My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1096 1094. So, birthday celebrations are really unlucky! Murphy Warmaster
The Songhai people basically combine large-scale ceremonies with their beliefs. Needless to say, the Creator, because His status is too high, it is rare for Him to be troubled in matters such as celebrating birthdays. Therefore, the symbols of the moon and the sun are a very important part.

After all, death and rebirth are a very important part of the Songhai people's cultural tradition.

Unlike most celebrations that begin during the day, the Songhai people start the celebration when the moon rises at night. This makes it difficult for the "foreign guests" who have regular schedules. For example, the wolf girl who likes to go to bed early and get up early has already started yawning. But on the other hand, King Louis, who likes to hold banquets in his own palace, is very adaptable to this rhythm and is in high spirits.

The heads of state of various countries were arranged to watch the ceremony on both sides of the Pharaoh's palace. The heads of the thirty-three pilgrim families came on stage one after another, presented the carefully prepared gifts to the Emperor of the Sand Sea, and recited the family mottos that had been passed down since the beginning of the era according to ancient traditions.

Speaking of this pilgrim family, there is really a lot to say.

Each of them has his or her own unique style, which is not only reflected in the family emblem and flag, but also in the unique responsibilities they shoulder in the Songhai Empire. When Tracy was free these days, she analyzed the political structure of the Songhai Empire for Murphy.

It was a typical "feudal oligarchy" system.

The thirty-three families not only controlled their own oasis fiefdoms, but also shouldered a series of "national responsibilities" in the Songhai Empire.

For example, the impoverished Bom family is the most important supplier of sand dates and wine in the Songhai Empire. The little mummy's family owns the largest wine production and sales network in the Songhai Empire, and also has the outrageous sales franchise of more than nineteen oases recognized by the empire.

The Ptolemy family, which currently holds the royal power, is the "military aristocracy" in the pilgrim family system. In addition to the Pharaoh's Songhai Guards, the Ptolemy family has the most elite scarab legion and infantry system in the Songhai Empire.

The father of the current pharaoh, Thutmose I, was the commander-in-chief of the Songhai Empire before he took over the throne.

After stripping off the hidden cloak, it is not difficult to find that the important links in the entire empire's commercial, people's livelihood and political systems are almost all controlled by the thirty-three families. It can be said that the thirty-three oases owned by the Pilgrim Family are the foundation of the Songhai Empire's rule.

Although other oasis pharaohs were also powerful, they were nothing more than juniors in front of these "ancient nobles".

After Tracy's detailed explanation, Murphy discovered that the Songhai Empire actually practiced the "aristocratic politics".

It's just that there are too many powerful families within their country, and they maintain a very wonderful homeostasis under the checks and balances of dynamic balance. In addition, the Creator's legacy promotes the development of productivity, so that political drawbacks have not yet affected the stability of the country.

However, there were already signs of danger within the Songhai Empire.

The most vivid example is the Mamluk Rebellion three hundred years ago. It was originally just a border oasis pharaoh who wanted to go to war with the elves. In other countries, such a thing might be considered serious, but there are actually ways to suppress it. However, this was not the case in the Songhai Empire.

The Mamluk family was one of the most staunch supporters of the Church of the Dead Moon in the empire at the time, and their subordinates were in charge of most of the supply of materials to the Church of the Dead Moon. This led to the involvement of most of the Church of the Dead Moon when the Mamluk Pharaoh launched a rebellion.

If it weren't for the fact that Um Warheart, the silver dwarf architect who is currently serving as an honorary elder of the Stonemasons Brotherhood in Transia and who drank alcohol, had not decisively destroyed his brainchild, the Skybridge, the war would probably have led directly to a head-on conflict between the two ancient countries. It was also because of that accident that Pharaoh Bom I stepped down in disgrace, and all possibilities of establishing friendly diplomacy between the Songhai people and the elves were completely cut off.

“When I came to the Songhai Empire, the father of the current Pharaoh, Tuthmons I, was only a marshal and had not yet succeeded to the throne, but the Pharaoh at the time, Badis I, had already been working hard to weaken the power of the Thirty-three Pilgrims’ families.

Support ordinary oasis pharaohs to participate in the imperial politics and begin to squeeze the power of the pilgrim families.

With the support of the kings of Hades, the reforms went smoothly.”

During the lively birthday banquet, Tracey, who was watching the ceremony, explained to Murphy with her heart:

"The next pharaoh, Thutmose I, lived a long life and was the longest-reigning pharaoh in the history of the Songhai Empire. He spent a full 140 years smoothly introducing new forces into the politics of the empire. The current pharaoh has inherited his father's legacy and continued to promote this strategy during his 62 years of rule. It is estimated that when His Majesty Khufu inherits the throne, the power of the Pilgrim family will be suppressed to a normal level.

According to my research on the history of the other world, I speculate that by that time, Khufu will probably begin to centralize power, and the Songhai Empire will most likely break away from its current isolation and begin to spread its influence on a large scale outside the Land of Origin. "

"That will be at least a hundred years later."

Murphy holds Tris' hand.

He maintained a serious expression and answered with the flow of his mind:

"You and I probably wouldn't know where to go to have fun at that time, if this world still existed at that time."

"Well, I'm really glad and touched to hear you say that, my dear little smooth-talking Murphy."

Tris said in a long voice:
"But are you sure you're just going to have fun with me? Without Adele and Shani?"

".If you insist on thinking that, I can only be speechless. Adele will definitely go with us. In addition, I emphasize again that Shani and I are innocent. Please stop fanning the flames! If the outrageous things that our few idle little players are doing are detonated, Shani will probably come to my house and strangle me to death herself."

Murphy shook his head and sighed:

"When we first met, I told Xia Ni that she was not good at playing politics, but that guy always liked to jump in."

"It's not Shani's fault."

Tris, who always had a problem with Grand Duke Shani, spoke up for Shani, contrary to her usual attitude. She explained:

“Xiani has experienced the destruction of her country and her family.

She witnessed with her own eyes the entire process of how the kingdom left by her father was usurped by the powerful minister Rurik. The bloodline of the heroic king was wiped out overnight, forcing Shani, who was still a spiritual old girl at the time, to give up her identity as a human being and escape into the midnight to survive.

Precisely because she had been through all that, now that the Romanovs had finally regained the throne, they naturally did not want young Angelina to make the same mistake again. However, she had stayed in the midnight for too long, and her personality had become extreme.

It is impossible for those who step into midnight not to be affected.

She felt that she was responsible for her descendants, but to us outsiders, Shani had violated the most unbreakable taboo in politics.

She was trying to turn the wolf girl into an obedient child. The worst thing was that the wolf girl clearly had the "poise of an emperor". Her every move was exactly the same as the legendary hero king.

How could such a domineering intention be blocked by the power from midnight?"

"Well, I understand what you mean, Tris, but could you please stop using these weird metaphors?"

Murphy complained:
"They say that Mannis has been poisoned by the rotten stories from another world and there is no cure. I think your condition is not mild. What emperor's appearance, what hegemonic thoughts? You are the Grand Duke of Blood Eagle, you should not read these."

"I like it! What's it to you?"

Tris replied fiercely and ignored Murphy, leaving the vampire lord helplessly watching the performances of the birthday celebraters in front of him like a passing show.

The oasis pharaohs of the thirty-three families quickly completed the process, and the next thing was the gifts presented by foreign heads of state. Vampires were ranked first, and this was all because of Lord Paying. Just based on the exaggerated friendship between the Lord and every pharaoh, where they could chat and laugh happily, other kings and heads of state had to stand aside.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Songhai Empire was built bit by bit under the watchful eyes of Lao Pa. The Lord is the living fossil of the history of the Songhai Empire. Didn’t you see that the current Pharaoh had to treat the Lord with courtesy as a junior?

You have to do this!
If others say they held you in their arms when you were a child, they are probably joking, but if the Lord says he held you in his arms when you were a child, then it is definitely true.
Under Murphy's gaze, the gorgeously dressed Lord Paliano stepped forward on behalf of the Blood Alliance Clan. This flamboyant guy wore the most gorgeous armor and a long-tailed cloak. He held an exquisite box in his hand, which contained something that no one else could understand.

However, as he approached, the Pharaoh stood up from his throne for the first time.

"The remains of the fallen Lord of Hunting are the last remnants of an evil god in the material world. Lord Paying used the techniques of the Eastern Kingdom to carve them into a protective jade, which carries protection and blessings."

Palano held the gift high in his hand and said in a chanting tone:

"May the light of the Creator shine upon you, may the midnight protect you, may the sun, moon and stars be with you! Happy birthday, respected Emperor of the Sea of ​​Sand."

"Okay! Okay, okay."

The Pharaoh was very happy, not only because the gift was truly powerful, but also because he knew Lord Paying's cold personality very well. Now that he could make the gift himself and present it to him, it meant that the Lord recognized his authority as an emperor.

For a ruler who considered himself a junior, the emotional value of this gift was immeasurable. He took the exquisite ornament on the spot, but did not wear it on himself. Instead, he tied it around the neck of Crown Prince Khufu beside him in front of all the spectators.

The meaning is obvious.

Following behind Lord Palano was the gift from the Blood Eagle Clan. When a few burly guys from Giant Shark carried the thing into the palace, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some timid ladies even screamed.

Mainly, this thing is a bit
Well, not really suitable as a gift.

It was a pile of werewolf heads fashioned from a strange metal.

The crafting technique is not sophisticated, but it shows the despair and anger of the werewolf before his death. The base is made of a very strange stone. It has been broken, but there is some force restraining it, making the rubble surround the metal statue.

As the birthday congratulatory representative of the Transians, Lao Qin stepped forward and introduced loudly:
“This is the spoils our Transian warriors captured when they conquered the Lord of Hunting. We used the broken throne of the evil god as the base, and then used the metal left over from the defeat of the Chaos Vanguard, the Burning World Demons, which was purified by Governor Murphy to make the main body.

The metal used to decorate the top of this sculpture called "The End of the Evil God" comes from the remains of the Creator's artifact, the Scepter of God, after it was completely released.

We believe that this sculpture, which represents the power of the Creator to defeat evil, is the best gift for the birthday banquet of the Emperor of the Sand Sea.

Transians worship courage and pursue justice. May the Songhai Empire be forever protected by the power of the Creator, and may the Songhai people always walk on the path of following the God of Creation.

Happy birthday to you, master of the vast sands."

The first half of Lao Qin's introduction only made the Songhai nobles present feel excited, but when he said that part of the sculpture was made using the Creator's artifact, those devout or pretending to be devout Songhai people immediately exclaimed and cheered, and the Pharaoh also nodded with satisfaction.

He stood in front of the throne, admiring the sculpture.

To be honest, the craftsmanship of this thing is really horrific, but as Lao Qin said, the various symbolic meanings contained in it are indeed extraordinary for the Songhai people.

Crown Prince Khufu beside him also straightened his chest.

After all, he had personally participated in the crusade against the Lord of Hunting, and the Scepter of God that blasted the evil god into pieces was also launched from the sun boat he commanded. At such a young age, he earned himself the title of "God Killer", and his future was promising.

"Oh, if I had been a little gentler at that time."

Murphy sighed in his heart:

"For example, if we can keep the skull of the Lord of Hunting, wouldn't that be more prestigious today?"

As he thought so, he looked at the increasingly lively and grand birthday banquet scene. Next were the gifts prepared by King Louis and the Wolf Girl. Murphy was curious about how the two kings would express their goodwill towards the Songhai Empire?

The Pharaoh returned to his throne.

The two consecutive offerings of precious things made him happy, so he made a gesture, and Khufu next to him immediately reached out and brought a glass of wine for his father from the plate next to him.

Pharaoh was not a drinker.

But it was his birthday, and as the host he deserved a little indulgence.

He held a glass of wine and watched the Sealand Royal Guards walking into the hall, as well as the Nord Guards standing further away. He was also very curious about what kind of gifts these two countries would send.

The cold drink entered his mouth, and the mellow wine slid down his throat into his body, making the Pharaoh feel warm and comfortable.

At the same time, Murphy, who was about to have fun, suddenly heard a scream in his ear:
"Murphy! The timeline is disturbed at this moment. The future of the Songhai Empire has suddenly become unclear. Be careful! Something is happening. Stop it, quickly!"

"!!!"

Mannis's angry warning gave Murphy a startle.

He looked up and saw the Pharaoh moving the wine glass away from his lips. He ignored etiquette and rushed forward, rushing to the Pharaoh's throne like a ghost. In the latter's surprised gaze, he knocked the wine glass to the ground with one hand.

The amber wine flowed all over the ground, and its mellow aroma spread throughout the palace, while the Omega energy was transmitted into the Pharaoh's body through Murphy's left hand that was holding Thutmose II's arm.

The Emperor of Sand Sea, who had felt nothing before, now felt an indescribable pain rising from his body.

He understood the whole story at that moment.

"Please, protect my country, Creator."

The Pharaoh only had time to utter these last words before he began to twitch on his throne in front of all the guests. Pale white smoke from the purification of the Chaos Poison rose from his body, as if he were spontaneously combusting.

Murphy tried his best to save Thutmose II's life, but the poison he drank was so strong that even the pharaoh's not-yet-dead body showed signs of turning into a chaotic creature.

"Hold on, there is still hope!"

Murphy said to the Pharaoh, who was holding his arm tightly and enduring terrible pain:
"Luckily I prepared for this situation in advance. I will seal you up temporarily, Mosna! Activate the Beta Seal Component! Come to my direction, quickly!"

The next moment, Murphy cast the effect of Time Exile on the Pharaoh, forcing him to return to the state where he had just drunk the poisoned wine but the effects had not yet taken effect. However, the poison of Chaos could not be removed so easily, and the Pharaoh's expression was still very painful.

"The despicable vampire assassinated our emperor in public!!! Loyal Songhai people, take action and control these murderers! Don't let them get away!"

Just as Murphy was trying his best to purify the toxins in the Pharaoh's body, a sharp and out-of-tune shout rang out from the chaotic crowd.

That was the shout of a pharaoh from a pilgrim family. The moment he shouted, he crushed an amulet and disappeared into the air.

The Lord who was summoning the Holy Spear knew something was wrong when he heard the shout, but before the vampire guests could react, the mummy dancers who were preparing for a performance outside the palace rushed into the palace in a "killing assassin" manner.

The Pharaoh was indeed assassinated, and everyone present was a suspect!

Amid the shocked shouting and commands of the Death Moon priests, in the chaos, as they advanced like a dance, the players standing in the way were dispersed before they could resist. In an instant, more than six binding spells fell on Tris. The Scarlet Witch gritted her teeth and held on, but Adele, who was just about to become invisible, was affected and was forcibly controlled in place.

When the Knight Paliano saw the lady in distress, he immediately went forward to rescue her, but was entangled by a group of mummy dancers. The siege of six golden assassins made the Rose Knight distracted, and after a few seconds he was nailed by three sunwood spikes that were specially designed for vampires, which made Paliano let out an undignified cry of pain.

this kind of thing
These bastards obviously came prepared!

"boom"

In the chaos, the Beta Seal Component of the Warmaster's Arms was pushed by the flight backpack accelerator and smashed into the Pharaoh's throne. The Pharaoh, who had lost his mind, was then placed by Murphy into the open bio-capsule-like jar.

"Khufu! Fulier! This device can temporarily suppress the chaos toxins in the Pharaoh's body."

Murphy turned around and pulled out the necessary evil. At the moment he spread his wings and broke through, he said to the panicked crown prince and princess:

"Everyone except you is a suspect. Don't let anyone else touch him! Take him to the Holy City of Origin. I will wait for you there. Don't be afraid! The Creator is watching here, and I will not sit idly by.

Please protect yourself!"
