31.Things have really turned around this time (page 2/2)
“I admit that Miriam is very smart, she is almost the smartest fellow human being I have ever met, Master Murphy, but I think you are too indulgent towards her..”
Maxim nodded, but emphasized：
“If you appreciate her, then give her the honor of becoming a blood servant. A leader like you will surely become a big thing in the future, and her serving you does not insult her humble wisdom..
Although I have never been to a halfling city, I have seen the lives of those ambitious young girls who want to climb up in Cadman City. I think it should be similar in other places..
I admit that wisdom is a good thing, but people like Miriam, who come from a lower class, have no background and no wealth, cannot use it at all.！
Her wisdom is not even as useful in this world as her beauty.
If you are not lucky enough, the best destination is to be the mistress of some old and stupid nobleman, or like her mother, who has clearly seen the bigger world, but can only marry a stupid and short-sighted person after spending her youth. Blood Servant Village Chief.
Even worse.
If you really value her, you should help her escape this sad fate.
Just like you gave my life hope.”
These words surprised Murphy. He looked at his loyal servant and said：
“I didn’t expect this to come out of your mouth, Mark. It seems I don’t know you well enough, but loyalty is a two-way street, just like you and me..
I don't want a servant who forces obedience. That would be laying a minefield for myself that I don't know when it will explode..
She is different from you. Becoming a vampire is obviously not in her life choice. Even if I really want to recruit, I have to figure out what Miriam really wants first..
Okay, let’s not talk about this topic for now..
You carry these boxes onto our carriage. You must guard them at all times and don't let anyone else get close.！
These things are very, very important to our cause, and I can only hand over this important responsibility to you..”
“snap”
Maxim beat his chest and said in a deep voice：
“I will guard them with my life, Master Murphy, please trust me with everything.！”
“Um.”
Murphy nodded, hung the computing orb that was still absorbing psychic energy around his neck with a rope, and placed it close to his body before walking away. However, after taking a few steps, he turned back to Maxim explain：
“Those cavalrymen in the pit...”
“It's been taken care of, Master..”
The loyal blood servant whispered without looking back.：
“These trivial matters should not take up your precious time.”
“Um.”
Murphy nodded, waved his hand and said：
“Don't let my warriors know about this. They are kind-hearted and will feel sad about this..”
After saying that, Murphy left the dead woodland briskly. After experiencing a life-and-death struggle with Joe Pan Markchi and winning, the vampire nature in his body had revived a lot..
die.
These two words can no longer cause any more waves in Murphy's heart, especially these strangers who have nothing to do with him..
Murphy still doesn't know if this resurgence of dark instincts is good or bad..
But you can be sure that it will help you survive better in this cruel world..
Just like fingers will retract when encountering flames, just like ants will run away when encountering danger, these biological instincts accumulated over thousands of years of survival will never harm him..
A few minutes later, Murphy arrived at the outskirts of the woodland.
A bonfire was lit here, and Mrs. Adele and Miss Femis were lying in the tent next to it. Miriam was helping Mrs. Adele change bandages and medicine..
As a housekeeper serving vampire nobles, Lady Adele will not be short of these first aid items in her psychic bag..
“Do you also have psychic talents?？”
Murphy saw Miriam take out several bottles of potions from Lady Adele's psychic bag. He stood a few steps away from the bonfire and said：
“I've never seen you cast a spell.”
“I can't cast spells. My psychic talent is too poor. Being able to open the psychic packet and activate the calculation orb is already the limit. But then again, aren't most people in this world like this?？”
Miriam said angrily：
“You have more or less psychic talent. When you were a child, you would dream of becoming a psychic master. But when you grow up, someone will tell you that you can’t even pass the primary examination of a psychic apprentice, so you learn a lot of useless things. Knowledge is not willing to go back to a small place and marry someone you don’t know..
So you can only bite the bullet and obey the adjustment, and finally be transferred to a major that you don’t even understand what it means..
In short, what I want to say is that some halfling professors who specialize in the phenomenon of 'psionic erosion' have written papers.
They say that we ordinary people, like those metals and objects that have been exposed to the psychic environment for a long time, will also be penetrated and corroded by psychic energy and thus change..
Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, everyone in the world will be able to release psychic powers at will..
But not yet.
The extent to which spiritual energy corrodes the human body is too weak. It is not as good as extraordinary creatures like you, who are born with the ability to establish a connection with spiritual energy..”
“That's not a good thing. I can hear some strange sounds every time I release my psychic powers, and I can even occasionally see strange pictures in my dreams..
It is said that it is a call from a spiritual source. Some say it comes from subspace..”
Murphy shook his head and said：
“Being too immersed in the mysteries of psychic powers can drive your mind crazy. This kind of supernatural power is never a simple blessing... How are the two of them doing?？”
“The eldest lady is okay, her severed hand has grown back, but Lady Adele is in terrible condition.”
Miriam sighed and said：
“The wolfsbane vampire injected some kind of toxin into her body. She has had a high fever for several hours and is almost dehydrated. I have no idea how to treat her..
perhaps...”
She looked up at Murphy and said irritably：
“Maybe you could turn her into a vampire here? In your words, first love? Using the power of another vampire to fight the malice another vampire used to kill her.
She's not a bad person！
Didn't she save you?？”
“Mrs. Adele is not my blood servant. I am not qualified to do this. This is not the rule of blood vultures..”
Murphy shook his head, glanced at the eldest lady in the other tent, and said：
“It seems it's time to wake her up.”
“That young lady must be very tired...”
Before Miriam finished speaking, her eyes widened as she saw Murphy casually popping up a ball of dark psychic energy and hitting Miss Femis on the face..
The latter immediately sat up after being attacked. Although his eyes were closed, he also made skillful defensive movements..
“you you you you...”
Stunned, Miriam exclaimed：
“That's your master! how dare you...”
“First of all, I have no master! Even if there is, it's not her.”
Murphy corrected her statement and looked at the embarrassed young lady who was rubbing her eyes and regaining consciousness..
He curved a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth in the darkness, and then looked at Mrs. Adele, who had saved his life before and was now in pain, coughed, and said in a deep voice：
“Secondly, touching loyalty should also be rewarded. As you said, we need to use the power of one vampire to fight against another.”
