Chapter 378: 132. Goodnight, Transylvania_1

Eventually, Milian accepted the title and land of the "Baroness of Morlan". Slightly dizzy from the night bat seal of the Crimson Regent on her finger, she returned to Lady Cui Si’s side and plopped down on the chair.

Her mind was a blank. She couldn’t think properly.

She felt like she’d been ensnared by some cunning vampires using a mind-altering spell, but Lady Cui Si knew that it was just cognitive overload from too much thinking in a short period of time.

No big deal.

A little rest and a few sips of wine should take care of it.

The ceremony had officially ended, but there was one last, most crucial announcement to be made by Murphy. Amid the whispers of the low-level players on the second floor, Murphy rose from his chair.

Leaning on his weapon, the Desire Blade, he took a deep breath and looked up.

His gentle gaze swept over each of the faces of the low-level players, remembering how these lovely, brave souls from another world fought under his command and recalling the process of meeting and getting to know each of them.

Although he’d only been with these players for less than a month, they were already quite familiar with each other.

The regretful part was, Murphy couldn’t determine if they saw him as a friend or if their favorability stemmed solely from his generosity as a Main Story NPC.

He wanted to know the answer to that question.

Perhaps all he needed to do was to use his Desire Perception to listen and the answer would come.

But in the end, Murphy didn’t.

He didn’t want to face any disappointment, and it wasn’t the right time.

Putting those thoughts out of his mind, he quietly grabbed the Core Bead tied to his wrist, activating the task assignment feature. The already composed text and content were ready to be dispatched.

"My brave warriors! I am where I am today, no longer a marginalized man in my family but a person of importance, all thanks to your unyielding fights over the past month. Everything I now hold dear has been built upon your sacrifices.

In this regard, I must make an announcement!

I am about to make a decision that goes against countless traditions set by vampire ancestors.

This may render me an outcast among my kind, but I know it’s a necessary step!

I want to share the blessings of midnight and the strength of crimson with you, as generously and loyally as you have sided with me."

"Ding, ding, ding!"

As Murphy finished his statement, a task alert sounded on every player’s Calculating Pearl, indicating a massive update to the main storyline mission.

Wumeioge glanced downwards and saw the site of a new task notification on his player interface:

[Racial Sub-quest ’Call of Midnight’ has been triggered!

Task Content: Touched by your courage and loyalty, Count Cardman Sir Murphy is provoked to action. As the Blood Vulture Clan nears extinction, he and Lady Cui Si must make a difficult decision that violates traditional vampire law.

He wishes to invite you to join the Blood Vulture Clan, becoming a member of the Midnight Aristocracy and the Eternal Sinful Descendants.

Of course, Sir Murphy would never ever force his warriors to do anything, so whether to answer Sir Murphy’s call is for you to decide.

Task Goal: Answer Lady Cui Si and Count Cardman Sir Murphy’s call, complete the Black Iron Trial, perform the vampire adoption, and join the Blood Vulture Clan.

(Ps. This task can only be completed after the version update.)

Task Reward: New race template and unique power system, new reputation system, and gameplay update.

(Ps. All of the above features will be implemented once the version update is complete.)

Note!

This task is optional, and refusing the task will not affect your current reputation with any faction.

Note!

The Vampire race is the development team’s first attempt at introducing a new race gameplay. Refusing this task will not affect your ability to experience more new races that will be released in subsequent versions.

Developer’s Note!

Vampires are a powerful race with apparent advantages, but they also have significant disadvantages that cannot be ignored. Test players, please choose wisely.

Developer’s Note!

Once this task is accepted and completed, your gameplay will permanently change and cannot be reversed. Test players, please choose wisely.

Developer’s Note!

The test server will shut down in 20 minutes for the Alpha2.0 version update.

Test players, please log off at the initial save point - the Midnight Room in the Blood Eagle Corridor. The update will take 48 hours. Test players, please be patient while waiting for the update to be completed.]

"Dammit! I was just about to offer my heart to Sir Murphy and now you tell me I have to wait 48 hours for an update before I can continue my loyalty quest?

This is completely ridiculous!

All the immersion in the game was instantly gone!"

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Truck cried out on the spot.

He’d been yearning for the sensation of flying ever since he’d tried the "Vampire Experience Card". The recent task made him wait for an update, which he found unacceptable.

"Bloody hell! The development team is utterly unfaithful! I suggest dragging them out for a punishment!"

Happy Stick was also gritting his teeth.

It wasn’t so much that he favored the vampire race due to its plot as the pure beauty of power it offered.

Moreover, Happy Stick kept replaying the cutscene of the vampire adoption in his mind. He wondered if player-controlled vampires could "adopt" others the way the NPC vampire did.
