My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2569 -857: When the Mission Calls Again (Part 2)

Murphy raised the book in his hand and explained:

“Verdia once expressed goodwill to Triss through this book, so now the question is, should we return this book to the Goat Men to let them figure out a way to release Verdia?

That guy, who was a thorough ambition-driven bastard last era, will he suddenly have a conscience in this era and turn into a good person we can rely on?”

“Based on our past experiences, such a transformation is of course possible, provided we’re living in a dream.”

Babro sneered and said:

“Perhaps it’s Archduke Charlemagne’s ancient memories affecting me, but I truly feel that guy is a menace at this moment! We should get rid of him, burn the book! Completely destroy this hidden danger.”

“However, I think negotiations aren’t entirely out of the question.”

Claire rubbed her aching brow and said weakly:

“Old grudges settled when the Eden District was destroyed; now the true enemy is the Subspace. Although Verdia has become an Old God, as long as he doesn’t want to submit to Subspace and become a mindless fallen monster, in such significant matters, he can only stand with us.

However, risks, of course, exist.

The story of the poor Lord Hether and the Lord of Darkness shows that these Old Gods, although not as formidable as New Gods, are all strange-powered beings that cannot be handled with typical theories.

Using our pirate ways, we must find a way to make that bastard wear a leash that pains him when disobedient before releasing him, preferably with a detonator inside him attached to a dynamite stick in our hands.”

“Is Lady Triss asleep? It’s a bit peculiar timing; do we need some secret medicine from the Nord Palace?”

Andre was concerned with an odd matter at this time, and he whispered. Murphy shrugged and retorted:

“Just scratching the surface, you know? Compared to the past Triss, I now feel like an abandoned teddy bear ever since she acquired the creative energy to suppress inner demons, I suddenly fell out of favor.

Sigh, women, truly mysterious beings.

Anyway, thanks for your kindly intention, my sly poet brother; I’m still young and don’t need that for now.”

He casually handed the Book of Ten Thousand Curses to Andre, clearly intriguing Count Bai of White Mountain, who took it and stepped aside to browse, while Murphy approached Babro and Claire. He squatted to face the two identity-questioning vampires directly, then asked using mimicry technique:

“I’m more curious about whether Archduke Charlemagne’s memories contain any record of the location of the observation lab he established in the Star Realm?”

Babro and Claire exchanged glances, and after an eye exchanged, the current Duke of Blood Fear nodded and similarly replied using mimicry technique:

“Yes, but after the Star Realm shattered, the connection to the physical world became obscure, requiring distinct calculation formulas to determine an appropriate time and place to open a door to enter it.

We are sure, Archduke Charlemagne had made some research progress in that lab; two hundred years ago, he risked attempting to open it to retrieve the knowledge he left there to combat the increasingly powerful Old Church of the time.

However, something went wrong.

The power of Subspace rushed out with the open door, directly destroying a third of Ice Bay, a vile trap… we saw Archduke Charlemagne revealed this secret to his ancient brother before being executed by Lord Paryen, but he considered it Subspace spreading forbidden knowledge through his mouth.

We must find it, Murphy!

There lies precious knowledge to combat Subspace.”

“There also exists danger; I don’t wish to create a ‘Blood Vulture Doomsday’ at this time. If exploring there, we must be fully prepared, but this matter can be discussed later.”

Murphy shook his head and looked at Babro’s eyes, then asked:

“So now? After witnessing that ancient past, your answer to the previous invitation is?”

“I…”

Babro hesitated slightly, he held Claire’s hand, and after a few seconds said:

“I must return to the former territory of Blood Fear Clan, Archduke Charlemagne left some things there for his true successors, which now include me and Claire, who just obtained the candidate identity of civilization.

He used some Secret Technique to conceal this matter from Lord Paryen and the other two Dukes, Claire and I must find those things to officially become the leaders of Blood Fear Clan.

That represents the core power and legacy of Blood Fear Clan, the source of the power of the Crimson Predator, with it, Claire can become the true ‘Power Thief’, and I can also find the real way to tame the dark night fortune.

I will give you an answer after I return, Murphy.

But don’t worry!

Even though I am an unreliable pirate, I have fully understood the grudges between Subspace and Blood Fear Clan, I realized how foolish it was to evade when facing the World Burning Demon Warrior.

Facing enemies like those, there is no compromise!

We must partake in this war, find a path of redemption for the original sin burdened by all vampires, otherwise, the Midnight loved ones won’t have just tomorrow, including the fate of Claire and me.”
