Wow, that’s a great idea!

I’m going to discuss it with Phemys, Maxim, and Adel.”

After saying that, Triss cast a teleportation spell and disappeared in front of a headache-ridden Murphy and a giggling Milian who was covering her mouth.

After Triss left, Milian quietly asked:

“It seems like there was some unpleasantness between you two?

Can I know what happened?

Aren’t you two already as close as can be, like conjoined twins?

Triss even stopped resisting public displays of affection with you.”

“You innocent girl, you’re better off not knowing.”

Murphy glanced at Milian, huffing, and said:

“Or rather, you’ll understand when you have a boyfriend.

Honestly, I don’t even know what I did to offend her.

It was all her initiative.”

“But Triss is going to boost the warriors to beat you up.”

Milian twisted open her water bottle, took a sip, and after moistening her throat, she said to Murphy:

“Are you sure you still have confidence now?”

“Of course.”

Murphy touched his chest and said:

“Not only are they improving, but I am too.

If my warriors think they can beat me just because they got a super strong BUFF, then I’ll definitely give them a big surprise, letting them know that the dignity of a mainline NPC is not to be challenged!

Of course, before that, I will give them a glimmer of hope, then personally snuff it out.

Hahaha, I really am a terrible villain, aren’t I?”

The origins of the Holy Blood Festival had been researched by the lore enthusiasts in the game and translated onto the forums.

In simple terms, the so-called Holy Blood Festival commemorates the day, 1,100 years ago at the dawn of the era, when the ancients of the Blood race established their clans and the bloodline system on the vast continent.

Vampires regard it as the birth of their civilization.

They take the third week after the winter solstice every year as the celebration day, and the entire celebration lasts ten days.

According to the various sources players have found in the game, during the Holy Blood Festival, vampires from all over would temporarily put aside important matters to indulge in fun and pleasure.

And indulging in pleasure too wildly can lead to accidents, so after the Holy Blood Festival each year, each clan ends up with a batch of Blood Descendants.

However, past experiences are obviously hard to apply to current-day Transylvania, as the New Blood Vulture Clan is not a traditional power.

Right after Meng HaHa reminded forum users of the upcoming “Holy Blood Festival,” by evening of the same day, some visible changes appeared on the forum.

First, the entire forum layout was modified to a dark vampire style, embellished with candles and wine, and background music would play automatically upon entering the forum.

It was a traditional vampire ballad called “Crimson Ode,” said to be personally performed by Lord Paryen during the first Holy Blood Festival.

And let me tell you, it’s really quite pleasant to listen to.

It melds the male baritone’s soft tones with very distinctive female soprano choral elements, very much like an elf’s epic poem from fantasy tales, and it carries the choir’s unique sense of sanctity, establishing an atmosphere while also announcing to players that the first festival event in “Real Different World” is just around the corner.

In addition to changes in the forum layout, every user’s avatar now has a time-limited decoration, allowing them to apply a “vampire filter” to their avatars, showing what their characters would look like as vampires.

Due to Alpha Company’s “solid technology,” the effect of this filter is quite stunning.

Students excitedly uploaded their personal photos to the forum, applied the vampire filter, exported the photo to their phones, and treated it as if they’d taken a very cool “vampire art photo.”

Brother Fa’s assistant “Sister Xiaomi” also posted the Holy Blood Festival event official thread punctually at eight o’clock that evening:

[The serene beauty of the midnight voice has echoed; the dawn stained with crimson is calling.

Dear foreigners, the Transia Administrative Office and the Blood Vulture Clan cordially invite you all to participate in the soon-to-begin ‘Holy Blood Festival’ celebration.

The development team has prepared a variety of festive activities for you all, hoping you will enjoy the exotic life beyond combat.]

Saint Blood Festival Pre-event Activity One: Festival Support:

In the years gone by, this land would be adorned with the most extravagant scenery for the arrival of the Saint Blood Festival, which are the ten most lively and happiest days of the year.

However, in this particular season, the recently disaster-stricken Crimson Castle lacks the manpower and resources to propel the atmosphere of Saint Blood Festival into a full carnival.

Worried about this, Governor Milian hopes to enlist the help of the omnipotent foreign warriors.

From the start of the pre-event activities to the four days before the official opening of the Saint Blood Festival, all players can go to the administrative district of Crimson Castle to receive the “Festival Support” repeatable quest.

This task is of a daily type, and can be done once a day, each lasting for twelve stages, involving helping the administrative office find festival supplies and decorate the city as well as prepare for the celebration.

The daily quest will award a “Governor’s Gratitude” gift pack, which includes but is not limited to Gold Coins, supplies, the Spiritual Energy pet ‘Moonlight Butterfly’, and the special costume ‘Saint Blood Reveler’s Attire’.

Tip!

This gift pack has a very small chance of containing the ‘Rare Skin·Milian·First-Year Administration Academy Student’.

Saint Blood Festival Pre-event Activity Two: The Great Challenge Countdown:

Never has Governor Morphy forgotten his promise to the foreign warriors, as he has always emphasized he would grant the warriors a chance to challenge him.

And now, Sir Morphy feels the time has come!

From the start of the pre-event activities to the ten days before the opening of the Saint Blood Festival’s Great Challenge, all players can go to a special NPC to get ‘Strongman Recommendation Letters’, and before the opening of the Saint Blood Festival’s Great Challenge, players holding four recommendation letters can participate in the challenge against Governor Morphy.

This challenge is a time-limited·team battle mode!

The maximum number of participants allowed is 40 people!

The number of allowed challenge attempts is limited to 5!

After a successful challenge, all participants will receive ‘Governor Morphy’s Martial Arts Notebook’ X1.

Tip!

This challenge is a reserved project of the Saint Blood Festival, players who do not obtain the qualification for the challenge need not feel sad or lost, as Sir Morphy will make another appearance in next year’s Saint Blood Festival challenge.

Saint Blood Festival Pre-event Activity Three: Triss’s Retaliation:

For some unknown reasons, the relationship between Lady Triss and Governor Morphy has experienced some minor turbulence.

To punish Morphy for his undignified act, Lady Triss has decided to support the warriors with various beneficial effects and combat potion supplements during the Great Challenge.

From the beginning of the pre-event activities, all players who have obtained a recommendation letter can go to Lady Triss’s Alchemy Cottage and acquire rare combat potions by donating fine wine to Lady Triss.

Before the Great Challenge starts, once the total number of fine wines donated by the warriors breaks through 500 bottles, Lady Triss will appear directly at the challenge site and bestow powerful beneficial spells upon the challengers.

If the challengers can defeat Lord Morphy, they shall obtain ‘Lady Triss’s Triumph’ gift pack.

This gift pack contains wealth, power, and knowledge beyond your imagination.

More Saint Blood Festival events will gradually unlock following the storyline, so everyone, please bring your friends to participate in the preparations and carnival of the Saint Blood Festival.

In addition, the administrative office specifically reserves five exhibition spaces for foreign warriors in this event to showcase the cultural characteristics of foreign lands.

If at the end of the event, the performance of the foreign warriors is unanimously acknowledged by both the residents of Crimson Castle and the historian and folklorist Professor Malcolm, the administration will then provide the guild with lavish administrative and material rewards.]

As soon as this post was published, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, but besides those players discussing the Great Challenge and the rewards, some gossipy folks quickly tasted the “melons” among the post’s contents.

Lumina·Sun Stain: [Sir Morphy and Lady Triss having a spat, my goodness, I thought they were the model couple…

I think this plot is worth digging into, are there any former paparazzi bros who want to join my gossip squad?

Recruiting with a big reward.]

“Lady Shui” with her delicate and dignified manner: [Don’t do anything foolish!

Unless you want to become a member of the Blackhand clan…]

Lumina·Sun Stain: [Aow, got it, act like I never said anything, haha.]

Meow King: [Hahaha, chickened out, chickened out, little Lumi is such a scaredy-cat.

What’s there to be afraid of?

Pursuing NPC gossip is also a way to play the game, look at me, I’m not scared!]

Pomegranate Sister Pulls Down the Weeping Willow: [Nonsense, you are already the Great Chief of the Blackhand clan, what would you be afraid of?]
