My players are so fierce

Chapter 1356 1354. The last warning from midnight

It will rain in the Scarlet Castle area tonight, and it will drip down at night. When Murphy walked out of the top of the Midnight Tower, he could just see the Scarlet Castle at night.

The lights on the tops of the tall and short buildings in the city flickered in the rain, covering this noisy city in the daytime with an indescribable tranquility. The inferior neon lights flashing in the rain also gave it a unique look. With the pedestrians hiding from the rain on the street and the purple glow of the star cracks above Transia, there is always a gloomy feeling.

Perhaps it is because there are too many vampires living in this city.

Murphy moved his neck and spread his wings behind him. With a flash of blood, he rushed into the sky, so fast that most people could not catch it. With Murphy's current speed, he has approached the limit that winged creatures can reach by flying in the flesh. He can feel the invisible obstacle in every accelerated flight.

Perhaps this is the specialization that the Lorsa Heart, which constantly strengthens its adaptability with Murphy, brings to him.

Perhaps he only needs to break through that layer of obstacles, and he can rely on his wings to shuttle through space like Lorsa, completely surpassing the meaning of the word "speed".

However, Murphy hasn't fought seriously for a long time. The last time he fought hard was when he faced the Midnight Mistress in the forest of the elves. After that, he kept cheating crazily on the grounds of "physical discomfort" and killed Dagon and Lorhei with his "wisdom", which fully demonstrated that Murphy's current level no longer needs to fight with a reckless man.

This also brought a very wonderful result, that is, Murphy himself could not hold his true strength now.

Although according to the description of the panel, he has already entered the ranks of the Golden Ones, and thanks to the Creator and the Midnight Mistress, when his extraordinary golden rule has not yet been formed, he already has two golden rules that can be used.

In the past, he could practice swordsmanship with Necessary Evil when he had nothing to do, but now Necessary Evil is no match for him. Without Murphy's participation in the battle, the once fierce magic sword has become lazy.

It is like a person who has gone through an anxious adolescence and then settled down and became as steady as an old dog, staying quietly in the scabbard like an ordinary vampire blade.

Even though the limited number of appearances has been squeezed out by the "new" Long Night Guards, it is not noisy. This Buddhist transformation makes Murphy occasionally wonder if he has neglected Necessary Evil too much, causing this magic sword to be upset?

But after showing it to Tris, he got a piece of news that is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

The silence of Necessary Evil is "evolving".

It is hard to say whether this guy has been contaminated with too much creation energy by Murphy's side, causing it to move to a higher level from the material of the weapon to the strength of its inner spiritual consciousness.

It was difficult for Tris to estimate how long it would take for the necessary evil to complete this self-transformation, but it was certain that after it "awoke", the mark left by Sarokdar on the sword would be completely removed, and by then, this thing would become Murphy's unique magic sword.

Tris also made a metaphor, like the Holy Lance Eternal Silence in the hands of the Lord.

Theoretically, that thing can be used by any vampire of the Blood Alliance Clan, but in reality, let alone using it, anyone other than the Lord would be met with a terrifying counterattack if they dared to touch it.

That is "exclusive weapon".

Weapons that can only be used by specific people.

This is actually a good thing for Murphy. Although he now appears with the Long Night Guard, this sword is more like a ritual than a weapon. It is the original shrine of the Midnight Twins. Although it can be used in battle in theory, Murphy doesn't really want to use it to challenge a strong enemy.

What if it breaks? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Even if it doesn't break, it will be troublesome to maintain it after bumps and bumps, so if you have to fight later, it's better to use the necessary evil that has been tamed.

Speak of the devil, and the devil will appear.

Just as Murphy turned from the sky into a "scarlet midnight comet" and landed on the hills outside the Scarlet Castle, he saw Lord Paying and his unicorn standing there waiting for him.

The Lord was wearing a cloak to avoid the rain from getting on him, while Uncle Aurora was having fun in the rain in front of the hills, perhaps because he persuaded his old god brothers not to make trouble and found a good home for them, which made him happy.

"How is the recruitment of new members of the Holy Blood Corps?"

Murphy asked.

Lord Paying looked at the Scarlet Castle in the heavy rain and whispered:

"The elites of the Wolf Poison Clan have just joined the team, and the Spirit Swordsmen of the Secret Blood Clan have also arrived from Callum. Now only the Thorn Night Walkers are left. I plan to take them to the Gray Desert to check the situation first and practice with some villains scattered there. How long will it take you?"

"At most half a month."

Murphy replied:

"I have to wait until the Sentinel Hunting Patrol Ship of the Star Realm is repaired and the contact with the Sentinel Corps is completed before I can take the foreigners to the Gray Desert to solve the problems there and recycle the Life Greenhouse.

Something will happen in the Kafhoka area, but I will not be involved in it. I will arrange the problems here before I go to the Gray Desert. But you said that the Thorn Clan has not responded. Do you want to have a meeting with Shani?"

"I have talked to her and given her an ultimatum, but unfortunately, Grand Duke Shani seems to be very busy recently and has not replied to me."

The Lord said calmly:

"However, there are only three days left before the Holy Blood Chapter issues a recruitment order to the Thorn Clan. If they don't give me an explanation before the deadline is over, then I will take the Light Chaser to the Principality of Thorns. Give them an explanation.”

"Shani is in the Songhai Empire now."

Murphy's state at this time was very much like a "bad student who snitched". He said to Lord Paying:

"It's not that she doesn't want to respond to your call, it's just that she is busy with another matter closely related to the stability of the Nordtov Kingdom. That is the duty she must perform as the intelligence director of the Wolf Girl. Maybe you should give her more time. ”

Facing Murphy's explanation, the Lord did not answer. He just stretched out his hand and let the rain in front of him drip on his silver gauntlet, as if he was trying to lift something invisible.

Amidst the crisp collision of raindrops and gauntlets, the Lord replied in a cold tone:

"Look, Murphy, here's the problem.

Shani has been a vampire a long time ago, but now that our civilization is at a very critical moment, she still puts aside the affairs of the Thorn clan and chooses to devote her energy and time to the affairs of the human kingdom.

Did she really not know what consequences her silence would bring to the Thorn Clan?

She knows!

She just doesn't care.

She wants to answer my call with this attitude. After I lead the Holy Blood Chapter to punish the Thorns Clan, she can cut off the contact between the Thorns Clan and us, so as to completely destroy the Thorns Clan according to her paranoid and selfish wishes. It was separated from the vampire civilization and existed as a vassal race of the Kingdom of Nordtof.

Just like the relationship between the frost dwarves and the Nord royal family.

Perhaps in Shani's mind, her surname has always been 'Romanov' rather than 'Torize'.

Perhaps in her opinion, whether the Wolf Girl can secure the throne is more important than whether the Thorn Clan will return to vampire orthodoxy.

Murphy, tell me, is such a person, such a vampire, really suitable to become a grand duke leading a clan?

Shani has obviously forgotten who saved her from the most desperate death! She has forgotten where she came from, she has lost her awe of midnight, and is immersed in a past that she should have long since severed.

I still appreciate Shani's talent and her outstanding demeanor, but unfortunately, she is no longer suitable to continue to be the Grand Duke of Thorns because of her demonic barrier.

Can you do me a favor? Murphy. "

"Of course, I am happy to perform whatever work I can for you, Lord."

Murphy leaned slightly and said:

"But why me? Why couldn't you have gone in person to convey to Shani her order to be deposed?"

"Because Yongji will not listen to excuses, and there is no forgiveness in front of the Millennium Lord."

The Lord waved his hands and said:

"If I appeared in front of her, there would be no other possibility except bringing back a stone statue. But for you, there is a lot of room for maneuver. I entrust Shani's future to you.

She is not hopeless, she is just too persistent, and she just chose the wrong direction. "

"But that is a Grand Duke, my lord."

Murphy complained:

"I don't believe that Shani is willing to put down her weapons after just two or three words of persuasion from me. So, can I really win?"

"That's your problem, Murphy."

The Lord pulled down his hood and said:

"How about I lend you the holy spear?"

"Forget it, I think if I took that thing, you wouldn't want to go back."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"You don't know why you're so crazy. You've persisted for more than a thousand years and now you're crazy about 'retiring'. But let me tell you, the civilization of vampires can't do without you. Don't tempt me anymore. , just keep holding on for a while, at least until we take down the Life Greenhouse, okay?"

"Okay, I'll take care of the Principality of Thorns, and you can take care of Shani."

The Lord made a gesture and said:

"Before the Holy Blood Seal begins, I will work hard to give the Holy Blood Group a certain combat effectiveness."

"Wait, Lord, there are two more questions."

Murphy called Lord Paying, who was calling Aurora and wanted to leave here, and asked:

"First, the candidate for the next Grand Duke of Thorns."

"Andre!"

The Lord said:

"You've chosen it, and the young man is a perfect fit in every way."

"No! Andre is just a transitional person. Lord, the Grand Duke of Thorns must be a woman. This is their tradition. I have no intention of breaking this beautiful tradition. After all, the current Grand Duke of the Blood Clan does have a strong yang and a weak yin."

Murphy shook his head and said:

"In my plan, Andrei will only hold on as the acting Grand Duke until the real Grand Duke of Thorns enters midnight. You know who I'm talking about."

"Wolf girl?"

The Lord frowned and said:

"But will Queen Angelina really be willing to walk into midnight after death? The young king with the aura of a hero king will not allow her fate to slip to this point. Eternal sinners, that is terrible burden.”

"She will agree because soon I will make her an offer she cannot refuse."

Murphy shrugged and said:

"Andre will also try his best to persuade his sister. As humans, they can only be siblings, but when it comes to midnight and using our vampire's dirty and dirty moral values, Andre can control it. The space is huge.

And I guess that a woman as outstanding as the Wolf Girl would also want to watch over her country in another way after her death.

As for whether she will become the next Shani, it only depends on whether fate favors her.

Finally, regarding your strength, Lord.

In the past few days, the unlocking of the world's power is tending to be completed, and your strength has reached its limit. Standing here, I can feel the abnormal restlessness of the blood in your body. Maybe this is because you don't want to go there in person.' Reasons to persuade' Shani.

You're afraid that you won't be able to hold back and will actually chop her to death.

What I want to ask is, how long will it take for you to stabilize into the realm of demigods? "

"That's a road no one has traveled, Murphy. I need a moment to find the ladder up."

The Lord sighed and said:

"When your strength reaches the gold level, it means that your own strength has been polished to the limit. Next, you need to introduce supernatural power from the outside. I asked the demigods, and they directly absorb the more violent and primitive astral spiritual energy to strengthen their power. .

That is their talent. We beings in the material world naturally cannot do that.

But there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​seeking strength from the outside. If I am unwilling to follow the path of the Midnight Twins, then maybe I should calm down and think about the direction of my climb in life.

However, the increase in strength is indeed rapid. When we attack the Life Greenhouse, I should be able to exert a power close to that of a demigod. "

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved."

Murphy nodded and said:

"Old Edward's progress should be the same as yours, which means that when we get there, there will be two quasi-demigod-level pioneers opening the way. I feel so relieved."

"Resolve Shani's problem as soon as possible, Murphy."

The Lord called Lord Aurora with a whistle. When he turned over and was about to leave, he turned back to Murphy and warned:

"If you don't want to execute her, then find another way. The only requirement is that Shani can't appear again. I don't want the Thorn clan to cause any trouble again."

"Understood! Grand Duke Shani of the Thorn Clan unfortunately disappeared while exploring the thousand-year quicksand of the Songhai Empire alone. This is her final outcome."

——

"Patriarch! We have found out the details of all the members of the Mist Sea Trading Company's two offices in the Songhai Empire! On the surface, these Songhai people are serving the trading company and are conducting a series of large-scale goods transactions with the Songhai Empire. , but in fact they are all 'trustees' found from the local area!

Some of them even came directly from a theater troupe in Port of Origin!

They are professionals in acting. No wonder they were able to fool the military spies sent by Marshal Heraclius. "

In a small oasis near the Origin Port in the Millennium Sand Sea of ​​the Songhai Empire, the upper-ranking vampire of the Thorn Clan rushed into Shani's room with a ledger. She placed the ledger on the expressionless patriarch's desk. , shouted:

"This is their account book. When I got it back, the numbers in it were filled in randomly. Compared with the perfect account book at the Kafhuoka headquarters, which has no faults at all, it is extremely shoddy!"

"Oh, it's true!"

Shani, who was dressed in desert style, narrowed her eyes and looked at the other heir. She asked:

"What about the local warehouse?"

"The warehouse is indeed filled with all kinds of weapons, and it is very large."

The second heir whispered:

"But I spent some effort to seduce the logistics personnel in the warehouse and came to the conclusion that these weapons were special equipment to be sent to Transia. They only took the trade route of the Misty Sea Trading Company in name, creating a prosperous illusion. To set off their so-called investment transactions.

Obviously, Patriarch, the Misty Sea Trading Company is just a scam!

And I seriously suspect that this institution is inseparable from the Transians, and the amount of funds they are now raising in Kafhokar is large enough to shake the kingdom's rule there.

Our informant placed next to Marshal Heraclius reported that the marshal was deeply involved in this investment scam, and that he had recently been wooing some restless nobles in Beifong Castle.

Perhaps, this marshal, who has different political views from the wolf girl, is trying to recreate the story of the former 'usurper Rurik'.

Fortunately, you sensed something was wrong and came to the Songhai Empire in person, otherwise they would really have fooled you this time. "

Shani did not answer the compliment.

She would not tell her heirs that she came to the Songhai Empire just to avoid some troublesome things. As for investigating the activities of the Misty Sea Trading Company, it was just a matter of convenience, but she did not expect to really dig up something incredible.

"Then, you have to do it as soon as possible, huh?"

Shani was about to give the order when she suddenly looked up and looked out the window.

All the vampires in the courtyard felt some kind of strange change at this moment. They rushed out of the house and saw that the setting sun above their heads, which was supposed to be dusk, turned into a midnight sky full of stars. As night falls, it seems as if the entire oasis is sleeping until midnight.

This silence made these thorn vampires feel uneasy. Even though midnight would protect the vampires, at this moment they clearly felt the indifference of the night towards them.

"What's going on!"

Shani's servants exclaimed, and the Duke of Thorns frowned. After a moment, she stood up and said:

"You immediately break out toward the Sand Sea! Use all means to contact Beifeng Castle, tell Angelina the truth about the Misty Sea Trading Company, and ask her to immediately send people to seal down all institutions related to the trading company!

I stay here.

Go for it!

Don't delay. "

The other Thorn Vampires sensed something bad from the Grand Duke's tone.

They stopped talking and moved towards the sandy sea deep in the night at an extremely fast speed. Shani stayed alone in the courtyard. When she walked out of the room, she had already put on combat attire and covered her face with a mask. .

And in front of Shani's eyes, in the sudden darkness, a crimson crimson fell from the sky, and finally landed accurately in the courtyard in front of the Grand Duke of Thorns.

Amidst the destructive roar brought by the sonic wave, Murphy folded his wings.

He held the handle of the knife and did not unsheath the weapon in the end. He just looked at Shani and said with a sincere expression:

"The Lord asked me to give you a message, Shani, stop it before it's too late. And my advice to you is that you really can't check everything, just in case something is really found out like now. Isn’t it embarrassing?”
