My players are so fierce

Chapter 37 37. Desire to go home

After three days and two nights of fast travel, Murphy's convoy finally approached Cadman City again. At their current speed, they could arrive in half an hour.

The outline of the great city, built among the hills and on the plain not far from the river, was clearly visible.

In the past two days, young players have become accustomed to logging in freely and arranging game time reasonably. They will leave a "sentinel" online. Once they arrive at the village or when the convoy stops for a rest, others will come online to avoid losing precious games. Time is wasted on boring trips.

The behavior of the players when they log off is also very strange.

Murphy went to see them specially. They were laid out like corpses on the two large carts reserved for them at the back, just like people sleeping. Occasionally they would snore or turn over, simulating sleep. Lifelike.

This proves that these guys can maintain entities in this world for a long time after the player free access function is enabled.

Although he still doesn't understand how this function works, Murphy guesses that these "entity projections" can automatically absorb the stray spiritual energy in the world to maintain their existence.

Miss Femis's Psychic Notes explained these in detail in the analysis of summoning. Although it cannot be directly applied to special summons such as players, Murphy guessed that the general principles should be common.

"You have been with my warriors for two days. How do they feel to you?"

Today was a cloudy day without any annoying sun, so Murphy sat in the moving car with his hood wrapped around his hood, chatting with Maxim who was driving the car.

After hearing Murphy's question, Maxim immediately said with a straight face:

"Not so much, Lord Murphy. I admit that your warriors are very energetic, as if they never feel tired, but they are too annoying and crazy.

They even followed me to the toilet yesterday, as if they wanted to make sure that I would also defecate.

And no matter when, as soon as I have some free time, those guys will surround me and ask me some weird questions using that damn calculation orb.

They seemed particularly interested in my personal life and my gray hair, which really turned me off.

I had to use the method you taught me and ask them to run errands for me, and then I managed to get some peace and quiet. "

"That's how they are, full of curiosity but not cautious."

Murphy sighed helplessly and said:

"Even though I repeatedly told her not to disturb the eldest lady, there were still a few people who were not afraid of death and ran to tease Femis last night. As a result, the eldest lady used psychic restraints to hang her in the air for half an hour.

But you also have to admit that they are very talented at running errands, right?

They can always use all kinds of crazy methods to find what they want as quickly as possible.

How are they progressing in learning swordsmanship from you? "

When this issue was mentioned, Maxim, who was still looking unhappy, suddenly sighed.

He said somewhat melancholy:

"Sir, when I first learned the blood vulture swordsmanship, it took me half a month to get started, and it took me three years of practice to become proficient in various weapon techniques. However, your warriors only studied with me for two days and had no attitude at all. serious.

But they have all mastered the key points of blood vulture swordsmanship.

Last night I saw them using immature but already decent swordsmanship to fight off a few jackal bandits who were lured closer by food. Compared with their learning ability, I felt like an imbecile idiot.

Are all people from other worlds as smart as them? "

"No, they must have idiots over there. Fortunately, we don't need idiots."

Murphy replied casually.

The fact that young players learn skills quickly is definitely not because they are all martial arts geniuses, but purely because they have 1.5 times the super growth and learning ability.

This should be an adjustment made when the test administrator system pinches the player template. Otherwise, if it takes several months to learn a swordsmanship like Maxim's, the gameplay aspect will basically be blown away.

The realism and hardcore that players expect does not conflict with the convenience and laziness they want. How to fine-tune the balance between the two is the core of whether a game can be attractive.

If this world is really a game.

"I just learned a new sword skill."

Murphy stood up and patted Maxim on the shoulder and said:

"We'll practice some practice when we get back to Cadman City. There's still half an hour left, so don't rest! Speed ​​up and get back as soon as possible. I've had enough of sleeping in the wild."

"Yes, sir, I am also looking forward to returning to the city."

Maxim smiled and waved his riding crop to speed up the car again.

Murphy walked on the top of the carriage with a relaxed posture, and then landed on the top of Miriam's carriage after a light jump.

The red-haired girl has also been annoyed by the "enthusiastic" young players looking for hidden trigger tasks for the past two days, and she is enjoying her rare leisure time.

When Murphy fell, she suddenly asked:

"Murphy, can I hire your warriors to escort me to Port Chardeau?

They were really enthusiastic, like no matter what I asked them to do they would do it with energy. I like them better than those sullen mercenaries.

Simple and active, enthusiastic and kind. "

"Their evil would frighten you, Miriam, and not now."

Murphy responded:

“My warriors haven’t fully adapted to this place yet, they are too weak, but in the future they may be able to become your personal bodyguards, as long as you can afford the price.

By the way, Miriam, don’t publicize their true identity when you return to the city, just say that they are from Morland Village. "

"I know."

The red-haired girl waved her hand and said:

"Your summoning technique is a secret skill at first glance. Don't worry, I won't talk about it with a big mouth. Besides, compared to Morland Village, it is obviously more appropriate to say that they are mountain people from the northern region.

No one would doubt the strange things the mountain people do, and the language of the mountain people is inherently obscure.

A perfect match for your warriors. "

"Thanks, I'll consider it."

Murphy opened the door and jumped into the carriage.

He reached out and knocked on the black coffin board in the car. After a moment, the coffin board slid outward, revealing the unhappy face of Miss Femis.

She rubbed her forehead and said:

"It's daytime! Murphy.

I can understand that you are a different kind of alien, just like the legendary 'sunwalker' looking forward to contact with the dangerous sunlight, but I am an orthodox child of the night, and I don't like to be awakened at this time. "

"Today is cloudy, miss. Without the sun you hate, maybe you should try to appreciate the world outside the night. But I came here to ask you a professional question about summoning and psychic powers.

Considering that we will return to Cadman City soon, as a marginalized person like you, it may not be that easy for me, a marginalized person, to ask you for advice.

So please forgive me for being reckless. "

Murphy apologized frankly. The helpless eldest lady waved her hand and said angrily:

"As long as you take care of your group of rude servants, I will be grateful. Every time they look at me like a rare animal, I am very dissatisfied. They will also call me weird names, what... loli." Although I don’t know what it means, the light in their eyes makes me want to strangle their necks.”

"That's a sign that they like you, Miss. You may not know it, but your popularity among them is really high."

Murphy smiled and looked at the "vampire rich loli dark lady" in front of him who was mentioned repeatedly on the forum. He coughed and asked seriously:

"While reading your code, I found that it contained techniques for summoning an alien creature like the 'Death Crow' as a means of detection. I tried to have it transport things, but every time my summon died, it would disappear instantly. , causing everything I asked to be delivered to disappear midway.

Therefore, I am curious about whether there is any technique that can make the summoned object leave some traces in the material world after death.

Like a corpse that can exist for a short period of time."

"You're struggling so much just to get the crow to deliver something to you?"

The eldest lady looked at Murphy with a subtle look, and the latter nodded, and then she said quietly with an "I believe you are a ghost" expression:

"Don't be so nervous, I won't delve into your little secrets, and your problems can be easily solved.

Ever heard of the ‘Trickster’?

Those who practice sorcery like to summon evil spirits from other worlds to possess their enemies, slowly eating away at their spirit and flesh, and eventually allowing evil spirits from other worlds to completely replace their enemies.

The secret of the long-lasting existence of the magicians' summons is that they can make "disaster cores", which can help the evil spirits from other worlds to better stabilize the physical projection.

Follow their lead and create a core for your summons so that when they cease to move, the psychic energy that makes up their physical form is not immediately dissipated.

In your words, it leaves a 'body' behind, but it can only last for a day at most. "

Miffy's answer made Murphy suddenly enlightened, and he asked:

“Is there any demand for such core production?”

"No."

The eldest lady yawned again, her "seeing off guests" expression became more obvious, and she said:

"As long as it is a psychically sensitive material, it is not difficult to make. If you really want to learn, I will write a letter and send you the production method when I return to Cadman City."

"Then I'll express my thanks in advance."

Murphy got what he wanted. He stood up and took another look at the coffin placed next to him and said:

"Mrs. Adele will awaken as a vampire tonight. I want to take her to meet my elder Tris, but don't worry, eldest lady, if she is willing to return to you, I will not stop her.

Think of it as a job secondment.

I temporarily 'lease' my heirs to you.

You only need to pay a nominal employment fee, and if you need it, I can even sign a formal 'labor dispatch' contract with you. "

"That's not necessary, Murphy."

The eldest lady lay back in her coffin. She closed the coffin boards and said:

“Adele is already your heir, and although I am reluctant to part with her, as the daughter of the clan leader of the Blood Eagle Clan, I am not yet in such a state of poverty that I need to steal my compatriot’s heir.

She will follow you!

Whether she wants it or not, that's the family rule. "

The carriage fell silent again.

Murphy stood in silence in front of the two sets of coffins.

After these two days of contact, he had a deeper understanding of Femis's character.

This eldest lady is simply the human incarnation of family rules. All her actions are based on the ancient dogma of the Blood Vulture family. She can accept everything that is within the rules, even if there are real pitfalls in it.

Murphy could finally understand why the eldest lady seemed indifferent to the sacrifices of the sixty Midnight Hunters.

Because in her opinion, this is a necessary dedication to the family, and it is also a kind of observance and tribute to dogma and rules.

She won't even consider Murphy's disgraceful role in the affair.

Because Murphy brought a valuable victory to the family.

This was enough for her to ignore the irrationalities.

It was pleasant to deal with such a principled person. At least Murphy no longer resisted the eldest lady as before. He even felt that it would be good if he could work under the eldest lady.

After all, as long as she plays by the rules, this young lady is still easy to talk to.

And in her world view, there seems to be no awareness of "playing tricks", that is, taking advantage of loopholes in the rules, which is acceptable behavior for a young lady.

Therefore, if Femis' line can be opened up, the situation of himself and Tris in the Blood Vulture Clan may be greatly improved.

Murphy got out of the carriage and looked towards Cadman City.

He could vaguely see the outline of the city under the clouds, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It has been eight days since I left home, one day later than I promised.

She will definitely be nagged by Tris again when she goes back now. I hope that useless person didn't starve to death while she was away.

But thinking about it, with Tris's character who occasionally goes offline and is very unreliable in most situations, she can probably get along happily with her little players, right? ——

"The positioning coordinates are clear, the target direction is clear, and the communication channel is smooth! Plan D has entered the first phase!"

Following the sonorous report, in the command hall of the pioneer fortress in the East Prussia region, the psionicist in front of General Loren, who was dressed in military uniform, began to cast spells, and the light spots of the psionic calculation orb beat as he cast spells on his chest. , a reconnaissance spell overlooking the ground from a high altitude was activated and reflected in front of the general and commanders like a mirror.

The reconnaissance spell reflected a high-altitude image of Cadman City, the capital of the Transia region nearly 300 kilometers away, and the base camp of the Blood Vulture Clan.

The psionic master continued to fine-tune the position so that the generals and commanders could clearly see the entire city.

Beside them, a group of Ring Tower psionicists wearing black robes were busy working on the super large psychic communication network established through the computing orbs, and new instructions were sent out from time to time.

"The target information is summarized in Baiya, and the Plasticization Tower 01-03 is in place! The Plasticization Master is on standby!"

"The calculation of the corresponding star coordinates of Cadman City has been completed! There is no interference in the mapping between the two sides! The next phase coordinate change will be in 6 hours! There is plenty of time."

"The preparations for the 'Astral Tear' technique are complete! The White Cliff Headquarters is finalizing Plan D, General! Please give the order."

A psionicist in military uniform shouted to General Loren, who stared at the reflection of the city in the picture in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes and did not give the order immediately. Instead, he turned to look at a well-dressed old man next to him, holding a black cane and wearing a tall hat.

He said:

"How does it feel to see with your own eyes that the foundation that our compatriots have spent 400 years building will collapse in an instant?"

"The blood vultures are not my compatriots."

The old man with a gloomy face did not respect General Loren as much as the others around him. He stared at the Cadman City shrouded in the white light of the cloudy sky and whispered:

"Their shameful betrayal 225 years ago triggered the Second Night War that almost destroyed my family and even nearly dragged the entire vampire race into destruction.

And what these conspirators are planning in the shadows will be repaid in the next few minutes.

If you insist on asking my opinion.

Well I will tell you, I am looking forward to what is coming more than anyone. "

"For this revenge, you even gave up the blood feud in the Night War, violated your rules of escapism, and were willing to cooperate with the Ring Tower? As far as I know, at the end of the Second Night War and the subsequent 'Wolf Disaster' Here, the number of your tribesmen who died at the hands of the Ring Tower is astronomical."

General Loren raised his eyebrows and asked again:

"Is it really worth forgetting another hatred for an old hatred?"

"certainly."

Edward, the elder of the Wolfsbane clan, showed a charming smile under his tall hat.

He held his skull-embellished cane and whispered:

"As long as the blood vultures can be destroyed today, all the sacrifices will be worth it. You, you don't understand what the blood vultures are doing at all, and what Sarokdar's crazy actions at this time will bring to us. Such a nightmare.

I wouldn't even call it destruction, it would be enough to be called 'redemption' or 'salvation', words and descriptions that are incompatible with vampires.

But I don't want to reveal more. Don't give me any more food for thought. General Loren, you know what I want.

Let me see it!

Let me see what the Wolfsbane clan will get in return for surrendering to the talented King Louis. "

"Command confirmed!"

The half-dwarf general snorted.

He turned around and touched his beard, waved his hand, Ruxu held a sword and slashed downwards. He said in a deep voice:

"Plan D is launched! Let us bury the Blood Vulture completely and forever in history!"

"boom"

A few minutes later, a muffled sound came from the scene in front of him.

The terrifying psychic energy temporarily tore the gap between the material world and the astral world. The sky and the earth trembled at this moment, and the power of the Dark Nebula poured out. The second before the psychic reconnaissance was disrupted and dissipated, General Loren and the old man Edward saw with satisfaction the scene where most of Cadman City was completely submerged and torn to pieces.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then picked up the wine handed by the orderly and held it high.

"In the name of victory, gentlemen!"

The general shouted:

"The war is over."

Ps: Thanks to the leader of the "Humen Yan" brothers for the reward, additional updates will be included in the updated updates! Thank you, brother!
