The huge containment tank bounced out in all directions in a "flowering" posture during the continuous operation of the internal machinery, and after the built-in stable gas was expelled in the form of white smoke, the giant device contained in it finally appeared in front of the "groom" with a shy face like a shy "bride".

Different from Hogg's avant-garde "Virtuous Wolf Armament", the design of the power armor in front of him is decent, full of a classical and traditional beauty.

In particular, the round triple face-covering helmet reminded Murphy of the macho man who always appeared with a cigar in his memory.

In other words, Murphy has always wondered how he should complete the act of smoking when wearing that kind of armor? You know, the size of that guy's power nail finger has long exceeded the size of the cigar itself!

If you look closely, all parts of the power armor in front of you seem to be "round", of course, this is just a little visual fallacy brought about by adopting bionic design.

The unpainted humanoid armor was not activated at this time, and was therefore placed on the storage rack of the containment tank in a split form, which was also part of the armor itself due to the heavy and complex internal structure of the object, without which it would have been impossible for ordinary people to assemble and use it alone.

In terms of height, the thing reached nearly 5 meters, a little taller than Hogg's wolf armament when fully worn, and its most iconic feature was the two huge shoulder armors, which were placed on the storage rack and could clearly see the industrial aesthetic module arrangement inside the shoulder armor, which Murphy guessed was a matrix generator and energy absorption device.

Other than that, its overall appearance resembles that of a knight wearing heavy armor.

Obviously, the designers of more than 1,000 years ago did not forget to add a little "aesthetic" style to this thing while ensuring its use, especially the round helmet was designed to be in the shape of a knight's barrel helmet, and even had a built-in headband logo that could be raised.

Of course, despite all the aesthetic considerations possible, the overall appearance of this power armor still doesn't fit the aesthetic of vampires, at least in Murphy's opinion, it's a bit too plain.

With no light wings, no mechanical wings, no vulture emblems, no pretty night rose reliefs, no bat-like fancy shapes, not even the slightest vampire element, if you really wear this thing to fight, you will be ridiculed as a barbarian by the old old-fashioned people.

But these shortcomings are not a big problem at all in the face of the super strong attributes of power armor!

Although it has a simple appearance, it has a beauty called "intensity" that cannot be ignored!

Murphy reached out to his new toy with a sense of eagerness, and the moment he came into contact with the cold steel of the power armor, the item identification was initiated:

Name: "Battle Marshal" - Classic Creator Style Warlord Assault Power Armor

Two. Blueprint Upgrades:

This power mail is a prototype designed and manufactured by the Far Voyager Company for the Eden District Management Committee's Next Generation Military Weapons Bid, with room for upgrades, but must be in a specific device to complete the subsequent upgrade process.

3. AI Vacancies:

This power armor is a prototype work, and the designers of the Far Traveler Company have not yet designed and produced it to adapt to AI, so this power armor does not have an automatic combat mode and requires the user to actively activate various functions.

Prompt!

Due to the lack of assistive AI, users need to have a high level of engineering literacy to use the power armor system smoothly.

Manufacturer: The production line of the "Far Traveler" security service provider under the Eden District Peacekeeping Weapons Design Bureau.

Item Description:

[This 'War Commander' was designed to defend the Eden and the Creator System, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time, and it was not even sent out of its birthplace, and its mission to defend civilization has failed.

If Power Armor also has emotions, then this guy is estimated to have been crying alone for a thousand years.

And I guess it must be full of anger. 】

"Ha, good baby, what are you crying about, the world you want to defend is still there, we are still there, the enemy is still there, look, you still have everything, come on, prepare to wake up, and then let's happily go and cut down a few gnolls together."

Murphy smiled and patted the power armor, and that eerie smile resembled that of a serial murderer who had found his victim.

He completely ignores the item's entry warning that "requires a great deal of engineering literacy to use perfectly", and as the noble Administrator Alpha, he always has a fair amount of privilege to choose from cheating.

"Eden, lo and behold, I've got you a new home"

Murphy patted his core orb and whispered.

No one responded to him.

But the invisible thing that followed Murphy like a ghost already knew what the noble administrator wanted, and a faint spark of electricity soon jumped in the split power armor structure in front of Murphy's eyes.

When he activates the item identification again, the specific entry is no longer visible, except for a prompt that says "Combat AI is writing and downloading".

"Well, I don't understand why you have been reluctant to meet with me, I guess you must have something to hide, Pa Ying told me you may be polluted."

Murphy whispered:

"But you know, as an alpha, I don't really care if a super AI is born with self-awareness, and how it activates intelligence, as long as you are firmly on our side, then you are one of my most trusted assistants.

Okay, okay, I know you might need some more time to convince yourself, and that's okay, I can afford to wait!

Until you solve your own psychological problems, let's maintain this tacit understanding of 'eye contact'.

After a while, I may need you to help me do something 'pretending to be a god', you know, it's all about fulfilling my mission as the Alpha Creator, what a big bastard who can dump the pot! ”

"Huh"

The electric sparks that pulsed on the power armor were violent for a moment, as if Eden was expressing his objection to Murphy with the words, and it clearly did not think that the Great Creator was a bastard who was evading responsibility.

"Midnight Mother is above, what is this? Looks so energetic! ”

The exclamation of the pirate captain Pablo rang out behind Murphy, and several vampires were shocked by what Murphy saw, even the shadow elf vampire master assassin hidden in Andre's shadow.

They who play metaphysics can't understand the meaning of this set of power armor to Murphy, so Murphy didn't bother to explain, just waved his hand without looking back and said:

"It's the most delicious part of the cake, and it's also a gift for my 20th birthday, and even though it's more than half a year away from my birthday, the kids know how to reward themselves.

Don't drool, this thing can't be given to you.

At least until I'm done with it, no one wants to snatch it away from me! ”

With that, Murphy stretched out his finger and pointed at the large, oversized container next to him, as if activating some hidden command, causing the thing to open the mechanical door with a click.

Inside is a complete set of containment and maintenance devices for the external components of the Power Armor, including the five large external reinforcement components of the "Commander Array" explained in the Power Armor entry just now, as well as the weapons equipped for this set of commanders.

From large-caliber rapid-fire guns to chilly two-handed power swords, to sword shields for melee combat, and power packs for quick transfer of various enhanced components.

The contents of this container are out of step with the outside world, and the people who walk in here are like Roman legionnaires in the age of 2077, and even arrogant vampires can fully perceive the greatness of the Creator and the Golden Age from the silent machines that have been waiting here for a thousand years.

"It's unimaginable. What a glorious last era must have been. ”

André wandered among the imperceptible machines, he raised his head to look at the powerful components placed on the storage rack in front of him, and looked at the mechanical frame of the "battering ram" like the fists of giants, and some corners of the poet's heart were touched, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity that we've lost it completely, like a dream that has long been awakened, and we don't even have the qualifications to experience that dreamlike beauty.

What a tragedy. ”

"It wasn't as good as you think, and all the troubles we have now are the 'gifts' of the previous era."

Murphy was obviously more neutral and realistic, he took out a standard energy battery and put it in the energy chamber of the console, and while following the process to activate the gadgets, he casually said:

"Those bastards have a whole blueprint for a bright future, but they still can't resist the despicable desire in their hearts to become gods and demons, and finally tear apart the cradle left by the Creator to this world, and put a war in front of our eyes that continues to this day, and don't even want to ask us if we are willing to help them clean up the mess.

Ah, vampires.

We are also one of those murderers!

We are the worst of the murderers, the ancients strangled the infant New World with their own hands, and that is the original sin we must bear. ”

"Hey! You've said something terrible! ”

Claire's first mate, who was wearing tights and protective gear, exclaimed with wide eyes:

"Is this a topic that can be discussed?"

"Even if Lord Pa Ying is here, I will still speak directly, and he will not be able to contradict me."

Murphy snorted, and the console was fully activated and began to connect to the signal on Eden's side for initialization, which took a little time to adapt, so the handsome vampire turned around and leaned against the flashing blue mechanical console, and said to the vampires in front of him:

"What I'm saying is just the truth, and now I'm just giving you a vaccination! In a few days, you will all have to come with me to a place, especially you, Pablo.

Take the shards of greed in your hands, and when the time comes, I will show you the sins of the ancients, and I hope you will be bolder.

Okay, let's talk about distribution.

I'll start with the requirements.

When you take my things, you will do your duty, and my request is that from now on, the Blood Vultures, Blood Dreads, and the White Mountain faction will form an official 'Midnight Secret Party'. I don't mean that kid-like allegiance game, I mean union in the truest sense of the word! ”

His gaze swept over the people in front of him and said:

"Abandon the alliance of the clan and the divisive tradition, and start with the three of us to transform this backward and rotten blood system, our division a thousand years ago was only a by-product of the catastrophe does not mean that our fate is like this, but the stupid archdukes are unwilling to abandon the view of the portal,

That's right, I'm talking about Shani

I hinted to her about it, but she wasn't interested at all, and beneath that dignified exterior was a hopelessly conservative soul.

Even Lord Pa Ying is the same.

The Lord has always lived in the echoes of the past, and the perfect leader is not the one who can create the future.

The ancients can't create the future I want, but you can!

I mean, we can! ”

"Blanch!"

Pablo understood what Murphy meant, and the always bold pirate looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"You want to unify the bloodlines? What a cliché and absolutely insane ambition, of course we of the Blooddread Clan would like it, but what about the Grand Dukes?

Lady Tracey doesn't need to say much, she'll listen to you.

But what about the others?

Don't you tell me you're going to take out Shani and Edward Sr., pull the Mystic Blood Clan out of the shadows, and finally challenge Lord Pa Ying, the defender of the Midnight tradition? ”

"If I have to, then I'll do it!"

Murphy glanced at the power armor in the distance, which was writing the automatic AI, and said:

"I can defeat them, I'm not kidding, but failure alone isn't enough to clean up those rotten minds that have been entrenched for thousands of years, and what the entire Bloodline needs is a reform from the bottom up.

Persuading the Grand Duke is not the starting point of reform, on the contrary, it is the end!

We need to spread new ideas throughout the Bloodline, you know what I mean?

Abandon the blood pact once and for all, and put an end to that unequal relationship!

Some people may think that this is very good, but my opinion is very simple, with a dog chain in hand, all you can get is slaves and hounds, and it is impossible to expect true friendship and shared ideals, and the reason is always obvious.

Could it be that a slave would fall in love with his master's whip?

If they're really in love, you're going to have to worry. ”

"But if there is no blood pact."

Andre was still a little hesitant, Murphy knew what he wanted to refute, he shook his head, and in the most direct way to pick out the contradiction, he said:

"Then let's have some more exciting news to help you think about it.

You may not know it yet, but the Mother of Midnight is no longer a mantra.

Ladies and gentlemen, a god has been created by Sarokdal in a self-destructive manner, and when it is finally complete, the vampire god will be born, but it is tainted at the beginning of its birth, just like the Lord of the Hunt.

In other words, as soon as the vampire god is born, all vampires, including those of us standing here, will inevitably fall into the manipulation of subspace.

We fight the Gnolls to slay the fallen Lord of the Hunt, but how can we stand up to ourselves?

Do you understand?

It's not that I want a radical and bloody reform, it's just that it has to be done! The Blood Pact is a conspiracy of the subspace, and it has been since the moment it was born, ladies and gentlemen, it is a web that holds all the vampires together.

Once the source falls, every vampire can't escape!

We don't have faith, but the blood pact is something more terrible than faith.

I don't know what you think, but I really don't want Tracey and me to fall into a worse end than death after witnessing the tragedy of the gnolls and brass dwarves, and I don't ask you to give me an answer right away, you still have time to think. ”

After speaking, Murphy took out his cool mechanical pocket watch, looked at the time, and said:

"You guys talk about it here, I'm going to have to look for the cherry garnish on the last piece of pastry I want to get."

He stepped away, and after a few steps, Andre was crushed by the shoulder.

The Count of White Mountain looked at him and said:

"I can't betray Grand Duke Shani"

"Then you're going to have to give up your sister!"

Murphy stared into his eyes and shoved the source of jealousy that Shani had given him before into Andre's hand, and he said in a calm tone:

"Don't tell me, you didn't taste the hidden contradiction between your sister and Shani, who single-handedly put your sister on the throne and called herself the Wolf Girl, but the question is, does the Wolf Girl really need that shadow who tries to shape her future with her ideas?

If your sister is as perfect as you describe, even if only a tenth of it, then she will never tolerate the future of herself and her kingdom being wantonly dictated by a vampire Grand Duke!

The conflict between your sister and Xia Ni will eventually erupt!

So, Andrey, make a choice.

Don't be too greedy.

You know very well that you can only choose one! ”
