My players are so fierce.

Chapter 858 Chapter 857. When the mission begins to call again

Pablo and Claire soon woke up after completing the binding of their identities as civilized candidates. As the biological cabin slid open quietly, the dog man and woman hugging each other crawled out of the dormant fluid in a way that doubted life.

Andre, who was guarding here, was very gentlemanly and handed the bath towel with the logo of a daily necessities manufacturing company in Eden District to the two of them, which he had prepared a long time ago, and asked them to wrap themselves up and sit on the pure white steps next to them to think. A life that has just been completely changed.

Andrei, Nordtov's most famous poet and a self-described good explorer, had paper and pen ready.

He knew that he would definitely get first-hand information about the Golden Age from Pablo and Claire. Although he had heard many things from Murphy that shocked his three views before, witnessing this kind of thing with his own eyes was obviously more important now. Be convincing.

"So, what exactly did you see?"

Andre waited for several minutes but didn't see the two usually noisy guys speaking, so he took the initiative to ask.

This question brought the two of them back to their senses. Pablo opened his mouth. His evil face was filled with an expression of reshaping his outlook on life. He was about to speak when he heard Claire next to him rubbing his eyebrows and asking. :

"Where are Murphy and Tris? Why don't you see them?"

"Well, they went up to the upper levels to sort out some 'personal issues'."

Andre kept a few embarrassing details from his friend.

Just now he clearly saw Murphy, who was usually very gentleman, kissing Mrs. Tracey in a very direct way, and the latter seemed to be used to this suddenness. The two just kissed and left without even needing to You can guess what they went to do.

In this regard, Andre could only comment that the Governor of the Transians indeed had the temperament of a hidden Transian barbarian.

This kind of thing is so direct that it obviously fits some damn stereotypes outsiders have about that hellish place in Transia.

The pirate vampires were too shaken to think about the details. Faced with Andre's inquiry, Pablo organized his words and then irritably took out his cool pipe decorated with skulls and lit it.

In the smoke, he said hoarsely:
"We saw the destruction of Eden, the end of the Golden Age and the collapse of the Creator's divine blueprint. The memory of Archduke Charlemagne, hidden in blood, almost completely recorded the entire process of that terrible thing.

I finally understand why Murphy used the word "original sin" to describe that incident a few days ago.
If those memories are true, then it definitely makes sense that the whole world hates vampires. Even a heinous pirate like me would feel so dirty and evil because of the sins committed thousands of years ago. I think I must be Crazy, or maybe Murphy used that evil instrument to silently change my mind and turn me into a pirate saint.

But the fact is that our ancestors strangled a new world that had not yet been born in the infancy of civilization with their own hands."

"And conveniently destroyed the blueprint left by the Creator for this world. All hope for good things was completely cut off at that time. The future of this world was already dead in the past. It was the vampires who murdered it themselves."

Mate Claire, who used to be very bold in the past, behaved like a nervous and sad artistic girl at this moment. She snatched the pipe from Pablo's hand and took a strong puff, which relaxed her tense nerves a little.

Looking at Andre who was writing furiously to record this scene, she said:

"We also saw that when the end came, our Archduke Charlemagne, on the orders of Lord Paing, fought against Vidia, the leader of the Goatmen, in a sacred place called the 'Cage of the Old Gods', and in Before everything was buried by the fire falling from the sky, a vicious bullet blasted the evil goat man into the abyss of despair.
But this Vidya.
Could it be the 'Lord of Curses' in the Goatman legend?

We clearly see in ancient memories that it is just a powerful goat man spellcaster, a flesh and blood life that will bleed when hit, not the legendary god. "

"This may be because Vidya was indeed a mortal before falling into the Old God's Cage, but the cunning goatman leader made preparations in advance and took advantage of the best opportunity of the collapse of the Eden Zone to make his plan to gain power. Finally, a crucial step was taken.

The Eden District was destroyed and the Golden Age ended, but it gained the coveted crown of gods. The price was that it was sealed in the old god's cage for more than a thousand years. "

Murphy's voice sounded from outside the creature room, causing the three vampires inside to turn around at the same time to see Murphy, who had changed into a loose robe, walking in with an old book in his hand.

The book was rather worn but contained a majesty and power that was impossible to ignore.

"This is the Book of Curses!
The legendary paraphernalia of the King of Curses and the legendary treasure of the Goatman. Tris commented that the various knowledge recorded inside it is indeed worthy of being the number one treasure. But the problem is that Tris has also confirmed that it is in prison at this time. The caged King of Curses, Vidia, can contact the outside world through this book.

It's like the lord of darkness who has been trying to escape from his prison, and the nightmare tyrant who was sealed under the underground palace of Baphomet. "

Murphy lifted the book in his hand and explained:

"Vidia once expressed kindness to Tris through this book, so now the question becomes, should we return this book to the Goatmen so that they can find a way to release Vidia?

Will that guy who was a complete careerist and bastard in the last era suddenly have a conscience and turn into a good person that we can rely on in this era? "

"Based on our past experience, this transformation is certainly possible, provided we are living in a dream."

Pablo sneered and said:
"Perhaps the ancient memories of Archduke Charlemagne are affecting me, but at this moment I really feel that that guy is a scourge! We should get rid of him and burn this book! Completely destroy this hidden danger."

"But, I think it's not impossible to talk about it."

Claire rubbed her sore eyebrows and said weakly:

"The grudges of the older generation were settled long ago when the Eden District was destroyed. Now the subspace is the real enemy. Although Vidia has become an old god, as long as it does not want to surrender to the subspace and become a mindless degenerate Monster, on such a big issue of right and wrong, it can only stand with us.

But there are definitely risks.

It can be seen from the story of poor Lord Heather and the Lord of Darkness that although these old gods are not as powerful as the new gods, they are all guys with strange powers, and they must not be discussed on a regular basis.

Using our pirate method, before releasing that bastard, we must find a way to put a dog leash on it that will hurt if it disobeys. It is best to stuff a stick of dynamite in its belly with the detonator in our hands. "

"Is Mrs. Tris asleep? This time is a bit delicate. Do you need some secret medicine from the Nord Palace?"

Andre's focus at this time was rather strange. He asked in a low voice. Murphy shrugged and complained:

"It's just a taste, you know? Compared to Tris before, now I feel like an abandoned stuffed bear. After she gained the creation energy to suppress her inner demons, I suddenly fell out of favor.

Alas, women are such enigmatic creatures.

But thank you for your kindness, my dirty poet brother, I'm still young and have no use for that thing just yet. "

He conveniently put the Book of Curses into Andre's hands. The Earl of White Mountain was obviously very interested in this legendary spiritual relic. He picked it up and walked aside to read it, while Murphy came to Barblo and In front of Claire, he squatted down and looked directly at the two vampires who were sitting there doubting life, and then asked using onomatopoeia skills:
"What I'm more curious about is, in Archduke Charlemagne's memory, is there any record of the location of the observation laboratory he established in the star realm?"

Pablo and Claire looked at each other. After making eye contact, the current Blood Terror Archduke nodded and answered with the same onomatopoeic skills:

"Yes, but after the star realm was shattered, the connection between that place and the material world became obscure. It had to go through a fixed calculation formula to arrive at an appropriate time and place to open a door to enter there.

We can be sure that Archduke Charlemagne made some progress in his research in that laboratory. Two hundred years ago, he took the risk and tried to open it in order to retrieve the knowledge he left there to fight against the increasingly powerful old religion at that time.

But something went wrong.

The power of subspace poured out as he opened the door, directly destroying a third of the ice bay. It was a despicable trap. We also saw that Archduke Charlemagne told this ancient secret to him before he was executed by the Lord himself. Brother, but the Lord believed that it was the warp spreading forbidden knowledge through his mouth.

We gotta find it, Murphy!
There lies valuable knowledge for combating the Warp. "

"There are also dangers there. I don't want to cause another 'blood vulture apocalypse' at this time. If you want to explore there, you must be prepared in advance, but we can talk about this later."

Murphy shook his head, looked into Pablo's eyes and said:

"What now? After witnessing the ancient past with your own eyes, what is your answer to the previous invitation?"

"I" Pablo hesitated a little. He held Claire's hand tightly and said after a few seconds:

"I have to go back to the former territory of the Blood Terror clan. Archduke Charlemagne left something there for his true successors, Claire and I, who have just obtained the status of civilized candidates.

He used some secret methods to hide this matter from Lord Paying and the other two Grand Dukes. Claire and I must find those things to officially become the leaders of the Blood Terror clan.

That is the core strength and inheritance of the Blood Terror clan, and it is the source of power of the Scarlet Reaver. With it, Claire can become a true 'power thief', and I can also find a way to truly tame the good luck of the dark night.

I'll give you an answer when I get back, Murphy.

But don't worry!
Even though I am an untrustworthy pirate, I have fully understood the grudges between the subspace and the Blood Terror clan, and I have realized how stupid it was to escape when facing the World-Burning Demonic Soldiers.

There is no compromise at all in the face of such an enemy!

We must participate in this war and find a path to redemption for the original sin that all vampires bear. Otherwise, the Midnight Familia will not even have a future, let alone a future, and this includes the fate of Claire and me.

This is an unbreakable link between individuals and groups. If no changes are made, all vampires will be involved in the tragedy related to the Midnight Mother in the near future.

So in the face of a common enemy, you can fully trust us. "

"Okay, your words are enough."

Murphy returned the Greed Piece to the pirate captain and asked:

"How long will it take for you to go to the territory of the Blood Terror Clan?"

"It won't take more than half a month!"

Claire said with certainty:
"Let's go and get back quickly. We won't disturb anyone by taking the things and leaving."

"But have you ever thought that this actually contains dangers?"

Andre next to him suddenly said:

"If Dusk is a servant of subspace, then they must also know the truth two hundred years ago. If you are looking for the legendary observation laboratory, then maybe Dusk is also chasing the same thing.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You don’t really think that onomatopoeia can perfectly conceal your conversation in front of the Thorn Clan, do you?

This thing is not a secret skill in nature. I heard everything you just talked about. Don't worry, I won't write this secret in my notebook.

This secret is too hot to touch.

But I still say the same thing, you’d better not go alone on this trip back to your hometown, and take more people with you. "

"Your former territory was among the snow-capped mountains of Ice Bay."

Murphy stood up and said:
"It just so happens that our relationship with the Temple of Vamu has been quite good recently. Please ask the servants of the Berserker. If the Blood Terror clan plans to return to the Ice Bay, then it will definitely not work without their permission.

By the way, I'm sending a letter to the Vam Temple for Lord Paying. If we don't call the Vam servants for such an exciting thing as killing the evil god, those violent warriors will definitely bear a grudge against us.

Go and come back quickly, you two.

I have a feeling Transia won't be quiet for long. "
-
"boom"

The pen he was writing suddenly vibrated, causing the sharp pen tip to pierce the letter paper, causing the ink to spread out on the paper and quickly form an ink dot.

A nice piece of letter paper was ruined just like that.

General Baldwin frowned at the mistake in front of him, then grabbed the piece of paper and crumpled it into a ball with an irritated gesture, threw it into the trash can next to him, and then took out a new piece of paper and wrote on it again.

He wanted to write a private letter to Colonel Duke's family, telling them that Colonel Duke had died heroically on the battlefield.

This is not a simple matter.

As a general, he felt sad for the death of his adjutant. As a friend, he couldn't sleep at night because of the death of his good brother who had followed him loyally for more than ten years.

The battle report of Baphomet Canyon had been sent to him a long time ago. He knew the whole process and knew that Colonel Duke's sacrifice was a more heroic sacrifice in that case.

He can escape.

But he did not do that. The determined soldier fulfilled the promise he made to General Baldwin when he left the Crimean fortress. He lived and died with his position until the last moment.

This made General Winter Wolf both moved and uncomfortable.

The worst thing was not only that Colonel Duke died for his country, but also that the vanguard over the Shadow Valley was almost wiped out, which was a heavy blow to Baldwin's heart.

How many years has it been since the Winter Wolves suffered such a terrible loss?
The unexpected outbreak of wolf plague before that, as well as the silence of the North Wind God to the call of believers, all seemed to outline a picture that frightened all Nords.

If before, those crazy words that preached that an era of chaos was coming were just unfounded worries that did not need to be ignored, then now, at least for General Baldwin, he seemed to have seen it.
Do not!
He has already stepped into that chaotic future with one foot.

This black disaster is just the end of one era and the beginning of another.

Even if the Jackals were defeated in front of the Maginot Line, they would not be able to bring the familiar peaceful era back to them. That was the most feared prophecy for those who feared change, and this prophecy was becoming a reality bit by bit.

As for him, the powerful General Winter Wolf, the border commander of Nordtov, is already a powerful official in the mortal world. Where will his fate be in the storm of this era?
General Baldwin didn't really want to think about it.

But some things cannot be solved by running away, so after writing Colonel Duke's obituary with a heavy heart, the general took out a new piece of letter paper in front of him.

He was going to write a suicide note to his three daughters.

Although I will work hard to survive in all wars and return to my family, being prepared can always give people a little more courage when unexpected disasters strike.

But before he started writing, there was a knock on the office door, and then his adjutant walked in and said to the general:
"The vanguard of the Great Wilderness Legion has arrived. General, the Iron Foot Army of the Frost Dwarves has also arrived near the city of Bonne. In addition, the Transians have warned us that starting tonight, no non-military troops will be allowed in the Filthy Swamp. People moving through.”

"Ok?"

Baldwin raised his head and said:

"What does it mean?"

"It's hard for me to explain to you, General."

The adjutant said with some embarrassment:

"But those crazy Transians say the Filthy Swamp is alive and we shouldn't provoke it if we don't want to die.

"?"
