My Players Are So Fierce

Shani stared at him, as if trying to see through Murphy’s disguise through his eyes, she said:

“I now feel like you just wear a vampire’s skin, your inner self is a hundred times more complex than your exterior. I admit I underestimated you before.”

“Ah? Just because I assisted the Wise Wolf in pulling the Wolf People back from the dangerous faith to the creator’s true faith, merely because of this, you think I’m a bad guy with a hidden identity?”

Murphy shrugged and said:

“Your attitude shift is a bit too drastic. I mean, I’m just an ordinary vampire with a bit of good luck.”

“No, you’re not!”

Shani took a step back, seriously saying:

“I think I’m beginning to understand why Triss is willing to follow you. Such a proud Crimson Witch has no initiative in front of you, what’s even scarier is she doesn’t feel regret or loss, she is willing to do so.

It’s not just Triss.

There’s also Lord Paryen’s unique attitude towards you.

I’ve never seen the proud lord trust a vampire so much. You have a certain magic, Murphy.

I find it hard to accurately describe my feelings, but I think you are the one who stands center stage, and we… even the entire world seems to be your backdrop. Now, as a mere lord, you can stir up storms. I can’t even imagine what you’ll do once you grow.

“Such praise, such praise, makes me a little embarrassed.”

Murphy waved his hand and said:

“But I don’t want to discuss this issue with you, Lady Shani, let’s talk about business, you’re about to set out to continue hunting the avatar of the ‘Origin,’ right?”

“Yes, I can’t stay here too long, I’m about to head to the other side of the Great Wilderness, near Port of Joseph in the Far East, where there’s a suspected hotspot of the Origin.”

Shani brushed her braid and said:

“Thanks to your bridging, I’ve been able to travel via the Star Realm under the protection of the Wanderer, avoiding the ordeal of long journeys. I should thank you for this.

But you also need to be a bit careful.

As I hunt down each avatar of the Origin, that guy will surely retaliate, and judging from her previous fervor towards Triss, I think the next attack will still focus on your ‘Old Cutie.’

In the past, I would remind you.

But having just witnessed your magic, Murphy, I’ll only wish you success now.

Regarding Black Winter Wolf Aelius, I will fulfill Su’s summoning on my way, but if there’s indeed a plot against Su, I hope you’ll lend a hand if needed.”

“Ah?”

Murphy said in surprise:

“But I’m just an ordinary vampire, how can I interfere with a Divine Spirit’s affairs? You think too highly of me.”

“Even as I value you so much, I still feel I underestimated you.”

Shani rolled her eyes, and as she turned to leave, she tossed something that landed in Murphy’s hands.

The Vampire Lord picked it up to look, and it was a bottle of liquid shimmering with unusual luster, Murphy was very familiar with it, Origin Blood! The Envious Origin Blood belonging to the Thorn Clan.

Such a bottle, after being diluted, is sufficient for many vampires to use.

“Give it to Andre, that kid’s performance really impressed me.”

Shani’s silhouette disappeared into the night, but her dignified voice still echoed beside Murphy’s ear, she said:

“I still don’t believe freedom is necessary for vampires, but if Andre and you both believe such action can bring a new future for vampires, then prove it to me with your own hands. But if the White Mountain Faction ultimately succumbs to this uncontrolled freedom…

Then don’t blame me for hiding and laughing at you two youngsters.”

“Thank you, Lady Shani, you’re truly a kind, benevolent vampire!”

Murphy shouted, causing the shadowy, stylishly advancing Shani to almost miss a step and fall. What’s a “kind” and “benevolent” vampire?

Are you sure you’re not mocking me?

Damn Murphy!

“Megashark, report status!”

Just as the matters regarding the Broken Tooth Clan were slightly settling down, in another place deep within the Dark Mountain Range, near the Grey Desert and the Eternal Abyss, towards the eastern side of the central region, a remote location, the communication between Calculating Pearls quietly began.

At this moment, Megashark, disguised in ghillie suit, was lying on a grassy hill with his Wam Brothers, holding various Half-body Man’s binoculars monitoring the distant oasis hidden among rugged rocks, his face painted in various colors, Megashark professionally placed the Adventure Assistant near his mouth, lowered his voice and replied:

“There’s nothing noteworthy, those heretics don’t seem to plan on coming out today, we’ve been guarding for three hours but haven’t seen a single werewolf. Are you sure that man in black robes indeed came down from here?”

“Of course we’re sure, it’s the lead from that tantalizing Lord Yvette, she tracked the man in black robes all the way here without losing track. That ‘Welfare Mother’ is the most skilled tracker amongst vampires.

Oh, by the way, I got her reward panties last night!”
