My Players Are So Fierce

A day later, a slave transport ship arrived at the port of the Andma Hills along the Kaderman River amid heavy snowfall as per schedule.

This area had already been incorporated into the rapidly expanding Torrent Castle’s town limits, and because this river is one of the most important transportation waterways in Transylvania when it’s not frozen, the docks were very busy.

Seeing a ship docking, the clerks from the Torrent Castle commercial dock’s port authority immediately sprang into action.

After confirming that the ship was transporting “Kafuhoka Brand Self-Propelled Autonomous Agricultural Tools,” the clerks followed procedures to clear customs, allowing passengers to disembark, as local guides from Torrent Castle were already accustomed to this scene.

They wore thick and durable military coats, holding various signs to guide down the shivering, confused serfs, classifying them according to their skills, and then sending them to the “quarantine camp” on the port’s outskirts.

There, workers would perform a full-body cleaning and distribute clothing and food.

These serfs needed to stay in the camp for fifteen days, confirming they were disease-free and learning the rules of Torrent Castle and Transylvania, after which they would be allocated to the regions they needed to go to.

A third of them would stay permanently in Torrent Castle to fill this city managed by the Torrent Knights.

The other two-thirds would be distributed to the thirteen administrative villages established by the second sector of the administration.

Skilled serfs would be transferred to the Handicraftsman Association’s archive and then placed in various trades as apprentices.

It is worth mentioning that young men and women had additional choices.

Men could choose to become engineering soldiers supporting the construction of the Maginot Line, and if they performed well, they could join the Cadman People’s Army and earn a salary.

Women could choose to join the medical system represented by field hospitals, which was overseen by the Pantless Demon and currently lacked everything, especially qualified nursing staff.

In short, everything was arranged clearly…

seemingly offering many choices, in reality, aside from integrating into the Transylvania system, these serfs had no other path but to go back to Kavkhoka to serve their masters as “consumables.”

And usually, at this time, the shipowners would happily go to the port authority to settle the abundant rewards and collect a few discount vouchers for Treasure Bay, taking their sailors to the casino for a few days.

But today was different.

The captain of this ship, shivering, brought a letter and two scarlet coffins into the port authority, finding the director—an outstandingly promoted female clerk from the Blood Servant family, who strongly supported the current Transylvania governance system and was unusually familiar with vampire culture.

Upon seeing the coffins marked with the Thorn Clan emblem and the letter bearing Duchess Shani’s seal, she immediately understood that these items were not for their handling.

Thus, she decisively used the newly constructed, still in “trial operation” Calculating Pearl government office system to contact her superior.

Ten minutes later, Miss Phemys, who was on vacation, personally opened a door and arrived here, taking the coffins and letter back to the Crimson Castle, where Triss was in the laboratory researching the upgraded formula of the decisive wine.

Another ten minutes later, Murphy in the Shadow Valley received the news and rushed back at the fastest speed.

“I think you didn’t explain clearly in the communication.

You said Shani brought us what?

A Golden Spiritual Overlord and her little follower?

But why are they packed in coffins?”

Murphy, returning to the Blood Vulture Corridor, was bewildered.

He saw the two coffins in a vacant laboratory below the corridor, with Phemys deciphering the vampire seals on the coffins, while Triss handed Murphy the letter, still fragrant as she said with a smirk:

“Shani just acted as a ‘middleman,’ this is actually a ‘gift’ from Lord Paryen for you.

In the coffins are the Master of the Circle Tower’s School of Physiokinesthetics ‘Dragon Flame’ Lena and her new apprentice, whom you entrusted Shani to find.”

Also, these two unlucky fellows happened to encounter Lord Paryen visiting Bernel City on her way to see the Lupa.

The Lord reminded you in the letter to use the simplest and most direct way to invite Lena to join us, and also reminded you that Lena’s apprentice has quite an unusual status.

It’s up to you to decide how to deal with that girl from the New World.”

“What?

From where?

New World?”

Murphy was utterly confused.

Finding Lena made sense since a Spiritual Overlord couldn’t just disappear, but what’s with this apprentice from the New World?

Did Master Lena plan to flee to the New World after being ‘forced to resign’ from the Circle Tower?

“About ten more minutes!”

Maybe feeling Murphy and Triss’ silent urging, Miss Phemys, clutching the Night Howling Staff, said without turning around, busy:

“This seal is a bit complex.

Duchess Shani has infused her spiritual power as part of the seal.

I can’t understand why her spiritual power surged to this extent, but for now, I can only disperse and transfer this power in the most secure way.

Hmm, the Thorn Clan’s sealing technique is quite novel, I’ve never seen this kind of spiritual energy usage before.”

“What kind of look is that, Magical Girl?”

Triss teased:

“That is clearly the seal of the Clan of Secret Blood, okay!

The Thorn Clan isn’t skilled at this, these two coffins must be ancient artifacts Shani took from the clan’s collection, crafted by the Clan of Secret Blood.
