My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1408 1405. What? The "companion mission" of the eldest lady and Xia Ni was triggered at this time?

The news Shani brought was shocking.

The assassination of old Edward was not surprising in itself. This love-crazy guy had offended a lot of dangerous bastards over the past thousand years, and those bastards living in the shadows had a million reasons to attack him.

However, Edward's serious injury and disappearance was indeed a big problem.

When Murphy told the Lord about this, Lord Paying ended the unbearably lengthy discussion of rules among the envoys from various countries on the spot. He rushed to the swamp restricted area as quickly as possible. When Mr. Aurora tore through the space and appeared at this time, the eldest lady also rushed over in a hurry.

Well, today’s young lady is dressed in the classic red and white outfit of a “shrine maiden”, with a bow on her back. She is probably cosplaying as Kikyo, so cute.

Alas, this guy who is addicted to watching anime is really hopeless.

She was the worst among the "Blood Eagle Three" formed by Maxim, Adele and her. She couldn't even catch up with the mechanical faction of Sharon, who has now become the "Chosen One of Rose". Although the Midnight Faction still occupies the mainstream of Transia's psychic circle, and the reputation of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is also resounding in Transia and its surrounding areas, it is really not enough on the mainland.

Not to mention that the eldest lady's personal reputation is completely not on the same level as the now famous "White Ghost" and "Lady Shadow".

However, all this cannot affect the eldest lady's daily laughter and happiness, nor can it affect her satisfaction when she hides in different places every day to watch anime.

Perhaps it is because of the lack of love since childhood that Femis has an extraordinary love for entertainment in other worlds. But the fact that neither Murphy nor Tracy interferes shows that the eldest lady is never vague about major issues. So, could it be that this little bastard who slacks off is also a genius at getting by?

But she can't get by today.

Because what happened in Green Island was inextricable from her.

"You said, my mother, no, Lady Cecilia assassinated old Edward?"

This was the first sentence that the eldest lady said as she flapped her wings and flew down. When she asked her question, Xia Ni shook her head with a dead look on her face and said:
"I didn't say that! I just think this is the most likely scenario. On Green Island, the person who could get close to Edward and carry out the assassination must be an acquaintance. Such people can be counted on one hand, and the most suspicious one among them is your crazy mother.

do not forget.

She is a member of Twilight and a descendant of Edward. Her dual identities give her a great advantage. "

"But logically speaking, Old Edward should be very wary of Cecilia."

The Lord frowned and said:
"I left Cecilia's Wolf Griffin faction under Edward's nose so that he could keep an eye on her. Over the past year or so, he has done a good job of this task. It seems that he handed over the territory of Greeny Island to Cecilia, but in fact, he trapped her in Greeny's shadow.

This is also illustrated by the fact that the Wolf Griffin faction was not present in many of the past dusk operations.

Old Edward was the 'jailer' I appointed myself. He shouldn't be so careless. My recent instructions to him were to deal with Cecilia secretly and not cause any more trouble, which was not a problem for Edward at all.

After all, Cecilia is his descendant, and it is impossible for her to rebel under the constraints of the blood pact.

And the reappearance of 'corrupted virtue'
There is something weird about this whole thing, as if someone deliberately instigated it."

"It happened suddenly, but it's not a bad idea to solve it now. Anyway, we are going to fight a decisive battle, so it is necessary to deal with these hidden dangers in advance, but we have to be quick."

Murphy took out his pocket watch to check the time and said to the others:

"The summons for the Gray Expedition to foreigners is scheduled for three days from now. I don't want to postpone the real big thing because of this matter, so, resolve this emergency within three days!
Femmis, I know you're preoccupied with the lawsuit and your mind must be in turmoil, but it's time to settle the remaining family affairs between you and your crazy mother.

Immediately call on all warriors participating in this quest chain!

Recruit elite troops in the name of 'Scarlet Devil Mansion' and your personal accompanying mission, and Tristana will be responsible for sending us to Green Island.

I’ll give you three hours!”

"Oh."

The eldest lady bit her lip. She was indeed caught off guard, but she did not refute Murphy's order. Instead, she turned and left to gather her entourage.

Murphy looked at Adele who had come over and said:
"Take the Gray Claw Twins to Cato and contact Count Wolfsbane there. If Ms. Laura still intends to take back her father's territory, then invite her to go with you. Remember to bring along Eris's family of werewolves.

This time, when it comes to hunting vampires, it is time for Marcus and his pack of wolves to show their skills.

There are already enough of them, and it is time for them to step onto the stage of continental civilization.”

"Ah."

Adele also turned and left.

Finally, Murphy looked at the Lord and whispered:
"I have to ask you to go, my lord, to Plantagenet Palace to 'talk' with King Louis. This matter is an internal matter of vampires. Please give King Louis some convenience in the next three days. His two queens will also cooperate with you.

We will keep a low profile as much as possible.

But if the situation really gets out of control, I hope Louis will be more tolerant.

I can basically guarantee that after we leave, there will be no more remnants of Dusk in the Fog City, which can be considered as helping King Louis clean up the 'living room' of his home.

After all, from the perspective of a ruler, although King Louis can turn a blind eye to the Wolf Poison Clan, if he can use this opportunity to completely control the Wolf Poison Clan of Greene Island, I think a lord like King Louis will not miss this opportunity. "

"This is my job, Murphy. Old Edward is my brother. I can't just ignore him."

The lord nodded, and glanced at the silent Shani with subtle eyes. He patted Murphy's shoulder meaningfully, then rode on Uncle Aurora who was winking at Murphy, and disappeared in the wind in a flash.

"Shani, I need to talk to you."

Murphy said:
"We still have three hours. I don't expect to resolve your emotional issues in this time, but perhaps it will at least allow you to maintain the combat mentality that an assassin should have."

"Humph."

Tris held her little dragon and glanced at Murphy and Shani, snorted arrogantly, and then walked into the restricted area of ​​the swamp.

There are still three hours before departure, so she wants to take a shower, put on a facial mask and rest for a while, and also leave some space for her husband and the woman who might become her mistress, no, the fourth wife, to talk.

From this point of view, Tracy is really generous enough.

Of course, although she was the initiator of a series of dirty jokes about "Murphy X Shani", Tris still had confidence in Murphy. She believed that Murphy would not do anything indecent to Shani who was in this "broken heart" state.

Although little Murphy seems to be a playboy, he is actually a very conservative vampire. Whether it is Tris or Adele, they both move forward naturally after having enough emotional foundation. From this, it can be judged that Murphy's need for emotion is far greater than pure physical desire.

From this point of view, Tris doesn't need to worry that Shani will suddenly enter her and Murphy's relationship. The past between these two people was more of a collaborator than an ambiguous relationship.

"I'm fine now, Murphy. I don't need your so-called enlightenment."

After Tris left, Shani finally stopped hiding her true feelings and said to Murphy:

"You look like you want to help me, which really touches me, but look at the result of your last 'help'. So I advise you to stay away from me! For the sake of your life." "Very good, there is also hatred and disgust."

Murphy nodded and said:
"It's much better than a stagnant pool of water. What I fear most is that you will be devastated by the betrayal of your relatives. If that really happens, then you will be completely useless. You see, I didn't keep you alive just for some kind of obscene collecting habit.
I want to ask you, why haven't you given Andre the Lord of Thorns's Tablet of Jealousy yet?"

"Because he's not qualified!"

Shani shook her head and said:
“No matter your strength or character, you are totally inadequate to become the leader of the Thorn Clan!
Even from the most utilitarian point of view, there are still so many opposition factions in the Principality of Thorns that have not been purged! Those factions loyal to me are still waiting and watching, and Andre does not seem to intend to purge them with thunderous means, which makes me feel disappointed.

Therefore, before Andre completely controls the clan, I will not give him the Slate of Jealousy. Holding the Grand Duke's Certificate before he has enough ability to protect himself will only harm him.

The fact that he didn't ask for it shows that he knows the rules.

If he needed the blessing of the Slate of Envy to become the Duke of Thorns, then perhaps he shouldn't have had it in the first place.

Besides, this is our Thorn Clan's internal affairs, so please don't worry about it, Your Majesty the Midnight King."

"I just asked casually."

Murphy waved his hands and said:

“After confirming that you have no intention of harming Andre, I feel relieved. Andre is very talented, Shani. He just lacks some opportunities to show his abilities. Give him more time, and the Thorn Clan will realize that he is a qualified heir to the Grand Duke.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

And Andre will participate in our action on the Holy Blood Seal as the Regent of Thorns. Perhaps at that time he will become the most perfect heir in your eyes.

What’s more commendable is that he is much better than you.

At least in terms of desire for power, he has no lingering feelings at all.”

"Shut up! Murphy!"

Murphy's words hurt Shani and touched the most painful corner of Shani's heart. She raised her head and scolded while her braids were swinging:
"I have never been greedy for power! I have never clung to that damn power! I know why my father and my family died, I just don't want Angelina, Andre, and the country that my father built, the place I call 'homeland', to suffer another shameful rebellion.

I want to be the watcher in the dark night of Nordtorf.
That's the only thing I wanted to do, and you ruined it, Murphy, you ruined me!"

"See, that's the problem."

Murphy walked forward under Shani's murderous gaze. At the moment when they passed each other, he tilted his head and said:
"When you entered midnight, you already had your people, but you didn't cherish them at all. You should have been the watcher of the Torize clan. As for Nordtof,
Do not!
That country doesn't need you guarding it in the dark, sir.

You have been buried in the history of that country. You are already a dead person. Why do you always want to manipulate the world of the living?
You think I'm punishing you for your vampire heritage?

No, it's just Hades' duty.

Those who died at the turn of the pages of history should stay in the grave in the dark instead of always thinking about running out to play, which would scare people, Shani.

You frightened both Angelina and Andre.

They don't really want to hurt you, they just want you to go back to where you belong. They love you, so they asked me, the only vampire with a bit of kindness, to do this."

Murphy stopped and looked at Shani levelly, and asked:
"Now, tell me, what is your name? What is your last name? Who are you? The princess in distress? Or the thorny night walker at midnight?
This answer is really important.

It's important not only to me, but to you as well.

Each of us has our own place in the system of this world. Find it, Shani, and reposition your role in the world. I beg you. "

"How come this suddenly triggers the young lady's accompanying mission? And at this time!"

The Happy Stick Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Regiment is gathering urgently. Fifteen minutes ago, they were still participating in the cleanup of Hive No. 6 by the Werewolf Infantry. They were about to charge into the core of the hive when they were suddenly interrupted by the mission prompt.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry brothers asked Brother Bang about the lawsuit, but Brother Bang couldn't give a reason.

They couldn't refuse the mission yet.

On a personal level, the eldest lady's accompanying mission is related to the division of the Wolfsbane Clan's territory on Greene Island, and this matter is strongly tied to Bang Ge's little lover, Melia Kolando.

Since it is the "sister-in-law's" family affair, the passionate fighting brothers cannot sit idly by.

As for the public, the "Grey Claw Twins" and Count Laura of the Wolfsbane Clan have reached a cooperation agreement. Once Count Laura's Black Mane faction regains power, the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle will immediately be able to obtain a long-term share in the black trade on Greene Island.

This is an important source of funds for the future development of the guild.

Although there are only two epic quest chains, as long as they are completed, the long-term benefits are enough to rival a legendary quest chain, not to mention that the Scarlet Hammer and Scythe are now operated as a corporation in reality. The reward converted into RMB is enough for everyone to make a small fortune this month.

Since they are all good men who want to earn money to support their families, who would refuse the money that comes to their doorstep?

"I suspect something must have happened along the way that we are not aware of, but this accompanying mission is marked to be completed in no more than three days."

Happy Stick said to his brothers:
“The timing is pretty accurate. After finishing the work there, it’s just in time for the 4.0 plot update. I suspect that the stupid planners in the development team must have missed this plot before, so they made up for it at the last minute.

Pooh!
A bunch of slacking bastards! Why are Xiao Ashina, the Silver Moon Group, and the students coming here too? "

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Lin said with a pained look on his face:
"Amina and Missy are well-known 'best friends'. When they are not on a mission, they are always together. If I didn't know that Amina is of normal sexual orientation, I would have suspected that this was another exciting plot of the young lady being too close to her.

Now her best friend is going to kill her crazy mother. With Xiao Weiming's personality, how could she miss such a lively and spooky thing?
As for the student party.
Che Che is the chief psychic champion of the Scarlet Devil Mansion!

Although this title is not very valuable, if he, the top fighter, does not show up for the Scarlet Devil Mansion, then there will be real problems."

"Good thing!"

Bang Ge clapped his hands and said:

"With the addition of these new forces, it won't be an empty promise to finish it within three days. But since all the old brothers and sisters are going together, why not make it more lively! Lin, send a message to Wu Miao and Niu Niu to see if they want to join in the fun?

We will split the profits equally when the time comes. Anyway, with the trade agreement with the Blackmane faction and the profits from the Korando family treasure, we don’t need to worry about this little bit of loot."

"Should we find some power armor knights?"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldier came over and said:

"Anyway, we're going to do something big. This time, we're working under the nose of the stupid King Louis. If that guy dares to stop us, we'll just charge into the Plantagenet Palace and tie King Louis to the guillotine! Let him experience the 'super-sized treatment' of the real Louis XVI."

"It's not impossible."

Bang Ge thought about it and said:
"Then call them up, it will give us some extra strength."
