My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1560 1557. If there is no tomorrow, remember the present
"Your strategy may sound outrageous, but it works, Your Majesty."

On the bridge of the Scarlet Dawn, First Officer Solma responded to Murphy in disbelief:

"According to your instructions, we input Ms. Erza's completely inaccurate direction into the system, then turned on the power and allowed the ship to sail erratically. Logically, we should be spinning in place, but the fact is that we are indeed approaching the source of the Omega's signal.

According to Ms. Erza’s re-perception, at the current speed, we are still seven hours away from the Creator’s flagship.”

“Don’t use time to determine distance, Solma. There is no concept of time or space in the Sunless Sea. Everything you describe is your understanding based on your judgment. However, the fact is that all rules are invalid in this place.

Including our sanity."

Murphy waved his hand and said:
"Perhaps we will reach our destination in the next second, or perhaps it will take us a whole thousand years to get close to the Omega. Luck... No, the low-probability events in the chaotic system are what we are pursuing.

You don't have to stay here, go and rest.

The ship does not need anyone to operate it at the moment, just let it continue to float like this, as long as it does not stop moving forward, this is the fastest way to reach the destination. "

First Mate Solma felt that this was not in line with the ethics of a captain, but he could not voice any objection when he took one look at the quicksand-like illusion of a huge abandoned city passing by the ship outside the window.

Taking another look at the briefcase beside Murphy and the special protective gear worn by the Scarlet Lord, he knew that Murphy was ready to take on the most deadly mission, so he decided to leave this final time to him and his family.

Thinking of this, the first mate accepted the order and left the bridge with the other crew members.

After quieting down here, Murphy leaned back in the captain's chair a little tiredly and closed his eyes. The experience of escaping from the chaos creatures and undergoing a special transformation just now left him no time to observe the changes in himself. He then pulled out the character card and took a look at it, and found that it was just as Erza said.

His biological template has an additional special label of "Subspace Creature (Transforming)" based on the original "Vampire/Scarlet Lord".

This is a brand new life template, and all its information is "???", so that before the transformation is completed, even Murphy himself does not know what kind of gifts or negative states he will get from it.

However, just when he and his ship entered the Lightless Sea, his Creator Points strangely increased by one point:
[You did not enter the Sunless Sea through the safe method preset by [DATA DELETED]. You completed the life-threatening adventure with your own strategy and successfully opened up the first 'safe route' from the material world into the Sunless Sea.

Your decisions and actions perfectly match the symbol of the pioneer, Creator Points +1, currently 5 points.

Because your Creator Points are ≥5, the level of the special Golden Rule Core "Pioneer" is +1!

The newly unlocked enhancement effects for level 5 pioneers are as follows:

Single reinforcement:

You have become the representative of the symbol of order, so the area you walk in will be given the "Order Anchoring" effect. All progress in the chaotic land will weaken the influence of the chaotic area, and grant certain full attribute enhancement and mental protection effects to the members of the order camp who enter this road later.

Group reinforcement:

The more members of the Order camp walk through the "Order Anchoring" area and the more times they walk through it, the stronger the "Order Anchoring" effect of the area will be, until it overwhelms the Chaos Symbol in the area and transforms it into a land of Order.

Special Instructions:

You're pretty good, you know? I left some special parts in the Underdark that can be used to repair the World Heart's locator.

If you had followed my guidance from the beginning, you would not have to risk your life to open up a safe route in the Sunless Sea. Instead, you could have been directly teleported to the Omega through the locator in the Heart of the World.

Of course, that road means that we will meet a few years or even a dozen years later.
But considering that you are a pioneer, it is normal to go off the beaten path. Come on! The delicious food I prepared will be unpalatable if it gets cold.

Oh, by the way, there's a 'new guest' on your ship.

But don't worry about it, and don't even look for it. It's not a threat, just an overly curious little creature. Just pretend it doesn't exist. You won't be able to deal with it even if you find it.
-
[DATA EXPUNGED] is preparing the meal and waiting for guests to arrive.

】

"Ok?"

After reading these hints, Murphy was quite interested in the "new guest" who lived in the spaceship, but he knew with a little thought that it must be some "monsters and demons" in this lightless sea who sneaked in.

The Creator said not to worry, but Murphy thought he'd better go and take a look.

So he left the bridge, ready to look for the uninvited guy and ask him to pay his "friendship fee" first, but when he passed the rest cabin, he heard a cry.

The tone of the drawn-out voice sounded like an opera, which made Murphy feel embarrassed.

He wanted to ignore it, but he knew that if he didn't, the result would be very bad. So he walked towards the direction where the crying sound came from helplessly. When he opened the door, he saw Tris lying on the bed, sobbing sadly.

"What's wrong? My Cuibao."

Murphy walked over and sat beside the bed and asked softly. Tris, who was crying without tears, glared at him and said:
"I just saw another Scarlet Dawn outside the window"

"I saw it too. I saw it when we entered the Sunless Sea. The other you even greeted me with a smile on your face, but that's nothing. Adele said she also saw a strange ship."

Murphy explained:
"No matter what you saw, it was just a simulated projection of the uncertain future by the Lightless Sea. It is not real, it is just a possibility."

"Shut up!"

Tris scolded:
"You have no idea what I saw. On that shabby ship were me, Adele, and Shani, but not you! Did you know that we took everyone with us when we returned? But you were the only one missing.

You, a heartless fellow, must have abandoned us and followed the Creator to a more interesting world to enjoy life, leaving us poor creatures here to wait for you day after day."

"I told you that's not true."

Murphy sighed and comforted Trish:
"You don't have to beat around the bush. You know I promised you I won't leave."

"But I did see a ship, Master Murphy. It was no joke, nor was it an illusion."

Adele, who appeared at the hatch at some point, sighed and said:

“I didn’t see a scene as desperate as Tris, but the Scarlet Dawn I saw had been twisted into an unspeakable evil. The entire ship had turned into something like a chaotic shadow, covered with indescribable flesh tentacles and blood-red eyeballs fixed to the hull, and there were strange snake-like creatures roaming in the cabin.

I don’t see us in it.

But if the ship really becomes like that in the future, I think it might be more merciful for us to die here."

"come over."

Murphy hugged Tris and waved to Adele, letting E-girl sit next to Murphy obediently, allowing the Scarlet Lord to embrace her on both sides and enjoy the blessing of having two women together. The two ladies leaned on his shoulders, and the three of them stayed here quietly, enjoying the rare peace in this inexplicable and indescribable weird world.

"There's something I need to tell you."

Murphy whispered:
"The Scarlet Dawn can only stay in the shallow layer of the Lightless Sea. It cannot go deep into the source of chaos. Once it gets close, it will be assimilated by the source of chaos. This means that I will soon leave this ship and walk with Erza."

"do not want!"

Trish fiercely locked Murphy's wrist and screamed:
"I want to go with you. We agreed on this! It doesn't matter if I am assimilated. I want to die in your arms so that you will remember me forever!" "Me too."

Adele on the other side also said in a strong tone:
"This is the only reason why Tris and I abandoned our duties in the Order War and followed you here. We can't let you go down that path alone."

"But you've come this far with me."

Murphy obviously anticipated their reactions.

He shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be relaxed, took out an exquisite box from his pocket, and opened it in front of the two ladies. Inside were three special rings, each with a red crystal embellished on the ring face, and all other details were exactly the same.

Murphy took the ring and put it on Trish's finger, then put another ring on Adele's hand, and the last one on his own hand. He said:

"This is a ring I commissioned the blacksmith Ms. Fendil to make for us. It doesn't have any extra functions, but it can allow you to capture the symbolism of my presence. You just wait for me here, and it will glow when I come back."

Murphy said softly:
"This way you will know immediately that I have returned from that meeting to this world that I love, and to you whom I love. Be good, I can't let you follow me on that road and risk disappearing."

"Fuck! You think you can get rid of me with a broken ring?"

Tris exploded on the spot.

She jumped up and kicked Murphy onto the bed, and while taking off her clothes she shouted to Adele:
"Close the door! You come too. If his legs become weak, he might not be able to leave."

Well, Murphy was lying on the bed, even resting his head on his arms, watching Tris tossing around like crazy with a leisurely look on his face, until his eyes were covered by Adele with her favorite thing from another direction, and he had a smile on his face that deserved a beating.

He is about to go on an adventure and may not come back. Can't he enjoy himself before leaving?
Although this kind of thing is vulgar and tacky, it is indeed very relaxing.

Unfortunately, Tris and Adele obviously underestimated the super bonus that the mythical creature template of Blood Ancestor brought to Murphy. Especially as the vampire civilization steadily advanced, Murphy's combat effectiveness was hard to say, but his endurance was improving every day.

After all, as the "Legendary King of Endurance", it would be a bit too embarrassing if he couldn't even do such a small thing.

After struggling for a long time, Murphy received a program prompt from the bridge.

The Scarlet Dawn was about to reach the shallow edge of the Sunless Sea, and the starship could no longer move forward the rest of the way. This also meant that it had completed more than half of the journey and was very close to the location where the Omega sank.

Murphy put on his clothes, and finally bent down to kiss the foreheads of Tris and Adele who were stacked together on the bed. Looking at the sparkling rings on their clasped fingers, he smiled, picked up his suitcase and left the cabin.

But on the way to the bridge, the moment he entered the elevator, as the door slid open, Murphy saw Shani leaning in the elevator staring at him with a strange look.

"Will you send me off too?"

Murphy smiled and said to Shani in the elevator:
"I don't know how long it will take me to come back, so while Tris and Adele are in an unstable mood, please help me take care of them."

"No way! You can handle your own woman yourself."

Shani said coldly.

Just when Murphy was about to ease the atmosphere, he saw Shani suddenly ejected the Fallen Virtue's combat claw, and one claw pierced into the control panel of the elevator in front of him. The moment this thing was destroyed, the rapidly rising elevator was stuck in the center of the ship with a click.

Facing the stunned Murphy, Shani shrugged her shoulders, and with her high ponytail bouncing behind her head, she complained:

"If you don't want to die, you have to use a more direct method. I'm really impressed by these two losers, Tris and Adele. Don't they know that they can't just tie you up when you're having too much fun?"

"They know they can't stop it, just like you know you can't stop it either."

Murphy shook his head and said:
"Don't be so stubborn, Shani, we are already friends, I will come back."

"But you are taking a risk, and there is a high probability that you will not come back."

Shani sighed and said:

"You may need a little encouragement, just like my mother would give my father every time he went to war."

She walked forward, grabbed Murphy's head and pulled him down, blocking Murphy's response with a kiss. As the elevator sounded an alarm, Shani said in Murphy's ear with some strange desire:
"I've read the maintenance regulations. This thing will be fixed in fifteen minutes. We only have fifteen minutes left."

"Your talk about anything related to time in the Sunless Sea is bound to be a joke. What's more, I am the captain, and I always have privileges."

Murphy reached out and knocked on the buzzing elevator control panel, and the warning sound stopped. He looked back at Shani and said:
"We still have plenty of time. My only question is, should we start?"

"Don't be stupid!"

Xia Ni, with her shoulders half exposed, scolded:

"Don't think too much about it. It's just a little encouragement to the travelers. Hurry up and finish it. I'm still busy."

"So, you never learn to be honest, right?"

Murphy, who was always a gentleman, grabbed Shani's hair and pulled her in front of him a little roughly. When their eyes met, he stared at Shani who was evasive and said:
"Considering that I may not come back, can't you show your true heart? Just this once. Tell me, Shani."

He looked into those eyes that were once as cold as the wind in the wilderness, until he saw the ice and snow in those eyes melt, the permafrost thaw, and spring come into being.

Shani, who was quite conservative, did not answer, but she used actions instead of words.

"Please."

In the narrow elevator space, at the end of the storm, Shani let her golden hair fly up and down and leaned against the cold elevator wall. She hugged Murphy tightly and called in his ear with the lightest voice:

"You must come back. Not only Tris and Adele, but there are many people who don't want you to leave."

"Be more honest!"

"You're fine, alright."

She closed her eyes tiredly, leaned her head on Murphy's shoulder, and said as her body trembled like the cold wind:

"I don't want you to leave either."

"So good. Wait with hope, I'll be back!"

Murphy heard the answer he wanted to hear, and after this Nordic "encouragement" ended, he walked into the bridge in high spirits. Ms. Erza was ready for a long journey. She glanced at Murphy and said:
"We're leaving now. Are you sure you've done everything you need to do?"

"maybe."

The Scarlet Lord shrugged, looked at the long golden hair in his hand, and said:
"But now that we have reached the point where we should move forward, we can no longer stop. May you and I find what we seek on this one-way road, ma'am."
