worst case, there will even be a 'fall of God', just like the current state of the Lord of the Hunt.

This is a serious big deal!

You must immediately relay this news to your respective Faith Cores. ”

"It's easy to say that the Berserker's followers are all barbarians, and there are few traces of cultist activities on the other side of Bingwan."

The priest of the earth said worriedly,

"But Lady Spider's beliefs are already dark and depraved, and he's probably the most susceptible deity."

"No!"

Liwen Knight said categorically:

"Avalon will help her.

The relationship between them is very complicated, and there will be no danger on the Spider Lady's side, in short, let's investigate it immediately.

It is likely that the actions of the subspace shadows have been influenced by the physical world, and the activities of the subspace cultists are likely to become rampant recently, and you must be prepared to protect the faith. ”

This statement shocked the members of the various faith sects around them, and at that moment, they truly realized that an era of chaos might indeed be coming.

Who would have thought that the great gods would be the first to be affected?

However, since the altar in the Shadow Valley can still be used, it means that the situation on the side of the gods is normal, and if it really comes to a critical moment, these divine powers will definitely be withdrawn.

What's more, it was a battle that took place in the subspace, and it was difficult for believers to do so if they wanted to help their gods.

This is probably the legendary situation of "things are big, and it's useless to rush".

The discovery of the Valley of the Shadows was soon spread to Tracy, presumably because Tracy was the best theologian in the entire continent, so Lord Heather specifically inquired about the impact of this incident on the Black Plague.

Tracey's response was very simple.

"It won't make a difference, don't worry!

This has happened before, and the divine powers of the believers can continue to be used, and ordinary faith spells will not be restrained, the only problem is that you can't expect to rely on 'ask the gods to come down' to help solve the problem when the battle is dangerous.

For example, what happened at Fort Courage and Death Terrace will be difficult to replicate in the rest of the war, which means that the defensive pressure on the Black Flame Pass will be greatly increased. ”

Tracy stood in the biology room guarding Murphy's creature pod, talking to the other party with the Blood Crystal that Lord Heather had given her.

The latter relaxed after hearing Triss say that it would not affect the outcome of the battle.

It's not that Lord Heather is arrogant, it's because that kind of divine spell can hardly really affect the outcome of a war.

The power of the gods in the material world has always needed a carrier, and as a good commander, Lord Heather has never pinned his hopes of victory in the war on divine surrender spells.

She quickly noticed the scene around Tris, and wondered:

"You're in a strange place, what? Are you Transancians so secretive? ”

"You don't need to keep it a secret here."

Tracey snorted, ruffled her long hair, and said:

"Because Lord Pa Ying has already reserved a biological pod here, he will soon come over and dig out something that interests him, so you dare to reveal this place, it is definitely not me who is causing you trouble."

"Hey, don't use Lord Pa Ying to press me, well, I'm really afraid of him, but it's not a shame, what vampire isn't afraid?"

Lord Heather snorted, but then changed his words and said:

"You don't look the same as before, Trissy, I can't tell you what has changed, but you always feel like you're very happy, did you go out and pick up the money?"

"Yes, I picked up a big baby, the kind that can make me happy for a long, long time."

Tracey shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Murphy behind her, who was about to end her hibernation.

She said to Heather:

"I won't tell you, I still have something to do. Plus, Murphy is alive, he's healthy, and he'll be back to his post soon, so don't worry about your 'backup plan' and do your duty." ”
