2025 -676: Assassination?

Tch, Are You Dumb?

I Can Cheat!

[Bonus Update 6/10]

Murphy observed the “Tank Hand” training in Shadow Valley for a while, and even personally climbed onto the walking machine to experience the fun of driving a Spider Tank.

As it turned out, this thing wasn’t easy to operate.

Especially when moving quickly, just the vibration from the tank itself was enough to make someone sick, and staying in that crew cabin was really uncomfortable.

But aside from that, the tank was perfect!

Its maneuverability was much better than a tracked tank, and with the help of the Half-body Man’s black technology “gyroscope,” it could even climb steep slopes.

But its energy consumption was also amazing.

Every hour of basic activity required adding special fuel to the fuel tank, most importantly, a portion of Burning Gold Powder was also effective in the fuel.

This made Murphy marvel at how the continent’s technological development solely relied on “Burning Gold.”

This tech tree truly had gone astray, and if Burning Gold ever disappeared, the average technology level of the entire continent would instantly fall back to the medieval era.

After leaving the trio of “Tiger, Leopard, and Mouse” here to continue learning the steam walking machine operation and sending all players with “vehicle driving” skills the hidden task “Transylvania Needs Tank Hands,” Murphy left.

But before he returned to Blackflame Mountain Pass, he was stopped by the Spider Girl stationed there.

In her humanoid form, Veylanther dressed in a moon-white “Erotic Ritual Robe,” emerged from the flowing shadows, displaying a very serious demeanor as she spoke to Murphy:

“Thanks to Lady Spider’s sensitivity to conspiracies, I’ve realized a ripple in your destiny.

I just did a divination for you, and a terrifying conspiracy targeting you personally has already begun to unfold.

In the next few days, I will stay by your side, my master, to avoid any harm from the outside world.

You’d better not refuse this request.”

“I have always been in danger, my private seer.”

Murphy wasn’t too surprised by this and said:

“I have many enemies, and each of them has enough reason to want me dead, and the battlefield is inherently not a safe place, but I cannot leave my warriors because of this.”

“I understand, so I made this for you.”

Veylanther took a very exquisite black-golden little jar from her waist pocket and handed it to Murphy.

She explained:

“This is a secret technique taught by Lady Spider, which can help you escape the doom of death.

We call it the ‘Bottle of Rebirth.’ You must carry it at all times, so that if your life is cut off, you can still be protected by Lady Spider’s power.”

“This thing must be very precious, right?”

Murphy did not refuse this goodwill.

He took the Bottle of Rebirth, examined it in his hand.

The “Weaver of Destiny’s Embrace” talent he had received from Veylanther previously also needed the Bottle of Rebirth to be effective.

And facing his question, the much more dignified Veylanther folded her hands over her abdomen, with the other four arms behind her adopting a prayer gesture as well.

She spoke in a very clergy-style obscure tone:

“No matter how precious a thing is, it doesn’t compare to your future.

But I only had enough materials to make this one, so you’d better use it at the most suitable moment.

Still, as I said, until the threads of your destiny return to calm, I will stay by your side.”

“Uh, you spoke so sincerely, I almost believed you.”

Murphy looked at Veylanther askance, saying:

“But I’m sure this is your rhetoric.

There must be other reasons forcing you to stay by my side?

Tell me, why?

Is it because my warriors visit you too frequently that you feel annoyed?”

“No!

Of course not, why would you have such a strange thought?”

Veylanther said in a peculiar tone:

“I absolutely adore your Foreign Warriors!

They circle around me daily, become elated from a small task I give them, and they can complete anything I instruct them both quickly and well, even making delicious exotic pastries for me.

I enjoy those treats called egg tarts, and more so, their gaze upon me, that kind of passionate, as if they wish to devour me…

It reminds me of the good times in Mejewa City.

In reality, no woman doesn’t wish to be surrounded by a group of such lovely, obedient adventurers.

With just a bit of money and items, I can have them fulfill all my dreams.

They aren’t the problem!

They are my favorite little darlings.

The real problem is the urging of Lady Spider…

Well, I know you’ve always been curious why Lady Spider, a Neutral slightly evil Divine Spirit, is so interested in killing The Master of Hunting.

I can solve this mystery for you.”

The Weaver of Destiny glanced at Murphy’s expression and whispered:

“It is for Moss Valley!

My master, it was once the Sacred land of Avalon…

but there it was also Lady Spider’s Sacred land, and the Shadow Elf Family within the Eternal Abyss has long desired to reclaim it, though we’ve attempted many times and failed.

Now is the best opportunity.

To destroy The Master of Hunting, you must delve into Moss Valley and find its Primitive Shrine, which means after that action, Moss Valley will become a Neutral Zone again, and that will be the chance for the Shadow Elf Family.”
