Chapter 1690: 565. The First Wave – Additional Update for Brother “Huo Zheng Ting Hao” [7/30]_2
This means Shani definitely knows how to get there.
Moreover, since Oksana returned to Eden before being killed, the vampire history legend about Salockdale and Charlemagne joining forces to ambush and kill Oksana might be quite exaggerated.
The truth hidden in history might actually be that Oksana remembered something, then made a reckless exploration leading to her being infected by the subspace, forcing her husband and friend to take lethal action.
Didn’t you say so too?
In the Dreams of Antiquity you saw, Salockdale and Oksana had a very close relationship, not like the rumored estrangement.”
“That was eight hundred years ago, Triss, we can’t find evidence to verify all this.”
Murphy did not answer his thoughts, but seconds later, he said:
“But there were witnesses to the events back then, Old Edward and Lord Paryen are the only two ancient ones left, who witnessed the vampire’s rise and division in this Era.
Indeed, Old Edward and Lord Paryen might have forgotten the memories of the Golden Age, but within this millennium, they couldn’t have possibly become forgetful, right?
So if we can have an opportunity for them to reveal those truths hidden in vampire history, perhaps we can confirm the whole story.
Shani said our original sin is pushing us to an unbreakable influence with the subspace, I think this might have some truth, perhaps the destruction of Eden District is not the end, perhaps it is merely the beginning of a vampire original sin story.”
“What do you plan to do next?”
Triss agreed with Murphy’s idea and she asked:
“Now with the Blood Fear Clan Leader and Greed Fragment here, should we let Babro undergo a candidate binding as well? To see if Charlemagne’s Dreams of Antiquity would give us more details?”
“This… let’s wait a bit.”
Murphy hesitated, he said:
“We know very little about Babro, the rough yet shrewd pirate persona he displays is what he wants us to see, I don’t think someone who can turn his own superior into a willing follower by his side, would be a simple guy.
We can trust Shani because we have already fought together against the twilight and acted together and because Lord Paryen also believes her, but our relationship with Babro is merely as strangers just met.
To use small players’ words, the reputation has just started, you can’t just give him a good piece of equipment, it doesn’t quite make sense.”
“Hmph, I think you are alluding to something.”
Triss snorted but didn’t bring up the matter anymore, she raised her head under the night sky, gazing at the desolate red soil canyon in the distance, after a moment, she said:
“There’s less than a month left until the Black Disaster starts, do you think the players are ready?”
“I make myself not think about this issue.”
Murphy answered:
“Whether or not they are prepared, everything is already set in motion, I decided to end the closed testing in twenty-five days, giving the development team three days to complete the ‘new version implementation’, by then the Black Disaster expansion will debut along with everything else.
We spent over five months to reunite Transylvania, I know none of this is perfect, all details still have problems and loopholes, but we have no more time.
Unable to withstand the Black Disaster, everything we have and all we anticipate will vanish.
I don’t know if I’m a competent Dog Planner, but I and my warriors now have to face the test of destiny.”
“Don’t say that, my little Murphy.”
Triss approached Murphy, folding her wings and then spreading her arms to lie on Murphy’s back, just like on the night when she was crowned as the Blood Vulture Duke, when Murphy carried her back to the office.
She whispered:
“You are the most capable Dog Planner I’ve ever seen… of course, you are also the only Dog Planner I’ve ever seen, but that’s not the point.
What I mean is, since we have done our best, then it’s time to leave everything to fate.
I once told you, I wouldn’t let you leave alone.
I mean it.
No matter how Transylvania ends, I will get through it with you.
I’ve lived long enough, once indulged in being villainous, yet fate reborn me in a way I’ve never imagined, if this is the end of my life’s journey, I don’t think it’s tragic.”
“Really? I’m deeply touched.”
Murphy pursed his lips, he whispered:
“But I’ve secretly instructed Professor Malcolm to buy us two tickets to the New Continent at Charldo Harbor, I won’t let you perish with me here. If things go south, I’ll take you out of here, we start anew on the New Continent.”
He flapped his wings hovering in the air, with the round moon as a backdrop, in the silvery stream casting onto the clouds like light fabric, he looked up, kissed Triss behind him.
He said:
“We will win!”
“Hmm, I believe we will always continue until the end.”

“Ahead is the Ratman’s major lair here! Those bastards are hiding inside, there are many of them, but we’ve collapsed all tunnels leading out from here.
We’ve blocked them inside, wipe out these rats, and this race’s main storyline task ends.”
