933. A good day begins with saving one god and ends with taking out another
"How does it feel to walk the astral plane for the first time?"
Murphy, who had just jumped into the material world from the astral walk that Mannes himself conducted, looked back and asked.
The expression on his face was calm and perfect, with a gentle aura.
However, His Highness Khufu, who was asked, covered his mouth, pushed away his head of guard as he returned from the strange astral realm to the down-to-earth material world, and rushed to the side, spitting out a rainbow with a snort.
Well, even if you are the prince of the Songhai Empire, this kind of thing is not something that you try every day, and the first time you are shocked by the energy of the astral plane, you just vomit, and it can already prove that His Royal Highness Khufu pays attention to exercising on weekdays.
Truth be told, under no circumstances should a prince venture across the astral plane to save time, but the fact that the Lord of the Hunt has fallen is too much to do with it, so that Khufu has to follow Murphy to the Moss Valley to confirm the final battle.
What's more, this journey is not as dangerous as imagined.
With Mannes and Tritan escorting them, and Khufu's special status, Murphy could always feel two looming auras following them during his astral journey.
One is as hot as the sun, the other is as cold as the dead moon.
"That's Palom and Hades."
Mannes's voice explained in Murphy's ear:
"It's the two demigods of the Songhai people in the astral boundary, the very arrogant kind, who usually don't bother to play with us wild demigods. They will only take care of the Songhai people who accidentally fall into the astral plane, and the unlucky people of other races will not be able to contact them at all. β
"Hmm, is it so cold? Can you beat them? β
Murphy looked at His Royal Highness Khufu, who was still vomiting, and asked in his heart, and the Endless One snorted proudly and said:
"I still have Parom's Sunworm Eye and Hedes' Moonlight Carapace in my old lair, which is one of my favorite collections, but unfortunately it was all swept away by that damn woman of Liji, alas, I'm broke, Brother Murphy.
You have to learn from my painful experience, and you must sign a prenuptial property agreement or something before you marry Trisy in the future.
Oh, by the way, help my good brothers Tritan and Pad pick out a few good hunting bones, they'll be useful to hold, I'll forget it, I don't need them if I don't have a family. β
"Is it used to forge powerful weapons for the family?"
Murphy rubbed his chin and said:
"Can you help me get a copy of the production drawings of this high-end item from Tritan and Pad? My little players have also picked up a lot of Divine Bones, but I don't have a way to use them, after all, you can't just give materials for such a big thing, right?
That's too picky, the little players have really completed the great cause of killing gods. β
"Simple, I'm going to ask for it."
Mannes was so gentle and positive that he almost engraved in his mind the idea of "behaving well in front of Murphy to win the kindness of his good brother and finally tricking that godhead with rhetoric".
Murphy is also not good at the rare upward stance of the Endless One, although the godhead is a reason for Tracey to use as a last resort to defend against the invasion of the Mother of Midnight, but if there is another way to solve the trouble of the Mother of Midnight, then the artificial godhead that is saved is not impossible to give to Mannis.
Anyway, after Vam's persuasion, Murphy made up his mind that he wouldn't use it himself.
He and Mannes agreed on a plan to divide the spoils, and then looked back at the pre-dawn plain behind him.
The original mossy valley had been completely razed to the ground, all traces of the gnolls had been covered up and bulldozed, and the change of address here was only a faΓ§ade, Murphy bent down to take off his sword gloves and reached out to grab a handful of black soil on the ground.
He could feel the pure life force contained in the soil.
This is the legacy of the "God's Scepter" after the launch of the strike, and the explosion part of that thing uses weaponized genesis energy crystals, although the nature is biased towards purification and killing, but the genesis energy is the genesis energy, and the energy that the creator used to shape the blueprint of the world has a very vivid plasticity.
It completed a mini-genesis here and then changed the shape of the land from its roots, and the life force contained in the soil would extend in time until it turned the purified land into a fertile land for thousands of miles.
This means that the Jackals, freed from the shackles of the Lord of the Hunt, will have a fertile land to cultivate.
Although the area is not as exaggerated as the great plain of Kafhoka or the plain of Anjou, for the gnolls who are about to embark on a new stage of civilization, this is already considered the kindness of the creator, what more bicycle?
Murphy threw away the dirt in his hand and stood up, he looked at the black earth that stretched at the end of his eyes, and said that the creator is worthy of the creator, and even a destructive weapon can bring such a shocking new life.
In other words, he just lost a God Scepter on the side of the gray desert, and the land over there will be reshaped like here, but unfortunately it is too far away from the gathering place of the gnolls, even if Hogg has the intention to reclaim the wilderness, he can't send his command to occupy it, but it is very close to the gathering place of the shadow elves.
Therefore, this wave can be regarded as a gift from the Creator Chosen Lord to the followers of Lady Spider.
"Murphy-sama is here!"
Someone shouted at the players resting at the collapsing entrance of the Kingdom of God in the distance, and in the next moment, the whirring god killers gathered around, looking at their faction leader with a little expectant expression.
Murphy also looked at his little players with a look of pride and relief, like an old father looking at children who have finally grown up.
He vaguely remembered the embarrassment of these guys when they first arrived in Transnesia, and he was only a vampire at the time when he led them, like a beggar gang leader with a group of little flowers swaggering through the dilapidated Translancia.
But look at them now!
He has grown enough to participate in such a great cause as killing gods, and although 80% of the work is undertaken by himself and Lord Pa Ying, it cannot be denied that the growth of the players is enough to make Murphy feel proud.
They will still have the fatigue left after the battle, some of the guys' equipment has been blown off, and some people have blood-stained bandages around their heads, which is quite embarrassing, and those who can stand here are still lucky guys, and those unfortunate unlucky guys have hung up in the previous battle.
But what is surprising is that Boss Huo, the most vegetable among the godslayers, actually survived to the end, at the cost of only sixteen of his 36 silver mercenaries who died.
Lao Huo will be crying bitterly under the comfort of the closed moon, and he doesn't even need to count to know that the pension he needs to pay this time is enough to bring him to the brink of bankruptcy.
Victory is always a good thing, though.
"You have done great duty and triumphant, and you are worthy of the name of the heroic spirits of Transnesia! My warriors. β
Murphy emotionally stretched out his hand and patted the warriors on the shoulders, and with a proud expression he declared:
"While you are fighting here, the rest of your compatriots and the warriors of Transencia have lived up to your valor, defeating the evil demigod Silver Wolf and its pack in the battle of the Fortress of Cremu, saving the fallen God of the North Wind and protecting our defenses in the physical world!
I can proudly declare to you that the battle for Maginot has come to an end, and the end of the Black Plague is at hand!
And all of this is inseparable from your dedication. β
"! We slaughtered a god here, but they saved a god over there? β
The cars in the crowd screamed:
"How come there is a plot on both sides! And we missed the task of saving Lao Sutou and couldn't get a reward, a reward given by a god, I damn it, I don't dare to think how rich it is. β
This shouted a long sigh from a group of players, although they knew that the development team could not just give them the highlight moment, but the defense battle on the side of the Maginot Line and the Spring Festival event actually took saving the gods as the final stage, which was really a little difficult.
Murphy knew it was time for him to fulfill the "morality" of a qualified mainstory NPC.
He reached out and grasped the core orb on his chest, and in the next moment, the text that had already been edited reverberated and pulsed through each of the Godslayer's adventurous assistants.
γDing! Legendary Quest Chain: Descendant of the Biting Bone has been completed!
The Lord of the Hunt has fallen, and the greatest scourge between the Jackals and the Continent has been eliminated at this moment, and this is inseparable from the fearless battle of the heroic Godslayers!
Reward Settlement:
This battle was a success!
The base reward is: Artifact crafting blueprint x1 of your choice.
The occult knowledge from the Astral Plane can help players craft their own artifacts, but it requires players to obtain special materials and hunt for divine bones.
Players with a Divine Bone should go to the Crimson Keep to obtain the blueprint and craft it after the main story of the Dark Tide DLC is over.
Since no NPCs died in this battle, an improved bonus is added!
Improved rewards are: Generous rewards for the Godslayer.
Because of your contribution to great causes, all Godslayers will be able to earn a number of Hero Packs of their choice from the factions involved in this legendary quest chain, including rare treasures, weapons and armor from each faction.
Successfully complete the Legendary Quest Chain and help the Virtuous Wolf defeat the Gnoll Civilization in its way, and the special rewards are:
Hidden Glory Achievement [God?] Will it be able to resist my punch? γ
The Radiant Title "Godslayer of Translasia" grants Translancia a 20% discount on all business activities, gaining respect from others and triggering special quests in all order factions on the continent.
Creator Guardian Wolf X1 of the Godslayer's Mount: Virtuous Wolf.
The top five members of the Godslayer War Damage Ranking, Damage Absorption, Healing, and Assists are automatically inducted into the "Transasia Hall of Fame", which is effective immediately and does not occupy the thirty places in the fourth phase of the Hall of Fame. γ
"Hiss artifact? Is it so generous? β
The reward given by Murphy made the players look at each other, and Brother Meow touched the divine bone bag hanging from his waist in surprise, and he whispered to Teacher Li beside him:
"Can we really use artifacts at this stage? This thing sounds awesome. β
"Well, I guess this 'artifact' may not be the kind of artifact you imagined."
Mr. Li is a qualified people's teacher in the end, he analyzed it and guessed:
"After all, it is a weapon and protective gear made from the remains of gods, and it is not too much to call it an artifact, but it is still a bit suspenseful to expect that what we have made can be compared to those real divine weapons that have been circulating on the mainland for many years.
But one thing is for sure, these weapons are definitely limited collector's items, after all, the continent does not refresh the events of the invasion of the evil gods every day.
So overall, it's definitely worth it. β
"Well, that's enough."
Brother Meow was already satisfied with this.
He patted his butcher's tomahawk and said that he could finally say goodbye to the terrible situation of the Red Knight of Avalon who used the relics of other gods all day long, let alone get a big gift package from all the factions involved.
This is a pack of your choice!
There won't be another embarrassing scene of opening the box, right?
After the players were pacified, Murphy walked quickly over to Lord Pa Ying, who was resting on a rock, and before he could speak, the Lord handed him a mechanical box.
The vampire took it in his hand and opened it to look at it, and it contained several irregular special hedrons.
He had already guessed what this thing was, so he reached out and touched it, and the item identification immediately gave information:
Name: Purified Godhead Materialized Fragment
Attributes: No Attribute Divinity Items, Battle/Blessing Bias
Item Utility:
With a special crafting technique, it can be used to craft Shrines of Faith.
Prompt!
This item is of a high grade and requires a specific method for secondary processing, as it is purified by the genesis energy that allows it to re-embrace a belief and resonate with the symbol of the faith.
However, this is a one-time operation and cannot be changed once it is bound to a new faith.
Item Description:
γ
The Godhead is the core of the power that naturally condenses after the symbolic level reaches the supernatural level, and what it represents is the interpretation of the self-power of the gods in a certain field, generally speaking, the naturally born Godhead will dissipate with the fall of the gods, but considering that you are really useful in holding this thing, I have added a little "technology" to it, so that it can be maintained in a permanent materialized state.
You're welcome.
ββ
Love comes from [DATA EXPUNGED]
γ
"There are sixteen fragments in total."
The weary Lord whispered:
"I give you all the big pieces, and I will give the rest as a gift of victory to the heads of state to thank them for their support and help in this battle. I know you'll use it sensibly, and you don't have to worry about the dangers of leaking these things, and I'll reprocess them into harmless trinkets and send them away, so that the Lord of the Hunt won't be resurrected. β
"I'm naturally relieved that you do things."
Murphy put away the box in his hand, and he whispered:
"But you'd better return to Transia with me now, Sue is resting near Cadman City, and he may be able to reinvent his godhead after the flame of faith is lit in a few days, and he will return to subspace.
As the leader of the vampire faction, it makes sense that you should pay a visit. β
"All right, but you have to prepare a place for me to freshen up and change my clothes, and I can't just go to see a god."
The Lord propped himself up with the holy spear, and he also reached out and patted Murphy's shoulder with a gesture of relief, and said:
"You've done a good job this time, I know that without your secret assistance, we wouldn't have been able to complete this great matter so smoothly, and the entire continent owes you a favor, Murphy."
"Hmph, I didn't do this to get their gratitude."
Murphy snorted very arrogantly, making the lord shake his head helplessly, he looked left and right, and said softly:
"There's bad news I didn't dare tell anyone else, little Bach examined the remains, the Lord of the Hunt's body collapsed but his spirit ran away, and that was a problem that had to be resolved."
"I know, I know where he went, don't worry, lord, I'll finish this matter."
Murphy nodded solemnly.
This reliable gesture made the Millennium Venerable Lord's sigh again, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke:
"I'm going to reactivate the Holy Blood Seal after the Plague has subsided, and this time you must come with me, Murphy, I can only be the leader of the vampires for a special time, but I know there is something less reassuring about my personality, and I can't be the legendary Lord of the Midnight.
But.
You have that potential. β
"Your Excellency, you've scared me."
Murphy made a frightened gesture, waved his hand again and again, and said:
"I'm just a young vampire of twenty years old, with a stubborn personality, difficult to take on big responsibilities, and immersed in the pursuit of the opposite sex who is more than 400 years older than me, in short, I'm not modest, but you better find someone else for this job.
I think Paliano is good, a knight who pursues perfection, a spiritual nobleman among vampires, what a good leader. β
"If you don't want to, forget it, but you and I both know that fate will always lead you in that direction."
With a slight smile on his face, he said:
"There are a lot of things that we don't want to do, and if you don't take power, then the dangerous guys will be ready to move, and in my opinion, they will most likely not make bridging the conflicts between the clans a priority, and I've seen enough intrigue and attacks against each other, and I don't want to see vampires fall into the same desperate situation as gnolls after a thousand years."
"Isn't that still you?"
Murphy patted the ass and said:
"You have lived for more than 4,000 years, and you are still fierce, and today's killing of gods with your own hands proves that your courage is not diminished back then, and no matter how persistent you are, it is not a problem."
"You've been shifting the subject, forget it, I won't talk to you."
The Lord also lost interest, and while calling for Aurora to pick him up, he said to Murphy:
"The Pharaoh is about to have a birthday party, and the other forces of the continent will send emissaries at that time, and I will go there, but as Pharaoh's personal friend, the representative of the vampire side is you.
Prepare in advance.
You know, your fate with the Songhai Empire has just begun, this is a meeting that you can't escape, ah, today's day is really full of surprises, even for me is a little too exciting, then, please forgive me for retiring, Your Excellency the Creator Chosen Lord. β
