Grey Knight Chronicle – Additional Update [10/15]

(Extra updates for brother “Chen Wenjun 2” [5/5])

The mutual probing with the powerful departments from Another World had not taken up much of Murphy’s time and energy.

It wasn’t even among the top five concerns he was currently worried about.

It wasn’t that Murphy truly didn’t care, but rather that he was not yet able to exert more influence over Another World, and could only try to maintain his own sense of mystery to make the opponent hesitate.

However, considering that the “disconnect” authority had always been in Murphy’s hands, this sort of “deterrence” was not entirely a bluff.

As long as the right to enter Another World was in his hands, the initiative for this “Close Encounter of the Third Kind” would not shift to the other party, and Murphy felt he had no cause for concern as he sat fishing on his own.

Even if he considered the worst-case scenario, it was nothing more than starting over with a different country and a new group of minor players.

But Murphy’s vampire intuition told him that the other side would not miss this “opportunity.” With all players currently coming from the same country, this could also be regarded as a valuable “head start.”

Therefore, under this premise, Murphy actually had quite a few cards to play.

He didn’t plan to lift this “fig leaf” too early, as maintaining the mystery would ensure the other party acted with caution, and so his plans for Transylvania would be least affected.

The two parties could cooperate!

Murphy was confident about this.

It was just that he currently lacked the chips necessary for cooperation; he had nothing that the other party wanted.

However, if he were able to find on this continent evidence that the other side desired, even if just for a few transactions, Murphy believed this would become his “trump card” to turn the tide in a critical moment.

Not to mention, the idea of a one-time “lease” of a powerful army from Another World would probably make other summoners and lords laugh in their sleep.

That would be the rightfully named “Strongest Land Army from Another World”…

Murphy estimated that if he could have tens of thousands of slots in reserve, then under the right circumstances, he might be able to launch a rapid war to reclaim the Posya Confederation.

Of course, the premise was that he had to prepare enough weapons and equipment on this side—it wouldn’t do to let his allies go into battle with just swords and spears, right?

And this type of transaction was just the most common idea among all the possible ways of cooperation that Murphy could think of.

But now was not the time to consider these far-reaching plans because the Vampire Lord still had another pressing issue that urgently needed clarification looming over him.

It was dawn, and in a wilderness not far from the Capet family caravan, Murphy met President Natalie with a troubled expression, God Father Old Eugene, and Mother Mary Ann.

In an open space beside the three of them, the remains of the four Chaos Swordsmen had been partially purified by Natural Psychic Power, but they still exuded an extremely uncomfortable aura with a secondary psychic shock.

As Murphy had assessed before, they were like several moving “Subspace pollution sources.”

“So, have you come to a conclusion?”

Leaning on his sword cane, Murphy asked in a low voice:

“Did you confirm their identities?”

“They are indeed our Grey Knights; the holy vows etched on their bodies that have not yet been corrupted, the remnants of their Spiritual Energy, and the unique style of their armor all prove this,” replied Old Eugene in a somber tone, filled with intense aversion and disgust.

“The life essence within them is severely tainted, and we’re unable to discern the faction they served before they knelt to Subspace.

However, based on the results of the autopsy, they could not have been transformed into Chaos Warriors by Subspace for more than two years.

Some of their internal organs have not completely morphed into Filthy Things, but their brains and hearts have been transformed into organs that disseminate corruption.

This is a terrifying transformation, indicating a complete fall from body to spirit.

But it also means that an organized faction of Grey Knights still exists somewhere on the Continent or in some part of Subspace.

Regrettably, they have strayed from the light of my God and fallen to a level beyond reproach; if this had occurred during the era of the Old Education, it would have been a scandal capable of shaking the Sacred land and the entire Church system.”

“It also proves that Old Feinock’s final admonitions before he died were not unfounded,” said Mother Mary Ann with a hoarse and sorrowful tone.

She continued softly:

“Without our realizing, the Church had already bred a rotten shadow, and even the rebellion itself hid unspeakable secrets.

The Tomb Robber under your command previously described to us her findings at the Sacred land ruins in the Antani District from ten years ago.

If her words hold true, then the downfall of the Grey Knights, who represented my God’s path of impartial arbitration, predates the revolt of the Old Education.

Alas, it’s not that my God abandoned His followers among Humans, but rather we first forsaken the path He prescribed.”

Natalie remained silent.

She was leaning on the Watcher Holy Blade.

The edge of this Elven greatsword flickered with blue-green Purification Fire, and after her conversation with Murphy was over, she was to take responsibility for burning away these four bodies that were still spreading corruption.

But from Natalie’s expression, one could tell that the young leader of Avalon Church was anything but calm.

The events of the night had revealed to her just the tip of the iceberg of the terrifying truth behind the collapse of the Old Education.
