43.Side mission: Maxim’s Strong Challenge (page 1/2)
“Sir, I think the rumors seem to be a bit off....”
In the ruins of the city shrouded in the shadow of the astral realm, Murphy and Maxim quickly rushed across the dead streets to the family warehouse in the outer city..
During the march, Maxim, who was holding a war spear, looked around vigilantly to prepare for an attack and whispered to Murphy.：
“Lady Tris doesn't seem to be as strong as rumored...I mean, she's pretty strong! She is even more powerful than Lord Jade. After being rescued from the city by you, she seems to have regained her former majesty as an elder..”
“I don’t know what happened, but what is certain is that Tris definitely doesn’t like this city..”
Murphy sighed and said：
“She regards this place as a constraint. To put it bluntly, after seeing Cadman City being destroyed with our own eyes, Tris and I are probably the only two Blood Vulture members who feel relaxed..
Does this make you feel uncomfortable?？”
“No, my lord, my loyalty is to you, not to the Blood Eagle Clan..”
Maxim replied in a low voice.：
“In fact, I don't feel much happiness when I serve the Blood Eagle Clan. I must repay Master Jed's kindness, but other than that, this family doesn't seem to give me anything worth remembering..”
“Actually, I'm the same way. No wonder we are so close to each other..”
Murphy replied.
The two fell into silence and stopped talking. They walked quickly. After passing through an alley occupied by a community of astral salamanders that did not actively attack, the two arrived at the family warehouse marked by Tris. Location.
it's underground.
The surface is masked as Cadman City’s human fire station..
There are three similar underground warehouses in the outer city, but except for this one, which is relatively remote, the other warehouses are located in densely populated areas, which must have been occupied by fear tokens in the astral shadow and predatory astral beasts..
Murphy plans to use the remaining three warehouses as "challenge locations" for young players to compete in.
Five dead players will be resurrected tonight, so that he can have 16 manpower, divided into three groups, just enough to do a simple "dungeon test"”.
“Looks like we need to recruit another group of people..”
While Maxim was searching for the underground passage in the messy fire station, Murphy looked at the dim and gloomy environment outside the collapsed walls and the weird sky above him that was still twinkling with purple light, and he thought：
“At present, the total manpower I have on hand is 40. There is no need to keep any more. I can release them all at once..
After Cadman City was dragged into the Star Boundary, there are many areas worth exploring in the remaining ruins. Without the number of people, it is simply not enough. There are also novice guidance tasks in the sixth ring..
This mission requires me to get my own territory.
I thought I could have a relationship with the eldest lady before, but now it seems I have a better and more difficult choice....
The Blood Eagle Clan is hopeless！
Although there is only ruins left here, there are people, supplies, and "monster spawning points" that can last for a long time. This may be the best "newbie village" I can find in the Transia region.’！
But how it works requires careful planning..”
Murphy thought about the next step, then logged into the forum.
In the application area, he saw many test applications, but they basically came from "word of mouth" from existing small players.”.
《"Real World" has not been announced in the player world at all, and Murphy has no intention of doing so and has no channels to do so. He briefly browsed the nearly 80 test applications currently available and selected them based on their test application scores. The 24 people with the best overall qualities were selected, and then the test invitation codes were sent to them..
In this way, in 12 hours at the latest, a new batch of cute little players will enter the ruins of Cadman City to act as the "foot man pioneer team" that descends from the sky in critical moments..
Oh, right！
In order to make this look more like the game is gradually starting to be officially tested, Murphy felt that he needed to post a more formal announcement on the forum..
I'll post it after I finish the underground warehouse in front of me.！
“Lord Murphy! The entrance has been found, but the blood of a member of the Blood Vulture clan is needed as a beacon to enter..”
Maxim's voice came from the ruined archives room. Murphy rushed over immediately, bit his finger behind the pushed-away filing cabinet, and dotted the blood on the center of the dark red spell on the wall..
With a clicking sound and a flickering light, the passage to the underground opens..
He and his loyal servants entered it one after another.
This is not the real family treasure house. As one of the seven vampire clans, no matter how downcast the Blood Eagle is, its family treasure house cannot be so shabby..
This is just a place to store some important but not scarce supplies, so there are no structures like gargoyles or psychic guards that are used as "professional security" on the mainland..
The area below is not big, and the whole area is similar to the fire station above..
It is divided into different rooms to store different supplies, mostly raw materials used to make weapons and armor, and some finished products placed in cabinets..
Murphy opened a cabinet and took out a vampire stabbing sword decorated with blood rose patterns and checked it in his hand..
Item identification starts and the information label pops up：
Name: Guardian Glaive
Quality: Seiko·Xinbing
Characteristics: Enhanced sharpness, enhanced puncture, toughness and durability, insidious blood tank (can quench poison）
Conditions of use: Talent·One-handed weapon mastery, dexterity≥6
Item description：
【The forger of the Blood Vulture Clan is an elite weapon specially made for the family's new recruits. It is sharp and deadly and is very suitable for use by Blood Servant soldiers who have mastered the Blood Vulture Swordsmanship and Advanced Swordsmanship. This weapon has been ranked among the "Cadman City Finger Protection Association" all year round. Number one on the complaint list because it does require a little bit of skill to use.】
Murphy took out another vampire-style one-handed hunting crossbow and checked it in his hand..
It was also a finely crafted weapon for new recruits, which made him nod with satisfaction..
These weapons are exquisitely crafted with special characteristics. Both the craftsmanship and materials are obviously much better than the whiteboard retinue weapons currently used by players..
It can be given to them as mission rewards or new gameplay rewards..
Maxim found a whole box of armor for elite recruits that had not yet been painted in another house, which made Murphy even more satisfied. Since the Blood Vulture Clan is no longer a thing of the past, it is just a good idea to take these things and paint them yourself. Draw a clear line with the past.
He threw four psychic bags to Maxim and told him to put them in, and then he continued to explore deeper..
The Elder Armor given to him by Tris is a masterclass and commander-level advanced spiritual protective equipment, which means that for a long time, Murphy will have a hard time finding better equipment than "Mrs. Tris's Original Elder Armor". So his next goal is to find usable equipment for Maxim, Miriam and Lady Adele.
The three of them are now the "three generals" under Murphy, and they must be well armed..
Tris also said that there may be advanced skill manuals in this vault for the elites of the family to learn. This is also an important goal of Murphy..
Blood Vulture Swordsmanship is only the most basic skill. It is impossible for him to lead the young players to continue fighting with this thing. Fortunately, there is no special hidden room in the basement, so Murphy quickly found the library and put it on a bookshelf. I have a few books that I can tell are very old just by looking at the material..
He took it off, held it in his hand and read through it：
《Tomb Sword Guard Training Code", "Blood Torture Master's Notes", "Nightwalker Secret Code Volume 1", "Detailed Explanation of the Way of Midnight Hunting"》
The books in my hand, which are obviously copied, respectively represent the professional system that the Blood Eagle Clan has had in its long history..
Murphy could tell that they represented the career paths of swordsman, psionicist, assassin, and hunter. Of course, in this real world, there are not such clear and strict career divisions..
As long as you have enough energy, a swordsman can also delve into psychic skills..
However, these books for "job change" are of great significance to young players. Murphy knows very well how enthusiastic those "powerful party" are in studying game professions and play styles..
Maybe I can translate part of it and put it on the forum to satisfy those "little bystanders" who have passed the test application but can't get the invitation code for the time being..
etc.！
Why translate it yourself?？
Murphy blinked..
The little players are so energetic, and now that they have the Calculation Orbs, they can definitely do this on their own..
It not only deepens the stickiness of the game, but also saves them from having to find work for themselves..
