Chapter 508 507 The Holy Blood Festival Is Approaching and the First Festival Event Is Ready to Start!
Chapter 508 507. The Festival of Holy Blood is approaching·The first festival event is ready to go!
"The number of alien warriors currently fighting in Transia is 617. Counting the 300 people who will get helmets in three days and the 200 independent recruitment quotas in the hands of the student party, at the end of next week, our warriors will finally Will break through the 1,000-person mark.
In the next month or so, I will distribute all the quotas on hand until the number of players is once again saturated. Currently, the number of residents managed by Transia has exceeded 220,000, which is 2,200 people. "
In Archon Miriam's office, Murphy was "checking accounts" with Miriam, while Tris stood by the office window and looked at the gloomy sky today.
His Excellency the Grand Duke thinks that a second snow may fall in Transia in a few days.
The snowfall this time will be more intense than before. In previous seasons, this kind of weather would have been difficult, but the first snowfall has proved that at least near Scarlet Castle, simple cold is no longer fatal.
Faced with Murphy's description, the Scarlet Archon shook her head. She opened her work notes and turned to the page recording population changes, and said to Murphy:
"The actual number is more than you expected, because the serfs in the Kafhoka area are being sent to Transia. Although this was just a private agreement between Lao Huo of Booty Bay and the Yankee merchants at the beginning, the previous That snow did us a big favor.
The pace of late winter is getting more and more urgent, and landless farmers with nowhere to go are spontaneously moving to Transia.
Yesterday, two boatloads of farmers were sent to the dock in Under Armor Hills. They have been sent to Stromgarde and are undergoing quarantine and registration.
I originally thought this was a completely spontaneous self-rescue operation, but last night a Torrent Knight sent information that the farmers were seduced by the vampires of the Thorn Clan, and there were more farmers and homeless people on the docks of Burnie City. Waiting to be transported.
Madam Shani didn't seem to want to see so many people freeze to death this winter, so she helped us secretly. Count Andre also didn't want to see his people die in the cold winter, so he also sent himself The faction secretly helps.
But to be honest, I don’t think this is the discovery of the vampire Archduke’s conscience.
Mrs. Shani's intention is probably to stabilize the situation in the Kafhoka area as soon as possible. She threw all these unstable factors to us, and the Winter Wolf Legion is also happy to see these refugees sent away.
They even sent people to maintain order at the port of Burnie City, and gave the refugees enough hard bread to eat for three days.
The Grand Duke of Thorns and General Baldwin know very well that we are the only force near the Kafhoka Great Plains that can receive so many refugees and resettle them properly. They may feel that the resettlement of so many refugees will bring a huge burden to us.
Or, they are actually using this method to achieve the purpose of strengthening Transia. To put it simply, they are sending us cannon fodder.
What a cruel political method. "
"But we still want to express our gratitude to Shani."
Murphy whispered:
"No matter what her reasons are for pushing forward with this matter, it will not be harmful to us. Of course, this also means that the Blood Vulture Clan owes a favor to the Thorn Clan. Can Stromgarde eat these people?"
"Can."
Miriam replied:
"The administrative and logistics teams of Stromgarde are very professional. They were busy from noon to midnight yesterday. Not only did they not cause congestion at the dock, they even set up temporary gathering areas and dedicated designated areas for the farmers who came from afar. Quarantine area.
Even without our dispatch, the Torrent Knights took the initiative to contact the witch hunters in Moreland Village to carry out large-scale disease dispersal and plague detection.
Based on the professionalism shown by these logistics knights, I am confident enough that they can accept more landless farmers into the vicinity of their stronghold. I have seen the form they sent, and I have to say that they put this data into statistics. Playing becomes an art.
too professional
However, His Excellency Knight Serac Fender, who is in charge of the general logistics of the Torrent Knights, needs us to provide more food and gray tents and fuel for building the camp. This is understandable. I have made arrangements and Xiao Wan will go there in person. Pressure the battle.
He was born in the Kafhoka area and is quite familiar with the situation there, so there should be no problems. "
"So, with the continuous influx of these landless refugees, little Murphy's expectation of having 3,000 warriors before the Black Disaster arrives will no longer be a luxury, right?"
Tris turned around and asked. The Archon thought for a moment and said:
"With the addition of these refugees, and the continuous introduction of more mountain tribes from the Sachs area in the Ancestral Woodland, it may be difficult to increase the number of 80,000 people in less than two months. But when the war really started, the 3,000 foreigners The formation of the human army is indeed not a big problem.
After all, we have to stop the Jackals on the front line of Barren Mountain.
There is still a little buffering period before they rush into the Filth Swamp and Transia. "
"Very good, then I will continue to trouble you in the next period of time, Miriam."
Murphy said warmly:
"At the end of the year, I will give generous rewards to civil servants who have worked hard for many months. I think the promotion list at the end of this year may be appropriately expanded. During the war years, we were unable to give more material rewards to the hard-working staff. , then spiritual satisfaction and affirmation must be appropriately tilted.
For example, we can discuss the promotion of the titles of our first administrative knights if they want fiefs.
And this.
Although you have been reluctant to tell me your birthday, I guess you don't have the idea of holding a birthday celebration for yourself this year, so I brought the gift I prepared for you directly. "
Murphy patted the box at hand, which contained a set of "Walker" personal protective equipment.
He said to the surprised Miriam:
"I don't allow you to refuse this gift. It can help you avoid many dangers, and it is not difficult to operate. Tris will teach you how to use it tonight."
"Okay."
Miriam brushed her hair, glanced at Murphy, and said softly:
"But my birthday has passed long ago, Governor, the day before we met in Moreland Village, that is, the day when my hometown was slaughtered. Alas, that was really the worst birthday I have ever had in my life.
But let's not talk about these sad things, let's take a look at my plan for the Holy Blood Festival.
There are only five days left before the most important festival of the year for vampires. I think it may be difficult for us to make it grand. "
"No need."
Murphy rejected the plan handed over by Miriam. He stood up and said with a smile on his face:
"There is no need to use the resources in the city, nor to waste our city's money and manpower. Didn't I say it before? These activities are for the warriors of the alien world. They plan and host them. We only need to provide them with the hidden rewards they need after the festival celebration.
They are always full of energy and don't know what sadness is. I believe that such optimism will infect our residents, allowing them to temporarily forget the depression of reality and be full of expectations for the future.
You have to believe that the experience of aliens in large-scale events is far superior to ours. "
"But any event needs a theme."
Tress glanced at Murphy.
The little shame and anger in her heart caused by the close contact in the land of creation that night has almost subsided. Now she said to Murphy:
"You can leave everything to them, but you have to specify a content at least, right?
Moreover, five days of preparation time is really too short. Since we have decided to have fun with the people, we have to bring some gimmicks to our residents, just like the previous boxing championship. I think that idea is good.
Even though it has been over for a month, there are still many discussions in the city. Obviously, the locals prefer this kind of straightforward excitement.
You let the aliens perform a drama, I guess not many people are willing to support it. "
"Yeah"
Murphy thought this idea was good, but it would be a bit aesthetically fatigued to have another boxing championship just after the boxing championship. He thought for a moment and took out his notebook to record his inspiration and flipped through it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The Governor closed the notebook and asked Tris and Miriam:
"I drew a pie for them before, promising that they could challenge me as long as they got four letters of recommendation from local powerful people. When the boxing championship was going on, I told Dorothy to add this link, but then the swamp war broke out and I didn't have time to continue to pay attention.
So, how many players have received letters of recommendation from those champions now? "
"We need to count this."
Milliam rubbed her eyes and said:
"But I estimate that the number will not be small. At least our Earl of Baishan has been letting the water in almost every battle he participated in in order to win over the warriors. Moreover, as the number of psychics among the warriors increases, the pass rate of the "knowledge challenge" on the young lady's side is said to be increasing.
I will count it and report the specific information to you before the evening.
But are you sure you want to start such a challenge on the day of Holy Blood Festival? I don't doubt your strength, Murphy, but I am worried that if your warriors are really powerful, what if they really beat you?
That's a challenge in public!
If you lose, the locals' impression of you may change a little. "
"No way!"
Lord Murphy said confidently:
"Even if they are given 40 people, it is absolutely impossible for them to beat me at their current level. I crush them in terms of reaction speed and movement speed alone. But since it is a challenge, we have to give them some bonuses. "
The Governor took out the notebook he used to record his swordsmanship experience from his bag.
He said:
"Let's use this precious knowledge as a prize. The pursuit of power has always been difficult, and not every warrior can have a sparring partner like Necessary Evil."
"Can I strengthen them?"
Tress suddenly became interested.
She raised her hand and said:
"I suddenly want to see my little Murphy being surrounded and beaten by the warriors. I can strengthen them a little before the battle.
No, not just me.
The guys who gave them the recommendation letters have already acknowledged their strength. So in such a challenge, the strong must give the weak the necessary amplification to ensure that this battle can be fought beautifully.
Little Murphy, don't show that bad expression. You see, bullying is meaningless to you. You should try a more advanced battle.
40 strengthened warriors form a battle formation to be qualified to be your opponent, right?
Wow, this is a great idea!
I'm going to discuss this with Femis, Maxim and Adele. "
After that, Tris cast a teleportation spell to make herself disappear in front of Murphy, who had a headache, and Miriam, who was covering her mouth and laughing. After Tris left, Miriam whispered:
"It seems that there is something unpleasant between you two? Can I know what happened? Isn't your relationship already as good as honey? It's just like conjoined twins. Tris is not opposed to being affectionate with you in front of outsiders. "
"You, a pure girl, it's better not to know."
Murphy glanced at Miriam angrily, and said:
"Or, you will know after you have a boyfriend. To be honest, I don't know how I offended her. It was obviously her initiative. "
"But Tris is going to amplify the warriors and let them beat you. "
Miriam twisted her water cup and drank a sip of water. After moistening her throat, she said to Murphy:
"Are you sure you still have confidence now? "
"Of course. "
Murphy touched his chest and said:
"Not only are they improving, I am also improving. If my warriors think they can beat me up after getting a super BUFF, then I will definitely give them a big surprise and let them know that the majesty of the main NPC cannot be challenged!
Of course, before that, I will give them a little hope, and then I will personally extinguish it.
Hahaha, I am such a bad villain, right? ”

The origin of Holy Blood Festival has been studied by plot fans in the game and translated to the forum. To put it simply, Holy Blood Festival commemorates the day when the ancient blood clan established the clan and blood clan system on the wild continent at the beginning of the era 1,100 years ago.
Vampires regard it as the beginning of their civilization.
They will celebrate the third week after the winter solstice every year, and the whole celebration lasts for ten days. According to various information found by players in the game, when Holy Blood Festival comes, vampires from all over the world will temporarily put aside important affairs and start to have fun.
And having fun too much will cause unexpected situations, so after Holy Blood Festival every year, each clan will have a group of blood descendants.
However, past experience is obviously difficult to use now Transia, because the New Blood Eagle Clan is not a traditional force.
Just after Menghaha reminded people on the forum about the arrival of the "Holy Blood Festival", some visible changes appeared on the forum in the evening of the same day.
First, the entire forum layout was modified into a dark vampire style, decorated with candles and fine wine, and background music would automatically play when entering the forum.
It was a traditional ballad of the blood clan, called "Scarlet Blessing Song", which was said to be the ballad played by Lord Paying himself during the first Holy Blood Festival.
You know what, it's really nice.
A very distinctive lady's high-pitched chanting tune was added to the feminine bass melody, which was very similar to the elf long poem in the fantasy story, and had a sense of holiness unique to the choir. It was particularly atmospheric and also announced to the players that "Real Alien" The first festival event in the game "World" is just around the corner.
In addition to the changes in the forum layout, each player's avatar has a limited-time costume, and can change their avatar to a "vampire filter", that is, the posture that their character will show if they really become a vampire.
Because of Alpha's "excellent technology", the effect of this filter is very amazing.
Students shouted and uploaded their personal photos to the forum and then used the vampire filter, and then poured the photos into their mobile phones, just as if they had taken a very handsome "vampire art photo".
Chow's assistant "Sister Xiaomi" also released the official theme post of the Holy Blood Festival event on time at 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day:
[The quiet and beautiful sound of midnight has sounded, and the scarlet dawn is calling, dear foreigners, Transia trip The Administrative Office and the Blood Eagle Clan cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming "Holy Blood Festival" celebration.
The development team has prepared a variety of festival activities for you. I hope you enjoy the exotic life besides fighting.
Holy Blood Festival Warm-up Event 1: Festival Support:
In the past years, this land would be decorated with the most luxurious scenery because of the arrival of the Holy Blood Festival. Those were the most lively and happiest ten days of the year. However, in this special season, the Scarlet Castle, which has just emerged from the disaster, does not have so much manpower and material resources to push the atmosphere of the Holy Blood Festival into a carnival. For this reason, Archon Miriam, who is distressed, hopes to use the power of the omnipotent foreigners.
From the start of the warm-up event to the official opening of the Holy Blood Festival, all players can go to the Scarlet Castle Administrative District to receive the "Festival Support" cycle task.
This task type is daily, which can be done once a day. Each task lasts for twelve rings. The content is to help the Administrative Office find festival supplies and decorate the city and prepare for the celebration.
Daily tasks can get the "Gratefulness of the Archon" gift pack, which includes but is not limited to gold coins, supplies, psychic pets·Moonlight Butterfly, special costume·Holy Blood Reveler Outfit.
Tips!
This gift pack has a very small chance of opening "Rare Skin·Milliam·First-year Student of the Administrative College".
Holy Blood Festival Warm-up Event 2·Big Challenge Countdown:
Governor Murphy has never forgotten his promise to the foreign warriors. He once emphasized that he would give the warriors a chance to challenge him, and now, Lord Murphy feels that the time has come!
From the start of the warm-up event to the start of the Holy Blood Festival Grand Challenge, all players can go to the special NPC to obtain the "Strong Recommendation Letter". Before the Holy Blood Festival Grand Challenge starts, players with four recommendation letters can participate in the challenge against Governor Murphy.
This challenge is a limited-time group battle mode!
The maximum number of people allowed to enter is 40!
The number of challenges allowed is limited to 5 times!
After the challenge is successful, all participants will receive "Governor Murphy's Martial Arts Notebook" X1.
Tips!
This challenge is a reserved item for the Holy Blood Festival. Players who do not get the challenge qualification do not have to be sad and disappointed. In the Holy Blood Festival challenge next year, Lord Murphy will appear again.
Holy Blood Festival Warm-up Event 3: Tris's Revenge:
Because of unknown reasons, the relationship between Mrs. Tris and Governor Murphy has a small wave. In order to punish Murphy's disgrace, Mrs. Tris decided to provide the warriors with various buffs and combat potion supplements in the Grand Challenge.
From the start of the warm-up event, all players who have received a letter of recommendation can go to Madam Tracy's alchemy hut and donate wine to Madam Tracy to obtain rare combat potions.
Before the big challenge begins, when the number of wine donated by all warriors exceeds 500 bottles, Madam Tracy will appear directly at the challenge site and cast a powerful buff spell for the challengers.
If the challengers can defeat Lord Murphy, they will get the "Madam Tracy's Pride" gift pack.
The gift pack contains wealth, power and knowledge that you can't imagine.
More Holy Blood Festival activities will be gradually unlocked with the plot recommendation. In short, please bring your friends to participate in the preparation and carnival of the Holy Blood Festival.
In addition, the Administration Office specially reserved five booths for the foreigners in this event to reflect the cultural characteristics of the foreigners.
If at the end of the event, the performance of the foreigners is unanimously recognized by the residents of Scarlet Castle and Professor Malcolm, a historian and folklorist, then the Administration Office will give the guild generous administrative and material rewards. 】
This post immediately attracted a lot of attention, but in addition to those players who discussed the big challenge and rewards, some gossipy guys quickly tasted the "melon" flavor from the post.
Lumina Yanghen: [Lord Murphy and Lady Tracy are in a bad mood, my god, I thought they were a model couple. I think this plot is worth digging deeper. Are there any brothers who used to be paparazzi who sign up to join my gossip team?
Recruiting with a lot of money. 】
Mrs. Wenwan and Dashishui: [Don't be stupid! If you don't want to be a member of the Black Hand Clan.]
Lumina Yanghen: [Oh, I understand, you guys just pretend I didn't say anything.]
Meow King: [Hahaha, you're scared, little Lumi is such a coward, what are you afraid of, chasing NPC gossip is also a way to play the game, you see I'm not afraid! 】
Sister Pomegranate Drags Weeping Willow: [Nonsense, you are already the chief of the Black Hand Clan, what are you afraid of.]
