My players are so fierce

Chapter 165 164. Shani’s bet!

Time advanced to the next day, when Tris's alchemy hut reopened for business at eight o'clock in the morning, the players who were impatiently waiting for new products to be put on the shelves so that they could quickly complete the Black Iron Trial finally saw what they had been dreaming of.

Sufficient amounts of burning oil were put on the shelves, and then purchased by players waving gold coins.

The burning oil launched this time is an "upgraded version" with the addition of better quality blazing glue. As the chief apprentice of the alchemy hut, Big Pigeon, the leader, patted his chest and assured that the efficiency of killing elite ghouls with this thing would only increase. high.

The other alchemy apprentices also persuaded their brothers to buy more.

There's a reason they're so aggressively marketed, and the cunning Tris ties their compensation to the hut's turnover.

For every item sold, players who are currently working in the Alchemy House will receive a reward.

Although it is not much, compared to players who currently do not have a stable means of income in the game, working for His Excellency the Blood Vulture Grand Duke is acceptable.

However, even with the important burning oil and bullets specially designed to deal with vampires, not everyone can successfully complete the Black Iron Trial like Ashina and Bangge. These auxiliary methods only increase the success rate; One hundred percent effective.

Both Lumina and Brother Bang repeatedly emphasized in their posts that they must practice their main skills to the minimum level before taking on the challenge.

But this cannot stop the coquettish hearts of players.

The main reason is that everyone else has already passed. If I'm still stuck, doesn't that prove that I'm a noob?

However, the paradox is that in the online world, who can admit that they are good?

"Isn't it? Brother Nitou, do you want to try too?"

In front of the alchemy hut, Happy Stick, who came to join in the fun and stood on the street, saw an old acquaintance. He grabbed the dump truck Iai who was chatting with his hands behind his back like the old man of the park. He said in surprise:

"Aren't you three casual and administrative players? Why are you here to conduct a trial of strength? Don't you feel comfortable being officials in the camp?"

"It's cool, we all have position allowances now."

The dump truck laughed, waved his hands and said:

"But since we are playing games, we have to challenge ourselves occasionally, otherwise it will always feel weird to be stuck at level 10. I know what you are worried about, but don't be afraid, the four of us will not go to the sewers to challenge dangerous zombies. Damn it, we're going to go practice with those jackal bandits.

There are also elite leaders among them!

Moreover, these guys are famous for being bullies. If you set up traps and hit them with serious injuries, they will run away, and then it will be OK to rush forward and harvest them.

By the way, it can also help train the new guard recruits in the camp, killing two birds with one stone. "

"Oh, this is a good idea. After all, no matter how big the sewer is, there aren't that many elite ghouls to cause trouble to the players."

The happy stick rubbed his chin.

He also felt that he needed to move the "battlefield". After getting the underground treasure house of the gang they were looking for, why not take his brothers out to "fight in the jungle"?

"Hey, Brother Fu?"

While chatting for two days, the "rich brother" who is now well known among the players wandered over to join in the fun even though he was poor.

This guy is holding his little manticore on his head, which has developed subtle feelings. The little guy is already as big as a fat cat. He is curious about everything, and he looks around outside the crowd. , and was joked by the happy stick next to him:

"You are only at level 3, and you are already thinking about the Black Iron Trial? Are you so motivated?"

"I'm here to buy a 'growth potion' for my smelly baby."

Brother Xiaofu grinned, waved his hands and said:

"The upgrade method of our summoners is different from yours. We all rely on babies for output. I am not in a hurry to upgrade. I have to finish the first hunt of the stinky baby first. But I don't want to take it to the sewer. What can Brother Bang recommend? A place?”

"Will you come with us to clear the gnoll camp?"

The dump truck invited:

"It's not far from the camp. It takes about ten minutes to get there on horseback. It's mainly for gaining NPC combat experience. You can follow along and replenish your wounds. It's not very dangerous."

"Okay, how much is it?"

Brother Fu asked cheerfully and asked if he could just give it to the dump truck.

The middle-aged man said in surprise:

"How much does this cost? Don't you have much money to spend?"

"Ah, there is really no place to spend money in this game! There is not even a recharge window. You said you can sell fashion clothes. I also want the Vampire Midnight Hunter ceremonial uniform, but unfortunately there is no place to buy it. However, power leveling is not Do you want money?"

Mo Youqiong scratched his hair, then hugged the little manticore on his head and rubbed it hard, he said:

"Is it free? Is there such a good thing? This kind of free thing sounds unreliable. Are you going to use me as a jackal bait?"

"You register as a junior manager in the camp and you can follow the NPC. Not only does it cost you no money, but you will also receive a work allowance every week. You have more money, less things to do, and you are close to home. You only need to allocate two hours a day. Just help the NPC with the camp affairs.

The simple and enjoyable game mode is best for rich guys like you.

Walk.

Brother, let me take you to see it. "

The dump truck patted the little rich brother on the shoulder, and the cunning middle-aged man planned to trick a newbie into joining their "administrative group".

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the camp outside the city. The original survivor camp had been divided into "sub-bases" outside the city, mainly for the collectors and cleaners who were working in the ruins of the city. There were also many NPC merchants appear, and some players can find some strange things in their hands.

While the little players were starting their daily games, Murphy, who had just finished sleeping for several hours in the Blood Eagle Corridor, also came to his office on time.

Unlike other vampires who have a habit of sleeping around the clock and out at night, Murphy always takes a few hours to sleep in the dark. This is his "little secret". But when he pushed open the office door with a yawn, he saw an "uninvited guest" sitting in front of him.

"Mrs. Shani?"

Murphy quickly tidied up his slightly sloppy appearance, and said in surprise:

"Why did you get up so early?"

"I also want to ask, why do you, a vampire, sleep peacefully under the blessing of night? Shouldn't you be enjoying a quiet dream in a coffin under the curse of day?"

Shani looked at Murphy up and down and said slightly teasingly:

"Sure enough, you are indeed an 'atypical vampire' as you said."

"I have only been transformed for a short period of time, and my human habits are still stubbornly affecting my new life. At the moment, I have no intention of getting rid of this 'bad habit'."

Murphy responded appropriately, and then glanced at Andre, Earl of White Mountain, who was standing next to Grand Duke Shani.

The latter's eyes stayed on the Hanya Blade on Murphy's waist that no longer belonged to him.

There are complex emotions in the gray eyes, and there is a hint of frustration in them. Everyone is a new vampire kid who was transformed last year, and they are all new vampire stars at the Black Iron level, but why is there such a big gap?

He felt that when Murphy was at full strength, he could probably knock him down within twenty moves.

Murphy has a different take on this.

He thought it could be done in ten moves at most.

If it was a life and death battle and a necessary evil was used, he felt that he could even create an "instant kill". Of course, these words could not be said, as it would undermine other people's confidence and be too dishonorable.

"A being as noble as you certainly wouldn't appear in my office so formally on an annoying early morning just to make a joke with me. So, I guess, our conversation last night has already produced results. Already?"

Murphy strode to his desk, took out his Lord's Memo and put it on the table. He crossed his fingers and looked at the very dignified Grand Duke Shani who was sitting in front of him.

The expression on that handsome face became serious, and he asked:

"Can I assume that you are now talking to the Governor of Transia on behalf of Her Majesty the Wolf Lady of the Nordtov Kingdom?"

"Can't!"

Shani maintained the standard manner of a palace lady, and she spoke clearly:

"I do represent the will of Her Majesty Angelina Alexeyevna Nomanov, but you, Lord Murphy, you are not yet the governor of Transia recognized by our country. At least until you Until the next thing is completed, he can only be regarded as the 'acting governor'."

"oh?"

Murphy smiled and said:

"In other words, Her Majesty the Wolf Lady agreed in principle to the four requests I made?"

"Yes, I agree in principle, but there will definitely be changes in practice."

Mrs. Shani waved her hand.

The Earl of Baishan next to him immediately took out a luxurious palace tea set from the psychic bag and skillfully cooked the fragrant black tea.

While he was busy, Grand Duke Shani took out a scroll from her lady's bag and opened it in front of Murphy. She coughed and read:

"With the approval and instructions of Her Majesty Angelina Alexeyevna Nomanov, the Kingdom of Nordtov will release the captured Transian armed blood servants starting next month, with a quota of 6,000 people.

When the blood servants are insufficient, our country will provide part of the demobilized troops to supplement the Transcia region to replenish the severely damaged production system in the region.

At the same time, when the official legion of Earl Transia Cadman is completed, 3 arsenals and 7 material chambers designated by the Queen of our country will provide firearms, ammunition and necessary military supplies for the legion under Count Murphy. .

Her Majesty the Queen requires Earl Murphy to purchase supplies every two months, and the quantity purchased each time must not be less than a campaign base!

Fifteen days later, a team of special envoys from the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Nordtov will enter Transia to discuss the issue of large loans with the retainers and professionals under Count Cadman.

This amount will be paid in kind by our country to the Transia region, and you will need to pay it back year by year in the next five years.

In order to show Her Majesty the Queen's emphasis on the Transia region and her desire to resume production, the first phase of the loan will be accompanied by interest that is loss-making from all angles, and subsequent loan matters will be determined based on specific circumstances.

Finally, Her Majesty the Queen assigned the Thorn Clan to be fully responsible for the implementation of the ‘minerals for food’ plan in the Crimean Fortress and the mining areas in southern Transia. "

After reading this, Grand Duke Shani glanced at Murphy.

The latter listened very carefully. After hearing that all four of his requests were met, the vampire lord's eyes were filled with joy.

But the next second, Grand Duke Shani's tone changed.

She said in a long voice:

"However, the long-term cooperation with the Transia region is related to the reform process of the Kingdom of Nordtof. The Queen hopes to see her acting governor fulfill the contract between the two parties in a more serious and professional manner, so the Queen attached to this treaty Two hard conditions.

First, because the establishment of the contract is based on the two parties jointly responding to the threat of the Black Disaster, the Queen must confirm that the Transian region has the ability to fight against the Jackal army.

Therefore, the Queen will give Earl Murphy three months.

Earl Murphy must clean up the Gnoll bandits that are currently rampant in Transia before the deadline, lest these wilderness evil creatures become the vanguard of the Gnoll tide when the Black Disaster breaks out.

Second, the Queen wanted to confirm that the Governor of Transia she was about to appoint was a professional who was proficient in government affairs.

Therefore, order must be restored to Transia, which is currently in chaos, before the three-month deadline arrives! According to estimates by our generals, the current number of people in Transia is between 150,000 and 200,000.

Therefore, within three months, Earl Murphy must control at least 60% of the people on this land and make them recognize your rule and your majesty.

If Earl Murphy cannot do the above two things, then unfortunately Her Majesty the Queen will appoint a more professional and excellent member of the royal family to serve as Governor of Transia. "

The moment Grand Duke Shani finished speaking, Earl Andre of White Mountain just handed a cup of fragrant black tea to Murphy.

The vampire lord looked at the gray-blue eyes of the thin young man in front of him. He obviously understood who the royal family member specified at the end of the contract would rule the land in place of Murphy.

Andre was also looking at Murphy.

Earl Baishan had no expression in his eyes at this time.

He was just looking at the Earl of Transia with a look that scrutinized his "opponent".

"Three months?"

Murphy chuckled, reached out and took the palace black tea handed over by Andre, put it under his nostrils and sniffed, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very well, I accept this challenge from the queen! But I also have an additional condition. Don't worry, it may not even be officially recorded in the contract that is about to be signed."

Murphy drank the tea.

The warm feeling mixed with the smell of spices went straight to the nostrils, but it was not unpleasant.

He liked the smell of victory.

Even more pleasurable to his human soul than wine spiked with blood.

The vampire lord put down the tea cup, stood up, pointed at Andre and said to Grand Duchess Shani:

"During these three months, I want your heir and his servants to stay in Transia to assist me in completing what I want to accomplish. He can also serve as the wolf girl and your eyes to report this to the two of you. The changes that are about to take place across the land.”

"So brave!"

Mrs. Shani couldn’t help but praise:

"Are you so confident that you can rely on your own actions to impress my heirs with your charisma? Very good! This magnanimity alone is worthy of Andre's study.

He is very talented.

But you always lack confidence, always eager to prove yourself but full of the impatience unique to young people. However, these problems are rarely seen in you who are similar to him. I am very curious about what kind of story you have experienced to be able to You are so calm.

Well, Count Murphy, I entrust my heir to you.

His original mission was to go to the Dark Mountains to support the defense of the Blood Alliance Knights on behalf of the Thorn Clan. Now having him work in the rear of Transia can have the same effect.

But I warn you, don’t lead my little Andre into trouble. "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Andre said softly next to him:

"I've always been a slow learner."

"Then sign."

Mrs. Shani put the contract in her hand on the table and handed Murphy a luxurious palace gold pen.

Murphy did not sign immediately, but patiently read the contract from beginning to end. After confirming that there were no hidden holes or problems, he picked up a pen and wrote his name, and then turned the seal ring on his finger upside down. It was covered with psychic energy and then printed underneath the contract.

"Wait a moment, Grand Duke Shani."

After seeing the Duke of Thorns finishing his business and preparing to leave, Murphy called out to her.

Under Shani's questioning gaze, Murphy smiled and said:

"I hope you can stay in my territory for a few more days. You are the noble representative of the Thorn Clan and the Kingdom of Nordtov, and I am the acting governor appointed by Her Majesty the Wolf Lady. I think I should let my The people understood this.

You can conduct a tour through my territory to promote the majesty of Her Majesty the Wolf Lady.

I mean, my warriors

They really like and admire your great looks. "

He handed over a calculation orb, and Grand Duchess Shani took it hesitantly. Then she shook her head and said:

"But I don't like them, they're a bunch of rude people!"

"Yes, yes! This is the posture! Maintain this posture, with pride mixed with gentleness, and gentleness with a hint of proper arrogance. My warriors are attracted by your outstanding grace.

It's better to be a little more arrogant or put on your fake but really beautiful smile. "

Murphy reminded:

"You should not be fooled by the appearance of my warriors. They are very simple and enthusiastic warriors on the inside. They can complete all the tasks you ask! I guarantee that you will like them after getting in touch with them. "
