Targeted recruitnt and cultivation is the true path to success Although Murphy criticized Old Edward for lacking martial virtue by challenging a youngster with the dignity of an Ancient, he still accepted all the gifts sent to him without complaint.
After all, protective gear handcrafted by the top leatherworkers on the Continent speaks for itself, not to ntion its practical value.
Just wearing it was a form of outstanding wealth that would not depreciate—if one day the little players ssed up and had to flee with only the clothes on their backs, this set of leather armor could be sold at a high price anywhere.
In a sense, it equaled the Rolexes on the big guys’ wrists—show off during peaceti, and in tis of need, it could be liquidated for cash.
Of course, these were just Murphy’s inner complaints.
After returning to his office, he swiftly changed into the dark red protective gear and proudly conjured a Psychic Mirror with Spiritual Energy to admire himself.
Old Edward’s craftsmanship was beyond reproach.
The entire set of armor fit Murphy’s body perfectly—soft yet durable; it felt as light as a feather and didn’t hinder movent in the slightest.
Although the lack of a helt begged for critique, considering the quality of the gear was already exemplary, and wearing a helt would only hide Murphy’s handso face, it wasn’t really an insurmountable issue.
As his fingers touched the weapon belt fastened around his waist, the information tag for the complete set of protective gear appeared before his eyes:

Creator: [Duke Wolfsbane] Edward Spencer Gongro
Item Description:
[Edward had no intention of giving his perfect masterpieces to his enemies, so he chose the worst one from his newly made armor sets to gift to the young vampire lord.
Of course, ‘the worst’ is based on the master’s ticulous standards; for others, it is undoubtedly a veritable work of art.]
“I must say thank you, even if you’ve co to see as a thorn in your side and are always ready to stab when necessary.
But isn’t this just typical vampire behavior?
I’m not surprised in the slightest.”
Murphy humd to himself, dismissed the Psychic Mirror before him, and took the Wolf Vulture staff sword lying on the desk into his hand.
At that mont, he felt like he had beco a Wolfsbane spearman.
After all, the style of Old Edward’s armor fit his own aesthetic more than the artistic yet less practical and powerful family protective gear of the Blood Vulture Clan.
Murphy wasn’t averse to this style.
Sure, it was only underarmor which could be layered with more official Swordsman armor from Salockdale without giving anything away to onlookers.
“But I should really start looking for professionals in all fields for the Blood Vulture Clan from now on.
We can’t always be using others’ things; my clan needs its own incredibly crafted armor and protective gear as a symbol of the Blood Vultures.
‘Lady Shui’ is the designated master tailor for our clan, and even though she doesn’t seem eager to beco a vampire, as a player she’s always happy to serve the clan.
The two Forgemasters have room to improve, but they’re growing.”
Sitting in his chair, Murphy stroked his chin and pondered deeply, feeling it was essential to bias his selection of the next batch of ‘victims’ slightly towards the crafting professions.
With these thoughts in mind, Murphy logged into the online forum, unsurprised to find that his ‘Assistant Xiao Cui’ was lurking in the players’ group chat and eavesdropping on their conversations.
“Uh…”
Murphy touched his nose, suddenly recalling that when he had said goodbye to Little Cui, his own Duke couldn’t stop smiling while holding the Calculating Pearl—she must have been amused by the various jokes shared in the player group chat.
Speaking of which, her odd hobby of screen lurking wouldn’t result in adding a [Net Addict Auntie] tag to Little Cui’s profile, would it?
If that happened, it would certainly be a pity, ow.
