My players are so fierce

Chapter 626 625. We decided to rename Xiko City "Creation Secret Courtyard" - first update in 2024 [33]

Taking a detailed look at the professional system from the time the game was launched to the present, Murphy had to admit that most of the various combat knowledge his young players receive are "wild ways".

In addition to vampire players who can be exposed to the orthodox fighting skills of the Blood Vulture Clan, it is basically difficult for players who choose other professions to find a unified "skill advancement mode". Take the Death Faction, for example. This faction was born in Xiao Fu Ge and Lao Huo's lucky play in the "Rat King's Doomsday" copy.

They killed the plague rat king Wizig and took back the "Book of Darkness and Destruction", which introduced the profession of coffin bearer into the game.

But the evil book written by the ancestors of the goatmen is more about the understanding and strengthening of spells and tricks. The coffin-carrying man, an alien among cultists, only mentioned a few words in passing.

The latter profession's "salted fish turnaround" relied on Hogg to "sell" the elite skeleton army in the Smuggler's Wood and conquer the Wolf's Castle, rescuing the corpse witch and the knight of the underworld, and then brought it to these young players who use the power of death. There is more knowledge that can be learned.

However, it seems that it has been strengthened several times, but it is just a few small sesame seeds picked up from the Plague Jackal. It is a piece of knowledge that has been changed hands several times, so don't expect it to be very sophisticated.

Especially for Nefertari, an orthodox death walker with a professional background, the necromancy spells that the players performed for her in the Valley of Shadows seemed to her like tricks. Well, no matter from every angle, this is It's a very sad thing.

Therefore, in the game changes that started in the closed beta, the "legitimization" of each profession is the goal that Murphy has been pursuing. Not only must he find Nefertari to be the teacher of the death apprentices, but also start the shaman inheritance.

Tris, Femis, and Julia are also required to rewrite the spell knowledge textbook for psionicists, and introduce it to Transia through Master Wamu's Berserker Church, so that melee fighters can also have relatively orthodox skills. teach.

Murphy had even made an agreement with Bloody Captain Pablo and White Mountain Earl Andre before that when the closed beta phase begins, the Blood Terror and Thorn Clan will recruit outstanding members to be responsible for the skill development of novice hunters and assassins among players. .

We can't always let Dorothy and the Blood Rat Gang do this kind of thing.

Dorothy is an explorer by profession. Although her assassin skills are good, they are really just for self-defense. She belongs to the kind of assassin who has full concealment and self-protection abilities, but kills one person in ten steps. She has not learned anything at all. Essence.

Of course, skills are always difficult to quantify in the real world. This is not a real game after all, and players have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible to learn all the skills.

For example, Master Kudel's series of proud cutting skills, so far only Brother Cat has mastered them.

This thing, like martial arts secrets, requires talent.

Therefore, Murphy's promotion of "professional formalization" is more about working hard on basic skills and cultivating a solid foundation for young players. As for which direction they will focus on in the future, that is not what Murphy needs to worry about. .

He is just an administrator.

He is not a babysitter.

At this time, in the night of Xiko City, Murphy promised Nefertari two sets of the Creator's inheritance as tuition, and then the mummy agreed to work two jobs for the Governor.

But the mummy girl also had something to say.

Although she is an undead and does not need to consider the issue of rest, a person's energy is always limited, especially when she is also responsible for the stability of Xiko City. Teaching shaman knowledge can barely be done attentively, but she also has to take on multiple responsibilities. It is unlikely that the Death Mentor will engage in "full-time teaching".

"I have seen the fighting methods of the Death Power users under your command in the Shadow Valley before. I have to admit that although their inheritance is incomplete, they can indeed exert several percent of their power, and it is probably because The lack of supplementary necromantic spells resulted in them all specializing in undead manipulation.

This is actually a very easy solution. "

The mummy sat carelessly cross-legged on the steps of the broken church, waving her hands covered with bandages and carrying a strange fragrance like perfume, and said to Murphy sitting next to her:

"Among the powers that can be taught in the Death Moon Sect are the knowledge of the manipulation of the dead and the knowledge of structures. I don't think you need to let them work hard to learn necromancy. This thing needs to be adaptable.

They are living people with life force flowing in their bodies, so they are destined to be unable to perfectly control the spiritual energy of death, so it is better to strengthen the advantages they already have.

The one with Death Pact is great.

It works quickly in a short period of time. The problem now is that there are too few undead that can give contracts to your warriors.

The ones that come and go are all types of skeleton armies, which are at the bottom among Hades creatures. Of course, if they can get enough Hades breath to strengthen their skeleton army into skeleton warriors or skeleton kings, that's another matter. "

The mummy priest took out a large thick-covered book from his luggage. The cover of this thing was inlaid with a dark gold skeleton, which looked very impressive.

She put the thing into Murphy's hand and said:

"This is my own "Necronomicon". It is a complete encyclopedia of Hades creatures and detailed explanations of manipulation techniques copied from the eternal library. It records everything from will-o'-the-wisps to ghouls to armored zombies and death scorpion warriors and mummy guards. training and contract methods.

Take it to them and let them copy it, just remember to copy it to the Mummy Guard.

This thing is the highest-level undead that a silver-level undead manipulator can contract. If you go higher, you have to enter the realm of the golden one and rely on the extraordinary law of death to complete the soul contract. That realm is too far away for them and they don’t need to consider it for the time being. .

In addition, I am also a master of undead construction, and I have learned many powerful construction techniques from my mentor.

If your warriors have such needs, I can teach them to use psychic bones to make Hades War Dogs and Bone Crawlers, use the processed remains of the dead to piece together Dead Domain Slayers, and even various types of tomb destruction By.

And you know what’s the best part?

Mr. Murphy. "

Nefertari opened her arms as if to embrace the ruins of Xiko in front of her.

She said in a cheerful tone that should not belong to the dead:

"Everything that the undead constructors need can be found in Xiko City! This city is simply the cemetery that the undead manipulators most desire! As long as they search carefully and only use the leftover materials that can be found in this city, You can assemble an army of structures!

Even given enough time, I could build a terrifying Death Titan here!

That is the king unit in the Death Moon Sect's undead construction technique. "

"It sounds very powerful, and it is indeed the absolute orthodoxy of Hades knowledge."

Murphy was flipping through Nefertari's Necronomicon, looking at the strange illustrations and ritual descriptions on the records. He deliberately threw this thing on the forum as "development material", maybe it would make people happy. The now down-and-out Death Faction has a few more apprentices.

However, His Excellency the Governor is still more concerned about practicality than legitimacy.

So he asked in a low voice:

"If. I mean if, the Black Scourge breaks through the Maginot Line and enters Transia, and you are still here at that time, can you alone raise the sea of ​​undead to stop the gnolls?"

"Wow, you really dare to think!"

The mummy was amused.

The brain-dead guy showed a strange expression on his bandaged face. She stood up, patted Murphy on the shoulder carelessly, and said:

"I can awaken many, many undead souls, but my mental power is limited, and I can only perfectly control a few hundred undead souls at one time.

Of course, if I can use some holy objects from the underworld, such as the battle flags of kings, then I can indeed control an invincible army of death in a short period of time.

As the enemy's strength decreases, my army becomes stronger.

However, the problem is that those holy objects of Hades are not allowed to be taken away from the place of origin, do you understand?

To be honest, we Songhai people have little interest in the historical changes of the continent. Occasionally, some wanderers will record stories during their journeys, but those are just records without any thoughts involved.

You may say that we are arrogant or indifferent, but the greatest and only mission of the Songhai people is to guard the legacy left by the Creator in the world!

Therefore, both the kings of Hades and the Holy Spirits of the Sun need to shoulder their responsibilities in the place of origin. If the alien evil gods still try to desecrate the legacy of the Creator, then all the powers in the place of origin will become their enemies.

At this point, Songhai people have nothing to fear!

Moreover, we have a sacred ancient covenant with the ancient country of Callum. Once the place of origin is attacked, the Dragon Emperor's army will also join the battle.

This is probably because during the first journey at the beginning of the Era, our ancestors exchanged knowledge with the ancestors of Callum. I am still young and have not been to the Far East, but I heard that the Dragon Emperor He also has an army of death under his command that is enough to overthrow the world.

Their philosophy is very similar to that of our Songhai people. The concept of yin and yang balance they pursue is similar to the reconciliation of the dead moon and the blazing sun that the Songhai people pursue.

Hey, there is a reason why we can become friends with them! "

"Well, you Songhai people are so awesome."

Governor Murphy did not hesitate to send a rainbow fart, and then asked "humbly":

"But have you never thought about creating an artifact that can control the undead on a large scale? For example, a crown. Once you wear it, you can become the ruler of all the dead in the world, sitting on a throne that strengthens yourself. , even in the place of origin, you can remotely control the undead in other parts of the continent.

Sounds cool and practical, doesn't it? "

"Well"

If Nefertari didn't have real eyes, she would probably roll her eyes and complain.

she says:

"This damn idea of ​​yours needs to be mummified in the Holy City of the Moon and then eaten by scarabs for a thousand years! The awakened undead have their own will, and that is the last freedom granted to them by Hades!

How can we, the gatekeepers of Hades, ignore the freedom of the dead and forcefully enslave them?

That's something only cultists do.

What's more, the kings of Hades will not allow us to act recklessly and dare to forge such evil artifacts. It is estimated that the Hades army in the entire place of origin will gather to overthrow the Holy City of the Moon.

I can understand that in the eyes of you living beings, the superior-subordinate system of the dead does have a strong sense of dominance, but that is the traditional culture of our undead, not forced slavery.

In short, you can hide your bad thoughts.

I'm out of my mind and think this idea is just a bit bad, but if other death walkers hear it, you will most likely want to be on the 'eternal bounty' list like your charming girlfriend. "

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking casually, nothing else."

Murphy waved his hand.

He soon received the news from Phimis, and stood up and said to Nefertari:

"Your first Transian apprentice is already outside the city. Do you want to go with me to greet him? By the way, can you let me ride your three-headed dog?"

"If you're not afraid of being bitten to death by Sanchez, just try it."

When the mummy heard that the damn vampire was going to ride her beloved three-headed dog, her hair suddenly exploded, and she screamed:

"Let me tell you, your small body cannot withstand Sanchez's multiple bites. Although it is just a puppy, it has noble blood. Its mother is the current three-headed dog king, His Excellency Peleus!

That is the guardian of Hades, my mentor.

Back then, your misbehaving girlfriend was almost bitten to death by Lord Peleus! If you dare to bully Sanchez, just be careful of every gust of cold wind blowing behind you. "

"Okay, if you don't want to ride, I won't ride. Don't be angry."

Murphy spread his wings and hung in the air, waiting for the mummy to ride on her three-headed dog chariot.

But Sanchez had already gone to sleep. Nefertari did not disturb her partner. Instead, she took out a strange crystal, rubbed it a few times and threw it on the ground. With the buzzing sound, the crystal quickly Melting, at the same time, a big round bug like a beetle appeared in front of you.

This bug is obviously domesticated.

It's huge.

It has a beautiful black-gold shell and terrifying plier-like mouthparts, and there are black spikes on the head like a halberd. The whole thing is like a halberd bug magnified more than ten times, from the tail to the sharp horn on the top of the head. It is more than three meters long, and there are eerie moon patterns on the insect's closed wings.

It is equipped with a very beautiful and majestic saddle, and a small golden crown is fixed on its head with a special technique. There are two flags next to the saddle, one of which is the emblem battle flag of the Moon of Death. There are strange lines on the other pole, which are probably the symbol of the Pom clan from which Nefertari was born.

Nefertari also has this pattern on her robe.

“Is this bug a scarab?”

Murphy watched curiously as Nefertari climbed onto the saddle with great dignity, grabbed the reins again, and drove the beetle into a humming flight. He asked:

"I have long heard that the Songhai people love scarabs very much. It is said that each of your adult tribesmen has a scarab of their own, which is both a transportation vehicle and a fighting partner?"

"Well, scarabs are the Songhai people's best friends!"

The mummy said proudly:

“My scarab ‘Pumbaa’ won the first place in the scarab competition forty-five years ago! You can see that it doesn’t have a crown, which is a symbol of its status as a ‘champion beetle’.

In fact, Peng Peng was supposed to die with me and be reborn as a more powerful Death Moon Scarab in the underworld, but I couldn't bear to let it go into the tomb with me, so I secretly released it to the desert three days before I died of illness. inside.

As a result, this fool stayed by my grave until six years later when I was selected by my mentor to become an apprentice, and it happily accompanied me again.

Peng Peng's life is almost up.

Maybe in a few years, it will go to Hades and stay with me forever. "

"Did you die of illness?"

Murphy whispered:

"I thought you volunteered to become a member of the Death Moon Cult."

"I have not been in good health since I was a child. I always dream about many things in the underworld. My father invited priests to come and see me. They said that I was born to be chosen by death and was destined to return to the underworld and be resurrected again."

When talking about her own death, Nefertari didn't feel too sad. She said in a tone that was so open-minded as to be heartless:

"The truth is as the priests expected. I passed away at the age of twenty-four without even having a relationship. It's really pitiful. Then six years after my death, I was resurrected by my mentor himself. The day I became a mummy priest. , my tribe celebrated me, and my father and mother also regarded me as the hope of revitalizing the tribe.

You have to know that my tribe was one of the sixty-six families that met the Creator before. It was quite prominent, but it was a pity that it was implicated in the rebellion of the damn Mamluk warlords three hundred years ago.

Alas, my brain is not suitable for politics, and my mentor will not let me get involved in the complicated relationship between the pharaohs and the pharaoh king. I really don’t know how to revitalize my tribe. "

"Ah, this is easy!"

Murphy's eyes lit up and he said:

"Give me a drop of your blood. If you still keep it, I can let some foreigners enter the world as warriors of your Pom tribe. When they do legendary things, they can use the name of your tribe to promote them. So majestic.

You see, your tribe can gain great reputation without having to make sacrifices. What a great thing. "

"Eeeeeeeee!"

The mummy girl exclaimed:

"You crooked guy, don't tell me, it is indeed somewhat maneuverable! Do you really only need a few drops of blood? Our custom is to leave a bottle of blood in the tomb, and I still carry it with me. .”

"Well, just wait and see. Of course, these foreigners will be under your command. What I mean is that if they cause trouble, you have to take it for them, but with your terrible background, it's nothing."

Ps:

The fan base has reached the highest level, but there is still no way to solve this "rogue AI". I have already told the operations officer to prepare to ban these shameless bastards who don't know where they came from. Alas, I know the development of technology is a good thing, but I really didn't expect it to be used for this.

There will be 15 more chapters of leader updates in the past few days. It’s hard to say which day it is, but from the 1st to the 7th, there are double monthly votes, so brothers don’t have to save, just vote directly if you have one.
