Chapter 70 69 True Unity Must Be Built on Blood, Either His or Yours! [960]
Chapter 70 69. True unity must be built on blood, either his or yours! [960]
(Additional update for brother ‘Frost Claw’ [4/5])
Murphy left the house.
He took the bottle of “Daytime Potion” that Jed gave him, which was used to weaken vampires, and swore to join Jed’s group in the fight for the final power of the Blood Eagle Clan.
However, Jed didn’t really trust him. Murphy could feel that the guy just used him as a pawn and used future power to seduce him to betray his current friends.
This is a very normal truth.
Especially in the traditional vampire society, it is absolutely impossible for a vampire to completely trust another vampire.
What flows in their veins is not a low-level thing like blood, but a mixture of conspiracy and malice in proportion, and then fermented in the dark night to form a highly toxic substance.
It will kill you if you touch it, and it will kill you if you see blood.
And dozens of minutes after Murphy left, the door of the house was pushed open again.
This time it was Maxim who walked in.
The latter covered his eyes with a hood, holding a bottle and seven goblets in his hands.
It is not easy to find these flashy things in the current Cadman City. Fortunately, Lord Murphy's warriors are talented enough in plundering, and Miriam also has a lot of supplies.
"My lord, have a drink."
Maxim poured the red liquid in the bottle into the cup and handed it to Jed. The weak vampire moved his throat and could no longer maintain the hypocritical etiquette after taking it.
At this moment, he was like a vulgar and greedy person, raising his head and drinking the blood like fine wine.
"Hmm"
The blood entered his mouth and turned into real power and merged into his thirsty body, making Jed groan for a long time, just like drinking the nectar to make the aging and wrinkles on his face visibly smoothed.
But the gray hair could never return to its original black.
The damage to the blood essence is not something that can be recovered in a short time for vampires, just like men who unfortunately suffer from kidney deficiency.
Anxiety will not solve the problem!
This kind of damage to the origin has always been slowly treated.
"You didn't tell Murphy that I had already woken up. It seems that you are still loyal, Maxim."
Jade whispered.
His voice was no longer as dry as before, and seemed to have the viciousness and gloom that vampires should have. Maxim, who lowered his head, did not answer, but just poured him another cup of sweet blood from the virgins in the camp like a servant, and handed it to Jed again with both hands.
"He trusts you very much."
Jade was not as rude as before this time.
He seemed to have restored the demeanor of a midnight noble, gently shaking the sweet thing in his hand, and observing Maxim's expression through the waves of blood.
He said:
"He also told me about you, hoping that I could give you to him. He really thinks highly of you.
And I
I also suddenly realized that I had made a mistake.
Just as I failed to discover Murphy's hidden talent, I also failed to discover that there was an outstanding individual like you among my servants. So, Maxim, are you willing to follow Murphy?"
"I am your servant."
Maxim said in a deep voice:
"I still owe you a life. This is an unforgettable favor. I must repay it with this life!"
"Yes!"
This answer made Jed very satisfied.
Maxim did not hide his admiration for Murphy and his willingness to follow him, but he also honestly expressed his thoughts. Vampires who are well versed in human hearts know that this kind of entanglement is the norm for fragile creatures like humans.
The more determined or loyal Maxim is, the more suspicious he will feel.
"Then, I need you to help me do one last thing, in the name of the servant, this is a ritual that must be performed in order to gain freedom."
Jed took a small sip of blood, and with a flick of his finger, a bottle of familiar daylight potion fell into Maxim's hands.
He said:
"Murphy is an outstanding junior. I guess he agreed to cooperate with me just to stabilize me. He expects to get offers from both sides and then wait for the price.
If it were me, I would do the same.
But now the conditions do not allow it, I must "help" him make up his mind. You go put this drug in Ms. Tris's drink and hide her.
Don't hurt her until the matter is over.
I don't need you to get involved in this, Maxim.
I just need Murphy to feel a little pressure, and after my cooperation with him is completed, you can get what you desire, we, we can all get what we want."
Maxim nodded.
He seemed unable to understand, and finally asked:
"My Lord, you are clearly in an advantageous position. Femis is just a lone person, and she is only at the Black Iron level. Any of your companions can deal with her.
Why do you still have to..."
"This is not something you should know, Maxim, you are not one of us yet, and the secrets of the night are not something that humans can pry into!"
Jed glanced at the servant indifferently.
The latter immediately bent down and left. Before leaving, Maxim said to him:
"I have selected the 'food' that suits your taste for you, and will deliver it to you tomorrow morning. Please be patient for the time being."
"Well."
Jed watched Maxim leave. After the room became quiet again, he stood up with his heavy body, picked up the blood bottle Maxim sent, and selected from the dozen children lying on the ground behind him. After a while, the blood was finally poured on a tall heir.
The latter soon came to life under the nourishment of blood, and then heard Jed whispering in the dark:
"Arthur, my best son, go! Watch Maxim, I remember that you are very familiar with him. If he completes my instructions, you will take over the care of Mrs. Tracey and let him return to me. Return here.
But if he did something he shouldn't have done
Get rid of him! "
——
Maxim walked on the ashes-covered ground of Cadman City.
He was annoyed that he was still too upright and failed to ask where Jade's concerns about Miss Femis came from.
He didn't believe that Jade's decision to let Mr. Murphy execute the eldest lady was harmless in itself. The cunning old man must have wanted Mr. Murphy to bear the terrible guilt.
Perhaps there are other more dangerous factors.
He had to find a way to obtain more benefits for Mr. Murphy in this unexpected incident.
Unfortunately, his brain was really not suitable for these thoughts. After thinking for a few minutes, he felt like his head was going to explode. At this moment, Maxim suddenly stopped and looked left and right.
He heard a very artificial chirping sound, and then discovered that in the dark alley ahead, Lord Murphy's warrior Miss Yanghen was gesturing to him to let him pass.
After confirming that he was not being followed, he stepped forward quickly.
"Jade asked me to poison Lady Tris!"
He whispered to Yang Hen:
"Tell Mr. Murphy the news immediately. Jade will use Mrs. Tracey to force him to submit. Mrs. Tracey must be transferred immediately."
"You exposed yourself by doing this!"
Lumina is so smart, she understood it in a flash of her little head, she whispered:
"I'm here to convey Sir Murphy's instructions. He said that he believes in all judgments you make and allows you to move freely until the matter is over. Do not contact him to avoid dragging you into danger.
He also said that you don’t have to worry about Jade, as long as you protect Mrs. Tracey.
This is an opportunity, just enough to pick you out. "
Lumina admired the loyal blood servant warrior in front of her. She said to Maxim:
"You should take advantage of the situation to take Mrs. Murphy's weakness away from the whirlpool of this family conspiracy, and don't let her fall into the hands of Jed, who doesn't look like a good person at first sight."
"That's not enough."
Maxim shook his head and said:
"Mr. Murphy is under too much pressure. Jed and his accomplices are very powerful. I have to think, maybe you guys who are inconspicuous are more suitable.
Ah, being stupid, I finally understand what adults often mean when they say you must learn to use your true power. "
He looked at Lumina Yanghen in front of him, then handed over the bottle of daytime potion that Jed gave him, and whispered:
“Go to the survivor camp!
Dilute this thing with water and put it into the 'food' prepared for those vampires, but not too early or too late, they are very vigilant. Gather the other warriors, there are 40 of you! You are brave enough and not afraid of death. You should be able to barely injure those already weak guys in an ambush.
Lord Murphy's great achievements cannot be stopped!
Whether it's a witch hunter or a vampire, kill them if they stand in your way! "
A fierce light flashed in Maxim's bloodshot eyes, and he said to Lumina in front of him:
"Go to my soldiers, open the armory we keep and take out the best weapons in it to arm you. If you win, those exquisite weapons and armor will be yours!
Mrs. Tris will be under my protection.
She will not be harmed, I will guarantee it with my life!
I've learned that I don't need anything from Jade!
I am a Transian.
So, I will get the ones I want myself! "
"Ding!"
A mission prompt pops up on Lumina’s player interface at this moment:
[The group mission ‘Loyal Fangs’ has been triggered (can be shared)]
——
"boom"
The milky white day potion was placed on the corner of the table.
In the tower where Femis had been hiding these past few days, Murphy stared at the eldest lady who was holding a book and reading with her back to him. Mrs. Adele was guarding outside the passage on the highest floor of the tower.
She knew that she should not participate in the conversation between the two people inside.
She just needs to do what a heir and a steward should do.
"You've hidden a lot of things from me and Tris! You! You're not honest at all."
Murphy said to Femis unceremoniously:
"You confirmed a long time ago that your father is not dead, right? You also know very well what happened in the Blood Vulture Corridor. If Jed and his gang hadn't unexpectedly appeared, I would have been kept in the dark by you.
I guess you must go to the Blood Vulture Corridor because the desire fragment representing the position of clan leader is there. As long as you can get that stone tablet, you can rebuild the clan!
What you say about helping me build new power, what you say about just confirming the truth are all lies!
Maybe you and Jade are just the same thing, and he was right when he called you a 'little bitch' and a 'little bitch'.
Perhaps the reason why you try your best to help me collect these survivors is just to transform them into a new batch of members of the clan after everything is over.
Let me ask you, Femis, is the Blood Vulture Clan really that important to you? "
"Of course it's important!"
Femis stopped pretending to read. She dropped the book and turned around. Her blood-red eyes stared at Murphy. She took a deep breath and knew that the moment of showdown had come. She said in a deep voice:
"Family is important to every vampire! Only outliers like you and Tris don't care about the extinction of their family and only want to build a force that belongs to you.
However, you ignore the malice of the world itself towards vampires. Only by sticking together can we survive in the dark!
Family is the gathering of this survival concept.
But you are wrong, Murphy.
I am not treating you and those poor people in the survivor camp as sacrifices. I want to go to the Blood Eagle Corridor just to find out my life experience.
I know you have been guessing, so I will just tell you!
I am not a vampire!
At least not an ordinary vampire!
I cannot embrace Adele and can only ask you for help. I think you must have noticed this with your thinking. You are just playing dumb, like a shrewd guy waiting for this moment to blame it all on me and righteously scold me for not being honest.
However, aren't you hiding something from me as well?
I don't believe that a family marginal person who has been on the edge for more than a year can be reborn in a few days. You have secrets too! And your secrets are buried deeper than mine.
In your words, clear your suspicion before humiliating me!
But I don't care about these. If others are unwilling to share their secrets, we, the children of midnight, should not take the initiative to explore them. Crossing the line that should not be taken is to spread malice, which is the beginning of signal of war.
I'll tell you the truth!
I just want to know the truth now!
And that truth is only known by my father, maybe your elder Tris also knows it, but the Scarlet Witch is not going to tell it, she is torturing me!
She knows very well how to torture me better, just like an outstanding blood torturer, knowing how to do it to cause more pain to the prey in her hands.
But I don't even know why the vicious woman you love hates me so much?
Obviously, I haven't met her many times.
As for the tragedy in the Blood Eagle Corridor, I admit that I saw some of it, but that's not what you need to worry about!
You can't solve it either.
I haven't been hiding here these days to fish.
I have contacted the Blood Eagle Clan through the token of the heir of the Blood Eagle Clan with difficulty. The Knights of the Alliance, the Blood Knights under Lord Paying are on their way to Transia.
I promise you, Murphy! ”
The eldest lady took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"The horrible things in the Blood Eagle Corridor are not the trouble you need to worry about. I will help you solve it! This will also be your territory. I promised you that no one can take it away.
But now, Jed is our common trouble!
He shouldn't have escaped!
I saw my father's loyal servants drain their blood with my own eyes. I don't know what my father is doing, but he blocked the secret door of the Blood Eagle Corridor with the fragments of desire.
Since they escaped, it means that they stole the Archduke's certificate in my father's hand and chose to betray the family.
I don't want to know the reason, but they must die!
The rules are like this and cannot be violated. ”
She glanced at the daylight potion that Murphy placed on the corner of the table and said:
"He gave you a price, right? Did you come here hoping that I would give you a price too?"
"No. "
Murphy pulled out the blade of the Desire Clan from his waist and stabbed it into the ground with a bang.
The hilt of the Swift Sword vibrated and hummed at high speed. Murphy moved his neck, and his eyes flickered with a hint of crimson in the dimness.
He said:
"This is like a plot option.
If I have to choose a partner between you and Jed, I have to be more cautious. I have to know who is trustworthy! To be honest, I now have a plan and have put it into practice.
I am considering whether to continue to cooperate with one of the two parties with ulterior motives.
Or, just take this opportunity to get rid of both of you who are obviously not good people! "
"Hmm? "
The young lady looked at Murphy.
She wondered if this guy had gone crazy because of too much pressure. How could he, a rookie vampire who hadn't even passed the Black Iron Trial, be so arrogant? Even with Tracy's help, it would be impossible. Wait!
A flash of lightning flashed through the young lady's mind, and she immediately thought of a crazy possibility.
She widened her eyes and scolded:
"You want to cooperate with those witch hunters? Murphy! You're crazy!"
"I haven't just started to cooperate with them now. You who experienced that night in the Smuggler's Woods should know this better than anyone else!
But am I not the 'alien' you mentioned? Any crazy things done by an unwelcome alien are not worthy of the surprise of a 'noble bloodline' like you, right? "
Murphy showed a playful and cold smile in the darkness.
He pointed at the sword stuck in the ground in front of him and said to Femis, who had already grasped the psychic sword at his waist and was retreating:
"Either you bet all your reputation and follow me to cooperate with the witch hunters to get rid of Jed and his gang, so that our hands will be stained with the blood of our fellow tribesmen and we will become "traitors" in the mouths of others, thus establishing a despicable unity of mutual trust!
Or I can only use your noble blood to complete my Black Iron Trial here, and then use your miserable death as bait to send Jed and his gang to where they should go.
You are right.
That arrogant fool really shouldn't show up at this time. He even thought of tempting me with clumsy words and barged into this game without being invited.
He is so tactless!
Just like a stupid young lady who is not honest at all and does not realize her true situation. Even now, she still can't figure out who is the leader?
Really tactless"
"You are a little too arrogant. "
Femis gritted her teeth and said:
"You are just a professional, how dare you..."
She stopped talking halfway.
Because she saw Lady Adele slowly appearing in the darkness behind Murphy, holding a thorn sword in her left hand and a scarlet pistol in her right hand, blocking all routes out of the tower with her precise position.
Adele's body was trembling.
She resisted what she was about to do in her heart.
However, how could a blood descendant refuse an order from his elders?
Murphy pulled out a chair, sat on it diagonally, and even crossed his legs in a relaxed manner.
He stared at the silent lady in front of him, spread his hands, and said:
"Femis Cecilia Lesembora! You have to recognize your situation! And time is passing like precious life, now, make your choice!
I am about to lose my patience. "
