My players are so fierce

Chapter 323 322. Lord! I'm your big fan!

After a few minutes of communication, in Ms. Leonia's tent, a blood crystal stone engraved with runes was shining brightly on the wooden table.

It was an activated psychic device. It had a more powerful remote communication function than the Calculation Orb and had existed for a long time. It was said to be a very ancient psychic technique. Just by looking at it, you knew it was full of mysteries.

Murphy knew that Tris had a few of them, but he had never seen her use them and didn't know where those rune stones led to.

According to her, this is an item made by the elders of the Mystic Blood clan, which has the most profound mastery of psychic powers among the seven vampire clans. Its production method is too complicated even for a psychic master like Tris.

Therefore, it is rare and will only circulate in the hands of a few important people in the vampire family.

The biggest feature of this thing is that it is a "one-to-one" communication tool. Once it is produced, it will be permanently bound to the individual's psychic characteristics. In other words, just like a "private mobile phone", it will naturally have a "private number" "Leakage" risk.

"The Lord readily agreed to meet with you. The entire briefing and decision-making process went incredibly smoothly. To be honest, I can't understand it."

Leonia said to Murphy with a strange expression:

"What is the magic of those two words? What does it represent?"

"Of course I am willing to tell you, this means that you will be completely tied to the same dangerous carriage as us, but madam, are you sure you are ready to accept this secret?"

Murphy looked at the curious arch knight with his hands behind his back, and said in a dissuasive tone:

"No, this is not a burden that you, a scout knight, should bear, so my suggestion to you is, why not go to your nightly appointment with my loyal servant Maxim?

Those dangerous elements wandering in the hills of Under Armor must be cleared away. Important facilities in Transia are about to be built there. I am very much looking forward to seeing you return victorious. The Wolfsbane gladiators in Fight Club are exhausted a little fast, maybe It’s time for the Blood Rat Gang to replenish their inventory. "

At this point of Murphy's words, Leonia had roughly understood.

This "twilight" may refer to some secrets among the vampire leaders.

Although Murphy is in a state of decline now, he is indeed an important leader of the Blood Eagle Clan in name, so it makes sense that the Lord is willing to give him preferential treatment.

In a vampire society with clear hierarchy, learning about something dangerous often means taking on heavier responsibilities. From this perspective, Murphy's slightly arrogant advice at this time can be understood as a protective message. bona fide.

With this thought, the Arch Knight did not insist but withdrew from his camp, leaving room for conversation to Murphy and Lord Paying who was waiting somewhere on the mainland at this time.

When Murphy was the only one left in the tent, he adjusted his attire first, and then stepped forward to hold the suspended psychic device in his hands.

With the injection of spiritual energy, the blood crystal quickly rotated and projected a picture in front of Murphy's eyes, just like some kind of cool "holographic projection" equipment, weaving the opposite Lord Pa Ying with spiritual energy. Projected into the tent.

This is the first time that Murphy has truly met the legendary Lord Payin Vernon of Cappadocia, and the image shown by the latter is indeed consistent with Tris's introduction to Murphy.

He was not wearing armor, only a set of bloody robes covering his tall and tall body.

She has regular facial features, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and possesses the most traditional "neutral beauty" of the Vampire clan. Although she maintains a gloomy and indifferent demeanor with an expressionless face, the unfettered long black smooth hair shawl is indeed... The Lord adds a lot of "artistic" temperament.

I just don’t know where he learned his painting skills and what his level is? But with the sect leader's chic appearance and engaging temperament, he shouldn't be a failed art student from another world, right?

But when the Lord's eyes fell on Murphy, the vampire lord's random thoughts were immediately interrupted.

Even though there was a long distance, the golden man's scrutiny still crossed the space and fell on Murphy, making him feel a little pressure.

"Your psychic energy has a hint of the astral."

Lord Paying took the initiative and said:

"I heard Leonia's report that you have become an astral summoner. It is a very dangerous profession in the branch of psionic masters. Especially when you encounter some mysterious beings in the astral world, you must choose carefully. ways to communicate with them.

Tris may not be telling you about the potential pitfalls.

But my advice to you is to think carefully before branding yourself with the star realm of a mysterious existence, because that will directly determine the way and path you pursue power in the future.

However, the proud Palano has a very high opinion of you, so I believe that your initiative to contact me tonight is not just to waste my time.

Tell me, Murphy, what disturbing and ominous news did you find in Transia? "

"First of all, thank you for reminding me on the path of power, respected Lord Paying."

Murphy pretended to be asking for advice humbly and kept the Lord's reminder in mind.

He did not waste time on small talk afterwards. He recounted to Lord Paying what happened in the filthy swamp and the ruins of Xiko City with a brief but comprehensive description. It could be seen from the Lord's frown that he The information provided was indeed something that Lord Paying had not learned before.

Especially when he heard that the victims of Xiko City had been cast into a dangerous death army and were still controlled by Dusk, Lord Paying's expression became obviously angry.

I just don’t know if this anger stems from his being unable to bear this kind of atrocity, or because this terrible thing is an outright disaster for the Black Disaster’s defense system?

"The information you have provided is valuable, but I ask that you do not act recklessly."

After thinking for a few seconds, Lord Paying said to Murphy:

"I will send a team under my command that specializes in handling these matters to Transia to help you track the traces of dusk. Before that, you should pretend that you have never known these things and continue to complete your construction and army in Transia. training.”

"You mean you're going to take over this?"

Murphy glanced at Lord Pa Ying, shook his head and said:

"No, this is not the result I want. Lord, please understand that this matter has involved the current Grand Duke of the Blood Eagle Clan. Although there is not enough evidence, I can be sure that Tris is involved in a series of plans at dusk. Playing such an important role, I couldn't bring myself to sit back and watch.

Perhaps in your opinion, I am just a weak little lord, but I do not lack courage and cannot tolerate a group of doomsdayers running amok in my territory.

It's my job to eradicate them. "

The Lord did not respond.

He just stared at Murphy with a scrutinizing gaze. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke:

"So you already have some plans? Tell me about it, just to provide me with another idea."

"My idea is simple, since they are a threat they must be dealt with before they cause damage."

Murphy said frankly:

"The gnoll warlocks in the Filthy Swamp control the corpse witches and the dead through the Scepter of Command. Tris is already deciphering the mystery of the Scepter of Command, and I am just preparing to send my warriors into the Filthy Swamp to open up Transia and Contact with the Barren Mountain Defense Line.

If we can extend our frontline positions to the area where the Blood Alliance Knights are located before the Black Disaster breaks out, it means that we can put the battlefield in the Dark Mountains instead of fighting a dangerous battle on the land of Transia. Defensive warfare.

Judging from my superficial understanding of war, in a confrontation between a spear and a shield, the shield will always suffer. Therefore, I would rather be the one who takes the initiative to attack!

So if there must be a war, then I hope it will be fought on the enemy's territory.

I am confident that I can complete this matter in the next four months or so, but my current energy and resources are only enough to operate in the Filth Swamp.

Xiko City is an out-and-out big trouble. It’s like a barrel of explosives used by halfling engineers and dwarf miners. I don’t know when it will explode and wipe out all my efforts. Therefore, you and I are needed there. The powerful power of the blood alliance clan to appease or solve.

But Tris provided me with a very subtle idea.

She told me before that only the Moon Priests of the Songhai Empire could do such a large-scale mobilization of death spiritual energy and the mysterious ability to summon the breath of Hades on the entire continent.

So I have reason to think that all the bad things happening in Transia are related to the followers of death far away from the place of origin.

The source of all this dangerous knowledge lies with them!

In this case, they should also bear some responsibility for this.

I hope to solve the problem from the source, so I am asking for your help tonight. I want to use your connections and prestige to ask the Moon Priests to set out from their Holy City of Death and arrive in Transia to deal with this mess before the Black Disaster breaks out!

Since they are experts, they can and should always provide us with more means at our disposal.

Maybe it can turn bad things into good things. "

"Um?"

The Lord's eyes narrowed.

He asked Murphy what he meant with his eyes, and the vampire lord whispered:

"I mean, if the enemy can harness the power of the dead, why can't we? Transia lacks everything but corpses.

No matter how reborn the Jackals are, they will definitely be at a disadvantage in a war of attrition when facing the emotionless army of the undead. The Sea of ​​the Undead tactic is an extremely terrifying strategy for any life.

You see, the method to break the black disaster has always been in the hands of the Moon Priests, but they don't seem to intend to use their knowledge and wisdom rationally.

I don't know what they think.

But now that their valuable knowledge has been leaked to the Gnolls, they should be held accountable. "

"Well, I understand your thinking. Your idea is very bold, but you might as well try something."

Lord Paying rubbed his chin and said:

"I will think about it.

If I make a decision, I will notify you as soon as possible, but for now, do not provoke the dead in the ruins of Xiko City until you get external assistance.

As for your plans for the Foul Swamp, I won't comment.

I think you underestimate the power of that filthy land, but if you are willing to try that is a good thing. After all, in the previous 400 years, the rulers of Transia never wanted to expand their territory to the Black Mountains. area.

If you can do it, then I will look at you differently.

Palano was right about you, Murphy.

You are indeed a unique Midnight Walker, and I have seen your uniqueness and potential. I will give you a reply within three days.

You can take this blood crystal with you, and I will give you the right to contact me at any time.

But I don't want you to abuse this power.

At least don't report trivial things to me that you can solve yourself. My time is precious. "

"I know."

Murphy responded:

"Based on tonight's situation, I won't bother you with anything less threatening."

"Very good, very smart."

The Lord waved his hand.

That gesture obviously means "I want to sleep peacefully, all the ministers kneel down in peace".

Murphy was also very sensible and did not continue to bother him. Instead, he withdrew his spiritual energy to interrupt the communication of the blood crystal. He grabbed the small gadget that stopped rotating in his hand, played with it, and tilted his head to think:

“It is said that Lord Paying is too serious and has no sense of humor, but I think it’s actually pretty good. Apart from always having a gloomy face, Lord Paying’s particularly tasteful modeling will definitely satisfy young players.

But why does the background of his projection feel so strange? As if in some secret room full of religious worship style?

So where is Lord Paying now?

Ah, now is not the time to think about this! "

Murphy threw the blood crystal stone into his bag, walked out of Ms. Lenia's tent, and looked at the astral creation with purple light above his head, thinking in his mind.

The threat to Xiko City has been confirmed, so the next step is to immediately launch a search and containment of the refugees there.

The stubborn mountain people will most likely not leave their mountains and forests, but those people wandering in the West Corridor must be immediately transferred to the Earl of Cadman to keep them away from the dangers that may break out in West Corridor and to keep them away. Can join in the rebuilding process of Crimson Keep.

This is a win-win situation.

Considering that my little players have been idle for almost a week since the end of the Jackal Hunt, how can they be so tired?

Therefore, we must find something else to do for them. Let them carry bricks and lay ashes. It is obviously impossible to cultivate the land, but let them do such small things as searching for refugees.

Should we also create a points pool this time? ——

"Snapped"

The blood crystal that stopped running was placed on the stone table covered with traces of time by Lord Pa Ying.

The uncrowned king of vampires stared calmly at the guy sitting opposite him, who was wrapped in gray and white cloth and wearing a moon priest robe.

He said in a deep voice:

"You heard it, this is a report from the front line in Transia! Priest Bayek, can you still insist that the knowledge of death in your Holy City of the Moon has not been leaked?"

Facing Lord Paying's question, the Moon Priest in front of him remained silent.

Of course, he couldn't speak if he wanted to. The cloth wrapped in a mummy-like posture, even the eyes were wrapped, made people doubt this guy's physical and mental state at this time.

Therefore, he used the vibration of spiritual energy as his answer, and this answer also made Lord Paying who came to "raise the army to question the crime" very satisfied.

The vampire artist suddenly stood up and said to the "mummy" in front of him:

"Very good, as you said, an elite Moon Priest investigation team must set off within seven days, first to the Blood Alliance Knights' defense line in Barren Mountain, and then set off from there to Transia.

The army of the dead beneath the ruins of Xiko City is your responsibility.

You must deal with the black disaster before it breaks out!

Or follow little Murphy's wild ideas and turn the awakened dead into forces that can be used by us. "

"well"

A long sigh with a rotten atmosphere sounded from under the unique attire of Priest Bayek. He nodded and watched Lord Paying leave the Death Moon Chamber.

As an orthodox moon priest, Lord Bayek actually doesn't care much about the black disaster, because it means a lot of death, and in his view, death is a blessing and is related to the balance of all things.

He tapped lightly on the stone table.

Soon, a Songhai girl wearing the same style of sacrificial robe quickly walked into the secret room and bent down in front of the priest with the etiquette of a disciple to wait for instructions.

The cold spiritual energy fluctuated again, causing the Songhai girl in front of her to raise her head in surprise. She exclaimed:

"Leave the Holy City and head to the mainland?

No, mentor, I am trying to complete my report. The improved experimental technique for safely summoning the three-headed dog of Hades has reached the final step.

That’s my graduation topic! "

"boom"

The mummy's fingers hit the stone table a little harder.

This meant that this order could not be violated, and the girl's helpless screams could only go away in depression.

She was one of the most outstanding disciples of Priest Bayek. Her talents in death rituals and knowledge of the underworld were rare in a century, so she was sent to solve the trouble in Xiko City.

By the way, let’s investigate how the secret of the Death Moon was leaked into the hands of a group of doomsdayers?

Could it be that the shadow of dusk has quietly descended on the thousands of miles of yellow sand of the Songhai Empire under the guardianship of the blazing sun of glory and the bright moon of death?

Alas, this is an unimaginable mess.
