960. Peacemaker Master Su: How about everyone give the old man a thin noodle?
It was the wee hours of the morning when Murphy returned to the Maginot Line.
He was as careful as a wild man out there doing bad things, not intending to let Tracey know what he had done in the last few hours.
Fortunately, Triss was still tossing the Yunlan Illusion on the Plains of Creation, and she couldn't spare time to pay attention to Murphy's behavior for a while, which made the tired vampire lord breathe a sigh of relief, but just as he changed his clothes and left the command room, he saw Adele with a complicated expression.
"Me"
"I know it all, master."
Adele touched her left hand.
Murphy noticed that Sister E had an extra shadow spider tattoo on the back of her hand, and then heard Adele say:
"Lady Rose has blessed me with the ability to comprehend and learn from the Shadow Elves without barriers. But when she sent down her blessing, she deliberately let me see the scene in the Abyss God Kingdom.
You've done a great job
I'll keep this matter a secret for you.
I know it's not your fault, you can't resist the wrath of a god"
"Alas, it's all tears when you talk too much."
Faced with Sister E's empathy and concerned eyes, Murphy almost cried.
He really didn't expect Lady Rose to be so unsophisticated, but considering that under his temptation, Rose did give up weaving the web of fate and staked her future in the realm of power described by Murphy, so this time it should theoretically be called "to each according to his needs".
"But what are you going to do with Velanther?"
Adele followed Murphy as she walked out, and she whispered:
"Lady Spider has ignited the flame and ascended to become a god of her own right, she can no longer hide in the body of Velantor as before, and the Spider Lady has awakened without remembering anything, and still regards herself as your most loyal heir.
I suspect she's pretending!
After all, as a human body of Spider Lady, she is not at all impressed.
Perhaps what she said at this time was exactly what Lady Spider meant, and having Veranther by your side meant her alliance with you. β
"Let her go."
Murphy rubbed his neck and said:
"Willantor is hell-bent on rebuilding the Mejevar family, and she's very popular among players and has been pushing for this, which in itself can be used as a race thread as the number of elven players grows.
What's more, Rose told me that your fate has also been linked to the racial changes of the shadow elves, which is your responsibility and future that you can't escape.
With Verancer's help, you'll have a little easier when faced with choices in the future.
Where has she gone now? β
"She took the shrine to Princess Chuchut, a pact you made with Kulkan to tell Quetzalcoatl some of the secrets of Lady Spider to help him isolate and purify his contamination."
Adele Says:
"However, Lady Spider has been able to make peace with Avalon because of the nature gods themselves, and I reckon that even if Lord Kulkan knew this, he would not be able to use it to alleviate the troubles she faced.
In the end, it has to fall on you.
If you can help Lady Spider set Lady free and keep the gods of nature pure, then Master Kurkan can too."
"Wait, she's talking to me."
Murphy made a pause gesture, and then heard the excited voice of Kurkan's iconic big sister ring in her ears, and she shouted:
"Awesome, Murphy! You've given our artificial godhead a notch?
Now the purifying power of this thing is even more powerful, the part of me that was polluted has been suppressed, there is no sign of deterioration for the time being, and now I only need Ao's help to get out of my bad fate.
Chuchut also told me the mystery of the Spider Lady's split, which was of little use, but at least allowed me to look at the filth in a more rational way.
Next, I have to rely on you, come on to help get Ao, and when I complete the purification, I will definitely give you a big benefit! β
"I thank you for your generosity, but I am now weak-legged when I hear the word 'benefit'."
Murphy complained:
"You'd better talk about the real benefits than the weird stuff, but the situation over there isn't going to be easy, and you might have to wait a little longer."
"It's okay, I'll wait."
Kurkan replied with a big grin:
"This new program is amazing!
I just used it to burn the subspace demons that blocked the gates of my kingdom, and it was all thanks to you, and since you are so magnificent, I can't be wrong, and I have told Chuchute to set up the Quetzalcoatl Altar and the Pyramid Temple in Transasia.
I want to formalize the legacy of the Sun Fighter to your people and allow them to harness the true meaning of the Sunfire.
But don't mess with my teachings, just let Chuchut take charge of the mission.
I'm really afraid that you will give me a whole job and make me a four-like. β
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Kurkan."
Murphy was pleased with the result, saying:
"In the future, when we are fortunate enough to set foot in the New World, I will definitely personally go to your temple to pay tribute, I need to go to deal with some government affairs now, please forgive me for retiring."
"Go, go, I'm going to go outside for a walk, so that the subspace cults who have been pressing us down lately can taste the supreme power of this omega! The sun is really out of the sheath, and the heart moves at will, ha, burn them! β
In that wild shout, Murphy seemed to see the glorious scene of the sun's fire sweeping across the subspace battlefield, and the mighty Quetzalcoatl in the scorching sun was much more powerful than Varm's embarrassment.
It deserves to be the best of the new gods.
However, Murphy said that he was not looking for an excuse to deal with government affairs, and he took Adele out of the Maginot Line and flew to Cadman City's location at this time, and when they arrived, the Scarlet Archon Miriam, who had been sitting in the rear, was already waiting there.
Dressed in a formal uniform, Miriam sat in her carriage sorting out the minutes of the meeting, and when she saw Murphy arrive, she got out of the car to greet her with a tired face, and the first thing she said was:
"It's not easy, the negotiations have broken down, and the wolf girl doesn't plan to talk to us about it at all."
"Huh?"
Murphy's brow furrowed.
He glanced farther away, where there was a rather luxurious blue-gold carriage, with as many as nine white horses in tow, surrounded by heavily armed Winter Wolf Juggernauts and Borean Guards, as well as the flag of Nordtov and the Romanov family.
AndrΓ© stood in the crowd and waved to Murphy, dressed in Nordtoff's traditional costume and with the elaborate and extravagant earl decorations, which represented the presence of a great man in the night.
And the old Su Tou, who had been resting on this ice field for the past few days, also rarely moved his position, and even talked to a mortal on the edge of a cliff in the ruins of the Kerim Fortress.
The wolf girl herself is here!
It seems that this is a "micro-service private visit", but the low-key for a queen is too high-profile.
"I had a twenty-minute conversation with the Wolf Maiden before she met with the God of the North Wind, and as you meant before, I informed her of Transnesia's claim to the Kakhovka region, and emphasized that the matter could be accomplished through the exchange of interests to complete the territorial recovery.
But the young queen was very resolute. β
Miriam rubbed her eyebrows and said:
"She rejected the offer and said that Nordtov would not give up any territory."
"Is it so hard?"
Murphy Says:
"With Cadman City holding on to the southeast corner of Kafhawka, is she really ready to pay for a war? No, General Baldwin should have persuaded her in this matter, and the rumored wolf girl is not a monarch who does not know how to take advice.
Being so decisive and even reckless doesn't quite look like her style. β
"I also think this matter is strange inside and out, and I am pondering and analyzing, I always feel that there is some deep meaning hidden in the wolf girl's overly resolute attitude, but it is difficult to understand what she wants to express for a while."
Miriam glanced in the direction of the wolf girl, and she said with a hint of envy:
"But the aura of this Nord queen is really strong, like a solid piece of 10,000-year-old ice that will not be knocked down by any difficulties, and it is difficult for me to even make a firm stance when talking to her, and I always unconsciously substitute myself as her courtier.
This is probably the temperament of the legendary 'born to be king'. β
"Well, then let me see the majesty of this queen of the North Yankees."
Murphy tidied up his appearance and Adele put on the lord's cloak and red governor's ribbon for him, and Miriam also presented her lord with a scepter, which was still sent to Transcia from the Ice Palace before, representing the wolf maiden's seal of canonization of the governor.
Nominally, Murphy was really a courtier of Her Majesty Angelina, after all, the canonized document was still in the administrative building.
"I think you may be fooled by Her Majesty the Wolf Lady tonight, after all, you have always favored independent women."
Miriam joked:
"Maybe from tonight, in addition to Grand Duke Trisi and Grand Duke Shanny, there will be another enemy with a headache."
"Xia Ni and I are innocent, don't gossip, it's not good to be heard."
Murphy scolded with a straight face, and then said in a long voice:
"As for the majesty of the wolf girl, it may have been shocking in the past, but tonight it is absolutely impossible, after all, I just conquered a god, and now I have a pure heart."
"Huh?"
Miriam was stupid.
She thought Murphy was joking.
As a result, Adele nodded regretfully, giving the Scarlet Archon a more direct and profound understanding of the charm of his lord.
Did Murphy really sleep a god?
Blanch, this is outrageous!
But Mr. Murphy, is it really good for you to say this kind of thing in public?
Aren't you afraid of Grand Duke Tracey? Wait, why is Master Murphy telling himself about this? Was this a test to see if he would secretly tell Lady Triss the news? Is this a hellish loyalty test?
Miriam, who likes to think a lot when she became an archon, began to diverge her thinking, and Murphy glanced at her and felt that this innocent girl really couldn't be wanted now, why was her mind full of heart.
I just said it so casually, it was a complaint between friends.
He shook his head and turned to the side of the wolf girl and the old Su Tou, the Winter Wolf Sword Saints did not stop the Governor of Translancia from seeing him, and the Earl of White Mountain personally stepped forward to act as a guide for Murphy.
"What the hell is going on?"
Murphy, with a serious face, asked with onomatopoeia skills:
"Why is your sister so resolute?"
"I don't know, but I've heard that this is actually what Grand Duke Xia Ni meant."
AndrΓ© kept smiling and replied with onomatopoeia:
"Archduke Shani believes that showing weakness in such matters will weaken my sister's royal power, and therefore advocates being tough on Transasia, hoping to strengthen her sister's majesty through the victory of the Winter Wolf Legion in the Black Plague, and at the same time use this toughness to suppress the effects of the events in the Crimean Fortress.
I did, but."
"Hmm, I see."
Murphy understood this, and he said:
"Look, I just said, the conflict between your sister and Xia Ni will break out one day, Xia Ni is too strong, she thinks that your sister has arranged a national policy in the name of good, I don't think a wise monarch would allow this kind of thing to happen.
Andrey, you may have to make a decision soon. β
Andrei did not answer.
But the gloom and confusion in his eyes could not be concealed, and he did not stop until Murphy reached the top of the cliff.
In front of Murphy, Sue lay in the cold wind of the early morning and looked at the wolf girl beside her with a kind gaze, who reported to Su the current situation of the wolf country and her future vision in a light but powerful voice as if she were meeting an elder.
Murphy took a few steps closer and heard the wolf girl whisper:
"I followed your advice and chose a suitable time to visit the Dragon Emperor's realm, and it turned out that the monarch was more than ten times more skilled in governing the kingdom than I was, and he taught me a lot of lessons that would last me a lifetime, and made me realize that being gentle alone could not really solve the problem.
The Dragon Emperor also promised to promote trade and political exchanges between the two countries at an appropriate time.
This made me deeply aware that Nordutov's future does not lie in the continental hegemony with the Plantagenet Kingdom in the west.
The idea of this war game is wrong, and the future of the kingdom lies in the east.
With the opening of the market in the ancient kingdom of Callum, my people will be able to get more opportunities, and my country will be freed from the problem of poverty and weakness, and the reform of the national system and military level will not have to rely on the curtain of the halfling, and the various technologies I have seen in Tiandu are not inferior to the accumulation of the halfling. β
This passage is the future described by the wolf girl to Sue, but it makes Murphy stop.
With a strange gaze, he looked at the young queen who had her back to him, wearing a red royal robe, a winter crown, and a frozen sword at her waist.
He knew that this was not just for Sue.
This is also addressed to him!
As the "Shadow of the King", Shani wants the Wolf Maiden to remain tough on the territorial issue, and the Wolf Maiden does so, decisively rejecting the Scarlet Archon's claim to the Kafhoka region, but she makes it clear in Murphy's eyes that the future of the kingdom lies in the East.
Well, that's probably where she and Shani disagree.
Murphy's mind spun at high speed, and after a few seconds he came to the conclusion that Kafhoka's affair with the werewolf girl was promising, provided that the factor of Shani did not continue to interfere.
Thinking of the wolf girl just now saying that she learned a lot of statecraft from the Dragon Emperor, the implicit meaning is very obvious, Queen Angelina is going to do something to Grand Duke Xia Ni, who single-handedly raised herself to the throne!
She didn't come here to simply meet the god of the north wind.
The young queen is here to ask for help and permission! She needs to use the power of the Church of the Winter Wolves to complete her true control of Nordutov
Xia Ni, Xia Ni, your identity as the "shadow of the king" is estimated to not last long.
"Salute to you, Her Majesty."
Murphy stepped forward and saluted the Wolf Maiden with the Doge's Scepter, interrupting the conversation between the Wolf Maiden and the God of the North Wind, who turned around and looked at Murphy with that cold gaze.
This is the first time the two have met.
Murphy raised his head and looked at the queen in front of him in a posture that did not quite fit the status of a courtier.
He was disappointed to find that the wolf girl's face was not very delicate, it still belonged to the category of beauty, and her facial features were more heroic than charming, and with her blue eyes that were as eternal as glaciers, there was indeed an impressive demeanor.
It must be a lot of pressure to be her courtier.
This queen belongs to the type that can feel pressure even if she just stands in front of her, no wonder Andre can be cultivated like that, he was brought up by such an older sister since he was a child, and his lack of collapse already shows that he is mentally firm, and he is used to the powerful aura of the wolf girl, and he has no interest in other women, which is also the result that should be.
"Murphy, if you are as handsome as rumored."
Her Majesty Angelina applauded:
"It is even more rare that there is a heroic heart that is not inferior to the pioneers under this excellent appearance, and I salute your great victory, and thank you for taking care of my brother during this time.
He really grew up.
It's not just trying to look mature, it's transforming into a mature man, which is something I've always wanted to do but haven't been able to.
But it's a pity that even if you have brought me so many surprises, I, as a monarch, should respond, but I will not negotiate with you on the issue of Kafhoka's ownership!
There is no custom in the old tradition of Nordtov for others to cede land, and I, as the queen of the Nords, must be a role model for the people. β
"That's not to talk about!"
Murphy was not polite either, saying:
"Everything follows ancient traditions, and it's no wonder that the Nords are in the predicament of the clay-footed giants they are now.
Kafhoka was originally the land of Translasia! It was only taken by you by cunning, and my claim was only an attempt to solve the problem by political means, but the Transancians have another way of doing things.
We will eventually take this land back and create a new future!
Those stupid traditions that only make us weak are not worth nostalgia for! β
"Future."
The wolf girl savored the word.
There was a strange light in her slightly indifferent eyes, and she looked at Murphy, who was sure that Murphy understood what she was saying, so she replied in a sonorous tone:
"Come on, then!
I will place the most warlike generals and the toughest legions in Kafhoka, and let us decide to whom this land belongs in a war.
You are a vampire with status, and my Aunt Xia Ni is also a vampire with status, and you will eventually meet on the battlefield, and this is not just a territorial battle.
Are you really ready? Murphy of the Vulture Clan. β
"Shani is my friend."
Murphy Says:
"But if she provokes Transia on such a matter of principle, then I will also give her a resolute response, as you say, this is not a simple territorial dispute!"
A cold wind blew, making Su's hair blow in the wind, and Old Su Tou looked at the two rulers in front of him with a helpless look.
Do you really think I don't understand your nonsense?
I said you guys are really enough!
I, the God of the North Wind, am not here to discuss this conspiracy with you.
With a whimper of displeasure, Murphy and the Wolf Maiden stopped their antagonistic glares at the same time.
At this point, the message has been reached, and the next thing is to wait for time to slowly ferment.
Murphy had to admit that Miriam's judgment of the wolf girl was right, and the young queen did have a unique demeanor.
The decisiveness and resoluteness of his actions is really impressive.
