Chapter 1960: Chapter 654: You Actually Had a Backup Plan? Truly Worthy of the King of Bone Biting! (Part 2)
“No need, Master.”
Adel clearly enjoyed this attention. She showed a weak smile and said:
“I can still manage. Shadow Valley also has places to rest. Once you complete your business, I can return on my own. You don’t have to worry.”
“That sounds like I’m a heartless leader, but you and I both know that’s not the case.”
Murphy shook his head and said:
“I’ve discovered an interesting truth this ti. A group of Blood Vulture traitors have ford their own small clan independent of the seven great clans, called ‘Death Fang.’ For now, this is information exclusive to us, but you might be able to follow up on this lead to gain so intelligence advantages.
By the way, do you like drinking coffee?”
This strange question made Adel blink, and she said:
“Not particularly, but I don’t dislike it. My tastes in this area are quite mixed. But if you need to, I can make myself like the taste of coffee.”
“Never mind then.”
Murphy rolled his eyes and said:
“I intended to give you a precious gift, but those things clearly require a cultural touch to master. Let pick out another gift for you, for your birthday… on the 24th of next month, right?”
“Yes, it’s remarkable you still rember such trivial matters.”
Adel lowered her head and said:
“I shouldn’t take up more of your ti, Master.”
“Rest well. You can’t even hide the smile on your face. Truly a person who says one thing and ans another.”
Governor Murphy shrugged and walked over to Count Andrei.
Tonight, Count Bai of White Mountain really put in a lot of effort. He brought all twenty of the elite assassins from his faction to the Dark Mountain Range, participating in this event so dangerous that a single misstep could lead to total annihilation.
But it turned out that Andre’s assassins were indeed highly skilled. In two hours, they consecutively assassinated three Silver Voodoo Sorcerers and their faction mbers without losing a single one of their own.
This has proven that Andre has recruited truly outstanding people, and the “Twin Dancers” by his side, wearing Nordtof-style black-and-white masks, are his bodyguards. According to White Mountain’s loyal servant Vista, these twin girls grew up with Andre.
They, like Vista, have devoted all their loyalty and strength to Count Bai of White Mountain.
Their nas are a mystery, but Andre simply refers to them as his “left hand” and “right hand,” a title that clearly signifies trust and importance, but always makes Murphy’s mind wander to more indecent thoughts.
Could Andre an “Left Da” and “Right Da”?
After all, Count Bai of White Mountain is a handso and noble figure, healthy and vigorous, and it’s quite normal to have two childhood loves. Even Palano wouldn’t find anything terribly wrong with it.
Obviously, the pure love of the Rose Knight is built upon the mores of this era’s society.
“Hey, this good stuff is yours now.”
Murphy gifted his initially intended present for Adel to his friend, Andre, who was reading a poetry collection and initially had no intention of bothering. After a big battle, he needed to adjust his mindset, but once he opened the psychic package, he was stunned.
“This…”
The very tasteful Count of White Mountain looked at the oddly shaped manual coffee grinder in the psychic package and exclaid:
“This is a grinder handcrafted by the first generation of Half-body Man master chanics. It has a literary na, ‘Hearth Ti.’ I saw my literature professor who had one in his collection during my studies at the Circle Tower.
He regarded it as his life’s most valuable collection, and it’s said that there are no more than 20 such grinders remaining worldwide.
Not to ntion, the condition of this grinder is so good; it’s an ultimate treasure among collectibles!
Where did you find it?
How could there be such a treasure in Wolf People’s territory?”
“That’s not all. Look, it also cos with a set of coffee brewing recipes, but as a rough man, I can’t appreciate it.”
Murphy sat next to Andrei and said:
“Only soone high-society like you could understand its true value.”
“Of course, I understand these things very well. Although I personally prefer tea to coffee, my sister, due to her long-term need to manage affairs, is almost addicted to coffee. She will certainly like this gift.”
Andrei did not even conceal his simp-like manner, making Murphy shake his head, but this was between the siblings, and it wasn’t his place to interfere.
He could only watch Count Bai of White Mountain take up and carefully read the insights personally written by the Coffee Cultist.
Though the cooperation between the Blood Vulture Clan and the White Mountain Faction had entered a new stage, the relationship between allies always required balancing and maintenance. Giving Andre so war spoils could enhance the prestige of his count friend a little.
Murphy knew he would one day have to confront Nordtof, and when that ti ca, Andre’s stance would be crucial.
Fortunately, he had fully understood Andre’s key points. Andre was not entirely loyal to Nordtof but simply dedicated everything to his sister with hopes for reciprocation…
Hmm, there was so room for maneuver in this.
Murphy did not prepare a gift for the Palano Knight, but the Rose Knight did not need such things.
