Chapter 148 147 Gan Linniang's Thorn Clan! Are You Trying to Take Advantage of Someone's Misfortune?
Chapter 148 147. Gan Lin Niang's Thorn Clan! Taking advantage of the situation and poaching people, right?
Murphy soon received the reports sent back by his loyal and brave little players.
This made him feel satisfied with his reasonable use of the psychic computing orb again, and he admired in his heart that no matter which world it was, the development of science and technology was indeed the primary productive force. But the content of the report written by Brother Wu Miao himself did not make Murphy happy.
"Traces of other vampire clans appeared in Transia? They are also secretly gathering the Blood Eagle traitors. What are they doing? Are they preparing to take advantage of the situation and rob people? Haha, they are worthy of being vampires.
The technique of internal fighting is really perfect."
Murphy stood up and sneered. He was not surprised at all that other clans took advantage of the situation and robbed people. When he was a senior social animal before, he had dealt with headhunters. He knew that the first step of the so-called "high-end business war" often started with large-scale poaching of friendly companies.
However, as a new vampire, his knowledge of other clans is currently limited to the Wolf Poison Clan, which he had fought with, and the Blood Alliance Knights, which had helped him.
When encountering such troubles, he had to seek advice from the knowledgeable mother Tris.
Murphy left the office and knocked on the door of the next room again.
Yes, the offices of the Grand Duke of Blood Eagle and Earl Cadman were so close, but what did not surprise him at all was that the Grand Duke of Blood Eagle, who was supposed to be at work at this time, "disappeared" again.
"Alas"
The vampire lord felt so tired.
It was really hard to meet a boss who liked to skip work, and it was even harder to be nervous. He actually fell in love with such a female fairy who was a headache in all aspects.
But now that things have come to this, what else can he do?
Murphy closed his eyes and connected to the vision of the blood-eating spirit vulture Ravno, and soon found Tris, who was slacking off, in a corner outside the ruins of Cadman City.
As expected, the vampire, the useless man of the Golden Order, was hiding in an abandoned tower, drinking and watching the scenery, with a few side dishes at hand, and he was enjoying himself.
"Hua La La"
With the sound of the wings folding, the fierce blood-eating vulture landed beside the drunken Tris, and was immediately noticed by the Grand Duchess.
After seeing that Murphy's "eyes" had discovered her, Tris stood up and threw out a scarlet psychic portal to run away, but the next second an arrow flew over and tore the portal open.
As the huge bat wings folded, Murphy, with a gloomy face, had already landed on the edge of the tower and hung the exquisite and luxurious miser hunting crossbow in his hand back to his waist.
"Hehe"
Tris laughed dryly twice and hid the half bottle of wine in her hand behind her.
She thought she would be scolded by little Murphy again, but Murphy got straight to business.
"The territory of the Blood Eagle has been invaded, Your Excellency, this is your responsibility."
The Vampire Lord projected the psychic image attached to the player's report on his palm, and pointed to the badge and said:
"This is the badge of the Thorn Clan, right?"
"Well, Nightthorn, also known as Vampire Vine, is indeed the emblem of the Blood Thorn Clan. Considering that the name of the clan "Bloodthorn" is not very nice, everyone started calling them the Thorn Clan a long time ago."
Mother Tris also explained the origin of the name of her clan to the Vampire Lord.
She didn't take it as a big deal, leaning against the tower in a relaxed manner, and said casually:
"The territory of the Thorn Clan is under the White Mountain on the southern border of Nordtov, a little far from Transya, but it is not surprising that they would come here at this time to gather rebellion.
After all, the Thorn Clan is the loser of the ancient Holy Blood War.
After the defeat, they were expelled from the center of the fertile continent and could only live in a corner of the territory of the northerners. The situation did not get better until the establishment of the Kingdom of Nordtov. It is said that the Thorn Clan served the descendants of the hero king Boris in the war when the Nords conquered the Great Wilderness.
If you have to say, the Thorn Clan is probably the one with the most harmonious and closest relationship with human civilization among all the clans, but it is also the one with the deepest resentment towards other vampire clans.
Their ancestral precepts are to take back everything they lost in the Holy Blood War.
Therefore, absorbing traitors from other clans to rebel is also what the Thorn Clan likes to do most, and their clan seems to be cursed by something dirty. Every great All the dukes died in an accident, and none of them could live peacefully for 300 years.
I still remember when I was still in my prime, they had just elected the fourth Grand Duchess of Thorns. What was her name? Sophia?
Or Mary?
Oh, yes, Sophie!
Her name is Sophie, one of my best friends. ”
“The Holy Blood War, that was eight hundred years ago, right?”
Murphy frowned and said:
“The Blood Eagle Library doesn’t seem to have more records of this incident, but only briefly mentioned that it was a war between the seven vampire clans. The first clan war that broke out?"
"Who did you learn the history of the blood clan from?"
Tress rolled her eyes and corrected:
"There are six clans! The Mad Blood Clan was sealed in the Scarlet Holy Land deep in the Dark Mountains before the beginning of the era. It is also the origin of all vampires. The Blood Alliance Knights constantly patrol around the Dark Mountains to look after the Holy Blood Seal.
Every hundred years, the leaders of the other five clans must return to the Scarlet Holy Land of Origin under the leadership of Lord Paying to reinforce the seal. That is also a major event for the entire vampire clan.
Moreover, the "Holy Blood War" that started in the 300th year of the era and ended in the 400th year did not involve the Macavians of the Secret Blood Clan.
They claimed to be blood recorders and never participated in the disputes of other clans. Apart from the Blood Alliance Knights who had always existed as arbitrators, the so-called Holy Blood War actually occurred between the four clans of Blood Eagle, Blood Fear, Thorn and Wolf Poison.
It was a conflict that broke out for the central area of the continent that was still in the clan civilization at that time and the "blood food".
I don't know much about the specific process.
It was too long ago.
But the final result was that Blood Eagle, Blood Fear and Wolf Poison reached an agreement. The three cunning and powerful patriarchs, Sarokdar, Charlemagne and Edward, who were still very young at the time, united and ambushed and killed the ancient patriarch of the Thorn Clan, Talma Oksana Torreze, at the Red Sea Cliff in the Ice Bay area.
The battle of the fall of the ancients directly led to the loss of the Thorn Clan's holy relic "Fallen Virtue" in the cold wave of the North Sea.
The remaining Thorn Clan should have been exterminated, but Lord Paying came forward to save them, and those poor people were driven into the wilderness of the bitter cold land by their malicious fellows.
They settled under the White Mountain.
Since then, they have lived there and formed a small principality until now. ”
Triss told the ancient history in the tone of a historian. At the end of the story, she also talked about a legend that was only circulated in a small range within the blood clan.
The blood-eating female fairy said in a very gossipy tone:
“It is said that the original identity of the ancient leader of the Thorn Clan, Talma Oksana Torize, was the ‘ex-girlfriend’ of our old leader Sarokdar. The struggle for power turned the two against each other.
Maybe there was still affection between them.
When Sarokdar shed tears of blood and stabbed Oksana’s heart with necessary evil, the desperate ancient cursed his former lover loudly.
She said that Sarokdar and his accomplices would end up in despair as the end of their eternal life, and they would not even have the gift of eternal silence.
She also cursed, "Whoever takes my blood today will be pierced through the heart by the evil blade in the future."
The good news is that the curse came true.
But unfortunately, the prophecy came true hundreds of years later.
Charlemagne Molva Giovanni, the patriarch of the Blood Fear Clan, one of the murderers, died in the Sunburn executed by Lord Paying himself because of summoning the warp rift during the Second Night War.
Lord Paying is obviously a person with a strong sense of ritual.
The execution site he chose for Charlemagne happened to be the Red Sea Cliff where Oksana was ambushed and killed, and Sarokdar, who betrayed his lover for power and food, did die under the evil blade of the Desire Blade Necessary that killed Oksana.
So, this thing is actually very metaphysical."
"Well, I think it's good to just listen to this kind of thing. If the ancient curse is really that powerful, it doesn't have to wait for eight hundred years to backfire on the murderer. Besides, isn't old Edward, one of the murderers, still alive and well? "
Murphy shook his head.
Although he was a "feudal superstitious" creature, he obviously didn't care much about unscientific things like curses. To be precise, he believed in the existence of curse-based psychic spells, but he didn't believe that a curse could affect the direction of fate.
Wouldn't it seem that dominating everyone's "fate" was too cheap?
After listening to the story about the past of the Thorn Clan, Murphy asked:
"So with your knowledge, how should we respond to this kind of thing now?"
"It depends on your thoughts."
Tracey brushed her long hair and drank a sip of wine, waved her hand and said:
"If you can bear this breath, negotiate with the Thorn Clan. They have already embraced the royal family of the Nordtoff Kingdom, and the resources they can mobilize are very rich. Maybe you can use the lives of the traitors to gain some benefits for your territory.
If you can't bear this breath.
Just kill them!
Without the permission of the Grand Duke of another clan, rashly entering the territory of another clan and seducing the rebels can be punished with the most cruel punishment of sunburn in the vampire's escapist code.
Although we regard cunning as a tradition and cold-bloodedness as a virtue, betrayal is another concept.
No clan can tolerate betrayal!
That will destroy the foundation of a family's existence. Even if Lord Paying comes in person, he will not accuse you of cruelty. You and I can even use this as an excuse to start a clan war and start the second Holy Blood War ourselves.
Of course, the premise is that you must be able to beat the messenger sent by the Thorn Clan.
I guess that guy dared to make trouble at this time, and he must have something to rely on.
But Murphy, I guess this incident may not represent the intention of the Grand Duke of Thorn.
You have to understand that in a complete family, vampires always create many factions, and the faction leaders have a certain degree of freedom to act. For example, small-scale things like seducing other clans to rebel do not necessarily have to be reported to the clan leader for decision. "
"I understand. "
Murphy nodded.
"So, what I'm going to do next is the counterattack of the Earl Cadman faction of the Blood Eagle Clan against the ignorant leader of the Thorn Clan. It has nothing to do with my noble and charming Grand Duchess Lady Tris.
I understand. "
Murphy smiled and said goodbye to Tris gently.
Tris nodded, but the next moment Murphy strode up and snatched the bottle of wine from her hand, and scolded her again:
"After you finish the business, get back to work! There are so many things in the family waiting for you to make a decision. Have you made the plan for next month? Have you written the work summary for this month? The family personnel appointment has not been issued yet!
You are still in the mood to come here to fish? Do you believe that your clan leader allowance for this month will be stopped?"
"Don't! I just ordered a batch of high-quality ice and fire wine from the wine merchant in Ice Bay, and I am waiting for the salary to be paid. I have never owed anyone money for wine! In this regard, I, Tris, am a well-known person!"
Tris cried out.
"Please put your well-known reputation on the business, okay?"
Murphy urged.
Under the stern gaze of Lord Earl Cadman, the guilty Grand Duke Blood Eagle had to open the psychic transmission to the office, muttering about being stingy while disappearing in front of Murphy.
How can this be a Scarlet Witch who was almost 500 years old and once dominated the world?
The Lord sighed, threw the bottle in his hand away, and spread his wings to glide back to the Blood Eagle Corridor in the evening.
His housekeeper, intelligence chief Adele and her three fully armed children were waiting for him here.
Murphy opened his arms and let Lady Adele come forward to put on the low-key black and red swordsman light armor for him, and the scarlet midnight cloak was also tied on his shoulders. The Demon Sword of Necessity on his waist smelled the breath of war and began to hum.
Murphy held it down and said to Adele:
"Call Maxim, you two bring your children with me to Batasinn. There are many things to do in the territory, so we must finish them and return within one night. In addition, let the blood servants prepare the crosses for the sunburn punishment.
Prepare ten first, and we will deal with them later if they are not enough."
"Master, are you going to kill them this time?"
Adele asked softly:
"Are the targets those Thorn members who crossed the border?"
"No, they are reserved for traitors."
Murphy shook his head and corrected :
"As for those uninvited guests, their lives may have some other uses besides turning into ashes in the sunlight, so, by the way, prepare a place for our guests to live. Three cages.
I think it should be enough."
--
"In the name of Lord Murphy! You, the traitor, will be punished with eternal silence!"
Outside a village in the dark night, the Blood Eagle Swordsman Aza, who is proficient in double-blade combat, shouted in a pretentious manner, and then used both swords to nail the terrified vampire in front of him to the ground.
Behind Aza, other little players are "dealing with" the other seven vampire traitors.
Although it is already dark, these midnight clans will be blessed by the Mother of Night, but the little players are not the rookies of the past. After the difficult battles like the Blood Eagle Corridor, it is not a big problem to deal with these professional vampires.
They have the advantage of numbers and the professional configuration is quite good.
More importantly, as an alchemist apprentice, Haogege had already learned how to configure the daylight potion and other things that weaken vampires from the witch hunters.
Hey, we, the blood servants loyal to Lord Murphy, use the witch hunters' methods to deal with you, the disloyal vampires!
This sounds exciting!
"These vampires on the edge of the family are not as strong as we imagined. Even if they have advantages in attributes, their fighting skills are simply terrible. They can only scare people with their vampire identity.
Tsk, I worried for nothing.
I thought they were all tough guys like Maxim and Madame Adele."
In the threshing ground outside the village, Hao Gege, who had won another surprise attack, said to Wu Miaoge beside him:
"With such little strength, they dare to betray the family like others? Who gave them the courage!"
"It has been said that they colluded with foreign enemies, colluded with the family called Thorn Clan, and it must be the new master who gave them orders to lurk here and try to cause trouble.
Pah!
A wild dog that doesn't know its master but runs around outside should be hit hard on the head with a mace!"
Cuckoo Chicken, who was about to become a "senior blood essence", spat with disdain. He was about to chat with Hao Gege and mix a few bottles of healing potions on his body to save his life, but he suddenly heard screams from the village behind him.
"Everyone, block outside! Quick!"
A few seconds later, Sister Pomegranate's angry shout came from the team channel:
"There is a Thorn Clan traitor hiding here! He is at the Black Iron level, but he can't fly! He can't run far, chase him and kill him! That bastard just bit a girl in the village."
"Damn! What a disgusting thing!"
The little players were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
Several hunters immediately released reconnaissance to search outside, determined to put this blood clan scum to death.
The fleeing Thorn Vampire was not a very powerful character, and was soon surrounded by the little players at a riverside.
Seeing these armed blood servants wearing the Blood Eagle Clan emblems surrounding them murderously, the Thorn Vampire holding a blade whip immediately raised his hand and shouted:
"I want to see your elders! I want to negotiate! As the eternal sinner, this is the power given to me by the Midnight Mother!"
"What the hell is he yelling? It doesn't seem to be a local dialect?"
The bionic snail holding the spear asked.
The Wumiao brother next to him pretended not to see the translation of the player interface and said coldly:
"He is calling us wild dogs and insulting Mr. Murphy and Ms. Trish. He is so brave! Kill him!"
"Wait! Don't kill him, tie him up."
Orchid's voice reminded faintly in the team channel:
"It is said that vampires have a punishment called sunburn. As a traveler who is very curious about the customs of various places, I want to see it with my own eyes. Brothers, please. In addition, the girl who was bitten just now could not be saved."
"Oh, I see."
Brother Wu Miao responded and said to Lao Qu and Brother Hei Si who clenched their fists beside him:
"What are you standing there for? Go chop wood!"
"Ah? What are you chopping wood for?"
"To make a cross! I read in "A Brief History of the Blood Clan" that the punishment of sunburn must be paired with that thing to be authentic and flavorful."
