Chapter 358: Morality can only restrain oneself, but desire can dominate others_2

"Don’t bring it up to me, I don’t want to hear it, Cardman City and the surrounding areas are your territories. Whatever you want to do with them is your business, I don’t care about these things.

Since I’m to act the part of a puppet, I should look the part. I shouldn’t interfere too much, so as not to threaten your authority and end up being discarded by you just like Salockdale, and being sent into eternal silence.

But, your timing is just right. There’s something I have to give you."

Cui Si turned around and took something from her alchemy table and handed it to Murphy. The object had an irregular outline.

It was a Fragment of Desire.

This surprised Murphy, who looked at her and asked,

"Isn’t this the proof of your archduchy? Why are you giving it to me?"

"It’s for you to keep safe! There’s not much point in its being here with me. But if you can learn to use the real power of the Fragment of Desire, it can be of great help to your future endeavours."

Cui Si said with a stern expression,

"The seven powers of sin granted by the Vampire Civilization Stone Tablet is not meant exclusively for the Duchy. They can also be passed on to others through safekeeping.

These mysterious ’Powers of Sin’ aren’t that useful in battle, and serves more of a support function. Given the current terrible situation of the Blood Vulture Clan, I suspect it won’t be used for a long time.

I’ll teach you how to use the ’Desire Ability’ granted by the stone tablet. I’ve seen Salockdale use it before and it is indeed a very mysterious power."

"Alright, I believe you won’t harm me."

Murphy accepted the Fragment of Desire and inspected it under Spiritual Energy. The object suspended on the tip of his finger, and he once again saw the familiar information tags:

Name: Vampire Civilization Stone Tablet [1/7] · Fragment of Desire

Quality: Miracle Creation

Status:

1. This item has been bound! The current binder is Cui Si·Kawendina·Ga·Lorin·Lusenbura, with the first in line for inheritance being Reveno·Mo Fei·Le Senbula.

2. Special Power Line [Original Sin Ability · Desire] can be unlocked and is waiting to be allocated. The allocation quota is [2/2].

"Are you ready?"

Cui Si asked.

Murphy nodded, and then saw that the Duchess of the Blood Vultures pointed her lovely finger at the rotating desire fragment, and a touch of crimson light was wrapped around her fingertip, which then moved to place the light on Murphy’s forehead.

"Buzz"

Murphy’s vision went black, strange fragmented illusions began to roll in his mind.

He could vaguely see several vampires in strange uniforms discussing something in a strange place. But the next second, the fragment jumped to a catastrophic disaster erupting in a more magnificent place, and there were many strange beings escaping from a gigantic building.

The fragments rolled quickly, so Murphy didn’t have time to view any more before his sight was restored, and a new prompt popped up in his character card:

[Special power line [Original Sin Ability · Desire] obtained!

This power comes from the Fragment of Desire and is an outside force that can be retrieved by the binder of the fragment at any time.

The specific effects of this power line are:

Grants the possessor the talent of [Desire Perception], making the user more sensitive to the deepest desires in the hearts of the surrounding lives.

This talent is passively activated, you can specify the target of perception, and the success rate of perception depends on the gap in thought attributes between the two parties.

The effect is influenced by the Charm attribute. When the target’s attitude is amicable, admiring, or intimate, the success rate of perception increases, and vice versa, the success rate decreases.

The current compatibility of [Original Sin Ability · Desire] with the user is: Low!

After the compatibility improves, this special power line will unlock more talents.

But please remember, morality can only restrain oneself, but desire can control others!]

Murphy read the description of this power line.

He was somewhat confused and didn’t quite understand what this "Desire Perception" meant.

And the Cui Si in front of him was blinking her eyes, looking at him. She had only seen Salockdale use this power before, and she didn’t really understand its mechanism, but she was certain this power would be definitely useful to a real ruler!

The reason Salockdale was able to stabilize Cardman City and even all of Transylvania for 400 years was thanks to this ability of desire.

She really wished Murphy’s fledgling endeavour would go smoothly, as a form of compensation for forcing little Mo Fei to dissolve the blood covenant with her.

She didn’t want this to form a rift between her and little Mo Fei.

Murphy was about to discuss the working mechanism of this thing with Cui Si, but when he looked into Cui Si’s alluring eyes flickering with red light, a voice suddenly echoed in his ear—ethereal yet present :

"This reckless bastard, always leaving me flustered. Ah, what attitude should I use to face him? Should I give him the cold shoulder? Or be my usual self?

Or should I be a bit warmer and give him some sweetness?

Seriously, being pursued feels quite novel.

Those in the past were either terrified of me, or they were madness itself, like Palano. Hmm, the kiss last night...felt strange...maybe another one would feel more normal? Should I take the initiative to kiss him?

Ah!

Damn thoughts!

Get out!

These are not the lowly thoughts that the Scarlet Witch should have!"
