Chapter 399: 139. The name of Cardman City is too unlucky! I want to call it..._1

It is now the 23rd hour since the casual gamers left Transylvania.

After sending off Natalie and her witch hunters, along with Major Fraser who had been continually recording the story, and giving them a broken chief’s ring from Salockdale as proof of death, Murphy quickly convened a meeting.

Accurately speaking, this was Murphy’s first time convening the managers of his territory as "Count Cardman."

Therefore, it could be referred to as a council of vassals.

However, except for appointing three Barons, Murphy hadn’t assigned any specific tasks in the territory yet. Therefore, it was a certainty that after this meeting, all participants would likely have more official positions.

It was an obvious fact.

Thus, apart from Baroness Milian and Professor Malcolm, everyone else at the meeting was delighted. Though they tried hard to maintain calm, their eyes betrayed their excitement.

Although Cardman City was destroyed.

Although out of the 150,000 people in the city, only less than 3000 were left unaccounted for.

Although they were currently living in shanties and were destined to go through hard times before the reconstruction was completed.

Although as the "Protector of Transylvania" and the 400-year-old noble Blood Vulture Clan, barely survived extinction.

But none of this mattered!

If they could seize this opportunity to achieve a social class transition overnight, just like Miss Milian... Oops, no, like the noble Baroness Milian, then for the opportunists, this disaster could also be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The calmness of Milian and Professor Malcolm came from the fact that Milian had already had her share of the cake and was full, while Malcolm was a scholar who has seen the changes of the world.

The decency brought about by knowledge allowed him to understand the inherent danger and severity of the current situation, so the imminent positions, offices, and honors didn’t seem as tempting anymore.

All these managers were sitting in a room on the side of the second hall of the Blood Eagle Corridor, which was originally for the corridor guards to rest and relax, was now converted into a conference room.

Everybody was waiting for the Count’s arrival.

"Bang"

"Lord Count Cardman has arrived!"

The door was pushed open.

With Lady Adel’s slightly hoarse voice reminding them, everyone stood up to welcome the lord of the land beneath them.

Murphy had not adorned his blood race light armor but wore a crimson robe, his waist was belted with the necessary evil. He entered the room with hands behind his back, dressed elegantly, and charmingly smiling.

Loyal Maxim and Adel would also participate in the arrangements for the detailed rules of territory management as his two Barons.

The Vampire Lord gestured downwards, signaling everyone to sit down.

He gazed at the crowd with crimson eyes, and seeing their expressions gave him a strong sense of deja vu, like when he was back in his old company, discussing weekly tasks in a dull Monday meeting with a bunch of disenchanted workers.

Hmm, that was a position he had worked for ten years to attain, thinking back it was quite a pity, he wondered who would be the lucky one to take over it?

Having this thought in mind, Murphy coughed.

He sat on the chair that Lady Adel had pulled out for him, calmly spoke:

"Thank you all for your contributions during this time. Because of your assistance, the survivors of Cardman City were quickly settled after the disaster. My eyes have seen the changes happening every day in the camp, I have witnessed the fear-stricken refugees regaining their confidence in life under your management and comfort."

"After the feast, they are ready, with courage in their hearts, to return to their hometown and rebuild their homes."

"This is all your achievement, everyone!"

"Although I am a vampire, I also understand the human society. So I decided to give back to you what is rightfully yours before we start discussing major issues."

After saying this, Murphy waved his hand, and Lady Adel standing beside him immediately unfurled the scroll in her hands.

This "Voice of the Count" cleared her throat and read:

"By the authority of Cui Si·Kawendina·Ga·Lorin·Lusenbura, lady of the Blood Vulture Clan and the sovereign of the night in Transylvania, granted to Count Cardman, the list of ennobled vassals and territory managers under his jurisdiction are as follows:
