Chapter 730: 249. Competitive spirit, truly is a beautiful yet terrifying thing_3

Phemys gasped:

"Others will think you’re crazy."

"You thought I was crazy when I wanted to rally the witch hunters against Salockdale, but look who now rules the land?

Actions speak louder than words, but I don’t plan on rewarding the Wolf People anything visible. From other people’s perspective, they are a dangerous wolf, but if the double agent’s identity is used well, it can bring us unimaginable benefits in the future.

However, I do intend to let them control some power, that is part of the agreement."

Murphy stroked his chin and said:

"Anyway, our chosen frontline against the Black Disaster is between Dark Baron Territory and the Polluted Swamp. Once that line is established, the area of the Smugglers’ Forest will be abandoned willingly. It wouldn’t be a problem to let Wolf People manage that.

If the Wolf People are smart enough, they could also interact with our warriors just like we do...

In short, you two are in charge of psionic beheading.

I’m no expert.

So, I won’t comment."

"You can be an expert! You are also a psychic, although you prefer to summon."

Cui Si was annoyed at Murphy’s indifference to psychic ability, she elongated her voice, saying:

"Little Murphy, I know you prefer swordsmanship, but this won’t do. If you can’t handle the test I’m going to prepare for you in a few days ..."

"Ah, I am already reviewing now, Cui Si. You know I’m quite busy, so please give me some time."

Murphy stopped drinking wine and turned around rather awkwardly. He left the Clan Leader’s office amidst the strange laughter of Cui Si and Phemys. He was looking for a place to read Cui Si’s notes seriously, but as soon as he went out, he saw Count Bai of White Mountain in front of him.

This was not a coincidence.

Andre was specifically waiting for him.

"Is something the matter?"

Murphy asked politely yet keeping his distance, Andre did not make small talk. He blinked his gray-blue eyes with crimson hints and said to Murphy:

"I don’t know what you guys are planning, but I saw Lady Lionea training her knights and escorts a while ago. Seems like she’s planning to join the crusade against the Wolf People. However, the Blood alliance knights had clearly stated when they came they wouldn’t participate in similar actions.

The situation clearly has changed. I guess this is related to the activities of Wolf Poison Clan in Transylvania?"

"You’re on point."

Murphy nodded, without denial.

Count Bai of White Mountain quickly said:

"Then, please hand over this part of the duty to me and my followers!"

"Hmm?"

Murphy looked at the formal and serious alien vampire right in front of him in surprise. After a few seconds, he asked:

"Why? You have no reason to help us, and this goes against your personal interest. Given the current situation, you should be hopeful that I get embarrassed by the Wolf People, and then you could take my place, right?"

"If I was a fool or a short-sighted one who craved for authority, I indeed must think so, but regretfully or happily, I’m not."

Andre shrugged, this Vampire faction leader who’s not very mature but always striving for growth said:

"We indeed have conflicts of interest. But I would like to express my philosophy to you once again with this opportunity.

The White Mountain Faction I established is not just for the benefit of the Thorn Clan. Saying so may sound arrogant and not in accordance with the ancient traditions and virtues of the Blood race. However, the fact is, my faction members, just like me, are all vampires with significant interests tied to the Nordtof royal family.

Our goal is to make the country better, not just to struggle for power within the clan.

We disdain to immerse ourselves in such a pitiful ideal, nor to be satisfied with a few cold leftovers.

In the face of the threat of the Black Disaster, whether I get power in Transylvania is not important. What matters is to get through this disaster peacefully, let us who are stuck in Transylvania live on and have a ’future’ to speak of.

Besides, to be honest.

I’ve been with you for almost a month now, and I have to admit, you’re much better than me in many ways.

In these circumstances, the right thing for me would be to stay and learn from you."

Moreover, Lady Xiani and the Grand Duke of Cui Si have formed a Blood Covenant. This means we share a common interest when fighting against the Wolf Poison Clan."

I wish to shoulder this responsibility!"

Count Bai of White Mountain emphasized:

"This is not just for my personal honor, but also for my country and my clan."

"A fair and square reason. Not bad."

Murphy nodded, seemingly accepting this argument. Yet his words suddenly shifted, fixating on Andre:

"Yet, I don’t believe a single word! You need to give me a reason that convinces me.

We’re vampires, Andre. We don’t engage in unprofitable matters. This selfish instinct isn’t even related to our will, but rather a rule constraint under midnight.

Unless you’re a rare benevolent vampire, like Kudell, who loves doing good deeds.

But according to my observation, you are not.

So, please kindly tell me, what benefits can you obtain from helping your competitors which lead to your proactive decision?"

Andre hesitated for a moment.

After a few seconds, he lowered his voice and said:

"The remaining members of my faction are due to arrive at Crimson Castle tomorrow. The White Mountain Faction has already been disbanded, which has greatly affected the enthusiasm and unity within my faction that I have always tried to maintain. I urgently need to win a victory to boost morale.

The most important thing is that I must prove to those who are watching me that I still have the ability to lead.

To my followers.

To my Clan Leader.

And finally, to my sister who sits on the throne of the ice palace!

I want to show my growth and abilities, proving that I did not become the Count of White Mountain and faction leader because of my bloodline alone, but also because of my capabilities!

The most, most important thing..."

He raised his head to look at Murphy, his eyes filled with unabashed frustration, discontent, and stubbornness as he stated:

"We were turned into vampires at the same time, Murphy! If you can do it, why can’t I?"

This last reason is childish.

These are absolutely not words that a sophisticated and aloof vampire count should utter.

But Murphy chooses to believe.

"Ah, the unique spirit of competition and rivalry among young people is a dreadful thing."

Murphy sighed.

The voice of his heart heard through his Desire Ability also affirms this, proving that Andre wasn’t lying.

Although Andre was turned into a vampire around the same time as him and their actual ages are almost the same, compared to him, Andre does indeed act impulsively and childishly.

There’s no helping it.

Despite his youthful appearance, his vampire body contains a cunning social person’s soul. He has long past the phase where he would act impulsively just because he cannot accept defeat, but Andre...

He is genuinely young.

"Alright then, I’ll leave it to you!"

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"My descendant, Adel, will cooperate with you in carrying out this ’Dance with the Wolves’ mission. I’m giving you the chance to prove yourself, but be careful this time around, don’t mess it up.

Face is often gifted by others, but also often lost due to one’s own doing.

I’ve given you face, Andre.

So, you’ve got one more person to prove your capabilities to!

Don’t let me down!"
