1532: 515.
Oh no, Murphy and his Aunt Shani are having an affair_3 1532: 515.
Oh no, Murphy and his Aunt Shani are having an affair_3 I suppose every Duke must go through such matters.
I spent a hundred years surreptitiously investigating until a passing Sanghai Priestess from Nordtof let slip that what I’d seen was related to the creator’s lost history.
I must make a journey to the Origin Land…
But now all known Origin Lands on the continent are under the control of the Sanghai People, and the Origin Land you all discovered is most likely the key to uncovering those visions of the past.”
“No, Shani!
I’ve been there, I’ve studied there, and my condition hasn’t improved.”
Triss whispered in dissuasion:
“Entering there won’t do you any good, and as for whether you can get in, that’s up to Murphy, the curator.”
“Hmm, then the problem is simple.”
Shani squatted down with a quirky smile and gazed into Murphy’s eyes, saying:
“So, little Mo Fei, what price must Auntie Shani pay for you to allow your poor aunt to enter your wondrous Murphy’s place in search of so comfort for her soul?”
“Please stop stirring trouble between Triss and ; that is my only request.”
Murphy sighed and said:
“Go if you wish.
If it can strengthen the trust between us, I would happily take you inside.
However, I have to ask, those strange images you ntioned earlier…
Can they really only be seen by the Bloodline Dukes?”
“Hmm.”
This ti, it was Triss who answered him.
The Crimson Witch caressed Murphy’s hair, saying:
“It’s a legend, one I did not believe in until my first night as the Blood Vulture Duke.
I saw fragnts of those inexplicable images; without logic, without pattern, like shattered glass, totally incomprehensible until you piece them all together.
In the Origin Land, I wanted to spend ti like Shani to verify these things, but not only did I co up empty-handed, it also made those mories in my mind even more aggressive…”
“Hmm, so the unprovoked anger you had the other day had nothing to do with our encounter that night?
It was just because you couldn’t find peace of mind?”
Murphy blinked and said:
“That’s a relief; I thought my excessive request really bothered you.”
“Cough cough, if you two don’t mind, I’m very curious about what you two did in the Origin Land?”
Shani had a gossip-thirsty look on her face as she asked:
“Did evil Triss finally make a move on the pure Murphy?
How far did you guys go?”
“Shani!”
Triss sprung to her feet with an angry scream.
She clearly didn’t want to talk about it, furiously grabbed a docunt, gave Murphy a glare, and teleported away.
The Witch Madam was genuinely angry now because of Murphy’s tactless mouth.
But right after Triss left in sha and rage, the expressions of Shani and Murphy in the room turned solemn at the sa ti.
Murphy bent down to prop up his chin, and in a whispering voice said to Shani squatting before him:
“About ‘Origin’, what else have you found out?
Why do you think she must be related to Triss?”
“What about you?”
Lady Shani revealed a smile befitting a married woman, and unyieldingly counter-asked:
“You remained silent just now, but from your deliberate act of vexing Triss to have this private talk with , it’s clear you’re also hiding sothing from Triss!
You’ve already found out the secret she has been trying to cover up, haven’t you?
If you want information from , you need to give sothing I’m interested in first.”
“Origin…”
Murphy hesitated for a mont, then said:
“Her na is Luna Christian Amagil, a Forest Elf, and very likely the first Blood Descendant of Triss.
According to the clues I’ve found, she should be dead, killed at the mont Salockdale hard Triss.
She was slain by Salockdale’s necessary evil in an attempt to protect Triss.”
Truth be told, I don’t think Salockdale would make such a mistake; he wasn’t insane at the ti.
As a Duke, he definitely wouldn’t leave loose ends after killing soone.
Therefore, I lean more towards the notion that this ‘Origin’ is likely a special Undead.
This could also explain her proficiency with death magic.”
“All wrong!”
Lady Shani shook her head and said:
“Origin is a living Vampire, which the Helms Cavalry can confirm.
Moreover, they had a skirmish with Origin just four years ago.
I trust the judgnt of those ancient families on this matter.
As for why she is proficient in death magic…
Perhaps it’s because of Origin’s experiences in the Sanghai Empire?”
Thorns Duke chuckled and pulled out a piece of paper, exuding a distinctive “fragrance,” from her clothes and tucked it into Murphy’s palm, whispering:
“Traces left by Origin in the Sanghai Empire have been found by the Night Walker that I have arranged in the Origin Land.
That fellow sneaked into the Moon Holy City with Triss before.
Maybe after being slain by Salockdale, she went there in a peculiar way.
In any case, I am certain you would risk everything for Triss, so these fragnts of disordered and not very valuable information are now yours.
If you ever get the chance to go to the Sanghai Empire, maybe you could help us root out that bastard.
But I hope you can be patient.
Patience is the most important thing when confronting an organization like Twilight.
Don’t try to cut corners and end things quickly.
We must proceed steadily and with firm steps.
Contact once you are fully prepared to hunt, Auntie Shani is more than willing to help you on this matter.
Also, consider this information related to your dear Triss as the admission fee to the creator’s land.
Now, you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about it, right?”
Murphy looked at the stacked papers in his hand.
After a while, he smiled and said to Shani:
“I finally understand why you’re nicknad ‘Winter Fox,’ Lady Shani.
You’re indeed cunning and very good at leveraging your intelligence.
I can now wholeheartedly consider you a trustworthy friend.
Moreover, could you describe those incomplete visions you ntioned?”
“Why do you want to know about those?”
Shani got up and toyed with her braid, saying:
“Although I disagree with Triss’s overly indulgent ‘parenting style,’ I agree with her view on this matter.
It’s only troubleso for vampires other than the Dukes to know about this.”
“What if I told you…”
Murphy gripped the hilt of the necessary evil, whispering:
“I’ve seen similar things as well.
Would that surprise you?”
“Hm?”
Shani turned sharply, looking at Murphy, and said:
“Are you serious?”
Murphy then recounted the strange visions he saw when he tad the necessary evil, and as Shani listened, her expression beca increasingly “entertained.”
It wasn’t until Murphy finished that the Thorns Duke, rubbing her aching head, sat back down on the chair.
She said:
“Alright, it does sound consistent with the fragnted images we’ve seen.
Then I’ll tell you about the unknown territory that I saw.”
“That place is called ‘Eden’!”
Murphy interrupted Shani, saying:
“I guess, the scenes we witnessed all relate to the mont Eden was destroyed by so event.
I’m just curious, why can Vampire Dukes see these things?
I have an unfounded hunch that the reason might significantly help us unravel the mystery of the birth of the vampire clans, and why we describe ourselves with the ‘Seven Deadly Sins.’
Yes!
This answer is very important to all vampires.”
