Chapter 379: 132. Goodnight, Transylvania_2

Not that they have any dirty motives...

After all, it’s not easy to find a top-notch Blood Descendant like Lady Adel, who is both strong and beautiful. The real gain here is the absolute control a Vampire Lord has over their Descendants.

This superseding sense of loyalty, is an incredible blessing to Stick Brother, a guy who naturally lacks security.

Other players were also complaining about the ill-timed software update, but it’s necessary!

Murphy needs to give them some time to think carefully.

After all, this is not just a game, but a sophisticated affair. There are no rerolls or resets.

Once they become a Vampire and then regret it, even if they flood the feedback section on the forum until the server explodes, Murphy couldn’t offer them an undo.

The most important thing is that Lady Cui Si’s Spiritual Energy weaving experiment won’t have final results for another two days. Murphy planned to reevaluate the scene whilst the players are resting, sorting out loose ends, tidying up the current gaming environment, prepping a new main quest to welcome the "new update."

At this moment, the countdown timer for the game shutdown has started to tick on the players’ interface. It makes them grumble, moving in pairs and trios from the Descendants’ Hall back to the Midnight Room, where the game is saved.

However, Wumeioge and the other 15 who were the first to enter the game testing seemed to deliberately lag behind. After everyone else had left, they cunningly circled back.

The 16 of them exchanged looks and patiently waited at the entrance of the Descendants’ Hall.

In addition to the side quest "Midnight’s Call" they had just triggered, these 16 "veteran gamers" also had an extra hidden mission "Old Friend’s Gratitude".

They verified that none of the players from the second or third waves had it.

So what was it?

Clearly, it’s Sir Murphy granting a special favor to the first 16 warriors who followed him!

Sir Murphy didn’t forget the old friends who were there from the beginning. He’s trying to secure benefits for them. You’ve got to admit, this game’s NPC design is really nuanced.

In the past, Murphy was a nobody, fighting side by side with them.

Now that Murphy has made it big, he certainly can’t forget the old friends who struggled with him from the start.

Murphy didn’t keep the 16 players waiting too long. Soon enough, he appeared before them, leaning on the Wolf Poison wand and sword he had confiscated from Jopan Mark.

It was clear he was still a bit weak, but upon seeing the 16 familiar faces that had accompanied him for the longest time, the vampire lord showed a gentle smile everyone knew well.

"We’ve been through a lot of challenges together, my warriors... no, my friends. I just want you to know that, although I am a vampire born from midnight, I understand gratitude."

He didn’t make a big speech.

Surrounded by the 16 players, he opened his Spiritual Energy bag, taking out one after another of the glowing, mysterious, yet unmarked Blood Vulture Clan seals to hand out to the warriors beside him.

He said softly,

"If you decide to walk this road of midnight, then these seals, affirming your belonging, are my gifts to you. But don’t feel pressured, I understand not everyone will be willing to surrender to the eternal night.

The soothing touch and embrace of the sun still remind me in my midnight dreams of the human identity I lost. I don’t have the right to ask you to do something you’re not willing to do in this world on my behalf.

Nevertheless, you can keep these precious rings, go find an Alchemist or Enchanter to make them into items that suit your job types or pure souvenirs. Such pure blood stones are rarely found on the continent, thus even aside from the Blood Vulture Clan symbol, these things can be regarded as treasures worth more than gold.

This is my private gratitude to you for the warm companionship you’ve offered me."

Murphy chuckled, turning to the 16 "veteran-status" players with a friendly demeanor,

"Considering your special circumstances, even if you join the Blood Vulture Clan, you might not be able to truly follow the laws of the dark night like us. But I’ve already applied to Lady Cui Si, if you’re willing, after you join the Clan, I will become your nominal lord.

Leading, teaching, and protecting you.

You can consider this a privilege, exclusive to you, compared to the other warriors. It might seem a bit unfair to them.

But I think, this is a reward you deserve!"

"Holy smokes!"

The 16 players were stunned.

In typical role-playing games, players often play the roles on the fringe or symbolically important positions of large organizations.

But with the current status of Murphy, being only second to the Lord of the Blood Vulture Clan himself, letting players directly become his nominal Descendants is an "OP" start that obviously doesn’t fit the norm of role-playing games.

The only explanation is that the "promises" Murphy just proposed are likely to be the real "closed-beta rewards" left for the first wave of closed-beta players by the development team.

"What to do? I’m kind of tempted."

Wumeioge, who had already transferred to being an Apprentice of the Oak class, was somewhat torn.
