Chapter 331: 116. Every pure love knight is a natural minotaur slayer【56/60】_2

Given Cui Si’s reputation, it is unlikely that the prodigal lord would blab about these matters.

However, what Palano is interested in isn’t acquiring the Calculating Pearl, but the item itself.

He had clearly seen something similar before and held it in his hand, his expression changing strangely as he examined it. Surprising Murphy, he opened a connection at the back of the pearl and pointed at a mark, saying,

"Indeed, it’s the handiwork of that bastard Sulk Flywheel! I knew it, there’s no way so many Calculating Pearls could just appear out of nowhere in Transylvania, the Pseudo-body Man of Xialdu banned their export from the Ligurian Peninsula long ago.

Those naive dwarfs always refuse to see their inventions being used for war, but regretfully, every invention they make can change the outcome of a war."

"You know him?"

Murphy immediately became interested.

From the item identification, he knew these Calculating Pearls came from this "Sulk Flywheel". As Palano mentioned him, he immediately asked,

"What’s this guy’s story? Can he acquire the top-secret machinery of the half-body man? To be frank, my lord is seriously lacking in suitable weapons, if we could contact him..."

"Sulk is a bastard half-body man. Some escorts of the Blood Covenant Knight Order occasionally deal with him. He’s the only reliable machinery supplier in the Dark Mountain Range, but he’s a dishonest weapons dealer.

He wouldn’t dare harm the Blood Covenant Knight Order, but he would definitely rip off anyone else who took the initiative to make contact with him.

You’ll need to be careful when dealing with him."

Palano was very forthright, he pulled out a map and marked the location of Hunger Mountain, explaining to Murphy:

"Sulk entered the Dark Mountain Range over forty years ago. God knows how, but he managed to subdue a large gang of cannibal bandits in Hunger Mountain and became their leader.

He supposedly runs a booming weapons business, and even secretly trades with some enlightened Wolf People tribes. He also has a deep relationship with the redemption dwarfs of Sin Castle, and he took part in the military reform that began in the Golden Flower Kingdom thirty years ago.

He doesn’t refuse business offers, but you’ll need to prepare a generous payment. Sulk Flywheel is a peculiar character, he’s a man of ideals, which doesn’t contradict the fact that he’s a bad apple. He’s a combination of contradictions.

In any case, once your men are ready, my escorts can guide you there."

"Thank you for the information."

Murphy noted down the location of Hunger Mountain and marked it on the map system.

The place isn’t far from the Polluted Swamp, but it’s still in the inner section of the outer Dark Mountain Range. An area that’s clearly out of reach for players at their current level.

However, considering their growth rate, they might be ready to make a move after completing the Black Iron Trial with a team of forty men. Then they might be able to cross the Polluted Swamp and negotiate with the weapon dealer.

After the official business was done, the conversation between Murphy and Lord Palano became more relaxed and pleasant.

While this lord seemed unreliable and was a super-omega to nearly a hundred goddesses, he left the best impression on Murphy among all the vampires he’d met.

Except for Cui Si, of course.

In Murphy’s heart, Cui Si would never be compared with other vampires.

This Lord Palano likely held a high rank in the Blood Covenant Knight Order but showed none of the bad habits of someone in power. Rather than powerful leader, Murphy thought of him more as a classic protagonist you’d find in a romantic knight novel.

Aside from his narcissism and excessive actions, this vampire big shot didn’t have any significant flaws.

At least in Murphy’s eyes.

So, he couldn’t resist asking,

"Are there others like you in the Blood Covenant Knight Order? Although I’m just a young vampire who’s been practicing for over a year, I’ve heard about your order. Don’t laugh. After Cui Si turned me, I even considered leaving the blood vultures to find you and join you."

"Hahaha, every idealistic vampire who’s unwilling to fall thinks the same way, but most of them can’t even pass the first ring trial for new Blood Covenant Knights."

Palano chuckled, and said,

"I’m an unusual character, Murphy, don’t use me as a standard for imagining the whole of the Blood Covenant Knights Order. After all, I was a misfit even when I was human..."

At this point, Palano shrugged and asked,

"Are you familiar with the ruling family of the Ishan Kingdom, one of the Golden Flower Kingdom’s predecessors?"

"Yes."

Murphy nodded, recalling his meager historical knowledge, saying,

"In December 1080, the army of West Lan invaded Fog City under the command of the current King Louis. The Essex-Fland family ruled over it for a long period of time until a treacherous assassination destroyed the Ishan kingdom.

Every King of Gleney originated from one of the two families bound by marriage.

The current queen of the Golden Flower Kingdom, Elizabeth Marianne, was the daughter of the last king of the Ishan Kingdom before marrying King Louis. She’s the last legitimate heir of the Essex-Fland family."
