Chapter 1703: 569. The first step to slaying a god: start by digging graves – additional content for the brother “Huo Zheng Ting Hao” [11/30]_3
Murphy walked out of the temple with his hands behind his back, feeling cheerful, and saw Adel and two half-elf elders waiting for him. As Murphy approached, Adel imdiately reported:
“Master, I will personally lead the two elders and several half-elf officers from the valley to Transylvania. Do you have any other instructions?”
“Take care of our friends, let them explore Transylvania, and see the new ho we’ve created with our own hands.”
Murphy said to Adel:
“I believe our half-elf friends will see the resolve of the Transia People to withstand disaster, which will reassure them in considering Transylvania as their future ho.
Furthermore, how to arrange Veylanther’s shadow elves is an issue. I’ve already instructed Veylanther to cleanse her shadow elf followers, ensuring the remaining ones are Loyalists, and then integrating them into the Blood Vulture Clan.
However, their faction identity is subtle, so I’d like you to lead and manage them.
I know, Adel, I know you’re very resistant to everything related to shadow elves, but the problem is, apart from you, there’s no other suitable candidate in the Blood Vulture Clan to lead these elf vampires.”
Faced with Murphy’s proposal, Adel looked very resistant; her aversion to shadow elves was genuine. But after a few seconds, Adel looked up at Murphy.
She bit her lip and asked:
“Master, do you wish to see lead these evil beings for you?”
“Yes, I hope this is the best solution I can think of.”
Murphy replied seriously, and E Sister took a deep breath, nodding and saying:
“Then I will accept this order, and will convince myself to accept these people I do not like, because it is your order.”
Adel’s decisiveness made Murphy blink.
He said:
“You can actually refuse, you don’t have to force yourself because of my order… Well, to be honest, Adel, you might already know about the destruction of jewa City, but certainly not the details.
That city was destroyed by the Ratman along with insiders; those guys are servants of Dusk, and Dusk is our enemy.
This ans that if the confrontation continues, we are highly likely to head to the city of your birth; you understand what I an? I know you don’t like it there, but you have to prepare for the worst possible outco.”
Adel fell silent.
The news brought by Murphy weighed on her; E Sister’s early life was focused on disentangling from the Shadow Elf Bloodline, but her later life couldn’t escape those past shadows.
It seems even destiny requires her to confront those mories hoped to be forgotten; the story involving her and her mother and father is far from over.
And only now did Adel realize Murphy’s intent in asking her to lead those Shadow Elf Vampires.
She hesitated a mont, then softly asked:
“Are you… are you going to help them rebuild jewa City? I suppose that cunning Weaver of Destiny, Veylanther, definitely uses this condition as a bargaining chip for allegiance.”
“Yes, I promised, but it doesn’t an I really have to do it.”
Murphy trusted Adel greatly. He explained to Adel:
“Even if we were to eventually rebuild that City of Shadow Elves, I wouldn’t give it to Veylanther. If we have a plan for shadow elves in the future, then the only candidate for jewa City’s leader in my mind is…
The Vampire Governor placed his hand on Adel’s shoulder; he could feel E Sister’s body trembling.
He said:
“You! Adel! No one is more suited to rule that city than you, but don’t worry, it’s just a preparation for a future possibility. I won’t force you to accept a destiny you’re unwilling to embrace, just like I hope you refuse that excessive request I just made.
You are already free; you can say ‘no’ to the world.”
“I can, but it doesn’t an I want to.”
E Sister bowed her head and said:
“I just don’t want to add more trouble for you, just as you gave a hundred years to think about the future, I think I will ultimately return to you.
If you want to beco the City Lord of jewa City, then I will convince myself; not because I deeply desire it, but because you hope it.
That’s all.”
“Hmm, Adel, you’ve kind of scared , really.”
Murphy sighed and said:
“Well, well, let’s talk about these things later. For now, please lead our guests to tour Transylvania. They’re also your kin; doing sothing for them might lift your spirits.”
“Okay, then goodbye, Master.”
Adel bowed and took her leave. After she left, Murphy stood silently in the darkness of the Shadow Valley, until ten seconds later, he turned back to look at a stone behind him.
The Pure Love Knight, Palano, was standing there, gazing at him.
This guy was holding a gold dagger adorned with roses, which wasn’t his usual weapon, but Murphy could basically guess what the Rose Knight intended to do with it.
“I can explain!”
Murphy shouted, and the Pure Love Knight sneered, saying:
“No need to explain! I only see a fallen elder seducing progeny; I declare, you are no longer the beautiful thing in my heart, you filthy creature. Return my rose! You don’t deserve it!”
“Ah, I think I can actually salvage this, really.”
Murphy covered his face, sighing:
“Believe , Palano, I haven’t done anything wrong; to prevent Adel’s mind from being further warped by the Blood Covenant, I even gave her the Origin Blood! She’s no longer my progeny. This is a secret known to only a few.”
“Hmm?”
Palano, about to snatch the rose from Murphy, paused.
He looked at Murphy suspiciously, and the latter returned a helpless gaze. After confirming Murphy was not lying, Palano also hesitated a bit.
“Have you encountered this sort of thing before, with all your experience?”
Murphy whispered:
“Can you give so advice? Big guy.”
“Hmph, how could such a relationship occur between a vampire elder and progeny? Which elder would willingly give up a promising progeny like Ms. Adel?
Probably only you would gift precious Origin Blood, especially when the Sacred Blood Pool of the Blood Vulture is already destroyed.
Truly generous.”
The Golden Knight smirked and said:
“I’ve never seen this situation before. Fine, I will temporarily allow you to keep my rose, but I’ll be watching you, base Murphy! Dare to break the vow, and my rose garden shall surely find a burial place for you in it.”
