700. In the face of Gen's assassination revenge, Murphy's choice is to continue the provocation!
Now that the situation in the Black Flame Pass has become like this, he said that he would fight back, if others said so, Dames would definitely turn around and leave!
What are you kidding, I'm the high-ranking ranger captain of the Castile Elven Kingdom, and I'm talking and laughing with characters like the Elf King and the Lord of Pa Ying, how can I have time to play this kind of dark plague joke with you here?
But considering that it was Lord Murphy who said this kind of thing, and just now, Murphy performed a trick on him in person.
Just looking directly at the evil god with the naked eye, not being affected, and protecting the people around him from mental interference, this unique skill was enough for the indifferent Captain Dames to give a precious trust to Murphy at this moment.
"But aren't you in charge of the retreat?"
The elven captain didn't even have time to mourn for his "blackened" luna vulture, he retrieved his halberd and bow from the ground, looked at Murphy, and said:
"You're just leaving, what about the people in the rear position?"
"I am their lord, not their nanny. At the moment, this situation has been planned for a long time, just advance according to the retreat plan, and besides, there is my righteous partner, Grand Duke Tris, who is watching there. ”
Murphy reached out for a halfling compass to confirm the sense of direction that had been completely distorted by the interference of the dark lord's breath, and said without looking back:
"What's more, my blood friend, Lord Heather, has unleashed his greatest secret, and the power of this evil god lies across the Black Flame Pass, and unless the gnolls die, they won't rush hard.
Don't you feel it yet?
The power of the evil gods is modifying the reality here.
All the light sources around it are being swallowed by it, and if we can't send it to other places quickly, the Black Flame Pass won't need it.
This can certainly stop the Black Plague from running to Transasia, but if left unchecked, it will become a gangrene in the connection between the real world and the subspace. Although it was definitely not caused by Dusk's conspiracy, but under the impetus of fate, it actually made things develop like this, and the dog crumbs of Dusk estimated that they would wake up laughing from their dreams.
I don't even dare to think about what horrible things this murderous Lord of Darkness on Heather will do on the continent once the era of chaos they were expecting has fully arrived.
But if they're happy, I'm going to be upset.
So I'm going to use a huge 'bomb' to get rid of all the problems here! This is no way, but as long as the equivalent is enough, it can also be blown up to solve a thousand sorrows. ”
"You seem to know a lot about these things that don't belong in the physical world?"
Daems looked at Murphy warily and said:
"I've heard your name, Lord Murphy, you're just a young vampire."
"But I have a great lover, and my girlfriend is the best theologian on the continent, and she told me that."
Murphy glanced back at the one-eyed elf who was talking to him, he shrugged his shoulders, showed a gentle smile on a small white face, and said:
"You think I'm gifted at eating soft rice, so do you want to continue wasting time here, or do you want to go to Fort Courage with me? As you can see, I'm just an ordinary Black Iron, and now I have to have a powerful guy to protect me if I want to cross the treacherous Black Flame Pass. ”
Daems is not a joker.
He belongs to the kind of typical old-school elves who are very rigid and boring, but at this moment, when he heard Murphy say that he was a mediocre black iron, the high-level ranger couldn't help but want to complain fiercely.
You bastard vampire take a look at the white circle of light beside you that can easily dispel even the power of the evil god, and then say yes, okay?
Is this some hellish Trancian style barbarian joke?
It's not like I haven't been to Transia in the last black plague, the people there are barbaric and closed, but they don't have the good eloquence and good attitude of the guy in front of me.
"But how do we get there?"
Dames suppressed his desire to complain and grabbed his bow to fulfill his duties as a bodyguard, he looked around but couldn't find a working path, and when he saw that Murphy was already shaking his wings for takeoff, he asked.
The vampire lord pointed to the ground and said:
"The tunnel dug by the nezumi is dozens of meters underground, and the aura of the Lord of Darkness has not been able to penetrate so quickly, and now the nezumi have all run, so as long as we are fast enough, we can rush to Fort Courage before the power of darkness completely engulfs the Black Flame Pass.
The rest is simple.
My warriors are already there with everything they need to fight back, and all they need now is a 'sign' and I'll deliver the Counter Blade to them myself."
Let's go.
There's no time to waste, I'll explain it to you slowly along the way. ”
After saying that, Murphy jumped to his feet, and jumped down towards the rock formation below that was "decomposed and swallowed" by the floating black strange force in the wings closed, and Dames touched the moon girl sculpture in his arms, and prayed for Avalon's blessing in his heart, and then jumped down as well.
But after entering the nezumi pit of Position Nine, Dames found that it was not just the two of them on this trip, there was also a spider girl of the shadow elves waiting there.
"Heresy!"
Daems scolded:
"How dare you be here?"
"Shut up, fool who lives in the tree."
Ignoring the provocation of the high-ranking ranger, Velanther moved her six spider legs with some unease, and said to Murphy:
"We must get out of here as soon as possible, master, the power of the evil gods above is very strong, and the Nightmare Tyrant Bafont is only a small man compared to him. It's hard to imagine how Lord Pa Ying sealed Him in Heather's Lordship. ”
"The Ancients always had a lot of strange abilities."
Murphy, flying low in the empty nezumi tunnel, said:
"But I'm more inclined to believe that the Lord is probably using external forces, those that he himself has forgotten where he came from but still uses them, those that are not vampires, and when we meet him, I think all the secrets will be solved."
"You have a gold-level guard, and you want me to come with you?"
Captain Dames Golden Leaf finally sensed that something was wrong, and as he stepped back, he said:
"I now feel like you're trying to trick me into committing a murder."
"Don't take yourself so seriously! The master wanted to kill you, and he didn't need to save you at all, your poor will was meaningless in the face of the filth of an evil god. ”
Velanther turned around and said maliciously:
"You are alive and well under the protection of my powerful and mysterious master, and if you dare to escape from this light, you will be noticed by the Lord of Darkness above, and of course you can not follow us, boring forest elves.
But you know exactly what that means. ”
"Don't worry about Velanther's intimidation, I just wanted to talk to you about the elves."
Murphy was as gentle as ever, and he motioned for Dames to follow, not to leave the faint white light that shone beside him, lest he enter the darkness and be engulfed by the evil god.
In Fast March, he said to the Elven Ranger:
"I've heard from some of my sources that during the ten years of war on the continent, you elves have been collecting the lost relics of the church of Avalon, and it is said that half of the holy blades have fallen into your hands.
If the Old Religion dies out, there is nothing to say about your actions, but now that the Human Sanctuary in Avalon has been re-established in Translasia, can I ask you to return those blades? ”
"Are you kidding?"
Dames whispered:
"Do you really think I'm an ordinary high-level ranger qualified to participate in this kind of thing?"
"Of course an ordinary Ranger captain can't, but your surname is 'Golden Leaf', isn't it?"
Murphy glanced at him and said:
"You see, as I just said, I have a very powerful girlfriend, and I know from her that the two families of Gold Leaf and Silver Leaf are the favored servants of the Elven Court for generations, and you were the henchmen of King Querion at the beginning of this era.
The Black Plague is about to invade Translasia, and you have experienced the fall of the Black Flame Pass, and I don't think I need to make any more panic, and after our counterattack is over, you and your elves will be able to leave.
But I want you to convey my request to King Querion.
Transencia and the nascent church of Avalon need those blades, so think of them as special armaments to support the war. After all, if Transncia can't stop the mad gnolls, maybe the worst of the Fourth Black Plague will happen again?
Also, I want to confirm one more thing. ”
The Vampire Governor looked at the high-ranking ranger who was speechless, and he whispered:
"Is the Glennie Grail of the Church of Avalon also in your hands? If you have been on the hunt for the Holy Blade, then the Holy Grail, which is more valuable than the Holy Blade, may be your target. ”
"Nope!"
This time Daems replied decisively:
"We have searched for the Holy Grail of the Catholics of mankind, but we have found nothing! But a little more than a year ago, strange news came back from the North Sea, and it was said that some merchants passing by the waters off the coast of Glenn had seen a green holy light flickering in the night of Grammour.
Therefore, if the human followers of Avalon want to recover their Holy Grail, I suggest that they go to the abandoned sanctuary.
As long as they are not afraid of being caught and beheaded by King Louis. ”
"Well, I see, thanks for the message."
Murphy nodded, asking no more.
This decisive attitude surprised the high-ranking ranger a little.
That's it?
Did you really go to the trouble of bringing me here just to be a messenger for me to help you deliver a message?
Shouldn't you have coerced me into asking for more information about the Holy Blade at this time? Or is this handsome vampire a little lacking? Did he really believe that he would help him deliver a letter to the Elven King?
Dems's mental activity was clearly "heard" by Murphy.
The power of desire was always working, but the vampire governor didn't have time to explain more to the mysterious ranger.
Even if he wasn't an outstanding psionist, Murphy could clearly feel the power of the Lord of Darkness above his head expanding rapidly, his dark aura seeping into the land, and even the unstable psionic energy near the contamination.
If the time drags on a little longer, the entire Black Flame Pass will be filled with the power of dark corruption.
This guy is not quite the same as the subspace shadows that Murphy has faced, the Lord of Darkness does not have the distorted and corrupt power of the subspace evil spirits that directly affects the soul, and he is still using the method of seduction to weaken the mind of his prey, which seems to indicate that he has a connection with the subspace, but it is not profound.
It's even possible that this guy wasn't a god born in subspace.
After all, when Heather's life candle was identified just now, the information given by the character card was quite clear, this guy was an "old god".
This was the first time Murphy had seen the term.
But it wasn't the first time he had faced such a similar force, and if you looked closely, this dark lord was somewhat similar to the nightmare tyrant Bafengte in the Bafengte dungeon who had not yet awakened.
Perhaps the Nightmare Tyrant was also a member of the old gods, and they were not the same as the "new gods" like Avalon and Sue who had ascended to the gods with the help of the Creator since the beginning of this era, and they were not at all as powerful and indescribable as the shocking and indescribable shadows of the subspace, but more akin to the evil gods in the traditional sense.
Ah, these distinctions are too complicated to explain.
It's not Murphy's area of expertise, and maybe you can ask Tracey later when you get back, she's a theologian who must have studied these things.
"We're almost there, master."
Willencer vigilantly clutches several Spider Lady tokens along the way, ready to "save the scene", but this part of the road is unusually quiet and safe, and there are no accidents.
It wasn't until Murphy led Willant and Dyms out of the broken tunnel at the other end of the Black Flame Pass position that they knew why no one bothered.
The road from the Black Flame Pass to Fort Courage was also fragmented, and although it was not attacked by the power of the Lord of Darkness, it was full of tens of thousands of wandering dead spirits, large and small, and there was still a rather strong aura of Hades.
The necessary evil suspended by Murphy's side roamed to draw the power of death from the place, and the three of Murphy hurried forward, soon spotting survivors in the "sea of the dead" that was just wandering but not hurting.
Picking up a shotgun that is intimidating in the current horde of demons, she guards the unconscious mummy with the champion Pemba, and on the broken rocks not far from Nefertali, there is a corpse dressed in a strange denim outfit that has been almost torn apart.
"Ah, Lord Murphy!"
Terranova, who had been frightened by the previous battle, hurriedly ran up after seeing the main NPC appear, waving her hands and telling her powerful NPC what had just happened.
"What? Bayek, the chief priest of the Church of the Dead Moon, has been hiding in Nephitali's body, and he has also fought with the Twilight Cultists who awakened tens of thousands of undead here to form an army, destroying the entire mountain path and killing many gnolls along the way?
Also, who do you say the cultist is? ”
Murphy was stunned when he heard this, it was obvious that what had happened here had exceeded his imagination, and in the face of his question, the new Terranova immediately waved her hands and shouted:
"It's a fellow named 'Mamluk Wraith King', his nickname in the twilight is 'The Explorer', and I heard the little mummy say that he was the most terrible, crazy, and paranoid tyrant Pharaoh in the history of the Songhai Empire.
It was he who started the war with the Elven Kingdom three hundred years ago!
The bridge!
Passage Bridge!
I'd heard the story of the bridge from the bearded dwarf Ilyich before, the bad warlord! He was sealed, but escaped to join the twilight, from whom the gnolls learned their knowledge of death.
The consciousness of the Wraith King has been captured by Lord Bayek and brought back to the Land of Origin, so we don't have to worry about encountering him again.
Oh yes, and this one! ”
Terranova, who "enjoyed" a story CG by herself, excitedly picked up a cold Songhai scepter hidden behind her and handed it to Murphy, she said:
"This is the 'gift' that Old Master Bayek specially told me to give you before leaving, and he said that if the core scepter of this Ten Thousand Souls Feast is placed in Sike City, it will be able to prevent the Hades army there from being manipulated by Dusk!
It is also said that the little mummy will know how to use it after waking up. ”
"Hmm, so, the reason Nefitali is crazy is because Bayek is hiding in her soul?"
Murphy asked curiously, and Terranova shook her head vigorously and said:
"No, no, no, I asked this question too, but the chief priest of Bayek sighed and said that the little mummy's madness was really only because of the water in his brain, and it had nothing to do with his old man's hiding.
In addition, he commented that you are truly the Chosen One.
You are also invited to make sure to take a time to visit the Land of Origin, and you will become the supreme guest of the entire Songhai Empire. ”
"Well, when the situation of the Black Plague eases, I will definitely pass."
Murphy put away the core scepter of the Feast of All Souls and said to Terranova:
"Bring the little mummy, let's go to Fort Courage immediately, this terrible day at the Black Flame Pass should be over!"
——
"Damn, why hasn't Master Murphy come yet! What the hell is that big monster in the Black Flame Pass? I heard those guys on the forum break the news that it was some evil god unleashed by Lord Heather?
So, have we been taking missions from the evil gods all this time?
Hey, what's going on with a little cool? ”
The cars in Fort Courage jumped up and down in a hurry, and the old players next to them couldn't help but walk back and forth one by one, and even Mrs. Shui, who had always been the calmest, couldn't help but whisper her worries to Brother Huozi.
They have been waiting here for a long time.
The three Serenade Enchantment Core Crystals were stacked on the top platform of the Fort Courage Center building, and all the psionics of all the people who had fled here were already in place.
Both the player psychic and the NPC psychic will be filled with a rare temperament of anger and hatred, especially those who have escaped from the Black Flame Pass for the rest of their lives, and their gaze towards the dark land is extremely complicated.
But what is certain is that the anger in the hearts of these people has been ignited.
As long as the damned gnolls can be punished, they'd rather go to hell with the barbarians.
The Goatmen's Spell Corps was putting the finishing touches on the upcoming Astral Rip Ritual, and Finley the Old Goatman was thrilled, even a little afraid, about what was about to happen.
As an outstanding sorcerer, it can fully understand what a terrible disaster it can create with these three crystals in front of it, and at this time, it does not hesitate to throw such power on the enemy's head, so that it can only sigh that the Translancians are indeed a group of real madmen.
Now everything is ready, and all we owe is the east wind that can connect to the astral plane.
"Murphy-sama is here!"
The little rich brother flying around overhead to observe the situation shouted, and the players on the platform suddenly stood up in an uproar.
Murphy flapped his wings and fell from the dim sky, he glanced at the crystal core that had begun to be charged, nodded to the old goatman, and flicked his hand to insert the Vientiane device into the form of an astral guide staff and inserted it into the center of the ritual.
Murphy noticed that many of the psionics present were looking at him, their broken uniforms indicating that they were from the Black Flame Pass, and that their eyes were burning with flames.
The Governor felt that he had to say something at this time, and he thought for a moment and said to them:
"The Black Flame Pass is gone, the position is crumbling, the Jackals think they have won, and my friend your commander Heather has not hesitated to bet himself on the scales of war in order to stop the Black Plague.
We'll definitely get her back!
The people of Translancia are uncompromising, and we always do what we say!
But until then, we're going to make the claw-splitting gnolls pay for their blood! Right here, right now! Be patient, they're about to wail. ”
