Chapter 251 250 The Scarlet Archon and Her Advisors Returned with a Full Load

Chapter 251 250. The Scarlet Archon and her advisors who returned with a full load

That night, Murphy received a message from Miriam.

She had completed three days of negotiations with the financial representatives of the Nordtov Kingdom and signed a memorandum and a series of terms. She would set off to return to the Scarlet Castle after dinner tonight.

Murphy was quite satisfied with this.

The red-haired Miriam was getting more and more used to her role. The illegitimate daughter of the village chief who hated vampires could now serve as the representative of the vampire lord without any psychological barriers and truly participate in the "continental politics" that she thought was unattainable in the past.

Compared with her progress, the performance of himself, Maxim and Adele in the field of "progress" during this period was indeed a bit worrying.

So, is the legend true?

After becoming a vampire and being given eternal life by midnight, the talent of human beings to be smart and studious would be removed, and they would become lazy and sloppy like other extraordinary races?

No wonder I have no interest in complex psychic knowledge. After all this time, I changed my race and ended up wasting my learning ability.

Ah, it shouldn't be like this.

Murphy was a little sad, but he quickly cheered up. As usual, he reviewed the tasks assigned to the young players by the NPC today and began to patrol the territory at night.

The Dark Baronry, which had just been cleaned up, was no longer interesting. The situation in the Moreland Baronry, which was accurately hunted by the witch hunters, was also steadily improving, so Murphy went to the Lim Baronry.

He had no doubt about the enthusiasm of the young players to clean up the gnolls. Their resolute and serious work attitude could be seen from the constantly refreshing personal scoreboard.

An hour ago, Brother Cat, who was currently ranked first, had already broken through 1,300 points, and Sister Pomegranate, who followed closely behind, also reached 1,290 points.

The stable 10-point difference meant that the two guys must have reached some tacit agreement.

But Murphy didn't care.

He only looks at the results, not the process, and the little players are free in this world. As long as they don't do something unforgivable, Murphy doesn't plan to intervene too much in their gaming career.

However, this 1300 points is indeed a bit shocking.

With the current progress of the eleventh day of the gnoll hunting, it means that Brother Cat kills an average of 100 gnolls every day. Of course, it is definitely not calculated this way. His little players are more hunting elites and black iron individuals with more points, but even so, the killing efficiency is still terrifying.

They don't have decent hot weapons except for Molotov cocktails. They cut out this terrifying score one by one. It can only be said that Brother Cat and Sister Pomegranate are truly "Khorne's God Chosen".

But it doesn't seem particularly good for these two guys to always lead the way.

Perhaps I should introduce a "competition" mechanism appropriately when selecting little players next time?

Murphy thought that maybe he could recruit some real "professionals", such as the three guys with suspected official backgrounds lurking on the forum

Introducing official forces certainly means risks.

But this "risk" is not for Murphy. He believes that in the worst case, he will not be subject to cross-world law enforcement. The real risk will eventually be imposed on his own small players, which is what Murphy does not want to see.

Therefore, he should probably find a way to "contact" the authorities appropriately. When they realize that this is just a "game", many misunderstandings will have the possibility of further consultation.

As for what to do in the future, Murphy does not know.

He does not want to waste brain cells at this time, so he will take it one step at a time.

Moreover, the best advantage of introducing official forces is that it will have a steady stream of "professionals" entering its "talent pool". This is what "foreign world pioneering" should look like, right?

For example, these

The vampire lord flapped his wings and patrolled silently in the air. In the dark night below him stood several buildings that had been erected using the "mold manufacturing method".

That was the residential area that Old Chen had built for his five collective farms with plasterers and bricklayers. They were all square Khrushchev-style buildings, which did not consider beauty at all and only focused on practicality.

The villagers who were relocated here can still live in tents like real medieval people, but they will soon reach the living conditions of the 20th century.

According to the daily reports submitted by the civil servants of the Executive Yuan, it is estimated that the first batch of residents will move into the "residential buildings" over the Scarlet Castle in a few days.

The resettlement of the five collective farms will be a little later, and will be completed after the gnoll hunting activities are over. By then, the administrative players will really start their "village chief" career.

The first batch of food that Knight Palin and her "Bataxin Chamber of Commerce" are responsible for has been delivered to the Scarlet Castle, and then distributed to the collective farms by the administrative department.

Here, like the former survivor camp, the labor points and rationing system are implemented, and the curfew of the militia patrol makes the overall order here acceptable, but Murphy can still hear the uneasy voices of the hearts below when he passes over the farm.

The villagers here were forcibly relocated.

They did not "share hardships" with Murphy like the residents of the Scarlet Castle, and they were very uneasy about how the lord would deal with them.

On this continent, in this era, these lower-class residents live without dignity at all. They don't even bother to think about those issues. After all, just thinking about filling themselves and their families every day is already very hard.

but.

This is a good thing for the lord.

In Murphy's view, as long as the foundation is low enough, any improvement will make the people grateful.

If the vampire lord has learned something from his years of hard work in another life, it is that free things will never be cherished by anyone! Such as free breakfast, such as dog licking love.

He believes that perhaps his administrative players should learn this as well.

"This is the 'Transia Demonstration Area'."

Murphy spread his wings to fly higher, letting the vulture Reifnor follow him.

From a high altitude, he looked down at the five farms neatly arranged along the "main road" planned by Baron Lemm. On the land of Transia, which had no rules at all, such a small and neat piece of land looked out of place. But Old Chentou has already begun to make plans for the entire Earl of Cadman.

Murphy believed that the old professor would definitely design his territory to be very beautiful.

There will be beautiful scenery full of a sense of order and unity, and there will be humanistic care that far exceeds this era and this world.

That will be a solid rule built from the grassroots, which is Murphy's greatest source of confidence.

This is a dimensionality-reducing blow from civilization to civilization.

The future of Transia will be unlimited with the contribution of its little players. Of course, the premise is that you can lead them through this black disaster.

Ah, black disaster.

Just like young players who want to become strong must break through the Black Iron Trial, if the Transia they own wants to stand on the mainland stage again after having its spine broken, it must also survive this... Trial!

——

"It's so tiring dealing with these guys."

In the "City Hall" that had been renovated by the Chamber of Commerce in Batasin City, the very gorgeous Archon Miriam, wearing a red dress with her head tied up, returned to her resting seat with a glass of wine.

She complained to the smiling and extremely satisfied Mrs. Palian next to her:

"I really can't understand why these Yankees have to read a few sour poems before drinking. The poems written by Mr. Andrei are much better than what they wrote."

"This is their way of life, Lady Miriam, and this will be your way of life in the future."

Mrs. Palin shook her head and said:

"This circle has its own set of rules. I also find it very troublesome, but you have to admit that compared to the quarrels at the negotiation table, these Yankees are obviously more relaxed in this situation."

"I'm still not used to it."

Miriam pouted and said:

"If you say this is a noble, no, it's not! After all, I have never seen this kind of problem in Mrs. Tracey and Mr. Murphy. It is said that those two were nobles before they became vampires?"

"Well, gossiping about the superiors is not what we should do."

Mrs. Palin grinned and said:

“Of course I also think my lord is different, in every way.

It has been a month since the Scarlet Castle stood, but apart from a simple celebration, our lord did not even hold a banquet in his castle, and Grand Duke Tris had no complaints about this.

This is obviously different from the rumored vampires who like luxury and social interaction. "

"So is there a possibility that Murphy doesn't hold a reception because he and Tris are very poor and there is no castle that can be used as a reception venue?"

Miriam said something witty, causing Mrs. Palin to cover her mouth and chuckle.

Although this action looks awkward due to her large and thick body, with Ms. Palian's current status in Bataxin City, no blind guy dares to come and accuse her.

While the two were talking, Professor Malcolm, also dressed very well and holding a cane, also walked over with a glass of wine.

The professor is a man who has seen the world, and he often participated in such occasions when he was in Port Chardeau.

Tonight's drinking party reminded him of the past, but it also made the professor, who was no longer young, a little overwhelmed.

He sat next to Miriam, looked at his wife who was dancing with a strong, bear-like Yankee representative on the dance floor in front of him, and sighed:

"Funa seems to be enjoying this relaxed life after a long absence. My wife, who has accumulated too much dissatisfaction, just told me that she wants to live in Batasin City with her two children. The environment here is better than the Scarlet Castle. "

"I welcome your wife to settle here. I will arrange a safe and comfortable residence for her and your children."

Mrs. Paleon said immediately, but Professor Malcolm shook his head and said:

“I refused, so she was so angry that she danced in front of me with that rude Yankee who always made fun of my legs and my walk during the negotiations.

But don't worry.

This is just Funa's little emotion causing trouble.

She is also a member of the faculty of the Université Chardeau Artisans, where she will soon serve as Senior Secretary of the Administration.

So she knew why I turned her down.

The city of Batasin is very good. Your Chamber of Commerce has managed the place quite well, and the restarted business with the Kingdom of Nordtov is destined to make the place prosperous again. However, the Scarlet Castle needs us more.

I also don’t want my children to miss witnessing the whole process of the birth of a city and a regime. When they grow up, they will realize what a rich spiritual wealth this is. "

"You always have such strict requirements on yourself and your family, Professor. Ms. Funa has stayed with you and suffered for many years. As far as I am concerned, it is actually a normal demand for her to want a relaxed life."

Miriam whispered:

"Aren't you afraid that Ms. Funa will really be seduced by that Yankee? She is a noble earl with family territory. It is said that his wife just died. She will be like a male bear in heat."

"I will also be a count in the future, if I want to."

Professor Malcolm shrugged. Under the influence of alcohol, this scholar who had seen the vicissitudes of life said with a slightly frivolous smile:

"Governor Murphy is a very generous ruler. The best thing is that he knows people well and makes good use of them. I even think that as long as I am willing to nod and become a member of the Blood Vulture Clan, he can even directly get me the title of Duke.

But we all know that those luxurious titles are just for our own entertainment so far.

Actually, there is another reason why I don't want to leave Scarlet Castle.

I don't want to interrupt my studies. "

"Study?"

The two ladies almost choked at this reason.

They looked at the middle-aged professor in surprise. Although Professor Malcolm was not truly top-notch in terms of reputation or knowledge in the mainland scholar circle, having such knowledge at his age was obviously destined to gain fame in the future.

From the perspective of Miriam and Mrs. Paleon, they really can't imagine what Professor Malcolm could learn in the ruins of the Scarlet Castle that are being rebuilt?

The latter took a sip of wine, and under the gaze of his students and colleagues, he said quite seriously:

“Yes, studies!

I'm learning from Lord Murphy's warriors. The knowledge they bring is a completely different history. For example, I made a small deal with the 'Water Lady' and 'Professor Chen'.

I will choose a shop in the city for that charming and wise lady and support the alien aesthetic style and design concepts she wants to collect. I will also try to collect as many architecture-related classics as possible for the mature and steady professor in exchange for it. , they would take the time to teach me some of the history they both knew.

The descriptions of the two people are slightly different, but comparing them allows me to see the real history that happened in another world.

Maybe I am too dull, I have just learned about ‘Homer’s Epic’ and ‘Beacon Fire Plays with the Princes’.

I hope my wife can forgive me, but the truth is, I really don’t want to miss those wonderful and charming era epics.

Can you imagine? Miriam.

That’s more than five thousand years of history, and they really happened in another world! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It would break my heart to miss it, even if it is a piece of historical material that can never be made public on this continent.

But it can still allow us to learn many, many truths from it. "

"for example?"

Miriam knew that her adjutant professor had been communicating with young players in this regard, so she asked curiously. Professor Malcolm glanced at her and said softly:

"For example, I finally realized what kind of country Master Murphy wants to build Transia into. He has a closer connection with his warriors, so he knows more than me. He has learned more about other worlds than me. I'm deeper.

I can't yet summarize what Transia looks like in Murphy's eyes, but I have to admit that I am already fascinated by him.

I am already fascinated by what the future holds for this land.

This will be the place where two worlds and two civilizations meet!

It will undoubtedly become the center of the continent and the world! And I will be the recorder of this 'Transian Epic'. The changes I record will eventually become legends among children as time goes by, and will be upgraded to be experienced by mortals after you and I disappear from history. And record the myth! "

"Frankly speaking, I think you are crazy. Maybe it's because you drank too much tonight."

Miriam complained softly:

"Some of my immature actions and words made Maxim keep scolding me as a coward who wanted to escape from my hometown, but in my opinion, you have been too obsessed with history that does not belong to us.

You have gone too far on the road of 'betraying your hometown'.

After all, no matter how glorious the past was, it still belongs to others."

"I would rather call it 'assimilation' than betrayal, and this is just the beginning. We are all being assimilated, Miriam, you just don't feel it."

The middle-aged professor raised his glass and said with a relaxed expression:

"But there is nothing to be ashamed of! The weak learn from the strong to become strong. We already have a more wonderful example than the Kingdom of Plantagenet to follow. Well, our warriors seem to be in trouble."

Miriam followed Professor Malcolm's gaze and saw that the warriors she had chosen as advisors were being "harassed" by the women brought by the Yankees at the edge of the reception wearing blood vulture ceremonial uniforms.

Young people are somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Although they are obviously vampires, they still have a crimson complexion and a youthful attitude, while veterans like Brother Ming Miao and Yan Sang have elegantly invited two ladies with at least D+ to enter the dance floor.

Although they can't do anything, this does not prevent the sluts from enjoying the "exotic style" brought to them by this game.

As Murphy said, their lives here are free.

"Miriam, those children"

Professor Malcolm looked at the student gang who were being "harassed" and he laughed when he saw the handsome and talented Che Che being sandwiched between two girls.

He said:

"The knowledge each of them has mastered is enough to make them outstanding teaching assistants at Chardeau Artisan University, but they always laugh at themselves as 'poor students', and in the past few days of getting along, they will always inadvertently This time exposed their confusion about the future and anxiety about competition.

Do you know what this means? "

The professor asked a question, and Miriam thought for a moment like a student.

Then she replied:

"This means that even those who can crush the financial representative of the Kingdom of Nordtov in the economic field with so-called 'basic knowledge' are just ordinary people in their hometown.

This can also reflect from the side that their hometown is unimaginable in terms of knowledge transfer and talent education. Their general education has developed to a level that seems to me like a god.

But hungry people are not in the mood or have the energy to study. They are still full-time students in their twenties, which is enough to prove that the world over there has been freed from the constant invasion of famine, war and disease.

No!

It can even be said that they have defeated the evil intentions of the world, and they have been able to dominate the changes in their world with their own will.

Ah, I probably understand where your previous obsession came from.

What a wonderful world it would be like, I can't even imagine it. "

"It stems from the crushing of civilization level."

The professor lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, as if he wanted to get drunk on the night.

He said softly:

"I'm glad now that this 'power' is only in the hands of Lord Murphy, and he doesn't have the ability to really open a door connecting the two worlds.

The future of Transia is destined to be extremely brilliant, Miriam.

This is the favor that fate has bestowed upon you. You must keep learning. Maybe in the future, you will become a pivotal figure in our history. Maybe in the future, the two worlds will truly come into contact, and you

You and Mr. Murphy will be our representatives!

You must understand the great responsibility you have. You cannot even have the slightest time to stop and breathe. I even pity you, child, but I also feel honored for you. You will be my most outstanding student, and you will It is the pride of Chardoux Artisan University.

none of them! "
